Mini Relay for Life went
just as smoothly as past
years which, considering the
weather forecast and the fact
that it fell on Friday the 13th,
was a kind of miracle.

going into St. John’s. They
thought it was really cool to
go in there and see something
different from what they’re
used to. They enjoyed the
walking, too.”
This year’s Relay received
more help than in past years,
something that was appreci-
ated by both schools.
“We really want to thank
all of the parents and volun-
teers — from both schools,”
coordinator Melissa Myers

Delphos native sees

for Toledo Molding and Die

He now works as a lawyer for
a luxury car company, having
completed his doctorate of

He remembers the day of the
twisters in vivid detail:
“That day, I was to get my
bar exam results and I thought
that was going to be the most
exciting thing to happen that
day. I woke up pretty excited
but when I got to work, I saw
that a tornado had hit our plant

the one that hit later,” he said.

of course we have to thank the
principals — all of them.”
Although the children
loved the games, programs
and the walking, the best part
of the day for many was the
collaboration between the
two schools.
“The kids love seeing each
other,” Myers said. “A lot of
these kids play together dur-
ing the summer, playing ball
and swimming. That’s my
favorite part.”

added. “I really hope that it Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was devastated by tornadoes in

“While still at work, I got

it’s a storm shelter. We live

Man accused of
faking as Army
general in job
search
AKRON (AP) — A West
Virginia man charged with
trying to land a six-figure
job in Ohio by posing as
an Army general has been
indicted on 13 counts of wire
fraud and one count of mail
fraud.
The government
announced the federal
indictment against 56-year-
old Randall Keyser of
Barboursville, W.Va., on
Thursday.
Investigators say Keyser
defrauded an Akron devel-
opment company and one
of its subsidiaries, trying
to get hired as director of
construction by saying he
was commanding officer of
the Department of Defense’s
Joint Construction Command.
They say he posed as other
high-ranking military offi-
cers to give himself recom-
mendations via telephone.
Court records show
Keyser served one or two
years in the Army and was
discharged as a private.
He is being held with-
out bond. Phone and e-mail
messages seeking comment
from his attorney were not
immediately returned after
business hours Friday.

deputy death
LEBANON (AP) — A
man has been indicted on
a murder count on charg-

a southwest Ohio deputy
with a vehicle he was driv-

chase.
A grand jury on Friday
also indicted 22-year-old
Marcus Anthony Isreal on
one count each of involun-
tary manslaughter, aggra-
vated vehicular homicide,
receiving a stolen vehicle
and failure to comply. The
Warren County prosecutor
says the Middletown man
also was charged with two
counts each of felonious
assault and a weapons vio-

I sit and wonder every day
Why the Lord chose to call you away
I think he saw you needed rest
He only takes the very best.
Kenny Miehls

Peacefully sleeping, resting at last
His weary trials and troubles past,
In silence he suffered, in patience he bore,
Till God called him home to suffer no more.

This busy mom
didn’t have time for a
lengthy recovery.
Robotic hysterectomy was the answer.
When Jessica found herself in the emergency room with pain in her
left ovary, ultrasounds revealed she needed a total hysterectomy.
Her main concern, though, was not being able to care for her
11-year-old daughter.
At St. Rita’s Medical Center, doctors told Jessica about minimally
invasive robotic surgery. Using this
remarkable technique, surgeons
performed the delicate procedure
through much smaller incisions.
That not only meant less pain and scarring, but also a faster
recovery so Jessica could get back to being a mom.

Duer 2-hitter leads Raiders over Bearcats
By Kirk Dougal
Times Bulletin Editor
kdougal@times-
bulletin.com
CONVOY - Wayne
Trace had plenty of timely
hitting in their Division IV
sectional final game against
Spencerville on Friday after-
noon at Convoy but they did
not need much as pitcher
Ashton Duer was dominat-
ing on the mound, taking a
no-hitter into the seventh
inning as the Raiders beat the
Bearcats 6-1.
Wayne Trace will now
face Parkway 4:15 p.m.
Wednesday at Coldwater in
the district tournament.
In the top of the first,
Spencerville’s Garrett Croft
reached base with one out
when he was on by an error.
He was forced out on a field-
er’s choice a minute later
on a Levi Krouskop ground
ball and then Krouskop was
thrown out attempting to
steal.
Little did anyone realize
that was the last runner the
Bearcats would have until the
seventh inning.
Meanwhile, the Raiders
got untracked in the bottom
of the frame and unveiled
their theme for the game:
timely 2-out hitting. With
two gone, Duer singled down
the left field and Gage Critten
struck out on a curve ball
in the dirt. The ball skipped
away from the Spencerville
catcher, however, and Critten
reached first. Austin Speice
hit the first pitch he saw into
the left-center gap for a dou-
ble, scoring both Duer and
Critten and giving Wayne
Trace an early 2-0 lead.
In the second inning,
Raider Colby Speice walked
with one out, moved to sec-
ond and then third on two

Drivers ready for pressure-
packed Indianapolis 500
By MICHAEL MAROT
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — are up, schedules are getting tighter
Indianapolis 500 veterans are
used to working amid all the
May distractions.
They’ve never attended a
party quite like this.
With 40 drivers vying for
33 starting spots, they aren’t
just looking for a career-
defining moment May 29.
This year’s winner gets to
claim a little extra piece of
racing lore — the title of
champion at the 500’s centen-
nial celebration.
“At the 100-year anniversa-
ry, I do think the winner goes in
that same book as Ray Harroun
and it’s a great pressure to have.
I wouldn’t want it any other
way,” said Ryan Hunter-Reay,
the only American to win an
IndyCar race since April 2008.
“It’s part of history, part of
American history.”
There are few comparisons
to Indy in the sports world.
The Brickyard is racing’s
version of Wrigley Field
or Fenway Park and few of
America’s highest-profile sport-
ing events — the Kentucky
Derby, the Boston Marathon,
the World Series and the Rose
Bowl are on the short list —
started before the 500.
So when race organizers
decided to throw this anniversa-
ry bash, they left nothing out.
Practice opens today with a
classic car show. The 269 living
starters from previous 500s have
been invited to participate in the
world’s “largest autograph ses-
sion” May 28. Longtime track
announcer Tom Carnegie and
4-time winner A.J. Foyt will be
honored with their own special
days and Foyt, who Hunter-
Reay calls Mr. 500, will drive
the pace car. Organizers have
billed this the “most important
race in history.”
For drivers and teams, that’s
hype.
What’s real is the pressure
leading to this race.
“For me and most of the
people that work here, we’re
not going to see the 200th race,
so this race is very important,”
said Mike Hull, managing direc-
tor for Target Chip Ganassi.
“But I kind of look at the Indy
500 as the most important race
we’ll ever do, every year. If you
win the 100th race, you will
go down in some special book
somewhere, but in reality, win-
ning it is the most important.”
Hull knows.
His team has won three of
the last four 500s and will try
to put four drivers — defend-
ing champ Dario Franchitti,
2008 winner Scott Dixon and
budding American youngsters
Charlie Kimball and Graham
Rahal — in this year’s starting
field.
It’s not just the best teams,
hottest drivers or fan favor-
ites coming here with big story
lines.
Some drivers with limited
schedules or one-off deals are
hoping a solid performance this
month will give them a career
boost.
Paul Tracy will change teams
this month, the result of an
unusual combination of deals.
First, he signed with Dreyer &
Reinbold to run at Indy, then
he later signed a 5-race deal
to run for Dragon Racing, Jay
Penske’s team. Dragon Racing
has two other drivers in the
cockpit this month.
“Not being full-time, that
would play into the history
books, too, having a non-full
time guy win it,” said Dan
Wheldon, the 2005 Indy win-
ner and 2-time runner-up. “I
think it would probably have an
asterisk by it.”
Wheldon is making his sea-
son debut with Bryan Herta
Autosports this month.
Others are chasing a differ-
ent kind of history.
Brazil’s Helio Castroneves
could become the first foreign-
born 4-time race winner. Dario
Franchitti, of Scotland, is trying
to join Castroneves as the sec-
ond foreign-born 3-time win-
ner.
Among the eight rookies try-
ing to make the field are Ho-Pin
Tung, who can become the first
Chinese starter at Indy; Pippa
Mann, last year’s Freedom
100 pole-winner and the only
woman to ever sit on the pole at
Indy; Kimball, who is trying to
become the race’s first openly
diabetic driver in the field; and
Scott Speed, who can become
the first American to complete
Indy’s trifecta with starts in the
500, Brickyard 400 and U.S.
Grand Prix.
And there’s more angst for
drivers at the back of the field
than those at the front of the
pack.
“I lived through that (Bump
Day) once, fortunately, it was
only once,” 1986 winner Bobby
Rahal said. “You talk about
pressure for the team, for the
driver. It’s a very stressful time,
you’ve got to give it your best
shot and you’ve got to be pre-
pared to go back out. That’s
a lot of pressure for a whole
day.”
This year, it will be even
tougher.
Gone are the days of having a
starting spot virtually guaranteed if a
driver can avoid crashing.
Instead, the sudden boom in car-
driver combinations has included an
influx of sponsorship, many of those
companies counting on their cars
making the 33-car grid. Some drivers
acknowledge appearance requests
and free time is becoming sparse.
Former CART driver Townsend
Bell, who will drive Sam Schmidt’s
No. 99 car, believes that’s a good
sign.
“It’s not like you can look at the
list of drivers and say ‘Oh, there’s
so and so, he’s a waste and he
shouldn’t be out there anyway’,” he
said. “The more pressure, the more
that means it’s a big-time event and
a big-time sport and the more I feel
like the Indy 500 and IndyCar racing
is alive and well again. In the big
picture, that’s awesome.”
It also creates incredible tension
for drivers and crew members.
“I can already see it in my engi-
neer’s face,” Kimball said this week
before practice started. “If we can
go home Saturday (May 21) having
made the field, that will be a huge
relief.”
But for some team owners,
namely Ganassi, Roger Penske and
Michael Andretti, who employs three
young Americans in Hunter-Reay,
Marco Andretti and Danica Patrick,
it’s all about winning the 500.
And to have their names linked
alongside Harroun, the first race win-
ner, and Foyt, who won 50 years
ago, would be, well the ultimate cel-
ebration.
“It’s going to be huge and maybe
more important than any other
Indianapolis 500 to win,” said Ryan
Briscoe, one of Penske’s three driv-
ers. “I think to get it on the 100th
anniversary, it would only be fitting
for the winningest owner in history. I
think it would be perfect.”
Foyt excited to drive Indy 500
pace car: Foyt chuckled when he
thought about how much cars have
changed since he won the 1961
Indianapolis 500.
He’ll drive a 2011 Camaro SS
convertible pace car for the 100-
year anniversary race on May 29,
an upgrade from the ride he claimed
the first of his four Indy 500 victories
with.
“I’m quite sure 50 years ago, if
I would have had this car, it would
have been a hell of a lot better than
the one I drove,” he joked. “Probably
could have won and listened to the
radio.”
The 76-year-old Foyt might drive
faster this year, too. His average
speed in 1961 was 139.130 miles
per hour.
Foyt was asked to be the celeb-
rity pace-car driver when real-estate
mogul Donald Trump backed out to
focus on a possible presidential run
and amid complaints that his pres-
ence would take attention away from
the race itself.
Trump’s decision left Foyt, one of
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s
icons, with an unexpected opportu-
nity. Foyt, Rick Mears and Al Unser
are the only 4-time winners in race
history.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
President and CEO Jeff Belskus said
he is pleased to have Foyt lead the
way.
Foyt made a record 35 consecu-
tive starts in the 500 and this will be
the 54th consecutive year he’s com-
peted at the track as a driver or an
owner. A.J. Foyt Enterprises will try
to get Brazil’s Vitor Meira and Bruno
Junqueira into the race.
It’s the first time the speedway
has changed pace-car drivers since
2001, when injured golfer Greg
Norman could not drive. Race orga-
nizers replaced him with model Elaine
Irwin Mellencamp, wife of music star
John Cougar Mellencamp, and made
her the first female to drive the car.
Stewart, McGee to join Hall
of Fame: Jackie Stewart and Jim
McGee are the 2011 inductees into
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall
of Fame, the speedway announced
Thursday.
Stewart, from Scotland, was the
1966 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of
the Year. The 3-time Formula One
champion led the 1966 Indy 500 but
dropped out while leading with just
nine laps remaining. He was running
just behind Parnelli Jones and even-
tual winner A.J. Foyt in 1967 when
his engine failed at 168 laps.
McGee, a chief mechanic and
race strategist, has contributed to
more than 90 major open-wheel vic-
tories in the United States, including
four Indianapolis 500s.
The will be inducted May 26 at
the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown.
A panel of nearly 150 electors,
including Hall of Fame members,
drivers, journalists and officials, votes
annually for Hall of Fame inductees.

Smith says his Southern 500 victory
last week proves more than his skill
as a Sprint Cup driver. It shows a tiny
team from way out West can succeed
alongside NASCAR’s big boys.
Smith can’t count how often
he heard he was banging his head
against the wall — and ruining his
career — with Furniture Row Racing
of Denver, the only Sprint Cup team
west of the Mississippi River.
“Everybody said, ‘For how long?
You can’t race outside of Charlotte,
the 20-mile radius where all the
teams are. You can’t do it’,”
Smith recalled. “We’ve been
doing it every week.”
At Darlington Raceway,
Smith’s team did it better
than everyone else. He
moved up front with seven
laps left when he chose to stay out
on old tires instead of pitting for
fresh ones during a caution, then
outran Sprint Cup points leader Carl
Edwards in a green-white-checkered
finish for his first career victory.
Smith was a rookie driving for
Dale Earnhardt Inc. in 2008 when he
beat Tony Stewart at Talladega in
the fall. NASCAR, though, penalized
Smith for driving below the yellow
line and gave the win to Stewart.
After the season, Smith was out of
work despite being named the series’
rookie of the year and landed with
Furniture Row and owner Barney
Visser.
Smith found a home at the
one-car shop that believed it could
succeed nearly 1,600 miles from
NASCAR’s North Carolina hub.
It’s an unusual set-up, accord-
ing to team manager Joe Garone.
There’s a 35,000-square-foot garage
in Denver that’s home to 64 employ-
ees. There’s a “satellite” set up in
North Carolina — it’s the garage of
spotter Clayton Hughes — where a
Furniture Row hauler picks up chas-
sis, engines or whatever is needed
for the Colorado shop. The cars are
assembled in Denver.
Even a 1-car NASCAR team can’t
do it alone in the age of powerhouse
shops such as Hendrick Motorsports,
Roush-Fenway Racing and Joe
Gibbs Racing. Garone explained the
team relies on Stewart-Haas Racing
for help in the pits, Richard Childress
Racing for its chassis and Earnhardt-

power.
Smith wasn’t NASCAR’s first sur-
prise winner this season — 20-year-
old Trevor Bayne swiped the Daytona
500. But Bayne drove for the Wood
Brothers, a team draped in nearly 50
years of NASCAR tradition even if it
has struggled in recent seasons.
Smith and Furniture Row are true
outsiders.
For Smith, it has been a perfect
fit. The 27-year-old recalled his time
sending out proposals during the day
and running in the USAR Pro Cup
series at night, doing anything to get
noticed and move to the next level.
There are plenty of people in the
Sprint Cup garage, Smith says, who
dodged dozens of his calls: “I guess
the more doors get slammed in your
face, the thicker your skin is.”
Smith’s self-doubt didn’t stop
once he joined Furniture Row. He
didn’t have a top-10 finish in 54 races
in 2009 and 2010. Things began to
improve this season with a seventh-
place finish at the Daytona 500.
Smith gained momentum in the two
events leading up to Darlington by
running 15th at Talladega and 17th
at Richmond, his best finishes since
the season opener.
Smith says the breakthrough
win has changed his goals, as well
as those of the team. He’s in the
NASCAR Sprint Cup All-Star race at
Charlotte in two weeks. With anoth-
er win, he might even find himself
in line to make the Chase for the
Championship as a wild-card entry if
he can get himself up into the top 20.
He’s currently 27th.

Tomorrow’s Horoscope
Sunday, May 15, 2011
When it comes to your finances,
keep plugging during the next
year if you hope to better your
circumstances. You’ll still have to
toil, but Lady Luck will be pulling
for you, so keep an eye open for her
when you feel you need a break.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Regrettably, you might be placed in
an awkward situation where you’re
asked to do something on behalf
of a friend that goes against your
beliefs. Don’t be afraid to say no.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Someone who is close to you might
do something that works against
your best interests. Try not to make
a bigger deal out of it than it already
is -- it will only make matters
worse.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Your industrious spirit might be
strong, but the muscles you need to
do the work are likely to be weak.
Battle all you want, but chances are
your body won’t cooperate.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
That person who usually rubs you
the wrong way will be up to his or
her old tricks again, but instead of
getting angry, it behooves you to
avoid this person altogether. Spare
your emotions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- To your despair, you might
discover that a family member
has been spending far too wildly
lately causing you to be deprived of
something you want.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Harmony of purpose is always
essential in any joint arrangement.
If you and your colleague can’t see
eye-to-eye and neither will budge,
the relationship is destined to fail.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Should your responsibilities turn
out to be much heavier than usual,
instead of getting upset, try to
focus your mind on the end results.
Hopefully, things won’t look so
trying.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- If an opportunity arises that
enables you to improve a fractious
relationship, don’t be too angry
or frightened to take it. Some rifts
were made to be healed.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Even though its thrust might
be lessening, do what you can to
offset a disturbing influence that
has disrupted things on the home
front lately.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Don’t be provocative if you
encounter a person whose opinions
on a touchy matter greatly oppose
yours. If it is impossible for you
to be flexible, don’t let the subject
come up.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Stand up for your right to seek an
adjustment on a matter you recently
negotiated. It will be up to you to

10 – The Herald
Clementz
(Continued from page 1)
So, I drove 20 minutes to
the mall and by the time I
got there, all I saw was total
destruction.”
Naturally, Clementz
thought the worst as fear shot
down his spine and adrenaline
through his veins as he looked
for his daughter, Marley, and
former wife, Melissa.
“I thought the worst. I
thought I had lost my daugh-
ter. I thought there was no
way she could have survived.
It was so bad, things were still
falling out of the sky; people
were injured and the build-
ings across the street were
gone. Part of the mall was

untouched and I don’t remem-
ber much, but I remember
running in there yelling for
her — looking for her —
and found her unharmed in
the part of the mall that was
untouched,” he said.
Clementz said the severe
weather in Alabama that day
was nothing like he ever saw
in Ohio.
“I’ve never seen anything
like it. I remember the tor-
nado that came through Van
Wert and you’d see houses
that were untouched while
others were destroyed and
others were damaged. This
was nothing like that — this
was for miles. It never lift-
ed off the ground; it wiped
out entire neighborhoods. I
even saw a six-story concrete
block building in ruins,” he
said.
There had been a tornado
in his area the week before
and he was fortunate then,
too.
“My home was untouched
— we had a tornado come
though the neighborhood the
week prior and some homes
were damaged but mine
wasn’t then, either,” he said.
On April 27, tornados rav-
aged Alabama and neighbor-
ing Mississippi, Georgia and
Tennessee. Catastrophe mod-
eling firm AIR Worldwide
estimated the total damage to
be as much as $5.5 billion in
insured damages. The tornado
that tore through Tuscaloosa
was declared an EF4 by the
National Weather Service.
It’s winds were measured to
peak at 190 mph, just 10 mph
short of qualifying it as an
EF5, the strongest tornado
classification. The earlier
twister Clementz referenced
was an EF3.
Since the event, he
has seen his company get
involved in the community to
help those affected, including
the employees who lost their
homes.
He stresses that the
American Red Cross still
needs assistance. To help,
