Mansfield: Parks and
Rec paper thin
BY NANCY SPENCER
Herald Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Local voters will decide on a
.25-percent income tax increase on Tuesday with
the projected $400,000 generated earmarked for
Delphos Parks and Rec.
Department head Craig Mansfield wants resi-
dents to know what they will get for their money.
We run the parks and everything that entails
with a paper-thin budget, Mansfield said. We
have the lowest budget in the game and offer the
best bang for the buck. We provide a safe and
very clean environment for the community and
keep our youth involved. The other city services
are important but the parks are, too.
His 2013 parks budget was $282,686, includ-
ing a $22,000 Dienstberger Foundation Grant.
The pool budget was $98,554 and concessions
were $15,249. Mansfield said his $396,000 bud-
get goes pretty quickly.
We employ two full-time parks personnel,
a recreation director, 45-50 kids for seasonal
work at the parks and pool and 10 umpires, he
said. What people dont realize is we run five
parks covering more than 100 acres for about
eight months out of the year on that money and
I kept my overtime to $1,200 last year. All time
is flexed so theres someone here at 8 a.m. and
8 p.m. If things are going on in the parks, were
here.
Keeping things tidy and in order takes the
bulk of Mansfields and his crews time. First
thing in the morning, all trash cans are poked
and the more than 40 receptacles are emptied
twice a week at a minimum. Restrooms are
cleaned and supplies stocked and when the pool
is open, two seasonal helpers suit up and dive the
pool-cleaning and vacuuming. The pool deck is
cleared of debris and the restrooms and showers
are cleaned and stocked.
Paint disposal added
to monthly collection
BY NANCY SPENCER
Herald Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Residents who have started their spring
cleaning can unload those unwanted items from 8 a.m. to
noon on Saturday in the parking lot across from the Municipal
Building on Canal Street.
Allen County Refuse offers the program as part of its ser-
vice to the city.
Mays collection will also include an opportunity for resi-
dents to dispose of latex paint. American Paint Recyclers will
be at this pick up and there will be no charge for the disposal
of latex paint. The only paint they accept is latex paint (interior
or exterior), acrylic latex paint and water-based paint. They
cannot take oil-based paint or stains.
ACR General Manager John Berens said the monthly offer-
ing is as much for his crews as residents.
We hold the big-item pick-ups once a month so we dont
have to send a truck to Delphos every day, Berens said. The
trucks that come through and empty the trash and recycle
receptacles cant take the bigger items.
Berens said he and his workers haul an average of 10 tons
from Delphos the first Saturday of every month.
People seem to like it, Berens said. We have a lot of
people who take advantage of it.
Schmits Market
checking out
Through a grant of close to $1,200 from Moving Ohio Forward, the old Schmits Market building on the corner of Canal and
Second streets was razed Wednesday by Hume Supply Company out of Lima. Grant Coordinator of Van Wert County Mike Jackson
said the program has enabled the county to demolish 16 dilapidated homes in Convoy, Willshire, Wren, Middle Point and Delphos
through grants of close to $150,000. He said the Schmit building qualified for the grant since the second story was residential.

'Who Framed
Roger Rabbit'
actor Hoskins
dies at 71
LONDON (AP)
Bob Hoskins never lost his
Cockney accent, even as he
became a global star who
charmed and alarmed audi-
ences in a vast range of roles.
Short and bald, with a
face he once compared to a
squashed cabbage, Hoskins
was a remarkably versa-
tile performer. As a London
gangster in The Long Good
Friday, he moved from bra-
vura bluster to tragic under-
statement. In Who Framed
Roger Rabbit, he cavorted
with a cast of animated char-
acters, making technological
trickery seem seamless and
natural.
A family statement released
Wednesday said Hoskins had
died in a hospital the night
before after a bout of pneumo-
nia. He was 71 and had been
diagnosed with Parkinsons
disease in 2012.
Helen Mirren, who starred
alongside Hoskins in The
Long Good Friday, called
him a great actor and an even
greater man. Funny, loyal,
instinctive, hard-working,
with that inimitable energy
that seemed like a spectacular
firework rocket just as it takes
off.
I personally will miss him
very much, London will miss
one of her best and most lov-
ing sons, and Britain will miss
a man to be proud of, Mirren
said.
The 56 (1.68 meters
tall) Hoskins, who was built
like a bullet, specialized in
tough guys with a soft cen-
ter, including the ex-con who
chaperones Cathy Tysons
escort in Neil Jordans 1986
film Mona Lisa. Hoskins
was nominated for a best-
actor Academy Award for the
role.
Neil Jordans Mona
Lisa and Bob Zemeckis
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
were just two of the films
that showed Bob Hoskins tre-
mendous range, said Steven
Spielberg, who produced
Roger Rabbit and later
directed Hoskins in his Peter
Pan tale Hook.
He was an actor who
loved to work and the work
loved him. And so did
every audience, Spielberg
said.
Hoskins breakout
Hollywood role was as a
detective investigating car-
toon crime in Who Framed
Roger Rabbit, a tribute to
hard-boiled 1940s entertain-
ment that was one of the first
major movies to meld anima-
tion and live action. The 1988
Zemeckis film was a huge
global success that won three
Oscars and helped revive ani-
mated filmmaking.

Information submitted
Memorial Day marks the unofficial
start of the summer season and sun-
filled, carefree days ahead. The true
meaning of the holiday is to honor mem-
bers of the United States Armed Forces
who gave the ultimate sacrifice while
protecting and defending our countrys
freedoms. We can honor these brave
service men and women by making and
keeping an appointment to donate blood
through the American Red Cross.
Your blood donation at this time
of year works as both a tribute and a
testament to our nations armed forces,
said Tracy Fox, spokesperson for the
Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region
of the American Red Cross. By rolling
up your sleeve, youll also help main-
tain a strong blood supply at a time of
year when blood donations traditionally
decline.
Every two seconds, someone in the
United States needs blood. While that
need is constant, the number of people
donating blood can fluctuate, particu-
larly over the summer. Someone seri-
ously injured in an automobile accident,
for instance, may need up to 40 units
of blood for their emergency care. Its
the blood already on the shelf that saves
lives, so its very important that donors
give blood throughout the year.
We hope citizens recognize the ongo-
ing need and will mark the Memorial
Day holiday by donating blood, said
Fox. Your donation will honor those
who sacrificed for our country, as well
as help ensure a stable blood supply for
those in need.
Upcoming blood donation opportuni-

Governor grants
clemency to
condemned inmate
COLUMBUS (AP)
Republican Gov. John Kasich
on Wednesday spared a prison
inmate set to die later this month
for the killing of a Cleveland
produce vendor while rejecting
calls that he be made eligible
for parole and possible release.
Kasichs clemency decision
followed the recommendation a
day earlier of mercy for Arthur
Tyler by the Ohio Parole Board,
which cited several statements
by Tylers co-defendant tak-
ing responsibility for the 1983
shooting.
Tyler, 54, was scheduled to
die May 28 for the killing of
Sander Leach during a robbery.
Leachs relatives opposed clem-
ency for Tyler.
Kasich called the irregulari-
ties in the court proceedings
troubling. His decision com-
muted Tylers sentence to life
with no chance of parole.
Arthur Tylers crime
against Sander Leach and his
family was heinous, and this
commutation in no way dimin-
ishes that, Kasich said in a
statement.
Attorneys for Tyler told the
board on April 24 that he is
innocent and should be freed.
Defense attorney Vicki Werneke
said in an email Wednesday she
continues to believe in Tylers
innocence and was hopeful
after the parole board report
that Tyler would eventually be
released from prison.
Cleveland prosecutors
argued that Tylers sentence
should be changed to life
without parole because of
questions about the convic-
tion, though they maintain
Tyler fatally shot the produce
vendor.
The case doesnt meet the
offices current standards for
a capital punishment prosecu-
tion, Cuyahoga County assis-
tant prosecutor Allan Regas
told the board. He said the
office wouldnt seek the death
sentence in such a case today
based on the evidence, which
includes what appears to be
a lack of intent to shoot the
victim.
Tylers first death sentence
was overturned by a state
appeals court in 1984 on the
basis of poor legal assistance.
He was convicted at a second
trial and again sentenced to
death.

Harsh winter weather damages alfalfa
JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension
Ag Educator
The following information is from the free Ohio State
University Crop Observation and Recommendation Network
(C.O.R.N.) and can be found at corn.osu.edu. The winter was
hard on alfalfa stands according to Mark Sulc, OSU Forage
Specialist and Rory Lewandowski.
They found severe heaving damage in alfalfa with some
fields showing heaving of 70 percent of the stand. Heaving
is usually more severe in areas with less than ideal internal
and surface soil drainage and on soils with high shrink/swell
potential. It is more likely where a mid to late fall harvest was
taken. Fall harvesting can weaken plants and it reduces the
plant residue that serves to moderate soil temperature fluctua-
tions and catch snow that also insulates against wild tempera-
ture swings during the winter.
Plants with crowns heaved up two or more inches are
probably already dead or in the process of desiccating and
will soon die. Plants that are heaved 1 to 1.5 inches above the
soil surface or less may on casual inspection appear normal
and be greening up. But closer inspection will reveal crowns
above the soil surface, which will likely limit the productive
life of the plant. Such plants will desiccate more quickly, be
injured by wheel traffic and crowns may break or be cut off at
the first harvest. Some of those plants may survive through the
first harvest, but yield potential is compromised and they will
likely disappear from the stand.
Walk your fields and get a broad view to determine
whether spring growth appears uniform. If growth is spotty
or nonexistent, it is very likely that plants have suffered some
injury or heaving. Visually estimate the ground cover of desir-
able forage plants as the stand develops four to six inches of
new growth. Stands with more than 80 percent ground cover
and good vigor should produce excellent yields assuming
good growing conditions, stands with 60-80 percent ground
cover should produce fair yields, stands with 40 to 60 percent
ground cover will probably produce yields in the 60 percent
range of normal, and stands with less than 40 percent ground
cover will generally not yield much. Weeds will become a real
problem in the thinner stands, and over seeding with Italian
ryegrass or with oats will boost first harvest yields. Destroying
the stand and rotating out to another crop should also be
considered where substantial damage has occurred. (CORN
Newsletter 2014-10)
In Ohio, some wheat stands look very good while oth-
ers have several bare patches. Overall, wheat fields on well
drained soils and planted shortly after the fly-free date are
in good condition, while fields that were planted wet and
late tend to be in poorer condition. Cool conditions and an
extended winter have caused the growth of the 2014 wheat
crop to be behind what is considered to be normal in Ohio at
this time of year. The current growth stage is between Feekes
5 and Feekes 7. Remember, short-looking wheat does not
mean that the crop is not developing and advancing through
the different growth stages.
Growers who rely on the height of the crop as an indicator
of crop development may miss Feekes GS 6, a critical growth
stage for herbicide application and top-dressing. Do not relay
on the height of the plants or calendar dates alone to make
your management decisions. Walk fields, pull tillers from
multiple places, remove the lower leaves and examine these
tillers for the presence of nodes. At Feekes 6, the first node is
visible at the base of the stem, about an inch or so above the
soil line. For pictures of wheat throughout the Feekes growth
stages and a summary of appropriate pesticide/fertilizer man-
agement timing go to Managing Wheat by Growth Stage ( K.
Wise, et al) at https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/
ID/ID-422.pdf.
Feekes 6 is still too early to be concerned about apply-
ing fungicides for foliar disease management. Septoria leaf
blotch and powdery mildew are usually the first to show up.
Results from our studies have shown that the greatest benefits
from foliar fungicide applications were obtained when treat-
ments were made between Feekes 8 (flag leaf emergence) and
Feekes 10 (boot). This is largely because most of our major
foliar diseases usually develop and reach the flag leaf after
Feekes 8-9. Continue to scout fields for diseases over the next
few weeks. If it continues to rain as temperatures increase,
you may want to consider a fungicide application at Feekes 8,
especially if the variety is susceptible. (Paul, Culman, Lentz,
Lindsey, and Watters, CORN 2014-11)

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-
Busting Material Into Miracle Socks
for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
PAD ADVERTSEMENT
What part of your swollen, tired,
or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circula-
tion, injury, swelling or any condi-
tion that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boost-
ing sock, called Bambusa
TM
.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a Bambusa
TM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in con-
tact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help re-
vitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the ma-
terial provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, ath-
letes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fa-
tigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were pho-
tographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemus-
cle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.
Doctor
Recommended
Pain specialist
of 30 years, Dr.
Jahner comments
on the 3D-weave
technology. In-
frared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circula-
tory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed re-
covery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cel-
lular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and rec-
ommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exag-
geration the relief was almost in-
stantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
Bambusa
TM
socks are not a med-
ical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negative-
anion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
Bambusa
TM
socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. Bam-
busa
TM
socks can also bring com-
fort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing indi-
viduals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persist-
ent foot problems for years and no-
ticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had pain-
free feet - UNTILNOW!
I went out on the golf course
for 18 holes of golf, and when I got
home my feet werent swollen,
they werent sweating and my feet
didnt hurt, says Lou B. from New
York.
BENEFITS:
Increased blood flow and
oxygen
Reduced swelling and pain
Anti-microbial
Wicks away moisture
Increased range of motion
IDEALFOR:
Neuropathy
Raynaud's Syndrome
Cramping
Cold Feet
Tom from NJ reports, I suffer
from chronic foot cramps. My feet
were sore for days after the cramp-
ing. My wife gave me the Bam-
busa
TM
socks, I wore them, and the
foot cramps stopped. I replaced all
my socks with Bambusa
TM
. My
feet feel great now.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo in-
crease blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature
due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved com-
fort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.

I dont know if I can add anything to the situation
involving 80-year-old curmudgeon Donald Sterling, cur-
rently and I write currently because this may change in
a hurry the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.
His being banned for life by new National Basketball
Association Commissioner Adam Silver from really doing
anything with his team reminds me of what happened to the
late former owner of the Cincinnati Reds, Marge Schott,
when Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig
basically forced her into selling the team due to similar
open mouth and put in both feet comments.
In many ways, both owners and their stances on simi-
lar issues regardless non-Caucasians and other issues
regarding how they ran their teams were bad for their
respective teams and leagues.
Schott was bad for MLB and the Reds because of
her seeming support of that definitely-not-a-good-human-
being, Adolf Hitler what the heck was going through
HER mind when she made those utterances? as well as
how she felt about others simply because of the color of
their skin or their ethnicity.
She also really didnt have a clue about how to build and
maintain a baseball team she was quoted one time as
asking the question why do we need so many scouts? All
they do is watch baseball games? and under her watch,
a once teeming farm system was reduced to rubble.
She did have some positives to her personality out-
side of the spotlight, she was known to be charitable but
she will be forever stained with her negative comments and
not her good actions.

Karam gives up prom for chance to race Indy 500
Associated Press
Sage Karam has found only one speed bump
in landing a ride in the Indianapolis 500: He
cant go to the prom.
Karam was set to bring girlfriend Anna de
Ferran, daughter of 2003 Indianapolis
500 winner Gil de Ferran, to his
Nazareth Area High School prom
until his new job got in the way. The
19-year-old Karam, the reigning Indy
Lights champion, struck a deal this
week to drive the No. 22 Chevrolet
in his Indianapolis 500 debut.
Qualifying is on May 17, the same day as
his prom, forcing Karam to start his engine
in Indianapolis instead of renting a limo in
Pennsylvania.
Id never been to a prom before, he said.
I was kind of looking forward to it. Its a good
excuse to miss it.
Securing a ride for the Greatest Spectacle in
Racing from Chip Ganassi isnt a bad gradua-
tion gift.
I always said when I was younger, I wanted
to race in the 500 my senior year, Karam said.
Some kids kind of laughed at that idea. Even
adults. I always stuck by it. Thats what I always
was going to do. Now, its turned into a reality.
Its a cool feeling to be 19 and know youre
going to race in the biggest race in the world.
Karam is from Nazareth, Pa., the hometown
of the Andretti family. He spent months wonder-
ing if he could parlay his feeder system champi-
onship into an IndyCar ride. He got the break he
needed when he signed with Ganassi in a driver
development role.
Karam will race in his first Indianapolis
500 next month in a car fielded jointly by
Chip Ganassi Racing and Dreyer & Reinbold
Kingdom Racing.
Ive worked my whole life to get to this
point, Karam explained. To finally
sign a contract with my name on it that
means Im racing in the 500, its an
insane feeling.
Driving for Sam Schmidt
Motorsports, Karam won the Indy
Lights championship, the ultimate
reward for a season built on three wins, nine
podiums, two poles and 163 laps led. He ditched
a final year of class for online courses as he
chased his open-wheel dream.
Karam ran the first two Tudor United Sports
Car races with Ganassis organization. Ganassi
plans to use Karam in the remaining endurance
races. But there are no immediate plans for
Karam to race in IndyCar after the 500.
I knew if I was given the opportunity, I had
to impress, Karam said. Its an awesome feel-
ing knowing that these guys are really putting
a lot of time and effort into me to groom me.
Karam, a high school wrestler, just signed
a 6-month lease for a place in Carmel, Ind.,
and plans to absorb all he can in IndyCars
epicenter.
Karams prom is on hold but he does plan
on walking with his class for the June 10 grad-
uation ceremony, maybe with one more acces-
sory to go with his mortarboard hat and gown.
Hopefully, Ive got that Indy 500 champi-
ons ring on, he added.

Local Roundup
Wildcats rally in 7th for baseball W
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

DELPHOS High school baseball
is a simple matter of making routine
plays in the field, getting crucial hits
at the plate, plus getting solid enough
pitching to keep a team in the game.
Jefferson did all three Wednesday
versus Fort Jennings, scoring four in the
top of the seventh to escape with a 7-5
non-league triumph on an overcast after-
noon/evening at Wildcat Field.
The game was moved from Fort
Jennings Village Park due to wet
grounds but the Musketeers (6-11) were
the home team on the scoreboard.
Trailing 5-3 to enter the seventh
frame, Ryan Bullinger ripped a single
to left against Musketeer starter Alex
Vetter (6-plus innings, 5 hits, 5 runs,
3 earned, 1 free pass, 1 strikeout; 76
pitches, 49 for strikes) and Nick Fitch
was hit by a pitch, ending Vetters stint
on the mound for Ryan Rau (1 IP, 1 hit,
2 runs, 1 earned, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 hit batter).
Pinch-hitter Tyler Rice got aboard on a
2-base throwing error, plating Bullinger
for a 5-4 deficit and putting Fitch at
third. Jace Stockwell walked to load
the bases and a wild pitch tied it at 5 as
Fitch touched the dish. Hunter Binkley
slashed a liner to center, getting pinch-
runner Josh Teman and Stockwell home
for a 7-5 lead. Binkley burgled sec-
ond and Ross Thompson was plunked.
Austin Jettinghoff bounced out and
Gage Mercer bounced to third, when
Alex Vetter gunned down Binkley trying
to score. Adam Rode was fanned for the
final out.
That uprising gave the fourth
Jefferson hurler, Jettinghoff (2
IPs, 1 hit, 1 BB) the victory as
he sent down the Musketeers in
order in the home seventh.
The hosts got two on in the first
on a 2-out infield hit to short by
Mark Metzger (3-for-4) and a liner
to left by Rau (2-for-4) but left
them stranded (8 for the game).
Jennings put up a 4-spot in
the third against Jefferson start-
er Jordan Herron (2 1/3 IPs, 5
hits, 4 ERs, 1 BB, 1 HB, 1 K).
Jared Hoersten was plunked but
was forced at second by Conner
Wollenhorsts attempted sacrifice. He
stole second and scored as Dylan Van
Loo (2-for-4) went opposite way for a
double to left center. Metzger beat out
an infield hit to deep short. Rau lined a
singled to left that plated Van Loo for
a 2-0 lead. Vetter walked to load the
bases and finish Herron on the hill for
Stockwell (1 2/3 IPs, 2 hits, 2 Ks). Sam
Vetters bouncer to third forced Metzger
at home on Herrons throw. However,
Kyle Hellmans bloop to right center got
Rau and A. Vetter home for a 4-0 bulge.
The Wildcats (11-6) didnt touch
A. Vetter until Stockwell led off the
Jefferson fourth with a bunt single down
the third-base line. Binkley earned a free
pass. However, Stockwell was forced
at third by Thompson and the next two
batters were retired to maintain a 4-run
Musketeer edge.
Hoersten led off the Musketeer fifth
with a liner to left center but
was caught stealing by Fitch.
Jefferson challenged again
in the visitor fifth on a leadoff
liner to right by Herron. Pinch-
runner Damien Dudgeon was
running as Bullinger bounced
out and reached third on a
Fitch bounceout. However,
he could not score.
The hosts got a leadoff rip
to center by Metzger in the
bottom of the fifth against
third Jefferson pitcher Teman
(1-plus IP, 2 hits, 1 ER, 2 BBs,
1 K), then stole second with one down.
A. Vetter walked and the Orange and
Black left both on the bases.
The Wildcats made it a 4-3 deficit
in the sixth. Stockwell got aboard via
an error, advanced on Binkleys come-
backer and touched the dish courtesy
of Thompsons double to the left-center
gap. Thompson swiped third and scored
via an error on the play. Jettinghoff
bunted his way aboard (third base), gar-
nered third via a 2-base throwing miscue
and scored the third Red and White run
on an RBI grounder by Gage Mercer.

I dont know if I can add anything to the situation
involving 80-year-old curmudgeon Donald Sterling, cur-
rently and I write currently because this may change in
a hurry the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.
His being banned for life by new National Basketball
Association Commissioner Adam Silver from really doing
anything with his team reminds me of what happened to the
late former owner of the Cincinnati Reds, Marge Schott,
when Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig
basically forced her into selling the team due to similar
open mouth and put in both feet comments.
In many ways, both owners and their stances on simi-
lar issues regardless non-Caucasians and other issues
regarding how they ran their teams were bad for their
respective teams and leagues.
Schott was bad for MLB and the Reds because of
her seeming support of that definitely-not-a-good-human-
being, Adolf Hitler what the heck was going through
HER mind when she made those utterances? as well as
how she felt about others simply because of the color of
their skin or their ethnicity.
She also really didnt have a clue about how to build and
maintain a baseball team she was quoted one time as
asking the question why do we need so many scouts? All
they do is watch baseball games? and under her watch,
a once teeming farm system was reduced to rubble.
She did have some positives to her personality out-
side of the spotlight, she was known to be charitable but
she will be forever stained with her negative comments and
not her good actions.

Karam gives up prom for chance to race Indy 500
Associated Press
Sage Karam has found only one speed bump
in landing a ride in the Indianapolis 500: He
cant go to the prom.
Karam was set to bring girlfriend Anna de
Ferran, daughter of 2003 Indianapolis
500 winner Gil de Ferran, to his
Nazareth Area High School prom
until his new job got in the way. The
19-year-old Karam, the reigning Indy
Lights champion, struck a deal this
week to drive the No. 22 Chevrolet
in his Indianapolis 500 debut.
Qualifying is on May 17, the same day as
his prom, forcing Karam to start his engine
in Indianapolis instead of renting a limo in
Pennsylvania.
Id never been to a prom before, he said.
I was kind of looking forward to it. Its a good
excuse to miss it.
Securing a ride for the Greatest Spectacle in
Racing from Chip Ganassi isnt a bad gradua-
tion gift.
I always said when I was younger, I wanted
to race in the 500 my senior year, Karam said.
Some kids kind of laughed at that idea. Even
adults. I always stuck by it. Thats what I always
was going to do. Now, its turned into a reality.
Its a cool feeling to be 19 and know youre
going to race in the biggest race in the world.
Karam is from Nazareth, Pa., the hometown
of the Andretti family. He spent months wonder-
ing if he could parlay his feeder system champi-
onship into an IndyCar ride. He got the break he
needed when he signed with Ganassi in a driver
development role.
Karam will race in his first Indianapolis
500 next month in a car fielded jointly by
Chip Ganassi Racing and Dreyer & Reinbold
Kingdom Racing.
Ive worked my whole life to get to this
point, Karam explained. To finally
sign a contract with my name on it that
means Im racing in the 500, its an
insane feeling.
Driving for Sam Schmidt
Motorsports, Karam won the Indy
Lights championship, the ultimate
reward for a season built on three wins, nine
podiums, two poles and 163 laps led. He ditched
a final year of class for online courses as he
chased his open-wheel dream.
Karam ran the first two Tudor United Sports
Car races with Ganassis organization. Ganassi
plans to use Karam in the remaining endurance
races. But there are no immediate plans for
Karam to race in IndyCar after the 500.
I knew if I was given the opportunity, I had
to impress, Karam said. Its an awesome feel-
ing knowing that these guys are really putting
a lot of time and effort into me to groom me.
Karam, a high school wrestler, just signed
a 6-month lease for a place in Carmel, Ind.,
and plans to absorb all he can in IndyCars
epicenter.
Karams prom is on hold but he does plan
on walking with his class for the June 10 grad-
uation ceremony, maybe with one more acces-
sory to go with his mortarboard hat and gown.
Hopefully, Ive got that Indy 500 champi-
ons ring on, he added.

Local Roundup
Wildcats rally in 7th for baseball W
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

DELPHOS High school baseball
is a simple matter of making routine
plays in the field, getting crucial hits
at the plate, plus getting solid enough
pitching to keep a team in the game.
Jefferson did all three Wednesday
versus Fort Jennings, scoring four in the
top of the seventh to escape with a 7-5
non-league triumph on an overcast after-
noon/evening at Wildcat Field.
The game was moved from Fort
Jennings Village Park due to wet
grounds but the Musketeers (6-11) were
the home team on the scoreboard.
Trailing 5-3 to enter the seventh
frame, Ryan Bullinger ripped a single
to left against Musketeer starter Alex
Vetter (6-plus innings, 5 hits, 5 runs,
3 earned, 1 free pass, 1 strikeout; 76
pitches, 49 for strikes) and Nick Fitch
was hit by a pitch, ending Vetters stint
on the mound for Ryan Rau (1 IP, 1 hit,
2 runs, 1 earned, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 hit batter).
Pinch-hitter Tyler Rice got aboard on a
2-base throwing error, plating Bullinger
for a 5-4 deficit and putting Fitch at
third. Jace Stockwell walked to load
the bases and a wild pitch tied it at 5 as
Fitch touched the dish. Hunter Binkley
slashed a liner to center, getting pinch-
runner Josh Teman and Stockwell home
for a 7-5 lead. Binkley burgled sec-
ond and Ross Thompson was plunked.
Austin Jettinghoff bounced out and
Gage Mercer bounced to third, when
Alex Vetter gunned down Binkley trying
to score. Adam Rode was fanned for the
final out.
That uprising gave the fourth
Jefferson hurler, Jettinghoff (2
IPs, 1 hit, 1 BB) the victory as
he sent down the Musketeers in
order in the home seventh.
The hosts got two on in the first
on a 2-out infield hit to short by
Mark Metzger (3-for-4) and a liner
to left by Rau (2-for-4) but left
them stranded (8 for the game).
Jennings put up a 4-spot in
the third against Jefferson start-
er Jordan Herron (2 1/3 IPs, 5
hits, 4 ERs, 1 BB, 1 HB, 1 K).
Jared Hoersten was plunked but
was forced at second by Conner
Wollenhorsts attempted sacrifice. He
stole second and scored as Dylan Van
Loo (2-for-4) went opposite way for a
double to left center. Metzger beat out
an infield hit to deep short. Rau lined a
singled to left that plated Van Loo for
a 2-0 lead. Vetter walked to load the
bases and finish Herron on the hill for
Stockwell (1 2/3 IPs, 2 hits, 2 Ks). Sam
Vetters bouncer to third forced Metzger
at home on Herrons throw. However,
Kyle Hellmans bloop to right center got
Rau and A. Vetter home for a 4-0 bulge.
The Wildcats (11-6) didnt touch
A. Vetter until Stockwell led off the
Jefferson fourth with a bunt single down
the third-base line. Binkley earned a free
pass. However, Stockwell was forced
at third by Thompson and the next two
batters were retired to maintain a 4-run
Musketeer edge.
Hoersten led off the Musketeer fifth
with a liner to left center but
was caught stealing by Fitch.
Jefferson challenged again
in the visitor fifth on a leadoff
liner to right by Herron. Pinch-
runner Damien Dudgeon was
running as Bullinger bounced
out and reached third on a
Fitch bounceout. However,
he could not score.
The hosts got a leadoff rip
to center by Metzger in the
bottom of the fifth against
third Jefferson pitcher Teman
(1-plus IP, 2 hits, 1 ER, 2 BBs,
1 K), then stole second with one down.
A. Vetter walked and the Orange and
Black left both on the bases.
The Wildcats made it a 4-3 deficit
in the sixth. Stockwell got aboard via
an error, advanced on Binkleys come-
backer and touched the dish courtesy
of Thompsons double to the left-center
gap. Thompson swiped third and scored
via an error on the play. Jettinghoff
bunted his way aboard (third base), gar-
nered third via a 2-base throwing miscue
and scored the third Red and White run
on an RBI grounder by Gage Mercer.

(Continued from page 6)
Fort Jennings made it 5-3 in
the next half-inning. Pinch-hitter
Alex Sealts rocked a double
down the left-field line. Pinch-
hitter Ryan Hoersten walked
bringing in Jettinghoff to the hill
and both stole the next base.
Wollenhorst walked to load the
sacks. Van Loo blooped a run-
scoring hit to left center (Sealts).
Metzgers grounder to Binkley
at second forced R. Hoersten at
home. Rau flied out to left and
Wollenhorst tagged up to score
but on appeal, he was ruled to
have left early for an inning- and
rally-killing double play.
We have struggled with
confidence at the plate since the
Allen East loss last Thursday. We
continued that for the first five
innings today; we put in extra
batting practice and talked about
it but were pressing, Jefferson
coach Doug Geary explained.
Fortunately, we got a 3-spot in
the sixth to put ourselves in a
position to win. We took advan-
tage of some mistakes they made
in the field, which we didnt do
today. We pitched well overall
outside of one inning but got
some big at-bats; we need to get
back to hitting with confidence
because no matter how well you
pitch and field, you have to score
runs.
Jefferson visits Columbus
Grove today and will host
Bluffton (postponed due to
weather Tuesday) Friday, pick-
ing up in the middle of the fourth
inning.
Wed been playing well late-
ly, winning four straight before
today. We struggled before
that but especially at the plate,
seemed to be turning the cor-
ner there, Jennings coach Eric
Schwab noted. We had two bad
innings today. We threw the ball
around too much in the field and
Jefferson did what they had to
do. Thats really the story for us
today.
Fort Jennings hosts Kalida
Friday.

Famous bidders already
lining up for LA Clippers
By GREG BEACHAM
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES If Donald
Sterling is compelled to sell the Los
Angeles Clippers, the list of potential
buyers has more stars than their roster.
Oprah Winfrey is contemplating a
bid. Sean Combs is a Knicks fan but
wants in.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants the
whole team. Matt Damon wants a tiny
piece.
Billionaires, entertainers and ath-
letes alike announced their intentions
to pursue the Clippers with
varying degrees of serious-
ness Wednesday, proving the
long-time losers will be quite
a prize if the NBA is able
to wrest control of the team
away from Sterling after
his lifetime ban for racist
remarks.
Winfrey led the list and the media
mogul is already bringing in her
friends.
Oprah Winfrey is in discussions
with David Geffen and Larry Ellison
to make a bid for the Los Angeles
Clippers should the team become
available, spokesperson Nicole
Nichols confirmed in an e-mail.
If Winfrey joins Geffen, the bil-
lionaire entertainment executive, and
Oracle CEO Ellison to pool their
vast resources for a bid, they could
be among the top contenders for a
franchise that would be among the
most valuable sports properties to
hit the market since the Los Angeles
Dodgers $2 billion sale in 2012 to the
Guggenheim Partners group fronted
by Magic Johnson, the Lakers great
and another potential Clippers bidder.
The Clippers spent the last three
decades rotting in the shadow of
the glamorous Lakers, who piled up
championships while the lowly Clips
only racked up losses. With Sterlings
ouster, the Clippers suddenly became
the most attractive team in town to
wealthy fans lining up for an unlikely
chance to seize control of a Hollywood
sports franchise on the move.
David Carter, the executive direc-
tor of USCs Sports Business Institute,
identifies multiple factors contributing
to the Clippers extraordinary value.
Interest in the team results from
the combination of NBA teams being
rare assets that are seldom available for
purchase, the location of this particular
team and potential owners belief that
revenue streams linked to rehabbing the
brand and participating in future rev-
enue linked to a new TV deal all make
the team very attractive to prospective
buyers, Carter said.
For a day, almost everybody seemed
interested in being those buyers and
even entertainers without those limit-
less resources were clamoring for the
chance.
Combs, Rick Ross and Snoop Dogg
all aired their interest, as did long-
time Clippers fan Frankie Muniz and
Damon, who told CNBC hed like to be
a super tiny minority investor. Fans
also got in on the frenzy, opening cam-
paigns on Kickstarter and Crowdtilt to
pool their resources for the club.
Mayweather spoke seriously about
his interest while preparing for his fight
with Marcos Maidana this Saturday,
although Money May would have
to curb his enthusiastic sports gam-
bling habit. Oscar De La Hoya, the
majority shareholder in Golden Boy
Promotions whose statue sits outside
Staples Center, volunteered himself as
a part-owner.
The league has made it known
that it wants more minorities involved
and as a proud Mexican-American, I
will bring a different perspective to
the NBA in general, the Clippers in
particular, De La Hoya said. I was
born and raised in Los Angeles. I know
what it takes to run a successful sports
entity.
A vocal segment of the NBAs social
media following immediately started a
campaign to move the Clippers to
Seattle, a basketball-loving
city that has been without
a team since Clay Bennett
moved the SuperSonics to
Oklahoma City in 2008.
But much of the Clippers
value results from their loca-
tion in the nations second-
largest city and their opportunity to
sign a lucrative new television rights
deal in 2016.
The Clippers association with
Sterlings racist remarks could have
been crushing to their prestige and
value but they dont seem to be a prob-
lem if Sterling is no longer associated
with the club.
The short term damage has been
dramatic but Commissioner (Adam)
Silver provided a tourniquet that has
stopped the brand erosion, Carter
said. The NBA, working in conjunc-
tion with new ownership, will have
an extraordinary opportunity to reha-
bilitate the teams reputation and then
extend its brand.
The Clippers havent been known
for success during most of their exis-
tence but thats changing. And whats
more, the Clippers are cool.
Led by point guard Chris Paul and
high-flying forward Blake Griffin
two All-Stars signed to long-term con-
tracts the Clippers have won two
straight Pacific Division titles and
are on the brink of their third playoff
series victory since Sterling bought the
team in 1981.
The Clippers have captured the
imagination of Los Angeles coun-
terculture, the transplants and con-
trarian fans who arent interested in
the Lakers bandwagon. Theyre also
attracting more of an international
following with each highlight-reel per-
formance by Paul and dunking vir-
tuosos DeAndre Jordan and Griffin,
who coined the phrase Lob City to
describe their daredevil style of play.
And it doesnt hurt that the Lakers
just finished their worst season in more
than 50 years, missing the playoffs for
just the third time in 38 seasons. The
Lakers appear to be years away from
title contention, while the Clippers are
built to contend every year in the near
future.
Were proud of this team,
Clippers guard Jamal Crawford said.
Were proud of our city and we want
to make them proud of us.

NBA Capsules
Spurs 109, Mavericks 103
SAN ANTONIO Tony Parker
had 23 points hours after the birth of
his first child and the San Antonio
Spurs never trailed in a 109-103 vic-
tory over the Dallas Mavericks on
Wednesday night,
taking a 3-2 lead
in their first-
round series.
Manu Ginobili
had 19 points and Tiago Splitter added
17 points and 12 rebounds as San
Antonio regained home-court advan-
tage in the tense series against their
intrastate rival. Tim Duncan added
16 points and 12 rebounds and Kawhi
Leonard had 15 points for the Spurs.
Vince Carter scored 28 points, mak-
ing numerous heavily-contested shots
in going 10-for-16 from the field for
Dallas.
After averaging 16 points in the
series first four games, Mavericks
forward Dirk Nowitzki found the
stroke in scoring 26 points. Nowitzki
was 10-for-20 shooting but it wasnt
enough to overcome Parker and the
Spurs returning to form.
Carters 3-pointer with 3 minutes
left pulled Dallas within 98-94 but
Parker followed a minute later with his
only 3-pointer of the game, punctuat-
ing the shot with a loud scream.
Parker had his finest start since
the series opener despite playing on
little sleep following the early morn-
ing birth of his son, Josh, with fiancee
Axelle Francine. The All-Star point
guard mixed in three manic driving
layups and two mid-range jumpers to
start the game shooting 5-for-7.
Raptors 115, Nets 113
TORONTO Kyle Lowry scored a
career playoff-high 36 points, including
the go-ahead 3-pointer after Toronto had
blown a 26-point lead and the Raptors
beat the Brooklyn Nets 115-113 on
Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead in
their first-round series.
DeMar DeRozan had 23 points,
Jonas Valanciunas scored 16 and Greivis
Vasquez added 15 for the Raptors, who
would advance to face Miami in the sec-
ond round with a victory in Game 6 on
Friday in Brooklyn.
Game 7, if necessary, would be
Sunday in Toronto.
Joe Johnson scored 30 points and
Mirza Teletovic had 17 for the Nets, who
scored 44 points in the fourth quarter
but lost their final chance when Andray
Blatche fired a pass well over Deron
Williams head into the backcourt for a
turnover.
Toronto led 94-72 on a 3-point-
er by Vasquez with 11:23 remaining
but Brooklyn scored 15 of the next 18
points, including a 4-point play by Alan
Anderson, to make it 97-87 with 7:15
remaining.
Johnson later converted a 3-point play,
then made a 3 to tie it at 101 with 3:16
left.
Lowry put Toronto back on top with
a pair of free throws and a 3 by Vasquez
gave the Raptors a 5-point lead with 2:46
left.
Two free throws by Blatche and a 3 by
Teletovic tied it at 106 with 1:23 left but
Lowry made a 3, then followed a layup
by Blatche with a driving hook shot,
putting the Raptors up 111-108 with 27
seconds remaining.
Johnson missed a jumper and
DeRozan was fouled after grabbing the
rebound, making both to put Toronto up
by five, but Amir Johnson fouled out on
Andersons corner 3. Andersons free
throw made it 113-112 with less than 10
seconds left.
DeRozan added two more free throws
to give Toronto a 115-112 lead with 6
seconds left. After a timeout, Blatche
was fouled and made the first free
throw but missed the second. Blatche
grabbed the rebound and tried to pass it
to Williams but the ball sailed into the
backcourt for a turnover, sealing victory
for Toronto.

Results
(Continued from page 6)
Sterling is very much in line with
Schott on how not to run a franchise. Up
until the last few years, his Clippers were
amongst the worst franchises of all time,
regardless of league.
They didnt know how to build a fran-
chise their drafts were usually horrible
and even when they stumbled into a solid
pro, they never ponied up the moolah to
keep them.
He got extremely lucky by drafting
Blake Griffin and got Chris Paul only
because then-NBA Commish David Stern
would not allow him to be traded to the
more established Lakers.
He is what I call someone that, despite
himself, could touch a pile of, ahem, and
it would turn into a pile of gold. The
franchise that he bought and eventually
moved against the NBAs wishes to
Los Angeles for $12 million is now sup-
posedly worth in the neighborhood of a
billion bucks despite his incompetence.
I guess I get that Silver felt he had no
choice based on the increasing crescen-
do of anger within the NBA community
and actions of Clippers sponsors but to
take this radical move or else potentially
see the demise of the now-thriving NBA
(remember when the NBA Finals was on
tape-delay at 11:30 on evening nights on
CBS? I do, watching it on one of those
small black-and-white TV sets).
Here is the thing: if the NBA Board of
Governors vote to force Sterling to sell the
team (or even if the league decides to buy
it), he will not get what the franchise is
worth because potential owners, including
the man that caused Sterlings current out-
rage, one Earvin Magic Johnson, know
he has no leverage.
That $2.5 million fine will in essence
be walking-around money compared to
the losses he will take selling his team,
even if he tries to fight it.
What a heavy price to pay.
Hopefully, we will figure it out before
he leaves this mortal coil.
Musings
(Continued from page 6)
Macey Ashbaugh started the Lancer rally with a double to left field
before a single by Autumn Proctor put runners at the corners. After
Proctor took second without a throw, Devann Springer flied to center
field for the first out. The Lancers got on the scoreboard as a wild pitch
to Baylee Neate plated Ashbaugh and moved Proctor to third to make
it 1-0. Neate then followed with an infield single that scored Proctor as
the blue-and-gold went in front 2-0.
Upper Scioto Valley escaped further damage, though, when catcher
Maddy Lowery threw out Neate attempting to steal second for the
second out followed by a groundout by Julia Thatcher.
Lincolnview pushed the margin to 3-0 in the bottom of the second.
Kelsey Mohr flew out to start the inning before Mikenna Klinger drew
a walk. Klinger stole second and came around to score on a 2-out single
by Ashbaugh to make it 3-0.
Lancer pitcher Ashley McClure cruised through the Ram half of the
third, getting a pair of strikeouts in the frame, to give the hosts a chance
to widen the lead further.
The Lady Lancers loaded the bases with two outs after a Neate
single and a walk to Mohr, sandwiched around Thatcher reaching via a
USV error. Ram hurler Kylie Hites stopped the threat, though, getting
Klinger to pop out to end the inning.
We have to do a better job of taking advantage of opportunities
when we get them, noted Lancer head coach Kent McClure. Doing
the little things and eliminating mistakes are two key areas we need to
improve on.
With Lincolnview in front 3-0, the Rams started their comeback in
the fifth.
Chloe Hunsicker ignited the rally with a double to start the inning
and scored on a RBI single by Bree Mullins. Following a single by
Ashley Hoy that put runners on first and second, a wild pitch advanced
both runners one base.
The inning, though, took a big shift in momentum on the next play.
Maddy Lowerys ground ball was fielded by Neate at shortstop who
threw home to shoot down Mullins at home plate for the second out.
Lancer freshman pitcher Macala Ashbaugh, who had entered in relief
to start the inning, then fanned the RamsAbby Fry to end the threat.
Macala is young yet and she is going to just keep getting better,
added the elder McClure. She will just keep getting stronger. We
wanted to get Ashley a few innings and then get her out before tomor-
rows league game and Macala has done a nice job for us this year.
Upper Scioto Valley, though, took control in the sixth.
Payton Sanders, Hites and Hunsicker drew consecutive walks to
start the inning before a bases-loaded walk to Taylor Lawrence plated
Sanders and made it 3-2.
Mullins then followed with a single to center that got away from the
Lancer center fielder, clearing the bases and putting the Rams on top
5-3 with Mullins at third.
Opportunities were there and we didnt take advantage offen-
sively, commented the Lancer mentor. Defensively, we made some
errors and we werent able to overcome those things. Its been an issue
for us this year and we have to find a way to get better in those areas.
Bree Mullins then scored on a RBI single by Shelby Mullins to give
Upper Scioto Valley a 6-3 advantage.
The Lady Rams then put the game away in the seventh.
With two outs and runners at second and third, Bree Mullins picked
up her fourth hit of the night with a double to right center that scored
both runners for an 8-3 lead. Hoy followed with a single that plated
Bree Mullins to make it 9-3 Rams.
From there, Hites shut the door. The Ram pitcher got Springer and
Neate to fly out before Macala Ashbaugh grounded out to end the
contest.
Bree Mullins finished the night with three singles and a double
while driving in five runs to lead the Lady Rams, who move to 7-10
on the season. Hoy added two singles and an RBI with Hunsicker
recording a double. Shelby Mullins, Hites, Sanders and Lowery also
had singles.
Hites tossed the complete game victory, giving up 10 hits and two

Answer to Puzzle
Strength-training exercise can help slow bone loss
DEAR DOCTOR K:
Ive heard that weight-
bearing exercises are
a good way to prevent
osteoporosis. Can you
describe a few?
DEAR READER:
Use it or lose it: That
message applies to most
parts of our body. We see
it most clearly with the
muscles. If we dont use
them, they wither. But if
we regularly challenge
them, they bulk up.
The same is true with
bones. Most of our bones
bear our weight, except
when were lying down.
Thats what they want
to do. If we dont give
them enough time each
day to do that, they tend
to get thin.
This is a particular
problem if a person also
has a genetic tendency
to develop osteoporosis.
Inactivity speeds the
thinning of the bones that
occurs in osteoporosis.
This makes them more
susceptible to fractures.
We i g h t - b e a r i n g
(or strength-training)
exercise is any activity
that puts stress on
bones. Walking and
climbing stairs are
examples. Weight-
bearing exercises can
help to slow bone loss
and stimulate new bone
growth.
A complete strength-
training workout
involves eight to 12
exercises. Together, they
exercise all your major
muscle groups.
Below, Ill describe
three strength-training
exercises. They are
designed for older adults
and people who are new
to strength training.
Do strength-training
exercises two or three
times a week. Allow at
least 48 hours between
workouts. Try to do
each exercise eight to
12 times, or repetitions
(reps). These
repetitions make up
one set. Do two to four
sets of each exercise.
Rest for 30 to 60 seconds
between sets.
To do these exercises,
youll need a sturdy
chair, athletic shoes,
an exercise mat and
weights. (You should
be able to do no more
than eight to 12 reps of
each exercise with the
weights you choose.)
-- Bridge: Lie on your
back with your knees
bent and your feet flat on
the floor. Put your hands
next to your hips with
palms flat on the floor.
Keep your back straight
as you lift your buttocks
as high as you can off
the floor. Pause. Lower
your buttocks without
touching the floor, then
lift again.
-- Standing calf raise:
Stand with your feet flat
on the floor. Hold on to
the back of your chair for
balance. Raise yourself
up on the balls of your
feet, as high as possible.
Hold briefly, then lower.
-- Overhead press:
Stand with your feet
slightly apart. Hold a
dumbbell in each hand
on either side of your
shoulders, at shoulder
height, with your palms
facing forward. Slowly
lift the weights straight
up until your arms are
fully extended. Pause.
Slowly lower the
dumbbells to shoulder
level.
Ive put additional
s t r e n g t h - t r a i n i n g
exercises, as well as
illustrations of the
exercises Ive described
above, on my website,
AskDoctorK.com. You
dont need to go to a
gym; a small investment
in buying exercise mats
and weights allows you
to do all the exercises at
home.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Daughter cant accept
mothers new relationship
Dear Annie: I was wid-
owed fve years ago, after 36
years of marriage. Recently,
I reunited with my boyfriend
from junior high school.
Harry is in the fnal weeks
of a divorce.
It turns out that
Harry and I are
very much in love.
Unfortunately, my
oldest daughter is
extremely angry
that I am dating a
man whose divorce
is not fnal. She re-
fuses to meet Har-
ry and wants me
to stop seeing him.
She will not visit
me or permit me
to spend time with my two
grandchildren as long as I am
with Harry.
I have always been close
to my three adult children. I
am terribly hurt by my daugh-
ters refusal to allow contact.
We have gone to counseling
separately, and I am hoping,
in time, that we can get some
joint counseling. But right
now, my daughter wont
even talk to me. We are at
an impasse. Any advice? --
Widow
Dear Widow: If your
daughter truly objects to your
seeing a man who is not yet
legally divorced, then there
will be no change until his
status is resolved. And you
might consider waiting.
While you knew Harry as a
young girl, your current re-
lationship is new. Please take
your time.
Your daughter also may
feel that you are trying to
replace her father, and she
could reject any man you
date. Many grown children
have a diffcult time accept-
ing that their widowed par-
ent is in love with someone
else. They feel that as long as
you remain a grieving widow,
your late husband is the love
of your life. Anything else
is a betrayal. It is, of course,
terribly selfsh of any child
to deny parents such future
happiness and expect them
to live in the past. We hope
counseling helps you both.
Dear Annie: My 83-year-
old husband has always been
a quiet man. He now lives at
a nursing home for medical
reasons and comes home ev-
ery day to visit me.
After a few words of greet-
ing, he sits down and remains
silent, expecting me to enter-
tain him with conversation.
Hes turning into his father,
who never said more than
fve sentences to
me. Im not in the
best of health and
dont do much so-
cializing, but I can
speak pleasantly
about current world
affairs and events in
our childrens lives.
Some days I dont
feel like talking at
all and would like
to just sit and watch
television.
My husbands
attitude is making me angry
and exhausted. Ive spoken
to him about it, but he is too
lazy to contribute anything.
He has two friends and no so-
cial activities. He makes me
feel like screaming. Any sug-
gestions? -- Iceberg
Dear Iceberg: You are
taking on a bigger burden
than necessary. The fact that
your husband visits doesnt
mean he is a guest whom you
have to entertain. You are not
obligated to make conversa-
tion with someone who nei-
ther contributes nor cares.
While he undoubtedly appre-
ciates news of the children,
there is nothing wrong with
having a visit where the two
of you watch TV together.
Accept him as he is, and talk
only as much as you want.
We hope this alleviates some
of your frustration.
Dear Annie: I have an-
other perspective on Con-
cerned Cousin, who worried
about grandchildren occa-
sionally sharing a bed with
the grandparents.
My husband and I have
12 grandchildren. When they
sleep over, we put them in the
same little tent our daugh-
ter once slept in when we
camped out, along with a sec-
ond small tent we purchased
later. The kids love it, and
we can keep an eye on them
throughout the night.
In this day and age, it is
important to take precautions.
We are loving, caring grand-
parents, but the reality is, if a
parent decides to punish you,
you can be accused of terrible
things you never did. -- Pro-
tect the Grandparents

Tankers carrying oil
derail, catch fire in Va.
MICHAEL FELBERBAUM
Associated Press
LYNCHBURG, Va.
Several CSX train cars carrying
crude oil derailed and caught
fire Wednesday along the James
River, with three black tankers
ending up in the water and leaking
some of their contents, becoming
the most recent crash involving
oil trains that has safety experts
pushing for better oversight.
Nearby buildings were evac-
uated for a time in downtown
Lynchburg, but officials said there
were no injuries and the city on its
website and Twitter said firefight-
ers decided to let the fire burn
out. Three or four tankers were
breached on the 15-car train that
CSX said was on its way from
Chicago to an unspecified des-
tination. Most of the cars were
knocked off the tracks.
Online photos and videos
showed large flames and thick,
black smoke right after the crash
before the fire burned itself out.
Still, officials were keeping peo-
ple out of the area.
Nicole Gibs, 32, a server at
the Depot Grille, just across the
street, said she was waiting on a
table when she heard a train that
sounded louder than usual. She
saw several train cars wobbling,
and then one fell over, spark-
ing a fire immediately. Several
other cars also toppled like Tyco
trains, she said.
The manager yelled:
Evacuate! and the restaurant
immediately began emptying,
with some people in wheelchairs
being carried down steps as the
fire raged, filling the air with
black smoke. The people from
the restaurant moved a block
away, then two.
You could feel the heat like
you were standing by a camp-
fire, Gibs said. It was hot.
Concern about the safety of
oil trains was heightened last July
when runaway oil train derailed
and exploded in Lac-Megantic,
Quebec, near the Maine border.
Forty-seven people died and
30 buildings were incinerated.
Canadian investigators said the
combustibility of the 1.3 million
gallons of light, sweet Bakken
crude released in Lac-Megantic
was comparable to gasoline.
This is another national
wake-up call, Jim Hall, a for-
mer National Transportation
Safety Board chairman, said of
the Lynchburg crash. We have
these oil trains moving all across
the United States through com-
munities and the growth and dis-
tribution of this has all occurred,
unfortunately, while the federal
regulators have been asleep.
This is just an area in which
the federal rulemaking process is
too slow to protect the American
people, he said.
There have been eight sig-
nificant oil train accidents in the
U.S. and Canada in the past year
involving trains hauling crude oil,
including several that resulted in
spectacular fires, according to the
safety board. Also Wednesday,
two locomotives and three freight
cars of a CSX train derailed near
the East Carolina University
campus in North Carolina, and
leaked a chemical for fertilizer.
Environmental officials said it
posed little danger.
Military benefits
survive defense cuts
By DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON An Army corporal
would get a full housing allowance to rent
an off-base apartment while a military fam-
ily will see little change in their grocery
costs at the commissary as an election-year
Congress rebuffed Pentagon efforts to trim
military benefits.
The House Armed Services person-
nel subcommittee voted unanimously on
Wednesday to leave intact the current mili-
tary health care system, the housing allow-
ance and much of the Pentagons $1.4 bil-
lion in direct subsidies to the commissaries.
Im just really concerned about mili-
tary families and this doesnt need to be,
Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., chairman of the
personnel subcommittee, said of the pro-
posed Pentagon cuts after the panel vote.
To me the primary focus of the national
government is national defense. We will be
providing.
The panels action marked the first
step in the defense budget process on
Capitol Hill, with the full Armed Services
Committee expected to approve the bill
next week.
Facing diminished budgets, three defense
secretaries and senior officers have main-
tained that the cost of personnel benefits
have become unsustainable and threaten
the Pentagons ability to prepare the force
for warfighting.
The department has proposed gradual
reductions that would increase out-of-pock-
et expenses for current and retired military
as it faces a sober reality military pay
and benefits comprise the largest share of
the budget, $167.2 billion out of $495.6
billion.
America has an obligation to make
sure service members and their families
are fairly and appropriately compensated
and cared for during and after their time in
uniform, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
told Congress last month. We also have a
responsibility to give our troops the finest
training and equipment possible so that
whenever America calls upon them, they
are prepared.
Every attempt by the Pentagon to trim
benefits has faced fierce resistance from
congressional Republicans and Democrats
as well as powerful outside military orga-
nizations that argue the benefits help attract
men and women to the all-volunteer force.
They also contend that service members
and their families make unique sacrifices
and deserve all the benefits.
Still, concerns about fiscal realities
emerged during the panels brief discussion
about the legislation.
Hundreds rescued from
floodwaters in Fla., Ala.
By MELISSA NELSON-GABRIEL and
MICHAEL KUNZELMAN
Associated Press
PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. People were plucked off
rooftops or climbed into their attics to get away from fast-
rising waters when nearly 2 feet of rain fell on the Florida
Panhandle and Alabama coast in the span of about 24 hours,
the latest bout of severe weather that began with tornadoes in
the Midwest.
On Wednesday, roads were chewed up into pieces or wiped
out entirely and neighborhoods were inundated, making res-
cues difficult for hundreds of people who called for help when
they were caught off guard by the single rainiest day ever
recorded in Pensacola.
Boats and Humvees zigzagged through the flooded streets
to help stranded residents. A car and truck plummeted 25 feet
when portions of a scenic highway collapsed, and one Florida
woman died when she drove her car into high water, officials
said.
Near the Alabama-Florida line, water started creeping
into Brandi McCoons mobile home, so her fiance, Jonathan
Brown, wrapped up her nearly 2-year-old son Noah in a blan-
ket and they swam in neck-deep water to their car about 50
feet away.
Then, the car was flooded.
Every which way we turned, there was a big ol pile of
water, she said.
Brown called 911 and eventually a military vehicle picked
them up and took them to a shelter.
Kyle Schmitz was at his Pensacola home with his 18-month-
old son Oliver on Tuesday night when heavy rain dropped dur-
ing a 45-minute span. He gathered up his son, his computer and
important papers and left.
I opened the garage and the water immediately flowed in
like a wave, he said. The water was coming up to just below
the hood of my truck and I just gassed it.
Schmitz and his son also made it out safely.
In Alabama, Capt. David Spies of Fish River/Marlow Fire
and Rescue said he was part of a team who found two women
and a young boy trapped in the attic of a modular home.
Spies said they received the first call of help before mid-
night Tuesday but they couldnt find the group until about 8
a.m. Wednesday. By then, the water was 2 feet below the roof.
A firefighter used an axe to punch a hole through the roof and
free them.
They were very scared, they were very upset. I wouldve
been, too, Spies said.
There were at least 30 rescues in the Mobile area of
Alabama. Florida appeared to be the hardest hit. Gov. Rick
Scott said officials there received about 300 calls from strand-
ed residents.
At the Pensacola airport, 15.55 inches of rain fell on
Tuesday before midnight setting a record for the rainiest
single day in the city, according to data since 1880. By compar-
ison, the airport in drought-stricken Los Angeles has recorded
15.9 inches of rain since Jan. 1, 2012.
Pensacola and nearby Mobile are two of the rainiest cities
in the U.S., averaging more than five feet of rain in a year,
according to the National Climatic Data Center.
The National Weather Service said forecasters issued flash
flood warnings as early as Friday, yet many people were still
caught unaware.
Colorado eyes
edibles rules as
more people eat pot
By KRISTEN WYATT
Associated Press
DENVER Colorados
marijuana experiment is
threatened by the popularity
of eating it instead of smoking
it, leading the pot industry to
join health officials and state
regulators to try to curb the
problem of consumers ingest-
ing too much weed.
A task force gathered
Wednesday to start brain-
storming ways to educate con-
sumers, including a standard
warning system on popular
edibles, which is the industry
term for marijuana that has
been concentrated and infused
into food or drink.
One idea was to fashion
labels on edible pot like the
difficulty guidelines on ski
slopes, a system very familiar
to Colorado residents. Weak
marijuana products would
have green dots, grading up to
black diamonds for the most
potent edibles.
We should have a marking
so that when people come in,
they know what theyre get-
ting, said Chris Haslor of the
Colorado District Attorneys
Council.

GOP blocks Democrats' minimum wage try in Senate
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Senate
Republicans derailed a Democratic drive
Wednesday to raise the federal minimum
wage, blocking a cornerstone of President
Barack Obamas economic plans and
ensuring the issue will be a major feature
of this falls congressional elections.
Facing the threat of a GOP Senate
takeover, Democrats have forced votes on
a procession of bills designed to ampli-
fy their message of economic fairness.
Republican senators accused Democrats
of playing politics by pushing a minimum
wage measure designed to lure voters but
too expensive for employers and sure to
result in lost jobs and higher inflation.
This is about trying to make this side
of the aisle look bad and hard-hearted,
and to try to rescue this midterm elec-
tion, said No. 2 Senate GOP leader John
Cornyn of Texas.
The legislation by Sen. Tom Harkin
of Iowa would increase the $7.25 hourly
minimum wage for American workers in
three steps until it reached $10.10 after 30
months, with annual increases for infla-
tion afterward. The minimum has been
at $7.25 since 2009, with 3.3 million
Americans including disproportionate
numbers of women and younger people
earning that figure or less last year.
We saw this morning a majority of
senators saying yes, but almost every
Republican saying no to giving America
a raise, Obama said in pointedly political
remarks at a White House event with low-
wage workers. And then if they keep put-
ting politics ahead of working Americans,
you can put them out of office.
All but daring Republicans to vote
against the measure, Harkin said before
the vote, Whos going to vote to give
these people a fair shot at the American
dream? And whos going to vote against
it?
The answer came moments later when
senators voted 54-42 to continue debating
the legislation six votes short of the
60 needed to keep the measure moving
forward. Every voting Republican but one
Bob Corker of Tennessee voted no.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of
Nevada was the only Democrat to vote
with Republicans. That was a procedural
move that will let Reid stage a future vote
on the measure, underscoring the political
value Democrats see in it.
Though Obama backed Harkins
legislation, the president proposed a $9
minimum wage in his 2013 State of the
Union address. That has fueled talk by
lawmakers including Maines two sena-
tors, Republican Susan Collins and inde-
pendent Angus King, that compromise is
possible.
But election-year politics suggests that
would be difficult.
Leaders of the GOP-run House have
shown no interest in even allowing debate,
giving Senate Democrats little incentive
to cut a deal. And Obama has recently
signed executive orders requiring a $10.10
minimum for many federal contractors,
making it hard for him to agree to a lower
figure for everyone else.
Polls show that while the overall pub-
lic favors an increase, Democratic voters
strongly support one but Republicans
especially tea party backers are against
it. Powerful interest groups on each side
are also against a middle ground, with
unions backing a full increase and busi-
ness groups opposing one.
We are not going to compromise on
locking people into poverty, Reid told
reporters, adding later, Well compro-
mise, but not on the number.
Republicans in turn point to a report
by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget
Office, which estimated that an increase
to $10.10 could cost about 500,000 jobs in
2016. They did not mention that the report
also found the boost would mean higher
incomes for 16.5 million earners and lift
900,000 people out of poverty.
To pay for the raises, the money has
to come from somewhere, said Sen. Mike
Enzi, R-Wyo. So if you like the dollar
deal at your fast food, get ready for $1.50.
Instead of a minimum wage increase,
Congress should work on bills creating
jobs, such as allowing construction of
the controversial Keystone XL oil pipe-
line from Canada to Texas, Republicans
said.

All those duties are completed by

pool opens at noon, Mansfield said.
When the diamonds are in full use,
parks employees check the dugouts sev-
eral times a day and move bases and the
pitchers mound for the various levels of
play. The outfield foul lines are also kept
refreshed.
We use 3-4 seasonal helpers every day
for an hour or so on the 4-6 diamonds to
get them ready for the day, Mansfield
said. In June and July, theres not a dia-
mond open in the evening.
Groundskeeping is by far Mansfields
biggest task.
We have 100 acres of parks to mow
and trim as well as the retention ponds,
the wastewater and water treatment plant
and all the lift stations; the right-of-ways
on Gressel Drive, Shenk Road, in front
of Cabos, the ambulatory care center and
Arbys; and the reservoir, which alone
takes 3-3 1/2 days, is mowed every three
weeks, he said. During the mowing sea-
son, someone is on a mower every day. It
also has to be someone who is trained to
operate the equipment. Not just anyone can
hop on the mower and go.
On top of that, Mansfield said the job of
mowing residential properties also falls to
his department, which takes two employ-
ees for safety reasons.
About 15-20 times each summer, we
mow properties that have violated the citys
ordinance, Mansfield added. Either the
homeowner is unable to keep up with the
mowing or the owner is absent.
Parks workers also help with larger
events like the two-day Kiwanis Fourth of
July Celebration, including City and Minor
League tournaments, softball tournaments
and the Families United softball tourna-
ment; six Rotary Club Music in the Parks
concerts, an average of 70 shelterhouse
rentals and 8-9 pool parties. The pool also
hosts a Day Camp with 100-120 kids.
During football season, Mansfields
flex plan is a must. With gridders on the
field Friday, Saturday and Sunday, parks
employees are kept hopping seven days a
week. They have to spread those hours out
to cover everything.
While manpower takes the bulk of
Mansfields budget, utilities, supplies,
repairs, fuel and maintenance also take
their chunk. Utilities are more than
$20,000 a year, maintenance is $7-8,000,
maintenance of the buildings is $17,000,
fuel is $11,000 and two mower decks
were replaced at $6,000. Remainder of
his budget is cleaning supplies, grass
seed, chemicals and paper supplies for
the restrooms.
If the Parks and Rec is combined with
the Maintenance Department, a lot of this
stuff just wont get done and some pro-
grams will be eliminated, Mansfield said.
There just wont be enough people or time
to take care of everything.

Gov't report says US lost $11.2B on GM bailout
NEW YORK (AP) A new report says taxpayers lost $11.2
billion on the governments bailout of General Motors.
The estimate comes from a quarterly report Wednesday to
Congress by a government watchdog that oversees the bailout, and
is up from a previous estimate of $10.5 billion.
The Detroit automaker needed the $49.5 billion bailout to sur-
vive its bankruptcy restructuring in 2009. The company went pub-
lic again in November 2010, and the government sold its last shares
of GM in December. The report says the Treasury Department
wrote off an $826 million administrative claim against General
Motors Co. in March, ending its involvement with the company.
In an interview last year, Special Inspector General Christy
Romero said there was no question the department and the tax-
payers would lose money on GM. The agency said last year that
the government lost $2.9 billion on the bailout of Chrysler, which
cost $12.5 billion.
Treasury Department spokesman Adam Hodge said the agency
was not looking to make money.
The goal of Treasurys investment in GM was never to make
a profit, but to help save the American auto industry, and by any
measure that effort was successful, he said.
Only one auto-related company is still partly under government
control: auto lender Ally Financial Inc. Ally is the former financing
business of GM, and earlier this month it went public again with an
IPO that raised $2.38 billion. The Treasury Department owns a 17
percent stake in the company.
Auto companies received $79.7 billion in the bailout, and the
Treasury Department has been repaid $59.1 billion.
The department allocated $474.8 billion to the Troubled Asset
Relief Program, or TARP, to bail out banks, insurers, auto compa-
nies and others during the financial crisis. It says it has recovered
$438.4 billion.
