The Associated Press

The two suspects in theBoston Marathon bombingkilled an MIT police offi-cer and hurled explosives atpolice in a car chase and gunbattle overnight that left oneof them dead and his brotheron the loose, authorities saidtoday as thousands of officersswarmed the streets in a man-hunt that all but paralyzed theBoston area.

The suspects were iden-tified by law enforce-ment officials and familymembers as Dzhokhar andTamerlan Tsarnaev, brothers

from a Russian region nearChechnya, which has beenplagued by an Islamic insur-gency that has carried outdeadly bombings. They livednear Boston and had been inthe U.S. for about a decade,an uncle said.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a26-year-old who had beenknown to the FBI as SuspectNo. 1 and was seen in surveil-lance footage in a black base-ball cap, was killed overnight,officials said. His brother, a19-year-old college studentwho was dubbed Suspect No.2 and was seen wearing awhite, backward baseball cap

Clearwell Project gives city efficient water distribution

BY STEPHANIE GROVESsgroves@delphosherald.com

DELPHOS The Water TreatmentPlant By-pass Improvement Projecthas been completed and the City ofDelphos will see improvements in

water distribution during peak times.On Monday afternoon, PetersonConstruction completed the instala-

tion of three new Crane Demingpumps, which are horizontal splitcase pumps. The 75-horsepowerpumps have the capacity to drive1,500 gallons of water per minuteout into the distribution system butare dialed down to 1,300 gallons per

minute.Delphos Water SuperintendentTim Williams described the dif-

ference in the operation of the oldpumps verses the new ones.

When the old ones started up, itwas like a punch a jolt whichwas hard on equipment and the rest ofthe system, he explained. With thenew controllers, the system has a softstart and ramps up and slows downgradually.

Service Director Greg Berquist

said that it was a good project whichcost $201,000 and came in underbudget.

The Commissioners worked hardto get this project taken care of,Berquist stated. It was a need for thecommunity as a whole and a need forK&M Tires fire suppression.

In November 2012, Berquistspoke with council describing thebottleneck between the clearwellsand the water plant. He said theimprovements would increase the

citys capacity to provide water. At

Peterson Construction completed the installation of the 3 new CraneDeming pumps on Monday. The 75-horsepower pumps ease into a startup,gradually ramping up driving 1,300 gallons per minute out into distribu-tion. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)

U.S. soil.Authorities have shed no

light on the motive for theattack and have said it is unclearwhether it was the work ofdomestic or international ter-

rorists or someone else entirelywith an unknown agenda.The endgame at least for

Suspect No. 1 came justhours after the FBI releasedphotos and video of the twoyoung men at the finish lineand appealed to the public forhelp in identifying and captur-ing them. Tips came pouringin to the FBI immediately, butexactly how authorities man-aged to close in on the two wasnot immediately disclosed.

The mens uncle, RuslanTsarni of Montgomery Village,Md., told The Associated Pressthat the brothers traveled heretogether from the Russianregion near Chechnya.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was regis-tered as a student at the Universityof Massachusetts Dartmouth, theschool said. The campus closeddown along with other collegesaround the Boston area.

Their father, Anzor Tsarnaev,said in a telephone interviewwith The Associated Press fromthe Russian city of Makhachkalathat his younger son, Dzhokhar,is a true angel. Dzhokhar isa second-year medical studentin the U.S. He is such an intel-ligent boy. We expected himto come on holidays here, thefather said.

The city of Cambridgeannounced two years ago that

it had awarded a $2,500 schol-arship to Dzhokar Tsarnaev,who was listed as a senior atCambridge Rindge & LatinSchool, a highly regarded pub-lic school whose alumni include

Matt Damon, Ben Affleck andNBA star Patrick Ewing.

The images released by theFBI depict the two young menwalking one behind the othernear the finish line. RichardDesLauriers, FBI agent incharge in Boston, said Suspect

No. 2 in the white hat was seensetting down a bag at the siteof the second of two deadlyexplosions.

Authorities said surveillancetape recorded late Thursdayshowed Suspect No. 2 during arobbery of a convenience storein Cambridge, near the cam-pus of MIT, where a univer-sity police officer 26-year-old Sean Collier was shotto death while responding to areport of a disturbance.

From there, authorities said,the two men carjacked a man ina Mercedes-Benz, keeping himwith them in the car for half anhour before releasing him at agas station in Cambridge. The

man was not injured.The search for the vehicle

led to a chase that ended inWatertown, where authoritiessaid the suspects threw explo-sive devices from the car andexchanged gunfire with police. Atransit police officer was severe-ly wounded, authorities said.

Watertown resident ChristineYajko said she was awakened atabout 1:30 a.m. by a loud noise,began to walk to her kitchen andheard gunfire.

I heard the explosion, so Istepped back from that area, thenI went back out and heard a sec-ond one, she said. It was veryloud. It shook the house a little.

She said a police officer laterknocked on her door and toldher there was an undetonatedimprovised explosive device inthe street and warned her to stayaway from the windows.

that time, a restricting 12-inchpipe fed the cascading watersystem. Now, the new 18-inchinsulated steel outlet allowsfor a less restrictive flow.

The water did cascadethrough all three clearwells,which are used for chlorinecontact a process usedfor disinfection beforethe water is moved to theupground tanks for distribu-tion.

With the new outlet,

all three tanks have equalamounts of water dispersedto and contained withinthem, which allows water tomove more freely, Williamsdetailed.

The VFD controllers areconnected to the SupervisoryControl and Data Acquisition(SCADA), a system that col-lects data from various sen-sors at the treatment plantand sends data to a centralcomputer that manages andcontrols the data. One of thekey processes of the system isits ability to monitor an entiresystem in real time and senddata to a Human MachineInterface (HMI) where data isviewed and monitored by anoperator.

We can monitor differentlevel transmitters, monitor thespeed of the water and howmuch water is on top of a fil-ter, Williams detailed.

As a precautionary mea-sure, the city will keep one of

the larger pumps as a backup.

Ohio House OKsbudget amid heatover its changes

By ANN SANNERThe Associated Press

COLUMBUS A sweeping state budget that wouldgive residents an income tax cut while scrapping an expan-sion of Medicaid passed the Republican-controlled House onThursday after lawmakers agreed to continue discussing healthcoverage for the poor.

The $61.5 billion, two-year budget rewrites RepublicanGov. John Kasichs proposals for overhauling the state taxcode and drops his plans to extend Medicaid health coverageto thousands more low-income residents.

The House voted 61-35 on the spending blueprint, whichwould begin July 1. The plan, with the support of threeDemocratic lawmakers, now goes to the GOP-dominatedSenate, where more changes and hearings are expected.

Before the final vote, representatives dumped a contentiousprovision approved by a House committee that would havebarred instructors from distributing contraceptives or promot-ing what the provision referred to as sexual gateway activi-

ties in health education classes.Other debate was focused on whether the state should moveforward with expanding the federal-state Medicaid programunder President Barack Obamas health care law.

Roughly 366,000 low-income Ohio residents would be eli-gible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid,the health program for the poor that already provides care forone of every five residents in the state. The Kasich admin-istration expects the state to see $13 billion from the federalgovernment over the next seven years to cover those newlyeligible for Medicaid.

Instead, representatives Thursday evening unanimouslyapproved an amendment to give lawmakers time to study theissue and allow the state to pursue other options.

The Kasich administration has been negotiating with fed-eral officials for months over the details of possibly providingprivate health coverage to some people who would be eligiblefor Medicaid under the expansion.

The amendment directs administration officials to assistlawmakers in developing Medicaid reforms and to submit a

Medicaid plan to the Legislature by this fall. It says state law-makers would have to sign off on any Medicaid proposal thathas federal approval before it gets implemented.

The change had the reluctant support of Democrats, whoearlier Thursday had tried unsuccessfully to restore Kasichsproposal into the budget.

Democrats argued pursuing expansion was the best wayto create new jobs, save state taxpayer dollars and keep Ohioresidents healthy.

We had the opportunity to do the right thing today, not tojust kick the can down the road, House Democratic LeaderArmond Budish, of Beachwood, told his colleagues.

Still, he said, the amendment was better than doing noth-ing.

The amendment requires a future bill be introduced in theHouse that reforms the Medicaid program and reduces thenumber of people who enroll in the program over time.

House Finance Chairman Ron Amstutz, a WoosterRepublican, said the measure allows lawmakers the chance towork with the Kasich administration to find common ground.

If we want healthy Ohioans, we need to roll up oursleeves, Amstutz said. And next week and the week afterfind ways to come together and do good policy.

After 25 years, familiar religion-beat questionsEvery year or so, editors are asked to sit

patiently while market researchers dissectthick reports about what consumers saythey want to see in their newspapers.

That was already true back when Har-ry Moskos was editor of the Knoxville(Tenn.) News Sentinel. But he immediate-ly noticed something strange when handedthe executive summary of one late-1980ssurvey.

Two words near the top of the subjects

valued by readers caught his attention --religion and family. Yet the profes-sionals interpreting the data offered zerosuggestions for improving coverage ofthose subjects.

I remember saying, Look at that. ...Those words just jumped out at me, pri-marily because I knew people in Knoxvilletend to see those subjects as connected,said Moskos, 76, in a telephone interview.He recently ended his 60-year journalismcareer, with most of that work in Knoxvilleand in Albuquerque, N.M.

Of course, he admitted, the fact he no-ticed the words religion and familyalso says something about the life Ivelived and how I was raised in a devoutGreek Orthodox family. I just knew wehad to do something ... to respond to thatinterest among our readers, he said.

Thus, Moskos asked his team to create a

section on faith and family life. As partof that effort, he asked -- at a meeting of

Scripps Howard editors -- if the newspaperchain could start a national religion-newscolumn.

Thats how -- 25 years ago this week -- Ibegan writing this On Religion columnfor the Scripps Howard News Service. Atthat time, I was the religion reporter forone of the chains major newspapers andthen I continued this work while teaching,rst in a seminary, then in two liberal artscolleges and, now, as director of the Wash-ington Journalism Center.

Through it all, I have been amazed thatmany people still think religion is a boring,unimportant subject that can be relegatedto the periphery of news coverage. The lateAssociated Press religion writer GeorgeCornell once noted that -- year after year

-- at least half of the items in that wire ser-vices global list of the top news eventshave obvious ties to religion.

And what about that journalistic man-tra, Follow the money? When hundredsof thousands of sports fans -- spending mil-lions of dollars -- head to stadiums or turnon their televisions, news organizationsrespond, big-time. What happens whenmillions of religious believers -- spendingbillions -- do the same? Not much.

Usually, where people put their timeand money, thats where their interestsare, Cornell told me in 1982. Newspa-

pers attention and space are supposed tobe geared to peoples interests. Right?The other big mystery, for me, is why

professionals who lead newsrooms rarelyseek out experienced, even trained, reli-gion reporters. Discussions of this topicoften reference a religion-beat openingposted by Washington Post editors in 1994,noting that their ideal candidate was notnecessarily religious nor an expert in reli-gion.

Please note the word ideal. Try toimagine editors saying their ideal can-didate to cover the U.S. Supreme Courtwould be someone who is not an expert inthe law. How about similar notices for re-porters covering politics, education, sports,science and lm?

The religion beat is too complicatedtoday for this kind of approach to be tak-en seriously, said Russell Chandler, who

covered religion for years at the Los An-geles Times. I interviewed him for BlindSpot: When Journalists Dont Get Reli-gion, from Oxford Press.

If you dont have experience you haveto pay your dues and get some. Then youhave to keep learning so that you get thefacts right today and tomorrow and the dayafter that, he said. I have never really un-derstood what this argument is about. Itslike saying that we want to sign up some

people for our basketball team and wedont really care whether or not they canplay basketball.

This logic also rings true for Moskos,who noted that he once interviewed veskilled sportswriters when seeking some-one to cover University of Tennessee foot-ball -- a quasi-religious subject for locals.Why not take that approach to religionnews?

If you send somebody out to coverthe Oak Ridge National Laboratory, heconcluded, youd better nd yourself a

journalist who knows something about sci-ence. ... If people are going to get the jobdone covering religion then they need tond some journalists who know a thing ortwo about religion.

nalism Center at the Council for Christian Colleges andUniversities and leads the GetReligion.org project to studyreligion and the news.)

Paws to Consider

Sheepmen of a certain ageWhen my wife pulled our

Pilot into the parking spaceat the graduation party, I hadno idea my life was aboutto change forever. Then, assoon as my doorslammed, I wasstruck, literallyin the face, withthe realizationthat I wasnt akid anymore.There, reflect-ed in the win-dow, dressed infarmers ballcap, plaid, shortsleeve shirt,and blue jeanswas the imageof a 60-year-oldman.

Wait! I dont

look like a 60-year-old man!I look like my friends!Oh.

Yes, I guess its true. Mostof my friends are 60-year-old men, or thereabouts, andthe ones Im thinking about,Harry and Larry, like me,also raise sheep.

And, yes, we do tend tohave similar taste in fashion.Although we may obtain ourshirts from different places,be it Penneys, TSC or thatbastion of style and com-fort, L.L.Bean, its prettyobvious our favorite coloris plaid.

We do differ, however, inthe type of sheep we raise.

Larry raises club lambs andhas done so for over 50 years.These are the black-facedsheep, usually of Suffolk orHampshire parentage, thatmost of the 4-H and FFAkids take to the fair. Harryhas also raised these overthe years, as well as Dorsetsbut now has a fine flock ofPolypays that pay for them-selves in poly ways.

I, of course, if youveread many of these columns,raise Southdowns, whichI proudly claim to be theAngus of sheep.

Ive known both of theseguys for quite some time.

Harry was one of my firstclients and he introduced meto his sheep shearer, Larry,a couple of years later whenI ventured into the sheepbusiness.

At 66, Larry is our elderand although he cant shear

as many sheep in a day ashe once did, with our badbacks, Harry and I canteven shear one. In spite ofhis age, Larry is in amazing

shape.So I was

kind of sur-prised, shockedactually, whenLarry admittedthat this lamb-ing season hadtaken a tollon him physi-cally. AlthoughI didnt knowit at the time,a few weekslater, I would behaunted by hiswords.

My season

of blessed events beganuneventfully with just a fewewes lambing the first week.By the second, though, 20ewes lambed over a threeday period, 40 over eightdays. Throw in 27 sets oftriplets, stress from exhaus-tion and the flu and the veryreal possibility that I hadtoo many sheep, I began tohave doubts if being a sheepfarmer is what I really want-ed to be when I grew up.Fortunately, I was rescuedby one of my lambs, his newmother and my neighbor,Karen.

Early one morning, I

found a ewe with stillbornlambs. Sadly, when this hap-pens, about the only thingleft to do is put the ewe onthe list. The list is notsomething you want to beon. It is the cull list, a starkreality that ones services areno longer required. Life onthe farm is harsh sometimes.Rarely does a ewe come offthe list. One way to do it,though, is to take over thecare of anothers lamb.

A couple of hours laterthat lamb was born, a tripletneeding a few more gro-ceries than his own moth-er could provide. Karen

showed me a trick learnedfrom her shepherd father.With salt in her hand, sheheld it up for the ewe to lick.Then she slowly brought theewes head close to the lamband put some salt on thelambs back. The ewe con-

tinued to lick the lamb andalmost instantly the mater-nal bond was formed.

The lamb was a differentstory, however. He was a bitstubborn. If his mouth wasplaced on the ewes teat hesucked well. But he wouldnot latch on by himself, pay-ing no heed to what waswhispered in his ear.

I apologize for the slightvulgarity, but The titty islife, a snippet of wisdomgarnered from forty years ofraising livestock, is sharedwith each lamb that requiresassistance in nursing. In thecritical time post birth, theability to nurse is absolutelythe difference between lifeand death.

On my last barn check

of the night, much reliefcame when it was apparentthe lamb had finally heardme, as he was vigorouslynursing his new momsteat. In this case, the tittymeant life for both of them.And after a few rough days,it meant a great deal to thisold shepherd as well. Maybeeverything. Thank you,Karen.

Bulldogs pummelMustangs in NWC

By Dave BoninsegnaThe Delphos Herald

zsportslive@yahoo.com

COLUMBUS GROVE Rain had hampered the

area for most of the weekbut Thursday afternoon atColumbus Grove, the weathercooperated long enough forthe Bulldogs and Allen EastMustangs to battled it out inNorthwest Conference base-ball play.

However, it might havebeen in the Mustangs bestinterest for the showers tohave come as the hosts tookcommand from the first pitchof the game when BlakeHoffman hit the first pitch hesaw for a double.

The Bulldogs scored 11runs on eight hits, whileGrove pitcher Trey Roneyheld the guests to just three

hits as the Dogs blankedAllen East 11-0 in a run-ruled5-inning game.

Roney went the distance onthe mound for the Bulldogs,while helping his own causeat the plate as well, reach-ing four times with a pair ofwalks, a fielders choice anda single. The senior struck outtwo and walked two, whilethrowing just 56 pitches.

You expect him (Trey) togo out there and throw strikesand challenge hitters; thatsexactly what he did tonight.He threw strikes. He maybewalked one or two but he didexactly what we asked him todo. Hes not a strikeout type

of guy, so we have to playgood defense behind him,Columbus Grove coach CoryKing stated.

For the hosts, Matt Jay was2-for-3 with a pair of runs bat-ted in, Brady Shafer reachedbase all four times he madea trip to the dish: three freepasses and a fielders choice.

Allen East pitcher ErikNeely had his pitching woesfrom the get-go; after theHoffman leadoff 2-bagger,the Mustang hurler gave uphits to Jay and Kody Griffith.Josh Verhoff capped off the9-batter inning with a doublea batter after Roney reachedon a hit, giving the home

team a 3-0 edge after the firstinning.Grove sent 13 batters to

the plate in the third, scoringseven times on just three hits.It started off with a walk toGriffith, followed by Verhoffreaching on a error by thethird baseman. Mason Smithfollowed with a strange infieldfly-rule out; the ball startedout in the infield but thanks tothe wind, by the time in camedown it was in short right but

the second baseman and rightfielder miscommunicated andthe ball fell, allowing Griffithto move to third, putting run-ners on first and third withone out. Elisha Jones followedup with a single to make it a4-0 game, bringing Hoffmanto the plate. Hoffman sent adribbler back to Neely but theMustang pitcher air-mailed itto first and sent it down theright-field line, Two batterslater, Jay delivered on his sec-ond hit of the game, result-ing in his second RBI of thecontest.

Two Bulldog batters later,the bases were loaded againafter back to back walks; withJay on third, Neely deliv-ered a wild pitch, allowingthe Grove catcher to scoreand making it a 5-0 score.Neely was lifted for a reliefpitcher (Casey Crow); hisfirst eight pitches were all outof the strike zone, resulting inanother Bulldog run.

Before striking out Jonesto end the inning, Crowplunked Smith with a pitch tobring in another run, makingit a 10-0 score with the hometeam in full control.

The Bulldogs added onemore in the fourth afterHoffman led off with hissecond base hit of the gameand with 2-out back-to-backwalks to Roney and Shaferloaded the bases for the fourthconsecutive inning.

That was great to see,especially in the first inning;

we had a couple differentguys that were maybe strug-gling a little bit this season,so that was nice to see thoseguys get some hits. The wholeteam contributed in someway. Thats what you want;everybody to contribute andwe did that tonight, Kingcommented.

The Bulldogs patience atthe plate enabled them to loadthe bases in every inning withMustang pitching delivering10 walks and a hit batsman.

Columbus Grove improvesto 6-1 overall and 1-0 in theNWC, while the Mustangsdrop to 3-5 and 0-2.

LOCAL ROUNDUP Reds beatMarlins for 4th

straight winThe Associated Press

CINCINNATI TonyCingrani might have been alittle too relaxed for his firstbig-league start. With the waythe Reds have been hitting,thats understandable.

Shin-Soo Choo singled,doubled and scored twice,helping Cingrani get a vic-tory in his startingdebut as the Redswon their fourth ina row by beating theMiami Marlins 11-1on Thursday night.

Cincinnatis winningstreak has featured stingystarting pitching. The 23-year-old Cingrani needed a lot ofpitches but kept up the trend.

If anything, I mightvebeen a little too relaxed, hesaid. Its a different mind-set. Around the fifth, I startedfeeling comfortable. Givingup one run in five innings isnot too bad.

The left-hander gave upfive hits, including JustinRuggianos homer, whilestriking out eight and throw-ing 102 pitches. Reds man-ager Dusty Baker gave him acongratulatory handshake anda big smile when he reached

the dugout after fanning GregDobbs to end the fifth.

Cingrani got the better of amatchup of two up-and-com-ing starters. Right-hander JoseFernandez (0-1) lasted onlyfour innings, giving up fiveruns and seven hits while tak-ing his first big-league loss.

Its not going to be thelast time, Fernandez said.Ill just try to get better.

Miami fell to 3-13, worstin the majors. The Marlinshave been shut out or limitedto one run in nine games.

Rightfielder GiancarloStanton was back in the lineupafter missing six games with abruised left shoulder. He com-

mitted two errors, includingone that let a run score.It was the right time and

place for Cincinnati to start arookie. The Reds have the besthome record in the majorsat 8-2. And theyve been onquite a splurge offensively.Theyve scored 22 runs with27 hits in their last two games.Its the first time theyve hadback-to-back games with atleast 11 runs since they beatHouston 12-2 and 15-6 atGreat American Ball Park in2010.

Cingrani didnt have to besensational to come out a win-ner.

He gave us what we need-

ed and we gave him what heneeded, Baker said.The 20-year-old Fernandez

had allowed only one run inhis first two major-leaguestarts, giving up a total of fivehits to the Mets and Phillies.He fanned Choo on a 97-mphfastball to open the Reds first,quite a start.

Didnt do so well the sec-ond time through the order.Choo and Zack Cozart singledwith two outs in the third.Fernandez threw a wild pitchthat allowed Choo to scorefrom third.

It fell apart for Fernandezin the fourth, when Cincinnatisent eight batters to the plate

for four runs. The Reds puttogether a walk, three sin-gles, Choos RBI doubleand a sacrifice fly by DevinMesoraco for a 5-1 lead, end-ing Fernandezs outing.

Hes got great stuff,manager Mike Redmond said.The big leagues are tough.Its tough to pitch. Wevegot scouts, weve got video.Believe me, its not like hes asecret. The word is out.

Todd Frazier added a 2-run

homer off John Maine as theReds pulled away.

The Marlins came in with a.209 batting average, 32 runsand three homers, all the low-est marks in the majors. Theseries opener on Thursdayrepresented a chance to nudgethose numbers up facinga rookie pitcher in a hom-er-friendly ballpark with the

wind blowing out toleft field.

Ruggiano hit asolo shot to left in thefourth, making himthe first Marlins player

with more than one homerthis season. He was the onlyMarlin to reach third base.

Cingrani made three reliefappearances for the Reds lastSeptember and was first inline for a promotion if theReds needed a starter. He tookthe place of Johnny Cueto,who went on the 15-day dis-abled list.

NOTES: Miami put SS AdeinyHechavarria on the 15-day DL witha sore throwing arm and called upINF Nick Green from Triple-A NewOrleans. The Reds optioned relieverJustin Freeman to Triple-A Louisvilleto open a roster spot for Cingrani. Redmond on what it would be like ifGreat American had a home run sculp-ture like the one at Marlins Park: Thatthing would be going nonstop. Theydhave to have a backup generator.
