Music City mourns country legend George Jones
AP Music Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) For a guy who
sang so many sad songs, George Jones left behind
a lot of laughs.
There was more humor than sadness at Jones
funeral Thursday at the Grand Ole Opry House as
thousands gathered in Nashville some arriving
hours before sunrise to pay their respects to the
man whose voice has defined country music for
more than half a century.
Friend after friend related stories of Jones kind-
ness, his love for his widow, Nancy, whos credited
with helping him survive his personal demons later
in life, and the funny little moments that will stick
with them always.
Barbara Mandrell remembered the kindnesses
he gave a scared 13-year-old girl just getting her
start in the business. Former first lady Laura Bush
remembered dumping quarter after quarter into the
jukebox to hear The Race Is On. Wynonna Judd
remembered his perfect hair and his friendship.
And Vince Gill remembered the man who gave him
the nickname Sweet Pea, a moniker he wasnt
sure he liked at first but now treasures.
The great thing is every time someone calls me
Sweet Pea, Ill get to think about him, Gill said
before earning a standing ovation for his rendition
of Go Rest High on That Mountain with Patty
Loveless.
The nearly 3-hour memorial was attended by
several major country stars and political figures.
Nancy Jones sat flanked by Bush and Garth
Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. Tennessee Gov. Bill
Haslam spoke, as did former Arkansas Gov. Mike
Huckabee. CBS host Bob Schieffer recalled a 2009
interview with Jones where the singers true per-
sonality seemed to show through.
I came away feeling his whole life was a sur-
prise to him and he never quite believed any of it,
Schieffer said.
Each of the stars who performed had a per-
sonal connection to Jones. Randy Travis, who was
anointed a traditional country voice by Jones, sang
Amazing Grace, a song Jones had once put his
own personal stamp upon.
When I heard him do this song, it literally gave
me chills, Travis said.
Paisley remembered Jones allowing him to
house his first horse on the Jones family farm and
the visits the two would have, then sang Me &
Jesus. Kid Rock asked Nancy Jones to imagine
Jones was actually singing as he performed Best
of Me, before checking himself to the delight of
the crowd.
I know thats a huge (leap of) imagination, Kid
Rock said with an embarrassed smile. Unshaven,
long-haired confused country hip-hop rock n
roller trying to sing George Jones.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
Ohio voters could decide
whether to legalize marijuana
and tax it like alcohol under
the latest attempt in the state
to ease access to the drug.
State Rep. Robert Hagan,
the proposals sponsor, says
revenue generated by a
15-percent state excise tax on
marijuana could help restore
cuts to public education and
local government.
The following individu-
als appeared before Judge
Charles Steele Wednesday in
Van Wert County Court of
Common Pleas:
Arraignment on Bill of
Information
Jonathan Maxwell, 26,
Oakwood, entered a plea of
guilty to a Bill of Information
filed by Assistant County
Prosecutor Martin Burchfield,
charging him with unlawful
possession of dangerous ordi-
nance, a felony of the fifth
degree.
The dourt ordered a pre-
sentence investigation and
scheduled sentencing for June
12.
Change of plea
Stephanie Farmer, 31,
Van Wert, changed her plea to
guilty to a charge of posses-
sion of drugs, a felony of the
fifth degree.
The court ordered a pre-
sentence investigation and
scheduled sentencing for June
12.
Probation violations
Glenn Duval, 38, of
Willshire, admitted to violat-
ing his probation by having
a positive drug test, failing to
report to probation and failing
to be honest with his proba-
tion officer.
He was re-sentenced to 3
year community control, with
the additional condition that
he serve 30 days in the county
jail.
Christopher Day, 40, Van
Wert, admitted to violating his
probation by consuming and
possessing alcoholic bever-
ages. He was re-sentenced to
3 years of community control,
with the additional condition
that he serve 30 days in the
county jail consecutive to the
Municipal Court sentenced
that he is currently serving.

Eddie Mox, the youngest mother attend-
ing the tea.
Nary an error marred the play
Thursday afternoon when Delphos
Jefferson took on the Gomer nine here
and won a tight 1-to-0 decision. It was
in the third inning that Jefferson scored.

such hitting. Jack Koch was on the
mound for Jefferson.

Today is Friday, May 3,
the 123rd day of 2013. There
are 242 days left in the year.
Todays Highlight in
History:
On May 3, 1973, Chicagos
110-story Sears Tower (now
the Willis Tower) was topped
out after two years of con-
struction, becoming the
worlds tallest building for
the next 25 years.
On this date:
In 1791, Poland adopted a
national constitution.
In 1802, Washington,
D.C., was incorporated as a
city.
In 1913, Clorox had its
beginnings as five entrepre-
neurs agreed to set up a liquid
bleach factory in Oakland,
Calif.
In 1916, Irish national-
ist Padraic Pearse and two
others were executed by the
British for their roles in the
Easter Rising.
In 1943, Pulitzer Prizes
were awarded to Thornton
Wilder for his play The Skin
of Our Teeth and Upton
Sinclair for Dragons Teeth.
In 1948, the Supreme
Court ruled that covenants
prohibiting the sale of real
estate to blacks or members
of other racial groups were
legally unenforceable.
In 1952, the Kentucky
Derby was televised nation-
ally for the first time on CBS;
the winner was Hill Gail.
In 1960, the Harvey
Schmidt-Tom Jones musi-
cal The Fantasticks began
a nearly 42-year run at
New Yorks Sullivan Street
Playhouse.
In 1971, the National
Public Radio program All
Things Considered made its
debut.
In 1979, Conservative
Party leader Margaret
Thatcher was chosen to
become Britains first female
prime minister as the Tories
ousted the incumbent Labor
government in parliamentary
elections.
In 1986, in NASAs first
post-Challenger launch, an
unmanned Delta rocket lost
power in its main engine
shortly after liftoff, forcing
safety officers to destroy it by
remote control.
Ten years ago: President
George W. Bush told a news
conference in Crawford,
Texas, it was a matter of
when not if weapons
of mass destruction would be
found in Iraq. Pope John Paul
II urged hundreds of thou-
sands of young people out-
side Madrid to be artisans
of peace. New Hampshire
awoke to find its granite
symbol of independence and
stubbornness, the Old Man
of the Mountain, had col-
lapsed into rubble. Funny
Cide rolled to victory in the
Kentucky Derby. Model and
actress Suzy Parker died in
Montecito, Calif.
Five years ago: Barack
Obama defeated Hillary
Rodham Clinton by seven
votes in the Guam Democratic
presidential caucuses, mean-
ing the candidates split the
pledged delegate votes. Big
Brown won the Kentucky
Derby by 4 3/4 lengths. (Filly
Eight Belles finished second
and then broke both front
ankles; she was euthanized
on the track.)
One year ago: U.S. offi-
cials published online a selec-
tion of letters from Osama
bin Ladens last hideaway;
the documents portrayed a
network that was weak, inept
and under siege and its
leader seemingly near wits
end about the passing of his
global jihads glory days.

Dem tries to
legalize pot
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
Ohio employers could see
$1 billion in cash rebates this
summer from the state insur-
ance fund for injured workers
under a proposal announced
Thursday.
About 210,000 businesses
and public employers could
see a payout in June or July,
should the board of direc-
tors at the Ohio Bureau of
Workers Compensation
approve the plan. Checks
could range from $5 to more
than $3 million.
Gov. John Kasich outlined
the proposal Thursday at a
T-shirt store in Columbus,
which could get a $4,000
rebate.
I would call this one of
the most significant econom-
ic stimulus measures that you
could see, Kasich said. I
think being able to give a
billion dollars in cash means
theres going to be a heck of
a lot more money floating
around inside the state of
Ohio, and it will be of signifi-
cant benefit to the employers,
particularly the small busi-
nesspeople.
Kasich said he was confi-
dent the board would sign off
on the idea, which is expect-
ed to be presented to them
this month.
Money for the one-time
rebate stems from solid
investments by the agency,
which provides workers
compensation insurance for
Ohio employers and covers
about two-thirds of the states
workforce. The agency said
its net assets have grown to
$8.3 billion.
The rebate is separate
from a court dispute over
employer payments.
The state is appealing
a judges March decision
awarding $860 million in
repayments from the fund
to employers the judge says
were charged excessive pre-
miums for nearly a decade.
Thursdays announcement
drew criticism from a group
representing the workers in
the lawsuit.
Now is the time for the
administration and the Bureau
to recognize that it continues
to hold on to another $860
million that was illegally
charged to 270,000 employ-
ers and comply with the court
order to repay those funds,
Earl Stein, president of Pay
Us Back Ohio BWC Inc.,
said in a statement. Stein is
also a plaintiff in the class-
action lawsuit.
Steve Buehrer, the
bureaus administrator and
CEO, told reporters the
money involved in the law-
suit has been set aside. And,
he said, We believe our
arguments are just, and well
continue appeals as long as
we feel fit.
Under Kasichs pro-
posal, the bureau would
also increase the amount of
money for safety grants to
$15 million from $5 million.
The bureaus grant program
provides matching funds to
employers who purchase
equipment to reduce injuries
or illnesses on the job.
In addition, the bureau
is asking the Legislature to
approve an overhaul how
it bills its employers. And
the agency says the changes
would result in rate cuts of 2
percent for private employ-
ers and 4 percent for public
employers.
Employers currently pay
their workers compensa-
tion premium for the previ-
ous six months of coverage.
The agency wants to move
to prospective billing, so it
can collect employer premi-
ums for an upcoming period.

Inside the soul of Jackie Robinson
Brooklyn Dodgers general manager
Branch Rickey knew that the frst black
player in Major League Baseball was go-
ing to go through hell.
Thats why the cigar-chomping, Bible-
thumping Rickey set out to fnd a man
who would keep believing -- when fac-
ing bitter, scathing racial hatred -- that the
powers of heaven were on his side. As
baseball writers have often noted, Rickey
needed someone who could turn the other
cheek, as well as turn a double play.
In writer-director Brian Helgelands
new epic, 42, Jackie Robinson states
the challenge in blunt terms.
You want a man, Robinson asks,
who doesnt have the guts to fght back?
Rickey replies: I want a man who has
the guts NOT to fght back.
The ft was perfect. In Helgelands
script, Rickey offers this churchy equa-
tion: Robinsons a Methodist. Im a
Methodist. Gods a Methodist. We cant
go wrong.
Thats the stuff of movies, alright, but
this kind of faith reference remains some-
what unusual in a Hollywood blockbuster,
acknowledged Eric Metaxas, who is best
known for writing the global bestseller
Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet,
Spy. The problem, he said, is that 42
omitted many other details that would
have demonstrated that faith was crucial
to the whole story.
Theres no doubt that Robinson was a
remarkable man, argues Metaxas in his
new Seven Men: And the Secret of Their
Greatness. But Robinson was also a re-
markably courageous and truly devout
Christian man. Thus, he included Rob-
insons story in a book that explores the
faith commitments of George Washing-
ton, William Wilberforce, Eric Liddell,
Pope John Paul II, Chuck Colson and Di-
etrich Bonhoeffer.
In the classic Chariots of Fire, which
won the Oscar for Best Picture, the Olym-
pic runner and future missionary Liddell
is repeatedly shown preaching, parsing
scripture and discussing the beliefs that
led to his pivotal decision not to run in
Sunday races at the 1924 Olympics in
Paris. Try to imagine that movie without
those scenes, noted Metaxas in a tele-
phone interview.
The key 42 scene -- when Robinson
meets Rickey on Aug. 28, 1945 -- could
have shown that the Dodgers leader pulled
out a classic devotional work: Life of
Christ by Giovanni Papini. Rickey read
aloud the passage in which the author dis-
cusses the Sermon on the Mount, includ-
ing the reference that describes the turn
the other cheek challenge as the most
stupefying of the revolutionary teach-
ings of Jesus.
It wouldnt have taken long to read
the scripture that so inspired Rickey and
Robinson, said Metaxas. The Gospel of
St. Matthew states:
Ye have heard it hath been said, An
eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But
I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: But
whosoever shall smite thee on thy right
cheek, turn to him the other also.
The reason, quite literally, that Rickey
chose Jackie Robinson was his strong
moral character and his Christian faith,
said Metaxas. There were other great
black players out there. But could they
have taken the stand that Jackie took? ...
That frst meeting is the moment. That
scene is the heart of this story and Jesus is
right there in the middle of it.
It would have been wonderful if 42
had also noted the strong faith of Rob-
insons mother, Mallie. Then there was
a crucial Methodist mentor named Karl
Downs who taught the great ballplayer
that obeying the command to resist not
evil was not cowardly, but heroic, said
Metaxas.
But movies are movies and, often,
what matters the most are the visual im-
ages. Thus, its crucial that Helgeland
didnt include scenes in which Robinson
is shown doing what he repeatedly said
that he did day after day in those tense
early years in the major leagues -- getting
down on his knees, praying for strength
and patience.
Im not saying that this is a horrible
movie, stressed Metaxas. Yes, Rob-
inson is shown closing his eyes for 0.87
seconds before he runs out onto the feld
and hes hit by the occasional inspiration-
al ray of sunlight. ... But why are people
afraid of showing a true American hero
getting down on his knees and praying?
Whats so scary about that?
Its like people think that prayer is
a sign of weakness. Well, getting down
on his knees didnt make Jackie Robin-
son weak. Thats what helped make him
strong.

April showers
If it is true that April showers bring May
flowers, then we are in for a doozy of an
allergy season. Judging by the number of
kids I have been seeing already this allergy
season, I would say it is time for parents to
be prepared.
Allergies have a way of turning a beauti-
ful sunny day into a miserable afternoon and
a happy adventurer into a cranky homebody.
Seasonal allergies can affect your childs
sleeping patterns, eating patterns and their
personalities.
Fortunately, the treatment of allergies has
come a long way since I was a kid (what
hasnt, once they invented that wheel, things
have just been humming along). I remember
that my sister used to hate summer because
it brought the beginning of hayfever season.
The only allergy medicine available was
Benadryl and your only option was to be
drowsy all the time or live with being con-
gested. She spent the whole summer with
a cold washcloth over her nose because it
helped her breath easier.
Things are much better now. Now you just
have to know what symptoms you are trying
to relieve and whether they are truly caused
by an allergy. The most common symptoms
to watch for are congestion, runny nose,
cough and sneezing. A fever is not typical of
allergy symptoms and should be evaluated
by your doctor if it persists for longer than 48
hours or if the child seems ill or is refusing
to eat. Pink, watery eyes can also occur with
allergies, but you should see a doctor to rule
out bacterial conjunctivitis before assuming
that the symptoms are just allergy related.
Pain is not generally an allergy symptom,
although early morning sore throats, fullness
or throbbing over the forehead and around
the eyes, or mild nausea may be part of aller-
gies. If the pain is severe or very persistent
it could indicate something other than aller-
gies.
Once you are sure that you are probably
dealing with allergy symptoms, there are
many over-the-counter medications (such as
Zyrtec, Claritin, and Allegra) that are very
successful at treating common allergy symp-
toms and can be used safely for kids who are
over the age of 6 years old. Children who
are under 6 years of age who dont seem to
respond to these medications or who seem to
be getting worse may need to see their doctor
for additional tests or medications.
There are also non-medicinal ways to
help your child with allergies. It helps to use
saline drops or nasal rinses to help clear the
nasal passages, cool compresses are often
very soothing for itchy dry eyes and a moist
air humidifier prevents drying of the nasal
passages. It is also very important to eat a
well rounded diet, take a vitamin supple-
ment that includes vitamin C, B complexes,
and Omega-3, and drink plenty of water.
Hopefully, these recommendations can help
your child stop and smell the flowers this
summer, and not come home sneezing the
blues.

moved her practice, Wishing Well Pediatrics,

old son.

Lady Bulldogs pounce on Jeffcats
DELPHOS Bobbi Heckel improved
her pitching mark to 9-4 and her Columbus
Grove fast-pitch softball teammates provided
plenty of support, grabbing a 13-1 5-inning
Northwest Conference rout Thursday night at
Lady Wildcat Field.
Our bats have been starting to come
around. We put up a lot of runs last night
(Wednesday) against LCC; we just didnt
score today, Jefferson head man Josiah
Stober said. We hit the ball well today but a
lot of times, especially on the harder-hit ones,
they were right at their defenders.
Hannah Sensibaugh (0-2) took the loss for
the Lady Wildcats (0-10, 0-5 NWC).
Defensively, we struggled a bit today.
Weve got some new faces in the lineup at dif-
ferent spots, which you then expect to strug-
gle, Stober added. However, I thought that
despite that, we played pretty good defense.
We just have to get more comfortable.
Monica Delgado led the visitors with a
3-for-4 day at the plate, including two doubles
and a 3-bagger.
Fallon Van Dyke was 2-for-3 for the
Wildcats.
Jefferson hosts Paulding in an NWC con-
test today (5 p.m.). Grove visits Pandora-
Gilboa.

SPORTS
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Columbus Grove got
the bats out early and often at Wildcat
Field in Delphos.
They compiled 15 hits and run-ruled
host Jefferson 14-3 in six innings in
Northwest Conference baseball action
on a pleasant Thursday afternoon.
They were hitting bullets all over
the field. They are a nice hitting team,
Jefferson head man Doug Geary noted.
We werent booting the ball all over the
place, thats for sure. Give them credit
for their offense.
Trey Roney (4-1) went the 6-inning
complete game for the victors (14-2,
4-0 NWC), tossing 92 pitches (69 for
strikes).
Trey isnt a hard thrower but he is a
cerebral player; he knows how to pitch,
Grove mentor Cory King said. He
changes speeds very well and mixes his
pitches up well, moving them around the
plate. He made a couple of mistakes
one a ball chest-high to (Zavier) Buzard
but not many.
The Bulldogs got rolling right off the
bat against Jefferson starter Zach Ricker
(3-2) with two runs in the top of the first
on an error and three hits, including a
run-producing (Blake Huffman, 2-for-5)
knock to center by Matt Jay (3-for-4,
2 runs batted in), and a sacrifice fly
by Roney (3-for-4, 4 RBIs), bringing
in Brandon Benroth (2-for-5, 2 runs, 2
RBIs).
Delphos (13-7, 2-4 NWC) retaliated
for one in the home half on an error and
two hits, including a run-coring single to
center by Zach Kimmett (plating Ross
Thompson), for a 2-1 deficit.
The visitors tacked on two more in
the second on a walk to Josh Verhoff (3
walks, 3 runs), a run-scoring double by
Trent Vorst and an RBI single by Mason
Smith (3-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs) for a 4-1
lead.
Grove made it 5-1 in the third, chas-
ing Ricker for Jordan Herron, compiling
two hits and two walks, including a bas-
es-loaded one to Verhoff, plating Roney.
Grove made it 6-1 in the fourth on
a 1-out double by Jay and an RBI line
single by Roney.
The Wildcats rallied with a pair in
their half of the frame with two hits, the
second a 2-run bomb over the 345-foot
mark in left field by Zavier Buzard that
also scored Herron, to get within 6-3. It
became 8-3 in the Bulldog half of the
fifth on a free pass and three singles,
the latter two from Benroth (scoring
Verhoff) and Jay (Smith).
Jefferson had a pair of hits in the fifth
but Herron got picked off first base by
Jay to end the threat.
The visitors added their final six
tallies in the sixth, chasing Herron (for
Thompson) and sending 11 batters to
the dish. An error was part of it, as was
a walk, a hit batter and four hits. The
big blows were a 2-run rip up the gut
by Smith (pinch-runner Logan Diller
and Verhoff), along with a 2-run liner
by Roney (Smith and Benroth), to make
it 14-3.
When Roney retired the side in the
Delphos sixth, the game was over. Both
coaches figured that the count was key
for both sides.
Zach was behind in the count from
the start and now it becomes a hitters
count. You cant fall behind good-hitting
teams, Geary added. We hit the ball
well, too; we just couldnt keep up with
them. We had a good number of hits and
even had some bad luck because a few
were hit hard but right at them.
King agreed.
Bulldogs rout Wildcats in conference baseball battle
Staff reports
DELPHOS New Knoxville got
a 3-run home run by Meyer in the
top of the fifth inning to grab a 6-3
lead and held on for a 6-5 Midwest
Athletic Conference triumph over
host St. Johns Thursday at Stadium
Park.
The Blue Jays (4-11, 1-4 MAC)
out-hit the Rangers 11-10 but left 13
runners on base.
We hit the ball well; weve been
coming around there. Were put-
ting ourselves in position to score,
Jays coach Ryan Warnecke said.
However, we didnt come up with
the clutch hit in the big situations.
That is something we have to get bet-
ter at doing.
However, five errors on the defen-
sive side made things tough for start-
er Troy Warnecke and reliever Drew
Wagner.
Its starting to become an issue.
We made one step forward and go
back two more, the coach added.
Its hard to get out there on the
mound when youre unsure of those
behind you making plays. Its not that
were not fielding the ball we are;
were just throwing the ball all over
the field. Its a lack of concentration;
its more mental now.
St. Johns hits the road to New
Bremen 5 p.m. today for another
MAC encounter.
Jays lose heartbreaker to Rangers
Drew Wagner came in on relief for the final 2 innings Thursday afternoon
and gave St. Johns a chance by holding New Knoxville scoreless. However,
the Rangers escaped Stadium Park with a 6-5 victory. (Delphos Herald/Tom

MIDDLE POINT - In a well-played game between two
hard-hitting teams, the Lincolnview defense was the difference
in a 7-3 fast-pitch win over Allen East Thursday afternoon.
The Lady Lancers are now 11-2 overall, 4-1 in the Northwest
Conference. The Lady Mustangs are 11-7 and 2-4.
Lincolnview jumped on Mustang starter Aubrin Davis for
three runs in the top of the first. Centerfielder Jodie Doner
poked a single to right center to start the inning. Autumn
Proctor followed with an unusual at-bat. Proctor fouled off
two bunt attempts from the left side, then switched to the right
side of the plate and blasted a homer off the scoreboard in left
center, the first round-tripper of her career.
Proctors blast disabled the scoreboard until it came to life
in the fifth inning. Leftfielder Devan Springer was hit by a
pitch and third baseman Kelsey Mohr plated Springer with a
double to the gap in right center to make it 3-0 after one inning.
The Lancers added another run in the third. With one out,
second baseman Kaitlyn Brant and Springer were each hit by
Davis pitches. Shortstop Bailey Neate roped a double into the
gap in left center, scoring Brant.
Mustang shortstop Kayce Rowe started the fourth inning
by blasting a long homer to dead center to narrow the gap to
4-1 but Lincolnview came right back in the bottom half with
two tallies.
First baseman Macey Ashbaugh started the inning with a
walk, then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Davis fanned
the next batter but Doner blooped an opposite-field single to
right, putting runners on the corners. Doner then took second
without a throw. Proctor bounced to shortstop Rowe who threw
home, nailing Ashbaugh, the play ending with Doner on third
and Proctor on second. Brants frozen-rope single hit the fence
in left center, bringing in Doner and Proctor to make it 6-1,
Lancers, after four.
Allen East made it interesting in the top of the sixth, scoring
twice on a walk, hit batter and 2-run double by centerfielder
Kylie Wyss.

Lady Knights rebound

nicely from loss
By BRIAN BASSETT

CONVOY - After suffer-
ing a tough loss at the hands
of Bath on Wednesday, the
Crestview Lady Knight soft-
ball team needed to rebound
with a solid performance
against Ada Thursday at the
Crestview Athletic Complex.
Junior pitcher Kirstin
Hicks made sure that was the
case, hurling a 1-hit shutout
to lead Crestview to a 5-0
Northwest Conference win.
Hicks struck out six in
six innings and walked a
pair. Junior pitcher Courtney
Grote added one shutout
inning of relief.
Offensively, the Knights
struck right away. Junior
third baseman Brooke Bowen
opened the game with a sin-
gle. Bowen then stole second
and score on an RBI single
by Hicks.
The Crestview (11-7, 6-0)
bats went cold in the sec-
ond due in large part to the
pitching of Ada hurler Alexis
Amburgey.
The Lady Knight offense
went back to work in the
home fourth, howev-
er. Sophomore shortstop
Mackenzie Riggenbach
singled and Hicks followed
suit. The pair moved up on
a passed ball and both came
in to score when freshman
Haley Helm ripped a 2-run
single. Helm then scored on
an RBI single from senior
leftfielder Mariah Henry to
give Crestview a 4-0 advan-
tage.
Bowen singled to open the
bottom of the fifth and came
around to score on a single
by sophomore first baseman
Terra Crowle for the final
run of the game, making the
score 5-0.
That was big. It was nice
to come back tonight after
last nights poor performance
and get a few things accom-
plished, said Lady Knight
head coach Owen Pugh. We
made some base-running
mistakes tonight that weve
got to make sure to take care
of. You just cant do those
types of things with the tour-
nament coming up.
Hicks helped her cause by
going 2-for-2 at the plate with
a walk, a run and an RBI.
Bowen was 2-for-3 with two
runs scored and Helms two
RBIs led the team.
Ada (2-10, 0-6) was led
at the plate by rightfielder
Cosette Brodeur, who went
1-for-2 with their only hit.
First baseman Samantha
Wildman broke up a perfect
game bid by Hicks with none
out in the fifth when she drew
a walk. Quinn High walked
with one out in the fifth for
the only other base-running
opportunity for Ada.
Despite taking the loss,
Amburgey was a bright spot
for the Lady Bulldogs. She
went all six innings, allow-
ing five earned runs on nine
hits, while walking three and
striking out none. The most
impressive stat for Amburgey
was the seven Crestview base
runners she left stranded.
The Lady Knights return
to the diamond Saturday
when they travel to St. Marys
to take on the Roughriders.
Pugh explained that the more
experience the team can get
by the tournament, the better.
I really think we thought
we would be a little bit better
than we are right now, Pugh
added. Im glad that weve
got another four games or so
before tournament. Hopefully
well get another week of
good weather. We need all the
practice and game experience
that we can get going into the
tournament. We cant afford
to make the mistakes weve
been making the last couple
of games.

Trey was throwing a lot of first-pitch strikes and
now, they have to hit his pitch; he can even make them
chase more and they hit a lot of fly balls, King added.
We showed a lot of discipline at the plate and we were
rewarded. We needed it, too; weve been struggling
putting up runs and we broke out today.

Doner provided an insurance run
in the bottom half by smoking a liner
over the fence in dead center for the
first homer of her 4-year career.
Lancer hurler Ashley McClure
went the distance, giving up the
three runs, all earned, on five hits,
while striking out five, walking
only one and hitting one batter. She
threw 101 pitches, 63 of which were
strikes. She was aided by stellar
defensive play from her infielders
and outfielders, getting particularly
outstanding catches by Doner and
Springer.
Lincolnview coach Kent McClure
was an understandably happy man
afterwards. I love speed in the
outfield. The girls absolutely cover
the ground. I cant remember our
defense ever being this good. We
knew they could hit. Theyre a very
good offensive team. Ashley shut
them down pretty well, changing
location, in and out, mixing the off-
speed in, fast ball up. They had some
good hits on the ball but defensively,
the infield made some nice plays.
Id put my middle infield (Neate and
Brant) against a lot of people.
Doner also led Lincolnview
hitters, going 3-for-4, including a
homer, scoring once and driving
in one. Proctor was 1-for-3 with a
homer, scoring twice and driving in
two. Brant was 1-for-3, scored one
and driving in two. Neate and Mohr
had identical stat lines 1-for-3
with a double and one RBI.
For the Lady Mustangs, Rowe
went 1-for-3 with a homer, scored
once and drove in one. Wyss was
1-for-3 with a double and drove in
two.
Davis took the loss, throwing
3.2 innings, yielding six runs, all
earned, on seven hits, striking out
three, walking one and hitting three
batters.
Rowe relieved and pitched the
remaining 2.1 innings, giving up one
run, earned, on one hit, walking one
and striking out one.

Kyle Williams (1-1) took the loss
for the Lancers (5-10, 2-4 NWC).
Kyle did a good job for us on the
mound again and we just couldnt get
a win for him. We continue to play
fairly well on defense, Lincolnview
coach Kevin Longstreth noted. We
need to continue to develop at the
plate. We have taken enough reps
and played enough games for us to
be better hitters than we are show-
ing.

The Delphos Herald
LEIPSIC Solid pitching and
clutch hitting sent the Kalida Lady
Wildcat fast-pitch unit to their sec-
ond Putnam County League victory
of the season as they blanked the
Leipsic Lady Vikings 11-0.
Emily Schnipke gave up just
two hits in the game and retired the
first six batters of the game on just
15 pitches.
Summer Holtkamp reached base
four of the five times she came
to the plate (2 walks) and added
five stolen bases; the senior even
turned around to bat right-handed
and dropped a bunt down the first-
base line.
Kayla Siefker had a single and
scored three times in four at-bats.
Lanie Laudick contributed to the
rout with a 2-for-3 performance
with a pair of runs batted in.
Kendra Gerten and Emily
Ellerbrock had the lone hits for the
hosts.
The Wildcats got the scoring
started in the first inning, sending
eight batters to the plate. Nicole
Recker started out the inning with a
single but was erased on a fielders
choice by Holtkamp. Holtkamp
stole second and third and came
in to score on a Kaylyn Verhoff
single. Siefker, Schnipke and Lanie
Laudick delivered consecutive hits,
Schnipke singling home a run and
Siefker scoring on an error. Leipsic
pitcher Jada Lopez got Whitney
Smith to ground out for the final
out of the inning.
In the top of the third, for the
second time the guests, plated three
more runs. Siefker was hit by a
pitch to lead things off, followed
by a Laudick single and a Schnipke
free pass to load the bases. The
numbers eight and nine hitters in
the Wildcat lineup delivered the
next two runs: Whitney Smith and
Andrea Bellman hit into fielders
choices; while Schnipke came in
to score when Recker reached on
an error by the Leipsic outfield to
make it a 6-0 contest.
The Vikings got a baserunner
in their half of the third but a great
play by Siefker to double-up Paige
Sakemiller sent the home team
down with the minimum number
of batters in the inning.
Kalida led the fourth off with
an Amy Smith single and thanks
to a Siefker walk and a 2-run error
on the home team off a ball hit by
Laudick, it was an 8-0 contest after
four.
The LadyCats added one more
in the fifth on a Holtkamp right-
handed bunt, a steal of second and a
misplayed grounder hit by Verhoff,
making it a 9-0 score headed to the
bottom of the fifth.
Schnipke delivered another
1-2-3 inning in the bottom half.
Kalida added two more runs in
the top of the sixth, again after two
batters were out. Skylar Basinger
led the inning off with a walk and
scored after a stolen base and a
base hit by Whitney Smith. Three
batters later, Holtkamp singled
home Recker, making the score
11-0 in favor of the guests.
Leipsic got a single in the sixth
but Schnipke struck out Sakemiller
to end the game in a run-rule vic-
tory.

Answer to Puzzle
DEAR DOCTOR K: I suffered
through years of unexplained
gastrointestinal discomfort. My
doctor finally diagnosed me with
celiac disease. What do I need to
know?
DEAR READER: Celiac disease
is an autoimmune disorder that
were just beginning to understand.
Weve known for a long time that
the trigger that sets off symptoms in
celiac disease is gluten. Gluten is an
umbrella term for the proteins found
in wheat, barley and rye.
In people with celiac disease,
gluten triggers an immune reaction
that causes inflammation of the
lining of the small intestine. Left
untreated, celiac disease can lead
to severe malnutrition. It can put
you at risk of serious consequences,
including osteoporosis, anemia,
infertility, neuropathy (damaged
nerves) and seizures. It can produce
such profound diarrhea that if celiac
sufferers dont get massive amounts
of new fluids into their bodies
quickly, they can become severely
dehydrated, their blood pressure can
collapse and they can die.
Some of the symptoms and signs
of celiac disease include:
-- gas
-- bloating
-- abdominal cramps
-- diarrhea
-- foul-smelling stools
-- fatigue
-- weight loss
-- canker sores
-- balance and gait problems
-- osteoporosis
-- iron deficiency with anemia
Celiac disease will cause
symptoms as long as you continue
to eat gluten. Treatment means
following a strict gluten-free diet.
This will allow your intestines to heal
and your disease to be controlled.
Any exposure to gluten can trigger
a recurrence of symptoms.
Fortunately, food labels
increasingly indicate the presence
of gluten, which makes it easier
to avoid gluten-containing foods.
(Ive put a detailed list of dos and
donts for gluten-free eating on my
website, AskDoctorK.com.)
A gluten-restricted diet can be
challenging, so consider consulting
a registered dietitian. Choose one
who is knowledgeable about celiac
disease. He or she can ensure
that your diet contains adequate
nutrients, calories, fiber and
variety.
You also need to avoid cross-
contamination, which happens when
a gluten-free product comes into
contact with something that is not
gluten-free.
Foods and beverages arent the
whole story, either. Medications
(both prescription and over-the-
counter) as well as vitamins,
minerals and other supplements
often contain gluten. A pharmacist
can tell you which medications
contain gluten and advise you on
gluten-free alternatives. Gluten
is also found in some personal-
care products, including lipstick,
toothpaste and mouthwash -- even
the glue on envelopes.
This may all sound a little
overwhelming, but take heart. As
long as you follow a gluten-free diet,
you will be able to lead a normal life
with no further symptoms.
There also is increasing evidence
that some people have gluten
insensitivity but dont have full
celiac disease. They, too, feel much
better on gluten-free diets. Well talk
more about this in future columns.

Wife hurt over
husbands
ultimatum
Dear Annie: My hus-
band and I have a blended
family with his two girls
and my three sons. I am so
grateful that we both took
on this challenge.
We had some good times,
and we had some bad times,
and when I say bad, I mean
horrible. Our children are
all adults now, and we are
still butting heads
over them, most-
ly my boys. He
has given up on
two of my sons
because he says
they dont respect
him, not to men-
tion some less
than legal activity
they decided to
embark on in our
home while we
were on vacation.
But, Annie, I
feel as if he has never re-
ally cared for them. I try to
help them with rides or let-
ting them wash clothes at
our house or whatever I can
do. People mature at dif-
ferent levels, and maybe I
help too much, but they are
my kids. At what point am I
supposed to turn my back on
them? My husband says that
because I help them against
his wishes, it means I love
them more than him. That
isnt true.
One son is homeless and
has to look for a place to stay
every night. That breaks my
heart. My husband found
him downstairs sleeping
one morning and told me
that Id better get him out or
he would call the police. He
wont even allow me to let
my son shower here.
I realize the boys need to
make it on their own, but am I
supposed to turn my back on
them when they need help?
At what point do you give
up on your kids and choose
your husband instead? I feel
like such a horrible mom.
Worried for Them
Dear Worried: Your
husband should not be is-
suing ultimatums wherein
you must choose between
the man you love and the
children you love. This is
unfair and creates tremen-
dous resentment. Your hus-
band may have good cause
to want the kids out of the
house, but its diffcult to do
when they have no place to
go. How old are they? Do
they have jobs? Would you
temporarily assist with their
rent if it got them out of the
house? Are there substance-
abuse issues that need treat-
ment? Try Because I Love
You (bily.org), and ask your
husband to work with you
on this.
Dear Annie: I am one
of fve siblings. My brother
was married last fall in a
small ceremony that was
put together quickly so my
mother could be there be-
fore she died. He is having
a celebration of his marriage
later this summer, and the
party is being held in an-
other state on the day before
my wedding anniversary.
My brothers party would
require travel, hotel and
meals. My husband and I
have already booked (and
paid for) a nonre-
fundable weekend
getaway and made
arrangements with
his parents to watch
our kids. We did
this three months
before my brother
sent out his save-
the-date cards.
How do I break
the news to my
brother? I should
add that I am rare-
ly included in any-
thing the rest of the family
does, and I worry that if I
miss this event, I will nev-
er be included in anything
again. Little Sis
Dear Sis: Call your
brother and let him know
you have a confict. Tell him
you are heartbroken to miss
his party and wish you could
fnd a way out of your non-
refundable reservations, but
its not possible. Then send
him a lovely wedding gift to
make up for your absence.
These things happen. Theres
nothing more you can do.
Dear Annie: This is for
N.N., whose husband is
depressed. Please tell her to
have him tested for celiac
disease. Depression is one
of the symptoms.
My husband was de-
pressed for a long period of
time and even threatened to
take his life. We were fnal-
ly able to determine that he
had celiac disease. Doctors
are not that familiar with the
symptoms. Betty

Prosecutor calls Jodi Arias a manipulative liar
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) The prosecutor pound-
ed his hand on the table to make his point and
alternated between a loud demeanor and a
soft-spoken, cordial tone as he told the jury
time and time again: Jodi Arias is a manipula-
tive liar and a killer.
The dramatic closing argument by pros-
ecutor Juan Martinez came as family mem-
bers of the victim sobbed in the front row and
an unemotional Arias meticulously scribbled
notes with a pencil. People lined up at 2 a.m.
to get a seat in the courtroom for the spectacle
with only two rows in the gallery available
for the public.
Its like a field of lies that has sprouted up
around her as she sat on the witness stand,
Martinez said of Arias, who previously spent
18 days testifying. Every time she spat
something out, another lie.
Arias, 32, is charged with first-degree
murder in the 2008 stabbing and shoot-
ing death of her on-and-off-again boyfriend
Travis Alexander in a case that has become a
tabloid and cable TV sensation.
Authorities say Arias planned the attack on
Alexander in a jealous rage after he wanted
to end their relationship and prepared for a
trip to Mexico with another woman. Arias
initially denied any involvement in the killing
then later blamed it on masked intruders. Two
years after her arrest, she said she killed him
in self-defense. Her lawyers will present their
closing arguments Friday.
This is an individual who will stop at
nothing, and who will continue to be manipu-
lative and will lie at every turn, Martinez
said.
Arias showed very little emotion during
the closing arguments, scribbling notes most
of the time. At one point, she displayed a
smirk as Martinez described her apparently
faking an orgasm on a phone sex chat with
her former lover, and gently shook her head
on another occasion. Alexanders sisters and
other family members cried at various points,
dabbing their tears with tissues.
The judge earlier provided instructions
to jurors that allowed them to consider the
lesser charge of manslaughter, along with
first-degree and second-degree murder. That
means the jury will essentially have four
choices: first-degree murder, second-degree
murder, manslaughter or acquittal.
A first-degree conviction could lead to
a death sentence and requires the jury to
believe it was a premeditated act. The basic
standard for second-degree murder is that
the defendant intentionally caused the death
of another person, largely in the heat of the
moment without prior planning, and car-
ries a sentence of up to 25 years in prison.
Manslaughter has a much lower standard and
potential sentence.
Martinez worked to build his first-degree
murder case by providing examples in which
he says Arias planned out her attack weeks
in advance. He said she stole the .25 -caliber
gun used in the attack from her grandpar-
ents home where she was staying in Yreka,
Calif., two days after a heated text-message
exchange between Arias and Alexander. In
that exchange, Alexander described her as a
sociopath and evil.
How absolutely prophetic, Martinez
said.
He said she rented a car at an airport in
Northern California for her road trip that
included a visit to Alexander at his home in
Arizona where she killed him. Martinez noted
that the rental car agent offered her a red car,
but she refused because she thought that color
might attract tickets. Shes on a mission, a
mission to kill somebody, he said.
Arias lies and peculiar behavior, meticu-
lously creating an alibi to avoid suspicion
within hours of Alexanders death, have been
at the heart of the prosecutions case.
Arias said she was too scared and ashamed
to tell the truth at the time and didnt want
to sully Alexanders name by revealing
their raunchy sex and his violent episodes.
Alexander was a Mormon and portrayed
himself to friends and family as a virgin and
devout follower of the faith who was saving
himself for marriage.
Arias says Alexander had grown physi-
cally abusive in the months before she killed
him, once even choking her into unconscious-
ness, but she kept seeing him because she was
in love.
However, there has been no evidence or
testimony during the trial to corroborate her
stories that Alexander was violent or owned
a gun the very gun she says she used to
shoot him.
The defense has portrayed Alexander as a
cheating womanizer who used Arias for sex
and abused her physically and emotionally.
Prosecutors have depicted Arias as an
obsessed ex-girlfriend who couldnt come to
grips with the ending relationship.
Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife
wounds, was shot in the forehead, and had
his throat slit. Arias palm print was found
in blood at the scene, along with nude pho-
tos of her and the victim from the day of the
killing.
She said she recalls Alexander attacking
her in a fury after a day of sex. She said she
ran into his closet to retrieve a gun he kept
on a shelf and fired in self-defense but has no
memory of stabbing him.
Arias said she didnt take her grandpar-
ents gun, which disappeared a week before
the killing. It has never been found.
Arias has acknowledged trying to clean the
scene of the killing, dumping the gun in the
desert and working on an alibi, even attending
a memorial service for Alexander before her
arrest in July 2008.
But it may have been Charlie Daniels
who summed up Jones best in a long,
beautifully rendered tribute. He noted
Jones was probably the most imitated
country singer of all time.
George Jones voice was a rowdy
Saturday night uproar at a back-street beer
joint, the heartbroken wail of the one who
wakes up to find the other side of the bed
empty, the far-off lonesome whistle of the
midnight train, the look in the eyes of a
young bride as that ring is placed on her
finger, the memories of a half-asleep old
man dreaming about the good old days,
Daniels said. Lost love, lost innocence,
good and bad memories, and experiences
that are just too much for a human being to
deal with. He sang for us all, the non-stop
partiers, the guys who are alone and the girl
done wrong, the puppy lovers, the extro-
vert, the introvert and the guy at the end
of the bar who never seems to go home
George had a song for everybody.
The funeral was broadcast live on cable
music television channels CMT and GAC
and in a nod to simpler times when
Jones was at his biggest on all local
television networks.
The Beaumont, Texas, native was in
the midst of a farewell tour that was to
have wrapped up with an all-star salute in
November in Nashville when he died. He
postponed two performances two weeks
ago and entered the hospital with a fever
and irregular blood pressure. Hed been ill
off and on over the previous year.
Jones pure, matchless baritone defined
the sound of country music for a half
century, and his death brought universal
reaction from the music community and
fans. Known for hits like Whos Gonna
Fill Their Shoes, White Lightning and
He Stopped Loving Her Today, which
Alan Jackson used to close the memorial,
Jones had No. 1s in four decades from
the 1950s to the 1980s and Possum
remained a popular figure in Music City
until his death.
Brother George taught us how to sing
with a broken heart, Gill said.
Paisley said even though Jones has
passed on, his legacy is still there, ready
to inspire. He urged young viewers who
might be tuning in to check out Jones
music.
You must be thinking, Boy, theyre
making a ruckus, Paisley said. I would
encourage you if you dont know him, go
find him now. Go buy his records and see
what all this ruckus is about because its
worth it.

This local initiative
is aimed to help Van Wert
County assert itself in the
immensely competitive mar-
ket for jobs and economic
growth while still retaining
the hometown atmosphere
and quality of life that is
currently enjoyed by its resi-
dents. Commissioners admit
that the added expense of an
outreach coordinator is not
perfect timing for the county
and its current financial state
but it is consistent with the
commissioners commitment
to the growth of this county.
Smith has a real passion
for the economic develop-
ment of Van Wert, remarked
Lichtensteiger. She is on
this wavelength a lot and we
are constantly pulling ideas
from her for the expansion
of businesses. She is always
clicking and developing new
ideas and will increase the
countys chance of success.
The Commissioners fully
anticipate the successful
coordination between the
OSU Economic Development
Directors position and the
new position. The Economic
Development Executive
Committee and the commis-
sioners are expected to meet
next week to complete the
final details of this collabora-
tion.
The Count y
Commissioners have hired
Smith as an independent
contractor, thus eliminating
the need to pay expensive
benefits. The position is part
time and is wholly funded by
the Commissioners.
When first turning on home air
conditioners, leave the room with the
windows open for several minutes to
allow mold spores to disperse.
Minimize biological pollutants in
basements by cleaning and disinfect-
ing the floor drain regularly.
President of Reliable Plumbing &
Heating Inc., Tony Burgei explained
that mold grows primarily around
windows and edges of walls when
the humidity is high. It is attributed
to poor insulation, allowing cold air
to penetrate walls and then humidity
setting in. With leaky water pipes, the
same event occurs where the mold
collects and then lives in the high
humidity environment. These issues
are more common in older homes.
Maintain a 40- to 50-percent
humidity level in the home, Burgei
said. People can buy a barometer
from any retailer to monitor humidity
levels.
Burgei said that if a homeown-
er suspects a problem with mold,
the first step is to have the dwell-
ing inspected. If the issue demands
window replacement or construction,
refer to a contractor.
Newer homes have similar ventila-
tion issues where mold can occur but
the majority of the biological pollut-
ants in new construction is pollen and
dust. Air filtration and air purification
systems are effective in removing the
particles from the inside air.
When it comes to any kind of filter
for a systemfurnace, air condition-
ing, air purification or air filtration
Burgei said that people have to look
at the MERV (Minimum Efficiency
Reporting Value) rating. The higher
the rating, the finer the pollutants it
will collect.
Pollen levels vary based on loca-
tions are directly affected by weather
conditions. When coming in from out-
of-doors, people should change into
fresh clothing and put worn clothing
into the wash. This will decrease the
scattering of pollen inside or inhal-
ing the pollen stuck on the clothing.
While traveling, people should keep
vehicle windows up and use recircu-
lated air, rather than fresh air from
outside.
Cockroaches are a common indoor
pest that causes allergies. The drop-
pings, body parts and saliva of cock-
roaches can be asthma triggers.
Dust mite excrement can also
prompt asthma symptoms. Mites are
found mostly in bedding and typi-
cally, a used mattress may have from
100,000 to 10 million mites in it.
Dust mites are much more preva-
lent during the winter due to homes
being closed up, Rosi said.
Dust mite covers are used under
regular bedding as a barrier. The
microscopic allergens can cause runny
noses, headache or itchy skin. The
pore size of the dust mite cover fabric
is measured in microns and industry
standards suggest a pore size below
6 microns.
In addition, carpeted floors provide
a micro-habitat for the accumulation
of food and moisture for the mite and
provides protection from removal by
vacuuming. The mites favorite food
is human dander (skin flakes), which
are shed at a rate of approximately
0.20 ounces per week.
Pets can also be a significant health
factor since the protein found in dan-
der of warm-blooded animals can lead
to allergic reactions or trigger asth-
matic episodes.

Decades-old question: Is antibacterial soap safe?
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP)
Its a chemical thats been
in U.S. households for more
than 40 years, from the body
wash in your bathroom show-
er to the knives on your kitch-
en counter to the bedding in
your babys basinet.
But federal health regu-
lators are just now decid-
ing whether triclosan the
germ-killing ingredient found
in an estimated 75 percent of
antibacterial liquid soaps and
body washes sold in the U.S.
is ineffective, or worse,
harmful.
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration is planning to
deliver a review this year of
whether triclosan is safe. The
ruling, which will determine
whether triclosan contin-
ues to be used in household
cleaners, could have implica-
tions for a $1 billion indus-
try that includes hundreds of
antibacterial products from
toothpaste to toys.
The agencys review
comes amid growing pressure
from lawmakers, consumer
advocates and others who are
concerned about the safety
of triclosan. Recent studies
of triclosan in animals have
led scientists to worry that
it could increase the risk of
infertility, early puberty and
other hormone-related prob-
lems in humans.
To me it looks like the
risks outweigh any benefit
associated with these prod-
ucts right now, said Allison
Aiello, professor at the
University of Michigans
School of Public Health. At
this point, its just looking
like a superfluous chemical.
The concerns over triclo-
san offer a sobering glimpse
at a little-known fact: Many
chemicals used in every-
day household products
have never been formally
approved by U.S. health
regulators. Thats because
many germ-killing chemi-
cals were developed decades
ago before there were laws
requiring scientific review of
cleaning ingredients.
The controversy also high-
lights how long it can take the
federal government to review
the safety of such chemicals.
Its not uncommon for the
process to drag on for years,
since regulators must review
volumes of research and take
comments from the public on
each draft.
In the case of triclosan,
Congress passed a law in
1972 requiring that the FDA
set guidelines for dozens of
common antibacterial chemi-
cals found in over-the-coun-
ter soaps and scrubs. The
guidelines function like a
cookbook for manufacturers,
detailing which chemicals
can be used in what products,
and in what amounts.
US rethinking possibly arming Syrian rebels
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The
Obama administration is
rethinking its opposition to arm-
ing the rebels who have been
locked in a civil war with the
Syrian regime for more than two
years, Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel said Thursday, becom-
ing the first top U.S. official to
publicly acknowledge the reas-
sessment.
During a Pentagon news
conference with British Defense
Secretary Philip Hammond,
Hagel said arming the rebels
was one option that the admin-
istration was considering in
consultation with its allies. But
he said he personally had not
decided whether it would be a
wise or appropriate move.
Arming the rebels thats
an option, he said. You look at
and rethink all options. It doesnt
mean you do or you will. ... It
doesnt mean that the president
has decided on anything.
Hammond said his country
was still bound by a European
Union arms embargo on Syria,
but he said Britain would look
at the issue again in a few weeks
when the ban expires and make
a decision based on the evolving
situation on the ground.
Hagels comments affirmed
what had been a quiet but
emerging dialogue within the
Obama administration: That
arming the rebels might be pref-
erable amid growing indications
that the Syrian regime has used
chemical weapons against its
own people, an action President
Barack Obama characterized as
a game-changer that would
have enormous consequences.
Asked for his thoughts on
the evolving issue, Obama said
Thursday that the U.S. will con-
tinue to evaluate its options.
We want to make sure
that we look before we leap
and that what were doing is
actually helpful to the situa-
tion as opposed to making it
more deadly or more complex,
Obama said at a news confer-
ence in Mexico.
Both Hagel and Hammond
also indicated that strong evi-
dence still was needed to pro-
vide a solid legal basis for any
military action the U.S. or its
allies might take. While nei-
ther would detail the evidence
already collected from several
reported incidents of chemi-
cal weapons use by the Bashar
Assad regime, Hammond said
the public still remembers that
claims of weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq in 2003
turned out to be untrue.
There is a very strong view
that we have to have very clear,
very high-quality evidence
before we make plans and act
on that evidence, Hammond
said. If there were future use
of chemical agents, that would
generate new opportunities for
us to establish a clear evidence
of use to a legal standard of
evidence.
