Delphos native Michael Betz has returned with My Town,LLC, to start a farmers market and more in downtownDelphos.

Delphos nativereturns withMy Town, LLC

BY MIKE [email protected]

DELPHOS Saturdaymornings will soon becomemore active in AmericasFriendliest City when a farm-ers market opens downtown.Organizers plan for the mar-ket to also include a rangeof eclectic goods, dependingon those who choose to par-ticipate. Michael Betz is partof My Town, LLC, and heanticipates the market beingan opportunity for area crafts-men to develop their smallbusinesses.

Its a great way to engagepeople and is successful inother cities close around us. Ifyou go to Van Wert, Bluffton,Lima they all have success-ful farmers markets that helpadd an enriched experience,he said. Many people likebakers and craftsmen havebeen told this would makea really great business. Well,this could be a really good

portal for them to sell theirspecialty items. So, peoplecan come buy produce forthe week and also be exposedto other things ranging frompeople from the local art guildselling their art to someonewho makes salsa.

This will set the local fairaway from other farmersmarkets.

My Town is not just afarmers market. Were doingseveral initiatives within

the city to add community-engaged activities for the citythat will hopefully draw peo-ple from outside of Delphos;the smaller communities suchas Ottoville, Fort Jennings,Spencerville, Middle Pointand it will be a good portal tohelp downtown out by bring-ing more foot traffic in for thebusinesses that are open dur-ing that time, he said.

Betz has lived in otherregions of the country and isconfident it will work here.

Ive lived in cities smalland large where these endeav-ors work and would be practi-cal, especially for a loyal townlike Delphos. These initiativesare not to step on anyonestoes in the community. Its justto make a community vibrantso people see more activities,return to visit Delphos and tocreate activities for young andold and in between to partakeand enjoy.

We start June 2 and it willbe at the corner of Main and

Third streets from 7:30 a.m.to 12:30 p.m. every Saturdayuntil Nov. 2. Well feature dif-ferent vendors, ranging fromproduce to special noveltyitems to being an avenue forsmall businesses to grow theirbusinesses and sell specialtyitems, he concluded.

Anyone interested in beinga vendor can find more infor-mation at mytowndelphoso-hio.com or facebook.com/mytowndelphosohio.

The end of another school year is upon us.Classes have been taking field trips and enjoy-ing the spoils of a year of hard work. Then,there are finals. Time to prove you were payingattention.

Anxious seniors are ready to don their capsand gowns and make that last walk before thenext phase of their lives begin. I dont know

about anyone else but I took a quick peek at mydiploma to make sure it was signed. I wasntworried, I just wanted to make sure.

For those who have loved high school, itmay be bittersweet. Theyve thrown themselvesinto activities and athletics and made the mostof the time they spent there. Friends will begoing different directions.

For those who would prefer to stay becausetheyre not sure about their next step, hitch upthose britches. Its time to move one. Everythinghas an order and youre only supposed to dohigh school for four years. Then you have to dosomething else. Sorry.

For those who found high school a little lessthan they thought it should be, trust me, there islife after. Its just something we all have to doso we can transition to the next level, whicheverthat may be. I think youll find there is a lot

more ahead of you than youve left behind.For those who cant wait to get out and get

as far away from here as possible, I completelyunderstand. I felt the same way. I move 240miles away so no one would know me or mybusiness and guess what no one knew me or

my business and therefore, no one cared. Itswasnt as good as it sounded.

If you noticed, Im somewhat contradictory.Thats the problem. Life is contradictory. Wethink we know everything about everything andin reality, we know jack. Thats why you need topay attention in high school. Get all the ammu-nition you can to face the world when its overno matter what path you choose.

That diploma you will receive means some-thing. Its a symbol of a right of passage.Youve accomplished something. If it cameeasy, great. If you had to work your butt off forit, the accomplishment means more. Be proudregardless.

You are about to embark on an adventure.It will be what you make it. It doesnt matter if

you are going to college, going to work or goinginto the service, you control your destiny.

So if youre super excited to start the nextpart of your life, scared to death or just relievedto have it over let the mortar boards fly. In theend, all that matters is that you made through.

STATE/LOCAL


BRIEFS

He woke up early thismorning because of theanticipation of getting readyfor work. His first task is tocheck his reflection in themirror to make sure that heis clean shaven and has ashirt and tie on. He neverknew when someone wouldbe checking him over makingsure he looked professional.There was a certain level ofexpectation his supervisorwould have on how well hewas prepared for work. Alldressed he takes one morelook in the mirror and he likeswhat he sees. He checks hiswallet to make sure he hadhis ID, his pass for his trans-portation, and enough moneyto last him for several days.Now it is time to get his gripand get it packed. He hadhis clothes and his coverallsneatly folded from the nightbefore. Then he checks tomake sure he has a copy ofhis orders and schedule. Nexthe inspected his gun to insurethat it was clean and empty.He had a pad of facing slipsthat had been stamped thenight before with his daterand his trip number and hisinitials to use on his firsttrips. In his grip he finds the

latest changes to the sched-ule to refresh his memoryduring the hours it takes toget to work. He also wouldremember to review the boardat the station. He added a setof practice cards to his gripbecause his annual examina-tion was coming up and heneeded to get a 98 percenton the test just so he couldkeep his job. There were twotests. He had already passedthe first exam, which wasa group of questions aboutall the characteristics and theoperation of running a train.He passed with a perfectscore. But he knew all those

questions inside and out. Hereally wasnt surprised.

Now it was time to go.His wife and two young chil-dren all got in the car todrive Daddy to work. Thekids were sad because theyknew it would be a long weekbefore they saw their Dadagain. They really didnt haveenough time with him thisweek because he was study-ing every chance he got. Theywere familiar with the routine a small suitcase wouldsit open on the kitchen tablewith all these little cubby-holes and dividers in them.Dad would sit there for hoursputting little cards in the holes over and over he wouldthrow his scheme. The kidsthought some of the names onthe cards were really funny...names like Blakelys Corner,Wolfcale and Dixon. Whenhe was done throwing all thecards, he would check eachone by first looking at theback of the card to see if hehad gotten the card in theright cubbyhole. It sure didntseem like a fun game to thekids.

At the railroad station,railway post office clerk DonHigh Pockets Fair kissed hiswife and children goodbye. Itwould be six more days of

hard work ahead before hewould sleep at home and beable to play with his kids.The Penn Central train goingeast was his first trip. Here hecaught the train to Pittsburghto work the mail train knownas the Pitts-chic...back andforth from Pittsburgh toChicago. Don was proudof the work he did keepingthe true purpose of the PostOffice Department in mind.That purpose was outlined inthe original Constitution ofthe United States of America.Postal workers everywherewere charged with the ulti-mate task of Binding our

Nation Together. In thosedays, there was no internet,

email, or cell phones. Theyhad party lines for the tele-phones and long distancecalls were difficult to makeand very expensive. The100-year-old telegraph wasstill the fastest form of com-munication and for that youwere charged by the numberof words.

Don met up with hiscrew at the Union Stationin Pittsburgh. This was hisfamily at work and they allknew each other real well.They needed to not only toget the work done but to getthrough the long and gruel-ling days and nights in onerailcar. When there was workto be done no one ate untilthey all ate and no one sleptuntil they all slept.

Don knew this when he firsttook the job. He had seen thetraining films and had workedalong side a mentor that hadshowed him the ropes. Thething that impressed Don themost was the way each of thepeople working on the traintreated each other. There wasno distinction for Black orWhite. These were all menand no one was allowed tofail at getting the job done they helped each other out.

The number of things thateach one had to know wasstaggering.

At the end of the line wasthe Palmer House just a fewblocks from the train sta-tion in Chicago. Now it wastime to get a meal, crawlinto a comfortable bed andget some much needed rest.Tomorrow was another hardday.

CINCINNATI The2010 opponents in OhiosU.S. Senate race had a cor-dial reunion Friday, with thedefeated Democrat pointingto winner Rob Portmans fre-quent mentions now as a pos-sible Republican presidentialrunning mate.

Former Ohio Lt. Gov. LeeFisher heads CEOs for Cities, agroup of business, political andcivic leaders working togetheron urban issues, and he invit-ed Portman to be the closingspeaker Friday for a Cincinnaticonference that drew nearly300 people. He spoke glow-ingly of Portmans credentialsfor a national ticket thesenator is often listed amongthe potential choices for pre-sumptive GOP nominee MittRomney.

Fisher, who lost in a land-slide in 2010, said Portmanran against him as a con-servative with common senseideas. While he still differs

on issues, Fisher said: Ivealways liked him and alwaysrespected him.

Portman continued to playdown the running mate specu-lation, and suggested to report-ers that he doesnt think thevice presidential candidatemakes much of a difference inelection victories.

I dont think people votefor vice president, they vote forpresident, Portman said.

Asked about descriptions ofhim in vice president specula-tion as boring, he smiled andreplied that he thinks that mightbe a description for someone inWashington who is not outthere throwing partisan jabs. ...

I like to work across the aisleand get things done.Portman has repeatedly said

he feels he is in the right place,as senator, to play a legisla-tive role in seeking economicimprovements.

I think our economy is intough shape, Portman told thegroup. I think its weaker eventhan the numbers indicate.

He also urged group mem-bers to support legislativeefforts to fight drug abuse, helpfreed convicts stay away fromcrime, and to improve energyefficiency.

As a conservative, I amfor conserving, and for effi-ciency, he said.

COLUMBUS The OhioParole Board recommend-ed Friday that the governordeny clemency for a man sen-tenced to death for killing hisestranged wife and brother-in-law in a basement room at acourthouse in 1992.

Abdul Awkal is slated to beput to death June 6 in one of11 executions scheduled overthe next two years.

Awkals lawyer argued the53-year-old man suffers fromsevere mental health prob-lems and should be spared,but the state said Awkal care-fully planned the killings andshould be executed.

The parole board voted 8-1against recommending mercy,with most members conclud-ing that Awkal planned theshooting and that it wasnt theresult of a psychotic break-down.

While he had assertedremorse, he clearly blamesthe victims for allegedly cre-ating the circumstances thatforced him to kill them, theboard said. Its decision goesto Gov. John Kasich, who has

the final say on whether togrant clemency.

This defiant killer execut-ed his 22-year-old wife and24-year-old brother-in-lawsimply because his wife wasseeking a divorce, CuyahogaCounty Prosecutor Bill Masonsaid in a statement Friday.Awkal shook the founda-tions of the justice system bycommitting these heinous actsin the County Courthouse, aplace where citizens should beassured safety.

A message seeking com-ment was left for Awkalsattorney.

Awkal was sentenced todeath for killing his estrangedwife, Latife Awkal, and broth-er-in-law Mahmoud Abdul-Aziz, in January 1992 in aroom where the Awkals wereto take up divorce and custodyissues.

Their 1989 marriage,arranged by Awkals fam-ily, had dissolved as LatifeAwkal and her brothers feltthat Awkal was not a goodMuslim, according to thereport. The Awkals divorcedand then remarried underIslamic law in 1991, butAwkals wife moved out andfiled for a legal divorce dayslater after discovering she had

contracted a sexually trans-mitted disease from him.

WASHINGTON What adifference four years make.

When Barack Obama wasrunning for president, he suc-cessfully managed to distancehimself from the Rev. Jeremiah

Wright, leaving his Chicagochurch during the campaign andshrugging off suggestions thatthe preachers fiery rhetoric hadany effect on him over the 20years of their close friendship.

How close? Wright inspiredthe title of Obamas book TheAudacity of Hope. He con-ducted the Obamas weddingceremony and baptized theObama girls. He led the fam-ily in prayer on the day Obamaannounced his candidacy forpresident.

Four years later, the meremention of Wright by politicalopponents is considered racist.

Just ask Republican politicalstrategist Fred Davis. Or his

once-potential client, billionaireJoe Ricketts. Davis prepared aproposal for an ad campaignfor Ricketts consideration titledThe Defeat of Barack HusseinObama: The Ricketts Plan toEnd His Spending for Good and all hell broke loose.

The proposal, which high-lights the Obama-Wright rela-tionship and resembles an adrejected the last go-round by theMcCain campaign, has madetsunami waves thanks to a storyon The New York Times frontpage. Who leaked the 54-page

proposal may be the most inter-esting aspect of this story, butwe may die without knowing.Or we can watch closely thecareer paths of various actors inthe next several months.

The intent of the ads was toshine a light on how Obamascharacter was formed and whyhe should not be re-elected. Theywere not a good idea, obviously,but they also were never ads.They were a proposal born of asense among Republicans thatObamas relationship to Wrightwas never sufficiently vetted.

The question of Obamascharacter pertains to his denialof the degree of that relation-ship, not that he found a fatherfigure in Wright when he wasstill in his 20s. Nevertheless,to question Obamas characterbased on his association withWright at this point seems toomuch too late.

Obama has a record as presi-dent and can be challenged onthat record. Raising Wrightnow would have been a seriousmiscalculation and would havebeen interpreted as attempting

to inspire racial animus. But itis unfair to smear Davis as aracist, as some have suggested.He obviously created a propos-al based on his sense that thiswould appeal to Ricketts, who

said upon viewing the rejectedMcCain ad: If the nation hadseen that ad, theyd never haveelected Barack Obama.

Davis, whose creativity iswidely acknowledged, wasobviously aware of the pos-sible racial sensitivity, whichis why he also hoped to includeprominent African-Americans,such as radio host Larry Elder,questioning Obamas character.Whites cannot do this withoutsuffering the consequences nowin play.

From a strategists perspec-tive, Wright is nearly irresist-ible. Colorful and outrageous,his views are the stuff of politi-cal operatives dreams. As

he confirmed for an audienceat the National Press Club in2008, Wright believes, amongmany other headline writersdelights, that the governmentcreated AIDS as a means ofgenocide, that U.S. Marines arelike Roman Legionnaires, andthat the terrorist attacks of 9/11were merely chickens cominghome to roost.

If youre a Fred Davis,ignoring such statements andthe influential relationship ofits speaker to the presidentof the United States would

be like ignoring unemployedAmericans who long ago losttheir jobs when Bain Capitalrode into town.

The leaking of the docu-ment and the prominent display

of the story have been a boonto Obama. They provided yetanother welcome distraction, aswell as a helpful fundraisingtool, and smeared Romney byassociation.

The power (and hubris) ofindividual political donors andtheir offspring the ads theywant to sire may become thetragedy of this election season.Romney is nothing like a rac-ist, yet suddenly he is forced todistance himself from ads aboutwhich he knew nothing. Andwe now can agree that resur-recting Wright for any purposewould do more political harmthan good.

Ricketts apparently would

agree. He has distanced himselffrom the proposal faster thanObama distanced himself fromWright. And poor Mitt Romneyhad to repudiate an ad campaignthat never was, that probablynever would have been, andover which he had zero control.

And thus ends another fauxcontroversy about non-ads inthe very strange universe knownas American Politics.

Granger, Carl Kundert and Meletus Scharf.

Since the work on the beau-tiful and substantial structure,the Jefferson School is near-ing the end and will, after all,lie incomplete, a resume ofits history, and the reasonsfor not finishing it, will proveinteresting to the people.

The Herald has obtainedsome facts and figures fromthe Secretary of the Board.

When it was first deter-mined that a more modern,beautiful and sanitary schoolwas urgently needed, manyrepresentative citizens wereconsulted before determiningthe amount of money to beasked for.

One hundred thousanddollars was voted for this pur-pose, and it is a matter of his-tory that in order to have onegood school, the board must

erect two.The members of the boardexpended their own money andmuch valuable time, visitingschools in various parts of thecountry. After a great deal ofthought, and many estimates,a certain plan was adaptedwhich would give Delphosa school second to none inappointments, and at the sametime devoid of expensive frills.Everything was planned for thecomfort and health of the chil-dren, and it was to be erectedfor the years to come, to takecare of the youth of a growingDelphos.

It was planned to drawfrom the outlying districts

and from other towns as wellas Boxwell graduates, andpupils, thus adding a sourceof revenue which could notbe solicited under existingconditions. The Board verywisely decided that it wouldbe folly to build for presentneeds alone, for this wouldmean the necessity of addi-tions to the building in thenear future, and would marits beauty, as well as addinggreatly to the cost. The Boardwas obliged to build theLincoln School first. (Moreon this later. R.H.)

Next the Board took upthe matter of wrecking theold Jefferson School, andreceived over $500 more outof the sale of materials thanthe highest bid. At this timethe plans for the high schoolare complete, and fromnumerous supposedly expertsources came the informa-tion that this school could beerected with the money lefton hand. Bids were thereforecalled for and when the fig-ures were all in, the Boardrealized that a serious prob-lem confronted them. To waitfor a new set of plans, havethem meet the stringent rulesof the state inspectors officeand thereby lost much valu-able time, besides the addi-

tional expense of new plansand advertising and in the endhave a building unsuited foreven present needs, seemedalmost out of the question.

After much deliberation,revision of figures and omis-sions, in the various contracts,it was made possible to letthe contract for the workwithin and slightly under

the amount of money stillon hand. With these changes,part of the building at leastcould be made habitable, andagreements were drawn upaccordingly. Depending on aslightly increased tax levy fora year or two, it was deter-mined that practically all thethings left out of this time,could be added and the build-ing be made complete whenconstruction had reached thatpoint. Then came the Smith1 per cent tax law and its

restrictions, and with it themost bitter disappointment.The auditorium, so much

needed in Delphos, mustremain a rough looking void.The glass conservatory, thegymnasium, the domesticscience and manual train-ing departments, a numberof class rooms, the chemicallab, the swimming pool andnumerous other things whichmake it a pleasure instead ofa drag for children to go toschool, must remain an eye-sore perhaps for years.

The contracts for theJefferson School were let:

General contract, first bid$75,981.00, Deductions and

omissions $6,240.00Contract let for -

$67,787.50Heating contract, first bid,

$18,546.00, Deductions andomissions $4,720.30

Contract let for$11,815.00

Plumbing contract, firstbid $4,087.00, Deductionsand omissions $2,000.

Contract let for $2,087.00Wiring contract, first bid

$1,125.00, Deductions andomissions $284.00

Contract let for $941.00The total contract obliga-

tions at the time of lettingamounted to $82,581.20. The$31,000 left after the LincolnSchool was completed, withthe other funds on hand,allowed the Board to legallygo ahead with the work inhand and anticipate relief inthe end from increased taxrevenue.

When the excavating waswell under way, the extrasbegan to appear. It was foundthat under the entire proposedsouth wall, was a rotten woodsewer. In order to be safe, itwas determined to build thefooting 12 inches deeper allaround. This cost $600 extrato start with. Then came otherextras which you who haveerected any kind of building

are familiar with. The stateinspectors order must be com-plied with, extra sewers mustbe laid, a cistern installed,fire doors put on, drainingand ventilating the chemicallaboratory was imperative ata cost of $404. Fixtures in theBanking room, laboratories,etc., added $1,050.

Mixing dampers and other

heating work must go in theunfinished rooms at once ornecessitate tearing down laterand building up again. Oneafter another came the urgentpleas of contractors and archi-tects and many were the meet-ings of the Board to inquirewhy this and that had beenleft out of the original plans.The extras were somethingfierce, and the only consola-tion for the Board was the factthat this same condition existsin building everywhere.

Add to these unlooked-forextras, the original deduc-tions of $13,282.80, and onecan at least approximate whatamount of money is need-ed to finish the building asoriginally intended. Then theequipment is another matter.The latter, however, could be

added from time to time asneeded, and does not causethe Board so much concern.

To offset the gloom occa-sioned by these figures, theSchool Board and the publicneed but visit and examinethe new temple of learning.The building is there, strong,durable and a monument toprogressive Delphos.

The Board is proud of thenew school, and justly so.And they feel keenly theirinability to complete it withthe means on hand. It wouldbe a shame to leave it thus with only one floor com-pletely finished.

As can be seen it will require

more than $15,000 to completethe building according to theoriginal plans and at the sametime take care of numerousextras. To further equip thebuilding with interior fixturesand furnishings will run thetotal to about $20,000.

Taking into considerationthe close proximity to thenew Public Library, the edu-cational facilities of Delphoswould be second to none andone of the greatest assets andadvertisements the city hasever had.

If the building is complet-ed now, it will save about$2,000, and since it will notbe possible to use the schoolthis term, it would be properto finish it at once, if pos-sible.

Let us think it over andsee if we can afford to leavethe school unfinished for onecigar or a package of gum ona hundred dollars worth ofour property once a year, forten years. If you are fortunateenough to have property val-ued at $1,000, it will cost you50 cents a year for ten years.

The white coat of plas-tering is now being placedon the walls in the basement.These will not be tinted. Thewoodwork is about all com-pleted and when the plaster-ing white coat in the base-ment is finished, there willbe little work left save thevarnishing of the woodwork,placing of the electric lightsin the basement, the hangingof some of the blackboards,etc. The concrete floors in thebasement were completed lastweek. Practically all that willbe left to do after this weekwill be the finishing touches.

OHIO DEPARTMENT OFNATURAL RESOURCES

Fish OhioCENTRAL OHIOHoover Reservoir (Delaware/

Franklin counties) - White bass are thehot fish right now; try small spinnersand jigs in Big Walnut Creek, north ofthe reservoir and at the duck pondin the southwest corner by the dam.Crappies are also active; they can becaught in 2-4 feet of water on jigstipped with minnows or twister tails.This is an excellent lake to catch lar-gemouth bass. May is the time to fishshoreline cover with tube baits, jig &pig and jerkbaits; look for spawningbluegill on beds in the backs of coves.There is a 10-HP motor limit at thisreservoir.

Indian Lake (Logan County)- Saugeyes are aggressive on wind-swept points and channel openingswith current at this 5,040-acre lake; trycasting or trolling small rattletraps andsuspending crankbaits. Largemouthbass fishing is popular along the riprap

areas, docks and islands; for bass inshallow, water try creature baits andtubes. Crappie and white bass fish-ing can both be good during May;minnows are the most popular choicefor live bait. Channel catfish fishingshould be picking up as the waterwarms.

NORTHWEST OHIOSandusky Bay (Erie/Sandusky

counties) - As the water temperaturewarms, channel catfish should beginbiting in the bay; try fishing the bot-tom with worms and shrimp. Two pub-lic fishing areas include the DivisionsWillow Point Wildlife Area and theSandusky Bay Bridge Fishing Access.

Ferguson Reservoir (Allen County)- Crappies should still be biting at the305-acre site; try the north bank nearthe boat ramp and the east bank with

jigs and slip-bobbers with minnowsand wax worms. Located on ReservoirRoad on the east side of Lima, depthsrange from 3-33 feet. Boats are per-

mitted and there is a primitive boatramp available; no gasoline enginesare allowed. Check out the Divisionswebpage for a map andfishing forecast based onlast years samplings.

Maumee River(Lucas/Wood counties) -Depending on the springrains, white bass fishingshould be excellent thistime of year from GrandRapids down to the cityof Maumee; try minnowsunder slip-bobbers set at4-6 feet. Jigs can also becasted. In Grand Rapids,focus on deeper holes near the damarea. Crappie should also be bitingin the area; try next to structure inTurkeyfoot Creek and the canal areas.In Maumee, try fishing the Side Cutand Buttonwood Metro Parks areas.

NORTHEAST OHIOAtwood Lake (Tuscarawas/Carroll

counties) - As with many lakes acrossNortheast Ohio, crappie continue tobite well; fish near shore, targeting6-foot depths with beetle spins or min-nows 3 feet below a bobber to catchthese tasty panfish. Anglers shouldnote that a 9-inch minimum size limitis in effect for crappie here, with a30-fish daily bag limit. Catfish havealso been biting well, taking worms,creek chubs and cut bait fished on thebottom. The saugeye havent turned onyet, although a few anglers have donewell drifting jigs or trolling crankbaits.Bass fishing has been weather-depen-dant, with anglers periodically takinggood numbers with senko-style stickbaits, jigs and spinnerbaits.

Lake Milton (Mahoning County) -The crappie bite remains strong here.Anglers fishing overpasses have beencatching good numbers in 10 feet ofwater or less, fishing minnows underslip-bobber rigs. Periods of lowerlight associated with cloud cover andchoppy water have also produced goodwalleye action; anglers have beentargeting moderate depths with jigand crawler combinations, or trollingcrankbaits. Catfish have been bitingat the upstream end of the reservoir,especially for channel catfish, fishinglive bait and shrimp, while anglersdownstream have been catching num-bers of white bass near shore by thedam using minnows under bobbers.SOUTHEAST OHIO

Lake Snowden (Athens County) -Anglers should have success catchingbass using jig n pig and spinner baits.Redear sunfish and bluegill are spawn-ing and can be caught in shallow waterless than 3 feet deep; use wax and mealworms and nightcrawlers fished undera bobber for both species over sub-merged brush and along weed beds.

Wills Creek Reservoir (CoshoctonCounty) - The tailwater area below the

dam provides some of the best fishinghere. Saugeye concentrate just below

the dam during high-volume waterreleases; try casting jigs and twistertails tipped with a minnow. Flatheadcatfish anywhere from 12-30 poundscan be reeled in below the dam andin the tailwaters in the late afternoonand evening; try nightcrawlers andchicken livers.

SOUTHWEST OHIOCowan Lake (Clinton County)

- Crappie, between 9-14 inches, arebeing caught around brush piles withslip-bobber and minnows 12-18 inchesdeep within 20 feet off the bank.

Acton Lake (Preble County) -Crappie and saugeye are being caught;fish fallen timber on both shore lines.Try minnows or chartreuse and whitefor saugeye; the crappie are beingtaken on minnows under a float atabout 12-20 inches deep.

OHIO RIVERBellville Pool Area - Shore anglers

have been pulling in decent catches ofcatfish, drum and hybrid-striped bass

on nightcrawlers and chicken liversoff the bottom. Both shore and boatanglers have had success using crank-baits and spinners to catch black bass.

Willow Island Tailwater Area -There are plenty of fish to be caughtright now on jigs and twister tails or

jigs and minnows; white, pearl, char-treuse, orange or yellow are alwayspopular colors among successfulanglers. Hybrids and smallmouth basshave been caught using a variety oflive bait, crankbaits and jigs. Anglerslooking for catfish should try cut baitor chicken livers fished on the bot-tom.

Riverbend to downtown area(Hamilton County) - Water levels areslightly high but anglers report chan-nel cats off gravel humps in about 20feet of water near channel drop-offs;fish depths from 15-30 feet and try cutskipjack and shad.

LAKE ERIERegulations to Remember:

* The daily bag limit for walleyeon Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fishper angler. The minimum size limit

for walleye is 15inches.

* The daily baglimit for yellowperch is 30 fish perangler on all Ohiowaters of Lake Erie.

* The trout andsalmon daily baglimit is now 5 fishper angler throughAug. 31. The mini-mum size limit forboth is 12 inches.

* It is illegal to possess blackbass (largemouths and smallmouths)in Ohio waters of Lake Erie throughJune 29. The season re-opens on June30 with a daily bag limit of 5 fish anda 14-inch minimum size limit.

Western BasinWalleye fishing improved over the

past week (week of 5/7/12). Trollingwith crankbaits and worm harnessesfrom the outer buoys of the CampPerry firing range to the east side ofKelleys Island has produced fish.

Yellow perch fishing has beenslow but fish have been caught onminnows off Marblehead, KelleysIsland and Vermilion.

Central BasinWalleye have been caught off

Cleveland at night at 10-15 feet usingrapalas and husky jerks. During theday, anglers are fishing suspended in42 feet and using crawler harnesses.

Yellow perch fishing has been fairto average in 25 feet at the GordonPark light on the east end of theCleveland break wall, 37 N-NW ofWildwood State Park, 28-40 N ofMentor Lagoons and 43-47 N ofAshtabula; perch-spreaders with shin-ers fished near the bottom producethe most. Shore anglers are catchingfish off the Cleveland Piers and atHeadlands Beach Pier in Mentor out atthe lighthouse, especially using spread-ers with shiners during the mornings.Shore anglers are also catching rockbass off the piers.

Smallmouth bass fishing has beenvery good in 15-25 around harborareas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor,Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut; usedrop-shot rigs with rubber worms,soft-craws, leeches, tube jigs and

crank baits. Anglers are also catch-

ing fish in the Grand River up to the

Painesville dam using tube jigs and

golden shiners.

The water temperature is 60

degrees off of Toledo and 55 degrees

off of Cleveland, according to thenearshore marine forecast. Anglers areencouraged to always wear a U.S.Coast Guard-approved personal flota-tion device while boating.

ELIDA This one wentinto the too-bad-someone-had-to-lose category, onethat every fan attending thegame expected.

It took an unearned run inthe bottom of the sixth inningto give Leipsic a hard-fought1-0 dandy over St. Johns in aDivision IV District final on abeautiful Friday afternoon atElidas Ed Sandy MemorialField.

All three pitchers in thiscontest: Blue Jay junior CurtisGeise (5-5; 6 innings, 3 hits,1 unearned run, 3 bases-on-balls, 8 strikeouts; 98 pitches,55 strikes) and Viking seniorsTravis Schroeder (5 IPs, 3hits, 1 BB, 1 K; 64 pitches,40 strikes) and twin brotherTrevor Schroeder (7-0; 2 IPs,4 Ks; 24 pitches, 16 strikes);dominated the opposing line-up.

With a scoreless drawentering the bottom of thesixth, the home Vikings gota leadoff liner by seniorNate Schey past senior firstsacker Isaac Klausing. TravisSchroeder bunted him up abase. Junior Daniel DeLaRosafouled out for the second out.Junior Austin Brown struckout on a pitch in the dirtthat got away from seniorAustin Reindel, far enoughfor Brown to reach first; onthe play, a hustling Scheyscored for the lone tally.

It was a tough way tolose a game. We made onemistake today and they tookadvantage of it, St. Johnscoach Dan Metzger said. Wehad opportunities to capitalizeon earlier in the game theymade two errors but failedto do so. They also took awaywhat we do best; our aggres-siveness on the bases. Theypicked off our two best base-runners and those were bigmomentum plays.

Trevor Schroeder thenstruck out the side in theSt. Johns seventh to end thecontest.

We were fortunateenough to win this game.There werent many opportu-nities to score and we finallycapitalized, Leipsic coachDarren Henry explained.We had lost to them thelast two times to them in thetournament 3-2 and 2-0 andthis was a big win for us. Wewere close both times.

Senior Tanner Calvelage

got aboard on an error to leadoff the Blue Jay (19-7) first.Travis Schroeder made surehe would not steal, throwingover six times. The seventhtime, he caught Calvelageleaning and picked him off.

Travis Schroeder wasplunked with one down in theViking second and advancedon a passed ball, with Reindelsuffering an apparent injury.However, he stayed in thegame and Geise got the nexttwo batters.

In the Blue Jay third, juniorRyan Buescher got aboard viaa throwing error. However, afly ball, a foul-out and a pop-

up kept him there.Leipsic had the first realthreat, getting a leadoffliner to left center by juniorLogan Haselman and an outlater, after he was forced atsecond by a ground ball byjunior Devin Mangas, TrevorSchroeder walked. However,they were both stranded,

Geise got the Jays firsthit to commence the fourthbut he was also picked off byTravis Schroeder.

Travis Schroeder wasagain plunked with onedown in the home half ofthe fourth and stole secondafter a strikeout. However, heremained there.

Senior Jordan Bergfeld

walked with one down in theSt. Johns fifth. With twodown, senior Cody Kundertbeat out an infield hit to sortand senior Ryan Densel bunt-ed his way aboard to load thebases. However, they wereleft stranded.

Leipsic again got a pairon in the Leipsic fifth withtwo down; back-to-back freepasses to Mangas and TrevorSchroeder. However, theywere stranded.

Trevor Schroeder came onin relief in the St. Johnssixth and sent down the sixbatters he faced the next twoframes.

Curtis was a warriortoday. He really moved hispitches around, up and down,and changed speeds, Metzgeradded. He really showed hisbaseball smarts today. Theirpitchers both did the samething. You knew runs weregoing to be at a premiumtoday with three great pitch-ers on their game. They madea couple of mistakes but theyalso made some outstandingdefensive plays.

Henry echoed the samesentiments.

Their pitcher did a greatjob of taking a little some-thing off his fast ball tokeep us off-balance, Henry

added. So did Travis and

Trevor. We preach pitchingand defense and generally didboth. I actually wasnt goingto start Travis today (at 7-0coming into this game) afterhe started Wednesday butafter practice yesterday andduring warmups today, heconvinced me he was readyto go. Plus, I had Trevorready to go as well.

Leipsic (24-3) advances tothe Patrick Henry Regional2 p.m. Thursday to play theOttawa Hills/Northwood vic-tor.

The Associated PressYankees 4, Reds 0NEW YORK Andy Pettitte pitched

eight shutout innings for his first regular-season win since July 2010, leading the NewYork Yankees over the Cincinnati Reds 4-0Friday night.

Making his second major-league startsince ending his 1-year retirement, the39-year-old left-hander (1-1) limited theyoung, free-swinging Reds to four hits allsingles. With a fastball that reached 90 mph,an excellent cutter and a sharp curve, hestruck out nine and walked one, throwing 78of 115 pitches for strikes.

Given a 1-0 lead on Alex Rodriguezs

RBI grounder in the fourth, Pettitte pitchedwell enough to make it stand up. RobinsonCano hit a solo homer off Bronson Arroyo(2-2) in the eighth and Raul Ibanez hit a2-run drive, his eighth homer of the season.

Pettitte had been 0-2 in five starts sincewinning at Seattle on July 8, 2010 fivedays before he pitched in the All-Star game.After missing much of the second halfbecause of a groin strain, he beat Minnesotain Game 2 of the AL division series.

In his first start at Yankee Stadium onSunday, Pettitte allowed four runs over 6 1/3innings in a 6-2 loss to Seattle.

Boone Logan pitched a perfect ninth,completing the 4-hitter as New York stoppeda 3-game losing streak.

Arroyo allowed four runs and nine hits in7 2/3 innings.

New York went ahead when Rodriguezslapped a grounder to shortstop off Arroyo not the pitchers glove, as he infamouslydid near first base in Game 6 of the ALchampionship series against Boston. Canodoubled the lead with his fourth homer of theseason, a drive into the right-field bleachers.

New York again struggled with runnersin scoring position. The Yankees were 0-for-7 and are three for their last 48 (.063) withRISP.

New York loaded the bases with noouts in the sixth on singles by Derek Jeterand Curtis Granderson followed by Canoswalk. Rodriguez grounded to third, whereTodd Frazier bobbled the ball before throw-ing home for the forceout replays wereunclear when catcher Ryan Hanigan wastouching the plate.

Ibanez grounded to first, with Joey Votto

throwing home for another forceout, andNick Swisher popped to center.

Cincinnati, the first team since interleagueplay started in 1997 to play at the Mets andYankees on consecutive days, got an earlybase-runner when Zack Cozart struck outleading off but the ball kicked off the gloveof catcher Chris Stewart, who was catchingPettitte for the first time. Cozart wound upat second on the passed ball and a throwingerror by Stewart, who wildly flung the ballwell over first baseman Nick Swisher.

Cozart took third on Drew Stubbs sacri-fice but was stranded when Joey Votto andBrandon Phillips struck out. After allowingHanigans leadoff single in the third, Pettitte

struck out the side.Notes: A day after Donna Summersdeath, her rendition of God Bless Americawas played during the seventh-inning stretch.... New York 1B Mark Teixeira, botheredby a cough since early April, was giventhe night off. ... New York RHP Ivan Nova(4-1) remains scheduled to start today. If hisbruised and sprained right foot gives Novatrouble while warming up, the Yankeeswould turn to Freddy Garcia. Homer Bailey(1-3) starts for the Reds.

Marlins 3, Indians 2CLEVELAND Carlos Zambrano

pitched seven strong innings to help theMiami Marlins open interleague play bybeating the Cleveland Indians 3-2 Fridaynight.

Heath Bell worked the ninth for h is fourthsave in eight chances.

Reliever Tony Sipp (0-2) took the lossas Cleveland had a 4-game winning streakbroken.

Marlins centerfielder Emilio Bonifacioleft with a strained left thumb in the fifthinning.

Indians starter Justin Masterson, awarethat Bonifacio was 20-for-20 in steals thisseason, threw over to first base four times to

keep the speedy runner close. On one of thepickoff attempts, Bonifacio appeared to jamhis hand as he dove back to the base. He thenwas thrown out by catcher Carlos Santana.

Bryan Petersen opened the Miami eighthwith a walk off Sipp and was bunted to sec-ond by Jose Reyes. Right-hander Joe Smithcame on and got Omar Infante to hit a bounc-er back to him. Smith whirled and threw tosecond, trying to get Petersen, but the ball hitthe runner and rolled into right field for anerror, putting Marlins on first and third.

Ramirez then flied out to center, scoringPetersen for the second time.

Petersen also walked to open the thirdinning against Masterson, was singled to

third by Reyes and scored when Infantesground ball forced out Reyes at second.Cleveland took a 2-0 lead off Zambrano

in the second. Johnny Damon drew a 2-outwalk and scored all the way from first onCasey Kotchmans double just inside thefirst-base line. After Jose Lopez walked,Shin-Soo Choo singled home Kotchman fora 2-0 lead.
