Elida elevates Cox to superintendent
BY CYNTHIA YAHNA
Herald Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
ELIDA Tony Cox has been ele-
vated superintendent at Elida Local
Schools.
The school board welcomed Cox
Tuesday night.
Cox presently holds the position
of high school principal at Elida. His
education is with the University of
Dayton, holding a master of science
in education and allied professions.
Also, he has a bachelor of arts in
communication with the University
of Toledo. He previously taught at
Shawnee Middle School as principal.
Cox has a vision for Elida Schools.
I want to ensure that every stu-
dent participates in a rigorous and
engaging learning experience in order
to prepare them for success in a
globally interconnected society by
being the highest quality educational
system possible. I have lived in Lima
three-quarters of my life and I am
aware of the rich culture that Elida
schools have to offer. I want to thank
the board for having the confidence
in me for this position, he said.
Newly-elected board members Jeff
Christoff, Jason Bowers, Christine
Ulrich and Pat Schymanski (incum-
bent) began their first official duties
during Tuesdays meeting.
Christoff and his wife have been
residents of Elida for 16 years and
currently have three children in the
Elida Local Schools. He earned a
B.S. in pharmacy from Duquesne
University in 1988 and then earned
his Ph.D. in medicinal chemistry and
pharmacognosy from The Ohio State
University in 1993. He has been a uni-
versity professor ever since, spending
the last 16 years at Ohio Northern
Universitys College of Pharmacy.
He continues to practice his pro-
fessional skills as a part-time pharma-
cist in hospital, community or nuclear
pharmacy settings.
I bring a wealth of experience to
the school board from prior service
as a member or chair of various local
or national committees, task forces,
or boards representing the governing
interests of numerous professional,
academic, health care and religious
organizations, Christoff said.
Bowers and his wife, Nikki, have
four daughters currently in the school
system; he was a 1993 graduate of
Elida High School and works for the
American Township Fire Department.
Ulrich is married to Mike Ulrich,
a retired Lima firefighter. They have
one daughter, Ashley, who is a sopho-
more at Elida.
The family moved here from
Southern California 19 years ago
and have lived in the Elida School
District since.
She graduated from The Medical
College of Ohio and is employed at
Van Wert Medical Services as a nurse
practitioner in an internal medicine
practice. For the past nine years, she
has served on the Board of Directors
for the Ohio Association of Advance
Practice Nurses as a Regional
Director for the Northwest Ohio area.
She has been active in legislative
activities and policy-making activi-
ties at the state level and is also a
member of the Lima Fire Department
Ladies Auxiliary.
One of my priorities would be to
enhance the communication between
the school board, administration,
staff and the public. Improvements
to existing methods can be made to
increase transparency, move forward
and focus on what is important: the
students, Ulrich said.
This is national school board
appreciation month and recognizing
the school board was Don Diglia,
school superintendent.

Village council members
unanimously elected Randy
Wieging as president pro
tem and councilman Duane
Hoersten to fill the vacated
council seat during Tuesday
nights meeting.
Members also by-passed
the three-reading rule and
passed by emergency an
ordinance to hire a solicitor
and a resolution to set time
and place of regular council
meetings. Both were passed
unanimously.
Bill Wildenhaus was
retained as the village solici-
tor and regular monthly vil-
lage council meetings were
set to take place at 7:30 p.m.
on the third Tuesday of the
month in the library.
Council member Greg
Brown gave the Police
Committee Report and said
the project with the three
Christmas families went
well and the police cruisers
are all running fine. Chief
Ethyl Vaughn said every-
thing is going great and had
no particular incidents to
report.
Mayor Jim Smith thanked
Chief Vaughn and Brown for
all they did for the Christmas
families.
Smith said he received
notification the grant the vil-
lage had applied for through
the OPWC (Ohio Public
Works Commission) did not
get funded.
The grant was to re-do
Railroad Street from Second
Street to High Street,
Smith said. We can have
Poggemeyer re-evaluate the
project this summer.
Smith also said the work
on the sewer line running
from State Route 634 to
Auglaize River is on hold.
There is nothing we can
do until spring, Smith said.
During the October meet-
ing, Smith discussed a wash-
out area between State Route
634 and the river and an addi-
tional three areas close to
State Route 190 which could
cause potential problems in
the future.

1 dead in Purdue shooting; student in custody
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) A Purdue University
engineering student opened fire inside a basement classroom
Tuesday, killing a teaching assistant and prompting officials
to put the campus on lockdown, police and the university said.
Cody Cousins, who is believed to have targeted Andrew Boldt
inside the Electrical Engineering Building, surrendered to a police offi-
cer within minutes of the attack, Purdue Police Chief John Cox said.
Investigators were trying to determine a motive for the shooting,
which happened around noon on the campus in West Lafayette,
about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis. No one else was injured.
This appears to be an isolated and intentional act, Cox said.
Boldt, a 21-year-old senior and teaching assistant from West
Bend, Wis., died at the scene. Cousins, a 23-year-old senior,
who according to police has addresses listed both in Warsaw,
Ind., and Centerville, Ohio, was being held on a preliminary
charge of murder Tuesday night at the Tippecanoe County Jail.
Students described a chaotic scene on the campus. Sophomore
Nick Wieland told the Journal & Courier that he was in a base-
ment classroom adjacent to the one where the shooting occurred.
I heard a couple (shots) and then I heard a man scream,
Wieland said. Then the last few kind of trailed off as I got
under my desk. . (I was) just very scared. Thats what I felt
the entire time.
Julissa Martinez, a freshman in nursing, told The Associated
Press that she was in a psychology class on another part of the
campus when she received the text alert from university offi-
cials telling students to seek shelter.
She said her professor briefly kept teaching, then stopped
lecturing so students could contact people to let them know
they were safe.
He tried to get everything under control because people
were freaking out, Martinez said, adding that students were
nervous because there was a lot of speculation about the sever-
ity of the situation.
The shooting was reported at 12:03 p.m. and Purdue
officials issued the campuswide text alert shortly afterward.
Cousins was taken into custody outside the engineering build-
ing within minutes of the shooting.
Around 1:15 p.m., the university texted students to tell them
there was no ongoing threat on campus and that normal operations
would resume in all buildings except the engineering facility.
But the university later announced that classes were being
suspended through Wednesday. Special counseling services
were being offered to students at several sites around campus.

Heartbeat bill
backers target states
GOP in mailer
COLUMBUS (AP)
Supporters of a strict abor-
tion bill in Ohio are targeting
Republican state senators in a
mail campaign, claiming they
have failed to keep their word.
The so-called heartbeat bill
would effectively ban abor-
tions after the first detectable
fetal heartbeat as early as
six weeks into pregnancy.
The measure met its demise
in 2012 after the Senates
GOP leader, who has since
retired, blocked it from a vote.
The idea was re-introduced
in the Republican-controlled
House in August, where it has
not had a vote.
The group Faith2Action is
mailing postcards to residents
suggesting the lawmakers are
Republican in name only.
Small businesses may
qualify for tax break
COLUMBUS (AP)
The state tax commissioner is
reminding Ohio small-business
owners that they may be eli-
gible for a recently enacted tax
deduction.
In an alert issued Tuesday,
Commissioner Joe Testa urged
taxpayers to visit the Ohio
Department of Taxation website
to learn whether theyre eligible
and how to file for a 50-percent
write-off on their first $250,000
in business income from 2013.
Testa says a majority of
small businesses and entrepre-
neurships structured as pass-
through entities will be eligible
for the deduction. It was enact-
ed last year as part of a package
of state tax changes included in
Ohios two-year state budget.
The value of the deduction
is capped at $125,000 of adjust-
ed gross income reported on
an Ohio personal income tax
return.
More extreme cold
temperatures on the way
BY LINDSAY MCCOY
DHI Correspondent
VAN WERT - Extreme, cold temperatures have returned to
our area for the next few days with a chance for repeat condi-
tions next week as well.
Two more arctic outbreaks are heading our way, one this
week and one next week, said Van Wert County Emergency
Management Director Rick McCoy. These events are not
expected to be as intense as the one that swept through Ohio and
others areas of the country during the first week of January, but
we will still be seeing temperatures at least 20 degrees below
normal for this time of year.
The recent cold wave that struck the area during the first
week of January produced two days that measured negative 15
degrees, a cold-spell that now ranks in the top 17 coldest days
in Van Wert County history since recording began in 1924. The
coldest days ever recorded in the county were Jan. 17,1982, and
Jan. 20, 1985, when temperatures fell to negative 22 degrees.
This week, temperatures will reach a high in the teens during
the day and will drop to single digits and below zero at night.
The National Weather Service is predicting periodic clippers
coming out of the Northwest that are expected to bring an inch
or two of snow, but no big snow events are yet on the horizon.
Wind chills will again be an issue throughout this week at
zero to 20 degrees below zero, noted McCoy. But, it is still
too early to tell how strong of an arctic plunge we will see next
week.
McCoy reminded readers that households will again need to
let their faucets drip so pipes do not freeze during the cold snap.
The local director also highlighted the importance of taking pre-
cautions against frostbite while outdoors, checking on neighbors
and the elderly, and taking steps to keep animals and pets safe
from the extreme temperatures.
According to an old wives tale, whatever date receives the
first measurable snowfall equals the amount of days during the
winter season that will receive measurable snowfall. During
the 2013-14 winter season, the first snow occurred on Oct. 24,
meaning 24 snows this winter. To date, Van Wert County has
received 17 measurable snowfalls this winter season.

Get equipped
for tness
Active lifestyles sometimes require special
equipment, and recreational gear can enhance the
enjoyment of physical activity. People can spend a
little or a lot of money being active.
Take a look at the sports pages of this newspaper.
Team sports often require fees for uniforms, different
kinds of equipment, even reservation fees for courts
or, in the case of swimming, pool memberships. Just
one of the great things about being part of a school or
league is that some of the costs are divided among all
the team members.
Individual tness activities may also cost money.
But if you sink your teeth into a daily routine, the
cost of a good pair of athletic shoes may be your only
big investment, one which will pay for itself through
better health.
However, the road to physical tness can be almost
cost-free. Think about some of the movements you
make every
day. Do you drive or ride short distances
that you could safely and easily walk?
Do you call or text someone who is just
a room or two away? Physical activity
takes many different forms, and it has
many different benets. You probably
dont need to spend money on extra
gear to get t.

Family snowed in after storm
BY LOVINA EICHER
It is the middle of
January and we are getting
more snow. We have had our
share of winter weather this
month. My husband Joe and
daughter Elizabeth didnt go
back to the factories until
Jan. 9 because of all the
snow we got. They had a
longer holiday
break than they
expected. The
schools doors
also stayed closed
for three more
days after their
Christmas vaca-
tion.
The house
seemed really
quiet on Jan. 9
when everyone
finally left for the day again.
We enjoyed being
snowed in for a few
days. But with temperatures
below zero it was too cold to
go out to enjoy it. We have
completed two puzzles that
are 1,000 piece puzzles over
these winter storms.
It seems every puzzle
goes together faster than
the one before, now that
the children can help put
it together instead of mess
it up as they would do
when they were toddlers.
I remember sometimes a
puzzle would get messed up
two to three times and then
maybe a piece was miss-
ing before it was completed.
Now we can leave it unat-
tended with no little ones in
the house.
Daughter Susan will
have her 18th birthday next
week on Jan. 24. Our second
daughter has reached adult-
hood. Time does not stand
still for anyone.
Susan was born at home
with Joes Aunt
Sylvia being my
midwife. We had
quite a time find-
ing a ride for her
to go home the
eight miles. Snow
drifts were piled
as high as our
trailer home win-
dows. We lived in
a trailer home at
my parents at that
time. How thankful we felt
that Susan was born with-
out any major problems dur-
ing a winter storm like that.
Susan is now a lively, ener-
getic young lady and loves
to spend time with horses
and ponies. Writing stories
is also a hobby for her.
Jan. 9 also brought back
sad memories of a year ago
when brother Amos was in
an accident that took the
lives of two of my first
cousins. I am sure their
lonely wives and families
have had a long year of
missing their loved ones. In
a matter of seconds our lives
could be changed. Only God
knows what lies ahead of
each of us. Let us always let
Him guide us and accept
the changes life brings.
Right now it is snowing
so hard that visibility isnt
good. I hope and pray every-
one will get home safely
from work and school.
I need to get busy.
Seemed like I didnt have
time to sit down to write
a column but once again I
waited until the last day to
get this in the mail.
We have been making
ice cream with our hand-
cranked ice cream freezer. I
will share my recipe.
HOMEMADE ICE CREAM
6 eggs
3 1/2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 box vanilla instant pud-
ding
3 cups milk
3 cans Milnot or cream
Beat eggs and beat in rest
of ingredients. Pour into a 6
quart freezer can and freeze
in an ice cream maker.

tion of anything contain-

The January Blues Concert at the Allen County Museum
has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 29.
Due to the earlier cancellation of the concert because of
weather, visiting artist Justin Johnson was unable to make it to
Lima but the Blues in Schools program is pleased to welcome
Reed Turchi.
Students at the Liberty Arts Elementary School and St.
Gerards have already designed and made their cigar box gui-
tars. Turchi will be teaching the students about the history of
cigar box guitars and how to play their instruments.
Raised in Asheville, North Carolina, Turchi attended the
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where he was
was an American Studies major with a concentration in
Southern Studies. He founded his own record label, Devil
Down Records, to release music from the Southern Folklife
Collection and draw attention to some of the North Mississippi
blues musicians. North Mississippi Blues is a regional offshoot
of the Country Blues style. Turchi is also the director of the
Ardent Music label and member of the band, TURCHI.
This event is free and open to the public.

Kittens press way
over Lady Green
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE The Bath girls basketball program has
built up quite a reputation over the past four decades of full-
court pressure basketball.
Ottoville (7-7) found out first-hand what that was about
Tuesday night as the Division II APs 10th-ranked Wildkittens
(15-1) forced 21 turnovers in amassing a 51-29 girls cage vic-
tory at L.W. Heckman Gymnasium at Ottoville High School.
The game was originally sched-
ule for Jan. 7 but was postponed
due to weather.
That is one heck of a team.
They have a great program, a great
school and a great coach that all
exhibit class, Ottoville mentor
Dave Kleman explained. That is
why we scheduled them years ago;
they are a measuring stick for you.
They force you to grow up quickly.
I have mental notes already and
well look at the film and talk about
what we need to do to get better.
However, Bath mentor Greg
Mauk wasnt too enamored of his
unit the first half
In all honesty, I thought they played harder than we did the
first half, for whatever reason; I dont blame us playing Sunday
(at Pickerington Tournament) for that, Mauk explained. I
credit Coach Kleman for having those girls ready to play. They
didnt come in thinking that they should roll over for us; they
got every loose ball and rebound.
Whether using full- and half-court man pressure or 2-2-1
full-court and 2-3 zone half-court defense even some 1-3-1
half-court the Wildkittens (15-1) made things tough on a
young Lady Green (7-7) squad (starting two freshmen, two
juniors and a senior, with plenty of other youth off the bench)
from the get-go. When they werent forcing turnovers, they
stymied the hosts into 11-of-34 shooting (2-of-12 triples) for
32.5 percent.
Still, despite forcing five turnovers in the first period, the
Kittens werent exactly taking advantage, hitting a mere 3-of-
16 shots in that span (18-of-46 for the night, 8-of-19 down-
town, for 39.1%) as the Lady Green man scheme held its own.
Ottoville scored a free throw at 6:21 by senior Taylor Mangas
(5 markers, 2 assists) for its only lead of the night and Bath
took the lead for good at 6:06 on a 3-ball by Jenna Hollar. The
biggest lead was 7-1 when Alyssa Manley (4 dimes) scored a
basket at 2:54. Mangas drove the middle for a deuce at 2:38 to
close first-period scoring at 7-3.
The guests began to slowly pull away in the second period
as their defense continued to harass the Green and Gold. They
forced four more errors and a 3-of-9 shooting span, all seven
points by junior Annie Lindeman (6 boards 3 assists). Bath
had five girls score at least a point in the period and their big-
gest lead of the half was 21-7 on a deuce by Manley at 1:23.
Lindeman banked in a trey from left of the key at 1:02 to com-
plete the first half at 21-10, Bath.
Bath came out with a new sense of purpose in the third
period and put the pedal to the metal, turning the hosts over
eight more times and reaping more offensive rewards 7-of-
14. Bri Smith (10 counters on 3 triples, 6 boards) scored a pair
of treys to lead the effort and 6-1 Danielle VanDyke (4 boards,
4 blocks) added five counters. When Cassie Best (9 points, 4
thefts) sliced to the basket for a layin at 1:35, Bath led 40-15
before Mangas hit a 10-footer with 4.1 ticks on the board to get
the scoreboard to read 40-17, Bath, at the end of three.

Wildcats struggle in loss to Raiders
BY KEVIN WANNEMACHER
DHI Correspondent
HAVILAND For one quarter,
Delphos Jefferson battled with host
Wayne Trace in non-league girls basket-
ball action as the lady Wildcats trailed
only 13-11 after eight minutes of action.
However, it was all Raiders from
there as the red, white and blue out-
scored Delphos Jefferson 36-17 in the
final three quarters for a 49-28 win.
Wayne Trace used the twin towers of
Sylvia Young (6-3) and Lauren Speice
(5-11) to dominate the boards, finishing
the night with a 50-34 advantage. The
lady Raiders also limited the Wildcats
to 8 of 53 shooting on the night (15
percent), including 4 of 40 (10 percent)
over the final three periods.
We really struggled shooting the
basketball tonight, commented Delphos
Jefferson head coach David Hoffman.
Once we missed some shots, then we
got to a point where we didnt want to
shoot the basketball anymore and we
cant do that.
The Wildcats battled back twice in
the first quarter, tying the game at 8-8
on a Rileigh Stockwell basket and again
at 11-11 after a Hannah Sensibaugh
free throw. However, Wayne
Trace took the lead for good
with a Sylvia Young bucket
late in the stanza to make it
13-11.
Quarter number two
proved to start the down-
fall for Delphos Jefferson.
Wayne Trace opened the
quarter with ten straight
points, highlighted by two
Erin Mohr treys, to grab a
23-11 advantage.
Stockwell hit a pair
of free throws to get the
Wildcats on the scoreboard
at the 2:56 mark but that would be all
of the Delphos Jefferson points in the
period. Madi Poling rounded out the
first half scoring by hitting one of two
charity tosses to put the Raiders on top
24-13 at the intermission.
I thought it was a very solid first
half for us, noted Raider head coach
Bethany Hughes. The girls took care of
the basketball much better tonight and
we were able to play solid defense as
well. It was a good effort for us tonight.
The lady Raiders stretched their lead
in the contest at the start of the third
quarter. Wayne Trace got a basket by
Speice, one of two foul shots from
Shayna Temple and a pair of charity
tosses by Poling to widen the margin to
29-13.
It was a key for us to come out in
the second half and continue to play
hard and smart and the girls did that,
Hughes continued. We put together a
solid 32 minutes tonight and that was
good to see.
Sensibaugh stopped the tide tempo-
rarily with a trey for Delphos Jefferson
but the Raiders werent done. Mohr and
Brenda Feasby added baskets for Wayne
Trace as the Raiders pushed the advan-
tage to 33-16. The red, white and blue
went on to take a 35-22 lead into the
final period.
The first quarter
we were able to take
advantage of some
things against their man
defense, Hoffman noted.
When they switched to
zone, their size came in
to play and we didnt do
a good job of moving the
basketball. Wayne Trace
played a good basketball
game tonight.
The lady Raiders
opened the final period
with nine straight points,
i n c l u d -
ing three
b u c k e t s
by Young,
to widen
the margin
to 44-22.
From there,
W a y n e
T r a c e
cruised to
the 49-28
win.
Mohr led
all scorers
with 17 points
for Wayne Trace, which moves to 9-5 on
the season. Young chipped in 11 markers
and eight rebounds while Speice posted
seven points and 15 rebounds. Temple
and Feasby also grabbed eight and seven
boards, respectively. Feasby dished out
six assists for the Raiders with Mohr
recording five.
Stockwell topped the Wildcats with
13 points and nine caroms while also
recording four steals. Brooke Culp
picked up four steals as well.
The lady Wildcats drop to 6-9 on the
season.
Delphos Jefferson rallied from a
20-17 halftime deficit by outscoring host
Wayne Trace 16-10 in the second half to
post a 33-30 victory over the Raiders in
the junior varsity contest.
The Wildcats move to 7-8 on the
year with the victory while Wayne Trace
drops to 9-4.
Jessica Pimpas led the way for the
visiting Wildcats with 10 points and
Heather Pohlman chipped in nine mark-
ers. Pimpas also picked up six rebounds
to lead Delphos Jefferson while Shelby
Koenig and Mackenzie Hammons
grabbed five boards each. Taylor Stroh
dished out three assists and recorded
three steals.

Cougars down Kalida in offensive struggle
By Charlie Warnimont
DHI Correspondent
KALIDA Van Wert
and Kalida both suffered
through long periods where
shots did not fall during their
non-league matchup Tuesday
evening.
Fortunately for the
Cougars their shooting
drought came early.
With only one field goal
through the first 11:36 of
the game, the
Cougars were
able to overcame
the lack offense
to get back in the
game, then seal it
at the free throw
line late as Van
Wert escaped Kalida with a
41-38 win. The Cougars are
now 6-6 on the season, while
the Wildcats dropped to 10-5.
Van Wert came out as cold
as the night air missing all 1o
of their field goal attempts in
the first quarter as they fell
behind 16-4 after eight min-
utes. The only points for the
Cougars came on free throws
by Drew Myers and Matt
Bidlack. The Wildcats built
their lead behind eight points
from Joe Gerdeman and four
from Luke Langhals.
The Cougars notched
their first field goal 17 sec-
onds into the second quar-
ter as Connor Holliday hit
a driving layup. Three min-
utes would run off the clock
before Van Wert scored again
as they used a 6-0 run to
pull within 16-12.
Holliday and Bidlack
had baskets for the
Cougars, while Kyle
Keber and Myers
each had a free throw.
Gerdeman ended the
run with Kalidas
only points of the quarter on
a foul line jumper. Michael
Smelser ended the first half
scoring with a jumper that
pulled the Cougars within
18-14 at halftime.
Both team struggled offen-
sively in the third quarter as
Van Wert managed to out-
score Kalida 9-5 to even the
score at 23-23 going to the
fourth quarter. The Cougars
scored the first six points of
the quarter for a 20-18 lead
as Kalida continued to strug-
gle shooting. The Wildcats
had a stretch of 12:22 where
they hit just one field goal
before Devin Kortokrax and
Gerdeman scored on back-to-
back possessions to put Kalida
on top at 22-20. A free throw
by Gerdeman with 1:18 left
in the quarter had
Kalida up three
points before Joey
Moreland drained
a three-pointer
from the right side
to even the score
going to the final
eight minutes.
The fourth quarter was
back and forth as there were
seven lead changes and
two ties. Van Wert took a
35-33 lead on a basket by
Myers before Luke Langhals
drained the Wildcats only
three-pointer of the night for
a 36-35 Kalida lead. Two
free throws by Myers with
2:11 left gave Van Wert the
lead for good at 37-36. The
Wildcats had chances to
regain the lead but turned
the ball over on four straight
possessions.
Van Wert cashed in on
two of those missed Wildcat
opportunities as Holiday
and Stoller both hit two free
throws for a 41-36 lead.
Kortokrax pulled Kalida
within three with 16.7 sec-
onds left with two
free throws before
the Wildcats fouled
Smelser with
14.3 seconds left.
Smelser missed the
front end of a one
and one and Kalida
rebounded. The Wildcats
went for the tie, after a
timeout, only to see Adam
Langhals 3-pointer bounce
off the rim and into the hands
of a Van Wert player. Kalida
did not foul and the Cougars
ran out the clock.
Column: Bookies and the NFL both wary of weather
By TIM DAHLBERG
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS Roger Goodell
once had his beer freeze while watch-
ing a game in Chicago, so sitting
outside at the Super Bowl shouldnt
be too much of a burden for the NFL
commissioner.
But what if and this is a very real
possibility the stadium is blanketed
in the kind of blizzard-like condi-
tions that wreaked havoc across the
Northeast on Tuesday? What if the
NFL doesnt get lucky and score a
chilly yet tolerable Super Bowl eve-
ning at the Meadowlands?
Even worse, what if snow, sleet, ice
or any combination in the first outdoor
cold weather Super Bowl determines
who wins the big game?
Could happen, and Goodell and
other NFL officials wont be the only
ones poring over weather forecasts
leading up to Feb. 2. Oddsmakers in
Las Vegas will be keeping a close
eye on it, too, as a possible factor in
whether the Denver Broncos can cover
what is now a 2-point spread against
the Seattle Seahawks.
Probably the most important guy
being interviewed next week will be
(television weatherman) Al Roker,
said Jimmy Vaccaro, who runs the
sports book at the South Point hotel.
Thats not necessarily a bad thing,
especially if the forecast doesnt
include wind and snow or sleet.
Goodell has embraced the idea of
cold, though he had little choice in
the matter after NFL owners decided
to reward the owners of the Jets and
Giants for getting a new stadium by
giving them a Super Bowl.
Hell sit outside for the misery that
could accompany the usual mastery of
a Super Bowl. If all goes according to
plan, he will hand out the Lombardi
trophy to the best team in the land, and
everyone will go home happy.
But some who are in the busi-
ness of making the point spread for
the game believe that if something
like Tuesdays storm hits the day of
the game it could tilt the
game in favor a team that
relies more on power
football and defense
rather than finesse. And
in this Super Bowl, that
would be the Seahawks.
With the game being
in New York and the
early forecast for below
normal temperatures in
the teens that certainly
favors a defensive team
and a running team,
said Jay Kornegay, sports
book director at the LVH.
That would certainly be
an advantage to the Seahawks.
Partly because of that, Kornegay
and his oddsmakers made the
Seahawks a 2-point favorite when
betting opened Sunday for the game.
But bettors enamored with the idea
of Peyton Manning winning a second
Super Bowl quickly caused the odds to
shift to Denvers favor with a flood of
money on the Broncos.
The knock on Manning, though,
is that for all his greatness hes not
a good cold-weather quarterback. He
played much of his career inside in
Indianapolis and is 4-7 in games that
are below freezing at kickoffs, though
some of those were games where he
played sparingly because the Colts had
already locked up playoff seeding.
Others were against New England,
when the Patriots clearly had the bet-
ter team. And Manning did complete
39 passes for 397 yards and four
touchdowns against Tennessee last
month when the temperature at kickoff
in Denver was 18 degrees.
I wont try to answer it because I
didnt give it any valida-
tion in the first place,
he said afterward about
his supposed cold-weather
struggles.
Both football fans and
oddsmakers found out
how unpredictable a big
storm can make the game
last month when winter
weather made conditions
miserable in several cit-
ies. It took players in
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
and Baltimore the first
half to get used to the con-
ditions, then they responded
with an unlikely series of wild plays
and drama in lighting up the score-
board in the second half.
That has oddsmakers scratching
their heads about what to do about this
years game. They often figure things
out in advance with lines that come
remarkably close to the final result,
but a Super Bowl in the snow would
be something new to everyone.
If its big snow you can take all the
handicapping and anything we thought
we knew and throw it out the win-
dow, said Johnny Avello, the book
director at the Wynn hotel.

meeting again with Browns
By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND Mike
Pettine is getting a second
look from the Browns, who
could be zeroing in on their
next coach.
Buffalos defensive coor-
dinator was having a second
interview with Cleveland
owner Jimmy Haslam and
CEO Joe Banner on Tuesday
night, a person familiar with
the Browns plans told The
Associated Press. The meet-
ing is taking place in Mobile,
Ala., site of the Senior Bowl,
said the per-
son who spoke
on condition
of anonym-
ity because the
team is not com-
menting during
its search.
P e t t i n e
impressed the Browns during
Thursdays first interview and
if his second meeting goes
well, the team may be able to
end a search that has dragged
into its fourth week.
The fact that Haslam and
Banner traveled to meet with
Pettine indicates the team has
strong interest in making him
their seventh full-time coach
since 1999.
Pettine just completed
his first year with the Bills,
and the team improved on
defense. Though the Bills still
struggled against the run, they
finished second in the NFL
with a franchise-record 57
sacks.
The 47-year-old Pettine
spent four seasons as a defen-
sive coordinator under Rex
Ryan with the New York
Jets before joining the Bills.
Pettine also has worked as an
assistant in Baltimore.
Bills Hall of Fame running
back Thurman Thomas hopes
Pettine stays put.
Hey #Browns leave our
DC alone, Thomas posted on
his Twitter account.
Earlier, Adam Gase,
Denvers highly regarded
offensive coordinator, called
Haslam and informed him he
was withdrawing his name
and would not interview after
the Super Bowl.
The 35-year-old Gase,
who will lead the Broncos
high-powered offense against
Seattle, was the first candidate
contacted by the
Browns after they
fired Chudzinski
following a 4-12
season. Gase
declined an ini-
tial interview
request because
he wanted to con-
centrate on the playoffs, and
the Browns would have had
to wait until after Feb. 2 to
speak with him.
Haslam said last week the
team is prepared to wait as
long as necessary to hire
a coach, and the Browns
quickly moved ahead without
Gase, who enjoys his role
with the Broncos and may not
be ready for a head coaching
gig.
The Browns are the only
team without a head coach
and have interviewed at least
eight known candidates
the list is still growing to
become their fourth coach in
the past six years.
Besides Pettine, the team
has set up a second interview
with Seattle defensive coordi-
nator Dan Quinn.

Slights become motivation
for Seattles receivers
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. Somewhere along
the way, pedestrian became a favored
word for the Seattle Seahawks receivers.
Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and
Golden Tate each used the word in some
fashion after the Seahawks beat San
Francisco to win the NFC championship
Sunday. It was their way of responding to
critics who have panned Seattles receiv-
ing corps as one of the weak points in the
Seahawks roster.
It irritates the hell out of me when
weve got guys who constantly want to talk
about our receiving corps, Baldwin said
after the 23-17 win over the 49ers. Talking
about were average. Were pedestrian.
Were going to walk our to the Super
Bowl. Pedestrians.
Seattles receiving crew was supposed
to have more experience and be considered
a strength before the season began. Thats
when the Seahawks were expected to have
Percy Harvin and Sidney Rice as their start-
ers, with Baldwin, Tate and Kearse filling
secondary roles as extra receivers catch-
ing passes from Russell Wilson. But then
Harvin missed 15 out of 16 regular-season
games following hip surgery in August and
Rice was lost for the year after Week 8 with
a knee injury.
Its left an unheralded, underappreciated
group as Seattles pass catching options.
And while they despise being cast as a
weak link, they also are more than happy to
use those slights as motivation.
Perhaps no player feeds off the negativ-
ity more than Baldwin. Before the NFC
title game, the undrafted free agent out of
Stanford talked about carrying a boulder
around on his shoulder, not a chip. Then he
made sure to note that pundits on Sunday
morning were again pointing to Seattles
receivers as the reason Wilson and the pass
game had been struggling.
They were talking about Russell
Wilson was struggling and the reason he
was struggling was his receiving corps was
appetizers, Baldwin added. Ill take that.
Ill be an appetizer. But thats a good
appetizer if you ask me.
Baldwin responded with one of the best
games in his career on Sunday. He fin-
ished with six catches for 106 yards the
second-most in his three seasons includ-
ing a 51-yard reception in the first half that
helped loosen the 49ers defense.
But he wasnt alone.
Tate had four receptions and Kearse
made one of the biggest catches in his
young career. On fourth-and-7 early in
the fourth quarter, Wilsons hard count got
the 49ers to jump into the neutral zone.
Knowing it was a free play, Seattles receiv-
ers broke off the original routes and headed
vertical to the end zone. Kearse was able to
get a step on Carlos Rogers and pulled in a
35-yard TD pass from Wilson with 13:44
left that gave Seattle a 20-17 lead that the
Seahawks did not relinquish.
When you run a route you got to
always expect that the ball could come to
you. But when the ball is in the air its all
instinct, its all play-making ability, Kearse
said. Russ threw a good ball at me, it just
shows the trust he has in us and you know
well just try to make the best of every
opportunity.
Then later, prodded by Baldwin, Kearse
followed the line in the wide receivers
room.
Im just a pedestrian trying to walk my
way to the Super Bowl, he added.
What makes Seattles group of receiv-
ers unique is the lack of credentials. Take
Harvin out of the equation, and of Seattles
top five receivers, four were undrafted:
Baldwin, Kearse, Ricardo Lockette and
Bryan Walters. Tate was the only draftee,
taken in the second round in 2010. Its
another example of general manager John
Schneiders ability to unearth hidden talents
but the group also comes with a built-in
motivation to prove wrong anyone who
overlooked or undervalued their potential.
They also play in an offense where
numbers will never be extraordinary. Only
four times in 18 regular and postseason
games this season did Seattle attempt 30
or more passes. Three times they didnt
even attempt 20 throws. That leaves limited
opportunities when the offense calls for the
tight end and running backs to be involved
in the pass game as well.
And all that is without Harvin, who is
expected to have recovered from a concus-
sion in time for the Super Bowl.
At the end of the day, we want to
be a team that makes
the big play when
we need to, Wilson
said. Always make
the consistent ones
but make the big play
when we need to, and the guys have done
that all year.
Harvin could be back to practice later
this week for the Seahawks and is expected
to be available for the Super Bowl.
Harvin missed Sundays NFC champi-
onship game win over San Francisco after
suffering a concussion a week earlier in the
divisional playoff win over New Orleans.
Harvin was not cleared by doctors in time
to play against the 49ers.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll told report-
ers that Harvin could be cleared in time to
practice as early as Wednesday, based on
how Harvin was feeling over the weekend,
but there were still a couple of clearances
needed before he could practice.
Harvin had three receptions against New
Orleans before getting hurt late in the first
half. It was the second game of the season
for Harvin, who had hip surgery in August.
Sherman writes hes not villainous:
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman
wrote in a column for SI.com that hes not
a villainous person.
Sherman has been a regular writer for
mmqb.si.com for most of the season. He
wrote that his postgame interview Sunday
with Fox reporter Erin Andrews stemmed
from adrenaline and his dislike for San
Francisco wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
Sherman screamed during the interview
that Crabtree is a subpar receiver.
Sherman wrote, It was loud, it was in
the moment and it was just a small part of
the person I am.
After the game, Sherman didnt back
down, calling Crabtree mediocre.
Sherman wrote that his personal problem
with Crabtree stems from an incident dur-
ing the offseason in Arizona but he didnt
elaborate.
Carroll pulled Sherman aside on
Monday and made sure his fiery cor-
nerback understood that his rant against
Crabtree was overshadowing the Seahawks
reaching their second Super Bowl in fran-
chise history.
Sherman seemed to get Carrolls mes-
sage.
He was really clear that the last thing
he wanted to do was take something away
from our team, what we had accomplished,
Carroll said.
Sherman became the focal point of
attention both positive and nega-
tive after Seattle beat San Francisco
23-17 on Sunday to win the NFC cham-
pionship.
Sherman was already going to be
in the spotlight for what he did on San
Franciscos final offensive play, twisting
his body to deflect a pass intended for
Crabtree into the air and allowing time
for teammate Malcolm Smith to run
over and make an interception in the end
zone to clinch the Seahawks victory.
The athleticism on the play was worthy
of praise. But Shermans antics from that
point drew praise from some for being hon-
est and unfiltered and criticism from others
for being too harsh and combative.
This is a very emotional kid and thats
what drives him, Carroll said. We did sit
down and talk about it because I want him
to present himself in his best light. Hes an
incredible kid.
He has a great sense about things and
understanding and sensitivity and aware-
ness and he cares and hes a very thoughtful
person so when he puts out those kind of
thoughts he has to know what hes saying
and understand it and I think hes very
understanding at this point that he caused a
stir that took away from the team.
Sherman had been rarely targeted by
the 49ers, with most of Colin Kaepernicks
passes being thrown in the direction of
Byron Maxwell.
But in the final minute,
Kaepernick decided to take a shot
to the end zone with Crabtree and
Sherman matched up one-on-one.
Sherman won the matchup,
staying in position to deflect the
pass and have it fall into Smiths hands,
similar to a tipped interception from
Sherman to safety Earl Thomas in Week 15
against the New York Giants.
Except this was far more meaningful,
giving Seattle its second conference cham-
pionship.
But Sherman didnt let the celebration
end with Smith and his teammates.
Sherman ran over to Crabtree and gave
him a pat on the backside, then appeared to
extend his arm for a handshake.
Instead, Sherman got shoved in the
face before picking up his personal foul
as his celebration continued. The taunt
included a choking gesture in the direction
of Kaepernick.
Asked about the incident afterward by
Fox reporter Erin Andrews, Sherman lit up
Twitter with a rant that began: Im the best
corner in the game. When you try me with
a sorry receiver like Crabtree, thats the
result you gonna get. Dont you ever talk
about me!
And Sherman didnt back down
later, apologizing to Andrews but calling
Crabtree mediocre.
Carroll added he viewed the situation
as a father talking to his son and wanted
Sherman to realize some more thought
should have gone into what he was saying.
For Carroll, the return to New York is
heading back to where he got his start as a
head coach in the NFL, albeit a short-lived
tenure as the head coach of the Jets. Carroll
was the Jets head coach for one season
in 1994 before getting fired after a 6-10
season.
League talking to 49ers about sideline
hit
SANTA CLARA, Calif. San
Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said Tuesday
theres been communication between the
NFL and the team after Seattles Jeremy
Lane ran into an unidentified person on the
49ers sideline during the NFC champion-
ship game.
Harbaugh said that general manager
Trent Baalke had spoken to the league.
Yeah. There has been some contact
there. Trents talked to them about that,
Harbaugh said. I do, though, have a per-
spective of that because I did see it. I was
standing closer to the sideline than the per-
son that got run into.
Carroll said Monday that the Seahawks
had reached out to the league to find out
more about what happened and that he was
disappointed there was not a penalty called
on the play.
Lane was running downfield on punt
coverage on the first play of the second
quarter of Seattles 23-17 win Sunday. Lane
was blocked into the 49ers bench then ran
into a person on the sideline not in uniform.
Lane popped up and returned to the field.
Harbaugh said Tuesday that our guy
was in a spot back where he was supposed
to be. I saw it with my own two eyes.
You dont know which way to go other
than you kind of hold your ground and pro-
tect yourself, Harbaugh added. That was
his reaction and mine as well. I would be
willing to be called and say the same thing
on the record.
Goodell suggests
ditching the PAT kick
Associated Press
Roger Goodell doesnt want
to stand pat with the PAT. Hes
suggesting potential changes in
the extra point that, well, might
have some legs.
The NFL commissioner
says the extra point kick after
touchdowns, which had a suc-
cess rate of nearly 100 percent,
is too automatic. Sure is.
And with few teams
attempting 2-point conversion
plays until desperation hits
late in games, the old 1-point-
er from 20 yards is the way
coaches go. All that does is
draw yawns.
So Goodell wonders if the
league can add excitement by
making some major adjust-
ments to the extra point, sug-
gesting perhaps making a
touchdown worth seven points
instead of six, with teams hav-
ing the option to run a play for
another point.
But failing on that play
would cost them a point.
Gimmicky, for sure. But if
Goodell likes the idea
A look at how changes to
the extra point would affect
football:
HOW AND WHO?
Passing any changes to the
playing rules in the NFL is,
unlike the extra point kick, no
snap.
The competition committee
meets with the players union at
the NFL combine in February,
where any new proposals or
ideas are discussed. Its not
unusual for the players to have
input in potential adjustments,
as they did recently on defense-
less player penalties.
The powerful committee,
chaired by Atlanta Falcons
President Rich McKay, meets
for about a week in early March
and comes up with any propos-
als, whether from the teams or
union or, yes, the big boss.
At the league meetings later
in March, the committee presents
potential changes for discussion
by all 32 owners, who can either
vote on them or table them.
McKay said Tuesday: We
do anticipate the topic being
discussed.
KICKING AROUND?
The idea of toying with the
extra point is not entirely new.
John Mara, owner of the New
York Giants and among the
most influential members of
the competition committee,
says it came up for brief dis-
cussion in past meetings but no
action was taken.
It took the NFL years to
come around on the 2-point
conversion, which can be a pass
or run play from the 2-yard line
and under Goodells appar-
ent preference, could be worth
one point if the kick is elimi-
nated. The 2-pointer existed
in the old AFL from 1960-69
and college football has had it
since 1958.
But it was defeated several
times in NFL owners votes
before it passed in 1994 as part
of a package of changes to help
the offenses.
YEA AND NAY
Coaches will hate any
changes, particularly ones that
would mean more decisions for
them to make. They so rarely
go for the 2-pointers until the
fourth quarter and are reluc-
tant to do so then because,
well, theres nothing automatic
about those attempts. Indeed,
less than half (33 of 69) worked
in 2013.
I will say this: Since 2000,
I believe, over 99 percent of the
extra points are made, Falcons
coach Mike Smith said. Its
almost a given that it is going
to be made. Im sure that the
competition committee will
address it. As a coach you have
to play how the rules are.
Short-yardage backs such as
All-Pro fullback Mike Tolbert
of Carolina shouldnt mind the
elimination of PAT kicks. Nor
should running quarterbacks
such as Russell Wilson, Colin
Kaepernick and Cam Newton,
whose improvisational skills
would be a huge advantage.
Kickers? They probably
will shrug and practice their
field goals which is what
they normally do regarding
extra points anyway.
WHO STAYS, AND WHY
Rosters would get slight
revamping, with teams likely
keeping at least one power
back active every week and
having two on the roster. Often,
those guys also play on spe-
cial teams, so their presence
wouldnt throw a lineup out of
whack.
PRACTICE WONT
MAKE PERFECT
Teams would work even
more on their short-yardage
packages, beginning in training
camp. They would use their
PAT offenses in other situations
on the field in games, too.
While going for a fourth-
and-2 near midfield is less
rare than it once was, it might
become all the more common
when coaches know the more
times they attempt such plays,
the more seasoned their play-
ers will be when trying for the
extra points.
WILL IT HAPPEN?
Its impossible to gauge the
owners thinking and a three-
quarters majority is needed to
pass any rules changes.
I know a lot of times when
were at owner meetings, those
things are brought up, and its
great when youre in those
meetings because you hear all
the different opinions that are
brought up with that, Jaguars
coach Gus Bradley said. Im
sure there will be discussions
about that. Im excited about
hearing all those.
Goodell doesnt get a vote.
Then again, it sounds like
he already has cast his.
Goodell ready to tackle
elements at Super Bowl: Hell
be wearing a coat and no doubt
gloves.

(Continued from page 6)
With the only thing to be decid-
ed in the fourth period being the
final score, the Lady Green out-
scored their foe 12-1, with junior
Courtney Von Sossan (6 points)
scoring five and freshman Brooke
Mangas (6 points) adding four.
The good thing for us the
first half was we played hard and
won a lot of the loose ball plays,
Kleman added. They came out
from halftime and played a lot
harder. For us, we have the physi-
cal ability but with so many young
and inexperienced players, its
more a mental thing now. Theres
no magic wand to wave and poof
you have experience. Well get
there; we keep improving and this
game will hasten that develop-
ment.
Overall, Bath finished with
7-of-14 shooting at the line (50%);
with 23 boards (seven offensive);
seven turnovers; and 13 fouls.
Madison Dackin led all scorers
with 14.
The only adjustment we really
made at the half and I let them
know about it at halftime was we
had to play smarter, Mauk added.
We were fouling too much in our
press the first half and disrupting our
rhythm. Our press needs to be con-
stant and in the flow to really work.
Ottoville amassed 5-of-9
free-throw shooting (55.6%); 32
rebounds, 10 offensive, as junior
Lexie Wannemacher had four; and
13 fouls.
In junior varsity action,
Ottoville scored the only points in
overtime to seize a 37-35 victory.
Freshman Alexis Thorbahn led

From travails to triumph,
Trevathan leads Broncos
By ARNIE STAPLETON
Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. As prom-
ised, Danny Trevathan has snuffed the
showboat in him after his humiliating
gaffe in the NFL opener.
He morphed into a standout line-
backer in his second season and led
the Broncos in tackles after his inaus-
picious debut in Denvers rout of the
Ravens in September.
Trevathan blamed excitement over
his first career start for his premature
celebration of a sure pick-6 of Joe
Flacco when he flipped the football
aside just before crossing the goal line.
That decision left teammate Wesley
Woodyard with an ankle injury and
made Brandon Stokley the new
Don Beebe. On the other hand, if
Trevathan doesnt pull a Leon
Lett, maybe Peyton Manning
takes the rest of the night off
and doesnt get a chance to
make history with his seventh
touchdown throw later on in
Denvers 49-27 win.
Trevathans miscalculation
was reminiscent of Letts gaffe
in the Super Bowl in 1993
when Dallas defensive line-
man was returning a fumble
for a score in the Cowboys
52-17 win over Buffalo. Beebe
chased down a hotdogging Lett and
knocked the ball loose just before he
crossed the goal line.
This time, as Woodyard casually
bent down in the end zone to pick up
the souvenir for Trevathan, who was
celebrating a few feet away, an alert
Stokley dived for the football and
knocked it out of the back of the end
zone.
Instead of a touchdown, it was a
touchback.
Instead of hugs and high-fives,
Trevathan got harangues from team-
mates and defensive coordinator Jack
Del Rio, a former linebacker.
I promised myself I would never
put my team in a place like that again,
Trevathan said this week. Ill make
up for it. Ill do whatever Ive got to
do. I promised those who were laugh-
ing at me, Im going to make them suf-
fer. Im going to be here and grind it
out, Im going to pick it off next time,
do whatever Ive got to do to go ahead
and get that off my back.
Redemption came one month later
in Dallas when Trevathan deked Tony
Romo into throwing an interception at
the Dallas 24 in the waning moments
of a shootout, and it came just four
days after he was carted off the prac-
tice field with a knee injury that at
first had him fearing his playing days
were over.
Trevathan briefly thought about
jumping up and trying to score.
Remembering the Ravens game, he
decided to just stay down, allowing
Manning to come on and run out the
clock until Matt Praters field goal
won it 51-48 as time expired.
That was one of many big plays for
Trevathan, a sixth-round pick from
Kentucky in 2012 who led Denver
this season with 124 tackles and has a
dozen more in the playoffs, where hes
helped hold the Chargers to 65 yards
rushing the Patriots to 64.
Hell be a big part of Denvers
designs to throttle Seahawks running
back Marshawn Lynch in the Super
Bowl.
And it all goes back to his big blun-
der in the opener.
Sometimes setbacks are setups for
bigger things to come, coach John
Fox said. I think in his case, it was a
learning experience.
Trevathan worked his way into the
starting lineup this summer when the
Broncos moved Wesley Woodyard to
middle linebacker and inserted Nate
Irving on the strongside with star Von
Miller having to sit out the first six
games on a drug suspension.
Dannys got things that you
cant coach. Hes got speed. Hes got
instincts, linebackers coach Richard
Smith said. So, this gave us the
opportunity to get more speed on the
field.
A shoulder stinger would eventually
render Woodyard, a fellow Kentucky
alum, a backup.
Even though
hes not on the
field, hes with me
in my head all the
time, Trevathan
said. Thats how
Im going to carry
him.
Theres that
maturity again,
that growth that the
Broncos believe
will come in handy
in the Super Bowl, where Trevathan
can get the ultimate redemption.
Life is a game. Its ups and downs,
highs and lows. But, you know, I like
my lows and I like my highs because
without my lows, I never know what
my highs are, Trevathan added. It
was a rough, roller-coaster year but
we pulled it together. Ive got a strong
faith in God and Ive got a strong faith
within my team. Were here now and
weve just got to get this one more
win.
Champ Bailey finally reaches first
Super Bowl: Champ Bailey finally
gets a chance to live up to his name.
The 12-time Pro Bowler is headed
to his first Super Bowl in his 15th
and most trying NFL season, one in
which he missed 11 games and parts
of two others because of a nagging
foot injury.
It hurt not being out there, Bailey
said after Denver topped New England
in the AFC championship game, but
here I am. Im on the field and my
teams still in the running. Thats what
its all about.
Baileys subdued celebration
and measured reaction in delirious
Denver stood in stark contrast to the
scene in Seattle later Sunday night,
where Seahawks cornerback Richard
Sherman stole the spotlight with his
game-saving deflection, his taunting
of Michael Crabtree and his television
rant on the field afterward.
The two contrasting styles will
draw much attention in the days lead-
ing up to the Super Bowl on Feb. 2.
Sherman is the 25-year-old trash-
talking leader of the leagues best
defense, Bailey the 35-year-old sage
of a unit thats been through the ringer
this season but has come on strong
over the past month despite injuries
that cost them several starters, includ-
ing Von Miller and Chris Harris Jr.
Bailey is one of the leagues top
cornerbacks but hes clearly on the
downslope of his spectacular career
that includes the most Pro Bowls by a
defensive back in NFL history.
Bailey was greeted in the locker
room by former teammate John Lynch,
who was with him the previous time
hed come this close to the Super Bowl
2,919 days earlier.
One week after sealing a play-
off win with a 100-yard interception
return to hand Tom Brady his first
playoff loss back in 2006, Bailey had
another interception in his grasp and
the end zone in his sights but Hines
Ward somehow came down with the
football instead and Pittsburgh went
on to beat Denver 34-17 for the AFC
title following the 2005 season.
I said hed play really big and I
think quietly he really did, Lynch
said. Its been a tough year. Everyone
thinks hes old, over the hill, but hes
been a great player throughout his
whole career and great players, when
it matters most, play great.
Bailey had no spectacular plays
this time, no pick-6s or takeaways or
forced fumbles or sacks, just his usual
steady play and calming leadership.
He was hardly tested by Brady at all
and finished with three tackles.
Peyton Manning, who knows a little
bit about overcoming injuries and long
odds to reach the Super Bowl, said he
was certainly happy for Champ, I
know a lot of people are.
Theres a guy lets see, Champs
one year younger than me so hes in
his 15th season like I said, its hard
to get to the Super Bowl. Its hard to
win it, but Im telling you its hard to
get there, Manning said. Im glad
that hes back out there on the field.
Hes battled through some injuries and
has stayed at it and been committed to
his rehab.
Bailey started just three games this
season and finished just one of those,
against Jacksonville on Oct. 13. After
aggravating his foot injury in his two
other starts, he was relegated to slot
duty by the time he finally got healthy
in mid-December.
That changed when Harris got hurt
in the Broncos playoff win over San
Diego and Bailey started Sunday oppo-
site Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie,
then moved into the slot on pass-
ing downs to thwart the heart of the
Patriots offense.
I knew Id be back at some point,
Bailey said. My coaches, teammates,
they never gave up on me. They knew
Id be back to 100 percent at some point.
Here I am, Im playing probably my best
football of the year because I havent
played much. Im just looking forward
to the next one, making sure my body is
right for the next game.
And dont count on him getting caught
up in the comparisons at the Super Bowl
between him and Sherman, who repre-
sents this new breed of cornerback, the
bigger, athletic DBs who trash talk as
well as any of the receivers they cover.
About the only trash-talking that came
out of Baileys mouth Sunday was when
he was asked about how the Broncos shut
down the Patriots ground game.
The Broncos held LeGarrette Blount
to 6 yards on five carries a week after
scoring four TDs against Indianapolis.
Well, Bailey added matter-of-fact-
ly, they didnt play the Broncos last
week.
Notes: Fox said RB Knowshon
Moreno is day to day after X-rays on
his ribs were negative and CB Tony
Carter has a pinched nerve but no
concussion. The Broncos return to
work Thursday.

Associated Press girls
state basketball poll
The 43-year-old Quinn, who
presided over the NFLs top-rated
defense this season, met with the
Browns on Jan. 1. Per NFL rules,
the Browns can conduct a second
interview with Quinn by Sunday,
but are not permitted to offer him a
job until after the Seahawks season
is over.
Gase drew the Browns atten-
tion and soared up their wish list
of candidates after helping quarter-
back Peyton Manning shatter sever-
al league records this season. Also,
Haslam received a glowing recom-
mendation on Gase from Manning,
who has a long-standing relation-
ship with the Haslam family because
of their Tennessee ties.
Gase, too, fit the outline
young, offensive-minded of the
type of coach Banner wanted to
bring to the Browns, who have lost
at least 11 games in each of the past
six seasons.
Gase is the second high-profile
coach to remove his name from con-
sideration. New England offensive
coordinator Josh McDaniels also
told the Browns he was not inter-
ested in pursuing their opening.
The Browns also have inter-
viewed former Tennessee coach
Mike Munchak and Dallas special
teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia and
both could be brought back for sec-
ond meetings.
The team also plans to meet with
Atlanta offensive coordinator Dirk
Koetter.
San Francisco coach Jim
Harbaugh said he has been contact-
ed by the Browns about members
of his staff. Cleveland may want to
interview defensive line coach Jim
Tomsula or offensive coordinator
Greg Roman.
Harbaugh would not confirm
which coaches Cleveland asked
about and was reluctant to offer
much information.
To go into any further detail, I
dont think helps our situation, their
situation, he added. Their search
is their search.
Browns
This was our fifth game
in nine days and I was wor-
ried about our legs. I was to
start the game and they came
out on fire, Van Wert coach
Mark Bagley said. Give
them credit they made plays,
but our kids never backed
down. Weve been com-
petitive in every game but
one, Lima Central Catholic.
We had a heartbreaker last
Friday (Elida) and our kids
learned from that. Our kids
just battled. Our strengths
are quickness, driving to the
basket and outside shooting.
Our outside shooting was not
there tonight, but we started
getting penetration and we
started to make plays.
Holliday led the Cougars
with 15 points, seven of
them in the fourth quarter.
Myers added seven points
and Bidlack six.
Gerdeman had 17 points
to lead Kalida and Kortokrax
battled his way to 10 points,
seven below his average.
Van Wert found a way to
win tonight and we found a
way to lose, Kalida coach
Dick Kortokrax said. To
me, we just wasted a good
first quarter, because we
came out ready to play and
we really dominated, then
they put a lid on our basket.
We had a very difficult time
scoring the last three quar-
ters, whether it was the foul
line or any where. They sim-
ply manned us and played
much more aggressive than
we did. They came out that
third quarter and just tied us
up. This is a learning experi-
ence and well see if we can
learn any thing from this loss
and get ready for Leipsic
Saturday night.
Kalida managed a split
on the night as their junior
varsity posted a 51-36 win.

The so-called sharps
those who wager the big-
gest money in this gam-
bling city usually wait
until closer to the game
to make their bets, and
they may wait even longer
for this game. The 10-day
forecast coming out this
week will shed some light
on the possibility of a
storm, but most will prob-
ably wait until the weather
picture becomes clearer to
put their money down.
There will probably be
more money on Seattle if
the forecast is for colder
than normal with rain or
sleet, Vaccaro said. But
the biggest thing that will
make the wise guys get
off their wallets now is if
Denver goes to 3 (point
favorite). If its 85 degrees
out they will still take plus
3 with Seattle.
It wont be 85, might
not even be 35. But the
bookies and the NFL have
at least one thing in com-
mon for a Super Bowl that
could be remembered for
all the wrong reasons.
Neither of them can do
anything about the weather.

Chambers Ray Miller and Crystal
Image awards finalists announced
VAN WERT The Van Wert Area
Chamber of Commerce is pleased to
announce the 2014 Ray Miller and Crystal
Image finalists. These two award recipi-
ents along with Milestone and Golden
Shovel recognition awards will be present-
ed at the 92nd Annual Dinner and Awards
Ceremony on Jan. 30 at Willow Bend
Country Club, featuring keynote speaker,
BWC Administrator Steve Buehrer.
The Ray Miller Award finalists include
Eric McCracken of Lee Kinstle GM Sales
and Service, Eric Hurless of Stahl Stoller
Myer Insurance Center and Gary Taylor of
Taylor Auto Sales. These three outstanding
individuals were nominated for their strong
commitment to the community through
volunteer work, participation in community
organizations and outstanding service to
the Van Wert community. Last years Ray
Miller award was presented to attorney
Chuck Koch for his long history and com-
mitment to community development.
The Crystal Image Award finalists
include Main Street Van Wert and Statewide
Ford Lincoln. Both nominees, though quite
different in their structure and mission were
nominated for their demonstrated leader-
ship within the Van Wert community by its
many faceted contributions, including busi-
ness responsibility, productivity strength,
employee empowerment and service to the
community. Eaton Corporation received
the 2013 Crystal Image Award for its out-
standing economic impact and community
service.
The Van Wert business community
has made tremendous strides in hiring and
investments in their businesses over the
last year, Chamber President/CEO Susan
Munroe said. Room to still grow and
expand absolutely. But this event pro-
vides an opportunity to set aside an eve-
ning to celebrate our accomplishments and
honor those individuals and businesses that
invest their time and resources into helping
our community build economic success.
The Chamber would like to thank the
following companies for their generous
support of this important annual event that
recognizes the many area businesses and
individuals for their accomplishments and
contributions to the greater Van Wert area:
Premier Sponsors: Alexander & Bebout,
Inc., and Central Insurance Companies
Awards Sponsors: Van Wert County
Hospital, Vantage Career Center, Van Wert
Manor, Culligan Koorsen Fire and Security
and U.S. Bank.
There are limited seats still available for
the Chamber Annual Dinner and Awards
Ceremony at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 30 at Willow
Bend Country
Club. Please contact the chamber by this
Friday at 419-238-4390 or chamber@van-
wertchamber.com. You may also register

available for non-profits
VAN WERT The Van
Wert Area Convention and
Visitors Bureau has con-
tracted the The Cheap Sign

organizations.
The billboards are

tion of the signs and The
Cheap Sign Company will

non-profit group to guar-
antee the sign meets their
expectations.
The cost of each sign
is $45 for the first month,
which covers the cost of
producing the sign, while
the CVB will over the
monthly rent. If the sign
remains in place for more
than one month, the non-
profit organization will be
billed for $45 per sign
rental fee.
Billboards will be rent-
ed on a first-come first-
serve basis. If interested,

PC-ER opportunity
for veterans
BY CHRIS POHL
Many of the nations employ-
ers are actively
recruiting return-
ing veterans. They
know veterans
bring a higher level
of problem-solving
skills, dependabil-
ity and stability to
a job and are thus
worth the extra
recruiting effort. A
new franchise ini-
tiative starting in
Ohio this spring,
called PC-ER
(Personal Computer
and Equipment Repair), is
expanding these options to
include a self-employed oppor-
tunity.
PC-ER has been selected
by Walmart to put an initial 20
PC-ER franchises inside of Ohio
Walmart locations to serve the
maintenance and repair of PCs,
tablets, smart phones and other
devices. PC-ER is like similar,
corporate-owned, services youd
find at Best Buy and Staples.
Unlike those others, however,
PC-ER stores will be primar-
ily veteran owned and operated
franchises. And they will exist in
the highest-traffic locations pos-
sible the local Walmart.
My friend, Maggie
Wannemacher,
is the founder of
PC-ER, LLC and
has opened sev-
eral pilot stores in
Walmart stores in
Ohio over the past
seven years. She
has owned and
operated a separate,
yet similar service
for individuals
and small busi-
nesses for 19 years.
Maggie knows
what it takes to suc-
ceed, and she has built the infra-
structure, including policies, pro-
cedures and marketing programs
necessary for success.
Walmart has offered Maggie
an initial 20 Ohio stores to open
these veteran-operated fran-
chises between Feb. 1 and April
30. If the initial 20 stores are
filled, more will become avail-
able. This can be any store in
Ohio with the available retail
space. The franchisee will tell
Maggie the preferred location,
and Maggie and Walmart will
find the nearest available store.

DEAR DOCTOR
K: My lower back
has been giving
me trouble. Could
you describe
some exercises to
strengthen it?
DEAR READER:
If misery loves
company, youll be
glad to hear that there
are many people who
have back problems.
One large survey
conducted by the
government found
that about one out
of every four adults
had suffered from
back pain lasting at
least a whole day in
the previous three
months.
The good news
is that an exercise
program designed to
stretch and strengthen
your back and core
muscles can help you
heal from back pain
and help prevent a
repeat episode.
Both strengthening
exercises and
stretching are
essential. The bones
of your spine (the
vertebrae) hold you
upright. They are
stacked on top of
each other like a roll
of dimes. That stack
is like a column, but
the bones in that stack
stay on top of each
other only because
the muscles attached
to those bones keep
them in proper
position.
When those muscles
are weak, changes
in the position of
the bones can cause
pain. Nerves that run
between the bones
can be pinched, and
ligaments that attach
the bones to each
other can become
strained.
Stretching is
important because
sometimes the pain
comes from the
muscles themselves.
As we get older,
our muscles tend
to stiffen up more.
When a stiff muscle
is suddenly asked to
work, it can cause
pain. If the muscle
is gently stretched, it
becomes more ready
to work. Supple, well-
stretched muscles
are less prone to
injury. Stretch gently,
without bouncing.
If you arent used to
stretching, start by
holding a stretch for a
short time. Gradually
build up to roughly
30-second stretches.
Its not just your
back muscles that
need strengthening
and stretching; other
muscles also are im-
portant in keeping
your back straight.
Specifically, a stretch-
ing and strengthening
regimen should target
your back, abdominal
and buttock muscles.
Together, these mus-
cles help maintain an
upright posture and
support the back dur-
ing walking, standing
and sitting.
The muscles of the
upper legs also need
to be strong and
flexible. When they
are weak and tight,
they can strain the
supporting structures
of the back.
If you were
exercising before
your back pain and
had to slow down
or stop because of
it, dont resume
exercising at the same
level as before the
episode. If you try to
pick up where you
left off, you might
hurt your back again.
Gradually build back
up to where you were
before.
I advise working
with an expert to
develop a suitable
exercise program.
Ask your doctor
to recommend a
physiatrist (a doctor
who specializes in
physical medicine), a
physical therapist or
a reputable personal
trainer. The right
exercise program will
help you build strong,
flexible muscles that
will be less prone to
injury.
To get you started,
Ive put descriptions
and illustrations of
several back-strength-
ening exercises on
my website, AskDoc-
torK.com.
Strengthening and stretching
program can heal back pain

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Man should stop writing
letters to wife and talk to her
Dear Annie: A couple of
years ago, you published my
letter signed No-Win Situa-
tion in Wisconsin. My wife
and I had been sharing a vaca-
tion with another couple, and
I witnessed the husband kiss
my wife on the lips as they
left. You said if I trust my
wife, not to worry
about it.
After you
printed my letter, I
wrote this couple a
half-sincere take
the high road let-
ter, admitting I
could have been
wrong about inter-
preting that kiss
and invited them
to come for din-
ner and stay over.
They never replied.
But a month later, they drove
into town and met my wife
for lunch while I was at work.
The husband asked my wife
whether I felt neglected.
How smug is that?
A couple of weeks later,
my wife and I celebrated our
25th anniversary at a lovely
vacation spot, and a week lat-
er, she stayed overnight at this
couples home while visiting
a mutual friend who was ill.
I am getting the distinct
message that I am the one
with the problem, and there-
fore, I can be completely by-
passed when she makes deci-
sions involving this couple.
While I do not feel it would
be right to ask my wife to
close the door on this friend-
ship, that last visit had me los-
ing sleep. I wrote my wife a
letter about my feelings, and
even though I realize their re-
lationship could be nothing, it
still upsets me.
Now that this husband has
retired, I fear the pace will
quicken in his efforts to put
our friendship back where it
was, but whatever my insecu-
rities and shortcomings, I get
angry just thinking about it.
Am I making sense or just go-
ing bananas? More Maine
Madness
Dear Maine: We doubt
anything untoward is go-
ing on, but your wife is de-
liberately disregarding your
feelings. She thinks you are
being foolish, and so she ig-
nores you. This makes you
feel marginalized and angry.
Please stop writing letters
and simply talk to your wife.
Tell her gently that seeing this
couple behind your back only
makes you distrust her, and
that eats away at the core of
your marriage. Tell her you
will back off if she will be
more respectful of your feel-
ings.
Dear Annie:
My wonderful hus-
band delivers oil to
peoples homes and
works hard keeping
homes toasty and
warm throughout
the winter. It is a
demanding job, but
for the most part, he
enjoys it.
The problem
is, some custom-
ers dont plow or
shovel paths to
their tanks. Their driveways
are cleared and the paths to
their bird feeders, but my hus-
band has to pull a heavy hose
through knee-deep snow to
reach the tanks.
By the time he gets home,
he is soaked up to his thighs,
cold and exhausted. This
is enough to make anyone
cranky. He sure would appre-
ciate it if people could make
his job easier by shoveling a
path to their tank. Please
Be Kind
Dear Please: Thank you
for reminding our readers that
any service people who need
to have access to outside areas
of their homes should not get
lost in a snowdrift because the
path isnt plowed. This is not
only for the person who deliv-
ers oil. Its also the postal car-
rier, the meter reader and the
cable repairman. If you know
someone is coming, please
see that they can get there.
Dear Annie: I totally
agree with I Need Nice
Clothes, Too. The bigger
sizes are tucked into the fur-
thest corner of the store, the
selection is small, the styles
are horrendous, the sleeves
are too tight and the tops are
too short.
My other complaint is that
the large-size models dont
look like me. They are tall
with fat stomachs. I am 5
feet 4 and the grandmother of
four. There are a lot of older,
mature women with money to
spend, so I hope the manufac-
turers start listening. In-
verness, Fla.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 2014
You will finally be forced to
make tough decisions that you have
managed to avoid in the past. The
only way to make progress will be to
address any longstanding problems
once and for all. You may not like
change, but it will be necessary to
accept it this year.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Knowledge will be the defining
feature of your future success. Take
part in anything that will give you an
edge over the competition. A romantic
interest will develop swiftly.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Look after any chronic health
problems. Dont cut corners with legal
or financial concerns. Stay informed
about any important matters and dont
allow stress to wear you down.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- A relationship may preoccupy
you today. Remain calm and try to
be fun and lighthearted. You will
be emotional, and its better to be
positive, affectionate and devoted
than upset.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Now is not the time to pause and
reflect. Move forward and reach for
your goals. Professional matters could
work out in your favor if you make an
effort.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Decide what you need to do to update
your image for the better. Socializing
with someone who interests you
romantically will have a positive
outcome, but be careful not to move
too fast.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Stop yourself before you overreact
and do something you may regret.
You will lack important details about
a situation that is bothering you. Dont
make a hasty play.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take
advantage of any opportunity you
have to travel today. If you cant get
away, content yourself with research.
New information will help you plan
your future.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Do whatever it takes to stay ahead of
the curve. Concentrate on your work.
Push your proposals forward without
reservation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Dont let conflicting feelings paralyze
you. Make decisions that will
eliminate interactions with people
who are causing you grief. You are at
a crossroads in your life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Limitations are evident. If you
carry on with your current approach,
you will lose your footing. Focus
on friends and creative endeavors.
Clandestine activities will blow up in
your face today.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- You will need to accept help
from a capable person. If you go it
alone, you wont get off the ground.
This is not the time to rely exclusively
on your own resources.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- You cant trust anyone else to
do your job correctly. If you wish to
advance, you must show your worth
to those with influence. Business trips
are likely to be profitable.

Todays joke:
Three buddies die in a car crash, and they find them-
selves at the pearly gates.
They are all asked, When you are in your casket and
friends and family are mourning upon you, what would
you like to hear them say about you?
The first guy says, I would like to hear them say that
I was the greatest doctor of my time, and a great family
man.
The second guy says, I would like to hear that I was a
wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge
difference in our children of tomorrow.
The last guy replies, I would like to hear them say

A franchisee would expect an initial investment
of $20-25k, and the first year earnings in the $50-
65k range. Maggies pilot stores have achieved
growth in subsequent years. The PC-ER billable rate
is an industry average $75/hour.
Every veteran knows that training is key. Maggie
is coordinating with a recognized business school
for online entrepreneurial training. The online train-
ing is followed by 30-hour of entrepruenial training
for each franchisee, and then followed by a one-year
mentorship with a business professor.
Further, Maggie is lining up support for most, if
not all, of the franchisees startup costs. She is coor-
dinating with the Small Business Administration
now, and each Ohio county has a revolving loan
fund to help entrepreneurs.
Veterans and entrepreneurs share two common
traits: they both know risk, and they can adapt to
unfamiliar environments. This isnt for everyone.
After serving our country in the military, it is under-
standable that most returning veterans will prefer a
steady paycheck to the stress of starting a business.
The PC-ER franchisee, on the other hand, will need
to bring confidence and creative energy to succeed,
and to grow the company.
The US economy is flat. The businesses that
succeed today are those that help people maintain
their stuff. People are keeping their cars longer, their
homes longer, and their PCs longer. Mechanics,
handymen and computer repair services are the hot
businesses in this economic climate. Pair that with
the thousands of daily Walmart customers that will
see your Veteran Owned and Operated PC-ER
shop, and youve got two fundamental business
requirements in your favor.
The veteran franchisee will need an exit strat-
egy. Will he keep his PC-ER store long term, or is
it the first of many business ventures? The common
valuation for such an operation is roughly 1-2x of
annual revenue. For example, assume you were to
achieve the low end of earnings of $50k. You could
(in line with the LLC rules) sell your established,
fully operational and Walmart-collocated franchise
for $50-100k. Or you can buy additional locations
thus making you a PC-ER franchise enterprise.
Special pricing alternatives exist for this as well.
PC-ER offers an alternative to the many job
programs available to veterans. It offers an income
similar to other veteran career opportunities in
todays job market. And, it offers benefits that, in
my opinion, are ideal for the returning veteran, such
as: 1) independence, 2) purpose, 3) a low-key and
friendly environment, and 4) ownership.
This franchise opportunity is available to all
veterans and their families. If you are a veteran or a
family member of a US Veteran and you are looking
for a new challenge, I strongly urge you to introduce
yourself to my friend, Maggie, at mw@im3.com.

During these 17 snow-
falls, the county has
received 33.0 inches of
snow; with the rest of
January and all of February
and March to come, the
snowfall tally will contin-
ue to climb. Last year, Van
Wert received 33.05 inches
of snow the entire winter
season, a number that was
nearly reached this year by
mid-January.
The average snowfall
for the county is 31 inches.
Some of the biggest snow
events in Van Wert County
since 1924 included 1964
and 1974 when 63 inches
of snow were received,
1982 when 82 inches were
received and 1978 when 83
inches of snow fell.

Smith thought using a tractor-
driven camera from Columbus
Grove would enable them to see
inside the line. He said the cost to
use the camera is $100 per hour,
which would include filming the
interior of the sewer line. Smith
also said because of the safety
issues, he would like to keep the
farmers from farming those areas
which run perpendicular to the
highways. Early conjecture is the
pipe may have overflowed and
caused blown seams during the
flood in 2008.
Smith addressed snow remov-
al and commended Maintenance
Supervisor Ted Wrasman on
doing a great job this year.
The tractor seems to be
working great, Smith said. Ive
had no complaints about snow
removal.
Smith also reported the Water
Treatment Plant pump came
back on Tuesday and has been
re-installed.
It was an impeller, which
was covered under warranty,
Smith said. Its running at the
same rate as it was after it was
first installed and working fine.
Since the installation of the
pump in mid-October, which
served as the villages primary
pump, there have been ongo-
ing issues with its operation. In
December, the pump was taken
out and sent back for repairs and
in November, the pump was
down and the village was running
on its secondary pump.
Smith also said the village
needs a third pump, which would
serve as a spare, and hed like to
wait until spring to see how the
new pump performs.
Well get a Barnes as a
spare, he said. Well run the
Gorman Rupp pump until we can
no longer run it.
Both Smith and Wrasman
agreed the Gorman Rupp Infinity
model the village is using as their
secondary pump is difficult to get
replacement parts for and almost
obsolete at close to 4 years old.
Discussion turned to taking
down the holiday banners and
replacing them with the usual
banners. In addition, members
entertained the idea of using solar
lighting with the holiday banners
next year.
The next council meeting will
be held in the library at 7:30 p.m.
on Feb. 18.
