Village foresees new water this summer


BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com SPENCERVILLE Village Administrator Sean Chapman reported he held a meeting with Kirk Bros. and Peterman & Associates to discuss the progress of the redesigned aspects of the water treatment plant during Mondays village council meeting. Kirk Bros. was able to knock a month off of the schedule and feels that another month could come off depending on how things progress, Chapman said. The updated schedule would see the village with a new water plant sometime this summer. The water treatment plant project is gaining momentum. Chapman gave these details: the building layout has been finalized and it will be delivered at the end of March; the electrical component drawings are completed and have been sent to PDG for inclusion into the overall plans; the foundation slab/ design has been completed; Kirk Bros. will be on site beginning the end of March when the building arrives to

First influenza death reported to Allen County Public Health


Information submitted LIMA Allen County Public Health received a report of the countys first influenza-related death of the season in a 50-year-old female. While there have been some reports of decreasing flu activity in Ohio, cases of hospitalized influenza in Allen County continue to be reported. So far this season, 30 influenza-associated hospitalizations have been reported in Allen County. We are saddened by the reported death, said Health Commissioner Kathy Luhn. Flu is a serious illness and not something we should take lightly. Symptoms of influenza include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches and fatigue. Young and middleaged adults have been disproportionately affected with the flu this season. Luhn said that vaccination continues to be the most effective way to fight the flu. In addition to receiving the vaccination, it is important to protect yourself from the flu and other illnesses by washing your hands often and limiting contact with people who are sick. Flu vaccine is still available at Allen County Public Health. For more information about our seasonal flu vaccinations or to schedule an appointment, visit our website at www.allencountypublichealth.org or call us at 419-228-4457 and ask to speak with someone in our Nursing Division.

Hundreds run, walk and shiver their ashes off


Clara Hanf receives the ashes Wednesday during the Ash Wednesday prayer service at the community track. Hundreds of people attended the Run Your Ashes Off 5K behind Jefferson High School despite the cold and wind. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of fasting, prayer and almsgiving for Christians and St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church hosted the 5K to do all three as a community. Father Dave Reinhart, the Rev. Angela Khabeb of St. Peters Lutheran Church and Pastor Harry Tolhurst of First Presbyterian Church led the service. Attendees received the ashes and gathered by the starting line to take off on the 5K, whether it be by running, walking or sliding on snow. The funds made from registration and T-shirt sales will benefit the St. Vincent DePaul Society.

install footers; the plumbing/ HVAC is ready for submission and inclusion into the plans, as well as to appropriate agencies for permitting; and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) approval is expected by the end of March. Chapman explained the village will need to work out the details on how to handle the Buschur Electric contract since they are proposed to be working under the KBC contract. There will be a change order proposed that will essentially increase the KBC contract by the same amount remaining on the Buschur Electric contract which will result in a zero change in overall contract price. In addition, Chapman said Kirk Bros. has close to $1,040,000 yet to be billed. We will work with Kirk Bros. on establishing a new Schedule of Values (SOV) as part of Change Order 2G, Chapman stated. Some of the items on the current SOV will not be performed and it makes sense to modify the SOV to reflect items that will actually be built into the project. See WATER, page 10

Library board passes $912,000 budget


BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The Delphos Public Library Board of Trustees passed $912,000 in appropriations for the 2014 Budget. Fiscal Officer Janet Bonifas told the board there were few changes from the 2013 Budget with the exception of increasing appropriations for the utilities fund, lowering the furniture and equipment fund from $30,000 to $10,000 and increasing the training fund by $1,000. We can see what a cold winter can do to our utility bills, so we increased that fund and we lowered the furniture and equipment fund because those purchases usually come before the board for approval, Bonifas said. We increased the fund for training because the staff needs to keep up with all the technological changes. Bonifas added the financials for the first two months of the year look good with appropriations at 10.38 percent of the years budget. Director Kelly Rist told the board the library has taken possession of six new computers, three in the childrens area and three in the adult area. The AWE computer has also been installed with instant success. It wasnt there a day and the kids were flocking to it, Rist said.

State reports recordJudge: Ohio teen low prisoner return rate competent to
BRIEFS
HAMILTON (AP) A 17-year-old Ohio boy accused of tying his parents bedroom doors shut while they were inside and setting the house on fire has been found competent to stand trial. He is charged as an adult with attempted aggravated murder and aggravated arson for the October fire in Liberty Township, north of Cincinnati. The judge ruled on his competency Wednesday. Defense attorney Brad Kraemer has entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity for the teenager. Kraemer declined to comment Wednesday. Deputies say the father injured his leg jumping out of a window, and his wife was treated for smoke inhalation. Authorities say the teen apparently was upset that his laptop computer was taken away. The Associated Press isnt identifying the teen or his family because of his age.

STATE/LOCAL

Ohio places second in development rankings


COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio placed second to Texas again last year in an annual survey measuring how states stack up in attracting companies and getting existing ones to expand. Texas recorded 657 projects in 2013, well ahead of Ohios 480. Illinois was third, followed by Pennsylvania and Michigan. Thats according to Site Selection magazine, which for the second straight year awarded Texas the Governors Cup for its efforts. Ohio won the competition in 2011. The Columbus Dispatch reports that the magazine added a second category this year that judges how states do per capita. Ohio came in second to Nebraska. Its one thing for states to be on both lists but Ohio is second on both lists, and thats impressive, said the magazines editor, Mark Arend. Even though Ohio has done well in the competition, the state still places behind many others when it comes to recovering jobs lost during the recession. A project is defined as an investment by a company of $1 million or more in a new facility, the addition of 50 or more jobs to an existing operation, or an expansion of at least 20,000 square feet to an existing building. Several Ohio cities scored well in the survey. Among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million, Cincinnati came in sixth and Columbus eighth. Both cities moved up two spots from 2012. Chicago was first in that category, followed by Houston and Dallas. Dayton came in seventh and Youngstown tied for eighth among metro areas with a population of 200,000 to 1 million. That category was led by Omaha, Neb., followed by Allentown, Pa. Among the smallest cities, Wooster came in first and Findlay was fourth.

stand trial in fire

Mans sister jailed over comment in courtroom


CINCINNATI (AP) A Cincinnati woman was ordered to spend 30 days in jail because a police officer said he overheard her making an insulting comment after her brothers sentencing for assaulting and robbing a developmentally disabled woman. Rhonda Bailey was sent to jail Tuesday by the same judge that sentenced her brother Harry Bailey to 24 years in prison. He was convicted in February on charges of burglary, robbery and felonious assault in the attack last year on the woman who was his neighbor in an apartment building. When he was hurting me, I told him I did not want to die, the woman, Shawntelle Miller, wrote to Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman. I told him I did not want to die. He then balled both his fists up, punched me and said he wanted to kill me. Police said Bailey robbed her of $80. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that a city police officer overheard Rhonda Bailey make an insulting comment, including an obscenity to the victims father, when she was leaving the courtroom. The 46-year-old woman was escorted back into the courtroom. A police officer told the judge what he heard her say. She denied it. Youre an animal, just like your brother, Ruehlman said. He sentenced her to 30 days for contempt. No attorney was listed for her in court and jail records.

Greenpeace activist bonds set at $50,000


CINCINNATI (AP) A judge set bond Wednesday at $50,000 each for nine Greenpeace activists he rebuked for their eye-catching protest at Procter & Gamble Co. headquarters in downtown Cincinnati. Municipal Court Judge Brad Greenberg said the protest, in which activists using a zip line Tuesday to unfurl giant banners from P&Gs two towers, was a reckless and ill-advised stunt. They were protesting the consumer products companys use of palm oil from a supplier Greenpeace says is tied to tropical forest destruction in Indonesia. Greenberg said the protest, which involved a helicopter to film it, was alarming. You put people in danger, he said. You take what they might consider to be a selfless cause and you turn it into a selfish act by putting people in danger in this manner. Attorney William Gallagher told the judge that the activists arent flight risks and will return for every court proceeding, even though all live out of state, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. He said all work in professional jobs and none has a criminal record. Police arrested them on burglary and vandalism counts, and they all spent the night in jail. Their cases will go to a grand jury. A Greenpeace representative, Amy Moas, said the activists were willing to deal with the consequences of their protest and that the environmental organization backs them completely. P&G said Tuesday it is committed to achieving a 100 percent sustainable

COLUMBUS (AP) Fewer ex-inmates are going back to prison, the state announced Wednesday, attributing the drop to community programs that work with newly released offenders and new prison units that prepare people for life outside bars. The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction says the current inmate return rate of 27.1 percent, down from 28.7 percent a year ago, is far below the national rate of 40 to 44 percent. The decrease affects not just the prison systems bottom line but the bigger goal of reducing crime in Ohio, prisons director Gary Mohr said. If our people being released from prison are committing less offenses, then we have less crime victims, Mohr told The Associated Press. I think thats the most important piece. Saving money on prison operations also means more state dollars can be spent earlier in peoples lives on things like education, he added. Going forward, the expansion of Medicaid is expected to help connect incarcerated people to needed resources as they come home. The state projects that roughly 366,000 residents will be newly-eligible for coverage by the end of June 2015 by increasing the state-federal health care program for poor children and families. Mohr says a lower return rate will also help the state reduce its prisoner population, currently about 50,500. A 2011 sentencing law meant to lower the number hasnt had the desired impact, leading to fears that the state may need to spend millions to build a new prison after 2017, while pushing judges to rethink sentences and placing a greater emphasis on rehabilitation. The current prison population hasnt changed

much since 2011, despite projections that it would drop to 47,000 by 2015 and continue to decline. Ohios prisoner population could grow to 52,000 in two years and top 53,000 in six years, Mohr warned last year. The state is currently at 134 percent of capacity and could hit 139 percent by 2019. Californias system was declared unconstitutional at 140 percent, meaning federal courts could intervene and order expensive changes. Its not that the 2011 law is failing. Challenges, including a recent increase in violent crime and an uptick in cases filed by prosecutors, are holding back promises that the law would lower the prisoner population. Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen OConnor has said the courts are also part of the problem and called on judges to be more diligent about reducing the number of offenders behind bars. Hundreds of offenders come through programs offered by Oriana House in Akron each year, either in temporary halfway houses as a transition from prison or in longer-term, more secure facilities as an alternative to prison. The offenders can receive addiction and behavior counseling, employment services and education, among other offerings from a coalition aimed at helping offenders re-enter society, said Anne Connell-Freund, Orianas vice president for operations. The individuals are coming back to the community no matter what, she said. Youre going to have a safer community coming through our programs vs. coming back through the prisons, she said. The rate announced Wednesday is based on a three-year study of inmates released in 2010.

Court is asked to reconsider Amish chemo case


TOLEDO (AP) The lawyer for an Amish family wants the Ohio Supreme Court to reconsider its decision not to hear a case involving the couple who fought a hospital over resuming chemotherapy for their 11-yearold daughter. The familys attorney had hoped the court would strike down a decision allowing a court-appointed guardian to make medical decisions for the girl. By a 4-3 vote in mid-February, the court said it would not hear the case. The guardian already has dropped her attempt to force the girl to resume chemotherapy for leukemia. But the family from northeast Ohios Medina County still wants the original ruling thrown out because they say the decision robbed them of their constitutional rights. The familys legal fight with an Akron hospital began last summer.

Webinar focuses on improving soil health


BY JAMES HOORMAN Putnam County Extension Ag educator Improving soil health not only cleans up water quality and reduces soil loss but also provides a better environment for cash crops to succeed. Learn about basic soil health principles and how cover crops are a key to making those happen on your farm. An American Society of Agronomy (ASA) free webinar series will focus on cover crops and their implications on soil health, maximizing yields, livestock considerations and crop management. The free webinar takes place from 1-2 p.m. today through March 27. Registration is required for each webinar and must be done at least one hour prior to start time. Registration for the webinars includes access to the live webinar and a link to a recording of the webinar. The recording link will be emailed within one week and will be available for 30 days after you receive the email. Go to https://www.agronomy. org/education/online-courses to register. Topics will include: Cover Crops, Soil Health Principals and Maximizing Yields - today Kristine Nichols, USDAARS; and Ray McCormick, Indiana farmer. Combining Livestock, Manure and Cover Crops - March 13 Tim Harrigan, Michigan State University; and Kent Solberg, Minnesota farmer. Cover Crops Seed Selection and Planting - March 20 Jim Hoorman, Ohio State University Extension; and Keith Berns, Green Cover Seed. Cover Crop Management and Termination - March 27 Mike Plumer, Ill., consultant; and Steve Berger, Iowa, farmer. For more information contact Michele Lovejoy at 608-268-4947. The All Ohio Chapter of the Soil & Water Conservation Society will be holding a conference titled, Can Agriculture Significantly Reduce Off-Site Movement of Soluble Nutrients? from 8:30 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. on March 17 at the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Bromfield Auditorium located at 8995 East Main Street, Reynoldsburg. The emphasis of the presentations at this years conference will be discussing technologies and techniques to reduce off-site movement of nutrients and the barriers to their adoption and implementation. The cost of the event, which includes lunch and refreshments, is $40 for Soil & Water Conservation Society members and $50 for non-members. There is a $10 late fee for those registering after Friday. This daylong event has been pre-approved for Certified Crop Advisor Continuing Education Units in the following categories: five hours of Soil & Water Management and one hour of Nutrient Management. For more information, go to: http://ofbf.org/ news-and-events/events/773/. The Putnam County Beef Producers will be hosting a meeting from 6:30-8:30 p.m. March 17 at the Putnam County Extension office on Using Cover Crops as Forages. Gary Wilson, retired Hancock Extension educator, will talk about using oats, cereal rye and other forages for beef and sheep and Eric Richer, Fulton County Extension educator, will talk about the economics and nutritional value of cereal rye for beef. Jim Hoorman will discuss using Sorghum Sudan grass as a forage crop after wheat. For anyone wanting to either add categories or take the pesticide applicator test for the first time, we will be holding training from 10 a.m. to noon on March 25 with testing from 1-3 p.m. at the Putnam County Extension Office, 1206 East Second St. in Ottawa. The cost is $20 for the training but the testing is free. You need to pass a CORE test and at least one category to get your pesticide license. You will be notified if you pass and then you will need to send in $30 for your license and be required to get recertified every three years by attending three hours of pesticide applicator training (PAT). You also have the option of skipping the PAT training if you just want to retake the test. The Putnam County Extension office has study materials which we suggest you pick up to study at least a couple days or weeks before the test is given. The Putnam County Dairy Banquet is from 6-9 p.m. on March 25 at the Kalida K.C. Hall. The cost is $10 per person and the entertainment is Matt Bowers, local country music singer.

Census data shows continued growth in Ohio ag industry


Preliminary results depict climbing market values, more acres in agricultural production
Information submitted nomic growth and this data shows us they are working harder than ever to provide our state with a safe, wholesome and abundant food supply, said Ohio Agriculture Director David T. Daniels. Among the most notable results in the preliminary data is the increase in the market value of crops and livestock sold since the census was last completed in 2007. While market value numbers increased 32.78 percent nationally, the value of Ohio crops and livestock increased 42.28 percent. This is primarily due to a sharp increase in crop values, which increased in Ohio by 60.54 percent but only 47.85 percent nationally. Ohio is ranked 13th nationally with a total value of crop and livestock sales just over $10 billion in 2012. While the number of farms has decreased both in Ohio and in the nation, Ohio has lost only 0.5 percent of its farms when the number of farms nationally has decreased by 4.3 percent; Ohio now ranks 7th for the number of farms in the nation with 75,462. Furthermore, in a time when farm acres are disappearing, with the nation losing about 7.5 million acres of farmland since the 2007 census, the numbers of acres in agricultural production in Ohio have remained steady and actually increased slightly. The state now has 13.96 million acres of farmland. One of the most important takeaways to remember about the Census of Agriculture is that the information is used for decisionmaking by producers, as

Landowners file lawsuit over Missouri River floods


BY JOSH FUNK Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. A group of farmers and business owners sued the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Wednesday, saying the agencys decisions since 2006 have contributed to major flooding in five states. The federal lawsuit said landowners should be compensated for the extensive damage they experienced particularly during the extended 2011 flooding that devastated hundreds of thousands of acres of mostly farmland in South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. The lawsuit filed by more than 200 landowners said the Corps has deemphasized flood control while deciding how to manage Missouri River reservoirs as part of an effort to restore habitat for endangered species, and it claimed that has contributed to more flooding. These floods have substantially impacted and destroyed Plaintiffs land and property, depriving them of its use and enjoyment for extended periods of time and, in some cases, permanently, the lawsuit said. But for the Corps departure from its longstanding flood control policies and procedures, most if not all of this flooding would not have occurred at all. Officials from the Corps did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Wednesday morning. Outside experts who reviewed the 2011 flooding said the Corps did the best it could in dealing with record amounts of water that flowed into the 2,341-mile-long river after unusually heavy spring rains in Montana and North Dakota. But there has been flooding along the river in five of the past seven years, and that wasnt the case before creating wildlife habitat became a higher priority, said Eddie Smith, one of the plaintiff s lawyers. We believe this flooding wouldnt have occurred if the Corps hadnt turned its back on its effort to tame the river, Smith said. The 2011 flooding lasted more than three months after the Corps began releasing massive amounts of water from reservoirs upstream that were filled by melted snow and heavy rains. The floodwaters overwhelmed levees, carved gouges up to 50 feet deep, created sand dunes 15-feet-deep and deposited strange debris on farmers fields. Farmer Bill Sheldon said he

still deals with some damage from the 2011 flood on his farm near Percival, Iowa, nearly every day. Sheldon said hes been able to plant crops of some of the 2,500 acres he farms that were inundated, but it still doesnt produce the same amount. Sheldon said his family invested in heavy equipment to move the drifts of sand 4-feet-deep the river left behind, but it is going to be a long recovery. We just want to be compensated for the damage, Sheldon said. Scott Olson, who farms near Tekamah, Neb., said he feels fortunate that hes been able to resume growing crops on most of the 500 acres that flooded in 2011, but the soil remains depleted and will take years to recover. Olson said he joined the lawsuit and helped recruit farmers his family had sold farm equipment to over the years because he wants the land to remain productive farmland. Id like to pass my land and my heritage down to my children, Olson said. With the direction this river is going, if it continues to be an ongoing flood over the years, I wont have much to pass down to them.

Bulldog boys subdue Kenton in Districts


By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com FINDLAY Elida and Kenton are used to playing against each other as members of the Western Buckeye League, so it was no surprise that the Wildcats would play the Bulldogs tough. It helped that the Dawgs struggled shooting the ball, especially the first half. In the end, senior Dakota Mathias finally got the help he needed in the second half, especially from sophomore Marquevious Wilson, to subdue their foe 60-47 in Division II District boys basketball semifinal action Wednesday night at Liberty-Benton just outside of the city of Findlay. The Bulldogs (21-3) will battle Bath (20-4), the winner in the nightcap, at 7 p.m. Saturday for the District title. Elida had trailed by seven in the second period and was down five at the half. Elida shot 23-of-57 for the night (6-of-16 downtown) for 40.3 percent overall but was 9-of-27 the first half (1-of-8 from long distance). The Bulldogs held a slim 39-38 lead entering the finale and Wilson (14 markers, 5 boards) scored on a lob from Mathias (28 counters, 5 boards, 4 dimes) just 13 ticks into the quarter. It was the Wilson (11 counters in the period) and Mathias (8) show for the period, outside of a basket by senior Uncle Louis Gray (6 points, 5 caroms, 3 assists, 3 steals) midway through. The Wildcats stayed within striking distance until the very end, when a personal 6-point ending spree by Wilson took the lead from 54-47 on two Mathias singles at 1:04 to the final margin. Kentons man-to-man defense with various defenders assigned to Mathias (9-for-22 shooting; 8-of-9 free throws) did its job the first period, not allowing the Bulldogs to get purely clean looks at the hoop and mostly denying penetration in limiting them to 4-of-16 shooting. On the other end, the Wildcat offense struggled against the Bulldog man-to-man, committing six of its game total of 14 turnovers in the period and only getting off seven shots

Wrestlers cap off season at All-Star clash


By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The Lima Area Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Meet was held in front of a packed house at Jefferson High School Wednesday night. The match of the night was appropriately the last scoring match of the evening featuring Logan Vandemark of Spencerville and Van Werts Zack Thomas. Also on the line was the team title as the winner of the match would give his squad enough team points to win the meet. Thomas defeated Vandemark two weeks ago at Districts to qualify for the Elida sophomore Marquevious Wilson soars to the hoop for a deuce as State tournament, where he Kenton defender Colyn Blackford tries to stop him Wednesday night at finished in eighth place.

The wrestlers were really into the exciting matchups this year, commented Lima Central Catholic head coach and wrestling referee Paul Basinger commented. Other years, the kids went through the motions and really didnt want to be here but this time was the complete opposite. Last year, no All-Star meet was held at the end of the year so the Lima Area coaches knew they had to do something different. In the past, we matched up Western Buckeye League Schools against Northwest Conference schools and had independent schools in the mix, too, explained St. Johns coach Derek Sterling. This year, we didnt look at the leagues but at our final LAWCA rankings and made the teams up from there for something different. See WRESTLERS, page 7

Hope springs eternal in spring football?

loses heart or his love of the game, simply doesnt want to put in the time or whatever. It was also interesting to see how players have returned from the inevitable injuries that happen in major-college football and have always happened. Nowadays, its become box office big around Columbus and elsewhere, such as Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa, Austin and Los Angeles. The spring games at these places have become so important, they are televised as if they are a regular-season game. What didnt used to happen and is now coming about with more and more frequency are high school seniors who elect to graduate early and get a head start on their college careers by going through these spring practices. Whatever happened to enjoying your senior year of high school? Throw into the mix how in some southern states, they have had spring football practice for a number of years now in the little research I was able to do because the opening of spring practice at Ohio State really spurred this column and in Texas, Spring High School in Spring near Houston; one of my many, many friends (or at least a couple) lives there with his wife-matespouse and four children has a spring football team.

Childers made right decision to crew chief Harvick


By JENNA FRYER Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. Rodney Childers wrestled for months with the decision to join Kevin Harvick at Stewart-Haas Racing. Just when he thought hed made up his mind to leave Michael Waltrip Racing, he and Brian Vickers won a race together at New Hampshire. Weeks went by after that victory last July when Childers thought his heart was truly in remaining with MWR. He woke up one day and his mind was finally made up. My alarm went off and it hit me, it was like, I need to go to StewartHaas and crew chief Kevin Harvick, Childers told The Associated Press this week. So much for peace of mind: MWR reacted to his decision by essentially benching Childers for the rest of the season. He couldnt work for almost six weeks. He pressure washed his house, tweeted with fans during races and had weekends off for the first time in his adult life.

Finally, in late October, MWR gave Childers his release and he was free to join to SHR and get a head-start on the 2014 season. When I started, it was a bit overwhelming, the way its run is different because the crew chiefs have a lot more control, Childers recalled. I got there and really wasnt happy with the way the cars were built, the equipment needed to be a lot nicer. I started to think after six or seven days, Man, this is going to take a long time to fix.

10-second rule withdrawn by NCAA rules committee


Associated Press NEW YORK Round 1 in the fight over pace of play in college football goes to those who have the need for speed. The NCAA football rules committee tabled a proposal Wednesday that would have penalized offenses for snapping the ball before 10 seconds had run off the 40-second play clock. After a conference call, the committee decided not to send the so-called 10-second rule to the playing rules oversight panel for approval today. What the committee agreed to do was table that proposal to allow time to gather more information from the medical community and allow time for a broader discussion for the implications of that change, NCAA national coordinator of officials Rogers Redding told the AP on Wednesday. Redding said the NCAA received 324 comments during the feedback period after the proposal passed and 75 percent opposed the change; 16 percent supported the proposal. The rest were uncertain. Redding added a new proposal was passed by the committee to expand roughing the passer to include forcible hits to the knees or below. That proposal now goes into a comment period before it will be taken up by the oversight panel. Today, the panel will consider a proposal to drop the 15-yard penalty when an ejection for a targeting foul is overturned by video replay and no other foul is involved. Last year, if the ejection for targeting was overturned, the 15-yard penalty stood. The 10-second proposal was touted as a move to protect players by slowing down the fast-break offenses so prevalent now in college football. Supporters, such as Alabamas Nick Saban and Arkansas Bret Bielema, said they were concerned about the increasing number of plays in games and the inability to substitute for fatigued defensive players. Other coaches were infuriated by the proposal. Auburns Gus Malzahn, Arizonas Rich Rodriguez and Texas Techs Kliff Kingsbury were among the many critics who said there was no proof that up-tempo offenses increased the risk of injuries. Rodriguez and Arizona went to so far as to make a YouTube video spoof of the movie Speed to get his point across. I dont know where it goes from here but I appreciate the rules committee realizing it was a mistake to put it out there right now, Rodriguez said Wednesday in a telephone interview. Had the rule been approved it would have gone into effect next season. The penalty for snapping the ball too fast would have been 5 yards. Bielema and Saban were not on the rules committee but had a chance to address it last month and push for changes to control the ever-quickening pace of play. Alabama ranked 116th in the nation in plays per game last year at 65.9 per game. Arkansas was 121st at 64.7. The proposal was passed on Feb. 12. What followed was three weeks of heated debate among college football fans and coaches about the evolution of football. A debate that is not even close to over. Im just one that doesnt think the officials should not control the pace of the game, Saban told reporters before it was announced the 10-second rule had been withdrawn. Thats what I think, because thats a player safety issue, too. To me, football was not intended to be a continuous game. Soccer is. Rugby is. Football was never intended to be that. Its been played for a long time and theres always been a little bit of time between plays because of the physical nature, the contact thats involved. The proposal caught many coaches by surprise because this is non-change year for

NCAA rules. Exceptions could be made for rules related to player safety, however. Coaches such as Rodriguez werent buying the safety concerns and felt as if they had been left out of the process. Im more than happy to join that debate if it goes there, Rodriguez added. Theres a lot people with strong opinions on it on both sides. Bielema said he feared for players with the sickle cell trait, a genetic condition that can alter red blood cells during strenuous exercise and cause muscles to break down, being unable to come off the field against fast-moving offenses. Its hasnt been a schematic (issue) or anything, added Bielema, also before the proposal was withdrawn Wednesday. Its all been about player safety and Im not wavering from that because thats all its about. But even rules committee chair Troy Calhoun, the coach at Air Force, acknowledged after the proposal passed that the lack of data supporting safety concerns would make the change difficult to approve. NCAA, conferences sued over scholarship value: Former West Virginia football player Shawne Alston sued the NCAA and five major conferences Wednesday, saying they violated antitrust laws by agreeing to cap the value of an athletic scholarship at less than the actual cost of attending school. Attorneys Steve Berman and Bruce Simon, who have been involved in cases challenging the NCAAs ability to sell college athletes likeness to video-game makers, filed the proposed class-action lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco. Alston, a running back for West Virginia from 2009-12, is the only named plaintiff. The lawsuit also seeks to represent all scholarship football players who have played since February 2010 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference.

Musings

Childers grew so discouraged he thought it would be June or July before Harvick would win his first race with his new team. Six weeks into the process, something suddenly changed. I left work one night and looked around and thought Crap, we can win one of the first four races and we can contend just like anyone else can, Childers said. It had all come together so quickly and from that moment on, our whole demeanor has been a lot different its been about winning. That was evident all last weekend at Phoenix International Raceway, where Harvick showed early on that his No. 4 Chevrolet was going to be a race-day contender. The car was ultimately so good, Harvick led 224 of the 312 laps Sunday en route to a win in just his second race with SHR.

St. Johns senior grappler Austin Martin defeated Baths Nate Stonehill 2-0 for his last high school victory during the Lima Area Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star meet held Wednesday night at Jefferson High School. (Delphos Herald/Larry Heiing) (Continued from page 6) The first match of the All-Star meet featured a pair of state qualifiers as Hunter Lucas (4th at state) of Shawnee defeated 106pound George Clemens from Wayne Trace 2-0. Elidas first state placer since 1998, Blaine Hunter (8th) defeated Jay Uhlenhake of Coldwater 2-0 in the 113pound matchup. Jefferson head coach Mike Wilson served as announcer for the meet and kept the large crowd entertained with his jabs of the officials and others in attendance. Wilsons wrestling team had Tanner Vermule, Hunter Binkley, Tyler Foust and Dustin McConnahea selected to the team. St. Johns selections included Justin Siefker, Austin Martin, Alex Haunhorst and Nate Schroeder. Lincolnview and Van Wert both had one representative as Doug Hicks and Zack Thomas, respectively, were elected. Cody Dickson, Cole Bellows and Logan Vandemark were elected from Spencerville High School and Alec Gladwell and Will Selhorst represented Columbus Grove.

Bulldog
(Continued from page 6) The Wildcats continued to give a solid effort on defense the second period and used a stellar quarter by senior Matt Bahr (19 markers on 3 triples), who carried the offense with 12 points, including two treys. His transition 3 from the left wing gave Kenton its biggest lead of the night at seven 19-12 with 4:22 on the clock. Elida made a pair of runs to get within two twice the latter at 23-21 on a back-door bucket by senior Max Stambaugh (7 counters, 5 rebounds) at 1:43 before two Bahr singles at 43.4 ticks made the halftime scoreboard 28-23, Kenton. Mathias was 5-of-13 at the half but had 15 of Elidas 23 markers (Stambaugh and Gray 4 each). Elida mentor Danny Thompsons only adjustment at halftime was for his team to start making shots; in the third period, they did, especially the supporting cast knocking down some triples to take pressure off Mathias. Senior Austin Allemeier led the effort with five in the period as the Dawgs battled back and first tied their foe at 34 on a spinning banker by Mathias at 3:35. Allemeier gave the Orange and Black the lead on a break-out layin at 3:17, only to see 6-5 Wildcat senior Grant Sherman (12 points, 11 boards) tie it off a lob pass from junior Colyn Blackford (7 points, 4 assists, 5 caroms) at 1:46. A 3-point play by Mathias at 1:34 gave them Elida for good but two Bahr free tosses at 1:15 accounted for the 39-38 Elida margin to enter the finale. I reminded the guys at halftime that we were down to Wapakoneta by 10 at the half two years ago in the sectional finals (the year Elida was Division II State runner-up) and won by 13. It was kind of eerie to win by 13 tonight, Thompson relayed. I felt we were getting good looks at the basket the first half but we just werent making them. We just focused on maintaining our confidence at halftime and continuing to get those same kinds of looks. We started to make them, especially our role players. Marquevious scoring 14 was big; any time we get someone other than Dakota to have a big scoring game, that helps us. We dont want to force Dakota to try and do it all. Kenton ended up 13-of-38 shooting (5-of-15 beyond the arc) for 34.2 percent and 16-of-22 at the stripe (72.,7%); with 29 rebounds (7 offensive) as junior Austin Phillips added five; and 15 fouls. Bahr hurt us the first half but we really didnt make any defensive adjustments either other than to try and pressure the ball better and deny those easy post entries, Thompson added. We had beaten Kenton earlier in the year but they dominated us in the post that night (Jan. 31). I felt we did better in the post tonight; we wanted to force their bigs to shoot over the top and I felt we did that for the most part. Elida finished 8-of-11 from charity (72.7%); with 31 off the glass (12 offensive); six errors; and 14 fouls. KENTON (47) Grant Sherman 3-6-12, Travis Downing 1-0-3, Trevor Downing 1-02, Matt Bahr 5-6-19, Justin Sawmiller 0-2-2, Colyn Blackford 3-0-7, Seth Kuhlman 0-0-0, Kollin Stollar 0-1-1, Austin Phillips 0-1-1. Totals 8-5-16-47. ELIDA (60) Clark Etzler 0-0-0, Max Stambaugh 3-0-7, Marquevious Wilson 6-0-14, Austin Allemeier 2-0-5, Louis Gray 3-0-6, Dakota Mathias 9-8-28, Jamil Johnson 0-0-0, Chance Weitz 0-0-0. Totals 17-6-8-60. Score by Quarters: Kenton 9 19 10 9 - 47 Elida 9 14 16 - 21 - 60 Three-point goals: Kenton, Bahr 3, Tra. Downing, Blackford; Elida, Wilson 2, Mathias 2, Stambaugh, Allemeier.

Holy gridiron, Batman! Is this crazy or what? No wonder the Southeastern Conference is so dominant when you consider some of these facts (and usually wonderful weather, except for this winter) and how hard it will be for other teams and leagues consider Ohio State and Michigan (please forgive me for writing that name out but its March!), for example, in the Big Ten to match that. Lets face it: we are not known for our great weather we dont surfer dudes and such in the Midwest during March! Even USC which is in a state that isnt far behind Florida and Texas as far as football talent goes might

have a hard time keeping up with these Joneses or Sabans and Miles, if you will. I, for one, hope that the OHSAA never seriously considers trying to let this go on. This item I caught the other day is one I hope ends up with a happy ending. Remember Richie Incognito? Of course you do. What, youve been sleeping under a rock lately? Anyhow, the former Miami Dolphins guard known more for his treatment of former teammate Johnathan Martin is himself receiving treatment for what was called exhaustion. Heres hoping that it is more than that and he really gets help to see his anger issues or whatever demons are plaguing him.

FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2014 Presentation and approach will be important this year. Not everyone you deal with will share your passions or methods. Having confidence in your abilities is commendable. Heavyhanded or forceful tactics will not win people over. If youre diplomatic, you will gain the support you require. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Deal with problems at home before they intensify. You could be in for a nasty surprise if you ignore the warning signs. Facing up to your responsibilities will help keep the peace. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont allow self-doubt to deter you from achieving progress. Diversifying your interests will increase the flow of opportunities coming your way. Being prepared will open doors to new possibilities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be receptive to suggestions regarding your employment prospects. Enthusiasm and resourcefulness will heighten your appeal. A change in your career could boost your income and your confidence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There are many interesting events happening around you. Get involved in as many as possible in order to broaden your horizons and make new friends. An unexpected benefit is likely. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will be offered interesting investment advice. Carry out the due diligence, but dont miss out on a great opportunity through unwonted hesitation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will have no problem convincing others to participate in a new venture. Your enthusiasm and energy will draw plenty of partners with wonderful, original ideas in tow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone with a grievance may be saying things behind your back. Refuse to get drawn into a trivial disagreement. Let your actions speak for themselves, and the matter will fix itself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is a favorable time to step into the spotlight. Demonstrate your expertise in a factual, knowledgeable and inspiring manner, and some appealing offers will come your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can reduce your expenses if you take a look at your budget. Factor in the amount you spend on transit, coffee or lunches. Point-of- sale purchases can leave you broke. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Dont make assumptions. Being demanding or pushy will aggravate the people around you. If youre thoughtful and sensitive, you will manage to get your way in the end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can make valuable connections if you accentuate your positive qualities to the right people. Take good care of your health to avoid exhaustion or a minor illness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Rekindle your connections with loved ones. Make plans that are sure to win favor. Be willing to compromise and work toward a common goal. Show patience, tolerance and good will. COPYRIGHT 2014 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Fines were also up $136.40 and the library received $600 in donations and memorials. The board also approved paying the $45 application for custodian Norb Renner to maintain his boiler license.

(Continued from page 1)

Chapman explained the village sustained an isolated power outage affecting the No. 3 well at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and customers on State Route 66 just north of town. The WWTP generator transferred power and the two lift station pumps at the plant tripped and had to be reset, Chapman said. Power was restored to the No. 3 well a week after the incident after American Electric Power (AEP) replaced two power poles that had fallen over. The street maintenance crew has been very busy repairing many main water line breaks with 19 so far this year. Chapman said he is working on a plan to identify water lines that have had several breaks in them over the last couple of years and all 4-inch water lines. The annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Formula grant application process is approaching and theres a chance we may be eligible for a decent-sized amount of funds, Chapman reported. I would like to target deficient water lines with these funds if they indeed are available to the village. In order to be eligible, the project service area must be low- to moderate-income (LMI). Chapman said in 2008, the village performed an income survey that deemed the community as LMI. The findings of the survey are only valid

for five years and another survey will have to be performed. If nothing else, we will need to perform isolated income surveys in the area we plan to make the improvements, he informed council. Towards the end of the year, Chapman will ask the Finance Committee to consider appropriating funds to purchase a new backhoe in 2015. Currently, we operate with a 1990 JCB backhoe and a 2006 JCB backhoe, he detailed. I am going to propose that we purchase one new backhoe and eliminate both of our current backhoes. He said he would propose deeming the old ones as surplus and sell them on GovDeals. The backhoe is probably our most important piece of equipment when it comes to day-to-day operations, Chapman said. I have not begun looking at costs; however, the 2006 model was purchased through the State Cooperative Purchasing Program for around $70,000. Council members suspended the rules and unanimously passed the Property Maintenance Assessments for calendar year 2013 on its first reading as an emergency. The ordinance assesses various property maintenance costs to those properties who did not comply with the PMC, Chapman said. There are six properties being assessed a total of $3,427 with the costs scheduled to be

paid over a two-year period which will likely begin the first part of 2015. Council approved paying the villages bills in the sum of $9,827. During the police report, Chief Darin Cook announced officer Rob Wiss, who was the in-house fire arms instructor, has resigned as a part-time officer. Cook would like to send Sergeant Kyle Miller to the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPATA) for fire arms training which will lead to Miller taking over as the in-house fire arms instructor. Officer Amy Geiger was promoted to staff sergeant and will assist Miller with paperwork and handling child abuse cases. In addition, Cook said it is time for the radios to be tweaked. Other than the cost of replacing the antenna at around $100, the balance of the expense will be paid for by the state. Mayor P. J. Johnson reported to council he has met with Huntington Bank representatives and discussed setting up a credit card payment option for residents to pay water bills. Johnson will present this information at the next council meeting. Council was given a copy of the notice that will be included with the April water bills notifying customers/residents of the change in collection addresses from Reliable Plumbing to in-house collections. A post office box will be established as the mailing address for the utility bills only.

Johnson and Chapman are working with WSOS Community Action Commission for the Moving Ohio Forward grant project. At this time there are a lot of unanswered questions concerning the process and obtaining releases for the properties the village wants to demolish. Johnson pointed out that if the grant is used, then only the costs that the village incurs for the demolition of the properties not the grant portion will be assessed to the property owners taxes; however, if the grant is not used, the entire amount the village invests will be assessed to the property owner. Council members discussed Millers Contracting property the old Trim Trends property which has erected a Go Green dumping sign at the site. Chief Cook told council he is concerned with improper dumping that may take place at the site. Chapman said he checked with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) and reported the use of the property is not in violation of any laws. Johnson said he will make contact with the owner and discuss the concern.
