Rakay
DELPHOS Trinity United Methodist

Churchs new pastor Richard Rakay has been
very busy with the plans for the new Family
Life Center and building the mission since his
appointment to the church last summer.
A lot of what Im doing is more of an
administrative role, he said, organizing
and building a solid base for the next big
thing.
Rakay said The Family Life Center
which will have its grand opening June 7
has taken a lot of the churchs focus.
The center will house Tender Times Child
Development Center which will move into
the facility in March and have a grand opening
in April a full commercial kitchen and a
gymnasium.
The pre-school daycare will serve up to
68 children aged 6 weeks to Pre-K, Rakay
said. This is phase one of a master plan and

phase 2 includes a sanctuary and offices.
The Family Life Center will also be hosting the Upwards Basketball and Cheerleading
benefit this next fall.
We are really excited about that event,
he added. It will be an eight-week season
that was held at Hartford Christian Church in
Spencerville in the past.
Rakay said along with looking forward to a
successful completion of the life center, he is
building a mission trip to Brick Port, Illinois
where there was devastating tornado damage
back in 2013. The trip is slated for May 23-30
and the church is looking for volunteers to
help.
The damages are from the same storm that
hit Joplin, Missouri, Rakay detailed. We
will work on repairs and renovations.
Rakay said he likes living in Delphos and
feels the community is very accommodating.

VAN WERT Northwest Ohio in general and Van Wert

in particular are gathering significant attention from an
award-winning publication recognized the corporate executives, site selection consultants and real estate professionals.
The latest report from Site Selection Magazine shows Van
Wert tied for 23rd of all micropolitans in the United States.
Findlay was ranked number one. In fact, of 576 communities
of between 10,000 and 50,000 population, four were placed in
the top 10 and 20 of the top 100 are Ohio communities.
For Van Wert, the national exposure is increased by being
featured in a January 2015 issue of Site Selection magazine on
Megasites. The 1,600-acre Van Wert Mega Site is highlighted
in the story with consultant Johnathan Gemmen of Austin
Consulting who is quoted by Adam Bruns as saying, Just over

surprised at what I saw, and the sense of community for a town

should follow university recommendations for P fertilization. No fertilizer should be
applied over the critical level
needed for crop production.
The goal is to get farmers
to use less P and to use it
more efficiently. Current P
use efficiency is only 10-30
percent. P fertilizer is expected to become more expensive
as USA phosphorus reserves
are used up by the year 2040.
Farmers should be encouraged to inject P fertilizer,
not incorporate fertilizer.
Incorporation implies tillage
(plowing or disking) which
is causing poor soil structure and soil compaction and
increased soil erosion. The
bioavailable P in sediment is
30 percent available to algae
and plants and is a significant
source of P runoff. Farmers
are banding less P with their
starter fertilizer because it
slows down planting but fall
surface applied P fertilizer
may be lost with snow melt
or spring rains. Technology
needs to be developed that
encourages P injection without excessively tilling the soil
for our conventional tillage
farmers.
For
no-till
farmers,
encourage cover crops and
allow applying surface P fertilizer since improved soil
structure, increased water
infiltration, and higher water
storage allows P to be tied
up by plant roots or the soil
mineralogy. High levels of
active organic matter (ExP)
and humus bind soil P. The P
in the residue remains plant
available and improves P use
efficiency so that less P fertilizer is needed.

Hot-shooting Blue Jay boys

advance in sectional tournament

DHI Media Sports Editor

Musings

March is here already. Where did January and February
go?
We are hot and heavy into the high school girls basketball tournament, the wrestling wars are in the Districts this
weekend and the boys hardwood tourney is just getting
underway.
Thoughts of Columbus, The Schott and golden hardware are still on the minds of many of our local athletes.
That is along with the dashed hopes of more than a few
of our local athletes.
I have always written and believed even more so
now that this is the best and toughest time of the year.
Every individual and every team has a goal of being the
last person standing in their respective sport, so its the best
and most intense time of the season.
However, when that doesnt happen and when a team
or individual gets eliminated, its the hardest and toughest,
especially when its the swan song of a soon-to-be graduate
in that particular sport.
Especially when you consider what a small percentage
of student-athletes actually continue their sports careers at
the next level, even at the lowest levels of college.
That cannot be easy, can it?
As I get older in this profession I have been doing
this for 25-plus years and it only seems like 24 years and
364 days it gets harder for me to see our athletes graduate and move on.
I know I might lapse into sentimental thoughts here
but so be it. I dont think I am alone here because I think
many a parent though I am not one might understand
whence I come from here.
More and more, I watch them grow from freckle-faced
children as freshman yes, its hard to believe many of
them were that small once into the disciplined, talented
and focused young men and women than many of them
have become.
You hope that in the job you do, you have given them
a fair chance to become known by the fellow residents of
this city, the tri-counties and the like and have been at least
a somewhat positive influence on their lives.
I admit I have failed and I apologize to those I let down.

VAN WERT When you

start the tournament trail in
any sport, you look to get
those first-game jitters out of
the way and do what you have
to do in order to advance.
That is simply what St.
Johns head boys basketball
coach Aaron Elwer was looking for Wednesday night versus
Cory-Rawson in their Division
IV Van Wert Sectional opener
at The Cougars Den.
The Blue Jays got off to a
16-2 lead after one period and
a 25-3 edge before the midway
mark of the second before finishing a 59-33 victory.
We did what we had to do:
get off to a good start in our
first tournament game. We did
a lot of good things to do just
that, Elwer explained. We
had some experienced players
from last year that already had
been through the tournament
but we have new guys that
didnt, so they have their feet
wet now. There wont be an
excuse Friday but were not
into excuses anyway.
The Jays (16-6) will
play Lincolnview, who vanquished
Pandora-Gilboa
72-40 later Wednesday, in the
second game Friday (approximately 8 p.m.).
St. Johns was a torrid
24-of-41 shooting for the
night 4-of-11 downtown
for 58.8 percent. They
backed that up with a 32-16
dominance off the backboards (8-6 offensive).
The Jays led from start
to finish, getting an opening
3-ball by Alex Odenweller
(game-high 14 markers, 5
boards) at 5:43. The Hornets
minus the 6-8 Ryan Forney
(ineligible since the end of the

St. Johns senior Evan Hays gathers himself to make a

move against Cory-Rawson senior Spencer Silvers during
the first game Wednesday at Van Wert. (DHI Media/Tina
Eley)
counters - 3 triples - 4 steals).
Thats all she wrote for the
Hornets as they were held
scoreless from the field for
the next 9-plus minute and
didnt score from anywhere
the rest of the opener versus
the Jays rugged man-to-man
defense. On the other end,
the only negative for the Jays
was turnovers 14 for the
game as their offense was
clicking at a high rate. They
shot 6-of-9 the rest of the half
(7-of-11 for the quarter), with
Andy Grothouse (13 counters, 7 boards, 3 assists) and
Tyler Conley (11 markers, 6
rebounds, 3 steals) netting
four each. When Evan Hays
(5 assists, 4 boards) drove to
the rim for a deuce at 4.3 ticks
showing, their lead was 16-2.
A free throw by Spencer
Silvers (9 markers, 3 assists)
at 6:41 broke the 6-plus-minute Rawson drought and the
Jays were slightly less efficient with their offense in

the second canto 4-of-8
shooting, plus six miscues.
A runner by Silvers broke
the C-R field-goal drought at
3:29. The Jays biggest lead
of the first half was 27-5 on
a layin by Tim Kreeger (9
counters) at 2:17 before the
Hornets put together a 6-0
spurt, capped by a putback
from Ethan Misamore at 17
ticks, to make it 27-11 at the
half, St. Johns.
Alspach (2 triples) and
Silvers heated up for CoryRawson in the third with six
counters each as they downed
7-of-14 shots. On the other
end, the Jays received six
from as they heated back
up for 7-of-12. A transition banker by Ian Moser
(3 assists) at 5:00 got CoryRawson within 30-21 but the
Jays then re-asserted their
dominance and downed six

of their final eight third-period shots to snag a 45-27 edge
on a Robbie Saine rainbow
from left of the key with 7.1
ticks on the board.
The nearest C-R got in the
fourth was 15 47-32 on
an Alspach bomb at the 6-minute mark but the Jays steadily
pulled away and turned the
final margin into a rout as the
benches saw more playing
time as time wore down.
The good thing was the
fast start. Sometimes, that is a
bad thing as well; it really can
be difficult to play with a big
lead, Elwer added. Again,
thats no excuse. You have
to realize that the other team
isnt going to quit and they
had some guys in this case,
Alspach that could get hot
in a hurry. Plus, you worry
about the turnovers that I felt
were unforced. As a coach,
youre always looking for perfection for your team; it may
not be realistic but thats what
you seek. I know this: we will
have to be better Friday. We
will need solid preparation.
Cory-Rawson finished
with 14-of-45 shooting
3-of-18 beyond the arc for
31.1 percent and 2-of-6 foul
shots (33.3%); with 10 turnovers; and 10 fouls.

Dowdys 32 leads
Lancers to sectional final
By JOHN PARENT
sports@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT On
Wednesday
afternoon,
Lincolnview senior Justis
Dowdy was named to the
All-Northwest Conference
first team. On Wednesday
evening, in a Division IV sectional semifinal game at Van
Wert, Dowdy showed why he
deserved such an honor.
Dowdy connected on 13
of 16 field goal attempts for
a game-high 32 points as the
Lancers blew away PandoraGilboa 73-40. Lincolnview
advances to Fridays sectional final where it will take on
Delphos St. Johns.
Thats
the
Justis
weve had all year long,
Lincolnview head coach
Brett Hammons said. Hes
our key; when hes going the
way he was tonight, no matter who were playing, we get
on a roll.
The Rockets (4-19) have
a roster of one senior, one
junior and six freshmen, yet
they showed early spunk in
this one, fighting back from
a 6-2 deficit to take a 10-8
lead thanks, in part, to a
pair of 3-pointers by Cooper
McCullough. Lincolnview
came back with a Derek
Youtsey hoop before Dowdy
launched and connected on
a trey of his own, part of a
9-point first quarter that saw
the Lancers take a 17-10 lead
after eight minutes.
We were struggling there
a little bit, it was 10-8, but
Justis hit a three to get us
going, Hammons added.
He kind of sparked the run
we made there.
Lincolnviews defense
forced seven first-quar-

ter turnovers and remained
opportunistic in the second period, forcing seven
more. Meanwhile, Dowdy,
who added 11 points in the
quarter, was getting plenty of help. Inside baskets
by Hayden Ludwig and
Chandler Adams, along with
a pair of jumper by Trevor
Neate had the Lancers up
40-14 by halftime.
The top two Rocket scoring threats, freshman Drew
Johnson and senior Colin
Festermaker, were largely held in check through
three quarters, though both
reached double figures
thanks to a fourth quarter
that saw the Rockets outscore
Lincolnviews reserves by a
21-10 margin. Festermaker

ended his high school career
with 15 points, six rebounds
and four blocked shots.
We stressed staying in
front of the ball because we
knew they would go 4-out,
1-in, Hammons noted. We
wanted to keep the ball out
of (Festermakers) hands and
we knew it was going to be
tough because (Johnson) is a
good player. We talked about
staying in front and being
one pass away. When were
one pass away, weve got to
be in the passing lanes and
we probably had six or seven
steals just on deflections that
way.
Dowdy, who didnt play
after the 2:00 mark of the
third quarter, finished with

32 points while grabbing five
rebounds and dishing two
assists. He also came away
with six steals. Ludwig and
Neate each added nine points
for the Lancers with Youtsey
scoring six points and grabbing nine boards.
Though the season ended
with a lopsided loss, PandoraGilboa head coach Logan
Smith has seen great growth
from a largely inexperienced
roster.
We actually had a better
year than what our record
indicates, Coach Smith said
following the game. We had
a lot of injuries and the last
couple games have been a
tough ending to what is perceived as a poor year, but I
take it as a really good year.
We were competitive; we
played six of the eight guys
in our main rotation were
freshmen.
The Rockets have a solid
group of eight graders coming up next year and, along
with the returning sophomore, the Rockets could have
the makings of a program to
be reckoned with in years to
come.

two weeks ago in Middle

his team will have to be even
better if they want to advance
to districts with a win on
Friday night.
That was a game where
we were down 10 in the first
half but we came out in the
second half and played pretty
well, Hammons recalled of
the last meeting with the Blue
Jays. Were going to have to
be better on Friday night if
we want to be in the game, if
we want to win.
Moffitt parlays Atlanta finish into deal with Front Row

Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Brett Moffitt
opened the year with exactly one race on
his 2015 schedule, the Sprint Cup race
at Atlanta as the replacement driver for
Brian Vickers.
He made the most of his opportunity, finishing eighth last Sunday in
a head-turning performance. Now the
Michael Waltrip Racing development
driver has parlayed the run into more
seat time.
Moffitt on Wednesday got a 3-race
deal to drive the No. 34 for Front Row
Motorsports starting this weekend at
Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Hes also
slotted to drive the next two weeks at
Phoenix and Fontana, California.
After last weekend, Im obviously
eager to get back into a car and keep racing, Moffitt said. Im grateful to Bob
Jenkins and his team for giving me the

chance to do that. Ill do my best to get
some good finishes for them. Im also
thankful that Michael Waltrip Racing is
allowing me to pursue this opportunity.
Front Rows seat opened when David
Ragan was picked up by Joe Gibbs
Racing to be the injury replacement for
Kyle Busch for the foreseeable future.
Joe Nemechek replaced Ragan but Front
Row worked out a deal with MWR and
Toyota to get the 22-year-old Moffitt in
the car the next three weeks.
Front Row is a Ford team and Moffitt
a Toyota Racing Development test driver, but both sides have been accommodating since Busch was injured two
weeks ago.
We know Brett doesnt have a ton
of Sprint Cup experience but hes got a
lot of hours behind the wheel in testing
time, and he was certainly impressive
Sunday in Atlanta, Front Row owner

Jenkins said. For only his eighth start,
he showed a lot of poise, patience and
maturity that you dont often see in drivers that age.
Moffitt ran seven Cup races last year
with a best finish of 22nd at Dover in his
debut. Driving for Vickers, who sat out
the first two races of the year following
offseason heart surgery, put Moffitt in
his best equipment to date and he delivered.
I had this one opportunity to prove
myself and I think we more than exceeded the expectations, he added this week.
Its gotten the ball rolling on some
opportunities and thats what I need to
get in the car more often.
MWR, which wants Moffitt to get as
much seat time as possible, was pleased
a deal with Front Row could be worked
out.
Indians prospect Lindor shines in win

By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
GOODYEAR, Ariz. Francisco Lindors time is coming. Maybe soon.
The top prospect in Clevelands organization,
Lindor got two hits and showed off his glove
Wednesday as the Indians beat the Cincinnati Reds
4-2 in a Cactus League exhibition.
The 21-year-old Lindor rose to Triple-A last year
and the smooth shortstop will likely begin the season in
the minors. However, it may not be long before hes in
Cleveland on a more permanent basis. Lindor singled
twice, made a leaping catch to take away a hit and
turned a slow roller in the infield grass into an easy out.
Not a bad spring debut for the polished and poised
Lindor, who certainly acts as if he belongs in the big
leagues.
I feel a lot more comfortable, relaxed, Lindor
said, comparing how he felt in camp a year ago.
Last year it was something I was trying to learn.
This year I am learning but last year I was trying to
get to know the guys who I didnt know. In a way,
I was trying to prove myself the first time in a bigleague camp. I know what I have to do and go out
there and continue working, continue to be the best
player and learn so that when I go to the big leagues I can
help the Indians win.

The Indians wont rush Lindor. Because of how well
starting shortstop Jose Ramirez played last season, the
club can afford to be patient with Lindor and all their
minor-leaguers.
Another Indians prospect, Carlos Moncrief, had
four hits and scored twice as Cleveland bounced back
after being thumped 10-0 by their southern Ohio
neighbors in the exhibition opener on Tuesday.
Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton homered leading
off the first against Clevelands Josh Tomlin, who is
competing with four others for the No. 5 starters job.
Cincinnati starter Anthony DeSclafani struck out
two in two innings as he tries to lock down a rotation
spot. The right-hander was acquired in December in
the trade that sent starter Matt Latos to Florida.
STARTING TIME
Reds: Manager Bryan Price was pleased with
DeSclafani, who showed good life on his fastball.
He was great, Price said. He attacked the zone.
Youre going to get hit down here, so you want someone who throws strikes. You can teach a guy to pitch
but you want them to have command.
Indians: Tomlin gave up two runs and was followed to the mound by LHP T.J. House, another of
the pitchers in the mix for final starters vacancy.
House pitched two perfect innings.
Musings
(Continued from page 6)
You also hope that whatever they choose
to do in their future endeavors whether it
be in the arena and on the fields of play or
simply in the classroom, which is what its all
about anyway they will grow and develop
and figure it out very well.
I always hope that sports in our little area
on the third rock from the sun we call home
has been pleasant and a real learning experience on their early-lifes journey and it will be
something they can carry with them the rest
of their lives.

AP Source: Peyton Manning returning for 18th NFL
season
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Hold that gold watch. Peyton
Manning is taking one more shot at the silver trophy.
Weeks of speculation about the 5-time MVPs future ended
Wednesday with word that hes returning for an 18th season in
the NFL and fourth in Denver.
A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated
Press that Manning will take a $4 million pay cut, from $19
million to $15 million, but that he can make it all back through
performance incentives. The person spoke on condition of
anonymity because there was no official announcement of the
deal.
Manning, who is still scheduled to make
$19 million in 2016 in the final season of
the 5-year contract he signed in 2012, will
take his physical and sign his revised contract today.
With Petersons status in question,
Vikings pay a visit
The Minnesota Vikings have made their
in-person pitch to Adrian Peterson, the latest step toward resolving the star running
backs unclear status.
Whether its keeping him or turning to a trade, the Vikings
will likely make up their minds soon about whether Peterson
will continue his NFL career in purple.
General manager Rick Spielman and head coach Mike
Zimmer spent about four hours Wednesday afternoon at
Petersons home north of Houston.
This was the first time theyve had with Peterson since
he was placed on paid leave in mid-September following his
indictment in a child abuse case involving his 4-year-old son
that was resolved with a plea bargain.
Peterson told ESPN in a recent interview hes uneasy about
returning to the organization, though hes still under contract
with a $12.75 million base salary for 2015.
The Vikings have plenty of space under the salary cap to
keep Peterson on his current contract.
Former player Nate Jackson calls for NFL to allow
marijuana
DENVER Former Broncos tight end Nate Jackson says
he believes the NFL will have no choice but to remove marijuana from its lists of banned substances in the near future.
Speaking at a marijuana business conference, Jackson
called on the league to allow medical marijuana as a means to
help players deal with the physical and psychological pain and
head injuries inherent to their profession.
Jackson said he avoided opiate painkillers as much as
he could during his 6-year career from 2003-08 but instead,
he self-medicated with marijuana so that he wouldnt retire
addicted to prescription drugs like so many of his contemporaries.
He said he believes most NFL players use marijuana
theyre only tested for street drugs once a year whereas random
tests for steroids are conducted year-round and that the
league knows this.
Cowboys re-sign slot receiver Cole Beasley on 4-year
deal
IRVING, Texas The Cowboys have re-signed restricted
free-agent Cole Beasley after the diminutive receiver emerged
as a threat in the slot last season for Tony Romo.
Beasley signed a 4-year contract Wednesday reportedly
worth about $14 million, with $7 million guaranteed. The 5-8
former SMU player had career highs with 420 yards and four
touchdowns in his third season in 2014.
The Cowboys also signed free-agent linebacker Keith
Rivers, a 7-year veteran who played for Buffalo last season.

back his teammates up when it got testy.
At the same time, he was a smooth lefty

an oak tree because he was a monster and just
as immobile.
By the way, Rodman was very good at
both when he wasnt proving other things
outside of the game that he is still battling
now.
Back to Mr. Mason.
He had a nice jumper and actually could
make a move or two to get to the basket; he
just wasnt asked to do it very often.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Mason.

at that point, it seems rude to go

DEAR SHEILA: You may

not be worried about your daughter using a hands-free phone, but
others have a different view. Read
on:
DEAR ABBY: Drivers on
cellphones -- even hands-free -are four times more likely to crash
and hurt themselves or someone
else within five minutes of making a call. Texters are 23 times
more likely to crash. More than
3,000 people are killed this way
each year and 300,000 to 500,000
are injured. The daughter should
not be using a phone at all while
driving.
How do I know the statistics?
My son was killed by a driver on
a cellphone. -- GARY IN KENOSHA, WIS.
DEAR GARY: Please accept
my condolences for the tragic loss
of your son. You are generous to
have written. Too often people
take the privilege of driving for
granted, forgetting that if they
dont concentrate fully on driving, they place themselves and
those around them in danger. I see
this happen often, and Im afraid
that unless the consequences are
draconian, it will continue.

Super(cool) Spies Kingsman makes

other spy flicks look old, slow and tame.
Starring Colin Firth, Taron Egerton,
Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Caine.
Kingman: The Secret Service

Directed by Matthew Vaughn
R
Move over, James Bondor get blown off

the road. Some new supercool spy guysand
galshave just laid claim to the multiplex,
and they make just about everything that came
before them look old, slow, tame and even
lazy.
Kingsman: The Secret Service, based on
a 2012 Marvel Comics-distributed series,
takes the spy game to wildly adventurous,
dizzily fun-tastic new heights of both homage
and spoofery. Colin Firth, the Oscar-winning
British actor best known for his roles in
dignified historical dramas (The Kings Speech;
A Single Man; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy)
makes his smashing action-lead debut as
Harry Hart, the top agent in this international
intelligence agency of high-ranking,
impeccably dressed, lethally trained gents
organized in the mid-1850s as a latter-day
Knights of the Round Table to preserve peace
and protect life.
Newcomer Taron Egerton is Eggsy
Unwin, the streetwise London lad whose fate
leads him into the ranks of the Kingsman
elite. And Samuel L. Jackson plays, well,
basically Samuel L. Jackson, as an evil, lisp-y
philanthropist billionaire whose altruistic
faade hides a super-sinister plan of global
domination.
Michael Caine is aboard as the Kingsmens
top dog; Mark Strong has a key role as
his senior officer; and Algerian-born dancer
Sofia Boutella makes a memorable impression
as the high-hopping villainess Gazelle, who
slices and dices foes to ribbons with her razorsharp prosthetic feet. Mark Luke Skywalker
Hamillof Stars Wars fameplays a college
professor appearance is a bit of an inside joke
that will delight readers of the comic book,
which featured a character with the actors
name.
The action is frenetic, super-stylized and
sometimes gleefully hyper-violent. During
fight scenes and other adrenaline-pumping
moments, director Matthew Vaughn (Snatch;
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) and
cinematographer George Richmond keep the
camera moving, zooming, sweeping, bobbing
and weaving, then speeding up and slowing
down the film to increase the visual intensity.
The fan-boy comic-book crowd will lap it
up, but mainstream audiences will find plenty
to like about Kingsman, tooits nonstop plot
is full of cheeky British humor, meta spymovie satire, and jabs at politics, government,
celebrities and everyones greed for the latest
with-it technology. But be warned: It definitely
earns its R ratingespecially in its final
moments, when it dives into a particularly
randy joke. It may be just to cap off its playful
naughtiness with a real zinger, or perhaps its
seeking something more profound, a profane
parody statement about how spy movies have
always debased their female characters.
Spy movies have also always been about
gadgets and secret-agent do-daddery, and here
Kingsman goes all-out: Bulletproof umbrellas,
exploding cigarette lighters, shiv-toed shoes,
holographic eyeglasses, lethal fountain pens,
electrocution signet rings. And the suits!
When it comes to fashion, the Kingsmen
are the coolest cats aroundand, in one of
the most extensive merchandise marketing
tie-ins of any movie ever, almost anything
you see onscreen (suits, ties, shoes and
yesumbrellas) can be purchased in special
Kingsman product lines.
See the movie, buy the suitand get me
one of those indestructible umbrellas!

Do just one thing

When wildlife rummages through your garbage, it can be more than just a nuisance -- wild
animals can choke, get trapped and die. To help
them, its key to make trash as unenticing as
possible and nearly impossible to get into. To
wildlife-proof your trash bins, start by minimizing the odors. That means rinsing non-recyclables and placing food scraps inside old plastic bags or containers that you plan to toss. You
can also use bungee cords: Wrap them around
trash cans to keep the lids on tight.

Defense
admits
eating too
protections for students
much sugar Tsarnaev bombed marathon
LONDON (AP) New
guidelines from the World
Health Organization are
enough to kill anyones sugar
high. The U.N. health agency
says the world is eating too
much sugar and people should
slash their intake to just six to
12 teaspoons per day an
amount that could be exceeded with a single can of soda.
So, put down that doughnut. And while youre at it,
skip the breakfast cereal, fruit
juice, beer and ketchup.
The guidelines, released
Wednesday, finalize draft
advice first released last year
and are focused on the added
sugars in processed food, as
well as those in honey, syrups
and fruit juices. The advice
does not apply to naturally
occurring sugars in fruit, vegetables and milk, since those
come with essential nutrients.
We have solid evidence that
keeping intake of (added) sugars to less than 10 percent of
total energy intake reduces the
risk of overweight, obesity and
tooth decay, Francesco Branca,
director of WHOs nutrition
department, said in a statement.
Experts have long railed
about the dangers of sugar
and studies suggest that people who eat large amounts of
the sweet stuff are at higher risk of dying prematurely
from heart problems, diabetes
and cancer, among other conditions.
To meet the lower threshold set by the new guidelines,
Americans, Europeans and
others in the West would have
to slash their average sugar
intake by about two-thirds.
BOSTON (AP) The question, for

all practical purposes, is no longer whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev took part in the
Boston Marathon bombing. Its whether
he deserves to die for it.
In a blunt opening statement at the
nations biggest terrorism trial in nearly 20
years, Tsarnaevs own lawyer flatly told a
jury that the 21-year-old former college
student committed the crime.
It WAS him, said defense attorney
Judy Clarke, one of the nations foremost
death-penalty specialists.
But in a strategy aimed at saving
Tsarnaev from a death sentence, she
argued that he had fallen under the malevolent influence of his now-dead older
brother, Tamerlan.
The evidence will not establish and
we will not argue that Tamerlan put a gun
to Dzhokhars head or that he forced him
to join in the plan, Clarke said, but you
will hear evidence about the kind of influence that this older brother had.
Three people were killed and more
than 260 hurt when two shrapnel-packed
pressure-cooker bombs exploded near the
finish line on April 15, 2013. Tsarnaev,
then 19, was accused of carrying out the
attacks with 26-year-old Tamerlan, who
was killed in a shootout and getaway
attempt days later.
Authorities contend the brothers
ethnic Chechens who arrived from Russia
more than a decade ago were driven
by anger over U.S. wars in Muslim lands.
Federal prosecutors used their opening statements, along with heartbreaking
testimony and grisly video, to sketch a
picture of torn-off limbs, ghastly screams,
pools of blood, and the smell of sulfur and
burned hair in the streets of Boston. They
painted Tsarnaev as a cold-blooded killer.
Tsarnaev planted a bomb designed to
tear people apart and create a bloody
spectacle, then hung out with his college
buddies as if he didnt have a care in the

world, prosecutor William Weinreb said.
He believed that he was a soldier in
a holy war against Americans, Weinreb
said. He also believed that by winning
that victory, he had taken a step toward
reaching paradise.
Among the first witnesses for the prosecution were two women who lost legs in
the attack, including Rebekah Gregory,
who walked slowly to the stand on an
artificial limb.
I remember being thrown back, hoisted into the air, said Gregory, who had
gone to watch the race with her 5-year-old
son, Noah. My first instinct as a mother
was, where in the world was my baby,
where was my son?
She said she looked down at her leg:
My bones were literally laying next to
me on the sidewalk and blood was everywhere. She saw other peoples body parts
all around her, and at that point, I thought
that was the day I would die.
I could hear Noah, I dont know how,
but I could hear my little boy. She said he
was saying, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,
over and over again.
I said a prayer. I said, God, if this is
it, take me, but let me know that Noah is
OK.
She said someone finally picked up
her son and put him down beside her.
Breaking down in tears, she testified that
as she looked for the boy, she saw a
woman dead on the pavement.
Karen Rand McWatters, whose left
leg had to be amputated, described how
she watched her close friend Krystle
Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager, die on the pavement next to her.
She very slowly said that her legs hurt,
and we held hands, and shortly after that,
her hand went limp in mine and she never
spoke again after that, she said, choking
back tears.
Economic

What this means is that people are becoming much
more aware of Van Wert, Ohio, and the assets that we
have, with not only our megasite, but also the industrial parks, and the growth that some of our existing
businesses are undertaking, Leis stated. Small towns
are beginning to get noticed because of their existing
businesses that are investing and the industrial properties
that are now available through certification programs.
Those are the top things that get communities like Van
Wert recognized.
This recognition for Northwest Ohio is a testament to
the strength of our regional assets and the outstanding collaboration among economic development partners to ensure
the continued growth of our region, said Regional Growth
Partnership President Dean Monske said.
There was good news for the entire state in the new issue of
Site Selection. As reported at timesbulletin.com on Tuesday,
the state earned the number two position overall and number
two in per capita rankings in the magazine. The state with
the most new and expanded corporate facilities earning the

Governors Cup went to Ohio for the second consecutive year.
JobsOhio President and Chief Investment Officer John
Minor noted, Our consistent high ranking shows that more
job creators are learning what we have known all along Ohio
is a premier place to live, work and do business.
Leis called the recognition good news for the entire area,
including Findlays top spot among all American micropolitans.
That is great recognition for northwest Ohio, she
remarked.
Van Wert Mayor Don Farmer also expressed his pleasure
about the good news. Im very pleased with our ranking, and
I look forward to our moving up even higher, he stated.
The certification of the Van Wert Super Site as a megasite
is expected to be wrapped up later this week, when the certification letter arrives in Van Wert.
City officials have been invited to an awards ceremony on
March 19 in Findlay in honor of the accomplishments earned
by communities in northwest Ohio.
Seats

Fair General Manager David Grimm
explained what prompted the move.
The initial inventory of track seats
sold out quickly and we are still getting
a huge amount of requests for them. We
decided to add sight-restricted seats on
both the north and south sides of present
track seating. The new sections are designated TA and TH, he said. We call
them sight-restricted because a couple
of utility poles could be in line of sight
of the stage. These are still great seats
with great views.
These new seats go on sale at 9 a.m.
Friday.
All track tickets are priced at $55
each. Other seating includes the Party Pit

at $65 each and grandstand and bleachers
at $45 each. Tickets can be purchased at
AllenCoFair.com, by phone at 419-2287141 or in person at the Fairgrounds
Administration Building, 2750 Harding
Hwy, Lima. Hours for in-person or telephone purchases are 9 a.m to 4:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday.
Rakay
Ive been excited about Delphos residents volunteerism,
community-driven spirit and willingness to chip in and help,
he said. Carol (Higbea), the church secretary, has been
invaluable to me helping me get acclimated and showing me
the ropes.
Prior to is appointment in Delphos, Rakay served the
Gomer Congressional Church as interim pastor for six months,
pastor at Benton Ridge for two years and pastor of Cairo
United Methodist Church for nine years.
I attended Ashland Theological Seminary from 2003-2006
and served the Cairo church two days a week, he said.
While volunteering as a Teens For Christ Chapter Leader
at the United Methodist Church in Lima in 2002, Rakay felt

the first call to ministry. After working as a branch manager
for PR Sussman Company, a trade sub-contracting business,
Rakay acquired a Business Administration degree from the
Mount Vernon Nazarene Branch in 2003.
After graduating high school in 1994 and attending
Bowling Green State University, I joined the Marine Corp
(1994-1998) and became a crew chief for CH53 helicopters,
Rakay added. I pursued an education in engineering and did
that on the civilian side.
Rakay was born and raised in Port Clinton, Ohio, and spent
a lot of his childhood at Camp Perry swimming with his siblings: two brothers and two sisters. Rakay lives in the church
parsonage and has two children.

75 Years Ago 1940
An outstanding program was the production of Under the Stars and Stripes
rendered by the Senior and Junior choirs
of the Methodist Church Monday night
at Jefferson auditorium by a cast of
COLUMBUS (AP) State senators unanimously passed

a measure Wednesday aimed at protecting Ohio students from
unintended consequences of new proficiency tests being rolled
out this school year.
The bill would bar schools from using results from the
increasingly criticized tests to determine a students advancement to the next grade level or in course credit decisions. An
exception is made for English language arts tests used in meeting Ohios third-grade reading guarantee.
Schools also could not release scores to outside sources
without parental consent under the bill.
The measure comes as a growing number of parents are
letting kids skip the mandated assessments amid complaints
that new testing linked to the Common Core standards is too
time-consuming and that the preparation distracts from deeper
learning.
The House passed an earlier version of the bill and must
agree to the Senates changes before the measure could go to
the governor.
Senators announced Wednesday they would create an advisory committee on testing, comprised of various educational
experts from across the state, to make recommendations to the
Senate on state-required assessments.
We hear the anxiety and confusion the new state tests have
created for students, their families and teachers, Sen. Peggy
Lehner, chairwoman of the Senate Education Committee, said
in a statement.
Senators amended the bill to ensure that schools do not lose
state aid for students not taking standardized tests this school
year.
Thats in line with what the states superintendent told districts in a letter on Tuesday.
By law, the Ohio Department of Education is supposed to
withhold funding for students who dont take the tests, but the
superintendent is allowed to issue a waiver so schools can get
the money. Superintendent Richard Ross has indicated that is
what he will do.
Still, he stressed to districts the importance of testing.
I hope you will explain this critical relationship between
testing and teaching to the parents of your communities and
encourage them, as much as you are able, to allow their students to take Ohios New State Tests, Ross wrote.

traced back to her familys
New York home.
The subpoenas from
the Republican-led Select
Committee on Benghazi
demanded additional material
from Clinton and others related to Libya, spokesman Jamal
D. Ware said. The panel also
instructed technology companies it did not identify to preserve any relevant documents
in their possession.
The development on
Capitol Hill came the same
day The Associated Press
reported the existence of a
personal email server traced
back to the Chappaqua, New
York, home of Clinton. The
unusual practice of a Cabinetlevel official running her own
email server would have given
Clinton who is expected to
run for president in the 2016
campaign significant control over limiting access to
her message archives.
The practice also would
complicate
the
State
Departments legal responsibilities in finding and
turning over official emails
in response to any investigations, lawsuits or public
records requests. The department would be in the position
of accepting Clintons assur-
ances she was surrendering

everything required that was
in her control.
Congress said it learned
last summer about Clintons
use of a private email
account to conduct official
State Department business
during its investigation of
the Benghazi attacks on a
U.S. mission in which four
Americans died.
It doesnt matter if the
server was in Foggy Bottom,
Chappaqua or Bora Bora,
House Speaker John Boehner
said. The Benghazi Select
Committee needs to see all
of these emails, because the
American people deserve all
of the facts.
The chairman of the
Benghazi committee, Rep.
Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., told
reporters: I want the documents. Sooner rather than
later.
Democrats called it a fishing expedition.
Everything Ive seen so
far has led me to believe that
this is an effort to go after
Hillary Clinton, period, said
Rep. Elijah Cummings of
Maryland, the top Democrat
on the committee.
The questions about
Clintons email practices left
the Obama administration in
an awkward position. At one
point, the State Department
directed reporters to contact
Clinton, who has not publicly
commented about her emails.
The White House said it was
her responsibility to make
sure any emails about official
business werent deleted from
her private server.
