Fifty-one people in the state have completed the training and now have jobs, Delany said. Currently, we have 200 folks actively enrolled throughout the state. Delany said there have been 1,000 applications come in from across the state and one-half of the applicants have attended orientations.

VAN WERT It was one of the biggest checks ever received by Van Wert County. With all the zeroes, it looked like the county had won a sweepstakes prize but actually the check was the annual payment from Iberdrola Renewables as the payment in lieu of taxes. The agreement with the Blue Creek Wind Farm developer was for a payment to be made rather than paying property taxes. The check for the year totaled more than $2 million. State Sen.

STEADY U reminds elders to take The Delphos extra care to prevent falls in February Herald
Information submitted COLUMBUS - Ohios official groundhog meteorologist, Buckeye Chuck, may not have seen his shadow, predicting an early arrival for spring weather but that doesnt mean that winter is done with us just yet. Forecasters warn that the artic temperatures of January may give way to significant snowfalls and ice in February. Slippery conditions can lead to a fall, which for many older adults, can be a life-changing event. Falls are the leading cause of injuries-related ER visits, hospitalizations and deaths for older Ohioans. Falling is not a normal part of aging and most falls can be prevented. The STEADY U Ohio initiative offers simple steps you can take to ensure that wintry conditions dont send you slipping and tripping: Bundle up to stay warm but make sure you can see in all directions and move easily and freely. Wear sturdy shoes or boots with treads, even if youre just going out to get the newspaper. Wear sunglasses to reduce glare from the sun and snow and help you see where you are walking. Do some light stretching before you venture out. Carry a small bag of salt, sand or kitty litter to sprinkle in front of you for traction on icy paths. If you must walk on icy surfaces, slow down, shorten your stride and walk with your feet pointed out slightly and knees gently bent to improve traction and balance. Snow can hide curbs and uneven surfaces. If you cant see where your foot will land, find another way. Replace worn rubber tips on canes, walkers and crutches. Ask a mobility equipment dealer about winter canes or cleats you can add to existing equipment. Dry off shoes, canes, crutches and walkers as soon as you get indoors. Carry a cleaning cloth and stop to clean your glasses if they fog up. If you are going out alone, carry a cell phone; know who you will call if you fall and make sure that person knows what to do if you call. Stay hydrated. Dehydration can affect your balance as well as how your body responds to medication. Ask your doctor or physical therapist about indoor exercises that can help you maintain strength and balance when you cant venture out. Ask your post office, newspaper and garbage collector about service options when conditions are bad. When in doubt, dont risk it. Ask for help if you dont feel safe doing something. Visit www.steadyu.ohio.gov and follow SteadyUOhio on Facebook and Twitter for more falls prevention tips and resources. Your area agency on aging also can help you connect to services and resources like minor home modifications and A Matter of Balance workshops. Call 1-866-243-5678 for the agency serving you.

Provide Complete, Correct Information: Incorrect or incomplete information can cause a delay in processing your claim. Ask Questions: If there is a disagreement about the claim settlement, ask the company for the specific language in the policy that is in question.

If this disagreement results in a claim denial, make sure you obtain a written letter explaining the reason for the denial and the specific policy language under which the claim is being denied. Do not Rush into a Settlement: If the first offer made by an insurance company does not meet your expectations, be prepared to negotiate to get a fair settlement. If you have any questions regarding the fairness of your settlement, seek professional advice. Health Claims: Ask your physician to provide your insurance company with details about your treatment, medical conditions and prognosis.

Part II At first glance, the original rules written to govern the Apple App Store seem to be simple, logical and easy to enforce. After all, who wants one of the world most powerful corporations to circulate digital forms of hate? Consider, for example, the guidelines governing personal attacks and objectionable content. The former rejects, Any app that is defamatory, offensive, mean-spirited, or likely to place the targeted individual or group in harms way. This does not apply to humorists and satirists, of course. The objectionable content rule forbids apps that are primarily designed to upset or disgust users. The section on religion, culture, and ethnicity offers another variation on this theme, stating: Apps containing references or commentary about a religious, cultural or ethnic group that are defamatory, offensive, meanspirited or likely to expose the targeted group to harm or violence will be rejected. The problem, of course, is that apps that gladden the hearts of gay mainline Protestants, Reform Jews and other doctrinal liberals will be deeply offensive to Southern Baptists, Orthodox Jews and other conservatives -- and vice versa. And one persons evangelism app may, by its very existence, be seen by those in other faiths as a tool for spiritual violence. The bottom line: Its hard to produce prod-

ucts built on religious doctrine without offending someone. So do Apple leaders ban all of them or listen only to the religious voices they find the most sympathetic? In recent years, media leaders have increasingly bought into the idea of minimizing content that they view as potentially offensive, said Quentin Schultze of Calvin College, a media scholar who has been studying online religion for two decades. The larger and more influential the media outlets, the more likely they are to want to take the edges off, because they have the most to lose. ... Its the unique, unusual minority points of view that will keep getting clipped off, of course. Back in the early 1990s, when Web browsers and email were foreign terms to ordinary Americans, Schultze began exploring the implications of online discourse and publishing for religious believers and their institu-
tions. Soon this led to his trailblazing The Internet for Christians website -- a weblogstyle project years before that term was coined -- and then a 1995 book with the same title. The key, Schultze said during those heady days, was that the lower costs and accessibility of World Wide Web publishing would create a somewhat level playing floor allowing small, innovative ministries to compete, or cooperate, with larger religious institutions. During times of turmoil, for example, a dissident religious groups online publication could publish information and viewpoints that would be ignored in a major denominations traditional ink-on-paper newspaper or by secular papers. Clearly, the Net is becoming a place for religious discourse that is being ignored in public media and isnt being allowed in the sanitized world of official church publications, he told me in an On Religion column interview in 1996. Decades later, its hard to imagine what the marketplace of religious ideas and debates would be like without the legions of alternative voices and viewpoints found in the global religious blogosphere and in social media. The problem, said Schultze, is that if powerful digital corporations -- think Apple, Google and Facebook -- insist on pushing religious voices out of the mainstream public
square, the online result will almost certainly be even more strident rhetoric and propaganda on the fringes of public life. The wild, wild west of the Internet is still out there, but all too often whats being said out there is very narrow and self-fulfilling. Thats where you have websites that just keep telling small groups of people want they want to hear, over and over, with little or no contact with other groups and other points of view, he said. But when the leaders of Apple endorse something, or reject something else, they are primarily worried about how that action will affect the reputation of their corporation, not whether their decision promotes a healthy diversity in our public discourse. In a tense atmosphere, he added, religion is a uniquely dangerous subject. The passion and the commitment that religious believers bring with them into public discourse is precisely what makes this subject seem so flammable and threatening and dangerous to people in places like Apple.

(Delphos Herald/ John Crider) tionals last year when we got out to a 7-point lead. Tonight we jumped out by 7 again and we started to throw the ball away. The Bearcats committed eight turnovers in the first period compared to five for Jefferson. The Lady Cats went on a 9-point run to open the second quarter while attacking Spencervilles full-court press. The Lady Bearcats then scored the next five points to cut the lead back to one. Stockwell made two free throws for her 10th point of the first half, followed by a bank shot by Amanda Crider for Spencerville. Emilee Meyer had five points to lead the hosts at the halftime break, trailing 17-16. Stockwell continued her scoring outburst to open the third period scoring underneath on a wide-open shot and scoring again on a layup after a steal by the defense. See WILDCATS, page 7

Smith figures his game plan is simple. They want to play at a hightempo, high-scoring pace; they love to shoot the 3s in transition and push the ball, he explained. That means we have to get back in transition defense ourselves and take away those high-percentage looks, especially on the perimeter; if we let them run to their hearts content, it will be a long night for us. At the same time, we also want to push the ball because we want a higher tempo, too. For us, we need to do a good job on the boards, especially getting some second shots of our own to slow them down, get to the free-throw line and not give them uncontested shots. We know we cant match their skill level right now, so we have to out-tough them: make the hustle plays, get the loose balls, all of those things. My kids have been very business-like this week and fully expect to come out a winner (tonight).
That remains the goal every night for Smith and his Wildcats. We have played a few teams that, on paper, were the underdogs and a few teams that we are probably favored. Thats why weve played a lot of close games, he added. These kids work hard and compete every night out. When you look at our losses, none of them have been to slouches: Crestview is unbeaten and leads the NWC; Columbus Thompson Grove is at the top of the PCL; Fort Recovery leads the MAC; Perry is near the top of the NWCC; Paulding is 12-4. Weve had some good wins, especially Kalida and Ottoville, which the way the latter is playing now looks better and better. What hurts us is that most very team we plays has at least a couple of kids playing at a high level of AAU: for example, Crestview has six. That means they are playing 9-10 months a Jettinghoff year. For us to compete with that type of talent says something about our kids.
(Continued from page 6) S. Hyre and L. Monnin led the hosts with 10 each. For the Jays (10-7, 2-6), Colleen Schulte notched six. The Jays visit Ottoville 6 p.m. Saturday.

Meyer hit a triple and Merriman hit a free throw and the lead was back to one. Goergens heated up by scoring five points around a bucket by Megan Miller for Spencerville. Hannah Sensibaugh got in the scoring column with a basket in the lane but Grigsby added a pair from the charity stripe to keep Spencerville within four points. A steal with Spencerville in a fullcourt press by Merriman and pass ahead to Purdy for the layin made it a 28-26 game with 1:41 left in the quarter. Jeffersons Jasmine McDougall had a nifty spin move in the paint for a bucket on the inbounds play from the side when the third stanza ended. The Lady Cats outhustled Spencerville at both ends of the floor to go on a 13-0 run to open the final quarter
and forced a timeout by Coach Pughsley with 4:22 remaining in the game. The Lady Bearcats never recovered with Jefferson outscoring them 20-10 in the final eight for a 50 to 36 victory. Long-time Jefferson JV coach Jamie Lewis was filling in for head coach Dave Hoffman and said after the game that Spencerville came out and battled to open the game. It took our girls a while to respond to their pressure. We started finding holes in the defense in the third quarter and our team gained confidence. Pughsley also had the same opinion of the game: We had great defensive pressure against a good team tonight. When we got down by 6-8 points, we lost some confidence and lost some energy. When we made a steal, we got that energy back but we just couldnt hold onto it. Jefferson was led in scoring by
Stockwell with 20 points and Goergens added 12. Spencerville, meanwhile, had one player in double digits as Meyer scored 11. Jefferson committed 22 turnovers against the Bearcat pressure and Spencerville had 18. On the glass, Spencerville grabbed 18 rebounds, while Jefferson pulled down 15. Spencerville has four regular-season games remaining and will take on Perry Saturday night. Jefferson has a total of three games left in the regular season with Ottoville being their next contest on Monday, followed by Ft. Jennings on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republicans narrowly blocked the advance of legislation to restore benefits for the long-term unemployed on Thursday for the second time in less than a month, and Democrats said they intended to call yet another vote on the issue. Were one Republican vote away from restoring unemployment benefits for 1.7 million Americans, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said. The White House called the outcome disappointing. The measure called for a three-month renewal of an expired program that provided up to 47 weeks of federal benefits when state-paid aid runs out, generally after 26 weeks. The cost was estimated at slightly more than $6 billion over a decade. It would have been offset by lowering pension obligations for some companies, a step that would have increased their taxable income. The vote was 58-40, two shy of the 60 that backers of the measure needed to prevail. That understated the measures true support, because Reid sided with opponents at the last minute in a maneuver that will permit him to have the issue reconsidered under the Senates rules.
tion, in which the Nuland and Pyatt voices also discuss their opinion of various Ukrainian opposition figures. In the audio, voices resembling those of Nuland and Pyatt discuss international efforts to resolve Ukraines ongoing political crisis. At one point, the Nuland voice colorfully suggests that the EUs position should be ignored. Fthe EU, the female voice said. An aide to Russian deputy prime minister, Dmitry Rogozin, was among the first to tweet about the YouTube video, which shows photos of Nuland and Pyatt and is subtitled in Russian. In the tweet, posted some seven hours before existence of the video became widely known on Thursday, the Rogozin aide, Dmitry Loskutov, opined: Sort of controversial judgment from Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland speaking about the EU. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki did not dispute the authenticity of the recording and said that Nuland had apologized to European Union officials for her remarks. Psaki said, however, that Moscows apparent role in publicizing the video was a new low in Russian tradecraft. The YouTube video was posted on Feb. 4 and is titled the Marionettes of Maidan in Russian. Maidan is the name of the main square in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, which has become the center of opposition protests. In the audio, Nuland and Pyatt discuss their views of various opposition figures and whether or not they should take positions in the government. The U.S. has repeatedly denied allegations, many of them from Russian officials, that it is taking sides in the Ukraine crisis and Psaki repeated that stance on Thursday.

Leno first departure came in 2009, when he was briefly replaced by Conan OBrien but reclaimed the show after a messy transition and OBriens lackluster ratings. In 09, he was moving to a prime-time show on NBC; this time hes out the door, and has said hell focus on comedy clubs and his beloved car collection. Looking sharp in a black suit and bright blue tie, Leno was greeted by an ovation from the VIP audience. The typically selfcontained comic betrayed a bit of nervousness, stumbling over a few lines in his monologue. He didnt trip over his opening line, though a final dig at his employer. Youre very kind, he told the audience. I dont like goodbyes. NBC does. Leno brought his show full circle with Billy Crystal, who was his first guest in May 1992 and his last guest Thursday. Crystal played ringmaster at one point, calling on Oprah Winfrey, Jack Black, Kim Kardashian, Carol Burnett and
others for a musical tribute to Jay with a Sound of Music song parody. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye. If Fallon tanks youll be back here next year, sang Jack Black. The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons contribution: Weve watched you when were weary. Your great success is called the big chin theory. In a videotaped segment, celebrities offered career advice to Leno. Why would I give a (expletive) about what he does. Hes a grown man, said Mark Walberg. President Barack Obama, like other politicians a favorite target of Lenos, struck back in his clip. Jay, youve made a whole lot of jokes about me over the years, but dont worry, Im not upset, Obama said, adding that he was making Leno the U.S. ambassador to Antarctica. Hope you have a warm coat, funnyman. Crystal sang Lenos praises during the show, saying the late-night host made America
feel a little better at bedtime and invoking his predecessor, Johnny Carson. Lenos Tonight tenure was second in length only to Carsons 30 years. You were handed the baton by one of the all-time greats. But once it was in your grasp, you ran the race, Crystal said. He and Leno, longtime friends, reminisced about the old days, with Leno recalling how Crystal and other comedians visiting his town, Boston, stayed in Lenos apartment. Youre calling it an apartment. Im calling it a bomb site, Crystal joked. Leno told how he was poised to make his network debut on Dean Martins show in 1974 when news came that President Richard Nixon had resigned in the Watergate scandal. Lenos appearance didnt happen. Making me the last guy screwed by Nixon, Leno said. Garth Brooks performed his touching song The Dance before Lenos farewell remarks. Now that I brought the room down, Leno joked, he asked Brooks to lighten it up.
Another Brooks song, Friends in Low Places, closed out the show. Its going to be difficult to not come in and do a show every day for our audience who has been so great to Jay, lamented Vickers, the executive producer. And also hard for this group of people (the staff) who have all been together for 22 years, said Vickers, who worked on Johnny Carsons Tonight before taking the top job with Leno. Leno, 63, said he plans to continue playing comedy clubs, indulging his passion for cars and doing such TV work as comes his way other than hosting on late-night. Its been a wonderful job. This is the right time to leave, he said last week, and make way for the next generation. Fallon, 39, starts his Tonight Feb. 17, with NBC hoping he rides the promotional wave of its Winter Olympics coverage the next two weeks. Closing his final show on Thursday, Leno gave a final shoutout. It was to his wife of more than 30 years, Mavis: Im coming home, honey!
Just as heart attack symptoms may differ between men and women, so do stroke risks. Now, the American Heart Association has issued its first guidelines for preventing strokes in women. They focus on birth control, pregnancy, depression and other risk factors that women face uniquely or more frequently than men do. The advice applies to patients like Denise Miller, who suffered a stroke last year that fooled doctors at two northeast Ohio hospitals before it was finally diagnosed at the Cleveland Clinic. She was 36 and had no traditional risk factors. There was nothing to indicate I was going to have a stroke, other than frequent migraines with aura dizziness or altered senses such as tingling, ringing ears or sensitivity to light, Miller said. These headaches are more common in women and the new guidelines issued Thursday flag them as a concern. Miller recovered but has some lingering numbness and vision problems. Each year, nearly 800,000 Americans have a new or recurrent stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel to the brain is blocked by a clot or bursts. Stroke is the third-leading cause of death for women and the fifth-leading cause for men. The key to surviving one and limiting disability is getting help fast, and recognizing symptoms such as trouble speaking, weakness or numbness in one arm, or drooping on one side of the face. Stroke risk rises with age, and women tend to live longer than men. Women are more likely to be living alone when they have a stroke, to have poorer recovery, and to need institutional care after one. Certain stroke risks are more common in women migraine with aura, obesity, an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, and metabolic syndrome a combo of problems including blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. General guidelines for stroke prevention currently focus on controlling blood pressure and diabetes, quitting smoking, more exercise and healthy diets. The new ones add gender-specific advice, said Dr. Cheryl Bushnell, stroke chief at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C. She led the panel that wrote the guidelines, published in Stroke, a Heart Association journal. Some highlights: BIRTH CONTROL PILLS: Women should be checked for high blood pressure before starting on oral contraceptives because the combination raises stroke risks. The risk is small but rises steeply in women ages 45 to 49. More than 10 million American women use birth control pills. PREGNANCY: Strokes are uncommon during pregnancy but the risk is still higher, especially during the last three months and soon after delivery. The big worry is preeclampsia, dangerously high blood pressure that can cause a seizure and other problems. It doubles the risk of stroke later in life and it quadruples the risk of high blood pressure after pregnancy, Bushnell said. Women with a history of high blood pressure before pregnancy should be considered for low-dose aspirin (around 81 milligrams) after the first three months of pregnancy, and calcium supplements anytime, to lower the risk of preeclampsia, the guidelines say. Pregnant women with very high blood pressure (160 over 110 and above) should be treated with medications, and treatment may be considered for those with moderately high blood pressure (150 to 159 over 100 to 109). Certain blood pressure medicines are not safe during pregnancy, the guidelines note. ASPIRIN: Its usually recommended for anyone who has already had a stroke unless the stroke was caused by bleeding rather than a clot, or if bleeding risk is a concern, Bushnell said. Aspirin also is often recommended for people with diabetes to lower the risk of stroke and other problems. A low-dose aspirin every other day can be useful to lower stroke risk in women 65 and older unless its benefit is outweighed by the potential for bleeding or other risks, the guidelines say. MIGRAINES: Women are four times more likely to have migraines than men, and they often coincide with hormone swings. Migraines alone dont raise the risk of stroke, but ones with aura do. Using oral contraceptives and smoking raise this risk even more, so the guidelines urge stopping smoking. IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT: Women over age 75 should be checked for atrial fibrillation. Doctors do this by taking a pulse or listening to the heartbeat. MENOPAUSE: Hormone therapy should not be used to try to prevent strokes. The new guidelines put womens issues on the table so more doctors talk about them, said Dr. Shazam Hussain, stroke chief at the Cleveland Clinic. Gender does make a difference. The medical community has neglected it for some time.
The majority of the check will go to schools $410,860 to Lincolnview, $141,407 to Vantage Career Center and $857,513 for Crestview. This is just the first of 20 annual payments in these amounts. Over the course of the 20-year period, Vantage will get $2.8 million, Lincolnview $8.2 million and Crestview $17.1 million. Hite pointed out, This is money that is going to go to local government funds and we cut local government funds at the state level to help balance the budget, so this is really for them and especially for our schools. When some of these checks come in for these schools, theyre discussing lowering their local tax rate, which is just fantastic. Although this was the first monthly payment from Iberdrola in lieu of taxes, the company has already spread donations around the area. Checks have gone to the Van Wert County Junior Fair, the Van Wert Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Van Wert County Historical Society, the Peony Pageant, Junior Achievement and several other organizations. Iberdrola established a scholarship fund at the Van Wert County Foundation and put together a training program with Vantage. Also, more than $2 million is paid annually to around 250 land owners who are part of the project. Probably the biggest partnership we
have had is with Vantage Career Center. We wanted some of the jobs from this project, the technicians, to be available for local people. So, we created the technician training program. We worked with Vantage to establish the curriculum that was relevant for industry employment. They began enrolling last fall and I think theyll be graduating the first students at the end of this spring, Litchfield shared. The business model for Iberdrola Renewables is to own and operate for the long term, so we want to do things from that perspective and build relationships with people in the community because we have people here for a long time. Litchfield reported that Blue Creek is operating pretty smoothly and since the cold weather has increased demand for electricity, the wind farm has been able to supply power on many of those frigid days. The wind farm has also been supplying electricity to Ohio State Universitys Columbus campus since November. The company also has a research agreement with the university to do projects associated with different aspects of wind energy. Iberdrola plans to continue with wind farm development in Ohio, according to Litchfield. We like the existing policy environment in Ohio. The laws that are in place now brought us here and focused our development from Indiana to Ohio,
so were working on developing some other projects nearby. On the eastern side of Van Wert County, a project (Continued from page 1) called the Dog Creek Wind Farm will connect to the same substation as Seven of our nine locations just launched this year, Blue Creek. Were trying to design Delany said. that to be a very cost-competitive Its a really great opportunity to get people working in the project, lowering the cost of energy by utilizing that infrastructure that is tough economies facing rural communities, Klevin said. For more information, visit www.digitalworksjobs.com/. there. And we have another project up in Putnam County. So we will keep working on those slowly but surely. Litchfield did not give a date for the beginning of either project but estimated that the goal is within the next three to four years.

But the new rules will help the FDA keep tabs on companies to make sure they are following the law. The rule would require manufacturers to provide data to the FDA proving that their formulas support normal physical growth and that ingredients are of sufficient quality.
