On Tuesday, voters will decide whether to approve Issue 1, a renewal of the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) State Capital Improvements Program (SCIP) which has helped local communities throughout Ohio complete 11,500 road, bridge, sewer and other infrastructure projects over the past 27 years. In Allen County, cities, villages, townships and county government have received more $36.7 million in financial assistance from the SCIP program since its inception, which funded or helped fund 140 projects totaling over $71 million in overall project costs. The State of Ohio pays for SCIP projects with the sale of bonds, which are paid back out of the states budget. No new taxes will be created if Issue 1 is approved by voters. Allen County Engineer and Chairman of the OPWC District 13 Committee Timothy Piper said there are a diverse number of road, bridge and water system improvements slated for this years construction season and each will improve the job climate in the state. He said the number of jobs created with each construction improvement cannot be calculated. See ISSUE 1, page 11

Woman exiting vehicle struck, killed by car

Herald Staff Reports A 50-year-old woman was struck and killed by a vehicle after exiting her daughters van during an argument at 6:07 a.m. Tuesday at the intersection of State Route 309 and Defiance Trial east of Delphos. Allen County Sheriff Sam Crish said the initial investigation indicated Paula Robinson, 27, of Dog Leg Road was northbound on Defiance Trail in a van with her mother, Carrie Adkins, in the back seat. The pair had been arguing when Adkins opened the back door of the van and said she was getting out. As Robinson turned left onto State Route 309 from Defiance Trail, Adkins either jumped or fell out of the van and landed in the eastbound lane of SR 309, where she was struck by a vehicle driven by Valerie Ditto, 45, of Delphos, eastbound on the highway. It was dark at the time of the crash and it was raining, Crish said. The accident remains under investigation. Crish said no one will be cited.

Lawyer: ex-governors Ministerial Assoc. to lead prayer services record wasnt expunged BY NANCY SPENCER
COLUMBUS (AP) The Ohio watchdogs office plans to discuss today whether to reissue its report on a 2005 rare-coin investment scandal after information surfaced that the document presumed falsely that thenGov. Bob Tafts criminal record had been expunged. Inspector General Randall Meyers top lawyer said Tuesday that Tafts no-contest plea on ethics violations was omitted from mention in the long-awaited report on Coingate, issued Friday, because staff believed the Republican ex-governors record was among those shielded from public view. There has been bunches of miscommunication on this, chief legal counsel Jim Manken said. We didnt mention the conviction in the report because we had Taft on a list of people whose cases had been expunged. That case was not expunged. Those turn out to be false research results. Manken said theres a strong possibility the Coingate report, already nine years from the start of the scandal, will require a rewrite. The document included no new findings of wrongdoing but detailed the status of 75 reforms at the workers compensation bureau that were recommended through reviews at the time by the governors office, state auditor and legislature. Meyer concluded the bureau is a much more professional and accountable organization today. The convictions of Taft and four others caught up in the scandal were not mentioned. Another 14 of the 19 total Coingate convictions were included in the report. See RECORD, page 11 Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Numerous prayer services will involve the Delphos Ministerial Association in and around Delphos on Thursday in observance of National Day of Prayer.

The National Day of Prayer is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designated by the United States Congress, when people are asked to turn to God in prayer and meditation.

its annual observance was enacted in 1952; however, days of prayer have been called for since 1775, when the Continental Congress designated a time for prayer in forming a new nation. The National Day of Prayer is celebrated by Americans of many religions, including Christians of many denominations, Protestants and Catholics, as well as Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus and Jews, reflecting the demographics of the United States. On the National Day of Prayer, many Americans assemble in prayer in front of courthouses, as well as in houses of worship, such as churches, mosques, synagogues and temples. Luncheons, picnics, and music performances revolving around praying for the nation are also popular observances. Traditionally, the President of the United States issues an official National Day of Prayer proclamation each year as well.

Florida Mega Millions winners claim $207M prize

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) A central Florida man and woman who have come forward to claim their half of a Mega Millions jackpot of $414 million say the money will allow them to do all sorts of things including investing, traveling and going to as many Notre Dame football games as they can. Raymond Moyer and Robyn Collier, both 35, have claimed their $207 million prize, the Florida Lottery announced Tuesday. A onetime, lump-sum payment of nearly $115.5 million was made to the Cobie and Seamus Trust, dated April 21, 2014. Moyer and Collier are members of the trust. The jackpot was the third largest in the games history. The winning Quick Pick ticket for the March 18 drawing was purchased at a Publix grocery store on Merritt Island, Lottery officials said. The retailer received a $100,000 bonus commission. Collier said in a lottery news release that she and Moyer didnt know they had won until the morning after the drawing when the numbers were on the news. I paused the TV and ran to get the ticket to doublecheck the numbers, Collier said. And when I realized they all matched, I jumped off the couch in excitement and told Raymond we had won. Moyer said he didnt believe Collier until he saw the store where they purchased the ticket on the news. It was definitely a shock, but it is an incredible blessing that will allow us to do many things we would not have had the opportunity to do before, Moyer said. A second winning ticket was purchased in Maryland. That prize has not been claimed.
Oklahoma inmate dies after execution is botched

McALESTER, Okla. (AP) A botched execution using a disputed new drug combination left an Oklahoma inmate writhing and clenching his teeth on the gurney on Tuesday, leading prison officials to halt the proceedings before the inmates eventual death from a heart attack. Clayton Lockett, 38, was declared unconscious 10 minutes after the first of the states new three-drug combination was administered. Three minutes later, though, he began breathing heavily, writhing on the gurney, clenching his teeth and straining to lift his head off the pillow. The blinds were eventually lowered to prevent those in the viewing gallery from watching what was happening in the death chamber, and the states top prison official eventually called a halt to the proceedings, although it didnt save Lockett. It was a horrible thing to witness. This was totally botched, said Locketts attorney, David Autry. They should have anticipated possible problems with an untried execution protocol. Obviously the whole thing was gummed up and botched from beginning to end. Halting the execution obviously did Lockett no good, Autry

Officials: Schools play a role in heroin fight

WORTHINGTON (AP) Parents, schools and educators all play an important role in fighting the states heroin abuse epidemic, Ohios governor and attorney general said at a forum Tuesday. The remarks followed a report by the state Health Department that found a record 680 people died of heroin-related overdoses in 2012, the most recent year for which data was available, a 60 percent increase over 2011. Heroin is in every neighborhood, and every community, Gov. John Kasich told educators from about 40 mainly suburban schools districts as he promoted the states Start Talking anti-drug addiction program during a visit to Worthington-Kilbourne High School outside Columbus. Do not think you are immune from this. We are not immune from this, the governor said. This drug problem in our culture is a poison that threatens the essence of who we are. The program emphasizes the importance of parents, teachers and others talking to children about staying off drugs as a way of lessening the chances they will become addicted. Attorney General Mike DeWine said action addressing heroin must start at the local level, and has to involve law enforcement, education, prevention and treatment. Were not going to arrest our way out of this problem, DeWine said. Ed FitzGerald, Kasichs Democratic opponent in the fall governors race, and David Pepper, DeWines Democratic challenger for attorney general, criticized the states efforts against heroin as delayed and anemic.

The case doesnt meet the offices current standards for a capital punishment prosecution, Allan Regas, a Cuyahoga County assistant prosecutor, told the board. He said the office wouldnt seek the death sentence in such a case today based on the evidence, which includes what appears to be a lack of intent to shoot the victim. Prosecutor Tim McGinty said Tuesday he respected the boards decision. Tylers first death sentence was overturned by a state appeals court in 1984 on the basis of poor legal assistance. He was convicted at a second trial and again sentenced to death. The co-defendant, Leroy Head, pleaded guilty for his role in the slaying and was sentenced to life in prison with parole after 20 years for aggravated murder and seven to 25 years for aggravated robbery, according to court and parole board records. He was released from prison in 2008. Head twice made statements to police that the gun went off while he was struggling with Leach and that it was he, not Tyler, who was responsible for the shooting, according to Tylers clemency request. Head recanted those statements and testified against Tyler at the first trial, saying Tyler had threatened his family if he explained what happened that day. Head also testified at Tylers second trial. In later years, however, Head denied Tyler had ever threatened him and said he testified at the second trial because a prosecutor threatened to negate his plea deal, according to Tylers parole board filing. up to $5.00 Head also made several statements to defenseSave attorneys, fel-lb. low prisoners and others that Tyler was not the shooter, accordUSDA Choice ing to the clemency request.

Getting ready to host church

BY LOVINA EICHER We are still in the process of getting everything cleaned for our upcoming church services that we will host on May 4, Lord willing. Council meeting was set for that day, so lunch will be served during the service. We usually have two tables set and people turn turns coming to eat over the noon hour. We made 30 pounds of noodles from our own eggs. Chicken noodle soup will be on the menu that day. Our plans also include to have the youth singing in the evening and serve supper to them all, plus some of the families from our church. It will be a long day but I am happy to take our turn. On Monday afternoon, sister Emmas daughters Elizabeth, 17, and Emma, 16, assisted us with some cleaning. Yesterday sisters Verena and Susan came to help. All their help is appreciated with both my oldest daughters working at the factory and our five youngest in school. A lot of the work rests with daughter Verena and I. We have a big house to clean so it all takes time. It is such a relief though to be getting all those corners cleaned. A lot of people are planting early garden things and I am hoping to find time to do that yet. We are enjoying dandelion greens fixed with a homemade sour cream and hardboiled eggs. It is always a treat to Joe and I but not many of our children came for them. Sunday afternoon we were surprised to get a visit from Uncle Menno Coblentz from Arizona and Uncle Andrew Yoder from Geneva ,Indiana. It was so nice to see them again. It brought back memories of the Coblentz reunion we had every year and all the fun we had together. Now its been quite a few years, Im thinking 10 years, that we couldnt attend the reunion. It will be held in July again this year and I am hoping we will all get to attend. My Dad and his three sisters: Aunt Frances, Aunt Catherine and Aunt Betty; have all passed on and also Uncle Melvins wife, Aunt Esther, Uncle Joe (Frances) and Uncle Emanauel (Catherine). It will make a big difference to not have all of them there but they would want us to carry on. Recently Mose (Susans friend) brought his brother Freeman, 15, and his little 3-year-old nephew, Loren, to spend a day here. Benjamin

and Freeman enjoy their time together fishing, playing ball, etc. They always enjoy spending time together. Loren wanted so bad to come to Susans house. She spoils him and has lots of fun taking care of him. Son Kevin, 8, was excited to have someone younger than himself in the house. Lovina, Kevin, and Loren colored eggs for Easter and also had fun hiding some and taking turns finding them. They took Loren on pony rides and he seemed to really enjoy his time here.

Whats the skinny on obesity?

Obesity is the medical term for people whose body mass index (BMI) exceeds 9.9 percent. BMI is a measure of weight in relation to height that is used to determine weight status and is the most widely accepted method used to screen for overweight and obesity in both children and adults. While BMI is an accepted screening tool for the initial assessment of body fatness, it is not a diagnostic measure because BMI does not directly measure body fat. The average American adult is four pounds heavier today than in 1960, with 34 percent of the population being obese thats 73 million people. All of this excess heaviness has struck children and teens, as well, with about 17 percent of young people age two to 19 being obese. Thats 1.5 million people: the equivalent of almost all of the folks in the state of Pennsylvania. Plan a business that Obesity is the leading preventable cause of death will increase tness in in the world and is one of the most signicant public your community. Then health concerns in the rst century. Though it was plan a newspaper once viewed as a symbol of wealth, obesity is a health ad campaign. Be as threat and can signicantly diminish the quality of creative as you can. life, leading to stigmatization and social isolation. There are many health risks associated with being overweight. Obese individuals run a higher risk of developing diabetes. Carrying all of that excess weight also can tax the heart, make it more difcult to breathe and put extra stress on your joints. Imagine lugging three one-gallon jugs of water around all day, every day. Thats what your body is doing when you are overweight.

Obesity in children age six to 11 more than tripled in the past 30 years? One in three children born in the U.S. in 2000 is predicted to develop diabetes during his or her lifetime? Research shows that if an individual is overweight as a child, they will most likely be overweight as an adult? Being overweight can lead to many health problems, like Type II diabetes.

So why are people of all ages heavier today than in prior generations? The rst reason is how and what we eat. Chronic stress is another likely factor. Add to that modern conveniences and technology, plus lack of adequate nighttime sleep increases the risk of obesity in children, according to several studies.

Local Roundup
Jefferson baseball game postponed after 3 1/2 innings By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Weather became the story midway through the Jefferson/Bluffton Northwest Conference baseball contest at Wildcat Field. Bluffton led 5-1 after the top of the fourth inning before lightning was spied and caused a stoppage in play; eventually, after a thunderstorm went through, it was called and will be picked up at a date to be determined. The Wildcats minus starters Tyler Rice and Nick Fitch (sickness) went up 1-0 in the bottom of the first against Pirate starter Trent Phillips (3 innings; 2 hits, 1 earned run, 1 base-on-balls, 4 strikeouts). With one down, Hunter Binkley walked. With Ross Thompson up to bat, Binkley took off for second and the senior lashed a double to deep left to get the freshman home. Bluffton left one base-runner on with two down in the second against Thompson (4 IPs, 3 hits, 5 runs, 3 earned, 2 BBs, 5 Ks). Jordan Herron led off the Delphos second by getting on via a throwing error and pinch-runner Damien Dudgeon stole second. Ryan Bullingers sinking liner to right center was caught by diving centerfielder Drake Luginbuhl to save a run and the next two batters were retired. The Pirates scored five times in the visiting third on two free passes (both 4-pitch at-bats), a sacrifice (James Harrod), a big error that helped prolong the inning and three hits: a 2-run double to left by Tyler Belcher (scoring Phillips and Chris McClain), a run-producing double to right center by Austin Bricker (Brandon Skilliter) and a runscoring chopper to left by Phillips (Bricker). Kuhlman bounced out to plate pinchrunner Dustin Falk for the fifth run. Thompson lined a knock into right center with two down in the Jefferson third and stole second. After the visitors were retired in order in the top of the fourth, lightning was spotted.

Rangers edge Jays in 5-inning tussle

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com NEW KNOXVILLE St. Johns head baseball coach Ryan Warnecke knew going into the 2014 campaign that he would have his work cut out for him with a young squad and many unknowns. The four Blue Jay seniors: Ben Wrasman, Kyle Pohlman, T.J. Hoersten and Andy May; provided his team experience at four positions but left question marks at the other five spots. Freshmen players have stepped up and filled in at one of the most important spots, pitcher, nicely for Coach Warnecke. Josh Warnecke has gained important experience on the mound and has excelled at shortstop. Eric Vogt earned one of the two victories by the Blue Jays earlier this season with a complete-game shutout at Fort Jennings. Fellow freshman pitcher Jacob Youngpeter combined with Warnecke to hold the Van Wert Cougars to only one run in a loss on Saturday. Coach Warnecke may have found another starting pitcher in junior lefthander Austin Heiing. Heiing made his first appearance of the year in a mop-up role against Minster last week in a 21-4 blowout and made his first varsity start on Tuesday at Midwest Athletic Conference foe New Knoxville, limiting the Rangers to only five hits but the Jays fell short 3-1 in a rain-shortened game. The Jays stranded one base-runner in the first inning after Heiing reached on a single to center and went to second on a wild pitch. Rangers starting pitcher Adam Howe retired the next two batters on fly outs to escape the Jays early threat. When a pitcher walks the lead-off batter, that usually spells trouble; thats exactly what happened when Heiing walked K.V. Mooney starting the home first. Mooney beat catcher Buddy Jacksons strong throw to second base for the steal. Later, Mooney advanced to third on a wild pitch by Heiing. Howe ripped a hit over second base to plate the runner and the Rangers led 1-0. Heiing settled down to retire the next three batters with a strikeout, a pop out and groundout to J.R.Keirns at third base for the final out. Jesse Ditto singled in the top of the next inning with a single and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Jorden Boone hustled down the line to beat the throw for an infield hit as the visitors had two on with only one out. Howe struck out the next two Jays to strand the pair with no damage done. After Heiing retired the Rangers in order in the home second, Wrasman reached on an infield rocket to short to open the St. Johns third. Howe remained solid as he retired the next three batters in order to preserve the shutout. Ben Menke led off the New Knoxville third inning with a hit and moved to second on a wild pitch. Howe walked and the Rangers loaded the bases with two outs as Shane Topp singled past third base. Wes Meyer went to the gap with a double to left-center field to drive in a pair to give the home team a 3-0 lead. Hunter McMurray popped out to Ditto at first base to end the inning. The fourth inning was quiet on the field as both sides went down in order. Off of the New Knoxville Ranger diamond, black storm clouds could be seen approaching with a few distant bolts of lightning. With the threat of a early end of the game, the Blue Jays mounted a threat of their own in the top of the fifth inning. Youngpeter reached with a walk and Mays blooper fell in at left field and the Jays were making some noise with no outs. Wrasman moved Youngpeter to third base with a fielders choice for the out of May at second. Wrasman took off on an outside pitch to Heiing for a stolen base to move into scoring position. Heiings grounder went under the second basemans glove into center field to score Youngpeter. Pitcher Howe got this fourth and fifth strikeouts of the game to calm the St. Johns rally. Then came the lightning and the umpires called a delay, hoping that the bad weather would blow over. As the teams waited in the dugouts, the skies opened up and heavy rains ended any chance of a Blue Jay comeback. See JAYS, page 7

Column: No NASCAR penalty needed for Va. scrap

By JENNA FRYER Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. Quick quiz: Who won the 1979 Daytona 500? The answer, of course, is Richard Petty. But very few people if any equate that race with The King grabbing the sixth of his seven Daytona 500 victories. That race is instead infamous for the last-lap crash between Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough as they raced for the lead. The crash sparked a 3-man fight after Allisons brother, Bobby, pulled up to the accident scene. The brawl in the closing moments of the first race to be broadcast live in its entirety was a monumental moment for NASCAR and the lasting image as the traditionally Southern sport officially announced its arrival on the national scene. Fast forward 35 years later to Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, where tempers flared after the race. It seemed much ado about nothing when Brad Keselowski stomped down pit road to angrily wag his finger at Matt Kenseth in a scene that was just enough to keep viewers from changing the channel but not enough to generate any real excitement. Then things got really interesting. An overhead camera happened to catch Casey Mears confronting Marcos Ambrose in the garage. About? Who knows. The two were racing each other for 18th place and Fox hardly had its cameras tuned to that battle. But something happened between the two to get Mears upset and his anger only grew as Ambrose seemed to dismiss him and turn away. So Mears grabbed the Australian, shoved him a bit and Ambrose responded with a right hook to Mears eye. It was hard enough to draw blood and knock Mears hat from atop his head. NASCAR is reviewing the incident and considering whether to discipline either of the drivers in its Tuesday penalty notices. If the sanctioning body is smart, it will close the file and move on to Talladega without taking any action against either driver. Forget for a minute that it was a fight that put NASCAR on the national map and that hard-scrabble, passionate drivers who arent afraid of confrontation are the bedrock of the sport. To this day, its those incidents that generate the most conversation. Joey Loganos late pass of Kenseth, Keselowski and Jeff Gordon to win the race didnt garner many national headlines on Sunday but Ambroses shot to Mears face most certainly did. The decision to leave Ambrose and Mears alone isnt about the attention that a fight draws to the sport. Its about short-track racing on a Saturday night and the emotions that come from driving hard on tight tracks and in close quarters. Fans watch Bristol and Martinsville and Richmond fully expecting to be treated to bumping and banging and the post-race confrontations that come from explosive tempers. The incidents are celebrated and find their way into promotional materials for the tracks and NASCAR itself. Taking that into account, Mears cant be punished for confronting Ambrose after the race. Something happened on the track that infuriated him enough to seek out Ambrose. That conversation happened to take place in the garage, NASCARs version of the office place and it happened in a flurry of frenetic, post-race activity. Drivers return their cars to the haulers after the race and at Richmond, the haulers are lined up in tight quarters. Crews are working furiously to pack up the car and the equipment, fans are milling about trying to chase down their favorite driver, reporters are rushing to seek out interviews before the parties slip away in the darkness. In that setting, Ambrose was grabbed and then shoved by a fellow driver. He reacted violently with a punch that might have startled Floyd Mayweather Jr., let alone Mears. Should Ambrose be punished for defending himself? For reacting in a heated moment? Absolutely not. It wasnt a sucker punch, it didnt put any crew members or fans in danger and Mears himself seemed to take it in stride. The morning after he was punched, Mears ran in Jimmie Johnsons charity race and acknowledged Ambrose got me pretty good with that shot in an interview with NASCAR.com. Out of all the NASCAR fights or punches or when you see people swinging, usually its a lot of fly-swatting. He actually connected so that was pretty good, Mears said. Everybody gets mad after those races when everybody is trying so hard. Its a passionate sport, obviously. Its tough when you first get out of the car, when you dont have a good chance to cool off, it escalates pretty quick. Indeed, the culture of short-track racing is an expectation of post-race fireworks. Unless NASCAR wants to remove that element and expectation, it should leave Ambrose and Mears alone. NASCAR penalizes Ambrose and Mears for RIR fight: NASCAR punished Ambrose and Mears on Tuesday for their post-race altercation in the garage at Richmond International Raceway that led to Ambrose punching Mears in the face. Ambrose was fined $25,000 and placed on probation through May 28. Mears was fined $15,000 and received the same probation.

Browns Hoyer impressive in practice after injury

Associated Press BEREA Brian Hoyer spent a long, merciless winter in Cleveland rehabbing his right knee so hed be ready for the day he could run on the field again. Hes never worked harder at anything in his life. The Browns are his team, and have been since he was a little kid. And now that hes back not 100 percent but getting there the homegrown quarterback, whose promising 2013 season was cut short after only two starts by a serious injury, isnt about to let go of his dream of leading an NFL team without a fight. Cleveland can draft a franchise quarterback next week. Hoyer believes the Browns already have one. I know how I feel about myself, he said. I know how my teammates feel. Im trying to go out and prove it to these new coaches and all I can really ask for is a chance and I think Ill get that. Im going out there every day and until someone tells me otherwise, I think Im the starter for this team. Six months after surgery on a torn anterior cruciate ligament, Hoyer participated in Clevelands first voluntary minicamp practice Tuesday to rave reviews. It was a significant step for the 28-year-old, who showed poise and potential in winning his first two starts before he was injured while sliding at the end of scramble against Buffalo. Hoyer was sharp during the portion of practice open to media members. He didnt show any limitations while making cuts and displayed nice footwork while firing pinpoint passes. If not for the brace on his right knee, there would have been no evidence Hoyer had been hurt. Following the indoor workout, Hoyer was upbeat and somewhat relieved. It was awesome, he added. I felt really good, which was no surprise to me. I felt like I was prepared for this for a while. Its just

good to play football again. Hoyer has been cleared to do individual work but not take part in team drills. The Browns dont want to take any unnecessary risks with Hoyer but that didnt stop him from pleading with new Browns coach Mike Pettine to let him jump behind center during 11-on-11 drills. He begged me to be able to jump in there for the team stuff and I had to play head coach for a minute and tell him no, Pettine said. But again, thats the way he is. Thats the way hes made up, ultimate competitor, so I think he firmly believes that its his job. Hoyer spent three seasons sitting behind Tom Brady, then made one start during a year in Arizona before getting his shot last year with the Browns. Hes aware Cleveland could use the No. 4 overall pick next week on a quarterback. Theres a chance in a few weeks Hoyer could find himself competing with someone like Texas A&M star Johnny Manziel. How would he react? Just be myself, he replied. I have to do what I do on a daily basis and work hard. Thats all I know how to do. Hoyer isnt the only quarterback trying to make an impression this week. Vince Young, who hasnt played in an NFL regular-season game since 2011, has three days to convince the Browns he can help them. The 30-year-old said hes motivated to resume a career after being sidetracked the past few seasons. The fire is lit always, Young told reporters. One thing a lot of people dont know, I love this game so much. Young has been given no guarantees other than hell get a chance. He was with Green Bay late last summer but got released. Young was reluctant to discuss why his pro career has stalled.

Sterling banned for life by the NBA

Associated Press NEW YORK NBA Commissioner Adam Silver delivered the swiftest, strongest penalty he could, then called on NBA owners to force Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell the team for making racist comments that hurt the league. Almost unanimously, owners supported the commissioner Tuesday, as he handed down one of the harshest penalties in the history of U.S. sports. We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterlings views. They simply have no place in the NBA, Silver said at a news conference. Sterling, 80, is banned for life from any association with the league or the Clippers and fined $2.5 million the maximum allowable under the NBA constitution. If 3/4 of the other 29 owners agree to Silvers recommendation, Sterling will be forced to sell the team he has owned since 1981. A message left seeking comment at Sterlings business office hadnt been returned Tuesday afternoon. Team spokesman Seth Burton wrote in an e-mail that the Clippers had no plans to issue a statement from Sterling on Tuesday. Players and others cheered Silvers quick action, with union officials saying that if the leagues punishment hadnt included a mandate for Sterling to sell the team, players were considering boycotting playoff games, including Tuesdays Golden State Warriors-Clippers matchup, the teams first home game since the scandal erupted. We wanted to be a part of this decision and we wanted Adam Silver to know where we stood. And we were very clear that anything other than Sterling selling his team was not going to be enough for us, said Roger Mason Jr., the first vice president of the players union. Sterlings comments which were recorded by his girlfriend and released by TMZ on Saturday harmed the league, Silver said. Sponsors were threatening to abandon the NBA,and criticism was coming from fans on social media and even the White House. Sterling criticized V. Stiviano purportedly the female voice on the tapes for posting pictures of her with black athletes Magic Johnson and Matt Kemp. It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that youre associating with black people. Do you have to? Sterling asks the woman on the tape. Sentiments of this kind are contrary to the principles of inclusion and respect that form the foundation of our diverse, multicultural and multiethnic league, Silver said.

Wizards eliminate Bulls with 75-69 victory Jays

Associated Press CHICAGO John Wall finished with 24 points, Nene scored 20 and the Washington Wizards beat the Chicago Bulls 75-69 on Tuesday night to clinch their first-round series in five games. Bradley Beal scored 17 points and the fifth-seeded Wizards advanced in the postseason for just the third time since the 1970s. They will meet Indiana or Atlanta in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Its a huge step for a franchise that hadnt been to the postseason since 2008 but with Wall and Beal leading the way, they won 44 games during the regular season. The Wizards turned a halftime tie into a 9-point lead heading into the fourth quarter and hung on down the stretch. Chicagos comeback chances took a big hit early in the final quarter when Taj Gibson crumbled to the court clutching his left ankle after he tried to block a layup by Wall with the Wizards up by six points. He had to be helped off the court and did not return. The Bulls cut it to 70-67 on a jumper by Carlos Boozer with 3:32 left. Wall then poked the ball away from Boozer and nailed a jumper at the shot-clock buzzer. Chicago hit two free throws with 2:18 remaining to cut it back down to three but the Wizards grabbed three offensive rebounds while whittling more than a minute off the clock before Beal threw the ball away with a minute left in the game. Boozer missed on a drive but the Bulls had another chance after a shot-clock violation by Washington with 22.4 seconds left. Chicagos Jimmy Butler missed on a layup off the inbounds, and the Wizards caught a break after Andre Miller missed two free throws. Beal tracked down the loose ball and hit the first free throw to make it 73-69 with 14.6 seconds left before missing the second. But again, the Wizards got the rebound. This time it was Nene and that led to two free throws by Wall with 7.8 seconds remaining. Wall and Nene, back from a 1-game suspension for grabbing Butlers head, both had seven rebounds. Marcin Gortat scored just two points but grabbed 13 boards.

Swift, Lambert pitch Kalida by Vikings in PCL baseball KALIDA Southpaw Austin Swift and freshman Noah Lambert threw a combined 3-hit abbreviated shutout against Leipsic Monday night and got just enough support for a 2-0 Putnam County League baseball triumph in a 6-inning affair at Kalidas historic Holy Name Ballpark. The game was interrupted in the bottom of the sixth by the weather and after a wait, was called with the Wildcats the victors. Swift threw three innings and fanned seven. Lambert (2 Ks) got the save with three frames of relief. Neil Haselman took the loss in five innings of work. Swift, Randy Zeller and Trent Gerding (1 run batted in) had the hits for the victors.

DEAR BRUCE: Im 63 years old and planning on working until age 66. I have an eight-month emergency fund. I also have half my money in a 401(k), IRA and Roth IRA, and half in CDs. I would like to put my extra money toward paying off my mortgage. Its the only debt I have. I am still hearing from family members that I shouldnt do that. I plan on staying in the house. I have about $127,000 left on the mortgage at 4.25 percent. -Dee, via email DEAR DEE: The question of whether you should pay off the mortgage or continue to invest depends on your investment choices. Simply, if you are earning in excess of 4.25 percent and the additional amount it costs to pay the taxes, then you should continue the way you are going. On the other hand, if you are earning substantially less than 4.25 percent, you would be better off paying off the mortgage. That is effectively earning you 4.25 percent. It doesnt take much thought on this one; the way to settle it is to do the arithmetic. DEAR BRUCE: I grew up listening to your radio show with my parents and read your books before I decided to open my own dance studio. I have been in business now for eight years as a sole proprietorship, but am considering changing to incorporating. Do you have any recommendations? -Ashley, via email DEAR ASHLEY: First, I would have to know a great deal about your sole proprietorship and what the tax implications would be. If your business is growing, its likely that changing to either an LLC or a Subchapter S corporation may have positive effects. This is something that can be answered only by someone who is knowledgeable in these tax areas and, most important, has access to all of the facts concerning your business: How much you are earning? What sort of taxes you are paying? How much is insurance costing, and all the other variables. If after eight years you are doing well, I suspect that going the corporate route will be to your advantage, but I must repeat that I only suspect that. The only way you are going to make a sound determination is to consult with an expert on this subject who has all the information on your business. DEAR BRUCE: Through the years, I have accumulated around $22,000 in gold coins. In todays economy, do you have any suggestions on what I should do with them? They are just sitting around collecting dust. Should I sell and invest the money? I could always use some extra money. -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: When you say you accumulated $22,000 in gold, what does that mean? Does that mean face value? Todays value is very much reduced. I would suggest that now is not a good time to sell. You didnt say why you accumulated these coins. What was your purpose? If it was to make money, the likelihood is you are still ahead. In todays world, gold is trad-

ing around $1,200 an ounce. Since you say you can always use some extra money, it sounds like you dont really need it. If thats the case, I would be hanging in. If you are concerned that gold will fall even farther in price, which is a possibility, then get out and put the money in some other investment. DEAR BRUCE: I receive alimony from my remarried ex-husband. If he dies, will I still get the alimony? His new wife will challenge me on this, no doubt. Can she legally prevent me from receiving alimony? I live in Pennsylvania; they live in New Jersey. -- Beth, via email DEAR BETH: You pose an interesting question. If your ex-husband dies, in many states, that would terminate the alimony. But its possible that the estate would have to set up a fund to pay the alimony or a lump sum. All of these things, unfortunately, require information from the various states involved. My understanding is that in the majority of states the alimony would terminate upon his death, but that depends upon the court that established the alimony. Your question about whether his new wife can challenge you is an altogether separate issue. I know that you hate to hear this, but I would certainly consult an attorney in both states. DEAR BRUCE: After speaking to a lot of people and weighing the pros and cons, I have decided to put my home up for rent. I will be living in my other home and using the rent to pay for that mortgage. I am not sure what kind of insurance I should have on the house in case one of the tenants sues me for an injury to them or any children in the home. -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: This is not a difficult question. You will obviously need liability insurance that will cover not only the renter and his family and guests, but even a casual person who is walking down the street. Oftentimes the renter is required to carry a liability policy naming the landlord as a co-insured. You may wish to purchase extra insurance on top of this amount or it could be you will just purchase the insurance outright and include the cost of that in the rental. You can also insist that the renter carry tenants insurance on his own property. You will also have to carry fire and theft insurance that will cover you in the event of a loss.

Avoid unregulated supplements for treating hypothyroidism

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have hypothyroidism. According to the Internet, there are several supplements that could help my symptoms. Should I be taking a supplement along with my thyroid medicine? DEAR READER: Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland (located in the front of the neck) doesnt produce enough thyroid hormones. Every cell in the body needs thyroid hormone for normal function. When there is not enough hormone circulating in the blood, symptoms develop. The most common symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue, constipation, weight gain and slowed heart rate. These symptoms can be very subtle, or they can be dramatic. For example, I have a super-energetic, upbeat friend who, about 20 years ago, started to get up later and come home from work earlier. She became grouchy and irritable. I figured she had developed depression, but what she had developed was hypothyroidism. Her symptoms disappeared within a week of starting treatment. In contrast, as a medical student I was called to see a man who had been admitted to the hospital for a slow heart rate. And it was slow, indeed. The normal rate is 60 to 80 beats per minute, and his was 35. In fact, everything about him was slow. He spoke a thyroid medication

sentence very slowly, two seconds between every word: Where ... is ... the ... bathroom? He even laughed slowly. He had severe hypothyroidism. The standard treatment is to take replacement doses of thyroid hormone -- pills manufactured by drug companies. But, as several of my patients have pointed out, if you type the word thyroid into an Internet search engine, youll find a lot more: a sea of articles and advertisements promoting a range of supplements. Some supposedly improve thyroid health. Others even claim to cure hypothyroidism. But these supplements have an unproven track record. In contrast to drugs produced by drug companies, the production of supplements is not closely regulated by the FDA. It gets worse. Many of these supplements contain potentially dangerous levels of thyroid hormone: an uncontrolled amount of the real hormone has been added to the supplement. Anyone taking a high-dose supplement along with

effects of having too much thyroid hormone in their system. The harmful effects include thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) and dangerous abnormal heart rhythms. The most widely used supplements for thyroid health include those containing iodine, such as kelp. But more iodine does not cure hypothyroidism. In fact, a nutritional task force found that nearly all claims of supplements that supposedly enhance thyroid function are unproven. Selenium may be an exception. Early studies show that it may prevent thyroid conditions from flaring after pregnancy. But even these findings must be confirmed by additional research before doctors can recommend using selenium for the treatment or prevention of thyroid disease. If you have hypothyroidism, take thyroid pills, not supplements. They are safer and more effective. (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Record
Issue 1
Bill Meeks, Tafts attorney, said he has no idea where Meyers office got the idea that Tafts record had been sealed or expunged. Taft asked Meeks, who represented him in the 2005 case, to check on the matter Tuesday after news reports of the expungement appeared. Those were based on Meyers statements that he was legally prohibited from mentioning certain figures involvement in the scandal because their records had been sealed, combined with the absence of any reference to the conviction of Taft -- perhaps high-
est profile event of the scandal -- in the final document. Mr. Taft has never sought, nor is he interested in seeking, an expungement of his misdemeanor record, Meeks said. So to the extent that theres a news article out there to the contrary, its incorrect and entirely erroneous. Tafts historic conviction appears on the website of the Franklin County Municipal Court, where Taft became the first Ohio governor convicted of a crime. He is the great-grandson of former U.S. President William Howard Taft. Taft declined to discuss the matter in detail when reached Tuesday, referring a reporter to Meeks.
Employee opens fire at FedEx sorting center

KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) A FedEx employee wearing ammunition draped across his chest like Rambo opened fire Tuesday at a package-sorting center outside Atlanta, wounding six people before apparently committing suicide, police and witnesses said. In addition to a shotgun, the gunman also had an undisclosed number of molotov cocktails, but he did not use them in the attack, police said. Three of the wounded were hospitalized in critical condition, including two who were in surgery with life-threatening injuries. The gunman, who was found dead inside, worked as a package handler at the same sprawling facility he attacked, Cobb County police Sgt. Dana Pierce said. Cobb County Police spokesman Dana Pierce said the shooter first shot a security guard at a shack outside the building before heading inside. David Titus, a FedEx truck driver, said he was just coming to work around 6 a.m. when he saw someone shoot a security guard in the abdomen. He said he heard more gunshots later from inside the building. It was chaos, Titus said. Everyone was running, ducking and hiding, trying to get out of there. Authorities did not offer any details about the gunmans identity beyond saying he was a white male. Investigators have an idea of what the shooters motive may have been, but they were not prepared to disclose it yet, Pierce said. FedEx clerk Liza Aiken said she was working when she heard something drop, looked to her left and saw the gunman. He had bullets strapped across his chest like Rambo and held a knife, Aiken said while gathered in a nearby parking lot with other employees. Before she could continue, a woman wearing a FedEx jacket told Aiken to stop talking and led her away.
For example, there are numerous bridge construction projects which may or may not include landscaping, he explained. It depends on the number of subcontractors and workers involved in the project. Issue 1 extends the program 10 more years, authorizing $1.875 billion in infrastructure aid for local governments and approves $175 million a year for five years, then $200 million a year for five more years. Grants are up to 90 percent for repair/ replacement projects and 50 percent for new projects. The projects are approved annually by a local District 13 Integrating Committee made up of local government officials from an 8-county region. Jerry Gilden, Marion Township trustee and member of the OPWC District 13 Committee, spoke about the importance of Issue 1 to the townships in Allen County. He said all infrastructures share in the benefits of the program and with-
out its approval, chip and seal roadwork will not happen. Gilden said since 1992, the costs for roadway resurfacing projects have escalated exponentially and the funding has decreased by close to 50 percent. For example, back in 1992, we were allotted three years of paving covering four miles of roadway, he explained. Now, we cover two miles of roadway every four years. Since 1991, the City of Delphos has benefited tremendously from the SCIP and received close to $2.4 million in grants and loans for water line and storm sewer work, street reconstruction and resurfacing and the Seventh Street Pump Station. In 2012, Delphos received $164,174 for the Elida Avenue widening and resurfacing project, which cost close to $205,218 to complete. Spencerville Village Administrator Sean Chapman explained the village relies on these funds for many projects, including the Fourth Street culvert, which is the next one in a long
line of projects that are considered to be eligible for the funds. This project is estimated to cost close to $1 million and the village will apply for matching funds through the OWPC program. We have also been granted $78,000 towards a street resurfacing project estimated at $112,000 to be spent this construction year, Chapman said. Future OPWC projects include street resurfacing, bridge/culvert replacements, storm sewer improvements and water distribution improvements. Although we still have aging infrastructure components, I cannot imagine what it would be like if we were not able to utilize the OPWC Issue I funds, he said. Per the Ohio Public Works Commissions SCIP Assistance Report, Putnam County has received $24,419,622 and Van Wert County has received $21,543,599 in grants since the beginning of the program.

Star Wars: Episode Hollywood stars get little love at Tony noms VII cast unveiled
NEW YORK (AP) Star Wars: Episode VII finally has its stars. May the Force be with them. After months of carefully guarded secrecy and endless Internet speculation, the cast of the latest incarnation of the space epic was unveiled Tuesday on the official Star Wars website by Lucasfilm and the Walt Disney Co. Starring in J.J. Abrams new Star Wars are: John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Max von Sydow, Andy Serkis and Domhnall Gleeson. The companies declined to name the characters each will play, though Driver, the breakout star of HBOs Girls, is widely expected to be playing the films feature villain. They join returning Star Wars veterans Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. Peter Mayhew is also back as Chewbacca and Kenny Baker will reprise RD-D2. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again, director and co-writer Abrams said in a statement. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud. Disney will release Star Wars: Episode VII, which will be set 30 years after 1983s Return of the Jedi, in December 2015. Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, and immediately put a new Star Wars trilogy into development. NEW YORK (AP) It was a brutal Tuesday morning for some A-list stars on Broadway. Snubbed for Tony Award nominations were Denzel Washington, James Franco, Zachary Quinto, Michelle Williams, Orlando Bloom, Ethan Hawke, Zach Braff, Billy Crudup, Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig. Daniel Radcliffe struck out for his third consecutive Broadway show. Neil Patrick Harris, who won a nomination for his brilliant performance in the punk-rock show Hedwig and the Angry Inch, said he was surprised by the final list. But hes been a Tony host and knows from experience the process is often rough. Having been the host in previous years, its always interesting and surprising, he said. Its a small group of people that nominate and youre never quite sure what theyre responding to. That being said, it does get to showcase the talents of people who often dont get their moment in the spotlight. One of the winners on Tuesday was unconventional musicals: A Gentlemans Guide to Love and Murder, a romp with a leading man killed eight times, led the field with 10 nods. It was followed by Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a rock concert by a transgender German, with eight, and After Midnight, a candy sampler of stunning dance and singing acts, with seven. When the dust settled, the musicals up for the Tonys biggest prize are: After Midnight, A Gentlemans Guide to Love and Murder, Aladdin, and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Not one of the shows has a big movie star. Its going to be a really exciting Tony race to watch, said Scott Sanders, who produced After Midnight, which celebrates Duke Ellingtons years at the Cotton Club nightclub. (The nomination happened to come on Ellingtons birthday.) The four shows could not be more different in many ways. Another big winner was the old master himself Shakespeare. The Mark Rylance-led productions of Richard III and Twelfth Night from London together scooped up eight nominations.
Get for a great season!

Rylance, who played Richard III, will compete in the best leading actor in a play category with Samuel Barnett, also in Twelfth Night, Bryan Cranston in All The Way, Chris ODowd in Of Mice and Men and Tony Shalhoub in Act One. Rylance also snagged a supporting nomination playing a woman in Twelfth Night. He said he didnt care which role actually won. My preference is being nominated, he said, laughing. I find in my experience winning is rather an isolating, lonely experience. The Shakespeare productions performed by an all-male cast and seeking to replicate how the plays were produced in the Bards day also extended the trend on Broadway toward embracing drag. Last year, Kinky Boots and Matilda the Musical featured leading men dressed as women. This year has Casa Valentina, Harvey Fiersteins play about straight cross-dressers, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, starring Neil Patrick Harris in a skirt. Even Gentlemans Guide features Jefferson Mays playing both genders.
