Details emerge on Ohios health plan

By ANN SANNER The Associated Press COLUMBUS The states plan to streamline medical care for some of its sickest, most expensive and difficult to treat patients includes changes designed to eliminate unnecessary health tests, prevent medication errors and keep people healthier and out of emergency rooms. The proposal for those enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare could end up being a model for other states, said Ohio officials who drafted the plan. The officials are expected to send the details on Monday to the federal government, which must sign off on the changes. While the final details were still being worked out, state officials told The Associated Press on Friday that people who fall under the three-year pilot program would not see any immediate changes to their providers, though they could later. The target date for the plan to take effect is Jan. 1. There would be a transition period to the new managed care system, said Greg Moody, the director of the governors Office of Health Transformation. Its not so much changing the faces they see the case worker and others who treat them in their homes but trying to better coordinate the things they dont see that may be out of whack, Moody said in an interview. Beneficiaries are guaranteed the same nursing homes and case managers for the duration of the test run.

Patients could keep their same primary care doctors and specialists for at least the first year. Otherwise, they would have to pick new physicians if those doctors werent in the new provider network. And highest-risk sick patients could keep their same doctors and visiting nurses for the first 90 days. Moody said the plan would not lock patients in to certain providers but give them a choice within the network. Choice was among the top concerns brought to state officials by those enrolled in the programs, as well as from advocate groups such the Ohio Olmstead Task Force, which monitors long-term care issues for people with disabilities. The groups chair, Shelley Papenfuse, said she hopes to see more details Monday on how the state plans to ensure patients have the options they need. In particular, she wants beneficiaries in wheelchairs to be able to keep providers who meet their accessibility needs, such as adjustable examination tables or X-ray machines. Papenfuse said she had hoped the state would build into the proposal a requirement that there be a specific number of providers that meet those conditions. Without it, she said, I think we could make it worse when we move over to the new system. State officials said Friday there would be an adequate number of providers to meet the needs of those in wheelSee HEALTH, page 3

Why Trayvon is important

I dont know about you but the Trayvon Martin case has me riveted. Ive even allowed myself to watch HLN and actually pay attention to what they are saying. When the shooting of a 17-year-old AfricanAmerican boy by a 28-year-old half-Hispanic neighborhood watch guy first came to light, all you saw were pictures of a smiling, baby-faced boy and the mug shot of his shooter. I can call him that because no one is disputing that George Zimmerman shot him, least of all George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is saying it was self-defense. He claims he was attacked by Martin and feared for his life. Martins family is saying the youth was just going to the store to gets snacks before watching a game. Zimmerman was packing a 9mm. Martin had picked up Skittles and iced tea from the convenience store. Thats where I kind of got stuck. A young man with Skittles and iced tea; an adult man with a gun. At first glance, with shots of the two side by side, it was easy to make a hasty judgement about what happened that fateful night. The media loves to break things down to good and evil. I know Im the media but perhaps gentler and kinder than some. On the left you had the smiling Martin and on the right was a frowning, imposing-looking Zimmerman with the collar of a jailhouse jumpsuit showing. Ones the victim; ones the aggressor. The photos make it clear who is who. Or do they? The photo of Martin was several years old. More recent photos show him as 6 feet tall with several gold teeth and wearing a sleeveless T-shirt. He had also been suspended from school for marijuana residue in his backpack. The photo of Zimmerman was six or seven years old and taken when he was booked on the charge of assaulting a police officer. The charge

was later dropped. Newer photos show him cleanshaven in a suit and tie and several pounds thinner. We know you cant judge a book by its cover. Weve heard it enough and most of us have experienced that moment when something is nothing like what we thought it was. Why the Trayvon Martin shooting is so important is because the nation is waiting to see the justice system work. We need to find the truth. A lot of people arent looking for the truth, theyre looking for their truth. Very different. People change. Trayvon Martin was no freshfaced kid. George Zimmerman seemed to have made better choices with his life. One things for sure, well never know what really happened that night. But what we do know is that everything isnt always what it appears to be at first glance. Zimmerman wasnt arrested that night. Police seemed to believe his claim of self-defense. He was also treated for injuries. Martin cant tell us his version. The family is saying he was a good kid and the only smudge on the linen is the marijuana thing. Not such a shocking thing for a 17-year-old. Just look at the numbers. I hope it all gets sorted out. I want the right thing to happen here. If Zimmerman did feel his life was in danger, I feel he had the right to defend himself. If he was a gung-ho neighborhood vigilante, he needs to pay for his actions. Sounds so simple, doesnt it, when really, not so much.

Panel backs sharing The Delphos studies of lab-made bird flu Herald On Friday, board memBy MALCOLM RITTER
The Associated Press NEW YORK The U.S. governments biosecurity advisers said Friday they support publishing research studies showing how scientists made new easy-to-spread forms of bird flu because the studies, now revised, dont reveal details bioterrorists could use. The decision could end a debate that began in December when the government took the unprecedented step of asking the scientists not to publicize all the details of their work. The research, by two scientific teams one in Wisconsin, the other in the Netherlands was funded by the United States. It was an effort to learn more about the potential threat from bird flu in Asia. The virus so far doesnt spread easily among people. But the new lab-made viruses spread easily among ferrets, suggesting they would also spread among humans. Last year, after reviewing earlier versions of the papers, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity said publishing full details would be too risky. The federal government agreed. Scientists around the world debated the matter. Many argued that full publication would help scientists track dangerous mutations in natural bird flu viruses and test vaccines and treatments. bers, meeting in Washington, announced they are satisfied with the revised papers. The panels advice now goes to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for a decision. The board unanimously supported publication of one study, led by Yoshihiro Kawaoka, of the University of Wisconsin. By majority vote it supported publication of the key parts of a second study, from Ron Fouchier, of the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In an email, Kawaoka said the revisions to his paper were mainly a more in-depth explanation of the significance of the findings to public health and a description of the laboratory biosafety and biosecurity. Editors of the journals Science and Nature, which plan to publish the works, said they were pleased by the recommendation. Subject to any outstanding regulatory and legal issues, we intend to proceed with publication as soon as possible, said Philip Campbell, editor-in-chief of Nature. The manmade viruses are locked in high-security labs. Publication in scientific journals is how scientists share their work so that their colleagues can build on it, perhaps finding ways to better monitor and thwart bird flu in the wild, for example.

chairs. The federal Medicare program serves the elderly and disabled, while Medicaid provides coverage for the poor through state and federal funding. The two programs operate fairly independently of each other. Medicare generally helps pay for doctor and hospital visits, along with prescription drugs. Medicaid typically helps pay for long-term care, such as nursing homes, among other services. As a result of the lack of connection between the two programs, some patients are more costly to the system, Moody said. For instance, a patient could be discharged from a hospital to a nursing home instead of to a less expensive home-based care because the two programs arent talking to each other in the same setting. For folks with the most complicated health conditions, the system is very fragmented and kind of works against them, Moody said. What were trying to do with this is get all of it organized together in a way that theres a coherent benefit for Ohioans on both Medicare and Medicaid, so

they dont have to struggle to where to go. Ohio is proposing a three-year pilot program, beginning with those beneficiaries in seven mostly urban regions across the state. There are about 196,000 socalled fully enrolled dual eligible people in Ohio on both programs. They make up a small fraction of the 2.2 million people getting services through Medicaid but account for about 46 percent of Medicaid long-term care spending and 16 percent of behavior health service spending, state figures show. Oftentimes, they have multiple chronic conditions and require more extended care needs. Ohio officials are trying to address what they see as inefficiencies in the fee-for-service program. We pay if you show up to the emergency department. We pay if youre in to see the doc, Moody said. We dont pay them to coordinate. The state expects the proposed changes to provide savings, but officials dont have an estimate on how much. Their proposal asks that the federal government evenly split with the state any

Medicare savings it would recoup from the changes. The services available to beneficiaries arent expected to change, but how those services are coordinated will. Under the initiative, Ohio would contract with an entity to become the single point of contact for beneficiaries. The contractor would have to keep a centralized record available to all the doctors, nurses and other practitioners involved with the enrollees care and have an aggressive process to review all hospital admissions and nursing home placements to see whether they were appropriate or avoidable. The model spells out that a health care professional must be able to take enrollees calls, assess their situations and take action at any time of day. In addition, the plan emphasizes periodic visits to the beneficiaries homes, so they can be assessed in their own environments. After the plan is submitted Monday, the state will work with Washington on any revisions before it gets finalized. And federal officials will conduct their own public comment period on the plan.

Obama moving ahead with sanctions to squeeze Iran

By JULIE PACE and BEN FELLER The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama is moving ahead with tough new sanctions aimed at squeezing Irans oil exports after determining there is enough crude on world markets to take the step without harming U.S. allies. Obamas move allows the U.S. to go forward with sanctions on foreign banks that continue to purchase oil from Iran. The sanctions aim to further isolate Irans central bank, which processes nearly all of the Islamic Republics oil purchases, from the global economy. U.S. officials hope ratcheting up economic pressure will both push Iran to abandon its disputed nuclear program and convince Israel to give sanctions time to take hold before pursuing a military strike on Irans nuclear facilities. The U.S. and allies believe that Iran is pursuing a nuclear bomb; Iran denies that. Under a sweeping defense bill Obama signed at the end of December, he had until Friday to determine if there was enough oil supply on the world market to allow countries to cut their oil purchases from Iran. Obama announced his decision in a statement Friday after a source initially confirmed the news to The Associated Press. The president said he based his determination on global economic conditions, the level of spare oil capacity and increased production by some countries, among other factors. He said he would keep monitoring the global market closely to ensure it can handle a reduction of oil purchases from Iran. With oil prices already rising this year amid rising tensions over the nuclear dispute between Iran and the west, U.S. officials have sought assurances that pushing countries to stop buying from Iran would not cause a further spike in prices. Thats particularly important for Obama in an election year that has seen an increasing focus on gas prices. The congressionally mandated sanctions target foreign financial institutions that do business with Irans central bank barring them from operating in the U.S. to buy or sell Iranian oil. The penalties are to take effect at the end of June, around the same time Europes embargo on Iranian oil kicks in.

DEAR EDITOR: I need to comment on the Memories Down Mainstreet from March 24. I enjoy reading about our past. It is so nice. However, I have to correct something. Roger Geise said Jack Meyers moved his cleaning business to a new building on Jefferson Street near the IGA and that Luella Wittler worked for him until she retired. That was incorrect. Jack Meyers never moved off Main Street. The cleaners that moved to Jefferson Street was my dads cleaners. Mickey Vondran owned and operated Mickeys Drive-In Cleaners. We were located on the corner of Bredeick and Fifth streets. Hermie and Ruth Bucholtz owned a grocery store in the same building. It was around 1955 or 1956 when my dad decided to move his business to North Clay Street behind the IGA. Luella Wittler was his presser for a few years until she retired. All the cleaners on Main Street, one by one, went out of business. Mickeys Cleaners was the only one left. My dads health went bad and he had to sell our business in the late 70s. If this wasnt about my dad, I wouldnt have said anything but I had to correct it. Thanks for listening. Beverly (Vondran) Derrow Delphos

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

US consumer spending up 0.8 pct.; income lags

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON U.S. consumers boosted their spending in February by the most in seven months. But Americans income barely grew, and the saving rate fell to its lowest point in more than two years. The Commerce Department said Friday that consumer spending rose 0.8 percent last month. Income grew 0.2 percent, matching Januarys weak increase. And when taking inflation into account, income after taxes fell for a second straight month. Still, consumers are spending more after the best three-month hiring stretch in two years. Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics, suggested that estimated annual growth for the economy in the current January-March quarter may be revised up to around 2.5 percent, compared with earlier estimates of about 2 percent. Dales cautioned, though, that at some point, consumers wont be able to draw further on their savings. Further job gains are needed to boost consumers income. Some of the higher spending last month reflected surging gas prices. But consumers spent more on other goods and services, too. After excluding inflation, which was due mainly to gas prices, spending rose a solid 0.5 percent. The saving rate dropped to 3.7 percent of after-tax income in February. That was the lowest level since August 2009. The saving rate had been 4.3 percent in January. It had averaged 4.7 percent for all of last year.

Romney wealth in focus on campaign trail

APPLETON, Wis. (AP) Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney on Friday defended his personal wealth amid intensifying criticism from his main GOP rival and President Barack Obamas re-election campaign, unlikely allies working to portray the former businessman as out of touch with most Americans. Romney, who is worth up to $250 million, would be among the nations richest presidents if elected. His Democratic and Republican opponents have thrust Romneys success to the forefront of the presidential contest as he tightens his grasp on the GOP nomination. If we become one of those societies that attacks success, one outcome is certain there will be a lot less success, Romney said during a speech thick with general election undertones at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis. Youre going to hear a deafening cacophony of charges and counter-charges and my prediction is that by Nov. 6 most of you are going to be afraid to turn on your TV. The former Massachusetts governor argued his case several days before the GOP primary Tuesday in Wisconsin, a state that has general election implications as he courts the working-class voters who make up the bulk of the electorate. Obama won Wisconsin by 14 percentage points in November 2008. Speaking to Wisconsin voters 250 miles to the west, Rick Santorum suggested anew that Romney has little grasp of the problems facing working Americans. We need someone who can talk and relate to folks battling in this economy, not someone talking about being a CEO of a company and making jokes about firing people, Santorum said. No, I dont do very well among people with incomes over $200,000 in the Republican Party. Those arent the Democrats and independents were going to get in the general election, he said. Were going to get the voters Ronald Reagan brought to the table folks who are blue-collar folks who shared our values but were suspicious Republicans werent on their side. Though Romney grew up with wealth and privilege as the son of a Michigan governor, he has tried to downplay his early advantages and said

Countries can still avoid the sanctions if they take steps to significantly reduce their imports before then. Even before Fridays decision, the State Department announced that it would grant waivers to 10 European Union countries and Japan because of steps they have already taken to cut back on Iranian oil. An E.U. oil embargo, approved in January, is set to take effect in July. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who co-authored the sanctions legislation with Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, said he welcomed Obamas support in targeting Irans Central Bank. Menendezs office says he was also notified of the decision earlier Friday Today, we put on notice all nations that continue to import petroleum or petroleum products from Iran that they have three months to significantly reduce those purchases or risk the imposition of severe sanctions on their financial institutions, Menendez said in a statement. He predicted most countries would cut their purchase of oil from Iran, either out of fear of sanctions, or a shared fear over the Irans pursuit of nuclear weaponry. in Fridays speech that he took an entry-level job after graduating from Harvard law and business schools. I loved cars and I was very tempted to stay in Michigan and go into the car business as he had, but I knew I would always wonder if any success I had was due to my father, Romney said. So when I got out of business school, I stayed in Massachusetts where I went to school and got an entry-level job with the best company that would hire me. Despite efforts to connect, Romney has repeatedly reminded voters unintentionally that he lives a different kind of life. He casually bet a rival $10,000 during a December presidential debate. Hes adding several expensive upgrades, such as a car garage, to a home in California. And hes mentioned multiple times that his friends include the owners of professional sports teams. Romney spent virtually his entire business career with Bain Consulting and Bain Capital, the Boston-based private equity firms where he earned the fortune that has allowed him to go for more than a decade without earning a regular paycheck.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WASHINGTON There are so many appalling aspects to the Trayvon Martin case that its hard to find a permanent home for outrage. Most appalling, obviously, is the fatal shooting of an unarmed 17-year-old who was targeted by a 28-year-old volunteer neighborhood watchman. George Zimmerman thought Martin seemed suspicious, and followed him for a while before Martin allegedly attacked him. What really happened is anyones guess since Martin isnt here to tell his side of the story, and there were no witnesses to the shooting. Theres audio of Zimmerman calling 911 to report his concerns about Martin. Theres grainy video of Zimmerman arriving at the police station not looking, by some appraisals, sufficiently battered to corroborate his tale of being attacked. Also appalling is the presumed racial motivation. Given that Martin was armed only with iced tea and a bag of Skittles and given that his suspicious behavior seems to have hinged primarily on the fact that he was wearing a hoodie its easy to see why some have concluded that race was a factor, though not only blacks wear hoodies. How many police sketches have we seen of white suspects

Our appalling-ness

KATHLEEN PARKER

Point of View
wearing hoodies? Plenty. Would Zimmerman have found a fellow Hispanic suspicious under the same circumstances? A white male? We dont know, but we do know that Zimmerman and his wife mentored two AfricanAmerican children, hardly the actions of hardened racists. Add to the appalling roster the growing congregation of usual suspects crowing, profiling and politicizing the case. From movie stars to talk show hosts and then to a congressman who wore a hoodie to the House floor the tragedy of Trayvon Martin has become a cause for celebration. A month later, the hoodie has become a symbol of solidarity against institutional racism. We all wear hoodies now. That we all want justice for Trayvon Martin should be a foregone assumption. But also assumed should be the understanding that we await all the facts before we convict. Without knowing much of anything, we seem to have

reached a consensus that this is a case of racially motivated violence. When President Obama commented on the case, saying that if he had a son, hed look like Trayvon, he set a narrative in motion from which there seems to be no retreat. Another appalling feature of this horrific event is the apparent attempt by some to paint a less-than-favorable portrait of Martin. It is true that early photos released of him showed a younger, more apple-cheeked version. More recent images reveal a youngster becoming a man not quite as cuddly, but certainly no less attractive than other teens as they morph from child to adult. Weve also learned that Martin used the Internet as many his age do. He used rough language and a handle that includes the N-word. He also apparently had been suspended from school for marijuana possession at the time of his death. It happens, but really, so what? It isnt wrong to try to learn more about the involved parties in an attempt to imagine how they might have interacted. But I cant fathom what these details have to do with Martins death. A teen who smokes pot and plays tough guy on the Internet isnt necessarily going to punch a

stranger in the nose. Isnt this something like pointing out that a rape victim was flirty and wore short skirts? What is likely is that both men scared each other for different reasons and one tragically overreacted. It is certainly plausible that Martin was terrified and acted accordingly. When he told his girlfriend by phone that someone was following him, she told him to run. Would that he had, but in his mind, Martin might have considered this a risky option. Apropos of Martins less angelic side, parents of boys know that young males say and do dumb things that dont mean anything. They act cocky out of fear or talk trash to deflect. They wear hoodies or backward baseball caps or low-hanging jeans because these innocuous gestures of grandiosity are often the only weapons available to the unarmed. We all have our ways of telegraphing, Dont mess with me (please). That someone would interpret one such symbol or gesture as suspicious or threatening, prompting him ultimately to use lethal force, is the most appalling feature in a case in which outrage has too many homes.

Jeffersons Schleeter no-hits Parkway 3-0

By JIM COX ROCKFORD Jefferson senior Jeff Schleeter threw a no-hitter at Parkway Friday afternoon, as the Wildcats surprised the Panthers 3-0. Delphos is now 3-3, Parkway 2-2. Schleeter kept the Panthers off balance for the entire seven innings with an assortment of curves, sliders, and fastballs. He struck out only four while walking six. Of his 106 pitches, 57 were strikes. I expect Jeff (Schleeter) to come out and give us a good start, keep us in the game, said Jefferson coach Doug Geary. Hes had one good start already. He got us our first win of the year. He looked good in our scrimmages, too, so Im not surprised by how he pitched. No-hitting Parkway like this, though, thats a heckuva feat. Parkways Jordan Strader was also excellent, yielding three runs, all earned, on five hits, while striking out two and walking three. He threw 93 pitches, including 57 strikes. While the story of the game was the two pitchers, the Jeffcats also got some timely hitting. The game started with a strong wind blowing in from centerfield, but the wind shifted suddenly in the fourth inning, blowing out toward left. Jefferson first baseman Zach Kimmett took advantage in the top of the fourth, blasting a fly ball over the leftfield fence to put the Cats up 1-0. Delphos added two in the top of the seventh. Catcher Justin Rode led off with a line single through the third/ short hole. Pinchhitters Evan Neubert and Curtis Miller drew walks to fill the bags. Rightfielder Seth Wollenhaupt drilled a grounder down the third base line, but Brandon Moorman backhanded it nicely and threw home for the force out. Centerfielder Mike Joseph bounced to short, forcing Wollenhaupt at second, but Neubert came home to make it 2-0, Cats. Second baseman Austin Jettinghoff flaired an opposite-field single to right, scoring Miller with the games final run. The team came focused they were ready to play, said Geary. We left the diamond last night (a 19-0 loss to Delphos St. Johns) very disappointed, flat out embarrassed at how we played. We regrouped, talked it over, had a good BP, came over here, and beat a very good Parkway team.

Lady Bearcat 2012 track and field

Along with the fine pitching, the game featured some good defense by both teams. Both shortstops Riley Bransteter and George came up with dazzling plays, and another good one ended the game. In the bottom of the seventh, Panther coach Mike Schumm sent up four straight pinch hitters Cain Pontsler (walk), Jordan Stephenson (walk), Kameron Roehm (pop out), and Tommy McDonough, who hit the hardest ball all day off of Schleeter, a screamer to left, where Kyle Anspach snagged it and fired a strike to second base, doubling off Ponstler to end the game. The Parkway coaches had a long, long talk with the team after the game. I dont know how a team that scores 15 runs and 11 runs in two games comes back and isnt able to score in two back to back games (the Panthers lost to Celina 3-0 Thursday), said Panther coach Mike Schumm. Our effort tonight at the plate wasnt very good. Our pitching was very good. Defensively, we played a pretty solid game. We chased balls out of the strike zone when we were ahead in the count. Thats not good discipline. Their pitcher did a great job of changing speeds and getting good location, but we have to be more disciplined as a group. Were better than that.

Walk, error push Vikings over Grove Bulldogs

By CHARLIE WARNIMONT Sentinel Sports Editor LEIPSIC Columbus Grove pitcher Trey Roney deserved a better fate Friday afternoon. The Bulldog junior tossed a one hitter as the Bulldogs opened Putnam County League play at Leipsic. However, a walk and throwing error led to the only run of the game as Columbus Grove fell to Leipsic 1-0 on a cold, damp afternoon in Leipsic. The win moves the Vikings to 2-1 on the season, while the Bulldogs dropped to 1-2. Roney threw well against an experienced Leipsic team, allowing only a third inning single to Leipsics eighth batter in Daniel DeLaRosa. He struck out two Viking batters in the game and walked four, but saw his defense turn a pair of doubleplays to help erase two Leipsic base runners. Trey is a competitor, Columbus Grove coach Cory King said. The one thing we have to work on is that we can not walk the leadoff hitter and we did that in more than one inning. Our defense made some plays today, but we didnt execute on that one play and it cost us. While Roney was pitching well for the Bulldogs, his counterpart for the Vikings, Travis Schroeder, also was throwing well. Schroeder, a senior, retired the first 11 batters he faced before Matt Jay singled with two outs in the fourth inning to break up his perfect game. Schroeder finished the day giving up four hits, but no runs, while striking out six and not walking a batter. Travis pitched well, Leipsic coach Darren Henry said. He threw a lot of fastballs today as he couldnt find his curveball, but he managed to work through it. I dont think he threw a curveball the last four innings. And our defense played well today. Both defenses played well as there were a number of plays made by each teams defense on a difficult day. Leipsic mounted the first scoring threat of the game as DeLaRosa reached third base on an errant pickoff throw by Grove catcher Matt Jay. A groundball to third base and a line drive to second base stranded DeLaRosa. After Jays single in the fourth broke up Schroeders perfect game, the Bulldogs collected their second hit in the fifth as Kody Griffith had an infield single after the ball hit off Schroeder on the mound. Columbus Grove inserted a pinch runner as they prepared to bunt. The bunt attempt was popped up at the plate and caught by Leipsic catcher Nate Mangas, who quickly turned a double play as the pinch runner was at second base. After giving up the third inning single, Roney allowed a base runner in the fourth, but saw a double play erase him. In the sixth inning Leipsic came up with the break they were looking for. DeLaRosa started the inning by working a walk and was replaced by pinch runner Neil Haselman. Brady Schroeder followed with a perfect bunt down the third base line that was picked up by Bulldog third baseman Josh Verhoff. Verhoffs throw to first base was high and sailed down the right field line. By the time the Bulldogs

chased down the ball, it allowed Haselman to race around the bases and score. Columbus Grove threatened in their half of the seventh as Jay collected his second hit of the game, a one out single to right-center. Jay was forced at second base on a groundball to second base by Roney. Clay Diller came on to run for Diller and stole second base to put himself in scoring position. It was the first time all night the Bulldogs had a runner in scoring position. We took a gamble, King said of the steal. We hadnt had a runner in scoring position all night and if we were going to score we needed one. It worked out fine as we got that hit we were looking for. Griffith provided the Bulldogs with a chance to tie the game with a single to right field. As Diller raced around third, Leipsic rightfielder Nate Schey came up with the ball and fired a strike to home plate to get Diller sliding in. This was a great high school game, Henry said. There wasnt a lot of hitting, but the weather had something to do with that as well as the pitching. Their kid threw well and mixed up his pitches well. I feel fortunate to be 1-0 in the league. It came down to the fact we made a couple of more plays than they did. *** Columbus Grove 000 000 0 - 0 41 Leipsic 000 001 x - 1 1 0 WP-Travis Schroeder. LP-Roney.

The Delphos Red 5th/6th grade team and coaches Greg Gossman and Craig Poling are pictured with the new Gun 8000 Series. Gossman is vice president of the Jefferson Athletic Boosters who purchased the Gun 8000. With the new piece of equipment, players can shoot up to 1,800 shots per hour. The first professional baseball game ever played indoors (an exhibition game between the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees) was played in 1965 at the Astrodome in Houston. The Astros defeated the Yankees.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, APRIL 1, 2012 In situations where you hope to strengthen your image and advance your personal interests, you are likely to receive considerable help from others in the year ahead. Be sure to do all that you can to reciprocate. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Some interesting changes could start taking place concerning your social life. You could meet someone who will introduce you to a new and exciting group of people. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Pay close attention to any insights you get that have to do with ways you could help your family. You might spot some advantages that would aid those close to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It behooves you to nurture a relationship with someone youve just met. You have much more in common than you may first realize, and youll enjoy sharing time together. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you are offered something that is quite unique, dont look this gift horse in the mouth. Lady Luck may be rewarding you materially in a rather unusual manner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Set aside routine activities that are of a tiresome nature in order to experiment with something rather unique. Take advantage of opportunities the second they arise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -In situations where others cant find a single answer, your facile mind will have much to offer. However, it might take challenging circumstances to stimulate your ingenuity and cleverness. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -This might be one of those days an unusual amount of quick thinking will be called for. Fortunately, your input will have a positive influence on whatever situations arise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your progress may be predicated upon your ability to effectively use new technology. Dont hesitate to be innovative in order to determine what can be improved upon. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Dont tie yourself down with things that can easily be handled by associates. Youre a good executive, and those whom you select for special jobs will live up to your expectations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should be rather lucky in involvements with members of your immediate family. Nurture these arrangements and something beneficial will result. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Ideas that are of a progressive nature will have the best chances for success; traditional concepts wont be nearly as fruitful. This should be right up your alley. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Give your limited resources a break and try to do things yourself as much as possible. It would help both your pride and your purse to avoid paying others to do the work. MONDAY, APRIL 2, 2012 In the year ahead, you might be able to finally put to rest a situation that has caused you considerable aggravation and distress for quite some time. Once its all locked down, youll feel it was worth it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -If you didnt get much recreational relief over the weekend, dont push yourself too heavily. You need to balance your mental processes in order to move forward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You wont be compelled to take some time to help assuage the needs of others, but youll feel good about yourself if you do. Devote as much time as you feel you can to the process. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Youll come up with a rather ingenious concept, and because youre a natural-born salesperson, you shouldnt have any problem selling it to the powers that be. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -This is one of those days when you could be inclined to be a bit loose with your resources and easily spend them on something you enjoy rather than on what you need. Be careful. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Sometimes getting others to do something that youre eminently qualified to do for yourself can be stupid. Delegating some of your work might be deleterious rather than helpful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -This is one of those days when you will be far more effective playing a supportive role rather than a starring one. Position yourself where youll be able to do the most good. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Because your affairs have a better chance of working out than you anticipate, dont let yourself get discouraged over something petty. Stay positive and optimistic throughout the day. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- By staying positive, others will admire the way you handle things, and their approbation will enhance your image even further. Having a good attitude makes for success. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Because youll have implicit faith in whatever your position happens to be today, youll be easily aroused to a righteous defense. Youre in the right, and you should have no problems making your points. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont hesitate to trade on the business acumen of a trusted associate. A joint endeavor in which youre involved will be far more promising with her or him on board. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you sense that making a concession or a compromise can be to your ultimate benefit, youd be right. This is one of those times when giving can be the key to getting. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Your chances for achieving success will be increased if you make sure your goal is clearly defined. It might be better to have only one major target at a time.

Music

Phil Dirt and the Dozers, July 22 (Continued from page 1) with parents of high school percussion students to share is considered the regions some ideas I had for the perbest Jimmy Buffet Tribute cussion department, includBand. They are dedicated musicians, playing with skill and passion. Stadium Park will be alive with the tropical music and rhythms brought by this great band. July 22 Phil Dirt & The Dozers Americas premiere Rock N Roldies review expresses musical talent with high energy and a contagious sense of humor. Phil Dirt & The Dozers will transport listeners to the 1950s and 60s for classic music of the era. Imagine hearing The Four Seasons Sherry with the original falsetto vocals intact, the Righteous Brothers Pantasia, Aug. 12 Unchained Melody or Youve Lost That Lovin Feeling or Pretty Woman and In Dreams by Roy Orbison. Party on the beach with The Beach Boys and imagine the Platters Only You performed with all the scratches and skips found on a well-worn 33 1/3 record, the way The Dozers first learned it. The Phil Dirt time machine also stops by the 1970s for hits from the Doobie Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, Eagles and the OJays. Aug. 12 2012 edition of Pantasia The following is a quote from Pantasia Director Tim Mattis: In September 1995, as I was beginning my second year as an assistant band director in the Findlay City Schools. I had a meeting Dan Heath with the Paradise Band, Aug. 26

ing the concept of a steelband. Almost one year later I was contacted by one of the parents, a local attorney, who had attended that meeting. He said that two of his elderly clients had expressed an interest in helping to nurture the musical arts at Findlay High School and asked him if he had any suggestions. After meeting with the couple and their attorney, they made a donation of $10,000 toward the start-up costs of a new steelband. With an additional $6,000 from various other donors, we were able to purchase two of each voice (lead, seconds, cellos and bass) from Panyard, Inc. of Akron. This also included all stands, cases, mallets, 12 music arrangements and a variety of miscellaneous per-

cussion instruments. As of January 2003, the band has expanded to 35 pans covering 14 voices, a new drum set and an estimated value of over $70,000. We are very thankful to our community for its support of the arts in public education. Without it this dream of a steelband would have remained just that. Aug. 26 Dan Heath with the Paradise Band The song list for Dan Heath with the Paradise Band is inspired by the standards.

Sheriff notes problems with fire warnings

By REMA RAHMAN The Associated Press CONIFER, Colo. Authorities said Friday they are investigating how well an emergency telephone notification system worked during a deadly Colorado wildfire because some residents who signed up never got a warning. About 12 percent of the people authorities intended to notify didnt get a warning Monday about the wildfire in the mountains southwest of Denver. Jefferson County sheriffs spokesman Mark Techmeyer said some of those people likely hung up after hearing a pause that precedes the automated message, or their phone lines may have been busy.

We want to get to the bottom of this as much as our citizens do, Techmeyer said. The company that handles the system, Baton Rouge, La.-based FirstCall Network Inc., said it worked exactly as it should have. FirstCall provides the alert service to as many as 200 agencies nationwide. I know that everyone who opted in got the call, FirstCall President Mark Teague said Friday.

NEW YORK (AP) MasterCard and Visa said Friday that they had notified issuers of its credit cards of a potential breach of the security of customer accounts. The companies did not say how many customers were affected. Global Payments Inc., which processes credit card transactions for stores, said it had detected a breach of card data in early March. Breaches of card data can lead to identity theft and unauthorized charges. Global Payments said it had alerted federal law enforcement and was investigating. Spokeswoman Amy Corn would not say whether cards besides Visa and MasterCard were affected. Credit card companies generally protect customers against fraudulent transactions, and Visa said specifically Friday that its U.S. customers were not at risk. Both Visa and MasterCard said their own systems had not been compromised.
