Delphos native Gehr decorated with Purple Heart
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
dhi MEDIA Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Lance Corporal
Gabriel R. Gehr didnt see it coming.
While on patrol at Camp Bastion in
Afghanistan, an 82 millimeter anti-
tank rocket landed in the compound
and exploded less than 10 meters
away from him, sending shrapnel
ripping into his left forearm, left rib
cage near his lung and through his
left calf.
On November 20, 2013, Gehr and
two other Marines wounded in the
attack were own by Black Hawks
out of the British military base and
then transported by C-17 to Bagrum
for surgery. By Thanksgiving, he
was in Germany undergoing addi-
tional surgery and then own into
the states, rst landing at Andrews
Airforce Base and then transported
to Camp Pendleton in California.
Gehr has experienced more in his
short lifetime of 21 years than many
will ever comprehend; however,
he does have one thing in common
with a limited number of brave indi-
viduals -- he was awarded the Purple
Heart.
During a ceremony on May 5 at
Camp Pendleton, Brigadier General
Vincent A. Coglianese, command-
ing general, 1st Marine Logistics
Group (MLG), pinned the medal
on Corporal Gehr who was awarded
the accommodation after sustaining
injuries while supporting Operation
Enduring Freedom. The Battilion
of 12,000 Marines were all in atten-
dance and congratulated him.
Im very proud to receive The
Purple Heart, Corporal Gehr said
in earnest. I represent the ones that
could not make it home.
Gehr has maintained full duty,
has worked through a lot of physical
therapy and is getting healthy.
The shrapnel went through my
leg and there was a lot of muscle
damage and some nerve damage,
Gehr explained. I have to get more
mobile and I cant run yet.
He said getting home was chaotic
and he had to be cleared medically
to go.
I nally got to see my wife on
December 24, Gehr said. Right in
time for Christmas.

VAN WERT Van Wert
lawyer David Zeigler had the
unique experience of spending
time in Alaska during the Ko-
rean Conict. There, Zeigler
was involved with the Arc-
tic Test Branch of the United
States Army.
Our branch tested Arctic
equipment and Arctic cloth-
ing equipment, said Zeigler.
There were times when it
would be -50 degrees all day
long.
After receiving an under-
graduate degree from North-
western University in Evan-
ston, Ill., Zeigler opted to
enlist in the Army.
The day before I gradu-
ated, I went downtown to en-
list, Zeigler said. I had been
deferred, so I enlisted in Chi-
cago.
Zeigler received his basic
training in the School of Ar-
tillery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
His next stopping place was
Fort Lewis, Washington, be-
fore receiving his orders to go
to Alaska.
Once Zeigler arrived in
Alaska, he became a clerk/
typist for a colonel that was
in charge of the Arctic Test
Branch. At Big Delta, Alaska,
Zeigler learned that because
of his college degree, he re-
ceived favored treatment, es-
pecially because he had strong
typing skills. In addition to
his desire to serve his country,
Zeigler also enlisted with the
hopes of tapping into the GI
Bill in order to continue on in
law school.

DELPHOS Jim Rode entered the Ma-
rines in July 1970 on a dare from his brother.
My brother Tony told me I couldnt make
it through boot camp, Rode recalled. He was
in the Marines in Da Nang during Veitnam. So
I signed up to prove him wrong.
Rode, one of nine children, signed up on the
180-day Delay Program in October 1969 when
he was 17 and went in on July 1970 after he
turned 18. He was sent to Parris Island, South
Carolina, but his boot camp was delayed for
lack of an instructor.
We had to wait for a drill instructor so I
spent the time getting mentally prepared to
prove my brother wrong, Rode said.

OHIO CITY A simple plaque
in the home of Bill and Marcile Bo-
lenbaugh of rural Ohio City says ev-
erything about the respect their home
community of Ohio City has for
them and their successful children. It
states that in 2010, Bolenbaugh was
honored with the lifetime achieve-
ment award as an alumnus of Ohio
City-Liberty High School where he
graduated in 1944 just prior to going
into World War II.
Two buddies and me went to
Lima three days before graduation
and joined the Navy, said Bolen-
baugh on his quaint farm, complete
with spring owers and this years
garden. They were already 18
years-old. We were going to be to-
gether throughout our deployment in
the war.
The three returned to the local
area until they reported on June 12,
1944. The war made an old man out
of me when I was still a kid, said
Bolenbaugh. I worked on the rail-
road the summer between my junior
and senior years in high school. I
worked with a telegraph signal gang.
We didnt have the time to run
around. Most of us kids worked re-
ally hard, observed Bolenbaugh.
Bolenbaugh and his two friends
reported to Great Lakes Naval Acad-
emy where he noted he learned ev-
erything he was supposed to know in
six and a half weeks time.
We came home for nine days and
then back to Great Lakes, said Bo-
lenbaugh. About a week later they
put us on a train one night. When the
sun came up we knew that we were
headed west.
We ended up in a naval base
close to Oakland, Cal., continued
Bolenbaugh. We were there about
10 days and then we took to the bay.
At that point, Bolenbaugh was
aboard the USS Admiralty Islands,
part of a Pacic Fleet transport
squadron to New Guinea. He said
that during the Pacic trip, he didnt
always know what direction he was
going because the carrier maneu-
vered back and forth to confuse their
route due to the Japanese submarines
that were in the area. It took us 21
days to get to New Guinea, said Bo-
lenbaugh. They divided the group
up, but my two buddies were with
me right to the end. We went to New
Guinea in a transient mode.
We were put on the USS Attu and
went to a harbor on Manus Island,
continued Bolenbaugh. There were
2,000 ships in the harbor. It was the
largest harbor in the world.
As part of a repair unit, Bolen-
baugh spent much of his time ini-
tially unloading steel. They put me
on a pontoon barge. It had a 45-ton
crane on it. We were still sitting dry
dock in the Admiralty Islands, said
Bolenbaugh.

CINCINNATI (AP) Nothing seemed amiss and the Cincin-
nati college student was acting his normal, happy self the day
before he went missing, the 21-year-olds parents said Friday at a
news conference, while pleading for him to come home.
Brogan Dulle, a sophomore in education at the University of
Cincinnati, was last seen around 2 a.m. Sunday leaving his apart-
ment to look for his cellphone, police said. The phone had gone
missing after Dulle went out for drinks with some friends.
Police said Dulle left his apartment without his wallet or keys.
But theyve found no evidence of foul play, Lt. Col. James Whalen
said. Leads in the case have gone cold.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR
March sales in VW County rise
BY ED GEBERT
dhi MEDIA Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT After ve consecu-
tive months of losses in sales tax col-
lection in Van Wert County, the trend
reversed in March as collections jumped
by a little more than 16 percent. The
gures released this week by Van Wert
County Treasurer Bev Fuerst showed an
increase in buying within the county, but
not necessarily local buying. A big jump
was reported in sellers use tax, which
is on purchases made to consumers in
Van Wert County from out-of-state re-
tailers. These funds could be from out-
of-state retailers set up and selling in
Van Wert County or sales by Internet
or telephone.
Even without the jump in sellers
use tax, the county still showed an in-
crease for sales made during the month
of March. Collections for the month to-
taled $47,041 more than the same month
one year prior. The sellers tax collec-
tion rose by approximately $24,380.
After years where the county showed
repeated growth in sales tax collection
on Van Wert Countys 1.5 percent in
local permissive sales tax, that trend
stopped with the December 2013 report
on October sales. Since that time, to-
tals were marginally lower each month.
The higher collections in the May re-
port did not entirely make up the differ-
ence for the year. Van Wert County is
running about $29,000 behind in 2014
collections.

DELPHOS After a brief brown bag
luncheon, members of The Green Thumb
Garden Club got down to business dis-
cussing club participation in events com-
ing up in this summer, fall and winter
during the clubs monthly meeting on
Monday.
President Judy Jester said there are
three big events this year and the rst up
for discussion is the Ohio Association of
Garden Clubs (OAGC) Regional District
Fall Meeting on Oct. 21.
We are responsible for providing a
location for the meeting, which will in-
clude breakfast and a luncheon, Jester
said. We also have to collect the money
for the event.
Members Louis Sroufe and Lynn
Rhoads said they have already secured
the Trinity United Methodist Church
as the location for the meeting. In ad-
dition, club members discussed menu
item options for the luncheon, which
will be prepared for over 60 people.
The group thought soup and sandwich-
es shredded chicken or beef and
a dessert would be appropriate for the
event.
Club member Joey Sellers said she
thought apple fritters would be a nice fall
dessert.
Jester said it would be tting to have
hot tea and apple cider also.
Happy Hours (one of two Lima gar-
den clubs involved) will take care of the
breakfast, Jester said. The Lima Gar-
den Club will set up tables and chairs the
night before the meeting.

He fell in love with airplanes be-
fore he had ever been close enough
to touch one.
Charles Lindbergh grew up with
a fascination for anything moving
and motorized. He constantly tin-
kered on the familys Saxon Six au-
tomobile and later his own Excelsior
motorbike. After graduating from
high school, he enrolled in the en-
gineering program at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison but that at-
tempt lasted barely two years before
he dropped out to enroll in ight
school in Nebraska. On campus for
only a little more than a week, he
took his rst ride in a plane and then
followed that trip with his rst ight
lesson.
Lindbergh was hooked.
There were challenges along the
way, however, and those bumps re-
sulted in some of his various nick-
names. He did not have enough
money to post a bond the school
only had one trainer plane which
they could not afford to lose - so he
was never allowed to solo as a ight
student. To gain ight time and expe-
rience around planes, Lindbergh left
the school after a few months and
joined a barnstorming tour as a wing
walker and parachutist. By the next
spring he had saved enough money
to buy an old surplus World War I
biplane, a Curtiss JN-4 Jenny. He
immediately took off for the west
coast with only ve hours of solo
time as experience. He spent the rest
of the season back on the barnstorm-
ing tour, performing under the name,
Daredevil Lindbergh.
Lindbergh then joined the Army
Air Service and in a class of 104 pi-
lots, he graduated at the top of the
list. With no war occurring at the
time, Lindbergh was sent to the re-
serves but he continued to y for the
110th Observation Squadron even as
he resumed his barnstorming career.
Within a year he nally settled down
to a more sedate ying career as an
air mail carrier.
At this point in his life, Lindbergh
could have lived out the rest of his
days as an important, if anonymous,
part of the early days of ight. But
the man who had once been known
as Daredevil and now was called
Lucky Lindy because of his pen-
chant for walking away from any
sort of crash or mechanical failure,
was not one to go quietly into that
good night.
In February of 1927, Lindbergh
moved to San Diego to oversee
the construction of his new air-
plane, the Spirit of St. Louis. He
was chasing the $25,000 Orteig
Prize, which had been offered by
a wealthy hotelier to the rst pilot
who would non-stop solo, in either
direction, across the Atlantic. Sev-
eral other pilots were in the chase
for the cash as well with at least
two planes crashing on take off be-
cause of the weight of all the extra
fuel and a third who crossed the
coast of Ireland headed west never
to be heard from again. By the time
Lindbergh sat at the head of the
runway in the Spirit of St. Louis
in May, six pilots had already lost
their lives in pursuit of the prize.
Miserable weather almost did in
Lindbergh at the start. A muddy run-
way and a light rain combined with
450 extra gallons of gasoline caused
him to use nearly all of the almost
mile long eld, going airborne and
clearing the telephone lines at the
end by only 20 feet.
That was only the start of the dan-
gers. Lindbergh at times climbed to
get over storm clouds and then ew
only ten feet off the Atlantic Ocean
waves. Fog blanketed him in and ice
threatened to weigh down his fabric-
lined plane. But on May 21, 1927,
Lindbergh landed at Le Bourget at
10:22 p.m. with a crowd of an esti-
mated 150,000 in attendance. He was
dragged from the plane by the enthu-
siastic fans and Lucky changed his
nickname once again, this time to
The Lone Eagle and was forever
thrust into the public eye.
Here now is a reprint of the May
20, 1927, Van Wert Daily Bulle-
tin article detailing the take off of
Charles Lindbergh in the Spirit of St.
Louis and the beginning of his ight
to fame.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A dhi MEDIA publication Saturday, May 24 & Sunday, May 25, 2014 A5
Lindbergh becomes The Lone Eagle by soloing the Atlantic
Roosevelt Flying Field, N.Y.,
May 20. - (INS) Braving the per-
ils of rain storms and fog over the
North Atlantic, Captain Charles A.
Lindbergh, the young, dare-devil
American aviator, hopped off on
the 3,600 mile, non-stop, trans-
ocean ight for Paris this morning
in his Ryan monoplane, Spirit of
St. Louis. Lindbergh took to the
air at 7:52 oclock.
Flying alone and carrying only
sandwiches, a few chocolate bars
and some distilled water, Lind-
bergh departed in misty weather.
Rain earlier in the night had ceased
at 4:00 oclock.
His machine had been brought
here from its hangar at Curtiss y-
ing eld at 4:30 oclock, in order to
take advantage of the specially pre-
pared runway nine-tenths of a mile
in length.
The ying fool traveled almost
a mile, nine-tenths to be exact, be-
fore his plane rose from the ground.
He ew very low, and passed out of
sight of the thousands of watchers
at the eld at an altitude of only 200
feet.
The rst of the men who for
days have been waiting for good
weather to make the hop off on
the long 3,600 mile ight, headed
straight east as he took to the air.
The young pilot of the Spirit of
St. Louis had planned to circle the
eld three times as a nal engine
test before starting out on his lone
ight, but he evidently changed his
mind after leaving the ground, and
decided to be on his way without
any more delay.
Commander Richard Byrd, who
plans to hop off soon in his giant
Fokker on the similar expedition,
waved good-bye to the young St.
Louisian.
Good luck, old man, he shout-
ed. Ill see you in Paris. Lind-
bergh only grinned.
A great cheer rose from the
packed thousands of watchers on
the eld, who were held back by
heavy police detachments, as the
silver colored plane, glinting in
the faint sun which shone through
a fast disappearing mist, rose from
the ground, its engine roaring a last
farewell.
Lindberghs plane carried a total
weight of 5,130 pounds, said by of-
cials to be the heaviest load ever
taken off the eld by a monoplane.
The nal load of gasoline had been
taken aboard just before the start.
Among those to wish the young
aviator good luck on the non-stop
ight to Paris, a feat which has
never yet been accomplished, was
Clarence Chamberlain, who had
hoped to take off on the 3.600 mile
hop before this in the Columbia
Aircraft Corporations Bellanca
monoplane. Chamberlains ight
is held up by litigation between the
corporation and Lloyd Bertaud, his
co-pilot. Bertaud was not at the
eld this morning.
Lindbergh, who was hardly
known to the general public until
a short time ago, when he made
a sensational trip across country
from San Diego, in two hops, car-
ried almost no provisions with him.
He had a few sandwiches and some
water. Not even coffee was taken to
assist him on the long trip, which it
is hoped will end Sunday morning
when the dare-devil lands in Paris.
The take-off was sudden and
unexpected, entirely in keeping
with Lindberghs desire to get away
on his great adventure with the
least amount of excitement. It was
all in a days work for him. Sudden
activity was noticed in his hangar
early this morning and a crowd be-
gan to collect. The machine was -
nally taken over to the long get-off
runway at Roosevelt eld, and the
gas taken aboard.

This week in 1989, a hu-
man guinea pig emerged from
a cave near Carlsbad, New
Mexico, after remaining iso-
lated underground for 130
days. Stefani Follini of Anco-
na, Italy, an interior decorator,
had volunteered to be a part of
the project being run by the
University of Ancona, several
U.S. universities and NASA.
With her only contact to the
outside world a computer, Fol-
lini lost 17 pounds and made
friends with two mice that she
kept as pets. The experiment
was intended to study the ef-
fects of isolation on humans
as a part of future space travel.

ry. Lukens defense team was
attempting to introduce the

This week in 1939, the
U.S.S. submarine Squalus
sank in 240 feet of water off
the coast of Portsmouth, New
Hampshire while on a test dive.
U.S. Navy divers were being
rushed to the area to assess the
situation and to try to ascertain
how many of the more than
60 crew were still alive. This
was the rst serious American
submarine accident since 1927
when the S-4 sank after a colli-
sion with the U.S. Coast Guard

JUST BETWEEN US, Judy
Strete buzzed us on the horn
last night to ask about our good
health. She and husband, Bert,
were on their way back from
Florida to their home near Fre-
mont, Ind., and had stopped
at Mr. and Mrs. Midge Mc-
Clains.
The Stretes of course, are
former Van Werters. Judy
told us that on the way home,
while driving on the freeway
in Florida, they were suddenly
startled to hear the radio an-
nouncer talk about Van Wert
County.
He lauded the county for
taking a stand and not accept-
ing federal antipoverty funds.
Judy said they sure were
surprised to hear an announcer
way down in Florida talking
about the old home county.
Mayor C. Dan Pennell has
commended the police depart-
ment reserve and the Van Wert
High School Student Council
for their efforts in the annual
safety check.
I went thru the check lane
last night, hizzoner said,
and we are proud to display
a sticker, proving our car was
approved. More people should
take advantage of this service
just as soon as possible, the
mayor added.
So far there have been 741
cars checked, this is more than
what was checked last year in
four days. Van Wert City has
approximately 5,500 cars. It
would be well if at least half
of these motorists would take
advantage of the safety check.
Mayor Pennell pointed out
that this effort is just one im-
portant phase of trafc safety.
Mechanical items are checked
and motorists should know
the items that are checked and
should periodically check them
themselves. A safe vehicle is
the rst step in protecting mo-
torists. The check lanes are
open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
We were more than a little
surprised that nine schools in
our area turned down the Joint
Vocational School. Time to get
the soapbox. Be right back.
Now then, it seems to us that
the schools that turned thumbs
down on a vocational school
must not be thinking about the
welfare of their youngsters,
only their pocketbooks. When
you stop to think that not all
the youth have the money or
capacities to handle a college
education, it seems unfair to
them not to provide knowledge
that will equip them to make a
good living.
Only 34 percent of the Van
Wert High School Seniors are
going to college this fall. This
leaves a pretty big balance
that will be turning to other
avenues of making a living.
The large proposed vocational
school could teach a large vari-
ety of subjects and in truth be
a young college in itself. The
students would have a better
chance of making a go of it.
With 18 school districts in-
volved, the cost to any one of
them certainly would be meager.
We hope that the schools
that didnt see t to participate
will take another good look at
the program. School ofcials
are generally pretty good busi-
nessmen. Perhaps with another
look they can arrange their
funds to provide this added
knowledge for the students in
their area.
End of oration.
Just thought youd be inter-
ested in whats going on. No
extra charge.
The importance of a vocational school discussed
Hon. Moses Bradford, of Bradford Station,
North Marian, Ind., who recently visited Del-
phos for the purpose of taking a look at our
narrow-gauge railway, gives his observations
in the following communication:
I went to Delphos, Ohio, to see and learn
all about the narrow-gauge railroad. Arriving
there, instead of a small town, I found quite
a manufacturing place, especially of wood.
There are about 8 or 10 establishments, manu-
facturing staves, headings, whifetrees, neck
yokes, etc. It is a nice little city of about 4,000
inhabitants. I met with a cordial greeting and
a friendly people. We went to the bank of Jos.
Boehmer, and from there to the railroad ofce.
There I met Mr. Williams and Dr. Evens. They
are all very intelligent and friendly gentlemen.
I also met several others of a ne nature.
Early on the following morning we took
the narrow-gauge train north on the new road
for 16 miles. Our train consisted of nine cars, a
caboose, and a 12-ton engine. They make two
trips a day, out and back, bringing in timber, and
make about $165 per week, which is sufcient
to pay all ditches, section hands, engine men,
interest, expenses of every kind, and leave $65
clear every Saturday night. Now if one engine
and eight at cars do so well, what would two
do? The at cars are so light and run so easy
that one man can push two of them with ease.
When cars are left to be loaded, they
would be put off while the train was running
and two men would take hold of the posts,
and stop them, and have them loaded by the
time the train returned from the trips. Com-
ing out of that at and terrible woods, they had
26 passengers. From Delphos north, there are
16 miles done, and one ne bridge built over
the Auglaize River, three spans in length, each
span, 100 feet, a good bridge, and a good road.
At Delphos, the cars will run up to the ca-
nal, so that they can load and reload directly
from the boats.
Now, one word of caution to the people of Grant
Co. Look out for that little engine, for it doesnt
make much
noise. It might
run over you.

Mr. J.W. Hunt, the contractor, broke
ground on the southern extension of the To-
ledo, Delphos, and Indianapolis narrow-gauge,
last Monday. A force of hands were put to work
on a division of three miles, starting near the
P. Ft. W. & C. railroad and extending south. A
gang of hands also started out from Spencer-
ville to grade the line between that point and
Mendon. It is intended to run the cars to Men-

Believes He Invented
3-D Motion Pictures
A Dallas businessman believes he has
solved the problem of three dimension pictures
- a problem that has puzzled motion picture
technicians since the invention of the silent
drama.
L. Elliot Randall, former instructor in phys-
ical chemistry at Rice Institute, Texas, is the
inventor of the process by which he says, mo-
tion pictures with depth or a third dimension
may be produced.
Randall already has several inventions to
his credit, and is the holder of several scientic
degrees from Rice.

LINDBERGH/A9
DAYS/A10 WINDOW/A9
yest
Among my belongings is the rst trophy I ever won. Let
me tell you about that trophy. It looks a little more like a 3-D
plaque than a trophy with a small guy protruding from the dark
brown wooden plaque. The trophy guy is silver because I won
second place. It was in what is now called the Pitch, Hit, and
Run Competition. Back in my day it was the Pitch, Hit and
Throw Competition. We didnt run back then.
I was probably 10 years-old. I went to a baseball eld for
the contest. I had spent days honing my skills in the exceed-
ingly warm early summer air. I was ready. First up, was the
pitching contest. I stood some distance from what looked like
a wind sock stolen from an air eld. The object was to pitch as
many of the six balls through the circular opening of the wind
sock as possible. I dont remember having a pitching rubber to
stand on, but it was the approximate distance from the pitchers
mound to home plate for kids my age at that point. Something
less than a mile, Im sure. In practice, I wasnt that great at this.
I watched as some of the other boys would sink one or two of
the six during their turn. When my turn came, I nervously took
the rst ball and pitched it straight in. I probably would have
been happy with just one out of six, but I kept going. I missed
the second ball, then got another bullseye with my third pitch.
I already had as many in as anyone else. I was a success! Then
the unthinkable happened. I shot the fourth pitch into the wind
sock! I missed the fth, but sunk number six to give me a total
of four in out of six. I hadnt seen anyone else come close to
that.
Up next was the hitting competition, which was simply toss-
ing the ball up and hitting like most every boy with a bat did
until he got tired of chasing stray baseballs all afternoon. For
the competition, I underachieved. However, I took my medi-
ocre hitting score and proceeded to the nal segment of the
competition, the throw.
Theyve changed this part in the years that followed, but at
that time there was a hollow, oversized chunk of plastic in the
shape of home plate which was placed at the far end of the eld.
A measuring tape was attached to the center of the plate.
When a contestant would throw the ball at the plate from a
longer distance that I believe may have been just over a mile, a
judge would mark where the ball landed, and they would mea-
sure the distance you missed the plate by. It was a long ways
away, and nobody was really getting that close. I picked up the
ball and put everything I had into it. I threw it high and far.
Then the unthinkable happened.
I heard the hollow thud of base-
ball hitting the overgrown tar-
get. I had hit that thing on the y
with one mighty heave!
For my mornings activities, I
ranked second among the base-
ball eld full of kids and was
presented with that 3-D plaque
trophy I found in an old box. I remember having my picture
taken with that trophy after a meeting of the local Lions Club
and going on to the next round of competition somewhere
around Lansing, Michigan, where I quickly was eliminated.
The memories are a little fuzzy, but the trophy remains. I didnt
earn many trophies, but this one I worked for and earned.
My oldest boy earned a trophy for playing in a soccer
league for 3-4 year olds. Half his team members spent the
game with heads and feet on the ground, spinning around in an
effort to make themselves dizzy. Nobody knew the rules. More
knees were kicked than soccer balls. And my boy did OK. And
he got a trophy. So did all the dizzy three-year-olds with grass
stains on their heads. My kids were presented several trophies
in their careers. Some were earned. Others were simply accept-
ed. Participation trophies. (Insert the sound of spitting here.)
Participation trophies bring down the value of real trophies.
Someday may society will remember that.
One of my boys played baseball in a league where no one
was keeping score. There was no scorekeeper counting runs
scored, but you know what? Every kid on that eld knew what
the score was. Kids (people) are naturally competitive. They
realize when someone else has more cookies than they have.
They know when they hit the ball farther or throw more balls in
a wind sock, or hit a plastic thing from farther away. And they
strive to do their best. Maybe they arent THE best, but they
do their best. So why are so many adults trying to keep kids
from competing? From games with no scorekeepers to high
schools not naming a valedictorian or giving honors, some try
to pretend that kids are all the same and they accomplish the
same thing. They try to treat the next Michael Jordan and the
next Bill Gates exactly the same. And they award participation
trophies. Its a pity some kids wont get to remember how they
truly earned a trophy.
Memorial Day, originally
called Decoration Day, is a
day of remembrance for those
who have died in our nations
service. There are many sto-
ries as to its actual beginnings,
with more than two dozen cit-
ies and towns claiming to be
the holidays birthplace.
Memorial Day was ofcially
proclaimed on 5, May, 1868, by
General John Logan, national
commander of the Grand Army
of the Republic, in his General
Order No. 11, and was rst ob-
served on 30, May, 1868, when
owers were placed on the
graves of Union and Confed-
erate soldiers at Arlington Na-
tional Cemetery.
The rst state to ofcially
recognize the holiday was New
York in 1873. By 1890, it was
recognized by all of the north-
ern states. It is now celebrated
in almost every state on the
last Monday in May (passed
by Congress with the National
Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90
- 363) to ensure a three-day
weekend for the federal holi-
day). Some southern states still
set aside an additional day for
honoring the Confederate war
dead.
No matter where it started
and by whom, the premise has
stayed the same. We set aside
the day to remember those
who died ghting for their
country, their ag and your
and my freedoms.
The Memorial Day service
will, as usual, be held at the
Veterans Memorial Park. The
park has been well-tended in
the last several months. The
grass looks like it has been cut
with manicure scissors, it is so
precise.
I have witnessed the seem-
ingly endless parade of people
who come to the park to work,
relax and/or remember, or all
three. There have been many
times, while either driving by
the park or when leaving and
entering the Herald parking lot,
I will see a gure near one of
the markers, head bent in con-
centration. People walking in
the downtown area will detour
through the parks walkways
and stop to read names on the
pavers or memorials before go-
ing on with their day.
The park also serves as a
daily reminder of what some
have given for their country. It
is also a reminder that many are
still sacricing and will contin-
ue to do so through their brav-
ery and willingness to do what
many of us cant or wont.
On the website where I got a
lot of the history for Memorial
Day, www.usmemorialday.org,
I also found that, in general,
observance of Memorial Day
is on the decline. At many cem-
eteries, the graves of the fallen
are increasingly ignored and/or
neglected.
For some reason, I dont
think this will be a problem
in Delphos. Those visiting the
local cemeteries this week-
end will see a sea of crisp new
ags waving from hundreds of
graves. I have a feeling that this
years local observance will be
as well attended as any other.
To the editor,
I would like to thank Ohios Senator
Rob Portman for his stand against re-
newal of the Production Tax Credit. Over
the past 20 years, American taxpayers
have seen little return from the forced
investment in wind energy. This handout
consistently fails to deliver on its prom-
ise of long-term job creation, economic
activity, and affordability. It promotes
government favoritism in the energy
marketplace, threatens the reliability of
the energy grid and another two year ex-
tension will cost the taxpayers over $12
billion. Recent reports and studies have
also shown that subsidizing wind ener-
gy results in higher electricity costs for
American families.
So thank you Ohios Senator Rob
Portman for opposing the renewal of
the PTC. American taxpayers deserve a
portfolio of energy solutions that are eco-
nomically viable, not those that have to
be propped up by carve outs in the tax
code.
Sincerely,

CENTS
This is an important weekend in America, heralded by a
three-day break.
For some in America, this weekend means the unofcial
start of summer. For others, it means fun and festivities like
backyard barbecues or the Indianapolis 500 race. Students
are thrilled as many are now out of school for the summer
while others are done with their formal education and cel-
ebrating with graduation parties. And for some, the weekend
is nothing more than one extra day, a day they can stay at
home rather than going into work.
We believe the sacrices made by so many deserve to be
remembered on Memorial Day.
More than one million men and women have died while
serving America in one capacity or another during wartime.
Those numbers are swelled by those who fell even when
they were not in combat. According to the Department of
the Navy - Naval Historical Center website, World War II
was the rst war when more American personnel died at the
hands of the enemy than by other means. Deaths from dis-
ease or wounds, friendly re or even just training accidents
were more dangerous than combat. Even in World War I,
when a total of more than 116,000 U.S. forces died, almost
10,000 more died from circumstances other than combat.
Though in all the major wars since that time (World War
II, Korean War and the Vietnam Conict), the number of
deaths in battle have been signicantly higher, even as re-
cently as the Persian Gulf War, 61 percent (235 of 382 total)
of deaths have been attributed to other factors than combat.
According to statistics released from the Department of De-
fense as recently as eight weeks ago, a third of the deaths in
Operation Enduring Freedom have come from non-combat
incidents (220 out of 663) and a fth of those fallen in Op-
eration Iraqi Freedom (836 out of 4,261).
Memorial Day was created to remember all of those fall-
en men and women and to remind us of why they were ght-
ing. Originally known as Decoration Day, its roots go back
to honor Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. Most
historians consider Waterloo, New York, the birthplace of
the event when the town held its rst observance on May
5, 1866. By 1868, General John Logan, the commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued General Or-
ders No. 11 proclaiming May 30 to be Decoration Day. The
tombs of fallen Union soldiers nationwide were ordered to
be decorated with owers in honor of the day. Fittingly, the
date of May 30 was chosen because it was not the anniver-
sary of any battle - a gesture to bridge some of the remain-
ing hostility with the end of the Civil War still so recent.
That gesture made 141 years ago means just as much to-
day. The deaths of all those Americans would not mean as
much if the United States was only remembering them for
the battles in which they fell. When they paid the ultimate
price, they did not do it for personal glory or just to win
one more ght. The underlying cause of every one of those
deaths comes back to the protection of the freedoms that we
have come to expect as Americans - and sometimes take for
granted.
When you gather to protest against an injustice, remem-
ber a fallen soldier.
When you write a letter to the editor, remember a fallen
soldier.
When you travel from state to state or around the world,
remember a fallen soldier.
When you vote, remember a fallen soldier.
These are only a few ideas to honor the real reason for the
upcoming three-day weekend. We urge everyone to remem-
ber Memorial Day.

The AP Government
students of Van Wert High
School will be submitting a
weekly editorial to inform the
public on a variety of issues.
They have been encouraged
to research, take a position,
and defend their reasoning
for having such thoughts. The
purpose of these 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 stu-
dent author.
In December, Congress re-
newed a ban in the department
of gun safety. The Undetect-
able Firearms Act of 1988 was
passed to continue the prohi-
bition of creating plastic guns.
It has been extended for an-
other 10 years to help protect
people. This act was created
to make the manufacturing,
import, selling, shipping, de-
livering, possession, transfer,
or reception of a rearm not
detectable by a walk-through
metal detector illegal. This is
due to the frequent occurrence
of mass shootings in the coun-
try and trying to prevent them.
Shootings such as Sandy
Hook Elementary in Decem-
ber of 2012, Aurora, Colora-
do in July of 2012, and other
shootings. I agree that this ban
needed to be renewed to help
prevent these shootings, but
this act did not stop the pre-
viously mentioned shootings
from occurring. A Bushmas-
ter M4 Type Carbine and a
Glock 20SF were used in the
Sandy Hook shooting which
are metal guns and wouldnt
be affected by this act.
Although the ban didnt
help the previously mentioned
shootings, it can prevent fu-
ture ones. This is the ultimate
goal since the past cannot be
changed but the future can
be. Congress is trying to keep
metal detectors effective when
it comes to nding rearms on
people. While this prohibition
placed on rearms does help
to keep people safer and helps
to keep the Second Amend-
ment guaranteed to the peo-
ple, it doesnt prevent the ma-
jority of shootings that could
occur with metal guns.
This act is an attempt from
Congress to make the country
and the people of the country
safer inside. Fully automatic
rearms are already illegal
as well as background checks
being mandatory for anyone
purchasing a gun. The next
possible step could be to have
periodic checks on gun pur-
chasers and have a deeper
background check to make
sure the purchaser can handle
a rearm.

Memorial Day is a time to
honor those men and women
who fought bravely and made
the greatest sacrice one can
make to defend liberty - their
lives.
Too often, we take for
granted the ideals for which
our ancestors fought. It may
be easy to forget because
only 6 percent of Americans
younger than 65 have served
in uniform.
We must constantly remind
ourselves that freedom isnt
free. It shouldnt be an incon-
venience for us to take a few
minutes on Monday to honor
those veterans.
In all, more than 1.2 mil-
lion Americans have died in
wars since our country was
founded. Millions more were
injured. They were the sons
and daughters, grand-chil-
dren, cousins, nieces, nephews
and parents of tens of millions
of people.
Who will remember those
who gave the last full measure
of devotion to the cause of jus-
tice, freedom and democracy
if not those who live under the
protection of these great prin-
ciples?
While Memorial Day is for
veterans of all wars, we are
paying special tribute to the
men and women, mostly in
their 80s and 90s, who served
in World War II more than 70
years ago.
In short order, the special
tributes will fall to veterans
of the Korean War and to the
Viet Nam War. As these noble
warriors march quietly into
eternity, they dont ask for
your praises, they only ask to
be remembered.
World War II was about
more than the maps, dates and
places taught in schools today:
- It was about the 17-year-
old boys nearly freezing to
death in a foxhole and awak-
ening to hear the rumble of
tanks as a massive German
offensive began.
- It was about praying that
your plane, perforated by ene-
my bullets and shrapnel, could
somehow limp across the
vastness of the Pacic Ocean
to safety.
- It was about overcoming
gut-wrenching fear to charge
a machine-gun bunker after
watching its fanatical defend-
ers massacre your comrades.
- And it was about search-
ing among the dead for your
closest friend and wondering
Why him and not me?
They were ordinary men
and women, many of them just
children, thrust into extraor-
dinary circumstances. They
bore the burden of defending
freedom and our way of life,
not just for us but also for most
of the world.
They did it for their coun-
try, they did it for their ideals,
and they did it for their buddy
in the next foxhole. And thank
God for us they did it so well.
Today, we have the best-
trained, best-equipped ght-
ing forces in the world. The
free world looks to America
to police the world and protect
them from evil forces.
As weve learned the last
15 years, massive power alone
will not win the war. It still
takes men and women will-
ing to put their lives in danger.
They deserve our unwavering
support and gratitude.
And should they become a
casualty in the battle for free-
dom, they too should be re-
membered on Memorial Day.
According to informa-
tion from the American
Battle Monuments Commis-
sion (ABMC), an indepen-
dent branch of the Executive
Branch of the federal govern-
ment, there are 124,909 U.S.
war dead interred at cemeter-
ies on foreign soil.
There are 30,921 from
WWI, 93,238 from WWII and
750 from the Mexican War.
Additionally, 6,177 American
veterans and others are in-
terred in the Mexico City and
Corozal American Cemeter-
ies.
Its interesting to note, at
the Netherlands American
Cemetery and Memorial in
Margraten, Belgium, the 8,301
graves of American soldiers
have been adopted by a Dutch
citizen. Each year, approxi-
mately 30,000 people come to
participate in ceremonies.
VETERANS/A9
May 21, 2014. Mark that
date on your calendar it could
be the low water mark in Van
Wert County history, the point
where real change began. This
past Wednesday, Ohios Board
of Regents designated North-
west State as the community
college provider for Van Wert
County.
Whats so signicant about
that, you ask? Northwest State
has been in the county for years
now. Whats signicant is that it
clears the way for that institution
to begin making real investment
in our county. Prior to Wednes-
day, Van Wert County was one
of the few undesignated counties
in the entire state. Although some
institutions, including Northwest
State, tested our waters with a
smattering of courses, no one was
willing to make a full-edged
commitment.
Northwest State being des-
ignated as the provider keeps
other colleges from swooping
in and undercutting any suc-
cess it might develop here. If
it demonstrates a protable
market, without a designation,
others could come and start of-
fering the same courses. I know,
it sounds like a monopoly,
which normally isnt good. In
the world of higher education,
though, its what allows a com-
munity college some security to
invest.
Now, when I ran for com-
missioner, I wanted a branch
campus, not a community col-
lege. I have since changed my
mind. This is better, and for al-
most every reason. In the Lima
News just last weekend there
was an article about how en-
rollment is down at every Ohio
State branch in the state, drop-
ping 20% since 2009. Limas
branch is down 28% in that
span. This is, no doubt, more
than partially attributable to the
options now available at UNOH
in Lima. But branch campuses
are receding because commu-
nity colleges can now do what
they used to do and more and
cheaper.
In the past, branch colleges
offered affordable, transfer-
rable college credits close to
home. That can now be ac-
complished at community
colleges. Ive written in past
columns about TAG (Transfer
Assurance Guarantee) classes.
You spend more than half your
time at a major campus get-
ting the liberal arts taken care
of for that bachelors degree
math, science, social studies,
history, etc. Now these classes
can be taken at a community
college and they are required
by law to be accepted at any
Ohio institution.
Further, community colleg-
es can offer certicate cours-
es. Not everyone needs a four-
year degree. Many employers
just need someone that has a
rudimentary understanding
of computers, electronics, or
industrial maintenance. The
jobs of the future are going to
require an education, but not
necessarily abstract thinking
about Napoleons mistakes
at Waterloo or the Theory of
Relativity.
Northwest State can bring
any of the outlying benets
of bigger institutions through
partnering. According to Mari
Yoder, its Vice President for
Institutional Advancement, that
is something Northwest State
already does and will look to
do more. For example, it offers
a plastics program with the Uni-
versity of Toledo and bachelors
degrees and MBAs with Bluff-
ton University. Yoder says the
programs at community col-
leges evolve around the needs
of the community.
Our welding program was
shrinking for years until six or
seven years ago when a com-
pany located in Hicksville that
needed a lot of welders. Then
some other companies came
along needing welders and now
thats a big program we offer
again.
A local example is a pro-
gram on windmill maintenance
Northwest State is working on
in a partnership with Vantage.
It also already partners with
Wright State on some courses.
Yoder says a consortium with
multiple colleges would not
only be accepted, but sought
out.

CITIZEN WOLFRUM
BY U.S. SENATOR ROB
PORTMAN
Over the last couple of weeks,
something remarkable happened
in Washington. Congress passed
a bill, and the President signed it.
That we were able to see the Dig-
ital Accountability and Trans-
parency Act (DATA Act) break
through partisan gridlock and
become law speaks to what this
legislation can accomplish for the
American people.
The DATA Act was the result
of a bipartisan, bicameral effort
to signicantly upgrade the scal
transparency provided by USASpending.gov. Even in todays
information age, nding out how the government spends our
taxpayer dollars is not as easy as it should be. The DATA Act
will shine a light on our governments nances and will help
us to weed out wasteful and abusive spending, a necessity at a
time of record debts and decits.
The DATA Act builds on what we have learned since Con-
gress passed the Federal Funding Accountability and Trans-
parency Act in 2006, a piece of legislation I was tasked with
implementing as Director of the Ofce of Management and
Budget (OMB). The DATA Act makes it easier to compare
federal spending across federal agencies by requiring the es-
tablishment of government-wide nancial data standards. It
also strengthens transparency by requiring agencies to supply
monthly updates to USASpending.gov and increases the qual-
ity of that data by adhering to uniform standards that promote
consistency and reliability. Critically, the DATA Act empowers
agency Inspectors General and the Government Accountability
Ofce to hold agencies accountable for the completeness, time-
liness, quality, and accuracy of the data they submit to USAS-
pending.gov.
Of course, now that we have passed the DATA Act, we
must remain vigilant in ensuring that it is fully implemented.
The DATA Act gives the Treasury Department and OMB 12
months to craft new data standards that are uniform, exible,
and adaptable the necessary inputs to allow the system to
function. I am sure there will be setbacks. But that is why we
have to start thinking about these issues now. If we fail at this
rst step, a great many of the DATA Acts potential benets
will be delayed or perhaps lost all together.
The DATA Act is not the solution to all that ails us and it
wont, on its own, solve all of our scal problems, but it is a
good step in the right direction. The debates we have about
spending are some of the most contentious we see in Washing-
ton, but they are also some of the most important. The debt we
are building today is a legacy and a burden that we will leave to
our children and our grandchildren. The debate about how to
pay down that debt and restore scal sanity to our government
is one that will continue into the future.
But those ghts are for another day. The DATA Act proves
that we can nd agreement on at least one issue: the last thing
we want to see is more money wasted that could be applied to
our debt or that could pay for programs that we do need. This
bipartisan legislation will help us get there.
The DATA Act:
A win for the
American People

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-
Busting Material Into Miracle Socks
for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
PAD ADVERTSEMENT
What part of your swollen, tired,
or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circula-
tion, injury, swelling or any condi-
tion 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-boost-
ing sock, called Bambusa
TM
.
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 Bambusa
TM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in con-
tact 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 re-
vitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the ma-
terial provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, ath-
letes,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 fa-
tigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were pho-
tographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemus-
cle 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. In-
frared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circula-
tory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed re-
covery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.
"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 cel-
lular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and rec-
ommend 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 exag-
geration the relief was almost in-
stantaneous. 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
Bambusa
TM
socks are not a med-
ical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negative-
anion 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
Bambusa
TM
socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. Bam-
busa
TM
socks can also bring com-
fort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing indi-
viduals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persist-
ent foot problems for years and no-
ticed 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 pain-
free 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
York.
BENEFITS:
Increased blood flow and
oxygen
Reduced swelling and pain
Anti-microbial
Wicks away moisture
Increased range of motion
IDEALFOR:
Neuropathy
Raynaud's Syndrome
Cramping
Cold Feet
Tom from NJ reports, I suffer
from chronic foot cramps. My feet
were sore for days after the cramp-
ing. My wife gave me the Bam-
busa
TM
socks, I wore them, and the
foot cramps stopped. I replaced all
my socks with Bambusa

. My
feet feel great now.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo in-
crease 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 com-

NEW YORK (AP) Visa and MasterCard are renew-
ing a push to speed the adoption of microchips into U.S.
credit and debit cards in the wake of recent high-prole data
breaches, including this weeks revelation that hackers stole
consumer data from eBays computer systems.
Card processing companies argue that a move away from
the black magnetic strips on the backs of credit cards would
eliminate a substantial amount of U.S. credit card fraud.
They say its time to offer U.S. consumers the greater pro-
tections microchips provide by joining Canada, Mexico and
most of Western Europe in using cards with the more ad-
vanced technology.
Chips arent perfect, says Carolyn Balfany, MasterCards
group head for U.S. product delivery, but the extra barrier
they present is one of the reasons criminals often choose to
target U.S.-issued cards, whose magnetic strips are easy to
replicate.
Typically, fraudsters are going to go to the path of least
resistance, Balfany says.
The chip technology hasnt been adopted in the U.S.
because of costs and disputes over how the network would
operate. Retailers have long balked at paying for new cash
registers and back ofce systems to handle the new cards.
There have been clashes between retailers, card issuers and
processors over which processing networks will get access to
the new system and whether to stick with a signature-based
system or move to one that requires a personal identication
number instead. These technical decisions impact how much
retailers and customers have to pay and how much credit
card issuers make each time a card is used.
The disputes have now largely been resolved. And the
epic breach of Targets computer systems in December,
which involved the theft of 40 million debit and credit card
numbers, along with smaller breaches at companies such as
Neiman Marcus and Michaels, helped garner support for
chip-based cards among retailers who were previously put
off by the costs.
Chip cards are safer, argue supporters, because unlike
magnetic strip cards that transfer a credit card number when
they are swiped at a point-of-sale terminal, chip cards use a
one-time code that moves between the chip and the retailers
register. The result is a transfer of data that is useless to any-
one except the parties involved. Chip cards, say experts, are
also nearly impossible to copy.
STORY OF THE DAY
Visa, MasterCard
renew push for
chip cards

Associated Press
McALLEN, Texas (AP) A shift
by immigrant smugglers to target the
tough-to-defend U.S.-Mexico border
in southernmost Texas has accelerated
this year as the Border Patrol scram-
bles to shift its resources from states
farther west, according to an internal
agency report obtained by The Associ-
ated Press.
From Oct. 1 through May 17, agents
in the southernmost tip of Texas made
more than 148,000 arrests, on pace
to match last years total in less than
eight months, according to the intel-
ligence report. That compares with
nearly 63,000 arrests in the Tucson,
Arizona, sector, which it surpassed
for the rst time just last year. The Rio
Grande Valley sector averaged nearly
1,100 arrests per day from May 11-17,
according to the document.
What these numbers look like on
the ground is a near-constant ow of
people across the Rio Grande. The
arrests do not represent the full level
of trafc, only those who are caught,
but the reports hourly breakdowns
showed the arrests never stopped. Heat
maps illustrating concentrations of ar-
rests glowed bright red along miles of
the Rio Grande south of McAllen.
I dont think we have anywhere
near the resources that we would re-
quire to even make a dent in what
weve got going on here, said Chris
Cabrera, a Border Patrol agent in
McAllen and local vice president of
the agents union. I think its com-
mon knowledge that we dont have the
resources, thats why theyre coming
in droves like they are. Theyre ex-
ploiting a weakness that theyve found
and quite frankly theyre doing a good
job of it.
When a delegation of state agricul-
ture commissioners from around the
country visited the McAllen Border
Patrol station Wednesday, they were
told about 1,400 arrests were made
the night before. They saw more than
1,000 immigrants, many mothers with
infants or solo teenagers, being held in
spaces intended to accommodate only
a fraction of that.
In a statement Friday, Department
of Homeland Security spokeswoman
Marsha Catron addressed the govern-
ments efforts to deal with unaccom-
panied children, who have contributed
to the crowded conditions at Border
Patrol stations and overwhelmed
available shelter space. Last week, the
government announced it would once
again temporarily house as many as
1,000 of the children at a San Antonio
Air Force base. DHS has designated
someone to coordinate efforts, sent ad-
ditional senior staff to the region and
expanded awareness campaigns in the
immigrants home countries.
Last month, at the McAllen sta-
tion to welcome a new group of tem-
porarily assigned agents, the sectors
Deputy Chief Raul Ortiz said he and
the new chief were talking a lot about
staff levels.
We do plan to bring on additional
agents, Ortiz said. Our plan is to cer-
tainly increase the stafng commensu-
rate with the threat level down here.
The Border Patrol has been trying
to beef up its resources in the area for
more than a year. Most new academy
graduates come straight to Texas, and
115 agents from sectors elsewhere in
Texas as well as Arizona and Cali-
fornia have been temporarily detailed
here. At the end of the last scal year,
the Tucson sector had 1,049 more
agents than the Rio Grande Valley.
Shift of illegal crossings into Texas accelerates
DETROIT (AP) When
they pull up to a gas station
these days, Detroit drivers are
looking beyond the price per
gallon at a far more threatening
concern: carjackers.
The armed auto thieves have
become so common here that
parts of the bankrupt metropo-
lis are referred to as Carjack
City, and many motorists fear
getting out of their vehicles
even for a few moments to ll
a tank.
So gas stations are taking
steps to protect customers, and
the city has formed a special
police team to go after suspects.
Convicted carjackers will even
get their faces and prison sen-
tences plastered onto billboards.
You need to catch these
people and make a good exam-
ple of them, said Mousa Bazzi,
who owns a Mobil station in a
semi-desolate neighborhood
bordering Detroits east river-
front. He keeps his business
well-lit and continually has two
to four employees inside to en-
sure theres always an extra
hand or two in case of trouble.
Authorities blame many of
the carjackings, ironically, on
improvements in vehicle secu-
rity. Anti-theft equipment, GPS
systems and advanced locks
now prevent many vehicles
from being driven without a key
in the ignition.
That makes it difcult or
impossible for thieves to steal
parked cars, leading them to
target vehicles that are occu-
pied, said Jonathan Parnell, of
Detroits auto-theft squad.
Also contributing to the
thefts is a strong demand for
stolen wheels and tires, police
said.
Bazzis station displays
pale-green decals depicting
a lighthouse a sign that his
business has joined the citys
anti-carjacking effort. To be
part of the program, stations
must have security cameras,
good lighting, be open 24 hours
and have clerks willing to help
motorists and provide a phone
for emergency calls.
There is a waiting list, Sgt.
Michael Woody said. We have
so many gas stations that want
to become a lighthouse. You get
better protection with that big
sticker in the window that tells
criminals there is proper equip-
ment that will help police inves-
tigate these crimes.
Detroit police reported 720
carjackings last year in the city
of fewer than 700,000 people.
Thats down from nearly 850 in
2011 and 1,231 in 2008.
The decline may partly
be due to Detroits freefall-
ing population, but the thefts
still exceed the carjackings in
some comparably sized U.S.
cities.

The disarray surrounding
lethal injection in the U.S. is
beginning to steer states back
toward methods of execu-
tion that many had long ago
deemed less humane than the
needle.
Tennessee jumped out
front this week with a law that
could essentially bring back
the electric chair. Elsewhere
around the country, lawmak-
ers have been talking about re-
viving the ring squad and the
gas chamber, methods largely
abandoned a generation ago.
The reason: Lethal injec-
tion the primary means
of execution in all 32 states
with capital punishment is
under re as never before be-
cause of botched executions,
drug shortages caused by a
European-led boycott, and a
urry of lawsuits over the new
chemicals that states are using
instead.
The Tennessee legislation
signed into law by Republican
Gov. Bill Haslam on Thurs-
day would allow the state to
use electrocution against any
current or future death row in-
mate if lethal injection drugs
become unavailable.
States look
to past for
execution

WASHINGTON (AP)
President Barack Obama cel-
ebrated when sign-ups for his
health care law topped 8 mil-
lion, far exceeding expecta-
tions after a slipshod launch.
Most Americans, however,
remain unimpressed.
A new Associated Press-
GfK poll nds that public
opinion continues to run deep-
ly negative on the Affordable
Care Act, Obamas signature
effort to cover the uninsured.
Forty-three percent oppose
the law, compared with just 28
percent in support.
The pattern illustrates why
the health care law remains a
favored target for Republicans
seeking a Senate majority in
the midterm elections.
The poll does have a bright
spot for the administration:
Those who signed up for cover-
age arent reeling from sticker
shock. Most said they found
premiums in line with what
they expected, or even lower.
But even that was dimin-
ished by another nding:
More than one-third of those
who said they or someone in
their household tried to enroll,
were ultimately unable to do
so. For the White House, its
an uncomfortable reminder
of the technical problems that
paralyzed the HealthCare.gov
website for weeks after it went
live last fall.
The example of business
owner Henry Kulik shows
some of the cross-currents of
public opinion.
Kulik is disabled as a re-
sult of Lou Gehrigs disease,
a condition that destroys
the brains ability to control
muscle movement. His family
runs several stores that sell ice
cream and other summer re-
freshments in the Philadelphia
area.
Kulik says he doesnt be-
lieve the federal government
should require people to carry
health insurance, as the law
does. And he can understand
worries about the cost to tax-
payers. On the other hand, hes
been able to slash what his
family pays for health insur-
ance by purchasing coverage
through the laws new insur-
ance markets and by taking
advantage of tax credits to
lower the premiums.
Before the law, his family
was paying $2,400 a month.
Now its several hundred dol-
lars. And Kulik says the insur-
ance for himself, his wife, and
three children is comparable
to what they had before.
I think there is a lot of
misinformation, he says.
Obamas health care law
offers subsidized private cov-
erage to middle-class people
who have no health plan on
the job, and it expands Med-
icaid to pick up low-income
uninsured adults. But last
falls launch of new health
insurance markets was para-
lyzed technical problems. The
debacle contributed to the
departure of health secretary
Kathleen Sebelius.
After Congress approved the
law in 2010, a political backlash
over its Medicare cuts, tax in-
creases and new regulations
helped Republicans win the
House. This fall the GOP is fol-
lowing a similar strategy with
the Senate at stake.
Republicans hold an ad-
vantage on this issue among
people who feel strongly about
it, said Robert Blendon of
the Harvard School of Public
Health, who follows opinion
trends on health care.
Still, just 17 percent of poll
respondents said the law will
be completely repealed. While
that represents an increase
of 5 percentage points from
March, the poll found that
67 percent believe the health
law will be implemented with
changes, whether major or su-
percial.

The Obama administration celebrated when sign-
ups for the health care law crossed the 8-million
mark after a stumbling start. But most Americans
are unimpressed. A new Associated Press-GfK poll
nds that public opinion remains deeply negative.
One bright spot: Most of those who signed up say
premiums are about what they expected, or lower.

DEAR ABBY: Im 16 and
entering my junior year of
high school. My boyfriend,
Jonah, and I have been dat-
ing for almost a year and we
would like to become sexually
active, but Im scared con-
doms wont cut it. I have tried
talking to my mom about it,
but she doesnt think I should
go on birth control.
Abby, Im just trying to
keep the risk of getting preg-
nant as low as possible. Im
not sure my mom understands
that. What should I do? I know
for sure my mother will nd
out if I go to my doctor and
talk privately about this with
her. Please help me because
Im just trying to protect my-
self. PRACTICAL TEEN
IN NEW YORK
DEAR PRACTICAL
TEEN: You appear to be a
levelheaded young woman
who is trying to make mature
decisions. Discussing sex with
parents can be difcult
not only for you, but also for
them. If you are willing to talk
about this with your mother
again, try using a magazine, a
TV show or my column as a
jumping-off point to start the
conversation. Sometimes it
may take more than one talk
to feel comfortable disclosing
your personal feelings and in-
tentions.
You should be able to get
condential health services
from your doctor or another
health care provider. Depend-
ing upon where you live, how-
ever, parental permission may
be needed. You will have to
check to nd out.
In terms of birth control
methods, hormonal birth con-
trol is effective when used
correctly. But using hormonal
birth control and a condom
TOGETHER offers the best
protection from both pregnan-
cy and sexually transmitted
diseases.
For many years, I have
recommended Planned Par-
enthood (plannedparenthood.
org) for reproductive health
services, which include in-
formation, contraception,
testing and education about
a full range of options for
women, men and teens across
the United States. Its services
are condential and comply
with relevant laws, which may
vary from state to state. Some
Planned Parenthood centers
scale their charges according
to income, and most accept
health insurance. Your local
Planned Parenthood health
center can give you specic
information about costs and
policies. If you qualify, Med-
icaid or other state programs
may lower the costs.

DEAR ABBY: Do you
think its bad that my two girls
dont see their father? I dont
keep them from him. Hes
welcome to see them, but he is
now remarried and has never

To be honest, the girls dont
even talk about him anymore.
Is it OK to let them go on
with their lives with the fam-
ily members who are in it?
NEW MEXICO MOMMY
DEAR NEW MEXICO
MOMMY: Its sad that your
daughters have no relationship
with their father. However, be-
cause he has shown no interest
in having one with them, you
have no option but to let them
go on with their lives. The
question that comes to mind
is, has he been supporting the
girls nancially? If the answer
is no, you should have gotten a
lawyer involved 10 years ago.

Teen initiates the talk, but mom opts to dodge it
Dear Readers: Most of us
have a rst-aid kit handy in
case of an emergency, but what about a pet rst-aid kit? Here
are some things to have on hand for your pet:
* Dishwashing detergent for bathing.
* Articial tears to use after ushing eyes.
* Hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting.
* A syringe or turkey baster for the hydrogen peroxide.
* A can of wet food or tuna.
* Rubber or latex gloves.
* Triple antibiotic ointment.
Always keep your veterinarians or an emergency pet clin-
ics phone number handy, and contact one of them before ad-
ministering any medication yourself. If your pet has a wound,
bandage as best you can to protect it, and seek medical atten-
tion. Heloise

CLEAN VENTS
Dear Heloise: Do you have a hint for cleaning bathroom
vents and exhaust fans? Julie L. in Oregon
I do, and because these often-neglected places can get dust
buildup that (in extreme cases) can cause res, you denitely
want to keep them clean! Start by turning off the electricity to
the bathroom vent/exhaust fan that you plan on cleaning. After
removing the cover, soak it in a sink lled with warm water
and dish detergent. While the vent soaks, take your vacuum
(with attachment) and clean inside the vent. If it is an exhaust
fan, wipe the blades with a damp cloth. Clean the motor and
anything else up in the ceiling space using an old toothbrush
or paintbrush. Dont forget to dust the inside walls, too. Scrub
the vent cover, and dry completely, before hanging it up again.

LETTER OF THOUGHT
Dear Heloise: Along with living life efciently comes living
life safely. Scarves are the rage now, not only among women,
but also little girls. My granddaughters, ages 5, 6 and 10, are
wearing scarves. They look so cute, but something didnt sit
right with me, and then I remembered little kids getting hung
up on playground equipment with the ties on their sweatshirts
and jackets. Please think about this when your little girls are
playing outside. Our fashion is fun, but it needs to be safe, too!
Donna in Indiana
Donna, how right you are! There is a time and a place for
everything. Scarves are cute, but if you know that your little
one will be playing outside, remove them. Better be safe than
sorry. Heloise

Discussion turned to lining up speakers
for the programs during the meeting and
the amount of money to charge members
attending the meeting. Joan Geise said the
Regional Director is responsible for setting
up all the programs.
Its very generous for the church to do
the meals, Jester said. If we set the price at
$10-12, any money left over can be donated
to the church.
That may cover the janitorial (cleanup)
costs plus the meal, Rhoads said.
Club member Jean Best agreed with
Jester.
Not all communities have groups of
church ladies willing to produce a meal for
events such as this, Best explained.
Jester said the 2014 Allen County Fair
Flower Show is also coming up and this year
the Lima Garden Club is the lead club. She
explained that the Green Thumbs will be
sharing the responsibilities of hosting with
Happy Hours and in charge of take down
cleanup of the tables and washing ower
vases in preparation of next years fair.
We also have the Christmas tree Festi-
val at the Canal Commission Museum, she
said. I thought we should decide on a color
scheme for the tree.
Discussions led to members deciding to
keep the same gardening theme with min-
iature pots and watering cans and adding
more colorful dried owers Statice, Hy-
drangea and Babys Breath to the tree.
Member Laura Roach lled in for the
absent Secretary/Treasurer Karen Hart and
gave the treasury report on the clubs budget,
which had an ending balance of $520.
In March, club members discussed mak-
ing a donation to the library for a new coffee
pot or some outside landscaping and Jackie
Fritz volunteered to speak with the board.
Jester reported that Fritz spoke with library
board members about the donation who said
the contribution would be best utilized for
new landscaping.
After some discussion, a motion was
made and accepted to give the library board
$150 for landscaping needs.
Following the business meeting, the
group headed out to Moxs Nursery
which is celebrating 150 years of business
for a guided tour of the nursery. Mary
Mox explained the businesss start by telling
members the nursery was on the opposite
side of Lincoln Highway and only sold fruit
trees.
She also showed the group of club mem-
bers a few new trees and shrubs available
this year from the nursery including a Twisty
Baby Honeylocust tree and Black Lace El-
derberry shrub. The tour ended with a look
inside Moxs house where members delighted
in the architecture and history of the genera-
tions of family members who lived there.
The next club meeting will be held at
11:30 a.m. on June 16 in the librarys new

What used to be called dual
enrollment and post second-
ary education is morphing into
something called College Cred-
it Plus. The larger presence of
Northwest State locally can al-
low something like Becca Gear,
a Patrick Henry senior who will
graduate soon. Gear, recently
featured in the Deance Cres-
cent News, took classes through
Northwest State while in high
school. She will start school
next fall at Ohio State Universi-
tys main campus as a junior.
After taking the College
Credit Plus courses in high
school, Gear has an associ-
ates degree and the rst two
years of college completed.
Her cost for completing those
two years of college in high
school: $2,000 for the courses
she took through the summer
(classes during the school year
are generally free.) Those two
years at Ohio State main cam-
pus: around $50,000. Thats
real money bro.
At Northwest State, the cost
of a credit hour is $146. Ac-
cording to Yoder, the cheapest
rate youll nd at a university
is somewhere closer to $300.
Even if you dont get it done
in high school as Becca Gear
did, you can better afford it
close to home at any point in
your life.

According to an article by Judy Miller
for an Encyclopedia Britannica blog, the
purpose of adopting graves extends be-
yond simply taking care of the physical
grave site. Citizens do research about
each soldiers death and even contact sur-
viving families in the U.S.
The cemetery in Margraten includes
65.5 acres of farmland that the Nether-
lands allow the U.S. to use at no charge.
It was established on Nov. 10, 1944, by
the U.S. Ninth Army, it was one of the
rst to be used for interment of American
soldiers who were killed on German soil.
The site was liberated on Sept. 13,
1944, by the U.S. First Army. Today, it is
one of 24 cemeteries on foreign soil that
are administered, operated and main-
tained by the ABMC.
According to Peter Schroyen, a Dutch
citizen who adopted the grave of Wil-
liam Dukeman, Jr., the only U.S. soldier
killed in the Battle of the Crossroads, he
got interested in the program when the
story was depicted in the movie Band of
Brothers.
He asked to adopt Dukemans grave,
but it was already taken. Two years later,
the person caring for the grave passed
away and Schroyen got the call. He has
since visited with Dukemans surviv-
ing relatives in Denver, CO. He carries
Dukemans Army photo with him and
places it in front of the cross when visit-
ing the grave.
There is a beautiful chapel and reect-
ing pool at the cemetery. About 600,000
visitors visit the cemetery each year,
with 40 percent of them school children.
Schroyen says, Its very important we
bring school kids. Someone has to take
over our place. Were very grateful to
these soldiers who gave us our freedom.

LINDBERGH
(From page A5)
Lindbergh tested his struts,
and went over his plane careful-
ly, and the watchers increased
to over 3,000. As soon as the
gas was aboard he climbed to
his place, and the engine roared.
After a few minutes of warming
up, Lindbergh turned to his me-
chanics and waved that he was
about to take-off.
As he gave it the gun, he
smiled calmly at the excited
crowds, waved to Byrd and other
friends and roared on his way.
The ier took off in the
very worst of eld conditions.
The runaway was muddy and
bumpy. As the Spirit of St.
Louis started on its journey,
it careened from side to side
slightly, giving mechanics and
ofcials a moment of intense
anxiety. Then as it picked up
speed it steadied.
But he cant take off at
that speed, hes going to slow,
yelled a mechanic. Why
doesnt he stop?
Lindbergh was on his way,
however, and nothing was going
to prevent him from continuing.
The silver monoplane bumped
along, bouncing on the muddy
runway as it picked up, and it
was almost a mile down the eld
before it nally got into the air.
A few moments later noth-
ing was left, the plane having
swiftly sped into the mists,
straight out toward Montauk
Point and the long lonely miles
of the Atlantic.
For a few minutes the roar of
the engine could be heard and
then there was nothing. Dare
Devil Lindbergh was truly on
his way.

Many Attend Program

at Wills School
The Wills school, about a mile southwest
of Delphos, was lled to capacity Friday
evening when the pupils of the school, under
the direction of teacher, Marie Hageman,
rendered a delightful Christmas program.
The program consisted of holiday read-
ings, songs and playlets, the children per-
forming in an efcient manner. The work of
the children took much practice and excel-
lent management on the part of the teacher.
Monsignor Rupert was among those
present, and at the close, spoke briey, com-
plimenting both the pupils and their teacher.
Santa Claus visited the school during the
evening, distributing gifts and candy to the
children. Miss Hageman received a number
of beautiful and useful gifts from the chil-
dren and their parents.
The school was attractively decorated for
the occasion. A handsome Christmas tree
was the feature decoration.

The Metzger block, Second and Main

heirs, was the scene of a re, Sunday after-
noon which caused considerable damage,
and which gave the appearance of develop-
ing into a major blaze.
The re occurred on the east side of the

house to have been due to defective wiring.
The re was discovered by a family mem-

A number of boys had erected a small
house in a tree in the yard at the home of
Wm. Dienstberger. The house was built
about thirty feet above ground and approach
to it was by means of a ladder.
Some of the lads were engaged Sunday
in heating a lard can on a stove. The can

Commander Byrd Carries

Flag Further North
Commander Richard Byrd and his South
polar expedition, has reached the rst objec-
tive in its trip to the bottom of the world.
The great ice barrier across Ross Sea,
the gate-way to the South Pole, was sight-
ed Christmas Day and the expedition had
reached a point, 2,100 miles from the last
outposts of civilization.
Commander Byrd sent the following
message to Secretary of the Navy Curtis
Wilber:
We have reached today, the great myste-
rious ice barrier. It presents to us an ice cliff,
higher than the mast of the ship. On this
Christmas Day, we are thankful and proud
to report that we have been able to carry
the American ag, several hundred miles
farther south than it has ever been and it
seemed tting that an airplane should reach
its farthermost point, south on Christmas
Day.

GEHR
(From page A1)
He said when he arrived back to Delphos, ev-
erybody asked how he was and it seemed every-
one knows everyone.
After returning to California, Gehr said hes
been overwhelmed with medical appointments.
I just wanted to be left alone and see my fam-
ily, he added. It was scary.
Now, his wife Kaitlyn and newest member
of the family, Logan, a Yorkie Terrier, are living
with him in California.
Gehr said he would like to fulll his dreams
and make a career in the Marines as a drill in-
structor and receive his bachelors in Accounting,
which may take 8-10 years.
Id like to do 20 years on the enlisted side
and 20 years on the ofcers side, he added. It
all depends on the economy and job availability.
Gehr joined the Marines in May of 2012 and
spent three months at Paris Island, South Caroli-
na, in boot camp and then attended Marine Com-
bat Training (MCT) in North Carolina learning
how to perform patrols and use weaponry like
machine guns. Following his MCT, Gehr spent
ve months training as a generator mechanic and
graduated in February 2013.
I wanted to be a part of something elite and
be a part of a proud ghting force, Gehr added.
Less than one percent earn the title.
From there he met up with the 1st Mainte-
nance Battalion in California and was deployed
to Afghanistan to help Georgians with retro-
grading equipment, patrolling and providing se-
curity for the Afghan people.
When stationed in Afghanistan, we lived off
the land with the bare minimum to survive, he
detailed. Thats what we are trained to do; be
mobile.
ZEIGLER
(From page A1)
I wanted to complete my
service so I could go to law
school, said Zeigler, who
served for one year, 10 months
and 18 days. I doubt it if I
could have gone to law school
without the GI Bill.
While in Alaska, Zeigler
married Carolyn Drury. When
she became pregnant, Zeigler
and Carolyn were sent home
early because conditions were
not considered safe for her to
deliver the child in Alaska.
Eventually, Zeigler was dis-
charged from Fort Sheridan,
the same place where he had
entered his years of service.
He was relieved from active
military service on May 4,
1954.
Following his release, Zei-
gler resumed his educational
goal by attending law school
at Ohio State University.
There he received his Doctor
of Jurisprudence degree in law
practice.
Zeigler was quickly ush-
ered into prominence in his
law practice. He served as as-
sistant attorney general under
William ONeill, who earlier
had been the youngest speaker
house in Ohio history. Zeigler
served as assistant attorney
general for six months until he
helped ONeill become elect-
ed governor of Ohio in 1956.
Eventually, Zeigler re-
turned to Van Wert where
he practiced law for over 40
years. He retired when he was
69 years-old, but his wife of
39 years, Jeanne, continues to
serve in the County Board of
Elections ofce in Van Wert.
This year has proven to be
a challenging year for Zei-
gler, but his positive spirit of
survival enabled him to have
a solid recovery following
the replacement of two valves
in his heart at the Cleveland
Clinic in February.
I went to Lutheran Hospi-
tal and they referred me to the
Cleveland Clinic, said Zei-
gler. There I was fortunate
to be treated by a doctor who
does valve replacement and
repair work. When I look
back at all I went through now,
I feel like my surgery and re-
covery have been their own
miracle, continued Zeigler.
Zeigler looks back to his
military service these days
and is grateful for all he
gained during that time.
I feel like I learned a lot,
like I gained from a lot of ex-
periences, Zeigler said. It
was disruptive to furthering
my education, but I enjoyed it.
I love all of the good memo-
ries I have from those days.

SCOUT
(From page A1)
There were a lot of graves at Westside Cem-
etery that were either unmarked entirely without
headstones and ones that had headstones but no
military markers, Curth said. They provided
me with a list and I got started.
The roster included 178 names which the
Scout rst organized by sections in the cemetery
and then alphabetically. Then he enlisted the help
of fellow Scouts to mark the graves and join the
Veterans Council for ag placement the week
prior to Memorial Day. Through his efforts, 150
of the 178 graves now have their proper military
markers and U.S. ags now y beside them.
I think its important to give the proper re-
spect to our deceased veterans who helped de-
fend our country, Curth added.
While many Scouts wait until closer to the
age of 18 to nd and complete their Eagle Scout
projects, the son of Mike and Alice Curth didnt
see why he should wait.
There was no reason for me to wait, he said.
Id rather get it done.
Curth also has the required 21 badges for his
Eagle Scout award.
His father and another brother, Aaron, are
also Eagle Scouts.
When hes not walking around in cemeteries,
Curth enjoys playing board games with his fam-
ily, going to museums and enjoying the natural
wonders of the United States like Niagara Falls.
Hes also a big OSU fan and likes to watch Big
Bang Theory and Marvel Agents of Shield.
He and his family attend the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints in Lima, which also
sponsors his Boy Scout program.
RODE
(From page A1)
Once he met the challenge
from his sibling he was a cook
and MP before another oppor-
tunity arose. When Rode was
station at Camp Lejeune in
North Carolina, he was called
to the main ofce and asked
if he would be willing to go to
Quantico.
I was really surprised,
Rode said. The offer to go to
Quantico was a big deal. I had
to pass a background check
for whatever I was going to do
there.
Rode became a member of the
military police while his clear-
ance paperwork was processed.
I watched prisoners while
they performed community
service, he said. It was a good
job.
Once his paperwork re-
ceived a stamp of approval,
Rode began traveling to the
White House to pick up corre-
spondence and perform other
classied duties.
I was in a special unit,
Rode said. We had to be ready
to pick up and go wherever we
were needed. Id get a phone
call to pack my bags, I was leav-
ing in two days. I wouldnt nd
out where I was going until the
next day when I got my papers.
Rode reached the rank of
Lance Corporal and in March
1971, he became a guard in
Marine Helicopter Squadron
1 (HMX-1), the squadron re-
sponsible for the transportation
of the President of the United
States, Vice President, cabinet
members and other VIPs. A
Marine helicopter which has
the president aboard uses the
call sign Marine One.
Rodes assignment was to
guard the helicopter used to
transport the likes of President
Richard Nixon, Vice President
Spiro Agnew and Henry Kiss-
inger. At the time, Watergate
was still several years away and
Nixon was a celebrated presi-
dent who made unprecedented
steps to improve relations be-
tween the U.S. and China.
Rode said he liked his duties
and if he could have stayed with
it, he would have made a career
of the military.
They switch everyone
around on those duties every
few years, so I knew I wouldnt
be doing it forever, he said.
Momentos from his time in
HMX-1 include a set of rock
glasses with the presidential
seal and Nixons signature,
cigarettes that were available
on Marine one for those who
smoked, and an elegant, velvet-
bound Christmas card from the
Nixons.
I couldnt imagine him
(Nixon) getting into the trouble
he did. Im glad I wasnt there
for that, Rode said. I never
personally spoke with the Presi-
dent but he was always very re-
spectful of us and others around
him.
Rode was discharged in
July 1973 and returned home
to Delphos and started a fam-
ily. He has three children and
three grandchildren and drives
truck for K&M Tire. He and his
wife, Mary, are enjoying being
grandparents.
His time in the service is
something he takes great pride
in and that feeling is shared by
his family and displayed on a
Marine wall in his dining
room. Like many, what he took
from his service to his country
cant be seen or felt by others.
Being in the service makes
you grow up fast and teaches
you a lot, Rode said. You
learn a lot of respect very quick-
ly. Semper Fi.

room of his home. Jim and his family members
have provided the items marking his service to his
country. (dhi MEDIA/Nancy Spencer)

A dry dock is a narrow basin or vessel that can
be ooded to allow a load to be oated in, then
drained to allow that load to come to rest on a dry
platform. They are used for the construction, main-
tenance and repair of ships, boats and watercraft.
Bolenbaugh was stationed at that point for
several months. Once the war was over, he as-
sisted with supply duty, unloading trucks with
items shipped to various places on the base. The
veteran noted common items he assisted in trans-
porting were tankers and guns. At one point, Bo-
lenbaugh was asked if he wanted to sign up for
further duty, but he noted his ofcial document
stated he was signed up for the duration of the
war.
I didnt sign up for additional years; I signed
up for the duration of the war, said Bolenbaugh.
When we got back to San Francisco, they didnt
have any place to put us. Some of us slept on pool
tables. We got back on March 18, 1946, contin-
ued Bolenbaugh. I got married on April 12 of
that year. I was nally discharged on May 18.
Initially, Bolenbaugh worked on a farm and
then at the seed house at the Marsh Foundation.
Eventually, when the postmaster in Ohio City
opted to move to a job in Florida, Bolenbaugh
was selected to ll the spot where he served as
postmaster from 1962 to 1989. Marcile trained
as a nurse in Fort Wayne. She worked for many
years at Van Wert County Hospital and also at
Aeroquip.
Im proud to have served our country and for
the life that Ive lived, said Bolenbaugh. I can
look at myself in the face every day and feel good
about it.

WAPAKONETA It took nine innings to
decide the Division IV district championship
softball game held at Wapakoneta on Friday
night. In a game that matched Crestview and
Minster, it was the Lady Wildcats that ad-
vanced with a 6-5 victory, scoring the game-
winning run on a walk-off illegal pitch.
First of all, thats on me, Crestview head
coach Carl Etzler said following the game.
Thats not on my catcher or my pitcher, thats
on me.
With two out in the bottom of the ninth
and senior Kirstin Hicks in the circle for her
rst inning of work, Etzler called for an inten-
tional walk to load the bases. After the rst
wide one to Minster cleanup hitter Makayla
Guettemoeller, Hicks delivered the second in-
tentional ball, but the home plate umpire ruled
the sequence illegal, which advances all bas-
erunner, meaning Kayla Richard was awarded
home with the game-ending run.
The call, as it was explained, was that Crest-
views catcher stepped outside the catchers
box too early on the intentionally-wide deliv-
ery. It was a shocking way to end an otherwise
classic game between two outstanding teams.
Minster is a team used to blowing out its
opponents. The Lady Wildcats out-scored
their Midwest Athletic Conference foes by a
68-3 margin during the regular year with Rich-
ard being named the MAC Player of the Year.
Richard got the ball for Minster and retired the
Knights in order in the top of the rst.
Crestviews Terra Crowle matched Rich-
ard with a scoreless rst frame, and the Lady
Knights scratched off a run in the second. Left
elder Brady Guest smoked a double into the
left-center eld gap with one away and, two
batters later, came home to score on Tianna
Ragers 2-out single. It was the rst of four
2-out runs the Lady Knights would score in
the contest.
Still trailing 1-0 entering the home half of
the third, Minsters offense went to work on
Crowle. Cathy Prenger dropped a bloop single
into shallow right eld before Richard lined a
ball through the left side and Rachel Heckman
added a bunt single to load the bases with still
nobody out.
Third baseman Marissa Conrad worked a
2-1 count against Crowle, then tattooed a pitch
deep to the right-center eld gap, bringing all
three runners home on her triple. Conrad came
home when the next batter, Guettemoeller, sin-
gled to right to make it 4-1, Wildcats.
Crowle would settle down and escape fur-
ther damage, and proceeded to keep Minster
off the scoreboard in each of the next three
frames, allowing the Lady Knight offense to
chip away.
Crestview came right back with a run in
the fourth, doing so with a rally that followed
a pair of Richard strikeouts. Crowle got the
Knights going with a double to right, and
courtesy runner Sydney Bowen came home to
score on Ragers second hit of the game.
In the sixth, the Lady Knights would pull
even. Guest and Crowle opened the inning with
back-to-back doubles, drawing the Knights to
within 4-3, and Bowen once again ran for the
Crestview pitcher. After a Rager sacrice ad-
vanced Bowen to third, Richard got a ground
ball to the third base bag that froze the runner
as Conrad threw across the diamond for out
number two. Center elder Cora Millay wasted
no time in tying the game, however, jumping
on the rst pitch and hitting a rope into right
eld to score Bowen.
Lady Knights lose 9-inning heart-breaker in district nals

BRYAN Having split
with Hicksville in two regu-
lar season games, Wayne
Trace softball head coach
Jack Baumle knew the Aces
were very capable of causing
the Lady Raiders problems in
Fridays district championship
matchup.
However, the red-white-
and-blue would have no part
of it.
Wayne Trace scored three
times in the second inning
and never trailed as the Lady
Raiders posted a 5-2 win over
their Green Meadows Confer-
ence counterparts to advance
to the Division IV regional
tournament on Wednesday
with a 5 p.m. start.
Wayne Trace, now 20-7
on the season, will take on
New Riegel, an 8-2 winner
over Carey in district action
at Kenton. The Blue Jackets
come into the contest with a
record of 23-4. The other re-
gional seminal on Thursday
will have Patrick Henry (20-
3) against Lakota (18-7) on
Thursday afternoon.
The Lady Raiders dented
the scoreboard with three runs
in the second to take control
of the contest.
After Carley Wright ied
out to start the inning, junior
Addison Baumle singled be-
fore fellow junior Molly Cros-
by followed with a triple that
plated Baumle.
Sydney Critten then
reached on an error to put
runners on the corners, but
the Raiders werent done. Ju-
nior catcher Mackenzie Swary
ripped a 2-run double that
scored both Crosby and Crit-
ten to push the margin to 3-0.
Wayne Trace added to the
advantage in the third. With
two outs, Wright doubled be-
fore a Baumle single scored
Wright for a 4-0 Wayne Trace
lead.
Hicksville did get within
4-2 in the bottom of the in-
ning, scoring a pair of un-
earned runs but the Aces
wouldnt get any closer. The
red-white-and-blue added its
nal run in the fourth.
Following a Critten y out,
Swary, Emilie Linder and
Brenda Feasby hit back-to-
back-to-back singles before
a Libby Stabler sacrice y
plated Swary to push the mar-
gin to 5-2.
From there, the Raiders
shut down the red-and-white
to seal their trip to the region-
al tournament.
Obviously, we are very
pleased with the victory,
noted the Raider mentor. We
knew coming in that Hicks-
ville was a big challenge, but
the girls stepped up their play
tonight and everybody made
plays. We got good balance
offensively, which was good to
see as well. It was a total team
effort tonight.
Addison Baumle picked up
her third straight tournament
victory, running her total to
21 straight innings without al-
lowing an earned run in tour-
nament play. The junior hurler
fanned nine and walked one in
picking up the complete game
win.

CINCINNATI (AP) Todd Frazier
hit a three-run homer off Shelby Miller,
who had won his last six decisions, and
Devin Mesoraco added a solo shot as the
Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardi-
nals 5-3 on Friday night and tightened the
top of the NL Central.
The Reds moved within three games
of the second-place Cardinals, who have
won seven of their last nine games while
staying right behind the division-leading
Brewers.
Cincinnati is 3-4 against St. Louis this
season and trying to end a longstanding
trend this weekend. The Reds have lost
nine of their last 10 series against the
Cardinals.
Miller (6-3) lost his rst two starts
before winning six straight decisions, the
best such streak of his career. He allowed
ve runs in ve innings, including Fra-
ziers ninth homer in the third inning.
Homer Bailey (4-3) escaped numerous
threats during his six innings. Aroldis
Chapman gave up a hit in the ninth while
getting his fourth save in ve chances,
with his fastball topping out at 102 mph.
Bailey was coming off his worst start
of the season. He lasted only 3 2-3 in-
nings and gave up a season-high six
runs during a 12-1 loss at Philadelphia
on Saturday. The right-hander is only
6-10 career against St. Louis, by far his
most losses against any team. He gave up
eight hits and three runs, including Allen
Craigs two-run single in the fourth.
Jhonny Peralta drove in another by
hitting into a elders choice in the sixth.
Bailey avoided further damage by pick-
ing Peralta off second base to end the in-
ning with pinch-hitter Jon Jay batting.
The Reds had right elder Jay Bruce
back in the starting lineup. He hadnt
played since surgery on May 5 to repair
torn cartilage in his left knee. Cincinnati
is still missing rst baseman Joey Votto,
on the disabled list with a strained mus-
cle above his left knee.
Bruce doubled and scored on Brayan
Penas sacrice y in the fourth inning
for a 4-2 lead. Bruce also struck out
twice and grounded out with two runners
aboard to end the seventh.
Pena played rst base and made a sav-
ing defensive play to open the eighth. He
dived to the line to get Matt Hollidays
leadoff grounder and, while still on his
chest, ipped the ball to Jonathan Brox-
ton covering the base to get the out.
Reds leadoff hitter Billy Hamilton
walked, reached on a elders choice and
stole a pair of bases without drawing a
throw on either one, giving him 18 this
season.

COLDWATER For the fth straight year, the Crest-
view Knights and the Minster Wildcats met in the post sea-
son, this time it was for the Division IV district title held
at Coldwater. The Knights came away with a 5-2 victory
behind a strong pitching performance from NWC player of
the year, Damian Helm.
I didnt have my best stuff tonight, but thats part of the
game, said Helm following the win. I just tried to do what
I can do and keep throwing strikes and the great defense be-
hind me took care of the rest. Its great coming out and get-
ting another win with my teammates and brothers out here.
After a stied scoring threat in the opening inning, the
Knights struggled to get anything going in the second and
third asMinster hurler Matthew Trushaw settled in.
The Knights nally broke the scoreless tie in the top of
the fourth inning. Isaiah Simerman drew a 4-pitch walk
with one away, then stole second base. With two away in the
inning, Jordan Miller singled and Simerman came around to
score for the Knights.
Minster recovered quickly as they took advantage of
Helms uncharacteristic control problems in the bottom of
the inning. After two walks and a sacrice bunt, Trushaw
laid down a suicide squeeze and JR Nixon came into score
to tie the game at one. Clay Brown then put Minster ahead
when he scored on Brad Walterbuschs ground ball that was
misplayed for an error.
It didnt take long for the Knights to get that run back in
the top of the fth inning. Senior second baseman Brock
Rolsten began the inning with a double and Cam Etzler was
then hit by a pitch, bringing Helm to the plate. That spelled
the end of the night for Trushaw, as he was replaced on the
mound by Drew Riploh. The rst batter he faced was Helm.
Helm took the third pitch of his at bat off the right eld
fence for his second double of the day, plating two runs for
the Knights. First baseman Jordan Roop followed with a sin-
gle up the middle, which scored Helm for a 4-2 Knight lead.
Helm was dominant for the remainder of the game as he
only allowed one hit in the nal three innings of work. He
struck out eight Wildcats on the day while walking four and
hitting one batter. Helm threw 127 pitches in his complete-
game effort.
Damian really didnt get hit hard, said Crestview head
coach Jim Wharton. Their runs were scored on two bunts
and a suicide squeeze. I tip my hat to Coach Wiss (Minsters
head coach) on gambling in that situation. They had a couple
of are hits and Damian really pitched well.
Crestview added one more run in the top of the seventh
inning when Simerman grounded to the shortstop as Jacob
Lippi, who pinch ran for Roop, came across the plate to
score for the Knights.
Theres no question that playing on a eld three times in
one week makes the kids comfortable, said Wharton. We
practiced at Van Wert under the lights and did a little bit of
work there and for our kids, and really any kids who dont
play many games under the lights, its tough but we were up
for the challenge.
The Wildcats nish the season with a 17-13 record and
lose to Crestview for the second straight year in the tourna-
ment. Crestview moves to 19-6 on the 2014 campaign and
will travel to Fairborn High School to face Fort Loramie
next Thursday in the regional semi-nal game.
We are just going to keep doing what we do, said Whar-
ton when asked about their upcoming opponent. We had a
couple of eyes on the game over there and well sit down
with them and start compiling some stats. The approach
with our kids is just to keep doing what we do and try not to
change things.

double to ignite a 3-run Crestview rally in the fth inning

MIAMI (AP) Indianas Paul George will play in Game 3
of the Eastern Conference nals, which comes as no surprise
to the Miami Heat.
They were expecting him there all along.
The Pacers announced Friday night that George has been
cleared to return to normal basketball activity, a decision
made three days after he was concussed in Game 2 of the Indi-
ana-Miami series.
Barring any unforeseen complications, he will play on
Saturday in Miami, the Pacers said.
So that settled one lineup issue.
The Heat now have a lineup decision to make.
Greg Oden whose last postseason appearance was April
30, 2009 may be inserted into the Heat rotation after show-
ing Miamis coaches in recent days that back issues that slowed
him down for weeks may nally be a thing of the past. Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra suggested that Oden could get some
minutes, which would almost certainly come against Indiana
center Roy Hibbert.
If coach needs me, Im ready to play, Oden said. Im de-
nitely ready whenever he needs me.
The series is tied at a game apiece, with Miami grabbing
the home-court edge away by rallying for an 87-83 win at In-
dianapolis in Game 2. The teams have been off since, which
gures to be a blessing of sorts for the Pacers who had sev-
eral players limping and ailing late in that game, with Georges
concussion the most notable malady.
The back of Georges head was struck by Dwyane Wades
knee as both were trying to get control of a loose ball during
the fourth quarter of that game. George remained in the game
but was basically a non-factor the rest of the way, and Miami
owned the nal minutes. The concussion came to light only
after George revealed postgame that he briey blacked out.
I probably should have kept that to myself, George said.
It just made a mess. Thats something that, going forward, just
keep that between myself and the training staff.
The Heat never even considered the possibility that George
wouldnt play in Game 3.

Our kids battled back, and thats what
weve done at times this year, Etzler ex-
plained. Last night at practice, we talk-
ed about if we get down by one or two,
were going to be able to ght and claw
back. The kids really dug deep.
In the seventh, it was Hicks that jump-
started the Knights. The senior crushed a
1-out drive to deep right-center and kept
on chugging as the ball found its way to
the fence. Hicks wound up at third and
Bowen, used this time as a pinch-runner,
was able to score when pinch-hitter Ni-
cole McClure laid down a suicide squeeze
to put Crestview ahead.
Minster would tie the game in the
home half of the seventh, doing so with
the help of a wild pitch and an error.
We gave them an out (in the seventh);
thats the way it is, Etzler said. These
are great athletes, but there is going to be
an error or two on occasion, you just hope
they arent ones that cost you a game.
The Lady Knights had a chance to
move back in front in the eighth, but left
the bases loaded when Richard recorded
her sixth strikeout of the game. She n-
ished with seven across nine innings of
work. Richard allowed four walks and
10 Crestview hits. All ve runs she was
charged with were earned.
After Crowle had worked the rst
eight innings, Etzler turned to Hicks for
the ninth. After Hicks fanned Prenger to
start the inning, Richard reached on an
error and Heckman was awarded rst
base when she attempted to bunt and
was ruled to have been hit by the pitch.
A line-out by Conrad could have turned
into a double play, as Richard was caught
too far off second, but the throw was er-
rant and both runners advance one base,
setting up the intentional walk that ended
the game.
I was very proud of the girls; we bat-
tled back. We started the season at 2-5
and then nished 16-3 (over the last 19)
and got beat by three really great teams,
Etzler added. We wish Minster a lot of
luck as they move on down the trail.

Hargus Creek Lake (132 acres; Pickaway County) - Crap-
pies are active in coves and around woody cover; use minnows
or small jigs under a oat. Sunsh: A good number of bluegill
and redear sunsh, up to 8 inches, can be caught on wax worms
in shallow areas. Largemouth bass: A large population of 12- to
15-inch bass inhabits this lake with sh more than 20 inches
present. Largemouth bass can be caught on crankbaits, plastics
tubes and creature baits. Electric motors only.
Indian Lake (5,040 acres; Logan County) - Saugeye are
being caught in good numbers; try casting or trolling small
crankbaits just above the bottom, or jigging suspending baits
near the bridge and other openings, especially if wind is push-
ing water through the opening. Largemouth bass: Many are in
the 12- to 18-inch range and are in shallow water; sh the ca-
nals and lily pads for the best results. Crappie: Fish are spawn-
ing now; try minnows and jigs shed in the lily pads. Channel
catsh: Catches should increase as the water warms.
NORTHWEST OHIO
Scioto River (Hardin County) - Channel Catsh have been
biting on nightcrawlers. Access the river at the bridge at Coun-
ty Road 245.
Nettle Lake (115 acres; Williams County) - Crappie: An-
glers are taking good numbers of 9- to 13-inchers from the
north bay of the lake, shing with minnows under a bobber on
the outside edge of the expansive lily pad elds. Twister tail jigs
have also been productive. There is a boat ramp at the south-
west corner; there is no horsepower restriction but there is a No
Wake Rule (power boaters must operate at idle speed) between
the hours of 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. From 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., there
are no speed restrictions for power boaters.
OHIO RIVER
Meldahl Pool - Hybrid striped bass: are biting in the tribu-
taries. Try crankbaits chicken livers or night crawlers.
Pike Island Dam (Belmont County) - Sauger: are a popular
sh this time of year. Try shing the pier by vertical jigging
with oz. or smaller spoons. Other popular methods include
casting and slowly retrieving pearl or chartreuse twister tails
tipped with a minnow just off the bottom. Catsh: Look for
activity to be picking up in the evening or early morning. Try
night crawlers or chicken livers. Catsh anglers may reel in the
occasional hybrid striped bass. Smallmouth bass: may still be
caught, but it may take a little more effort. Try casting spinner
baits, crankbaits, tube baits, or top-water walk-the-dog style
baits off stony points and riprap banks.
LAKE ERIE
Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye
on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 sh per angler; minimum size
limit is 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is
30 sh per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. Black
bass (largemouth and smallmouth bass) are closed to posses-
sion (catch and release only).
Western Basin
Walleye: Anglers trolling are catching sh along the north-
ern cans of the Camp Perry ring range, around the Bass Is-
lands, around Kelleys Island and in 30-40 feet of water from
Huron to Lorain. Anglers jigging are still catching sh on the
reefs of the Camp Perry ring range and in Maumee Bay; al-
though, jig shing will be ending shortly as sh migrate away
from spawning areas. Trolling anglers have caught sh using
deep diving crankbaits such as Rapala deep husky jerks and
Reef Runners, as well as with worm harnesses using inline
weights, divers or bottom bouncers. Hair jigs tipped with em-
erald shiners are the most popular jigging lures.
Smallmouth Bass: Are being caught around island shore-
lines in less than 20 feet of water on tube jigs and on crankbaits
or jerkbaits.
Largemouth bass: Are being caught in harbors and bays us-
ing crankbaits, spinner baits and soft plastics.
Central Basin
Walleye: are being caught off the Cleveland area in 45 feet
of water and off Fairport Harbor in 42-43 feet of water trolling
using worm harnesses and stick baits.
Yellow perch: Fishing has been good in 48 feet of water near
the Cleveland water intake crib, in 50 feet northwest of Fair-
port Harbor and in 39-47 feet northeast of Ashtabula. Shore
shing has been spotty off the East 55th Street and East 72nd
Street piers in Cleveland. Perch spreaders with shiners shed
near the bottom produce the most sh.
Smallmouth bass: shing has been very good in 15-25 feet
around the harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Gene-
va, Ashtabula and Conneaut using leeches, tube jigs and crank-
baits.
Channel Catsh: Fishing has been very good in the Grand
River using nightcrawlers and large chubs.

ELIDA Friday afternoon was an almost perfect spring
day for the Columbus Grove and Patrick Henry Division IV
District baseball nal at Elidas Ed Sandy Memorial Field.
Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, the Patriots had a great rst
inning to put themselves in the drivers seat on their way to an
11-0 5-inning rout.
The Patriots (20-9) advance to a Regional seminal at their
own diamond at 2 p.m. Thursday.
Kollin Spence (7-0; 53 pitches, 31 strikes) twirled a 3-hitter
to pace the Patriots, walking two and hitting two.
Spence kept us off-balance. He got ahead of the count and
made us hit his pitch, Grove coach Cory King explained. We
did get some baserunners against him, but we couldnt get the
clutch hit, especially early. We really wanted to get a run early.
Patriot coach Shawn Sunderman agreed with his counter-
parts assessment of his senior right-hander.
Kollin didnt have his best stuff, but he battled. He only had
one strikeout, which says a lot about our defense, Sunderman
said. He threw strikes, mixed his pitches up and, because he
threw a lot of rst-pitch strikes, they had to hit his pitch.
The Bulldogs (16-13) had their rst best chance against
Spence in the top of the rst frame with a leadoff single by
Riley Brubaker (2-for-3) the only Grove player with a multi-
hit game a Reid Stechschulte sacrice, stolen base and a
2-out free pass to Mason Smith. However, they could not take
advantage.
The Patriots used small-ball only having one double
amongst their 10 hits, but also utilizing four bases-on-balls,
one hit batter and two Grove errors to do the damage.
Grove starter Ryan Verhoff (3-2) only faced four batters
in the bottom of the rst but gave up three hits, a hit batter
and four earned runs. Josh Verhoff relieved and faced the next
seven batters. When all was said and done in the frame, the
Patriots had sent 11 men to the dish and scored seven runs,
registering ve hits and two walks.
That was not the way we wanted to start. I wanted to have
our best defensive team out there from the start, King said.
They didnt hit our pitchers hard, but they found gaps. Plus,
there is no defense for walks and hit batters. With having to go
11 innings Wednesday, I wasnt sure what I was going to. We
went with the guys we had, but it was difcult for them.
Sunderman got exactly what he was hoping for.
You hope to have a start like this, but you dont expect it.
Weve needed a breakout game like this, he added. Its so
much easier for your pitcher to get staked to a lead like that. He
can relax; he pitched like someone who had a big lead.
Marcos Olivo was stranded with a 2-out base hit in the top
of the second.
The Patriots added their last four runs in the second frame,
including the only extra-base hit a 2-run double by Logan
Ziegler (2 runs, 3 runs batted in) that chased Josh Verhoff after
only three batters in the second for Riley Brubaker. Four hits,
a walk and an error produced the 11-0 lead after two frames.
Grove put two on with two down in the third: Josh Ver-
hoff was hit by a pitch and a 2-base throwing error on Smiths
grounder, but stranded both.
Brubaker stranded a pair of Patriots in the bottom of the
third.
Brubaker had the only 1-2-3 inning by a Grove hurler in the
fourth.
The Bulldogs had their best try to score in the top of the fth
with one out: a sharp hit by Brubaker, a hit batter (Stechschul-
te) and a walk to Josh Verhoff. However, Smith and Tanner
Neu were retired to end the game and the season for the Dogs.
I am so proud of what this team accomplished, King add-
ed. We lost nine very talented seniors from last year and com-
ing into camp this year, I dont think anyone was thinking we
had a chance to get to the districts for the rst time since 1994.

BALTIMORE (AP) Chris Davis
homered and had four RBIs, Adam Jones
had three hits and scored three runs and
the Baltimore Orioles beat Cleveland 8-4
Friday night to snap the Indians four-
game winning streak.
Nelson Cruz hit his 15th homer and
Nick Markakis had four hits for the Ori-
oles, who have 38 runs and 62 hits in
their last ve games.
Davis hit a two-run double in the third
inning and put Baltimore up 5-4 in the
fth with his seventh homer, the fourth
in four games.
Bud Norris (3-4) gave up four runs,
six hits and three walks in six innings to
earn his rst win in four starts since May
1.
Making his second major league ap-
pearance, Clevelands T.J. House (0-1)
allowed ve runs and 11 hits in six in-
nings. He was rst left-hander to make
his initial big league start with the Indi-
ans since David Huff on May 17, 2009.
Jason Giambi hit a three-run homer
for Cleveland, the 439th of his career,
breaking a tie with Andre Dawson for
41st place on the all-time HR list. Prior
to connecting, the 43-year-old Giambi
was 1 for 15 with no homers and no RBIs
this year.
Cruz put Baltimore up 1-0 with a
drive to right-center in the second inning,
and Davis doubled to right to make it 3-0
in the third.
Cleveland responded with a four-run
fourth. After Lonnie Chisenhall doubled
in a run, Carlos Santana walked and
Giambi followed with an opposite-eld
drive into the left-eld seats.
But Davis followed an ineld hit by
Jones with a shot to right eld in the fth
to put Baltimore ahead to stay.
The Orioles added three unearned
runs in the seventh off Mark Lowe, whose
throwing error on a potential double-play
ball allowed a run to score and preceded
an RBI groundout by J.J. Hardy and a
run-scoring double by Delmon Young.
NOTES: Orioles 3B Manny Machado
was given the day off after leaving in the
12th inning Thursday night with a sore
right groin. Manager Buck Showalter
termed the injury the proverbial day-
to-day and said he expected Machado
to avoid the 15-day disabled list. The
Orioles recalled LHP T.J. McFarland
from Triple-A Norfolk before Fridays
game and optioned RHP Preston Guil-
met to Norfolk. Cleveland SS As-
drubal Cabrera and 1B Nick Swisher did
not start Friday because of knee soreness,
but both are expected to avoid the DL, In-
dians manager Terry Francona said. Ca-
breras MRI Friday morning came back
negative, Francona said. RHP Ubaldo
Jimenez will start for the Orioles on Sat-
urday against his former team. Jimenez
played with the Indians before signing
with Baltimore as a free agent during the
offseason.

WASHINGTON (AP) Sales of
U.S. new homes recovered in April after
slumping in the previous two months. But
Americans are still buying new homes at
a slower pace than they did a year ago.
The Commerce Department said Fri-
day that sales of new homes rose 6.4 per-
cent last month to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 433,000. That compares
with an upwardly revised annual pace of
407,000 in March, when purchases fell
6.9 percent. Buying had dropped 4.4 per-
cent in February, in part because of win-
ter snowstorms.
Demand for newly built homes re-
mains one of the missing pieces of the
nearly 5-year-old recovery from the Great
Recession. A lack of affordability has
limited buying around the country. Sales
of new homes are running at roughly half
the rate of a healthy real estate market.
Warmer weather has yet to heat up
the housing market after a harsh winter
slowed sales in January and February.
Higher prices and mortgage rates over
the past year have sidelined many would-
be buyers.
Sales during April surged in the Mid-
west and edged up in the South. Home-
