Singing the song
of ‘their people’BY KAY LOUTHDHI Media Staff Writer
DELPHOS — When conditions are just right, millions oflarge but harmless bugs will emerge from a 17-year under-ground hiatus and begin singing a curious song, a loud, screechybuzz, buzz, buzz.
Ohio is home to two broods and the particular batch ofperiodical cicadas emerging this year, Brood V will only appearin the eastern half of the state. Starting roughly in mid-MayEastern Ohioans will enjoy their company for about a month.For many people, it is worth the time to travel to get a look atthese reluctant creatures and catch their unique song. WesternOhio is home to Brood VIII and they won’t appear here until2019.
According to Curtis Young, Extension Educator and Natural
Resources for Ohio State University Extension in Van Wert andwho is also an entomologist, says there could be hundreds orthousands in one spot singing and mating, so watch your step.All kidding aside, their song is reminiscent of 1950s science fic-tion alien invasion B movie. If you want to hear their song do anInternet search. If you’re a bride looking for an outdoor weddingin May and June, you’d better make sure there are none aroundthe ceremony site because the cicadas will ruin your magic day.
“They are truly a novelty of nature,” Young said. “Most ofthe insects we are familiar with and deal with on a regular basishave a short life cycle.”
Most insects live for no more than a year at most, he said.The periodical cicada takes 17 years from the egg stage to theadult. Young said the immature stage is spent undergroundconnected to the roots of trees, which they feed on for all thoseyears. Young added that their feeding is so minimal the cicadashave very little impact on the trees.

DELPHOS — Respectful.The word has taken on added
importance to the Ohio Department ofTransportation, including in District 1,headquartered in Lima.
It comes as a part of an old programmade new again for ODOT, called part-nering. Construction Engineer for ODOTDistrict 1 Scott Mullins explained part-nering is working with contractors onall the phases of construction trying toresolve issues that arise on contract atthe lowest possible level. The conceptwas first introduced to ODOT in theearly 1990’s but slowly faded out of use.Then six years ago it was reintroducedin the state. Partnering also means work-ing with businesses and residents.
First ,there are partnering meetingsthat includes ODOT, contractors, utili-ties, public officials and any other per-son or organization that may be involved
learning about the project and all thatgoes into partnering. The number ofmeetings vary due to the complexity ofthe individual project. In these meetings,topics include chain of command, com-munication goals, the project mission,problem solving, known issues and theschedule.
In Van Wert, contractors have to con-sider that the hospital has to have a wayin and out for emergency services as anexample of a known issue.
“District 1 is really embracing it,”Miller said. “Respectfully, always keep-ing in mind what’s the best that is possi-ble, keeping that focus. The goal of part-nering is to have a quality project, a safeproject, where no one gets hurt, whetherit’s ODOT, contractor or consumer. Andto finish on time and on budget.”
One example of partnering may bewhen installing a storm sewer in theground and during the digging, contrac-tors come across a gas line they didn’tknow was there. That would be an issuethat would have to be resolved.
“If the project inspector can workthat out, that’s the lowest possible level.Sometimes things can’t be worked outon a issue and it has to rise to the nextlevel and that’s OK,” said Miller. “It’sreally a lot of common sense, to be hon-est with you. Things get resolved fromthe bottom up.”
In the past, in the same kind of situ-ation, if there hasn’t been a good rela-tionship with a contractor, the contractorwould report the finding and that’s allthey’d say and then there would be adelay. A delay, Miller said, that couldcause damages and has potential tocause the owner of the gas line money
damages as well. If partnering was a partof the project, the contractor could sayto the gas line owner “we have a projecttwo blocks down the road we could startand that would give you time to workout a solution that won’t cost you moneyor us delays.”
“It’s a good solution and it worksvery well,” Miller said.
And that’s where respectful comesin. Partnering gives everyone a chanceto buy into the project and make it theirown, as it empowers those at the verybottom to find solutions and make deci-sions, creating a whole new atmosphereat work when everyone is on board onthe goals of the project.
“It’s not about you, it’s not about me,it’s the project. We want to build a quali-ty project for the public. The contractorsout there want to be proud of what theydid,” Miller said. “When we have part-ner meetings, the word respectful doescome in quite a bit.”
Currently, according to Rhonda Pees,Public Information Officer for District
1 ODOT, there are three new projectsthat are in partnership status and theyare: Route 309 from Eastown Road toDelphos; Route 127, Washington Streetin Van Wert; and a project in Cairo. Inaddition, a long-term project on I-75 isalso a partnership project and it will bewrapped up by early fall.
ODOT embraces partnerships with communities

DELPHOS—A Passportto home. For too many, theelderly being forced to leavehome because of disability orage-related frailties, can lead tosorrow and depression.
Like most people, they wantto maintain their independence.Thanks to Medicaid, many ofthose same people can stay athome independently with helpat home.
The program is called
Passport and it providesin-home help with person-al care, shopping and errandsand light housekeeping, amongother tasks. Previously, anyperson needing help prettymuch had to resign themselvesto living in a nursing home.
However, Passport has hita stumbling block, as there issimply not enough help to goaround. In this area, there areonly a few consumer-directedproviders and 28 home healthagencies and these entitiesalready serve 700 individualson the Passport program alone.There’s been a rapid growth ofthose over 60 in Ohio and Ohiois having a difficult time main-
taining a competent workforce.“There’s a definite shortageout there,” said Donna Miller,Provider Relations Director forthe Area Agency on Agency.“Home health agencies are alllooking for staff.”
The reality is that manyelderly hoping to stay homeare being helped by familymembers, friends or neighbors.And this help while welcome isunpaid. Now, these same peo-ple can be paid. Individuals onPassport can hire, so to speak,a family member or friend thathas already been taking careof the elderly person. Personsinterested in hiring on can con-tact Miller at 419-879-3865 formore information or they cancontact home health agenciesdirectly.
To qualify for Passport, aperson must first be eligible forMedicaid and needs the levelof care that requires nursinghome care and is able to remainsafely at home with the consentof their physician.
According to the Departmentof Health and Human ServicesAdministration of Aging,elderly is defined as being65 or older. In the U.S. by2013 (the last year statisticsare available) there were 44.7million elderly representing14.1 percent of the population.It is estimated that by 2060there will be 98 million elderlypeople or 21 percent of thepopulation. In 2013, 43 percentof the elderly population ratedtheir health as excellent or verygood. That leaves 57 percentof both genders and all racesfacing a chronic illness or morelikely chronic illnesses, such ashigh blood pressure, diabetes,cancer and arthritis.

BY JAMES HOORMANAg Educator
OSU ExtensionPutnam County
Dr. Laura Lindsey, OSUSoybean and Wheat ExtensionSpecialist, is embarking on aStatewide project aimed at gen-erating some baseline producerdata on current Ohio soybeanmanagement practices. Thisproject is funded by the OhioSoybean Council and the NorthCentral Soybean ResearchProgram (NCSRP). The proj-ect goal is to identify the key
factors that preclude or preventthe State’s Soybean Producersfrom obtaining yields thatshould be potentially possibleon their respective individualfarms.
The term used for the dif-ference between what yieldis possible on your farm eachyear and what yield you actu-ally achieve is called a “YieldGap”. OSU Extension is look-ing for Crop Producers in Ohioto provide us with yield andother agronomic data specific totheir soybean production fields.With that data, we could thenconduct an in-depth analysis ofwhat on-farm factors might be
causing a Yield Gap on produc-er farms.
We intend to provide annualreports to all crop producersinforming them of what factorswe may have identified that,based on our analysis of the datacollected from farms, are likelylimiting you from achievingsoybean yields closer to yieldpotential that is likely possibleon your farms! Specifically, we
are requesting yield and otherdata specific to two 2015 fieldsof soybean and also two 2014fields of soybeans, that YOUgrew on your farm.
We recognize that you maybest remember the yields andrelated agronomic data for the2015 season because you justharvested those fields withinthe past few months. However,we would very much appreciateadditional data for two 2014soybean fields on your farm.
If you cannot recall or donot have data for any field,we would also like that data
blank. We look forward toreceiving your data. Keep inmind that all data submissionswill be kept strictly confiden-tial. In this project, our objec-tive is to WORK FOR YOU.Our goal is to use the dataYOU supply to help YOUget soybean yields on YOURfarm fields that, in the future,will be closer to the poten-tial soybean yields that arepossible on those fields, onceyou know what productionsystem factors are holdingback YOUR current soybeanyields. To supply informationand fill out a soybean yieldsurvey form, contact Dr. Laura
Lindsey at 614-292-9080 oremail at [email protected].
Dr. Kelly Tilman, a OSUpollinator specialist, is alsoconducting a soybean study onpollinators. An array of bee andfly pollinator species are foundin soybean, and can enhanceyield even though soybeans areself-pollinating. I will be con-ducting a study this summer
to identify pollinator insects inOhio soybean and I’m lookingfor cooperators with appropriatefield sites for insect sampling.Fields can be conventional ororganic, but cannot be plantedwith an insecticidal seed treat-ment (fungicide is okay). Theminimum field size is 500 x500 m (about 62 acres) to beable to sample far enough awayfrom field edges. The samplingdevice is a metal stake witha “bee bowl” mounted on it,posted at various intervals upto 250 m (roughly 250 yards)into the field. These stakes can
be removed when equipmentneeds to go through. We willsample from R1 through R4when soybeans start bloom-ing). Either my program orACRE interns will check trapstwice-weekly to collect trappedpollinators. If you are interestedin this project and can helpidentify cooperators, or havequestions, please contact Dr.Tilman at 330-202-3529 [email protected].
The Putnam County plant-ing season is getting off to a
slow start. Around Leipsic andPandora some corn and a fewbeans have been planted but thecool wet weather has definitelydelayed corn planting and evensoybean planting. On a brighternote, the wheat looks great aslong as we can avoid diseaseproblems. Due to lower grainprices and lower input costs,more farmers may be plantingsoybeans this year. For covercrops, we would recommendletting the cereal rye in frontof soybeans grow because theyhelp to dry out the soil. If youhave cereal rye in front of corn,
kill it at least 2-3 weeks beforeplanting corn for best results.Both corn and cereal rye aregrass plants, and the microbescan sometimes attack newlyplanted corn in front of freshlykilled cereal rye. If you wait2-3 weeks and add a little extraN (40-60 pounds at planting),farmers generally have fewerproblems. Farmers are good toplant corn through mid-Mayand hopefully the weather willimprove soon.

Longer bus ride not so good for Eicherchildren; Lovina shares sad horse news
BY LOVINA EICHER
I am a day late getting this columnout. Every week passes by faster than theone before. Time does not stand still—that’s for sure.
Joseph, Lovina, and Kevin left forschool a few minutes ago. The bus iscoming earlier now because they areshort one bus driver and need to put morestudents on one bus. We do not like thisat all! 7:00 a.m. was early enough. Welive three miles from the school and the
children are on the bus over an hour. Itwouldn’t be as bad if they wouldn’t havechores to do before they leave. Josephalways milks our cow Bessie before heshowers in the morning. In the afternoonthey get home almost a half hour laterthan they used to. I really hope it won’tbe like this next term. It seems 15 to 20minutes earlier in the morning can makea world of difference.
Yesterday I took our wheels for ourpony cruiser to the repair shop which isabout a half hour from our house by car.Since we were close to the bulk foodstore we did some grocery shopping. Ilike getting groceries in big quantitiesso they will last for a while. DaughterElizabeth went along and so did daughterLoretta. Daughter Verena stayed homewith Lovina and kept Elizabeth’s Yorkie
dogs Crystal and Izzy here as well.Lovina had a headache. I really doneed to make an eye doctor appointmentfor her. At her last exam the doctorthought she might need glasses soon.She loves to read so her eyes get straineda lot. I had to start wearing glasses inthe eighth grade. I still remember whata big difference they made. I always hada hard time seeing the chalkboard. I amnear-sighted so without my glasses it’shard to see things clearly far away.
Last night son Benjamin and daugh-ter Verena attended a work bee for theyouth at one of the church families. They
accomplished a lot in a short time. It isalways a good feeling to help someoneout. They were all served supper there.
Today daughters Verena, Loretta, andI will assist sister Emma preparing forchurch services at her house. Both herdaughters work away from home so sheis home alone with much to do. The girlsare washing dishes while I write this,then we can leave. Son Benjamin putthe harness on our horse Mighty to makethings easier for us when we leave. Wewill have to hitch Mighty to the buggyyet.
Ginger and Itty Bit’s foals have growna lot and are almost a year old. Itty Bit’sfoal we named Black Beauty and shewill be a year old on May 1. Ginger’sfoal is Midnight and she will be one yearold June 1.
We don’t have any idea what hap-
pened to Itty Bit’s back leg but wenoticed she couldn’t walk on it anymore.We had the vet out several times andhe thought it was a bad break. With herbeing 18 years old already, he thought itwould be best to have her put down. Thiswas very hard for all of us. She was agood horse in the 14 years we owned her.We brought her with us from Indiana andshe delivered Ginger six days after ourmove. Our 22-year-old horse Diamondgave up on us last year and we miss himtoo.
Diamond and Itty Bit were the two
horses we brought from Indiana. Theywere always side by side in the field andwe never thought they would both begone, so close to each other. Itty Bit’sfoal looks like she will turn out to be agood driving horse for us when she’solder.

SportsLady Raiders ambush
Lincolnview, win 19-2BY NICK JOHNSON
DHI Media [email protected]
HAVILAND — Wayne Trace sent 20 batters to the plate inthe bottom of the second inning on Friday night, scoring 14runs en route to a lopsided 19-2 win over Lincolnview.
All 19 Raider runs came after two were out in the respectiveinnings.
Wayne Trace got all the action started with a 2-out grandslam from catcher Maddie Zartman. The Lady Raiders gotthree straight bases-loaded walks from Maggie Crosby, NatalieTorman and Keagan Parrish to bring the score to 8-0.
Leadoff hitter Carrie Thrasher would single to plate anotherrun but a fielding error by the Lincolnview outfield cleared thebases. Zartman, Carley Wright, Brooke Sinn and Crosby would
all pick up another RBI in the second frame as Wayne Tracehad a 14-0 lead after two.
The Lady Lancers were able to load the bases with twoouts in the top of the third as Sydney Jenkins walked, MacalaAshbaugh reached on a fielder’s choice and an error. AlenaLooser singled to load the bases but Wayne Trace pitcherCrosby got a pop-up to herself to end the top of the third.
The Lady Raiders would pick up two more runs in thebottom of the third as Parrish walked and later scored on afielder’s choice coming off the bat of Zartman. Zartman wouldalso dent the plate on a throwing error from the Lady Lancerinfield, 16-0.
The bottom of the fourth featured more 2-out magic fromthe Lady Raiders as the bases were juiced when Carley Wrightdoubled to plate three more runs and give Wayne Trace a 19-0lead.
“I thought the girls came out and played hard - we hadstruggled at the plate of late,” said Wayne Trace coach AmberShowalter. “We came out last night and got a good win and
tonight to come out and get a good win will help build our con-fidence going into tournament play. I feel like we are finallyready for tournament; we have played two of our best gamesgoing into tournament. I know the girls are ready and excitedfor tournament and so am I.”
The Lady Lancers wouldn’t go without a fight in the top ofthe fifth as Jenkins and Ashbaugh both singled and Looser andHannah Taylor would pick up RBI singles to cut the WayneTrace lead to 19-2 on the night.
The Lady Raiders got a strikeout from pitcher Anne Eklandto end the game. Local Roundup

LIMA — Van Wert’schances for a WesternBuckeye League tennischampionship are alive andwell after Friday’s first dayat the UNOH courts. TheCougars advanced all threesingles players and both dou-bles teams to Saturday morn-ing’s semifinals.
It wasn’t all that easy.The number 1, 2 and 3
seeds nearly always make itthrough to the semifinals, andthe Cougars were well-posi-tioned at second singles (top-seed Nick Etter), first doubles(No. 1 seed Davis Munroe/Gabe Rollins) and seconddoubles (Michael Etter/Spencer Teman).
Nick Etter rolled toa 6-1, 6-1 win over No. 9seed Spencer Stubbs of Bath,despite struggling might-ily with his powerful firstserve (23 percent). He willmeet up with No. 4 seed AlexStinebaugh of Wapakoneta inthe semis.
Neither of Van Wert’s dou-bles teams had an easy timethough. Munroe and Rollinswere challenged by the No. 8seeds from Elida, Ian Klausand Alex Yonut. The Cougarpair trailed 3-1 in the firstset and 2-1 in the second butbattled back for a 6-4, 6-4win. Munroe and Rollins willplay the No. 5 seeds, JacobGrannan and Josh Wingett ofSt. Marys next.
Michael Etter and SpencerTeman cruised to 6-1 first setwin over No. 7 seeded BenSchroer and Andrew Gibsonof Wapakoneta, but struggledmightily in the second set,
losing 3-6. They pulled ittogether in the third, howev-er, for a 6-2 win. They willplay the No. 3 seeds, HarshaBattula and Jackson Schaafof Shawnee in the semifinals.
Van Wert’s first singles andthird singles players, BrandonAmstutz and Ryan Keber areboth #5 seeds, thus facinghigher seeds, No. 4’s BobbyMiller of St. Marys andDrew Rosengarten of Celina,respectively. To make it eventougher, Miller had beaten
Amstutz and Rosengartenhad beaten Keber during theregular season, both of thosematches going three sets.
The Amstutz/Miller matchwas a great one, particularlythe first set. Amstutz hit aton of winners in both sets,and he had to because Millerwas a master at getting theball back. Up 5-3 in the firstset, Amsutz let two set pointsget away while losing theninth game. Helped by akey let cord point, howev-er, he rebounded to win thenext game and the set, 6-4.Amstutz dominated the sec-ond set 6-1.
Amstutz, who has agood first serve and a bet-ter-than-average second, putin a remarkable 75 percent ofhis first serves. Miller hit on65 percent, but his first serveseldom had much velocity.
Amstutz will meettop-seeded Emerson Hager ofWapak in the semifinals.
Keber was far more con-sistent than Rosengarten androlled to a 6-3, 6-2 win. Hewill next meet #1 seeded JeffKaufman of O-G.
Today at 9 a.m., weath-er permitting, the playersin the main draw, includingall seven Cougars, will beplaying it out for places onethrough four, while playersin the back draw will battlefor places five through eight.Team scoring for places onethrough eight is on a 12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 basis.
The WBL championshipis a combination of regularseason place and tournamentplace. Van Wert and Wapaktied for the regular seasontitle at 8-1. O-G and Shawneewere right behind at 7-2. VanWert and Shawnee are in the
best position Saturday withall of their players advanc-ing to the semifinals. Wapakplayers are still alive at allthree singles slots, but neitherof their doubles teams made itthrough. Ottawa-Glandorf isstill alive at first singles, thirdsingles, and second doubles.
Van Wert has not won aWBL championship in boystennis since 1969 when theCougars shared the crownwith Celina. The last outrightchampionship came in 1967.

MIDDLE POINT — Withthe high school baseballpost-season looming, thecoaches from Ottoville andLincolnview were looking tothe deep end of the rotationto get through Friday’s non-league clash at LincolnviewHigh School.
In a game that featured20 hits, a hit batter, 17 freepasses and six errors, it camedown to the great start by thehost Lancers.
They put up seven in thebottom of the first and twoin the bottom of the secondand then held on for a 14-9victory on a brilliant springafternoon/evening.
“We knew it would bea battle today — we threwout fifth, sixth and seventhpitchers. Obviously, they areyoungsters and haven’t hada chance to get innings thisyear at varsity,” Ottovillehead coach Ty Wannemachersaid. “We actually weren’tworried about winning andlosing today because of thepitching but we wanted tokeep our hitting up. We still
struck out too many times butgenerally, we had a good dayat the plate. We also wantedto simply compete; that’s ourgoal every game, no matterwho’s pitching or the situa-tion.”
The Lancers hosted SeniorNight for seven playing their
final home game: JalenRoberts, Austin Leeth, DerekYoutsey, Tyler Richey, ColeSchmersal, Dustin Hale andKeli Ralston.
“Keli had pitched oneinning this year, s it was achance to get him and someof our other younger guys
some innings. We wanted tosave our 1 and 2 for tomor-row,” Lincolnview head manEric Fishpaw said. “We alsowanted to keep our offenserolling; this was the secondstraight night we had a goodgame at the plate with 12 hitslast night and 11 tonight. Ourbatters are seeing the ballwell and making good con-tact. They understand what todo with men on and they’reunselfish in being willing tolay down a bunt and sacrificethemselves.”
The hosts (10-12) sent 11
to the dish against Ottovillestarter Brendan Schnipke intheir first at-bat. With onedown, Leeth walked, stolesecond and scored on a dou-ble to the base of the fence incenter by Richey. In turn, thelatter scored on a 2-out ropeto left by Jaden Youtsey, with
the batter taking second onthe throw home. He scoredas Hale was safe on a mis-cue on his grounder. Ralstonworked a free pass and bothrunners touched the dish ona 2-run double to left cen-ter by Roberts. Reese Farmersingled up the gut to get himhome, taking second on thethrow home, and scored theseventh run on a line shot toleft center by leadoff batterChayten Overholt.
The Big Green (5-11) gotone back in the top of thesecond against starter Ralstonon a 2-out fielder’s choice
by Andy Schimmoeller, awalk to Ryan Bendele andan RBI liner to left centerby Brendan Schnipke to getSchimmoeller in.
The Lancers made it 9-1in the second. Richey dou-bled down the left-field line.
D. Youtsey walked and anout later, Hale’s single to leftplated Richey; an error on thesequence plated D. Youtseyand finished B. Schnipke’s
day on the mound (for AndySchimmoeller).
Ottoville rallied in earnestin the upper third, sending10 to the plate. With onedown, Zane Martin and NickMoorman walked and GarrettSchnipke was safe on an errorto load the bases. ClaytonSchnipke forced pinch-runnerDylan Kemper at second butscored Martin. Schimmoellerworked a free pass and anerror on Bendele’s ground-er plated Moorman and C.Schnipke for a 9-4 deficit. Aseeing-eye single to left by B.Schnipke reloaded the sacks
and a bad-hop single pastthird sacker D. Youtsey byJared Fanning — with ThadWalker on in relief — platedSchimmoeller and Bendelefor a 9-6 scoreboard.
Lincolnview made it 10-6in the home fourth on a 2-outwalk to Ralston, a steal ofsecond and a run-scoringknock to center by Roberts.
The Green and Goldinched within a run in thetop of the fifth. Schimmoellersingled to right, swiped sec-ond, advanced on a wildpitch and scored on a 1-outknock to right center by B.Schnipke. Fanning singled to
left and Brad Boecker walkedto load them up. An out later,Moorman walked to forcein B. Schnipke and bringCody Hoehn to the mound.He walked Kemper to forceFanning home for a 10-9score but got the final out.

over 11 inches!===========Leave wildlife in the wildCOLUMBUS – The spring
season has arrived, offeringmany opportunities for Ohioansto help protect young wildlife.Each year, Ohio Department ofNatural Resources (ODNR) offi-cials offer this simple advice:enjoy wildlife from a distanceand leave young animals alone.Wild animals are born to livetheir lives in the wild and some-times good intentions can hurttheir chances of survival.
A young wild animal’s bestchance for survival is with itsmother. Most wildlife takenin by people do not survive,except when handled by special-ly-trained personnel. In manycases, a young animal collectedby a person was not lost or aban-doned but was simply waitingfor a parent to return.
Many adult wild animals willleave their young alone whilethey forage for food or to divertthe attention of predators awayfrom their vulnerable young,especially during the daylighthours. In the case of white-taileddeer, a doe will hide her youngfrom predators by leaving italone in a secluded spot, such
as a grassy meadow or a flowerbed. A hidden fawn has virtuallyno scent and when the fawn isleft alone, it is difficult for pred-ators to find. The doe is usuallynearby and will tend to the fawnduring the night.
Baby birds that have fallenfrom their nests are one of themost common wildlife speciesthat are removed by humansfrom the wild. Contrary to pop-ular belief, human scent willnot prevent the parents fromreturning to care for their young.Individuals should return thebaby birds back in their nests
and then walk away so the par-ents can continue to feed thebirds without fear of humans.
If individuals find a younganimal that is visibly injured orclearly in severe distress andmay need assistance, visit wildo-hio.gov/staywild before takingany action. Specific informationfor commonly encountered wild-life is available to help guidepeople on how to best help thewild animal.
State and federal laws protectand regulate wildlife in Ohioand only specially-trained and
licensed wildlife rehabilitators,with special permits issued bythe ODNR Division of Wildlife,may possess and care for nativewild animals. These laws are inplace for the benefit of humansas well as wild animals.
To further protect young andvulnerable wild animals, keeppets under control so they do notraid nests or injure wild animals.Also, remember to keep petsinoculated against parasites anddiseases before venturing outthis spring.
Always check for nests beforecutting down trees or clearingbrush. It is best to cut trees andclear brush in the autumn whennesting season is over. Teach
children to respect wildlife andtheir habitat, observing wildlifefrom a distance.
Contact a local wildlife offi-cial before taking action. Call800-WILDLIFE (800-945-3543)or visit wildohio.gov/staywild toconnect with the proper indi-viduals and to read about spe-cies-specific guidance. Humanintervention is always a wildanimal’s last hope for survival,never its best hope.

Warnecke shuts out CardinalsBY JIM METCALFEDHI Media Sports Editor [email protected]
DELPHOS — St. John’shas generally had splendidpitching during the 2016baseball season.
That trend continued ver-sus New Bremen Thursdayafternoon at Stadium Park asright-hander Josh Warneckepitched a 3-hit gem of a shut-out.
The Blue Jays finally gotto Cardinals’ freshman rightyRyan Bertke and ended upwith a 5-0 Midwest AthleticConference conquest.
Warnecke struck out 11and walked a pair in his 115-pitch (72 for strikes) com-plete game.
St. John’s held SeniorNight for Ryan Hellman,Jesse Ditto, Owen Baldaufand Chad Etgen.
“Ryan gave us anoth-er great pitching effort. Hewas hitting both sides of theplate with his fastball andhad pretty good control withonly two walks and a hitbatter versus 11 strikeouts,”St. John’s head coach JerryJackson said. “We playedgood defense behind him and
that’s the second part of goodbaseball. We finally got totheir starter the third timethrough the lineup and startedto time him up. I like howwe’re improving at the plateputting the ball in play andnot striking out; good thingshappen when you are hittingthe ball on the ground or linedrives and not fly balls.”
Bertke also worked a com-plete game and finished with98 tosses (57 strikes).
Both hurlers shut out theirfoe until the bottom of thefifth. Warnecke got aboard
via a throwing error to lead itoff, moved up on pinch-hit-ter Baldauf’s sacrifice buntand a Hellman bounceout andscored on a double to deepleft by Seth Linder for a 1-0edge.
The Cardinals (7-12, 1-7MAC) tried to answer in thetop of the sixth with a 2-outfree pass to Greg Parker.However, junior catcherBuddy Jackson threw him outtrying to steal second.
The Blue and Gold (10-10,2-6 MAC) gave Warneckebreathing room with four inthe sixth. Eric Vogt clubbeda double to deep left, Jacksonsingled to right center andAaron Reindel walkedto load the bases. An outlater, Warnecke slapped asingle up the gut to plateVogt and pinch-runner TroySchwinnen; on the sequence,a throwing error also allowedReindel to score and put thebatter at second. Troy Elwersingled to out runners on thecorners and Warnecke addedthe fifth run on a sacrifice flyto left by Hellman. Lindersingled to left to put two run-ners on but Bertke retired thenext batter to account for the5-0 lead.
New Bremen had its bestthreat in the top of the seventhas Owen Leugers led off witha hit to left, Deion Hoehnwalked and both advancedon a wild pitch with no outs.However, Warnecke whiffedhis 10th and 11th victim andinduced a groundout to short-stop Eric Vogt to end thegame.
Leugers was hit by a pitchwith two outs in the Bremenfirst.
The Jays threatened inthe home second on a lead-
off base-on-balls issued toJackson, a wild pitch and aninfield nibbler to third byReindel to put runners onthe corners. Reindel took offfor second but catcher Hayspicked Jackson off third.Reindel advanced on Ditto’sgroundout but remained atthird.
Hays led off the visitorthird with a bloop to left andmoved to third on sacrificesby Alig and Selby.
Hellman had a 1-out sin-gle in the St. John’s third anda throwing error on a pickofftry put him at third.
Jackson got aboard on a1-out error in the home fourthand a Reindel sac bunt movedhim to second.
Hays lined a 2-down sin-gle to right in the guest fifthbut Jackson gunned himdown trying to steal second.
