DELPHOS
The
50 daily www.delphosherald.com By ANTHONY MCCARTNEY The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Investigators worked Sunday to piece together what killed Whitney Houston as the music industrys biggest names gathered for a Grammy Awards show that at times felt as much like a memorial as a celebration. Coroners officials say they will not release any information on an autopsy performed Sunday at the request of police detectives investigating the singers death. The singer was found in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, but Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter declined to say anything more about the rooms condition or any evidence investigators recovered. He said there were no obvious signs of trauma on Houstons body, but that officials were not ruling out any causes of death until they have toxicology results, which will take weeks to obtain. Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said that his agency may release more details today about Houstons death, but it will depend on whether detectives feel comfortable releasing any information. A member of Houstons entourage found the 48-yearold singer unresponsive in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday, just hours before she was supposed to appear at a preGrammy gala. Rosen said there were no indications of foul play when Houston was found by a member of her entourage. Paramedics worked to revive Houston, but were unsuccessful and the singer was pronounced dead shortly before 4 p.m. He said he could not comment on the condition of Houstons room or where she had been found. Meanwhile, Houstons daughter was transported by

love you. Early in the show, LL Cool J introduced a clip of a glowing Houston at the 1994 Grammys singing her signature ballad, the most downloaded song for much of Sunday on iTunes. Houston herself won six Grammys and had been expected to perform at the pre-awards gala Saturday night thrown by music impresario Clive Davis, her longtime mentor. Davis went ahead with his annual party and concert, which were held at the same hotel where Houstons body was found and where it remained for most of Saturday night. He dedicated the evening to her and asked for a moment of silence. Houston had been at rehearsals for the Davis concert on Thursday, coaching singers Brandy and Monica, according to a person who was at the event but was not authorized to speak publicly about it.

Telling The Tri-Countys Story Since 1869

HERALD
Delphos, Ohio looked disheveled, was sweating profusely and liquor and cigarettes could be smelled on her breath. It was the latest of countless stories about the decline of a uniquely gifted and beautiful artist, once the golden girl of the music industry. The Rev. Al Sharpton remembered Houston while preaching Sunday morning at the Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles. Yes, she had an outstanding range, he said. Yes, she could hit notes no one else could reach. But what made her different was she was born and bred in the bosom of the black church. The congregation applauded and answered him with shouts of Amen and Tell it! A lot of artists can hit notes but they dont hit us. Say words but they have no meaning. Have gifts and talent but no anointing. Something See HOUSTON, page 2A

Ricker plays matchmaker with Animal Protective League

CONVOY Mary Ricker is a professional matchmaker. Running the Animal Protective League (APL), she pairs loving families with needy pets. Ricker, who grew up in Fort Jennings but now resides in Convoy, got involved with the APL when she was looking for a pet of her own. I called [the owner of the APL] to inquire about a pet that I had seen listed in the paper. Her daughter answered the phone and said her mom had passed away. Then, it was several months later and I hadnt seen it in the paper so I called the veterinarians office and asked for contact information for the league. Soon after, I started putting the ads in the paper, explained Ricker. The APL is not a shelter and is not affiliated with the Humane Society. Rather, Ricker keeps a list of those wishing to adopt a pet and those that have pets for adoption. If somebody has an animal they want to get rid of, they give me a call and I take down their information like name and phone number and information about the pet. Then I put it [the list] the newspaper, and if somebodys interested, they give me a call and I give them the name and number of the people that have the pets, Riker said. They talk to each other and set up a time and day to see the animal and then it goes from there. Then usually, one of them will call and let me know that the pet was adopted. The APL keeps lists of dogs, cats, puppies and kittens that are available in the area. All of the pets are free. Ricker also keeps a list of specific requests: I get calls

The State Fire Marshals office is investigating an early morning blaze at 2324 N. St. Marys Road (SR 66) reported at 4:24 a.m. today. Delphos Fire and Rescue and American Township Fire Department assisted the Spencerville Invincible Fire Department with the fire. Delphos sent nine firefighters with one piece of equipment and was back on station at 8 a.m. No further information was available at press time.

from people who are looking for a specific breed. I have folders that I keep of the dogs and another for the cats and then people that are looking for a particular breed, I have a folder for that. So I can keep it separate and it makes it a little easier for me to find. Ricker shared there are several benefits to adopting pets rather than buying from breeders. It would be appreciated if The Animal Protective League would be considered first for adopting a pet, she said. One benefit from the APL, is the animals are free. The owners are not allowed to charge for them. Also, you can get to know the owner better. When you get a pet from a shelter, the shelter only has limited information. If you go to a breeder, theyll have a lot of information and be registered. However, youre paying for them to be registered and purebred. But you can get a purebred animal through the APL. I just dont advertise purebred. When you adopt a pet, you are also saving a life. The ASPCA estimates at least 5 million pets are put up for adoption every year and 60 percent of those animals will be euthanized. They also estimate that 25 percent are purebred, although they stress that a well-behaved animal does not have to be purebred. Ricker has been with the APL for nearly three years and loves the work she does. My favorite part is seeing the dogs and cats find a new home... I wouldnt trade it for anything in the world, she said. The Animal Protective League can be contacted by calling 419-749-2976 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Donations or correspondence can be sent to PO Box 321, Van Wert, Ohio 45891.

syrian rebels repel attack on town

By BAsseM MroUe Associated Press BEIRUT Syrian rebels repelled a push today by government tanks into a key central town held by forces fighting President Bashar Assads regime as the countrys 11-month-old uprising looked increasingly like a nascent civil war. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attempt by regime forces to storm Rastan in the restive central province of Homs left at least three soldiers dead. Rastan has been held by the rebels since late January. The town was taken by defectors twice in the past only to be retaken by Syrian troops. It is the hometown of former Defense Minister Mustapha Tlass, who held the post for more than three decades, mostly under Assads father and predecessor, the late Hafez Assad. Calls to towns residents could not get through on today and the telephone lines appeared to be cut, as they usually are during military operations. (Continued from page 1A) Troops maneuvered by moving on the northern edge of town then other forces attacked form the south, said Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory. He added that hundreds of army defectors are in Rastan. The Observatory also said that troops bombed the rebelheld Homs neighborhood of Baba Amr that has been under siege for more than a week. It reported clashes in the village of Busra al-Harir in the southern province of Daraa between troops and army defectors. In the central city of Hama, a sniper shot dead a civilian, the group said. The Syrian uprising began as mostly peaceful protests against Assads authoritarian regime, but it has turned increasingly militarized over the past few months in the face of a brutal military crackdown that has killed thousands of people. Recently the conflict has taken on the dimensions of a civil war, with army defectors clashing almost daily with soldiers. The rebels have taken

about Whitney that would reach in you and make you feel, Sharpton said. A sensation from her very first album, she was one of the worlds best-selling artists from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s. She awed millions with soaring, but disciplined vocals rooted in gospel and polished for the masses, a bridge between the earthy passion of her godmother, Aretha Franklin, and the bouncy pop of her cousin, Dionne Warwick. Her success carried her beyond music to movies, where she became a rare black actress with box office appeal, starring in such hits as The Bodyguard and Waiting to Exhale. Bishop T.D. Jakes, a Texas minister and producer on Houstons final film project, a re-make of the 1970s release Sparkle, said he saw no signs she was having any substance issues. He said Houston was a complete professional and moved the cast and crew to tears two months ago when she sang the gospel hymn Her Eyes on the Sparrow for a scene shot in Detroit. There was no evidence in working with her on Sparkle that there was any struggle in her life, Jakes said Sunday. She just left a deep impression on everybody. She had the perfect voice and the perfect image: gorgeous, but wholesome; grounded, but fun-loving. And she influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey, who when she first came out, sounded so much like Houston that many couldnt tell the difference. But by the end of her career, Houston had become a stunning and heartbreaking cautionary tale. Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming; her once serene image was shattered by a wild demeanor and bizarre public appearances.

She confessed to abusing cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her precious voice became raspy and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes of her prime. The biggest devil is me. Im either my best friend or my worst enemy, Houston told ABCs Diane Sawyer in an infamous 2002 interview with thenhusband Brown by her side. In her teens, Houston sang backup for Chaka Khan, Jermaine Jackson and others, in addition to modeling. Clive Davis, who as head of Arista Records had already signed up Warwick and Franklin, was instantly smitten by the statuesque young singer. The time that I first saw her singing in her mothers act in a club ... it was such a stunning impact, Davis told Good Morning America. To hear this young girl breathe such fire into this song. I mean, it really sent the proverbial tingles up my spine, he added. Before long, the rest of the country would feel it, too. Houston made her album debut in 1985 with Whitney Houston, which sold millions and spawned hit after hit. Saving All My Love for You brought the singer her first Grammy, for best female pop vocal. How Will I Know, You Give Good Love and The Greatest Love of All also became hit singles. Another multiplatinum album, Whitney, came out in 1987 and included Where Do Broken Hearts Go and I Wanna Dance With Somebody. Some saw her 1992 marriage to Brown, the former New Edition member and soul crooner, as an attempt to toughen her image. It seemed to be an odd union; she was seen as pops pure princess while he had a bad-boy image and already had children of his own. (The couple had one daughter, Bobbi Kristina, born in 1993.)

control of small swathes of territory in Homs and the northwestern province of Idlib that borders Turkey. The Observatory, which has activists around Syria, said 45 vehicles, including tanks, arrived in the town of Jisr alShughour in Idlib region. In Moscow, Russias foreign minister there must be a cease-fire in Syria before any peacekeeping mission could be sent to the country, rejecting calls for a joint Arab-U.N. force as premature. Sergey Lavrov told reporters in Moscow that his country will study an Arab League proposal for a joint peacekeeping mission in Syria with the United Nations. We should first have peace, which would be supported, Lavrov said at a news conference in Moscow with United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheik Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Russia, along with China, have given support to Assads regime at a time when Syria is facing broad international isolation over a crackdown that has killed more than 5,400 people. The two powerful nations upset the U.S., Europe and many Arab countries earlier this month when they delivered a double veto to block a U.N. resolution calling on Assad to leave power.

Arson, accidental blaze test churchs faith

By KANTELE FRANKO and JoANNE VIVIANO The Associated Press COLUMBUS Pastor Roger Williams entered the new year praying that New Horizons Baptist Church would be challenged, and what members got was a trial by fire two blazes in one month. The Marysville building was destroyed by arson, and the congregation of about 150 people lost some of its remaining equipment in an accidental barn fire four weeks later. It proved to be a test of faith and forgiveness, and along the way, the pastor says, they found resilience visible to any guest who pulled up a plastic chair for service on Sunday morning in a school gym. In the face of that adversity, seeing the ruins of what housed our church ... we were not to the point that we were broken because we knew that that was just a building, Williams said. Thats not the church. The church is the people. And we were still strong, and still together. Williams lives in a parsonage near the church and awoke on Jan. 10 to a sheriffs deputy alerting him to the first fire. As church members gathered to watch, authorities offered a disturbing account of the suspected cause, saying they had taken into custody a man they believed had driven a stolen BMW into the building, set it on fire and then watched from a nearby playground swing as it burned. It was mind-boggling, Williams said, but many members had decided theyd forgive the suspect and pray for him even before he appeared in court on arson and other charges. Then they turned their attention to how to keep the church going. While the blaze was still burning, another local church leader had stopped by and suggested that New Horizons could continue its services by renting a school space that his own church had just stopped using. So Williams and his congregants started makeshift Sunday worship services in the gym at Mill Valley Elementary, using a $1,200 set of drums, a mixing board and other donated sound equipment donated. The custodian and I are just trying to help them any way we can, said Joanne Rausch, a school administrative assistant who helped New Horizons make its arrangements. You just feel bad for them. The sermon that first Sunday focused on hope and forgiveness, but afterward Williams continued with his planned sermon series, titled The Life Youve Been Looking For. The church stored the sound equipment, along with other items it collected to keep going, in a trailer at a congregants pole barn in Raymond. Then, last week, the barn caught fire, destroying the congregants welding shop and the trailer. Gone were the speakers, the microphones, the snacks, the childrens toys and coloring sheets, the puppets and the preachers wireless headset. The family was worried about the loss of the church equipment; the church was more worried about the familys livelihood. The second time around, I think a lot of us were just kind of in shock, church secretary Anita McKee said. They were relieved to learn the barn fire was not set intentionally but appeared to be an accident that began near an electrical outlet. As the family sorted through details of its insurance, the church started making plans to rebuild, with hopes of picking a builder by the end of this week, Williams said. Theyre focused on business as usual. God has directions for us, said Bob Adkins, a mem-

STATE/LOCAL

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio gasoline prices have dropped by more than a dime after two weeks of increases. The states average price for regular gas was $3.33 per gallon in a survey Monday from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That compares with $3.45 last Monday. Last year at this time, gas prices were closer to $3, and Ohio motorists were paying about $3.04, on average. Oil prices have held relatively steady for the last few months, but some analysts believe prices will be pushed lower this year because of anticipated weak global economic growth.

Dear children! With joy, also today I call you to open your hearts and to listen to my call. Anew, I desire to draw you closer to my Immaculate Heart, where you will find refuge and peace. Open yourselves to prayer, until it becomes a joy for you. Through prayer, the Most High will give you an abundance of grace and you will become my extended hands in this restless world which longs for peace. Little children, with your lives witness faith and pray that faith may grow day by day in your hearts. I am with you. Thank you for having responded to my call.

GOP candidate Santorum adds 2 Ohio stops

MASON (AP) Republican officials in southern Ohio say GOP presidential contender Rick Santorum will be at two county party dinners this Friday. Warren County Republicans say the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania will stop by their LincolnReagan dinner in the northern Cincinnati suburb of Mason. Santorum has a private reception there. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell is the dinners keynote speaker. Republicans in Brown County say Santorum will headline their Lincoln Day dinner Friday night, about 40 miles east of Cincinnati. Santorum also is scheduled to speak Saturday at an Ohio Christian Alliance luncheon in Columbus and later to Summit County Republicans in Akron. Ohios primary is March 6.

Snow causes crashes, interstate closures in Ohio

CLEVELAND (AP) Blizzard-like conditions across parts of Ohio on Saturday contributed to three major chain-reaction accidents involving more than 60 vehicles including several tractor-trailers and closing multiple stretches of highways for hours, but no serious injuries were reported. A snowstorm that centered over a section of the Ohio Turnpike contributed to a string of 18 crashes over a mile stretch on the westbound side of the highway in the Akron area, according to the State Highway Patrol. It started with a two-car crash around 1 p.m. By the time it was over, 32 vehicles were involved in rear-end or sideswipe crashes, blocking traffic completely, the patrol said. Eight more vehicles crashed as a result of the traffic backup, it said. Two people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries. Westbound lanes of Interstate 76 in northeast Ohio were closed for about six hours after a series of crashes involving more than two dozen vehicles. One of the crashes involved 11 vehicles, including three semitrailers, and sent 10 people to the hospital, according to the highway patrol. Another involved 16 vehicles, including two semis, and sent four people to the hospital. None of the injuries was considered life-threatening. Winds nearing 40 mph had blown water from Lake Erie onto Interstate 90, icing the road and causing at least one accident, according to The Plain Dealer newspaper. Northeast Ohio wasnt the

only region coping with slick roads because of the snow. County sheriffs as far south as Jackson County issued advisories warning drivers to beware of icy routes or to stay home unless travel was necessary. The highway patrol reported at least two fatal crashes in counties with snowfall but did not directly link the accidents to weather-related problems.

MANSFIELD (AP) The annual cleanup of the former Ohio prison where The Shawshank Redemption was filmed has drawn dozens of people, including some in search of paranormal activity. The News Journal in Mansfield reports nearly 85 people from Ohio and neighboring states met at the former Ohio State Reformatory over the weekend. They swept floors and picked up broken concrete and paint chips. Some were keeping an eye out for signs that would bolster the buildings reputation as a haunted prison. Ghost hunt manager Scott Sukel says the group was able to clean most of the building because there was more help than anticipated. Volunteer Joe James says the benefits of helping out included the chance to see prison artifacts and help open new tour areas.

Obamas new budget is headed to Congress

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is sending Congress a new budget that seeks to achieve $4 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade through cuts in government spending and higher taxes on the wealthy. At the same time, he wants to boost spending in key areas such as transportation and education. The spending blueprint is certain to spark an electionyear battle with Republicans, who are vowing to oppose Obamas tax hikes. They contend the president is not doing enough to attack a dangerous deficit problem. In a fact sheet previewing the budget, the administration sought to cast the debate as a battle to protect the middle class following decades of eroding security and a deep recession. We must transform our budget from one focused on speculating, spending and borrowing to one constructed on the solid foundation of educating, innovating and building, the administration said. Obama was scheduled to speak this morning to students at Northern Virginia By CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press Community College to highlight the budgets education initiatives. Jack Lew, the presidents chief of staff, made the rounds of the Sunday talk shows to promote the spending initiative as a balanced approach that will focus on the shortterm imperative to provide more support to the economy while attacking long-term deficits. While administration officials defended the plan as a balanced approach, Republicans attacked the effort for failing to do more to restrain the deficit, which Obama had promised in 2009 to cut in half by the end of his first term. Were taking responsibility for dealing with the drivers of our debt, Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House budget Committee, said Sunday. Medicare is going bankrupt. Ryan is preparing an alternative to Obamas budget that will be similar to a measure that the House approved last year but failed in the Senate. This years budget debate is expected to dominate the presidential contest and congressional elections with the issue not finally resolved probably until a lame-duck session of Congress after the November election when law-

Winners in the contest were Courtney Von Sossan, Dana Eickholt, Autumn Neer, Nicole Williams, Kasey Knippen, Wesley Markward, Joel Beining, Eric Von Sossan, Nicholas Moorman, and Dylan Kemper. 25 Years Ago 1987 St. Johns High School students participated in the Maumee Valley chapter of the Ohio Society of Professional Engineers mathematics competition. Taking top awards in elementary algebra were Melissa Keister, fourth; Raymond Schuck Jr., first; and Nikki Wellman, fourth. Angie Wulfhorst also took fourth in algebra. A Delphos bowler recently rolled a perfect game and another had a near-perfect game at Delphos Recreation Center. Jay Sheeter is the youngest member of the Delphos Bowling Association to roll a 300 game. His series for the night was 683. Les Shafer rolled a 299 and had a 733 series. The state-ranked St. Johns Blue Jay girls trounced the Ottoville Big Green last evening by a 53-33 score. Traci Gorman led the way for the Jays as she canned eight from the field and two freebies for 18 points. Cyndi Kortokrax added 13, seven on foul shots with Sheila Gossard chipping in eight. 50 Years Ago 1962 Sue Uncapher of Delphos, was recently chosen by a nominating committee of International College, Fort Wayne, Ind., as one of 25 candidates for Queen of the Mid-Winter Prom.

Mrs. Carl Foltz, a member of the local garden club and chairman of the Allen County Fair flower show, has been informed that Allen County won first place in the state of Ohio on the Allen County Fair flower show held last September. Local garden club members who attended were Mrs. Ralph Best, president of the Green Thumb Garden Club of Delphos, Mrs. Foltz and Mrs. William Wiesenberg. St. Johns Blue Jays breezed past the Celina Bulldogs Saturday night to their tenth victory of the season. The Jays, paced by Chuck Ellis and Gene Klaus, had no trouble chalking up a 78-57 victory over the Bulldogs Saturday night. Klaus and Ellis teamed up for scoring honors and between them very nearly matched the scoring of the entire Celina team. Ellis contribution was 28 points and Klaus was 26.

The Delphos Eagles basketball team broke their losing streak Thursday night when they defeated Gomer on the Gomer High School floor. The game was a tight defensive battle and ended with a score of 19 to 12. Two field goals by Swartz and one by Jones increased the Delphos total to 10 points at the end of the half.

Parting with ones dreams isnt only sweet sorrow, it also can be liberating. Beneath the sorrow and alongside the liberation, one finds not only peace, but often oneself. Put another way, its hell to be a front-runner. The imperative to sustain momentum and never stumble isnt only crazy-making, its almost always mistake-guaranteeing. Where can you go but down? Conversely, where can long shots and runners-up go but up? And why not be yourself in the meantime? Thus, Santorum, who no one ever expected to do so well, has been more comfortable in his skin, not to mention his sweater vest, than anyone else on the stage. It helps that Santorum really is completely at one with his faith and his principles. Agree with him or not on the issues, he conveys sincerity and that ever-elusive political prod to applause, authenticity. It is also true, however, that when the presidential nomination isnt likely to be yours, you are unburdened by expectations. You dont have

WASHINGTON (AP) Mitt Romney takes a hard line against congressional earmarks, but the GOP presidential front-runner had a more favorable view of federal porkbarrel spending when he was governor of Massachusetts. Under his leadership, Massachusetts sought tens of millions of dollars in earmarks for transportation projects through the states congressional delegation. A prime example was the $30 million the Romney administration requested to renovate the historic Longfellow Bridge that spans the Charles River between Cambridge and Boston. Romneys transportation secretary, Daniel A. Grabauskas, asked the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to include the money in a transportation spending bill. That bill was full of thousands of earmarks that sparked public furor and became a symbol for Washingtons out-of-control spending when Congress passed it in 2005. In a letter June 17, 2004, to the transportation panels chief of staff that was obtained by The Associated Press, Grabauskas said federal money for the Longfellow Bridge could be provided as part of the bridge program, a new mega-project or an outside earmark, or a combination of the three. Grabauskas did not immediately respond to phone messages from AP seeking comment. A Romney campaign spokeswoman would not respond to questions about how many earmarks the Romney administration asked for, the amount of money involved and the particular projects. Every state budget in the country is dependent on federal funding, and every governor in the country makes requests for funding, but governors do not get to decide how Congress appropriates money, said Andrea Saul, a Romney spokeswoman. Gov. Romney supports a permanent ban on earmarks, which are symbols of whats wrong with Washington.

Analysis: Obama pitches middle, GOP eyes base

WASHINGTON The dustup over contraception underscored President Barack Obamas political edge in working to attract independent voters without alienating his Democratic base. His Republican rivals are forced to keep emphasizing their conservative credentials to attract the right-leaning activists who dominate the nominating contests. Its a dynamic that usually plays out when a president seeks re-election without a primary challenger, and the other party fights to determine its nominee. Obama already is in general-election mode, with the luxury of courting voters who dont ascribe to a political party. The eventual Republican nominee is moving to the right and probably will have to edge back toward the center in the fall. The farther he must go to the fringe to win the nod, however, the tougher his task. The difference was clear Friday, at events two miles apart in Washington. At the White House, Obama made a carefully calibrated concession to Catholics angered by his decision to require religious-affiliated employers, including Catholic hospitals and colleges, to cover birth control in their health insurance plans. The president tweaked the rule Friday. He said insurance companies would provide contraceptive benefits directly to employees, technically leaving employers out of the transaction. White House and Obama campaign officials were relieved by the initial reaction. Groups such as Planned Parenthood, which privately had urged no changes, praised the move. More important, so did the influential Catholic Health Association of the United States, whose criticism of the original rule spelled trouble for Obamas team. At the same time across town, three of the four GOP presidential candidates appeared separately at the Conservative Political Action Conference, a major annual gathering of activists on the political right. Each tried to out-do the other in proclaiming conservative fealty. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former House speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum criticized Obamas contraception policy. They painted themselves as conservative crusaders on a range of issues. Romney drew snickers by saying he was a severely conservative governor. Gingrich said the Obama administration

makers will have to decide what to do with expiring Bush-era tax cuts and looming across-the-board spending cuts. Obamas spending plan for the budget year that begins Oct. 1 projects a deficit for this year of $1.33 trillion. That would mean four straight years of trillion-dollar-plus deficits. Under Obamas outline, the deficit would decline to $901 billion in 2013 with continued improvements shrinking the deficit to $575 billion in 2018. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Democrats did not want to vote on Obamas spending plan, so he would once again put it forward for a Senate vote where he predicted it would fail as it did last year. Lew blamed House Republicans for pushing extreme measures rather than trying to reach consensus with Democrats and avoid the kinds of last-minute crises that roiled financial markets in 2011, such as the summer showdown over raising the governments borrowing limit. Congress didnt do a great job last year. It drove right to the edge of the cliff on occasion after occasion, Lew said.

KATHLEEN PARKER

The power of losing

is waging war on religion. Santorum, who built much of his national profile by fighting legalized abortion, said Obama is telling the Catholic Church that they are forced to pay for things that are against their basic tenets and teachings. Its not about contraception, he said. Its about economic liberty. Its about freedom of speech. Its about freedom of religion. Democrats hope independent voters will see it differently. Americans, including Catholics, overwhelmingly embrace birth control. Obamas goal was to reframe his policy as a matter of equal access to preventive health care, not a quarrel about religious or economic rights. I think the president ended up looking like the responsible person in the room, said Lanae Erickson of the Democratic-leaning group Third Way, which has studied independent voting trends. The Republican primary candidates went way out on a limb and will alienate themselves with independent voters, she said. The CPAC speeches were standard fare for such conservative gatherings, and they may not matter much in November. But Democrats will try to use the remarks to portray the eventual GOP nominee as out of touch with middle America. the head of an auto company. The speech was touching and sweet and true. Where have you been, Mitt Romney? Weve seen it again and again in concession and farewell speeches. Al Gore was never more splendid than when he conceded to George W. Bush in 2000. The pain and humility of that moment were palpable, and even Gores critics couldnt help but be struck by the power of his grace. Where had that man been? Ditto John Kerry. And, now, ditto Romney. The moral of the story isnt that one must lose to win, but that one try to harness the spoils of loss for the road to victory. Those spoils are humility, grace and the freedom to be ones true self. In real life, Romney cares about the very poor and spent his missionary years trying to help the less fortunate. To those who know him, he is kind, generous and humble. If Romney could summon the man he is in his quiet time, unhaunted by the cliches of political wizardry, Americans might find that they like him after all.

Moderately confused

Point of View
to force the giddy optimism of a Reagan morning in America or the shining city on a hill, or whatever it was -- a good horse? -- and can simply be an ordinary human being. (By the way, why cant America be a great country without being shiny or morning-ish? Whats wrong with a nice matte finish around noonish?) Both Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul also have enjoyed the freedom of loser-ness. Neither is expected to become the Republican nominee, though both have worthy things to say, notwithstanding the occasional flight to the moon on gossamer wings or, in Pauls case, the desire to lead a government that, should he win, would no longer be capable of actually operating as one. These two, though their styles differ, have breezed through debates, caucuses and primaries like a couple of guys pulling an all-nighter in the dorm -- full of ideas and coffee, plotting new countries for old men. Not so much Romney, who, poor guy, is

listening so hard to coaches and advisers, he must be calling home to ask his wife: Ann, am I Mitt? Im not sure, honey. Your voice sounds familiar, but I dont recognize you on TV. For good reason. Romney is dogged by narratives that arent really his. His partys base wants him fighting mad, which is not in his repertoire. Adding to his miseries, he seems to have fallen victim to a phonic tic, saying inappropriate things -- telling jobless folks that hes unemployed or, recently, Im not concerned about the very poor, which he doesnt mean. Everybody is concerned about the very poor! Everybody. Suddenly, something shifts in the political universe and Santorum sweeps three states in a night. Granted, Romney did not spend as much time in those states and the contests guarantee no delegates, but still, the victor gets to write the story. Santorum beams that he will be the Republican nominee and, indeed, he has a loyal fan base that Romney will have to win over. Voila, Romney gives the best speech of his candidacy. He talks about his father and what this countrys promise meant to him, how he sold paint on his honeymoon to pay for the trip, and later became

Lady Green rallies past Blue Jays

LadyCats use 3rd period to shoot down Rockets

jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

OTTOVILLE St. Johns gave the top-ranked Ottoville (Division IV) girls basketball team all it wanted for three periods but the Lady Green turned up the defensive pressure in the final period and survived for a 42-37 victory over their non-conference archrivals Saturday night at a near-capacity L.W. Heckman Gymnasium. Four Lady Green seniors: Megan Bendele, Lauren Koch, Lauren Kramer and Krista Schimmoeller; played their final home games. The Blue Jays (13-6) controlled the middle two quarters 26-13 to take a 35-28 spread entering the final period and the Lady Green (18-0) had to rally to stay perfect. That they did, upping their defensive intensity by forcing seven miscues by the Blue and Gold (16 overall versus 13). They limited the Jays to one fielder a deuce by senior Courtney Grothouse (9 markers, 6 assists) at 1:12 out of seven attempts (14-of-36 overall, 5-of-17 downtown, for 38.9%). Meantime, 6-2 junior Abby Siefker (13 counters, 5 boards, 2 blocks) came alive in the stanza, scoring the first seven for the Green and Gold. Bendeles basket at 4:08 gave the Big Green the lead for good. They could have won by a wider margin but thanks to 3-of-6 shooting at the line (6-of-12 in the finale and 10-of-21 overall for 47.6%) in the final 2:42, the Jays stayed alive. Still, they could not find the range to pull through in the end. Ottoville picked it up at the defensive end. It was such a hard-fought game, typical of what this series has, St. Johns mentor Dan Grothouse explained. Perhaps we did get a little tired but Ottoville is so good of a team that any mistake you make, they capitalize. We turned the ball over too many times and Siefker got going. The girls we had on her did a good job most of the night but we didnt do it for 32 minutes; she got away from us in the fourth. That has been our struggle this year. Ottoville was 4-of-8 from the field in the stanza (16-of39 total, 0-of-7 long range, for 41%). Ottoville mentor Dave Kleman noted how it wasnt

just Siefker he addressed at the end of three: I just told the girls that we needed to find out something about ourselves. That we could come from behind against a great team; we havent been behind much this year. St. Johns is such a great defensive team and we are going to face opponents such as this in the tournament. We found out we can come from behind, that we can get stops, rebounds and convert on the other end at crunch time. With a tournament-atmosphere crowd from the start, the Jays came out of the chute quicker than their foe, getting to a 9-7 edge on two singles by junior Katie Vorst at 4:21. However, the Jays were then shut out the rest of the canto and Ottoville spurted 8-0 to close the stanza up 15-9 on a buzzer-beating putback by Bendele. The battle was just beginning. With both teams so familiar with each other, execution would be supreme in this contest. With the teams both 4-of-12 from the field and combining for seven errors (5 by the hosts), the Jays got within 22-19 on a 19-footer from the left wing by junior Jessica Recker (7 counters, 3 dimes) at 1:11 before a 14-footer by sophomore Tonya Kaufman with 12 ticks showing accounted for a 24-19 halftime bulge. Just as Ottoville was dominant in the final period, the Jays had turned the tables on their foe in the third period. Their sticky man-to-man defensive scheme made things tough for Siefker and Company, holding them to an early basket by junior Rachel Turnwald (7:25) and a lob from Bendele (6 boards, 4 assists, 4 thefts) to junior Rachel Beining at 3:30. On the other end, the Blue Jays started to hit from the perimeter, hitting 6-of-9 shots, including 4-of-5 beyond the arc. They closed with three triples in the final 2:01: senior Shelby Reindel (8 markers, 11 boards, 4 assists), Recker and sophomore Erica Saine from the left corner with 11 ticks showing; for a 35-28 bulge. What a great atmosphere

this was. We finally started hitting shots in the middle two quarters, Grothouse added. We played a pretty solid game except for the final period. You just have to play all four quarters if youre going to beat a talented team like Ottoville. We played hard all the way through; it just wasnt enough tonight. St. Johns finished 4-of-5 at the line all in the first half for 80 percent. They concluded with 26 caroms (6 offensive); and 18 fouls. They visit Fort Recovery Thursday to close the regular season. We like to play this game so late; its a battle no matter what type of teams we have. Its hard to simulate what we faced tonight in practice as far as the intensity and focusing on winning close games, Kleman added. Ottoville added 29 rebounds (11 offensive); and 13 fouls. They visit McComb Thursday and then Minster Saturday (high noon) in a makeup game. The Ottoville junior varsity dominated 23-6 to move to 17-1. Kaufman and freshman Haley Landwehr led with six markers each. St. Johns (13-6) received two points each from sophomore Madison Kreeger and freshmen Rebekah Fischer and Halie Benavidez.

FORT JENNINGS The Fort Jennings shooting was superb from long range Saturday night against Jefferson at The Fort. They shot 18-of-35 (51.4%), including 7-of-20 downtown, in holding off the Wildcats 53-48 in non-league boys cage action. Fort Jennings improved to 8-9 overall, while Delphos fell to 1-16 on the season. Fort Jennings came out strong in the first quarter, taking a 16-6 lead with 3-point shooting from Tyler Wiedeman and Chad Recker. The Musketeers shot 4-of-7 from long range in the quarter to take a 19-10 lead. Jefferson sparked its offense in the second quarter, going on a 10-1 run with baskets from seniors Nick Dunlap and Shayn Klinger, to cut the deficit to six 26-20 at the break. The hosts had the better of things most of the third quarter, with another triple by Wiedeman giving the home team a 38-23 lead. Jefferson cut the margin to 11 42-31 at the end of the third.

KALIDA The Kalida girls basketball team took control of its Saturday afternoon home Putnam County League contest versus Leipsic in the third period and went

on to a 41-34 triumph. Kalida had four seniors playing their home finale: Nicole Kaufman 8 markers, 6 boards, 3 dimes), Alexis Wurth 3 counters, 3 steals), Haley McIntyre (3 markers, 3 boards, 3 thefts) and Brandi Merschman 6 points, 3 car-

oms). Neither team shot well: the host LadyCats (10-9, 3-3 PCL) 13-of-45, 3-of-13 beyond the arc, for 28.9 percent versus 12-of-44 for the Lady Vikings (11-8, 3-4), 3-of-14 triples, for 27.3 percent. The biggest difference was the turnover battle: Kalida forced 26 and had 17 of its own. That was particularly evident in the third canto. The Vikings led 19-18 to start the

period and got a deuce by senior Molly Ellerbrock (9 points, 4 steals) within nine seconds. However, the Kalida defense, especially its fullcourt trap, began to take a toll on the Purple and Gold, forcing 10 errors. That fueled two major runs by the Maroon and White: 7-0 to take the lead on a lob from Kaufman to junior Amy Smith at 5:01; and after a free throw by Leipsic senior Emily Gerten (15 counters, 6 boards) at 4:23 accounted for the Vikings last score of the

period, an 8-0 span to assume a 33-23 margin on 10-footer by junior Summer Holtkamp at 2:20. The Vikings tried to extend their defense in the fourth

8-0 run to start the fourth with help from Dunlap and Klinger. Delphos stayed close and with sophomores Austin Jettinghoffs drive to the basket, the Wildcats were within three with 23 seconds left. A 3-point play from Cody Warnecke and a turnover by Jefferson gave Fort Jennings the win. The first three minutes of the second half, we wanted to come out strong and show them we were still in this but we didnt convert easy buckets in the paint, Jefferson coach Marc Smith said. We fought hard to make it a 1-possession basketball game but could never make it a 1-possession game and have the ball. It was a very solid performance by us and it was nice to see our seniors playing really good. Dunlap led all scorers with 17 points. Klinger added 11 and Jettinghoff finished with eight for Delphos. They also shot well 19-of-38 (50%), 4-of-10 from long range. I am really happy to see Tyler have a career night for us since he is one of our seniors and has worked hard all season, Fort Jennings coach John Von Sossan said. We are getting a little better each time but I thought we played relaxed when we got up early and let them back into the game. Wiedeman had a career-high 16 points for the Musketeers. Cody Warnecke had 13 points, eight rebounds and four blocks. Kurt Warnecke added 12. Fort Jennings won the JV 43-26. Jefferson hosts Bluffton Friday, while Jennings hosts Pandora-Gilboa Saturday.

COLUMBUS GROVE When Mike Wilson took over as head coach of the Jefferson wrestling team, one of his goals was to win the Northwest Conference championship. For a while Saturday evening, it looked like the Wildcats had come up short. But after a couple of scoring errors were found, the Wildcats accomplished their goal of winning the conference championship. Jefferson won the NWC wrestling title finishing with 291 points to the 279 points scored by second-place Lima Central Catholic. Columbus Grove finished third with 240 points, while Spencerville was fifth with 209 points. Paulding was seventh with 127 points and Lincolnview was ninth with 42 points. The championship was the Wildcats first in school history. It was huge for us, Wilson said. It was an emotional roller-coaster for us going into the finals three points up, then to us we lost by 50 points when we had five champions and they (LCC) had four; we got things fixed. Congratulations to my kids because they deserved it. They have worked hard all year. My first meeting with the kids and parents, I told them one of my goals was to win the NWC after finishing seventh last season; we knew they were big goals. We worked and we did it. Jeffersons first title came down the final three weight classes. The Wildcats had a slim lead on LCC entering the finals but had to win the final three weight classes to realize their dream. Colin McConnahea started the Wildcats strong finish as he defeated LCCs Jack Huffman at 195 pounds. Curtis Miller followed with a win over Pauldings Tyler Ash and Geoff Ketcham defeated Blufftons Kody Koronich in the 285-pound final 3-1 with a takedown after the Bluffton wrestler stumbled slightly. Gaige Rassman, 113 pounds, and Darren Edinger, 152 pounds, won their weight classes as well. Tanner Vermule at 132 pounds finished as a runnerup at the tournament. To have five NWC champions and one runnerup, Im just so proud of these kids for what they have done, Wilson said. That last match between Ketcham and Koronich was one of the best Ive ever seen. Geoff knew what he
versus Patrick Henry. Kalida secured 32 rebounds (12 offensive); and added 15 fouls. They visit Continental Thursday. Leipsic grabbed the junior

had to do and he stayed on his game. Wilson was named the NWC Coach of the Year, while Miller and Blufftons Zach Wilson shared Wrestler of the Year honors. Columbus Grove finished in third place as they had one champion and one runner-up. Tregg Keysor was the Bulldogs lone champion as he won the 106 pound championship. Alec Gladwell finished second at 160 pounds as he lost to Allen Easts JR Conyers in the championship match by a pin in 5:29. At 138 pounds, the Bulldogs Dylan Kleman finished third as he pinned Spencervilles Cole Bellows in 2:22. The win was Klemans 107th as a Bulldog wrestler breaking the school record of 105 by former Grove state champion Kyle Blankemeyer. Brandon Benroth finished third for the Bulldogs at 170 pounds as he defeated Lincolnviews Doug Hicks 7-6 in overtime, Brett Sampson finished third for Grove at 120 pounds. Picking up fourthplace finishes for the Bulldogs were Adam Johnson (152), Christian Stechschulte (126) and Gavin Windau, 195. Windau was a favorite at 195 pounds until an elbow injury sidelined him after the semifinal round. We wrestled hard, Columbus Grove coach Eric Siefker said. I dont know if nerves got them being at their home place. That last round, after the break before finals, was probably our worst round but we wrestled hard. If we had a better round there, I think we could have finished as the runner-up if not going for first place. That one round just killed us. Lincolnviews top finisher was Hicks. Spencerville had a pair of second-place finishes in Trevor Bockey at 120 pounds and Logan Vandemark at 285. The Bearcats had four third-place finishers in Derrick Smith (126), Cory Binkley (132), Jake Bellows (195) and Lucas Krouskop (220). Tyler Shumate (182) and Cole Bellows (138) both finished fourth at the championships. We wrestled better in the morning than we did in the afternoon, Bearcat coach Tom Wegesin said. We have to work on our stamina for the long days. We finished fifth, which is excellent. Thats about where I thought we would finish. Sectional wrestling begins Friday at LCC and elsewhere.

period in an effort to come from behind but they were also forced to foul. They did turn Kalida over eight times in the span but thanks to five of their own and 3-of10 shooting, the closest they could get was 38-32 on a driver by sophomore Haley Gerten (4 steals) at 1:32. Kalida wasnt great at the line overall (12-of-21 for 57.1%) but hit 6-of-10 in the finale to hold Leipsic at bay. Neither team could get much headway in the first period, though Kalida had the better of the proceedings

most of the way. They led 10-5 on a bomb from the top of the key by Kaufman at 1:47 but Leipsic replied with seven straight: a putback by freshman Kelly Nadler (1:30) and a duck under in transition (1:00) and a trio from the left wing, both by Gerten (29 seconds); to grab a 12-10 edge. The tempo stayed about the same in the second stanza, though there was slightly less scoring. With both teams unable to get on a real run, there were two lead changes and the biggest margin was four. When sophomore Elizabeth Turnwald banked in a short shot with 35 ticks

on the board, that reduced the Kalida deficit to 19-18. Weve struggled scoring in the half-court all year. We finally hit some shots and that allowed us to set up our press, Kalida coach Adam Huber said. We have also struggled at the line but when we went to our spread offense in the fourth, we told the girls we had to hit our free throws. We hit just enough. Defensively, we did a nice job neutralizing Ellerbrock on the perimeter and their size inside. We were very active. Leipsic finished at 7-of13 on freebies (53.8%); 40

boards (13 offensive) as sophomore Amber Gerdeman had nine (4 blocks) and senior Chandlar Henry eight; and 19 fouls. Leipsic closes the regular season Tuesday at home

varsity contest 36-31 behind 15 from freshman Shalynn Morman and 11 from sophomore Maddie Steffan. Junior Kristi Honigfort paced the hosts with nine.

Poor shooting costs No. 3 Buckeyes

By RUSTY MILLER The Associated Press COLUMBUS The Big Tens best shooting team over the first 11 conference games was far from its best on Saturday. Thanks in large part to 11th-ranked Michigan States withering, physical defense, No. 3 Ohio State hit just 26 percent from the field almost half as good as its 49 percent coming in in a surprising 58-48 loss on Saturday. Asked how the Buckeyes handled Michigan States defense, point guard Aaron Craft had a simple answer. Look at the final score, he replied. Not so well. Jared Sullinger hit his average with 17 points and added 16 rebounds but he noted the culprit in the defense was that the Buckeyes lost track of who they are. We looked out of synch, he said after hitting just 5-of-15 shots from the field. If we executed our offense, I think some of those shots would have gone in. We went out of our system. Everybody didnt pay attention to plays, didnt run plays correctly. Coach Thad Matta said this could be a turning point for his team. Its got to be a learning experience for a relatively young basketball team, he followed by Bath (116), Shawnee (96), Van Wert (88), Celina (86.5), St. MArys (75), Ottawa-Glandorf (49.5) and Kenton (36.). Sectional wrestling begins Friday. ---said. We have to look at why we didnt play well. We have to get those things corrected. First and foremost, weve got to stay together. Had the Buckeyes (21-4, 9-3) won, they would have owned a 2-game stranglehold on the Big Ten with six games left. Now theyre deadlocked atop the league with the Spartans (20-5, 9-3). And Michigan State hosts the rematch in East Lansing on March 4. Youre still sitting atop the conference, Matta added. Well see what kind of a team we have when we come back tomorrow for practice. Ohio native Adreian Payne scored 15 points, Keith Appling 14 and Draymond Green had 12 for Michigan State, which snapped a 3-game losing skid to the Buckeyes while erasing Ohio States 39-game home winning streak. The Spartans built a 10-point lead at the half and never allowed the Buckeyes to get closer than four points in the second half. Sullinger, usually a threat to toss quick passes back to perimeter shooters, was attacked from all angles by Michigan States cloying defense. He ended up with 10 turnovers. He said the Spartans were no more physical than anybody else in the conference. Thats every night in the Big Ten, he added. Ohio State pulled to 44-40 on a 15-footer by Sullinger with 6:24 left, but Appling hit two free throws and Derrick Nix coaxed in a baby hook to push the lead back to eight. Payne followed by banking in a left-handed shot over Sullinger, before Sullinger was called for a charge to pick up his fourth foul with 2 minutes left. Green then drove around Deshaun Thomas for a baseline layup to stretch the lead to 10. Ohio State never got closer than eight again. We had a couple guys who defended pretty well, we had a couple of guys when we got it in the post scored, we had a couple guys kick it out,

we had a couple of big 3s in the first half, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. In general, we played pretty good, maybe one of our best games in a lot of ways and we still barely beat them. Deshaun Thomas and William Buford, averaging a combined 30 points, totaled just 12 each hitting just 2-of-12 shots from the field. No wonder the Buckeyes were held 29 points under their season scoring average. Defensively, we probably did a good enough job not a great job but a good enough job to win the game, Matta added. It all came down to our inability to put the ball in the basket today.

CONVOY - Crestview hit nine 3-point field goals and never trailed as the Knights posted a 63-53 win over rival Wayne Trace Saturday night in non-league boys basketball action. The Knights, who move to 13-5 on the year, finished the night an impressive 23-of-43 from the field (53 percent) and outrebounded the Raiders 31-21 on the night. Both statistics were a big factor in the Knight win. Crestview broke the game open in the second stanza, using a pair of Nick Adam treys and a Josh Ream bucket to grab a 20-4 advantage and lead 31-15 at the half. Nick Adam led all scorers with 26 points while Dallis Gibson chipped in 11 and Damian Helm added 10 for the Knights.

Triumph, tragedy dominate the Grammy Awards

outset for Houston, who died Saturday in a Beverly Hills hotel. Later Jennifer Hudson, under a portrait of the late vocalist, sang a portion of I Will Always Love You. Bruno Mars, Alicia Keys, Rihanna and Stevie Wonder all saluted Houston. This night is about something truly universal and healing, LL Cool J said. This night is about music. Artists have fewer opportunities these days to reach large, diverse audiences and it has made the Grammys an increasingly important venue. Producers take advantage of the star power to pack the night with performances, deemphasizing the actual awards. Sundays was a sprawling variety show, occasionally historic. Bruce Springsteen sang a new populist anthem, We Take Care of Our Own. Rihanna dueted with Chris Martin of Coldplay. Katy Perry debuted a shiny blue haircut. Keys and Bonnie Raitt honored Etta James. The Foo Fighters sang Walk and later participated in a tribute to new dance artists. Chris Brown hoofed it up a series of steps, although his voice was barely recogniz-

Adele By DAVID BAUDER The Associated Press The splintered music world truly coalesces only one night of 365 for the Grammy Awards, and this year was united in the triumph of recovered British soul singer Adeles trophy haul and the tragedy of Whitney Houstons death. Adele swept the major honors of song, record and album of the year Sunday for her lost-love epic 21 and its driving single Rolling in the Deep. She picked up her final two awards after making her first public performance in months after being sidelined for throat surgery. Her total of six Grammys matched Beyonce for most ever by a female act. After seeming almost sheepish in picking up some of the trophies (This is ridiculous, she said after winning record of the year), Adeles tears flowed upon winning best album. This record is inspired by something that is really normal and everyones been through it just a rubbish relationship, she said. Its gone on to do things that I cant tell you how I feel about them. Its been the most lifechanging year. The Foo Fighters won five Grammys for music that singer Dave Grohl said was made in his garage, and ceremony no-show Kanye West won four. Indie rockers Bon Iver won best new artist. Show host LL Cool Js neat pivot allowed the assembled industry leaders to mourn Houston while enjoying the nights music. He offered a prayer at the

Mark and Thelma Niemeyer of Lima announce the engagement of their daughter, Jessica Ann, to Mark Joseph Mueller, son of Ronald and Ann Mueller of Delphos. The couple will exchange vows on April 21 at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Lima. The bride elect is a graduate of Lima Central Catholic High School and the University of Toledo, with a masters degree in speech language pathology. She works at Blanchard Valley Hospital. Her fiance is a graduate of St. Johns High School and the University of Toledo, with a degree in civil engineering. He works for the Ohio Department of Transportation in Bowling Green as a transportation engineer.

able. Glen Campbell, soon to retire due to Alzheimers, appeared in a tribute. Maroon 5 and Foster the People played Beach Boy songs, then joined the Boys as they reunited for their 50th anniversary. Many believed Brian Wilson and Mike Love, who looked slightly stiff going through Good Vibrations, would never appear on stage together again. Paul McCartney sang a jazzy new song from his album of standards, then was joined by Springsteen, Grohl, Tom Petty and Joe Walsh on the Beatles Abbey Road closing medley. Then there was the truly unexplainable: Nicki Minajs exorcism outing, ending with her levitating above the stage. Adele was the uniting force. Her album was a critical hit and commercial powerhouse, and it would have been an upset if she hadnt joined Eric Clapton, the Dixie Chicks, Carole King, Paul Simon and Christoper Cross among artists to sweep the three biggest awards in one night. Its nice to see as music See GRAMMYS, page 10A

(Continued from page 9A) keeps evolving that something as authentic as shes putting out can still be not just relevant but dominating, said Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum, last years record of the year winners. Adele said backstage that her victories hadnt sunk in yet. She said she enjoyed the two months where a throat ailment forced her to keep quiet. Im actually quite

mouthy, she said. As for the subject of 21, she said, I think hell be very happy for me. Dan Wilson, who co-wrote Adeles Someone Like You and two other tracks on the disc, said hes excited about how well Adele has done because her songs are performed simply. Its all about the message and the emotion, he said. She stands up onstage and delivers them with tons of soul and heart, he said. It

almost seems like a trick shes doing that. She doesnt have any, like, elephants walking with her or, you know, fire and stuff like it. It seems like she has the most amazing trick, which is shes doing it with almost nothing, and is still blowing us away. Paul Epworth, who worked with Adele on the album, won a Grammy for producer of the year. While Adeles vocals are powerful, the singing of best new artist winner Justin

Vernon of Bon Iver is often delicate, the music atmospheric. He won a competitive and diverse category with Minaj, The Band Perry, J. Cole and Skrillex. Appearing onstage in an ill-fitting suit jacket, Vernon talked about writing for the inherent reward of writing songs, not for trophies. It doesnt mean he wasnt honored and grateful for the award, he said backstage later. At some point I got really nervous, he said. Maybe it was because I didnt feel like I deserved to be here ... This is the biggest night in music but its also a very small Staples Center, and theres so much music out there in the world and its so hard to feel like its collecting the whole thing. He gave an onstage shoutout to Eau Claire, Wis., probably a Grammy first. Grohl shouted long live rock n roll as producers played LMFAOs Party Rock over the loudspeakers to get him offstage after the Foo Fighters won for best rock performance. He made a plea for musicians to recognize that the human element is what makes their art most important. Its not about being perfect. Its not about sounding absolutely correct. Its not about what goes on in a computer. Its about what goes on in here and what goes on in here, he said, pointing to his head and his heart.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2012 Some very interesting challenges of your own choosing could confront you in the year ahead. Even if you know you are a match for what is at hand, getting involved could hinder some other very important areas of your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its never a good day to get involved in the financial affairs of friends, especially if youre asked to play the role of a banker. Its one of the quickest ways to break up a relationship. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Guard against talking about important things as if youve already accomplished them. It could cause you to be unrealistic about the chore at hand and let down your game just when you need to be driving to the hoop. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -There are two means of thinking that could hold you back: one is nursing self-defeating thoughts and the other is repeating a mistake that youve made over and over again. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont pry too deeply into a friends personal affairs, because you could uncover something juicy that you wouldnt be able to resist telling others about. Mind your own beeswax. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Be extremely careful about whom you choose to go to for advice; sometimes the people you like the most dont have all the answers. Make sure your adviser knows what he or she is talking about. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should take care not to jump to conclusions when you dont have all the facts. Any decisions you make will be flawed if the information theyre based on is worthless. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Theres a good possibility that you will be prone to taking risks both financially and otherwise, just because you want a long shot to pan out. This is no time to be an optimist. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Neither you nor your mate are likely to be very good at keeping promises made to one another. Be careful not to pledge something that you dont know how to make good on. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Avoid participating in office gossip and workplace scuttlebutt. Word might get back to the boss that youre the big mouth who is causing all the discontent. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be extremely protective of your belongings and resources. Any carelessness on your part, such as leaving things unattended or out in the open -- even in a locked car -will lead to a regrettable loss. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Theres a chance that you could be kind to undeserving people in hopes of changing them, while being tight with those who are generous and giving. Reverse that. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although usually you base your evaluations on logic and practicality, you might ignore these factors and go with what suits you at the moment. This could prove to be quite unwise. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2012 Because youve done your homework and learned some painful lessons, your probabilities for achieving success in the year ahead are now much greater. This growth will prove to be priceless. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Guard against thoughtlessly taking full credit for something that others had a part in, just because its easier than explaining the full story. Itll end up making you look bad. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -If you havent been getting the type of mileage you thought you would from your budget, examine it to find out why. Dont ignore petty expenditures -- they could be the problem. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The world isnt going to open up any obvious paths for you to follow; youll be the one who decides what you want and where you want to go. Put forth the necessary effort yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Forbidden fruit might beckon you, but that does not mean you have to respond. Even if the situation entices you, the results would turn out to be disastrous. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -There is nothing more valuable than your reputation, and once its gone its usually gone forever. If someone tries to pin something on you, defend yourself with everything youve got. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- An alliance of convenience is likely to be tested. If what binds this union isnt tough enough, and it probably isnt, the results could be disappointing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont attempt to stand by a product or job to which you arent proud to affix your name, just because you dont think it will be closely scrutinized by others. It will be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be on your best behavior, because social involvements are likely to have a significant effect on your reputation at this point in time. If youre a guest, dont overstay your welcome. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If what you do for others doesnt come from the goodness of your heart, people will quickly pick up on it and suspect you of an ulterior motive. Youll be in bad odor, to say the least. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Even if your intention is to be helpful, others will take any unsolicited suggestions you make as criticism of their work. Show an appreciation for their efforts instead, and keep your nitpicks to yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- With an eye to the future, manage your resources as prudently as possible. If you fail to do so and instead spend your funds on wasteful items, youll experience problems sooner rather than later. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You might find yourself facing a situation where tough love is called for. Dont give in to a youngster if you know that what the child wants could be risky.

Greeks clean up after riots against austerity vote

By ELENA BECATOROS Associated Press ATHENS, Greece Firefighters doused smoldering buildings and cleanup crews swept rubble from the streets of central Athens today following a night of rioting during which lawmakers approved harsh new austerity measures demanded by bailout creditors to save the nation from bankruptcy. At least 45 buildings were burned, including one of the capitals oldest cinemas, while dozens of stores and cafes were smashed and looted. The stench of tear gas still hung in the air on today morning, choking passers-by. More than 120 people were hurt in the rioting which also broke out in other Greek cities. Authorities said 68 police needed medical care after being injured by gasoline bombs, rocks and other objects hurled at them, while at least 70 protesters were also hospitalized. Police arrested at least 67 people, while in several cases they had to escort fire crews to burning buildings after protesters prevented access. The rioting began Sunday afternoon ahead of a landmark vote in Parliament on yet more austerity measures. The drastic cuts debated in parliament include axing one in five civil service jobs over the next three years and slashing the minimum wage by more than a fifth. Lawmakers approved the bill in a 199-74 vote to the relief of investors who pushed the Athens stock index up 5 percent on today. The vote paves the way for Greeces international creditors to release (euro) 130 billion ($172 billion) in new rescue loans to prevent the country from a potentially catastrophic default next month bankruptcy could push Greece out of Europes euro currency union, drag down other troubled eurozone countries and further roil global markets. There was nevertheless strong dissent over the austerity package among the majority Socialists and rival Conservatives who make up Greeces interim coalition government. The parties disciplined the dissenters in their ranks, with the Socialists and Conservatives expelling 22 and 21 lawmakers respectively, reducing their majority in the 300-member parliament from 236 to 193. Germany gave the vote result a cautious welcome, with Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle describing it as a first significant step along the right road. However, the actual difficult work with implementing the reforms that have been By JOSEF FEDERMAN Associated Press

Bombers target Israeli diplomats in Georgia, India

JERUSALEM Assailants attacked Israeli diplomatic targets in India and Georgia in near-simultaneous strikes on Tuesday, wounding two people in a car bombing in New Delhi, officials said. Israels Foreign Ministry said an attempted car bombing in Georgia was thwarted when the bomb was discovered before it went off. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But suspicion fell on Iran and its Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, which both have deep grievances against the Jewish state. Hezbollah recently marked the anniversary of the 2008 assassination of one of its commanders, Imad Mughniyeh, in a bombing widely believed to have been carried out by Israel. And Iran suspects Israeli involvement in a series of killings of officials and scientists involved in its controversial nuclear program. The explosion in India tore through a diplomats car, Israeli officials said. The Foreign Ministry did not identify the wounded, but Indian officials said the driver and a diplomats wife were injured. The explosion took place in the late afternoon close to the embassy, said embassy spokesman David Goldfarb. Television footage showed a charred minivan with blue diplomatic plates, its rear door apparently blown out. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor would not discuss who was injured nor the extent of the injuries because it was a security matter. We are looking into the incident and cooperation with local security forces is excellent, Palmor said from Israel. Authorities in the former Soviet republic of Georgia said an explosive device was planted on the car of a driver for the Israeli Embassy. Shota Utiashvili, spokesman for the Georgian Interior Ministry, said the driver noticed a package attached to his cars undercarriage today and called police. Police found a grenade in the package and it was defused, Utiashvili said. He did not specify where the car was parked when the device was discovered. There was no immediate comment from Iran. But speculation will undoubtedly be raised over the possibility of Iranian-linked payback for assassinations on nuclear scientists and other covert plots that Tehran has blamed on Israels spy agency Mossad and Western allies. Last month, a direc-

agreed on is only just starting now, he said in a statement. That is the decisive precondition for Germany and the other euro partners being able to stand by Greece with a further rescue package. Embarking on implementation is decisive now, Westerwelle said. These decisions show the will and readiness of the Greeks to make great efforts of their own ... to put the country on the right track, German Chancellor Angela Merkels spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said in Berlin. These measures, and we really have to note this, are not just saving for the sake of saving, they are not cutting for the sake of cutting this is about reforms in every political area, he said. These are measures that are meant to restore step by step the financial room for maneuver that the country needs for new jobs and new growth to emerge. Germanys vice chancellor, Philipp Roesler, also said the vote was a step in the right direction. It is good that the legislation has now been approved, with a broad majority too, but what is decisive is the implementation of structural reforms, Roesler, who is also Germanys economy minister, told ARD television. The legislative process is one thing, implementation is another I would like to recall again that there have been tax laws for a long time and the fact that they were not adhered to sensibly is part of the problem, he added. Roesler noted that the upcoming report by Greeces international debt inspectors from the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund, known as the troika, will be key to determining whether the measures Athens has taken suffice to allow the country to carry its debts and get further aid. The pressure that Germany built up in Europe was right in order at least to move Greece further in this right direction, he said. Sundays clashes erupted after more than 100,000 protesters marched to the parliament to rally against the drastic cuts. Theres no question that theres quite a lot of anger in the population. There is quite a lot of frustration, said social and economic analyst Panos Tsakloglou. However I do not think that these rioters represent all these demonstrators that were mostly peaceful yesterday. The new bailout deal, which has not yet been finalized, will be combined with a massive bond swap deal to write off half the countrys privately held debt, reducing Greeces debt load by about (euro) 100 billion. tor of Irans main uranium enrichment site was killed in a blast from a magnetic bomb placed on his car. The official, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, was at least the fifth member of Irans scientific community killed in apparent targeted attacks in the past two years.

Answers to Saturdays questions: The term tabloid was created and trademarked in 1844 by Burroughs, Wellcome & Company for a small pill containing a concentration of different ingredients. The term was soon being applied to anything in compressed form, and eventually became associated with newspapers with short, condensed articles. Wild West outlaw Frank James surrendered five months after his brother Jesses death and was tried and freed after being found not guilty of murder and armed robbery in Missouri, and armed robbery in Alabama.

JFK intern recounts longago affair in new book

By KAREN MATTHEWS The Associated Press NEW YORK Mimi Alford was terrified in 1998 when the Monica Lewinsky scandal turned the word intern into a dirty joke, exposing an affair with a president. Her decades-old secret about her trysts with John F. Kennedy was still safe then. Outed in a 2003 biography and a New York newspaper account, Alford has learned to tell her story and not be ashamed of it from the moment she said Kennedy seduced her on her fourth day working at the White House until the affair ended shortly before his death. In Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and its Aftermath, published last week by Random House, she writes of her first encounter as a naive teenager, her varied and fun sex life with Kennedy, whom she always called Mr. President. She was 19 and had no sexual experience when she first went to bed with Kennedy in his wife, Jacquelines bedroom. It was June 1962. Short of screaming, she writes, I doubt I could have done anything to thwart his intentions. Nor did she want to thwart his intentions. I wouldnt describe what happened that night as making love, she writes. But I wouldnt call it nonconsensual, either. Addressing people who have questioned the encounter, she said, I dont consider it was rape. I have never considered it rape because I was willing. The relationship continued, even after Alford had become engaged while attending college in suburban Boston, until Kennedys 1963 assassination, she wrote. The two raced rubber ducks in the bathtub; they had multiple sexual encounters, though he never kissed her; when he called her at her college dorm, he would use the code name Michael Carter, she wrote. Her account seems quite credible, said Robert Dallek, whose Kennedy biography made a passing reference to a college sophomore who was a favorite of the presidents. This is how he operated, Dallek said. He was a compulsive womanizer. A lawyer for the Kennedy family did not respond to requests for comment over the weekend. Writing the book was liberating, Alford said an interview last week in her publishers midtown offices. Now 68, Alford was slim and elegant in a gray knit dress, gray pageboy hairstyle and pearl earrings. She was Marion Mimi Beardsley when she arrived at the White House press office the summer after her freshman year at Wheaton College in Massachusetts, then an allgirls school. The affair began during her summer internship and continued when she returned to Wheaton in the fall, she wrote. It continued while she dated and until a few months after her engagement to Tony Fahnestock, a senior at Williams. She was deep into wedding preparations when Kennedy was shot. Overcome with grief, she confessed the affair to her fiance. He told her never to breathe a word of it. She promised, fearful that the only alternative was to break off the engagement, and she largely kept the promise, telling only a trusted few. It took years for her to see the connection between her silence about the relationship and the emotional shutting down that had blighted much of her life. I needed to look at the secret and then look at the impact of having kept the secret for so long, she said. Mimi and Tony Fahnestock divorced in 1991 and he died in 1993. Alford married again in 2005, to Dick Alford. Her two daughters from her marriage to Fahnestock are in their 40s, are mothers themselves and have supported her decision to write of her experience, she said. The book took several years and multiple drafts. Alford supplemented her memory with research at the Kennedy Library, where she found her name on passenger logs from plane trips with Kennedys entourage. The story she tells is not always flattering to Kennedy or to Alford herself. She felt no guilt, she wrote, with regard to the first lady,

whom she never met. I do now, she said. But at the time, it wasnt as if I was trying to replace her or that the president was trying to replace her. I think I just went along. And so I didnt feel guilty. Its kind of embarrassing to say that. Alford knows that readers may judge her harshly; it doesnt frighten me, she said. She describes Kennedy as a kind and thoughtful man. And then, she tells stories of what she calls his darker side. She says Kennedy once asked her to take care of his aide Dave Powers, who had served as the go-between facilitating the affair; she performed oral sex on Powers while Kennedy watched. The president later apologized to both of them. On another occasion, she wrote, he asked her to do the same for his brother Teddy. She refused. Then there was a party with a fast Hollywood crowd at Bing Crosbys house in Palm Springs, Calif., that she attended with the president. A guest offered yellow pills that she believed were poppers, or amyl nitrate, a drug often used to enhance sexual pleasure. Kennedy asked her if she wanted to try one and she said no, but she said he popped the capsule and held it under her nose anyway. Within minutes of inhaling the powder, my heart started racing and my hands began to tremble, she writes. This was a new sensation, and it frightened me. I panicked and ran crying from the room, praying that it would end soon. Alford debated whether to share episodes like this, taking them out of the book and putting them back in. If she had excluded them, she said, it would have felt like I was not telling the whole story. When the affair with Kennedy was revealed in 2003 the Daily News of New York published her name Alford spent a few days holed up in her apartment with the media camped outside. Then they left and she started going to work and going grocery shopping again. After interviews to promote Once Upon a Secret, she expects to return to her quiet life once more. Its sort of like closing a chapter on that 18 months, she said, and closing a chapter on keeping secrets.
