increase in water and waste treatment rates would still be required but would result in a much lesser increase of 9 percent for waste treatment and 5 percent for water and the city would be able to return the non-bargaining unit employees to 40 hours per week. If the tax increase fails, the city will be forced to maintain the present level of staffing for the police department. In 2010, there were 14 full-time police officers. Today, there are nine full-time officers. If the tax increase is approved by the voters, the city would keep the police force at a reduced level from 2010 but would be able to maintain the police force at 10 full-time officers. This level would allow two police officers per shift, minimize expensive overtime and allow officers to respond as quickly as possible to best serve public safety and minimize the risk to the responding officers.

Contractor backs waterline work with 5-year warranty

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE Miller Construction is standing behind a waterline project on Auglaize Street in Ottoville. Ottoville Village Council called a special meeting Tuesday night to allow Josh Clay of Miller Construction and residents of the village the opportunity to discuss the frozen waterline issues that affected Auglaize Street this past winter. Close to a dozen residents voiced their concerns regarding the construction of the roadway and the depth of the service pipes in relation to why their pipes froze during what Clay describes as The Perfect Storm. Tearing up the road would be counter-productive and homeowners should get what they paid for, Clay said. Im proposing a five-year warranty, extending the guarantee to October 2018. Residents and council members agreed the proposed extended warranty was an acceptable solution to the problem. Brian Goubeaux, lead engineer from Choice One Engineering, said with the five-year warranty, if the pipes are not deep enough, it will be discovered. See WARRANTY, page 12

OEPA approves Spencervilles new WWTP design

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com SPENCERVILLE Mayor P. J. Johnson read Village Administrator Sean Chapmans report which contained some very good news for the village when he announced that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) has approved the new Water Treatment Plant (WTP) design on Monday night. Sean had a meeting with Richard Kirk of Kirk Bros. (KBC) and Todd Jenkins (Peterman Associates) recently to discuss updates on the status of the WTP project, Johnson said. The new WTP building has been constructed and KBC plans to be back onsite and begin footer/foundation work on the 17 of April. Johnson said a Purchase Order has been issued to Buschur Electric by KBC for all of the electrical components and all state permits have been submitted and approval is expected within two weeks. In addition, Industrial Fluid Management (IFM) will deliver treatment process equipment in May. Change Order 2G should be completed soon and officially presented to council for review and approval, the mayor reported. Change Order 3G will be coming and involves a deduct of the remaining Buschur contract and an adder (of the same amount as Buschurs deduct) to Kirk Bros. contract. Johnson addressed a minor issue regarding the possibility of the electrical service upgrade expiring and costing the village an additional $10,000. Sean worked with AEP on the required upgrade in service for the WTP and they were going to provide this upgrade at no cost due to the condition of the existing electrical components, Johnson said. Chapman was not aware of the fact that it would expire; however, the person he had been dealing with was in the process of changing territories and had to close out and finalize all projects under her jurisdiction. Johnson was able to make a telephone call and resolve the issue and the village will receive the necessary electrical upgrade, which will cost close to $300. The village received official notification that the State of Ohios Controlling Board has approved the Clean Ohio Trails Fund project for the village. Johnson explained the project consists of a trail continuation from the south corporation limit to the north corporation limit, with the exception of the two-block area between Second and Fourth streets. This project will be in conjunction with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Parks and will cost the village very little, if any, out of pocket after all reimbursement requests have been submitted and paid. In his report, Chapman noted one of the major issues that may cause problems for the project is the existing power pole locations. He has contacted American Electric Power (AEP) about the possibility of relocating some poles and/or guy wires. He would also like

to get ODNR involved in this process as they may have more leverage being a state agency as compared to a small village. There is a chance he will need to apply for additional permits since the proposed project disturbs at least one acre, Johnson detailed. Chapman is working to reduce the scope of the project so the village does not fall into the category that requires the Construction General Permit and if the permit is required, the village will need to create a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. This could prove to prolong the project. Johnson reminded council that fire hydrant flushing will begin on April 20 and last through May 2. Customers are urged to use caution, especially when doing laundry. he said. It will be common for customers to experience discolored water, fluctuating pressures and even water outages during this period. See SPENCERVILLE, page 12

Elida council discusses water rate increases

BY CYNTHIA YAHNA Herald Correspondent news@delphosherald.com ELIDA A future water rate increase dominated talk at the Elida Village Council meeting Tuesday. An ordinance to establish a water rate increase, commencing May 12, and a second rate increase, commencing Nov. 13, was introduced. Councilman Claude Paxton raised some concerns about the two increases. I would like to see a rate bracket of the amount of increase in the gallons of water. The raising of different rates for the residents inside the village, versus the out-of-village users, has been a concern for the residents outside of the village, Paxton said. I would like for us to do our due diligence in what is the cost benefit ratio, cost to the village and the benefit to us. I would also like to have time to consider the rate for the second increase that would be in November. Mayor Kim Hardy addressed Paxtons concerns. The reason we put the second rate increase in effect is the fact we are not sure where we are going to be and we wanted to be pro-active to offset any increases from Lima that come along, Hardy said. We are, in essence, building a little cushion for January if there may be an increase. Village Clerk/Treasurer Janet Bonifas said charging residents outside the village a higher rate is typical practice. I checked with five communities that are our size, and we generally charge 30 percent more. Out of the five communities, four have doubled their rate, she said. Chris McNamara said hed like to see the village stay on top of the water rate. We could be blind-sided and then it may be a possibility that we would be mandated to make increases, McNamara said. The ordinance to establish rates and charges for water services rendered by

the village to users within and without the corporate limits of Elida calls for a $30-per-month service fee on all non-metered users inside the village and $45 per month on all non-metered users outside the village for the May billing cycle. In November, the service charge will increase to $32 per month on non-metered users inside the village and $48 for non-metered users outside of the village. Mayor Ken Wright of Columbus Grove was in attendance at the meeting to hear about the water rates. Mayor Hardy reminded councilman and departments heads about information for a village newsletter. Over a month ago we discussed getting a newsletter together and turned in by the end of March. Police Chief Metzger turned in his items for the newsletter but we will have to put on hold until the end of April, as we needed more content for the newsletter, Hardy said. The next council meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. April 22.

Panel weighs tweaks to midterm budget bill

COLUMBUS (AP) An Ohio legislative panel debated additional changes Tuesday night to a midterm budget bill that sends more money to family and children services and bolsters efforts to combat drug abuse. The sweeping measure also would make changes to campaign finance regulation in the political battleground state, including the elimination of a rule that requires labor organizations, nonprofits and corporations to disclose certain campaign spending to the secretary of state. The rule on disclosing such independent campaign expenditures came under the previous Democratic secretary of state. It followed the U.S. Supreme Courts decision in the Citizens United case in 2010 that lifted restrictions on independent spending by corporations and labor unions. A spokesman for Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, said his office did not ask for the rule to be voided, nor was it a priority of Husted. State Rep. Debbie Phillips, an Albany Democrat, sought to restore the rule in the budget bill, though her amendment was tabled by Republicans who dominate the House Finance and Appropriations Committee. It seems like a big change to make as we are heading into an election year, Phillips said, adding that the proposal would create secrecy around campaign spending. She also noted that the amendment comes on the heels of Republican Gov. John Kasichs trip to Las Vegas last month to attend a gathering of GOP super donors. It just looks very troubling on its face that this would show up in such an abrupt and secretive way with no public discussion and making very dramatic changes to the landscape for political expenditures for corporations and unions, Phillips said. Finance Chairman Ron Amstutz, a Wooster Republican, defended the amendment. He said it came from House members, not the Kasich administration. I think we have a playing field that is not level now and its because of that rule, he said. He said the proposal sets up parity in the states campaign finance law. Amstutz declined to give reporters specifics about the rule and the impact of its removal. Well have more discussion as the process goes forward, he said. The GOP members defeated Democratic proposals to restore local government funding and reverse several anti-abortion provisions that were included in the state budget passed last year. The committee is expected to make changes to the measure before voting on it later Tuesday night. The full House could vote today. Earlier, the panel heard testimony on a change that would allow chiropractors to return young athletes to play after suffering a concussion. The amendment comes after a new law requiring coaches, volunteers and officials in youth sports organizations to have players who show concussion-like symptoms sit out games or practices until they are checked and cleared by a doctor or licensed health care provider.

Susans pony gives birth

BY LOVINA EICHER April is here, bringing us warmer temperatures. Monday was nice and warm. We hung all the laundry outside on the lines. By evening all of it was dry. How nice to be able to wash the clothes and put them away the same day. It is laundry day again today but it doesnt look like we will be able to hang the clothes outside. It is rainy and very windy. Im wondering if we could have a thunderstorm yet today. The frost in the ground is leaving more every day so hopefully it will be okay to get some early garden planted a few weeks from now. Time will tell if the winter weather is over with. The excitement last night was that daughter Susans pony, Roxie, gave birth to a cute little foal. Susan is still undecided what to name him. Daughter Elizabeths friend, Timothy, had his second horse give birth to a foal this week. He has another horse that should deliver soon. He has some frisky little foals running around on nice days outside. Susan spent Tuesday evening at her friend Moses house. Moses sister, Marilyn, and some of her children were visiting from Iowa. Most of Moses family gathered at their parents house so they could all get to visit with her. Daughter Verena and I have been cleaning out the kitchen cabinets. Things seem to accumulate and get disorganized from one cleaning to the next. It will be so relaxing once everything is cleaned for the upcoming church services we will host here soon. My sewing is getting pushed back again. Hopefully it can wait until the garden is planted, but all that depends on the weather. Sunday, my sisters Susan and Verena invited Jacob, Emma, and family and our family for dinner. They had a delicious meal. On the menu was a haystack, which is layering foods on top of each other on your plate, usually foods such as crushed Doritos, crushed saltine crackers, taco-seasoned hamburger, lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, hot peppers, onions, spaghetties, cheese sauce, salsa and ranch dressing. For dessert, there was cinnamon rolls, Reeses pudding, ice cream, peanut butter bars, finger jello, cottage cheese dessert. Homemade bread, butter, and jam were also on the menu. The men and boys spent the afternoon playing croquet and taking advantage of the nice weather. The rest of us

visited and looked through the new cookbook sisters Verena and Susan put together and self-published. They gave each of us one and all the children one, too. The recipes they gathered from our family members makes it very interesting. They have lots and lots of boxes of them they want to sell in stores. The Reeses pudding recipe I made to take along Sunday was in that cookbook. I will share it with you readers. REESES PUDDING 1 cup powdered sugar 1 /3 cup peanut butter 8 ounces cream cheese 3 cups whipped cream 3 cups milk 1 4-ounce instant chocolate pudding 1 4-ounce instant vanilla pudding 2 to 3 cups crushed graham crackers 1 /2 cup melted margarine or butter 8 ounces whipped topping to put on top Reeses cups for garnish In a 9-x-13 pan, prepare a graham cracker crust by pouring the melted margarine over the graham crackers in the pan, pressing down. Mix powdered sugar, cream cheese, peanut butter, and whipped cream and pour on top of crust. Mix milk and puddings and pour over cream cheese mixture.

Spencerville scores 5 in 5th to defeat Jays Jefferson ekes out 1-0

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Play Ball! Thats two words that Coach Ryan Warnecke and his Blue Jay baseball team have been waiting to hear after five games in a row were washed out by rain. After opening the season with losses to powerhouses Wapakoneta and Crestview, two games at Jefferson, a doubleheader at Antwerp and a game at Shawnee were all rained out. Spencerville scored five runs in the fifth inning Tuesday night at Stadium Park to break a 4-4 tieand eventually grab a 10-5 victory to improve to 3-2 on the season, while the Jays dropped to 0-3. The Bearcats loaded the bases in top of the fifth inning without a hit after three straight walks. James Schaads fielders choice scored Hunter French from third base to break the deadlock. An error by the St. Johns infield led to two more unearned runs and Coach Warnecke to grab a bottle of antacids as the Blue Jays fielding woes continued. After pitcher T.J. Hoersten recorded two outs, a grounder to shortstop appeared to get the final out of the inning. The throw to first sailed over Jesse Dittos head at first base and the Bearcats led 9-4. The Bearcats scored once more in the seventh inning as Bubba Shimp singled to center with two. Frenchs grounder to short was overthrown at third base to score Shimp and Spencervilles lead was six runs. The Bearcats scoring was halted by a great defensive play when Wyatt Krouskops grounder found its way to Ben Wrasman in center field. Wrasmans laser throw to teammate Hoersten at second base nailed the Spencerville runner for the final out of the inning. St. Johns didnt go down without a fight as they rallied in the bottom of the inning. With one out, J.R. Keirns singled to right field but was gunned down at third base on Jesse Dittos grounder. Josh Warneckes single to left center plated Ditto to cut the lead in half 10-5. Austin Heiing walked and Hoersten singled to left to load the bases. The game ended when Wrasmans roller down the base-line was grabbed by the third baseman, who stepped the bag to secure the win. Bearcat head coach Troy Montenery was pleased with his young teams performance. We started four freshman and four sophomores and we beat a good MAC squad tonight. We had great pitching from Jacob Meyer and Thad Ringwald as they kept us in the game. That fifth inning was big as we came up with some big hits to score five runs to break open a close game, he explained. Blue Jay starting pitcher Jacob Youngpeter struck out the first two batters he faced in the first inning to open the game. Meyer walked and stole second and third base and came come on an RBI double by Shimp. The home team scored in the bottom of the first when Hoersten singled, Wrasman walked and Buddy Jackson hit a double to score Hoersten. The Jays took the lead in the next inning after holding Spencerville scoreless. Ditto singled to right and Heiing scorched a double to left. Hoersten followed with another double to score both runners and the Jays led briefly 3-1. Krouskop tied the score in the next at-bat for Spencerville with a pair of runs batted in on a single to center field. The back and forth scoring continued as the Jays took a 4-3 lead on a sacrifice fly by Gage Seffernick and Spencerville came right back after loading the bases to even the score at four after four innings. After the game, Coach Warnecke was pleased by the pitching of his staff. This was the first time out for Jacob Youngpeter and he did a good job with five strikeouts and limited innings. T.J kept us in the game and Jorden Boone had a good outing. Its the same story in the loss; mental mistakes in the field cost us the game, he added. St. Johns left the bases loaded twice in the contest and left a total of 11 runners on base. Spencerville left nine runners on base. The next game for St. Johns will be tonight at Stadium Park against Lima Central Catholic. Spencerville hosts Bluffton Thursday. By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

triumph over Miller City

DELPHOS In high school baseball, pitching is usually far advanced of the batting, especially early on. Therefore, it becomes important to find ways to score runs. Jefferson did that Tuesday night at Wildcat Field, eking out a 1-0 non-league dandy over Miller City. The game was moved from the Miller City park in the afternoon due to wet conditions. The hosts used three senior pitchers: starter and winner Jordan Herron (1-0; 3 IPs, 1 hit, 2 BB, 2 Ks), Ross Thompson (1 IP, 1 hit, 1 K) and Austin Jettinghoff (1st save; 3 IPs, 2 hits, 3 Ks); combining for 92 pitches total. That was our plan because of how the schedule sets up this week. We were going to limit Jordan to no more than 45 pitches so he could come back and throw in relief Friday, Jefferson coach Doug Geary explained. Today was Rosss hump day and he got an inning with the intent to start against Paulding Friday. We got Austin some innings so he could come back later this week. We pitched and defended Herron well today. Even when we had errors they are a part of the game we didnt hang our heads; we came back and made plays. We didnt compound one error with another. Miller City head man Dusty Pester was very pleased with his pitching and defense as well. Ross pitched well enough to win, without question. He fell behind in the count early on in the game and had to battle back, Pester acknowledged. As the game went on, in the middle and later innings, he settled into a groove. No doubt that the pitching is well ahead of the offense right now, especially with the way the spring has played out. We played well behind him as well. The hosts (3-2) pushed across the only run in the bottom of the third frame against visiting Wildcat starter and ace Ross Lehman (1-1; 6 innings, 3 hits, 1 earned run, 2 bases-on-balls, 8 strikeouts; 81 pitches, 50 for strikes). Tyler Rice led off with a slash to right center and Ryan Bullinger bunted him up a base. Jace Stockwell bounced back to Lehman, who alertly found Rice too far off second; a rundown ended up with him being tagged out. However, Austin Jettinghoff launched a triple to the fence in center, scoring Thompson Stockwell. Ross Thompson walked but Hunter Binkley was retired for the third out. Miller City got a 2-out base knock by Jeremy Balbaugh against Thompson but he went nowhere. The visitors threatened Jettinghoff in the top of the fifth. Lefty-swinging Logan Dukes lined a hit the opposite way and moved up on a wild pitch. Two outs later, Adam Drummelsmith got aboard via a throwing error but they stranded both runners as Lehman lined out hard to right fielder Rice. Miller City kept trying in the sixth. With one down, Adam Niese beat out a slow roller down the third-base line and gained second on a throwing error. Balbaugh reached on an error but once more, Jettinghoff stranded both runners with a strikeout and groundout. After Lehman retired them 1-2-3 in the fourth and fifth, the Red and White threatened in the sixth. Jettinghoff singled into left and Thompson was hit by a pitch. However, Lehman fanned the next three to keep the game at one run. Down to their last at-bats, Jettinghoff retired Miller City in order in the seventh to end the contest. Miller City got its leadoff batter, Hunter Berner, on board via an error to open the contest and he stole second. An out later, he was picked off base by Herron and the next batter fanned. Jettinghoff Jace Stockwell led off the Delphos first with a walk and reached second on an error on a pickoff try. However, Lehman got out of the inning unscathed. Jared Fuka led off the top half of the second with a free pass and but was forced out on a Niese grounder. He attained third on a Balbaugh grounder and a passed ball but could not touch home. The guests had another chance in the top of the third. With one away, Travis Maag walked and Berner beat out an infield hit to the hole at short. However, Drummelsmith forced Maag at third, as did Lehman to Berner to end the rebellion. See JEFFERSON, page 8
Rockets soar by Musketeers in PCL baseball

By DAVE BONINSEGNA DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com PANDORA Despite most of the baseball and softball games in the area being postponed due to poor field conditions, the Fort Jennings Musketeers and PandoraGilboa Rockets braved the wind and cold for a Putnam County League baseball showdown. The Rockets were trying to remain among the ranks of the unbeaten, while the Musketeers were trying to make it two in a row in PCL play. The hosts had scored 32 runs in their previous two games and were off to a similar start, scoring three runs in the first and adding two more in the second to come away with a 5-2 victory. Jacob Basinger threw 4 1/3 innings of no-hit baseball until Conner Wallenhorst broke up the no-no with a double and later scored on a Ryan Rau single. Dustin Rieman reached for the Rockets on a single and moved to second when Reed Hovest grounded to short but was safe on a throwing error, moving Rieman to third. One out later, Jennings pitcher Rau balked, scoring Rieman to give the home team a 1-0 lead. Jacob Basinger drew a base-on-balls, putting runners on the corners for the home team. Hovest then scored from third on a wild pitch to make it a 2-0 score, then TJ Kopplinger singled home Basinger to give the Rockets a three spot in the first inning. The Rockets would tack on two more in the second frame after Rau got backto-back strikeouts. Brain Schneck walked, Rieman was hit by a pitch and Hovest singled. Then with the bases loaded, Basinger singled home Schneck and Rieman to make it 5-0, but things could have been worse for the Musketeers if not for a heads-up play by Rau and shortstop Mark Metzger. The Fort Jennings tandem caught Hovest in a rundown trying to take third and tagged out the P-G catcher for the third out of the inning. The next three innings would be a pitchers duel as Rau and Rockets hurler Basinger matched each other inning for inning. The guests got on the board in the fifth when Wallenhorst doubled, followed by a Dylan Van Loo single to put runners on the corners with one out. Metzger bunted Van Loo to second to move the runners to second and third with two out. Rau then singled home both Wallenhorst and Van Loo but was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double, making it a 5-2 contest heading into the sixth. Neither team would threaten from there. Rieman and Alex Osborn would finish out the game on the mound for P-G with the Rockets setting down six of the last seven Musketeer batters to improve to 3-0 on the early season. Fort Jennings falls to 1-2 overall and 1-1 in the PCL. The Musketeers visit Crestview today.

UConn routs Notre Dame 79-58, wins 9th title

By DOUG FEINBERG Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. Geno Auriemma and Connecticut stand alone in womens college basketball and they reached the top in unprecedented fashion. The Huskies routed Notre Dame 79-58 in the first championship game featuring undefeated teams, winning their record ninth national title. Auriemma broke a tie with Pat Summitt and Tennessee for most all-time, doing it in her backyard. Breanna Stewart, who was The Associated Press Player of the Year, scored 21 points to lead the Huskies (40-0) while Stefanie Dolson added 17 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists. Auriemma took out his senior center with a minute left and the game well in hand with the pair embracing in a long hug. We beat a great, great team, Auriemma said. Notre Dame is a great team. For them to have the season they had and lose their starting center and to do what they did, I cant say enough about their players, coaching staff and it took everything we have. I knew if we played great wed have a chance to win. The victory also meant that UConn is now the center of the college basketball world with both the mens and womens teams winning the championship in the same year again. The mens team beat Kentucky in the title game Monday night. This pair of victories came a decade after the Huskies became the only school to accomplish the feat. I couldnt be prouder of what the men did last night, Auriemma said. Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw congratulated the UConn coach when they shook hands after the game. I said something like, I thought we were playing the Miami Heat for a while you guys are just that good. What a great season, you know things like that, McGraw said. I thought LeBron was the only thing they were missing. While the names change at UConn,

from Rebecca Lobo to Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore and now Stewart, Auriemma has been the constant, winning nine titles in only 20 seasons including the last two. Hes never lost in a national championship game. Congratulations to the UConn Huskies for winning the 2014 NCAA National Championship! Summitt wrote in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. My compliments also to coach Geno Auriemma for winning his ninth national title. He has accomplished this feat in record time. It was the fifth unbeaten season for Auriemma and UConn and the first time the Huskies went 40-0 matching Baylor as the only schools to accomplish that feat. The victory was also Connecticuts 46th straight dating back to last seasons NCAA tournament title run. Its the third longest streak in school history well short of the NCAA record 90 straight they won. See UCONN, page 8

Huskies again star in the underdog role

Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas The Connecticut Huskies lost their coach, their teammates, their chance to play at the NCAA tournament for a year. They were castoffs, unwanted mutts without a home, told they had no chance. Well, look whos woofing now. Playing with a chip-on-their-shoulder mentality and poise down the stretch, UConn starred in the underdog role for the second time in four years, knocking off Kentucky 60-54 Monday night in North Texas. It feels so good to prove the world wrong, UConn junior guard Ryan Boatright said. It was quite a journey to get here. UConn won a national title in 2011 behind do-it-all guard Kemba Walker. One setback after another followed. Coach Jim Calhoun retired in 2012. Players left the program, three who transferred away and two who left for the NBA. The Huskies were barred from the 2013 tournament for failing to meet NCAA academic standards. They scrambled to find a home after the Big East blew up, landing in the American Athletic Conference. UConn fought its way through last season, winning 20 games despite no hope of playing in the postseason, yet still was dismissed heading into this season. The Huskies turned a few heads with an opening 9-game winning streak but were given little chance of making a run after stumbling late in the season. Of the 11.01 million brackets submitted on ESPN.com, only 0.3 percent picked them to win it all. UConn continued to go against the grain of public opinion as it advanced through the bracket, beating the odds while knocking off Villanova, Iowa State, Michigan State and topseeded Florida to reach the championship game. Again, the Huskies were not supposed to win, told they were no match for the length and athleticism of Kentuckys one-and-done freshmen, expected to get run over by those speedy Cats. Again, they wouldnt listen. Relying on its veteran leaders, UConn jumped to a big early lead, kept its composure whenever Kentucky tried to make a run and counterpunched every time the Wildcats landed a blow. Senior Shabazz Napier took what he learned from Walker, his mentor, and became the leader who took the Huskies to a title, finishing with 22 points and six rebounds to bookend his career with national championships. Gritty Ryan Boatright gave Kentucky fits at both ends all night, scoring 14 points while teaming with Napier to lock down the Wildcats heralded twins, Aaron and Andrew Harrison. Kevin Ollie proved a more-than-able caretaker of the program Calhoun built, creating his own legacy by becoming the first coach to win a national title within two years on his first Division I job since Michigans Steve Fisher in 1989. When it was over and the confetti fell, the seventh-seeded Huskies were on top of the college basketball for the fourth time as a program. UConn is highest seed to win a national title since Rollie Massimino and eighth-seeded Villanova won it in 1985. The Huskies are the first team since Arizona in 1997 to win a national championship without winning a conference regular-season or tournament title. They also won the national title without playing in the NCAA tournament or NIT the season before, a first since North Carolina State in 1974. Youve got to continue to believe, said Napier, the Final Fours Most Outstanding Player. We had faith in each other and we are here. We won the whole thing. We didnt listen to any doubters. We just went out there and did what we had to do. UConns title served as a validation of sorts for Ollie. He was not an entirely popular choice to lead the Huskies when Calhoun stepped down.

Murphy drives in 4, Indians beat Padres 8-6

By TOM WITHERS Associated Press his first homer since signing with Cleveland as a free agent. Ross fielding error he dropped the ball covering first with one out set up the inning. Lonnie Chisenhall followed with a single and both runners moved up on a wild pitch. Ross got Yan Gomes on a grounder to third before he grooved a 3-1 pitch to Murphy, who knocked it into the right-field seats. Before the game, Indians manager Terry Francona couldnt wait to soak in some rare sunshine at Progressive Field. Im excited to get out there, man, Francona added. Im ready to go. We feel like weve been cooped up in here until game time. Despite getting in some extra cuts, the Indians had only one hit through three innings but led 3-0. They scored three runs in the third, when two walks, an error and passed ball by the Padres helped their cause. Ross walked Gomes and Murphy before Yasmani Grandals passed ball put runners at first and third. Morgan hit a grounder toward right that second baseman Gyorko stopped with nice play before throwing wildly past second as Gomes scored and Murphy hustled to third. Nick Swisher hit an RBI groundout and Jason Kipnis delivered a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0. Gyorko atoned for his mistake in the fourth with a 2-run double, bringing in only San Diegos 13th and 14th runs in seven games this season.
Roundup
CLEVELAND David Murphy hit a 3-run homer and had four RBIs as the Cleveland Indians took advantage of outdoor batting practice and San Diegos sloppiness to beat the Padres 8-6 on Tuesday night in their delayed interleague series opener. Murphys shot in the fourth inning off Tyson Ross (0-2) gave the Indians a 6-2 lead. He added an RBI double in the sixth and is 6-for-8 with a homer and five RBIs in his past two games. Corey Kluber (1-1) bounced back from a rough season debut in Oakland and pitched six solid innings. John Axford stopped San Diegos rally in the ninth for his third save. The Indians were rained out for the second time Monday and have endured wintry conditions so far at home. Theyve only had BP on the field twice and have scored 15 runs in those games. Nyjer Morgan had three hits and two RBIs for the Indians, who will play their second doubleheader this season today. Jedd Gyorko had three RBIs, Everth Cabrera had three doubles and Xavier Nady homered in the ninth, when the Padres scored three runs off reliever Vinnie Pestano before Axford closed it out. With the Indians leading 3-2, Murphy, who had four hits in Sundays loss to Minnesota, gave the Indians a 4-run cushion with

Anderson sweeps Lady Beavers on the diamond By Ryan Schadewald Sports information assistant BLUFFTON The Anderson University softball team extended its winning streak to 16 games and remained unbeaten in Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference action as the Ravens swept a doubleheader with Bluffton University Tuesday, spoiling Strike Out Cancer Day for the home crowd. The Ravens improved to 17-2 on the season and 8-0 in HCAC play while the Beavers dropped to 16-10 and 6-4 in the conference. Game 1 started slowly with two shutout innings before the Ravens exploded for four runs in the top half of the third inning. The Beavers got one of those runs back in the bottom half as Jessica Kuzara (Flat Rock, Mich./Huron) singled home Chelsea Weitz (Dayton/ Carroll) after Weitz and Brittany Baker (Springboro) laced one-out base knocks. The Ravens would add
two more in the fourth and sixth and one in the seventh. The Beavers rallied in the bottom of the seventh, scoring three runs before the Ravens sealed the deal for their 9-4 victory. Baker and Jo Bondra (Highland Heights/Mayfield) drove in runs as Bluffton put together five hits in the final frame. In the early game, Brittany Baker and Kuzara would each get three knocks, with an RBI and run scored as well. The other two seventh inning runs were scored on a Jo Bondra double. Junior Chloe Shell (Covington) took the loss, pitching all seven innings and falling to 7-5 after allowing eight runs on 14 hits. The second game would begin the way that the first ended with four runs from the Anderson Ravens in the opening two innings off freshman starter Emily Scupholm (Cuyahoga Falls/ Our Lady of the Elms). After two quiet frames, Anderson added another run in the fifth inning. The Beavers attempted to rally in the sixth inning, get-
ting one back on a single up the middle from Kuzara and another on a base knock from Jo Bondra. That was all the Beavers could muster thanks to another inningending twin killing and they went down in order in the seventh to suffer a 5-2 loss in the nightcap. The Beavers only mustered up six hits in game two, with two of them coming from Emily Kolezynski (Strongsville), who also came in for two innings of perfect relief on the mound. Kuzara also went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a run scored and a walk. The loss was the first of the season for freshman Emily Scupholm who is now 5-1 on the season. She allowed five runs on eight hits in five innings of work. The Beavers return to HCAC action on Saturday when they travel to Franklin College. After a trip to Manchester on the 15th, the Beavers will play four home games in two days against Madonna University and Hanover College on April 18 and 19. Those games begin at 3:30 p.m. and 1 p.m., respectively.

Without Tiger, the Masters has an open look

Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. One after another, some of the worlds best players and favorites to win the Masters trudged up the hill on the opening hole to start their practice rounds. Phil Mickelson. Rory McIlroy. Adam Scott. It was typical of any Tuesday at Augusta National, except for the scoreboard to the right of where they were walking. The board has the names of all 97 players in the field, with blank boxes to put their scores when the tournament begins. On the far right side of the board is a list of this years noncompeting invitees. Tommy Aaron. Doug Ford. Tiger Woods. Its a weird feeling not having him here, isnt it? asked Mickelson, a 3-time Masters champion and the chief foil for Woods over the years. Hes been such a mainstay in professional golf and in the majors. Its awkward to not have him here. I hope he gets back soon. I hope hes back for the other majors. As much as I want to win and I know how great he is and tough to beat it makes it special when hes in the field and youre able to win. Woods hasnt been the same all year, even before back surgery last week. He is missing the Masters for the first time. His presence looms as large as some of the Georgia pines lining the fairways, though it will be forgotten when the opening shot is in the air Thursday, and a green jacket is awarded Sunday. Even so, Woods brings a buzz to any tournament, even at Augusta National. And this year, his absence has brought talk of the most wide-open Masters in nearly 20 years. Las Vegas has installed Scott and (Continued from page 7) McIlroy as the betting favorites at 10-1, followed by Mickelson, Jason Day and Matt Kuchar at 12-1. McIlroy had his own version of a betting sheet on the table where he sat during his interview the tee times for the opening two rounds. Told that 97 players were in the field, the 24-year-old from Northern Ireland figured 70 had a chance to win. Theres a few past champions that play that might not be able to compete. There might be a few first-timers or a few amateurs that wont compete, McIlroy said. But then youve got the rest. Im just looking down the list here. Stewart Cink. Tim Clark. Ian Woosnam no. The room filled with laughter as McIlroy smiled and said, Sorry, Woosie, referring to the 56-yearold former champion. Youve got a lot of guys that can win, a lot of guys that have won PGA Tour events, McIlroy added. OK, were playing at Augusta. Because its the Masters and because its so big and so hyped up or whatever you want to say, you ought to remember that youre still playing against the same guys you play with week in and week out. Ive beaten them before. Theyve beaten me before. The PGA Tour is 21 tournaments into the season and only one player (Zach Johnson) won while he was in the top 10 in the world. McIlroy and Scott each had comfortable leads going into the final round and lost to players outside the top 100. I think in the past, certainly thats been easy to go to events and look at a guy who is the guy to beat, Scott said, not naming Woods because he didnt need to. I think that scope has kind of broadened now. Theres a lot of guys with the talent and the form that arent necessarily standing out above the others. But on their week, theyre going to be tough to beat. Id like to think my name is one of those guys. And I feel like Im going to be one of the guys who has got a chance if I play well this week. Scott had one more occasion to wear his green jacket Tuesday night as host of the Champions Dinner. Then, he sets out in a bid to join Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Woods as the only players to win back-to-back Masters. For years, the Masters was seen as having the smallest group of contenders and not just because it had the smallest field of the four majors. Augusta National is a puzzle that can take years to figure out. The roars that reverberate through the trees and from deep in Amen Corner on Sunday can be unsettling. Scott won two years after he was a runnerup. Jason Day has completed two Masters and has yet to finish worse than third. As for Mickelson? Theres no telling what he might accomplish next. Even though he has withdrawn from two tournaments with different injuries this year, Augusta invigorates the

43-year-old Mickelson. All of them would love to be near the top of the leaderboard Sunday afternoon. By then, no one will be thinking about anything except a green jacket. Lefty has Masters covered, except for small change: There was a time around here when Mickelsons nerves were stretched so tight, you could bounce a quarter off em and have it land in Atlanta. That was exactly 10 years, five majors and three green jackets ago. He arrived that week 0-for-42 in the tournaments that matter and left as one of the most contented men on the planet. Back at the scene of that first major win for his interview session Tuesday, Mickelson was charming and so much the master of his domain you half-expected him to wade into the gathering of reporters and pull that same quarter out from behind someones ear. Now 43, Lefty was at ease, deftly tucking many of those reporters first names into his answers and lavishing praise on the conditions at Augusta National and even long-time rival Woods. Then again, he could afford to be gracious. Mickelson sat down at the podium fresh off a big win in one of those high-stakes practice rounds for which hes become notorious. The longer he goes on spinning tales that are insightful or funny and sometimes both the more Mickelson sounds like one of the games elder statesmen. But unlike Jack Nicklaus, 74, and Arnold Palmer, 84, who reminisced about his last major win 50 years ago, Mickelson is still a very real threat to win every time he tees it up.
Ollie played in Storrs and had a 13-year NBA career but had never been a coach before joining Calhouns staff as an assistant. After two short years, he was handed the reins to one of college basketballs most storied programs. The 41-year-old handled it well, combining Calhouns old-school methods with his own eternal enthusiasm to urge the Huskies to fight past limitations others placed on them. By doing so, Ollie not only proved he could fill Calhouns shoes, he joined an elite group of Georgetowns John Thompson, Arkansas Nolan Richardson and Kentuckys Tubby Smith as the

First home is a strain Apollos Adult Medical Assisting program receives 10-year accreditation on bank account
Information submitted Its the highest level of accreditation Apollos Medical Assisting program could receive. The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Program (CAAHEP) just awarded the growing allied health program at Apollo a 10-year accreditation with no recommendations. Apollo is the only school in the region to achieve such high marks. Not only is this recognition an honor, but another example of how Apollos Adult Education is committed to providing high quality programs that meet the needs of the community, Apollos Allied Health Manager Tara Shepherd said. Recently, agency surveyors conducted an intensive on-site review of over 183 areas of interest including student outcomes, curriculum, management of the program, policies, procedures, as well as faculty and student interviews. The actual survey was conducted by the Medical Assisting Education Review Board (MAERB). Apollo will become eligible again for review in 2023. Apollos medical assistants are cross trained to perform both administrative and clinical duties. It makes the medical assistant very versatile, working alongside physicians, mainly in outpatient or ambulatory care facilities, such as medical offices and clinics. They will explain treatment procedures to patients, prepare them for exams and tests, educate them on medication and how to manage their condition to greeting patients and facilitating coding and insurance billing. As a result, medical assisting is one of the nations fastest growing careers, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, attributing job growth to the following: Predicted surge in the number of physicians offices and outpatient care facilities Technological advancements Growing number of elderly Americans who need medical treatment. DEAR BRUCE: I just purchased my first home in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It is a very modest home with a picture-perfect white fence. I paid $125,000 for the home. How long do you have to live in a home, or how much do you have to pay on the mortgage, in order to qualify for a refinance? Now that I moved in, and the bills and repairs are milking my checking account, I am scared I wont be able to stay above water. -- G.P., via email DEAR G.P.: There is no magic time period. If the home goes up in value, then its possible to refinance. Generally, its going to be a couple of years before anyone will seriously consider you for refinancing, assuming the value of the home has increased. What I am concerned about is your worry that you wont be able to stay above water on your mortgage, which means you paid more than you could afford. Thats the simple reality. Let me suggest you might wish to consider getting a parttime job. Even if you work for minimum wage in a hamburger joint for 25 hours a week, at $8 an hour, that is $200 a week. I am certain that money, even after taxes, would go a long way toward taking the pressure off. You wont have as much time to enjoy the home, but you will be certain you wont be losing it. DEAR BRUCE: Is it better to close a credit card account or just cut up the card and forget about it? I dont use it, so why bother having it? I think I read that it doesnt help your credit score to close it and might hurt it. Please explain. -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: If you dont use a credit card, you may ask why bother having it? The answer is, the more credit you have available, the less you have to place on one source. In other words, if you have five credit cards with a $2,000 limit, you have $10,000 in credit available. If you control your spending so you owe no more than $5,000, you are well thought of by the credit community. Lets assume you get rid of two cards. Now you have only $6,000 available and still owe $5,000. Now you are pushing the limits of your credit, and that is not good for your score. If you simply close out an account, it can hurt your credit, but that will recover, other things being equal. If there are no costs associated with the card, such as a monthly or yearly charge, just put it away and let it run. It will not hurt your credit in that regard. DEAR BRUCE: I would like to help my great-grand-

children by starting a Roth IRA for each of them (total of four). How do I start this process? Do I need a broker, or can I just go through a banker? -- D.M., via email DEAR D.M.: First of all, understand that you cant start a Roth IRA for any of the children unless they have earned the amount of money you want to contribute. It doesnt necessarily mean they have to put the money in, but if you want to put $1,000 into a Roth, they must have earned and reported $1,000 of income. Do you need a broker? Not necessarily, but I would not consider doing it without one. Your banker could act for you. I would use a broker, but keep in mind that each great-grandchild has to earn (in a tax year) as much as youre going to put into the Roth. DEAR BRUCE: We bought a home in Florida five years ago for our son to share with two friends, all sharing the bills equally. We did this while my son attended college so he would not have to worry about bills and he could get the best education. We are paying his share. He will be graduating in 2014. After that we will sell the home. My question is, when we sell the home, we want to give our son the remaining money after the note is paid. Do we have to pay any taxes? Is there something we need to do? The leftover amount will be around $31,000. -- N.K., via email DEAR N.K.: Your son is a lucky fellow. I am not certain how you will have that much money leftover, but if you choose to, you may give it to him without any tax consequences. You say we, so I assume that means you and your spouse, which means you can give your son $28,000, $14,000 apiece, one year and the remaining $3,000 the following. Doing it this way, there are no taxes to be paid. I am inclined to ask why you want to give this much money to your son. Why not put the money away into a separate account and let him earn his way? If he really needs it, you can give him all or part. (Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams.com. Questions of general interest will be answered in future columns.

US stocks rise for the first time in four days

NEW YORK (AP) Maybe the sell-off was a little overdone. That was the sentiment on Wall Street Tuesday as the stock market broke a three-day losing streak. The gain pushed the Standard & Poors 500 index back into positive territory for the year. The rebound was driven partly by bargain-hunting as investors picked up stocks that hold fallen the most in the slump over the previous three days. Utilities stocks also rose sharply as skittish investors bought less volatile stocks. Longer-term investors should really use this as an opportunity to buy attractive areas that have sold off, said Kristina Hooper, US Investment Strategist at Allianz Global Investors. For them, stocks are on sale. Stocks have had a volatile start to April. After closing at a record last Wednesday amid optimism about the improving outlook for the economy, stocks fell sharply on Friday as investors decided that some of the high-flying stocks in the technology and biotech sectors no longer justified their lofty valuations. The S&P 500 rose 6.92 points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,851.96. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 10.27 points, or 0.06 percent, to 16,256.14. The Nasdaq composite rose 33.23 points, or 0.8 percent, to 4,112.99. Even as investors sent stocks higher, they were still being cautious. Investors typically buy utilities stocks when they are worried about volatility in the market. Thats because those companies pay big dividends and demand for the power they generate tends to be stable, regardless of how the economy is doing. On Tuesday, the utilities sector rose 1.5 percent. The sector has gained 10.5 percent this year, making it by far the best performing industry group in the S&P 500. Health care stocks are the next best performers, gaining 2.7 percent over the same period. Technology stocks and consumer discretionary stocks, among the biggest decliners in the three-day sell-off, also logged gains on Tuesday. Facebook rose $1.24, or 2.2 percent, to $58.19. Googles class newly issued C shares rose $16.75, or 3.1 percent, to $554.90. The recent volatility is making it tough for investors who are looking to get back into stocks after switching their investments to cash and bonds in the aftermath of the financial crisis and the Great Recession, said Mike Mussio, a managing director with FBB Capital Partners, a wealth management company.
Obama signs actions taking aim at gender pay gap

JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press WASHINGTON In a concerted election-year push to draw attention to womens wages, President Barack Obama signed directives Tuesday that would make it easier for workers of federal contractors to get information about workplace compensation. He seasoned his move with a sharp rebuke of Republicans whom he accused of gumming up the works on workplace fairness. Obama made a clear partisan appeal to women with an executive order that prohibits federal contractors from retaliating against workers who discuss their pay. He also directed the Labor Department to issue rules requiring federal contractors to provide aggregate compensation data by race and gender. This is about Republicans seemingly opposing any efforts to even the playing field for working families, Obama said at a White House signing ceremony, surrounded by women advocates and accompanied by Lilly Ledbetter, a woman whose namesake legislation on pay equity was the first bill Obama signed into law in 2009. Obamas executive order and directive to the Labor Department dovetailed with the start of Senate debate on broader legislation that would make it easier for workers to sue companies for paying women less because of their gender. White the presidents actions affect only federal contractors, those directives can have a wide and direct impact. Federal contracting covers nearly one-quarter of the U.S. workforce and includes companies ranging from Boeing to small parts suppliers and service providers. Such actions also can be largely symbolic, designed to spur action in the broader economy.
The Senate legislation, like Obamas narrower executive order, would forbid companies from punishing workers who share salary information and would allow punitive and compensatory damages in lawsuits. The National Labor Relations Board and some federal courts already have said that company pay secrecy rules are prohibited under the National Labor Relations Act. But cases against violators can only be brought by the NLRB on the basis of a complaint. The Senate bill, however, would spell out the prohibition and allow private lawsuits, which could be more financially penalizing than NLRB actions. Pay secrecy fosters discrimination, and we should not tolerate it, not in federal contracting or anywhere else, Obama said. Backed by business groups, Republicans are expected to block the bill when the Senate holds a showdown vote, probably today. The GOP derailed similar legislation in the Senate the past two election years, 2012 and 2010. Even so, Democrats are pushing the bill, sponsored by Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., as part of a campaign-season agenda designed to contrast their efforts to help middle-income voters with Republicans, and to motivate pivotal Democratic-leaning voting blocs like women. Underscoring the politics behind the efforts, Democrats were aggressively soliciting campaign contributions, accusing Republicans of standing in the way of pay equity. Democratic Sens. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Chris Coons of Delaware, for instance, sent out emails Tuesday drawing attention to the pay gap and directing supporters to a contribution site that was compiling donations for House and Senate Democrats.
GM to invest $449M in 2 Detroit-area factories

DETROIT (AP) General Motors plans to invest $449 million in two Detroit-area factories to build the next-generation Chevrolet Volt hybrid electric car and two unspecified new vehicles. The company said the investment eventually will bring a second shift at the Detroit assembly plant that makes the Volt and other cars. But it wouldnt say how many jobs would be added or when the people would be hired. The plant now employs about 1,600 on a single shift. GM says it will invest $384 million at the assembly plant and another $65 million in a battery pack plant in nearby Brownstown Township. The company also didnt release any details on the next generation Volt. The current version can go about 38 miles on battery power before a small gasoline generator kicks in. The assembly plant, which straddles the border of Detroit and the enclave of Hamtramck, also makes the Opel Ampera, a version of the Volt sold in Europe and other areas, and the Cadillac ELR, a luxury version of the Volt. The same assembly line also makes the Chevrolet Impala and Malibu sedans. Spokesman Dave Darovitz said the company also confirmed that two future products would go to the plant, but he would not identify them. One is likely to be a new large rear-wheel-drive Cadillac now code-named the Omega. Darovitz said the battery plant, which now employs about 100 people, also will see additional hiring. But he said the number of new jobs at both plants will be revealed at a later date. GM says that since 2009 it has announced more than $5.4 billion worth of investments in its U.S. facilities, including more than $2.8 billion in Michigan.

the series on DVD. I want to know what happened to Martin Milner and George Maharis? -- P.L., Owosso, Mich. A: Martin Milner continued with his acting career into the late 1990s, guest starring in many popular television shows. He also co-hosted the radio show Lets Talk Hook-up, a program about fly-fishing -- his passion. He retired from the show in 2004 due to health issues. He lives in Southern California with his wife, Judy. They married in 1957 and had four children. Milner is 80 years old. George Maharis appeared in several movies and another TV series -- The Most Deadly Game -- after leaving Route 66. As a youth he wanted to be a singer, and he released several albums and made personal appearances as an adult. He later became a painter. Maharis is 84 years old. Q: I love bagpipe music, and I go to any event where it is being played. I have a question about the dress of the bagpipe players: They have a pouch below the belt in the front. What is the pouch for? Does it have a name? -- S.B., Ankeny, Iowa A: The pouch is called a sporran. It serves as a pocket for the pocketless Scottish kilt. Sporran is Gaelic for purse. Q: I was at a yard sale, where I bought what the seller called a Pigeon lamp. What did I buy? -G.B., Baraboo, Wis. A: Well, you bought a Pigeon lamp. Charles-Joseph Pigeon (1838-1915) invented the lamp in 1884. He worked as a salesman for a Paris department store and became a dealer in lamps. The Pigeon lamp, a nonexploding safety lamp, made him famous and wealthy.

THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2014 It will take a lot of energy to meet the goals youve set. It will be important to accept help and to call in favors. Dont be too proud to let those youve aided in the past return the favor. You will be respected for your perseverance. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Gather together with friends who share your passion and vision. You can mix business and pleasure while collaborating on a new venture. Your final result could prove very lucrative. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take a backseat and relax for a change. Let others make decisions. Pick your battles and dont let a difference of opinion turn into a major problem. Strive for equality. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your home and work environment will be filled with tension if you gossip or get involved in other peoples business. Stick to your chores and stay out of trouble. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you have ideas for improvement at your workplace, speak up. Even if your suggestions are not acted upon, you will gain respect and credit for making the offer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your emotions are on a rollercoaster ride, with you tearful one moment and cheerful the next. Dont let this instability lead to an impulsive decision that can influence a contract or promise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Dont reveal too many details about what you are up to. A colleague may be trying to get ahead at your expense. Someone who seems overly enthusiastic could have an ulterior motive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Keep an open mind today. A casual remark from an old friend will give new spark to your creativity. A trip to an unfamiliar location will result in a rewarding partnership. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You dont appreciate being scrutinized, so dont question what others are up to. Be trusting. Your relationship with friends, peers and partners will suffer if you display jealousy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take a break from your usual schedule. Get out into the fresh air with friends or loved ones. A brief jaunt to a nearby park or nature trail will get your juices flowing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An elderly relative may be a burden. Look over your budget and see where you can make beneficial adjustments. Contracts, investments or legal matters should be dealt with now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The time is right for love. Take things slow and easy. You may be feeling romantic, but dont come on too strong, or your special someone may take off in the other direction. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dont waste time gossiping or sharing personal stories when you should be working. Youll be criticized if you dont finish what you start with efficiency and dispatch.

(Continued from page 1) On May 7, local high school students will be participating in a Volunteer/Service Day, with a rain date of May 14. Anyone in the community who is in need of having odd jobs performed around their homes can contact Angel Wagner at the high school at 419-647-4111. Chapman reported he received the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Formula application for funding and plans to request monies to replace existing deficient water lines on North Main Street from Sixth to North Street, Elm Street and South Broadway from Second Street to Wurster Drive. In order to be considered for these funds, the administration needs to prove that the project area is greater than 51 percent LMI (low- to moderateincome). Income surveys have already been sent out to residents and will be collected next week. The application is due May 12 and this will be for project year 2015, Johnson said. Chapman has completed the preliminary street work to be considered for the 2014 County Permissive Road Program. The village has close to $28,000 in permissive dollars that can be spent on eligible streets in town and $25,000 appropriated for paving projects in the budget, Johnson said.

The final Road Program schedule will need to be reviewed by council and a resolution passed and sent to the Allen County Engineers office. Council members passed on its second reading an ordinance authorizing Johnson to enter into agreement for professional services for the 2014 Street Program. Also, members suspended the rules and passed on emergency the hiring of Mike Bailey as Property Maintenance Code (PMC) Administrator. Mr. Bailey has expressed interest in the planning commission on a few occasions, Johnson said. He has plans in place already and in order to pay him, we need to hire him first. Mayor Johnson announced that the Lima/Allen County Mobile Produce Market will be in town this coming Friday and on April 25 from 10 a.m.- noon at the corner of Broadway and Fourth streets. The program is sponsored by The West Ohio Food Bank in conjunction with Activate Allen County. They will take cash, credit and EDT, Johnson said. They will have a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and sell them at a nominal price. Johnson said there has been talk of having a farmers market in that same local, behind Huntington Bank or at part of the downtown square. He said whether it happens or not
depends on the amount of interest. As reported during the Feb. 3 council meeting, the two house demolitions, to be financed through the Moving Ohio Forward Grant Program (MOFD), were postponed due the processing not being complete. The total estimated cost of demolition for the properties was $12,700. The village is not going to be able to demolish the two properties one at 210 S. College and the other at 205 S. Elizabeth, Johnson said. Time constraints did not allow us to get any properties approved for demolition. Police Chief Darin Cook reported one cruiser had been in the shop for a radiator leak, which was under warranty. He also wants to remind drivers to be cautious as the weather warms up and kids are out on bikes. We are planning a bike rodeo sometime in June or July to teach kids bike safety, Cook explained. Cook also commented on Allen and Van Wert State Patrol officers pulling drivers over. With two state routes running through town, they have jurisdiction, Cook said. Im not a big ticket-writer but they are. The next village council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on April 21.
Council (Continued from page 1)

If the tax increase fails, the cost to maintain and pay for the citys water and waste treatment facilities will require a substantial increase in rates. In order to keep both operating funds in the black, a rate increase of 23 percent for waste treatment and 15 percent for water will be required. If the tax increase fails, the city would need to reduce services at the park. This would result in reduced hours for the pool; additional costs for maintenance of the various ball fields would need to be passed on to each organization for use of the field and we would potentially have a reduction in staffing for the parks. The announcement went on to explain some of the financial reasons the city is asking for the income tax increase: Since 2012 the city has lost the following revenue: 1. $860,000 per year in utility sales plus $400,000 during Orval Kent bankruptcy; 2. $130,000 per year from the State of Ohio cuts in Local Government Funds; 3. $80,000 per year from the State of Ohio elimination of estate tax; and 4. $70,000 per year in city income tax partially due to the Reser closure. Presently, the city owes $14,709,926 on water and $24,613,378 on sewer. Our annual loan payments are $1,319,394 on water and $1,832,900 on sewer. NOTE: The city still owes a $396,000 payment for the old sewer plant in 2014 and $198,000 in 2015. Newly-hired Safety Service Director Shane Coleman was introduced to Delphos City Council, other elected officials and the public during Mondays meeting. Coleman is finishing up his tenure with City of Van Wert Parks and Streets Department, marking his 23rd year this January. He supervises all part-time and seasonal parks employees and is responsible for all aspects of parks maintenance. He also maintains the city streets and sidewalks, performs basin repair and replacement, leaf/brush pickup and snow removal.
Warranty
Hes also an adjunct instructor at Rhodes State College in the Division of Business and Public Services. Ive spent my entire career in public service, Coleman said. I have a passion for it. Im excited to be moving up to the next level. Coleman obtained his masters in business administration with concentrations in public administration and human resources from the University of Findlay in May 2012. He holds a Commercial Applicator Ohio Pesticide License and an Ohio Class B Commercial drivers license. Coleman has six months to move closer to Delphos and will begin his new position on April 21. Fire Chief Kevin Streets will be compensated for performing shift work in addition to his fire chief duties. Council suspended the rules and passed on first reading an ordinance granting Streets hourly pay of $17.60 retroactive to March 11 when he and Platoon Chief Roy Hoehn began 48-hours-on, 48-hours-off work schedules. One full-time firefighter is on leave and another retired. Council dispatched three pieces of legislation on first reading which bring the citys codified ordinances and accounting for full-time fire and police employee pick-up plans for the Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund in line with State of Ohio code. Council suspended the rules and passed all three on emergency measure. Council also passed on emergency measure a resolution in support of State Issue I for the renewal of the State Capital Improvements Program. Passage of Issue I on May 6 will renew the program with no additional taxes required to fund repayment of the bonds used for the program and authorize the issuance of $1.875 billion in bonds. The infrastructure improvements will also create jobs within the state. Council heard on second reading an ordinance accepting a bid from Elmer Pohlman to farm six acres of city-owned land more or less located on Shenk Road. Pohlman bid $600 a year for five years. Other bids were $70 per acre and $76 per acre. Council went into executive session and adjourned with no further business.
By mid-February, the majority of the houses eight or nine on the east side of Auglaize Street were being affected by frozen water lines. The village started getting reports of frozen pipes the second week of January. As Clay and Goubeaux explained to residents and council during the Feb. 24 meeting, all the elements came together to cause the problems with the service lines. After the water system was installed, the excavation was back-filled with compaction gravel and water was used to aid the process which traveled downward and deepened the frost line. In essence,
given the time of the year construction was completed the end of October the water in the stone backfill never had time to evaporate before cold weather set in. As temperatures plummeted, so did the frost line, thereby freezing the trapped water around the copper service lines. While council spoke on the frozen waterline issue at the March 24 meeting, Mayor Ron Miller reported he had spoken with Clay, who offered the village a 1-year extension on the warranty from October 2013 through October 2015. Residents expressed their concerns regarding the depth of the lines. Miller said he was ready to trench the street if indeed the lines are found to not be 36 inches deep.

Answers to Mondays questions: When it comes to designer dogs, a daug is a dachshund-pug mix; a gollie is a golden retriever-collie mix; and a chug is a chihuahua-pug mix. The recycle symbol that appears on products sold around the world was the winning entry in a 1970 competition for design students. It was created by Gary Anderson, then a graduate student at the University of Southern California, for a contest sponsored by the Container Corporation of America. Anderson received a $2,500 tuition grant for the green icon used to identify recycled and recyclable products. Todays questions: When it comes to language, what is a dysphemism? Where in the world did the pineapple originate? Answers in Thursdays Herald. Todays joke: A man was terribly overweight, so his doctor puts him on a diet. I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks, the doctor ordered. The next time I see you, youll have lost at least five pounds. When the man returns, hes lost nearly 20 pounds. Why, thats amazing! the doctor said. Did you follow my instructions? The man nods, Ill tell you, though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day. From hunger, you mean? the doc questioned. No, from skipping.
