Putnam County ranks 2nd healthiest in state

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com Putnam County was once again ranked as the second-healthiest of Ohios 88 counties. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin has again compiled its County Health Rankings, a tool it have developed so that counties can see how their health ranks with that of other counties in the state. Ohio and county data are now on the County Health Rankings website countyhealthrankings.org. These rankings have been released annually since 2010. Each year, the Health Rankings reveal rankings in Health Outcomes, which includes the length and quality of life; as well as Health Factors that take into consideration health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors and physical environment. Counties were ranked according to certain criteria. Premature death rates, poor or fair health, poor physical or mental health days and low birthweight were considered as health outcomes. Putnam County ranks 2nd highest in Health Outcomes and 9th in Health Factors. Allen County ranks 39th highest in Health Outcomes and 66th in Health Factors. Allen County is losing ground as it was ranked 35th highest last year. Compared to the other Ohio counties, Van Wert County is a little healthier than a year ago. The county moved from the 26th healthiest county in Ohio to the 24th healthiest. It was ranked 27th healthiest in 2012. Allen Countys rankings are no surprise for county health officials. This is one measure we can use to see how we compare with other communities in Ohio and to gauge if we are addressing the real issues

Freshmen Experience a truly educational day

Information submitted Freshmen members of the Delphos FFA spent a day on the farm or at a local agribusiness to enhance their education and appreciation of the various sectors of the agricultural industry. The experience teaches students about realworld agriculture and allows them to apply skills and techniques learned in the classroom. Freshmen Experience is an excellent way for students to experience what we are teaching them in the classroom and also for them to start to develop a Supervised Agriculture Experience Program. They gain hands-on experience needed to be well-informed and establish a good work ethic, Agricultural Education Instructor Scott Elwer said. FFA members worked hand-in-hand with 16 local farms and business from the Delphos area for the day. Whether it was a seed dealer, vet, swine, beef or dairy farm, students gained knowledge of what it is like working on a daily basis in the agricultural industry. The Ag Ed Department would like to thank all the Freshmen Experience hosts for their cooperation and assistance in putting this program together. Without the help of these individuals and businesses, the freshmen experience program would not be possible.

Wheat can survive harsh winter

JAMES HOORMAN Putnam County Extension Ag Educator The following article was written by Ed Lentz, Hancock County Extension Educator. It has been a very cold winter and the Extension office has received calls asking about the effects the extreme cold weather has had on the wheat crop. Winter wheat is a coolseason grass that can tolerate fairly harsh weather conditions. Wheat hardens in the fall to acclimate to cold conditions. This hardening period is variety-dependent and occurs when plants are exposed to temperatures between 30 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit followed by slowly declining soil temperatures. After hardening, wheat can tolerate temperatures between zero and 10. The reason why wheat can survive these cold temperatures is because the growing point (cells that produce new growth) are below the soil surface until warmer conditions arrive in spring. Extreme cold may still kill the growing point if soil temperatures drop below these critical levels. Did we drop below these critical temperatures after several days of air temperature between minus 10 and minus 20 degrees? Do not forget that we had abundant snow cover during these periods of extreme cold and snow is a great insulator. Although air temperatures were below zero, soil temperatures remained in the upper 20s to lower 30s. Loss of stand generally occurs during the winter months from extended periods of standing water or ice on exposed plants rather than extreme cold. The crown (lower stems) respires (breathes) during the winter months and do not go completely dormant (though the rate is greatly reduced with lower temperatures). Plants covered with standing water or ice for an extended period basically suffocate to a point they become weakened and often die. Generally these periods of standing water or ice occur during late fall before winter conditions change from rain to snow, mid-winter thaw periods or as the snow melts in late winter. Another time that wheat stands may become damaged and lose plants is during the freeze-thaw conditions of late winter. If a farmer planted wheat too shallow, the crowns may become pushed above the soil surface during this freeze-thaw process. The exposed crowns and upper roots may become desiccated from drying winds, which may cause death of plants. Farmers describe plants as being pushed out of the ground exposing the roots; agronomists call this heaving damage. Farmers may have unwisely planted shallower last fall because of a late planting date or improper setting of the drill. Wheat should be planted 1.5 inches deep to lessen the risk of heaving damage. Fields should be assessed this spring for loss of stand. However, fields should not be evaluated until completely green from warmer temperatures for at least 10 to 14 days. Stand evaluations will be more accurate when made during weather periods that promote growth. Select about 10 to 15 spots in a field for evaluation. Count the number of plants per foot of row. A stand with an average of about 12 plants per foot of row should still result in a good population of headbearing tillers per acre. Fifteen tillers per square foot is considered the minimum and yield potential will be reduced if tiller numbers fall below 25 per square foot after green up. See WHEAT, page 10

Iberdrola Renewables donates $7,000 to new rabbit barn

Information submitted VAN WERT The Van Wert Youth Rabbit Exhibitors and the Rabbit Barn Committee recently celebrated Iberdrola Renewables donation of $7,000 to fund the installation of the electrical system for a new rabbit barn at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds. The building has housed many different animals over the years but has been the home of the County Fair Rabbit Exhibits for the past five decades. In recent history, an average of 600 rabbits by 110 junior fair exhibitors have moved into the barn for the fair. In 2013, it was one of the largest exhibits with 114 exhibitors who showed 640 total rabbits in the barn. We are delighted to help with this new building and potentially have an impact that could last for another 120 years at the venerable Van Wert County Fairgrounds, said Iberdrola Renewables project developer Dan Litchfield. It was a natural fit for us to help with the electrical system here, as we are in the area to help harvest the wind that howls over everyones

properties and convert it to usable electricity. Each of our turbines can capture up to 2,700 horsepower from the wind and generate about 5 million kilowatt-hours per year, enough for about 500 average Ohio houses. We are hoping to build another wind farm in Van Wert County and would like to see wind turbines continue to proliferate almost as quickly as rabbits. The new rabbit barn will take a tradition western prairie shape, similar to many of the other livestock barns on the fairgrounds. It will measure 120 feet by 60 feet, which is similar to the present rabbit barn.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Political instability in Ukraine coupled with potential freeze damage to winter wheat in the United States and a deepening drought in some major wheat producing countries are conspiring to significantly drive up wheat prices, economists say. U.S. Wheat Associates, the industrys trade group, said in a recent report that concern over the political situation in Ukraine which

supplies 6 percent of the worlds wheat export market was one of the factors for the price spikes. Crimea accounted last year for about 7 percent of Ukraines grain exports. The Black Sea region is one of the worlds major wheat producing areas, with Russian wheat alone accounting for almost 11 percent of the worlds export market. See PRICES, page 10

Buckeyes seek replacement for RB Carlos Hyde

Associated Press COLUMBUS Itll be difficult for Ohio State to replace Carlos Hyde. All the senior did a year ago for the Buckeyes was rush for 1,521 yards and 15 touchdowns in just 11 games, becoming the first running back to top 1,000 yards in Urban Meyers 12 years as a head coach. Although it might be hard finding someone to fill his spot, that doesnt mean it wont get done. Someone has to step up and fill the shoes of Carlos Hyde, running backs coach Stan Drayton said after a recent spring practice. If it takes more than one guy to do that, I promise you its going to get done. There are several candidates in Ohio States spring camp. Ezekiel Elliott, the leading returning rusher at running back with 262 yards on only 30 carries, would seem to have the inside track. I just think that Im a very versatile back, I can do a lot of things, said the sophomore, a prized recruit from St. Louis. I can run to the outside, I can run a tight zone, Im a great pass catcher out of the back field. I think I just bring a little versatility to the table. Elliott says hes bulked up, gotten stronger and faster and knows the playbook far better than he did a year ago. But there are still moments when he looks and acts like the youngster he is. Which is unfortunate, said offensive coordinator Tom Herman. The other three possibilities in spring camp all have some baggage. Rod Smith, a prototypical Ohio State big back at 6-3 and 232 pounds, is a fifth-year senior who has had chances to play more but has never really grasped them. He did well at the outset of last year while Hyde was serving a 3-game team suspension for a physical confrontation with a woman at a bar. But after Hyde became available, he seldom saw the field. He has some skills to display this spring. Just that I can do everything that Carlos did: Break tackles, make the home-run plays, pass protection, he explained. At the end of the day, be accountable, be a leader. Also in the conversation is third-year sophomore Brionte Dunne, an acclaimed recruit out of football hotbed Canton, who dropped from hot commodity to just another contender for playing time. A year ago, he was redshirted. Asked if he thinks hes in the mix to start this fall, he replied, Oh, yeah. Of course. Everybodys in the mix right now. Theres really no depth chart right now for the running backs. So everybodys just going hard and trying to fight for the spot. Warren Ball, a former walkon, is also getting carries, as is freshman Curtis Samuel, who graduated early from his high school in Brooklyn, N.Y., to play spring ball with the Buckeyes. Dontre Wilson, who played well in limited action as a ball carrier as a freshman, is working out with the receivers group as an H-back, a hybrid between a wide-out and a running back. Instead of one go-to guy like Hyde at the position, it just might end up being several backs, taking turns. No matter the eventual starter, Drayton is adamant that the position is a high priority. Im extremely confident that were going to get to where we need to be, added Drayton. Theyre trying to be the hardest working unit on the football field and I really see them trying to do that. If they keep that mindset and keep that unselfishness in their back pocket somewhere, were definitely going to exceed our goals. I really believe that.

A guide to the NCAA regionals

By JOHN MARSHALL Associated Press Just when you think the first weekend of the NCAA tournament couldnt possibly top itself, it happened again. Last years ride was a wild one, filled with massive upsets that blew up brackets and spectacular performances that made it one of the most entertaining starts in tournament history. This years version was even better, the best weekend on the sports calendar starting with most of the brackets blown out on the first game of the first full day and including a four-point play to send a game to overtime. Now that weve had time to catch our breath, its time to hold on tight again with the regional rounds up next. Heres some of what to keep an eye on: ___ THE BIG BOYS Florida. Gators were the No. 1 overall seed and did nothing to diminish that. Arizona. That defensive performance against Gonzaga has to be causing some sweaty palms among the other 15 teams still left. Michigan State. Izzo and the Spartans Storm the Sweet 16, Part XII. Louisville. Defending national champs on another roll. Virginia. Cavaliers have proven the ACC sweep and No. 1 seeding were deserved. ___ THE UPSTARTS Dayton. Archie Miller has the Flyers flying high, just like big brother Seans Arizona Wildcats. Tennessee. Vols arent exactly a midmajor, but they are a bit of a surprise to get this deep after having to sweat out Selection Sunday. Stanford. See above. San Diego State. Aztecs appear to be on the verge of a huge breakthrough. Kentucky. We know, the team with the second-most national titles in history is no upstart, but Coach Cal and his latest crop of NBAers-in-waiting had to claw their way into the bracket after some shaky moments during the regular season. ___ THE PLAYERS Nick Johnson, Arizona. Great 2-way player and leader whos already pulling down All-America honors. Russ Smith, Louisville. Like Johnson, hes a finalist for the Naismith Award. DeAndre Kane, Iowa State. Kane has been the king through the first two rounds of the bracket. Kyle Anderson, UCLA. A 6-9 point guard who can rebound, score and facilitate. Shabazz Napier, UConn. A shorter version of Anderson from the East. Nik Stauskas, Michigan. Best pure shooter left in the bracket. ___ TOP MATCHUPS Kentucky-Louisville, Friday in Indianapolis. The Bluegrass rivals have had some great games in the past. This one could be epic. Florida-UCLA, today in Memphis. Two power programs at the top of their games. Baylor-Wisconsin, today in Anaheim, Calif. The clash of styles is going to be fun to watch. Arizona-San Diego State, today in Anaheim. The Wildcats won an earlier meeting this season. Both teams may be

College athletes can unionize, federal agency says CHICAGO In a stunning ruling that could revolutionize college sports, a federal agency ruled Wednesday that football players at Northwestern University can create the nations first union of college athletes. The decision by a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board means it agrees football players at the Big Ten school qualify as employees under federal law and therefore can legally unionize. Based on the entire record in this case, I find that the Employers football players who receive scholarships fall squarely within (federal labor laws) broad definition of employee, Peter Sung Ohr, the NLRB regional director, wrote in his 24-page decision. An employee is generally regarded by law as someone who receives compensation for a service and is under the direct control of managers. Players argued that their scholarships are compensation and coaches are their managers. The Evanston, Ill-based university argued college athletes, as students, dont fit in the same category as factory workers, truck drivers and other unionized workers. Immediately after the ruling, the school announced it plans to appeal to labor authorities in Washington, D.C. Alan Cubbage, Northwesterns vice president for university relations, wrote in a statement that while the school respects the NLRB process and the regional directors opinion, we disagree with it. The specific goals of the College Athletes Players Association, or CAPA, which would take the lead in organizing the players, include guaranteeing coverage of sportsrelated medical expenses for current and former players, ensuring better procedures to reduce head injuries and potentially letting players pursue commercial sponsorships. But critics have argued that giving college athletes employee status and allowing them to unionize could hurt college sports in numerous ways, including by raising the prospects of strikes by disgruntled players or lockouts by athletic departments. For now, the push is to unionize athletes at private schools, such as Northwestern, because the federal labor agency does not have jurisdiction over public universities. Outgoing Wildcats quarterback Kain Colter took a leading role in establishing CAPA. The United Steelworkers union has been footing the legal bills. Colter, whose eligibility has been exhausted and who has entered the NFL draft, said nearly all of the 85 scholarship players on the Wildcats roster backed the union bid, though only he expressed his support publicly. CAPA attorneys argued that college football is, for all practical purposes, a commercial enterprise that relies on players labor to generate billions of dollars in profits. That, they contend, makes the relationship of schools to players one of employers to employees. In its endeavor to have college football players be recognized as essential workers, CAPA likened scholarships to employment pay too little pay from its point of view. Northwestern balked at that claim, describing scholarship as grants. The NCAA has been under increasing scrutiny over its amateurism rules and is fighting a class-action federal lawsuit by former players seeking a cut of the billions of dollars earned from live broadcasts, memorabilia sales and video games. Other lawsuits allege the NCAA failed to protect players from debilitating head injuries. NCAA President Mark Emmert has pushed for a $2,000-per-player stipend to help athletes defray some of expenses. Critics say that isnt nearly enough, considering players help bring in millions of dollars to their schools and conferences.

Hear, hear, for sportsmanship!

Floridas Alex Murphy is the son of Jay Murphy, who played four NBA seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers and Washington Bullets from 1984-88.

By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com I liked how two legendary college basketball coaches handled recent failures in last weekends NCAA Mens March Madness. Dukes Coach K (cause no one can spell Krzyzewski without looking it up!) and North Carolinas Roy Williams handled their losses with class. Coach K went into the locker room to congratulate Mercer for how well it played during that second-round contest. I may not be a Duke fan but everyone should appreciate class when they see it. After the Tar Heels controversial I think the referees got it right, even though I had UNC making it to the Elite 8 in my bracket (darn it!) loss to Iowa State because of a snafu with the clock in the last two seconds, Williams simply accepted the explanation by the referees, congratulated The Mayor, Fred Hoiberg, and refused to blame the officials in the post-game press conference. There have been some that werent as gracious in their assessment, though they werent vicious at all. Mostly, it was mild; quite frankly, it was a not-very-controversial controversy after all. Sportsmanship is not dead! Some can, some cant. I refer to the recent release by the New York J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets! of erstwhile quarterback and resident pretty boy Mark

Sanchez. Sanchez basically did not play this year due to injury and lost his job to Geno Smith or will it be newly-signed Michael Vick under center come September? In all honesty, Sanchez was a victim of the circus known as the New York media market. He had a great pedigree, coming out of the California surfer dude mentality that is the University of Southern California usually a pretty good football team, too, until the last few years with the fiasco that was Pete Carroll, Reggie Bush and Lane Kiffin. However, he just never really seemed accepted in the Big Apple, a market that can chew up and spit up even the best. He was never given due credit for taking the Jets to the 2009 and 10 AFC Championship games. Lets face it: the defense led by Revis and Company got most of the ink, as did a certain head coach who will not be named but whose initials are Rex Ryan! Lets give credit where credit is due: Rex can coach the living daylights out of the defensive side but his offense is, well, somewhat offensive. He had to face even more ridiculous scrutiny when the Jets brought in Tim Tebow to do what? Then throw in the problems the team had putting weapons around him look at the moves they have made in free agency and likely the draft to surround Geno with better weapons. I write all this as one who is not a Jets fan if you think this is bad, you ought to read my mind about what I truly think about Mr. Jerry Jones! You will need counseling afterward! I just feel bad for a guy who is an NFL quarterback but, unfortunately, will more likely be remembered for the famous or is it infamous? Butt Fumble that was the star replay on ESPN for a ton of weeks. Here is my guess: Sanchez only 27 will take a pay cut to play somewhere more out of the media spotlight and he will get back to his first two years success and even more. Hey, Dallas never mind. I wonder if he could handle THAT?

Masters field nearing completion

By DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. The Texas Open is the last chance for players to crack the top 50 in the world ranking and earn a spot in the Masters. The drama is lacking this year. Richard Sterne is No. 53 and George Coetzee is No. 55 except theyre not in the field at San Antonio. The only players at the Valero Texas Open who can move into the top 50 are Chesson Hadley (No. 56) and Ryan Palmer (No. 62). Everyone else who could make it to the top 50 would have to win and thats an automatic invitation, anyway. Without any movement, Stephen Gallacher of Scotland (who won Dubai) is the only player who will have moved into the top 50 since the end of last year. Augusta National began relying on the world ranking in 2000, only it was slightly different. The top 50 at the end of the preceding year received invitations, along with the top 50 a month before the Masters. Starting in 2003, the final cutoff was moved to one week before the Masters. The club has never explained why it takes the top 50 at the end of a calendar year. Perhaps its so players can make travel arrangements, or perhaps it was to give an advantage to overseas players, who compete deep into the year. PGA Tour members have more avenues to qualify throughout the season. But imagine what would happen if there was only one cutoff for the top 50 in the world, and it followed the Florida swing. Matteo Manassero (51), Branden Grace (57), David Lynn (65) and Peter Hanson (70) all were in the top 50 in December. They would have spent the Florida swing trying to stay in the top 50 or move back in. That change might be something for Augusta National to consider if it feels the field is getting too close to 100 players. As it is, the Masters virtually is assured of having fewer than 100 players for the 48th straight year. But just barely.
Course at Ohio State. He won six tournaments his last year at Alabama-Birmingham. Playing only for the individual medal, he had a 1-shot lead over Mahan, the best from Oklahoma State. I threw up all over myself in the last round, McDowell said. We were individuals because we played so well but our team was well back. That was the first time I played with him. Were playing together a bit more lately. Hes a great player. I enjoy playing with him. I love the way he hits it. McDowell closed with a 74 that day in Ohio. Mahan had a 72. Both were overtaken by Troy Matteson, who won the NCAA title with a 67. Mahans memory wasnt as clear. I dont remember much about that that, Mahan added. But I knew about Graeme because he was winning all these tournaments. And its kind of unusual to get some Irish kid at AlabamaBirmingham. DIVOTS: Nick Watney returns to work next week in the Shell Houston Open, his first tournament as a father. His wife, Amber, gave birth to their first child the day after the Cadillac Championship. They named their daughter Harper. Karrie Webb has won 11 times on the LPGA Tour (including a major) since her 2005 induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame. The 39-yearold Australian won in Phoenix for her 41st career LPGA title. A closed shop for the Hall of Fame: No one should have been more thrilled than Vijay Singh to hear about the voting changes for the World Golf Hall of Fame. Singh is already in. He was elected in 2005 with 56 percent of the vote from a panel that consisted mainly of golf writers, most of whom the big Fijian had blown off over the years. By then, Singh had 25 PGA Tour victories, three majors, two PGA Tour money titles and one Jack Nicklaus Award as player of the year. He is among the greats in the game. In sweeping changes announced Sunday, a 16-member panel with a majority of golf administrators now decides who gets in the Hall of Fame. Imagine them debating the merits of a guy who has an active and very acrimonious lawsuit against the PGA Tour over its anti-doping policy. We liked the old system, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said. But we like this one better. That would suggest the old system was working fine. And if something isnt broken, did it really need to be fixed?

FURYK FOUNDATION: Jim Furyk never minded showing up for a charity event, especially if another athlete asked him. Furyk said he had a harder time asking others to help him. Nevertheless, he assembled quite a crew last weekend for the fourth Furyk & Friends Concert and Celebrity Golf Classic at Sawgrass Country Club. He raised $450,000 at last count for the Jim and Tabitha Furyk Foundation, which serves needy children and families in the Jacksonville area. The event now has raised over $1.2 million since it began in 2011. Among those who participated were Reggie Jackson, Lynn Swann and Jerome Bettis, along with golfers Davis Love III, Zach Johnson and Justin Leonard. GMAC AND MAHAN: Graeme McDowell and Hunter Mahan have been paired twice in the last month the third round of the Match Play Championship and the third round at Bay Hill. They mainly are linked by the final match of the 2010 Ryder Cup, which McDowell won to clinch victory for Europe. But they go even further back than that. McDowell was asked Saturday if he had even blown a big lead and he could only think of the NCAA Championship in 2002 on the Scarlett

Hendrick ranks California as one of toughest defeats

By JENNA FRYER Associated Press CONCORD, N.C. It was a long cross-country flight home for Rick Hendrick after the team owner watched victory slip away for two of his drivers at Auto Club Speedway. Jimmie Johnson was leading in the closing laps until a tire failure sent him to pit road and cost him his first win of the season. His misfortune appeared to be Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordons gain, though, as Gordon inherited the lead from Johnson. But as Gordon cruised toward the finish line, a spin by Clint Bowyer with two laps remaining jumbled everything. Gordon restarted in traffic, had trouble on the restart and finished 13th. Johnson was 24th after leading a race-high 104 laps. Its hard. Those are really hard, Hendrick said. That was a rough ride home Sunday night, probably as disappointed as Ive ever been to have two cars so good and come away with nothing. Hendrick told reporters hed only felt worse once before, following the 2012 spring race at Martinsville, when both Johnson and Gordon were wrecked on a restart while lined up side-by-side set to race each other for the win. The two had dominated the race and were both vying to be the driver to give Hendrick Motorsports its 200th victory. On hand that day were the widows of Hendricks brother and a DuPont executive, who were at the track for the first time since 10 people were killed when a Hendrick plane crashed en route to Martinsville. The only race that I can remember that was as bad as (California) was Martinsville when the restart, we got both of them taken out, Hendrick said. There was just no way we were going to lose that race, and we did. By the time he landed in Charlotte late Sunday, Hendrick said he was already thinking about the next race, which is Sunday at Martinsville Speedway. Johnson and Gordon lead the series among active drivers with eight wins each at Martinsville and Gordon won there in October. Although both drivers are still seeking their first win of the year, Hendrick feels both will rebound from the disappointment of Fontana on Sunday. I can handle if you are fast and your cars are really strong and you are not searching for speed, you can kind of come back and write it off and say Thats racin, Hendrick added. But if you are coming home and you are running 15th and you dont know how to get in the top 10, then those are tough days. We didnt do anything wrong (at California). The breaks didnt go our way. ANNA de FERRAN: The daughter of 2003 Indianapolis 500 winner Gil de Ferran will sing God Bless America during pre-race ceremonies for Sundays season-opening IndyCar race. Anna de Ferran started writing and performing at the age of 13 in her native England. Now 19, her gig in St. Petersburg, Fla., this weekend will be the biggest of her career. Shell also sing some of her original songs on Saturday on the center stage in the IndyCar Fan Village. Although she was raised in the U.S., Anna was born in England and returned there when her father was sporting director for Honda in Formula One from 2005 through 2007. She and younger brother, Luke, remained in England to finish their education and Anna developed her love for music while attending school in Oxford. She started a band with some friends at 13 and sings in both Portuguese and English. She also features motorsports in her song Drive. ELVIS CAR: Icons from the worlds of NASCAR and music came together at Charlotte Motor Speedway this week when Dale Earnhardt Jr. unveiled one of Elvis Presleys most prized vehicles. The 1973 Stutz Blackhawk III is known to be the last car Elvis drove. He was photographed driving the car into the gates of Graceland just hours before he died. No one else had driven the car since that day until Earnhardt took it for a spin at Charlotte on Tuesday. The car was unveiled after undergoing an extensive preservation to restore it to the condition it was in when Elvis last drove it in 1976. It has never left Graceland. It has been there in the auto museum in Graceland. This car has not been run in 25 years, said Jack Soden, CEO of Elvis Presley Enterprises. If we had fully restored it, it would be a 1973 Stutz. But leaving that little bit of that DNA of Elvis the original seats in the condition they are in, little nicks here and there that makes it Elvis and we wanted to preserve that. The car will be on display during next weeks AutoFair at the speedway. Earnhardt considers himself a big Elvis fan and added hes got a room dedicated in his house for memorabilia hes collected much of it sent to him by fans. Hamlin cleared after metal removed from eye: A small piece of metal in his eye and not a sinus infection caused Denny Hamlin to miss last weeks race at California. Hamlin was not medically cleared to race last Sunday by doctors in the infield care center at Auto Club Speedway. He had visited the care center on Saturday and Sunday complaining of an irritation to his eye and it was determined at the track that it was related to a recent sinus infection Hamlin had suffered. Hamlin was referred to a local hospital for further evaluation and once there, a small piece of metal was found to be in Hamlins eye, Joe Gibbs Racing revealed in a statement Wednesday. The metal was removed and JGR said Hamlin felt immediate improvement. By then, the race at Fontana had already started and replacement driver Sam Hornish Jr. was behind the wheel of Hamlins No. 11 Toyota. Hamlin underwent further testing in California before he was cleared to fly home to North Carolina. He was evaluated in Charlotte on Monday and again on Wednesday, when it was determined he had no lingering issues with his vision and is cleared to race this weekend at Martinsville Speedway. Hamlin has four career victories at Martinsville and an average finish of eighth. The timeline of Hamlins diagnosis and revelation it was a piece of metal in his eye and not a sinus infection comes a day after Earnhardt called on NASCAR to release information regarding Hamlin not being cleared to race at California. Earnhardt, during an appearance Tuesday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, questioned why there had been no official NASCAR statement or further explanation from Hamlin on what happened. He was particularly interested because it is so unusual for a driver to be parked shortly before a race is about to begin. Earnhardt missed two races in 2012 after he suffered his second concussion in six weeks. He drove for weeks following the first concussion, which occurred while testing at Kansas Speedway. He was cleared to drive following that crash and the concussion was discovered after he wrecked again at Talladega.

During the NLRBs five days of hearings in February, Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald took the stand for union opponents; his testimony sometimes was at odds with Colters. Colter told the hearing that players performance on the field was more important to Northwestern than their in-class performance, saying, You fulfill the football requirement and, if you can, you fit in academics. Asked why Northwestern gave him a scholarship of $75,000 a year, he responded: To play football. To perform an athletic service. But Fitzgerald said he tells players academics come first, saying, We want them to be the best they can be to be a champion in life. An attorney representing the university, Alex Barbour, noted Northwestern has one of the highest graduation rates for college football players in the nation, around 97 percent. Barbour insisted, Northwestern is not a football factory. The NCAA says its disappointed by the ruling. The organization issued a statement on its website after Wednesdays landmark ruling, reading that the NCAA strongly disagrees that student-athletes are employees. It also says student-athletes play for the love of their sport, not to be paid. The NCAA added improvements are needed but there is no need to abandon the current system.

Dense breast tissue may call for further screening tests

DEAR DOCTOR K: After my last mammogram, the doctor told me I have dense breasts. Does this increase my risk of breast cancer? DEAR READER: A womans breast contains different types of tissue, including fat. Women with dense breasts have relatively less fat in their breasts. Specifically, if more than 50 percent of your breasts is made up of other breast tissue (as opposed to fat), then by definition you are said to have dense breasts. Its not uncommon: About 40 percent of women have dense breasts. Women with dense breasts have a slightly increased chance of developing breast cancer -- and dense breasts can make cancer harder to spot. Thats because both breast tissue and tumors appear white on a mammogram. Imagine looking at snowflakes on a black glove. Set against the dark fabric, you can make out some of the crystals in detail. Then, take those same flakes and put them in a bed of snow. Now it becomes difficult to distinguish the flakes from their background. That is the challenge radiologists face when trying to read the mammograms of a woman with dense breasts. (Ive put an image of how dense breast tissue and normal breast tissue appear on a mammogram on my website, AskDoctorK. com.) There now is a federal law in the United States that mammogram reports should always explicitly state whether a breast is dense or not. So should you have additional screening tests for breast cancer? The trouble is, no test can diagnose breast cancer with 100 percent accuracy, especially in women with dense breasts. And the additional tests that Im about to describe pick up a lot of false positives: The result looks like there might be cancer, requiring a biopsy that shows no cancer. Additional screening tests can also be costly. If you do decide to have further screening, here are some options to consider: -- Ultrasound. In September 2012, the FDA approved a new breast ultrasound system specifically for screening dense breasts. This ultrasound scans the entire breast using high-frequency sound waves and quickly produces several images. If you were going to have additional testing, your doctor most likely will recommend this ultrasound. -Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnets and radio waves to visualize the breasts. It would not normally be recommended just because a woman has dense breasts, because of the problem of falsepositive results. -Digital mammography sends X-ray images of the breast to a computer, rather than to film, making them easier to manipulate and interpret. A large study of nearly 50,000 women concluded that digital mammography

Caribbean on a cruise ship, I wondered if Sue had been intentionally starving me all these years. We never have midmorning pastries at home. She never serves a dessert with lunch. And where is our late afternoon slice of pizza? Where is our beforedinner margarita and bar nuts? Where are our four-course meals nightly with wine? We dont need a vacation; we need a chef. Im now wondering if it is possible for a human to go without food for three or even four hours. What will happen if we have to go five entire hours without something to eat? Surely that is just as deadly as eating the wrong part of the pufferfish. It wasnt until I saw how the other half ate that I realized how deprived I was. Why do I have to get up every morning and walk to the kitchen to have breakfast, when on the ship they brought it right to my room? I had the feeling they would cut it up and feed it to me if I had only thought to ask. Next time I will. Why waste my precious energy lifting a fork and a knife? For years Ive been trying to lose weight, watching what I eat, staying away from sweets, exercising, avoiding beer and liquor, always asking our hostess for just a half a slice, please when someone invited us out to dinner. Then when I get on board this ship, I realize that Im the only person on the planet whos doing that. Everyone else is having two of everything, snacking between meals, drinking liquor and beer, then doing it all over again the next day. And not only are they still alive, theyre wearing Speedos. I didnt know Speedos came in that size, I told Sue. She responded, Obviously, they dont. It is clear to me now that I have been doing this eating thing all wrong. When my doctor said I should be eating a Mediterranean diet, I thought he meant eat the way they do in southern Europe: more fish and vegetables, less meat; more olive oil, less butter. Clearly what he really meant was, Eat like youre on a cruise in the Mediterranean. And it wasnt as if I was getting no exercise. I cant tell you how many times that week I had to reach out and hit the elevator button to get to the dining room. Often I would wait for another passenger to do it, but most of them were cruise veterans and knew how to wait me out. I also had to turn the pages of my own book between meals. Sheesh! I might as well have been at home. When I told my friends Id been on a cruise, the first thing most of them asked was Did you get sick? which is an odd question coming from my friends. They seem to forget that Ive been in their kitchens and bathrooms, and if that doesnt make me sick, nothing will. Bob told me once that his kitchen floor was so clean you could eat off it. And it certainly looks like he does. Besides, I wonder if some of the stomach flu we hear about on cruises really starts the plane ride to the port city. Every time I get on a plane, the moment the cabin door closes, the guy behind me starts blowing his nose and coughing deep, wet-sounding coughs. So three days later, if I got sick on the boat, would it be the cruise lines fault? Actually, I was kind of hoping I would catch something. Its only way I will ever lose all the weight I gained.

(Continued from page 1)

Nineteen days into the mystery of Flight 370 that vanished early March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, the discovery of the objects that ranged in size from 1 meter (3 feet) to 23 meters (75 feet) offered the most credible lead that we have, a top Malaysian official said Wednesday. A search Wednesday for the objects seen by a French satellite was unsuccessful, echoing the frustration of earlier sweeps that failed to zero in on three objects seen by satellites in recent days. With the search in motion, Malaysian officials again sought to assuage the angry relatives of the flights 153 Chinese passengers. But Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein also expressed exasperation, pointedly saying Chinese families must also understand that we in Malaysia also lost our loved ones, as did so many other nations. The latest satellite images, captured Sunday and relayed by French-based Airbus Defense and Space, are the first to suggest a debris field from the

plane, rather than just isolated objects. The items were spotted in roughly the same area as other objects previously seen by Australian and Chinese satellites. At a news conference in Kuala Lumpur, Hishammuddin said some of them appeared to be bright, possibly indicating solid materials. But experts cautioned that the areas frequent high seas and bad weather and its distance from land complicated an already-trying search. This is a really rough piece of ocean, which is going to be a terrific issue, said Kerry Sieh, director of the Earth Observatory of Singapore. I worry that people carrying out the rescue mission are going to get into trouble. Officials from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said todays search was split into two areas totaling 78,000 square kilometers (30,000 square miles). Planes and ships from the U.S., China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand are involved in the hunt, hoping to find even a single

piece of the jet that could offer tangible evidence of a crash and provide clues to the location of the wreckage. Malaysia said Monday that an analysis of the final known satellite signals from the plane showed that it had gone down in the sea, with no survivors. That data greatly reduced the search zone to an area estimated at 1.6 million square kilometers (622,000 square miles), about the size of Alaska. Were throwing everything we have at this search, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott told Nine Network television. This is about the most inaccessible spot imaginable. Its thousands of kilometers from anywhere, he later told Seven Network television. Malaysia has been criticized over its handling of one of the most perplexing mysteries in aviation history. Much of the most strident criticism has come from relatives of the Chinese passengers, some of whom expressed outrage that Malaysia essentially declared their loved ones dead without recovering a single piece of wreckage.

For spring nitrogen (N) application, apply N fertilizer between March 1 and April 30. If a fall N fertilizer application occurred, spring applications in mid- to lateApril are acceptable. If no N fertilizer was applied in the fall, make the spring application by April 15. The N spring fertilizer rate depends on the yield potential. A 70-bushel wheat potential requires 75 pounds total N, 80-bushel wheat (90#N), 90-bushel (110#N) and 100-bushel (130#N) per acre. Remember that this is total N, so if you applied 30#N in the fall, subtract 30#N/acre from each of the above numbers to equal your spring N fertilizer recommendation.

50 Years Ago 1964 A discussion program was on tap for members of the Delphos Rotary Club during its weekly luncheon meeting Wednesday at NuMaudes Restaurant. Dr. Burl Morris presided at the meeting and also was program chairman for the day. John Horine and Robert Porter led the discussion of foreign policies and world affairs and Paul Korn directed the discussion of domestic affairs and politics. Kenny Knippen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Melitus Knippen of Cloverdale, will receive the degree of State Farmer at the 1964 State FFA convention in Columbus in late April. Kenny is a member of the Ottoville FFA Chapter and has served as treasurer and delegate to the state convention. Members of St. Johns Band have taken on a fundraising project, a pre-Easter car wash, with funds derived from it to be applied to the balance owned on the new band uniforms. The car wash will be held Saturday at Doyles Sohio Service Station, Main and Fifth streets.

75 Years Ago 1939 The only sound motion picture ever to be taken of an actual cross-country ox cart cavalcade will be shown before the Kiwanis Club Tuesday night in the Beckman Hotel. The re-enactment last spring of the history-making emigration of the band of pioneers from Ipswich, Mass., in 1787, to the great Norwest Territory to establish a new settlement at which is now Marietta, Ohio, was what made it possible for the Standard Oil Company to record the memorable journey. The initial appearance of the combined mens and boys choir will be made at Immaculate Conception Church in Ottoville on Easter Sunday. Basil V. Alt, choirmaster and organist at Immaculate Conception, has had considerable experience with boys choir work. He received his training with the Paulist choir in Chicago and has been active in this phase of choral work for the past several years. G. E. Pennell, Poplar Bluff, Mo., has accepted a position as watchmaker at the J. Howard Apger Jewelry Store. Pennell has had 11 years of experience in the watch business. Apger left for Columbus Monday morning to start his new duties as a liquor inspector in the State Department of Liquor Control.

Wheat

(Continued from page 4)

The number of tillers per square foot is equal to the number of tillers in 19.2 inches of row in fields planted at 7.5-inch wide row spacing. Ohio studies (Ohio Agronomy Guide, 14th edition) have shown that under adequate weather conditions, spring tillering may still compensate for thin stands at greenup. Wheat fields will be greening-up soon from warmer spring temperatures and should be evaluated to assess winter damage. Areas of thin stands probably occurred from periods of standing water or ice on a field rather than from extreme cold temperatures. (Lentz, 2014)

(Continued from page 4)

But the groups market analyst, Casey Chumrau, also said in her report that weather worries were the primary fuel for a 15 percent increase in wheat futures prices for hard red winter wheat during just 13 trading days at the Kansas City Board of Trade. Droughts in some major wheat growing countries and potential freeze damage stemming from subzero temperatures that hit the U.S. plains in January is now showing up. We are certainly not downplaying the political unrest, Chumrau said in a phone interview Tuesday. There is potential for market disruption in the future, but at this point it is market speculation. While the down-the-road effects of the higher prices on consumers is uncertain, U.S. farmers are poised to cash in on the higher prices. In January hard red winter wheat for May delivery on the commod-

ity futures market was trading at $6.05 a bushel. It is now fetching almost $8 a bushel. Chumrau noted that recent reports from the Ukrainian Agriculture Ministry show no indication grain shipments have been affected so far. A more pressing concern is drought in the Black Sea region, with parts of Russia and Ukraine reporting dry conditions this spring. In four of the last six years, the world has had record wheat production and record wheat consumption, and there is still plenty of wheat around to meet that consumer demand, she said. Still the specter of potential conflict and upheaval in that part of the world is probably what is affecting at least the worries of the market, as much as the current actual impact, said Dan OBrien, a specialist in grain markets at Kansas State University. Both market analysts agree, however,

that the drought conditions in the U.S. southern plains is also a major driver in the recent uptick in wheat prices as winter wheat breaks dormancy and needs soil moisture to grow. We have problems in the winter wheat belt, OBrien said, adding there are reports about damage caused by the frigid temperatures in January, when there was little protective snow cover on the ground. Rainfall has been sparse so far this spring. About two-thirds of the U.S. wheat belt an area that includes Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, eastern Colorado and west-central Nebraska is in a drought, said Don Keeney, agricultural meteorologist with MDA Weather Services. Although the outlook calls for some rain in the southern plains the first week in April, those are not expected to be heavy and will help crop conditions only a little bit, he said.
