The weather also has been unfavorable for crops in Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia, Fisher said. It would still mean higher costs for Ohio companies who use the product for corn or ethanol. They will have to ship it in, said Natalie Lehn-er, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association, resulting in higher costs. "When it's in less of a supply, the price goes up. If you can't get it locally, you have to pay to bring it in by rail," Lehner said.

Lehner said those who can't produce corn will turn to soybeans, and may also have to use their crop insurance to recoup losses. Bush said it has been a challenging spring. He started planting two weeks ago, and had four dry days to work in the fields. He got his last seeds in Sunday. "Farmers are very resilient.

No one is more optimistic than the farmer could always be worse." ANTHONY BUSH Morrow County farmer Bush sits on the board of the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association and said some other members have not been as lucky some have no corn planted. The farmers will survive, Bush said. Most plan for bad crop seasons and have a risk management plan in place. "Farmers are very resilient," Bush said. "They deal with the weather every day.

Volunteers Matt Moore, Amy Pearce, Danielle Cook and Ashley Moore, of Springfield, and Ashlee Woodard, of Joplin, lift a section of wall Thursday at a destroyed home in Joplin. At least 126 people were killed and hundreds more injured when a tornado cut a destructive path through Joplin on Sunday evening.

The five were searching through a home where they said neighbors had not seen anyone since the tornado struck, ap News-Messenger reports RILEY TOWNSHIP A Pennsylvania man was killed early Thursday morning after a semitrailer driver swerved into the right eastbound lane of the Ohio Turnpike, striking the man's minivan and pushing it into a ditch. Thomas Wollett, 65, of Carnegie, was driving his 2006 Dodge Caravan east of U.S. 6, northeast of Fremont, at 1:46 a.m., when the minivan was struck by the semitrailer, troopers from the Milan Festival Continued from Page A1 "We've had some great times, and we've had some that weren't perfect," she said.

She was placed on the missing list after relatives called a hot line and posted Facebook messages saying she was missing.

Her son, Bill Adams, said he told authorities his mother was alive after he learned she was safe, yet she remained on their unaccounted-for list Thursday afternoon. Mike O'Connell, spokesman for the Missouri Department of Public Safety, said he wouldn't call Adams' listing a mistake and finding her is "a good thing." He urged other survivors to check the list and call if they see their names. The AP found Mike and Betty Salzer at a hotel being used by visiting journalists. "Well, for heaven's sakes," Betty Salzer, 74, said when the AP showed her the list. The couple have been staying at the hotel since their home was destroyed Sunday.

Betty Salzer said their names might have come from a Facebook message her daughter posted before they reached her Monday morning. Not all of the stories of the missing will end so well. Joplin City Manager Mark Rohr announced Thursday that the death toll had risen to 126. Some of their families waited Thursday for their remains to be released. One victim's funeral was scheduled for this morning in Galena, and other services were scheduled for the weekend.

But some of the bodies have yet to be identified. An- money will go to the four individuals who filed restitution claims after the vandalism took place. Smith said Boonie's case was very unique in that, at his original sentencing hearing, several community members stood up for him despite the pain he caused many family members of those buried at the cemetery. "You had a roomful of people go to bat for you," he said. "I have never seen it before, and haven't seen it since.

They are not here today, and I think they feel that you have wasted that chance you were given." Boonie and his attorney, Joel Kuhlman of Bowling Green, argued that going to prison would take away his opportunity to start a job he has lined up once he turns 18 and pursue his interest in the military. Smith denied those requests, saying he had told John E. "Jack" Hahn CLYDE: John E. "Jack" Hahn age 75 of Clyde passed away Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at The Bellevue Hospital. The son of the late John H.

Helene (Flood) Hahn, Jack was born June 15, 1935 in Elyria, Ohio. Jack's professional career for Columbia Gas began in 1953 as a meter reader before eventually becoming the Bellvue area manager. In 1995 he proudly retired from their engineering department after 41 years of service. Jack, a 1953 graduate of Elyria Catholic High School, proudly served in the U.S. Naval Reserve.

Of the many activities he dedicated his time to, a few of the most notable were: serving as a former member of the Bellevue Lions Club and Bellevue Rotary Club where he was a past president, spending time at the Elyria Elks Lodge and Sandusky Exchange Club, the former of which he was a past Exalted Ruler and the latter of which he was a board member, and serving as past president of the Lorain County Golf Association. Jack donated his time to the Sandusky Chamber of Commerce for many years to aid with their annual golf outing. Hunting and cooking made Jack happy, however, he enjoyed golfing the most with 2 holes in one to his credit. Survivors include his wife, Eleanor (Shairba) Hahn whom he married April 2, 1956 at St. Agnes Church, Elyria; daughters, Renee Carroll of Seattle, WA, Alicia (Robert) Crockett of Clyde, Deirdre Hahn of Tallasse, AL; grandchildren, Alex Harrington, Karly Lalonde, Hollie Lau, Sonny Crockett, Helene Hahn; great grandson, Charlie Lau and his sister Jo Ann Parron of Berlin Heights.

In addition to his parents his sons, John E. Hahn, Jr. and Benjamin Hahn preceded him in death. Friends will be received on Sunday, May 29, 2011 from Noon until a memorial service at 1:00 pm at Foos Klein Funeral Home, 318 S. Main Clyde.

Burial will be at St. Mary's Cemetery, Clyde at a later date.

The second stemmed from an incident in May, when he took his grandfather's truck without permission and drove into Clyde to visit a girl, despite being on probation and having his driver's license suspended. Boonie told Smith his thinking has changed dramatically since his most recent incarceration at the juvenile detention center, and he hopes to now turn his life around, finish high school, complete his court-order obligations and join the Army. "I was making decisions as a juvenile," he said. "All I have been thinking about is how to change my life. I am thinking I am ready to buckle down and do what I am required to do.

I have a future now, I believe." Cynthia Marie Ackerman FREMONT: Cynthia Marie Ackerman, 57, of Fremont died Wednesday morning at her residence. Cynthia was born July 14, 1953 in Fremont, OH, the daughter of Kenneth and Myrtle (Hausman) Ackerman. Cynthia attended Fremont Schools and was a member of Grace Lutheran Church.

TWITTER Follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com FremontNM Smith said he wished Boonie would have made that decision before taking the truck. He ordered the juvenile, who turns 18 on Monday, be sent to the Department of Youth Services for a minimum of six months, up to his 21st birthday, with credit for 90 days served at the juvenile detention center.

"It is up to how you long you end up staying there and when you get released," he said, citing a point system that allows juveniles to get out earlier for good behavior, participating in different programs and accomplishing goals while there. The judge also ordered Boonie pay a total of $1,327.21 in restitution. The City of Clyde is entitled to $1,000 of that total to pay half of their insurance deductible for repairs at the cemetery Monk has been ordered to pay the other half. The remainder of the woman misidentified one victim as her son in the chaotic hours after the tornado hit, Newton County coroner Mark Bridges said. "That's the reason why we didn't release anybody else until we at least had dental records," Bridges said.

A federal forensics team of 50 to 75 disaster mortuary specialists has been at work in six refrigerated trucks, collecting DNA samples for testing, taking fingerprints and looking for tattoos, body piercings, moles and other distinctive marks. Bridges expected as many as 19 bodies would be released Thursday. He said he's been explaining the reason for the delays to grieving families "all day long." "It breaks my heart," he said. Associated Press writer Alan Scher Zagier contributed to this report. what he needs," he said.

"I hope you will come out of the other end of this with all of those goals and opportunities you talked about intact." Email Mark Tower at mtowergannett.com. One of the 12 is Dorothy Hartman, an Alzheimer's patient. Pamela McBroom, 49, who lives near the nursing home, said one of her daughters used to work there, developed a soft spot for Hartman and introduced them. Hartman was frail "but very positive and full of life," she said. McBroom said she and her 16-year-old daughter were hiding in a closet when the tornado tore their walls and roof away.

Her walls gone, McBroom could see the mayhem at Greenbriar. "I could see people flying out of the nursing home by my house," McBroom said. "I could hear them screaming. Just screaming. It was horrible." Nursing home officials haven't said whether Hartman was one of the 11 killed.

Identification of the deceased has been slow because officials have taken extra precautions since a of his imprisonment. Smith said he hopes the prison term will not discourage Boonie from accomplishing the goals he has set in his life, including his interest in the military. "I think that is exactly drea Spillars, deputy director and general counsel of the Missouri Department of Public Safety, said officials know some of the people unaccounted for are dead, but she wouldn't say how many or when the names of the deceased would be released. Chris Haddock, 23, said his father was one of the deceased on the missing list. A commercial truck driver found 62-year-old Paul Haddock's body in his pickup truck behind a flattened Walmart.

"They found his wallet and his cell phone in his pocket," Chris Haddock said. "That's how they know it's him." In another example of potential overlap, 12 residents of the Greenbriar nursing home are on the missing list. But nursing home administrators reported earlier that 11 people died in the tornado; only one was known missing. Boonie several times in court that if he screwed up again he would go to prison. For the teen's own good, and to uphold the integrity of the court system, he needs to stand behind that, the judge said.

On each of the two speeding tickets, one from June and one from September, Smith ordered Boonie's driver's license be suspended for three months. He ordered fines and court costs be waived, so all Boonie's resources can go to pay the vandalism restitution. Smith also ordered Boonie complete the 4-H CARTEENS traffic safety program before his license can be reinstated. Boonie will be held at the juvenile detention center on a 90-day sentence from the probation violation until he can be transported to the Department of Youth Services, where he will serve the rest Brand new classified ads appearing for the first time today!
