DEA not in support of Blizzard Bags

By NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS With Blizzard Bags all the buzz in schools this winter, Delphos Education Association President Christine Siebeneck read a formal statement from the group, who, at this time, is not supporting the program. The effort is a way for schools to make up up to three calamity days by teachers preparing student assignments equivalent to 6 1/2 hours of instruction for each day missed. As educators, we feel Blizzard Bags are not the right course of action for Delphos City Schools, Siebeneck said. We have a diverse district and the program is not a quality substitute for interaction and instruction from a teacher in the classroom. The statement from the DEA read by Siebeneck is at the end of this story. School districts throughout the state should know by the end of the month about additional calamity days. The Ohio Senate will vote on the measure today. If the Senate passes it, the governor will sign it by end of the month, Superintendent Kevin Wolfe said. Wolfe also gave a special thankyou to maintenance/custodians, city/ county road crews and bus drivers for getting the districts parking lots, sidewalks and roads clear and getting the students to school safely. In other action, the board: Approved Damon Ulm as head boys track coach; Hired Todd Teman and Brent Binkley as co-assistant track coaches. They will share the salary; Hire Damon Joseph and Ben Babcock as co-JV baseball coaches. They will share the salary; Accepted the resignation of Terri Suever as varsity football and basketball cheer coach; and Approved Matt Gerdeman as volunteer baseball coach. See BAGS, page 12

River coalition speaks at Elida meeting

BY CYNTHIA YAHNA Herald Correspondent news@delphosherald.com at the Red Cross Allen County Chapter House at 610 S. Collett St. in Lima. Old clothes, comfortable shoes that can get wet and gloves are mandatory. Representatives from neighborhood associations, area businesses, service clubs, schools and the general public have confirmed plans to participate. More volunteers are needed. She added that storm drain markers will be placed on the streets as a reminder that household products, yard waste and litter dumped in curbside drains end up directly in local rivers, streams and lakes. It is estimated that 90 percent of the pollution in streams is from stormwater runoff, which contains urban and agricultural pollutants. Runoff like this contains chemicals which are harmful to fish, other aquatic life and humans, according to the coalition. We will be placing door knob hangers on residents doors to let them know where the storm drain markers are located, just to let them know, Higbie said. Councilman Claude Paxton suggested council hold executive sessions before or after regular council meetings whenever feasible. I would like to see executive sessions, which will not likely contain information to be made public, held after adjourning the regular council meeting, he said. See ELIDA, page 12

ELIDA Beth Siebert and Jane Higbie, representatives from the Ottawa River Coalition, spoke to Elida Village Council members Tuesday evening. The Ottawa River Coalition has been a key element in improving the quality of the Ottawa River Watershed. The goal of the ORC is to minimize the amount of pollutants that enter the watershed and educate the public about the importance of water quality. The coalition is comprised of a wide range of partners from industry, agencies, agriculture, business, engineering, municipalities and political subdivisions who are actively concerned about the protection and restoration of the watershed where they live and work. Siebert spoke about the renewal of the Storm Water Management Plan and explained about the new permit cycle for all storm water plans that need to be re-written by June 2015. The work we do for your village is done in six different minimum-control measures. In a few months, you will receive a notice to renew the permits. So far, the EPA has been happy with the results we have generated for the counties and villages, she said. We appreciate this opportunity to service your village.

Curls and dimples: Shirley Temple dies at 85 OBITUARIES The Delphos

Associated Press Former President George H.W. Bush, who appointed Black to the post in Prague, saluted her Tuesday for her selfless service to our country and her film career. In both roles, she truly lifted people up and earned not only a place in our hearts, but also our enduring respect, Bush said in a statement. Temple, known in private life as Shirley Temple Black, died at her home near San Francisco. The cause of death was not disclosed. From 1935 to 1938, she was the most popular screen actress in the country and a bigger draw than Clark Gable, Joan Crawford or Gary Cooper. In 1999, the American Film Institutes ranking of the greatest screen legends put Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses. I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award: Start early, she quipped in 2006 as she was honored by the Screen Actors Guild. But she also said that evening that her greatest roles were as wife, mother and grandmother: Theres nothing like real love. Nothing. Her husband of more than 50 years, Charles Black, had died a few months earlier. In Bright Eyes, Temple introduced the song On the Good Ship Lollipop and did battle with a charmingly bratty Jane Withers, launching Withers as another major child star. As a bright-eyed orphan in Curly Top, she sang Animal Crackers in My Soup. See TEMPLE, page 12

Schools given more time for achievement tests

COLUMBUS (AP) Schools will get an extra week to administer required state achievement tests to third- through eighth-graders due to the effects of severe winter weather that has delayed and canceled classes, Ohios state superintendent said Tuesday. Many districts are scrambling to keep pace with classroom topics that students face on the Ohio Achievement Tests starting in April. Superintendent Richard Ross told members of the state school board that the testing window will be expanded from three weeks to four weeks, running from April 21 to May 16. The timetable for administering the Ohio Graduation Test has not changed. Many Ohio schools have exhausted their five allowable days off for bad weather. State lawmakers are moving forward with a bill that would allow four additional days away from class this year. The legislations sponsor has expressed willingness to add a provision to the bill which faces a House floor vote today to tweak the June 15 deadline by which achievement test

STATE/LOCAL

results are due, but with Ross on board with the extension that appears just a technicality. Ohio Department of Education spokesman John Charlton said the department could waive the deadline if need be. School leaders have had to make some tough decisions, but theyve kept the needs of the students their top priority, he said. This will give teachers some extra time before they take those assessments to prepare for these tests. Students in some districts have missed 10 or more days because of weather including heavy snow storms and arctic temperatures. Besides legislation adding calamity days, state lawmakers are also pursuing a bill that would excuse high school seniors from certain school days their district must make up because of weather-related closures. It proposes allowing seniors to skip make-up days that occur after their graduation ceremonies and would only apply to the current school year. The measure will be heard by an Ohio Senate committee today.

The Associated Press says West Side Story remains Broadways best dance-driven musical. Five decades have not dimmed the extraordinary choreography or the score that pulsates throughout.

Judge OKs child cancer suit against Whirlpool

TOLEDO (AP) A federal judge is allowing families whose children have been among dozens sickened in a northern Ohio cancer cluster to move forward with a lawsuit against Whirlpool Corp. after dismissing some of the claims. The families believe smokestacks from Whirlpools huge washing machine plant in Clyde sent a chemical compound suspected of causing cancer into the neighborhoods of several children who were among the first diagnosed. Whirlpool, based in Benton Harbor, Mich., has maintained that there is no scientific or medical fact to back up the allegations. U.S. District Judge James Carr on Monday dismissed allegations of reckless conduct and fraud against Whirlpool along with claims that the cancer cluster hurt property values around the factory. He did allow the lawsuits claims of personal injury and wrongful death to stand. Nearly 40 young people in a rural area between Toledo and Cleveland have been diagnosed with various types of cancer since the mid-1990s. The diagnoses peaked in 2006, when nine children were told they had cancer. Attorneys for the families said in a statement that the judges ruling will force Whirlpool to give them information that the company had been reluctant to release. It is one small step in the search for the truth, said attorney Chuck Boyk. Whirlpool said in a statement that it was pleased most of the claims in the lawsuit had been dismissed. The company said in November that soil tests showed no evidence of illegal dumping or widespread contamination at a now-closed park where the lawsuit claimed the company dumped potentially cancercausing waste.

Family experiencing first real Michigan winter

BY LOVINA EICHER We are already into the second month of 2014. Many, many inches of snow have fallen already this year. Our neighbor cleaned out our drive again yesterday. We have some pretty big snow banks that have accumulated from the drive being cleaned out quite often. We are finally experiencing a real Michigan winter. We havent had one since we moved here 10 years ago. This morning, our thermometer showed a cold nine degrees. This cold weather makes us still enjoy working on 1,000-piece puzzles when time allows and in the evenings. We are almost halfway done with the sixth one this winter. Some are harder than others. It depends on the picture and the shape of the puzzle pieces. This last one is not as fun as a lot of the pieces are the same shape. You have to be careful that a piece doesnt get put in the wrong place. It can look like it would fit in easily when its not where it belongs. Yesterday, Feb. 5, was Susans friend Moses birthday. Susan wanted to take supper in to his family in honor of his birthday. I helped her make the food which consisted of pizza casserole, lettuce salad, freezer pickles, hot peppers, chocolate pudding, angel food cake dessert, peaches and Swiss roll bars. We frosted the top of the bars so we could put Happy Birthday Mose on it so it could work as a cake since he likes the bars. We made enough food so we could have an easy supper here. If the weather would have been nicer, we would have all went along with Susan to Moses place. But there was a winter storm warning out, so we werent sure how the weather would be by evening. It sounds like Mose had a nice birthday in spite of the weather. Daughter Verena is enjoying the sunny south right now. She was offered an expensefree trip to the Sarasota/ Pinecraft area in Florida with some friends of ours. I talked with her yesterday and she is enjoying the warm weather. They spent the day at the Siesta Key beach and it was 77 degrees there. It is difficult to imagine that it is actually warm in some places of the world. Verena left Monday morning around 9:45 a.m. By late evening, they were in North Carolina where they spent the night at a distant relatives of mine. They reached Sarasota around 8 p.m. Tuesday evening. Our house has seemed empty ever since with Verena not around. I think this will be a memorable trip for her and am glad she had such a wonderful opportunity to go. Our family visited the same place in 2011 while doing some book signings but at that time, Verena had her foot in a walking boot and couldnt enjoy the ocean as well. We miss her very much and will be glad when shes back home safe and sound. She should be back home next week some time. Blessings to all.

Allen County Historical Society to present Inside the Ohio Penitentiary

Information submitted The Allen County Museum will host Inside the Ohio Penitentiary program and book signing at 2 p.m. Feb. 23. The Ohio Penitentiary was opened in 1834 in the young capital city of Columbus. Completely demolished in 1998, the prison was located downtown in an area now known as the Arena District, a well known and popular hot spot for entertainment, food and living. For more than 100 years, the penitentiary confined the notorious and lesser-known criminals of Ohio. A facility that was designed to house 1,500 eventually housed 4,900 adding to the dangerous and stressed environment. The recently released book, Inside the Ohio Penitentiary, considers some of the more notorious criminals housed at the prison as well as significant events including the 1930 fire that took the lives of more than 300 inmates. Some of the stories presented in the book tie to Lima, including inmates that were transferred from Columbus to the Lima State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and the members of

Third quarter dooms Lady Dawgs on Senior Night

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com ELIDA According to Elida girls basketball co-coaches Chrissy Billiter and Elise Jenkins, the Lady Bulldogs have been bedeviled by a bad quarter in almost all of their games, especially losses. The trend held true Tuesday night versus Marion Local. This night, it was the third period which saw the Lady Flyers outscore the Lady Bulldogs 17-2 to break open a 2-pooint halftime lead and led to a 50-34 non-conference Flyer triumph on Senior Night on the Union Bank Court of the Elida Fieldhouse. Six Lady Dawgs played their home finales: Kylie Downton (6 markers, 8 boards), Cassidy Slusher (4 points), Ashley Lowry (4 markers, 5 steals), Torie McAdams (4 points, 2 blocks), Carly Stetter (3 counters, 4 caroms) and Lauren Nolan (2 markers). We usually play good for three quarters, like tonight. Its that fourth quarter tonight the third that we have that kills us, Billiter noted. The girls know they have the talent to do this; its getting them to do it all the time. We can tell the girls everything but they have to carry it out. Right now, its getting five girls to have chemistry. We feel that games should be easy and practices hard but were trying to do things differently. Marion (16-4) led 22-20 to commence the third canto and ran off the first four all by Brooke Winner (21 counters, 9 boards, 3 steals) before Downton scored at 5:43, the hosts only tally of the stanza. That was just the beginning for the visitors. Winner scored seven more in the period as the Flyers controlled the Elida shooting (1-of-13, including 0-of-7 long range), then the boards 15-4 (4-2 offensive), which led to them getting into transition and shooting well (7-of-13). When Winner capped off her third-period explosion with a buzzerbeating layin in transition, they led 39-22. The hole was too deep for the hosts to get out of. They finally broke their drought at 6:28 on a Slusher back-door but they couldnt warm up enough in the finale 6-of-18. Despite forcing eight Marion miscues (22 overall) with full-court pressure, the closest they could get was 15 twice. Elidas 1-2-2 half-court zone seemed to befuddle the Flyers getting back 5-6 junior starting point guard Allie Thobe (11 markers, 3 assists) from injury in the first stanza, forcing eight miscues. That led to them pushing the ball in transition but not many easy looks. It did lead to their biggest margin of the evening 11-5 on a Downton transition layin at 2:10. The visitors Emily Mescher (5 markers, 12 caroms) hit four straight: a third-chance basket at 1:45 and a short banker at 40 ticks; to close within 11-9. The Flyers kept rallying and tied it at 14-14 on a 3-ball by Lexi Wilker at the 5-minute mark. Nolan and Wilker traded deuces, as did Winner and Slusher. Thobe sank a free throw but sophomore Bailee Kuhn gave the Lady Dawgs their final advantage of 20-19 on a 14-footer from the right lane at 1:35. Wilker tied it with a toss at 1:05 and when Thobe grabbed a mid-court steal and laid it in with 36 ticks showing, Marion had the lead for good at 22-20. Its the same old, same old. We arent natural defenders, Jenkins added. When a team goes high-low, for example, we dont defend it naturally. We even had our bigs in the game at the same time and still didnt defend it. It comes down to the girls simply wanting to take what we show them in practice and do it in the games all the time, not just some of the time. We played a good first half and let it get away with a bad third. Marion Local ended up 19-of-45 from the floor, 1-of-7 from 3-land, for 42.2 percent and 11-of-18 from 15 feet (61.1.%). They dined on 44 caroms, 15 offensive, as Cadence Jacobs added six (4 dimes) and added 12 fouls. Elida (9-11) notched 16-of-52 shots (1-of-15 trifectas) for 30.8 percent and 1-of-5 singles (20%). They accumulated 25 off the glass (9 offensive) as junior Abby Waddle added four, 15 turnovers and 18 infractions. See ELIDA, page 8

Jays lose 3rd straight game

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Its been an up and down year for Coach Aaron Elwer and his St. Johns Blue Jay boys basketball team. The Blue Jays have beaten big-city schools like Columbus Bishop Hartley over the Christmas break and defeated a state-ranked Marion Local at home. They even gave Midwest Athletic Conference leader Fort Recovery everything they had before losing on a lastsecond shot on the road. Last Friday night, the Blue Jays were totally outplayed by Versailles which had lost all seven games without their star player, Kyle Ahrens, falling 40-33. The Van Wert Cougars came to town Tuesday night with a sub-par record of 8-10 and the home team was hoping to get back on the winning track. Instead, the Cougars came away with a 53-48 victory, giving St. Johns their second 3-game skid of the season. During the Blue Jays skid, the offense has failed to put points on the board to start the game, forcing their defense to dig out of a hole. Thats exactly what happened again as the Cougars jumped out to a 7-point lead to open the game. St. Johns finally scored when Andy Grothouse grabbed an offensive rebound and his putback put the Jays on the scoreboard. The only other made field goal of the first period was also by Grothouse with a triple; combined with one made free throw each by Evan Hays and Ryan Koester, the Jays trailed 16-7 at the end of one. Grothouse continued to score from the field for the blue and gold with a bucket to start the second stanza. Van Werts Matt Bidlack began to make his presence felt on the court with a move to the hole over a pair of Blue Jay defenders and was fouled. His pair from the charity line doubled up the Jays 18-9. Grothouse got an assist on a pass underneath to Jake Csukker for the layin but Bidlack grabbed an offensive rebound at the other end and put it back for two. St. Johns starting chipping away at the Cougar lead as Grothouse made two free throws and Hays hit a pull-up 8-footer. Conner Holiday nailed a three for Van Wert to extend its lead back to seven points. Alex Odenweller, returning to the Blue Jay lineup after an injury, hit a triple and Koester made one of his

Norway wins 4 more medals; US hopefuls falter

Associated Press SOCHI, Russia The most decorated country in Winter Olympic history earned four more medals Tuesday and the most famous snowboarder in the world had his hopes for a third straight gold in the halfpipe dashed. Norway won double gold in the crosscountry freestyle sprints while picking up silver medals in the womens sprint and in the womens 10-kilometer biathlon pursuit. That gave the Norwegians the medal lead as the games concluded their fifth day, and it pushed their overall total to 317 since the Winter Olympics began in 1924. The United States saw several of its best hopes evaporate, including Shaun White, the flamboyant snowboarder who was dethroned by Iouri Podladtchikov. Known as I-Pod, the Russian-born Swiss snowboarder was flawless while White failed to master his rivals best trick. Another U.S. gold medal prospect, cross-country skier Kikkan Randall, was eliminated in the qualifying rounds of the womens freestyle sprint. Maiken Caspersen Falla of Norway took the gold in that race, with teammate Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg earning silver. Ola Vigen Hattestad captured the mens sprint title in a race marred by a three-skier collision. Emil Joensson of Sweden, who had all but given up earlier in the race, grabbed the bronze after Sergey Ustiugov of Russia, Marcus Hellner of Sweden and Anders Gloeersen of Norway were involved in a crash that left them sprawled across the course. Soft snow caused a number of spills throughout the day. SNOWBOARDING: The trick that White couldnt master is called YOLO You Only Live Once. Podladtchikov created it and landed it successfully. White tried it twice but couldnt match I-Pod, settling for fourth and no medal. CROSS-COUNTRY: Hattestad took the early lead, avoided the crash behind him and then held off Teodor Peterson of Sweden for the gold. Peterson finished 1.2 seconds behind for silver. Vesna Fabjan of Slovenia won the bronze in the womens sprint. Besides Randall, Marit Bjoergen of Norway was also eliminated early. BIATHLON: Darya Domracheva of Belarus led for most of the womens 10-kilometer pursuit race, missing only the last target before finishing in 29 minutes, 30.7 seconds. Tora Berger of Norway took silver and Teja Gregorin of Slovenia claimed the bronze. SLOPESTYLE SKIING: Dara Howell won gold with a score of 94.20, trouncing the rest of the field, and Kim Lamarre earned bronze to give the Canadians seven medals in four days of snowboarding and freestyle skiing, including three events in which they took two of the top three spots. Were over the moon right now, said Peter Judge, CEO of the Canadian Freestyle Skiing Association. Devin Logan of the United States took silver. Canadas big day was tempered by teammate Yuki Tsubotas crash on the slushy snow. She was carried off the mountain on a stretcher with a possible fractured jaw. SPEEDSKATING: Lee Sang-hwa won the womens 500 meters and set an Olympic record of 37.28 seconds in her second race, beating the mark of 37.30 set by Catriona Le May Doan at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Her combined time of 1 minute, 14.70 seconds also was an Olympic record, beating Le May Doans mark of 1:14.75. Olga Fatkulina of Russia won the silver and Margot Boer of the Netherlands got the bronze. LUGE: Natalie Geisenbergers victory was Germanys fifth straight in womens luge. Teammate Tatjana Huefner won the silver and Erin Hamlin picked up the bronze, the first singles luge medal ever for the United States. Hamlin expected an Olympic medal four years ago and came up empty. This time around, she expected nothing. Lowering expectations, it turns out, raised her game. Who knew? she asked. Hamlin winning the bronze medal touched off a wild celebration among family and friends in the Russian mountains and a raucous party home in Remsen, N.Y. Its a place where hundreds of people about half the town, it would appear huddled around televisions streaming the online feed of her history making run down the track at the Sanki Sliding Center. This time, I was like, You know what? I won worlds before, Ive had podium (finishes) and it would be amazing to get on, but if I have four solid runs which until today I never had in the Olympics I would be happy with it, Hamlin explained. I just really wanted to enjoy the experience and really take it all in. I dont know if Ill be back again, so its great to be able to do that. I really

came in with no expectations. Neither, it would be fair to say, did USA Luge. Four times in the past, USA Luge has sent a doubles teams to the Olympic podium. But no American had ever won an Olympic singles medal in the sport. Not until Hamlin delivered her bronze on Tuesday. Its nice to break the streak, said Tony Benshoof, one of three U.S. lugers to finish fourth in a previous Olympics, until now the best showing for an American singles competitor. Ive always known that Erin could get on the podium. It just hadnt happened yet. At the Turin Games as a wide-eyed teen, Hamlin finished 12th. Four years later in Vancouver, a year removed from winning the world championship, she was 16th after never figuring out how to deal with the tricky start ramp sliders were forced to use following the death of a mens competitor. Now, shes an Olympic medalist. And yes, to the Hamlin clan, third place at the Olympics seemed like a whole lot bigger victory than winning the world title. SKI JUMPING: Carina Vogt won the first gold medal in womens ski jumping. The 22-year-old German overcame heavy favorite Sara Takanashi, the World Cup leader in the sport who ended up a disappointing fourth. Daniela Iraschko-Stolz of Austria took silver and Colin Mattell of France earned bronze. Volosozhar-Trankov lead pairs after short program: Maxim Trankov patted the ice then kissed his hand. This home rink has been very good to Russian figure skaters so far at the Sochi Games. Trankov and Tatiana Volosozhar, the reigning world champions, mesmerized their countrymen and the judges Tuesday in their victorious performance in the pairs short program. This is a very special moment in our lives, to be skating in a Russian Olympics, he said. Volosozhar and Trankov scored 84.17 points to lead Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany by 4.53 going into todays free skate. Fellow Russians Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov were third, another 4.43 points back. See OLYMPICS, page 8

Liberty-Benton finally gets to speed things up

By RUSTY MILLER Associated Press HELPING OTHERS: Old Forts Hunter Perry averages almost 30 points per game and had scored 35 late in overtime of Fridays game with Carey. But it was an assist a pass to teammate Jon Lotycz under the basket with 4 seconds left that led to the game-winning basket in a 75-73 win. FUN WHILE IT LASTED: Waterford had won 60 consecutive home games against Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division opponents before Thursday nights 75-44 setback to Reedsville Eastern. Glouster Trimble was the last road team to defeat the Lady Cats in league play, doing so by a 51-42 margin back on Jan. 17, 2004. It was also the first league loss at home for ninth-year Waterford coach Jerry Close, who owns eight TVC Hocking titles (six outright) and a 106-5 overall record within the division. GAME OF SPURTS: Napoleons boys trailed Maumee 38-24 after three quarters but outscored the Panthers 32-13 in the fourth quarter for a 56-51 win; unbeaten Convoy Crestview, which was 0-2 against Haviland Wayne Trace in football, moved to 2-0 in boys hoops by outscoring the 14-2 Raiders 39-16 in the second half for a 70-40 win; Ottawa-Glandorfs boys jumped to a 27-3 lead after one quarter and cruised past Leipsic 81-60 in a battle of schools that played in the state finals a year ago; Hurons Adam Storer scored 27 of his 31 points in the second half of a 69-53 win vs. Vermilion; and Celinas Ryan Hoyng was 0 for 5 from the field and scoreless in the first half against Lima Shawnee but scored 25 points in the second half and overtime going 11 for 11 at the line including 8 of 8 in the extra session to lead the Bulldogs to a 76-74 win; See NOTEBOOK, page 8

Desperate times call for desperate slowdowns. Nothing was holding back Findlay Liberty-Bentons girls team, which was 8-0 in Blanchard Valley Conference play and had won 16 straight games since a season-opening loss to Bellevue. So Arlington coach Seth Newlove tried something extreme. After Liberty-Benton scored off the opening tip, Arlington took the air out of the ball. The Red Devils attempted only three shots the entire first half and had a 4-2 lead late in the first quarter. Liberty-Benton hit two 3s, though, one at the firstquarter buzzer and another that put the Eagles up 8-4 at the half. When Liberty-Benton opened the third quarter with two quick baskets, Arlington had to abandon its plan and ended up on the losing end of a 35-10 game. The win clinched the BVC title for Liberty-Benton, its 11th in the last 18 seasons. RECORD-SMASHERS: Lauren Speice of Haviland Wayne Trace (with 231) broke her mother Angie (Hall) Speices school rebounding record (222), set in the 198687 season; Lima Seniors Indiya Benjamin broke the girls record when she scored 26 points in a 90-66 win over Toledo Central Catholic, giving her 1,488 career points to snap the 25-year-old record of Tammy Williams; and Fostoria St. Wendelins Kamryn Troike broke her singlegame scoring record for the third time this season and almost added a rebounding record as well when the 6-3 sophomore scored 35 points and hauled down 25 rebounds in a 55-50 win over Attica Seneca East.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS: Luke Kennard, also a Mr. Football finalist, scored 41 points 31 in the second half as Franklin won its third straight Southwestern Buckeye League Southwestern Division championship with a 63-54 win at Bellbrook; J.T. McFarland led four players in double figures with 19 points as Zanesvilles boys extended their unbeaten streak to 18 games with a 71-69 overtime win at West Virginia power Wheeling Park; Jefferson Area girls coach Rod Holmes earned the 450th win of his career in a 50-47 victory at Painesville Riverside on Feb. 4, then made it 451 with a 47-30 victory against visiting Ashtabula Edgewood; and Athens girls saw a 30-game regular season win streak end Saturday with a 59-51 loss at Jackson. BOILER UP: Elidas Dakota Mathias, a Purdue recruit averaging 28.5 points a game, scored 38 points on Friday when the Bulldogs beat defending Division III state champion OttawaGlandorf 89-69, then had 42 the next night, including a gamewinning free throw with less than a second on the clock in a 70-69 win over Lima Central Catholic, ranked No. 4 in Division III. In the first quarter of Saturdays game, Mathias surpassed Reggie McAdams Elida career scoring record of 1,720 points. LOTS TO CELEBRATE: New Knoxvilles girls have been busy handing out kudos. First, senior Haley Horstman became the Rangers all-time leading scorer last Thursday at Fort Recovery, passing the 1,178 points set by Jill (Henschen) Heitkamp from 1979-83.

Jays

(Continued from page 6)

Bidlack continued his dominance on the boards to start the second half with an offensive rebound and bucket. St Johns big man Tyler Conley broke a personal scoring dry spell with a layin. Bidlack scored on a 8-footer after a great move to get the open shot and Elijah Wortman hit a 20-footer to give the Cougars a 4-point lead. Koester drove the length of the court and another reverse layup brought his team within two but thats as close as St. Johns would get for the rest of the game; Van Wert outscored the Blue Jays 11-4 to end the third. St. Johns wasnt about to go away without a fight as Conley scored four points to pull the Jays within 41-36. In between buckets by Holliday, the Jays continued to score in close range as Koester and Conley made short baskets. Clark and Conley made two more buckets as the Jays defensive pressure held Van Wert in check and the lead was down to three points at 47-44. Holliday stopped the Blue Jay momentum with a 3-pointer with 2:25 left in the game. Coach Elwer called timeout, with the intent of letting the referees know his displeasure with a non-call after Grothouse was leveled before the shot. Connor hitting that three in the fourth quarter was huge

Elida

for us, said Van Wert head coach Mark Bagley. The crowd was really getting into the game and St. Johns defense was feeding off the crowd noise. His shot gave us a 6-point lead and we went onto win the game. Elijah Wortmans defense also was a big key for us tonight. He gave us lots of energy and our team fed off of that. I have the utmost respect for Coach Elwer and Delphos St. Johns team. We weathered the storm and got a big road win. Elwer was unavailable for comment. The Blue Jays had three players in double figures with Grothouse (13), Koester (11) and Conley (10). Van Wert was led by Hollidays game-high 20 points and Bidlack added 15. The next action for Van Wert is on the road Friday night in W.B.L. action at Wapakoneta and then face Jefferson Saturday at home. St. Johns hopes to get back on the winning track with a M.A.C. at New Bremen. In JV action, the Blue Jays stayed within two points of the Cougars through the third quarter before turnovers lead to a 60-40 loss. The JV team was led by Timothy Kreegers 13 points and Jaret Jackson scored nine. VARSITY VAN WERT (53)

Volosozhar and Trankov skated a sharp short program Thursday to help the Russians win gold in the first Olympic team event. They were even better Tuesday. Right on time to restore the countrys dominance in pairs. Russia or the Soviet Union had won gold in 12 straight Olympics in the event before the streak ended four years ago, when the Russians failed to take home any pairs medal from Vancouver. Watching from the stands Tuesday was the pair who started the streak: Ludmila Belousova and Oleg Protopopov, who won consecutive golds in 1964 and 68. More Russian sports royalty turned out: Olympic hockey team members including Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin. Skating to Masquerade Waltz, Volosozhar and Trankovs every movement crackled with passion. As the music swelled, Trankov thrust out his arm, his mouth open in a roar that was returned by the crowd of Russian flag-waving fans.

When all the audience is up on its feet, it gives us great energy, he said. We were trying to breathe together with the audience and feel the good wishes from them. Trankovs long hair and the epaulets on his military uniform trailed behind him as the Russians stepped across the ice they treated as their own ballroom. Volosozhar soared high above him on the triple twist and throw triple loop. Theyll need to match that vitality in the free skate with Savchenko and Szolkowy in range. The Germans, who skate last today, are 4-time world champs, but are missing one piece of hardware from their collection. They had to settle for Olympic bronze four years ago after he fell on their side-by-side double axels in the free skate. On Tuesday, Savchenko was blinding in her neon bodysuit the Pink Panther of their music. Szolkowy wore sea blue pants to go with his take on Inspector Clouseaus uniform jacket. He leapt over Savchenko in one playful moment, then she slid under his legs.

Embroidery Coop wins Business Plan Challenge

BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT The opening of a new small business is celebrated throughout the city and the area. Local economic leaders helped make more celebrations possible with the 2014 Business Plan Challenge Award, which was presented Friday to Ernie Geyer and Shelly Becker of the Embroidery Coop. The process began with the Entrepreneurship Fair in November. From that point, nine persons or groups decided to take on the Business Plan Challenge in which potential business owners put together business plans and presented them to a three-judge panel. The 2014 winners had already opened their business last year and realized they could take advantage of the help offered through this challenge. Going to these classes we really learned, between Gary Corcoran and the people hes brought in, the avenues we can use to market the business better and where to get these facts and figures and the people to talk to, stated Geyer. It was a totally eye-opening experience, added Becker. We opened our business without doing any of this, so to actually put our facts and figures on paper and to come up with a three-year plan that had to be reality, that was the most eye-opening part of it; actually planning it and planning to carry out the plan. I think it gave us more direction. Now we have goals. We had goals in our own minds at one point. Now theyre on paper. Now theyre realistic, Geyer clarified. Becker piped up, And now people know about them which makes them even more real! The Embroidery Coop opened last year at 126 E. Main St., right across from the Courthouse in Van Wert. They do custom embroidery work on shirts, hats and many other items. They also are the sole Van Wert dealer of Stephanie Dawn handbags. The second place winner was Paul Barton who plans to open a facility for kids age four and up to use Airsoft and Nerf guns. For second place, Barton was awarded $1,000 in business development funds, business cards and a certificate for a training program at Wright State Universitys Business Enterprise Center. First-place winners Geyer and Becker won $2,500 in business development funds, business cards, a one-year business membership to the Van Wert Area Chamber of Commerce and certificates for two training programs at the WSU Business Development Center. Monetary awards were made possible through donations from sponsors First Financial Bank, the First Bank of Berne and the OSU Extension Community Development County and City Revolving Loan Funds. The Entrepreneurship Fair and the Business Plan Challenge were conducted through the cooperation of OSU Extension Community Development, the Van Wert Area Chamber of Commerce, Community Improvement Corporation, Main Street Van Wert, the WSU Business Enterprise Center, and the city and county of Van Wert.

Wiggle room for big firms under new coverage rule

extra year, until 2016, to comply with the health care laws requirement to offer coverage. I think its pretty significant because the vast majority of the workforce is in large firms, said Larry Levitt, a health insurance expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. It affects a much bigger swath of the economy. President Barack Obamas health care law requires companies with 50 or more employees working 30 or more hours a week to offer them suitable coverage or pay fines. The so-called employer mandate was written into the law as a guardrail to discourage employers from shifting workers into taxpayer-subsidized coverage. Small businesses with fewer than 50 workers are exempt. And more than 90 percent of the larger firms already offer health care. But even if it directly impacts a relatively small share of companies, the mandate still represents a major new government requirement on businesses. At a time when the economy remains weak, implementation has been fraught with political overtones. The requirement was originally supposed to take effect in 2014, but last summer the White House delayed it for a year. Then came this weeks additional delay for medium-size companies. Treasury officials say the lower coverage standard for bigger companies should help employers struggling with the health care laws definition of a full-time worker as someone who averages 30 hours a week. Many firms have traditionally set a 35-hour week as the threshold for offering health care benefits. To determine if an employer is subject to the mandate, the government doesnt actually count full-time workers. It uses a complicated formula that also averages part-timers hours and converts them to the equivalent of full-time workers. The next step is to determine how many workers averaging 30 or more weekly hours are being offered coverage. Say a franchise owner with two dozen fast-food restaurants in a state is already providing coverage to 50 percent of its workers averaging 30 hours. A 70 percent threshold would be less onerous than expanding the offer to 95 percent of employees. The Treasury Department says it works out to an easier path for companies already on the way.

WASHINGTON (AP) Big retail stores, hotels, restaurants and other firms with lots of low-wage and part-time workers are among the main beneficiaries of the Obama administrations latest tweak to health care rules. Companies with 100 or more workers will be able to avoid the biggest of two potential employer penalties in the Affordable Care Act by offering coverage to 70 percent of their full-timers. That target is considerably easier to hit than the administrations previous requirement of 95 percent, but the wiggle room is only good for next year. It will be very helpful to employers, said Bill OMalley, a tax expert with McGladrey, a consulting firm focused on medium-size businesses. This gives them a bit of a transition period to begin expanding coverage on a gradual basis. There would be some cost savings to employers who otherwise were nowhere near meeting the standard for 2015. It means that big companies, not only medium-sized firms, can benefit from the new employer coverage rules that the Treasury Department announced Monday. Under those rules, companies with 50 to 99 workers were given an

Widest earnings gap for college grads in 48 years

WASHINGTON (AP) The earnings gap between young adults with and without bachelors degrees has stretched to its widest level in nearly half a century. Its a sign of the growing value of a college education despite rising tuition costs, according to an analysis of census data released Tuesday. Young adults with just a high-school diploma earned 62 percent of the typical salary of college graduates. Thats down from 81 percent in 1965, the earliest year for which comparable data are available. The analysis by the Pew Research Center shows the increasing economic difficulties for young adults who lack a bachelors degree in todays economy thats polarized between high- and low-wage work. As a whole, high-school graduates were more likely to live in poverty and be dissatisfied with their jobs, if not unemployed. In contrast, roughly nine in 10 college graduates ages 25 to 32 said that their bachelors degree had paid off or will pay off in the future, according to Pews separate polling conducted last year. Even among the two-thirds of young adults who borrowed money for college, about 86 percent said their degrees have been, or will be, worth it. In todays knowledge-based economy, the only thing more expensive than getting a college education is not getting one, said Paul Taylor, Pews executive vice president and co-author of the report. Young adults see significant economic gains from getting a college degree regardless of the level of student debt they have taken on. The latest findings come amid rising college tuition costs, which have saddled young adults in the so-called Millennial generation with heavy debt amid high unemployment. Noting the increasing importance of a college education, President Barack Obama and Republicans such as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida have pushed proposals to make higher education more affordable as a way to promote upward mobility and bolster Americas shrinking middle class. The report found that not You Put Them In only does a college degree typically yield much more inflationadjusted earnings than before,

but a high-school diploma also is now worth less. That adds to a widening earnings gap that Pew researchers found mirrors the U.S. gap between rich and poor. For instance, college graduates ages 25 to 32 who were working full time now typically earn about $17,500 more annually than employed young adults with just a high school diploma ($45,500 vs. $28,000); those with a two-year degree or some college training earned $30,000. www.edwardjones.com In 1965, before globalization and automation wiped outPlace. many middle-class a Safe jobs in areas such as manufacturing, the inflation-adjusted gap was just $7,449.

DEAR BRUCE: I am writ- Bruce Williams ing this for my parents. They have three children and eight grandchildren. They are both in their 80s and just sold their home. The profit should be about $130,000. My son, his wife and two children are selling their home and looking for a home with in-law quarters so my parents can move in with them. I think it's great that they want to do this. My parents were going to give them $100,000 to pay their share. My son is going to clear only about $30,000 from the sale of his home. He was pre-approved for $140,000 for a mortgage. Homes in this area with in-law quarters are about $250,000. We just don't know if this is the right way to go about this. That $100,000 is about all my parents have besides their pensions and my mom's Social Security ($1,200 a month). If they should pass in a few years, then one grandchild gets to keep that money because it is invested in his home. My parents could live in an apartment, but we all like the idea of them not being alone. My father has the beginnings of dementia. Do you have any suggestions? -- Holly, via email DEAR HOLLY: I don't see the downside here. Your son and his wife are willing to put their money and mortgage into a home with mother-in-law quarters. This is simply a home that has separate living spaces so your parents can have a degree of privacy, but also the comfort of having someone younger to look in on them, help them with shopping and so forth. Whether they live a year or two is a matter that God decides. When they both pass away, your son gets to keep the money invested in his home. With someone close and willing to look after them, I think it's a hell of a deal. Your father with the start of dementia is another problem. Much more care will be required as the dementia takes away some of his abilities. If your son is willing to go into this knowing the dementia is starting, I see no problem. Your parents are very lucky to have him. DEAR BRUCE: I am curious: What is the highest credit score you can have? I just checked mine and it is 750. -- George, via email DEAR GEORGE: The traditional highest credit score is 850, and 750 is certainly a very good score. If you crack 800, you are golden. DEAR BRUCE: My husband recently passed away. Soon I will be receiving his pension. My husband would have turned 65 years old this month; he never collected any of this. I will be 64 years old in October. My options are to receive $37,000 in one lump sum or to get $221 a month for the rest of my life. My mom is 93 years old, so there is longevity on my side. Which should I choose? -- R.R., via email DEAR R.R.: First of all, if you take the $37,000, you have to invest it quite aggressively in order to give you a higher return. Keep in mind that the principal will become part of your estate. In other words, if you take the lump sum and pass away early, youll leave a bigger estate. That would be far less important than what is best for you. It all comes back to what you would do with the money. If you are an aggressive investor, you might want to consider taking the lump sum, but in the absence of that, I would be more comfortable with the lifetime annuity. DEAR BRUCE: I was wondering how a person goes about buying a share of stock. Who do I contact? -- Liz, via email DEAR LIZ: Do you mean a share of stock or do you mean making an investment in the stock market? If you are buying only a share or two, a broker will tell you what companies allow you to do that. I dont understand why you would buy one or two shares, though, unless its a gift to a child to encourage him or her to learn how more about the market. If you are asking how you can invest in the market, you most certainly should contact a broker. When you have to ask such an elementary question, it tells me youre somewhat uninformed about the marketplace. I would encourage you to begin studying the market by reading the business section of your daily newspaper in order to get a better understanding. Once you know more, I still think you should have a broker on your team. It may be difficult to find such a broker if you are making a very small investment. In that case, go to a discount broker where you call all the shots and pay a very small fee. In this event, it is even more important to get a modest education.

Temple

(Continued from page 2)

She was teamed with the legendary dancer Bill Bojangles Robinson in two 1935 films with Civil War themes, The Little Colonel and The Littlest Rebel. Their tap dance up the steps in The Little Colonel (at a time when interracial teamings were rare in Hollywood) became a landmark in the history of dance on film. Known for a remarkable ability to cry on cue, she won a special Academy Award at age 6 and was presented with a miniature Oscar statuette for her outstanding contribution to screen entertainment. Temple and her movies were an escapist delight and a popular sensation. Mothers dressed their little girls like her, and a line of dolls that are now highly sought-after collectibles was launched. Her fans seemed interested in every last golden curl on her head. Her mother, Gertrude, was said to have done her hair for each movie, with every hairstyle having exactly 56 curls. Roosevelt once said: As long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right. When the spirit of the people is lower than at any other time during this Depression, it is a splendid thing that for just 15 cents, an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles. Temples mother worked to keep her daughter from being spoiled by fame and was a constant presence during filming. Temple said years later that her mother had been furious when a director once sent the mother off on an errand and then got the child to cry for a scene by frightening her. She never again left me alone on a set, Temple said. But Temple also suggested that in

some ways, she grew up too soon. She stopped believing in Santa Claus at age 6, she once said, when Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph. Decades later, her interest in politics brought her back into the spotlight. She made an unsuccessful bid for Congress as a Republican in 1967. After Richard Nixon became president in 1969, he appointed her a member of the U.S. delegation to the U.N. General Assembly. In the 1970s, she was U.S. ambassador to Ghana and later U.S. chief of protocol. A few months after she arrived in Prague in 1989, communist rule was overthrown in Czechoslovakia as the Iron Curtain collapsed across Eastern Europe. My main job (initially) was human rights, trying to keep people like future President Vaclav Havel out of jail, she said in a 1999 Associated Press interview. Within months, she was accompanying Havel, the former dissident playwright, when he came to Washington as his countrys new president. She considered her background in entertainment an asset to her political career. Politicians are actors too, dont you think? she once said. Usually if you like people and youre outgoing, not a shy little thing, you can do pretty well in politics. Born in Santa Monica, Calif., to an accountant and his wife, Temple had just turned 3 when she made her film debut in 1932 in the Baby Burlesks, a series of short films in which tiny performers parodied grown-up movies, sometimes with risque results.

WASHINGTON (AP) The House voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to restore full cost of living increases to pension benefits for younger military retirees, responding eagerly to election-year pressure from veterans groups. The Senate debated a similar bill as lawmakers hastened to reverse course on the most controversial cut contained in budget legislation approved less than two months ago. Approval of the measure was never in doubt in the House, where the final vote was 326-90. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., said the bill would protect the promises that this nation has made to our veterans. He called on Congress to care for those who have borne the battle and to send that message to all who can hear it. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., argued that overturning last years relatively modest change in pensions would eventually cause military readiness to erode as the Pentagon struggles to adjust to budget restrictions. Weve got to make some hard choices. This bill doesnt do it. It punts in every conceivable way, he said.

and Cheer! first gained her wide notice. Her appeal faded as quickly as it had emerged. She missed a shot at playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz when 20th Century Fox chief Darryl Zanuck refused to lend out his greatest asset; the part went to Judy Garland. And The Little Princess in 1939 and The Blue Bird in 1940 didnt draw big crowds, prompting Fox to let Temple go. Among her later films were The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, as a teen with a crush on Cary Grant, and Miss Annie Rooney which included her first on-screen kiss, bestowed by another maturing child star, Dickie Moore. After her film career ended, she concentrated on raising her family and turned to television to host and act in 16 specials called Shirley Temples Storybook on ABC. In 1960, she joined NBC and aired The Shirley Temple Show. In her 1988 autobiography, Child Star, she revealed some dark moments during an otherwise happy life and career: An MGM producer exposed himself to her when she was 12, and her first marriage, to actor John Agar, was ruined by his drinking and verbal abuse and ended in divorce in 1949. Meanwhile, her father squandered millions of dollars she earned from the movies. She married Black in 1950, and had two children, Lori and Charles. She also had a daughter, Susan, with her first husband. In 1972, she underwent surgery for breast cancer and was credited with opening up public discussion about the disease. She urged women to get checked by their doctors and vowed: I have much more to accomplish before I am through.

House Republicans back away from debt fight

WASHINGTON (AP) Unwilling to spook the markets and divided among themselves, House Republicans backed away from a battle over the governments debt limit Tuesday and permitted President Barack Obamas Democratic allies to drive quick passage of a measure extending Treasurys borrowing authority without any concessions from the White House. The 221-201 vote came hours after Speaker John Boehner announced that his fractured party would relent. Just 28 Republicans voted for the measure, including Boehner and his top lieutenants. But 193 Democrats more than compensated for the low support among Republicans. Senate Democrats hoped to vote on the legislation as early as today and send it to Obama for his signature. The move was denounced by many conservative groups but came after most Republicans in the House made clear they had no taste for another high-stakes fight with Obama over the nations debt ceiling, which must be raised so the government can borrow money to pay all of its bills. The bill would permit the Treasury Department to borrow normally for another 13 months, putting off the chance of a debt crisis well past the November elections and providing time for a newly elected Congress to decide how to handle the issue.

(Continued from page 1)

Here is Siebenecks statement as read: At this time, The Delphos Education Association has decided not to pursue Blizzard Bags. While there are definite advantages to schools wishing to implement this program, we feel that a Blizzard Bag policy is not the right course of action for the students, teachers, and staff of Delphos City Schools. We are potentially concerned about the implications of Blizzard Bags on student learning. The Delphos Education Association believes that there is no quality substitute for authentic interactions between students and teachers. We dont want to send a message to our students and our community that potentially undermines the importance of teachers and de-values the necessity of student attendance. In addition, we understand that educational needs vary from student to student; one-size-fits-all Blizzard Bag assignments may prevent all students from being successful. We also value the families in our community and recognize that not every household may have access to the technology, resources or family members able to help with assignments. However, the Delphos Education Association also realizes that state tests are approaching and we need to continue working with students despite this difficult winter. As of today, many of our teachers have already provided our students with reinforcement and enrichment activities designed to assist students with Ohio testing. These tailored learning opportunities will help our students cultivate independent skills at an appropriate, educational pace.

Answers to Mondays questions: The promise of a chicken in every pot, regularly attributed to a U.S. presidential campaign, actually originated with Frances King Henry IV (1553-1610). The 1960s band The Monkees was nicknamed the Prefab Four.
