DELPHOS Nearly
200 people filled the 2nd
Floor Gallery of the Delphos
Museum of Postal History
Sunday evening for Night
at the Museum of Postal
History gala event.
Most were invited because
of their contributions to the
museum through volunteer-
ism, monetary donations and
other support.
Museum Director Gary
Levitt thanked all who had
some part in him realizing his
dream of the museum.
I dont even know where
to begin, Levitt said to the
crowd. All of you have in
some way been instrumental in
what is happening downstairs
and what will happen in the
future. I couldnt have done it
without you and now Delphos
can lay claim to one of the top
postal museums in the country.
You have a lot to be proud
of here, including your beau-
tiful churches, the Veterans
Memorial Park at Lincoln
Highway and historic Route
66, the Canal Commission
Museum and now, the postal
museum. I promise to help find
ways to bring people here to
see your jewels.
Retired U.S. Postal Service
Historian Meg Ausman was
one of the first people Levitt
contacted long ago when he
was starting the museum
in the basement of the post
office.
Gary called me and
begged for some items for
a museum he was starting,
Ausman began. I sent him
several things we could spare
and well, you see what hap-
pened. You give Gary an inch
and he builds a museum.
Levitt presented granite
pavers to those who were
most instrumental in bring-
ing his dream to fruition
Oil jumps to
9-month high
By PABLO GORONDI
The Associated Press
Oil prices jumped to a
nine-month high above $105
a barrel today after Iran said it
halted crude exports to Britain
and France in an escalation
of a dispute over the Middle
Eastern countrys nuclear pro-
gram.
By early afternoon in
Europe, benchmark March
crude was up $1.91 to $105.15
per barrel in electronic trading
on the New York Mercantile
Exchange. Earlier in the day,

it rose to $105.21, the highest
since May. The contract rose
93 cents to settle at $103.24 per
barrel in New York on Friday.
Markets in the United
States are closed today for the
Presidents Day holiday.
Irans oil ministry said
Sunday it stopped crude ship-
ments to British and French
companies in an apparent
pre-emptive blow against the
European Union after the bloc
imposed sanctions on Irans
crucial fuel exports. They
include a freeze of the coun-
trys central bank assets and
an oil embargo set to begin in
July.
Irans Oil Minister Rostam
Qassemi had warned earlier
this month that Tehran could
cut off oil exports to hos-
tile European nations. The
27-nation EU accounts for
about 18 percent of Irans oil
exports.
The EU sanctions, along
with other punitive measures
imposed by the U.S., are part of
Western efforts to derail Irans
disputed nuclear program,
which the West fears is aimed
at developing atomic weapons.
Iran denies the charges, and
says its program is for peaceful
purposes.
Analysts said Irans
announcement would likely
have minimal impact on sup-
plies, because only about 3 per-
cent of Frances oil consump-
tion is from Iranian sources,
while Britain had not imported
oil from the Islamic republic in
six months.
The price rise is more a
reflection of concerns about
the further escalation in ten-
sions between Iran and the
West, said commodity analyst
Caroline Bain of the Economist
Intelligence Unit. Banning the
tiny quantities of exports to the
U.K. and France involves very
little risk for Iran indeed
quite the opposite, it catches
the headlines and leads to a
higher global oil price, which
is something Iran is very keen
to encourage.
Oil prices also rose on
hopes that Greeces new bail-
out deal will be approved today
as well as by Chinas deci-
sion to boost money supply bid
to spur lending and economic
growth. Chinas central bank
said Saturday it will lower the
ratio of funds that banks must
hold as reserves, a move that
frees tens of billions of dollars.
Oil has jumped from $96
earlier this month amid opti-
mism the global economy may
grow more this year than pre-
viously expected. J.P. Morgan
raised its Brent crude price
forecast to as high as $135
from $120 today, the April
Brent crude contract was up 79
cents at $120.37 per barrel on
the ICE Futures exchange.
Building economic
momentum has the potential
to pull oil prices higher for the
next 12 to 24 months, J.P.
Morgan said in a report.

The pavers will be installed
in the museums entryway.
Levitt also outlined his
future plans for the muse-
um.
There will be a lot more
of the same, he said. We
still have many items to find
a home for.
Levitt thanked his family,
saying his endeavor could
not have happened without
them.
All of this could not
have been possible without
the support of my family.
Im sure there were many
nights they wished I was
home but they never said a
word except my grandson,
who let me know, Pa-Pa, I
miss you, Levitt said.
Levitt closed the evening
by thanking Delphos for its
generosity and accepting
him with open arms and
inviting everyone to look
around the museum.
Delphos is a great place
to raise a family and a won-
derful place to call home,
he said. Ill call this place
home not matter where I
live. Go downstairs and
enjoy the new exhibits and
thank you all for your sup-
port.
Gala
WESTFIELD, N.J. (AP)
Whitney Houston was
laid to rest Sunday at a brief
private ceremony in New
Jersey, the end of a week-
end that saw the pop stars
family and friends gather
at a star-studded funeral to
mourn her loss while cel-
ebrating her career.
Fans and onlookers gath-
ered in several places along
the route the motorcade took
from the Newark funeral
home to the cemetery about
20 miles away in Westfield,
where Houston was buried
next to her father, who died
in 2003.
The 48-year-old singer
died Feb. 11 in California,
hours before she was to
attend a pre-Grammy
Awards party. No cause of
death has been determined.
On Saturday, she was
mourned at an invitation-
only funeral at the church in
Newark where she sang in
the choir as a child. She was
remembered by the biggest
names in the music: Stevie
Wonder and Alicia Keys
sang, and industry mogul
Clive Davis was among those
who spoke, as was Kevin
Costner, Houstons co-star
in The Bodyguard.
The funeral was closed to
fans, who were not allowed
within blocks of the church.
Still, many came to Newark
to take part in what ways
they could, some from as far
as Miami and Washington,
D.C.
Fans gathered again near
the funeral home Sunday
morning, and some even
slowly ran alongside the
hearse as it began the jour-
ney to Houstons graves-
ite. Several yelled out We
love you, Whitney as the
hearse, which had a black
and white headshot of the
star in a window, slowly
drove away.
Barbara Davis, 53, of
Newark, said she had been
waiting outside the funer-
al home since 8:30 a.m.,
hoping to get a glimpse of
Houstons final trip.
To be here at her home-
going is an honor and a
blessing, Davis told The
Star-Ledger of Newark.
Also among the crowd
was Newark resident Eva
Aquino and her two grand-
daughters, ages 10 and 13.
All three stood on a street
corner as the hearse passed
by, and they used cellphones
to snap photos of the pro-
cession.
The girls were wear-
ing T-shirts and buttons of
Houston that their grand-
mother had bought from
vendors outside the funeral
home Saturday.
We came here and
bought all these things of
her to cherish the memo-
ries, said 13-year-old
Nalani Velez of Kearny.

Kyrstin Warnecke
1st place (10-11 year old)
The Twin Towers or
World Trade Center these
two building were so famous
they had two names. They
became part of New York
skyline in 1972. These two
towers will never be for-
gotten, along with all the
American lives that were lost
that day.
September 11, 2001 was
one of the darkest days in
American History. The sky-
line of New York City would
be changed forever. At 8:46
a.m. American Airlines Flight
1 crashed into the North
Tower of the World Trade
Center. If this turn of events
didnt impact American
lives enough, seventeen min-
utes later another American
Airline Flight 175 crashed
into the South Tower of the
World Trade Center.
The Twin Towers fought
to stay standing like we
Americans do, but the Twin
Towers would fall to defeat.
The South Tower was the
first to collapse at 9:59 a.m.
The North Tower was the
first tower struck this day,
and fought the longest, but
the North Tower collapsed
at 10:28 a.m., killing thou-
sands of proud Americans
and affecting lives all over
this great country.
I know a lot of Americans
lives were lost this tragic day
by cowardly terrorist attacks.
American lives were lost, but
not forgotten. Plans are in
place to build a memorial site
of five new towers is expect-
ed to be completed in 2015.
A Memorial Waterfall known
as Reflecting Absence was
constructed at the site. The
walls around the memorial
waterfall has names of 2,977
people who lost their lives
that day will be inscribed
around the edge.
This was a tragic day in our
lives on September 11, 2001.
The lives that were lost will
be in our hearts and prayers
forever. As Americans we
will move on and rebuild, as
we live in the best country. I
am proud to be an American,
but will never forget what
happened on September 11,
2001 in New York City. God
Bless the families who have
lost a loved one. They will
never be forgotten.
One Nation Under God
Claire Sensibaugh
God. How can anyone
think of our country and
not see Gods handprint?
Our declaration of indepen-
dence says, We hold these
truths to be self-evident that
all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by
their CREATOR with cer-
tain unalienable rights. Our
laws are based on the Ten
Commandments; our Pledge
of Allegiance states One
nation under God, on our
currency the phrase In God
we Trust can be seen. Our
founding fathers were men
of great faith in God. Every
president has placed his right
hand on the Bible to be sworn
into office. Overall, I think
God is a huge part of our
government.
Flag. Our country has had
a lot of interesting history
behind it. One part is our great
American Flag. Our flag isnt
just a symbol, it has meaning.
The fifty stars represent the fifty
states we have today; the thir-
teen stripes represent the thir-
teen original colonies. I think
it is pretty cool our country has
put meaning to the flag. When
the pledge or Star Spangled
Banner comes on I believe
everyone should remove their
hats, face the flag, put their
hand on their heart and show
respect to the flag. Showing
respect to our flag is something
everyone should do.
Country. I have great
pride in America. We are a
strong nation with freedoms
like no other. I cant imagine
living in any other country
besides America. In my eyes
everyone should show honor
and respect to our flag, coun-
try and veterans. Veterans
do things I cant imagine
doing. Our founding fathers
didnt give all they had for
us to take our freedoms for
granted. I think everyone
should be thankful for their
freedoms, I know I am very
thankful for mine.
God
Bailey Gormon
What comes to mind
when you hear the word god?
Savior? Creator? Father? Or
maybe even nothing at all.
Throughout the past cou-
ple of years Ive been really
thinking about what heaven
looks like and what God and
Jesus really look like and let
me tell you that I can only
imagine. I have my ideas and
beliefs, but everyone does. I
dont think that you have to
go to church every Sunday
to go to heaven or that if you
say a few bad things here and
there that you will go to hell.
I personally dont go to
church every Sunday, but I do
pray. How often do you pray?
What even is it? I think that
it is as simple as just talking
to God. Tell him about your
day. Tell him your concerns.
Now that we have talked
about praying, here are some
how-tos. You have heard of it
before. Its based on the word
A-C-T-S.
A stands for adoration.
Adoration is praising God
and telling him how truly
Awesome he really is.
C stands for confession.
When you confess your sins
be as specific as possible
because if you are confessing
the same thing over and over
again you will catch yourself
and can ask God for help.
T stands for thanksgiving.
Thank the Lord for all of the
many daily blessings he gives
you.
Last but not least, S stands
for supplication. Supplication
is humbly asking God to help
you with your personal needs
and the needs of others.
God is present, God always
will be, and through God we
can all have eternal life. God
bless and have a great day.

COLUMBUS (AP) A
newspaper reports that an ini-
tial rate plan submitted to Ohio
utility regulators by American
Electric Power did not include
increases to small businesses
that have since been approved.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports Sunday that an analysis
shows the plan proposed a year
ago would have increased rates
for large manufactures and
reduced them for many small
businesses. The changes came
after settlement talks with vari-
ous companies and groups.
The Public Utilities

approved the plan has received
at least 370 complaints about
small business rates that took
effect last month. A commis-

will address the issue.
CLEVELAND (AP) The
bodies of a Cleveland woman
and her 1-year-old daughter
were found early Sunday in a
garage along with the body of
the estranged boyfriend sus-
pected of kidnapping them a
day earlier, police said.
Latasha Jackson, 19, and
daughter Chaniya Wynn were
found with gunshot wounds
shortly before 3 a.m. in the
closed garage at an unoccu-
pied building, said Cleveland
Police Sgt. Sammy Morris.
He said it appears the suspect,
Thomas Lorde, had shot him-
self in the head. The Cuyahoga
County coroner was to deter-
mine the causes of death.
Lorde, 35, had abducted
Jackson and Wynn around noon
Saturday as the mother walked
with her 14-year-old brother
and pushed the girl in a stroller,
according to a police report.
The teen said Lorde pulled
a gun and ordered him to walk
away, saying he was going
to kill Jackson and take the
child, the report says.
Police said the couple had
dated for about two months
and that Jackson was trying to
end the relationship.
An Amber Alert issued
following their disappearance
described Lorde, whose last
known address was listed in
Cleveland, as a violent sex-
ual predator with outstand-
ing felony warrants in New
York. A phone number for the
Cleveland address could not
be found.
Telephone messages seeking
comment with family members
of Jackson and Wynn were not
immediately returned.

The Cincinnati Enquirer
STONELICK (AP) For
134 years, a covered bridge
has stood over the gurgling
waters of Stonelick Creek in
southwest Ohio.
The one-lane, 140-foot-
long span is one of about
700 such bridges nationwide.
Bicyclists, photographers and
people taking country drives
are drawn to its picturesque,
wooded setting. One couple
even bought a nearby house
to be close to the bridge.
But while its always been
pretty, the wooden Stonelick
Covered Bridge started to
show signs of age. When a
recycling truck ignored the
3-ton weight limit and dam-
aged floor beams 21 months
ago, county officials were
reminded of what they already
knew: The bridge, listed
on the National Register of
Historic Places since 1974,
had to be fixed.
Nearby residents want it to
be restored. The county engi-
neer wants it to be preserved.
Those goals might sound
similar, but theyre different.
In the 19th century, about
15,000 covered bridges dot-
ted the U.S. landscape.
Until about 25 years ago,
the danger faced by such
bridges was outright demo-
lition. Today, the danger is
demolition through rede-
sign, said David Wright,
president of the National
Society for the Preservation
of Covered Bridges, based in
Westminster, Vt.
Which brings us to the
preservation-versus-resto-
ration debate surrounding
the Stonelick bridge, one of
about 140 covered bridges
left in Ohio.
This is history right
here in our county, and it
needs to be recognized and
protected, said Stonelick
Township resident Eileen
Kromer. Anybody can build
a modern bridge. Can you
keep an old one? Thats the
question.
Kromer is among 500
people who signed a peti-
tion opposing a preservation
plan proposed by the county
engineer. The petition calls
instead for an authentic, his-
toric restoration.
That effort has been
led by Tim and Catherine
Rush-Ossenbeck. While on
a country drive on Stonelick
Williams Corner Road 32
years ago, they crossed the
red bridge and saw that a
house on the south side of it
was for sale. They bought it
that day.
We moved out here into
(our) house because of the
covered bridge, said Tim
Rush-Ossenbeck, a 62-year-
old electrical engineer.
But neither the Rush-
Ossenbecks nor anyone
else has been able to use
the bridge since that May
incident involving the recy-
cling truck. Clermont County
Engineer Patrick Manger said
he closed the span after an
inspection revealed a number
of damaged floor beams.
Even before that incident,
plans were being made to
shore up the aging structure.
In 2008, Mangers office
applied to the National
Historic Covered Bridge
Preservation Program and
received a $360,000 feder-
al grant, which requires a
$90,000 local match.
Manger also hired a cov-
ered bridge consultant, John
Smolen, who presented five
preservation options. After
two public meetings, officials
settled on a $1.1 million plan
that essentially involves con-
structing a new bridge inside
the old one, which would pre-
serve most of the old bridge.
The new bridge consist-
ing of arches made of glued
laminated timber would
support both the old bridge
and vehicular traffic.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP)
If Mitt Romney wins the
Republican nomination for
president, hell face the urgent
task of inspiring the partys
conservative core and rallying
them to beat President Barack
Obama.
Judging by his performanc-
es in the primaries and cau-
cuses so far, and the challenge
he faces next week, hes got
his work cut out for him.
Even Republicans who
think hell be the nominee
worry about whether he can
generate the intensity required
to beat the Democratic incum-
bent.
These party leaders and
activists, from the states vot-
ing Feb. 28 and the most con-
tested ones ahead in the fall,
say Romney has made strides
toward addressing this prob-
lem. But, they say, he needs
to do more to convince the
Republican base that hes run-
ning to fundamentally reverse
the nations course, not simply
manage what they see as the
federal governments mess.
I think Romney will be
the nominee, but there is still
tremendous work to be done,
said Sally Bradshaw, a Florida
Republican and adviser to for-
mer Gov. Jeb Bush. He has
got to find a way to unify the
party and increase the intensity
of support for him among vot-
ers who have supported Newt
Gingrich, or Rick Santorum
or Ron Paul or someone else.
And that is going to be the key
to how he does in the fall.
Romney leads in the del-
egate count for the nomina-
tion, and by a wide margin in
private polling ahead of the
Arizona primary Feb. 28. But
the rising challenge from for-
mer Pennsylvania Sen. Rick
Santorum in the contest also
that day in Michigan, where
Romney was born and raised,
underscores doubts about
Romneys ability to ignite fer-
vor in the GOP base.
By ROBERT BURNS
AP National
Security Writer
WASHINGTON The
Obama administrations
consideration of severe cuts
in nuclear weapons gener-
ated a flurry of GOP criti-
cism reckless lunacy in
the words of Arizona Rep.
Trent Franks. But the histori-
cal record shows that in the
two decades since the Cold
War ended, Republicans have
been the boldest cutters of the
nuclear arsenal.
Republican presidents
seem to have a thing for 50
percent nuclear reductions,
says Hans Kristensen, a
nuclear arms specialist with
the Federation of American
Scientists, a think tank found-
ed by many of the scientists
who built the first atomic
bombs.
For example, on President
George H.W. Bushs watch,
the number of deployed
weapons as well as those held
in reserve was nearly cut in
half, from 22,217 to 13,708
warheads, according to offi-
cial U.S. government figures.
The number of deployed stra-
tegic warheads dropped from
12,300 to 7,114 in that same
period, by Kristensens cal-
culations.
As part of that move,
taken as fears of a nucle-
ar Armageddon at the Cold
Wars end were diminish-
ing, the Republican presi-
dent announced in September
1991 that he unilaterally was
retiring all ground-based U.S.
nuclear weapons in Europe
and South Korea and remov-
ing all nuclear weapons from
U.S. naval surface ships.
Submarines remain armed
with nuclear missiles as part
of a triad of land-, air- and
sea-based weapons that is
the enduring core of the U.S.
nuclear arsenal.
President George W. Bush
went further, cutting the total
stockpile by 50 percent, from
10,526 to 5,273 warheads. By
Kristensens count, the num-
ber of deployed warheads fell
to 1,968 by the time Bush left
office in January 2009.
In his two terms,
Democratic President Bill
Clinton trimmed just a little
more than 2,000 warheads
from the stockpile.
No commander in chief,
however, ever cut the nuclear
force to as low a number as
Obama might under a set of
options that his administra-
tion is considering now.
One option is to cut the
number of deployed long-
range weapons to a range
of 1,000 to 1,100; a second
would drop it to between 700
and 800; a third is to go down
to between 300 and 400.
That compares with the
1,550 warhead limit set by
a U.S.-Russia arms pact,
known as the New START
treaty, which took effect one
year ago.
Rep. Michael Turner,
R-Ohio, said Friday that he
would be aghast at the notion
of deep cuts to the nuclear
force.
Never before has a presi-
dent done something like
this, Turner said. Yes,
presidents since Truman have
updated the nations nuclear
war plan. But I cannot find a
precedent for a president to
tell the national security team
that, regardless of the nucle-
ar weapons modernization
programs of China, Russia,
Pakistan, North Korea and
others, the U.S. should plan
to reduce to as low as 300
nuclear weapons.
Those three options, first
reported by The Associated
Press on Tuesday, have not
yet been presented to Obama
for a decision. James Miller,
the Pentagon official who has
led a study of U.S. strate-
gic nuclear weapons require-
ments, said Wednesday that
another option is to stick to
the 1,550 limit. But Miller
also suggested that getting
below 1,500 is more likely.
CUMMING, Ga. (AP)
Rick Santorum on Sunday
condemned what he called
President Barack Obamas
world view that elevates the
Earth above man, discourag-
ing increased use of natural
resources.
The GOP presidential can-
didate also slammed Obamas
health care overhaul for requir-
ing insurers to pay for prena-
tal tests that, Santorum said,
encourage more abortions.
A day after telling an Ohio
audience that Obamas agenda
is based on some phony the-
ology, not a theology based
on the Bible, Santorum said
he wasnt criticizing the presi-
dents Christianity.
Ive repeatedly said I
dont question the presidents
faith. Ive repeatedly said
that I believe the presidents
Christian, Santorum told
CBS Face the Nation.
I am talking about his
world view, and the way he
approaches problems in this
country. I think theyre dif-
ferent than how most people
do in America, he said in the
broadcast interview.
The former Pennsylvania
senator said Obamas environ-
mental policies promote ideas
of radical environmental-
ists, who, Santorum argues,
oppose greater use of the
countrys natural resources
because they believe man is
here to serve the Earth. He
said that was the reference he
was making Saturday in his
Ohio campaign appearance
when he denounced a phony
theology.
When pressed by report-
ers after he made the initial
remark, however, Santorum
made no mention of the presi-
dents environmental poli-
cies. Instead, he suggested
that Obama practices one
of the different stripes of
Christianity.
Santorum walked back
those comments on CBS
Sunday morning.
But later in the day, he
again criticized Obamas
theology with no ref-
erence to his environmental
policies while speaking
to more than 2,000 support-
ers gathered at a suburban
Atlanta megachurch.
The president is trampling
on a constitutional right,
Santorum said of the Obama
administrations recent deci-
sion to allow employees of
religious schools and hospitals
to have birth control covered
by their insurance policies.
It is imposing his ideol-
ogy on a group of people
expressing their theology,
their moral code, Santorum
told those gathered in the First
Redeemer Church, a mega-
church that hosted former
presidential candidate Mike
Huckabee four years ago.
Obamas campaign said
Santorums initial remarks
were another attack on the
presidents faith by Republican
rivals in a nominating contest
that has grown increasingly
bitter and negative.
Its just time to get rid
of this mindset in our poli-
tics that, if we disagree, we
have to question character
and faith, said Robert Gibbs,
Obamas former press secre-
tary, on ABCs This Week.
Those days have long
passed in our politics. Our
problems and our challenges
are far too great, Gibbs said.
Santorum said his claim
that Obamas health care
overhaul encourages abor-
tions stems from the require-
ment for insurance companies
to pay for prenatal testing,
which he said will result in
more pregnant women having
more procedures. He speci-
fied amniocentesis, a proce-
dure that can identify physical
problems in the unborn.
The bottom line is a lot of
prenatal tests are done to iden-
tify deformities in utero and
the customary procedure is to
encourage abortion, he said.
WASHINGTON -- Can
civility be saved?
This has become the ques-
tion du jour among scholars,
journalists and others who fret
about such things at dozens of
programs popping up around
the country. As a nation, we
seem to want to be a more
civil society, which is laudable
if, quite possibly, unlikely.
Inevitably, discussions
about the current state of
civility begin with disclaim-
ers and acknowledgement that
Americans have always been
a bunch of rowdies and ras-
cals. Previous eras have made
current incivility look like a
(real) tea party that erupts into
a food fight of crumpets and
scones.
A perennial favorite was
the caning administered by
South Carolina Rep. Preston
Brooks upon the person of
Massachusetts Sen. Charles
Sumner over a disagreement
about slavery and a question
of honor. And, of course,
there was that little episode
known as the Civil War.
Are we less civil today than
in the past? Not really, though
thanks to the pervasiveness
of media, it seems that way.
And, thanks to the general
coarsening of the culture amid
the breakdown of traditional
institutions, not to mention
families, rules of decorum
have suffered.
Even the imperative to
improve the tone of our inter-
actions is a constant through
history. Sometime around age
16, George Washington tran-
scribed a slim volume called
Rules of Civility & Decent
Behaviour In Company and
Conversation, which covered
everything from when and
how to spit to how to speak in
public. The 58th rule reads:
Let your Conversation be
without Malice or Envy, for
tis a Sign of a Tractable and
Commendable Nature: And in
all Causes of Passion admit
Reason to Govern.
Ahem, yes, well, tell that
to a certain congressman from
South Carolina. We should all
write Joe You lie! Wilson
a thank-you note for creating
a contemporary standard by
which to judge public expres-
sions of incivility. We might
also stamp a letter to the con-
gresswoman from California,
Maxine Waters, who recently
described House Republican
leaders as demons.
Like so many things, civil-
ity is in the perception of the
beholder, but we at least can
agree on a definition. Civility
is courtesy in behavior and
speech, otherwise known as
manners. In the context of the
public square, civility is man-
ners for democracy.
Unquestionably, our man-
ners have deteriorated since
Washingtons time, increas-
ingly so in recent years.
Manners have become quaint,
while behaviors once associ-
ated with rougher segments
of society have become main-
stream.
During my own childhood,
even private cursing was rare
and the third finger was some-
thing only the crudest people
used to express themselves.
No one I knew ever dropped
the F-bomb. The worst chil-
dren heard was an occasional
hell or damn, usually fol-
lowing an incident involving a
badly aimed hammer.
Given that manners have
faded in our interpersonal
relations, it shouldnt be sur-
prising that bad habits would
bleed into the public square.
Add to the equation our
social media, Internet access
and other avenues of instant
and, importantly, anonymous,
communication, and the bad
habits of the few become the
social pathology of the many.
As we further balkanize our-
selves, finding comfort in
virtual salons of ideological
conformity, it becomes easier
to dehumanize the other and
treat them accordingly.
Whom to blame and how
to fix it? It is tempting to
blame the media, especially
television, for the degrada-
tion of civility. Obviously
the food-fight formula that
attracts viewers to cable TV
isnt helpful, but we may pro-
test too much. We can always
change the channel, but peo-
ple arguing passionately are
more entertaining than solemn
folks speaking in measured
tones about Very Important
Issues. Conflict and spectacle
sell (see WWE and its distant
ancestor, the Colosseum). The
attraction is tied to our sport-
ing spirit and the lure of the
contest.
The clearest solution would
be unacceptable to most of us.
That is, the tamping down of
speech. Better that incivility
be revealed in the light of day
than that it be forced under-
ground, there to fester and
the underlying sentiments to
grow. Change -- if we really
want it -- has to come from
within, each according to his
own conscience.
The most media can do,
meanwhile, is strive to be
honest, accurate and fair, and
reward the coarsest among
us with scant attention. The
greatest threat to civility isnt
the random You lie! out-
burst. More threatening to our
firmament is the pandering
to ignorance, the elevation of
nonsense, and the distribution
of false information.
In the main, the Golden
Rule works pretty well. Best
taught in the home, it could
use some burnishing.

LIMA Twenty-one Tri-
County wrestlers advance
to the Division III Kettering
Fairmont District tourna-
ment starting Friday after
their performances at Friday
and Saturdays Lima Central
Catholic sectional.
Four of them: seniors
Curtis Miller (Jefferson) and
Logan Heiing (St. Johns),
his junior teammate Will
Buettner and Columbus
Grove junior Tregg Keysor;
will go in as champions from
the sectional.
Heiing who won his
100th match with a default
over Grove senior Gavin
Windau at 195 pounds) and
Buettner (who bested Wayne
Traces Sawyer Temple at
152) will lead a group of
seven Blue Jays to Kettering.
I was hoping to get it this
week; I got two pins to get to
the finals and got the default
in the finals, Heiing noted.
It has helped that I dont
play football; I get to do extra
work during the summer at
camps and also dont come
into the season beat up like
the football players.
The other Blue Jays
that clinched district berths
include runner-up in senior
Logan Looser (160); a pair
of third-placers in sophomore
Austin Martin (145) and
freshman Wes Buettner (126);
and fourth-place finishers in
juniors Luke Wrasman (170)
and Brett Schwinnen (182).
We had a good day with
seven advancing, including
two champions. Will had lost
to Temple twice this season,
so that was good for him to
finally beat him, St. Johns
coach Derek Sterling said.
Logan (Heiing) getting his
100th win here was nice. Wes
maybe the biggest surprise.
He got some revenge on guys
that beat him earlier and he
wrestled well to beat the
kid from Bath (Jake Bible).
All these guys have steadily
gotten better. Luke is still
coming back from injury and
Austin bumped up from 138
to get third. Brett continues to
get some good wins.
However, one who wont be
going on is senior 220-pound-
er Adam Haunhorst, who
could not wrestle this week-
end due to a skin condition.
Friday was the hardest
time I have ever had to deal
with a wrestler in 13 years
of coaching, telling him he
couldnt wrestle. I felt he
would qualify for district and
to have this happen as a senior
is tough, Sterling added.
Besides Miller, Jefferson
has four others heading
south: junior runner-up
Quentin Wessell (285); two
third-placers in junior Colin
McConnahea (195) and soph-
omore Gaige Rassman (113);
and fourth-place finisher in
senior Darren Edinger (152).
Sophomore Tanner
Vermule (132) was fifth to
become an alternate, while
junior Chris Truesdale (145)
and freshman Tyler Foust
(170) were sixth.
First-year Wildcat coach
Mike Wilson was pleased but
is not satisfied.
Weve had goals from the
start; we met one last week by
winning the NWC. The oth-
ers were to get as many wres-
tlers to district and beyond as
we could, Wilson acknowl-
edged. We are sending five
on and have at least one alter-
nate. That means we have at
least five opportunities to get
a wrestler to state.
Were going to work hard
this week to see if we can get
all five to state. You want to
keep people healthy but you
also have to keep working
and keep getting better at this
time of year. Well see what
we can do.
Grove will send three
others besides Keysor and
Windau: senior third-placers
Dylan Kleman (138) and
junior Brandon Benroth
(160); and sophomore fourth-
placer Brett Sampson (120),
Junior Adam Johnson
(220) will serve as an alter-
nate after ending up fifth.
We were hoping to get
six to district and two alter-
nates, so thats a little dis-
appointing. Still, to get five
down and have an alter-
nate is a good day, Grove
coach Eric Ernie Siefker
said. Brett had to beat the
(Trevor) Binkley kid from
Spencerville, who had beaten
him twice this year, to get to
the third-place match. Dylan
had to do the same in beating
Jake Schmidt twice to win
third. Brandon dropped down
from 170 and won some
tough matches to claim third.
We decided to default Gavin
in the finals due to injury; that
was just precautionary.
Well work hard this
week and see how many we
can move on.
Spencerville has three
moving on: junior Lucas
Krouskop (3rd at 220), junior
Cory Binkley (4th at 132) and
freshman Logan Vandemark
(4th at 285).
Junior Jake Bellows
(195) and sophomore Trevor
Bockey (120) are alternates,
while senior Tyler Shumate
(182) garnered sixth.
Spencerville coach Tom
Wegesin:
We only had eight wres-
tlers today and six of them
made it to the go-to round.
We had three advance to dis-
tricts next week and two alter-
nates, Spencerville coach Tom
Wegesin noted. We wrestled
today as well as expected and
even more. We won matches
we were supposed to and won
some extra matches we prob-
ably werent supposed to.
This time of year is what
Wegesin has built his coach-
ing around.
Its not about the matches
that you wrestle early in the
season; its about the last 12
matches of the season. That
is what weve been shooting
for; getting better to send as
many people on as possible,
he added.
Lincolnview has one
advancing in junior runner-up
Jacquobe Markward (106).
Sophomore Doug Hicks
(170) is an alternate, while
freshman Alex Rodriguez
(113) was sixth.
We are such a young
team. Out of the seven we had
wrestling today, five of them
were either freshmen or were
in their first year of wres-
tling, Lincolnview coach
Curtis Miller said. The one
that advanced Jacquobe
or is an alternate Doug
were the two guys with expe-
rience and were expected to
do well. Jacquobe was injured
at the Van Buren Invitational
and has been working back
from that; he tweaked it some
today, so we defaulted him to
Save him for next week.
Doug was in a tough
weight class; a lot of teams
decided to put someone in
that weight class because they
felt it was a better chance to
move on.
Miller, Heiing, Will Buettner, Keysor
lead Tri-County grapplers to Kettering
St. Johns Will Buettner claimed first in the 152-pound
class, beating Wayne Traces Sawyer Temple 5-2.
Due to byes and a forfeiture, Jefferson senior Curtis
Millers only match resulted in a pin against Coldwaters
Justin Post for first.

DELPHOS The inside-
out tandem of 6-3 senior Nate
Heffner and 6-3 sophomore
Taren Sullivan proved too
much for St. Johns to deal
with Saturday night, resulting
in a 56-42 Bath victory on the
Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium
court.
Heffner had a double-dou-
ble for the Wildcats (14-5)
before halftime (11 points, 11
rebounds) before finishing with
15 and 13, respectively, while
Sullivan (5 steals, 4 assists)
tossed in five triples en route to
18 counters.
Baths skill level is incred-
ibly high and thats a tough
matchup. They did basically
whatever they wanted to do,
St. Johns coach Aaron Elwer
explained. Heffner is a big,
strong and physical player with
a lot of skill. Sullivan is a
talented player; we knew how
capable he was of hitting the
3 but we lost him a couple of
times in transition.
The Blue Jays (11-8) placed
three in double digits with
junior Curtis Geise netting 14
and senior Tanner Calvelage
and junior Ryan Buescher
(8 boards) adding 11 each.
However, the Bath defense
held senior sharp-shooter Alex
Clark scoreless.
We knew Clark was a great
shooter, so our defensive game
plan was never help off of him.
We switched everything on the
perimeter because we have a lot
of versatility and we matched
up well, Bath coach Doug
Davis noted. We didnt let
them get a lot of open shots
from the perimeter, which was
another key; theyre too good
of shooters to give them open
looks.
Both squads went at it tooth-
and-nail in the first period,
with the Wildcats featuring six
players putting points in the
scorebook. The Jays matched
that with four, including six by
Geise. The Jays led only briefly
2-0 on a drive by Calvelage
just 10 ticks in and once
Sullivan hit a 3-ball a minute
later, the Jays never led again.
They did manage one last tie
14-all on a steal and layup
by Geise at 1:10. However, two
free tosses by Logan Rockhold
(5 dimes) at 32.6 seconds gave
Bath a lead they never gave up
again.
Heffner began to assert him-
self more in the second period,
dropping in seven points. As
well, he took control of the
glass, snatching eight in eight
minutes alone. With his work
inside, Bath steadily built its
lead and took a 36-25 halftime
bulge on a 3-ball from Sullivan
with 14 ticks on the clock.
The Jays slowed down
Heffner in the third period but
unfortunately for the Blue and
Gold, Sullivan picked up the
slack. He scored nine of Baths
13 points, including a pair of
triples, as the Jays could only
get within single digits early
on a basket by junior Seth
Bockey before Bath con-
trolled the rest of the canto.
Their lead reached 49-32 on a
putback by Cole Chambers at
41 seconds before Geise hit a
spinner in the paint just before
the horn for a 49-34 score-
board.
The closest the home team
could get in the fourth canto
was 11 49-38 as Bath
coasted to the triumph.
We were OK offensively.
We didnt shoot a great percent-
age but part of that was due
to Bath, Elwer added. They
apply a lot of pressure with
their quickness and length. We
didnt turn it over a lot but
when we did, they went the
other way. When you play the
type of talented competition we
played this weekend (Bath and
Fort Recovery), every posses-
sion gets magnified. We need
to shore those things up as we
close the season and prepare for
the tournament.
Bath connected on 22-of-
47 shots (7-of-17 trifectas) for
46.8 percent and 6-of-9 singles
(66.7%). They claimed 30 car-
oms (8 offensive) as Sullivan
added five. They added five
errors and nine fouls and will
visit Celina Friday to finish the
regular season.
Nate is more than capable
of playing at this level all the
time. Taren has the chance to
be a really good player in the
future, especially as he gets
physically stronger, Davis
added. One thing we werent
doing early on was rebounding
on the defensive end; they were
getting a lot of second chances.
Nate took it upon himself to
take control of the boards. After
that, every timeout and at half-
time, we told the kids to give
him some help there.
St. Johns closed shooting
38 percent from the field (19-
of-50, 2-of-13 downtown) and
33.3 percent at the line (2-of-6).
They controlled 29 rebounds
(10 offensive) as sophomore
Cody Looser added five. They
amassed eight miscues and a
like number of fouls. They close
regular-season play Friday at
home versus Coldwater.
In junior varsity clash, St.
Johns outscored Bath 13-5 in
overtime to secure a 49-41 win.
Sophomore Ryan Koester
dropped in 17 to pace the
Jays (11-8), while Trent Jones
notched 14 and Jake Raesky
added 12 for the Wildcats
(9-10).
Senior Tanner Calvelage splits a pair of Bath defenders,
including Natt Heffner, for two of his 11 points Saturday
night. However, Heffners double-double was crucial in the
Wildcats 14-point win at Arnzen Gymnasium.

Wildcats use inside-out
tandem to down Jays
ANN ARBOR, Mich.
Thad Matta knows his team
can shoot. Thats why the
coach was stunned by Ohio
States performance Saturday
night.
The sixth-ranked
Buckeyes shot 38.8 per-
cent almost 10 per-
centage points below
their season average
and missed 13-of-16 3-point-
ers in a 56-51 loss to No. 17
Michigan.
Ive never coached a team
that has worked harder at
shooting the basketball than
this one and we are good at it,
Matta said. There was one
possession tonight where we
missed a wide-open shot, got
the rebound, missed another
wide-open shot, got another
rebound and missed a third
wide-open shot. As I told our
kids after the game, at some
point you have to hit some-
thing if you want to win.
All-America forward Jared
Sullinger struggled for Ohio
State, hitting just 6-of-14
shots for 14 points and grab-
bing eight rebounds and turn-
ing the ball over three times.
He struggled in his head-to-
head matchup with Michigan
sophomore Jordan Morgan,
who had his first career dou-
ble-double, finishing with 11
points and 11 rebounds.
Ohio State (22-5, 10-4 Big
Ten) and Michigan (20-7,
10-4) are now tied for second
place in the Big Ten, a half-
game behind Michigan State.
This is a very special day
for this program, Michigan
coach John Beilein said.
There are a lot of small vic-
tories that come when you are
rebuilding a program, and this
was one of them.
The star of the night was
Sullingers high school team-
mate, a true freshman who
was introduced to the fired-
up crowd as, The pride
of Columbus, Ohio, Trey
Burke.
The point guard finished
with 17 points, including a
game-clinching runner with
11 seconds left that
helped Michigan stop a
6-game losing streak to
the Buckeyes. Burkes
rainbow shot floated over
Sullinger, hit high off
the backboard and dropped
through the net.
Deshaun Thomas fin-
ished with 25 points and 13
rebounds for Ohio State.
With the Michigan stu-
dent section all revved up in
its Maize Rage, the first
half was a defensive struggle.
Neither team was able to break
40 percent from the floor and
Ohio States seven turnovers
were the major difference
the Wolverines had only three
while taking a 25-20 lead.
The Buckeyes missed all
nine 3-point attempts in the
first half but Thomas knocked
one down on Ohio States first
possession after the break.
Morgan, though, had a
pair of fast-break dunks, both
off long bounce passes from
Burke, to give Michigan a
33-25 advantage. The lead
got as big as 10 before three
straight baskets by Sullinger
pulled Ohio State within
42-38.
The Buckeyes couldnt get
any closer than three, how-
ever, and Burkes layup made
it 54-49 with 1:17 left.
Burke blocked a shot at
the other end, then missed the
front end of a 1-and-1. Aaron
Craft made two free throws
but Burke ran the clock down
to 11 seconds before hitting
the clinching shot and sending
the crowd into a frenzy.
The victory improved
Michigan to 15-0 at the
remodeled Crisler Center.

MILLER CITY For the
second consecutive season, the
Columbus Grove Bulldogs boys
basketball team captured at least
a share of the Putnam County
League title as they knocked off
the Miller City Wildcats 49-44 on
Saturday night in Miller City.
The Bulldogs can get the title
outright if Fort Jennings defeats
Leipsic in their season finale on
Friday night.
The Bulldogs got quick starts
in the first three quarters, includ-
ing a 9-0 run in the first stanza
and a 8-0 spurt to begin the sec-
ond quarter. Grove used a bal-
anced scoring attack with three
players reaching double figures:
Jordan Travis 14 points, Wade
Heffner 13 markers and Collin
Grothaus 12 points.
However, it was Ross
Kaufman that stole the show for
the Wildcats, delivering on 12-of-
13 shots from the foul line and
accumulating 30 points.
The Wildcats shot 17-of-22
as a team from the charity stripe;
Grove was 8-of-12, with Heffner
connecting on 4-of-5 attempts.
The hosts rebounded from a
9-2 deficit in the first canto with
Kaufman delivering eight points
as it was a 1-point contest, 11-10
in favor of the Bulldogs, heading
into the second period.
Just as they had started the
game, the visitors tallied the first
eight points of the second eight
minutes, extending their lead to
19-10. Just as in the first, the
Wildcats replied in the second
frame as Kaufman put up 10 more
points. He went a perfect 8-of-8
from the line. Connor Kohls gave
the guests the late lead by hitting
two from the line with just over a
minute to go before the break for
a 25-24 edge.
The third stanza was a back-
and-forth affair as the lead
changed hands four times and
neither team led by more than
four points. The Bulldogs took
the late advantage on a Grothaus
jumper from the paint with 32
seconds left, giving the hosts a
35-33 advantage.
Miller City contained Travis
in the first three quarters but
the senior finally broke through
midway into the fourth, hitting
back-to-back long-range shots
and giving the Bulldogs some
much-needed momentum. Grove
took a 39-35 lead on a Heffner
steal and conversion for two and
took its biggest lead of the second
half (49-39) when Will Vorhees
connected on a reverse layup with
just over a minute to go and start-
ing the chants of PCL from the
Columbus Grove student section.
However, Miller City didnt go
down without a fight as they
scored the next five points and
made it a little interesting to the
final buzzer.
In the JV contest, the Bulldogs
outlasted Miller City 40-32.
Grove hosts Jefferson Friday
in an NWC closer.
On the girls side at Pandora-
Gilboa, the Lady Bulldogs
wrapped up their regular season
against their SR 12 archrival
Pandora-Gilboa Rockets Saturday
afternoon on what looked as if
was going to be a good afternoon
for the Dogs. Grove jumped out
to a 15-8 lead in the first period
but were held scoreless in the
second frame as the hosts ran
off a 9-0 run in the second eight
minutes of play and went on to a
38-28 victory.
Megan Maag led all scorers
for the Rockets with 13 points.
Anna Ricker paced the Lady
Bulldogs with 11 markers and
Nikki Stechschulte added eight.
Grove trailed by just a 17-15
count at the break even after the
goose egg in the second stanza.
Despite outscoring the Rockets
in the third 7-6, they trailed 23-22
heading into the fourth. The home
team took a 15-6 advantage in the
final period and a late surge by
the home team was enough to put
PG over the top for the win.
The Bulldogs shot just 26
percent from the field, including
1-of-10 from long range, with
Pandora-Gilboa connecting on
just 11-of-25 (44 percent) from
inside the arc and 1-of-12 from
long range.
Sydney McCluer had the lone
3-pointer for the guests. Ashley
Williams struck for the lone long-
range shot for the Lady Rockets.
P-G dominated the battle of
the boards as well 29-11. Despite
the poor shooting performance
from the field by both teams, both
were able to make an impres-
sive effort from the foul line: the
Bulldogs hit on 11-of-16 attempts
(69%), with Ricker hitting 7-of-8;
Maag duplicated Rickers effort
for the Rockets.
The loss sends the Bulldogs
to 9-11 on the season (2-5 PCL),
P-G improves to 12-8 overall
(4-3 PCL).
Both teams start their tour-
nament run on Tuesday with
the Bulldogs getting a rematch
against Fort Jennings at 6:15 p.m.
from Bluffton; the Rockets square
off against Ayersville in the night-
cap at Ottawa-Glandorf.

MINSTER Saturday
afternoon, two perennial girls
basketball programs met in
Minster to conclude their regu-
lar season.
The Ottoville Lady Green,
under the veteran leadership
of coach Dave Kleman, faced
the Minster Lady Wildcats
under veteran Coach Nann
Stechschulte. At stake for the
Lady Green was an undefeated
season with a win over the
Lady Wildcats.
The home team put up a val-
iant effort but the Lady Green
came away with a 43-36 win
and capped off its undefeated
regular season.
Early in the game, Minster
used its inside/outside game
of seniors Kayla Wuebker (2
3-pointers) and 6-2 Tara Clune
(5 points) to take the lead and
finish off the first quarter lead-
ing the Lady Green 12-11.
The second quarter started
off very slowly in the scoring
column for both teams until the
4:35 mark when senior Lauren
Kramer gave Ottoville its first
lead of the quarter 15-12 with
a 3-pointer from the right side.
It would be the last time the
Lady Green trailed as they
went on to outscore the home
team 12-5 in the quarter to
take a 23-17 lead to the locker
room.
In the first half, the Lady
Green was led by junior Abby
Siefkers 12 points and getting
help off the bench with junior
Rachel Beining (4)
and sophomore Tonya
Kaufman (2).
As the third quar-
ter began, the Lady
Wildcats cut the deficit
to 23-21. That would be
as close as the Wildcats
would get to the Lady
Green again. The visi-
tors closed out the quar-
ter outscoring the home
team 13-12 to lead 36-29.
The final stanza saw the
Lady Greens depth becoming
a big factor, with Klemans
ability to substitute eight girls
in and out without missing a
beat wearing down the Lady
Wildcats.
Kleman really likes the
rotation he has going on:
Were very fortunate. Weve
got three girls: Rachel, Tonya
and Nicole (Vorst) that come
off the bench for us that would
probably start for most teams
we faced this year.
Both teams scored seven
points in the final quarter as
the Lady Green, behind the
great effort on the offensive
and defensive ends of the court
by Siefker, went on to finish a
perfect regular campaign.
Kleman praised Siefkers
efforts in the game: Theres
not been many times this year
where Abby has not been
double- or tripled-teamed for
most of the game. Today, she
was able to take advantage
of Minsters 1-on-1 defense
and as good players do in big
games, lead the team to vic-
tory. Abby, in addition
to our whole team, is
very unselfish.
Kleman was very
proud of his team and
coaching staff for their
regular-season accom-
plishments but knows
next week starts tour-
nament where you
need to be on your
game every night:
We started the season with
many goals. A 20-0 regular
season is quite the accom-
plishment concerning our
schedule. Coach (Vaughn)
Horstman and Coach (Deb)
Lindeman have really helped
me and I cant say enough
good things about them.
My seniors Lauren (Koch),
Lauren (Kramer) and Megan
(Bendele) have brought to the
table that senior leadership
youre always looking for.
Junior Bridget Geiger led
the Wildcats (13-6) in scoring
with 12 points, followed by
Clune and Wuebker with 11
and nine points, respectively.
For the game, they were 29
percent (15-of-52) from the
field, hauling in 21 rebounds
and committing 10 turnovers.
The Wildcats begin play on
the tournament trail Saturday
night at Coldwater with a 6:15
p.m. tipoff against Tuesday
nights Fort Recovery/St.
Henry winner.
The Lady Green (20-0)
were led by Siefker with a
game-high 20 points (10-14
from the stripe). Kaufman,
Bendele and Beining added
nine, four and four points,
respectively. They shot
36 percent (12-of-33) from
the field, hauled down 30
rebounds and committed 16
turnovers. The next season
starts Saturday at Bluffton
with an 8 p.m. tip against
Tuesdays Continental/Perry
victor.
In the JV contest, the Lady
Green came away with the
victory by a score of 40-36.

Lady Green clinches
perfect regular season

OTTOVILLE The state-
ranked Leipsic Vikings boys bas-
ketball team headed to Ottoville
Saturday night to take on the
Big Green in L.W. Heckman
Gymnasium.
Ottovilles defense gave
Leipsic a battle, holding the lead
for the first three and a half
quarters of play, but the Vikings
pulled out a close 50-47 Putnam
County League victory.
Leipsic improved to 15-3
overall (6-1 PCL), while
Ottoville fell to 3-16 on the sea-
son (0-7 PCL).
The Big Green quickly sur-
prised the Vikings and took a
9-2 lead when Ryan Honigford
found Kevin Schnipke under
the basket for two points. With
another bucket from Schnipke
at the end of the first quarter,
Ottoville took a 13-6 lead as
the home teams defense kept
Leipsic to just one field goal in
the first eight minutes.
With back-to-back buck-
ets from Devin Mangas and a
3-pointer by Zach Kuhlman,
Leipsic tied the game at 17-17
with 5:15 left in the second.
Ottoville then went on an 11-6
run to close out the half with bas-
kets from Derek Schimmoeller
and Schnipke in leading 28-23.
Ottoville made 8-of-11 field
goals in the first half as the Vikings
went 6-of-15 from the floor.
The third quarter opened with
both teams trading baskets until
a Brandt Landin drive gave the
Big Green a 38-36 edge going
into the fourth quarter.
Ottoville took its largest
lead, 45-36, with a 3-point play
from Derek Schimmoeller at the
6:10 mark of the fourth quarter.
Leipsic replied with an 11-1 run
with baskets from Ty Maag and
a putback from Aric Schroeder.
Leipsic took its first lead, 47-46,
with 2:50 left on a putback from
Caleb Barrera. A Mangas jump-
er gave the Vikings a 49-46 lead
with 40 seconds left. After Luke
Schimmoeller made 1-of-2 free
throws, Leipsic missed from the
charity stripe and the Big Green
had one more chance to tie but
fell short.
I feel really bad for our kids
and I think if every team played
the way they did, then we all
should be able to play that way,
Ottoville coach Todd Turnwald
said. I am really disappointed in
the calls and I think our kids real-
ly battled tonight and to have that
taken away from us, its tough.
Derek Schimmoeller led all
scorers with 17 points. Schnipke
added 14 points, eight rebounds
and three blocks for Ottoville.
They did a great job of tak-
ing away our dribble drive and
we werent cutting to the bas-
ket, Leipsic coach Scott Maag
said. We stood around and
waited for our guards to make
shots but we werent hitting
tonight, either.
Maag and Kuhlman tied
with a team-high 11 points for
Leipsic. Mangas added nine.
Leipsic won the junior var-
sity contest 47-25.

For Mardi Gras float
makers, next year is here
NEW ORLEANS (AP)
As Carnival builds toward its
out-of-control crescendo of Fat
Tuesday, Barry Kern and his
team of float-builders and art-
ists are already preparing for
next years parades.
One of the biggest free
parties in the world fuels a
multimillion-dollar industry
for the city of New Orleans
and the lifeblood of businesses
like Kerns studio, which has
been operating for more than
50 years and makes or repur-
poses some 400 floats a year,
or roughly a float a day, Kern
said.
The Mardi Gras season,
which includes weeks of
parades, fancy balls and par-
ties leading up to the big day,
draws hundreds of thousands
of visitors to New Orleans
each year, said Kelly Schulz,
spokeswoman for the New
Orleans Convention and
Visitors Bureau. Schulz said
a recent study conducted by
Tulane University estimated
the direct economic impact of
Mardi Gras at roughly $144
million.
Some studies estimate the
economic impact at more
than $500 million, said Arthur
Hardy, a Mardi Gras historian.
Theres no way to know
for sure because we dont sell
tickets, Hardy said. Mardi
Gras started small, in private
homes and private balls, and
its evolved into this festival
that some estimate produces
more than a half-billion dollars
a year.
Attendance is also hard to
gauge, but every Mardi Gras
hotels are full, or close to it,
Schultz said.
The city will be virtually
sold out, Schulz said. Mardi
Gras and music, especially on
the international scene, are our
big sells.
In the weeks leading up to
Mardi Gras, more than 100
parades roll into New Orleans
and its suburbs. The big parad-
ing clubs, like Rex, Zulu,
Bacchus, Endymion, Orpheus
and Muses, hire Kerns stu-
dio to build the floats. Smaller
clubs make their own by deco-
rating trailers with everything
from paint to crepe paper.
Hardy said more than
100,000 people ride in parades
each year, and each rider can
spend as much as $2,000 to
$3,000 in fees, costumes and
throws. Thousands more are
spent on king cakes and the
grand balls and parties, he said.
Its a money-maker for the
city, but thats not why we
do it, Hardy said. We do it
because we like to celebrate.
Its a free party we give our-
selves and our guests.
Theres big money in it.
Major parade krewes often
spend hundreds of thousands
of dollars to have Kerns studio
make their floats. Depending
on whether the floats are being
built from the ground up or
repurposed, the price can range
anywhere from $10,000 to
$100,000.
Kern declines to say just
how much revenue his com-
pany takes in annually. But
over the years the floats have
become larger and more ornate,
and more expensive.
They can be as high as 18
feet and up to 50 feet long,
carry dozens of riders and be
wired with electricity for deco-
rative lights and moving parts.
Teams of painters, artists and
sculptors make props and dec-
orations that will be attached to
the floats. Music-themed floats
can include props of Louis
Armstrong and local favorite
Professor Longhair. Some are
modeled after characters in
Greek mythology, such as the
Muses of dance, poetry, music
and other arts.
It takes an entire year to
prepare enough floats to roll
through the streets of New
Orleans and its suburbs, Kern
said.
Its a constant process,
Kern said. Its like an assem-
bly line.
With the revelry of Fat
Tuesday at hand, Kerns prepa-
ration for Mardi Gras 2013 has
already begun.
We already have all the
designs for all our major clients
for 2013, and weve already got
props and things picked out,
Kern said. Literally, the day
after Mardi Gras, were back
to work and the process gets
started almost immediately.

MARCH is National Colorectal Cancer
Awareness Month

Things to DoNow that Im 50
If you are 50 years old or older, YOU are at risk for colon cancer,
even if you do not have a family history or symptoms.
While Colorectal Cancer is often found after symptoms appear,
most people with early colon or rectal cancer have no symptoms of the
disease. Symptoms often appear only with more advanced disease.
That is why getting the recommended screening tests
BEFORE symptoms develop is so important.

Colon polyps are the seeds for colon cancer
By finding and removing them,
we hope to keep the garden clear

South gets dumped on
RICHMOND, Va. (AP)
A winter storm that
dumped several inches of
snow across parts of the
South, causing power out-
ages, slippery roads and
numerous accidents during
the Presidents Day holiday
weekend, moved out to sea
today.
Crews were working to
restore power to tens of
thousands of households that
lost electricity as a result of
the storm.
The storm brought as
much as 9 inches of snow
to some areas on Sunday
as it powered its way from
Kentucky and Tennessee to
West Virginia, Virginia and
North Carolina. The storm
system was expected to push
off the coast early today,
with the nations capital
getting only snow flurries,
according to the National
Weather Service.
The storm hit toward the
end of what has been an
otherwise mild winter in the
region.
In northern Tennessee,
about 20 vehicles were
involved in crashes along
a three-mile stretch of
Interstate 75 near the
Kentucky border on Sunday
afternoon.
Tennessee Highway
Patrol Sgt. Stacy Heatherly
said the crashes were report-
ed shortly before 2 p.m. in
near white-out conditions
caused by heavy snowfall
and fog. Police said a youth
was seriously injured. All
lanes of Interstate 75 had
reopened by early evening.
Dozens of wrecks were
also reported in North
Carolina as snow, sleet and
rain fell with little accu-
mulation, according to The
Winston-Salem Journal.
In Virginia, the north-
bound lanes of Interstate
95 were shut down fol-
lowing a two-vehicle crash
that critically injured
one man, The Richmond
Times-Dispatch reported.
The accident was reported
at about 6:20 p.m. on I-95
near the interchange with
Interstate 295 in Prince
George County. The male
driver of one vehicle suf-
fered life-threatening inju-
ries, and an adult male pas-
senger in the same vehicle
also was hospitalized.
Snow began sticking in
the Richmond area after dark,
and Virginia State Police
had responded to about 700
crashes as of 10 p.m.
The News & Observer of
Raleigh reported that only
an inch or two of snow had
fallen north of Interstate 85
in North Carolina, though
more was expected close to
the Virginia line.
The weather service has
issued a winter weather
advisory for the Raleigh-
Durham area until 9 a.m.
today. Officials were advis-
ing motorists to use caution
when driving in the morning,
as some return to work and
others travel on Presidents
Day.
Wet snow also downed
power lines. Appalachian
Power was reporting that
52,000 customers were
without power Sunday
night in central and south-
ern Virginia, as well as in
West Virginia. Dominion
Energy was reporting anoth-
er 16,000 outages, mostly
in the Richmond, Va., area
and Shenandoah Valley.
Kentucky Power said 23,000
households were without
power Sunday night.
Nick Fillo, a meteorolo-
gist in the National Weather
Services Blacksburg, Va.,
office, said 5 to 8 inches of
snow fell in the Blue Ridge
Mountains, while about 3 to
6 inches fell on that states
Piedmont region.
This was our first real
winter storm, Fillo said.
The weather service said
late Sunday that the snow-
fall was diminishing in both
intensity and coverage and
would end today morning.
Fillo said a low-pres-
sure system would be com-
ing out of the Rockies this
week, bringing snow to the
Great Lakes area but not
significantly affecting the
South.

Juggernaut: something huge and unrelenting that
smashes everything in its path
Vrille: an aerobatic spinning nose dive
By LINDSEY TANNER
AP Medical Writer
CHICAGO A small
but growing number of teens
and even younger children
who think they were born the
wrong sex are getting sup-
port from parents and from
doctors who give them sex-
changing treatments, accord-
ing to reports in the medical
journal Pediatrics.
Its an issue that raises
ethical questions, and some
experts urge caution in treating
children with puberty-block-
ing drugs and hormones.
An 8-year-old second-
grader in Los Angeles is a
typical patient. Born a girl,
the child announced at 18
months, I a boy and has
stuck with that belief. The
family was shocked but now
refers to the child as a boy
and is watching for the first
signs of puberty to begin
treatment, his mother told
The Associated Press.
Pediatricians need to know
these kids exist and deserve treat-
ment, said Dr. Norman Spack,
author of one of three reports
published today and director of
one of the nations first gen-
der identity medical clinics, at
Childrens Hospital Boston.
If you open the doors,
these are the kids who come.
Theyre out there. Theyre in
your practices, Spack said in
an interview.
Switching gender roles
and occasionally pretending
to be the opposite sex is com-
mon in young children. But
these kids are different. They
feel certain they were born
with the wrong bodies.
Some are labeled with
gender identity disorder,
a psychiatric diagnosis. But
Spack is among doctors who
think thats a misnomer.
Emerging research suggests
they may have brain differ-
ences more similar to the
opposite sex.
Spack said by some esti-
mates, 1 in 10,000 children
have the condition.
Offering sex-changing
treatment to kids younger than
18 raises ethical concerns, and
their parents motives need to
be closely examined, said Dr.
Margaret Moon, a member
of the American Academy of
Pediatrics bioethics commit-
tee. She was not involved in
any of the reports.

THE DELPHOS
HERALD
(419) 695-0015
Dear Annie: I have
two grown children,
both married with kids.
My youngest, Carrie,
has a 14-year-old
daughter who has been
seeing a boy for a year.
The other day, we
were visiting Carrie,
and my granddaughter
and her boyfriend got
very cozy at the din-
ing room table while
we were eating dinner.
They started kissing and
making out in front of
the entire family. Carrie
didnt say a word.
I think this is terrible.
Carrie is not the easi-
est person to approach
about it, however. If I
say anything to her, I
doubt shell respond
well. Any suggestions?
-- Grandmother in
Boston
Dear Boston:
Carrie may have rea-
sons for ignoring such
inappropriate behavior.
Perhaps this teenage
granddaughter already
has plenty of issues
with her mother, and
Carrie has decided to
ignore as much as she
can. If you spend time
alone with your grand-
daughter (and we rec-
ommend it), you can
discuss these things
directly and calmly
with her. Otherwise, it
would be a good idea to
stay out of it.
Dear Annie: My
dentist performed a
root canal on the wrong
tooth. Because of his
mistake, I had to go
through two root canals
and two crown preps.
He didnt charge me for
the one he did in error,
but I did get a
bill for more
than $2,000
for the other.
I feel vio-
lated. Crowns
do not last
as long as
natural teeth,
so Ive lost
a perfectly
good piece of
my anatomy.
The dentist
now says I
eventually would have
needed a root canal
there anyway, but thats
not true. I have X-rays
from another den-
tist that show nothing
wrong with that tooth.
I know I could sue
him for malpractice, but
I dont want the stress
of going to court. And
the dentist told me if I
sue and dont prove my
case, he would counter-
sue with a defamation
claim.
Should I report him
to the dental board?
Should I inform my
family, since I have rec-
ommended this dentist
in the past? -- A Lakes
Region
Dear Region:
Telling your family is
your choice. Mistakes
can happen in any pro-
fession. However, this
dentist should have
apologized profusely
instead of becoming
defensive and threaten-
ing you with a coun-
tersuit. We
recommend
you call your
state dental
society about
resolving this
conflict. If
that doesnt
help, you
can consult
an attorney
and find out
whether its
worth pursu-
ing a finan-
cial solution.
Dear Annie: This
is for Desperate To
Help, who is con-
cerned about a 54-year-
old friend who has a
great sense of humor
and a good heart and
is morbidly obese.
Dear Desperate:
Do you enjoy the com-
pany of people who are
constantly criticizing
your choices? Enjoy
your friend for who he
is, and stop trying to
change him.
If you invite him for
a walk, walk at his pace
and let him choose the
distance. Talk about the
scenery and the weath-
er. Share a joke. Do not
mention anything about
health, or he will know
the only reason youre
walking with him is to
deliver yet another lec-
ture on what an ugly
piece of blubber you
think he is.
If you invite him
for a meal, make it
what you usually eat
rather than a weight-
loss special. Talk about
an interest you share.
Does he enjoy watch-
ing movies? Watch one
with him and discuss
it. Maybe you think he
should be out jogging
instead, but thats not
your business.
Forget about try-
ing to make him lose
weight. Try instead to
make yourself a better
companion. Right now,
you are being a pest.
Give him respect and
trust by accepting that
his habits are his own
decision. -- S.
Dear S.: While we
agree that you cannot
force someone else to
lose weight, you are
being awfully hard on
Desperate, who is
truly worried about the
health of a dear friend
and doesnt want him
to die young.

Monday, February 20, 2012 The Herald B3
Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2012
The year ahead is likely to be
quite memorable, with a number of
happy accidents occurring. Numerous
excellent changes can bring about
the fulfillment of your hopes and
expectations.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Its important to begin elevating
your sights a bit if you see that the
cycle youre now entering holds
tremendous promise. Dont waste the
good times on frivolous activities.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
The chances for accomplishing your
objectives look good, though youll
have to bring other people in on
the action. Interesting things could
happen thatll bring fulfillment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Because youll be able to recognize
some of the signals, a situation
unfolding at this time could enable
you to share in some benefits already
being generated by another person.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
An arrangement that you mastermind
should prove advantageous for
everyone involved. It has all the
essential elements needed for success:
fairness, integrity and unity.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- If you get the chance -- and you
probably will -- do what you can to
strengthen bonds involving two of
your more significant relationships.
You could bring about happy changes
for all.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Someone of the opposite gender
whom you recently met is eager to
get to know you better. If you are of
the same mindset, dont hesitate to
respond in kind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If
youve been putting forth your very
best effort where your work or career
is concerned, a promotion, bonus or
some kind of acknowledgement may
be in the offing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
When it comes to an enterprise or
endeavor that you personally manage
or in which you play some kind of
leadership role, your luck could
take a well-deserved change for the
better.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Starting right now, there is a strong
probability that you could experience
a favorable shift in your material
affairs. Be alert for what occurs,
because it can have a long-range
effect.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Do not look to others for
leadership in an endeavor that you
need to accomplish, especially if they
have little knowledge of what you
want or how you want it done.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- New life can be breathed into
an arrangement that youve been
seriously thinking of writing off. If
you check out every possibility, you
might find that now is not the time to
call it quits.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- A relationship that you recently
established might greatly help you
advance some plans for the future
that youve had in the back of your
mind. It pays to listen to everyone.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY22, 2012
A person in a high position at
your place of business might start to
take you into his or her confidence
in the coming months. Some of the
information you receive could be
used in ways that are personally
profitable.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Although it will be easy for you to
get along with most people, you can
still expect cross words to come out
of your mouth if a nasty person ticks
you off. Avoid such types if you can.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- If you expect friends or family to
do things for you that you can easily
do for yourself, youre going to be
severely disappointed. You had better
be ready to go it alone.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Even if youre sure of yourself, it
isnt smart to forcibly impose your
beliefs on others. You might win the
argument but alienate your pals in the
process.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Although you may be able to see
some changes that would clearly
benefit your family, your kinfolk
may not be prepared to make them.
To get their support, theyll need to
see what you see.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Even if another has better ideas, you
may not be easily convinced. Make
sure that youre not putting the kibosh
on something cool just because your
pride is wounded.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your
conclusions regarding how others
should be managing their affairs will
be right on the money, yet when it
comes to your own bailiwick, youll
suddenly go blank.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Avoid inclinations to treat simple
situations in a heavy-handed manner.
If you take yourself or events too
seriously, you are likely to just make
yourself sick.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Attend to tasks that require know-
how and concentration as early in
the day as possible, while youre
fresh and alert. As time ticks on, your
temperament and talents could lose
their cutting edge.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Socializing and being with friends
will be fun, provided the time spent
with them is of short duration.
Unfortunately, your social graces
might not have much staying power.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Because your temper might
have a short fuse right now, you
could bring woe to those who cross
you and make you angry. Sadly, the
probabilities of you misinterpreting
others intentions will be high.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Have the courage of your
convictions, because if you dont, a
know-it-all might try to intimidate
you by discounting your ideas in
front of others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Instead of applying incoming funds
to new endeavors or merchandise that
youve had your eye on, it would be a
whole lot smarter to pay off some of
your old debts first.

4B The Herald Monday, February 20, 2012
By DAVID GERMAIN
LOS ANGELES The
Presidents Day weekend box
office was too close to call as
the action tale Safe House
and the love story The Vow
competed for the No. 1 spot.
Based on Sundays studio
estimates, Denzel Washington
and Ryan Reynolds Safe
House had a slim lead with
$24 million from Friday to
Sunday. That put it a fraction
ahead of Rachel McAdams
and Channing Tatums The
Vow with $23.6 million.
The winner wont be
known for certain until
Tuesday, when studios will
report final numbers for the
long holiday weekend. Final
numbers often vary from
weekend projections, which
include estimates for the size
of Sundays audiences.
No matter which one
finishes on top, the movie
business remains unusually
brisk for winter, typically a
slow season at theaters. The
business uptick comes after
Hollywood lumbered through
a humdrum holiday season
at the end of last year, when
audiences were apathetic
about most new releases.
I still think people dont
want to stay home, and if
you give them good choices,
you get them out, said Nikki
Rocco, head of distribution
for Universal Pictures, which
released Safe House.
The top-five movies were
bunched up tightly, with
Nicolas Cages sequel Ghost
Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
opening a close No. 3 with
$22 million.
Dwayne Johnsons family
action tale Journey 2: The
Mysterious Island was No.
4 with $20.1 million. Reese
Witherspoons love-triangle
comedy This Means War
debuted at No. 5 with $17.6
million.
Starring Washington as a
CIA traitor on the run, Safe
House raised its domestic
total to $78.2 million. Sony
Screen Gems The Vow,
which features McAdams as
an amnesiac car-accident vic-
tim becoming reacquainted
with her husband (Tatum),
lifted its total to $85.5 mil-
lion.
While Safe House and
The Vow held up well,
Sonys Ghost Rider follow-
up came in below industry
expectations, doing a bit less
than half the $45 million the
first one pulled in with its
2007 debut.
In Spirit of Vengeance,
Cage reprises his Marvel
Comics role as Satans boun-
ty hunter, this time trying to
save a child from the devil.
Released by Warner Bros.,
Journey 2 is a modern
take on Jules Vernes The
Mysterious Island. It padded
its total to $53.2 million.
In 20th Century Foxs This
Means War, Witherspoon
plays a woman who captures
the hearts of two CIA agents
(Chris Pine and Tom Hardy),
the spy guys going from best
pals to rivals as they pursue
her.
Safe House, The Vow
beat out new Ghost Rider
