DELPHOS The board
of trustees of the Delphos
Public Library met for a short
June meeting Wednesday.
Director Kelly Rist told the
board that both summer read-
ing programs are off to a
good start.
This year, we have 320
children signed up. Last
years report said we had 275,
so were ahead this year,
she said. Weve started
the Adult Summer Reading
Program and I have some-
where between 50 and 75
adults. The program allows
them to look at the library
as a place that has more than
just books. If theyre tech
savvy, they can start tweet-
ing with us or check out our
Facebook page. Were getting
them to use magazines and
newspapers and also explore
the book club we have here.
Rist also announced that
patrons will have the oppor-
tunity to check whether or not
the library has a book theyre
browsing for on Amazon.
com.
You go through Google
Chrome and type in libraryex-
tension.com and you can
download it from there, Rist
said. What it does is when
youre browsing for a book
on Amazon.com, you can
check the availability of it at
your local library before you
buy it.
Library Extension doesnt
make users sign in; one
merely needs to install the
program and choose their
library.

DELPHOSThe closing
of ALCO has been quite a
shock to the community and
will have a financial impact
on city tax revenues.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier
said that from his under-
standing, there was a prob-
lem with the lease and there
seemed to be no other way
to get the problem resolved.
Unfortunately, it will greatly
affect the 15 full- and part-
time employees who worked
there and the people who
shopped there.
It will negatively impact
the community as a whole.
I hate to see any busi-
ness close, Gallmeier said.
It is a tremendous loss for
the city.
When asked about eco-
nomic development and
attracting a new business
to that site, Gallmeier said
that if there is trouble with
the landlord already, its
unlikely a business will
move in there unless repairs
are made. Those agreements
would be made between the
tenant (business) and the
landlord.
City Income Tax Manager
Doris Bockey said that she
could not give any specifics
on the financial impact the
store closing will have on
the city.
Any type of business that
leaves Delphos will cause a
loss in revenue, she said.
ALCOs Senior Vice
President for Store Operations
Ricardo Clemente, in a press
release from ACLO Stores,
Inc., cited a different reason
for the stores closure.
The decision to close
the store in Delphos was a
difficult one. We have val-
ued the opportunity to be a
part of this community but
unfortunately the stores
performance does not meet
our financial requirements,
Clemente said. The econo-
my has clearly had an impact
on store sales and weve
made the very difficult deci-
sion to close.

AEP, Council on Aging gives tips for storm aftermath
Information submitted
AEP Ohio, a unit of American
Electric Power, constantly has its eyes
on the weather. The companys inter-
nal meteorologists were monitoring the
approaching storm that was expected to
hit Ohio Wednesday evening.
AEP meteorologists agreed there was
potential for the front to produce a
squall line that could affect much of the
AEP Ohios service territory, as well
as neighboring states. This squall line
was expected to produce severe weather
accompanied by high winds gusting
above 60 miles per hour, potentially
causing widespread power outages in
affected areas.
AEP Ohio crews were prepared to
respond throughout the companys
service territory and the company is
identifying the availability of additional
resources.
What to do during a power outage:
Unplug major appliances to protect
them from a power surge when power
comes back on.
Leave a light turned on so you know
when power is restored.
Refuel heaters, lamps and gen-
erators outside and stay away from any
flames or sparks. Wipe up fuel spills
immediately.
Contact AEP if using a generator
this protects the homeowner and AEP
line workers as they work to restore
power. Be safe with backup generators.
Never operate lanterns, heaters, or
fuel-fired stoves without proper ventila-
tion.
Never burn charcoal indoors. It
releases poisonous carbon monoxide.
Avoid downed power lines or spark-
ing equipment.
Never remove debris thats within
10 feet of a power line.
Prevent children from carrying can-
dles or oil lamps.
Helping the elderly after
severe weather conditions
From the
Ohio Department of Aging
As severe conditions approach and
after they have passed, please check
on your friends, family and neighbors
in your community to ensure they have
power, food, water, medicines and nec-
essary supplies to stay safe and healthy
until things return to normal. Also, stay-
ing cool will be a big concern, as older
adults can be more susceptible to heat-
related illnesses.
Older adults, people with disabilities
and their families can call 1-866-243-
5678 to be connected to their local
area agency on agings resources and
programs that can provide help in their
communities.
The Delphos
Herald went to
press before the
storm hit the area
late Wednesday
early today. Here
are some tips from
American Electric
Power and the Ohio
Council on Aging
to assist residents
after a storm. Look

Rare Superman
comic book sells for
$175,000
MINNEAPOLIS (AP)
A rare copy of the comic book
featuring Supermans first
appearance that went undis-
covered for over 70 years in
the insulation of a Minnesota
house has sold for $175,000.
The high bidder for the
copy of Action Comics
No. 1 in the online auc-
tion was a hard core, gold-
en age comic book collec-
tor, Stephen Fishler, CEO
of ComicConnect.com, said
Tuesday. The buyers name
was not released. Fifty-one
offers were submitted before
bidding closed Monday night.
But Fishler said the buyer
had been looking for a sev-
eral months for a lower-grade,
unrestored copy of the Man
of Steels debut, rather than a
copy in better condition that
could have cost well over $1
million.
Fishler estimates there
are only around 100 known
copies of Action Comics No.
1, which was published in
1938. He said its prized not
only for its rarity, but because
Superman was the archetype
of all comic book superheroes
to come.
This copy was found by
David Gonzalez among old
newspapers in the ceiling
insulation of a house he was
restoring in the small western
Minnesota town of Hoffman.
Delphos woman
arrested on warrant
At 1:25 p.m. on Tuesday,

Upon officers arrival, they
located Deborah Fisher, 52,
and took her into custody on a
warrant issued out of Hancock
County for a non-compliance
to a court order.
Fisher was later turned over
to deputies from the Hancock
County Sheriffs Department.

STATE/LOCAL
BRIEFS
E - The Environmental
Magazine
Dear EarthTalk: How far along are we
at developing algae-based and other higher
yield sources of biofuels?
Jason McCabe, Tullahoma, TN
A few years ago biofuels were all the rage.
Environmental advocates to national security
hawks alike were extolling the virtues of etha-
nol and biodiesel as a carbon-neutral bridge to
our energy future. But the bubble burst when it
became apparent that there wasnt enough agri-
cultural land in the U.S. or elsewhere to grow
sufficient amounts of corn, palm and other
crops to feed both people and their engines. To
boot, the process of extracting and distributing
biofuels has proven anything but carbon neu-
tral. And with ever cheaper natural gas widely
available now, paying a premium for ethanol or
biodiesel seemed frivolous.
But a new generation of biofuels based on
algae might just change all that. One of the
major problems with biofuels that algae could
solve is space, since algae can yield as much
as 100 times more fuel per unit area than other
so-called second-generation biofuel crops
(e.g. non-food crops or non-food waste parts
of food crops). Federal researchers from the
U.S. Department of Energy report that it would
take only 15,000 square miles less than 1/7
the area now used to harvest all the corn across
the country to produce enough algae fuel to
replace all of our petroleum fuel.
While burning algae-derived fuel in an
engine or factory generates carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions just like fossil fuels do, the
algae itself requires CO2 to photosynthesize
so overall no new CO2 is added to the atmo-
sphere. Furthermore, any CO2 created through
processing or refinement can be captured and
re-directed to the growing algae beds. And
unlike other biofuel feedstocks, algae produc-
tion has minimal impact on freshwater sup-
plies especially when it can be undertaken
in ocean waters or even wastewater.
At least three well-funded ventures are
poised to ramp up production of commercially
viable quantities of algae-derived crude oil over
the next couple of years. Californias Solazyme
is building an algae fuel factory in Brazil in
partnership with food processing giant Bunge
and expects to manufacture 100,000 metric
tons of fuel there each year. Solazyme is also
retooling an Archer Daniels Midland factory
in Clinton, Iowa to produce another 100,000
metric tons of algae fuel per year domestically.
Another company ready to make the leap
into commercial scale production of algae fuel
is Sapphire Energy, which operates a 2,200
-acre algae farm in New Mexico where oil is
harvested across 70 open ponds and refined on
site. Sapphire Bill Gates is a big investor
expects the facility, which goes online next
year, to generate some 10,000 barrels of crude
oil a day by 2018.
Yet a third player in the emerging algae fuel
market is Synthetic Genomics, the brainchild
of genomics guru Craig Venter, who beat the
U.S. government in sequencing the human
genome and at a fraction of the cost. The com-
pany, which last year purchased an 81-acre site
in Californias Imperial Valley to scale up and
test its synthetic algae strains across 42 open
ponds, plans to genetically modify algae to
optimize its oil output. ExxonMobil signed a
$600 million development deal with the com-
pany to further the cutting edge research.
Federal researchers from the U.S.
Department of Energy report that it would
take only 15,000 square miles less than
1/7 the area now used to harvest all of
the corn across the country to produce
enough algae fuel to replace all of our petro-
leum fuel. (Texas A&M AgriLife photo)

Elks lodge donates to VW Council on Aging
VAN WERT Van Wert Lodge No. 1197, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
recently donated $100 to the Van Wert County Council on Aging. The monies will go
towards supporting their upcoming 3rd Annual Designer Purse Bingo Fundraiser sched-
uled at 6 p.m. Friday, June 14. The agency will use the donations to purchase designer
handbags which will be displayed and used as bingo prizes throughout the fundraiser.
The Council on Aging transports seniors every day to medical appointments, grocery
stores, pharmacies or social service appointments. Without these vital services, many of
the countys seniors would be forced to enter long-term care facilities. The rising cost of
fuel has created a problem for the agency.

Ohio House:
process veterans
claims faster
COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohio lawmakers want fed-
eral officials to reduce the
processing time for veterans
disability claims.
The Ohio House on
Wednesday approved a res-
olution urging President
Obama, Congress and the
head of the Department
of Veterans Affairs to take
prompt action to help veter-
ans get needed treatment.
Speaker Wi l l i am
Batchelder, a Medina
Republican, said in a state-
ment it is tragic that many
veterans are unable to get the
treatment.
The statement says the U.S.
Government Accountability
Office reports the average
length of time for the VA to
complete a disability claim
increased from 161 days to
260 days between fiscal years
2009 and 2012.
The GAO also says the
number of backlogged claims
awaiting a decision for more
than 125 days has more than
tripled since September 2009.
Holiday at Home

Bobcat sightings
in Ohio on the rise
Verifed sightings of threat-
ened species increase for
third straight year
COLUMBUS The
number of verified bobcat
sightings in Ohio in 2012
increased to 169, according
to the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR).
This marks the third con-
secutive year that more 100
verified bobcat sightings
were recognized in the state.
ODNR Division of
Wildlife biologists verified
136 and 106 sightings in
2011 and 2010, respectively.
Of the 169 verified sightings
in 2012, most occurred in
Noble County and the coun-
ties immediately adjacent.
Overall, observers in 31
counties reported a verified
bobcat sighting.
To report a bobcat sighting,
call 800-WILDLIFE (945-
3543) or email wildInfo@
dnr.state.oh.us. Sightings are
verified by ODNR Division
of Wildlife biologists and
have increased steadily dur-
ing the last decade. The bob-
cat is listed as a threatened
species in Ohio and is pro-
tected by state law.
Bobcats once roamed
across Ohio, but they were
extirpated around 1850 as
more people settled within
the state. A handful of unver-
ified bobcat sightings in the
1960s announced the return
of the species. Bobcat sight-
ings have been verified in
43 counties since 1970, with
unverified sightings in 84
counties.
A bobcat may be veri-
fied with photographs of the
animal or its tracks; road kill
recovery and sightings by
ODNR Division of Wildlife
personnel; and encounters
through incidental trappings,
which are followed by the
animals release. The num-
ber of bobcat sightings con-
firmed from trail cameras
has increased dramatically
since 2006, and most veri-
fied sightings in 2012 were
documented by these cam-
eras.
The ODNR Division of
Wildlife uses technology to
clarify estimated bobcat pop-
ulations because it is rare to
see them in the wild. To help
them with their research,
biologists use remote cam-
eras and scent stations. GPS
radio collars are used to track
the location of bobcats after
catching and releasing them.
Efforts to learn more
about the locations of bob-
cats are supported by the
Endangered Species and
Wildlife Diversity Fund.
Ohioans give donations to
this fund through the state
income tax check-off pro-
gram and by purchasing car-
dinal license plates. People
may also make donations at
wildohio.com.
ODNR ensures a bal-
ance between wise use and
protection of our natural
resources for the benefit of
all. Visit the ODNR website

Ohio panel OKs new
statewide deer hunting rules
COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio hunters will see extended
hours and new limits on the number of deer they can kill
statewide during the upcoming hunting season under rules
approved Wednesday by a state legislative panel.
The regulations, approved by the states Joint Committee
on Agency Rule Review, reduce the statewide bag limit on
deer from 12 to nine. They also set per-county limits instead of
dividing the state into zones with different limits.
Hunting hours have been extended 30 minutes past sun-
set for all deer firearms seasons, making the hours the same
as archery season. The rules cleared the committee with no
opposition.
The president of the League of Ohio Sportsmen, Larry
Mitchell, said the new county limits will help maintain a more
balanced deer herd across the state.

ASA announces
changes to Soybean
Marketing and
Production College

ST. LOUIS The American
Soybean Association (ASA)
announced the format of
its Soybean Marketing and
Production College is being
updated to better serve soy-
bean growers.
A premier education event
originally planned as a two-
day conference, the Soybean
Marketing and Production
College is being condensed
so participating growers will
only have to commit to one
night away from their farms.
The conference will now be
one day: Tuesday, July 30 at
the Crowne Plaza Riverfront
Hotel in St. Paul, Minn.
Every season has its own
unique challenges, and this
season is no different, said
Bob Worth, ASA Membership
and Corporate Relations
Chairman. The Soybean
Marketing and Production
College is designed to pro-
vide information on market-
ing and production practices
to enhance grower profit-
ability. Reducing the number
of days off-farm, while still
providing the same great con-
tent, will allow more growers
to take advantage of this key
educational opportunity.
Attendees of ASAs
Soybean Marketing and
Production College will par-
ticipate in learning sessions
on herbicide and weed resis-
tance sponsored by Bayer
CropScience; precision
agriculture, sponsored by
AGCO; and global sustain-
ability. Matt Roberts, Ph.D.,
of Ohio State University,will
deliver the keynote presen-
tation reviewing the current
supply and demand situation
for grains and how growers
can take advantage of trends
in their own marketing deci-
sions.
The registration fee for
the ASA Soybean Marketing
and Production College is
$199 for ASA members and
$279 for non-members. Fees
have been reduced to reflect
the change in format.
Dont miss out on this
important educational pro-
gram that will help you
increase your on-farm profit.
Register by Tuesday, July 9!

Honey bee swarm;
do not panic
BY JIM LOPSHIRE
OSU-Extension
Ag Educator
Paulding County
A cluster of bees hanging on the branch of a tree or on the
side of a building is a sure cause for human excitement. This is
referred to as honey bee swarming.
A swarm is the way honey bees start a new colony. Honey
bee swarms can contain thousands of bees that have broken
away from the original colony, including workers, drones and
the original queen.
Swarms of bees sometimes frighten people, though they are
usually not aggressive at this stage of their life cycle. This is
principally due to the fact that swarming bees have no hive to
defend and are more interested in finding a new nesting point
for their queen. This does not mean that bee swarms will not
attack if they perceive a threat; however, most bees only attack
in response to intrusions against their hive and swarming bees
have no hive.
The queen is at the center of the swarm. Her pheromones
attract the other bees to her. A few scout bees will leave the
swarm to seek out a suitable location for a nest, such as a cav-
ity in a tree. When a location is found, the swarm will move to
the site.
Oftentimes, local beekeepers are willing to capture a swarm.
If you do not know one, give the Extension office a call. The
beekeeper will place an empty container, such as a bee hive, at
the base of the swarm, and shake or dislodge the bees from the
swarm into the entrance. The now-occupied hive can be moved
after dark, when the bees are done foraging and are less active.
Occasionally, honey bees will attempt to nest in house
walls. The OSU Extension Fact Sheet, Honey Bees in House
Walls (ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/pdf/2079.pdf) provides
detailed information on removing a honey bee colony from
structures.
BY JAMES J.
HOORMAN
OSU-Extension
Ag educator
Putnam County
Mississippi State
University offers the fol-
lowing explanation on pur-
ple corn. Corn growth is
often stunted and lower corn
leaves turn purple as a result
of phosphorus (P) deficien-
cy. Phosphoruss primary
role in a plant is to store and
transfer energy produced
by photosynthesis for use
in growth and reproductive
processes. Adequate P levels
encourage vigorous root and
shoot growth and promote
early maturity. These effects
often increase water use effi-
ciency and potential grain
yield. Thus, phosphorus
deficiency stunts plant veg-
etative growth and reduces
grain development.
Purple leaf tissue is
symptomatic of P deficien-
cy. Phosphorus deficiency
symptoms appear on lower
leaf tips and progress along
leaf margins until the entire
leaf shows purpling. Lower
leaves often die when P defi-
ciency is severe, especially
when hot, dry, windy con-
ditions persist. New leaves
emerging from the whorl are
usually green, because the
plant mobilizes available P
to the youngest leaves.
Phosphorus deficiency
symptoms often occur as
young plants are exposed
to growing conditions fol-
lowing cool and often wet
conditions. These conditions
result in a lag phase where
vegetative growth exceeds
the roots ability to supply
P. Young plants are espe-
cially vulnerable because
their root systems are small
and P is immobile in the
soil solution. Any cultural or
environmental factors which
limit root growth will aggra-
vate deficiency symptoms.
Examples of such conditions
include: cool temperatures,
too wet or dry soil, com-
pacted soil, herbicide dam-
age, insect damage, and root
pruning by side-dressing
knives or cultivators. Acidic
soil can also intensify P defi-
ciency symptoms. Low soil
pH severely limits P avail-
ability to plants, which may
cause deficiency symptoms
even where high soil test P
levels exist.
Leaves normally regain
green coloration when fur-
ther root exploration occurs,
especially when favorable
growing conditions prevail.
However, P deficiency will
reduce yield by delaying
maturity, stunting growth,
and restricting energy uti-
lization. Warmer tempera-
tures, sunlight, and rain help
plants obtain more P because
these conditions promote
both plant and root growth.
Good growing conditions
move sugars blocked in the
plant leaves, which is caus-
ing the purple leaf color.
Treatment options to rem-
edy P deficiency have mod-
est short-term effectiveness,
since P is immobile in the soil
solution. Thus, root explora-
tion into the amended area
is required for plant uptake.
Surface application of P fer-
tilizer will limit availabil-
ity to the top couple inches
of soil. Thus, plant uptake
would be more probable in
no-tillage cropping systems,
since these systems encour-
age root exploration near
the soil surface. Phosphorus
injected as a side-dress treat-
ment would increase avail-
ability to the root system;
however, be careful not to
prune roots (Mississippi
State University). In most
cases, a good rain and warm-
er temperatures are the best
cure.
Bagworms are starting
to hatch in southwest Ohio,
says Joe Boggs, Ohio State
University horticulturalist,
so people in Northwest
Ohio should start looking
for signs of bagworms on
their trees, especially pine
trees. However, bagworms
eat not only evergreens but
also about 130 different spe-
cies of deciduous (plants that
grow and live more than one
year) trees and shrubs.
Bagworms use a pro-
cess called ballooning to
transport themselves to new
locations. Some of the first
caterpillars (first instar) that
hatch will produce a strand
of silk and if the wind catch-
es this strand, they can be
transported to a new loca-
tion. This is how bagworms
find new hosts to infect each
year. The first instar cater-
pillars make a bag like a
dunce cap while the second
batch (second instar) forms
a downward balloon like a
pine cone. The later-hatched
instars are highly destruc-
tive, especially to pine trees.
To control bagworms and
their damage, try to target
the early instar caterpil-
lars that are hatching. The
best product to use on early
instar hatching caterpillars is
a biological insecticide call
Bacillus thuringienis(Btk)
found in products like
Dipel, Thuricide, etc.
which kill the pest but not
the beneficial predators. Btk
is a stomach poison insec-
ticide that must be ingested
so the effect is short-lived
and two applications may
be required to control the
emerging bagworms. Once
the bagworms get more
than 0.75 inches long, the
Btk efficiency declines, so
spray early and often. A soil
drench application of dinote-
furan (e.g. Safari) or prod-
ucts containing clothianidin
are also effective against
early instar bagworms and
do not harm beneficial pred-
ators and parasitoids (Taken
from Buckeye horticultural
newsletter).
Corn growth is often
stunted and lower corn
leaves turn purple as a result
of phosphorus (P) deficiency.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima
culpa!
There is always one thing that a
newspaper writer dreads.
That is making a factual mistake.
I did this weekend during the state
Track and Field Meet.
I wrote that Van Wert senior distance
man Jared Fleming came in third in the
boys 1,600-meter race in Division II.
The truth is, he came in second to
Sam Prakel of Versailles who by the
way is heading to Oregon on an athletic
scholarship.
I sincerely apologize for my mess-
up. Believe me, that is the last thing I
ever intend when I write about a game
or a meet.
Speaking of State Track, the first-
ever Wheelchair Events went off this
year.
Everyone that includes many in
the hard-bitten media was clap-
ping and cheering for these athletes.
There werent many this year but
one hopes that there will be more and
more in the years to come.
I dont wish for more and more ath-
letes to become paraplegics; I just hope
that more and more that already are will
give this a try.
It continues to amaze me about the
athletes we have in this state.
Its not just the prowess on the track
or in the field.
Its how you can have performers
go at it for four years maybe longer
tooth and nail and yet end up as best
friends.
Just like when a Putnam County
basketball team goes to State and the
entire county seems to be supportive,
the same is true of track.
There is a certain pride of represent-
ing your league and area of the state
that you want anyone that is in the same
boat to do well.
Its not just that but it is the to
borrow a phrase from my friend and
colleague, Dave Boninsegna afore-
mentioned friendship.
While it is a source of pride to
end your career at State it is also a
source of sadness because it is the end
of a career.
For many of these boys and girls,
that was the last competitive event they
will participate in.
All the work, effort, camps, weight-
lifting, conditioning, etc., comes down
to that one last event and then poof!
Its over.
As one who never played a sport
at the varsity level, I admit that I
really dont know what that means,
how it feels, the emotions that were
going through everyones mind as they
crossed the tape, made/missed on their
final vault, tossed their last shot put.
I have also been doing this job
covering sports since August of
1990 and I appreciate what these kids
go through to get to that point.
Maybe this isnt true at bigger news-
papers but I feel it is true for those at
smaller papers; we reporters do get to
know these kids and, try as we might,
we have something invested in their
success as well.
Its how it is.
We like to see them do well, espe-
cially against the best of the best.
We take no credit that would be
the ultimate of arrogance because it
is what THEY do, not us. We just hope
to see it bear fruit.
I was perusing the Internet the
other day and found this item where
the fruit matured far sooner.

Reds win record 12th straight at Wrigley, 2-1
By BRIAN SANDALOW
Associated Press
CHICAGO Mike Leake pitched just
a little better than former teammate Travis
Wood and helped the Cincinnati Reds extend
their dominance of the Chicago Cubs at
Wrigley Field.
Leake combined with Aroldis Chapman
on a 3-hitter and Todd Frazier hit a tie-break-
ing home run against Wood in the seventh
inning, leading the Reds past the Cubs 2-1
Wednesday for their record 12th straight win
at Wrigley Field.
Leake (6-3) won for the fourth time in five
decisions, allowing only Nate Schierholtzs
second-inning home run into the right-field
bleachers, his eighth of the season. The
Cincinnati starter gave up one run and three
hits while striking out six over eight innings.
Facing Wood, Leake said, is fun, defi-
nitely, and frustrating at the same time.
You want him to do well and you want
yourself to do well. Today we both did really
well, so you cant complain.
Wood (5-5) gave up two runs and four hits
in seven innings, his third loss in four deci-
sions. He fell to 0-3 with a 4.65 ERA in five
starts against the Reds, who traded him to
the Cubs on Dec. 23, 2011, for reliever Sean
Marshall.
Felt good out there today, was locating
pretty well and keeping them off balance,
Wood said. Leake was doing the same; he
had an outstanding game today.
The Reds usually do quite well against
the Cubs, especially at Wrigley Field.
Cincinnati is 10-2 overall against the
Cubs this season and 25-6 dating to Sept.
13, 2011. Leake improved to 6-2 with a 3.24
ERA in 13 career starts against Chicago.
The previous record for consecutive wins
by a visitor at Wrigley was 10, by the St.
Louis Cardinals (1943-44) and matched by
the New York Giants (1950-51) and Montreal
Expos (1982-83), according to STATS.
Cincinnatis Dusty Baker, who managed
the Cubs from 2003-06, didnt have an
explanation for the streak at Wrigley.
I dont know, man, Baker said. Just
feel fortunate that it happens when it hap-
pens.
Cesar Izturis got the Reds first hit off
Wood with an infield single in the fifth
and Cincinnati tied the score in the sixth
when Shin-Soo Choo doubled and scored on
Brandon Phillips 2-out single.
Leake retired 12 consecutive batters
before Darwin Barney singled with one out
in the eighth. By then, Frazier had hit his
eighth homer, sending a 1-0 pitch through a
wind and into the left-field bleachers, giving
the Reds a 2-1 lead.
Frazier has homered in consecutive games
since Baker gave him the day off Monday to
study and watch what was happening.
Chapman struck out two in a perfect
ninth for his 17th save in 19 chances to give
Cincinnati its third straight win since losing
two out of three last weekend to first-place
St. Louis.
The Cubs have lost eight out of 10 since a
5-game winning streak and fell to a season-
worst 13 games below .500. In their last five
losses, theyve scored a combined seven
runs.
Its a broken record, Cubs manager
Dale Sveum said. Woodys just pitched
another great game and has nothing to show
for it.
Unfortunately for the Cubs, thats usu-
ally how it goes for them against the Reds
at Wrigley.
NOTES: Chicagos Starlin Castro went
0-for-3 and is in a 4-for-48 slide (.083).
He hit in the No. 6 slot for only the sec-
ond time in his career. Choo, normally
the Reds leadoff hitter, was second in the
batting order while Derrick Robinson was
first. Choo entered 0-for-6 with four strike-
outs against Wood. The Cubs placed
RHP Zach Putnam on the 15-day DL and
recalled LHP Brooks Raley from Triple-A
Iowa. When asked if LHP Tony Cingrani
would stay in the Cincinnati rotation, Baker
replied Whos spot is he going to take?
Cingrani gave up two earned runs in seven
innings Tuesday but the Reds hope Johnny
Cueto will be able to return Sunday against
Milwaukee. Alfonso Soriano pinch-
hit and had a game-ending groundout.
Todays pitching matchup is Cincinnatis
Mat Latos (6-0, 2.87) against the Cubs Jeff
Samardzija (3-7, 3.18).

NC State ready for shot at rival UNC in Omaha
Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. North Carolina
State waited a long time to make it back
to the College World Series. It only
makes it sweeter that the first opponent
will be the Wolfpacks hated rival.
N.C. State (49-14) left for Omaha
Wednesday, the programs first trip to
the CWS since 1968 and just the sec-
ond overall. Its opener comes Sunday
against North Carolina, the No. 1 over-
all seed in the NCAA tournament.
The last time the teams met, the
Tar Heels won 2-1 in 18 innings over
Memorial Day weekend in the lon-
gest game in Atlantic Coast Conference
tournament history.
It definitely is meaningful because
we owe them another game, N.C.
State senior Tarran Senay said. We
owe them our best. Its going to be
tough but its going to be fun. Its a big
one.
The Wolfpack advanced to Omaha
with two 1-run wins against Rice in last
weekends super regionals here. In the
second game, N.C. State had to rally
from three down in the ninth before
finally winning 5-4 in 17 innings in the
longest super regional game ever.
It was a breakthrough for a program
that has reached the NCAA tournament
in 10 out of 11 years and reached the
super regionals three times during that
span. N.C. State had lost at Miami in
2003, Georgia in 2008 and Florida last
year in what amounted to the same
frustrating roadblock.
N.C. State coach Elliott Avent said
he went right back to work preparing
for Omaha after the Rice win. But he
gave his players two days off to savor
the moment while he started sorting
through the congratulatory messages
from former players.
Its been a process, Avent added
of the Wolfpacks climb. Every per-
son from Joey Devine to Aaron Bates
and every person that Ive heard from
the phone calls, the text messages,
the tweets, the e-mails, its just been
so special because everyone knows
theyve been a part of this.
Avent has 648 wins in his 17 seasons
and became the programs winningest
coach in 2010, passing Sam Esposito
the coach who led the 1968 team to
its only previous College World Series.
N.C. State had to wait two days to
find out who it would face in its CWS
opener. North Carolinas 3-game super
regional series with South Carolina was
delayed two days due to weather before
the Tar Heels won Tuesdays decisive
game 5-4.
It will be UNCs sixth trip to the
College World Series in eight years,
though the first meeting between
the schools separated by about a
30-minute drive along Interstate 40
in the NCAA tournament.
I do think it certainly has brought
attention to college baseball in this area
especially, UNC coach Mike Fox said
after Tuesdays win. I know how hard
Elliott has worked over there with his
program. Its hard, its hard to get to
Omaha I keep telling myself that.
Were going six times in eight years
and I told the players (Monday) night,
its mind-blowing to me.
The teams met three times this year,
twice in Raleigh during an April series.
The Tar Heels took the series opener
7-1 to end the Wolfpacks 15-game
winning streak, the programs longest
in a decade. N.C. State won the second
game 7-3 but the third game was rained
out.
Then came the ACC tournament
marathon in Durham, which drew the
biggest-ever crowd for a college base-
ball game (11,392) in the history of the
state.
N.C. States players are ready for
another shot at North Carolina and
beyond.
Were not going there to play two
games, were going to play more, soph-
omore Trea Turner said. Hopefully we
can do that against Carolina and who-
ever we play after that. We definitely
think we can win it and were going
to give it our all.
Coach Cohen builds Mississippi
St. into a winner
STARKVILLE, Miss. Its taken
just five years for John Cohen to revi-
talize Mississippi States baseball pro-
gram and return the Bulldogs to cham-
pionship contention.
The journey hasnt been easy but a
remade roster constructed with Cohens
ideals of hustle, intensity and just
enough talent have led the Bulldogs to
the CWS for the first time since 2007.
Its only their second trip since 1998.
This group of blue-collar Bulldogs
also have a healthy sense of humor.
Were just 27 dumb guys,
Mississippi State pitcher Luis Pollorena
said. But once you put us all together,
you wont beat us.
Mississippi State (48-18) will face
No. 3 national seed Oregon State (50-
11) on Saturday in Omaha.
The Bulldogs do have one legiti-
mate superstar. Junior outfielder Hunter
Renfroe who was the 13th overall
pick by the San Diego Padres last week
leads the offense with a .360 batting
average, 15 homers and 61 RBIs.
But the rest of the roster has been
filled with interchangeable heroes. The
most recent is senior left-hander Chad
Girodo, who has struck out 24 batters in
13 innings during the postseason.
Everybody kind of fits into this
thing and youve got a nice mix,
Cohen said. Its like any recipe it
involves a lot of different ingredients.
Cohen was an outfielder for
Mississippi State during the programs
glory years, when the Bulldogs went
to Omaha three times in 10 seasons,
including his senior season in 1990.
He was brought back to his alma mater
before the 2009 season, charged with
rebuilding a program that had turned
mediocre.
But he looked like a bad fit in
Starkville for the first two years, espe-
cially during the awful 2010 season
that included a 6-24 record in the
Southeastern Conference.
But a young group of players
included Girodo believed in Cohens
approach and helped the program grow.
The Bulldogs made a surprise run to
the NCAA tournaments super regional
round in 2011 before losing to Florida
and then won the SEC tournament in
2012. A veteran team returned this
spring, started the season on a 17-game
winning streak and hasnt slowed down
much since.
If anyone watches what we do on a
daily basis, you would understand that
weve put in the work and the time,
Girodo said. Weve worked so hard on
what we do and were finally getting
rewarded for it. Its so awesome.
Cohen said its gratifying watching
players like Girodo who threw just
7 2/3 innings last season mature into
quality players.
Theres a bond that forms, theres
no doubt about it, Cohen said. Those
bonds will last forever and ever and
ever.
As Mississippi States roster has
changed, so has Cohen. The 42-year-
old is known for his aggressive person-
ality but there hasnt been much yelling
lately.
The 48 wins have helped ease his
blood pressure but so has a group of
players that he recruited and now trusts.
Mississippi State first baseman Wes
Rea said Cohens fiery reputation is
well deserved but also a bit exagger-
ated; he gives the teams captains a lot
of input on decisions and is open to
suggestions.
An example: Cohen relaxed the
teams no facial hair rule after pitcher
Trevor Fitts put together a full Power
Point presentation that included suc-
cessful players who sported a scruffy
face.
Mississippi State might pride itself
on a loose attitude but theyve been
quite efficient when the games come.
The Bulldogs have won 12 of their last
15, including an impressive 2-game
sweep over Virginia in the super region-
al round to advance to Omaha.
Now Mississippi State will try to
win its first national championship in
baseball. This is the Bulldogs ninth trip
to Omaha but theyve never finished
higher than third.
The mystery of Merion starts to unfold at US Open
Associated Press
ARDMORE, Pa. The affection was genuine. Even
better was beating Jack Nicklaus in a playoff. So when Lee
Trevino got his hands on that U.S. Open trophy in 1971, the
guy who never lacked for one-liners gushed, I love Merion
and I dont even know her last name.
For this generation of stars, Merion is more like a blind
date.
No other course with four U.S. Opens had to wait such a
long time 32 years for another chance to test the worlds
best players. Even with Tiger Woods back to No. 1 and win-
ning at a ridiculous rate, so much of the talk at this major
championship has been about Merion.
For years, it was considered too small to handle such a big
tournament and the big hitters with their modern equipment.
And with soft greens from more than six inches of rain in the
last week, the question is whether the course will yield the
kind of scores rarely seen at the toughest test in golf.
Today, the mystery of Merion will start to unfold.
Its been how long, 32 years? And with all the technology
since then? Steve Stricker asked as he headed to the first
tee Wednesday for one last practice round. Someone asked
me the other day about someone shooting a 62. And what I
wanted to say was, Youre crazy. But you just dont know.
We dont know whats going to happen. And in a way, thats
kind of cool.
Not so cool was the weather expected for the opening
round.
Merion already took a beating last Friday when more than
three inches of rain sent water over the edges of some bunkers
and left small streams on fairways and greens. More rain on
Monday caused the course to be closed three times.
The forecast called for increasing clouds, gusts and show-
ers this morning, with stronger storms likely to arrive around
noon.
Sure, we want it firm and fast, USGA vice president
Thomas OToole said Wednesday. We happen to play a sport
thats played outdoors. We received significant rain over the
last week and some tell us that well have even more sig-
nificant rain tomorrow. So its not a perfect world. Its not a
perfect game but we take what were dealt with.
Whether a golf course is big or small, soft greens typically
are a recipe for low scores. Then again, Merion is not a typical
golf course.
It measures 6,996 yards on the scorecard the shortest of
any major championship in nine years and has a stretch of
seven holes in the middle that are short even by yesterdays
standards. Compare those holes with the scorecard from when
Ben Hogan won the 1950 U.S. Open at Merion and four of
those holes were actually longer by a few yards in Hogans
day.
Players typically reach for the wedge to chip out of the
rough around the greens at the U.S. Open. At Merion, they
could be hitting wedge into the green for their second shot on
at least six holes. Thats what has caused all the clamor about
low scores.
And with the rain, its reminiscent of how Congressional
was vulnerable two years ago, when Rory McIlroy shattered
U.S. Open scoring records at 16-under 268.
Ive been reading about how many scoring records are
going to be broken, Nick Watney said. Ive been around
here once and I think thats insane. Its funny to me. People
look at the yardage and think its going to be easy. Even if its
soft, the greens are sloped. The rough is thick. OK, well have
wedges into some of the greens but that doesnt mean you
make birdie on all those holes. Theres enough tough holes to
counteract that.
Even so, the winning score has gone down in each of
the four previous U.S. Opens at Merion, from Olin Dutra at
13-over par in 1934 to David Graham winning at 7-under in
1981, the last time this major championship was here.
Where did David Graham shoot 7-under? From there?
Watney asked as he pointed the end of his driver to a spot
some 30 yards from where he was standing. Because he
didnt do it from here.
Watney was standing in the middle of the putting green.
He took three steps to his right and was standing on the 14th
tee. As an example of longer holes being made more difficult,
a new tee on the 464-yard hole is where members practice
putting.
The biggest fear with rain on the horizon is what will hap-
pen the rest of the week. The forecast is reasonable after today
but in soft conditions, balls start to pick up clumps of mud as
the sun starts to dry the course. And while players often are
allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairway
in muddy conditions on the PGA Tour, they dont do that at
the U.S. Open.
Remember, the USGA famously referred to the local rule
as lift, clean and cheat.
It all begins with Cliff Kresge hitting the opening shot of
the 113th U.S. Open at 6:45 a.m. today weather permitting,
of course.
Woods, McIlroy and Masters champion Adam Scott play
this afternoon in the power grouping of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in the
world. Sergio Garcia plays on the opposite side of the draw,
teeing off this morning. So does Phil Mickelson, who left
Philadelphia on Monday when the weather was bad to practice
in San Diego. He planned on being home, anyway, so he could
watch his oldest daughter graduate from the eighth grade.
Mickelson was scheduled to arrive about 4:15 a.m. today, just
three hours before his tee time.
Stricker called Merion the longest short course Ive ever
played. Graeme McDowell is another guy who isnt buying
into the fear over low scoring.
Everyone is saying that its going to be 62s and 63s on
this golf course, which I kind of disagree with at the minute,
McDowell added. I think 10 or 11 of these golf holes are as
tough as any U.S. Open Ive seen.
The lowest score in major championship history is 63 and
it has happened only four times in the U.S. Open Johnny
Miller at Oakmont in 1973 on a soggy course, Nicklaus and
Tom Weiskopf on the same day at Baltusrol in 1980 during
a wet week and Vijay Singh on a rain-softened course at
Olympia Fields in 2003.

College
It seems that Nathan Tilford, a wide receiver from Upland,
Calif., has been offered a scholarship and verballed to it by
the University of Southern California.
No big deal except for one simple fact Tilford is an incom-
ing freshman in HIGH SCHOOL.
Oy vay.
Of course, this is nothing new for Lance Kiffin: he got a
commit from David Sills in 2010 when the quarterback was 13.
He is soon to start his junior year at Eastern Christian
Academy.
Then there is this item about one Cory Hahn.
He was the 34th-round pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks
this summer.
Nothing interesting about that, right?
Heres where it does get intriguing.
You see, he wore number 34 for the Arizona State Sun Devils
but he will never play for the Diamondbacks.
You see, he is paralyzed after sliding head-first in a game
versus New Mexico in 2011.
The paradox is that he almost never slid head-first before but
he did this time.
In a classy move, the DBacks are negotiating with Hahn
and his agent about a role in the scouting or baseball operations
department.
His dream was to play at the major-league level but instead,
he has adjusted his dream to work at that same level.
He was ecstatic about being drafted, so its a positive all
around.
He also has a dream of walking again some day.
Good for him; I hope he gets there!

NC State ready for shot at rival UNC in Omaha
Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. North Carolina
State waited a long time to make it back
to the College World Series. It only
makes it sweeter that the first opponent
will be the Wolfpacks hated rival.
N.C. State (49-14) left for Omaha
Wednesday, the programs first trip to
the CWS since 1968 and just the sec-
ond overall. Its opener comes Sunday
against North Carolina, the No. 1 over-
all seed in the NCAA tournament.
The last time the teams met, the
Tar Heels won 2-1 in 18 innings over
Memorial Day weekend in the lon-
gest game in Atlantic Coast Conference
tournament history.
It definitely is meaningful because
we owe them another game, N.C.
State senior Tarran Senay said. We
owe them our best. Its going to be
tough but its going to be fun. Its a big
one.
The Wolfpack advanced to Omaha
with two 1-run wins against Rice in last
weekends super regionals here. In the
second game, N.C. State had to rally
from three down in the ninth before
finally winning 5-4 in 17 innings in the
longest super regional game ever.
It was a breakthrough for a program
that has reached the NCAA tournament
in 10 out of 11 years and reached the
super regionals three times during that
span. N.C. State had lost at Miami in
2003, Georgia in 2008 and Florida last
year in what amounted to the same
frustrating roadblock.
N.C. State coach Elliott Avent said
he went right back to work preparing
for Omaha after the Rice win. But he
gave his players two days off to savor
the moment while he started sorting
through the congratulatory messages
from former players.
Its been a process, Avent added
of the Wolfpacks climb. Every per-
son from Joey Devine to Aaron Bates
and every person that Ive heard from
the phone calls, the text messages,
the tweets, the e-mails, its just been
so special because everyone knows
theyve been a part of this.
Avent has 648 wins in his 17 seasons
and became the programs winningest
coach in 2010, passing Sam Esposito
the coach who led the 1968 team to
its only previous College World Series.
N.C. State had to wait two days to
find out who it would face in its CWS
opener. North Carolinas 3-game super
regional series with South Carolina was
delayed two days due to weather before
the Tar Heels won Tuesdays decisive
game 5-4.
It will be UNCs sixth trip to the
College World Series in eight years,
though the first meeting between
the schools separated by about a
30-minute drive along Interstate 40
in the NCAA tournament.
I do think it certainly has brought
attention to college baseball in this area
especially, UNC coach Mike Fox said
after Tuesdays win. I know how hard
Elliott has worked over there with his
program. Its hard, its hard to get to
Omaha I keep telling myself that.
Were going six times in eight years
and I told the players (Monday) night,
its mind-blowing to me.
The teams met three times this year,
twice in Raleigh during an April series.
The Tar Heels took the series opener
7-1 to end the Wolfpacks 15-game
winning streak, the programs longest
in a decade. N.C. State won the second
game 7-3 but the third game was rained
out.
Then came the ACC tournament
marathon in Durham, which drew the
biggest-ever crowd for a college base-
ball game (11,392) in the history of the
state.
N.C. States players are ready for
another shot at North Carolina and
beyond.
Were not going there to play two
games, were going to play more, soph-
omore Trea Turner said. Hopefully we
can do that against Carolina and who-
ever we play after that. We definitely
think we can win it and were going
to give it our all.
Coach Cohen builds Mississippi
St. into a winner
STARKVILLE, Miss. Its taken
just five years for John Cohen to revi-
talize Mississippi States baseball pro-
gram and return the Bulldogs to cham-
pionship contention.
The journey hasnt been easy but a
remade roster constructed with Cohens
ideals of hustle, intensity and just

11) on Saturday in Omaha.
The Bulldogs do have one legiti-
mate superstar. Junior outfielder Hunter
Renfroe who was the 13th overall
pick by the San Diego Padres last week
leads the offense with a .360 batting

to Omaha but theyve never finished
higher than third.
The mystery of Merion starts to unfold at US Open
Associated Press
ARDMORE, Pa. The affection was genuine. Even
better was beating Jack Nicklaus in a playoff. So when Lee
Trevino got his hands on that U.S. Open trophy in 1971, the
guy who never lacked for one-liners gushed, I love Merion
and I dont even know her last name.
For this generation of stars, Merion is more like a blind

No other course with four U.S. Opens had to wait such a
long time 32 years for another chance to test the worlds
best players. Even with Tiger Woods back to No. 1 and win-
ning at a ridiculous rate, so much of the talk at this major
championship has been about Merion.
For years, it was considered too small to handle such a big
tournament and the big hitters with their modern equipment.
And with soft greens from more than six inches of rain in the
last week, the question is whether the course will yield the
kind of scores rarely seen at the toughest test in golf.
Today, the mystery of Merion will start to unfold.
Its been how long, 32 years? And with all the technology
since then? Steve Stricker asked as he headed to the first
tee Wednesday for one last practice round. Someone asked
me the other day about someone shooting a 62. And what I
wanted to say was, Youre crazy. But you just dont know.
We dont know whats going to happen. And in a way, thats
kind of cool.
Not so cool was the weather expected for the opening
round.
Merion already took a beating last Friday when more than
three inches of rain sent water over the edges of some bunkers
and left small streams on fairways and greens. More rain on
Monday caused the course to be closed three times.
The forecast called for increasing clouds, gusts and show-
ers this morning, with stronger storms likely to arrive around
noon.
Sure, we want it firm and fast, USGA vice president
Thomas OToole said Wednesday. We happen to play a sport
thats played outdoors. We received significant rain over the
last week and some tell us that well have even more sig-
nificant rain tomorrow. So its not a perfect world. Its not a
perfect game but we take what were dealt with.
Whether a golf course is big or small, soft greens typically
are a recipe for low scores. Then again, Merion is not a typical
golf course.
It measures 6,996 yards on the scorecard the shortest of
any major championship in nine years and has a stretch of
seven holes in the middle that are short even by yesterdays
standards. Compare those holes with the scorecard from when
Ben Hogan won the 1950 U.S. Open at Merion and four of
those holes were actually longer by a few yards in Hogans
day.
Players typically reach for the wedge to chip out of the
rough around the greens at the U.S. Open. At Merion, they
could be hitting wedge into the green for their second shot on
at least six holes. Thats what has caused all the clamor about
low scores.
And with the rain, its reminiscent of how Congressional
was vulnerable two years ago, when Rory McIlroy shattered
U.S. Open scoring records at 16-under 268.
Ive been reading about how many scoring records are
going to be broken, Nick Watney said. Ive been around
here once and I think thats insane. Its funny to me. People
look at the yardage and think its going to be easy. Even if its
soft, the greens are sloped. The rough is thick. OK, well have
wedges into some of the greens but that doesnt mean you
make birdie on all those holes. Theres enough tough holes to
counteract that.
Even so, the winning score has gone down in each of
the four previous U.S. Opens at Merion, from Olin Dutra at
13-over par in 1934 to David Graham winning at 7-under in
1981, the last time this major championship was here.
Where did David Graham shoot 7-under? From there?
Watney asked as he pointed the end of his driver to a spot
some 30 yards from where he was standing. Because he
didnt do it from here.
Watney was standing in the middle of the putting green.
He took three steps to his right and was standing on the 14th
tee. As an example of longer holes being made more difficult,
a new tee on the 464-yard hole is where members practice
putting.
The biggest fear with rain on the horizon is what will hap-
pen the rest of the week. The forecast is reasonable after today
but in soft conditions, balls start to pick up clumps of mud as
the sun starts to dry the course. And while players often are
allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairway
in muddy conditions on the PGA Tour, they dont do that at
the U.S. Open.
Remember, the USGA famously referred to the local rule
as lift, clean and cheat.
It all begins with Cliff Kresge hitting the opening shot of
the 113th U.S. Open at 6:45 a.m. today weather permitting,
of course.
Woods, McIlroy and Masters champion Adam Scott play
this afternoon in the power grouping of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in the
world. Sergio Garcia plays on the opposite side of the draw,
teeing off this morning. So does Phil Mickelson, who left
Philadelphia on Monday when the weather was bad to practice
in San Diego. He planned on being home, anyway, so he could
watch his oldest daughter graduate from the eighth grade.
Mickelson was scheduled to arrive about 4:15 a.m. today, just
three hours before his tee time.
Stricker called Merion the longest short course Ive ever
played. Graeme McDowell is another guy who isnt buying
into the fear over low scoring.
Everyone is saying that its going to be 62s and 63s on
this golf course, which I kind of disagree with at the minute,
McDowell added. I think 10 or 11 of these golf holes are as
tough as any U.S. Open Ive seen.
The lowest score in major championship history is 63 and
it has happened only four times in the U.S. Open Johnny
Miller at Oakmont in 1973 on a soggy course, Nicklaus and
Tom Weiskopf on the same day at Baltusrol in 1980 during
a wet week and Vijay Singh on a rain-softened course at
Olympia Fields in 2003.

College
It seems that Nathan Tilford, a wide receiver from Upland,
Calif., has been offered a scholarship and verballed to it by
the University of Southern California.
No big deal except for one simple fact Tilford is an incom-
ing freshman in HIGH SCHOOL.
Oy vay.
Of course, this is nothing new for Lance Kiffin: he got a
commit from David Sills in 2010 when the quarterback was 13.
He is soon to start his junior year at Eastern Christian
Academy.
Then there is this item about one Cory Hahn.
He was the 34th-round pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks
this summer.
Nothing interesting about that, right?
Heres where it does get intriguing.
You see, he wore number 34 for the Arizona State Sun Devils
but he will never play for the Diamondbacks.
You see, he is paralyzed after sliding head-first in a game
versus New Mexico in 2011.
The paradox is that he almost never slid head-first before but
he did this time.
In a classy move, the DBacks are negotiating with Hahn
and his agent about a role in the scouting or baseball operations
department.
His dream was to play at the major-league level but instead,
he has adjusted his dream to work at that same level.
He was ecstatic about being drafted, so its a positive all
around.
He also has a dream of walking again some day.
Good for him; I hope he gets there!

Back in High
School playing
with fre
Dear Annie: About a
year ago, I ran into a woman
I used to spend time with
in high school. We are both
married, although she is go-
ing through a divorce.
Since that day, she and
I have been talking quite a
bit. We discuss a lot of dif-
ferent things, all on a pla-
tonic level. The problem is,
I believe I am be-
coming infatuated
with her again. I
had a thing for her
throughout high
school but never
had the courage to
ask her out, prob-
ably because I was
too afraid to lose
our friendship.
I am now in a
situation where
I wont be home
for a few months.
I know I will miss
her communication. I feel
Im doing something wrong.
Is this normal? Do I need to
just keep my distance and
cease contact? Back in
High School
Dear Back: You recog-
nize that you are becom-
ing infatuated (we think
you are already there) and
will miss this womans com-
munication. The fact that she
is going through a divorce
also puts you in an awkward
position, because she may
lean on you for comfort, and
when she becomes available,
you will fnd her hard to re-
sist.
Please back far, far away
before you fnd yourself en-
meshed in an affair, whether
emotional or physical. If
your marriage needs revital-
izing, work on it. Consider
how your wife would feel
if she found out how close
you are to this other woman.
How would you feel if she
did this to you? You are play-
ing with fre. Stop.
Dear Annie: This sum-
mer, I have my concert tick-
ets ordered and am excited
to see some of my favorite
performers on stage. How-
ever, Im unsure of proper
etiquette after a problem I
encountered last year.
I went to a country con-
cert, which meant plenty of
beer and dancing. The prob-
lem was, as soon as the au-
dience stood up, the people
directly behind me started
yelling at my friend and me
to sit down. We did, but we
couldnt see a thing because
of the dozens of rows of
people standing in front of
us. We stood back up, only
to be yelled at again. I turned
around and explained that
everyone else was standing
and they should do the same.
They were angry and con-
tinued to yell throughout the
concert. After the concert,
they sarcastically thanked us
for ruining their night.
What is the right way
to handle people like this?
Should I sit and see nothing
because misery loves com-
pany? Juliana
Dear Juliana: Concerts
have evolved into two basic
types: The formal concert,
where everyone sits, and
the informal concert, where
people often stand. Once the
people in the rows ahead of
you get up, you
need to do the same
in order to see.
We have advised
people who attend
such concerts to
try to get seats in
the front row or
frst-row balcony
if they want their
view unobstructed.
Those who are in
wheelchairs of-
ten fnd there is a
handicapped sec-
tion, although it
may be necessary to fnd an
usher and inquire.
It is unrealistic at infor-
mal events to expect hun-
dreds of other people to sit
down for your convenience.
If this happens again, apolo-
gize to the people behind
you and suggest that they,
too, stand up or move closer
to the aisle for a better view.
You are not obligated to sit
if the people in front of you
are standing.
Dear Annie: An Anx-
ious Mom was reluctant
to give money from her
late husbands will to her
58-year-old unemployed son
who is living on his veterans
benefts. One of your sugges-
tions was to put the money in
a trust.
Please suggest she check
into creating a Special Needs
Trust for her son. If she
gives the money directly to
him, he will probably spend
it very quickly, but he could
also lose his VA benefts. She
will need to consult a lawyer
knowledgeable in these mat-
ters. M.

FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 2013
In the coming months, it might
not be such a bad idea to clear out
any deadwood within your circle
of friends, especially if there is a
troublemaker among the group. It
can result in happier relationships.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- In matters of small consequence,
youre not likely to pay much
attention to the details, but if
something is important, the opposite
will be true.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Dont be surprised if you dont grasp
the essence of an idea as quickly as
you usually do. Its one of those days
when your head is likely to be off in
the clouds.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It
behooves you to be more careful
concerning your possessions. Pay
attention not only to how you handle
them, but where you leave them,
even for just a minute.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Your friends and family will take
you at your word, so think twice
before speaking. What you consider
to be merely a comment might be
taken as a promise.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Since what you do and what you say
are likely to be two different things,
you could confuse people. Try to be
consistent with both your words and
your deeds.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Dont take well-meaning
friends financial tips as gospel.
Before making a major purchase or
investment, be sure you know what
youre getting into.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Instead of giving input on a
topic that you know little about, just
be a good listener. There is a strong
chance that if you flap your gums,
you will be challenged.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Be wary of anybody, even a
trusted friend, trying to pry some
confidential information out of you.
This persons motives might be
devious.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- It isnt a great idea to participate in
an expensive pastime with a friend
who is always reluctant to pay his
or her fair share. Why would you
expect something to change?
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- If you are having trouble making
an important decision, seek advice
from more than one person. Each
counselor might have some good
ideas, but not the complete answer.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Fortunately, youre prepared to work
hard, because advancing your career
might not be as easy as it usually is.
A strong, concerted effort will be
required.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Someone you know has been trying
to manipulate others into doing his
or her work. Dont fall prey to such
machinations, and try to put a stop
to them.

Clemente said employees of the Delphos store will have
the opportunity to be considered for positions at other ALCO
stores.
This is never an easy decision to make and we know it will
have an impact on the Delphos community. We wish to express
our thanks to the many friends that we have served over the
past several years and also thank the employees who have
served our company faithfully during that time, Clemente
added.
Plans are to hang a banner on the storefront on Monday
announcing a sale of 10 percent off on everything. The target
date for the stores closure is Aug. 26.
ALCO
Rist also announced
the library will have a tent
at Canal Days, from 12-4
p.m. Sept. 21 in front of the
Delphos Post Office.
In other news, the board
voted to give Fiscal Officer
Janet Bonifas permission
to submit the county bud-
get to both Allen and Van
Wert counties and to the
Delphos City Schools Board
of Education for approval.
The report consists of
2011 and 2012 actuals, 2013
numbers based on current
expenses and predictions for
2014, Bonifas said. We
will get a little increase in
support from local govern-
ment, so I added in $12,000
for that but other than that,
I kept it to what weve been
spending.
Library
NSA director: Programs
disrupted dozens of attacks
DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The
director of the National
Security Agency vigorously
defended once-secret surveil-
lance programs as an effec-
tive tool in keeping America
safe, telling Congress on
Wednesday that the informa-
tion collected disrupted doz-
ens of terrorist attacks without
offering details.
In his first congressional
testimony since revelations
about the top-secret opera-
tions, Army Gen. Keith
Alexander insisted that the
public needs to know more
about how the programs oper-
ate amid increasing unease
about rampant government
snooping and fears that
Americans civil liberties are
being trampled.
I do think its important
that we get this right and I
want the American people to
know that were trying to be
transparent here, protect civil
liberties and privacy but also
the security of this country,
Alexander told a Senate panel.
He described the steps the
government takes once it sus-
pects a terrorist organization is
about to act all within the
laws approved by Congress and
under stringent oversight from
the courts. He said the programs
led to disrupting or contribut-
ing to the disruption of terrorist
attacks, but he did not give
details on the terror plots.
Half a world away, Edward
Snowden, the former contractor
who fled to Hong Kong and
leaked documents about the
programs, said he would fight
any U.S. attempts to extradite
him. American law enforce-
ment officials are building a case
against him but have yet to bring
charges.
I am not here to hide from
justice; I am here to reveal
criminality, Snowden said of
the surveillance programs in
an interview with the South
China Morning Post.
In plain-spoken, measured
tones, Alexander answered
senators questions in an open
session and promised to pro-
vide additional information
to the Senate Intelligence
Committee in closed session
today. The director of national
intelligence has declassified
information on two thwarted
attacks one in New York,
the other in Chicago and
Alexander said he was press-
ing for more disclosures.
But he also warned that
revelations about the secret
programs have eroded agency
capabilities and, as a result,
the U.S. and its allies wont
be as safe as they were two
weeks ago.
House passes bill that would exempt foreign trades
WASHINGTON (AP)
The House passed legislation
Wednesday that would exempt the
trading of derivatives from federal
oversight if it occurs outside the
United States.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers
supported the carve-out on a 301-
124 vote.
Supporters say the exemption is
necessary to allow U.S. firms to
remain competitive in foreign mar-
kets. But opponents say the regula-
tions outside the U.S. tend to be
weaker and the exemption would put
the broader financial system at risk.
Derivatives are investments
whose value is based on some other
investment, such as oil and cur-
rencies. The market was largely
unregulated around the globe before
the 2008 financial crisis and con-
tributed to the meltdown.
The legislations prospects in the
Senate are uncertain. The White
House has signaled it would veto
the legislation.
Still, opponents said just its pas-
sage by the House could pressure
regulators to take a more lenient
approach in writing rules for over-
sight of foreign derivatives trading.
The White House said in a state-
ment Tuesday that House passage
of the bill would be premature and
disruptive to the regulators ongo-
ing efforts to write the rules.
The legislations primary authors
were House Republicans, who
opposed the 2010 financial overhaul
legislation, but many Democrats
endorsed it. A key thrust of the 2010
overhaul was to put new regulatory
reins on derivatives, traded in a $700
trillion global market that has largely
escaped supervision until now.
Derivatives are often used to
protect an investor against future
price fluctuations of an underlying
commodity or security. But they
also are used by financial firms to
make speculative bets, and they
have grown increasingly complex
and risky.
Five of the biggest U.S. banks
JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman
Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America
Corp., Citigroup Inc. and Morgan
Stanley account for more than
90 percent of total derivatives con-
tracts. A large proportion of deriva-
tives are traded outside the U.S.,
estimated by regulators at around
40 percent to 45 percent of the total.
The Commodity Futures Trading
Commission has proposed putting
under its supervision all derivatives
trading, including trading overseas.
But the Securities and Exchange
Commission has taken a narrower
approach, allowing overseas deriva-
tives trades to escape U.S. regulation
if the country in which they occur
has a rules system that is roughly
equivalent to that of the U.S.
The House bill would require the
two agencies to issue a joint rule.
And trading in the nine biggest for-
eign markets for derivatives would
be exempt from U.S. regulation.
That would drag that activ-
ity back into the shadows, said
Rep. Maxine Waters of California,
the senior Democrat on the House
Financial Services Committee, in
debate before the vote.
Well be put in the position
of bailing out failed institutions
all over again, Waters said. We
shouldnt have to rely on foreign
regulators to protect us.
Opponents pointed to the $182
billion federal bailout of American
International Group Inc. at the
height of the financial crisis the
largest for any company. AIG near-
ly collapsed because of its massive
derivatives bets on the housing mar-
ket. It has since repaid the bailout.
The new legislation would under-
mine the 2010 financial overhaul
and create a loophole big enough
to drive an AIG truck through, said
Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a New York
Democrat.
But a supporter, Rep. Randy
Neugebauer, R-Texas, said the bill
would bring some certainty to a
very uncertain process.
Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas,
the Financial Services panels chair-
man, said the nine countries where
trading would be exempt from U.S.
regulation have systems of rules for
derivatives that are closely equiva-
lent to the U.S.
Having certainty in the rules
would help companies that use
derivatives to hedge against risks,
Hensarling said, naming Molson
Coors Brewing Co., Southwest
Airlines Co. and tractor maker
Deere & Co. as examples. That
would help economic growth and
jobs, he said.
Ariel Castro pleads not guilty in Ohio kidnap case
CLEVELAND (AP) A man accused of holding three
women captive in his home for about a decade pleaded
not guilty Wednesday to hundreds of rape and kidnapping
charges, and the defense hinted at avoiding a trial with a
plea deal if the death penalty were ruled out.
The death penalty is in play because among the
accusations facing Ariel Castro, 52, is that he forced a
miscarriage by one of the women, which is considered a
killing under Ohio law. That charge doesnt include a pos-
sible death penalty, but a prosecutor has said thats under
review.
The women disappeared separately between 2002
and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. Each
said they had accepted a ride from Castro, who remained
friends with the family of one girl and even attended vigils
over the years marking her disappearance.
Castro, dressed Wednesday in an orange jail outfit with
his hands and ankles shackled and a full dark beard grown
in jail, kept his chin tucked on his chest through a brief
court appearance. He didnt speak or glance at his two
attorneys standing by his side.
Attorney Craig Weintraub acknowledged afterward that
certain charges in the indictment cannot be disputed and
said the defense was working to avoid an unnecessary
trial with a possible death penalty sentence.
Mr. Castro currently faces hundreds of years in prison
with the current charges, Weintraub said. It is our hope
that we can continue to work toward a resolution to avoid
having an unnecessary trial about aggravated murder and
the death penalty.
The prosecutors office will look at the defense remarks
but had no immediate comment, said Joe Frolik, spokes-
man for Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty.
The 329-count indictment returned Friday covered only
the period from August 2002, when the first of the women
disappeared, to February 2007. More charges could be filed.
Castro was indicted on 139 counts of rape, 177 counts
of kidnapping, seven counts of gross sexual imposition,
three counts of felonious assault and one count of pos-
session of criminal tools. He was also charged with two
counts of aggravated murder related to one act, saying he
purposely caused the unlawful termination of one of the
pregnancies of one of the women.
Michelle Knight, now 32, has told investigators Castro
punched her in the abdomen and starved her to force five
miscarriages, according to police reports.
Ohio enacted a fetal homicide law in 1996, making it
illegal to kill or injure a viable fetus. That law and similar
ones in 37 other states have been used mainly to win con-
victions in car crashes in which pregnant women died or in
cases involving attacks on expectant mothers.
In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court banned the death pen-
alty for child rapes in which no death occurred, spelling
out that a killing is the only crime eligible for the death
penalty outside of a crime against the state.
A death penalty case against Castro would raise seri-
ous legal questions about whether a murder has occurred
and whether such a death sentence complies with the
Supreme Court ruling, according to Richard Dieter, execu-
tive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Death Penalty
Information Center, which opposes capital punishment.
Weintraub, the defense attorney, said he expects a deci-
sion from prosecutors on the death penalty might hinge on
medical and forensic evidence, such as any fetal tissue that
may have been found at the home. Investigations havent
detailed what evidence was found.
The indictment alleges Castro repeatedly restrained the
women, sometimes chaining them to a pole in a basement,
to a bedroom heater or inside a van. It says one of the
women tried to escape and he assaulted her with a vacuum
cord around her neck.
A statement issued on behalf of the women said days
like the arraignment are not easy and added: We are
hopeful for a just and prompt resolution. We have great
faith in the prosecutors office and the court.
Castro has been held on $8 million bail.
He was arrested May 6, shortly after one of the women
broke through a door and yelled to neighbors for help.
She told a police dispatcher in a dramatic 911 call:
Help me. Im Amanda Berry. Ive been kidnapped, and
Ive been missing for 10 years, and Im, Im here, Im
free now.
Senate chief: Medicaid reform not part of budget
COLUMBUS (AP) Changes to
the Medicaid health program wont be
included in Ohios budget negotiations,
though a separate proposal aimed at
curbing the programs costs is expected
to be introduced in the Legislature as
soon as today, the state Senates leader
said.
Senate President Keith Faber, a
Celina Republican, offered few details
to reporters on Wednesday, though
he said the Medicaid reform bill was
bipartisan and has been worked on
jointly by both chambers.
Republican Gov. John Kasichs bud-
get proposal called for expanding the
Medicaid program to provide health
coverage to more low-income Ohioans.
But GOP leaders removed the idea from
the House version of the state spending
plan in April. Its since remained out of
the $61.7 billion, two-year budget.
Medicaid expansion is one of the key
components of Democratic President
Barack Obamas health care law.
Roughly 366,000 Ohioans would
be newly eligible for coverage begin-
ning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid,
the federal-state health program for the
poor that already provides care for one
of every five residents in the state.
The federal government would pay
the entire cost of the expansion for
the first three years, gradually phasing
down to 90 percent still well above
Ohios current level of 64 percent.
But some Republicans in the Ohio
Legislature say they fear being stuck
with long-term costs and are leery of
expanding government programs.
A key lawmaker who helped draft
the Medicaid reform plan described the
proposal as a starting point bill.
State Rep. Ron Amstutz, a Wooster
Republican, said the goal is make the
program more cost-effective while not
dropping anyone from the rolls.
Lawmakers also want to help pro-
vide a pathway for Medicaid beneficia-
ries to get health coverage elsewhere,
perhaps through the federal laws
new health insurance marketplaces or
through private coverage. And they
want to encourage individuals in the
program to access the states job train-
ing programs.
Amstutz, who is also the House
Finance Committee chairman, said if
lawmakers are successful in curbing
Medicaids costs, then they can weigh
whether to add people onto the pro-
gram.
Were trying to find that common
ground that will help us go forward,
he said. And we arent there yet, but
I think were making pretty good prog-
ress.
The federal law expanded Medicaid
to cover low-income people making up
to 138 percent of the federal poverty
level, or about $15,400 a year for an
individual. The provision mainly ben-
efits low-income adults who do not
have children and cant get Medicaid
in most states.
Amstutz said the proposal currently
makes no changes to Medicaid eligibil-
ity, and he could not yet say whether it

When severe weather hits the community, please check
on older neighbors, friends and relatives to make sure they
have the resources they need to stay safe and healthy until
conditions return to normal.
Communicate effectively
Always treat adults as adults. If someone isnt making
sense, dont assume its dementia. Dehydration, stress and
fatigue have similar symptoms.
Use a natural tone of voice and conversational style
of communication. Be calm and reassuring, speak slowly
and distinctly and make eye contact. Use positive language:
Instead of Dont suggest what they should do.
Ask open-ended questions. Instead of Are you stay-
ing warm/cool? ask What are you doing to stay warm/
cool today? Where will you go if the power does not
come back on tomorrow?
Dont ask testing or challenging questions.
Instead of Do you know your name? ask What would
you like me to call you? Instead of Do you know where
you are? say Im glad that I came to visit you at your
home today.
Dont correct an adult who appears to be confused.
For example, if the person calls you by someone elses
name, say I havent seen Joe lately but my name is
and Ill stay with you until your family comes by or Ill
call someone so Joe will know where you are. Avoid
arguing but validate feelings.
Do a risk assessment
While visiting, observe his or her surroundings and ask
questions that will help you determine if this person is
healthy and safe, or if he or she may need some assistance.
Does the person depend on oxygen?
Does he or she need help walking?
Does he or she need help getting to the bathroom?
Does he or she have skin that is greyish? (If so, he or
she may require medical attention.)
Also, check if individuals have what they will need for
the next several days, including water, non-perishable food,
temperature control and medications. Refrigerated food
should be thrown out after two hours without electricity.
Also, some medications may need to be refrigerated or
stored on ice to remain safe and effective.
Make sure they can get help
Make sure the person is able to call for help if he or
she needs it. Dont assume the persons phone is working:
check the connection and battery charge. Some may not
realize that cordless phones need electricity to work and/
or charge. Instead of asking, Do you have someone to
call if you need help? say, Show me how you would call
your daughter if you need her to come help, will be more
effective.
