Social services help bridge the gap
BY STEPHANIE GROVES

DELPHOS With the grips of
winter lingering, higher utility bills
just add to the financial balancing
act many people in our community
struggle with each time they try and
find the means necessary to pay all
of their bills.
For some people, living paycheck
to paycheck is a way of life and when
a variable like losing a job, running
out of unemployment or losing wages
due to illness happens, there is no
way to bridge financial gaps alone.
Reaching out to The Inter-Faith Thrift
Shops Food Pantry/Social Services
for assistance can help people both
spiritually and physically and rebuild
broken lives.
Since the beginning of the fis-
cal year on Nov. 1, Social Services
has helped 273 clients with close to
$41,000 to help pay rent and utility
bills. Over the course of the last fiscal
year from Nov. 2012 through the
end of Oct. 2013 Social Services
spent a total of $83,000 for the same
types of assistance.
Executive Director Becky Strayer
said the two highest utility bills at this
time of year are gas and water.
Its a balancing act where some
people might be able to pay their gas
bill but cant afford their electric or
water, Strayer reasoned.
People needing help with utility
bills, rent, prescriptions or repairs
furnace, air conditioner or water pipes
can call for an appointment and
get information on applying at The
Ohio Benefit Bank website for assis-
tance, which includes: food stamps,
cash assistance, Medicare, Medicaid,
help with taxes, medical cards and
free school lunches. People can also
go online to the website www.ohio-
benefits.org and apply from home.
It takes about 15 minutes and
some general information to find
out what someone can qualify for,
Strayer said.
Since the Food Pantry/Social
Services is also a Salvation Army
site, there are options available if
there are certain things an individual
does not qualify for through The Ohio
Benefit Bank.
Last year during the sweltering
heat of summer, there was an individ-
ual who contacted them for assistance
with an air conditioner repair. The
gentleman was elderly, not in good
health and lived in a trailer.
We helped him with the purchase
of the part and a friend installed it for
him, Strayer detailed.
Clients come from all age groups
and socio-economic classes.
I have come to see the needs
of these people, Strayer said with
compassion.
Delphos City Finance
Committee Chairman Josh

gets and the income tax levy
and any other issues that

and a must-read for anyone
who has battled dependency or

FORT JENNINGS Students got a les-
son in slimy science when COSI (Center of
Science and Industry) brought its traveling
science program Its Simply Chemistry
to Fort Jennings Elementary School on
Thursday.
The highly-interactive program stimulat-
ed the imaginations of the next generation of
scientists and chemists by allowing students
to explore chemistry through simple experi-
ments designed to introduce new science
principles and enhance students knowledge
of the chemistry in their daily lives.
During the morning assembly, COSIs
Chemistry Detective Becca Kelley showed
students in grades K-6 how to solve
the mystery of the missing slime ingre-
dients by identifying acids and bases.
After lunch, the students participated
in a 45-minute hands-on activity ses-
sion where they were engaged in diverse
activities encouraging their development
of scientific processing skills including:
observing, inferring, questioning and
hypothesizing; predicting and planning;
investigating; and interpreting, communi-
cating, relating and applying.
Its Simple Chemistry hands-on activi-
ties for students included:
A Closer Look: Using microscopes to
identify powders based on their external
structures;
Chemical or Physical?: Comparing and
identifying a variety of chemical changes
with physical changes;
Its a Secret: Writing secret messages
in two different ways: one using phenol-
phthalein and washing soda, the other using
ultraviolet ink and a black light;
Solid-Liquid-Gas: Mixing solids with a
liquid to produce a gas. The reaction gives
results students could see, feel and hear;
pH: With a variety of diluted household
chemicals and Universal Indicator solution,
students explored the full range of pH: acid
to neutral to base;
Light the Night: Experiencing a chemi-
cal reaction that produces light without
heat;
Sink or Float: Investigating density
and see how it determines if something will
float or sink;
Super Slime: Using Polyvinyl Alcohol,
Sodium Tetraborate and food coloring to
create great non-Newtonian substances for
students to explore and take with them;
Students learn slimy science
Fort Jennings Elementary students in grades K-6 were treated to COSI on Wheels Its
Simply Chemistry program on Thursday. Students explored chemistry through simple
experiments designed to introduce new science principles and enhance their knowledge of
the chemistry in their daily lives. At the Sink or Float station, goggle-faced kindergart-
ners Ryan Aldrich, left, Calvin Menke and Madie Crawford delighted in the way objects
behaved when dropped in water. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)

DigitalWorks to begin
recruiting in Van Wert
BY ED GEBERT
Times Bulletin Editor
news@delphosherald.com
VAN WERT Connect
Ohio, a company involved
with bringing broadband
Internet service and training
to the state, is bringing a new
program to the Van Wert area
which could mean jobs to hun-
dreds of people.
Digital Works is the pro-
gram that seeks to train people
to work from home via the
internet. It is a six-week class
in customer service training
which concludes with the
opportunity to accept a job as
an online inbound customer
service representative.
This is a really great
program to help people
get employed, explained
Connect Ohios Jeff Beebe.
Weve had over 70 people
across the state working full
time, part time or whatever
their schedule is. Its a really
great opportunity for us here
in Van Wert County.
Beebe was in Van Wert
this week to present the pro-
gram to the Van Wert County
Commissioners. He said that
the program was drawn to
Delphos when the city lost a
large manufacturing plant.
We had a great opportuni-
ty and made a presentation to
them and they were excited,
Beebe shared. Digital Works
is a great program as far as
use of the Internet and a sus-
tainable job-creation program
bringing technology-based
jobs to local communities in
Ohio.
Van Wert Civic Theatre offers
Allens Dont Drink the Water
Information submitted
Van Wert Civic Theatre is now offering Dont Drink the
Water by Woody Allen.
Show dates include today, Saturday, Sunday and March
20, 21, 22 and 23.
A cascade of comedy, this affair takes place inside an
American embassy behind the Iron Curtain. An American
tourist, a caterer by trade, and his wife and daughter rush into
the embassy two steps ahead of the police who suspect them
of spying and picture taking.
Its not much of a refuge, for the ambassador is absent and
his son, now in charge, has been expelled from a dozen coun-
tries and the continent of Africa. Nevertheless, they carefully
and frantically plot their escape and the ambassadors son
and the caterers daughter even have time to fall in love.

Feds sue Ohio over
seclusion at juvenile prisons
COLUMBUS (AP) The U.S. Department
of Justice is seeking a court order to force Ohio
juvenile prisons to stop what federal officials
describe as rampant use of solitary confinement
to discipline boys with mental health disorders, a
practice the state says is a last resort.
A motion filed Wednesday in federal court
in Ohio seeks a temporary restraining order to
limit seclusion at four juvenile facilities. The
Justice Department alleges Ohio violates the
boys due process rights by depriving them of
education, exercise and mental health care, then
doesnt change their treatment when they return
to the general population to address the effects
of solitary confinement or the problems that led
to seclusion.
The state secludes boys with mental health
disorders at the facilities a tremendous amount,
the state knows it, and the state wont address
it, the Justice Department wrote. If these boys
are to be protected from the irreparable harm of
excessive and repeated seclusion, it is up to this
court to protect them.
The Ohio Department of Youth Services said
it secludes juveniles as a last resort and still offers
treatment and programming in those cases.
Addressing youths mental health needs is
absolutely critical in our work of rehabilitating
youth, spokeswoman Kim Parsell said in a state-
ment, noting that youth are provided individual-
ized, evidence-based behavioral health services
and activities.
The federal governments latest request adds
to its 2008 lawsuit raising concerns about soli-
tary confinement and inadequate mental health
services in Ohios youth system. The government
says the monitor in the case investigated the use
of seclusion for part of last year and expressed
concerns but that the state has not made policy
changes or taken other remedial action on the
issue.
Parsell said she couldnt respond in detail
because of the pending case but noted that the
agency reviews seclusion to make sure it is used
only as a last option.
The Wednesday filing charged that seclusion
has become the systems typical method of deal-
ing with mentally ill boys.
It said at least 10 boys at the Scioto Juvenile
Correctional Facility in central Ohio spent at least
one-tenth of their time in seclusion between April
and September of last year. That facility is slated
to close in May.
One youth at the Circleville Juvenile
Correctional Facility south of Columbus spent
about 45 percent of his time in seclusion over
six months, with the longest stretch lasting about
19 days, and he showed self-injurious behav-
ior and was on suicide watch, according to the
motion. Another spent about one-third of his time
alone, including three straight weeks, it said.
Federal authorities want the court to limit
solitary confinement for mentally ill boys to no
more than 24 hours without exercise, education
or other programming; no more than three con-
secutive days; and no more than three days within
a 30-day period unless officials review a youths
mental health treatment plan and take other steps.
They also say use of restraints shouldnt be sub-
stituted for seclusion.

5-year sentence for
man in slave labor case
YOUNGSTOWN (AP)
A judge on Thursday handed a
five-year prison term to the first
of four people sentenced for
participating in the enslavement
of a mentally disabled woman
held for two years with her
young child in northeast Ohio.
Daniel Brown pleaded guilty
last year to a single conspiracy
charge and agreed to cooper-
ate with the investigation. He
was sentenced by Judge Benita
Pearson in federal court in
Youngstown.
Brown, 34, and three oth-
ers were charged in connection
with the enslavement and beat-
ing of the woman. Prosecutors
said she was recruited and tar-
geted along with her daughter
as part of a plot to obtain the
womans government benefits
and steal her pain medication.

Worship this week at the
church of your choice.
The great hockey player Wayne Gretzky wisely counseled that You will miss one-
hundred percent of the shots you dont take. Of course the flip side of this is that you will
miss a lot of the shots you do take, though it is bound to be less than one-hundred percent.
Wise men and women have always advised us to take calculated risks, and remind us
that when nothing is ventured, nothing is gained. The wise man who penned Ecclesiastes
advised us to Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what disaster
may happen on earth. (Ecclesiastes 11:2) This seems to be suggesting that we diversify,
i.e., to not put all our eggs in one basket, but rather to invest a bit in seven or even eight
different ventures. This is certainly good advice when it comes to our finances, but what
about our spiritual treasures? Should we treat our souls, or our salvation as an investor
thinking about where to put our money? Definitely not, for in the realm of spirit, you have
to be all in. God doesnt want halfhearted followers, so in deciding where to put your
spiritual wealth, we should indeed put all of our eggs in one basket.
Christopher Simon
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or
what shall a man give in return for his soul?

A pet owners nightmare:
When loving animals
become aggressive
Paws to Consider
BY DR. TRACY STRAUER
I remember when my
dogs took turns laying their
heads on my pregnant belly.
Even our cat would partake
in this activity, which soon
became a daily
routine. My
husband and I
found great joy
in this. Both
animal lovers,
we prayed that
our unborn
child would
follow in our
footsteps and
enjoy Gods
c r e a t i o n s .
However, I
did notice a
change in our
pets behavior
the larger my
belly grew. They
seemed to become more pro-
tective, never leaving my side
but never exhibiting aggres-
sion, either.
Veterinarians deal with
aggressive animals on a daily
basis and the reasons for pet
aggression can be numerous.
Extensive research has been
conducted leading to multiple
theories about why animals
misbehave. Yet, there is still
so much to learn about pet
aggression. We cannot ask
unruly pets What is mak-
ing you upset? We can
only observe and study their
actions and do our best to
make sense of their inappro-
priate behaviors.
Many clients seek my
advice about their pets
aggression. My first task is
to conduct a thorough exami-
nation to rule out physical
causes for bad behavior such
as diminished vision or hear-
ing or undiagnosed pain.
Once I am convinced the pet
is not experiencing any phys-
ical reasons for behavioral
changes, I then counsel the
pet owner about options to
cope with their pets aggres-
sion. These
might include
changing the
pets behav-
ior through
proper obe-
dience train-
ing, an envi-
ronmental or
diet change or
medication.
S a d l y ,
some pet
owners have
become afraid
of their own
animals and
many of
them, like me,
have children in their home.
I have been asked by parents
of small children on several
occasions, What would you
do if you had an aggressive
animal in your home? The
question regarding aggres-
sive animals in a household
with children was always
hard for me to answer
because until recently, I did
not have children.
It is hard to put yourself in
someone elses shoes if you
have no experience with their
challenges. Of course, I have
always been straightforward
and honest with my clients.
I have and always will offer
them every option available
to help them seek the choice
that they are most comfort-
able with.
Veterinarians are charged
with helping and protect-
ing all animals; however,
our higher responsibility is
to protect the welfare of
people as well as pets. My
personal goal is and always
will be to do what is best for
the animal AND its family.
I am never judgmental as
I constantly realize every
human-animal bond is dif-
ferent.
I can now say that as a
first-time mother with pets,
answering questions on
aggressive animal behav-
ior in regards to children
is easier. My husband and I
recently found ourselves in
the moccasins of my clients
who own aggressive pets.
This experience was truly
eye-opening when it was in
my own household.
A parents instinct is
always to put the child first
and protect them no matter
what. However, this may
be easier said than done,
as most, like me, consider
pets as family members.
Needless to say, any deci-
sion about a pets well-being
should always be made with
the deepest consideration
and utmost concern for the
pet as well as its family.
Speaking from experi-
ence and the heart, I know
bad pet behavior should
never be shrugged off nor
taken lightly. Many are the
avenues for coping with pet
aggression. If you are deal-
ing with an aggressive ani-
mal in your home, with or
without the presence of chil-
dren, please seek the advice
of your veterinarian.
Dr. Tracy Strauer is an
associate veterinarian at
Delphos Animal Hospital who
enjoys her free time with hus-
band, Kyle, son, Redmond,
and their pets.

Browns sign WR Andrew Hawkins to offer sheet
Associated Press
CLEVELAND The Browns moved a
step closer to swiping a player from one of
their AFC North rivals.
Cleveland signed Bengals slot receiver
Andrew Hawkins to a contract offer sheet
on Thursday, a Browns spokesman said.
Cincinnati will have five days until next
Tuesday to match the reported 4-year,
$13.6 million deal, which includes a $3.8
million signing bonus, or theyll lose the
speedy and elusive Hawkins.
The Browns are in the market to fill the
slot position after releasing troubled wide
receiver Davone Bess last
week. The Bengals have not
said what they intend to do
with Hawkins, who caught
just 12 passes last season
and missed four games with
a high ankle sprain.
In 2012, Hawkins had 51
catches for 533 yards and
four touchdowns. The 28-year-old Hawkins
was in Clevelands rookie minicamp in
2007, but wasnt signed. He played in the
Canadian Football League before signing
with the Bengals.
If he joins the Browns, the 5-7 Hawkins
would provide a nice complement for Pro
Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon and anoth-
er option for quarterback Brian Hoyer, who
at this point is the favorite to begin next
season as Clevelands starter.
As they await Cincinnatis decision on
Hawkins, the Browns are exploring other
options and are believed to have interest
in New Englands Julian Edelman, a free
agent who caught 105 passes last season as
Tom Bradys primary target.
Edelman took over the role once held
by Wes Welker and finished with 1,056
yards receiving and six touchdowns. The
former Kent State quarterback also handled
punt return duties for the Patriots. He has
another local connection because he was a
teammate on the Patriots with Hoyer, who
backed up Brady for three seasons.
On Thursday night, the Browns hosted
Houston free agent running back Ben Tate,
who could fill a major hole for Cleveland.
Tate was supposed to meet with the team
on Wednesday but his visit had to be post-
poned because of a severe winter storm.
Tate rushed for 771 yards and four
touchdowns last season, his third with the
Texans. He has been on Clevelands radar
for months, starting soon after the club
traded Trent Richardson to Indianapolis
for a first-round draft pick. Tate has aver-
aged 4.7 yards per carry and hes rushed for
1,992 yards and 10 TDs.
The Browns didnt adequately replace
Richardson and their rushing game was
almost nonexistent.
Earlier in the day, the Browns signed
tight end Jim Dray to a 3-year,
$5.62 million contract, with
$2.25 million in the first sea-
son. The 6-5, 255-pounder
spent the past four seasons
with the Arizona Cardinals,
setting career highs with 26
catches for 215 yards and two
touchdowns last season.
Primarily a blocker, Dray gives the
Browns depth at tight end behind Pro Bowl
Jordan Cameron and Gary Barnidge.
Dray was impressed that the Browns
showed early interest in him.
Just hearing from my agent that the
Browns were pretty aggressive from the
start of free agency, said Dray, drafted
out of Stanford in the seventh round in
2010. I thought that theyd be a great fit
for me, so the feeling was mutual and Im
really excited to be here. Ive been watch-
ing (offensive coordinator) coach (Kyle)
Shanahans offense for Washington the past
couple years, and the way they used their
tight ends seemed like a good fit.
The Browns also are waiting for what
happens with Pro Bowl center Alex Mack.
They placed their transition tag worth
$10.039 million for one year on him last
week and will have five days to match any
offer if he signs with another team. Mack
has until July 22 to sign his transition tag
and its possible his situation could drag on.
Revis, Sproles, Smith, Harrison, Tuck
on move: Darrelle Revis and Darren Sproles
found landing spots in the Northeast. Now
Steve Smith and James Harrison look for
new NFL homes.
Revis stay in Tampa Bay was short and
he might not be in New England much lon-
ger. After less than a year as a Buccaneer,
he was cut Wednesday and officially agreed
to terms with the Patriots on Thursday
but only on a 1-year deal, albeit worth about
$12 million.
The 28-year-old shutdown cornerback
whose contract impasses have led him
from the Jets to the Bucs to the Patriots
since last April, was the latest big name
on the move. Versatile running back-kick
returner Sproles will add some juice to
Philadelphias already high-energy offense
after he was acquired from New Orleans.
And someone will grab veteran Smith after
the standout wide receiver was released by
Carolina.
As for Harrison, the 2008 Defensive
Player of the Year was cut by Cincinnati,
where he spent only the 2013 season after
being released by Pittsburgh.
It was yet another busy period on the
third day of NFL free agency in which
Jonathan Martin signed a 2-year contract
with San Francisco.
Martin passed his physical Thursday to
complete a trade that sent the tackle from
the Dolphins to the Niners to be reunited
with his college coach, Jim Harbaugh.
The teams first announced
the move Tuesday night for
Martin, who left the Dolphins
last fall after accusing team-
mate Richie Incognito of bul-
lying in a scandal that over-
shadowed the franchises 8-8
season.
Tampa Bay cut tackle
Donald Penn and signed
Anthony Collins to replace
him; Oakland signed defen-
sive end Justin Tuck; Green Bay re-signed
linebacker Mike Neal and tight end Andrew
Quarless; and the Jaguars formally signed
defensive end Chris Clemons, defensive
lineman Ziggy Hood and re-signed defen-
sive end Jason Babin, who led the team
with 7 sacks in 2013.
Revis business manager, John Geiger,
tweeted: Now its Official.@Revis24 has
agreed to terms with the New England
Patriots!
Tampa released the 3-time All-Pro before
he was due a $1.5 million bonus. Revis was
cut after efforts to trade him and his $16
million salary failed.
New England had a need at the posi-
tion because Aqib Talib left for Denver.
The Patriots have not announced the Revis
move.
The Eagles were eager to let the world
know about the addition of the 30-year-
old Sproles, who figures to be a threat as a
receiver, runner, returner and in pass pro-
tection against blitzers all the things he
did so well in New Orleans.
Darren Sproles is an unbelievable offen-
sive weapon, coach Chip Kelly said. He
can do it all: run, catch, plus hes a proven
winner. And on top of that, he can bring all
of those dynamic skills to the return game
as well. There is no question we were all
excited once we found out we were going
to be able to trade for him.
Sproles had 71 catches for 604 yards and
two touchdowns and ran for 220 yards and
two scores in 2013.
Smith has been the face of Carolinas
franchise for a decade. But he turns 35 in
May and would have cost the Panthers $7
million under this years salary cap. The
Panthers still owe Smith $3 million.
When I took this position I knew
that difficult decisions would have
to be made along the way, general
manager Dave Gettleman said. To
move on from a storied veteran play-
er is probably the most difficult of
all. A decision not to be taken lightly.
However, after much thought I feel
very strongly its the right one.
Cincinnati no longer was the right
place for Harrison, 35, who had
a limited role with the Bengals after he
helped the Steelers win a pair of Super
Bowls.
Harrison played in 15 games, starting 10,
and finished 12th on the team in tackles. He
had two sacks and one interception.

CHICAGO Mike
Dunleavy scored all of his
21 points in the second
half, Joakim Noah flirted
with another triple-double
and the Chicago Bulls post-
ed a 111-87 wire-to-wire
victory over the Houston
Rockets on Thursday night.
Noah finished with 13
points, 10 rebounds
and nine assists in
34 minutes. He
was headed for his
fourth triple-dou-
ble of the season,
but sat down with
about three minutes
left because of the
lopsided score.
Kirk Hinrich
scored 19 points
for Chicago, going
5-for-6 on 3-point-
ers, Carlos Boozer
added 18 points,
D.J. Augustin 13 and
Jimmy Butler 11.
The Bulls improved to
2-2 on their 6-game home
stand.
The Rockets have
dropped two straight.
Reserve guard Jeremy
Lin led Houston with
21 points, while Dwight

10 rebounds in 28 minutes.
James Harden had eight
points on 2-for-7 shooting
in 27 minutes.

ATLANTA Kyle
Korver scored 12 of his 15
points in the fourth quar-
ter to help Atlanta beat
Milwaukee for its first
back-to-back victories in
nearly six weeks.
Jeff Teague added 22
points, including
eight in the final
period when the
struggling teams
traded the lead
several times.
The Hawks went
ahead for good
when Korver s
3-pointer gave
them a 90-89 edge
with 2:15 left.
Bot h t eams
entered the contest
having lost 14 of
their previous 16
games. The Hawks (28-
35) have plummeted to the
No. 8 spot in the Eastern
Conference. They lead the
surging Knicks (26-40),
who have won five in a
row, by 3 games for the
final playoff spot.
Brandon Knight and
Ersan Ilyasova scored 20
points each for Milwaukee
(13-52), which has the
worst record in the NBA.

Reds 8, Dodgers 2
GLENDALE, Ariz. Paul
Maholm allowed six runs and
six hits, includ-
ing homers to
Todd Frazier and
Chris Heisey, as
the Los Angeles
Dodgers lost to the
Cincinnati Reds
8-2 Thursday.
Frazier hit second homer
this spring in the first inning
off Maholm, who is competing
with Josh Beckett for the No. 5
spot in the Dodgers rotation.
Heisey connected for a 3-run
shot in the third, his fourth.
Maholm was lifted with two
outs in the third.
The Dodgers scored in the
fourth on Justin Turners sac-
rifice fly. In the fifth, Hanley
Ramirez hit his second homer
this spring, a powerful shot to
left.
The Dodgers played for the
second straight day without
manager Don Mattingly, who
left camp because of a death in
his family. Bench coach Tim
Wallach was acting manager.
For the Reds, Alfredo Simon
was solid over 4 1/3
innings. He allowed one
run on five hits and struck
out three.
TRAINERS ROOM

4-way tie for the lead
at windy Innisbrook
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
PALM HARBOR, Fla. Matt Every
made the best of the worst conditions
Thursday at Innisbrook. Danny Lee,
finally, seems to be playing good golf in
any weather.
They were among a 4-way tie for
the lead after the opening round of the
Valspar Championship, a day so chal-
lenging that 3-under 68 was the highest
score to lead after the first round in the
14-year history of this event.
Pat Perez and Greg Chalmers also
had 68s to share the lead.
Every was the only one among the
leaders to play in the morning, when
the temperatures were in the mid-50s
and felt even colder because of a strong
wind. He had three birdies on his last
four holes, all of them about 15 feet or
longer, and was five shots better than he
would have hoped when he teed off.
The temperature warmed under full
sunshine in the afternoon, though that
only helped a little. Only three play-
ers broke 70 in the morning, with the
average score nearly 3 shots over par.
Eight players broke 70 in the afternoon,
and the average for the day turned out
to be 72.6.
Lee was in the last group; how he got
to Tampa Bay explains why he was one
of the leaders.
The former U.S. Amateur champion
had missed every cut this year and six
straight dating to the OHL Classic in
Mexico last November. That changed
last week in the Puerto Rico Open, when
he posted all four rounds in the 60s to
finish second to Chesson Hadley.
That got him into the field at
Innisbrook, and Lee kept right on roll-
ing.
He ran off three
birdies in five
holes to start his
round and was the
only player all day
to reach 4 under
with a birdie on the
par-5 first. He dropped his only shot
on No. 6 when he failed to get up-and-
down from the bunker.
Only 25 players managed to break
par.
Matteo Manassero, who didnt break
74 in four rounds at Doral last week,
was in the large group at 69 that includ-
ed Nicolas Colsaerts and Bill Haas.
Russell Knox, who lost in a 4-man play-
off two weeks ago at the Honda Classic,
was in the group at 70. John Merrick
made bogey on his last two holes for a
70, while Peter Uihlein made birdie on
two of his last three holes, including a
35-foot putt on his last hole, for a 70.
This is a big week for Uihlein, a
European Tour member, who is No.
73 in the world. He has only two more
tournaments to try to get into the top 50
in the world and become eligible for the
Masters.
Justin Rose, at No. 7 the highest-
ranked player in the world at Innisbrook,
Luke Donald and 20-year-old Jordan
Spieth were among those at 70.
More cold was expected this morning
before the warming trend returns the rest
of the week. That means Lee, Perez and
the others could face wind and cold at
the start of their second round.
Lee can only draw comparisons with
his game, not the course or the condi-
tions.
He had never been to the Copperhead
course, regarded by many as perhaps
the best tournament course in Florida.
He played a practice round Tuesday and
jokingly said he would have
shot about a 90.
Every traded birdies and
bogeys until a strong finish.
He made birdie putts of 15
feet on the sixth and seventh
holes, then made a 20-foot
birdie putt on the par-3 eighth and he
made par from a fairway bunker on his
last hole.
Perez played well on the West Coast,
earning nearly $1 million, then took
three weeks off. He worked a little with
his coach but felt some rust early, so he
was happy to get around Innisbrook at
68. And he was lucky to be playing late.
DIVOTS: Angel Cabrera opened
with a 72 with a backup set of clubs
and rain gear belonging to swing coach
Charlie Epps. Cabrera took one airline
from Buenos Aires through Santiago
and into Miami. The last he heard, his
clubs and luggage were being shipped
on another airline through Los Angeles.
Blake Adam withdrew with a hip
injury after opening with a 78. Adams
missed all but two tournaments last sea-
son with surgery on his left hip.
TROPHY HASSAN II
AGADIR, Morocco Spains
Alejandro Canizares shot a 10-under 62
in windy conditions at Golf du Palais
Royal to take a 1-stroke lead after the
first round of the Trophy Hassan II.
Canizares had 11 birdies and a bogey
for the lowest score in his European
Tour career. Englands Seve Benson
was second after a 63 and American
Connor Arendell and Swedens Magnus
Carlsson followed at 65.
The Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed
Palais Royal sits inside the walls of the
Royal Palace of Agadir. Other than the
tournament, the course is used only by
King Mohammed VI and his guests.
(Continued from page 6)
It was great for our coaches, players and
fans to have James on our team last year,
coach Marvin Lewis said. Hes a player
everyone looks up to because of his ability,
his accomplishments and his drive to be the
best. He helped us win a division title with
his play and with the example he set.
Its time for us to go a different direc-
tion now, with some younger guys, but we
will all still reap benefits from having had
James with us as a Bengal last year.
Tuck, soon to turn 32, got a 2-year deal
in Oakland. He spent nine seasons with the
New York Giants during which he helped
them win two Super Bowls. Tuck has made
two Pro Bowls and has 60 career sacks,
20 forced fumbles and six fumble recover-
ies in 127 career games.
Oakland also gave linebacker LaMarr
Woodley a 2-year deal. Woodley was cut
by Pittsburgh.
In other moves:
Super Bowl champion Seattle
Seahawks and Tarvaris Jackson agreed to
a 1-year contract for him to back up quar-
terback Russell Wilson.
Rodger Saffolds bizarre free-agent
experience ended back in St. Louis. He
re-signed Thursday, one day after he failed
a physical to void a 5-year, $42.5 million
deal with the Raiders.
Jason Hatcher agreed to a 4-year,
$27.5 million deal to join the Redskins, a
person with knowledge of the agreement
said on condition of anonymity because
the contract had not yet been signed.
Hatcher had 11 sacks last year and was
selected to his first Pro Bowl in his eighth
season with the Cowboys.
Washington also agreed to a 1-year
contract with free-agent linebacker Darryl
Sharpton, according to a person familiar
with the deal.
Buffalo brought back its top tight
end, Scott Chandler, who holds the Bills
record for tight ends with 32 consecutive
games with a catch.
Minnesota signed cornerback
Captain Munnerlyn, a starter on Carolinas
improved defense last year. Munnerlyn got
a deal that could pay him $15 million over
three years with incentives.
Tight end Garrett Graham re-signed
with the Texans, two days after the team
released 2-time Pro Bowler Owen Daniels.
Graham took over as the starter last season
when Daniels was injured and started a
career-high 11 games, had 49 receptions
for 545 yards and five touchdowns.
Arizona signed wide receiver Ted
Ginn Jr. to a 3-year contract and agreed to
terms on a 2-year deal to keep linebacker
Matt Shaughnessy. Ginn had 36 recep-
tions for 556 yards and a career-high five
touchdowns with the Panthers in 2013.
Ginn also returned 26 punts for 316 yards,
setting a franchise record with a 12.2-yard
average.
The team also released linebacker
Dontay Moch.
Indianapolis signed center Phil Costa,
whos likely to replace Samson Satele,
who started the last two seasons with Indy.
Satele was released in a cost-cutting move
late last week.
The New York Giants reached an
agreement with fullback Henry Hynoski
on a 1-year contract worth $1 million, a
person with knowledge of the deal said.
Dallas signed linebacker and special
teams player Will Herring. The eighth-year
pro spent the past three seasons with New
Orleans after starting his career with four
years in Seattle.
Quarterback Kellen Clemens and
linebacker Kavell Conner signed with the
Chargers. Clemens spent the last two sea-
sons with the Rams as a backup to Sam
Bradford. He replaces Charlie Whitehurst,
who left for Tennessee.
Chicago agreed to a 3-year contract
with defensive end Willie Young and a
1-year deal with receiver Domenik Hixon.
Young spent four years with Detroit and
Hixon had seven catches for 55 yards with
Carolina in 2013. He previously played
for Denver (2006-07) and the New York
Giants (2007-12).

Q: How did my favorite candy bar, Snickers, get its name?
-- L.N., Burlington, Vt.
A: Frank Mars created the candy bar in 1930. He added
chocolate to an existing snack and named it Snickers after
one of his familys favorite horses.
SUPER TRIVIA: Each Snickers bar contains
approximately 16 peanuts.
Q: What is the story behind my childrens favorite toy,
Play-Doh? -- W.L.N., Medford, Ore.
A: The story varies slightly from source to source; Ill
share one version with you:
Credit for Play-Doh goes to father-and-son duo Noah and
Joseph McVicker of Cincinnati, who developed the nontoxic
product for cleaning wallpaper in the early 1950s. Around
this time, Joseph McVickers sister-in-law, a nursery school
teacher, complained about the modeling clay she used in
class -- it wasnt malleable. McVicker knew his product was
safe for kids and that it was pliable, so he gave her some
wallpaper cleaner to take to school. The kids loved it.
The school board bought some for the elementary
classrooms, and soon after, a Washington, D.C., department
store started selling off-white Play-Doh. The following
year, in 1956, Play-Doh was produced in earnest. In 1957,
Rainbow Crafts Co. -- the company McVickers started --
came out with red, blue and yellow clays, with white being
added in 1958. General Mills purchased
the company in 1965. In 1970, Rainbow
Crafts was merged into General Mills
Kenner Products. Tonka Co. purchased
Kenner in 1987, and Play-Dohs current
owner, Hasbro, purchased Tonka in
1991.
Q: I just went through my music
library and found an old CD by Steve
and Eydie. What happened to this
talented couple? -- J.M., Preston, Md.
A: Steve and Eydie is the duo of
Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.
While both performed successfully as
soloists, they teamed up as a duo when
they married in 1957, first performing
together in 1960.
Steve and Eydie have continued to
perform over the years, receiving many
awards, including Grammys and an
Emmy. Eydie retired in 2010 due to health
issues.
Eydie was born Edith Gormezano in
1928; Steve was born Sidney Leibowitz in 1935.

By Bernice Bede Osol
Dear An-
nie: Cremation
seems to be get-
ting more popu-
lar, but advisory
notices from the
cremation soci-
eties all say that
there is at pres-
ent no way of
extracting DNA
from cremains.
I feel the
funeral homes
should be ob-
ligated to pre-
serve a DNA
sample, even if it is a lock of
hair. Some years ago, a wom-
an named Anna Anderson
claimed, probably sincerely,
that she was Grand Duch-
ess Anastasia from the Czar-
ist Romanov family. A DNA
sample proved otherwise. She
had been cremated, and no
one ever would have known
the truth, but fortunately, a
body part from an earlier op-
eration had been preserved.
I realize that was an un-
usual case, but it did solve
a mystery, and there may be
others waiting to be solved.
Perhaps people could make
a provision in their will that
a DNA sample be preserved.
P.J.
Dear P.J.: You are correct
that DNA is destroyed dur-
ing the cremation process.
However, we dont neces-
sarily agree that the burden
of extracting a DNA sample
should belong to the funeral
homes, and a provision in a
will would be heard too late.
In potential criminal cases,
the police handle it. Other-
wise, if someone wants their
DNA preserved, they can do
it on their own or notify fam-
ily members to take a sample
before consigning the body to
the funeral home.
Dear Annie: Many years
ago, I was raped. Back then,
there werent any rape coun-
selors. I confded in my sister
but never reported it. I learned
to live through it.
A few years later, I was
stunned to see this same man
at my nephews college gradu-
ation party. I told my sister this
was the man who had raped
me. She said she had never seen
Nick display any violent ten-
dencies, and that she and her
husband had many business
dealings with him.
He then showed up at her
place for another party. His
presence brought
back all of my
suppressed fears.
I was frightened,
cried and left,
but not before I
shared my experi-
ence with my two
grown nephews.
My sister was
livid that I told
her sons about the
rape. I said they
deserve to know
who their parents
friends are. Nick
was chummy with
my nephews, and it made me
sick.
My fears began to fade
when I learned that Nick was
moving out of state. My hus-
band and I also moved away.
My sister never confronted
Nick about me. But when I
came back to visit a few years
ago, I saw pictures of her 50th
birthday party, and there was
Nick, seated with her family,
having a great time.
My sister is now 68.
Looking through her Face-
book page, I saw Nick in sev-
eral recent photos of her with
her friends. I am terribly upset
that she continues to associ-
ate with this man and appar-
ently doesnt care how I feel.
How do I work through this? I
dont want to ruin my friend-
ship with my sister. Still
Scared
Dear Still: Your sister pre-
fers to deny that Nick raped
you, because it allows her to
maintain a relationship with a
man with whom she has busi-
ness dealings. Its good that
you have moved far enough
away to limit contact. We also
suggest you steer clear of her
Facebook page, where you
are likely to see photographs
of Nick. But please know
that it is never too late to get
counseling. Contact RAINN
(rainn.org) and ask to speak
to someone.
Dear Annie: I agree with
your response to Worried
that he shouldnt be so upset
about his girlfriends risk-
taking behavior based on her
age.
However, I wish you had
addressed the issue of the la-
dys constantly changing the
meeting times. This shows
a total lack of respect and
consideration for her partner.
This relationship will not last
based on this issue alone.

SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 2014
You will have to streamline your
agenda this year. Although its exciting
to have varied interests, you must
narrow your focus to address the most
important challenges. If you keep your
commitments to a minimum, you will
find it easier to reach your goals.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- An
encounter with an old friend may open
up past wounds. Get any issues out in
the open and clear the air. Put history
behind you, and move on.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You
may feel that no matter what you do,
you arent getting any farther ahead.
Dont expect others to be sympathetic.
Rather than complain, plug away until
you reach your goal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
There are many interesting events
underway that wont break your
budget. Include the ones you love in
your plans. Put aside any demands
that are weighing you down and have
some fun.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Expect someone to break a promise
or let you down. Even though you are
disappointed, resist the urge to seek
revenge. Chalk it up to experience
and continue to do your own thing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
You can make a valuable connection.
The time is right to share your skills
and ideas. Collaborating with an
unusual partner will result in a new
moneymaking venture.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is
no need to be confined to doing the
same thing over and over again. Be
inventive, use your imagination and
be open to new experiences.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You
need a change at home, but before
getting started on an improvement
project, you should consult those
who share your space. You may end
up undoing what has already been
completed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Love is on the rise. Be alert to what
is happening around you. Dont
reveal personal information up front.
Someone may be trying to sabotage
your plans.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Believe in what you do. There will
always be someone who tries to
change your opinion or criticize your
ideas. Welcome any helpful advice
and ignore the negative remarks.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Stay close to home, where you
feel safe and comfortable. Giving in
to emotional vulnerability in social
settings will lower your confidence.
A minor disagreement can escalate
rapidly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Follow up on any financial leads
that manifest themselves. A profitable
investment is likely if you play your
cards right. Listen carefully to any
complaints, and be honest about your
feelings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Positive changes are heading your
way. Your talents and capabilities are
gaining momentum and attention.
Taking on too much at once will be
your downfall. Pick and choose wisely.

Senators reach deal extending jobless benefits
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Bipartisan Senate bargain-
ers ended a long-running election-season standoff
and struck a compromise renewing expired jobless
benefits for five months for more than 2 million
Americans who have been out of work the longest,
the lawmakers said Thursday.
Approval of the $9.7 billion measure seemed
likely by the Democratic-led Senate when it returns
in late March from a weeklong recess. That would
throw the issue into the Republican-run House,
where its fate seemed uncertain.
The parties have dueled over the issue since late
last year and it has become fodder for this years
congressional elections. The two sides are compet-
ing to show they are trying to create jobs and help
families support themselves in the aftermath of the
Great Recession of 2007-2009.
As the stalemate dragged on, Democrats
backed by President Barack Obama had said
opposition by most Republicans to extending the
emergency benefits showed GOP indifference
toward helping those suffering most from that
recession. Republicans said they wanted an exten-
sion that was fully paid for and which improved
government programs for supporting the jobless
and helping them find work.
Two leaders of the negotiations Sens. Jack
Reed, D-R.I., and Dean Heller, R-Nev. said in a
statement that the deal would be retroactive to Dec.
28, when the emergency benefits program expired.
Were not at the finish line yet, but this is a
bipartisan breakthrough, Reed said.
Heller expressed satisfaction that Democrats
and Republicans have come together on a proposal
that will finally give Americans certainty about
their unemployment benefits.
Rhode Island had an unemployment rate in
December of 9.3 percent, while Nevadas was 9
percent the two worst rates in the nation.
White House spokesman Jay Carney urged
Congress to help the long-term unemployed by
approving the compromise, saying, This is not
just the right thing to do for these Americans
looking for work, its the right thing to do for our
economy.
Lawmakers said the proposal was fully paid for,
with the bulk of the money raised by extending
some customs fees through 2024 and changing how
some companies set aside money for pensions, in
effect increasing their taxes. More federal revenue
would be raised by letting some companies make
earlier payments to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corp., which guarantees workers pensions.
The deal would end jobless payments to people
earning more than $1 million a year, similar to a
provision sought by Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.,
and John Tester, D-Mont. The lawmakers cited
2010 data showing that 0.03 percent of taxpayers
earned over $1 million and received some form of
federal or state unemployment benefits.
Congress clears bill to
ease flood insurance hikes
By ANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Less
than two years after passing
major legislation aimed at
reforming the governments
much-criticized flood insur-
ance program, Congress
on Thursday sent President
Barack Obama a bill to scale
back many of the result-
ing big flood insurance pre-
mium increases faced by
hundreds of thousands of
homeowners. The measure
would also allow below-
market insurance rates to be
passed on to people buying
homes with taxpayer-subsi-
dized policies.
The measure breezed
through the Senate and on
to Obamas desk by a 72-22
vote. The House passed the
measure last week.
The legislation signifi-
cantly rewrites a major
overhaul of the flood insur-
ance program that passed
almost unanimously in
2012. Those 2012 chang-
es were aimed at weaning
hundreds of thousands of
homeowners off of subsi-
dized rates and required
extensive updating of the
flood maps used to set pre-
miums. But its implemen-
tation has stirred anxiety
among many homeowners
along the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts and in flood plains,
many of whom are threat-
ened with unaffordable rate
increases.
Sen. Mary Landrieu,
D-La., said the White House
has indicated Obama will
sign the measure into law
despite earlier administra-
tion reservations about
a Senate-passed bill that
would have delayed imple-
mentation of the 2012 law.
While it is important to
put this program on sound
financial footing, middle-
class families should be able
to afford the insurance they
need to stay in their homes,
White House spokesman
Bobby Whithorne said.
Thursdays bill was
written by House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va.,
and Rep. Michael Grimm,
R-N.Y., with input from
Democrats like Rep. Maxine
Waters of California, whose
votes were critical to House
passage last week.
The bill would repeal a
provision in the 2012 law
that threatens hundreds of
thousands of homeowners
with huge premium increas-
es under new and updated
government flood maps.
Their properties were origi-
nally built to code but were
subsequently found to be
at greater flood risk. Such
grandfathered homeown-
ers currently benefit from
below-market rates that are
subsidized by other policy-
holders, and the new legis-
lation would preserve that
status and cap premium
increases at 18 percent a
year. The 2012 reforms
required premiums increas-
es to actuarially sound rates
over five years.
Another provision,
eagerly sought by the real
estate industry, would allow
home sellers to pass tax-
payer-subsidized policies on
to the people buying their
homes instead of requiring
purchasers to pay actuarial-
ly sound rates immediately,
as required by the 2012 law.
The new rates are particu-
larly high in older coastal
communities in states like
Florida, Massachusetts and
New Jersey, and have put
a damper on home sales as
prospective buyers recoil at
the higher, multifold pre-
mium increases.
Anger over the higher
rates has fueled a biparti-
san drive to delay or derail
many of the 2012 changes
and the political urgency to
provide relief from higher
premiums was especially
felt in states like Louisiana,
Florida, and New York.
Trade group: Americans
spent $56 billion on pets
By SUE MANNING
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Dogs and cats have
become part of the American family inner circle
over the last 20 years, sleeping in their own
beds or yours, eating food bought specially to
help their digestive tracts, drinking purified
water and cuddling up in chairs on heated pads
made to fend off arthritis.
Some pets have their own vets, groomers,
trainers, sitters and occasional walkers. All this
suggests a bright future for an industry that has
grown alongside the popularity of pets, expand-
ing at a steady 4 percent to 6 percent a year
since the American Pet Products Association
started record-keeping in 1996.
Americans spent an all-time high $55.7
billion on their pets last year and spending will
creep close to $60 billion this year, association
president and CEO Bob Vetere told buyers and
exhibitors at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando,
Fla., on Thursday.
The biggest chunk of spending in 2013
$21.6 billion went for food a lot of it
more expensive, healthier grub. In 1996, total
pet spending was just $21 billion. Adjusted for
inflation, thats $31.3 billion.
The humanization of our pets started about
20 years ago, Vetere said in a telephone inter-
view. As pets accepted their new perch in the
family, manufacturers introduced products that
helped animals move from the backyard to the
front room.
What is feeding a large part of the growth
now are the baby boomers who have become
empty-nesters and are looking for some other
ways to find the love and affection they used to
get from their kids, Vetere said.
In the past, children were a reflection of
us and people are now extending that to their
pets, said Dr. Jessica Vogelsang, a San Diego
veterinarian who owns the website pawcurious.
com. People dont just bring their pets in for
health reason anymore they also want them
to look good and smell good, she said. From
my perspective, its a good thing. Its nice to see
people care as deeply as they do.
People have always spent more on food
than any other pet spending category and pet
food trends follow human food and diet trends,
according to Vetere.
That means if you are on a health kick,
chances are your pet is too.
Food choices are extraordinarily confus-
ing, Vogelsang said. I think people spend
more time in the dog food aisle than they do in
the rest of the store.
Sales numbers show owners are buying
more age-specific, breed-specific, vitamin-
infused or additive-enhanced foods, Vetere said.
Dave Bolen is president and CEO of Pet
Supplies Plus, a chain of 294 specialty stores in
24 eastern states. His 25-years-old business has
expanded every year it opened eight stores
in 2013 and plans to open 30 this year.
We are bullish about pet ownership, he
said.
It can only get better, Bolen added, as people
discover all the healthy benefits of owning pets.
Other spending last year included $14.4
billion for veterinary care; $13.1 billion for sup-
plies and over-the-counter medicines; $2.2 bil-
lion for live animal purchases; and $4.4 billion
for other services.
Those services include grooming, boarding,
training and pet-sitting and grew by the largest
percentage last year 6.1 percent.

KUALA LUMPUR,
Malaysia A Malaysia Airlines
plane sent signals to a satellite for
four hours after the aircraft went
missing, an indication that it was
still flying for hundreds of miles
or more, a U.S. official briefed on
the search said Thursday.
Six days after the plane with
239 people aboard disappeared,
Malaysian authorities expanded
their search westward toward
India, saying the aircraft may
have flown for several hours after
its last contact with the ground
shortly after takeoff from Kuala
Lumpur for Beijing.
A string of previous clues
about Flight MH370 have led
nowhere.
MH370 went completely
silent over the open ocean,
said Malaysias acting Transport
Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.
This is a crisis situation. It is a
very complex operation, and it is
not obviously easy. We are devot-
ing all our energies to the task at
hand.

Russian troops engage in
war games near Ukraine
By MIKE ECKEL and VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV
Associated Press
SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine Russia conducted new military
maneuvers near its border with Ukraine on Thursday, and
President Vladimir Putin said the world shouldnt blame his
country for what he called Ukraines internal crisis.
In Crimea, where the public will vote on Sunday whether
to break away from Ukraine and become part of Russia, jittery
residents lined up at their banks to withdraw cash from their
accounts amid uncertainty over the future of the peninsula,
which Russian troops now control. Violence engulfed the east-
ern Donetsk region, where violent clashes between pro-Russia
demonstrators and supporters of the Ukrainian government left
at least one person dead.
These people are afraid their bank will collapse and no one
wants to lose their money, said resident Tatiana Sivukhina.
Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov plan to meet in London today in a last-
ditch bid to end the international standoff over the Crimean
referendum, which Ukraine and the West have rejected as
illegitimate.
In Berlin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel sharply criti-
cized Russia, saying the territorial integrity of Ukraine cannot
be compromised.
Speaking to Germanys Parliament, Merkel said Russia
risks massive political and economic consequences, if it
does not enter into negotiations that achieve results over the
situation in Ukraine.
Death toll in NYC gas explosion climbs to 8
By JONATHAN LEMIRE
and VERENA DOBNIK
Associated Press
NEW YORK Rescue workers using dogs
and thermal-detection gear to search rubble for
more victims of a gas explosion found an eighth
body on Thursday while investigators tried to
pinpoint the leak and determine whether it had
anything to do with the citys aging gas and
water mains, some from the 1800s.
At least five people were unaccounted for
after the deafening blast Wednesday morning
destroyed two five-story East Harlem apartment
buildings that were served by an 1887 cast-iron
gas main. More than 60 people were injured.
Fire and utility officials said that if the build-
ings were plagued in recent days or weeks by
strong gas odors, as some tenants claimed, they
have no evidence anyone reported it before
Wednesday.
National Transportation Safety Board team
member Robert Sumwalt said the gas main and
distribution pipe under the street had been exam-
ined in a crater and were found to be intact, with
no obvious punctures or ruptures. They had not
been torn from the ground, he said.
However, he said NTSB investigators had
been unable to conduct a fuller examination
because of the rescue effort underway, and it
was unclear whether the leak came from inside
or outside the buildings.
He said there had also been a water main
break at the site, but it was unknown if that con-
tributed to the gas explosion or was caused by it.
The water main was installed in 1897, according
to the city.
Authorities also hoped to reach the base-
ment still under rubble to examine heat-
ing units, meters and other equipment that
might hold clues to the blast, fire department
Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said: We can only get
conclusive evidence when the fire is out, when
the rescue is completed, and we really get a
chance to look at all the facts.
Aging infrastructure crumbling bridges,
highways, water mains and gas lines has
become a major concern in recent years, espe-
cially in older cities in the Northeast, and has
been blamed for explosions, floods and other
accidents.
We know this is a fundamental challenge for
New York City and any older city, de Blasio
said. But he said the federal government needs
to provide more aid to cities to deal with the
problem.
As cold, stiff winds blew across the still-
smoldering debris, construction equipment with
iron jaws picked up the rubble, first depositing it
on the pavement, then hoisting it onto trucks that
hauled it away. Clouds of thick smoke swirled
over Park Avenue.
Officials said workers were about 40 percent
to 50 percent through the rubble, using sound
devices and putting telescopic video cameras
into small voids to see if there is someone in
there.
Its a team effort the
wonderful people in the
community, the passionate
volunteers, the outstanding
customers and the social
services staff and it all
has to work together.
The majority of the
shops revenues goes
towards helping the com-
munity with everyday
expenses, Strayer stated.
If we can help one person
to better their life, then
everything weve done to
get to that point is well
worth it.

appointment or to make a
