VAN WERT Broadband
Internet access in Ohio con-
tinues to increase as the task
of bringing the Internet to
anyone who desires a connec-
tion continues. New research
released earlier this month by
Connect Ohio shows 86.73%
of Ohio households have ac-
cess to xed broadband at 25
Mbps download speed across
the state. That marks a 25 per-
centage-point increase com-
pared to two and a half years
ago. The states broadband
availability for a slower con-
nect speed is 98.79 percent,
not including mobile wireless
service.
In Van Wert County, that
percentage steps up to 99.96
percent of the countys 11,439
households. In addition, the
next highest download speed
(up to 3 Mbps) sees little
change in availability. Ap-
proximately 99.19 percent of
Van Wert County households
have broadband availability at
that speed.
Just ve years ago, Van
Wert County was lagging be-
hind in broadband availability
and even in Internet usage. At
that time, only 72 percent of
the county households even
had a computer in the house,
compared to 76 percent state-
wide. Also in 2009, just 64
percent of the households had
home Internet, and only 47
percent had a broadband con-
nection. In fact, 59 percent, or
three out of ve, respondents
said they either did not need
broadband access or did not
understand the benets. Just
as importantly, 20 percent
said broadband was not avail-
able to them at their home.
Much progress has been
made to increase broadband
accessibility across Ohio. I
commend all of the broad-
band stakeholders who con-
tinue to work together to ad-
dress this issue, said Senator
Joe Uecker, chairman of the
Ohio broadband and technol-
ogy caucus. However, ac-
cessibility issues still exist,
particularly in Appalachia;
stakeholders must continue to
focus their efforts on this area
to promote economic develop-
ment and educational oppor-
tunities in the region.
A 25 percentage point in-
crease in 25 Mbps speeds is
evidence of Ohios providers
investing in increased capac-
ity, said Stu Johnson, execu-
tive director of Connect Ohio.
However it also demonstrates
that the investment is concen-
trated in enhancing existing
infrastructure as the percent-
age of Ohioans with less than
768 Kbps availability remains
unchanged.
The new broadband avail-
ability research shows that
high-speed (at least 50 Mbps
download/1.5 Mbps upload)
broadband availability has in-
creased 25 percentage points
since October of 2011. That
percentage has increaced by
almost three percentage points
just since October 2013.
This is the ninth compre-
hensive broadband availabil-
ity data release from Connect
Ohio through the State Broad-
band Initiative (SBI). Connect
Ohio is a subsidiary of Con-
nected Nation, which does
mapping research and policy
in 10 states comprising over
36% of the nations landmass.
Broadband Internet availability makes great progress locally since 2009

Kloeppel remembers D-Day
BY HELEN KAVERMAN
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS On June 6, the free
world commemorated and celebrated the
70th Anniversary of D-Day, the invasion
of Normandy during World War II. This
was a turning point in the war but many
brave men gave their lives for that cause.
Melvin Kloeppel of Delphos was one
of those brave men who landed on Oma-
ha Beach. Kloeppel and his wife, Alma,
live on their farm north of Delphos. Mel-
vin will celebrate his 94th birthday on
June 19. Alma turned 91 in March.
Kloeppel saw 11 different countries
while he was serving during World War
II. He went across Europe from France
to Lenz, Austria all the way in com-
bat. He served in Pattonss Army and the
Battle of the Bulge and ended up in Lenz,
Austria, two days before the war ended.
He was awarded the highest award, The
Bronze Star. He was injured during com-
bat and the medic treated him for the
burn on his neck.
The medic told me if I went to the
ofcers tent to be treated, I would have
been awarded the Purple Heart, Kloep-
pel recalled. I preferred to stay right
where I was, rather than risk being hit by
a bullet going from one place to another.
Before D-Day, most of the soldiers
had been stationed across the channel in
the United Kingdom. They boarded the
ships the night before the invasion.
We didnt know what to expect but in
the morning, we were told to eat a good
hot breakfast because it might be the last
one for awhile, Kloeppel said. That
was also the last warm bed for months.
Many times we slept in the snow.
The troops disembarked the ships to
the amphibious craft and had to wade
through water to get to the beach and
then climb up the cliffs while under re.
From there it was months of combat.
When we reached the top of the
cliffs, we saw dead bodies all over,
Kloeppel said.

US home ownership
dips to 1995 rates
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI MEDIA Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Many fac-
tors are suppressing the
American Dream. The reality
of owning a home has been
stied by high unemployment,
stringent lending practices
and higher house prices and is
pushing buying a home out of
the reach of many Americans.
According to the U.S. Cen-
sus Bureau, the American
home ownership rate stands at
64.8 percent in the rst quar-
ter of 2014. In 2004, the rate
peaked at 69.2 percent and has
steadily decreased 4.4 per-
cent. Current rates are simi-
lar to those in the second and
third quarters of 1995 which
were 64.7 and 65 percent.
Drops in Ohio home own-
ership rates almost mirror the
U.S. decrease. In 2012, only
67.9 percent of Ohio residents
owned their homes after a
steady decrease from 73.3
percent in 2005, which is a de-
crease of 4.2 percent. The cur-
rent rate of home ownership is
signicantly less (1.3 percent)
than in 1996, which stood at
69.2 percent.
The low ownership rate
suggests the housing mar-
ket recovery of the last three
years was driven by investors
who were snapping up proper-
ties and converting them into
rental units.
June is National Hom-
eownership Month and a time
to reect on what homeown-
ership means to individuals
and families. A house is a -
nancial asset, a place to live
and raise children, a plan for
the future and an investment
in the community. It is also a
time to reassess personal and/
or nancial goals when plan-
ning for the purchase of a new
home.

REPORT
VAN WERT Three per-
sons were arrested Friday after
Van Wert County Sheriffs dep-
uties and the West Central Ohio
Crime Task Force, using Allen
County Sheriffs Ofce Tacti-
cal Team, executed a search
warrant. Each of the three
31-year-old Derek Showalter,
28-year-old Jessica L. Thomp-
son, and 27-year-old Brandon
L. Thompson were arrested
and jailed. Showwalter and Jes-
sica Thompson were charged
with second-degree felony
heroin possession, and Bran-
don Thompson was charged
with violating the terms of his
probation. They will each be ar-
raigned in Van Wert Municipal
Court.
According to Van Wert
County Sheriff Thomas M.
Riggenbach, the warrant was
executed at 13027 U.S. 127 just
north of Van Wert. An investi-
gation had reported drug activ-
ity at that address.
When ofcers arrived, they
found a young child at the
home. That child was turned
over to Van Wert County Chil-
drens Services. Inside the
house ofcers seized hypoder-
mic needles, money, a moder-
ate amount of suspected heroin,
a handgun, and some white
powder suspected to be meth-
amphetamine.
According to Riggenbach,
a nuisance abatement letter
will be sent to notify the prop-
erty owner of what occurred on
this property. The letter directs
property owners to take action
in the hopes of preventing any
future illegal activity. Riggen-
bach said the law does allow for
the seizure of property, if the
property owner knowingly per-
mits illegal activity to continue
within their property.
Anyone with information
on drug activity should contact
the Van Wert County Sheriffs
Ofce at (419) 238-3866, use
the Submit a Crime Tip tab
at www.vanwertcountysheriff.
com or contacting Crime Stop-
pers at (419) 238-STOP.

County Sheriffs Ofce, Allen
County Sheriffs Ofce, Lima
Police Department, Paulding

EATONTON, Ga. (AP)
The unsolved beheading of
a retiree and the killing of his
elderly wife has so rattled their
gated, lakeside Georgia com-
munity that neighbors are cast-
ing about for even outlandish
explanations. Was it a mob hit?
A drug dealer? A hungry alliga-
tor?
The peaceful neighborhood
where the couple was found
dead hadnt seen as much as a
burglary in recent memory.
Then, in early May, con-
cerned friends found the head-
less body of Russell Dermond,
88, in the garage of his home
on Lake Oconee. Shirley
Dermond, 87, was originally
thought to have been abducted
until her body was found a few
weeks later in the lake. Russell
Dermonds head has still not
been found.
Even though law enforce-
ment thinks the Dermonds like-
ly knew the person or people
who attacked them, their ad-
vanced age, the beheading after
he was killed, and the fact that
it all happened in a seemingly
secure community that has a
manned guardhouse has left
neighbors rattled, according to
Putnam County Sheriff How-
ard Sills.
Couples killing remains unsolved

Glockenspiel by Alaina Kortokrax
The Glockenspiel looks like a xylophone, but is closer
to an instrument called a metallophone due to its higher
pitch. Glockenspiel in a German name. Glocken means
bells and spiel means set in German. Glockenspiels
are popular among marching bands and military bands.
Also, the glockenspiel belongs to the instrument family
that includes marimbas and vibraphones. Unlike most of
the instruments in its family, it can only play about three
octaves.
Wedding Dresses by Maggie Kimmett
In 1840, Queen Victoria was the one to begin the tradi-
tion of wedding dresses. Before that, the bride would wear a
dress of any color like blue, black, red etc. Wedding dress-
es were more of a matter of politics than love. The more
wealthy women would obviously have a more outstanding
dress. Poorer farm women would just wear her best dress
that she owned instead of a white wedding dress.
In the 1900s, the wedding dresses were very lacy and had
a thin see-through material. The dresses back then did not
have many (if any) sparkles and bling. The larger/poof-
ier dresses with more design and detail began to progress
through the late 1900s and early 2000s. Lots of off-whites
and eggshell colors were used in early wedding dresses.
Also, in the mid-to-late 1900s, silk became a very popular
fabric used in wedding dresses. Silk showed elegance and
wealth.
Instead of long veils that are worn today by brides, the
brides back in the day would wear a fancy hat. Wedding
dresses have taken a large progressive step in detail and de-
sign and they will continue to become more modied and
stylish.
Ultrasound Machines by Aaron Stant
Ultrasound is energy created by sound waves that
have a frequency above 20,000 Hz. This is far above the
frequency that a human ear can detect.
Ultrasound is commonly used by obstetricians to analyze
the health of an unborn fetus. The process for this procedure
is fascinating. The doctor rubs cool gel on the mothers ab-
domen to improve the quality of the sound waves. Next, the
doctor moves a transducer, a device that projects the sound
waves, around the abdomen. The sound waves reect back
to the transducer from the tissues, which creates a picture on
a screen. This can be very exciting for a parent because they
are able to see the baby before it is born.

OTTAWA If your weekday schedule is such that
you dont watch much daytime television, then you prob-
ably havent caught the classic game show, The Price is
Right, in a while. But if you are a Putnam County native,
or better still, are acquainted with Ottawa resident Ruth
Drerup, you probably made sure to catch the episode that
aired on June 11.
Ruth Drerup, Ottawa, was able to check a big item off
her bucket list on April 15 when she appeared as a contes-
tant on the daytime-TV staple, The Price is Right.
As Drerup herself will tell you, everyone that knows her
has been forewarned not to call her during the 11 oclock
hour, Monday through Friday, because she watches the
show and has since the early days of its airing on CBS. She
is such a fan that last Christmas her children presented her
with a large envelope that contained tickets to the show as
well as a uorescent green shirt imprinted with Ottawa,
Ohio loves Drew Carey. For those out of the loop, Carey
took over as host of the show in 2007.
I dont think she believed she was going until we
booked the plane tickets, said Drerups daughter, Mary Jo
Williams. Williams and her sisters, Laurie and Lynn, accom-
panied their mother to California as well as in The Price is
Right audience.
Although the show was lmed in April, Drerup wasnt al-
lowed, by the shows producers, to reveal how she faired as a
contestant until the episode rolled out to viewers around the
world. In honor of the big reveal, the Drerups hosted a party at
the Ottawa American Legion Post 63 on June 11. Friends and
family packed the hall and crowded around every television to
watch Drerup play the game that means so much to her.
Her silence paid off. Because Drerup was able to keep mum
about not only making it up on stage, spinning the wheel to
land on a solid $100 which allowed her to move as one of two
nal contestants in the nal showcase (she won), she will now
be able to claim her big prize of trips to Seattle, Portugal and
Australia a prize package valued up to $41,000.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, June 14 & Sunday, June 15, 2014 A5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
The image is still easy to remem-
ber: A black and white video shows
an angry man in a suit, shaking his
nger as he speaks while anked
on both sides by Alabama National
Guardsmen.
It is the rst memory of Governor
George Wallace for most Americans
as he vehemently protested the de-
segregation of the University of Ala-
bama in 1963. The civil rights move-
ment was in full force with President
Kennedys administration putting
the pressure on southern states and
institutions to accept the movement
of the nation, 100 years after the
Civil War, toward equal rights for
African-Americans.
Vivian Malone and James Hood
were two African-American stu-
dents who had attempted to enroll at
the University of Alabama but were
denied until federal action forced
the school to accept them. Wallaces
views on segregation were well-pub-
licized. He chose the University of
Alabama incident to make his name
nationally known and made his cer-
emonial blockage of the door on tele-
vision.
No violence occurred on the
Tuscaloosa campus during the dem-
onstration though the two students
did not attend classes that day. The
next day, however, Malone and Hood
were able to go to their respective
courses without incident. They were
tailed by federal marshals in their
cars as the two walked to their class-
es and others were on duty outside
the classroom buildings. A third Af-
rican-American student, Dave Mc-
Glathery, enrolled in the university
later in the week.
Not everyone who was working
for change in the south was treated
humanely and with respect. On the
same day Malone and Hood went to
their rst classes on campus, civil
rights leader Medgar Evers was shot
and killed in the driveway of his
Jackson, Mississippi, home.
Events over two days reveal the depth of civil rights problems
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP)
Gov . George C. Wallace barred the
doors of the University of Alabama
to two Negro students today and
President Kennedy reacted by or-
dering the Alabama National Guard
into federal military service.
Kennedy directed Secretary of
Defense Robert S. McNamara to put
in active service any or all of the
units of the army national guard and
of the air national guard of the state
for an indenite period.
The President acted because, he
said, his commands to Gov. George
C. Wallace against unlawful ob-
structions of justice had not been
obeyed.
Gov. Wallace barred the doors of
the university to the Negro students
but federal authorities took them to
the dormitories on the campus.
Wallace stood in the doorway of
the registration center but there was
no physical confrontation involving
the governor and the students. They
sat in a car with windows rolled
down outside the building to hear
Wallace read a proclamation bar-
ring them.
They will register today, they
will go to school tomorrow, Nich-
olas Katzenbach, deputy U.S. at-
torney general, told Wallace at the
doorway.
Shortly thereafter, Edwin C.
Guthman, information chief for
the Justice Department told news-
men that the Negro students, Miss
Vivian Malone and James Hood
would be registered this afternoon.
Whether federal troops might be on
the scene could not be immediately
determined.
Guthman said the registration
would take place in Foster Auditori-
um, the building where Wallace had
stood a few minutes earlier. He said
they would pas through the doorway
where Wallace had stood.
The campus has more than 1,000
armed state forces sealing the entrances.
However, Wallace had said be-
fore the Negroes arrived there would
be no violence. He made his gesture
and it was a dramatic one and
may now make no further efforts to
block the integration of the school.
President Kennedy commanded
him to cease and desist from any
illegal obstructions of justice.
The cease and desist order
called for the prevention of con-
spiracies or domestic violence in
the Alabama racial crisis.
It commanded the governor and
all others engaged in or who may
engage in unlawful obstructions of
justice, assemblies, combinations,
conspiracies or domestic violence
in that state to cease and desist there
from.
Wallace grimly said, No com-
ment after the Kennedy proclama-
tion was read and countered with:
I have a statement which I wish
to read. He then read his ve-page
statement.

Swing the bat!
Being a Little League base-
ball coach is something I really
enjoyed. Its been more than
three decades since I coached
8-to-10-year-old boys but I still
remember the fun of teaching
the boys the game of baseball
and the challenges of trying
to help the less talented ones.
Each year I was blessed to have
several players who could hit,
run, eld, throw and knew the
basics of baseball. Each year
I also had a few boys who did
not even know how to hold
the bat properly much less the
rules of the game. We only had
a couple of practices before we
actually started playing games
so there wasnt much time to
work with the kids, much less
help those who didnt seem to
have much natural talent for
the game.
One of the best players on
my team was my son, John. He
and his big brother, Mike, (who
played in the older boys league)
were both All Star players.
John would play wherever I
asked him to. As an 8-year-old,
John was one of the smallest
players on my team. He played
second base most of the time
and also got experience as a
pitcher and catcher. He pitched
a complete game and was the
winning pitcher in his rst try
at the position. Looking back,
I realize how nervous he must
have been about pitching for
the rst time. I can still re-
member him standing on the
pitchers mound, taking a lot of
deep breaths and looking kind
of worried about letting down
his team and his dad but he did
great!
One of my fun memories
was the rst time I had John
put on the catchers equipment
and play that position. The
catchers equipment was too
big for him but he was doing
a good job when the home-
base umpire called time out.
The umpire motioned for me
to come toward home plate so
I walked over to see what he
wanted. He was smiling and
told me that I needed to help
John adjust his equipment.
We were both laughing when
he pointed out to me that Johns
protective cup had slid down
his right leg. I helped make the
adjustment and although John
was probably a little embar-
rassed, the game resumed.
In 1982, I was the coach and
sponsor of our team, Dan Ea-
ton Photo. John was our short-
stop and one of several really
good players on our team. We
won most of our games but my
goal was for the boys to have
fun, let everyone get to play,
and try to win the game.
Eric McClung was kind of
a Huckleberry Finn look-
ing kid. I dont remember ever
meeting his parents but some-
one dropped him off for the
games and picked him up af-
terwards. Eric was a lefty and
one of the boys who had the
potential to be pretty good but
there was one big problem he
was afraid of the baseball! He
played right eld for us; re-
member everyone got to play.
When the ball was hit toward
him, instead of trying to catch
it or stop it, he would jump out
of the way and then run beside
it or after it until it stopped roll-
ing. Then hed pick it up and try
to throw it back in the direction
of the ineld. Sometimes hed
forget there was a game going
on and Id see him sitting down
in the outeld picking dande-
lions or perhaps looking for a
four-leaf clover. Id yell at him,
Eric, get your head back in the
game. We need you to pay at-
tention to whats going on.
When I pitched to him in
batting practice he could hit
the ball. I guess he trusted
that I wasnt going to hit him
with the baseball. But when
he was at bat in the game his
fear would take over. As the
ball came toward home plate,
Eric would get happy feet
and start dancing backwards.
He always ended up walking
or striking out no matter how
much I encouraged him to not
be afraid, to hang in there and
swing the bat.
It was the last game of the
year and Eric was the only
player on the team who had
never got a base hit. Before it
was his turn to bat, I gave him
the best coaching encourage-
ment I could think of. I re-
minded him that I didnt care
if he struck out, but to please
swing the bat and try to hit the
ball. If he wanted to move his
hit feet while the pitch was
coming to the plate just move
them up and down; not back-
wards out of the batting box.
Eric stepped up to the plate.
Swing the bat, Eric, I yelled.
Come on, Eric. You can do it.
Swing the bat! As the pitcher
completed his wind up and the
ball headed toward home plate,
I could see little Erics happy
feet moving up and down, but
this time he was not moving
backwards. Eric swung the bat
and made contact! The ball got
past the pitcher and bounced
off of second base. Eric had
hit the ball, but there was a
problem; he was so stunned
about his success that he was
still standing at home plate.
I screamed in his direction,
Run, Eric, run! and he took
off. He was so excited that he
didnt stop at rst base, but kept
on running down the right eld
line. Come back to rst base,
Eric. You did it. Great job! Ill
never forget the big smile on
Erics face as he stood on rst
base after getting his rst base
hit. As for his coach I think I
was even happier than he was!

25 Years Ago
This week in 1989, the Chinese government
banned the worker and student groups that had
been protesting for weeks. After the assault by
troops on unarmed protesters in Tiananmen
Square, ofcials went on to accuse the Ameri-
can government and press of rumor monger-
ing the situation. They also demanded the re-
turn of astrophysicist Fang Lizhi, the leader of
the dissident movement, and his wife, Li Shux-
ian, a professor at Beijing University. Both had
been granted asylum at the U.S. Embassy in
Beijing.
Van Werts Sarah Evans, the reigning Miss
Ohio, was expected back in the area in July.
It was announced Evans would be visiting the
Old Fashioned Farmers Days celebration at
the Van Wert County Fairgrounds where she
would be the emcee for the ddler contest.
Delphos Jaycees held their annual instal-
lation banquet at Jaycee Hall. The year-end
awards were presented at the banquet with
the Chapter Keyman Award going to Chuck
Bridges and the Jaycee of the Year Award go-
ing to Dave Klaus. Jaycee of the Month awards
were presented to Mike Swick, Deb Schurger,
Chuck Bridges, Tom Honigford, Deb Talboom
and Deb Wade.
50 Years Ago
This week in 1964, the U.S. Senate refused
to hear more changes to the civil rights bill,
voting 71-29 for cloture. The vote effectively
ended the libuster by Southern Democrat
senators who were attempting to derail the
legislation. The vote drew the anger of many
from the South, including Sen. Richard Rus-
sell (D-Ga) who shouted, In the spirit of the
lynch mob!
The Brumback Library announced it was
expecting 1,200 children to participate in the
Summer Reading Program. Head librarian
Elizabeth Rex reported the library had bor-
rowed books from the surrounding school
districts to ensure they had plenty of reading
material. The theme of the 1964 program was
Sail Into the Sea of Reading Pleasure.
Four Delphos girls, Janet Scherger and
Mary Weisgerber of St. Johns High School,
and Linda Truesdale and Sally OBryant, of
Jefferson, planned to attend the 18th annual
Buckeye Girls State sessions slated for the
week of June 20-28. That year, the eight-day
government-in-action workshop was held on
the campus of Capital University in Colum-
bus, and was sponsored by the Ohio American
Legion Auxiliary.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, tensions continued to
mount between Germany and Poland follow-
ing a fatal border shooting. Erwin Lubetzki, a
German citizen, had tried to cross into Germa-
ny without the proper credentials and was shot
by Polish soldiers. Also adding to the ames
was a series of anti-German articles printed in
Polish newspapers.
Van Wert suffered through several inches
of rain and high winds but reported relative-
ly light damage after a storm system passed
through the area. A few trees blown over,
downed power lines, and a re caused by a
lightning strike on North Market Street were
the extent locally, but other areas were not so
lucky. One woman was killed in Hicksville
when a tree blew on top of the car she was in
and in Bryan, the Spangler Candy Company
building received an estimated $40,000 worth
of damage.
A. J. Weber planned to go to Chillicothe on
June 25 to attend the annual reunion of Ambu-
lance Company No. 332. Weber was the only
member of the company living in Delphos but
there were members in Fort Jennings, Kalida
and Ottoville. Ambulance Company No. 332
was organized in October 1917 at Camp Sher-
man. The group served overseas as a unit of
the 83rd Division but was transferred late and
made a part of the Third Army Corps.

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.

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

Tom from NJ reports, I suffer

were sore for days after the cramp-
ing. My wife gave me the Bam-

socks, I wore them, and the
foot cramps stopped. I replaced all
my socks with Bambusa

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.

Sunday is Fathers Day a
celebration of dad and all he
does throughout the year.
It can be a bittersweet day
for those who no longer have
the patriarch of the family
around to honor. My father
has been gone for seven years
now and there are still times
it feels like just a few months.
Its funny the things that
stick in your mind about peo-
ple when they are gone. Little
things that dont really mean
anything except to you.
My father had many good
qualities. He was honest, hard-
working and always ready to
extend help to others. He also
had a few, well, lets call them
quirks.
We had a summer cot-
tage in Michigan for more
than 20 years. Each weekend,
we would pack up and travel
north for shing, swimming
and a host of other activities.
Packing the car was always
dads job.
First, just let me say the
man had an uncanny ability
to pack three cars worth of
stuff in the back of our station
wagon and still have clear vis-
ibility in the rear-view mirror.
Anyone who unwittingly
put something in the car with-
out his knowledge was quickly
redressed. Now, why would
you put that there? he would
demand. If you put it here,
we still have room for And
of course, he would be right.
He also loved to mow the
grass. I would watch him walk
along behind the mower hold-
ing a conversation with him-
self. Sometimes, I guess you
just need to work things out
on your own.
My father was a very prac-
tical man. You could pres-
ent him with a problem and
he would, most times rather
quickly, mull it over in his
head and come up with a solu-
tion that was both feasible and
logical. He was long on com-
mon sense and seemed able
to consider the ramications
of an action with the speed of
todays computers. It always
amazed and humbled me.
He also made me feel spe-
cial. I was his doll. We spent
a lot of time together at the
Marathon station and at home.
I would follow him around
and ask enough questions to
make a monk break his vow
of silence to tell me to shut up.
I never heard that from him,
though.
Trips to the Eagles and
VFW were always a treat. I
would sit beside him on a bar
stool sipping an orange soda
and feeling like I was on top of
the world as my feet dangled
and I would swivel around
enjoying the squeaks and
squeals of my seat.
There are still times I could
really use my fathers no-non-
sense approach to problems
and I will forever miss him.
It doesnt hurt quite so much
anymore that he is gone but I
think Ill go have an orange
soda.
Happy Fathers Day to one
and all.
I try to suppress a giggle whenever I hear someone in their
twenties blurt out the assertion that they are getting old. Some-
times its because they try to do something physical and fail,
like pull themselves out of a chair or sofa. At other times, they
may have forgotten the name of a former classmate or are feel-
ing fatigued.
As I approach middle-age, now that Im in my 50s, it is mildly
amusing when someone 30 years my junior claims to be getting
old. In my twenties I was lacking in my knowledge of the world,
yet I was still in as good of physical condition as I had been in
high school. (Thats not saying much.) When I hear such silliness,
I think to myself, If shes old, what does that make me? (The
answer is hanging on by a thread, thank you.)
Like most people, I realize my age yet the affects of aging
havent all sunken in. In short, I know Im getting older, but I
occasionally still think of myself as yet to reach my physical
peak. Or my mental peak. Then I do something stupid, I try
to watch a nighttime talk show like the Tonight Show or Late
Night. That puts me in my place.
Why? Because these guest stars are brought out to a wild
audience reaction with cheers and screaming and the like, and
Im sitting there with one word in my mind Who? If I
know one of the guests on the
Tonight Show, its a miracle. I
remember growing up watch-
ing the Tonight Show when
Johnny Carson ruled, not Jim-
my Fallon.
Back then, when I didnt
know a guest, it was probably
because the guests career n-
ished a few decades before I was born. That was rare, though,
since I knew and appreciated Jack Benny, Groucho Marx, Lau-
ren Bacall, and the rest of them. The problem today is that I
dont know the third lead actor in some series that you can only
watch online or on one of the pay-cable movie networks.
This week, my wife turned on a recorded version of Jim-
my Fallon and I knew a guest. One guest. Barbara Walters
someone older than me. The new hip, modern stars meant
absolutely nothing to me. And of course the hosts Fallon, et.
al. kept talking about how much of a fan he is of this name-
less so-called star.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR POLICY
This week we stumbled across the fun sort of item we love
to nd from time to time. It was a copy of Isaac Asimovs guest
column for the New York Times following his visit to the 1964
Worlds Fair in New York City.
Asimov - a professor of biochemistry at Boston University,
noted futurist, and author of such science ction classics as the
Foundation and Robot series - was fascinated by what he saw
at the event. At the height of the Cold War, the theme expressed
hope with Peace Through Understanding, a line of thinking
that also ran through most of his writings.
However, what caught our eye is that Asimov offered sev-
eral of his own visions of what someone in 2014, 50 years after
the New York Worlds Fair, would nd at a current exposition.
Here is a partial list of what Asimov thought we would see
in 2014:
- House windows would be self-dimming. This technology
is available today in not only building windows but also in air-
craft glass, boats, automobiles, and even in eye glasses (Yes).
- An underground house at the Fair in 1964 made Asimov
theorize entire neighborhoods, especially in suburbia, would
be underground for easily controlled temperatures and energy
savings. The surface would be used for agricultural means so
food could be grown closer to urban markets (No).
- Gadgets would be everywhere in 2014, saving people the
time of performing all sorts of mundane tasks. Coffee pots
would turn on with a timer and have a hot cup of joe ready in
the morning (Yes). Auto meals would do much the same thing.
A person could order their breakfast to be ready at a certain
time and it would heat itself (No). Complete meals would be
frozen and ready to be warmed in just a few minutes (Yes).
- He predicted 3-D movies would be very popular (Yes).
- Oddly, for a man who wrote about harmony between man-
kind and robots in the future, Asimov predicted robots would
not be common or very good in 2014. He said at best there
might be an exhibit of a slow and clumsy robot maid and per-
haps a robot landscaper but the machines would still not be
fully functional yet (Yes).
- Appliances would not have electric cords but instead be
powered by batteries (Yes). Unfortunately, he said the power in
those batteries would come from radioisotopes, a byproduct of
all the ssion power plants supplying more than half of the U.S.
energy demand (No).
- Asimov said the world would have become much small-
er by 2014. Not in size, but in the amount of time it took to
travel from place to place as faster planes (Yes) and a much
more thorough road infrastructure (Yes) made it easier to get
from Point A to Point B. However, just as every other futurist
predicted, he believed ying cars would be available by now
as well (No). However, what made those ying cars possible
would be computer navigation that would leave the humans
inside as just riders and not drivers. Google is experimenting
with this technology and Nevada, Florida, and California have
passed laws making it legal for driverless cars to operate on the
roadways. (a marginal Yes).
- Communications will entail both sight and sound (Yes),
enable the studying of documents and books (Yes), and utilize
geosynchronous satellites to make it possible to dial directly to
any place on earth (Yes). The transmission of communications
and data would be possible on modulated laser beams through
plastic pipes (Yes).
- We would have permanent colonies on the moon (sadly,
No, as we have not landed humans on the moon since 1972).
Unfortunately, Asimov predicted not everything in 2014
would be rosy. He also predicted:
- Massive overpopulation as the world would now have 6.5
billion people (actually 7.2 billion, No) and the U.S. 350 mil-
lion (actually 318 million, No). He saw the Boston to Washing-
ton D.C. corridor as one massive city with 40 million residents
(No). He predicted the overcrowding would make humans be-
gin colonizing undersea cities (No). He believed most devel-
oped countries would have adopted legislation to regulate the
number of children by now to reduce population (No).
- Food shortages and starvation would be rampant until
scientists invented micro-organism farms. A dinner out would
most likely include a mock-turkey sandwich or a pseudo-
steak (No).
- Asimov saw America remaining on the cutting edge of
technology but the gap between the haves and have-nots would
widen with third world countries falling even further behind in
machinery, medicines, etc. (Yes)
- Students would be taught the fundamentals of computers
as a routine part of classroom studies. Those students who do
not keep up with those studies or lived in areas where computer
studies were not taught would be reduced to low-level, menial
jobs in the workplace - if they could nd work at all (a quali-
ed Yes).
- Perhaps most frightening, because of all the automation
that would be in place by 2014, Asimov foresaw mental dis-
ease spreading quickly through large parts of the population.
Without healthy, fullling work, these segments would suffer
through grave emotional and sociological consequences that
could lead to introverted and narcissistic tendencies, forcing
the need to be treated by the fastest growing medical profes-
sion: psychiatry. (Yes)

Who is that again?
Happy Fathers Day to all!
To the editor,
The 4-H Chicken BBQ was Tuesday, June 10, from 3:30 to
7 p.m. and was quite a success. With selling over 1,700 dinners
and amazing volunteers we couldnt be happier. There was a lot
of team work and people coming together to make it happen.
People from the community were able to drive through and
pick up dinners or come in and dine, where they were served
with water or lemonade with their meals.
We would like to give a big thank you to the Chik-N-House
in Delphos for the amazingly cooked chicken and meal, Sue
Hemping who is head of the 4-H BBQ committee on the 4-H
Council, and to all the volunteers and kids who came out and
helped make this a success. Most importantly we would like to
thank anyone who came out and supported the 4-H program
and kids by buying dinners. Hope to see you all next year for
the Chicken BBQ!

To the editor,
The Van Wert YMCA would like to give a thumbs up to the
following businesses and individuals who were instrumental in
the success of the Peony Pace 5k held in conjunction with the
Peony Festival. Thanks to Statewide Ford, Eaton, and Emme
Lus for their sponsorship and thanks also to Van Wert Manor
for donating water for the event. Without many volunteers, a
successful 5k would not be possible. Thanks to Steph Hep-
peard, Martha Martin, Curt Shaffner, Mitch Price, Heather
Tribolet, Kristin Lichtensteiger, Dalton West, Joey Schaufel-
berger, Erin Schaufelberger, and Alli Schaufelberger for sacri-
cing their time on a Saturday morning to help.
Finally, thumbs up to Eaton and Central Mutual corpora-
tions for submitting a combined total of six teams for the Cor-
porate division of the race and a huge thanks to the winning
team from Central Mutual who donated their winnings back to
the YMCA! It is very much appreciated!
We look forward to seeing some of you at the Warrior in
Pink Benet 5k to be held Sept. 6 as a benet to Susan G Ko-
men.

To the editor,
A huge thumbs down to a local auto dealer in Van Wert.
On May 27, I test drove a used vehicle there. It was a warm
day so I turned on the air conditioner. It just blew out hot air.
The salesman eluded to the fact that it probably just needed
charged up. He said they would take a look at it.
After being given what I thought was too low of a trade in
value for my auto the salesman came back and said they would
discount the vehicle I was thinking of purchasing and gave me
a better trade in value on my car. I asked about the air condi-
tioner and they said they would not charge it up because it was
normal wear and tear.

The AP Government students of Van Wert
High School will be submitting a weekly edito-
rial to inform the public on a variety of issues.
They have been encouraged to research, take a
position, and defend their reasoning for having
such thoughts. The purpose of these editorials
is to provide awareness and knowledge for the
community and to be thought provoking. The
views expressed in these editorials do not rep-
resent Van Wert High School, and are written
solely by the student author.
There are more than 10 million children
in this world without homes. Twenty million
kids in this world have no family, nor anyone
to care for them. With this deprivation of love,
too many children are growing up with mental
and physical disabilities, as well as possessing
a multitude of psychiatric issues. Love has a
huge impact on all our lives.
Our government is trying to pass a bill for
international children that we cant reach here
in the U.S. These children dont have a voice
to reach for help, and thats why the CHIFF
bill needs to be passed. The CHIFF bill stands
for children in families rst. This act is trying
to give every child a family to live in. It was
sponsored in the Senate by Senators Landrieu
and Blunt and
in the House
by Representa-
tives Granger
and Bass. In
Ohio, no one is
sponsoring this
bill, and this is
why we as the
people need
to write to our
elected ofcials and ask to be a part of this bill.
This bill creates an effective child welfare
system. This system would assist in family
preservation, reuniting families together, kin-
ship, domestic adoption, and international
adoption. If this bill would pass, it would de-
crease human trafcking and the sex trade.
The average age for children involved in sex
trafcking is 13. These kids on average are
forced into sex, 20-48 times a day, because
they are left on the streets or have ran away.
No one deserves to be in these terrible condi-
tions, so please take a stand and voice your
opinion to our representatives. You can make a
difference, as long as you dont stay mute just
as everyone else. Take a stand for what is right!
It has been said: one father is worth more
than a hundred schoolmasters. It is important
to have a father in the home for the life lessons
he can pass on to his children.
New babies make men out of fathers and boys
out of grandfathers. The best years of fatherhood
are when your
kids are old
enough to wash
your car but too
young to drive it.
Many a
father works
hard to keep
the wolf from
the door, then
his daughter
grows up and brings one home. It is not easy to
be a parent, but it is vital to have both a mother
and father in the home raising children.
Sonora Smart was one of six children.
When she was still very young, her mother
passed away. Sonora and her ve brothers were
raised by their father, William Smart, a vet-
eran of the Civil War.
In 1909, Sonora, now Mrs. John Dodd, liv-
ing in Spokane, Washington, got the idea for
Fathers Day. She wanted the celebration to be
the rst Sunday of June in 1910 because that
would have been her fathers birthday, but the
local ministers had a conict with that Sunday,
so it was agreed to mark the day on the third
Sunday.
Congress made Fathers Day a national hol-
iday in 1971. What have we learned from our
fathers the last 115 year? Heres a sample of
things learned that I found at the bottom of my
borrowed le:
My father taught me religionYou better

He taught me about logicBecause I said
so, thats why. And he taught me about fore-
sightMake sure you wear clean underwear
in case youre in an accident.
My father taught me about ironyKeep cry-
ing and Ill give you something to cry about. He
taught me about the science of osmosisShut
your mouth and eat your supper. Father taught
me about contortionismWill you look at the
dirt on the back of your neck!
My father taught me about stamina
Youll sit there until that spinach is all gone.
He taught me about weatherThis room of
yours looks as if a tornado went through it.
And, he taught me about hypocrisyIf I told
you once, Ive told you a million times, dont
exaggerate!
My father taught me the circle of lifeI
helped bring you into this world and I can take
you out. My dad taught me about behavior
modicationStop acting like your moth-
er! My father taught me about envyThere
are millions of less fortunate children in this
world who dont have wonderful parents like
you do.
My father taught me about anticipation
Just wait until we get home. And, he taught
me about receivingYou are going to get it
when you get home! My dad taught me ESP
Dont give me that look, I know exactly
what youre thinking!
But most of all, my father taught me about
justice. One day youll have kids, and I hope
they turn out just like you.

What we learned from our fathers

So why was this the time
we found Asimovs predictions
so compelling? Because as we
think of all the high school and
college graduates stepping out
into the real world for the rst
time, we know they will be re-
ceiving an overabundance of
advice about their futures. Here
is our contribution:
Do something.
Do something that in 50
years, when your work life is
completed, you will be able to
look back upon and say, I did
that.
Do something that your
friends and neighbors will re-
member. Do something so peo-
ple who never met you will be
able to reap benets.
That something may be as
important as nding a cure for
cancer or inventing the Internet
(sorry, Al Gore already beat
you to that one). That some-
thing may be creating a piece
of art or writing a book. That
something may be only impor-
tant to your family and friends.
Fifty years ago, the Worlds
Fair in New York envisioned
a pathway to the future. Sci-
entists and inventors saw that
pathway as a set of goals. Some
of what Asimov predicted has
come true and some is still just
science ction. But the impor-
tant thing is people pushed the
limits of what already was and
strove for what could be.
The rst step of that process
is to decide you are going to do
something.

THUMBS UP

(From page A6)
When Letterman was on in the early days,
he rarely had even met the guest before the
band played the entrance music. Sometimes it
even seemed that Letterman didnt care much
about the guests, just had to crank out another
show. Usually, it seems Id prefer it that way
than with all the fawning over the guests by
most of todays hosts. I dont want to watch a
talk show host kiss up to a celebrity who isnt
really a celebrity in my book!
I miss Carson. He really seemed to enjoy
doing a show. He was genuine in interviews
and funny as a performer. I always enjoyed
Letterman. I realize he was an acquired taste,
but we shared a sense of humor through the
80s and 90s. I think Jimmy Fallon is usually
pretty funny, but I get tired of the kissing up
and celebrating of celebrities, especially when
I dont know who they are. Maybe his show
and others like it need a slow lane for those
of us too old to know who some of these goo-
bers are and why we should bother tuning in to
watch their segment? Or maybe we can all stop
pretending that we care about them.
I saw the little yard-ape called Honey Boo-
Boo on earlier this week. The only reason I
didnt break the TV screen is that I cant af-
ford a new large-screen TV. Besides, I know
where the power button is. A while back I just
unplugged and turned off the satellite dish.
That was OK, but I wanted to see some select
programs.
Please, just hold the celebration of minor
celebrities or put that on the channels that
I have blocked, OK? Maybe they can start a
Kardashian News Network (KNN) and play
that stuff with marathons of Inside Edition and
the Oscars and Grammys and let the people
who care for some reason indulge and let them
worship celebrities to their hearts content.
Then let them stand in the grocery checkout
aisle for hours at a time at one of those lanes
that never open, and allow them to read all the
issues of People, Us, Them, and Star Weekly
magazines. Let me get back to reality. Thats
the way old folks like me want it. And get off
my lawn!

Thumbs down to the Huggy Bear campers
who use Ridge Cemetery as a short cut to the
truck stop and for allowing the kids to joyride
on golf carts through the cemetery. The cem-

Shame, shame to whoever
took the hanging basket from
our daughters grave at Wood-
land Cemetery between Friday,
June 6 and Monday, June 9, 2014.
I know the Lord said vengeance
is mine I will repay, but we, Brendas family,
are very hurt that anyone would take owers
or anything from anyones grave. We put the
hanging basket out there for her one year be-
ing gone from us and her birthday June 25. We
watered them every third day. If you have any
guts or remorse please take them back to her
grave, or bring them to 525 Center St., Van
Wert, and put them on the front porch. We will
take them to her grave. Thank you from a very
hurt dad.

At no time was I told by
them that they were going to
discount the vehicle because
they were concerned about the
air conditioner compressor. If
this was checked out by their
service people they would cer-
tainly known about it. Had I
known it was the problem and
that the cost is over a thousand
dollars to x, I would have
never done the deal.
To say they were duplici-
tous in dealing with me may
be a bit harsh, but their lack of
transparency is outrageous at
best. After having the vehicle
looked at by another repair
facility in town and learning
of the problem, I went back to
the dealership and tried to get
the problem resolved. I even
offered to pay half of the re-
pairs at their cost. Their basic
response was you bought it as
is and we wont do anything
for you.
Maybe I am nave or look
at the world through rose col-
ored glasses, but whatever
happened to a sense of de-
cency and fair play. Evidently
it is not part of that dealer-
ships policy. If you intend to
purchase a vehicle from these
people (and I strongly suggest
that you do not) make sure
that you have a portable re-
corder with you and record the
entire conversation and that
way you wont be left with that
funny feeling in your backside
like I have. I am not sure of
the mission statement of that
dealership, but it should read
Maximize prots no matter
who gets the shaft, as long as
it is not us.

Area family
says thank you
If he runs in 2016, Ben Car-
son will be the rst presiden-
tial candidate since George
Washington who can put
performed miracles on his
resume. Washington pulled
off the impossible by winning
the American Revolution.
Carsons miracles came in the
world of brain surgery back in
the 1980s.
The movie Gifted Hands,
a biopic starring Cuba Good-
ing, Jr., captures Carsons rise
from poverty and ignorance in
1960s Detroit. Carsons moth-
er, who saw her sons failing in
school but could not even read
herself, turned young Bens
life around when she shut off
the television and made him
and his older brother start
reading two books a week.
The track from there to per-
forming unimagined proce-
dures on the operating table
and saving the lives of chil-
dren makes for a good ick.
Carson is being recruited
by an element in the Republi-
can Party to run for the high-
est ofce in the world in 2016.
According to his last two
books, America the Beau-
tiful (2012) and One Na-
tion (last month), this could
be problematic. Carson is a
professed independent who
identies bipartisan rancor as
one of our countrys dening
problems. In short, hes not
your typical party-line candi-
date and wont be. If he de-
cides to run as a Republican, it
will be on his own terms.
Republicans, at least con-
servative Republicans, should
be able to live with that. Car-
son worships in the temple of
logic. Although in his books
he repeatedly emphasizes how
everyone needs to examine
both sides of any argument,
whenever he applies reason
to a current issue, he lands
squarely in the conservative
camp. One could say hes
right-thinking.
In fact, the problem with a
Carson candidacy may be his
love of meditative deduction.
The American public long ago
abandoned logic in its politics.
We like to applaud, not think,
at the end of a politician say-
ing something. Mostly, we al-
ready have our minds made up
and just want someone to say
what were already thinking.
Its too early to tell if Carson
will be able to maintain the
soft-spoken, patient approach
that he now takes with the
media after the media, which
never much cares for long-
term reasoned approaches,
turns on him, and it will.
He advocates cutting cor-
porate tax rates (America has
the highest in the world) to
spur economic growth. He ad-
vocates self-reliance and not
handouts to eliminate poverty.
He advocates what amounts to
a at tax on income. He also
strongly advocates against
Obamacare. What he does
that Republicans havent
been able to do is provide a
viable alternative. His plan
highlights expanded Health
Savings Accounts to encour-
age patient responsibility and
government-funded medical
school for aspiring doctors
his closest thing to a liberal
proposal. As a surgeon, he
knows that tort reform is an
absolute must.
To balance the budget, he
proposes an across the board
cut in every federal agency
of 10%. If that doesnt x it,
another 10% cut the next year.
That would be a practical way
to get there and force tough
decisions on the people who
are supposed to be making
them instead of on the next
two or three generations.
Carson brings what few
other conservatives can: street
cred. As an African-Ameri-
can from Detroit, he may say
many of the same things Mitt
Romney said, but no minor-
ity from the inner city gave a
ying expletive what Romney
ever had to say about anything
they tuned out at Im Mitt
Romn-. Romney was a good
guy and did his mission work,
and, most importantly, was
right in his arguments. But he
never lived in hopeless pov-
erty.
And although Bill Cosby
has been preaching self-re-
liance and the value of the
traditional family to the Af-
rican-American community
for years, there is still a yeah,
but attitude when the likes of
Cosby, people with extraordi-
nary talent, say it. Might as
well be Michael Jordan saying
that if you just work hard, you
can be like Mike. (But what if
I cant jump?) Carsons life is
on display and its something
real - start by reading two
books a week.
Carson experienced rac-
ism when racism wasnt taboo
and he doesnt hold grudges
about it, at least not outward-
ly. In 2012, President Obama
got 100 percent of the vote in
some all black districts. Car-
son v. Hillary those districts
are up for grabs. And as a man
of a more accepted faith, the
Evangelicals who stayed home
rather than vote for a Mormon
would be out in full force for
Carson. Further, I would wa-
ger that over 95 percent of
the people who voted for Mitt
would also vote for Ben.
It may take someone with
these kinds of credentials to
do some of the things that ob-
viously need done and some-
one of Carsons intellect to do
other things that arent so ob-
vious. If he does run, he will
be coming at a perfect time for
conservatism. After an eight-
year experiment with social-
ism, America will be primed
for the opposite. Take the time
to read his books and watch
his movie this might be the
guy who could save us all.

ENVIROTHON
(From page A1)
I was advisor at Delphos
St. Johns for six years. The
Allen Soil and Water of-
ce had this new competi-
tion back then. I think it was
only three years-old or so and
asked if we wanted to join,
Jostpille recalled. I have now
been to state with every one of
my Jennings teams and most
of those Delphos ones, too.
My rst two years at Jennings,
1996 and 1997, I still coached
St. Johns and we won state
and were able to go to nation-
als in Nebraska the rst year
and Pennsylvania the next. We
nished seventh in the nation
in 1997.
With Fort Jennings, we
have been state runner-up
three times. Finishing last
year, we tied out of 700 points
and lost the tie-breaker or we
would have been in Montana
for nationals.
Jostpille said he loves what
he does and it allows him to
see parts of his home state he
might not otherwise visit.
I enjoy the topic of course.
I have been able to learn more
about soils, forestry, aquatics,
etc., by teaching and prepar-
ing for this competition than
in any class I ever took. I en-
joy getting to go all around
the state for the Area I and
then state competitions. I have
been to almost every college
and university in the state and
now all the state parks. We
have a beautiful and very di-
verse state here in Ohio, Jos-
tpille said.
During the competition,
students compete by answer-
ing questions as a team at eld
test sites and prepare a short
oral presentation on the theme
of the year. Monday morning
and afternoon are spent at the
test site working on the tests
and for four hours Monday
evening, the teams work on
preparing their presentations
which must include visual
displays also. The team advi-
sors are not allowed to be with
their team at any of the testing
or preparing times.
Tuesday the teams are as-
signed a time to give their
presentation in front of a three
judge panel that includes lo-
cal resource people, EPA
representatives, local govern-
ment ofcials, college profes-
sors or Ohio Department of
Natural Resource personnel.
An awards banquet is held
on Tuesday afternoon with
the winner representing Ohio
at the North American Envi-
rothon.
Jostpille said the secret to
his teams successes is simple.
The key is the kids and
the amount of time they put
into this. It is all volunteer,
he said. We practice at 8 p.m.
after everyone else is done and
goes home and on Sundays or
any time we can. We meet two
times a week from January to
May, he said. They enjoy the
competition and they see the
success we have had and want
to continue that; and get that
elusive state championship!
While a lot of work is done
in the classroom, as environ-
mental implies, a lot of eld
work is also involved.
We then start studying the
ve areas we will be tested on,
we go out to Kendrick Woods
and some of the county parks
in Findlay to study and iden-
tify trees. We have posters and
eld guides to study wildlife -
pelts, tracks, skulls, etc., Jost-
pille said. We go kick seining
in the river for aquatic insects
and sometimes I have a pro-
fessional in the eld come in
or we go somewhere to meet
them and they help with the
topic where I cant.
Jostpille and his students
have an eye to the future and
make sure they explore different
career paths that could be taken
dealing with what they learn.
We take a eld trip in May
to to meet with environmental
engineers at different places
for more background knowl-
edge of what jobs and careers
are actually out there. Exam-
ples include Ford, Procter and
Gamble, GM in Deance, the
Husky renery, Campbells
in Napoleon, a mega farm in
Montpelier, etc., he said. We
have been very lucky to do all
these things over the years.
This year, we went to the Uni-
versity of Findlay to their pro-
gram on environmental edu-
cation and hazardous waste
management.
I have had students gradu-
ate from that program over
the years and are working ev-
eryday in the eld. Numerous
other students have branched
out to include environmental
elds in their majors too. This
is very rewarding and impor-
tant, also, he added.
HOME OWNERSHIP
(From page A1)
Agent Krista Schrader of Schrader
Reality said the Delphos market is sta-
ble and in the last six months, accord-
ing to the West Central Association of
Realtors data, 22 homes have sold in
the Delphos area.
The prices ranged from $11,000
to $282,000, with the majority sell-
ing this spring, she said. The spring
market has showed many buyers out
looking, our office is busy with daily
showings, open houses and appoint-
ments educating buyers on the home
process.
She said there are an additional
five homes in this data showing sale
pending, awaiting closing. The listings
outweigh the purchases, but Delphos
is still a stable real estate market and
buyers are actively out looking.
Our buyers range from first time
home buyers to people looking to
downsize, she explained. So, there
is a range of the types of buyers.
Schrader said she feels the Delphos
market is stronger than three years
ago.
We arent as strong as I would like
to see but we are headed up instead of
down and thats a plus, she exclaimed.
Buying a first house is very emo-
tional and financing the purchase
can be an intimidating experience. It
takes research and careful shopping
to find the home families want and
need and deciding how much to spend
and which type of mortgage will work
best, can be confusing. Its beneficial
to do some footwork and get prepared
before stepping into a sales office,
model home or open house.
One of the first priorities for first
time home buyers is to get familiar
with the industry lingo. Acronyms like
ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage),
APR (Annual Percentage Rate), PITI
(Principal, interest, taxes, and insur-
ance) and RESPA (Real Estate Settle-
ment Procedures Act) will be common
terminology used during the home
buying experience.
First Federals Retail Lending Man-
ager Vice President Elaine Evans said
she likes to educate her customers.
I tell them no question is dumb
unless they dont ask it, Evans ex-
plained. Many people listen to their
friends rather than talking with a pro-
fessional.
She said before beginning house
hunting, first-time buyers should get
pre-approved so they know what they
can afford and what type of program
they qualify for. There are several pro-
grams available.
The most popular program is the
USDA (United States Department of
Agriculture) Home Loan which re-
quires no money down, she detailed.
USDA Home Loans are guaranteed
and provide up to 100-percent financ-
ing for a home purchase or refinance.
There are many qualifying factors for
a USDA home loan, things such as
income limits and loan amount may
limit eligibility.
There are also 3.5-percent FHA
(Federal Housing Administration)
loans and conventional loans which
require a minimum of five percent
down, Evans said.
With a FHA loan, most closing
costs and fees can be included in the
loan.
Evans said there are many variables
taken into consideration when qualify-
ing customers for a mortgage loan.
We look at the overall credit his-
tory, she explained. Mortgages are
not cut and dried.
When it comes to deciding on a
price range customers want to pay for
a home, it has to be a comfortable fig-
ure for the home buyer.
I can show them on paper what
they can afford but, I dont know how
they want to live, Evans said.
She said customers should be
monitoring their credit report and can
do that for free through the federal
website annualcreditreport.com.
Even if people are not looking for
loans, it is a good preventative mainte-
nance measure to check on credit ac-
counts, she emphasized. We review
their credit and I instruct them what to
do to clean up it up.
The next step is to pay down credit
card debt which limits what customers
qualify for from a lender.
Right now, were seeing young
people with no credit, Evans ex-
plained. They can get a credit card,
use it to fill their vehicle with a tank
of gas and pay it off every month. That
builds credit.
She said some credit cards can
harm you when trying to get a mort-
gage. Opening up a brand new loan
for a car or other large purchase
and closing out multiple credit cards
can also hurt credit scores.
Maintaining a budget is also very
important as well as changing behav-
iors making coffee at home rather
than buying it at the gas station, walk-
ing rather than driving, eliminating
impulse buying, etc. to save money.
She said its surprising how many peo-
ple dont have a budget.
I tell customers to write down ev-
erything they purchase for a month so
they know where their money goes,
Evans said. Its amazing, the amount
of money people dont know they are
spending.
She said customers return later af-
ter becoming more financially fit and
they look at applying for a mortgage
loan again.
Even if a customer still has credit
card balances and pays $900 in rent,
we may be able to get them approved
for a $600 house payment, Evans de-
tailed.
D-DAY
(From page A1)
This would later become
the Omaha (or Normandy)
cemetery, which many have
seen on television.
Prior to the actual inva-
sion, bombers flew over and
knocked out strategic areas
and radar, etc. Then shortly
after midnight, paratroop-
ers were dropped. Many of
them were killed in the pro-
cess. A Delphos native, the
late Dutch Nagel, was one
of those paratroopers who
landed and survived. Next
the gliders came in carrying
heavy equipment, such as
half-track, etc. The troops
started to land on the beach
at 6:30 a.m. The landing lo-
cation was a 50-mile stretch,
divided into five sectors:
Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno
and Sword Beach. Causali-
ties were heaviest at Omaha,
with the high cliffs. Allied
casualties on D-Day were at
least 12,000 with 4,414 con-
firmed dead.
The U.S. Navy also suf-
fered causalities. Allied
losses to mines included
USS Corry off Utah Beach
and USS PC 1261, a 173-
foot patrol boat. In addition,
many landing craft were
lost.
The invasion was so mas-
sive the numbers are mind
boggling. Nearly 160,000
troops crossed the Eng-
lish Channel on D-D with
875,000 men disembarking
by the end of June. The Al-
lied divisions taking part
came from Britain, USA,
Canada, Polish and French.
The French Resistance (un-
derground) covered the sab-
otage, destroying railroads
and bridges. The invasion
fleet was drawn from eight
different navies, comprising
6,939 vessels.
Adolf Hitler came to
power in Germany in 1933,
after he managed to convert
many of his countrymen to
the Third Reich or Nazism.
By the time of the Nor-
mandy Invasion, Hitler and
his Nazi Army had overrun
most of Europe. The United
States of America got into
the war after the Japanese
bombed Pearl Harbor on
December 7, 1941. Thus it
was fighting a war against
Japan in the Pacific and a
war against Hitler and Mus-
solini in Europe and North
Africa.
Hitler started World War
II for the deliberate purpose
of subjugating Europe and
establishing eventual world
rule of his master race.
The ruination of Germany
by the Nazis was one of the
bleakest pages in history.
Hitler declared war on all
political opposition. The
procedure was arrest, se-
cret and unexplained by the
Gestapo or SS, and trial in
secret, without defense. Vic-
tims were put in protective
custody in concentration
camps.
CIVIL RIGHTS
(From page A5)
Evers had grown up on a
small farm outside Decatur,
Mississippi, where he needed
to walk 12 miles each way just
to attend high school because
of segregation. He joined the
U.S. Army and served three
years during World War II,
taking part in the Battle of
Normandy. Evers later gradu-
ated from what is now Alcorn
State University where he ma-
jored in business administra-
tion. He was also a member
of the football, track and de-
bate teams, as well as singing
in the choir and being elected
the junior class president. He
later applied to attend the still
segregated University of Mis-
sissippi Law School but was
rejected.
After the rejection, Evers
became more active in the
Civil Rights cause. He be-
came the NAACPs rst eld
secretary for the state of Mis-
sissippi, where he helped to
organize protests. He helped
James Meredith attempt to en-
roll at the University of Mis-
sissippi in 1961 and was a part
of the team that organized the
Biloxi Wade-Ins, a protest
against the segregation of the
Mississippi Gulf Coast beach-
es. He was also a very vocal
member of the investigation
into Emmett Tills murder.
However, much like Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King Jr., Evers ad-
vocated for peaceful protests
to nd a solution to the civil
rights problems in the South.
Evers was killed only
hours after President Kennedy
gave a nationally televised
speech about his adminis-
trations support of the civil
rights cause. Returning from a
NAACP meeting, he was shot
in the back in his driveway as
he exited his car.
The events of these two
days in June of 1963 revealed
the depth of the civil rights
problems in the South to the
rest of the nation. President
Kennedy continued to press
for change until his assassina-
tion and then President John-
son completed the work.
Here now is a reprint of
the June 11, 1963, Van Wert
Times-Bulletin article de-
tailing the Standing in the
Schoolhouse Door.
ALABAMA
(From page A5)
Before retiring Monday night, he told news-
men he would stand in the doorway today to
prevent Vivian Malone and James Hood from
registering.
When asked if he would physically stand in
the doorway, Wallace replied: How else can
you stand there?
Wallace rebuffed a personal appeal from
President Kennedy, who wired the governor: I
urgently ask you to consider the consequences
to your state and its ne university if you per-
sist in setting an example of deant conduct
and urge you instead to leave these matters in
the courts of law where they belong.
Kennedy said there would be little danger
of violence at the university if Wallace would
stay away from the campus.
In reply, Wallace sent the President this
telegram:
My presence hear guarantees peace. This
is the opinion of all here familiar with the
facts, including the legislature of Alabama and
the president of the University of Alabama.
The university Board of Trustees backed
Wallace.
The university campus was tightly sealed.
Blue-uniformed state troopers manned
wooden barricades; they checked credentials
of everyone who approached and kept a sharp
eye on groups that formed nearby.
They patrolled the streets in squad cars and
thronged the entrance and the lobby of the ho-
tel where Wallace spent the night.
Col. Albert Lingo, state public safety direc-
tor, said arrests had reached 22 up to the day
of the arrival of the two Negro students. Those
arrested were charged with illegal possession
of weapons that ranged from pistols and clubs
to bayonets, swords, tear gas equipment and
needle-pointed hooks used for moving cotton
bales.
Lingo said a Negro was arrested Monday
when four sticks of dynamite were found in his
home.
On every hand, automobiles aunted ags
of the Confederacy. One, attached to the radio
antenna, was at half-staff.
Wallace arrived in this nervous and appre-
hensive city Monday afternoon.
Wallace toured the campus, shook hands
with state troopers and students and visited
the armory where National Guardsmen are on
standby duty.

(From page A5)
Being a pastor is a lot like being a coach. I
like to give people a chance to discover and de-
velop their God-given gifts. I wish we looked
at life more like we do baseball. In our lives,
we tend to focus more on our failures than we
do our successes. In baseball, if you get a hit
three out of every ten times at bat, youre con-
sidered a really good hitter. We focus more on
the three successes than we do on the seven
failures. So heres my coaching tip for your
life today. Dont be afraid of failure. You cant
get a hit if you dont swing the bat. Dont be
afraid. Dont let fear rob you of chasing after
your dreams. You can do it.
Swing the bat!

DELPHOS For many
high-school athletes, the sum-
mer between their junior and
senior years is when they get
really serious about their col-
lege plans, when they get more
and more letters of interest,
getting invited to camps and
such and focus on their senior
seasons.
For Jefferson senior-to-be
football player Jordan Mc-
Cann, those plans will con-
tinue to come together as he
has been invited to attend the
Blue-Grey Super Combine
next Friday and Saturday at
Cantons Fawcett Stadium,
home of the Pro Football Hall
of Fame.
I got a letter through
school. I went to a camp in
Cincinnati earlier this spring
and apparently based on that
and what I did last season as
a junior, they invited me to at-
tend, McCann noted. I was
with the defensive ends at the
Cincinnati camp and basically
it was a passing camp. We had
a lot of 1-on-1 drills with de-
fensive linemen going against
offensive linemen. There were
a lot of guys there from all
over the place and so I only
had about 11 reps. However, I
never lost a 1-on-1 battle.
I cant say I made fast
friends but there were some
guys that you hung around
with. I didnt know anyone be-
fore I got there.
McCann also earned all-
State (Division VI) recogni-
tion last season for the Wild-
cats, perhaps putting him on
the radar.
Last year, a total of 630
prospects attended the com-
bines at the four sites, with
over 475 eventually signing a
college football scholarship.
This summers pool of
prospects will be used to se-
lect the squads to play in the
two Blue-Grey All-American
Bowls set for Dec. 14 of this
year at AT & T Stadium,
home of the Dallas Cowboys;
and Jan. 10, 2015, at Raymond
James Stadium.
To show how important
this combine is, media such as
Fox Sports, 24/7 Sports and
USA Today will be in atten-
dance, with photos and inter-
views of each prospect as part
of the equation.
Since McCann did not play
basketball during the winter,
nor track or baseball in the
spring, he has had the chance
to get stronger and faster.
I have spent a lot of time
lifting and working out with
Zach Attack. I havent done
a lot of sprint work lately
I havent run one since the
end of football season but
I ran a 4.7 40-yard dash re-
cently and have been below
4.6 previously, he said. My
max bench is 315 pounds. My
weight has uctuated between
the high 190s and the low
200s.
This combine, I gure
I will run a 40, do the bench
press, the shuttles and the ver-
tical jump at least.
Beyond that, his focus is
on the start of the preseason
in July.
I have to be focused on
the combine this week, try-
ing to do the best I can and
continuing to work out, he
added. After next weekend,
my focus will turn to getting
ready for my senior season
and trying to help my team do
the best it can.

PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) Martin
Kaymer is playing a brand of golf rarely
seen in the U.S. Open. It might even be
enough for soccer-mad Germany to pay
attention.
The other 155 players at Pinehurst No.
2 certainly are.
Kaymer set the 36-hole scoring record
at the U.S. Open on Friday with another
5-under 65 this one without a single
bogey to build a six-shot lead over
Brendon Todd and leave the rest of the
eld wondering if the 29-year-old Ger-
man was playing a different course, or
even a different tournament.
If he does it for two more days, then
were all playing for second spot, Adam
Scott said.
Kaymer was at 10-under 130, break-
ing by one shot the record set by Rory
McIlroy at rain-softened Congressional
in 2011. He had an eight-shot lead when
he nished his morning round. Todd
made some tough par saves to keep bo-
geys off his card for a 67.
I heard he played the No. 3 course.
Is that true? Kevin Na said after a 69
put him seven shots behind. Its unbe-
lievable what hes done. Is 4 or 5 under
out there? Yes. Ten under out there? No, I
dont think so. I guess it was out there for
him. I watched some of the shots he hit
and some of the putts hes made and he
looks awless.
The six-shot lead after 36 holes tied
the U.S. Open record rst set by Tiger
Woods at Pebble Beach in 2000 and
matched by McIlroy at Congressional.
Woods wound up winning by 15 shots.
McIlroy won by eight.
I played Congressional and I thought,
How can you shoot that low? And thats
probably what a lot of other people think
about me right now, Kaymer said.
At least a few of them allowed for
some hope going into the weekend. Todd,
who won the Byron Nelson Champion-
ship last month for his rst PGA Tour
win, will play in the nal group Saturday
in his rst U.S. Open.
Brandt Snedeker had a 68 and joined
Na at 3-under 137.
Phil Mickelson was 13 shots behind
after going back to his conventional put-
ting grip and giving up too many shots.
He had a 73.
A fast-moving thunderstorm dumped
rain on Pinehurst overnight, though it
didnt make the course that much eas-
ier. The pins were in tougher locations.
Trouble is waiting around any corner at
Pinehurst No. 2. Kaymer rarely found it.
He opened with a short birdie on the
par-5 10th hole, added birdie putts from
20 and 25 feet, and then hit a gorgeous
drive on the par-4 third hole, where the
tee was moved up to make it play 315
yards. His shot landed perfectly between
two bunkers and bounced onto the green
to set up a two-putt birdie.
And the lead kept growing.
I look at the scoreboards. Its enjoy-
able, Kaymer said. To see whats going
on, to watch yourself, how you react if
youre leading by ve, by six. I dont
know, but its quite nice to play golf that
way.
It looks like a typical U.S. Open ex-
cept for Kaymer.
Dustin Johnson opened with a pair of
69s, a score he would have gladly taken at
the start of the week and perhaps thought
it would be good enough to lead.
I wouldnt have thought it would be
eight shots behind, Johnson said.
Brooks Koepka, the American who
is carving his way through the European
Tour, birdied his last hole for a 68 and
joined the group at 2-under 138 with
Brendon de Jonge (70), Henrik Stenson
(69) and former PGA champion Keegan
Bradley, who played in the same group
with Kaymer and rallied for a 69.
Hes as dialed it as Ive seen, Brad-
ley said.
Kaymer was the sixth player in U.S.
Open history to reach double-digits un-
der par, though McIlroy was the only oth-
er player to get there before the weekend.
Kaymer already won the PGA Champi-
onship in 2010 at Whistling Straits, and
he added the next best thing to a major
last month at The Players Championship.
Its tough for any golfer to make head-
lines in Germany, especially in a World
Cup year.

VAN WERT The Western
Buckeye League All-Stars had won
the previous two Van Wert County
Hospital All-Star Football Clash, so
the newly-constituted Lima Area/
Northwest Conference All-Stars
(formerly NWC/MAC) were looking
to break that string Friday night in
the 15th annual clash at Eggerss Sta-
dium in Van Wert.
It got done.
The Lima Area/NWC won the
ninth game in this series with a 30-7
bashing on a pleasant late-spring
evening.
The stats were relatively close:
the Lima crew totaled 247 yards to
238 for their foes but only 33 on the
ground. Wayne Traces Colby Speice
was an effective 12-of-23 passing for
214 yards and two scores. His top
two targets were Jeffersons Zavier
Buzard and Wayne Trace teammate
Korbin Showalter with four catches
each for 86 and 78 yards, respec-
tively.
The WBL unit was more evenly
split, with 121 yards rushing and 117
passing. However, Deances Will
Batt delivered a 10-for-35 passing
night for 94 yards and one pick as he
struggled either hitting his receivers
or them having the dropsies.
After holding the the WBL to
a 3-and-out on the rst series, the
guests got on board rst via a 9-play,
55-yard drive, with Buzard catching
two passes for 56 yards. At the WBL
12, Blufftons Noah Stratton took
an option pitch to the right sideline
and dove over the goal line with 8:05
left in the opening period. Speice
found Adas Matthew Wilcox for the
2-pointer and an early 8-0 edge.
The WBL reached the LA/NWC
34 on its next possession, courtesy
of a 33-yard pass from Batt to Van
Werts Terrence Branson (4 catches,
52 yards), but went no farther.
However, its next drive saw an
11-play, 67-yarder. With Batt (15
rushes, 33 yards for the game) and
Celinas Louden Limon (10 for 51)
doing most of the work, it was Li-
mon who burst over right tackle and
found paydirt with 16 seconds left in
the rst quarter. Wapakonetas Bai-
ley Hinegardner added the kick for
an 8-7 LA/NWC lead.
After a trade of punts, the LA/
NWC commenced a quick 2-play,
57-yarder. After Buzard (14 rush-
es, 25 yards) ran for ve, Speice
dropped back and found Showal-
ter on the left hash in stride at the
WBL 30; he eluded the cornerback
and headed for the end zone. Speice
found Wilcox again for the 2-pointer
and a 16-7 lead with 8:45 showing in
the rst half.
After holding the guests to a
3-and-out to open the second half,
the WBL started at the 50 and even-
tually reached the LA/NWC 14.
However, a holding penalty and a
sack of Batt by Spencervilles An-
thony Schuh and Crestviews Zen
Burdette helped end the 14-play
drive at the 31.
A turnover on the very next play
gave the WBL possession at the
guests 36. However, that chance
ended as Showalter picked off a Batt
pass in the end zone.
The guests were forced to punt
after a 3-and-out but the boot was
muffed, with Columbus Groves Ma-
son Smith recovering at the 42. The
LA/NWC gained the WBL 31 but
turned it over on downs to begin the
fourth period.
Its next possession ended via a
7-play, 58-yard sequence. At the
WBL 4, Buzard bolted inside right
guard to paydirt and Smith added
the point-after for a 23-7 edge with
6:56 left.
On the second play of the WBL
series, the guests swarmed to recover
a fumble at the host 48 but could do
nothing with it.
They did on the next drive, start-
ing at the WBL 32. Two plays later at
the 14, Speice threw to another Raid-
er teammate, Jared Sherry, in the left
corner of the end zone and he made
a diving catch with 2:47 left. Smith
tacked on the nal point.

DELPHOS Baseball may be considered a slow game
by some sports enthusiasts, but the game can also change in a
blink of an eye.
The Van Wert Cougar ACME team made the trip down Lin-
coln Highway to take on the Delphos Jefferson Wildcats on
Friday. It was a pitchers duel for the rst ve innings, then
Van Wert exploded for 14 unanswered runs in the the last two
frames for the 16 to 2 victory.
Van Werts Gavin Gardner reached on an error to open the
game and eventually came around to score the games rst run
when Brant Henry lofted a sacrice y to center eld.
After the Wildcats went down in order in the bottom of the
rst, pitcher Ryan Bullinger retired the rst two batters in the
Cougars next at bat. Caleb Jenkins got aboard after his dribbler
was booted for an error, but was gunned down attempting to
steal on a great throw by catcher Gage Mercer for the nal out.
Delphos Jefferson tied the score in the third inning after Ja-
cob Boop walked and swiped second. Bullinger put runners on
the corners with a single to short. Jefferson was aggressive on
the base paths with Bullingers steal of the second base bag. On
the play, Van Wert second baseman Jake Covey threw the ball
home to nail Boop trying to score. Adam Rode then hit a solid
double to drive in Bullinger to knot the game at one.
The great pitching performance by both hurlers continued
until the fth inning. Bullinger walked with one out and moved
into scoring position on a bunt by Rode. Gaige Rassman struck
out, but the third strike got away from the catcher and Rassman
was safe at rst. Bullinger came around to score on a throwing
error and the Wildcats lead 2-1.
The lead didnt last long for Jefferson. Nick Fitch, a rising
senior, made his rst appearance on the mound since his fresh-
man year in the sixth inning. The Cougars didnt make his
comeback memorable as they scored three runs on four con-
secutive hits by Covey, Henry, Ryan Stoller, and Caleb Fetzer
to take back the lead at 4-2. Branden Herron was called in to
pitch with two on and no outs, but Ethan Williams greeted him
rudely with a single to score another pair. Gavin Garder hit a
triple to right to score two more and the Cougars roared out to
a 8-2 lead after batting around in the inning.
The Wildcats went down quietly in the bottom of the sixth
inning and Herron was replaced on the mound by Jacob Boop .
The Cougars offense went right back to work as Henry, Stoller,
Fetzer, Williams, and Jenkins, all reached on hits to open the
nal inning. Jacob Williamson walked, Bailey Neunschwander
was hit by a pitch, and Covey walked to chase Boop. The Cou-
gars sent 13 batters to the plate and scored 8 more runs in the
inning to seal the 16-2 road win.

MIAMI (AP) The San Antonio Spurs
left Miami last June looking so human, Tim
Duncan nearly in tears talking about how close
they were to another championship.
They dont look human now. They look like
a machine.
Up 3-1 and shooting the ball at a level nev-
er seen in the NBA Finals, the Spurs headed
home with a chance to wrap things up on Sun-
day night in Game 5.
The Miami Heat, who were able to deny
the Spurs last year, have two days to gure out
what can possibly be done to do it again.
Theyre a high-oil machine and they move
the ball extremely well, LeBron James said.
They put you in so many difcult positions. If
youre not right on time, right on target, theyre
going to make you pay for it.
The Spurs won by 19 and 21 in the two
games in Miami and are shooting 54.2 percent
in the series. The NBA Finals record for a se-
ries of any length is 52.7 percent.
No team has overcome a 3-1 decit in the
nals, and the Heat were so thoroughly man-
handled in Miami that the only reason to think
they could be the rst is what they did in the
past.
Duncan said the memory of last seasons
loss the pain thats driven the Spurs through
this entire season would denitely come
up before Sunday.
As I said, we know the caliber team they
are, and we have a lot of respect for what
theyre able to do, Duncan said. Theyre able
to throw it another gear and theyre going to
do just that. They dont want this to be done.
Duncan probably meant done as in the
series. Of course, it could also mean the era.
Two off days were sure to be lled by talk
of the Heats uncertain future, with James,
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all eligible for
free agency. Might such a one-sided beating
convince James he had to leave to nd a better
roster elsewhere? Make him more resolute in
his desire to stay and get the Heat back on top?
The two-time champions have more urgent
concerns now.
Did we expect to come here and lose two
the way we did at home? No way, Wade said.
But we also expect to go to San Antonio and
put up a better effort and try to come out with
another win. So well get away from it (Fri-
day), but well still think about what we need
to do to try to get another win to keep the se-
ries alive.
James simply acknowledged the obvious,
that the Spurs were the better team, when they
swept his Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007 for the
last of their four NBA championships. But he
wasnt supposed to be on the wrong side of the
talent differential once he bolted for Miami,
where the Heat would build a Big Three for
this decade that would rival what San Anto-
nios did last decade.
But the Spurs go so far beyond Duncan,
Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili now. Theres
Kawhi Leonard, who followed his career-high,
29-point night in Game 3 with 20 points and
14 rebounds Thursday and has done no worse
than battled James to a draw over the last two
games.
Or Boris Diaw, who wasnt even in the
starting lineup until Game 3 and had eight
points, nine rebounds and nine assists in Game
4, serving as one of the catalysts for the Spurs
mesmerizing ball movement.
Individual players get hot all the time. The
Spurs are on a team-wide hot streak.
I just think were playing Spurs basket-
ball, Parker said. Were just moving the ball
and were just playing the way weve been
playing all season. Wed like to do a good to
great, the extra pass, and we preach that, and
right now were clicking.
It gets a little harder to keep that going
when trying for that fourth win, the one the
Spurs couldnt quite get last year, when even
the real freewheeling teams tend to tighten up
a bit.
I mean, every closeout game is very dif-
cult, for all the obvious reasons, Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich said.
Especially if James delivers as so often
when the Heat faced elimination, from his
45-point game in Boston in the 2012 Eastern
Conference nals, to a triple-double against
the Spurs in Game 6 last year, followed by 37
points in Game 7.
He may need to deliver something similar,
or a championship reign could be over sooner
than expected.

SAO PAULO (AP)
When no one expected it, the
Dutch turned on the style with
a barrage of spectacular World
Cup goals and a 5-1 victory on
Friday that totally humiliated
defending champion Spain.
Rain and clouds may have
shrouded Salvador, but the or-
ange shirts of the Dutch fans
brightened up the Arena Fonte
Nova as they celebrated one of
the Netherlands most famous
World Cup victories in a re-
match of the 2010 nal.
Even more so than Brazils
opening win on Thursday, or
Mexicos rain-soaked 1-0 win
over Cameroon earlier Friday,
the Dutch put the World Cup
on a festive footing.
Fellow veterans Robin van
Persie and Arjen Robben pro-
duced two superb each and
showed the host nation why
the Dutch have often been
called the Brazilians of Eu-
rope.
It was inexplicable, said
Van Persie, the leader of a
team which has come to Bra-
zil carrying few expectations
from a nation that has all too
often been spoilt for sparkling
football. The veterans were
thought too old, the rookies
too inexperienced.
Players openly said that
just avoiding defeat against
Spain would be enough, never
mind beautiful play. However,
the game yet again lived up to
its reputation for unpredict-
ability.
This is why you play foot-
ball, the Netherlands beam-
ing coach Louis van Gaal said
after his disputed move to a
5-3-2 lineup proved a master-
stroke.
Spain was always going to
try to dominate possession, as
in the 2010 World Cup nal,
but this time the Dutch knew
how to hit back.
The defending champion
started Diego Costa but the
striker was as ineffectual as
the rest of the aging team,
highlighted by a massive blun-
der by Iker Casillas that led to
Van Persies second goal, a
symbol of Spains fate on an
infamous Friday 13th.
It was not the only surprise
on the second day of the World
Cup. When people around the
world expected a sun-soaked
tournament, torrential rain
dominated Natal and Mexi-
cos victory over Cameroon,
courtesy of a goal from Oribe
Peralta that moved the Central
Americans level with Brazil in
Group A.
Chile played Australia in a
late Group B game, seeking to
draw level with the Dutch.
Casillas was not the only
football star to suffer ignomi-
ny on Friday.
Franz Beckenbauer, who
won the World Cup both as a
player and coach, was banned
from football for 90 days by
FIFA for not cooperating with
a fraud investigation into the
2018 and 2022 World Cup
bids. Beckenbauer was the
rst person to be punished as
a result of the investigations.
On the pitch, the day
was almost as black for the
ashen-faced Vicente Del
Bosque, who only four years
ago coached Spain to its rst
World Cup win before follow-
ing it up with the 2012 Euro-
pean championship title.

DELPHOS Football. Basketball. Base-
ball.
For many boys and young men, they have
dreams of attaining success in those sports,
especially in small-town America.
Not so for Delphos resident Brandon Ost-
ing, his dreams are of the water variety sh-
ing. A shing fan since he was young, Osting
has gured out his career choice: become a
professional sherman.
I have been shing since I was little as
my grandfather and father have shed and
won many numerous local tournaments in that
time. I have been a part of the Delphos Bass
Club for years and over the last two years, I
have decided to pursue my dream of shing in
the Bassmaster Classic, which is the biggest
tournament in the world, he began.
The rst step in that process, according to
Osting, is entering the B.A.S.S. Nation events.
I decided to do that recently. These events
serve as a qualifying series to the Bassmaster
Classic and Elite series; the new format is if
you win one of the three qualifying tourna-
ments, you represent the state in which you
are from, he continued. I was fortunate to
actually win back-to-back tournaments if
you win one, you automatically qualify for
the 2015 state team and sh in the BASS Na-
tion Divisional next year over the last two
months and have qualied to represent Ohio
next year in trying to qualify for the Classic. I
basically have to beat 21 anglers over two tour-
naments next year and I will qualify to sh in
the biggest shing tournament in the world.
Basically, all 50 states have three qualify-
ing events and from them, they create a state
team (12 people, plus two high schoolers and
two alternates). There are six regions.
They qualify 56 anglers every year
through three paths: the Elite Series, the opens
and the BASS Nation.
He has one more of those BASS Nation
events this year, on the Ohio River June 22.
He almost didnt win the rst one due to a
heavy heart.
The rst event of the year was the BASS
Nation Northern Qualier on Indian Lake,
and the day before the tournament is when my
cousin Jared Osting was killed in a motorcycle
accident. I wasnt going to sh but decided to,
he explained. I taped a picture of him to the
windshield of my boat and went shing. I lost
several key sh during the day that I thought
would have kept me from winning but, in the
end, I was able to pull off the win by over a
pound and take 2nd Big Bass honors. That was
the biggest win of my career.
He has his eyes set on 2015.
I will be competing in the 2015 BASS Na-
tion Northern Divisional (where competitors
sh for a total prize money of $500,000). This
event will be drastically different than any oth-
er I have shed, he continued. In this event, I
will be running my boat 52 miles up river one
way to sh. Any mechanical issues or any oth-
er issues could make or break the tournament,
as well as missing the lock times to allow me
to lock up river.
Osting who has an 18-month-old daugh-
ter with his wife and is an engineer for Crown
Equipment Corporation in his real work
credits his start in Delphos to why he has been
so successful.
A lot of people follow shing in the Del-
phos area since we have the very competitive
Delphos Bass Club; there is huge support of
it in our area, he said. I think a lot of my
success recently has come from shing in
the club. I took my rst win at 14 years old
with the club up in Indiana out of the back of
my dads boat. There is a lot of talent to sh
against in the Delphos area and it is showing
as a few of us have ventured out into the bigger
tournaments over the last few years and have
shown success.
I started in the club and had to qualify
through the club. Local clubs and the State
Chapters determined the qualifying format.
Rising through the ranks takes dedication and
perseverance, but the rewards for advancing to
the next level are great.
Osting has come a long way towards achiev-
ing his dream in a short time.
Last year, most would have laughed when
I said I would sh in the Bassmaster Classic
some day, he added. Now there are 17 people
separating me from fullling a lifelong dream
and a $500,000 payday that thousands and
thousands of people dream of.
Osting takes to the waters to
chase dream

Nation wins, Delphos resident Brandon

A DHI Media publication COMICS Saturday, June 14 & Sunday, June 15, 2014 B3
Saturday, June 14, 2014
New opportunities will be
revealed through associations
with infuential individuals
who recognize what you have
to offer. Reality may exceed
your expectations where
career changes are concerned.
Demonstrate your abilities and
pursue your dreams. Change is
upon you, so seize the day.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Financial security should be
on your mind. Scrutinize your
spending history. Long-term
investments or an improved
cash fow will help you save
more than you spend.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Youll be feeling unsure
of yourself today. Getting
involved in a creative project
will keep your mind off your
troubles. The satisfaction
of completing something
enjoyable will help to boost
your spirits.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If
someone suggests a new health
regimen, take note. Showing
an effort to be the best person
you can be will make you
feel good about your personal
accomplishments as well as
attract compliments.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- If things are not progressing
as you had hoped, make a
change. Dont confne yourself
to old ideas and received
wisdom. Look into new ways
to use your skills in order to
bypass obstacles.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Dont let a careless remark
ruin your day. By putting your
best foot forward and doing
your own thing, you will show
everyone that you have what it
takes to win.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Good fortune will be
yours. You will fnd a favorable
conclusion to a longtime
problem, and others will go out
of their way to help you. The
future looks promising.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Your schedule
will be chaotic. Tackle jobs
that have been hanging over
your head. Your energy will
be contagious, and everyone
around you will be motivated
to help.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- You cannot escape
personal issues. Dont hide
your true feelings. Dealing
with them head-on will help
you to move forward. Positive
action brings stellar results.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- You may have more
money than you think. Take
a look around and determine
which items you no longer use.
Having a yard sale will bring
you extra income.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Social functions are likely
to lead to a special relationship.
Take advantage of every
invitation, and dont be too shy
to mingle. Your uniqueness
will attract attention.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Expect people around
you to be overly critical. Dont
take it personally. Instead, get
involved in a new project that
will allow you to interact and
meet new people.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Reuniting with people
from your past will emphasize
how far youve come. You will
enjoy catching up and learning
about the achievements and
challenges that others have
faced, as well.

DEAR ABBY: Im a
14-year-old girl and I need
my own bedroom. Ever since
I was born, I have shared a
room with my 17-year-old
sister. Maybe it was OK when
we were younger, but now it
is impossible. Its crowded
and annoying. I have no pri-
vacy, and I cant decorate it
how I want.
What makes this worse is
that we have an extra room.
My parents refuse to con-
sider it and wont give me a
reason. It has gotten so bad I
have moved into a closet. Ev-
ery time I walk into my room
I get a headache. I never hang
out there anymore. Please
help. IN THE CLOSET
IN N.Y.
DEAR IN THE CLOSET:
Your parents may be hoping
you can come to a truce with
your sister without having to
sacrice their guest room.
If you feel your bedroom is
crowded, it must be the same
for her. If a truce isnt pos-
sible, then you will have to
continue hanging out in oth-
er parts of the house.
Although it may be incon-
venient for you, your sister
cant help that she exists, and
the sooner you accept it, the
sooner your headache will
lessen. As to redecorating the
bedroom to suit your taste,
be patient awhile longer.
At 17, your sister should be
nearly out of high school. In
another year shell be 18, and
the room will be all yours if
she plans on going to college
or nding a job, roommates
and independence.
P.S. At that point, dont be
surprised if you miss her.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: A friend
I have known for about 10
years messaged me again to-
night saying she was going to
commit suicide. I tried to get
her to go to a hospital, but
she refused. When I told her
I was going to contact the po-
lice, she backed down a bit.
This has become an almost-
nightly occurrence.
Shes going through a
rough patch right now. Shes
breaking things off with her
drug-addicted longtime part-
ner. She is also underem-
ployed, in danger of being
evicted and has cancer. It is
tough on me to talk her down
from the ledge every night.
Many of her problems are
of her own making, but she
cant seem to see that. She
cant afford therapy. I have
taken her to Al-Anon, but she
quit after a short time. I dont
know what to do. I hate to
break it off with her because
Im afraid she will kill her-
self. I am the only friend she
has left. How much longer do
I hold on? SUCKED DRY
IN KANSAS
DEAR SUCKED DRY:
Because your friend is call-
ing nightly threatening to
harm herself, it appears she
is using you to vent. Thats
all right if its consensual
and you have the emotional
strength to handle it. If you
dont, and because you de-
scribe yourself as emotion-
ally depleted (sucked dry),
Im advising you to start
screening your calls. Im
not advising you to shut her
out completely, but to allow
yourself not to answer your
phone unless you are feeling
up for it. And if she threatens
suicide again, follow through
on contacting the police.

Twos a crowd in bedroom shared by teenage sisters
Dear Heloise: Every year,
my two dogs ght eas. I
hate harsh chemical prod-
ucts, so I wondered if you
have hints to help minimize
these pests. Mandy M. in
California
Unfortunately, our pets
do sometimes bring these
little pests into our homes.
Here are a few hints from the
Environmental Protection
Agency on helping to keep
eas to a minimum in your
home:
* Keep your pets inside
the majority of the time, and
have them go outside only to
do their business.
* Wash pet bedding in
hot water at least every two
weeks. Make sure its clean.
* Comb your dogs regu-
larly with a ea comb to
check for and remove any
adult eas. Concentrate on
the dogs necks and tails,
where most eas are found.
* Vacuum your home reg-
ularly (every day, if needed),
particularly where your dogs
like to sleep. This will help
capture eggs, larvae and
adult eas to prevent a full
infestation. Heloise

RUST REMOVER
Dear Heloise: I had a rust
stain on a white blouse. A
neighbor suggested using a
combination of lemon juice
and salt on it, then placing
the garment outside in the
light, and the stain would
disappear. It worked!
Carolyn M., Theodore, Ala.
Carolyn, Im so glad this
classic hint worked for you!
It usually is suggested for
dried ink stains, but Im sure
it could work wonders on
others. Just be careful when
using this method. Test in a
hidden area, and watch care-
fully so you dont damage
the fabric!
I love helping people get
out tough stains! Have one
that you need help with?
Just order my pamphlet to
get all of my stain-removing
hints. To receive, send $5
and a long, self-addressed,
stamped (70 cents) envelope
to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O.
Box 795001, San Antonio,
TX 78279-5001.
Black clothing looking a
little dull? Rinse in a solution
of clear water and vinegar. It
will remove soap residue that
may be causing the dullness.

SEWING SAVING
Dear Heloise: I am an
avid sewer. I am always on
the lookout for good sourc-
es of material to use in my
projects. When stores have
clearance sales, I look at the
quilts, tablecloths, shower
curtains, etc., to see if any
of the fabric matches things
I want to sew. I recently
bought a denim shower cur-
tain for $8. I have already
made three projects using
the denim! Peggy J., Fay-
etteville, Ark.
MUSHROOM MAGIC
Dear Heloise: Mushrooms
are sold in small, plastic con-
tainers that work great for
other things. I use them on
the bathroom counter, night-
stand, dresser and in drawers
to keep small items, such as
makeup, toiletries and jew-
elry, organized. Betsy in

NEW YORK (AP) Data released by Veterans Affairs of-
cials earlier this week appeared to conrm that new patients
at the agencys medical centers were routinely waiting 30, 50 or
even more than 90 days to see a doctor. It turns out those statis-
tics came with some big caveats.
Average wait times at many of the facilities are likely much
shorter, Philip Matkovsky, an assistant deputy undersecretary at
the Department of Veterans Affairs, told The Associated Press
on Friday.
He said information about patients who received care very
quickly was left out of the analysis for technical reasons.
They are valid numbers, he said of audit results issued
Monday, but acknowledged that the exclusion of those receiving
swift care and other factors led to longer average reported wait
times for some facilities than actually experienced by veterans.
One reason for the disparity is that the audit essentially rep-
resented a look into future doctor visits, while another VA data
system assessed wait times by looking at the past, Matkovsky
said.
The bottom line, though, he added, remains unchanged:
Many veterans are still waiting too long for care.
Nobody should wait 90 days for an appointment from when
they want to be seen, he said.
Since Mondays release of average wait time data by VA
headquarters ofcials in Washington, administrators at local
VA medical centers have been questioning the announced audit
results, saying they didnt jibe with internal data showing far
shorter waits. The complaints have come not only from places
that fared the worst in the audit, but also from hospitals that
ranked in the middle or did relatively well.
Our numbers are signicantly better than what was re-
leased, said Dr. Jeffrey Ryan, the associate chief of staff at
the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago. The audit had
pegged average wait times there for new primary care patients
at 41 days. Ryan said the real wait was a fraction of that, typi-
cally just a day or two.
At the Durham VA Medical Center in North Carolina, of-
cials said they were bafed after the audit singled them out as
having a whopping 104-day average wait for new patients seek-
ing mental health services. They said the VAs national schedul-
ing database pegged the overall average wait time this year for
the same category of patients at 25 days.
Beth Brown, director of the Louis A. Johnson VA Medi-
cal Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia, said her most recent
batch of data for April showed new patients waiting an average
of eight days for primary care, 21 days to see a specialist and 11
days for mental health services. The audit had entirely different
numbers: 54 days for primary care, 86 days for a specialist and
96 days for mental health services.
For the audit, investigators essentially took a snapshot of all
appointments in the VAs medical scheduling system as it ex-
isted on May 15. At that time, there were about six million visits
that had been scheduled but hadnt yet taken place. The average
wait times in the audit report were based on the time elapsed be-
tween when those appointments were requested and when they
were scheduled to occur.

BAGHDAD (AP) Iraqs
Shiite clerical leadership Fri-
day called on all Iraqis to de-
fend their country from Sunni
militants who have seized large
swaths of territory, and a U.N.
ofcial expressed extreme
alarm at reprisal killings in the
offensive, citing reports of hun-
dreds of dead and wounded.
U.S. President Barack
Obama said he is weighing op-
tions for countering the insur-
gency, but warned Iraqi leaders
that he would not take military
action unless they moved to ad-
dress the countrys political di-
visions.
Fighters from the al-Qaida-
inspired Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant made fresh
gains, driving government forc-
es at least temporarily from two
towns in an ethnically mixed
province northeast of Baghdad.
The assault threatens to embroil
Iraq more deeply in a wider re-
gional conict feeding off the
chaos caused by the civil war in
neighboring Syria.
The fast-moving rebellion,
which also draws support from
former Saddam Hussein-era
gures and other disaffected
Sunnis, has emerged as the
biggest threat to Iraqs stabil-
ity since the U.S. withdrawal in
2011. It has pushed the nation
closer to a precipice that could
partition it into Sunni, Shiite
and Kurdish zones.

WASHINGTON (AP) To the
frustration of many of his supporters,
President Barack Obama is backing
away from immigration changes he
could make on his own. He is kick-
ing the issue to House Republicans
instead, despite mounting evidence
they wont address the millions of im-
migrants living illegally in the United
States.
This week, lawmakers from both
parties summarily declared immigra-
tion-overhaul efforts dead after House
Majority Leader Eric Cantor suffered
an unexpected defeat at the hands of a
fellow Republican who criticized him
as too soft on the issue. But Obama
still voices hope Congress will act.
Our strategy has not changed,
says White House communications di-
rector Jennifer Palmieri. The impetus
for action remains on the House.
Its an approach thats drawing
friendly re from immigration advo-
cates who say Obama has been sitting
on his hands long enough. For starters,
they want immediate action to slow
deportations.
But the White House wants to en-
sure that if and when an overhaul ulti-
mately dies in Congress, Republicans
cant claim it was Obama who pulled
the plug. Instead, Obama hopes his
strategy will allow Democrats down
the road to put all the blame on Re-
publicans for failing to deal with im-
migrants in the U.S. illegally.
Its not as if Obama could legalize
an estimated 11.5 million people with
a wave of his hand.
Last month in the Oval Ofce,
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh
Johnson presented him with a basket
of options hed developed after the
president personally ordered a review
of how he could make deportation pol-
icy more humane, said a senior White
House ofcial. The ofcial spoke only
on condition of anonymity to describe
a private meeting.
Johnsons options were narrow and
would affect only small groups of im-
migrants facing deportation, the of-
cial said a far cry from the across-
the-board freeze many immigration
advocates are demanding.

WASHINGTON (AP)
The Internal Revenue Service
said Friday it has lost a trove
of emails to and from a cen-
tral gure in the agencys tea
party controversy, sparking
outrage from congressional
investigators who have been
probing the agency for more
than a year.
The IRS told Congress
Friday it cannot locate many
of Lois Lerners emails prior
to 2011 because her computer
crashed during the summer of
that year.
Lerner headed the IRS di-
vision that processed applica-
tions for tax-exempt status.
The IRS acknowledged last
year that agents had improp-
erly scrutinized applications
for tax-exempt status by tea
party and other conservative
groups.
The fact that I am just
learning about this, over a
year into the investigation,
is completely unacceptable
and now calls into question
the credibility of the IRS
response to congressional
inquiries, said Rep. Dave
Camp, R-Mich., chairman of
the House Ways and Means
Committee. There needs to
be an immediate investigation
and forensic audit by Depart-
ment of Justice as well as the
inspector general.
The Ways and Means
Committee is one of three
congressional committees in-
vestigating the IRS over its
handling of tea party applica-
tions from 2010 to 2012. The
Justice Department and the
IRS inspector general are also
investigating.
Congressional investiga-
tors have shown that IRS of-
cials in Washington were
closely involved in the han-
dling of tea party applications,
many of which languished for
more than a year without ac-
tion. But so far, they have not
publicly produced evidence
that anyone outside the agency
directed the targeting or even
knew about it.
If anyone outside the agen-
cy was involved, investigators
were hoping for clues in Le-
rners emails.
The IRS said technicians
went to great lengths trying
to recover data from Lerners
computer in 2011. In emails
provided by the IRS, techni-
cians said they sent the com-
puter to a forensic lab run by
the agencys criminal investi-
gations unit. But to no avail.

SAN ANTONIO (AP)
In the moments after Army
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl arrived
back in the United States fol-
lowing ve years of captivity
by the Taliban in Afghanistan,
he was nervous but looked
good and saluted a com-
manding ofcer who wel-
comed him home, military
ofcials said Friday.
Bergdahl is working daily
with health professionals to
regain a sense of normalcy
and move forward with his
life, ofcials added.
Bergdahls family has not
joined him since he arrived at
Brooke Army Medical Center
at Fort Sam Houston in Texas
after midnight Friday, and
Army ofcials would not say
when relatives might show up.
In a statement read at a
news conference Friday, Berg-
dahls parents said they are
overjoyed that their son has
returned to the United States
but asked for privacy.
Maj. Gen. Joseph P.
DiSalvo, who greeted Berg-
dahl upon his arrival from an
Army medical facility in Ger-
many, said he exchanged a few
words with Bergdahl after a
three-vehicle convoy met him.
He appeared just like any
sergeant would when they see
a two-star general, a little bit
nervous. But he looked good
and saluted and had good de-
portment, DiSalvo said at the
news conference, adding that
Bergdahl was in stable condi-
tion.
Ofcials said there is no
timeline for the nal step in
Bergdahls reintegration pro-
cess.
We will proceed at his
pace, said Col. Bradley Pop-
pen, an Army psychologist.
As far as Bergdahls inter-
action with relatives, Poppen
said a soldier typically deter-
mines when to reunite with
his or her family. Poppen
declined to release further
details, citing the familys
request for privacy. After
the news conference, of-
cials said they did not know
if Bergdahl has spoken with
his family.
Military ofcials declined
to give details on what Berg-
dahl might remember about
his capture or what he knows
about the public uproar sur-
rounding his capture and re-
lease.
In the short time he has
been back on U.S. soil, Berg-
dahl, who can walk on his
own, has been on a bland diet
and has shown a fondness for
peanut butter, ofcials said.
While at Brooke Army
Medical Center, Bergdahl
will have a standard patient
room but will not have access
to a television, said Col. Ron-
ald Wool, who is in charge of
Bergdahls medical care.
