Relay contest for the girls
BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com DELPHOS For the 2012 Delphos Relay for Life, committee members wanted to find a fun and upbeat way to help promote breast cancer awareness. What better way to support the girls than a decorated brassiere? Chairwoman Cindy Metzger and the rest of the committee are launching the first-ever Decorate the Girls decorated bra contest, which encourages participants to decorate a bra and give it an appropriate name or slogan. This is our way of taking something thats awkward to talk about and trying to have a little fun, while still raisDelphos, Ohio ing money and awareness, Metzger said. A few of us attended a Relay summit in Pittsburgh and they were all kind of throwing out ideas for events and fund-raisers and the decorated bra contest was one that was mentioned. There are other communities that are doing it, too. Its a fun way to bring awareness to it and stress the importance of mammograms. Theres another contest called decorate the boxers, which is the same thing but for colon cancer. That might be something youll see in future Delphos relays. For those interested in decorating a bra for the contest, See THE GIRLS, page 2

Woman takes plunge in to canal in car

Police seek help on drugged driving

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The federal government should help police departments nationwide obtain the tools and training needed to attack a rising scourge of driving under the influence, two U.S. senators said Sunday. Sens. Charles Schumer of New York and Mark Pryor of Arkansas proposed that federal funding in a pending transportation funding bill be used for research and to train police. They said police have no equipment and few have training in identifying drugged drivers, who dont show the same outward signs of intoxication as drunken drivers do, such as slurred speech. Cops need a Breathalyzerlike technology that works to identify drug-impaired drivers on-the-spot before they cause irreparable harm,

A Delphos woman was transported to a local hospital after her car took a plunge in to the Miami-Erie Canal Sunday evening. Delphos Fire and Rescue were called to the scene at approximately 8 p.m. Sunday and found Kelli Saine, 46, of Delphos, had attempted to park her vehicle along the canal behind 311 1/2 N. Main St. when she misjudged the bank edge and drove into the canal. Saine was transported to the hospital by Delphos EMS. Her condition is unknown.

Schumer said. With the explosive growth of prescription drug abuse its vital that local law enforcement have the tools and training they need to identify those driving under the influence of narcotics to get them off the road. Drugged driving arrests have risen 35 percent in New York since 2001, Schumer said. He said thats a fraction See DRUGGED, page 3 Above: 2012 Laws of Life winners from St. Johns High School are, from left, top school winner Julia Dickman and runners-up Kelsey Brit and Chelsea Wellmann.

Information submitted

Parents and students filled the All Saints Building at St. Johns following a kickoff Mass in celebration of Catholic Schools Week. Visitors could look at displays, participate in games and get a preview of the History Fair set today. Other activities this week include writing thank-you letters to parents, dressing as a religious figure and Student Appreciation Day.

Delphos St. Johns Schools

At St. Johns, we are proud of our heritage, and we are even more proud of our tradition of education being based on three key principles: Faith, Academics and Service. As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week this week, we celebrate all of the Blue Jays who have impacted their world with the lessons that they learned here at home. Just as it was when our parish school opened over 150 years ago, in 2012 we know the importance of faith, academics and service to others

For The Record

some things about some of the survivors having a hard time walking on that hard cement sidewalk. Im always amazed at the survivor lap, by how many people are out there walking in those purple shirts and the age range, too. You have grandparents, small children and people in between. I dont really know how it is in other areas but this area seems to get a lot of cancer cases. Every time you turn around it seems like someone you know is diagnosed. Metzger says one of the best things about the Relay is that all of the money raised stays local. They say the money will stay local and it really does, she said. Ive seen the research and the results from the American Cancer Society and it goes to local families. The Relay is so important. People who were given a death sentence 10 years ago are living today because of the research the Relay helps fund. Since this years Decorate the Girls contest is the first, there is no entry fee. However, Metzger says the committee reserves the right to auction the bras off if they feel more funds are needed.

(Continued from page 1)

Metzger says there are only a few guidelines to consider. The committee reserves the right to reject any bra theme that is inappropriate or explicit, she said. You can find some decorated bras online from similar events and there are a lot of really funny and clever ones out there but some would be inappropriate for us to use. I made an example bra for people to look at if they dont really know what were looking for. The slogan I used is friends hold each other up. You can use any size, style, color or design of bra, youre only limited by your imagination. Wed like to create some categories to help people get creative, like a sports category or a superhero category, she added. We havent nailed down exact categories yet. The deadline for entry is March 16 and that should give us plenty of time to display them in businesses around town so people can vote for the Peoples Choice award in time for the BRA-vo dinner and comedy night in April at the Eagles. This years relay will be a week later than usual, taking place June 22-23. Metzger said she is relieved the renovations to the Jefferson High School track are finished. The school was nice enough to let us use the track this year, which is great because this year marks the tenth anniversary of the relay, she said. It wasnt bad last year but I had heard

The main thing with this event is to raise awareness and to also help benefit the Relay by raising money, she said. Its the first time were doing this, so if we feel it didnt raise enough money we may auction the bras off. Were working on getting some other things to auction off, like weekend getaway packages. Were also trying to line up a comedian or hypnotist for the entertainment. There will be a panel of judges, too, for the bra entries. They will be unbiased people from outside the community. Were looking at oncology doctors or maybe an employee from Victorias Secret. Individuals, groups or businesses interested in entering the contest can pick up entry forms at First Federal Bank.

Local contests are sponsored by an individual or organization concerned with the character development of young people. In 1977 The Lima Area Laws of Life Essay Contest was brought to the Lima area and continues to be sponsored by The AR-HALE Family Foundation (Leo and Arlene Hawk and Family). The Foundation funds the awards that are given to the students and teachers and other expenses that sustain the event. Hawk decided to bring the program to the Lima area after attending a similar event

Teachers of the top three winning students also received special awards: Elaine Bradley, teacher of Brooke Rudasill, Bath; Greg Douglass, teacher of Billy Taflinger, Lima Central Catholic; and Stephanie Miller, teacher of Jacob Lawrence, Allen East. Teacher support is critical to the success of this program and I appreciate that support.

More kids wanted for summer food program

By KANTELE FRANKO The Associated Press COLUMBUS Ohio education and food program officials want to increase the number of children in lowincome areas who participate in a program that offers them free breakfasts or lunches during the summer, when theyre not getting meals at school. Increasing access and participation in the federally funded Summer Food Service Program is the focus of a summit today in Grove City. It comes on the heels of news that a record high of nearly 841,000 Ohio students, or about 45 percent, are eligible for free or reduced-cost school lunches based on their family incomes. Less than one-fifth of eligible children participated in the summer program last year, according to the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks and the Ohio Department of Education, which administers the program. When children go hungry during the summer months, their health and education suffers, Sen. Sherrod Brown, who is expected to join the today event by video, said in a statement. Representatives from the Ohio Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and summer food service providers also will be at the meeting to discuss ways to increase participation, such as incorporating sports, arts, field

Habitat warns of foreclosures

CLEVELAND (AP) Habitat for Humanity plans to foreclose on 25 houses in Cleveland if the homeowners do not respond to warning letters about their overdue mortgage payments. Deeds to the properties are held by Habitat for Humanity, with homebuyers typically getting a 30-year, no-interest mortgage. They are required to make monthly payments, usually under $500, and must work at least 500 hours on their homes and attend financial literacy and homeownership workshops. Owners facing foreclo-

As budgets are cut, certainly within schools, within philanthropic (groups), within our local governments, the first programs that begin to get cut are programs like the summer food service program for children.
Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, OASHF executive director trips or educational opportunities into their programs. Some sites require students to meet certain family income guidelines, while others are open to all children even those younger than school-age in a designated low-income area, regardless of how much money their families make. Last year, the summer program served more than 3.6 million meals at nearly 1,500 sites in 74 counties, with reimbursed costs totaling more than $10 million. Officials are working to reach eligible youth in the remaining 14 counties, ODE spokesman Patrick Gallaway

of the cases. The Democrats cited a 2009 federal report in which 10.5 million Americans acknowledged that they had driven under the influence of drugs. Schumer said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in a 2007 roadside survey, more than 16 percent of weekend and night-time drivers tested positive for illegal prescription drugs or over-the-counter drugs. Eleven percent of them were found to have taken illegal drugs. The administration also found that a third of 12,055 drivers tested who died in car crashes in 2009 had used drugs. Yet police have no approved equipment to help identify drugged drivers, though saliva tests are being researched. Pryor wants to create federal grants so police can participate in programs that require up to 200 hours of instruction to detect drugged driving as well as to better detect drunken driving. Schumer said the effort is prompted in part by two fatal December crashes in the New York City area in which two boys one 5 years old and the other, 4 died. Prescription drug abuse is being investigated in both cases.

said. Especially in rural areas, that can be a challenge because it takes resources other than the federal funding to establish a site, staff it and arrange transportation for the children, OASHF executive director Lisa Hamler-Fugitt said. As budgets are cut, certainly within schools, within philanthropic (groups), within our local governments, the first programs that begin to get cut are programs like the summer food service program for children, she said. Officials are looking for community groups, faith-based agencies and other non-profit organizations to fill the need for children who dont have a local summer food program site. At Christs Table soup kitchen in Zanesville, some students show up to get a free lunch starting the day after classes let out, and the number of children served there increases by 15 percent during the summer, director Keely Warden said. We encourage the families to bring them in here, she said. Even if the adults dont utilize our program during the school year, we encourage them to come see us in the summer months so that the kids can continue to get a hot, nutritious meal. Warden said the kitchen also works with Zanesville schools to keep tabs on holidays and other days that students are off during the school year and might need a meal.

sure, on average, are 38 to 40 months behind in payments. They could avoid foreclosure by catching up on payments, challenging their balance or working with a local housing group to redo loan terms, the newspaper reported. Several families may have stopped making payments because they believe the organization does not foreclose, Habat said. In the past 20 years, Habitat has built 160 homes in the Cleveland area and it has foreclosed on eight homes there since 2008.

Pentagon prepares for military talks with Iraq

By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer WASHINGTON The Obama administration is preparing to begin talks with Iraq on defining a long-term defense relationship that may include expanded U.S. training help, according to Defense Secretary Leon Panettas chief policy aide. Michele Flournoy, who is leaving her Pentagon post on Friday to return to private life, said in an interview with a small group of reporters that the administration is open to Iraqi suggestions about the scope and depth of defense ties. One of the things were looking forward to doing is sitting down with the Iraqis in the coming month or two to start thinking about how they want to work with the U.S. military to develop a program of exercises, training and other forms of security cooperation, Flournoy said. The U.S. military completed its withdrawal from Iraq in December after nearly nine years of war. Both sides had considered keeping at least several thousand U.S. troops there to provide comprehensive field training for By ALAN FRAM Associated Press Iraqi security forces, but they failed to strike a deal before the expiration of a 2008 agreement that required all American troops to leave. As a result, training is limited to a group of American service members and contractors in Baghdad who will help Iraqis learn to operate newly acquired weapons systems. They are part of the Office of Security Cooperation, based in the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and headed by Army Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen. Additional and more comprehensive training is a major issue because Iraqs army and police are mainly equipped and trained to counter an internal insurgency, rather than deter and defend against external threats. Iraq, for example, currently cannot defend its own air sovereignty. It is buying but has not yet received U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets. In a new report on conditions in Iraq, a U.S. government watchdog agency said the Iraqi army is giving so much attention to fighting the insurgents that it has had too little time to train for conventional combat. The Iraqi army, while capable of conducting counterterrorism and counterin-

DEAR EDITOR: I wanted to take this time to respond to the letter submitted by Margene Freund which appeared to be criticizing the Delphos Public Library. I was very disappointed to see such a critical review of a tremendous community asset. We moved here 15 years ago and since that time, our family has probably borrowed hundreds of books from the Delphos Public Library. In addition, our children have participated in numerous activities at the library since the time they were toddlers. These programs have helped them grow and aspire to many different levels that they may not have reached without this free accessibility. The addition of the building on First Street to the facilities of the library has been an enormous asset to the childrens programs at the library. Many of these programs have 50+ children in attendance and the space available to them allows additional projects that havent always been available. The staff at the Delphos Public Library is some of the most dedicated and professional staff Ive seen at any place of business. They are knowledgeable of the many items and services they offer. Mrs. Cressman has led the childrens programs for many years, and I have found her to be a fantastic person in this position. Having had many children go through the various childrens programs, Mrs. Cressman always has something to offer them. She communicates well with them when they are toddlers, seems to have a knack for knowing what each child enjoys and how to help them expand their thoughts and interests, and continues on inspiring numerous children through the summer reading program, and even a summer reading program/book club for tweens. She gives many hours of her own time toward these events as well, even bringing lunch items and snacks from home to enjoy during the book club meetings.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

In this day and age when children have so many technological advances, computer games, television shows, etc., I think it is terrific that the individuals working at the library take the time to call the kids by name and encourage them to grow their minds through reading. It seems this person felt that the staff of the library receiving an 18 cent per hour raise was not acceptable. I would agree its not acceptable. Its a shame there isnt enough funds to give the staff raises that reflect the level of services they provide to our community. Our library personnel are some of the first to help bring programs to our area that many use at no cost to the patrons. Programs like Ancestry.com for geneology research; internet services; DVD rentals; the online library program that allows you to borrow books from other libraries when it isnt available at our library; and the library software that simply allows you to place books on hold to be picked up or to search and see what is available. The staff is always looking for ways to keep up with the newest technologies to provide updated services to their customer base at the best price possible. For example, they are currently researching obtaining either Nook or Kindle books for their patrons. Just another excellent service at no cost to the users. So I am left sitting here shaking my head. The services that we have received from this public library are above and beyond anything I could possibly hope to get for $7.10 in taxes that we pay for the library in a year. And when the library says they are looking for donations, if we have the funds we donate, and if we dont, we certainly dont hold it against them for asking. If we were to pay for the services that we receive from this forward thinking group, we would have spent hundreds of dollars each and every year for these services.

Obama uses tax proposals for his political message

WASHINGTON Aiming tax increases at millionaires and companies that ship jobs abroad may help frame the fairness theme of President Barack Obamas reelection campaign, but its a plan that stands virtually no chance of passing Congress. Republicans have enough votes in the GOP-run House, and almost certainly in the Democratic-controlled Senate, to kill Obamas proposals. They say his ideas would discourage investment and job creation and further hurt an already ailing economy. Hes got to know that none of those things he proposed really have much of a chance of going through both houses of Congress, said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee. I dont think hes intending on passing any laws this year, said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis. Hes in a campaign. That was his re-election speech. The GOPs dismissiveness hardly matters to Obama and his Democratic allies. After last years hyper-partisanship bogged down routine business like financing the government and paying its debts, few expect much to move through Congress before Novembers election anyway especially not tax hikes that Republicans solidly reject. Even if there is little prospect of getting Republicans to agree with these proposals, theyre important reference points for the public in identifying Obama as someone whos on their side, said Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin. Obama offered his plans, with scant detail, in Tuesdays State of the Union address. He used the word fair seven times to describe tax increases aimed at groups the Occupy movement has branded as the one percent of Americans who are doing extremely well while the rest of society struggles. The president proposed ending tax breaks for U.S. companies moving jobs or profits to foreign countries and creating a minimum tax on their overseas profits. He also suggested new tax breaks for businesses that move jobs back to the U.S., for domestic manufacturing and for companies that invest in towns that have suffered major job losses. Getting most attention was his plan to tax incomes above $1 million annually at a rate of at least 30 percent. Thats a sharp and convenient contrast with the 15 percent tax rate enjoyed by former

surgency operations, possesses limited ability to defend the nation against foreign threats, said the report submitted to Congress today by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, Stuart W. Bowen, Jr. In an introductory note, Bowen wrote that while Iraqs young democracy is buoyed by increasing oil production, it remains imperiled by roiling ethno-sectarian tensions and their consequent security threats. Iraq has seen an upswing in violence since the last U.S. troop left, but senior U.S. officials have remained in touch in hopes of nudging the Iraqis toward a political accommodation that can avert a slide into civil war. Vice President Joe Biden spoke by phone on Saturday with Osama Nujaifi, speaker of the Council of Representatives. And Biden spoke on Friday with a key opposition figure, Ayad Allawi, a former interim prime minister and a secular Shiite leader of the Iraqiya political bloc. Allawi has said Iraq needs to replace its prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, or hold new elections to prevent the country from fracturing along sectarian lines.

25 Years Ago 1987 Forty farmers in the Delphos, Elida and Gomer area communities participated in the first session of a farm financial workshop Wednesday made possible by a state grant to the Ohio Cooperative Extension Service. The three-session workshopmeeting, led by agricultural extension agents, Dennis Hall and George Ropp of Allen and Van Wert counties, was sponsored by The Commercial Bank of Delphos, Elida and Gomer. February is heart month. Jan Odenweller, Delphos heart fund chairperson, announced the volunteers for the 1987 heart fund campaign. They are members of St. Johns Honor Society, Pam Hanser, advisor; St. Johns Future Teachers of America, Cathy Degen, advisor; Jefferson Senior High Honor Society, Dave Wittington, advisor; and Delphos Future Farmers of America, Mike Miller, advisor. St. Johns wrestlers ran their dual meet record to 6-2 with wins over Cory-Rawson 50-27 and Lima Bath 44-23. Picking up two wins by pins for the Jays were Shawn Kimmet, Don Vonderwell and Jeremy Wannemacher. Other Blue Jays with two wins were Mark Musser with two technical falls and Nathan Wannemacher with a pin and a superior decision.

50 Years Ago 1962 Five members of the Delphos Police Department planned to attend an intensive training school on the law relating to searches and seizure of evidence in Lima on Feb. 7, according to Marion Wells, acting police chief. Patrolmen Carl Brown, Doyle Fuller, John Winters and Byron Altman will attend the morning session and Wells will attend the evening session. A new A & W Root Beer Drive-in is being erected on U. S. Route 30, east of the city limits, next to Patton Sonoco Service Station, by Richard Voigt of Defiance. Ray Ulm of Delphos is the contractor. The new building will have extra footage allowing for a four-car service port. Voigt hopes to open by March. A capacity crowd saw the Delphos St. Johns Blue Jays play an excellent game but lose a heart-breaker Sunday afternoon at the local gym, as the Lima Central Catholic T-Birds edged back into the lead in the final quarter of the game and managed to hang on to a one point advantage for a 76-75 win. 75 Years Ago 1937 Two trucks loaded with supplies for sufferers in the Ohio Valley flood area were sent from Delphos to Columbus Thursday. Frank Mundy and S. M. Krendl accompanied one truck. Mundy stated that conditions in the flood area are beyond description. Sickness is spreading in the refugee camps and medical supplies are urgently needed. A number of Delphos people are planning to attend a Military Ball which will be held at the Masonic Hall at Van Wert on Feb. 5. The dance is being sponsored by the IvanhoeCommandery, No. 54, Knights Templar. The dance will be a formal affair and will be attended by all Masonic bodies, the Eastern Stars and their families and invited guests. Mrs. Albert Mueller entertained the members of the J. T. Club and two guests, Mrs. Lawrence Lang of Delphos, and Mrs. John Suever of Spencerville, at her home on West Fifth Street. At the conclusion of the pedro games, Mrs. James Dillion was high, Mrs. Henry Hanf, second, and Mrs. Lang, consoled.

WASHINGTON -- A Friday New York Times story that essentially indicted and convicted a 22-year-old star football player on an alleged sexual assault charge by an anonymous accuser should have begun as follows: We know absolutely nothing about this rumor except what six people told us anonymously about this guy who they say sexually assaulted this girl. We dont know who she is or what she said, or really anything, but heres HIS name and what they say about him. Instead, with throatclearing authority, the story begins with the young mans name -- Patrick J. Witt, Yale Universitys former quarterback -- and his announcement last fall that he was withdrawing his Rhodes scholarship application so that he could play against Harvard. The game was scheduled the same day as the scholarship interview. Next we are told that he actually had withdrawn his application for the scholarship after the Rhodes Trust had learned through unofficial channels that a fellow student had accused Witt of sexual assault. And there goes the gavel. Case closed. But in fact, no one seems to know much of anything, and no one in an official capacity is talking. The only people advancing this devas-

All the news thats unfit to print

KATHLEEN PARKER

Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination, who earned about $21 million each of the past two years. The proposals quickly became fodder for the GOP presidential contenders. Romney said the next day on CNBCs Kudlow Report that Obamas plan was designed to come at me if Im the nominee, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said during last Thursdays presidential debate, His proposal on taxes would make the economy worse. Democrats immediately made clear that there will be Senate votes this year on the subject. New York Sen. Charles Schumer, part of the Senate Democratic leadership, said he was relishing a push on some kind of Romney rule, I mean Buffett rule. Obama has embraced a Buffett rule, named for billionaire Warren Buffett, who has cited the inequity of laws that let him pay a lower tax rate than his secretary. Such proposals, along with any efforts to deny tax breaks to U.S. companies that outsource jobs and profits, would never get the 60 votes they would need to prevail in the Senate this year, let alone win approval from the GOP-run House.

Point of View
tating and sordid tale are a half-dozen (anonymous) people with knowledge of all or part of the story. All or part? Which part? As in, Heard any good gossip lately? A statement Friday afternoon on Witts behalf denied any connection between his withdrawal from the Rhodes application process and the alleged assault. Moreover, when Witt requested a formal inquiry into the allegations, he says the university declined. No formal complaint was filed, no written statement was taken from anyone involved, and his request ... for a formal inquiry was denied because, he was told, there was nothing to defend against, according to the statement. The New York Times apparently didnt know these facts, but shouldnt they have known them before publishing the story? Its not until paragraph 11 that readers even learn about the half-dozen anonymous sources. Not until paragraph 14 does the Times tell us that many aspects of the situation remain unknown,

including some details of the allegation against Witt; how he responded; how it was resolved; and whether Yale officials who handle Rhodes applications -- including Richard C. Levin, the universitys president, who signed Witts endorsement letter -knew of the complaint. Translation: We dont know anything, but were smearing this guy anyway. Without any facts, it would have been easy enough to conclude that Witt withdrew his Rhodes application because he was guilty of something, as the Times implied. But this would have been an assumption based on an allegation circulated by anonymous accusers. Theres not much meat there, except the red kind, metaphorically speaking, that sends mobs in search of their pitchforks. It also could have been possible that Witt wanted to preempt the inevitable investigation and humiliation. Whether the charge of sexual assault, whatever that is, was ever true is irrelevant to the immediate and substantively unfounded assault on Witts character. By now readers have made the inevitable association to the infamous Duke lacrosse case and the medias rush to judgment when three young men were accused of assaulting an exotic dancer hired to perform at a team party. The three teammates even-

tually were exonerated, but not before their lives had been ruined by an over-eager prosecutor and a community inclined to believe the worst about jocks. Who knows what assault even means as used in this case? The definition of assault can range from unwanted sexual advance to rape as most understand it. As long as were making inferences based on anonymous allegations, an inquisition by any other name, we might just as readily conclude that this was no rape. The accuser first reported whatever happened to the universitys Politburo-sounding Sexual Harassment and Assault Response & Education Center, then later filed an informal complaint with the University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct. Why not just call it The Torquemada Institute? If the young woman believes she was assaulted, one hopes she gets the help she needs. This is no apology for bad behavior -- and no indictment of Witts accuser. It is a plea for due process for Witt and others similarly accused. By anyones understanding of fairness, Witt has been unjustly condemned by nameless accusers and a complicit press.

Blue Jays finish 5th at Thunderbird Invitational

By MALLORY KEMPER

www.delphosherald.com

LIMA - St. Johns wrestling team has been exceptional all season and their expectations were high at the 37-team Lima Central Catholic Thunderbird Invitational hosted this weekend. The Blue Jays placed fifth overall with a score of 109.0. The top five finishes for the weekend were: Dixie (148.5), Mechanicsburg (141.5), Coldwater (129.5), Ayersville (126.5) and the Jays rounding out the top five (109.0). St. Johns coach Derek Sterling said his team had hopes in finishing in the top three but was still happy to place fifth overall. We have had a really good tournament, having nine guys in the consolation rounds just before placing, Sterling explained. Our goal was to finish in the top three but this is a hard tournament and we had some tough draws. We had some kids fight really hard to pick up a couple wins for us and thats what you need; kids stepping up, especially at this time of the year. The Blue Jays had an impressive five wrestlers competing in the top-six finals Saturday afternoon. In the 160-pound weight class, Logan Looser finished fourth in losing 3-1 to Jake Finley of Hillsdale. In the 195-pound class, Logan Heiing wrestled for fifth place but fell short in overtime, 5-4, to Kaleb Campbell of Dixie. Will Buettner (152) wrestled his opponent, Cole Vencill (Northridge), for fifth place but fell short by a 3-1 decision and finished sixth. Brett Schwinnen (182) took on his opponent, Grant Criblez

We had a few freshman that went out early, making a few mistakes. We were in the position to win it but then just made a move that was completely wrong. We have a couple weeks here to get ready for the Northwest Conference tournament and I think that we are making good improvements at the right time. Senior Tyler Shumate for the Bearcats made it to the third-place finals. He was pinned by Brian Olson from Covington in 51 seconds to place fourth in the tournament. The Lincolnview crew compiled only 5.0 points to finish 36th. The Lancers best finishers were Josh McKenzie at 138 pounds, pinned in the third consolation; and Doug Hicks, also eliminated in that same round. Cade Mansfield, the 120-pound champion from Ayersville who became a 4-time champion at the event, was named Most Outstanding Wrestler. Mansfield also holds the Pilots all-time career wins mark of 143. Besides Windau, others achieving the 100-win plateau were Zach Wilson (145) of Bluffton, David Gremling (182) of Lima Central Catholic; and Kennedy Smith (220) from Bedford Chanel.

LEIPSIC The battle for the top spot in the Putnam County League in boys basketball was on the line in Leipsic Saturday night as the Kalida Wildcats and Leipsic Vikings battled it out on the hardwood. Things didnt look good early on for the hosts, although they racked up 97 points the night before they found themselves down 23-8 early in the second quarter as Kalida went on a 13-0 spurt, hitting four from long range in the first stanza. However, after 32 minutes of basketball and two over-

time periods, Devin Mangas launched a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Vikings a 73-72 victory and send the student section storming the floor in celebration. The Vikings had a 59-56 lead late in the fourth quarter but saw the Wildcats force overtime when Paul Utendorf banked in a 3-pointer from the left elbow with 7.2 seconds left to tie the game at 59-59. In the first overtime, both teams scored just three points. Kalida had a chance to win at the buzzer but Utendorfs long 3-pointer hit off the front of the rim and bounced away as time expired. The second overtime was

Recker, experienced Red Devils too much for Jefferson boys

DELPHOS Senior Thayne Recker and the veteran Arlington boys basketball crew was too much for the youthful Jefferson unit, claiming a 55-40 non-conference triumph Saturday night at The Stage of Jefferson Middle School. Recker led the Red Devils (14-2) with a double-double of 15 markers and 10 boards, to go with four blocks, while fellow seniors Wes Corbin and Jake Leonard (4 assists) added 12 and 11 counters, respectively. Recker is one of the most physical post players in our district. He is such a tough matchup for us, for a lot of teams, Jefferson coach Marc Smith noted. Overall, their defense is as physically tough as any we have yet faced; they arent 14-2 for no reason. Their skill level especially because of their physical maturity right now is simply better than ours. Were working at it but it takes time; where our improvement will really come and I told the players this after the game is between April and October. Jefferson (1-13), with only two seniors, was led by senior Nick Dunlap and sophomore Austin Jettinghoff with 13 each. Sophomore Ross Thompson (3 steals) led a 30-19 edge on the backboards with 13. However, 28 turnovers (10 for the visitors) were the major undoing of the Wildcats. That issue started from the opening tap. They committed errors on four of their first five possessions against the Red Devil man-to-man. Jettinghoff score the first basket and he also tied it at 4-4 at 5:01 before a 3-point play by Recker at 4:49 gave the Devils the lead for good. That lead mushroomed to 13-7 on a lob pass from Corbin (6 points in the stanza) to Michael Blink with 1:22 remaining.

Inside strength paces Lady Tigers past Jays

jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

By JIM METCALFE

Austin Jettinghoff is able to shield his floater from Arlingtons Thayne Recker and score Saturday night. The sophomore provided most of Jeffersons offense in the first half, finishing with 13 points in a 15-point loss.
The Wildcats committed eight miscues in the period, with the Red Devils canning 6-of-15 shots (20-of-45 overall, 3-of-11 3-pointers, for 44.4%). Arlingtons offense heated up against the Jefferson 1-2-2 zone in the second period, knocking down 8-of-12 attempts. Corbin shook loose for six counters to lead the way. On the other end, the Wildcats could not get any scoring production from anyone other than Jettinghoff (10 in the half, 6 in the quarter) and Dunlap (3 in each period). Thanks to six more turnovers, the Wildcats could only get off 17 shots in the first half (6 come-from-behind Victory. Mangas led the Vikings with 27 points and Maag finished with 25. Kalida had five players in double figures; Unverferth, Kortokrax and Drew Stechschulte had 13 each, Utendorf added 12, while Austin Roebke tacked on 11. Despite how the game ended, the beginning didnt foretell the outcome. The guests went on a 3-pointer spree early on as Utendorf, Unverferth and Roebke all connected from long range in the first quarter; the aforementioned Roebke ended the first eight minutes of play with a steal and drive to the hoop for two giving the Wildcats a commanding 21-7 advantage. Ben Schroeder extending the lead for the visitors with a basket from the low post, making it a 28-11 lead with just under six minutes left in the half. However, the Vikings would take a page out of the Kalida game plan and hit five 3-pointers of their own in the makes; 14-of-32 for the night, 2-of-5 trios, for 43.8%). When Blunk laid one in off the glass with 1:20 showing, the guests held a 31-16 margin. The Red and White battled the Red Devils on even terms for most of the third canto, slowing down the Arlington attack. However, they could not heat up enough to make a serious dent in their deficit. When Blunk hit a transition layin with 1:35 showing, the Devils led 44-24. Arlingtons biggest advantage of the night came at 52-29 on a deuce from Leonard midway through the finale. The Wildcats finished it off with an 11-3 splurge. second period to spur an 11-4 run before the end of the half, culminating on a Maag triple at the buzzer, cutting the deficit to 35-27 going into the break. It was in the third stanza when the home team continued to mount its comeback; the hosts held the Cats to just one basket from the field in the period in outscoring their guests by nearly the same score as in the first period but a 21-8 count. The comeback was complete when Maag drained a long range shot with 5:08 to go, tying the game at 38-38. Three of the six periods played ended on a buzzerbeater or a basket with under three seconds left and the third would be no different; Zach Kuhlman (9 markers) hit a triple at the horn to give the Vikings a 48-43 lead as the teams headed to the fourth. The Vikings led most of the way in the canto with Maag and Mangas pacing the way. Utendorf brought Kalida to within three with a pair from the line with just under two

Ty Maag hit two from the stripe early on to give the hosts an early lead but the Cats answered back at the other foul stripe when Austin Horstman delivered on a pair to knot things up again for the fifth time in the extra periods. The lead changed six times in the second extra frame; Kevan Unverferth gave Kalida a 70-68 lead with a basket but Maag hit two free throws for the hosts to tie the game. However, it appeared that the Wildcats may escape the long Leipsic comeback when Tyler Kortokrax gave the maroon and gold the lead at 72-70 on a drive right down the lane for an easy bucket with just under 40 seconds left to go. The Vikings raced up court and after a scramble to get around the Kalida defense, the ball ended up in the hands of Mangas; the senior launched a shot from beyond the left-side arc, hitting nothing but the bottom of the net as time expired, giving the Vikings a thrilling

The Flyers took a 19-8 lead at the first quarter, committing just one turnover compared to six for the Lady Dawgs. The second quarter was all the Flyers, outscoring Elida 21-1.

VERSAILLES Versailles used its inside strength in the post and on the glass to down St. Johns 49-38 in a Midwest Athletic girls basketball encounter at the New Tigers Lair of Versailles High School. The game was postponed from Thursday due to foggy conditions. The Lady Tigers a junior- and sophomoreladen team, Grothouse with only one senior dominated the glass 40-24, including an 18-5 dominance on second shots, and rode its 1-2 duo of 6-0 sophomore center Katie Heckman, compiling a double-double of 17 markers and 12 boards on the inside, and 5-7 sophomore guard Kayla McEldowney (11 markers) on the perimeter to the win. We didnt match up with Heckman at all. Plus, we werent tough enough to keep her from getting position or cutting through the lane; we have to somehow get that mentality, Jays mentor Dan Grothouse noted. Heckman is just a big, physical player. It also didnt help that we gave up too much dribble penetration; wed have to come and help and that opened up shots inside for them or offensive rebounds. The Lady Blue Jays (105, 2-4 MAC) had their own outside-in duo of senior guard Courtney Grothouse (15 counters) and senior forward Shelby Reindel (14 before fouling out midway the fourth canto). Heckman dominated early, scoring seven points and clearing six rebounds (5 offensive) in the first period. Though the Tigers didnt shoot that well 4-of-13 in the period (17-of-48 overall, 2-of-11 downtown) the second chances they got proved to be the difference. When Heckman was fouled on an offensive rebound and hit two singles at 2:32, that ended scoring in the first period with the hosts up 11-8. The Jays struggled shooting, managing 2-of-9 in the canto (13-of-38 overall, 4-of20 long range, for 34.2%). Senior Julie Bonifas, one of those assigned to guard Heckman, picked up her second foul at 2:32. The Jays did a better job on Heckman in the second stanza, limiting her to one point. Kayla McEldowney scored four of her 11 markers in the canto to pick up some slack. On the other end, Grothouse (team-high 15, 4 boards, 3 assists) dropped in six markers. The Blue and Gold led briefly their only time in the first half on a layin by sophomore Erica Saine off an inbounds play with 7.1 ticks showing before McEldowney drove the court and put in a mid-lane runner with 1.1 seconds showing for a 22-21 Versailles edge.

Reindel (14 counters) and junior Katie Vorst (8 boards) both picked up their second fouls in the period. Reindel gave the guests their last lead at 7:42 of the third on a layin but once McEldowney swished a triple shortly after, the Lady Tigers never trailed again. They got rolling behind 7-of-16 shooting, fueled by four offensive boards and forcing five turnovers (15 total versus 13 of their own), as they took a 38-28 margin on a mid-lane jumper by Rachel Kremer with 30 ticks left. The Tigers held their biggest lead of the afternoon of 13 42-29 on a deuce by Heckman with six minutes to go. The closest the Jays could get after that was nine twice. St. Johns finished 8-of13 from the line (61.5%) and with 16 fouls. They visit Lincolnview Tuesday. Too often, were not patient enough; were not executing our offense through the whole play. When you play the teams we play, especially in our league, you have to do that, Grothouse a d d e d . We need to make good decisions with Reindel the ball and you need to handle the ball well. We need to make sure were getting the ball where it needs to be; that didnt happen often enough today. Versailles tossed in 13-of20 singles (65%) and added 14 fouls. The Tiger junior varsity improved to 14-1 with a 49-25 bashing of the Jays (10-5, 4-2). Lauren Bruns netted 20 for the victors and Christa Puthoff added 12. Freshman Rebekah Fischer was top point-getter for the visitors with eight.

coasting to the 39-point rout. I think its important we maintain our focus from here on out with league games coming up, Marion Local coach Treva Fortkamp said. We just need to keep on working to get better because its the end of the season and we want to be ready for tournament. Thobe had a team-high 14 points and five steals for the Flyers. Wuebker had 11 points. Megan Seitz and Winner each had 10 points. Elida committed 24 turn-

overs on the day. We have had issues with turnovers all season and we talk about why we make the hard pass when someone is standing there wide open, Elida coach Deb Stetler said. I am not for sure what they are seeing out on the court; their court vision is not making the easier pass. Torie McAdams finished with nine points and Sabrina Kline had eight points for the Lady Bulldogs.

By Martin Kluk Sports information assistant FRANKLIN, Ind. - The Bluffton University mens basketball team avenged an early season 82-79 home loss to Franklin College by pulling out a tough 65-57 victory on Saturday. The Beavers upped their season record to 13-6 overall and 7-5 in the HCAC. Franklin dropped to 10-9 (7-5 HCAC) with its second consecutive loss. The Beavers charged out of the gate, opening an 11-0 lead as five different players put points up on the scoreboard. After the Grizzlies finally got untracked and cut the lead to seven, a hit from deep by senior Mychal Hill (London/Jon. Alder) put the visitors back up 16-6 midway through the first period. Franklin then settled in on its home court and began chipping away at the Bluffton lead until they knotted it up and then went ahead 24-22 on a jumper by Zach Mershbrock. Consecutive layups by Will Pope (Somerville/ Preble Shawnee) put the visitors back on top, 26-25, heading into intermission. The teams battled for the first seven minutes of the second period with Bluffton clinging to a slim lead until senior Brent Farley (Lima/Shawnee) nailed a jumper and Josh Johnson (Ottawa/Ottawa-Glandorf) followed with a deuce on back-toback possessions, pushing the Beaver lead to eight at 38-30. The Grizzlies had one last run as they cut the deficit to 52-50 with just under four minutes to play, but that was as close as they could get. As Franklin looked to knot the game or go ahead with a three, a huge steal by Josh Fisher (Rockford/ Parkway) led to a fast-break layup which shifted the momentum back in Blufftons favor. The veteran visiting squad closed out the game 65-57 by draining 9-of-12 from the charity stripe to quell Franklins hopes for a season sweep of the Beavers. Hill paced the Beavers in scoring with 15 points while also adding four dimes and five boards. Fellow senior Nate Heckelman (Norwalk) also had a productive game for the team,

sinking all 10 of his free throws to finish with 12 points and three rebounds. Farley chipped in with 11 points and five boards as well. The Beavers went 19-of-41 (46.3 percent) from the field, while Franklin connected on 19-of-47 (40.4 percent) from the field. From the foul line the Beavers were 24-of-32 (75 percent) and the Grizzlies hit 16-of22 (72.7 percent). Bluffton finished an efficient 3-of-7 from outside the arc (42.9 percent), compared to Franklin who struggled to a 3-of-13 (23.1 percent) afternoon on triples. The Beavers finished with a slim 30-29 edge on the glass and both teams turned it over 16 times. Bluffton returns to action 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when the Beavers host Mount St. Joseph in the first of three consecutive home games for the Beavers. The Bluffton womens basketball team put up a strong fight but fell short 60-45 on Saturday to the conference-leading Grizzlies of Franklin College. The loss snapped a streak of five-straight HCAC wins by the Beavers while dropping the team to 7-12 (5-7 HCAC). The home team improved to 18-1 overall (11-1 HCAC). Lauren Hutton (New Riegel) started the game hot for the Beavers, scoring the teams first three buckets for a 6-2 advantage five minutes in. Franklin settled down and answered with a 12-point jag for a 14-6 lead. Beth Yoder (Marshallville/ Smithville) made her mark in this big game for Bluffton. The senior sharpshooter came off the bench and gave the team a spark in the first period, scoring seven of Blufftons nine points in a quick run by the Beavers which cut the Franklin lead to 17-15 with 2:32 remaining in the half. Franklin standout Sarah Condra drained a triple that put the home team up 22-17 heading into the locker room. Franklin notched the first 10 points of the second stanza to open up a 32-17 advantage three minutes into the period. A Kylee Burkholder (West Unity/Hilltop) layup with 13 minutes to play cut the deficit to 35-25, but after that tally, it was all Grizzlies. They built the lead to as much as 20 and coasted in for a 60-45 victory at the expense of Beavers who were looking to extend their school-record five-game HCAC winning streak. Turnovers and fouls plagued Bluffton throughout the game as they struggled to find any offensive rhythm. Sending the skilled and experienced Franklin squad to the stripe for 21-of-28 freebies. Bluffton hit 18-of-56 from the field for 32.1 percent, including 6-of-19 for 31.6 percent outside the arc. Franklin was not much better, shooting 18-of-47 for 38.3 percent from the field. The difference came in the free throws as the Grizzlies attempted 24 more foul shots (21-of-28 for 75 percent). The Beavers made 75 percentl, however, it was on just four attempts (3-of4). Leading the Beavers were Hutton with 11 points and Yoder with 10 points. Senior Alicia Amis (Woodstock/ Mechanicsburg) had a wellrounded game with seven points, five rebounds and two assists. Bluffton continues conference action at Mount St. Joseph Wednesday. Tip-off at Harrington Arena is for 7:30 p.m.

Neesons The Grey tops box office with $20M

By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press NEW YORK Beware the Liam in Winter. Liam Neesons The Grey topped the weekend box office with $20 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, continuing the actors success as an action star in the winter months. The Alaskan survivalist thriller opened above expectations with a performance on par with previous Neeson thrillers Taken and Unknown. Those films, both JanuaryFebruary releases, opened with $24.7 million and $21.9 million, respectively. But the R-rated The Grey, which has received good reviews, drove home the strong appeal of Neeson, action star. Its an unlikely turn for the 59-year-old Neeson, previously better known for his dramatic performances, like those in Schindlers List and Kinsey. Liam is a true movie star, period, said Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Open Road Films. Its the second release for the newly formed distributor, created by theater chains AMC and Regal. My guess is that Liam Neeson in action thrillers would work just about any time of year. January is often a dumping ground for less-stellar releases, a tradition held up by two badly reviewed new wide releases: Man on a Ledge, with Sam Worthington, and One for the Money with Katherine Heigl. One for the Money fared better, earning $11.8 million, while Man on a Ledge opened with $8.3 million. Those were reasonably solid returns, and, in an unusual twist, were both ultimately for Lions Gate Entertainment. Its film studio, Lionsgate, released the romantic comedy One for the Money. The action thriller Man on a Ledge was released by Summit Entertainment, which Lions Gate bought for $412.5 million earlier this month. One for the Money was helped by a promotion with Groupon, the Internet discount site, with which Lionsgate previously partnered for The Lincoln Lawyer. David Spitz, head of distribution for Lionsgate, said the large number of older, female subscribers of Groupon matched well with the audience of One for the Money. Groupon email blasts, he said, had a significant promotional effect. Last weeks box-office leader, Underworld: Awakenings, Sonys Screen Gems latest installment in its vampire series, came in second with $12.5 million, bringing its cumulative total to $45.1 million. The unexpectedly large haul for The Grey, strong holdovers (such as the George Lucas-produced World War II action film Red Tails, which earned $10.4 million in its second week) and the bump for Oscar contending films following Tuesdays nominations added up to a good weekend for Hollywood. The box office was up about 15 percent on the corresponding weekend last year. So far, every weekend this year has been an up weekend, after a somewhat dismal fourth quarter in 2011. Mission: Impossible, I think, really helped reinvigorate the marketplace, and thats carried over into the first part of the year, said Paul Dergarabedian, boxoffice analyst for Hollywood. com. Thats good news for Hollywood after the downtrending box office of 2011. Oscar favorites The Descendants, Hugo and The Artist sought to capitalize on their recent Academy Awards nominations. Each expanded to more theaters and saw an uptick in business. Fox Searchlights The Descendants, which is nominated for five Oscars including best picture, added 1,441 screens in its 11th week of release. It added $6.6 million and has now made $58.8 million, making it one of Fox Searchlights most successful releases. Sheila DeLoach, senior vice president of distribution for Fox Searchlight, said the films nominations and its recent Golden Globes wins (for best drama and best actor, George Clooney) played a big role in its weekend box office. Paramounts Hugo, which led Oscar nominations with 11 including best picture, saw a 143 percent jump in business over its last weekend. In its tenth week of release, it earned $2.3 million, bringing its total to $58.7 million. The Weinstein Co.s The Artist, with 10 Oscar nominations including best picture, expanded a modest 235 screens to bring it to a total of 897 screens in its 10th week of release. It earned $3.3 million, with a total of $16.7 million. The Weinstein Co. is being careful with the black-andwhite, largely silent film. Thus far, it has appealed particularly to older audiences. Its not the same type of picture as any other picture in the marketplace, said Erik Loomis, head of distribution for the Weinstein Co. Now that the nominations are out, were going to look to capitalize on it as best we can. ... Were being very, very meticulous with it. Were not throwing it out there and grabbing every theater we can. At some point, well open the floodgates on the movie, maybe closer to the awards. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released today. 1. The Grey, $20 million. 2. Underworld: Awakening, $12.5 million. 3. One for the Money,

British radios Desert Going out to buy Island Discs turns 70

By JILL LAWLESS The Associated Press LONDON Margaret Thatcher chose Beethoven, Michael Caine picked Frank Sinatra and boxer George Foreman selected The Beatles All You Need is Love. They are among almost 3,000 guests who have appeared on the radio program Desert Island Discs, a British broadcasting institution that turned 70 on Sunday. The shows simple format hasnt changed since 1942: Ask an illustrious or famous figure to choose the eight pieces of music they would take with them to a deserted isle, and talk about what the tracks mean to them. At the end of each program, the guest is sent into imaginary exile, along with their choice of a book, a luxury and one of their eight records. Almost 3 million listeners tune in each week to the show, which has stranded royalty, prime ministers and movie stars, as well as scientists, poets and philosophers. Its success is a mark of radios enduring popularity in the age of the Internet and high definition TV. Host Kirsty Young said its strength lies in the unique blend of a castaways life and the music that forms its soundtrack. At best it displays the frailties and strengths of the human condition how our creativity, grit and humanity can see us through, she said in a BBC radio documentary marking the anniversary. Young told the Radio Times magazine that scientists made the best guests, because they often had not been interviewed before. Politicians are awful, especially when they have the responsibility of office, because they have to be careful, said Young, one of only four hosts the show has had in 70 years. Still, politicians rarely refuse an invitation to soften their image. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair revealed a love of Spanish guitar music, his successor Gordon Brown enthused about Bach and current leader David Cameron selected Bob Dylans Tangled Up in Blue as his desert island record. Even a senior member of the British royal family has appeared. Princess Margaret, sister of Queen Elizabeth II, was a guest in 1981. Her musical choices included Rule Britannia and more surprisingly Sixteen Tons By Tennessee Ernie Ford. The probing of the castaways is gentle a style pioneered by the shows creator and original host Roy Plomley, who plied guests with food and drink at his club before recordings. But the interviews are often revealing and can occasionally make headlines. There were hundreds of complaints when Lady Diana Mosley, widow of Britains World War II Fascist leader Oswald Mosley, was a guest in 1989 and offered the view that Hitler was of course extraordinarily fascinating and clever. In February 2003, a month before the invasion of Iraq, actor George Clooney accused then U.S. President George W. Bush of manipulating the country into supporting war and said it was Americans patriotic duty to question the actions of your government. Few refuse an invitation, which brings no fee but considerable prestige. Youre honored to be part of this strange national club, said U.S.-born music broadcaster Paul Gambaccini, a castaway in 2002. To be welcomed into something so quintessentially British as Desert Island Discs means Ive made it, Im welcome, Im home, he told the BBC. Mick Jagger is one of the best-known holdouts. His Rolling Stones bandmate Charlie Watts said yes, as did ex-Beatle Paul McCartney who chose his murdered bandmate John Lennons Beautiful Boy as his desertisland track and musicians from Bing Crosby to Alice Cooper. The most popular musical choice over the decades has been the Ode to Joy from Beethovens 9th Symphony, with Mozart the most frequently selected composer. The most popular non-classical piece is Edith Piaf singing Je Ne Regrette Rien. The most commonly requested luxury item is a piano. Other choices have been more original. American novelist Norman Mailer requested a stick of the very best marijuana, while egocentric entertainment svengali Simon Cowell asked for a mirror because Id miss me.

The Help, Dujardin win at lively SAG Awards

time favorites in movies and television. But there was a looseness and a playfulness that permeated the Shrine Exposition Center Sunday night maybe because it was a room full of people who love to perform, without the rigidity of one single host to lead them. Unlike the great expectations that came with the sharp-tongued Ricky Gervais reprisal at the Golden Globes a couple weeks ago or the much-anticipated return of Billy Crystal to the Academy Awards next month, there was no master of ceremonies at the SAG Awards. The presenters and winners seemed to have more room to improvise and put their own spin on the evening but mercifully, the show itself still managed to wrap up on time after just two hours. And so we had three of the stars of best-cast nominee Bridesmaids Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy introducing their comedy with a joke about turning the name Scorsese into a drinking game, which became a running gag throughout the night. When HBOs Boardwalk Empire won the award for best drama series cast, among the first words star Steve Buscemi uttered in accepting the prize were Martin Scorsese he just happens to be one of the shows executive producers. One of the more exciting moments of the night was the announcement of Dujardins name in the best-actor category for his performance in the silent, black-and-white homage The Artist. In winning

LOS ANGELES Finally, an awards show with some surprises and spontaneity. The Screen Actors Guild Awards featured some unexpected winners, including The Help for best overall cast performance and Jean Dujardin for best actor in The Artist alongside some of the long-

the award for his portrayal of a silent-film star who finds his career in decline with the arrival of talkies, Dujardin definitely boosts his chances at the Oscars on Feb. 26. Little-known in the United States before this, the French comic bested bigger names like George Clooney (The Descendants), Brad Pitt (Moneyball) and Leonardo DiCaprio (J. Edgar).

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2012 More than a few new friends will be made in the year ahead, through two divergent groups with whom youll become closely involved. Each bunch will be predicated upon a common interest greatly different from the other. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If youre in need of some cooperation or support, submit your request post haste. Others are likely to be more willing to go out of their way to do favors now than they will be tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- On matters of importance, you should take a middle position, so that youll be better able to evaluate the advantages of each alternative. You must look at both sides. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It would prove to be quite advantageous for you to focus todays efforts on situations that could either increase your present resources or save you money. Both facets are very favorable. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont leave any key assignments up to others if you can help it. The matters that you attend to personally should work out quite well for all concerned. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This can be an exceptionally rewarding day for you if you are determined to satisfactorily conclude every project that you begin. You arent likely to settle for less than you envision. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Youll not only be a pleasant companion, you can also be an excellent teacher when you choose to be. Instinctively, you know how to inspire others with your words and deeds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A financial opportunity could develop through your work or through someone with whom you have close bonds. Take advantage of what develops, because your material prospects look snappy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -There is no better time than now to take action on plans youve recently cooked up. Your ideas look extremely promising, so get rolling on things while conditions are good. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you take the time to determine some meaningful targets for yourself, important objectives can be achieved right now. You could be successful both socially and materially. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is a strong possibility that you could meet and make a new, lasting friend through someone who is presently one of your best pals. The new party will be a welcome addition. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A huge challenge that your associates would love to achieve but are too fearful to attempt isnt likely to intimidate you. Your better qualities will emerge and get you past the rough spots. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A hot tip passed onto you through a friend of a friend may be too enticing to ignore. Study it carefully to determine if it has any value, and only then act on it if you so choose. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2012 A number of opportunities will be in the offing for you in the year ahead. However, if you fail to jump on them or waste too much time thinking things over, you could lose out. They wont stick around very long. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful, because someone with whom youll be involved might not be operating by the rules. If this person thinks youre an easy target, he or she might try to take you down. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A failure to select companions who are equally as enthusiastic about life as you are could put too many restrictions on everything you attempt to do and limit your initiative. Choose your chums wisely. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -If you want to perform effectively, youll need to be systematic in all that you do. Unless you organize yourself and the job at hand, you wont accomplish much in the way of anything. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you have a bad time, it wont be because youre not sociable, but because of the group with which youre involved. Be more selective about your friends for a happier public presence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -When you utilize your friendliness and charm, situations in which youll be involved will turn out to be fun and successful. Conversely, letting your ego govern the day will cause you unhappiness. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -As long as friends are in accord with your views and opinions, youll be amicable and fun to be with. Should anyone disagree with you, however, youll not be a happy companion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -The disadvantages of a collective endeavor in which youre involved will bring down the whole ship if you make them more important than the many positive facets of the project. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -It might not be entirely the fault of others if you have problems dealing on a one-on-one basis with people. You should let your honesty instead of your vanity make the evaluation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Attend first thing, while you are fresh, to all the jobs and responsibilities that must get done. You wont be as effective handling things when youre tired. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Again you could find yourself in a similar social situation that you didnt handle too well previously. If you insist upon repeating the same mistake, expect the same results. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although you are extremely capable of holding your own when in testy circumstances, you might insist on seeing yourself as the underdog. If you do, itll be a no-win situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be on guard when participating in an activity that has competitive elements. Unfortunately, theres a chance that you could go up against someone who cant handle losing.

Afghan family has twisted concept of honor

KINGSTON, Ontario (AP) A jury on Sunday found three members of an Afghan family guilty of killing three teenage sisters and another woman in what the judge described as cold-blooded, shameful murders resulting from a twisted concept of honor, ending a case that shocked and riveted Canadians. Prosecutors said the defendants allegedly killed the three teenage sisters because they dishonored the family by defying its disciplinarian rules on dress, dating, socializing and using the Internet. The jury took 15 hours to find Mohammad Shafia, 58; his wife Tooba Yahya, 42; and their son Hamed, 21, each guilty of four counts of firstdegree murder. First-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. After the verdict was read, the three defendants again declared their innocence in the killings of sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar 17, and Geeti, 13, as well as Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, Shafias childless first wife in a polygamous marriage. Their bodies were found June 30, 2009, in a car submerged in a canal in Kingston, Ontario, where the family had stopped for the night on their way home to Montreal from Niagara Falls, Ontario. The prosecution alleged it was a case of premeditated murder, staged to look like an accident after it was carried out. Prosecutors said the defendants drowned their victims elsewhere on the site, placed their bodies in the car and pushed it into the canal. Ontario Superior Court Judge Robert Maranger said the evidence clearly supported the conviction. It is difficult to conceive of a more heinous, more despicable, more honorless crime, Maranger said. The apparent reason behind these cold-blooded, shameful murders was that the four completely innocent victims offended your completely twisted concept of honor ... that has absolutely no place in any civilized society. In a statement following the verdict, Canadian Justice Minister Rob Nicholson called honor killings a practice that is barbaric and unacceptable in Canada. Defense lawyers said the deaths were accidental. They said the Nissan car accidentally plunged into the canal after the eldest daughter, Zainab, took it for a joy ride with her sisters and her fathers first wife. Hamed said he watched the accident, although he didnt call police from the scene. After the jury returned the verdicts, Mohammad Shafia, speaking through a translator, said, We are not criminal, we are not murderer, we didnt commit the murder and this is unjust. His weeping wife, Tooba, also declared the verdict unjust, saying, I am not a murderer, and I am a mother, a mother. Their son, Hamed, speaking in English said, I did not drown my sisters anywhere. Hameds lawyer, Patrick McCann, said he was disappointed with the verdict, but said his client will appeal and he believes the other two defendants will as well. But prosecutor Gerard Laarhuis welcomed the verdict. This jury found that four strong, vivacious and freedom-loving women were murdered by their own family in the most troubling of circumstances, Laarhuis said outside court. This verdict sends a very clear message about our Canadian values and the core principles in a free and democratic society that all Canadians enjoy and even visitors to Canada enjoy, he said to cheers of approval from onlookers. The family had left Afghanistan in 1992 and lived in Pakistan, Australia and Dubai before settling in Canada in 2007. Shafia, a wealthy businessman, married Yahya because his first wife could not have children. Shafias first wife was living with him and his second wife. The polygamous relationship, if revealed, could have resulted in their deportation. The prosecution painted a picture of a household controlled by a domineering Shafia, with Hamed keeping his sisters in line and doling out discipline when his father was away on frequent business trips to Dubai. The months leading up to the deaths were not happy ones in the Shafia household, according to evidence presented at trial. Zainab, the oldest daughter, was forbidden to attend school for a year because she had a young PakistaniCanadian boyfriend, and she fled to a shelter, terrified of her father, the court was told. The prosecution said her parents found condoms in Sahars room as well as photos of her wearing short skirts and hugging her Christian boyfriend, a relationship she had kept secret. Geeti was becoming almost impossible to control: skipping school, failing classes, being sent home for wearing revealing clothes and stealing, while declaring to authority figures that she wanted to be placed in foster care, according to the prosecution. Shafias first wife wrote in a diary that her husband beat her and made life a torture, while his second wife called her a servant. The prosecution presented wire taps and mobile phone records from the Shafia family in court to support their honor killing allegation. The wiretaps, which capture Shafia spewing vitriol about his dead daughters, calling them treacherous and whores and invoking the devil to defecate on their graves, were a focal point of the trial. There can be no betrayal, no treachery, no violation more than this, Shafia said on one recording. Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows ... nothing is more dear to me than my honor. Defense lawyers argued that at no point in the intercepts do the accused say they drowned the victims. Shafias lawyer, Peter Kemp, said after the verdicts that he believes the comments his client made on the wiretaps may have weighed more heavily on the jurys minds than the physical evidence in the case. He wasnt convicted for what he did, Kemp said. He was convicted for what he said.

Ex-Pakistani envoy wins case

By ZARAR KHAN The Associated Press ISLAMABAD Pakistans top court today lifted a travel ban imposed on the countrys former ambassador to the U.S. during an investigation into a memo sent to Washington that had enraged the army, in a sign that a scandal that once looked capable of bringing down the government may be losing steam. Husain Haqqani resigned in November and returned to Islamabad to answer allegations that he masterminded the note, which asked for Washingtons help in curbing the powers of the Pakistani army in exchange for security policies favorable to the U.S. The unsigned memo, sent to Washington following the May 2011 American operation that killed Osama bin Laden in a Pakistan army town, appeared to confirm the armys worst fears that the countrys elected politicians were conspiring with Washington a potent charge in a country where anti-Americanism runs deep. The outrage, whipped up by right-wing, pro-army sections of the media, exposed the apparent fragility of the government in the face of generals who have ruled the country for much of its more than 60-year existence and still run defense and foreign policy. Haqqani, who denies any link to the memo, said he now intends to travel to United States to join family there. Anywhere else, this matter would have been laid to rest long ago, Haqqani said. The memo had no impact on U.S. policy and was consigned to the dustbin by its recipient. The Supreme Court set up a commission to investigate the affair, dubbed memogate in the Pakistani media, after opposition politicians petitioned for an inquest. Despite the fact he had not been charged with a crime, the commission had banned Haqqani from traveling. Today, it ruled that Haqqani who has been living in the prime ministers residence, reportedly worried about threats to his life could travel. The court said Haqqani had to return to Pakistan if the commission required it. Haqqani said he would comply with the orders. Up until a few weeks ago, there was speculation that the memogate scandal could lead to the demise of President Asif Ali Zardari. But last week, the main accus-

NYPD spokesman under fire

By CHRIS HAWLEY and TOM HAYS The Associated Press NEW YORK When word leaked out last year that New York police were showing an inflammatory movie about Muslims to trainees, news reporters flipped open their notebooks, picked up their phones and hit the speed dial for a man named Paul Browne. As the spokesman for Americas largest police force, Deputy Police Commissioner Browne is one of the most important yet largely unknown newsmakers around. Brownes job can be a pressure-cooker: As deputy commissioner for public information, he runs the busiest press office of any police department in the country. Its staffed around the clock by several police officers and civilian employees who field a constant stream of requests from media around the world each day. Youre talking about a huge agency, said Susan Braunstein, a professor of communications at Barry University who studies law enforcement public relations. Theyre not dealing with three questions a day; theyre dealing with thousands. Brownes office issues email summaries of the biggest criminal cases of the day homicides, assaults, robberies and fatal traffic accidents. But except in rare cases, his office refuses to release police reports, mug shots, arrest logs, 911 recordings and other documents. Any citizen wanting these documents must file a Freedom of Information Law request, which can take months and possibly a court fight. I think the NYPD was a trend leader in attempting to control the message, said David Krajicek, a former police reporter in New York and vice president of Criminal Justice Journalists,

er a Pakistani-American businessman who claimed to have delivered the note to Adm. Mike Mullen, the top U.S. military officer at the time said he couldnt come to Pakistan to testify, citing security fears. That appears to have dealt a sharp blow to the case, even assuming the accuser, Mansoor Ijaz, had a smoking gun linking Haqqani and President Zardari to the memo. Many observers have since predicted that the probe is heading nowhere. Some media reports have speculated about a possible agreement between the army and the government to shelve the case. Haqqani has won support from some U.S. lawmakers and pro-democracy activists in Pakistan, who painted him as a victim of army meddling in the democratic process. While he worked hard in Washington defending Pakistan a challenging task over the past few years prior to taking the job he was known as having an antiarmy line. The scandal has transfixed Pakistans media and political class even as the country grapples with more existential threats like Islamist militancy and potential economic collapse.

an association of reporters. The NYPD policy is far more restrictive than that of other police forces operating under the same state publicrecords statutes, said Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. They just sort of ignore it with impunity. The attitude is sort of, Oh, you want us to do something about it? Sue us, Dalglish said. At the same time, the NYPD and its 36,000 officers have gained vast new powers to spy on Americans because of a 2003 court order. And the department has thousands of new cameras positioned around the city. Civil rights groups are demanding more oversight. Paul Browne has been the face of what feels like a systematic effort to keep the public in the dark about what the NYPD is doing, said Donna Lieberman, chief executive of the New York Civil Liberties Union. The latest flap involves the police departments use of the movie The Third Jihad. The movie featuring sound bites from interviews with Kelly, former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge and others was funded by the conservative Clarion Fund, and Muslims say it paints them as terrorists. When the Village Voice newspaper first learned of the screenings a year ago, Browne called it a wacky movie and initially denied it was shown to trainees, the Voice said. Later Browne said it was shown a couple of times to a small number of officers. When asked why Kelly appeared in the movie, Browne said he thought the interview had been lifted from another source. None of that was true. This month the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, after a yearlong fight, obtained internal police documents about the movie that say The Third Jihad was shown on a continuous loop for about three months on the sidelines of counterterrorism training for nearly 1,500 officers in Brooklyn. The producer of the film also said this month that Kelly sat for an exclusive, 90-minute interview, contradicting Browne.

Cause sought for deadly Florida highway pileup

By MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press GAINESVILLE, Fla. Authorities in Florida were trying to determine today what caused the horrific pileup on Interstate 75 south of Gainesville, where a long line of cars and trucks collided one after another on a dark highway so shrouded in haze and smoke that drivers were blinded. At least 10 were killed in the early Sunday pileup and another 18 were hospitalized. All lanes of I-75 reopened late Sunday, but authorities closed the highway again early today due to poor visibility caused by fog and smoke. Steven R. Camps and some friends were driving home hours before dawn Sunday when they were suddenly drawn into the massive wreck. You could hear cars hitting each other. People were crying. People were screaming. It was crazy, the Gainesville man said hours later. If I could give you an idea of what it looked like, I would say it looked like the end of the world. The interstate had been closed for a time before the accidents because of a mixture of fog and heavy smoke from a brush fire that may have been intentionally set. The decision to reopen it early Sunday will certainly be a focus of investigators, as will the question of how the fire may have started. The pileups happened around 3:45 a.m. Sunday on both sides of I-75. When rescuers first arrived, they could By TERRY COLLINS Associated Press only listen for screams and moans because the poor visibility made it difficult to find victims in wreckage that was strewn for nearly a mile. At least a dozen cars and six tractor-trailers were involved, and some burst into flames. Hours later, twisted, burned-out vehicles were scattered across the pavement, with smoke still rising from the wreckage. Cars appeared to have smashed into the big rigs and, in one case, a motor home. Some cars were crushed beneath the heavier trucks. Reporters who were allowed to view the site saw bodies still inside a burned-out Grand Prix. One tractor-trailer was burned down to its skeleton, charred pages of books and magazines in its cargo area. And the tires of every vehicle had burned away, leaving only steel belts. Before Camps hit the fog bank, a friend who was driving ahead of him in a separate vehicle called to warn of the road conditions. The friend said he had just seen an accident and urged Camps to be careful as he approached the Paynes Prairie area, just south of Gainesville. A short time later, Camps said, traffic stopped along the northbound lanes. You couldnt see anything. People were pulling off the road, he said. Camps said he began talking about the road conditions to a man in the car stopped next to him when another vehicle hit that mans car. Mayor Jean Quan personally inspected damage caused by dozens of people who broke into City Hall. She said she wants a court order to keep Occupy protesters who have been arrested several times out of Oakland, which has been hit repeatedly by demonstrations that have cost the financially troubled city about $5 million. Quan also called on the loosely organized movement to stop using Oakland as its playground. People in the community and people in the Occupy movement have to stop making excuses for this behavior, she said. Saturdays protests the most turbulent since Oakland police forcefully dismantled an Occupy encampment in November came just days after the announcement of a new round of actions. The group said it planned to use a vacant building as a social center and political hub and threatened to try to shut down the Port of Oakland for a third time, occupy the airport and take over City Hall. After the mass arrests, the Occupy Oakland Media Committee criticized the polices conduct, saying that most of the arrests were made illegally because police failed to allow protesters to disperse.

After lull, Occupy protest resurfaces in Oakland

OAKLAND, Calif. For weeks the protests had waned, with only a smattering of people taking to Oaklands streets for occasional weekend marches that bore little resemblance to the headlinegrabbing Occupy demonstrations of last fall. Then came Saturday, which started peacefully enough a midday rally at City Hall and a march. But hours later, the scene near downtown Oakland had dramatically deteriorated: clashes punctuated by rock and bottle throwing by protesters and volleys of tear gas from police, and a City Hall break-in that left glass cases smashed, graffiti spray-painted on walls and an American flag burned. More than 400 people were arrested on charges ranging from failure to disperse to vandalism, police spokesman Sgt. Jeff Thomason said. At least three officers and one protester were injured. On Sunday, Oakland officials vowed to be ready if Occupy protesters try to mount another large-scale demonstration. Protesters, meanwhile, decried Saturdays police tactics as illegal and threatened to sue.

The mans vehicle was crushed under a semi-truck stopped in front of them. Camps said his car was hit twice, but he and another friend were able to jump out. They took cover in the grass on the shoulder of the road. All around them, cars and trucks were on fire, and they could hear explosions as the vehicles burned. It was happening on both sides of the road, so there was nowhere to go. It blew my mind, he said, explaining that the scene looked like someone was picking up cars and throwing them. Authorities had not released the names of victims Sunday evening, but said one passenger car had four fatalities. A tour bus-like vehicle also was involved in the pileup, police said. All six lanes of the interstate were closed most of Sunday as investigators surveyed the site and firefighters put out the last of the flames. Some traffic was being diverted onto U.S. 301 and State Road 27, Lt. Patrick Riordan, a Florida Highway Patrol spokesman, said. The northbound lanes were reopened at about 5:30 p.m. At some point before the pileup, police briefly closed the highway because of fog and smoke. The road was reopened when visibility improved, police said. Riordan said he was not sure how much time passed between the reopening of the highway and the first crash. It threatened legal action. Contrary to their own policy, the OPD gave no option of leaving or instruction on how to depart. These arrests are completely illegal, and this will probably result in another class action lawsuit against the OPD, a release from the group said.
