Note in bathroom send Elida in lockdown

DHI Media Staff Reports
news@delphosherald.com
ELIDA A note found in a
restroom at Elida High School
prompted a lockdown and a lost
school day.
Superintendent Anthony Cox
wrote in a press release a student
brought a note to the assistant principal at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday that
read, Shooting at 2:00.
Cox said the high school was
immediately placed on lockdown and

school resource officers reviewed
surveillance camera footage to see
who had used the restroom.
Those students were all questioned and their lockers and persons
searched, Cox said. Nothing was
found.
At noon, the administration allowed
students to change classes and go to
lunch and the lockdown was lifted
except for the perimeter of the building. All doors were locked and to
enter, a person needed an escort.

At that time, I made the decision
to err on the side of caution and dismiss the students, Cox said. I wanted to know our students would safe at
2 p.m. The administration and I went
class by class talking to students and
dismissing them.
A voice alert and text alert notifying parents was sent and officers were
placed at designated locations in the
building. Students who had rides or
drove were dismissed first. Those that
couldnt secure a ride were kept in

classrooms with their teachers. Once
the driving students were dismissed,
the remaining students were taken to
the cafeteria until they were picked
up by a parent or guardian.
We take student safety very seriously and we did not see this a joke,
Cox said. If we find out who did
this, they will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
Students will be required to make
up the day at the end of the year.

Bowling for the Boyz

ready for Saturday
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Correspondent
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS What started out as a lets-see-what-wecan-do project has exceeded expectations of the creator.
Delphos native Jay Holdgreve now a resident of
Columbus started his Bowling for the Boyz project in
2011 to help raise funds for testicular Cancer research.
This years fifth annual installment is Saturday at the
Delphos Recreation Center under owners Bruce and Lisa Van
Meter; doors open at 5 p.m. and there is no entrance fee.
Even before that, he established the Jay Holdgreve
Endowment for Testicular Cancer Research at The James
Cancer Hospital and Solove Reasearch Institute in Columbus.
I started the endowment in December of 2010. Before
I did that, I wanted to raise awareness of testicular cancer;
there really wasnt any, Holdgreve himself a victim of
the disease but as of now, he has been cancer-free for 4 1/2
years explained. I was diagnosed with the disease myself
and in doing research to see what were my options, I found out
that there was very little awareness and no research for this
particular cancer.
This cancer typically strikes men from age 15-34 and most
werent really aware of it. Most men that age dont really think
about their health.
Addressing that lack of awareness was first thing on his list.
The second was then to commence work on the endowment
to start the research into it.
James Hospital did not have any funds to do the research.
This endowment was begun to do exactly that: endow the hospital to undertake this vital role, he went on.
That led him to begin the Bowling for the Boyz benefit
event at the DRC in 2011. All funds raised by this day go to
the endowment.

DELPHOS When
14-year-old Madison Brown
performed during halftime at
a recent Cleveland Cavaliers
home game, some of her family was on hand to watch her
dance. There was someone
missing, or so she thought.
While Madison was being
interviewed about her performance on camera, the reporter

asked her if there was someone she wished was there.
I wish my stepdadd could
have been here to see me
dance, Brown said without
hesitation.
When the reporter told her
that he had seen her performance live, she first thought
her stepfather, Sgt. John JJ
Harris, who is in Florida for
training, watched her from

his base on TV. Seconds later,
he came stepping through the
crowd on the basketball court
and gave her a big hug.
I couldnt believe it when
he came out, Brown said. It
meant a lot to me that he saw
me dance. He didnt get to
see me last year and missed
my recital.

Record road construction

calls for driver safety
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS With
a record 950 construction projects scheduled this
year, the Ohio Department
of Transportation (ODOT)
is reminding motorists to
be work zone aware and
think safety for themselves,
other drivers, and all roadside workers. In addition,
ODOT is teaming up with the
Ohio State Highway Patrol,
other law enforcement agencies and local media to raise
awareness about work zone
driving laws.
At ODOT, we work hard
to design and maintain the
safest possible driving conditions through highway work
zones, said ODOT Director
Jerry Wray. But accidents
can and do happen, especially
in work zones, and its up to
all of us to keep those accident numbers down.
We also hope drivers will
remember that a work zone
can be a mile of barrels and
barricades, or a single vehicle
with flashing lights on the
side of the road, Director
Wray added. No matter the
case, it means someone is
out doing their job, and its
Ohios law to slow down and
move over so they can do it

safely.
In 2014, more than 5,100
crashes occurred in ODOT
work zones the equivalent of one every two hours.
More than 1,000 people were
injured and 17 lost their lives.
State and national statistics
show that motorists are twice
as likely than construction
workers to be injured in work
zone crashes.
Monday
through
Wednesday marked National
Work Zone Awareness Week.
To make work zones safer for
everyone, ODOT offers these
driving tips:
Dont Speed. Reducing
your speed to 45 mph through
a two-mile work zone adds
less than a minute to your
commute.
Stay Alert. In work
zones, traffic lanes may shift
or close; large, slow-moving
equipment may enter or exit
the highway, or other drivers
may respond unexpectedly.
Watch for barrels and directional signs, obey flaggers
and be aware of workers and
other drivers.
Know Before You Go.

your local traffic reporters for
up-to-date construction information.

AGRIBUSINESS
Farmers need to be cautious when

applying manure, fertilizer to frozen soil
BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension Ag Educator
news@delphosherald.com
Ohio recently had several issues in the past
two weeks with farmers applying manure to
frozen and snow covered soil. The Ohio legislature is currently debating both the fertilizer
and manure application issues and legislation
is expected to be passed soon. Here are a couple of things to expect:
First, both House Bill 61 and Senate Bill 1
have a major focus on fertilizer application in
the Western Lake Erie Basin. Both are being
debated with Senate and House versions
shown in () and include 1) No fertilizer or
manure applied to frozen or snow (greater
than 1 inch snow) covered soil, 2) No fertilizer or manure applied when top two inches of
soil are saturated due to precipitation, 3) No
fertilizer applied when the local forecast is
predicting more than 1 inch of precipitation in
a 12-hour time period (Senate version) or 0.5
inch precipitation in 24-hour period (House
version).
For manure, no manure applied when the
local forecast is predicting more than 0.5 inch
precipitation in 24-hour period. Exceptions
include unless 1) fertilizer or manure is injected into the ground, 2) fertilizer is incorporated
into ground within 48 hours (Senate) or 24
hours (House) and manure must be incorporated into the ground within 24 hours or 3)
fertilizer or manure is applied to a growing
crop.
These provisions are proposed for only
watersheds in the Lake Erie watershed and
are specific to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer and manure. These provisions do not
apply to permitted livestock facilities because
those requirements are even tougher. The
ODA director may respond to complaints and
may investigate alleged violations with civil
penalties of $10,000 per violation.
These new rules are being enacted because
recent research shows that the greatest potential for surface and tile loss of soluble reactive
phosphorus (SRP) occurs with fall and winter
applications of either fertilizer or manure
while applying it in either spring or after
wheat harvest seems to minimize SRP losses.
High runoff occurs if the application of fertilizer or manure occurs near a rainfall event or
with melting snow. Injecting the manure or
fertilizer into the soil ties up the SRP with the
soil mineralogy and reduced SRP runoff and
improves water quality.

Several manure runoff issues occurred in
Shelby, Mercer, Darke (six cases), Paulding
and Ashland counties. Liquid manure (dairy
and swine) and poultry litter were found
in melting snow and runoff water coming
directly from fields between March 2 and
March 10. In most cases, the manure was
not incorporated because the soil was frozen
and almost all of the flow was over the soil
surface, directly into a nearby stream or ditch,
failing to follow proper setback distances.
Manure storage really was not an issue, since
a majority of the farms did still have storage.
Several farmers were warned not to apply
manure by local officials but decided to do it
anyways. The agricultural community needs
to make good decisions when it comes to
fertilizer and manure application or more
restrictive legislation is sure to follow.
The Putnam County Farm Bureau will
be holding a Farmers Share Breakfast on
Saturday at the old Glandorf Cafeteria
from 8-10 a.m. Donations will be accepted.
Pancakes, maple syrup, eggs, sausage, fruit,
muffins and donuts will be served. Come help
celebrate Ohio Agriculture Week a week late
(due to basketball tournaments).
A new pesticide applicator training and

testing will take place April 7 at the Putnam
Extension office. Testing will occur at 1 p.m.
(need to register with ODA at www.pested.
osu.edu). In the morning, a review session
will be held from 10 a.m. to noon (cost
is $20). Study materials can be purchased
from the Extension office which is highly
encouraged. Farmers need to obtain CORE
training and at least one other category. These
categories include category 1) Crops and
Grain, 2) Forage and Livestock, 3) Fruit and
Vegetables, 4) Nursery and Forest Crops, 5)
Greenhouse Crops and 6) Fumigation.
Many farmers are looking to get their
pesticide license because fertilizer applicator
certification training (FACT) is now required
and it is cheaper to get the pesticide applicator training (PAT) license first. The cost of
the PAT license is $30 once the test has been
passed. If you only want FACT training, the
cost will be $30 but if you already have a
PAT license, FACT training is free (no test).
FACT training will be held in the fall for first
time applicators. Farmers have until Sept. 30,
2017, to get FACT training.

Delphos FFA Wildlife Team competes

In an effort to prepare for the State Wildlife Contest, the Delphos FFA Wildlife team competed in the District 1 Invitational held in Wauseon. The team placed third out of 27 teams. The Wildlife Management contest assesses a students
knowledge in the areas of fish and wildlife management, as well as provides recognition to those who have demonstrated
skills and competencies as a result of natural resources instruction. The students have to identify mammals, gamebirds,
fish, food and cover, equipment, interpret topographical maps, determine the age and sex of species, pond management
and take a 50-question written test. Pictured are the Delphos FFA Wildlife Team members, front from left, Madison

Bill would create organic-type labels for nonmodified foods

WASHINGTON (AP) Inspired
by the popular USDA organic label,
House Republicans are proposing a new
government certification for foods free of
genetically modified ingredients.
The idea is part of an attempt to
block mandatory labeling of foods that
include genetically modified organisms,
or GMOs. The certification would be voluntary, says Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan.,
who is including the idea in legislation he
introduced Wednesday.
Pompeo says a government-certified
label would allow companies that want
to advertise their foods as GMO-free to
do so, but it would not be mandatory for
others. The food industry, which backs
Pompeos bill, has strongly opposed
individual state efforts to require label-
ing, saying labels would be misleading

because GMOs are safe. The bill would
also override any state laws that require
the labeling.
Under
the
legislation,
the
Agriculture Department would oversee
the certification, as it does with organics. But while organic foods must be
USDA-certified to carry any organic
label on a package, the departments
non-GMO certification would not be
required for every food that bills itself
as free of genetically modified ingredients. The idea is that foods the
department certifies as free of GMOs
would have a special government label
that companies could use to market
their foods. User fees would pay for
the program.
The bill also steps up FDA review of

genetically modified foods. Currently,
food companies must comply with FDA
guidance if they want to claim that foods
are free of engineered ingredients.
Pompeo says inconsistent state laws
would be confusing and costly for consumers and for companies. Vermont
became the first state to require the
labeling in 2014, and that law will go
into effect next year if it survives a legal
challenge from the food industry.
Were perfectly happy to have folks
to understand if theres GMOs or not in
their food, Pompeo said in an interview
with The Associated Press. It is simply
not the case that you can have affordable
food that is safe and 1,000 different
rules.

COLUMBUS
(AP)
New rules for farmers aimed at reducing the
toxic algae in Lake Erie
won unanimous approval from the Legislature on
Wednesday and were headed to the governor for his
expected signature.
The wide-ranging bill
would stop farmers in
northwestern Ohio from
spreading manure on frozen and rain-soaked fields.
It also would bring an end
to the dumping of dredged
sediment in the lake within
five years. Both are thought
to be contributing to the
growth of algae in the lake.
The measure would
be the first passed in an
effort to slow the spread
of the algae since August,
when a toxin contaminated the drinking water for
more than 400,000 people
in northwestern Ohio and
southeastern Michigan.
Jim Zehringer, the states
natural resources director,
said the legislation gives
Ohio the ability to get bad
actors into compliance
while working with those
farmers who need assistance with the rules.
Ohios fight against
algae isnt over, but these
reforms will certainly help,
Zehringer said in a written
statement.
Senate President Keith
Faber told reporters at a
Statehouse news conference
that the bill would help
provide Ohioans access
to clean water, not green
water. At the same time, he
said the rules allow the agriculture industry to remain
viable.
But viability should

not be confused with a lack
of environmental stewardship, added Faber, a Celina
Republican. Excessive use
of chemical fertilizers or
organic fertilizers is unacceptable, and this bill will
make meaningful changes
to that process.
The bills sponsors said
they did not foresee any
large hurdles in implementing the regulations, which
would have to go through
further rule-making review.
They anticipated that farmers would have more details
on the new standards by
December.
I think the statute is
pretty clear as to whats
expected, said Sen. Randy
Gardner, a Bowling Green
Republican. He said the
proposal incorporates many
best practices already in
place for farmers.
Gardner said he expected further discussion over
how to enhance the bills
impact during debate over
the states two-year budget.
Ideas could include more
support for soil testing, tributary monitoring and conservation measures.
He also said hed like to
see a regional conference
of environmental groups
and local leaders to help
take a more comprehensive approach to addressing
algae problems.
Its not all about Ohio,
Gardner told reporters. Its
about Indiana and Michigan
and Ontario at least those
states.
Environmental groups
and the Ohio Farm Bureau
support the bill.

Its all Madness, 6 teams with 10 or more losses

The winter blues are pretty close to being behind us
for 2014-15 watch now, we will get hit with a blizzard
tomorrow! and thoughts turn to April showers, May
flowers, high school baseball, softball, track and field
and spring football practice!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, spring football
practice is underway hot and heavy from Columbus to
Tuscaloosa to Gainesville to Austin.
It shows you just how much the landscape has
changed in the national sports scene.
College football has become not only ginormous business in the fall but a pretty big deal on college campuses
coast to coast in March and April.
There is still that little thing with the bouncing ball
about putting that bouncing ball through a metal cylinder and some twine called, uh, March and soon
to be April Madness!
Upon further review, there is still more about an orb
being hurtled through the air at speeds sometimes
exceeding 100 miles per hour called, er, ummm,
Spring Training, where hopes spring eternal in the land
of warm weather and sunshine!
Dont forget the silly season known as NFL free agency and the National Holiday known as the NFL Draft
only a month-plus away.
And even more, dont put aside in your mind about
NASCAR already heating up with great drama only a
month into the season.
Is it any wonder that overall, this is the best time of
year for a sports junkie especially if your Bracket
hasnt been smashed into smithereens! Mine hasnt so
far yet!
You just never know what is going through my
cluttered mind, do you, dear 10,390 readers!
This is an encouragement, my dear readers.
It involves the annual Delphos Herald Spring Sports
Tabloid.
See MUSINGS, page 7
The NCAA Tournament has never

had so many teams with so many losses
make it so far.
Six of the regional semifinalists have
10 or more losses, including three with
13. The reaction around college basketball has been a collective shrug.
There simply are more opportunities
to lose nowadays.
Thats because teams are playing
more regular-season games than ever,
and top programs are trying to schedule mostly high-caliber nonconference
opponents which can enhance their
resumes for NCAA Tournament selection and seeding.
There was a time years and years
ago where youd feel like if you had
20 wins youd get in the tournament,
North Carolina State coach Mark
Gottfried said. Now it comes down to
who you schedule. You may lose some
games because youre playing a difficult
nonconference schedule. And then in
our league, its tough night in and night

lot and losing to one might only hurt a

little in the eyes of the NCAA selection
committee.
N.C. State (22-13), which plays
Louisville (26-8) in Syracuse, New
York, on Friday, used strong nonconference schedules to get off
the NCAA bubble in 2012 and
2014. This season the Wolfpack
played tournament teams Boise
State, Wofford, Cincinnati and
Purdue before losing twice to
Virginia, splitting meetings with
North Carolina and beating Duke and
Louisville in ACC play.
Xavier (23-13), which plays Arizona
(33-3) in Los Angeles today, lost nine
games in the Big East. That conference
sent six teams to the NCAA Tournament
and Xavier is the only one still standing.
I think its great that the Big East
has been able to test us with some really
tough teams, center Matt Stainbrook
said, and I think the fact that weve
grown as a team together has made us
really special at this point.

Buckeyes quarterback competition

led the Buckeyes to victories in the
Big Ten championship game and
two playoff games; J.T. Barrett, who
accounted for a Big Ten-record 45 touchdowns last season; and Braxton Miller, a

Miller is still recovering from a second
shoulder surgery and cannot yet throw at full
strength. Whether he can come back and be
the player he has been is not a sure thing.
Barrett is also not 100 percent after a broken ankle, but hes coming along. Meyer said
he was taking part in 7-on-7 drills on Tuesday

Change to extra points likely in NFL

By BARRY WILNER
Associated Press
PHOENIX Spice it up.
The NFLs dullest play, the extra
point, appears to be headed for some
changes, perhaps significant ones, for
the 2015 season.
While team owners didnt vote on
any extra-point proposals Wednesday,
there was so much discussion and interest in potential changes that the issue
will be a main focal point for the next
set of league meetings in May.
Theres a clear movement to wanting to change and change it this year,
said Rich McKay, co-chairman of the
competition committee and president of
the Falcons.
McKays committee will develop
alternatives and be ready for a potential
vote in two months in San Francisco.
Among the possibilities are moving
the line of scrimmage back for PAT
kicks; placing the ball on the 1-yard
line for a 2-point conversion; eliminating the PAT kicks entirely, requiring
teams to run a play from scrimmage;
and allowing the defense to score, as in
college football, if the ball is turned over
on a 2-point try.
McKay described the discussions as
lively, with lots of ideas its time to
make this a football play.
A couple coaches said they favor
just lining up on the 2 and going for the
2-point play, he said. Or move the ball
to the 1 1-2 for two points, or kick from
the 15 for one, your choice.
The league experimented with extrapoint kicks from a longer distance last
preseason.
Currently, the line of scrimmage for
both an extra point and 2-point conver-
sion try is the 2-yard line.

Voted down as the meetings concluded was Chicagos proposal that
each team get a possession in overtime
regardless of what happens on the first
series.
Now, if the side receiving the OT
kickoff scores a touchdown, the game ends. If it
kicks a field goal, the opponent gets a possession.
Unsportsmanlike penalties handed out at the end of
a half now will carry over,
either to the second half or
to overtime.
Lining up players with
eligible numbers at ineligible positions, as New England did
against Baltimore in the playoffs, now
has more specific guidelines. Those
players must line up inside the tackle
box.
The owners also approved teams with
retractable domes being allowed to open
them at halftime, weather permitting,
and allowing linebackers to wear numbers from 40-49; previously they could
wear only numbers in the 50s and 90s.
Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke
briefly about two high-profile personal conduct cases in which both players, Greg Hardy and Adrian Peterson,
remain on the exempt list.
Goodell said the league continues
to review Hardys case to determine if
discipline is warranted. Hardy signed
earlier this month with Dallas.
Goodell said the date for Adrian
Petersons suspension to end remains
April 15. The Vikings running back had
the ban overturned by appeal, a decision
the NFL now is appealing itself.
Also Wednesday:
The NFL is not focused necessarily on having a team or teams back

in Los Angeles in 2016, but it is a hot
topic. Goodell noted the league wants
to succeed long term in LA, so right
now the focus is on the process and also
understanding what it takes to be successful in the LA market.
A report on all three teams
interested in moving there
the Rams, Chargers and Raiders
is expected in late April
and Goodell said the owners
then would discuss it in San
Francisco.
Expansion of the playoffs
by two teams was discussed but
wont be happening for a while.
Goodell mentioned scheduling issues as
well as competitive questions for such
delays.
Ted Wells investigation into the
deflated footballs in the AFC championship game is ongoing, with no timetable
on its conclusion.
Texting during a game by Browns
general manager Ray Farmer is still
being investigated to see if any league
rules were broken.
Earlier in the week, of the 13 video
replay alterations proposed, including
extending the number of coaches challenges and letting them challenge all
officiating calls, the only one passed
will allow game officials to use replay
for clock issues at the end of a half,
game or overtime if more than 1 second
remains.
Five player safety rule changes were
made, the most notable allowing a medical adviser to stop a game if he believes
a player is disoriented, having the player
removed from the field and examined on
the sideline or in the locker room.

if it werent for, as Bilas said, slipping

As for North Carolina (26-11),
which plays Wisconsin (33-3) in Los
Angeles today, theres no shame in
what it did against the nations second-toughest schedule.
They played Kentucky, they played
Virginia twice, they played Duke twice,
they played Notre Dame twice. Thats
why they have 11 losses, Bilas said.

still unsure about.

Growing up I never learned to
cook. The first meal I ever made
was spaghetti when my husband
(then fiance) and I moved into our
home. My issue is, I HATE cooking. I dont have the patience for it
and neither does my husband.
Should I be ashamed that I indulge in box dinners that take
little time to prepare? Naturally,
I cook meat and vegetables to go
along with them, but is it shameful when a wife doesnt cook everything from scratch? My husband doesnt mind, but I worry.
Shouldnt a wife cook real meals
for her husband? -- NEW WIFE
IN NORTH CAROLINA
DEAR NEW WIFE: Because
many couples both work, many
husbands and wives take turns
cooking or prepare dinner together. (Honey, Ill do the salad and
vegetables; you fix the chicken/
fish/chops on the grill.) The
problem with prepackaged meals
is that many of them contain more
sodium and/or other additives
that nutritionists say are bad for
ones health when consumed on
a regular basis, so I think you do
have cause for concern. The most
important ingredient in a lasting
marriage is a partner who lasts, so
if you want yours to last, be vigilant about what you put in your
stomachs.
DEAR ABBY: Im a 29-yearold woman and I have been with
my fiance, Gary, for three years.
We became engaged six months
ago.
When I brought up wedding
ideas recently, Gary responded
vations on the house, buy my own

personal items and have a shorter
commute.
Im hurt because I believe
marriage is about committing to
the person you love. I also realize you cant live on love alone.
Am I overly sensitive about this?
Is Garys request reasonable, or
do you think hes just looking
for an excuse not to get married?
-- LOVE ABOVE ALL IN NEW
YORK
DEAR LOVE ABOVE ALL:
Pay attention to what your fiance
said because it appears he has unilaterally mapped out your future for
you. This sounds less like a request
to me than a demand. Open your
eyes and keep talking with him.
Did he specify whether your
name will be on the deed to the
house you will contribute to renovating? (I hope so.) I also hope
you will be lucky enough to find
a higher-paying job with a shorter
commute, because not everyone is
able to do that.
Because I believe in both love
and practicality, I think its important you and Gary have premarital
counseling together to clarify
whether youre on the same page
regarding finances.

Horoscope
By Eugenia Last

You may be in a hurry to
get ahead. Gauge your responsibilities carefully and be sure
you have enough time and resources to reach your goals. A
lack of focus will develop if
you dont take time to rejuvenate. Balance will be the key
to your success.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Too much time spent
hanging around the house will
not help you get ahead. Give
in to your playful side. Get
together with friends or make
plans with a loved one and
have some fun.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- You will make positive
strides if you are determined
and dedicated. Self-discipline
will ensure steady progress.
Love is highlighted, and special plans will enhance a personal relationship.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- You will face trouble
when it comes to some of your
decisions. Stop procrastinating and take care of unfinished
business. A sense of achievement will give you incentive
to take on a new challenge.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Loss is apparent. Keep
an eye on your wallet and ensure that your valuables and
assets are secure. Go through
your personal paperwork and
make changes that will improve your standard of living.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Take a realistic look at your
relationships. If you are bored
or in a rut, consider what it
will take to bring you greater happiness and satisfaction,
and get to work.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Someone will try to ruin
your reputation. Keep all of
your business dealings open
and aboveboard. Any questionable choices will put you
in a vulnerable position.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Add some excitement to
your routine. Attend a course
that appeals to your artistic
and creative interests. The
ability to express yourself in
a different medium will bring
you satisfaction.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Unanticipated home or
personal expenses will put a
strain on your budget. Dont
ignore your financial position.
Take care of any problems using cost-efficient methods.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Disappointment
with regard to important partnerships should best be dealt
with quickly. Leading someone on or making promises
that you dont want to keep
will make matters worse.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- You have the zest
and vigor to accomplish everything you set out to do.
Make plans for some enjoyable leisure time with people
you like. You deserve some
fun.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- The more you travel and
communicate with others, the
more knowledgeable you will
become. The assortment of
ideas with which you come
into contact will help you
shape your own convictions.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Dont let anyone push
you around. You will be frustrated if you refuse to stand up
for yourself. Let others know
what you will and will not tolerate.

GOP-controlled House passes budget to erase deficits

WASHINGTON (AP) Normally quarrelsome House Republicans came together
Wednesday night and passed a boldly conservative budget that relies on nearly $5 trillion
in cuts to eliminate deficits over the next
decade, calls for repealing the health care law
and envisions transformations of the tax code
and Medicare.
Final passage, 228-199, came shortly
after Republicans bumped up recommended defense spending to levels proposed by
President Barack Obama.
Much of the budgets savings would come
from Medicaid, food stamps and welfare,
programs that aid the low-income, although
details were sketchy.
Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., chairman of the
House Budget Committee, called the plan a
balanced budget for a stronger America and
one that would get this economy rolling again.
France jet
audio shows
pilot locked
out of cockpit
SEYNE-LES-ALPES,
France (AP) The first half
of Germanwings Flight 9525
was chilling in its normalcy.
It took off from Barcelona en
route to Duesseldorf, climbing up over the Mediterranean
and turning over France. The
last communication was a routine request to continue on its
route.
Minutes later, at 10:30
a.m. Tuesday, the Airbus
A320 inexplicably began to
descend. Within 10 minutes it
had plunged from its cruising
altitude of 38,000 feet to just
over 6,000 feet and slammed
into a remote mountainside.
To find out why, investigators have been analyzing
the mangled black box that
contains an audio recording
from the cockpit. Remi Jouty,
the head of Frances accident
investigation bureau BEA,
said Wednesday that it has
yielded sounds and voices,
but so far not the slightest
explanation of why the plane
crashed, killing all 150 on
board.
A newspaper report, however, suggests the audio contains intriguing information at
the least: One of the pilots
is heard leaving the cockpit,
then banging on the door
with increasing urgency in an
unsuccessful attempt to get
back in.
The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and
there is no answer, The New
York Times quotes an unidentified investigator as saying.
And then he hits the door
stronger and no answer. There
is never an answer.
Eventually, the newspaper
quotes the investigator as saying: You can hear he is trying
to smash the door down.
Democrats rebutted that the GOP numbers didnt add up and called their policies
wrong-headed.
People who are running in place today
are not going to be moving forward under
the Republican budget, theyre going to be
falling back, said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of
Maryland.
The Republican-controlled Senate is likely to
approve its version of a budget by weeks end.
The plans themselves are non-binding and
do not require a presidential signature. Instead,
once the House and Senate agree on a common
approach, lawmakers will have to draft legislation to carry out the program that Republicans
have vowed to follow in the wake of campaign
victories last fall that gave them control of both
houses of Congress.
Still, House passage of a budget marked a
significant victory for Speaker John Boehner
and the GOP leadership, which have struggled mightily to overcome differences within
a fractious rank and file.
An equally notable second triumph
appeared on the horizon. Legislation to stabilize the system of payments to doctors who
treat Medicare patients is expected to clear
the House today, and Obamas declaration of
support enhanced its chances in the Senate.
It includes a requirement for upper-income
Medicare beneficiaries to pay more for their
coverage, a provision Republicans hailed as a
triumph in their drive to curtail the growth of
benefit programs.
There was nothing bipartisan about the
budget debate, though. Republicans supported it, 228-17, while all 182 Democrats who
voted were opposed.
The House plan calls for $5.4 trillion in
deficit reduction over a decade, including about
Military: Bergdahl may face

life in prison if convicted
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) Army
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who abandoned his
post in Afghanistan and was held captive for five years by the Taliban, was
charged Wednesday by the U.S. military
with desertion and misbehavior before
the enemy and could get life in prison if
convicted.
The charges are the latest development
in a long and bitter debate over Bergdahls
case. They also underscore the military
and political ramifications of his decision on June 30, 2009, to leave his post
after expressing misgivings about the U.S.
militarys role, as well as his own, in the
Afghanistan war.
Bergdahl, 28, was captured by the
Taliban and held by members of the
Haqqani network, an insurgent group
tied to the Taliban that operates both in
Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Last May 31, Bergdahl was handed
over to U.S. special forces in Afghanistan
as part of an exchange for five Taliban
commanders who were imprisoned at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The exchange set off a debate over
whether the U.S. should have released
the five Taliban members. Little is known
about what the five have been doing in
Qatar, where they are being monitored by
the government. Some lawmakers have
predicted that the five would return to the
battlefield.
Wednesdays announcement brought
further criticism of the exchange from some
lawmakers, including U.S. Rep. Michael
McCaul, R-Texas and the chairman of the
Committee on Homeland Security.
President Obama endangered our
national security and broke the law when
he chose to negotiate with terrorists and
release hardened enemy combatants from
Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Sgt.
Bergdahl who many believed at the
time was a deserter, McCaul said in a
statement.
The Obama administration appeared to
stand by the swap.
Was it worth it? Absolutely. We have
a commitment to our men and women
serving overseas, or in our military,
defending our national security every day,

that we will do everything we can to bring
them home, and thats what we did in this
case, State Department spokeswoman
Jen Psaki said in an interview on Fox
News.
The misbehavior charge could land
Bergdahl in prison for life, though some
legal experts said a lengthy sentence was
unlikely. He also could be dishonorably
discharged and forfeit all his pay if convicted on either charge.
Next, an Article 32 hearing similar
to a civilian grand jury proceeding
will be held at Fort Sam Houston in San
Antonio, where Bergdahl has been performing administrative duties. A date was
not announced. From there, it could be
referred to a court-martial and go to trial.
His attorney, Eugene Fidell, did not
respond to a request for comment from
The Associated Press. In an interview
later Wednesday with MSNBC, Fidell
noted that the hearing will be public and
said people will learn many things that
they have not yet been privy to about Sgt.
Bergdahls conduct, his motivation, his
intentions as well as the details of his
captivity at the hands of the Taliban.
After a lengthy investigation that
included interviewing unit members and
commanders and meetings with Bergdahl
and his attorney, the case was referred to
Gen. Mark Milley, who had a broad range
of legal options.
Milley could have decided not to charge
Bergdahl at all, recommend administrative action or convene a court-martial on
more serious offenses.
Bergdahl also could have faced more
serious desertion charges, though this
charge does not require prosecutors to
prove that he had no intention of returning
to his unit.
It was unlikely that prosecutors would
have sought a desertion charge that
carried a possible death penalty after
American lives and Taliban prisoners
were exchanged to get Bergdahl back, said
Jeffrey K. Walker, a St. Johns University
law professor, retired Air Force officer
and former military lawyer.
HJ Heinz buys Kraft to build $28 billion food giant

NEW YORK (AP) Some of the
most familiar names in ketchup, pickles, cheese and hot dogs are set to come
under the same roof after H.J. Heinz
Co. announced plans Wednesday to buy
Kraft and create one of the worlds largest food and beverage companies.
The deal would bring together an array
of longtime staples in American kitchens,
including Oscar Mayer lunchmeats, Jell-O
desserts, Miracle Whip spreads, Ore-Ida
potatoes and Smart Ones diet foods.
The combination of the two companies each more than a century old was engineered by Warren
Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway and
Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital,
which teamed up just two years ago
to buy Heinz. While shoppers are not
expected to see any major changes, the
creation of The Kraft Heinz Co. reflects
the pressures facing some of the biggest
packaged food makers in the U.S.
As consumers increasingly migrate
away from popular packaged foods in
favor of options they consider less processed, companies including Campbell
Soup, General Mills and Kellogg have
been slashing costs or striking deals
to update their products offerings. The
Brown

Brown and Harris hadnt seen
each other since Christmas and
Brown thought the next time she
would, it would be in North Carolina
in July for his deployment ceremony before he leaves for Okinawa,
Japan.
We talk on the phone and text a lot
about grades, track and dance, Brown
said. It was nice to see him in person
for the weekend.
Heinz-Kraft deal is in many ways just

the latest example of that, although
Buffett noted that the two companies
still have a strong base of customers.
I think the tastes Kraft and Heinz
appeal to are pretty enduring, he said
in a telephone call to the business news
channel CNBC.
Still, the early plans outlined by Kraft
and Heinz executives in a conference
call Wednesday focused largely on the
savings that would be achieved through
the deal, rather than the potential for
sales growth in North America. They
said they expect to save $1.5 billion
through moves such as combining manufacturing and distribution networks.
James Angel, an associate professor
of finance at Georgetown Universitys
McDonough School of Business, said
that will probably result in job losses.
Even though it is painful for the
people involved, those resources will
be freed up for other, potentially more
productive, uses, he said.
The boards of both companies unanimously approved the deal, which still
needs a nod from federal regulators and
shareholders of Kraft Foods Group Inc.
The companies say they expect the deal
Brown has seen a lot of changes over the past year. Her mother,
Mandie, and Harris were married in
June 2014 and then moved to North
Carolina. Brown opted to stay in
Delphos with her grandparents, Bob
and Sue Metcalf, and finish the school
year.
We have loved having Maddie with
us. Shes a good kid. She just wont
keep her room clean, Sue Metcalf said
with a shake of her head.
Brown will join her mother in North
to close in the second half of the year.

If the agreement goes through, Kraft
is expected to undergo cost-cutting
under the management of 3G Capital,
which is known for running tight ships.
The president of the United Food
and Commercial Workers International
Union, which says it represents 3,250
Kraft and Heinz workers in North
America, said the union will work with
the companies to make sure they do
what is right and responsible and dont
let cost-cutting measures hurt workers.
John Cahill, who took over as CEO
of Kraft late last year, noted that the new
management would drive a much leaner organization, as was the case when
3G took over Heinz. He said 3G can
make this happen deeper and faster.
What we have not been thrilled about
is some of our execution, Cahill said.
The two companies also see potential
in pushing their products more aggressively overseas. Since splitting from Mondelez
in 2012, Krafts business has been primarily concentrated in North America. But
executives noted that Krafts brands are
well known in major markets around the
world, including the United Kingdom,
Mexico, China and Brazil.
Carolina in July. She has been hesitant

to leave what she knows behind her
friends and family.
Maddie has been worried about
moving away from all her friends and
her school, Mandie Harris said. If
she wants to come back to Delphos
and graduate from St. Johns, Ill move
back here her senior year and she can
do that.
For now, Brown will continue to live
with her grandparents in Delphos and
maybe work on that room.
$2 trillion from repeal of the law known as

Obamacare. Nearly $1 trillion would be saved
from from Medicaid and CHIP, health care programs for the low-income, and $1 billion from
other unspecified benefit programs. Another
$500 billion would come from general government programs that already have been squeezed
in recent years by deficit-reduction agreements
between Congress and the White House.
The budget outline itself provides few if
any details of the cuts envisioned, although
once they appear in legislation they are highly
likely to spark a veto showdown with Obama.
The president has also vowed to defend
the health care law that stands as his signature domestic achievement. The House has
already voted more than 60 times to repeal it
in part or whole, but for the first time since
the law passed, House members have a willing partner in the Senate.

My initial goal was to raise $50,000 in five years. Most
people thought that was not going to happen, he said. Well,
we exceeded that goal in three years. The endowment is funded and ready to go currently, it totals $63,122; the reasearch
has begun.
He is excited about returning to Delphos for this years
event Saturday.
We have averaged between $8,000-$10,000 in the four
previous years and usually draw around 200 people. There are
some familiar faces that have been here every time but every
year, there are new ones that come, he explained. Its a good
time for those who come; bowling is a relatively inexpensive
sport to do and its a lot of fun.
In addition to the bowling two games, shoe rental and
two fountain drink tickets for $10 the event also features
silent auctions and a live auction; karaoke, 50/50 drawing,
raffles and door prizes; and live musical entertainment.
I live in Columbus and there are other fund-raisers we
have there. In November, we have one with local bars and
restaurants selling fake mustaches, he added. We also have
a couple of bars sell paper mustaches and they put them on
their boards. It follows October being Breast Cancer Month.
I also speak to local high schools about this and a couple
of the high school teams wear decals on their helmets in honor
of this.
