WASHINGTON As
April begins, the IRS warns
taxpayers not to be fooled
by the tricks scammers use
to take advantage of those
they target. Scammers use
fake names, provide bogus
IRS badge numbers and alter
caller ID numbers to make it
look like the IRS is calling.
With the final two weeks
of the filing season about to
begin and millions preparing their returns, taxpayers
should be alert.
This is no April Fools
joke. Everyone should be on
the lookout for threatening
calls from people faking IRS
phone numbers and demands
for immediate payment, IRS
Commissioner John Koskinen
said. These are scams. I urge
taxpayers to stay vigilant and

COLUMBUS (AP) An Ohio group

wants a federal judge to block state officials
from ending the Medicaid health coverage of
tens of thousands of low-income residents.
The request comes as the states Medicaid
agency works to re-determine eligibility
for recipients of the federal-state program, as
required by the federal government.
The Legal Aid Society of Columbus filed a
lawsuit Monday on behalf of three Medicaid
recipients, claiming their benefits were put
at risk after the state violated federal law
and Medicaid regulations. The Community
Refugee and Immigration Services, a nonprofit agency in central Ohio that helps refugees, also is a plaintiff.
Among other issues, the legal aid group
argues that the states Medicaid director, John
McCarthy, failed to follow a certain procedure known as passive redetermination
and did not adequately notify recipients as
to why coverage was being terminated and
how to appeal it. McCarthy is named as the
defendant.
Attorneys for the beneficiaries argue that
the notices sent from the state flouted federal regulations and left out key information.
Despite inadequate notices and documented deficiencies in the procedures that
Defendant followed leading up to the issuance of those notices, Defendant continues
to remove tens of thousands of individuals
from Medicaid each month with no sign of
plans to slow down or halt the terminations,

Attorney General Allan Showalter in a court

Judge Algenon Marbley has ordered attorneys from both sides to meet with him this

declined to comment on the lawsuit but said
the state recently started the passive renewal process for those who are set to be re-determined for May. Under the process, officials

as Social Security records, unemployment

arent automatically renewed are sent packets
to verify their information. They can do so
online, at benefits.ohio.gov, by mail or by visiting their countys Job and Family Services
office.
Thousands of recipients are new to the
Medicaid program after Gov. John Kasich
extended eligibility to cover more low-income residents, as allowed under President
Barack Obamas health care law. Roughly
511,000 Ohioans have enrolled under the
expansion, according the states most recent
caseload report from February.
State officials have emphasized that residents who are dropped could turn in their
renewal information within 60 days and get
retroactive coverage. Should they seek medical care, certain health centers and hospitals
could presume their eligibility, provide them
with services and then work with them to get
re-enrolled.

Lieutenant
Governor
Mary Taylor announced
on Monday that the Ohio
Senior Health Insurance
Information
Program
(OSHIIP) will hold free
Welcome to Medicare
events across Ohio in April
and May. These events are
being held to help consumers and their families
new to Medicare, or those
becoming eligible later this
year, learn more about their
coverage options.
We want to help
Ohioans become more
knowledgeable
about
Medicare so they are better
equipped to select coverage that is best suited for
their budget and health care
needs, said Taylor, also
Director of the Department
of Insurance. I encourage
Ohioans to attend an event
or call OSHIIP for help
navigating the Medicare
system.
A total of 25 events have
been scheduled across the
state. Topics will include
Medicare Part A and B benefits, the Part D prescription drug benefit, Medicare
Advantage plans, financial
assistance and key deadlines.
Last year, OSHIIP saved
Ohioans a new OSHIIP
record of $18 million
assisting more than 193,000
people. OSHIIP, a program
of the Ohio Department
of Insurance, is the states
official source for free and
unbiased Medicare information and counseling.
For those unable to
attend an event, OSHIIP has
scheduled public webinars
about Medicare on June 15,
Sept. 14 and Dec. 14 at
6 p.m. Visit the Medicare
Services section at www.
insurance.ohio.gov to register. Ohioans can also contact OSHIIP at 800-6861578 with questions and
for Medicare enrollment
assistance.
A program will be
held at Van Wert County
Council on Aging, 220 Fox
Road, Van Wert, at 6 p.m.

St. Johns Elementary School students recently completed a story they had
been reading for several weeks. As a culminating activity, the students in Kathy
Holdgreves second-grade class assembled a crystal radio. The students had to read

A rainy March day! Monday it snowed

enough to cover the ground with snow
again. The rain this morning made all
the snow disappear.
It is 38 degrees so
hopefully the rain
helps take some of
the frost away in the
ground.
Eleven
years
ago, we moved to
Michigan in March
and there was still
quite a bit of snow
on the ground that
year. Our horse,
Itty Bit, had a foal
six days after we
moved. We named
the filly Ginger and she is our family horse
now. We still have Itty Bit, too.
Moses grandpa, Ezra, age 87, died
on Friday evening. His funeral was on
Tuesday. We attended the viewing/visitation on Sunday evening. Our sympathy
goes to the family. May God be with them
as they face this difficult trial in life.
Ezras brother Martin died not even two
weeks before.
On Friday evening and Saturday we
cooked down all the sap into maple syrup.
This time we ended up with two and onehalf gallons of maple syrup. We now have
over four gallons of maple syrup that Mose
boiled off from our trees.
One evening this week we had pancakes, eggs, and sausage with the fresh
maple syrup. It has a very good flavor.
Yesterday I tried my first attempt at
making cheese. I used a recipe for mozzarella cheese that niece Marlene Troyer
gave to me. It seemed to work out well,
but it is time consuming. Maybe once I get
used to the steps Ill be able to make it faster. Thanks to the readers who sent cheese
recipes to me. I would like to try different
kinds. Our cow Bessie keeps giving us all
the milk we need and more. My husband
Joe wants to get a few little pigs to feed the
excess milk to.
The week of April 6, our children will
be home from school for spring break and
they are excited. Hopefully it will be a
nice warm week. They have a little over
eight weeks of school left for this term.
Daughter Loretta is going to graduate from
eighth grade this year so she is super excited. The long school days wear her out so it
will be nicer for her when she doesnt have
to leave every day.

Daughters Elizabeth and Susan had a

few days off of work. They were sewing on
most of their time off.
Timothy and Elizabeth will be evening servers at a wedding in May. Seems
the sewing is endless.
Elizabeth
sewed Loretta a
new dress which
brought a smile
to Lorettas face.
Elizabeth received
a sewing machine
and cabinet from
Timothy one year.
She spends all her
spare time sewing.
She is really getting
fast. It doesnt take
her long to cut out a
dress and sew it.
Ill share the mozzarella cheese recipe
this week. God bless you all!
Mozzarella Cheese
2 gallons cold whole milk
3 teaspoons citric acid
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup cold water
1/3 rennet tablet
2 quarts water
1/2 cup salt
Put milk in a large container. Dissolve
citric acid in 1/4 cup cold water, then add
to cold milk. Mix well and keep stirring
until heated to 90 to 95 degrees. Remove
from heat; add 1/4 cup cold water and
rennet tablet. Stir well then let set for 1/2
hour. Cut into squares with a long bladed
knife. Let set 5 to 10 minutes. Heat to 110
degrees. Continue stirring to keep curds
from sticking. Remove from heat and
let sit 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile heat 2 quarts of water with
1/2 cup salt to 175 degrees. Drain cheese
in colander for 15 minutes. Cut or pull
cheese apart into small cubes and put in a
large bowl. Add hot salt water; use wooden
spoon to stretch cheese in upward motion
until soft and springy. Drain in colander.
Knead a little bit as you would bread; put
in container to cool. Bread pans work well.
Very good!

The Wildcats (0-2) led 3-1 before the ill-fated inning.
Its hard to tell how much we improved from our opener Monday night to
tonight; you really dont have the chance to work on things when you have
back-to-back games and its only the third time youve been on a diamond,
Jefferson coach Doug Geary explained. We had chances to add to our
lead early but left runners on base and that caught up to us in the end. We
struggled against their starter; he didnt have a lot of velocity but we took a
couple of times through the lineup before we finally made the adjustments.
Brendan Herron threw 4-plus innings of solid pitching but senior lefty
Ryan Bullinger took the loss in relief.
Brendan was a real bright spot on the mound; we took him out after the
first batter of the fifth inning. Ryan struggled tonight but it was a cold day,
too, Geary added. Its going to take some time for us to figure out what we
really have, especially pitching. I feel we have a solid six pitchers that are all
about the same; its just figuring it out. The guys are competing hard but one
thing we know we need to improve is execution. Weve already had two 1-run
games and lost both because we just didnt make enough plays. Again, we
have a lot of young guys in new situations, so its a learning process.
Jefferson returns to action Thursday versus St. Johns at Stadium Park.

Steinecker fans 11 as Lady

Cougars roll past Jefferson
By NICK JOHNSON
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
VAN WERT The Lady
Cougars continued their hot
start to the softball season
- despite the chilly weather
- in an 18-1 5-inning rout of
Delphos Jefferson at Jubilee
Park on Tuesday evening.
Van Wert started the game
perfectly as Kateri Steinecker
retired the Lady Wildcats
1-2-3 all by strikeouts.
In the bottom of the second, Van Wert sent 17 batters
to the plate and scored 13
runs, including 11 straight to
start the frame ,before an out
was recorded.
The Lady Cougars (2-0)
got a 2-RBI double from
Brooke Brown, while Kelsey
Spridgeon and Steinecker
each had multiple RBIs in the
frame. Every Lady Cougar batter reached base at least once
during the inning and Phoebe
Eutsler, Saige Royer and Emily
Bair all drove in runs to bring
the score to 13-0, Van Wert.
In the top of third,
Steinecker faced four batters
and fanned three of them.
In the bottom of the third,
Tiffany Ricketts lead off with
a double and came home
to score on a Spridgeon
RBI single. Royer was also
able to dent the plate on the
Spridgeon base knock thanks
to some good base-running
and a fielding error. It was
15-0, Lady Cougars, after

Jeffersons Jessica Pimpas makes it safe at third on a triple

as Van Werts third baseman Phoebe Eutsler reaches for
the ball. Pimpas would eventually score the first Wildcat
run of the game. (DHI Media/Tina Eley)
three innings.
With one out in the top
of the fourth, Jessica Pimpas
tripled to give the Lady
Wildcats (0-1) their first runner in scoring position. The
next batter, Shayla Rice, hit
a ground ball to the Cougars
infield and Pimpas was able
to beat the throw home to
put Jefferson in the scoring
column 15-1, Van Wert.
In the bottom of the
fourth, Bair doubled to start
the frame and Rickettts and
Rohrbacher both reached
base to load them up for
Royer. Royer step dished and
laced a huge triple to right

field to plate all three runners

to bring the score to 18-1,
Lady Cougars.
We hit the ball really well tonight and Kateri
pitched a good game. We put
her in a little bit (Monday)
night and she struggled with
a little bit of control. We had
some good defensive plays
behind her tonight and we
also ran the bases very well
tonight. We put a bunch of
runs across the plate, Van
Wert coach Mike McClure
explained. Big confidence-builder with these last
two games, which is good
because we were unable to

get outside much this spring

due to the weather.
Steinecker took the mound
in the top of the fifth and was
able to retire all three Lady
Wildcat batter via the strikeout to end the game with the
final score 18-1, Van Wert.
It look like a first game
for us, Jefferson coach Josiah
Stober allowed. (We) got some
inexperienced girls in different spots. Were working on
our pitching and that needs to
improve. Tonight we had 11
strikeouts and five backwards Ks
and that isnt going to win you a
lot of games. You cant win a lot
of games if you dont put the ball
in play. We found something we
need to work on and that gives us
a real starting block.

Big innings derail Lancers in baseball opener

By JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
MIDDLE POINT Fort Recovery
piled up seven runs between the third
and fourth innings and totaled 10 hits
and six stolen bases in an 8-3 win
over the Lancers at Lincolnview High
School on Tuesday evening.
The Indians (2-0) responded to a
3-run Lancer second inning with a
4-spot in the top of the fourth. That rally
came on the backs of four base hits and
a pair of costly Lancer errors.
We had some teachable moments
that we can build on, talking about
the big innings, Lancer coach Eric
Fishpaw said.
Cole Wendel opened the frame with
a 7-pitch at bat against Lancer southpaw
Jalen Roberts before lining a single
up the middle. First baseman Jackson
Hobbs followed with a single to left,
moving Wendel to third and Hobbs
wasted little time in stealing second
base. Jacob Homans long fly ball to
right was enough to drive home a run
but Homan reached second base when
the ball was misplayed. The next batter,
catcher Derek Backs, then brought both
runners home with a 2-run single to

center for a 4-3 Fort Recovery lead.

Backs would eventually score the
fourth run of the inning when a catcher-tothird pick-off throw sailed into left field.
Backs led the Indians offense with three
hits and four runs batted in on the day.
The Indians tacked on three additional runs on the strength of three more
hits in the fourth. Meanwhile, Wendel
was in cruise control on the mound for
the Indians.
Wendel went the distance for Fort
Recovery and needed just 75 pitches
to do so.
The only inning that Lincolnview
was able to get to the Indians righthander was the second, when Robert
led off with a single and Cole Schmersal
reached on a error. One out later, catcher
Wyatt Schmersal came up with an RBI
double and Keli Ralston followed with
a run-scoring single. The final Lancer
run came by way of a double steal, with
Wyatt Schmersal taking home on the
back-end.
We had good quality at bats, good
approaches at the plate, Fishpaw said the
second inning. Wyatt Schmersal had a
base hit and Keli as well; (theres) a lot of
confidence at the plate in those two guys.
That was a big inning for us; we just need
to have more of those per game.

Outside of the rough third and fourth

innings, Roberts was in command for
the bulk of the game for the Lancers.
He wound up going the distance, using
124 pitches (77 strikes) and allowing 10
hits to go with eight runs (six earned).
Roberts struck out eight in the game but
also walked three and hit two batters.
He went all seven tonight - he told
me he was fine, Coach Fishpaw added
of Roberts while allowing that more consistency from his top left-hander should
be coming as the season wears on. I
think as the season progresses, just getting on the same page with Wyatt will
take a little time to work out the kinks.
The Lancers are back in action today
as they host Van Wert in a 4:30 p.m.
contest.

Lady Raiders almost perfect in season opener

OTTOVILLE Coming
off of a Final Four berth
in 2014, the Wayne Trace
softball team got off to a
near-perfect start Tuesday
night as the Lady Raiders
cruised past host Ottoville
13-0 in a 5-inning victory.
Raider senior pitcher
Addison Baumle retired the
first 14 Lady Green hitters

before senior Courtney Von

Sossan broke up the perfect
game with a bloop single
over third base with two outs
in the bottom of the fifth
inning.
Baumle then bounced
back to strike out Ottovilles
Robyn Turnwald to wrap up
the season-opening victory.
It was a good start to
the season for us, commented Wayne Trace head coach
Jack Baumle. Addie threw
the ball well and we did a lot
of positive things tonight.
After both starting pitch-

ers faced the minimum

number of hitters in the first
inning, Wayne Traces Bailey
Bergman started the second
inning with a home run over
the left field fence to put the
Raiders on top.
With one out, Carley
Wright singled and moved
to second when Leah Sinn
walked. Another walk to
Sydney Critten loaded the
bases before a two-run single
by Madison Zartman made
it 3-0 Raiders. Baumle then
wrapped up the scoring in
the inning with a two-run

double that plated Critten

and Zartman for a 5-0 advantage.
For the most part, we
made good contact with
the ball tonight, added the
Raider head coach. The
girls did a good job of adjusting to the slower speed.
Von Sossan suffered the
loss for Ottoville, tossing
three innings while allowing
eight hits and nine runs (six
earned).

Big Ten shines bright with Final Four in its backyard

By GENARO C. ARMAS
Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. After Michigan
State clinched a spot in the Final Four
last weekend, Wisconsins Sam Dekker
wrote something on Twitter
that packed as much of a
punch as one of his dunks.
The Big Ten had a down
year right? Dekker asked.
If anyone had that perception, it certainly isnt the
case with two teams in the Final Four
which is being in Indianapolis.
The Badgers play unbeaten Kentucky
in one semifinal on Saturday night, with
the Spartans facing Duke in the other.
Both Big Ten squads are underdogs
going into their respective games.
Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan congrat-

ulated his friend and Michigan State

counterpart Tom Izzo over the phone
after the Spartans beat Louisville on
Sunday.
Now hes looking ahead.
Yeah were proud of that and then
you move on, then you
play, Ryan said. Im
proud of this conference.
Commissioner
Jim
Delany sounded like a
proud father when talking
about the Big Tens success.
He is realistic, too. He knows that Big
Ten teams werent quite successful in
nonconference play in November and
December, although the league won this
years challenge series with the Atlantic
Coast Conference.
Some higher-profile Big Ten teams
fell in the series, including Wisconsins

loss to Duke in Madison.

The regular-season title belonged
to the Badgers. There was a logjam
through the middle of the 14-team
league, with clubs beating up on each
other.
In the end, only Maryland at No. 12
and Michigan State at No. 23 joined
No. 3 Wisconsin in the AP Top 25 at the
end of the regular season.
The AP poll at the end of the 201314 regular season had four Big Ten
teams ranked, including three in the top
12. At one point in 2013-14, Ohio State,
Wisconsin and Michigan State were all
in the top five.
The previous season, four league
teams finished in the top 10.

Kalida holds off Jefferson

in baseball opener
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
JEFFERSON Both Jefferson and
Kalida were opening the 2015 baseball
season on a windy and mild Monday
night at Wildcat Field in Delphos.
As one might expect for an opener,
there was some good pitching, good
defense and timely hitting.
As well, there were a limited number
of errors and some struggles at the plate
and on the mound.
Kalida scored twice in the top of the
seventh to break a 4-4 tie and held on
for a 6-5 victory.
Tied at 4-4 entering the top of the
seventh, pinch-hitting Kalida junior
Austin Klausing lined a hit to left center to start it off Jefferson sophomore
righty Jace Stockwell (70 pitches, 43
for strikes). An out hence, senior Brent
Hovest singled to right. Junior Brady
Laudick forced Hovest at second but
an error on the relay allowed hustling junior Trent Gerding (re-entering
for Klausing) to score for a 5-4 edge.
Back-to-back knocks by junior Trevor
Maag and senior Colton Farrell plated
Laudick for a 6-4 edge, with Delphos
senior southpaw Ryan Bullinger coming
on in relief and getting the final out.
Jefferson rallied with one in the
seventh off the fourth Kalida hurler, the
left-handed Swift. Junior Gage Mercer
beat out an infield nibbler and sophomore Jacob Pulford walked. An out
later, all were safe on a field error
off Bullingers grounder. Senior Kurt
Wollenhaupt flied out to deep center
with Maag making a circus catch to
plate Mercer but Swift got the final out
to end the contest.
Jefferson chased Kalida sophomore
starter Jeff Knueve after 33 pitches (16
strikes) in the home half of the first.
Stockwell led off with a free pass and
senior lefty Gaige Rassman doubled
down the right-field line. An out later,
Pulford singled to left to plate Stockwell
and after senior Nick Fitch walked,
Bullinger doubled to right center to
get Pulford home. Wollenhaupt walked
and in came the southpaw Laudick (66
pitches, 39 strikes) to slam the door.
The Maroon and White rallied with a
single spot in the top of the second on a lead-

Raiders
(Continued from page 6)
With the lead, Addison
Baumle continued to cruise
along for Wayne Trace. The
senior pitcher fanned two Big
Green hitters each in the second and third innings before
striking out all three in the
bottom of the fourth.
Wayne Trace added four
runs in the top of the fourth.
Zartman reached on an
error to start the inning before
a Baumle double pushed
Wayne Traces lead to 6-0.
Mackenzie Swary was safe
on fielders choice bunt that
put Raider runners at second
and third. Crosby then followed with a two-run single
that expanded the Wayne
Trace lead to 8-0. Crosby
would score later on a Leah
Sinn groundout as the Raiders
posted a 9-0 advantage after
four innings.
Everybody hit the ball
for us tonight, noted Coach
Baumle of his team.
Wayne Trace picked up
four more runs in the fifth,
including runs batted in by
Courtney Laney and Critten.
We will have to be better
Thursday night, concluded
Wayne Traces head coach.
Paulding will provide a good
challenge for us and hopefully
the weather cooperates.
Addison Baumle paced the
Raider offense with two doubles and three runs batted in
while scoring two runs. Molly
Crosby added a single and a
double along with two RBIs
and Bailey Bergman chipped
in a single and a home run.
Wright and Zartman also
chipped in a single each for
Wayne Trace.
On the hill, Baumle ended
the night with eight strikeouts
and faced only 16 batters in
the contest.
Wayne Trace returns to
action Thursday as the Raiders
visit Paulding for a 4:30 p.m.
start.
Ottoville hosts Allen East

off walk (Maag) by Mercer, a stolen base
and a 2-out base hit to center by Knueve.
Kalida took the lead for good with
a 3-spot in the third. Gerding led off
by getting aboard on a throwing error,
followed by a double to right center by
Swift. After Hovest was hit by a pitch
that finished Mercers day (45 pitches,
27 for strikes), in came Stockwell. He
walked Laudick to force in Gerding.
An infield hit by Maag scored Swift
and Farrells sacrifice fly to left plated
Hovest for a 4-3 edge.
Jefferson tied it in the bottom of the
sixth against sophomore Noah Lambert,
on in relief of Laudick. Wollenhaupt
doubled to right center and a 1-out wild
pitch advanced him to third, from which
he scored on junior pinch-hitter Easton
Siefkers groundout to short.
Weve got a lot of young kids
that we are putting in new positions
and situations. That and the fact that
it was our opener and only the second
time weve been able to get on the diamond, were going to be inconsistent,
Jefferson coach Doug Geary said. We
made some good plays in the field, got
some good pitching and scored some
runs, especially early. Last year, wed
score early, go through a lull and then
score runs late. The early part of the season will be figuring out what we really
have, especially on the mound.
Kalida coach Joe T. Recker is in the
same boat.
We had a young team last year,
started 3-11 and finish 11-15. Those

young guys started figuring things out

but we are still relatively young that is
still learning how to win, he added.
Like tonight: Jeff didnt have his best
stuff but it was only the first game; we
know he will only get better. We have
told Brady he has the best stuff on
the team but just has to relax and be a
pitcher, not just a thrower. He showed
what he can do tonight. We didnt allow
walks and errors to snowball, like we
did many times last spring.

Ohio MLB Roundup

Associated Press
REDS 10, BREWERS 4
PHOENIX Jay Bruce snapped a spring
slump with a 3-run homer among his two hits
and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee
Brewers 10-4 on Tuesday.
Bruce, who was hitting .162 coming in,
scored twice and singled during a 5-run sixth
inning.
Michael Lorenzen helped his cause in a
bid for the Reds final rotation spot by allowing four hits and one run over four innings
against the Brewers opening-day lineup.
Reds closer Aroldis Chapman left the
game after pitching to one batter in the fifth
inning for precautionary reasons. There were
initial concerns about his right hamstring but
Chapman said there was no injury. It may
have been more of a miscommunication,
Reds manager Bryan Price said.
We went out to check on him and the
word hamstring came up and with his history, we were being extra cautious, Price said.
It may be a non-issue and no more than a
miscommunication. But at this point in time,
there was way to take a chance there. I dont
think there is anything to worry about.
Ryan Braun had an RBI single in the first
inning for the Brewers. Adam Lind and Khris
Davis had RBI singles in the sixth.
Mike Fiers, who will be the No. 5 starter for
Milwaukee, allowed only three hits over five
innings but walked four.
STARTING TIME
Reds: Lorenzens ERA for the spring is
1.80 and he handled Milwaukees everyday
lineup well.
Brewers: Fiers will stay behind and get

(Continued from page 6)

Its funny. The last year,
or last two years, we had four
teams in the top 10 or 12.
We moved teams to the Final
Four, we were regarded as the
strongest conference in those
years, Delany said Tuesday
in a phone interview. This
year, we didnt have as much
success in November and
December. When I size up our
league, I really didnt think
we were quite as good as we
had been. I didnt agree with
the fact that we werent pretty
good but I didnt think we
were as good as we had been.
As it turns out, they were
even better when the tournament started.
Wisconsin
was
the
leagues sole representative
in the Final Four last season.
Now the Badgers have com-

one more start in a minor-league game here

on Sunday. He wants the extra work after
missing a turn with a minor shoulder setback
two weeks ago.
GREGG MAKES THE REDS
The Reds informed RHP Kevin Gregg that
he has made team as a non-roster invite. The
36-year-old Gregg, who allowed two earned
runs in seven appearances in Cactus League
play, struck out six and did not allow a batter.
INDIANS 8, MARINERS 6
GOODYEAR, Ariz. Felix Hernandez
left in the second inning of his final tuneup
before Seattles opener. Mariners manager
Lloyd McClendon didnt last much longer.
McClendon was ejected in the fourth
inning of Clevelands 8-6 win over Seattle
on Tuesday.
Brandon Moss 2-run homer in the first
gave the Indians a 4-3 lead against King
Felix, who allowed seven runs, five hits and
two walks in 1 2/3 innings.
Michael Bourn had an RBI double in the
third, Michael Brantley was hit by a pitch
and Carlos Santanas 2-run double finished
Hernandez, who starts Mondays opener
against the Los Angeles Angels.
After Bruce Chen threw close to and then
behind Rickie Weeks in the bottom half, plate
umpire Alan Porter warned both benches.
McClendon walked out of the dugout and
was ejected before he got to the third-base
line.
McClendon went back to the dugout briefly, then realized there is no tunnel and the
clubhouse is down the right-field line. Porter
questioned McClendons presence and the
manager, with large gestures, explained why
he was on the field.

pany in Michigan State.

Sure, wed like to have
an all-Big Ten final. That
would be awesome for both
of us, Izzo said on Tuesday.
He has been gushing about
the leagues success all week.
I did say all year, I tried
to stick up for our league.
Last year we were the best
two, three, four teams, so that
makes your conference better, Izzo added on Monday.
Sometimes I think the conferences should be ranked on
how teams 12, 11, 10 and 9
are. The depth of a conference
makes it different because
there (are) no nights off.
It has been a banner year
so far for the league beyond
mens basketball.
Maryland and Rutgers joined
the conference this season as
the league expanded. The Terps
surprised the league in basket-

ball after finishing 28-7 overall

and 14-4 in conference play, two
games behind Wisconsin.
In the womens tournament, Maryland has
advanced to its second
straight Final Four.
Ohio State won the first
college football playoff in
January. The Big Ten also
had a good showing in other
high-profile games on New
Years Day when Michigan
State beat Baylor and
Wisconsin defeated Auburn.
Were No. 1 in APR
in football, basketball and
womens basketball, added
Delany, referring to the conference ranks in Academic
Progress Rates. We had a
great January bowl season
and national championship
season. Taken together, I
think everybody is feeling
good and feeling prideful.

Jays drop season-opener

and Jacksons debut
By LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Sports Editor
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Play Ball.
With those two words, the
2015 baseball season opened
and the new reign of Jerry
Jackson as Delphos St. Johns
baseball coach began.
Unfortunately for the Blue
Jays, they will have to wait
another game to give Coach
Jackson his first victory as the
Wapakoneta Redskins won 5-1
at Stadium Park Monday night.
Im very happy with the
performance of our team
today against a tough opening opponent, commented
Jackson. We made some
mental mistakes in the field
and Wapakoneta capitalized
by turning our errors into
runs. We will get to work and
fix those little things and limit
our mistakes. This was our
first time on the field with our
complete squad (minus senior
Austin Heiing on ministry
trip) with the success of the
basketball team and the cold
and wet weather.
The game began on a positive note for the Jays as lefty
Jacob Youngpeter struck out a
pair of Redskins and gave up
no runs in the first inning.
Wapakoneta starter Rob
Laney retired St. Johns in
order in the first and struck out
the side in the second inning.
Trailing 2-0, the Blue Jays
cut into the Redskins lead as
Jorden Boone reached to open
the third inning. Three batters
later, Youngpeter beat out an
infield single to score Boone.
Youngpeter retired the
Redskins in order with a pair
a strikeouts in the top of the
fourth inning to keep the Jays
within striking distance.
St. Johns was in business
as Eric Vogt reached with a
leadoff single and reached
second with a stolen base.
Laney buckled down on the
mound and struck out three in
a row to escape the jam.
The Redskins chased
Youngpeter from the hill in
the top of the fifth inning,

scoring on a sacrifice fly by

Adam Henderson and a double by Todd Tschuor. Ryan
Hellman came in for relief and
ended the inning getting Kodi
Morgan on a ground out.
As a coach, I was pleased
with the performance of our
pitchers Youngpeter and
Hellman, Jackson added.
They did what they needed
to do out there by throwing
strikes and thats a good sign.
We simply let them down in
the field.
Wapakoneta also made a
pitching change in the sixth
inning as Quinn Lotridge took
the mound for the Redskins.
Lotridge fanned five of the
eight Jays he faced in the final
two innings to earn the save.
The Blue Jays opening-week schedule is a
challenge as they travel to
Crestview Wednesday and
battle Jefferson Thursday.
On Saturday, the Jays will
be back home as they host a
doubleheader.

wisely and maintain a positive
attitude.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- In your rush to do too
much, minor mishaps are likely. Proceed cautiously when

figures will surface if you lack
diplomacy.
TAURUS (April 20-May

you set out to do if you remain
calm and avoid overreacting.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Unanticipated changes
will cause you to hastily make

Google Maps turns

into Pac-Mans
chomping grounds

www.delphosherald.com

Indiana governor wants changes

to religious-objections law

SAN
FRANCISCO
(AP) The virtual streets
of Google Maps are being
transformed into Pac-Mans
chomping grounds in celebration of April Fools Day.
Google added the option
to convert its popular navigation service into the PacMan video game on Tuesday
morning, around the same day
the calendar turned to April 1
in Asia. That ushered in a day
when Google shows off its
playful side by injecting more
frivolity into its services.
The gag on Google Maps
enables visitors to click on a
Pac-Man symbol in the lower
left of the screen to play the
video game on whatever location is listed in the address bar.
As has been happening for
nearly 35 years, Pac-Man eats
blinking dots while trying to
elude four ghosts Pinky,
Blinky, Inky and Clyde.
The game can be played
in Google Maps on desktop
computers or mobile devices
that have the latest app update
for Apples iOS or Googles
Android software.
This isnt the first time that
Google Inc.s engineers have
paid tribute to Pac-Man. In
May 2010, Google tweaked
the doodle on its main search
page to accommodate games
of Pac-Man.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Indiana

Gov. Mike Pence asked lawmakers
Tuesday to send him a clarification of
the states new religious-freedom law
later this week, while Arkansas legislators passed a similar measure, despite
criticism that it is a thinly disguised
attempt to permit discrimination against
gays.
The Arkansas proposal now goes to
Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who
has said he will sign it.
Pence defended the Indiana law as a
vehicle to protect religious liberty but
said he has been meeting with lawmakers around the clock to address concerns that it would allow businesses to
deny services to gay customers.
The governor said he does not believe
for a minute that lawmakers intended
to create a license to discriminate.
It certainly wasnt my intent, said
Pence, who signed the law last week.
But, he said, he can appreciate that
thats become the perception, not just
here in Indiana but all across the country.
We need to confront that.
The Indiana law prohibits any laws
that substantially burden a persons
ability to follow his or her religious
beliefs. The definition of person
includes religious institutions, businesses and associations.
Although the legal language does not
specifically mention gays and lesbians,
critics say the law is designed to shield
businesses and individuals who do not
want to serve gays and lesbians, such as

florists or caterers who might be hired

for a same-sex wedding.
In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Indiana officials appeared to be in damage-control
mode following the uproar over the law.
Earnest also took issue with Pences
claim that Indianas law was rooted in
a 1993 federal law. He said the Indiana
measure marked a significant expansion over that law because it applies
to private transactions beyond those
involving the federal government.
The federal Religious Freedom
Restoration Act arose from a case related
to the use of peyote in a Native American
ritual. But in 1997, the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled that the federal law did not
apply to the states. So states began enacting their own laws. Twenty now have
them on the books.
Businesses and organizations including Apple and the NCAA have voiced
concern over Indianas law, and some
states have barred government-funded
travel to the state.
Democratic legislative leaders said a
clarification would not be enough.
To say anything less than a repeal
is going to fix it is incorrect, House
Minority Leader Scott Pelath said.
Republican Senate President Pro Tem
David Long said lawmakers were negotiating a clarification proposal that he
hoped would be ready for public release
today, followed by a vote Thursday
before sending the package to the governor.

No nuke agreement yet: Iran talks push past deadline

LAUSANNE, Switzerland
(AP) With stubborn disputes unresolved, nuclear
talks between Iran and six
world powers went past a
self-imposed deadline and
into overtime as negotiators
renewed efforts to hammer
out the outline of an agreement.
Enough progress had been
made to warrant the extension
past midnight Tuesday, State
Department spokeswoman
Marie Harf said, although
there still were several difficult issues to bridge.
Secretary of State John

Kerry, who had planned to

leave the talks Tuesday, was
remaining. And an Iranian
negotiator said his team could
stay as long as necessary to
clear the remaining hurdles.
The decision came after
six days of marathon efforts
to reach a preliminary
understanding by midnight
Tuesday, drawing in foreign
ministers from all seven
nations at the table Iran,
the United States, Russia,
China, Britain, France and
Germany.
After more than a decade
of diplomatic efforts to limit

Tehrans nuclear advances,

the present talks already had
been extended twice, demonstrating the difficulties of
reaching an agreement that
meets the demands of both
sides.
The U.S. and its negotiating partners demand curbs
on Iranian nuclear activities
that could be used to make
weapons, and they say any
agreement must extend the
time Tehran would need to
produce a weapon from the
present several months to
at least a year. The Iranians
deny such military intentions,

but they are negotiating with

the aim that a deal will end
sanctions on their economy.
In a sign of the confusion surrounding the end of
the talks, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov
claimed there was agreement
on all sides. That statement
was quickly contradicted by
a Western diplomat.
Late Tuesday, Iranian foreign minister Mohammad
Javad Zarif said, For the
majority of issues, solutions
have been completely found.
He said drafting of an agreement should begin today.

Google, Microsoft battle drives down prices for PCs, tablets

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Google
is releasing its cheapest Chromebook
laptops yet, two versions priced at
$149 aimed at undercutting Microsofts
Windows franchise and gaining ground
in even more classrooms.
Various PC manufacturers have been
working with Google to design lightweight laptops running on the Chrome
operating system since 2011. The newest versions are made by Hisense and
Haier. Hisenses Chromebook can be
ordered beginning Tuesday at Walmart.
com and Haiers version can be bought
at Amazon.com.
Their arrival coincides with
Microsofts rollout of a lower-priced
Surface tablet in an effort to reach

students and budget-conscious families. Pre-orders for that device began

Tuesday, too.
As the prices for tablets and smartphones have been declining, it has
forced on PC makers to lower their
prices, said International Data Corp.
analyst Jay Chou. The success of the
Chromebook line is intensifying the PC
pricing pressure.
It has been good news for consumers, but not so good for vendors, Chou
said.
The cheaper version of the Surface
Pro 3 sells for $499, compared with
$799 to $1,949 for the higher-end models. The discounted version has a slightly smaller screen 10.8 inches rather

This is an opportunity
for students who wouldnt
normally be in the spotlight
to get some recognition and
exposure to public speaking,
Edelbrock added. It also
hits a lot of points across the
curriculum: reading, writing,
social studies and research.

She said one of the most

difficult things for the students

They often leave urgent callback requests and sometimes prey

on the most vulnerable people, such
as the elderly, newly-arrived immigrants and those whose first language
is not English. Scammers have been
known to impersonate agents from
IRS Criminal Investigation as well.
Here are five things the scammers
often do but the IRS will not do.
The IRS will not:
Call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about
taxes owed without first having
mailed you a bill.
Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to
question or appeal the amount they
say you owe.
Require you to use a specific pay-

Tsarnaev an event that

seems a foregone conclusion because of his lawyers admission the same
jury will be asked to decide
whether he should be executed or spend the rest of his life
in prison.
During its brief case, the
defense called four witnesses,
including a cell site analyst
who showed that Tsarnaev
was at the University of
Massachusetts-Dartmouth
when Tamerlan purchased
components of the two bombs
used in the attack, including
pressure cookers and BBs.
On Tuesday, an FBI fingerprint examiner testified
that Dzhokhars fingerprints
werent found on any of the
marathon bomb components,
but Tamerlans were.
Also testifying for the
defense Tuesday was a
computer expert who said
Tamerlan Tsarnaev did
Internet searches on bomb
components in the weeks
before the attack.
Prosecutors rested their
case Monday after calling
more than 90 witnesses over
15 days of testimony, including bombing survivors who
described losing limbs in the
attack.

Report: Egypt, Nigeria led world

in death sentences in 2014
UNITED NATIONS (AP) Egypt and Nigeria accounted
for well over 1,000 of the death sentences announced last year,
more than a third of the worlds total, Amnesty International
says in its latest annual report on the death penalty.
The London-based human rights group expressed alarm at
the 28 percent jump in death sentences: 2,466 people in 55
countries were condemned to death in 2014. At least 607 people were executed in 22 countries last year.
Neither of those numbers is complete, as North Koreas
closed-off stance means that no estimate there was available.
Amnesty International also doesnt report numbers for China,
where such information is considered a state secret. The Dui
Hua Foundation, a U.S.-based prison research group, has estimated 2,400 executions happened in China for 2014.
Amnesty International also said it was unable to confirm
whether judicial executions took place last year in Syria, where
civil war has raged for four years.
The countries with the most recorded executions last year
were Iran with at least 289, Saudi Arabia with at least 90, Iraq
with at least 61 and the United States with at least 35, the
rights group said. In Iran, hundreds more executions were not
officially acknowledged and the total could be as high as 743,
the organization said.
Once again, the United States was the only country in the
Americas to execute people in 2014, the report said. Texas and
Missouri each carried out 10 executions. Other U.S. states that
put people to death were Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Ohio and
Oklahoma.
The overall number of global executions last year dropped
almost 22 percent from 2013.
The numbers speak for themselves: The death penalty is
becoming a thing of the past, Amnesty International secretary-general, Salil Shetty, said.
But Shetty condemned the use of death sentences as a way
to fight crime or terrorism.

Lawyers for Boston Marathon

bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
rested their case in his federal
death penalty trial Tuesday,
a day after they began presenting testimony designed to
show his late older brother
was the mastermind of the
2013 terror attack.
The defense admitted
during opening statements
that Tsarnaev participated in
the bombings. But Tsarnaevs
lawyer said he was a troubled
19-year-old who had fallen
under the influence of his radicalized 26-year-old brother,
Tamerlan, who died following a shootout with police
days after the bombings.
Prosecutors and Tsarnaevs
lawyers will give closing
arguments April 6. The jury
is expected to begin deliberations the same day.
The defense has made it
clear from the beginning of
the trial that its strategy is
not to win an acquittal for
Tsarnaev, now 21, but to save
him from the death penalty.
Three people were killed and
more than 260 were injured
when two pressure-cooker
bombs exploded near the finish line April 15, 2013.
