ELIDAAfter the failure of another levy attempt earlier this month, Elida Local Schools Board of Education and administration are still attempting to find a funding strategy that will keep the district stable for the foreseeable future. State aid is not based on what it actually costs for our basic education; its not based on performance, even though weve been rated excellent three of the last five years. Treasurer Joel Parker said. I think our message to Matt Hoffman is that were still operating in a failed funding system. The disappointing part of it is were still over-reliant on property taxes and that has nothing to do with how well were performing. In a private business, if youre performing well, things go well and revenue goes up. In our case, we can perform really well, go to state twice, and theres no reflection of that in the funding formula, of academic success or success out of the classroom. Weve got to put together a five year strategic plan thats going to have us going in the right direction. In subsequent board meetings, board members Brian Anders and Brad Settlage have opined that the May primary was too soon to put another issue on the ballot, after the districts last request failed in November. Anders reiterated these sentiments during a discussion over Parkers 5-year financial forecast. Theres not a deficit until fiscal year 2016, according to this. Why was it so important that we put the levy on this May? he asked. We couldve waited. Board member Brenda Stocker stated the forecasted carryover for fiscal year 2015 puts the district in danger. Why would we want to have less than a 60-day carryover? Thats the standard. A 60-day carryover is $3.5 million, she said. The standard is you want to have a big enough carryover so that you dont have to borrow money. Were a business in that sense. We have to have those safeguards in place. Anders, along with Settlage, has stated in past meetings that voters will not pass a levy until changes are made to district leadership. LaRee Little, a fourth-generation Elida graduate, Elida resident and former educator and administrator for the district, weighed in on the subject during public participation. See ELIDA, page 12

State identifies new 70 mph speed zones

Information submitted COLUMBUS The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) today unveiled a map identifying interstate highway locations where motorists will be legally permitted to drive 70 miles per hour beginning this summer. The new designations follow recently passed legislation permitting speeds to increase from 65 to 70 mph on certain sections of interstate highways. H.B. 51 the states transportation budget bill, which goes into effect on July 1, 2013 increased speeds to 70 miles per hour on interstates that are outside urbanized areas.

And according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 34 other states in the nation have some posted speed limits of 70 miles per hour or higher including Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky and West Virginia. ODOT is making 317 new signs to comply with the legislation and to alert motorists to the increased speed at a total cost of $8,287.19. The signs are expected to be in place and revealed on July 1. 8 are Reduced Speed Ahead signs 48 are brand new speed limit signs 261 are sign pieces that will simply overlay the current 65 number with the new speed limit The new law increases the speed on 570 miles out of 1,332 miles of interstate highways in Ohio.

Feds to run high-risk plan in Ohio

Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Federal and Ohio officials couldnt agree on spending for a state-run stopgap health insurance plan that covers Ohioans who cant get coverage elsewhere, so the U.S. government will take it over, state officials said Tuesday. The program, part of President Barack Obamas health care law, is meant to be a temporary patch until 2014, when the federal law will require insurers to accept all applicants, regardless of medical history. The law capped spending on the program nationally at $5 billion, and the money is running out because the beneficiaries turned out to be costlier to care for than expected. Last month, the Obama administration gave proposed contract terms for the programs remaining months to the statebased plans. If no agreement could be reached, the federal government would take over that states program for the rest of this year. The administrator of Ohios program requested more funding but it was denied, Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor wrote in a letter Tuesday to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Taylor, the states most vocal critic of the federal health care law, also wrote that she was concerned about the impact that the shift to a federally run program could have on residents. Changes to benefits, treatment plans, deductibles, access to provider networks, and a potential lapse in coverage later in 2013 could harm consumers relying on the high-risk pool for their health care needs, wrote Taylor, who is also the states insurance director. The federal proposal was about $12 million less than what was needed to ensure that those with serious medical problems could maintain their benefits, Ohio estimated. Messages seeking comment were left Tuesday with HHS. The program, the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, targets patients who applied for insurance but were turned down because of such pre-existing conditions as cancer or heart disease. States and local nonprofits in 27 states administer the program, while the federal government runs the remaining plans. About 100,000 people participate nationwide. Medical Mutual of Ohio, a nonprofit insurance company, administers the states program. It covers more than 3,500 people.

Since Indianapolis in known for racing, Ringwalds theme was Race to Success. At first when I competed, I thought I didnt do very well, but after finding out that I placed in the top 12, I was overjoyed. The best part of it was going on stage, receiving my award and making my teacher, Mrs. DeWert, proud of me, said Ringwald. Last year, I went to nationals only as a voting delegate. I wanted to compete so badly, so I set a goal for myself to do well enough at regional and state contests this year so I could go to nationals and compete. Graphic Design Promotion is a very stiff competition at all three levels - regional, state and national. Tressa is a very dedicated individual and I could not be more proud of Tressa for her accomplishments, Jill DeWert said. Eight other Vantage students also competed at nationals.

Days filled with extra cleaning, gardening

BY LOVINA EICHER This is Tuesday evening around 10 p.m. Its late and I should join the rest of the family and go to bed. It seems our days are extra filled with all the extra cleaning we are doing plus gardening. Tonight we were out in the garden planting until 8:30 p.m. We planted 92 tomato plants. I am glad we waited to plant as we had 29 degrees yesterday morning. It seems very empty tonight as daughter Lovina went home from school with a friend. Only one person missing makes such an empty spot. I often think of families that lose a child or parent and the emptiness that must be felt in the house. It will be 3 years next week that sister Emma and Jacobs little 8-month-old Marilyn was laid to rest. We still have precious memories of her short stay here on Earth. Gods ways are not our ways. Our children are a gift to us from God and only He knows when He wants them back in His care. Mother would always tell us to pray daily before and after the birth of each child. Who can help us better than God to raise our dear children in this world so full of hate and sin? Today, we were cleaning in the basement again. We were gathering things we dont use or need. Im hoping I can have a garage sale next week to get rid of the extras. The basement seems to be our place to accumulate so much. Since we skipped having church services here a year ago because of the fire we never did give the basement a thorough cleaning. With the heating stove down there all winter it accumulates dust. The water that was sprayed from the fire in the boys bedroom seeped all the way to the basement making black markings here and there. Thursday will be the wedding for Joel and Alma. Susans suit is all done. Meanwhile, a friend from church is helping out by sewing daughter Elizabeths cape and apron for her suit. Elizabeth was able to sew the dress but

the wedding day was coming up too fast for her to get the other items done. Daughter Lovina will have her 9th birthday on Saturday, May 18. She is excited about that and is having her school friends over on Monday, May 20 for a sleepover. She already has the evening planned. How could nine years have passed so quickly? We had only been living in Michigan for eight weeks before she was delivered by emergency C-section three weeks before her due date. I didnt even have a doctor here in Michigan yet so we had some anxious moments. God once again had His protecting hand over us. Our sympathy goes to Arlene from Dayton, Va. She was here for a visit last fall along with her parents, Uncle, Aunt, and cousin Sharon. Sharon is a pen pal with daughter Elizabeth. Arlene was married on April 10 to Aaron. On April 30, Arlene found her husband had passed away in his sleep. How shocking this had to be for her and everyone in the community. May God give her strength and comfort to go on through this trial in her life.

Liberty-Benton whitewashes Wildcats in its season-ender

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com KALIDA Kalida veteran baseball coach Jim McBride was looking to use Tuesday nights home finale versus Liberty-Benton as a tune-up for tonights Elida Division IV District semifinal versus St. Johns, save for using his top two pitchers. Unfortunately, the Eagles who have already been eliminated from the tournament were looking to end their 2013 spring season well by sending out their eight seniors on a winning note and were throwing their ace, Jared Neiling. The Eagles rode the 4-hit shutout of Neiling (7-1; 5 strikeouts) to an 11-0 5-inning triumph. Thats what you get when they throw their ace and we keep ours out. One might say its what you expect but I am never happy with a loss, especially at home, McBride explained. I was disappointed with our effort tonight. Were a young team overall, playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores, but 21 games into the season, thats no excuse anymore. Were a District-level team that didnt show it tonight and I dont like how we dont play well consistently; at times, we show signs but at others, we dont. Eagle coach Jim Rucki was pleased with sophomore right-hander accounted for the 7-0 score. Senior Robb Kleman got aboard on a 1-out strikeout in the dirt in the Kalida fourth. Benton finished it with a 4-run fifth on five hits including a run-scoring double by Jordan Harpst and RBI knocks by Kenny Phi and pinch-hitter Anthony Webb plus a sacrifice fly by Neiling that made it 11-0. Senior Kyle Vorst singled to right center in the Kalida fifth but got no farther.

his teams approach. We had to wait a week to play this game after we got knocked out of the tournament and you never know how your guys will react, he added. We struggled to have good practices this week but we came out ready to go. I was pleased with that; the kids wanted to go out well and we did. LB left a runner on in the first. Kalida got a leadoff single by freshman Brent Hovest (2-for-3) but he was caught stealing with one out. The visitors (22-4) broke through in the top of the second inning against junior starter Randy Zeller (0-3) on a hit (Alex Harter; 2-for-4), a hit batter (Andrew Kotey), a forceout at second by Brandon Samuels and a ground ball by Kenny Phi, scoring Harter

for a 1-0 lead. The Eagles left the bases full. Freshman Trent Gerding lined a 2-out single in the bottom half. Kalida turned a double play in the Eagle third. In the home half, Kyle Vorst got aboard on a 1-out error and Hovest singled sharply up the gut. Freshman Austin Swift grounded out to advance both runners but to no avail. Liberty broke it open with a 6-run fourth on a leadoff 3-base error on a fly ball hit by Kotey and then added five hits and a hit batter. The big blow was a bases-clearing double to the gap in right center by Austin Ingleston (2-for-4, 3 runs batted in) that chased Zeller (for Colton Farrell) and made the score 6-0. A run-scoring single by Harter the ninth batter of the frame that greeted the

Smith makes headlines heading into Hall vote

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. Bruton Smith just cant help himself sometimes. The eccentric track owner this week suggested he might move a race away from Charlotte Motor Speedway at the exact same time a committee is considering electing him into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. When the 54 voters cast their ballots today, it will be impossible to overlook Smiths most recent headline-grabbing stunt. He told Charlotte television station WBTV on Monday theres a 70 percent chance hell move the October race at Charlotte to his Las Vegas property. He backtracked Tuesday in a statement that indicated his comments were out of anger in his fight with Cabarrus County over taxes. No final decision has been made regard-

ing any race date move and I have not discussed this with NASCAR, he asserted, before listing $100 million in improvements at CMS the past six years. Weve done this without asking for a handout from the government, like weve seen from so many other sports facilities, teams or franchises, and yet at the same time property values are falling during the recession, our Cabarrus County taxes have doubled since 2005.

Super Bowl L goes to San Francisco Bay Area

By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press BOSTON The NFL will celebrate its 50th Super Bowl in northern California, where its newest, most high-tech venue is being built. That makes South Florida, in the midst of a spat over expensive stadium renovations, a loser for the 2016 game. And Miami took a double defeat when Houston was awarded the 2017 championship game. In two separate votes, NFL owners Tuesday went with the both San Francisco Bay Area and Houston on the first ballot at their spring meetings. The 49ers new home is set to open next year in Santa Clara and will host the first Super Bowl in the area since 1985. Houston staged the 2004 Super Bowl. Miami has hosted 10 of them including the Jets upset of the Colts in 1969 and is tied with New Orleans for the most. But South Florida got rejected twice after the Florida Legislature did not support financing to renovate Sun Life Stadium. We are so excited to be able to be able to put on the Golden Super Bowl in the Golden State, 49ers CEO Jed York said. They will stage it in what is being promoted as the most technologically advanced stadium in the world and earned that right on a day when the NFL made a $400 million deal with Microsoft to upgrade the fan viewing experience. Levis Stadium figures to be the first cashless, ticketless venue in NFL championship history, with WiFi capability for 75,000 people. After losing a Super Bowl (to Baltimore last February), it feels really good to win a Super Bowl, York cracked. Houston hosted once before, in 2004, and is calling the 51st Super Bowl an international experience that will include fans from Mexico. I think a lot of them just felt like, hey, its Houstons time, Texans owner Robert McNair said of his colleagues. They knew we could do a good job. From 2004 to 17, thats 13 years. So I agree, I think its Houstons time. The only previous Super Bowl played in northern California was at Stanford Stadium in 1985. When NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the 2016 decision, members of the San Francisco bid committee let out a roar of approval, then toasted each other with champagne. It was the first time in a decade that a Super Bowl was awarded on the first ballot. The Bay Area has been waiting for a (title) game since 1985. We have a stadium now we are just thrilled and couldnt be happier about this, said Daniel Lurie, a leader of the San Francisco bid. We are going to get to highlight the best the Bay Area has to offer. That includes donating 25 percent of the proceeds from the stadium construction in Atlanta. The multi-purpose stadium could cost as much as $1 billion, with team owner Arthur Blank committed to funding most of it. Blank, speaking at the NFLs spring meetings, called the decision by the team owners an important milestone in moving the project forward. The owners also approved financing for renovations of stadiums in Charlotte and Philadelphia. Speaking with reporters after the votes, Goodell added: The draft will be held between May 8-17 next year because the venue, Radio City Music Hall, is hosting an Easter show in April. He expects the draft will remain in May, with other adjustments to the NFLs calendar, including the dates for the combine and the opening of free agency, to be discussed with the players union. A third international game in upcoming seasons could be added now that both games for 2013 in London have sold out. The Pro Bowl could be moved from Hawaii back to mainland cities after the 2014 game but will remain on the Sunday one week before the Super Bowl. Expanding the playoffs and cutting two games off the preseason still are being discussed. A reduced preseason could happen with either the current 16-game regular season or with an 18-game schedule. NFL, Xbox enhancing interactive television viewing:

game to fight poverty in the San Francisco Bay Area, York added. The Dolphins were denied public money for a stadium upgrade in South Florida following widespread complaints about the public investment sunk into the Marlins new baseball home. Multi-billionaire Dolphins owner Stephen Ross contends $350 million in stadium improvements are badly needed but he doesnt want to pay for them by himself. Nor does he want a scaled-down renovation of the 26-year-old facility. Goodell said some owners privately told him they were concerned with the stadium situation in Miami. For years, it was thought the NFL would seek to stage the 50th Super Bowl in Los Angeles, where the first one was played (but did not sell out) on Jan. 15, 1967. But with no franchise in LA and no suitable stadium projects approved, that hope disappeared. Next Feb. 2, the game goes outdoors in a cold-weather site for the first time, at MetLife Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands. The 2015 game will be played in the Phoenix area. Earlier Tuesday, owners approved a $200 million loan for

Imagine Sean Payton holding up a Surface tablet instead of a cardboard playsheet on the sideline. Envision Peyton Manning sitting on the bench and dissecting the last series from a variety of camera angles on his hand-held device instead of looking at still photos. Or sitting at home and pulling up real-time highlights on a Sunday afternoon. Its coming. The NFL and Microsoft, through its next generation Xbox device, are combining to upgrade interactive TV viewing of pro football games in a multi-year agreement announced Tuesday. The next step after that, perhaps as early as 2014, will be bringing technology to the sidelines on tablets. The deal is worth $400 million over five years for the NFL, according to a person familiar with the agreement. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because financial details have not been made public. Fans will get new television viewing innovations including the ability to watch games, Skype video chat with other fans, view statistics, access highlights in real time and gather fantasy information about players and teams all on a single screen. For those who prefer multiple screens, fans can get an even deeper experience on mobile devices and tablets with SmartGlass technology. Such technology is expected to keep fans not one step but several strides ahead of whats being presented live on TV now. Consider that a Bears fan in Chicago could be watching his team take on the Giants at Soldier Field while conversing visually with a friend in New York on the same screen. Also on that screen could be all pertinent statistics for the game, access to NFL Red Zone and to replays from the Giants-Bears matchup. Plus and perhaps as significant as anything to the NFL given the popularity of fantasy football real-time updated stats from around the league. Call it seamless fantasy integration with the real product. Branding of Microsoft products on the hoods of the referees on-field instant replay station and other sideline areas will begin this season. In coming years, coaches or coordinators figure to have Surface tablets to aid in-game planning and for play calling.

Experienced Heat, upstart Pacers ready to go Leakes pitching, Wrights

E send Reds past Mets
By BEN WALKER The Associated Press NEW YORK Mike Leake pitched 3-hit ball for seven sharp innings and the Cincinnati Reds parlayed star third baseman David Wrights early error Tuesday night into a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets. Devin Mesoraco homered as the Reds won for the ninth time in 11 games. They scored three times in the first inning after Wright let a bases-loaded, 2-out grounder skip through his legs. Leake (4-2) struck out four, walked two and became the latest pitcher to shut down the Mets at Citi Field. New York has lost 10-of-12 at home, rarely scoring many runs. Leake escaped his biggest jam by retiring slumping Ike Davis on a grounder with runners on second and third to end the fourth. The Associated Press MIAMI Dwyane Wades rookie season ended with a playoff loss to the Indiana Pacers. The next year, the Miami Heat were headed to the Eastern Conference finals and certain that an NBA championship was in their sights. Thats when Wade learned a valuable lesson: Never take playoff chances for granted. Wade hurt his rib cage on a simple crossover dribble during that 2005 East title series and the Heat season ended with a Game 7 home loss to Detroit. Hes been to the East finals three times since, prevailing in them all, and today will look to take a first step toward a fourth conference championship when the Heat play host to the Pacers in Game 1 of their playoff rematch from a year ago. I know Im blessed to be going to the Eastern Conference finals for my fifth time, Wade said. But I would like a lot more in my career. Its a good thing. Weve been very successful in my tenure here. But I want more. For Wade and Udonis Haslem, this marks five East finals appearances in nine years. For LeBron James, its a fifth trip to this round in the past seven years, now three straight with Miami after a pair of trips to the East finals with Cleveland. For Ray Allen, its a fourth East title-round trip in six years, the first three of those coming with Boston. Experience, it all favors Miami. For the Pacers, this is pretty much uncharted waters. Only one current Pacers player has ever appeared in a conference-final game and that was backup big man Ian Mahinmi, who played exactly 71 seconds in one game of the 2011 West title series without so much as taking a shot. Nonetheless, the Pacers seem far from bothered by the fact that this stage is a new place for them. Theres four teams left playing basketball in the NBA and this is something weve been looking forward to all year, Pacers forward David West said. We lost to this team in the second round last year, so weve already gotten a step farther this season. Indiana took Miami to six games last season, leading the series 2-1 at one point, and left an impact on the Heat with words, actions and play. The series was always physical, at times bloody, and it took some superb efforts by Wade and James for Miami which was without Chris Bosh for 5 1/2 of those six games to put the Pacers away. Its not in the nature of either of these teams to back down from physicality and tough play will almost certainly be a theme in this series. But if theres one thing the Pacers and Heat agree upon, its that this series will be decided by execution, not intimidation. I think this will be about substance, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. This series has plenty to offer without hard The 25-year-old righty has never pitched a shutout in the majors and was pulled for reliever Sam LeCure to begin the eighth. LeCure and Logan Ondrusek each threw a hitless inning to complete the shutout. Jonathon Niese (3-5) wasnt charged with an earned run but he hurt himself with continuing control troubles. He walked three, all on full counts in the opening inning. Niese set down the first two batters of the night before Joey Votto walked, Brandon Phillips looped a single and Jay Bruce walked. Todd Frazier followed with a hard grounder right at Wright and the ball bounced under his glove and let two runs score. Earlier this season, Wright ran his errorless streak to 77 games, a team record for third basemen. See REDS, page 8

fouls and trash-talking. Its going to be about basketball. The Heat are overwhelming favorites, at least according to the Las Vegas oddsmakers, who apparently arent putting much stock in that it was the Pacers who prevailed in two of the three meetings between the teams this season. In turn, the Heat arent putting much stock in expectations. Even though its starting to seem like an annual event, getting to the conference final round, Heat players insist that its still as big a deal now as it ever was. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was an assistant on that team Shaquille ONeals initial season in Miami that fully expected to be Finals-bound in 2005. Then Wade got hurt and everything changed. Wade isnt 100 percent this time around either, though has said in recent days that his bruised right knee is good enough for him to play. He doesnt even plan on missing any more practice time this season. The Pacers have some mild injury concerns as well, with West dealing with an injury to his lower right leg and 7-2 center Roy Hibbert needing a tape job on his right thumb after a hit in practice earlier this week. Theyre both expected to play today. Cavaliers win NBA draft lottery again NEW YORK Nick Gilbert and the Cleveland Cavaliers have beaten the NBA lottery odds again. The Cavaliers won the lottery for the second time in three years Tuesday, giving them the No. 1 pick for the June 27 draft. Gilbert, owner Dan Gilberts bowtiewearing son, was on stage for another the victory. After he won it in 2011, the Cavs used the pick to take eventual Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving. The Orlando Magic fell back one spot to No. 2, while the Washington Wizards vaulted from the No. 8 spot to third. Ten years after winning the lottery

that landed them LeBron James, the Cavaliers picked up another opportunity to help speed up the rebuilding process since his departure to Miami in 2010. The potential No. 1 pick this year, Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel, is no James. But he could be a nice addition for the Cavs once hes recovered from a torn ACL if they keep the pick. They also have Nos. 19, 31 and 33 for new coach Mike Brown, who they rehired after firing Byron Scott following a 24-58 season. The Cavs entourage all wearing wine-colored bowties as well celebrated their latest victory, which came with 15.6-percent odds after they finished with the NBAs third-worst record at 24-58. Not even having 4-time winner Pat Williams on stage and 25 percent odds could get the No. 1 pick for the Magic. The team with the best odds hasnt won since 2004, when Orlando won for the third time with Williams representing them and drafted Dwight Howard. The franchise hadnt been back since 2006. Even heading back to their Hornets name couldnt change the luck of the Bobcats, who were lottery losers for the second straight year. Hours after owner Michael Jordan announced they were planning to get back the original nickname of the Charlotte franchise, the Bobcats fell from No. 2 to the fourth spot. The lottery sets the top three teams and the remainder of the 14 teams finish in inverse order of their record. Phoenix will pick fifth, followed by New Orleans, Sacramento, Detroit, Minnesota, Portland, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Utah. The Thunder got the Raptors pick as payment of a previous trade because it didnt move into the top three. Guards Ben McLemore of Kansas and Trey Burke of Michigan, the college player of the year, and Georgetown forward Otto Porter Jr. are considered other top available players.

Tigers topple Indians 5-1

By TOM WITHERS The Associated Press CLEVELAND Miguel Cabrera hit a 2-run homer and Max Scherzer retired 22 straight batters after the first inning, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 5-1 win over Cleveland on Tuesday night to stop the Indians winning streak at five and trim their lead in the AL Central. Cabreras laser shot in the sixth inning off Corey Kluber (3-3) helped the Tigers win for just the second time in six games. The defending AL champions also moved within 1 1/2 games of the first-place Indians, who have won 18-of23 since April 28. Scherzer (6-0) gave up two singles and a run in the first before shutting down baseballs hottest team for eight innings. The right-hander walked just one and struck out seven, including the final four he faced. Scherzers 118th and last pitch was his fastest a 98-mph heater to fan Drew Stubbs. Scherzer gave the Tigers a much-needed outing and set the stage for Cy Young winner Justin Verlander, who will pitch tonight.

Andy Dirks hit a solo homer in the sixth and had two RBIs as Detroit won the first game of the short, showdown series. In the first, Scherzer was touched for a leadoff single by Michael Bourn, a 1-out base hit by Asdrubal Cabrera and a hard-hit sacrifice fly by Michael Brantley before he made the Indians look silly. He mixed his pitches, had Clevelands hitters offbalance and grew stronger as the game went on. Scherzer, who won five straight starts before getting a no-decision in his last outing against Houston, didnt get much support but was so good he didnt need it. See INDIANS, page 8

Niese struck out Leake to end an inning in which he threw 48 pitches. Mesoraco hit reliever Collin McHughs first pitch in the ninth for his second home run. Votto extended his hitting streak to 10 games while Bruces string ended at 11. NOTES: Reds SS Zack Cozart returned to the lineup after missing two games because of a stomach illness. Reds CF Shin-Soo Choo got a day off. Mets ace RHP Matt Harvey (5-0, 1.55 ERA) starts this afternoon vs. RHP Mat Latos (4-0, 2.91). The win made the Reds 146-145 all-time when visiting the Mets, including games at the Polo Grounds, Shea Stadium and Citi Field. Niese struck out seven. He has walked 27 and fanned 31 this season. The Mets have scored three runs or less in nine straight home games.

(Continued from page 6) Munoz remembers it well. Back then, he was just a kid watching his childhood racing idol on TV and savoring every precious moment of a memorable victory that sent Colombians pouring into the streets. It was enough to convince Munoz then that he could one day follow in Montoyas footsteps. He just never dreamed their paths would be so similar. Like Montoya in 2000, Munoz came to the historic track with one of the big-name teams in American open-wheel racing. Montoya drove for Chip Ganassi, Munoz is working for Michael Andretti. Like Montoya in 2000, Munoz is the fastest rookie in the field at 228.342 mph. Like Montoya in 2000, Munoz will start second, the middle of the front row. And in Colombia, his ability to find speed certainly has raised expectations. Before coming here, my main goal was to the Indy Lights championship, said Munoz, who has started on the front row of every Lights race. Right now, Im the championship leader, so Im saying I have to win Indy Lights first and Im not putting any pressure on me to win it (the 500). For Munoz, this May could not have gone any better. He passed his rookie test on opening day. A little more than 24 hours later, he posted the fastest lap in Indy practice. He spent the rest of the week near the top of the speed charts and when qualifying began Saturday, Munoz and his four better-known teammates Marco Andretti, Canadas James Hinchcliffe, defending series champ Ryan Hunter-Reay and Venezuelas E.J. Viso were all considered front-runners in the battle to win the pole. Somehow, Munoz wound up the top qualifier of the Andretti five after the 9-car pole shootout. Dalys month couldnt have gone much worse. The problems began after Daly missed the first two days of Indy practice so he could race in Spain, then returned to Indy late Sunday only to learn that someone had lost his

Kluber went right at Mr. Triple Crown his first two times up and retired Cabrera on a grounder to third in the first and routine fly to center in the fourth. But in the sixth, Cabrera did what he does best. Dirks opened the inning with his fifth homer, a drive into the right-field seats to tie it 1-all. Torii Hunter followed with a double that one-hopped the wall in right, bringing up Cabrera with first base open. Indians manager Terry Francona elected to have Kluber to pitch to Cabrera, who rocketed an 0-1 fastball over the center-field fence to give the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Detroit added two runs in the ninth on RBI

singles by Dirks and Prince Fielder. The Indians were missing first baseman Nick Swisher, who was placed on the paternity list before the game after his wife, JoAnna, gave birth to the couples first child. With Swisher out, Brantley batted cleanup for the first time this season and his sacrifice fly in the first gave the Indians a 1-0 lead. Bourn led off with a grounder through the box off Scherzer and raced to third on Asdrubal Cabreras broken-bat single with one out. Brantley followed with a liner to right-center that was run down by Hunter but was deep enough to score the speedy Bourn easily. That was it for the Indians, though, as Scherzer shut them down.

his interest was piqued. So Smith tried to promote a second race and made a little more money, correcting the mistakes hed made in his first outing. By the time he promoted his third event, he was hooked. Making money can be quite habit forming, Smith said. He soon began working with France in promoting races for the fledgling National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing,and Smith built his first permanent motorsports facility Charlotte Motor Speedway, which opened for business in June 1960 with NASCARs first 600-mile race. It was hot. God it was hot, Smith replied when asked his memory of that first event. But he also takes pride in that when he opened Charlotte, he did it with a bang: The World 600 was the longest race thered never been anything like it. It had the largest purse, $100,000, and nobody had ever heard of a purse of $100,000 for a stock car race. But we wanted to be the biggest and we wanted to be something special. So thats what we did. Only he was $400,000 in debt to his creditors after building the track and Smith was unable to get any loans; he went into bankruptcy reorganization and SMI emerged debt-free. He was off and running from there, building a portfolio of eight tracks that currently host 13 races on the Sprint Cup schedule. And SMI has set the gold standard in amenities and fan experience because of the vision Smith has had. Smith pours money into his tracks, paying for upgrades at outdated facilities and finding ways to enhance the fan experience. He was the first promoter to

install permanent lights for a NASCAR race and bought Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee and transformed it into a must-visit event. Smith made enemies along the way and sparred often with Bill France Jr. during his reign as head of NASCAR. He told The Associated Press his greatest regret in racing is letting France Jr. roll over him at a time they could have formed a partnership. Smith claims the late France Jr. asked to speak to him during an event at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and asked Smith to help me build NASCAR. I said to him, Billy, what the hell do you think Ive been doing all these years? Smith recalled. Ill always regret that I did not drive a harder bargain with Billy. I helped him with no compensation. As a result, Smiths status in NASCAR has never changed: hes viewed as just another track promoter. Only hes got the biggest mouth, the fattest checkbook and the ability to push every button in the NASCAR hierarchy. The at-track experience is what it is today because of Smith and the initiatives SMI has taken has pushed NASCAR sister company Speedway Motorsports Inc. to up its game, too. And thats what is most important to Smith. I wanted race fans, when they come to a race, a year or two later they may not remember who won that day, Smith added. But they are going to remember the pre-race show, they are going to remember their experience at the track and what was good and what worked and what didnt work. That has always been our goal to make sure the fans had the time of their lives at the track.

Check out how Consumer Reports rates diet plans

MyFitnessPal, a free smart phone app and website, got one of the top satisfaction scores in Consumer Reports recent diet ratings. And while Weight Watchers is still the peoples choice, chosen by four out of 10 Consumer Reports readers, its scoring on satisfaction is not as impressive as MyFitnessPal. This year, Consumer Reports tapped its large readership to rate diets. In fact, the survey of 9,376 readers is one of the largest ever done on specific diets. The results reflect the broadening landscape of diets that subscribers reported using. In 2011, the last time Consumer Reports rated diets, it based the Ratings on the results of clinical trials and a nutritional analysis. The survey garnered enough responses to rate 13 diets representing two categories, commercial plans and do-ityourself (DIY) plans. In the commercial category, Weight Watchers received one of the top reader scores (74), followed by Medifast (70), Jenny Craig (66) and Nutrisystem (56). In terms of initial weight loss, Medifast was the only commercial plan to receive an above average rating. In fact, dieters said they lost more weight on the low-calorie Medifast program than any other diet rated by Consumer Reports: a typical weight loss of 20 to 43 pounds for men and 14 to 40 pounds for women. Weight Watchers received top scores for allowing a variety of foods and for encouraging calorie awareness, exercise and consumption of fruits and vegetables. Of the nine DIY plans, MyFitnessPal received an overall satisfaction score of 83 and top marks for maintenance, calorie awareness and food variety. The Paleo Diet, which instructs dieters to eat like a caveman, received an 80 score, followed by the Mediterranean Diet (77) and SparkPeople (76) which, like MyFitnessPal, is an app and website. The report notes that readers gave high marks to the diets that helped them maintain weight loss and that prescribed lifestyle changes that were easy to make.

Some takeaways from the report: -- Keep expectations in check. Medical consultants say that dieters often overestimate how much weight they can realistically lose, perhaps not realizing that dropping as little as 5 to 10 percent of their starting weight can pay real health dividends. -- Tracking calories and physical activity helps. Experts say keeping track of your exercise and calories is hugely helpful. Eighty-seven percent of those who relied on MyFitnessPal said they Distributed by Universal UClick for UFS used it to record what they ate, as did 81 percent of readers who used Kayak Pools is looking for Demo Homesites to display our SparkPeople.

Weight Watchers members can find (52925) weight, food and exercise trackers on its website and also through an Discount Code:897D56 897D01

app. Not surprisingly, respondents gave those diets top marks for calorie awareness. -- Get the most out of Weight Watchers. A whopping 43 percent of respondents said they signed up for Weight Watchers and about two-thirds of them said they attended Weight Watchers in-person group meetings. The others followed the diet online only. Those readers who attended meetings had slightly higher overall satisfaction scores, and a much higher percentage who went to the meetings reported that (Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams.com or to Smart Weight Watchers had taught them selfcontrol strategies.

Some Distributed by Universal UClick for UFS diets on Consumer Reports list are built around eliminating or severely restricting major categories of food. Those include the Atkins Diet, the Paleo Diet, the initial stages of the South Beach Diet and the catch-all category of generic low-carb diet. Of those, the Paleo Diet was the best-liked, with reader satisfaction scores significantly higher than for the others.

DEAR BRUCE: My husband and I are try- BRUCE WILLIAMS ing to retire but did not manage to save enough to supplement our Social Security pensions. We have three small IRAs, but they will not last long enough. We are contemplating getting a reverse mortgage on our home. It is worth about $300,000, and we have a line of credit on it of about $49,000, which would be deducted from the amount of the reverse mortgage. Is this a wise choice for us? I am 67, and my husband is 72. We would need to use only $20,000 a year from this mortgage to afford us the quality of life to which we are accustomed. Please advise us on this matter, as we find your advice to others very wise. -- P.D., via email DEAR P.D.: You are considering a reverse mortgage net of about $250,000 ($300,000, minus the $49,000 line of credit), which would probably give you no more than $125,000 on the reverse mortgage. That would give you about $20,000 a year for perhaps eight years, considering the interest on the investment. Then what? Thats the problem. A reverse mortgage could be a short-term solution, but its not a long-term one. Another option would be to sell the house, rent a place and walk out with $250,000. Invested at 7 percent, this could give you $15,000 to $18,000 a year income without attacking principal. While you may not be happy about selling the house, it seems to me that now would be the time to unload it and invest the money. This might change your style of living, but wouldnt it be better to consider that now than to take the reverse mortgage, dissipate the money and then be out of options? For a lot of people, a reverse mortgage is a good answer, but I dont think in your case it is the way to go. DEAR BRUCE: My daughter is 40 years old and single. She lives in Michigan and has had a good job for 20 years. She purchased a condo 12 years ago, on which she owes $74,000. Her condo fees are $160 a month. There are 40 units in this association. She was told only 12 to 15 of these units pay the dues. Her condo is now assessed at $20,000. Many people are subletting or walking away. Pretty soon, I feel the association will bankrupt the place. My question is: Should she keep on doing what she is doing? Is there any recourse for her to stop pouring money into a bad situation? I think she would be better off taking her $635 payment and dues and renting a place. -- K.D., via email DEAR K.D.: Your daughter has a serious problem. If the condo association is taking back units and is unable to sell them, the problem of less and less income will continue. You may be correct in your observation that the association will eventually have to go bankrupt. Whether theres any way for your daughter to stop pouring money into a bad situation, I dont know. Selling the unit may be problematic. But taking a hike like the others is also a problem. She should seek the services of an attorney to determine precisely what, if any, steps the condo association could take against her if she were to abandon her condo, and also what recourse she may have if the association chooses bankruptcy. No matter how you slice it, her situation is, at the least, perilous. DEAR BRUCE: We thoroughly enjoy your column and now find we need your sage advice. My husbands mother recently passed away. We plan to take a portion of the inheritance, $100,000, and either pay down a $218,000 mortgage (30 years at 3.52 percent) on a condo we purchased last year, or invest it. We are both relatively young retirees. While we are inclined to pay down debt, we also think there are good investment options and tax advantages to keeping the mortgage. What do you advise? -- T.C., via email DEAR T.C.: In my opinion, its almost a no-brainer. A 3.5 percent mortgage is as low as you are going to find. I am inclined to agree with your second thought -- that there are good investment options and tax advantages to keeping the mortgage. Unless you are totally risk-averse, which I dont think is the case, I would invest the money and keep paying your mortgage.

I told him was correct. I didnt mention an additional option, hip resurfacing, because in my opinion, its long-term success is untested. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball -- the top of the femur -- fits into the socket, the cup-shaped area in the pelvis called the acetabulum. In a total hip replacement, the surgeon removes the damaged surface of the socket, and also removes the femoral head and the neck of the femur. Then the surgeon replaces the surface of the socket and the top of the femur bone with artificial components. In a hip resurfacing, the surgeon replaces the socket, as in a hip replacement. However, the surgeon keeps the femur in place, reshapes the ball on top of the femur and places an artificial cap (a new surface) on top of the ball. So both the ball and the socket have a new surface, but less surgery is done. Less bone is removed, and less soft tissue around the bone is injured. (Ive put an illustration on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) Thats the attraction of hip resurfacing: Its simpler and faster. Also, the recovery time is the same: three days in the hospital, followed by four to six weeks of physical therapy. Moreover, a recent study published in the British Medical Journal finds that the results in the few years just after surgery are similar in traditional total hip replacement and hip resurfacing. In addition, insurance pays for both procedures.

anatomy of the hip allows you to do a total hip replacement on anyone who needs it, says my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Donald Reilly. But not everyone has the right anatomy for hip resurfacing. That includes small women with poor bone quality and people with certain femoral head anatomies that make femur fractures more likely. And heres the bigger problem: Traditional total hip replacement surgery has been practiced for nearly 50 years; we know a lot about the long-term results. The artificial parts of the new hip tend to last between 15 and 20 years. Hip resurfacing surgery is new enough that we really dont know how long it will last. Finally, theres an increased risk of a particular fracture in hip resurfacing patients. And it requires a second operation -- a hip replacement. So, if a patient of mine is quite young and needs hip surgery, I might recommend hip resurfacing. If it wears out in 10 years, he or she then can have traditional hip replacement surgery.

Purple Heart Flag, plaque to hang in Legion

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer slgroves@delphosherald.com FORT JENNINGS Village councils agenda was extensive on Tuesday night. Among the topics up for discussion were the villages Purple Heart designation, Second Street reconstruction, park construction, street and park tree removal and street crack-filling and sealant. Mayor Jim Smith discussed with council members a proposal to hang the Purple Heart Flag and plaque at the American Legion Post. He said he did not want to put the flag outside long term, but rather fly it during special occasions; Aug. 7, Purple Heart Day; on Aug. 17, the official declaration of the Purple Heart Village; and perhaps display it at the monument. The people who will appreciate it the most are the people who go to the Legion, Smith explained. Another idea is to have a Purple Heart recipient carry the flag into the church during the festival for the Veterans Mass. Additionally, council proposed Purple Heart signage at the entrance ways of the village. The Police Committee & Officers Report included: a house burglary that Van Wert police assisted with; feral cat complaints; and a decrease in cars being broken into. Police Chief Ethel Vaughn reported that Fort Jennings students last day will be today and she will be on patrol to make sure the kids are behaving. During the maintenance report, council discussed complaints surrounding the abandoned house on First Street, which the bank has walked away from. Smith said attorney Gary Lammers has all the information to complete the legal actions needed so that the county can add it to their list of properties to demolish. The village is currently mowing the property, which now needs an application of Roundup to kill off the weeds. Also, neighbor kids are playing in and leaving toys in the yard, which have to be picked up and removed before mowing. Itll cost [the bank] more to deal with it than to forgive the loan, Smith said. Ill reach out to Gary again. Councilman Duane Hoersten gave the Park Board Meeting report, which detailed a structural problem with one of the shelterhouses the Eagle Scouts were to reshingle. Recently, when Chad Wurst was on top of the shelterhouse inspecting the shingles, the structure shifted under his weight. Reports indicate that three rafters are broken and there were no angle braces. John VonSossan has a good plan, Smith said. We can take care of it ourselves; shore it up with bracing.

The Elida Board of Education honored 17 retirees from the district. They are as follows, from left to right: Row 1- Penny Welenken, Pam Radulovich, Ann Wolf, James Wyant, Deb Vine, Maureen Rentz; Row 2- Kim Daniel, Jan Swickrath, Sandra Benson, Kim Howard, David Desenberg, Deb Thomas and Dennis Thompson. Not pictured are Sarah Burden, Linda Rigali, Linda Spayd and Janet Bailey. (Delphos Herald/Stacy Taff) (Continued from page 1) I am stating what I believe to be the truth and this does not necessarily represent my personal viewpoints, he said. I do not believe a stronger case couldve been made for the need of additional operating money for Elida Local Schools. I would suggest there are three reasons. One, there are some people convinced that they just cannot afford to pay more taxes and in some cases, that is true. The second group Little mentioned consists of those who are not convinced the district is in need of additional funds. The third group of voters who voted no will continue to do so until there are changes made to administration, Little said. This group contains enough voters to cause any tax levy to fail, he said. They simply do not trust or support the leadership of the schools and sad but true, they are resolved that they will not support any school levy until the leadership is changed. We do live in a democracy, imperfect though it may be. Could it be the naysayers have a point? The board approved the following supplemental employees: Jason Carpenter, head football; Dan Larimore, Jeff Thomas, Mo Sumpter and Kyle Harmon, assistant varsity football; L. Jay Terry, JV football; Tom Gibson, eighth-grade head football; Darren Smith, eighth-grade asst. football; Guy Alexander, seventh-grade head football; Dennis Thompson, head golf; Tom Thomas, head boys soccer; Scott Warris, asst. boys soccer; Brady Overholt, head girls soccer; Elise Jenkins, assistant girls soccer; Quinn Whittaker, head girls tennis; Bruce Marshall, head cross country; Kevin King, head volleyball; Ashley Edwards, assistant volleyball; Leisa Stratton, 9ninth grade volleyball; Laura Stratton, sventh-grade volleyball. In other news, the board approved the following pay-to-participate plan: high school sports- $200 (family plan: $200 first, $150 second, $100 third, fourth, etc.); middle school sports- $125 (family plan: $125 first, $100 second, $75 third, fourth, etc.); high school band (only)- $50; Jazz Band- $0; middle school band- $0; musical (only)- high school $40, middle school and elementary $25 (family plan: $40 first, $10 second, third, etc.); High School Quiz Bowl (9-12)- $40; middle school Quiz Bowl (5-8)- $20; National Honor Society- $0; high school student council- $0; middle school student council- $0. Students of the month for May are as follows: Elida Elementary- Isaac Earl, David Etzkorn, Joel Van Gorder; Elida Middle School- Annalissa Cottrell, Grace Earl, Isaac McAdams, Jada Simpson; Elida High School- Lindsey Wisher (Valedictorian) and Bethany Koch (Salutatorian). The following retirees were recognized: Janet Bailey, Sandra Benson, Sarah Burden, Kim Daniel, David Desenberg, Kim Howard, Pam Radulovich, Maureen Rentz, Linda Rigali, Linda Spayd, Jan Swickrath, Deb Thomas, Dennis Thompson, Deb Vine, Penny Welenken, Ann Wolf and James Wyant. The board also accepted the following resignations: Faith Cummings, certified, Elida Elementary principal, effective July 31; Kim Daniel, certified, Elida High School social studies teacher, effective May 31 for retirement purposes; Greg Leeth, high school principal, certified, effective July 31 for retirement purposes; Lynette Lewis, non-certified, bus driver, effective May 31; Linda Rigali, non-certified, bus driver, effective May 31 for retirement purposes; Jan Swickrath, non-certified, bus driver, effective Sept. 1 for retirement purposes; Melissa Schultz, supplemental, middle school cross country coach.

Rezoning

(Continued from page 1) Councilman Kevin Osting asked if Buettners workers could try not use the north-south alley west of the business. Buettner replied that his workers will be using the alley but only as much as they do now, noting it is a public alley. Several residents with contiguous property to the proposed property to be rezoned and other neighbors spoke at the hearing. Joellen Etgen at 827 W. Second St. asked council to consider what was good for the city and if there was another property already zoned for business that would suit Buettners needs. Karen Youngpeter asked if the businesss portable toilets would be visible. A lot of us are concerned with the way it looks, she said. Were also concerned that expanding will bring more traffic and with a stone lot, more dust. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist asked if the new structure would be large enough to hold the portable toilets. Buettner said he would like nothing more that to have then enclosed and was considering some fencing at the back of the business to keep the toilets from public view and the possibility of vandalism. Other neighbors expressed their concern of property values and the loss of more residential space. Dave Ricker of 204 N. West St. said he thought it was great Buettners business was growing but wanted to project the neighborhoods current aesthetics. His wife, Sue Ricker, agreed. Business growth is important, she said. Just not in a residential area. Hanser asked Buettner if he felt the additional property with new structure would be enough or if he would look for more property in the neighborhood. I would hope I never stop growing but Im not looking to buy any more property, he said. I did look at some existing buildings but there are none that would suit my needs that someone wants to sell. The ordinance will be read for a second

time at the June 3 meeting. Washington Township will again receive fire protection and rescue services from the city following the approval of an ordinance allowing the mayor and/or safety service director to enter a contract with the township for $32,782.76 for 2014 (1.5 percent high than the 2013 contract); $33,110,59 (1 percent increase) for 2015; and $33,441.70 (1 percent increase) for 2015. The contract takes effect on Jan. 1. The Cass Street Water Loop Project, described as a moving target at Mays first Delphos City Council meeting, has seen some progress in a positive direction. Berquist informed council he has been in contact with rail officials who have received the citys application for the project and in turn, will forward two contracts for city officials to sign. After those documents are signed and we obtain a $6-million insurance policy for the 3-5 days well be working on the rail land, we can get All Purpose Contracting All Purpose Contracting started on the job, Berquist said. I look for all the paperwork to be done by the end of the month. The project bid came in at $34,828, nearly $10,000 under the projected project cost. Council passed on emergency measure an ordinance amending section 145.03 of the codified ordinances for the city, modifying the age requirement for firefighter in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code. The section will now include language stating, No person shall be eligible to receive an original appointment as a firefighter in the fire department, subject to the civil service laws of this state, unless the person is between the ages of 18 and 41. The ordinance did read between the ages of 18 and 36. Council also heard and passed on third reading an ordinance for the adoption of replacement pages to the citys codified ordinances to conform with state law and approved changes to the Civil Service Rules and Regulations Chapter 7.

Search for tornado survivors nearly complete

(Continued from page 1)

Delphos and Ottoville have donated generously to support this event, Dickman said. Dickman commended the Fort Jennings graduates that are going into the service after high school. He also acknowledged Terry Kleman and his wife, who now have five sons in the military. In addition, he thanked the Purple Heart

Association members for attending the meeting. Dickman said that he and Bud began talking seriously about community involvement after bringing the Huey into town last year. With the proclamation, the village agrees to set one day aside to honor veterans. The celebration will be ongoing as Fort Jennings salutes and acknowledges veterans throughout the fes-

tivities during FortFest, Dickman explained. Deep personal motivation has driven Dickman to work very hard at making this happen for the village. If we forget our veterans, then we forget our country, Dickman quoted President Calvin Coolidge: Governor John Kasich proclaimed Ohio the first Purple Heart State on Dec. 20, 2012.

MOORE, Okla. (AP) Helmeted rescue workers raced Tuesday to complete the search for survivors and the dead in the Oklahoma City suburb where a mammoth tornado destroyed countless homes, cleared lots down to bare red earth and claimed 24 lives, including those of nine children. Scientists concluded the storm was a rare and extraordinarily powerful type of twister known as an EF5, ranking it at the top of the scale used to measure tornado strength. Those twisters are capable of lifting reinforced buildings off the ground, hurling cars like missiles and stripping trees completely free of bark. Residents of Moore began returning to their homes a day after the tornado smashed some neighborhoods into jagged wood scraps and gnarled pieces of metal. In place of their houses, many families found only empty lots. After nearly 24 hours of searching, the fire chief said he was confident there were no more bodies or survivors in the rubble. Im 98 percent sure were good, Gary Bird said at a news conference with the governor, who had just completed an aerial tour of the disaster zone. Authorities were so focused on the search effort that they had yet to establish the full scope of damage along the storms long, ruinous path. They did not know how many homes were gone or how many families had been displaced. Emergency crews had trouble navigating devastated neighborhoods because there were no street signs left. Some rescuers used smartphones or GPS devices to guide them through areas with no recognizable landmarks. The death toll was revised downward from 51 after the state medical examiner said some victims may have been counted twice in the confusion. More than 200 people were treated at area hospitals.

During Aprils council meeting, Smith addressed upcoming road maintenance work by showing council members a color-coded plan of the villages streets. The plan identified streets that have not been sealed in 5-7 years. Council weighed in on Elm, Oak, John Kennedy Dr. and High Street and determined they are in really bad shape. Council member Walt Pitney indicated Second Street was in really bad shape. The projects paperwork will be ready at the bank this Monday. The bank is taking care of a portion of the cost of the project. Smith said the project will be put out for bid in June and the contract will be awarded until after July 1. This should take one week to 10 days, Smith detailed. In addition, council was looking at the conditions of many of the villages streets and requested an estimate for crack-filling and pavement-sealing. The estimate included three areas two on Second Street and one on Main Street to be treated with infrared, which will cost $610. The estimate also included sealing nine streets, including; High, Liberty, Martin, Elm and Oak. Council discussed the use of the sealant Gem Seal, a product the village has used previously, and a new product called Poly Tar, which is reported to be a superior product with a price tag of close to $1,589 more than the Gem Seal. Council approved the use of the Poly Tar and infrared work. Every two years, we want to consider sealing cracks, Smith said. The vast majority of areas look good. Cracks will be filled first and then Poly Tar will seal them. The other grant project in the works is the park restroom facility. In April, Park Board President Jerry Siefker reported excavation had been started but the work was on hold since the ground was too soft from all the rain. Currently, work has resumed and will not be completed in time for the festival. In March, council approved Our Tree Service to remove five trees in the village for $1,470 and no more than $3,000 to remove four Ash trees in Fort Jennings Park. Village Maintenance Supervisor Ted Wrasman reported that tree removal could begin today and the crew will be looking for dry work, not in the mud. With the park grounds still heavily saturated with water, Smith thought the crew should start with the trees they can reach from the asphalt. The state grant team got all of the trees down, Smith reported. When advancing to the dike area, the state told them to stop. Smith approved paying Turf Concepts for the removal of an additional four Ash trees, which will cost the village $250. The Lions Club will also chip in $250 to cut down and remove a
