‘To Comfort A King’ brings life to Biblical character

By COURTNEY DAKE CNA newsroom assistant cdake@crestonnews.com

“They searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl and found Abishag, a Shunamite, and brought her to the king. The girl was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him.” 1 Kings 1:3-4.

Author Debbie Gilliland sketches the life of Abishag from this Biblical passage in her historical fiction novel “To Comfort A King.”

Selected for her beauty, youth and caring nature, Abishag leaves her village life for the world of the royal palace to tend to King David at the end of his life. With little choice, Abishag says goodbye to her father, deaf sister, younger brother and Joseph, her betrothed.

Upon arrival at the palace, Abishag is sent immediately to the king’s chambers, where she is greeted by Queen Bethsheba

and introduced to the king, who is anxious to die in peace.

Abishag’s soft touch and warm heart slowly tears down the king’s facade and an intimate friendship forms.

Abishag perseveres through ridicule from palace concubines and advances by King David’s son Adonijah to fulfill the responsibility she has come to love.

Journey with Abishag as she steps into the unknown and sees a future she never thought possible.

—————— About the Author Debbie Gilliland was born and raised in Mount Ayr. Her husband’s name is Mike. She has three children and eight grandchildren.

Dedication Gilliland dedicated the book to her high Gilliland

school English teacher and mentor Merlin Wilkins, who died in 2012.

“He remained a lifetime friend (after high school),” said Gilliland.

The two also connected because Gilliland grew up in church and Wilkins was a minister.

“The idea of the book was actually his,” said Gilliland. “He said, ‘You outta look at these verses (1 Kings 1:1-4) and see if you can write a book about it.’”

When Gilliland finished writing “To Comfort A King,” it was Wilkins who encouraged her to send it to a publisher.

“I can’t say enough good things about him,” said Gilliland.

Where to find the book The eBook is available now at amazon. com and barnesandnoble.com. The paperback published by Ambassador International will be released April 28. Copies of the book may be pre-ordered at amazon. com and barnesandnoble.com.

Senate sends social host legislation to governor DES MOINES (MCT) — Hosts who knowingly allow minors to consume alcoholic beverages on their property could face a $200 misdemeanor fine under a bill approved Thursday by the Iowa Senate and sent to Gov. Terry Branstad for his consideration.

Sen. Rob Hogg, DCedar Rapids, chairman of the Senate Ju- Branstad diciary Committee and floor manager of Senate File 2310, said Thursday’s action represented “a major victory in the fight against underaged drinking.”

Hogg said he hoped the bill would help lower the number of young people who drive under the influence of alcohol by cracking down on adults who allow those

Before passing the bill, senators approved House changes that removed 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds from the bill

and exempted landlords from the provisions.

The bill also does not preempt local governments from passing tougher ordinances.

There currently are 22 counties and 26 cities in Iowa that have ordinances

barring adults from hosting events where alcohol is illegally consumed by underage persons.

ENTERTAINMENT

Stay mellow and bring some pillows Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about guests complaining when staying at someone’s house: “I don’t like it when people complain about accommodations when staying at other people’s houses. Instead of complaining about free accommodations, why don’t you do something nice for your host? You are not entitled to complain about old pillows, etc., as a guest in someone else’s home. When you go to stay in another person’s home, stop by a discount retail store and buy four new pillows as gifts. You can improve the next guest’s experience, give thanks for your host’s hospitality and have new pillows yourself. A Reader, via email” When you are a guest, you should NOT complain! This is not a hotel, and your “reservation” does not include the right to complain about the accommodations. Say “thank you,” and think about how you would feel if someone staying in your home complained. - Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are travel essentials to take on your next trip:

Hints from Heloise •A pillowcase.

• A first-aid kit.

• A travel alarm clock.

•A small sewing kit.

• A small flashlight and batteries.

Needless to say, she’s having a difficult time getting it off. Your suggestions will be appreciated! - Bob, via email Bob, I am happy to help you and your wife! First thing is to try some sort of lubricant to remove the ring: dish soap,

If her finger is swollen, try to reduce the swelling by soaking her hand in cold water or using an ice pack and elevating the hand above the head.

Another trick to try is to wrap the finger with thread or dental floss. Slide one end under the ring and then wrap the finger tightly with the thread going up past the knuckle, compressing the finger slightly. - Heloise SNOW CLEAN Dear Heloise: After a snowstorm, cars will bring road dirt, snow and ice into the garage. After the snow and ice melt, it leaves a black mess. You can always use a mop and water to clean it up, but I have an easier way, using a broom, a large dustpan BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker and snow. Get a pan full of snow and spread it on the road dirt. Swish it around.

The snow easily picks up the dirt, and you can put it back into the pan and discard outside. Repeat until all the black dirt is gone. It is quicker and easier than mopping with water, because snow does not spread like water does. - Walt B., Columbus, Ohio (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope Tuesday, April 15, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. Be patient, because this can create stress between you and partners and close friends.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Practice patience with coworkers today, because the Full Moon heightens everyone’s emotions. This is why people are inclined to overreact or take things personally.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Relations with children plus romantic liaisons are stressed because of today’s Full Moon.

Just take a deep breath and continue forward.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Domestic arguments might take place because of today’s Full Moon. Everyone feels increased tension and heightened emotions.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day because of the energy of today’s Full Moon. An accident doesn’t have to occur, but if people are emotionally distracted, well, there you have it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today’s Full Moon might bring things to a financial head. You might have to choose between your own financial interests and those of someone else.

Ideally, wait until tomorrow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Naturally this will create some stress and tension when dealing with others. Be cool.

Chill out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The Full Moon today is taking place in the hidden part of your chart, which could make you feel vaguely uncomfortable. Don’t worry; this feeling will be gone in 48 hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Difficulties with female acquaintances, especially in groups, might take place because of today’s Full Moon.

Try to postpone important discussions until tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a poor day to go toe to toe with an authority figure (boss, parent, teacher, VIP or the police). It’s the Full Moon, which means people are emotionally tense. Choose another time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This can be an accident-

prone day for you, so think twice before you speak or do anything. Guard against kneejerk reactions or blurting out a response. Easy does it.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your concern about shared property, inheritances and insurance disputes might come to a head today because of the Full Moon. Actually, this is a poor day to settle matters. At least wait until tomorrow.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a vivid imagination, and you are well organized - an

interesting combination! You understand structure and how to give shape to things. At times, you can inspire others. You’re an excellent planner and problem-solver. This year is a time of accumulation, and it might be one of the most powerful years of your life. What you gain, you gain through effort. Dream big!

Wolfe breaks 46-year-old meet record at Clarinda Panthers third in 3A, Raiders win 1A

By SCOTT VICKER

Schlapia said it was nice to see the kids competing hard all night, even in the JV events.

“It was nice to see our boys go out there and compete,” he said. “It was a good night by all 18 that we had there.”

Creston returns to action Tuesday at Chariton before hosting the Panther Relays on Thursday, on the last night for Drake Relays qualifying.

National Digest

2nd for Bubba AUGUSTA, GA — Bubba Watson put on the second green jacket of his career on Sunday after he finished 8-under-280 for a three-shot victory at Augusta National.

Watson, who won back in 2012, held off Jonas Blixt and Jordan Spieth, who both finished 5-under, for another magical ceremony at Augusta.

Watson becomes the 17th golfer to have at least two Masters championships and the ninth to own two green jackets.

Adam Scott finished 1-over-289 in his quest to become the fourth person to win back-to-back titles. Tiger Woods was the last person to do it (2001 & 2002) which put him in the same company as Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo.

After leading on the first day of the tournament, Bill Haas finished 2-over-290. Rory McIlroy finished even and was 3-under-288.

Pacquio wins LAS VEGAS —Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2) defeated Timothy Bradley (31-1) by unanimous decision at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas on Saturday night, to capture the WBO welterweight championship.

Judges Craig Metcalfe and Michael Pernick scored the fight 116-112, while Glenn Trowbridge had the fight at 118-110 in favor of Pac-Man. The 35-year-old Pacquiao landed 198 of 563 punches for 35 percent while the 30-year-old Bradley connected on 141 of 627 punches for 22 percent. Pacquiao also was effective with the jab, landing 23 percent compared to Bradley’s 11 percent.

Pacquiao’s victory avenges a 2012 loss, in which Bradley won by a controversial spilt-decision.

Defense highlights AMES — With the Cyclones’ spring game in the books, there just might be reason for optimism in Ames after a 3-9 season last fall.

There were strong performances abound in Saturday’s spring game, starting with quarterback Grant Rohach. The sophomore led the Cyclones on three scoring drives and passed for 171 yards.

But the surprise of the day was the defense that finished dead last in the Big 12 last season. With 12 sacks and two interceptions in the spring game, head Coach Paul Rhoads was impressed with his defensive unit.

“With a limited playbook, I thought it would favor the offense, quite honestly,” said head coach Paul Rhoads. “The defense really stepped up and played together.

They played with energy and performed well.”

Iowa State opens its 2014 football season August 30th against North Dakota State.

CLARINDA — Creston junior Jay Wolfe broke a 46-year-old meet record at the Cardinal Relays here Friday, helping to lead the Panthers to a third-place finish in the Class 3A team standings.

Mount Ayr easily won Class 1A, while Southwest Valley finished fifth in Class 2A. Lenox finished 13th in Class 1A. Wolfe, who had earlier in the night won the Class 3A 400 meter dash in 50.92 seconds, stole the show by running away from the field in the 800 meters, clocking a time of 1:57.92.

That performance broke a record set in 1968 by Jerome Howe of Treynor, who ran 1:58.2.

“That’s a major highlight,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “When the former record holder goes by the name of Jerome Howe, that’s one of those names if you’re a track person, you just know.

“He was not only a state champion for Treynor, but he’s in the Iowa track hall of fame and was an outstanding runner for Kansas. He was an Olympic alternate in the 1,500 in 1972. When you have a track meet named after you, that’s a very special record Jay was able to break.”

Wolfe’s time currently places him 12th in the state for Drake Relays qualifying.

The top 16 in the 800 meters qualify for Drake.

Creston junior Jay Wolfe cruises around the first turn during the 400 meter dash Friday at the Cardinal Relays in Clarinda. Wolfe won the event, running 50.92 seconds. He also broke a 46-year-old meet record in the 800 meters, running 1:57.92.

Senior Brandon Phipps won two gold medals for the Panthers, leading a distance double sweep for the Panthers.

Phipps won both the 3,200 meters and the 1,600 meters, while sophomore teammate Cooper McDermott placed second in both events.

Phipps ran 10:08.17 to win the 3,200 and McDermott crossed the line in 10:21.07.

“We didn’t run the 4x8 and we gave those four regulars a chance to run in some other events,” Schlapia said.

the get go. That was a good first time for those guys in the 3,200.”

Senior Maxx Walters placed in a pair of individual events, finishing fourth in both the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash. Walter clocked times of 11.64 seconds for the 100 and 23.71 for the 200.

“He was right there in the hunt in that 100 meter dash with the leaders,” Schlapia said. “Since this was the first time he ran it, he wasn’t in the fast heat. That was nice to see him jump all the way to fourth.”

Trevor Luther placed fourth in the discus throw with a toss of 121-7 and sophomore Chris Foster finished fifth in the high jump, clearing 5-4, to give the Panthers points out of the field events.

Creston also placed in the 4x200 relay with the team of Alex Tamerius, Bryce Briley, Foster and Seth Maitlen and in the 4x400 with the team of Briley, Walters, Phipps and Wolfe.

The 4x400 relay took five seconds off its time from Tuesday’s meet at Glenwood.

Mount Ayr easily picked up the team championship in Class 1A with 138 points, outscoring second-place East Mills with 101 points.

The Raiders won seven events for the night in Class 1A, including junior Joe Ricker taking first place in both the shot put and the discus.

The Mount Ayr 4x800 relay team of Jack Jones, Noah Larsen, Erik Freed and Kyle Dolecheck improved by 10 seconds, running the fifth-fastest time in school history.

Also earning spots in the school’s all-time top five on the performance list were the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams.

The Raiders went one and two in the 400 meter dash with senior Jacob Sobotka winning, followed by Rhett Murphy. Grant Staats, running the 110 high hurdles for just the second time in his career, won the event in 16.72 seconds.

Youth rec soccer springs into new season

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Southern Prairie YMCA and Creston Park and Recreation Department have collaborated for a significant change in the city’s youth soccer program.

For many years, the Bill Sears Complex was a beehive of soccer activity on autumn Saturdays for youngsters ranging from kindergarten through middle school.

That was the city’s recreational team program. In the spring, the YMCA offered a soccer clinic, emphasizing skills development over

competition.

Gradually over time, flag football started to catch on with younger age groups, while at the same time youth tackle football gained a stronghold throughout the area. Soon, parents were left with choices to make regarding Saturdays, and soccer participation numbers were diminishing.

Mark Huff, city park and recreation director, saw a solution. There was a sliver of “open” time on parents’ activity calendar in the early spring, just before the youth softball and baseball programs got into the heart of their busy schedules.

It coincided with the tra-

ditional YMCA soccer clinics.

“Mark said their numbers had been dropping for the fall season, and we talked about bringing our programs together,” said Cody Hudson, youth sports and aquatics director at Southern Prairie YMCA. “Our camps that we do are geared more toward development, and not so much competition,” Hudson said.

“This way, we could still have that learning situation for the kids, but go right into the (city’s) team competition if they choose to do Please see SOCCER, page 7A

Panther girls second at triangular ADEL — Sophomore Madison Hance shot a 46 as runner-up medalist to lead Creston/O-M to a strong second-place finish in triangular action Friday at River Valley Golf Course.

The Panthers shot 218 to finish seven strokes behind ADM’s winning score of 211. Gilbert was third at 260.

Sarah Waigand’s 52 was Creston/O-M’s second-best score. Medalist Lexi Owen of ADM shot 45.

“We had all five girls golfing Friday evening and

competed very well,” said Creston assistant coach Kristopher “Kritter” Hayes.

“River Valley is a tough course and the girls handled it with poise and really enjoyed themselves. It was nice having all of them together, which seldom happens because of our dual sport athletes. They battled out there against a traditionally tough ADM squad.

Slumping Spartans hope for a home spark FORT DODGE — Too many unearned runs.

That’s what cost Southwestern in a softball doubleheader loss to second-place Iowa Central. The games were played a day early because of the forecast for weekend rain.

Iowa Central improved to 11-3 in the ICCAC, trailing only Kirkwood’s 15-1, and 32-9 overall by extending its winning streak to six games.

The slumping road trip left the Spartans at 11-16 overall and 5-11 for sixth place in the conference. Southwestern went 0-6 on the road trip against Southeastern, Kirkwood and Iowa Central to fall to 1-11 on the road.

Southwestern had seven errors for the day, which overshadowed hitting advantages of 11-10 in each contest over the Tritons in losses of 10-4 and 7-6.

In the second contest

Southwestern built a 4-3 lead before the Tritons scored four runs in the fifth and sixth to hold on for the win.

“We gave up a lot of unearned runs, and we left enough runners on base to win both games,” SWCC coach Lindsay Stumpff said.

“We left 17 runners on base in the first game. It’s frustrating when your pitcher is having a good game and you can’t execute behind them.”

There was plenty of offense in both games for the Spartans.

Hannah Murphy was 4-of-5 in the first game and Danielle McIntosh was 3-3 Murphy in taking the pitching loss. Emma Ferrin hit a

double and two singles.

In game two, Ferrin was 2-4 with a home run. After stroking two hits in the opener, Brooke Wolf belted a double in the second game.

Molly Schimp was 3-3 and McIntosh and Ashley Gibbs each finished with two hits.

Sam Strand took the loss in game two.

The Spartans were set to get back on track with two non-conference doubleheaders today and Tuesday, but today’s games at Graceland were cancelled because of wet grounds.

The Spartans’ first home games in two weeks are scheduled against Simpson JV at 3 p.m. Tuesday, if conditions allow.

“I know we got a lot of rain, but our field was really dry and we’re hopeful we can get that in,” Stumpff said. “We would like to get home and get back on track.”

that. We thought it would be a good partnership.”

Dual purpose So, each age group on Saturdays includes an optional 30-minute soccer camp prior to that age group’s games.

Youths could register for only the camps ($30 each except $20 for preschool), only the games ($20) or both for a fee of $40.

All of the soccer activity is held at the soccer fields across the street north of the ballfields, so soccer goals don’t have to be placed on those fields anymore as softball and baseball teams hold practices for their upcoming seasons.

“Last fall we really started to notice our fall soccer numbers were dropping,” Huff said. “There were so many conflicts with flag football and padded tackle football. Coaches, and kids, were pulled too many directions trying to get to everything. I called the Y and said I was thinking of going to spring, and I knew they

had camps in the spring. I thought it would be better to combine our programs, rather than try to have two separate ones at the same time of the year.”

The program began April 5 with both camps and games held each Saturday through April 26. While the camps conclude then, games continue on Saturdays through May 10.

“The first Little League games start around May 15, and we’ll be done, so this has worked out pretty smooth,” Huff said. “We know there are some kids playing Wildfire (club) soccer in the spring, and we may not get all of them in our program in the spring, but combining our programs should make it better.”

Hudson said turnout has been strong, considering there wasn’t much notice to families that the change was taking place this year.

“For the older groups, I know there’s Wildfire and some other things going on,” Hudson said, “but I was pleasantly surprised

that we had 30 sign up for the preschool camp, and the 56 kids in the the K-1 camp is a great number.”

There are eight teams competing on Saturdays in the kindergarten-first grade division, four teams in second-third grades and two teams in fourth-sixth grades.

There are 30 youths participating in the secondthird grade camp and 18 in the fourth-sixth grade camp.

“The good thing about this is, soccer is a sport that’s played in the spring in high school, so now by combining with the Y, we’re getting them used to the idea of playing that sport in the spring,” Huff said.

The schedule of camps and games by age division, all at the Bill Sears Complex on Clark Street:

and boys both travel to Winterset Tuesday along with the host Huskies and Clarke of Osceola.

EACH MEMORIAL DAY, this Creston couple places a bouquet of red, white and blue flowers on the graves of veterans who don’t have any at all. librarian and John is a longtime social studies teacher in Creston, so we’re both fascinated with history — especially American history — and cemeteries have so many life stories.”

A trumpeter playing taps concluded the program at Graceland Cemetery. The group in attendance scattered in different directions to visit loved ones.

“After the program, we always wander around the cemetery,” John said. “We don’t have any family in Graceland Cemetery, but we do have friends. As we wandered around, that particular year we began noticing many veterans didn’t have flowers on their graves.”

Lynne recalls the feeling that gave them both.

“It was really sad to see nothing on their graves,” she

said. “They probably don’t have any family that live in the Creston area anymore.”

So, from that day forward, the Schlahts decided to honor at least some of those veterans each year by placing flowers next to their grave.

“We just thought it would be a nice gesture to honor and thank them on Memorial Day,” John said. “All of them sacrificed something for this country. ... After we placed flowers the first year, we wanted and felt like we needed to do it again the next year.”

So, that’s what they’ve done.

Each year Lynne finds enough red, white and blue artificial flowers to make 35 to 40 bouquets. She finds the Please see SCHLAHTS, Page 2

Keynote speaker for Creston’s Memorial Day programs will be Sen. Joni Ernst

Creston area leaders in the areas of education and economic development met Tuesday to discuss the viability for establishing a learning center in Southwest Iowa.

The learning center would provide diagnostic and tutoring services to students with learning differences and disabilities and offer resources to families impacted by learning disabilities such as dyslexia, discalculia, dysgraphia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and related issues.

The purpose of the proposed learning center, which would work in partnership with local school districts, is to ease the logistical and financial burden of accessing necessary resources to improve the learning experience for students with learning differences.

The proposed site has yet to be determined, but it would most likely be established in Creston.

The proposed learning center will be based on the success of other similar nonprofit learning centers.

Suzanne Johnston, who is an employee of Iowa State University and been involved with the planning from the start, said she has spent “hours and hours learning” about working memory issues, auditory delays and learning disabilities in an effort to help her own daughter.

Johnston said, after families pay for gas, $250 in diagnostic fees and $50 per session, Please see LEARNING, Page 2

DAYTON (MCT) — Investigators believe they found the blood of a missing teenager on the body of her kidnapper, on his truck and at a northern Iowa hog confinement facility where he took two girls Monday afternoon, officials said Thursday.

Kathlynn Shepard, 15, of Dayton, was still missing Thursday evening after she and a friend were abducted Monday by Michael J. Klunder, a registered sex offender described by a retired police chief as a “pure sociopath.”

Officials confirmed Thursday that Klunder, who was found dead around 8 p.m.

Monday, had hanged himself.

Blood was found on Klunder’s body, on the tailgate of his Toyota Tundra pickup and on two buildings at a hog confinement facility where Klunder worked, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Bill Kietzman said at a news conference Thursday afternoon.

The blood had not yet been tested to determine if it is Kathlynn’s, he said.

“We’re going to make a logical assumption that it is her blood,” Kietzman said. “There’s no reason to think it’s anyone else’s.”

The search for Kathlynn will continue Friday, but each day that passes leaves less

ohn and Lynne Schlaht of Creston stand sideby-side at Graceland Cemetery nearly one decade ago. It is morning. The grass below their feet is freshly cut, a little wet, and in the stillness of the cemetery the most recognizeable sounds are American flags flapping in the wind.

It’s Memorial Day. Like past years, the Schlahts are attending the Memorial Day program at Graceland Cemetery. A small group of people gather with them. The group says the Pledge of Allegiance together and listens to the keynote speaker.

Ohio finds probable link between fracking, quakes New rules require companies to install “sensitive seismic monitors” ■

(MCT) — Ohio geologists have found a probable connection between fracking and several mild earthquakes in a region that had never experienced a temblor until recently, according to a state report.

The report, which coincided with Ohio’s announcement of some of the nation’s strictest limits on fracking near faults, marked the strongest link to date between nerve-rattling quakes and hydraulic fracturing _ the process of firing water, sand and chemicals deep into the earth to extract oil and natural gas from ancient rock.

Last month, the state indefinitely shut down Hilcorp Energy Co.’s fracking operation near the Pennsylvania border after five earthquakes, including one magnitude 3 temblor that shook many Ohioans awake.

Federal scientists have previously linked earthquakes in part to the use of injection wells, where post-fracking wastewater is forced back deep into the earth for storage.

None of the seven wells near the Ohio quakes were used for waste disposal, leaving Ohio scientists to go a step further to find a significant relationship between the initial blast of fluid and the earthquakes shortly thereafter.

They “believe the sand and water injected into the well during the hydraulic fracturing process may have increased pressure on an unknown microfault in the

area,” the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said in a statement about the operation in Poland, Ohio.

The new rules require companies to install “sensitive seismic monitors” before beginning to drill sideways into underground rock “within 3 miles of a known fault or area of seismic activity greater than a 2.0 magnitude.”

Humans can generally feel earthquakes in excess of magnitude 3.

Drilling would be suspended pending investigation whenever the monitors detect anything above magnitude 1.

“While we can never be 100 percent sure that drilling activities are connected to a seismic event, caution dictates that we take these new steps to protect human health, safety and the environment,” department Director James Zehringer said.

Data gathered by the monitors would be used to improve fault maps, he said.

Hilcorp Energy said that it was reviewing the new permitting rules and that it remained “fully committed to public safety and acting in a manner consistent with being a good corporate citizen.”

Officials from Ohio and several other states that have seen an increase in seismic activity met recently to discuss how to handle the expansion of fracking to new beds of rock, where faults might not be well mapped.

Gerry Baker, associate executive director of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, called Ohio’s new rules a “sensible response to a serious issue that regulators across the country are closely examining.”

Oklahoma, Texas, Arkan-

sas and Kansas have been among those seeing the largest surges in seismic activity.

Critics of fracking have long warned of a possible connection between earthquakes and the expanded drilling for oil and gas in shale deposits. They have also raised concerns about possible groundwater contamination by fracking chemicals.

Ray Beiersdorfer, a Youngstown State University geology professor whose wife co-founded Frackfree America, said the new regulations mirrored what he had been seeking.

He has asked Ohio officials to make public the data they used to find the connection as well as set the new restrictions.

“The whole problem is no one knows about these faults until the earthquakes happen because the faults haven’t been researched,” he said.

Oil and gas companies have tended to avoid the well-known fault lines in Ohio, according to the industry publication Natural Gas Intelligence.

But industry leaders maintained there is scant evidence that fracking causes earthquakes and labeled the temblors isolated incidents.

At Hilcorp’s site directly above last month’s earthquakes, the state has banned further fracking but has allowed wells already fracked to resume operating.

“This is also expected to have the beneficial effect of reducing underground pressure and decreasing the likelihood of another seismic event,” the state said.
