Celebrate Recovery: Giving hope to the hopeless

BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor VAN WERT How does one help people get away from illegal drugs? That was the question considered by a group of Van Wert County residents. With well over half of court cases heard last year in the county being drug charges, the problem continued to get worse. Weve got to do something. We cant just put our heads in the sand and pretend its not there. Its a community issue. Its robbing us in all areas: kids, homes, economy-wise and these lives, said Rev. Paul Hamrick. Last spring, Jane Schmid, Cheryl Schaffner and Valerie Schoonover came to me to talk about the drug problem in our county and what we can do because it personally affects each one of us in one way or another. The result was the decision to begin a new program designed to help people in their struggles with addictions.

Telling The Tri-Countys Story Since 1869

HERALD
Delphos, Ohio
looked at the program is that it is a very effective program, There are 10,000 churches right now across the United States doing it. Were uniquely different, though. Most of them are very large churches and they are an individual church that does it. We are multiple ministries coming together, so we kind of put together a team. The ladies had come to me asking if we could do some things and figure out what we could work with. They started to look at the programs that were available. This seemed to be a good fit. We got a lot of help from Lima. Lima is a couple of years ahead of us. Its one of the few areas where the Catholic Church has one. In Lima, they have six to eight different churches across the city that have the program, but were the only one that is multi-church, multi-ministry. See RECOVERY, page 3

Pope to resign Kettering boy wins Ohio Has Talent! Feb. 28, says hes too infirm
Dear Brothers, I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in todays world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the barque of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is. Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer. been chosen, while white smoke means a pope has been elected. Popes are allowed to resign; church law specifies only that the resignation be freely made and properly manifested.

VATICAN CITY Pope Benedict XVI announced today that he would resign on Feb. 28 because he was simply too infirm to carry on the first pontiff to do so in nearly 600 years. The decision sets the stage for a conclave to elect a new pope before the end of March. The 85-year-old pope announced his decision in Latin during a meeting of Vatican cardinals this morning. Here is the text of his announcement, delivered to cardinals gathered for a ceremony to name three new saints. The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, who stepped down in 1415 in a deal to end the Great Western Schism among competing papal claimants. Benedict called his choice a decision of great importance for the life of the church. The move sets the stage for the Vatican to hold a conclave to elect a new pope by mid-March, since the traditional mourning time that would follow the death of a pope doesnt have to be observed. There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious front-runner the same situation when Benedict was elected pontiff in 2005 after the death of Pope John Paul II. When Benedict was elected pope at age 78 already the oldest pope elected in nearly 300 years he had been already planning to retire as the Vaticans chief orthodoxy watchdog to spend his final years writing in the peace and quiet of his native Bavaria. Contenders to be his successor include Cardinal Angelo Scola, archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna, and Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the Canadian head of the Vaticans office for bishops. Longshots include Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York. Although Dolan is popular and backs the popes conservative line, the general thinking is that the Catholic Church doesnt need a pope from a superpower. All cardinals under age 80 are allowed to vote in the conclave, the secret meeting held in the Sistine Chapel where cardinals cast ballots to elect a new pope. As per tradition, the ballots are burned after each voting round; black smoke that snakes out of the chimney means no pope has

Northeast returns to everyday routines after blizzard

The Associated Press NEWPORT, R.I. As electricity returns and highways reopen, some Northeast residents are getting back to their weekday routines following the massive snowstorm that had millions digging out from New York to Maine. But the routine for other New Englanders will be disrupted by school and workplace closings. For some theres also a new worry: the danger of roof collapses as rain and warmer weather melts snow. The storm that slammed into the region with up to 3 feet of snow was blamed for at least 15 deaths in the Northeast and Canada and brought some of the highest accumulations ever recorded. Still, coastal areas were

largely spared catastrophic damage despite being lashed by strong waves and hurricaneforce wind gusts at the height of the storm. Hundreds of people, their homes without heat or electricity, were forced to take refuge in emergency shelters set up in schools or other places. But by early today, outages had dropped to 149,970 more than 126,000 of them in Massachusetts.

After early start, worst of flu season may be over

By MIKE STOBBE The Associated Press NEW YORK The worst of the flu season appears to be over. The number of states reporting intense or widespread illnesses dropped again last week, and in a few states there was very little flu going around, U.S. health officials said Friday. The season started earlier than normal, first in the Southeast and then spreading. But now, by some measures, flu activity has been ebbing for at least four weeks in much of the country. Flu and pneumonia deaths also dropped the last two weeks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. Its likely that the worst of the current flu season is over, CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said. But flu is hard to predict, he and others stressed, and there have been spikes late in the season in the past. For now, states like Georgia and New York where doctors offices were jammed a few weeks ago are reporting low flu activity. The hot spots are now the West Coast and the Southwest. Among the places that have seen a drop: Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown, Pa., which put up a tent outside its emergency room last month to help deal with the steady stream of patients. There were about 100 patients each day back then. Now its down to 25 and the hospital may pack up its tent next week, said Terry Burger, director of infection control and prevention for the hospital. Theres no question that were seeing a decline, she said. In early December, CDC officials announced flu season had arrived, a month earlier than usual. They were worried, saying it had been nine years since a winter flu season started like this one. That was 2003-04 one of the deadliest seasons in the past 35 years, with more than 48,000 deaths. Like this year, the major flu strain was one that tends to make people sicker, especially the elderly, who are most vulnerable to flu and its complications But back then, that years flu vaccine wasnt made to protect against that bug, and fewer people got flu shots. The vaccine is reformulated almost every year, and the CDC has said this years vac-

cine is a good match to the types that are circulating. A preliminary CDC study showed it is about 60 percent effective, which is close to the average. So far, the season has been labeled moderately severe. Like others, Lehigh Valleys Burger was cautious about making predictions. Im not certain were completely out of the woods, with more wintry weather ahead and people likely to be packed indoors where flu can spread around, she said. The government does not keep a running tally of flurelated deaths in adults, but has received reports of 59 deaths in children. The most nine were in Texas, where flu activity was still high last week. Roughly 100 children die in an average flu season, the CDC says On average, about 24,000 Americans die each flu season, according to the CDC. According to the CDC report, the number of states with intense activity is down to 19, from 24 the previous week, and flu is widespread in 38 states, down from 42. Flu is now minimal in Florida, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

JEFFERSONVILLE (AP) Authorities say a woman is OK after driving her car off an interstate highway and into a freezing pond in central Ohio. Media reports said the woman drove off northbound Interstate 71 in Jeffersonville, between Columbus and Cincinnati, on Sunday night. The car went through a fence and into a large pond. The woman was able to get out of the car and swim to the side, eventually flagging down a motorist on I-71. She was treated at the scene. The womans name hasnt been released. Investigators were trying to determine what caused her to drive into the pond.

Ohio gas prices Junvenile facing still rising charges

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio gas prices are still rising. The average price for a gallon of regular gas in Ohio was about $3.57 in todays survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. Thats a nickel higher than a week ago. Prices have gone up 18 cents in the past two weeks in the Buckeye State. The state average is slightly under the national average of about $3.59, which is 7 cents higher than a week ago. The price in Ohio is about 29 cents higher than the same time last month. Experts say prices are continuing to rise because of solid economic recovery in China and the U.S. and other factors. The lowest average price in Ohio today was about $3.52 in the Dayton area.

CLEVELAND (AP) Repairs to a relatively new juvenile justice center in northeastern Ohio have cost taxpayers nearly $1 million.

Thats an average of more than eight requests a day, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The work included 126 sink repairs, 56 adjustments to the heating and cooling system, 19 calls for leaking pipes, 14 inspections of roof drains and 13 refrigerator fixes. And on 59 occasions, crews were summoned to hang pictures, clocks and other items on walls. Records show 91 hours spent on wall hangings, but do not assign a cost.

DAYTON (AP) Police in Dayton say officers fatally shot a man who leveled a semi-automatic rifle at them in a city park. Police Chief Richard Biehl said officers killed the 34-year-old man Sunday night in Island MetroPark. Biehl said it started when police got reports of a man carrying a gun near the park. When two officers arrived, the man leveled the rifle at them and both fired their handguns. Its not clear how many shots were fired. The man who never fired his rifle died later at a hospital. His name hasnt been released yet.

Victim reports money missing from wallet

At 4:56 p.m. on Thursday, Delphos Police were called to the 1100 block of North Washington Street in reference to an unruly juvenile at that location. Upon officers arrival, the parent of the juvenile stated that after an argument had occurred, the juvenile left the residence even though the juvenile was told not to leave by the parent. Approximately an hour later, officers located the juvenile on the other side of town and took the juvenile into custody. The juvenile was returned and released to the parent with charges being filed into Allen County Juvenile Court on the juvenile as an ungovernable juvenile.

At 10:25 a.m. on Friday, Delphos Police were called to the 600 block of West First Street in reference to a theft complaint. Upon officers speaking with the victim it was found the victim and several people known to them had went to to a local establishment together. Upon all the subjects returning to the residence, the victim stated he feel asleep with the other subjects still present. The victim said when he awoke, he found that someone had gone into his wallet and taken a large amount of money from inside it.

Recovery

STATE/LOCAL
allowing other addictions besides drugs to be discussed. Celebrate Recovery has many fans in the area, including Van Wert County Common Pleas Court Judge Charles D. Steele. Judge Steele was excited because, one, it doesnt cost people anything, so we dont charge, plus it is Christ-based. It is a very scripture-based program. We are unashamedly upfront about it; it is. Our higher power is Jesus Christ; there is no question about that, declared Hamrick. Schmid added, Judge Steele is very much on board with it. He knows we know that it cant be court-ordered, but it is an option that they give to people who are struggling and in trouble with the court. In less than nine months of meetings, Celebrate Recovery has caught on. Hamrick stated that the group working with the program have successfully made it a loving community a safe place. Were excited about it. Its really starting to grow, he smiled. Im sad to say that in our community there are always new people. That is not stopping. The judge was wanting something that would help people as a program that will help them when they get out of jail or they are in the process of starting to put some things back together. We have accountability groups that teach them how to deal, not just with the addiction, but the reason why they have the addiction. The focus of the program is hurts, hangups, and habits, and how those things cause us problems. So its not just an addiction program. They have programs in different parts of the country for overeating, sexual addictions, anxiety, and anger issues. We concentrate more on the drug issue because thats where we are getting started, but we are wanting to, as we get more leadership, to go beyond that. Programs for other groups are on the horizon. Almost ready is a program for children, ages 5-12, called Celebration Station, It helps kids deal with parents struggling with drug issues. A similar program for teens, called The Landing, is also in the works. This will not only feature help for teens dealing with addictions in family members but also their own addictions. We believe the answer is in finding a community where they can be accepted and helped along the way. Most people dont want addicts around but they are part of our community, and a growing part of our community, noted Hamrick. Were excited about expanding. Ive got some great ladies and men who are working with it. I just feel honored for what they have and what they bring to the table. Celebrate Recovery works through a number of different churches. Leadership in the program comes from a variety of ministries and more volunteers are always being sought. Donations also are welcome. Hamrick pointed out that donations can be tax-deductible and training is ready for anyone wanting to join up. Often the recovery process is very slow, but Hamrick said it is very worthwhile. Some days its two steps forward and three steps back, but its a success to see some of these people put their families back together, their lives back together, he commented. Were starting to see it grow and its a lot of work. The investment of time is great. Youve got to commit to this for a year, about six hours a week. For a community with a drug problem, Hamrick, Schmid, Schaffner and Schoonover, along with many other volunteers are looking to offer a helping hand to those who are struggling. Hamrick summarized, Were trying, with a Christian base, to deal with an issue that is sucking the life out of our community and also give these people some hope.

(Continued from page 1)

The program is a 12-step program that is based on the Bible. The program organizers say they do not try to hide the religious aspect but at the same time they welcome anyone who wants to take part. We say we are a 12-step, and we are like other 12-steps in certain ways but we are not like them in some ways and that is the difference, shared Schaffner. Jesus Christ is the higher power; the Big Book [Bible] is what we are going to encourage you to read and study and learn from. You are welcome to be here. Were not going to try to bang the Bible onto your brain and turn you into something you are not but you are certainly safe and welcome to be here and you can engage in the very 12 steps they are doing in AA with their biblical comparisons, along with eight principles that are biblically-based. They find a comfort place there. In a short amount of time, Celebrate Recovery has made a difference in the lives of many people struggling with drug addictions. The main time together is the two-hour open meeting on Thursday nights. Schmid explained, The format of Thursday night is praise and worship, teaching or testimony, and then an open share group. The last hour is men and women meeting in small groups to ask questions and share. Besides the major group meeting, those attending are also urged to become a part of a Step Study. Its where we work through four participant guides. If a person is serious about their recovery, theyll be in this small accountability group and work through these. It takes about a year but thats important for recovery, not just the big group on Thursday nights, but also this, said Schmid. Discussion groups are divided by gender,

ambulance to a hospital after the medical equipment he relies on failed when the power went out and he had difficulty breathing. The police, the fire department, the state, the Red Cross, the volunteers, it really worked well, said the retired radio broadcaster and Army veteran. Driving bans were lifted and flights resumed at major airports in the region that had closed during the storm, though many flights were still canceled Sunday. Public transit schedules were being restored. The Boston-area public transportation system, which shut down on Friday afternoon, resumed full service today but told commuters to expect delays. The MetroNorth Railroad resumed most train service on its New York and Connecticut routes while the Long Island Rail Road said commuters could expect a nearly normal schedule. Some public schools canceled classes today, including in Boston, Providence and on Long Island, while local governments in some areas told non-essential workers to take the day off. On eastern Long Island, the harrowing images from New Yorks slice of the massive snowstorm people stranded overnight, cars abandoned on long stretches of drift-covered highways were slowly erased Sunday as hundreds of snow-

plows and heavy equipment descended to try to help clear the way for todays commute. Long Island was slammed with as much as 30 inches of snow, which shut down roads, including the Long Island Expressway. A 27-mile stretch of the road was closed Sunday and but the roadway reopened today in time for the morning commute. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said more than a third of all the states snow-removal equipment was sent to the area, including more than 400 plow trucks and more than 100 snowblowers, loaders and backhoes. The massive amount of snow left behind effectively shut down the entire region, Cuomo said. Utility crews, some brought in from as far away as Georgia, Oklahoma and Quebec, raced to restore power. By early today, less than 150,000 customers still had no electricity down from 650,000 in eight states at the height of the storm. In hardesthit Massachusetts, officials said some of the outages might linger until Tuesday. Boston recorded 24.9 inches of snow, making it the fifthlargest storm in the city since records were kept. The city was appealing to the state and private contractors for more frontend loaders and other heavy equipment to clear snow piles that were clogging residential streets.

existence of two popes even when one has stepped down lead to divisions and instability in the church? Might a new resignation precedent lead to pressures on future popes to quit at the slightest hint of infirmity? Benedict himself raised the possibility of resigning if he were simply too old or sick to continue on in 2010, when he was interviewed for the book Light of the World. If a pope clearly realizes that he is no longer physically, psychologically and spiritually capable of handling the duties of his office, then he

has a right, and under some circumstances, also an obligation to resign, Benedict said. The former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had an intimate view as Pope John Paul II, with whom he had worked closely for nearly a quartercentury, suffered through the debilitating end of his papacy.

Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing. Sylvia Plath (1932-1963)

Rubio on rise within GOP

By KEN THOMAS The Associated Press WASHINGTON Marco Rubio is taking center stage as Republicans search for a new leader. In the nearly 100 days since President Barack Obama won a second term, the Florida senator has made calculated, concrete steps to emerge as a next-generation leader of a rudderless party, put a 21stcentury stamp on the conservative movement and potentially position himself for a presidential run. The bilingual Cuban-American lawmaker has become Republicans point person on immigration and he pitches economic solutions for middle-class workers. He is an evangelist for a modern, inclusive party that welcomes more Hispanics and minorities, but says Republicans must stay true to their principles. In a way, hes trying to save us from ourselves, says Al Cardenas, the chairman of the American Conservative Union who gave Rubio his first job in politics, as a South Florida field staffer during Kansas Sen. Bob Doles 1996 presidential campaign. He gives us comfort against the naysayers who say we need to change our basic beliefs to attract a wider audience. Rubio will give the Republican response to Obamas State of the Union address Tuesday. Rubio advisers say his rebuttal will offer economic prescriptions for a sluggish economy and try to counter what they call Obamas government-centered economic approach. The speech comes as demand for the 41-year-old son of immigrants has soared and the party has tried to recover from significant electoral losses and map out a path ahead. Call it the it factor. Time magazine just splashed Rubio on its cover, anointing him The Republican Savior. Rubio, a Catholic, responded on Twitter: There is only one savior, and it is not me. (hash)Jesus. He shrugged off the label during an interview with The Associated Press: I didnt write the cover. I wouldnt have said it if I wrote it. There are no saviors in politics, he said. The former Florida House speaker has been on a Republican rocket ship since 2010, when he knocked off Gov. Charlie Crist in a Senate race that showed the tea partys clout. He introduced presidential nominee Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention last year and attended dozens of rallies and fundraisers for the GOP ticket during the campaign. His rise draws comparisons to Obama, who moved from Illinois senator-elect to Democratic presidential nominee within four years. Both win accolades for their oratory skills and sought a lower profile at the start of their Senate careers. Like Obama did for the Democrats, Rubio evokes a new generation for Republicans, as comfortable talking about hip-hop music as health care. In a recent interview with the online news organization BuzzFeed, he discussed at length the rap music of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., something that would have been unimaginable coming from Romney. Since Novembers pummeling, Rubio has taken a series of public and private steps to raise his already high profile and create the political, organizational and message framework hed need should he decide to seek the White House.

Those words, uttered impatiently with just a soupcon of anger, came in response to Sen. Ron Johnsons question about what the administration knew and when. Specifically, he asked why the administration sent U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice around to Sunday talk shows with talking points that we now know were clearly incorrect. Recall that Rice repeated the operative narrative that the attacks in Benghazi were caused by a spontaneous protest gone awry about an antiMuhammad video. While there was such a protest at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, nothing of the sort happened in Benghazi. The attacks two of them six hours apart were a premeditated assault, now widely referred to as a terrorist attack by an al-Qaeda affiliate, which may or

Senator vows to delay Obamas nominees over Libya

WASHINGTON (AP) A leading Republican senator said Sunday he would hold up Senate confirmation of President Barack Obamas nominees to head the Pentagon and the CIA until the White House provided more answers about the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. installation in Benghazi, Libya. The White House took aim at South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a persistent critic of Obamas response to the terrorist assault, by urging quick approval of the presidents second-term national security team and scolding any lawmakers trying to play politics with critical nominations. Graham accused the White House of stonewalling requests to release more information about the attack that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. Were going to get to the bottom of Benghazi, he told CBS Face the Nation. A Democratic colleague branded Grahams threat to stall the nominations of former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., to be defense secretary and John Brennan, Obamas top counterterrorism adviser, to be CIA director as unprecedented and unwarranted. Senators should have the chance to vote on the fate of those nominees, said Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island. The White House did not address Grahams demand for more information, but did note that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified Thursday before Congress about the chaotic day of the Sept. 11 attack. In January Graham had signaled he would delay Brennans pick and told Fox News he would absolutely block Hagel unless Panetta and Dempsey testified about the Benghazi attack. The senator said he was happy as a clam when he learned the hearing with Panetta and Dempsey had been scheduled. Republicans have accused the Obama administration of an election-year cover-up of the attack and at the hearing several suggested the commander in chief was disengaged as Americans died. We know nothing about what the president did on the night of September 11th during a time of national crisis, and

The ghosts of Benghazi

Point of View

the American people need to know what their commander in chief did, if anything, during this eight-hour attack, Graham said on CBS. Graham contended that a six-person rescue team was delayed from leaving the Benghazi airport because of problems with the militias releasing them and a lot of bureaucratic snafus, and he said he wants to know whether Obama called any Libyan officials to expedite their mission. I dont think we should allow Brennan to go forward for the CIA directorship, Hagel to be confirmed to secretary of defense until the White House gives us an accounting, Graham said, adding, What did he do that night? Thats not unfair. The families need to know, the American people need to know. Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the White Houses National Security Council, said, We believe the Senate should act swiftly to confirm John Brennan and Sen. Hagel. These are critical national security positions and individual members shouldnt play politics with their nominations.

Moderately confused

may not be confirmable. Isnt every wannabe terrorist part of an al-Qaeda affiliate these days? To the point, was the White Houses response deliberately misleading? Or, was Rice merely regurgitating what she had been told, using the bestavailable information? Clintons huffy response during testimony that was otherwise measured and cool was likely intended to put a lid on this can of worms: With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided theyd they go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make? Well, it all makes quite a bit of difference, though inarguably less now than it might have just weeks before the November election. Clintons response was so loaded with explosive potential, its a mystery why no one on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee attempted to provide an answer. Apparently, Johnson and his Republican colleagues were so hornswoggled by Clintons irritation that no one wanted to

is the possibility that those four American lives might have been saved. More prosaically, it is very possible that President Obamas reelection might not have been assured had possible incompetence at the highest levels been highlighted sooner rather than now. Americans got a clearer picture of what transpired last Sept. 11 during testimony Thursday by retiring Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Appearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Panetta said he personally delivered the news to Obama that the consulate was under attack during a 30-minute briefing that also included Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The president said, Do whatever you need to do to be able to protect our people there, and that was that. He and Panetta didnt speak again that night and neither Dempsey nor Panetta spoke to Clinton at all. Under questioning by Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., Panetta added that the president didnt ask about military options or deploying assets. He just left that up to us, said Panetta. As chief executive, Obama may have felt he delegated appropriately. Let the military handle it. But he is also the commander in chief. When our ambassador is being attacked, our country is being attacked. Should he have

done more? Might he have made a call to Stevens or someone else on the ground? Obama didnt hesitate to call Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke two days after she was attacked on-air by radio host Rush Limbaugh. As Fluke reported, the president wanted to make sure that I was OK. Two days after would have been too late for Stevens, of course, but one is a real-war theater and the other merely political. To each his own arena. To Clintons query conceding the unfair advantage of Monday morning quarterbacking it is just and necessary to fill in the holes left gaping in Benghazi. Ultimately, the real truth may be, as one current ambassador put it to me, Bad things happen in bad places. Does it make any difference how or why four Americans were murdered in Libya? My guess is Ambassador Stevens would say that it does.

Lady Green smother Blue Jays

SPORTS

By JIM METCALFE

DELPHOS Ottovilles girls hardwood unit brought its top ranking in Division IV into Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium Saturday night for the annual non-conference archrivalry game versus St. Johns. The Lady Green didnt disappoint, smothering the Lady Blue Jays 42-18 to spoil the Jays Senior Parents Night. Their defense does make things tough on you but for me, we missed some easy shots early on that we need to make. If we made them, who knows how different it might have gone, Jays mentor Dan J. Grothouse noted. We knew coming in we werent going to get a lot going inside, so we had to hit some shots from the outside to have a chance. However, when we missed early, that hurts our confidence and their defense upped its intensity as the game wore on. Senior Abby Siefker added the 1,000-rebound milestone to her 1,000-pointer from earlier this season this night, gathering another doubledouble: 22 markers and 14 boards, to go with four blocks and three steals; to pace the Lady Green (20-0). I like getting the 1,000 rebounds more than the points; it means more as far as being determined. I knew I was getting close, Siefker said. This is also a big game for us, so its even more special. Now we can get ready to make a long run in the tournament, which is what weve been striving for four years. We joke with Abby that she has played with enough girls to shoot and miss a lot so she can rebound, Ottoville mentor Dave Kleman joked. She is the first 1,000-rebound player weve ever had in the girls, which is surprising since weve had some great post players, and I believe shes the first period for boys or girls. Shes been doing this for all four years; its an amazing player to average a double-double as a freshman. The other three seniors may be overshadowed by her but she is also quick to give them credit because she cant do it alone. Ottoville also held the Jays (8-12) to 4-of-29 shooting, including 1-of-16 downtown, for 13.8 percent. Senior Jessica Recker led

St. Johns Erica Saine could do nothing to prevent Ottoville senior Abby Siefker from collecting the 1,000th rebound of her varsity career during the first quarter of their teams cage tussle Saturday night at Arnzen Gymnasium.

Rebounding lifts Redskins over Cougs By JIM COX DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com ST. HENRY - A 31-15 rebounding deficit proved to be too much for Van Wert Saturday night, as a big, strong St. Henry team held off the feisty Cougars 57-43. The Redskins, ranked 6th in Ohio in Division IV, are now 17-3. Van Van Wert is 9-10. This one was, as they say, a lot closer than the final score indicated. An impressive third quarter by the Cougars had closed the gap from 27-16 to 35-34 but St. Henrys Jordan Bender beat the horn with a swisher from the right corner, then sank the and-1, as his 4-point play made it 39-34 after three. Bender then started the fourth quarter with an 8-foot runner that circled the rim a couple of times before dropping in to stretch the lead to 41-34. The Redskins 6-6 allstate quarterback Kyle Stahl then stuck in a putback to make it 43-34. Shortly thereafter, the game became a St. Henry parade to the freethrow line, which, on this night, was a losing proposition for Van Wert. The Redskins hit 11-of-12 free-

bies in the last eight minutes to win going away. Things looked bleak for the visitors in the first quarter, with Stahl scoring eight points on two free throws, two putbacks and a nifty spinning layup. Van Werts AJ Smith managed to keep the Cougs within striking distance with an open layup (assist Connor Holliday), a straightaway 17-footer and 10-foot turnaround jumper. The Redskins Tyler Schwieterman rattled in a trey from the left wing at the buzzer to lead 15-9. The St. Henry run stretched to 8-0 at the start of the second period as Stahl slung in a 15-foot baseliner and 6-5 point guard Ryan Mikesell made a 3-point play on a backdoor cut-and-1 20-9, St. Henry at 5:46. Smith countered with a triple from out in front and a twisting layup to cut the gap to 20-14 but the hosts ended the half on a 7-2 run to lead 27-16. Van Wert played a dandy third quarter, although Smith and point guard Joey Hurless missed much of it with three fouls as did Stahl. The Cougs got some excellent team defense as well as some offensive production from Holliday, Caleb Markward, Kyle Keber and Matt Bidlack to get right back into it before Benders buzzer-beating 4-point play turned it around. Defensively, we knew we were gonna have problems in the low post with Stahl, said Van Wert coach Dave Froelich. Overall, after we got started, I thought we did a better job as the game progressed. Mikesells a tough match, a 6-5 point guard. We wanted to try to pressure him but he can look over the top. They were gonna be in the 40s until we had to foul at the end thats a solid effort. See ROUNDUP, page 8

SPENCERVILLE Spencervilles girls basketball team did just enough offensively Saturday afternoon, subduing visiting Perry 58-46 in non-league action at Spencerville High School. Despite foul trouble, the Lady Bearcats (3-17) were led by a duo of sophomores Schylar Miller with 13 and senior Alyssa Mulholland with 12. The Lady Commodores (6-15), who also had their share of foul woes, were topped by 6-2 junior Lexie Davis with 16 markers and 18 boards; 16 counters by Courtland Fowler and 12 from Abbie Patton. Both teams struggled shooting the ball: Spencerville canned 20-of-51 attempts (4-of-12 3-balls) for 37.3 percent and 14-of-27 at the line (51.9%) versus Perrys chilly 14-of-55 tries from the floor (1-of-9 beyond the arc) for 25.5 percent and 17-of-33 freebies (51.5%). We worked really hard on free throws early in the season but lately, we stopped; we hadnt been getting to the line too many times, so we had some other areas we needed to address, so we focused on them, Spencerville coach Warren Pughlsey explained. We got to the line a lot today and we just werent comfortable. Thats a different kind of pressure, so well go back to working on them. For Perry coach Herb Lane, its the same old song. We work on them every day and were still around 50 percent. We dont capitalize on those opportunities and its costly, he explained. We just couldnt quite get over the hump; we kept battling but we just couldnt finish. I thought Courtland had a great game on her birthday. There was two lead changes and one tie early in the game, with the Bearcats taking the lead for good at 7-6 on a free throw by sophomore Katie Merriman (6 boards, 5 thefts) at 2:14. Mulholland hit four straight free tosses in the final 2:01 to give the Lady Bearcats an 11-6 edge, Fouls began to pile up for both squads Spencerville had 25 for the game versus 20 for the Lady Commodores in the second period. The hosts led by as much as nine 16-7 on a 3-ball by Mulholland (4 steals) at 6:55. The Commodores rallied the remainder of the period to get within 27-26 on a baseline drive by Fowler with 1:30 showing. The start of the third period was the key for the game. In the first 3:30, the hosts outscored their foe 14-0, with

Miller (5 assists) coming around for eight of the points. Perry missed four shots and two free throws and turned it over five times (26 total vs. 24 for the hosts) as the hosts built their lead to 41-26 on Millers deuce at 4:50. Once again, Perry tried to retaliate and did get as close as 43-35 on a steal and layin by Patton with 53 ticks on the board. Perry needed to keep the momentum going into the fourth period to have a chance; however, it didnt happen. By the time they scored again at 5:22, they trailed 47-37. Spencerville didnt exactly apply the knockout blow but neither could Perry get within striking distance as both teams struggled from the foul line, combining for 11-of-25 in the fourth. In sum, Perry gathered 46 boards, 20 offensive, as Alexis Young nabbed 10 and Patton eight, along with five assists. They finish the regular season versus Vanlue Thursday. Spencerville attracted 41 caroms, 14 offensive, as freshman Caitlyn Probst secured 12. They host Lima Central Catholic Tuesday. We had it and then tried to give it away. When you dont play with the lead much, it can be hard to learn how to put a team away, Pughsley added. We played well to build the lead but didnt quite put them away when we had the chance; we just did enough. In one half of junior varsity action, Spencerville won 24-9. Sophomore Shania Johnson led the victors with eight. Kaitlyn Cox topped the Lady Commodores with five.

COLLEGE CAGE ROUNDUP

By RUSTY MILLER The Associated Press COLUMBUS After a stunning loss, the Indiana Hoosiers were on a mission to reaffirm just how good they were. There was no questioning their ability Sunday. Victor Oladipo scored a career-high 26 points, Cody Zeller added 24 and Christian Watford 20 to lead No. 1 Indiana back from a demoralizing loss to a huge road win in beating No. 10 Ohio State 81-68. The Hoosiers (21-3, 9-2 Big Ten) dominated the second half while making some history and staying in the thick of the Big Ten race. The Hoosiers were coming off an epic collapse that might have caused the undoing of many teams. The Illini went on a 13-2 run to close the game, with Indiana turning the ball over late and then allowing an uncontested layup at the buzzer of a 74-72 shocker. Less than three days later, they more than rebounded with a signature win in hostile territory. The victory was Indianas first against a Top-10 conference opponent on the road in more than 20 years since a win in 1993 at Iowa. It was also the Hoosiers first win against any team in the top 10 on the road since beating Notre Dame in 2000. From the very beginning

after we lost the other night, the biggest thing for our team was we were not going to spend a lot of our time worrying about bouncing back, coach Tom Crean said. Im proud of the way these guys responded from a very tough loss. Indiana, now 3-0 against Top-10 teams this year, stayed in lock step with the leaders in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers are now tied with Michigan State (9-2) in the Big Ten standings. Michigan and Wisconsin are next at 8-3, followed by Ohio State at 7-4. The Hoosiers shot 53 percent from the field, the highest by any Ohio State opponent this season. They did it by pounding the ball to Zeller down low, or hitting open jumpers when they got them. They seldom settled for a quick shot, instead patiently waiting until they could find a teammate who had an even better look. The Hoosiers mostly their triumvirate of Oladipo, Zeller and Watford always seemed to come up with a big play when most needed. Ohio State trailed 43-39 after Deshaun Thomas, an Indiana native and the Big Ten scoring leader who finished with 26 points, hit all three attempts after he was fouled behind the arc by Yogi Ferrell, the Hoosiers freshman point guard, who went to the bench with his third foul. But Oladipo spun and hit a See COLLEGE, page 7

Hot-shooting Musketeers repel Jefferson

Roundup

DELPHOS Fort Jennings used a strong first period Saturday night at The Stage, outscoring host Jefferson 18-8 in the span. The Musketeers then held on the rest of the way, securing a 60-51 non-league boys hardwood triumph over the Wildcats. Freshman Trey Smith earned his first varsity double-double with 15 markers and 11 rebounds, while senior Zach Ricker netted 15 points. Junior Austyin Jettinghoff added 10. We started off slowly, which young teams sometimes do. Plus, we had a game the night before and Jennings didnt; most coaches will tell you thats a concern in that situation, Jefferson coach Marc Smith noted. That was the entire focus of our pregame; get off to a quick start. We kept battling back but they hit a 3 to close the half for a 7-point game. They built it back up to double digits but we closed within three by the 4-minute mark of the fourth quarter. From then on, it was a 1- or 2-possession game until we had to start fouling in the last 30 seconds. The Wildcats began to rally in the second period but could on;y get within 29-22 by the end of the half. We got off quickly and we played better for the entire game when we do so. Im not sure why, Fort Jennings mentor John Von Sossan said. Were much better when our seniors: Kurt Warnecke (16 markers) and Brandon Kohli (14); play well but thats to be expected. When Chad (Recker) got hurt earlier this year, that was devastating to a team that didnt have a lot of depth.

They concluded with 25 caroms (4 offensive), eight errors and 19 fouls. Nick Von Sossan hit four bombs on his way to 16 counters for the visitors. Our shooting has been much better the last 12-13 games. In that span, the least weve shot was 42 percent; every game has been there or above, Von Sossan added. Again, its part of our learning process. For us, it comes down to us not getting enough shots to take advantage of our improved shooting. Turnovers werent a problem tonight but they have been. We also played a team that is in the same boat as us, with injuries, a lack of depth and a lot of youth and inexperience. Weve both been struggling. Jefferson returns to action Friday at Bluffton and Fort Jennings visits PandoraGilboa Saturday.

The Associated Press COLLEGE BASKETBALL Wisconsins tying half-court heave went in, of course. Then Kansas lost again. And in case you were asleep late Saturday night, Notre Dame rallied past Louisville in five overtimes. March Madness is weeks away but February Frenzy is already in full swing. Six more Top 25 teams went down Saturday, including two of the top five. When the next Associated Press poll comes out today, it likely will have a new No. 1 for the sixth straight week marking the second-longest such streak since the first rankings in 1949. Fourth-ranked Duke overcame early and late deficits to beat Boston College 62-61 on Sunday night but seventh-ranked Arizona lost 77-69 to California and Illinois made 11 3-pointers in a 57-53 victory at No. 18 Minnesota. That made it six top-10 teams and 14 in the Top 25 overall with at least one loss since the poll came out last Monday. PATERNO STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Joe Paternos family released its response to Penn States report on the Jerry Sandusky scandal Sunday, attacking Louis Freehs conclusion that the coach hid sex abuse allegations against his longtime assistant. In a report commissioned by the family, former U.S. Attorney General and Pennsylvania Gov. Dick Thornburgh said the investigation by former FBI director Freeh resulted in a rush to injustice. That report, authorized by the university, found Paterno and three former administrators covered up child sexual abuse allegations against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Those findings last July were unsupported by the facts, read the family critique released. Months in the making, the report was billed as an independent analysis of the work by Freeh, who defended his report Sunday. TENNIS VINA DEL MAR, Chile Rafael Nadal lost the singles and doubles finals at the VTR Open on Sunday in a disappointing finish to his comeback tournament after being sidelined for seven months with a left knee injury. Nadal was beaten by Argentinas Horacio Zeballos in three sets in the singles final. Then, Nadal and partner Juan Monaco lost 6-2, 6-4 in the doubles championship against the Italian pair of Paolo Lorenzi and

SPORTS BRIEFS

Potito Starace. Nadal was an overwhelming favorite, particularly in singles where he was shooting for this 37th singles title on clay. But Zeballos won 6-7 (2), 7-6 (6), 6-4 for his first title on any surface, looking every bit the equal of the 7-time French Open champion. It was only the fifth loss for Nadal in a singles final on clay. RIMINI, Italy The United States was eliminated in the first round of the Fed Cup, losing to Italy 3-2 Sunday when Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci defeated Varvara Lepchenko and Liezel Huber in the decisive doubles match. Errani and Vinci, the topranked doubles team, won 6-2, 6-2 against an under-strength American team. The U.S. was without Serena and Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens because of injuries. GOLF PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. Brandt Snedeker didnt have to take a back seat to anyone at Pebble Beach. A runner-up to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson the last two weeks, Snedeker finished off a command performance Sunday with a 7-under 65 for a 2-shot victory over Chris Kirk in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Snedeker tapped in for par on the 18th hole to finish at 19-under 267, setting the tournament record at Pebble Beach. Kirk closed with a 64, though he never got closer than two shots. James Hahn, tied with Snedeker to start the final round, had a 68 and tied for third. BASEBALL FORT MYERS, Fla. Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said outfield prospect Bryce Brentz accidentally shot himself in the leg last month but could recover in time to play in spring training. Cherington said Saturday that Brentz was cleaning the gun went it went off. The bullet passed through Brentzs left leg. Cherington said Brentz wasnt doing anything illegal. The GM added the team had talked to the 24-year-old about the accident. Brentz was a first-round draft pick by the Red Sox in 2010. He hit a combined .290 with 17 home runs and 76 RBIs last season in Double-A and Triple-A. CLEVELAND The Cleveland Indians signed first baseman-designated hitter Jason Giambi to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.

12-footer in the lane and then tossed in a 3 from the right wing to push the lead to nine points. Each time the Buckeyes would come up with a basket or defensive stop, Indiana would counter. Watfords 3 with 9:24 left made it 62-46 and completely deflated a capacity crowd of 18,809. After Ohio States LaQuinton Ross, who had 11 points, got a bucket in traffic, Watford flipped in another 3 for a 67-54 lead. Ohio State got as close as eight points in the final minute but this time the Hoosiers would not collapse. Oladipo closed out the game with four free throws for his career best. Aaron Craft added 16 points for Ohio State (176, 7-4) which dropped two games back of the Big Ten leaders with seven games left, severely crimping their chances of extending their string of three years with at least a share of the conference title. The nations longest run of avoiding a losing streak also ended. Ohio State had gone 121 games without losing back-to-back outings. Wed guard and theyd throw it down and (Zeller) was just finishing, Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said. We couldnt gain that momentum. Unfortunately we didnt guard them at the level we needed to in terms of what they were doing.

Roundup

(Continued from Page 7A)

The Indians announced the signing Saturday, six days ahead of the teams first fullsquad workout. The 42-year-old Giambi spent the past 3-plus seasons filling a part-time role with the Rockies. The 2000 AL MVP was a mentor to younger players and he interviewed for Colorados managerial position this offseason. Also, with at least one spot open in his rotation, new Indians manager Terry Francona will give Japanese right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka a shot at winning a starting job. Matsuzaka agreed to a minor-league contract with Cleveland. Matsuzaka, who pitched for Francona with the Boston Red Sox, must pass a physical for the deal to be finalized. PRO FOOTBALL METAIRIE, La. The Saints hired Rob Ryan as their new defensive coordinator and added Stan Kwan as an assistant special teams coach. Saints coach Sean Payton, who announced the additions to his staff on Saturday, said the Saints found Ryans defenses challenging when they played his previous teams. In 2010, Ryan was Clevelands defensive coordinator when the Browns beat the Saints in the Superdome 30-17, intercepting passes by Drew Brees four times. Ryan, the brother of Jets coach Rex Ryan, spent the past two seasons as Dallas defensive coordinator and was fired after last season, when his defense ranked 19th. MIAMI The Miami Dolphins agreed to a local referendum on their plan seeking tax money for an upgrade of their stadium, a person familiar with the discussions said Sunday. The Dolphins believe passage by Miami-Dade County voters would help the chance of the plans approval by the Florida Legislature, the person told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team declined to comment.

SKIING The surgeon who operated on Lindsey Vonns right knee was optimistic for a full recovery after she shredded two ligaments during a crash last week at the world championships in Schladming, Austria. She also broke a bone in her lower leg. Dr. Bill Sterett, a physician for the U.S. Ski Team, performed the procedure on the 4-time overall World Cup champion Sunday morning in Vail, Colo. In a release issued by the ski team, Sterett said the surgery went well and that she was resting comfortably. PRO BASKETBALL ATHENS, Greece The Greek Cup basketball final was struck by violence Sunday, with fans storming the court and tearing seats apart and police using stun grenades to contain the mayhem. The game was suspended for an hour before Panathinaikos defeated archrival Olympiakos 81-78 in front of nearly empty stands. The trouble began with 7:03 left in the second quarter and Panathinaikos leading 26-17. Panathinaikos Stefan Lasme tangled with Pero Antic under the basket and head-butted his opponent, drawing a technical foul. Olympiakos fans responded by throwing objects onto the court, with one hitting Panathinaikos Greek-American guard Mike Bramos, who was on the bench. Fans then ran onto the court and exchanged blows, forcing riot police to intervene at one point using the stun grenades. SOCCER LONDON Paul Gascoigne is recovering in a hospital in the United States after reacting badly to a detox program in his battle to beat alcoholism, according to people close to the former England midfielder. Gascoigne, who starred in the 1990 World Cup, flew to Arizona this week to receive treatment for alcohol addiction after a relapse. His life isnt believed to be at risk.

Raiders win OT thriller over Knights By BRIAN BASSETT DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com HAVILAND It was all it was billed up to be. Two very good rival basketball teams. Two very devoted fan bases and student sections. And even four extra minutes to enjoy it. Wayne Trace and Crestview hooked up in a classic high school basketball team Saturday night at The Palace and traded runs, great plays, physical plays and strategic changes. However, when the final buzzer rang after 36 minutes, it was the host Raiders that avenged an early-season loss with a 56-55 thrilling overtime win over the Knights. The game was the 51st meeting between the two schools, with Crestview now holding a 26-25 advantage in the series. It was a game that neither team should have had to lose but both coaches knew that playing in a game like that could be a big benefit to a tournament run. It was a tournament-style atmosphere between two good rivals, commented Crestview head coach Jeremy Best. Both teams made runs and both teams made plays at different times. Its a game, though, that prepares you for tournament and that is why we like to play in games like this. You couldnt ask for a better game, noted Wayne Trace

mentor Jim Linder. We know when we play Crestview that it is going to be a battle. They have a great tradition and we both have tremendous fan bases that have passion about the game and supporting their teams. Tied at 50-50 entering the extra session, the Knights went on top first when Cam Etzler hit one of two free throws with 2:01 left. Wayne Traces Dalton Sinn quickly answered, hitting a trey with 1:50 left to put the Raiders up 53-51. Crestview freshman Connor Lautzenheiser then stepped up for the Knights. After missing a trey, the Knight frosh followed his shot and got the offensive rebound and was fouled going to the basket. He calmly sank both free throws with 1:09 left to knot the score at 53-53. However, Lautzenheiser wasnt done. The freshman picked up a steal and drove for a layup with 46 seconds remaining to put Crestview back on top 55-53 with 46 seconds left. Then the Raiders went back to Sinn. The senior guard stepped up and connected on his third trey of the game at the 16-second mark to give Wayne Trace a 56-55 advantage. Crestview would get one more opportunity. After a timeout, Lautzenheisers 3-point attempt was blocked by Colby Speice. Etzler picked up the offensive rebound but a Speice steal forced Crestview to foul the Raider junior with 0.6 seconds left in the contest. Although Speice missed both foul shots, a desperation heave by the Knights was off the mark. Wayne Trace was thankful to even get into overtime and wouldnt have had the chance to win in the extra session without senior Nick McClain. Tied at 50-50, the Knights nearly stole the game as Crestviews Alec Heffner stole an inbounds pass and appeared to have a clear path for a layup. However, McClain came from the side to block Heffners layup attempt out of bounds. McClain then blocked a Tyson Bolenbaugh attempt as time expired to send the game into an extra period. The contest went back and forth throughout the night. Wayne Trace held a slim 13-12 lead after eight minutes of action before Crestview rallied in the second stanza for a 28-26 halftime advantage. Wayne Trace answered back in the third quarter, outscoring the Knights 12-7 in the stanza to post a 38-35 lead. A 3-point play by the Knights Damian Helm tied the contest at 38-38 before a Ryan Kortokrax basket made it 40-38 Raiders. Two McClain free throws pushed the margin to 42-38 before a Lautzenheiser trey pulled Crestview within 42-41 at the 5:14 mark. After a Speice foul shot, a pair of Preston Zaleski free throws knotted it at 43-43 with 4:47 left. With the contest tied at 45-45, two Lautzenheiser charity tosses and a Bolenbaugh foul shot gave the Knights a 48-45 advantage with 1:57 on the clock. Following a Raider timeout, two Corbin Linder free throws trimmed the deficit to 48-47 at the 1:44 mark. Crestview pushed the lead to 50-47 on a pair of Bolenbaugh free throws but Sinn answered for the Raiders, his first trey of the night with 13 seconds left, to knot the score at 50-50. Lautzenheiser posted 18 points to pace the Knights and lead all scorers. Bolenbaugh had 11 markers and 10 rebounds for Crestview. Both Lautzenheiser and Bolenbaugh recorded three steals. Helm and Etzler also had seven caroms each while Zaleski picked up nine boards. Sinn topped the Raiders with 17 markers, followed by Linder with 13 and Grady Gudakunst chipped in 10. Sinn paced Wayne Trace with eight

rebounds. Sinn and Speice each posted three steals. Crestview dominated the boards 37-27 but the Knights committed 15 turnovers to Wayne Traces 14. The Raiders were 18-of-41 from the field (45%) compared to Crestviews 15-of-45 (33%). Each team attempted 26 free throws, with the Knights making 19 and Wayne Trace 12. Wayne Traces junior varsity defeated Crestview 47-34 as Jake Gerber and Brock Worden each scored 11 points for the Raiders, who move to 14-4 with the victory. Mitchell Rickard scored 14 points for the Knights (12-6). The Raiders, now 16-2, will face another big test on Friday with Edgerton visiting the Palace in a battle for the Green Meadows Conference championship. Crestview returns to Northwest Conference action Friday as the Knights visit Columbus Grove. Racers comeback falls short at Indiana Tech FORT WAYNE, Ind. The University of Northwestern Ohio mens basketball fell in a deep hole against Indiana Tech and despite a furious rally over the final seven minutes of the game, the Racers fell to the Warriors 67-66 in a WolverineHoosier Athletic Conference game Saturday. The Warriors held a 16-point lead (60-44) with 7:12 left to play. From that point, though, the Racers outscored Indiana Tech 22-7, with Derrick Tate scoring eight points and Johnny Elliott and Blake Bush adding six each. In the final minute, Elliott hit two jumpers and Bush made a 3-pointer. However, UNOH had one possession in the final 45 seconds which resulted in a turnover with four seconds left. Tate led all scorers with 23 points, hitting 11-of-16 from the floor. He added 11 rebounds for the double-double. Elliott added 15 points, four assists and four rebounds; Bush had 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. The Racers hit 52 percent from the floor (27-of-52). Tate, Elliott and Bush made 63 percent from the field (22-of-35). With the loss, Northwestern Ohio fell to 16-12 overall and 11-9 in the conference. The Racers are tied for sixth in the WHAC with Concordia, one game back of Cornerstone in fifth and two games back of fourth-place Indiana Tech. The top eight teams at the end of the regular season make the conference tournament. Racers end their home season with a game against Lourdes University at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The Racers will honor senior Aaron Toney before the game. They will close out the regular season at Marygrove College on Saturday. Warman hits 200th career 3-pointer as Lady Racers fall to Indiana Tech FORT WAYNE, Ind. Shaye Warman hit the 200th 3-pointer of her career on her way to 25 points but the University of Northwestern Ohio womens basketball team couldnt overcome a sizzling shooting day by Indiana Tech in a 90-77 Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference loss to the Warriors on Saturday. Warman led all scorers with her 25 points, hitting 10-of10 from the free-throw line. Lauren Hopfner added 16 points, four assists and three steals; Angie Cates had 13 points and six assists. Sammi Dervisevic had 13 points, five rebounds and three steals off the bench. Chelsea Carradine and Rachel Kruse each had 22 points for Indiana Tech (13-15, 11-9 WHAC). The Warriors shot 59 percent from the field (34-of-58), including Carradines 11-of-13 shooting. The Warriors shot out the gates with a 6-0 run but UNOH mounted an 8-2 run to tie the

game at 11-11 early on. Ulyssia Richomnd hit a 3-pointer to end the Lady Racers run, starting Indiana Tech on a 10-0 run over the next three minutes. Cates had 10 points in the first half and Hopfner added nine. Warman had 18 points in the second half, including a 3-pointer with 2:29 left to play to cut the lead to 81-75. From there, though, the Warriors went 4-of-4 from the line and Richmond hit another 3-pointer to end the game on a 9-2 run. The Lady Racers fell to 9-19 overall and 6-14 in the WHAC, down to 10th place and two games out of the final qualifying spot for the conference tournament. UNOH next faces Lourdes University at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Racer Gymnasium. Its the final home game of the 2012-13 season and the senior members of the team: Warman, Cates and Saige Meyer; will be honored after the game. Hanover outside game too much in 79-66 win over Bluffton By Keisha Holtsberry Sports information assistant BLUFFTON The Bluffton University mens basketball team lost a tough game to Hanover College on Saturday. The Beavers fell to 10-13 overall and 6-10 in the Heartland Conference, while Hanover improved to 16-7 overall and 13-3 in the HCAC. Hanover came out ready to play and was quickly up by five (7-2) just over two minutes into the game. The Beavers cut the Panther lead to three with two foul shots from freshman Thayne Recker (Arlington) but Hanover quickly retaliated and went back up by eight with 12:47 to play in the first period. At the 12:03 mark, sophomore Ryan Ebbeskotte (Fort Jennings/Delphos Jefferson) dropped in a layup to make it a 6-point game and less than 30 seconds later, freshman Billy Taflinger (Lima/ Central Catholic) got to the rack. Hanover and Bluffton continued to trade baskets for the rest of the half with the Panthers taking a 5-point lead into the break. In the second half, the Beavers relied on the efforts of Will Pope (Somerville/ Preble Shawnee) and Dustin Kinn (Alvada/New Riegel) to keep them in the game. Even with Pope and Kinn scoring a combined 41 points, the Panthers still pulled ahead by 20 with 6:51 to play. The Beavers continued to work but the home team was unable to get the Hanover lead to single digits. Two Kinn layups in the final 45 seconds made the final score 79-66 as the Panthers completed their season sweep of the Beavers. The Beavers were led by Kinn with 21 points, while Pope was not far behind with 20 counters. It marked the first game this season that Bluffton had two players go over 20 points on the same night. Kinn also had seven rebounds while Pope ripped down eight. Ebbeskotte handed out a teamhigh six assists and picked up three steals as well. Bluffton was 26-of55 (47.3%) from the field, while Hanover hit 26-of-51 (51.0%). From behind the arc, the Beavers were just 2-of-6 (33.3%), compared to Hanover which drilled 12-of28 (42.9%). Bluffton struggled at the foul line, making just 12-of-22 (54.5%). The visitors converted on 15-of-18 (83.3%) freebies. Both teams turned it over 15 times and Bluffton pulled down two more rebounds (32-30). The mens basketball team resumes action Wednesday when the Beavers welcome Defiance College for the second game of a womens and mens doubleheader in the Sommer Center. The Senior Night contest is slated for 8 p.m.

By CHRIS TALBOTT The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Mumford & Sons wrapped up a completely unpredictable Grammy Awards with perhaps the most surprising win of the night, taking home album of the year. It was an event that even shocked the London folkrockers. We figured we werent going to win anything because The Black Keys have been sweeping up all day, rightfully so, Marcus Mumford said. Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys ended up the nights top winner with four trophies, including producer of the year and three rock category victories with bandmate Patrick Carney. But it was hardly a clean sweep as The Recording Academys thousands of voters spread the love for the years top singles. Fun. took home major awards best new artist, in something of an upset over Frank Ocean, and song of the year for the transcendent anthem We Are Young, featuring Janelle Monae. I didnt think we were going to win this one, lead singer Nate Ruess said after the best new artist win. Frank Ocean. The Lumineers. Everybody, amazing. Like Mumford & Sons, Gotye busted up the predictions, taking record of the year for 2012s top-selling single, the haunting Somebody That I Used To Know, featuring Kimbra, and finished with three awards. Prince, in hood and sunglasses and carrying a sparkly silver cane, presented him with the record of the year trophy and the

Gotye
Australian paid tribute to The Purple Ones influence. A little bit lost for words, to receive an award from the man standing behind us with the cane, Gotye said. Many years listening to this mans music growing up and a big reason I was inspired to make music. Thank you. Jay-Z and Kanye West had

three wins sharing one award with Ocean along with Skrillex, and a slew of nominees had two wins apiece, including former best new artist winner Esperanza Spalding. Ocean was shut out in the major categories, but took home two trophies, including best urban contemporary album. Only Chris Brown, with whom Ocean scuffled last month, remained seated as the 25-year-old R&B winner walked to the stage during a standing ovation. Ocean beat Brown, who attended with girlfriend Rihanna, in the category. Ocean won also won best rap/sung collaboration for No Church in the Wild with fellow top nominees Jay-Z and West, and The-Dream. The win came after victories for Jay-Z and West for best rap song and best rap performance for in Paris, another Watch the Throne track. Ocean also performed his song Forrest Gump, the love song written about a man that first started the buzz that led to his announcement that his first love was a man. We Are Young helped fun. earn a starring role at these Grammys with nominations in all four major categories. The band turned in a powerful early performance of Carry On as a downpour on stage began mid-song and guitarist Jack Antonoff got a kiss from girlfriend Girls creator Lena Dunham after winning. The Black Keys took best rock performance for Lonely Boy during the main telecast and earlier in the day won best rock song for Lonely Boy and best rock album for El Camino. He also got an assist but no trophy on Dr. Johns best blues album Locked Down, which he produced. Other

Mumford and Sons

winners included Rihanna, Beyonce, Mumford & Sons and Taylor Swift, who opened the show as the Mad Hatter. Swift dressed in white top hat, tails, shorts and tall boots during the surreal version of her hummable hit We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

5s Daylight, before Adam Levines band backed her on Girl on Fire. Jack White brought both his male and female bands on stage, tearing through Love Interruption and Freedom at 21 before a standing ovation from the crowd. And Elton John, Mavis Staples, Brown, Mumford & Sons and Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes paid tribute to the late Levon Helm with a spirited rendition of The Weight. Adele won the first award of the night on the main telecast, taking home best pop solo performance for Set Fire to the Rain (Live), in one of the nights least-surprising moments though the singer was somewhat taken aback. I just wanted to be part of the night, because I loved it last year, obviously, she said of winning a record-tying six awards in 2012. Carrie Underwood won best country solo perfor-

that included a troop of mime clowns and a guy on a tricycle with a flame-thrower attached. The singer pretended to talk to the offending boyfriend on the phone: Im busy opening the Grammys and were never getting back together. Justin Timberlake debuted new tracks Suit & Tie with Jay-Z and Pusher Love in a performance that was broadcast in retro black and white. Rihanna and the extended Marley family paid tribute to Bob Marley. Sting and Bruno Mars helped each other out on their hits Locked Out of Heaven and Walking on the Moon. Elton John and Ed Sheeran teamed on The A Team and Miguel and Wiz Khalifa joined forces teamed up on Adorn. Alicia Keys played drums during Maroon

The Black Keys

mance for Blown Away, Zac Brown Band won best country album for Uncaged and Kelly Clarkson turned in the nights most exuberant acceptance speech after winning best pop vocal album for Stronger. After hugging much of the front row and momentarily getting stuck to Miranda Lamberts dress, Clarkson charged the stage with a giant smile. Miguel, I dont know who the hell you are, but we need to sing together, she said. I mean, good God. That was the sexiest dancing Ive ever seen. Skrillex won best dance recording for Bangarang, featuring Sirah, best dance/electronica album for Bangarang and best remixed recording a year after winning those same awards in his first appearance at the Grammys.

What heals traumatized kids? Answers are lacking

BY LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press CHICAGO Shootings and other traumatic events involving children are not rare events, but theres a startling lack of scientific evidence on the best ways to help young survivors and witnesses heal, a governmentfunded analysis found. School-based counseling treatments showed the most promise, but theres no hard proof that anxiety drugs or other medication work and far more research is needed to provide solid answers, say the authors who reviewed 25 studies. Their report was sponsored by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. According to research cited in the report, about two-thirds of U.S. children and teens younger than 18 will experience at least one traumatic event, including shootings and other violence, car crashes and weather disasters. That includes survivors and witnesses of trauma. Most will not suffer any long-term psychological problems, but about 13 percent will develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress, including anxiety, behavior difficulties and other problems related to the event. The reports conclusions dont mean that no treatment works. Its just that no one knows which treatments are best, or if certain ones work better for some children but not others. Our findings serve as a call to action, the researchers wrote in their analysis, published online Monday by the journal Pediatrics. This is a very important topic, just in light of recent events, said lead author

10A The Herald

Monday, February 11, 2013

www.delphosherald.com

Valerie Forman-Hoffman, a researcher at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She has two young children and said the results suggest that its likely one of them will experience some kind of trauma before reaching adulthood. As a parent I want to know what works best. Besides the December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, other recent tragedies involving young survivors or witnesses include the fatal shooting last month of a 15-year-old Chicago girl gunned down in front of a group of friends; Superstorm Sandy in October; and the 2011 Joplin, Mo., tornado, whose survivors include students whose high school was destroyed. Some may do fine with no treatment; others will need some sort of counseling to help them cope. Studying which treatments are most effective is difficult because so many things affect how a child or teen will fare emotionally after a traumatic event, said Dr. Denise Dowd, an emergency physician and research director at Childrens Mercy Hospitals and Clinics in Kansas City, Mo., who wrote a Pediatrics editorial. One of the most important factors is how the childs parents handle the aftermath, Dowd said. If the parent is freaking out and has difficulty controlling emotions, kids will have a tougher time dealing with trauma. Traumatized kids need to feel like theyre in a safe and stable environment, and if their parents have trouble coping, its going to be very difficult for the kid, she said.

BY RAHIM FAIEZ The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan An Afghan government panel acknowledged today that detainees face widespread torture but denied there is systematic abuse in government-run prisons. The panels findings were the result of a two-week factfinding mission following a U.N. report last month that said Afghan authorities are still torturing prisoners despite promises of reforms. The countrys intelligence service earlier had denied any torture in its detention facilities. The complaints have prompted NATO to stop many transfers of detainees to the Afghans as concerns about torture raise questions about the governments commitment to human rights. The U.N. report said more than half of the 635 detainees interviewed had been tortured about the same ratio found in its first report in 2011. It cited brutal tactics including hanging detainees from the ceiling by their wrists, beating them with cables and administering electric shocks. Many rights activists have expressed concern that such abuses could become more common as international forces draw down and the countrys Western allies become less watchful over a government that so far has taken few concrete actions to reform the system. The Afghan panel also denied the allegation in the U.N. report that the government appeared to be trying to hide the mistreatment by hiding detainees in secret locations during inspections by international observers. Commission head Abdul Qadir Adalatkhwa told reporters that torture and beatings occur in the first stages of the arrest but not while they are in prison. The delegation visited both male and female prisons as well as juvenile detention facilities. Adalatkhwa said 148 of 284 prisoners interviewed in the provinces of Kabul, Kandahar and Herat complained of torture and misbehavior at the time of their arrest and during the interrogation period. Of those 136 cases were confirmed, he said. The panel also interviewed 23 female detainees and found no confirmed allegations of rape and abuses.

Inmate lawsuits cost Calif. $200M

37 dead in stampede at Hindu festival in India

BY RAJESH KUMAR SINGH The Associated Press

BY DON THOMPSON The Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown has begun aggressively challenging federal court oversight of Californias prison system by highlighting what he says is a costly conflict of interest: The private law firms representing inmates and the judges own hand-picked authorities benefit financially by keeping the cases alive. How much are they making? A tally by The Associated Press, compiled from three state agencies, shows California taxpayers have spent $182 million for inmates attorneys and court-appointed authorities over the past 15 years. The payments cover a dozen lawsuits filed over the treatment of state prisoners, parolees and incarcerated juveniles, some of which have been settled. The total exceeds $200 million when the states own legal costs are added. While the amounts are a blip on Californias budget, they provide a continuous income stream for the private attorneys and experts involved in the ongoing litigation. And that is the point Brown is trying to make. The AP sought the tally after the Democratic governor began using court filings and public appearances to call for an end to two major lawsuits that have forced the state to spend billions of dollars improving its medical and mental health care for prison inmates. Brown says the complaints are expensive, frivolous and motivated by attorneys own financial interest. They dont want to go away, he said last month, standing behind a stack of court documents. I mean, the name of the game here is, Come to Sacramento and get your little piece of the pie. Brown says that, thanks to recent overhauls, California now offers inmates the best medical and mental health care of any prison system in the nation. Inmates lawyers and the courtappointed authorities overseeing inmate medical and mental health say the system, with more than 132,000 inmates, remains crowded and still has problems with suicides and mentally ill prisoners who deserve better care. They say they are not motivated by profit, but by a desire to protect prisoners constitutional right to be free from cruel treatment. Its ridiculous for the governor to merely characterize these cases as being about money, when in fact these cases have been the only impetus in the last 20 years for reducing the prison population and improving conditions, said Donald Specter, director of the nonprofit Prison Law Office in Berkeley, which has won several major cases against the state. The nonprofit, which has taken the lead in suing the state over inmate health care, and other legal firms have been paid $8.3 million in that case. Many of the lawsuits are continuing despite the billions of dollars spent to improve treatment for the states felons and a massive realignment of the states penal system, which has transferred responsibility for incarcerating tens of thousands of convicts from the state to the counties to reduce prison crowding.

BY JIM GOMEZ The Associated Press MANILA, Philippines A southern Philippine town plans to hold funeral rites for the worlds largest saltwater crocodile and then preserve its remains in a museum to keep tourists coming and prevent their community from slipping back into obscurity, the towns mayor said today. The 1-ton crocodile was declared dead Sunday a few hours after flipping over with a bloated stomach in a pond in an ecotourism park in Bunawan town, which had started to draw tourists, revenue and development because of the immense reptile, Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said. The whole town, in fact the whole province, is mourning, Elorde said from Bunawan in Agusan del Sur province. My phones kept ringing because people wanted to say how affected they are. Guinness World Records had proclaimed it the largest saltwater crocodile in captivity last year, measuring the giant at 6.17 meters (20.24 feet). The reptile took the top spot from an Australian crocodile that measured more than 5 meters (17 feet) and weighed nearly a ton. The crocodile was named Lolong, after a government environmental officer who died from a heart attack after traveling to Bunawan to help capture the beast. The crocodile, estimated to be more than 50 years old, was blamed for a few brutal deaths of villagers before Bunawan folk came to love it.

Philippine town mourns largest captive crocodile

ALLAHABAD, India Anxious relatives searched for missing family members in northern India today during one of the worlds largest religious gatherings, unsure if their loved ones were caught in a stampede that killed 37 people or had simply gotten lost among the tens of millions of pilgrims. People thronged to the main hospital in Allahabad to see if their relatives were among 37 dead and 39 people injured in Sunday evenings stampede at the citys train station. Tens of thousands of people were in the station waiting to board a train when railway officials announced a last-minute change in the platform, triggering the chaos. An estimated 30 million Hindus took a dip Sunday at the Sangam the confluence of the Ganges, the Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati rivers as part of the 55-day Kumbh Mela, or Pitcher Festival. Sunday was one of the holiest days to bathe. People missing at the Kumbh Mela is the stuff of legend in India and at least a dozen films have been made on the theme. On Sunday, like most other days, volunteers and officials used loudspeakers to give details of children and elderly people who were found on the river banks, having lost their families in the crowd. It was unclear how many people were missing because of the stampede.

Where can people my age hang out to meet each other? It seems there are no activities for our age group. I am too young for nightclubs, and the church groups in my area are for teenagers.

If there is a college in your area, you can audit a class and check what activities are going on. There may be no restrictions on attending even if you arent a student. You also could sign up for a weekend or evening class at the park district, as long as its something that truly interests you. If you like a particular band (or artist or TV show), you might find others online who share your enthusiasm.

Homes wrecked, dozen hurt in Mississippi tornado

BY HOLBROOK MOHR and JANET MCCONNAUGHEY The Associated Press HATTIESBURG, Miss. Residents shaken by a tornado that mangled homes in Mississippi were waking up today to a day of removing trees, patching roofs and giving thanks for their survival. More than a dozen in the state were injured. Daylight also offered emergency management officials the chance to get a better handle on the damage that stretched across several counties. Gov. Phil Bryant planned to visit hard-hit Hattiesburg, where a twister moved along one of the citys main streets and damaged buildings at the governors alma mater, the University of Southern Mississippi. Emergency officials said late Sunday that at least 10 people were injured in surrounding Forrest County and three were hurt to the west in Marion County, but they werent aware of any deaths. It was raining at first light today and people began trying to salvage what they could in one damaged neighborhood. Some people walked around fallen trees, power lines, smashed cars and other debris to carry belongings away. Charlotte Walters, 61, and her daughter Heather Walters, 30, were moving buckets and bowls around inside their house trying to catch water pouring through holes in the roof. The women were at home along with Charlottes husband when a relative called and said a tornado was headed their way. It came through like a freight train. I always heard it sounded like a train. It sounded like Katrina, said Charlotte Waters, who lives in a neighborhood also hit by the 2005 hurricane that devastated the Gulf Coast. Besides holes in the roof of her one-story wood frame house, a falling tree had damaged the side and another one collapsed on her carport, denting and breaking windows in three cars there. Im blessed. At least I dont have one of those in my house, Charlotte said, pointing to a tree that had fallen onto a neighbors house next door. After the storm passed, there were trees down all around the Murchison home. She said there was part of the roof damaged and leaking. Windows were broken out and the detached garage was leaning. Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said it appears a single tornado caused the damage in Forrest, Marion and Lamar counties. Hundreds of homes are damaged in Forrest County, along with a couple dozen in the other two. Flynn said the sheer scope of the damage was slowing officials assessment. The problem is, it was so strong that theres so much debris that theres a lot of areas they havent been able to get to yet, he said. On campus, trees were snapped in half around the heavily damaged Alumni House where part of the roof was ripped away.

Anxiety settles on LA area in fugitive ex-cop hunt

BY GILLIAN FLACCUS and TAMI ABDOLLAH The Associated Press IRVINE, Calif. The search for a fugitive ex-police officer wanted in the slayings of three people took police to a San Fernando Valley home improvement store and to the home of a possible target in a quiet Southern California suburb. Also, authorities have set a $1 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Christopher Dorner and small towns remained on edge from the din of police helicopters and cruisers staking out schools. Authorities have been working to protect dozens of families in the area considered targets based on Christopher Dorners Facebook rant against those he held responsible for ending his career with the Los Angeles Police Department five years ago. Among those the 33-year-old Dorner is suspected of killing is a Riverside police officer, and on the fourth day of the manhunt, authorities put up a $1 million reward for information leading to his capture. Our dedication to catch this killer remains steadfast. Our confidence remains unshaken, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said at a news conference alongside police chiefs and mayors from Irvine and Riverside. We will not tolerate this reign of terror. Several tips came in within a few hours after the award announcement, including a reported Dorner sighting that had police surrounding and evacuating a Lowes Home Improvement store in LAs San Fernando

Valley, police spokesman Gus Villanueva said. A search of the store yielded no evidence that Dorner was there or had been there. After days without resolution, Dorners fugitive status caused concern among some and downright fear among others in Irvine, an upscale community that the FBI consistently ranks among the safest cities in the U.S. If he did come around this corner, what could happen? Were in the crossfire, with the cops right there, said Irvine resident Joe Palacio, who lives down the street from the home surrounded by authorities protecting a police captain mentioned in Dorners posting. I do think about where I would put my family, he said. Would we call 911? Would we hide in the closet? The neighborhood has been flooded with authorities since Wednesday. Residents have seen police helicopters circle and cruisers stake out schools. Some have responded by keeping their children home. Others no longer walk their dogs at night. Police also were looking into a taunting phone call to the father of the woman they believe Dorner killed last week. Two law enforcement officers who requested anonymity because of the ongoing investigation told The Associated Press they are trying to determine whether Dorner made the call telling retired police Capt. Randal Quan that he should have done a better job protecting his daughter. The bodies of Monica Quan and her fiance were found shot dead last Sunday in Irvine, marking the start of the high-profile case.

BY STACEY PLAISANCE The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS Gunshots erupted in a crowd of beadwearing, drink-carrying late-night revelers on Bourbon Street during the countdown to Mardi Gras, wounding four people and sending bystanders running and screaming. Hours later on Sunday, though, the same stretch was packed with partiers who said they werent letting the violence dampen their fun. In a video taken by a witness Saturday night and released the next day, the shootings are preceded by footage of people standing shoulder to shoulder in New Orleans famed tourist district, with some holding green plastic cups and wearing gaudy hats or masks. A section of the frame highlighted by police shows people jostling and speaking with angry expressions. Police said in an email that the video depicts an argument involving one of the shooting victims and the suspects. Two men are seen leaving the argument and returning with a third, then approaching the victim as at least one of the suspects begins shooting, according to police. Four shots are heard in rapid succession, followed by screams as some in the crowd stagger into one another and a nearby wall. A man whom police identified as one of the suspects is shown walking through the crowd with his arm extended as the gunshots are heard, though its difficult to make out a weapon. Police said Sunday that they were seeking the three men and that theyve identified one suspect, but wont release the name. The shootings wounded two men and two women, three of whom were treated and released Sunday. One man hit in the abdomen, thigh and pelvis was in stable condition Sunday after surgery the previous night, New Orleans Police spokesman Hilal Williams said. Another man was shot in the buttocks, one woman was shot on the chin and right foot, and the second woman was shot on the toe, police said. No ages or names were released. The shooting came on the last weekend of partying before Mardi Gras, the Fat Tuesday celebration that is the signature tourist event of the year in New Orleans. And for thousands, the partying continued despite the shooting. Parades rolled under cloudy skies Sunday before crowds of onlookers, though the shootings were on the minds of some revelers. New Orleans has been plagued for years by violent crime, including gun violence that has soared since Hurricane Katrina devastated the city in 2005.

Hospital releases 3 New Orleans shooting victims

Windows in a nearby building were blown out, and heavy equipment worked to clear streets nearby in a heavy rain after the worst of the weather had passed. The university released a statement saying no one was hurt but that it was under a state of emergency, and anyone away from campus should stay away until further notice. Forrest County Sheriff Billy McGee says 10 or 15 people were injured by the tornado that slammed Hattiesburg and other parts of the county but none of the injuries was serious. Most of our injuries have been walking wounded, he said. To the west, Marion County emergency director Aaron Greer said three injuries had been reported in the community of Pickwick, about seven miles south of Columbia. Two people were taken to hospitals, but the third didnt have the injury examined, he said. Greer said one mobile home was destroyed, three other structures have major damage and several have minor damage.

BY BARBARA SURK The Associated Press BEIRUT Syrian opposition fighters captured the countrys largest dam today after days of intense clashes, dealing a major blow on the battlefield to President Bashar Assads troops nearly two years after the uprising against his rule erupted. The rebels already control two other dams on the Euphrates River, but todays capture of the al-Furat dam in the northeastern province of Raqqa was a coup for the opposition since it now controls water and electricity supplies to much of Syria, including government-held areas and large swathes of land the rebels captured during 22-months of conflict. Rami Abdul-Rahman, a Britain-based anti-regime activist, said the rebels took control of the dam after successfully pushing out a group of Assads loyalist from the facilitys control room. The dam fell to the rebel hands midday today. Most of the regime troops in the area had stopped fighting on Sunday following the fall of the nearby town of al-Thawra into opposition hands, Abdul-Rahman said. The rebel push on the dam was led by al-Qaida-linked militant group Jabhat al-Nusra that has been fighting alongside the Syrian rebels in the conflict. The government in Damascus did not confirm it has lost control of the al-Furat dam. Earlier this month, the Observatory said the opposition fighters took control of another, smaller dam in Raqqa province, the Baath dam, named after Syrias ruling party. In November, Syrian opposition fighters captured a hydroelectric Tishrin Dam, near the town of Manbij in northern Aleppo province. Syrias crisis began in March 2011 with largely peaceful protests inspired by the Arab Spring revolts elsewhere in the region that toppled longtime Arab dictators. It evolved into a civil war as the opposition took up arms to fight a government crackdown on dissent. More than 60,000 people have been killed in the violence, according to the United Nations. The Assad family has ruled Syria for more than 40 years.

Look Past Fog of Uncertainty When Investing

In Europe, the financial crisis drags on. Chinas economic growth has slowed from wow to ho-hum. Here at home, weve seen heated political debates over taxes, spending and deficit reduction. Taken together, these factors have created a fog of uncertainty that has left many investors in the dark about their next moves. But is this fog really impenetrable or can you, as an individual investor, see through it to a place of clarity? To do so, you first need to realize that while the events mentioned above are certainly not insignificant, they also arent the key determinants of investors success. While these types of stories dominate the headlines, they also tend to obscure some of the factors that frequently do play a bigger role in the investment world. And right now, these factors are actually somewhat encouraging. Consider the following: The economy continues to grow. The economy isnt going gangbusters, but it is growing. And thanks to historically low interest rates, consumer debt payments have dropped significantly, leaving people with more money to spend elsewhere. Typically, this higher spending tends to contribute to future economic growth. Corporate earnings remain solid. Many companies have shown strong earnings over the past couple of years and earnings tend to be a key driver of stock prices. When their earnings are strong, companies may use some of the profits to repurchase shares of their own stock, thereby reducing the number of shares held by the public which means that even if profits remain the same, the earnings per share should increase. Stocks are still attractively priced. As measured by the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E), stocks are still priced relatively well. While no one can predict stock market performance, this may be a good buying opportunity. Of course, all these indicators of todays investment environment can change over time; at some point, they may well be not so positive. But if you truly want to see through the fog of uncertainty that always develops with unsettling political or economic news, youll want to follow these basic, all-weather guidelines: Stay diversified. A diversified portfolio can help protect you from the harshest effects of market volatility. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification, cant guarantee profits or protect against loss.) Rebalance your portfolio. Over time, your investment mix can shift, even without your intent. For example, some of your holdings can appreciate so much in value that they take on a greater percentage of your portfolio than you had intended. Thats why its important to periodically rebalance your portfolio so that it fits your investment objectives and risk tolerance. Stay focused on the long term. When confronted with short-term market fluctuations or scary headlines, many people overreact and make ill-advised investment decisions. You can avoid these behaviors by staying focused on the long term. Invest in companies that are charting their own course. When investing for the equity portion of your portfolio, look for companies with the ability to prosper in all economic environments. With patience and perseverance, and by focusing on the key factors outlined above, you

can navigate the fog of uncertainty and concentrate on your long-term investment goals. So dont be afraid to set sail. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Tips for avoiding costly errors on your tax return

(BPT) - Making mistakes is one of Americans biggest fears at tax time. A single error can delay the processing of your return or even cause it to be rejected by the IRS. If that happens and youre entitled to a refund, get ready to wait. Todays sophisticated tax preparation products make doing your own taxes perfect the first time at an affordable price - or even free - a reality for millions of Americans each year. Online and downloadable solutions have everything the vast majority of taxpayers need to file their taxes with complete confidence, says Jessi Dolmage, TaxACT Spokesperson. Using doit-yourself tax preparation software solutions drastically reduces the chance of errors, especially if you import last years return information. If youre doing your own taxes for the first time this year or arent able to import last years return, be especially careful to avoid these common errors. *Every year, the IRS receives millions of returns with misspelled names and incorrect Social Security Numbers (SSN), particularly those of dependents.- When processing your return, the IRS verifies names and SSNs on your return with the Social Security Administrations database. If the information doesnt match, the IRS will notify you. Although the errors are easy to correct, they could delay refundable credits for parents and college students, and refunds for the Earned Income Tax Credit. *Report all your income. The IRS can easily check how much income you received based on your SSN and 1099 forms financial institutions are required to submit. If unreported income is discovered after the filing deadline, you could owe penalties and interest on the earnings. *Because filing status determines many amounts on tax returns, the IRS has strict qualifying criteria for each of the five filing statuses. If you dont meet all the requirements for the filing status claimed on your return, the IRS could reject your return. If you qualify for more than one status, claim the one resulting in the bigger refund or less tax owed. See IRS Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information, for detailed information about filing statuses. Tax preparation programs simplify it all by guiding you through your options and helping you choose. *Whether youre receiving a refund or owe taxes, double check the routing and account numbers on your return. One incorrect number can mean several extra weeks of waiting for your refund, someone else receiving your refund, or your refund being sent back to the IRS. *With hundreds of deductions and credits available for the taking, its easy to miss one. The onus is on you as the taxpayer, not the IRS, to claim all the tax breaks you qualify for. Dolmage says thats one of the key advantages of using tax preparation solutions. The program walks you through each credit and deduction to help you get the biggest possible refund, says Dolmage. All you have to do is answer simple questions. *Finally, file your tax return and pay any taxes owed by the April 15 deadline. If you need more time to file your return, file Form 4868 for an automatic six-month filing extension. However, keep in mind youre still obligated to pay any taxes owed by April 15. Pay late and youll incur penalties and interest fees. Dolmage also says, Another all-too-common mistake is paying too much to do your taxes. Expensive solu-

One more use for your tax refund: Take control of your debt
(BPT) - If youre anticipating a tax refund this year, chances are youve already thought about how youll spend the money. Maybe youll pay bills, fund your summer vacation or treat yourself to something nice. Heres one more excellent use for your tax refund: take control of your debt. From bolstering your savings to paying off highinterest credit card debt, your tax return can go a long way toward helping you get on top of your finances. Here are six ways to use your refund and have a positive impact on your financial wellbeing: 1. Build up your emergency fund - Everyone should have an emergency fund of enough cash set aside to cover several months worth of expenses should you lose your job. It can be difficult, however, to regularly route money from your paycheck into your backup fund. Tax return money is a great way to give your emergency fund a quick growth spurt. 2. Pay off high-interest debt - High-interest debt costs you in so many ways, from the expense of paying interest to the negative impact too much debt can have on your credit score or even the risk of falling behind on paying bills. If you decide to use your refund to pay off credit card bills, prioritize: pay off ones that have missed payments or that cost you the most in interest. 3. Repay cash advances or payday loans - Although theres almost never a good enough reason to take on one of these very costly types of loans, the reality is many people turn to payday loans or cash advances to make ends meet. The effective interest rate on this type of loan can be astronomical, so using your refund to pay them off can help you catch up on debt. 4. Save toward a goal Maybe you want to buy a house within the next five years, or need to replace your tired, worn-out car. Or, perhaps you just dream of a flatscreen in your living room. Virtually everyone has a bigticket item they would like to buy. If your refund isnt enough to cover the cost, it can be a great starting point and a motivator to continue saving toward your specific goal. 5. Beef up your IRA/401(k) - If you havent yet contributed the maximum allowable amount to your retirement fund this year, your tax refund can help you make the most of your retirement savings. Check with your plan administrator to be sure what the limits are and contribute extra if youre not at the limit. 6. Keep on top of your credit - If understanding your credit is an objective (and it should be for everyone), consider enrolling in a monitoring

Grow your tax refund with savings bonds

(BPT) - Expecting a tax refund this tax season? If so, you may be interested in a convenient savings option offered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Taxpayers may buy paper Series I Savings Bonds, in amounts ranging from $50 to $5,000, with their annual tax refund by completing the Allocation of Refund (Including Savings Bond Purchases) IRS Form 8888. TreasuryDirect online account holders may deposit all or part of their tax refunds into their TreasuryDirect accounts. Each new tax season gives people a chance to build their savings, says Jerry Kelly, national director of the Treasury Departments Ready.Save.Grow. campaign. The average annual tax refund of $3,000 can compound over time when invested in savings bonds. I encourage tax refund recipients to learn more about the benefits of savings bonds as they plan for long-term savings goals. To use your tax refund this year to buy savings bonds, follow these steps: 1. Fill out Form 8888 Complete this form to designate your desired dollar amount to buy paper Series I Savings Bonds or to deposit into your TreasuryDirect account.2. Set up a TreasuryDirect account - Although you can buy paper savings bonds with your tax refund, electronic savings bonds are even easier to manage with an online TreasuryDirect account. For instructions on how to set up a TreasuryDirect account, helpful tools including a tip sheet and guided tour can be found on www.treasurydirect.

account by using Form 8888. Then use your TreasuryDirect account to make a gift of this deposit. Resources that provide guidance on gifting savings bonds include a tip sheet, demo and video, which are available on www.treasurydirect.gov/readysavegrow. To efficiently gift savings bonds to your child using your tax refund, set up a minor-linked TreasuryDirect account in your childs name. Why Series I Savings Bonds? Series I Savings Bonds

currently offer an interest rate of 1.76 percent, and theyre exempt from state and local income taxes. Whats more, interest earnings may be exempt from federal income taxes when the earnings are used to pay for qualified higher education expenses. Series I Bonds are longterm savings instruments that can help support a home purchase, retirement, college savings or other life goals. You must hold an I Bond for at least one year after its issued, but its best to hold it for at least five years to avoid any early redemption penalty. To learn more about the value of savings bonds, the Treasury Departments Savings Bonds Calculator, accessible on www.treasurydirect.gov, will come in handy. Save With Savings Bonds

Year-Round U.S. Savings Bonds are a good investment at tax time - or anytime. Payroll direct deposit through your employer is a convenient option for building a regular savings habit. Every payday you can automatically contribute to your TreasuryDirect account and begin building your nest egg. To learn more about payroll direct deposit and other Treasury securities go to the Ready.Save.Grow. website at www.treasurydirect.gov/ readysavegrow. The preceding information was provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Public Debt. TreasuryDirect is a registered mark of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Ready.Save.Grow. is a service mark of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

(BPT) - If you typically dread income tax time, remember this: Three out of four taxpayers receive a federal refund, and the average direct-deposited refund last year was $2,923. You have almost as many tax savings opportunities as last year, thanks to the fiscal cliff-averting tax changes passed in early January. In addition to extending the lower Bush-era income tax rates for nearly all taxpayers, the American Tax Relief Act made permanent or extended dozens of tax breaks. This years tax law changes included thousands

Hundreds more tax benefits are up for grabs on this years federal returns due April 15. When youre ready to do your taxes, use these tips to make tax time easier and faster. 1. Gather all your tax forms (W-2, 1099, 1098, etc.), receipts and a copy of last years return first. Use TaxACTs free return checklist at www.taxact.com/checklist. 2. Dont spend too much on tax preparation. Online and downloadable software has all the guidance, forms and tools the vast majority of taxpayers need to do their own taxes. Some of the solutions are even free. All taxpayers can file their federal tax returns free with TaxACT Free Federal Edition, says

Dolmage. TaxACT includes all e-fileable forms for simple and complex tax returns, and theres instant and personalized help available every step of the way. 3. According to the IRS, more than nine out of 10 refunds were issued in fewer than 21 days last year. You should expect the same this year. For the fastest possible refund, e-file and choose direct deposit. You can track your federal refund with Wheres My Refund at www.irs.gov. 4. File your return by the deadline. If you need an automatic six-month extension, e-file Form 4868 and pay any taxes owed by the April 15 deadline to avoid late-filing penalties and interest fees. Finally, dont procrastinate. Rushing can lead to costly errors. For more information about tax deductions and credits available on 2012 tax returns, visit www.irs.gov and www.taxact.com/taxinfo.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2013 In coming months, you are likely to develop a closer involvement with a loyal friend who has a great deal of clout in a number of areas. This persons popularity will result in some exciting new friendships. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Small factors could have more significance than usual in your commercial or financial dealings. All those pennies you save or make will really add up. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Even though you might not be aware of the weight that your words carry, your thoughts and suggestions will have a strong, constructive impact on persons with whom youre involved. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Certain confidential information you become privy to can be used to everyones advantage, especially yours. It behooves you to keep it to yourself for the time being. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try to associate with friends whose views and opinions parallel yours. Valuable information can be exchanged through a number of frank discussions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Youre likely to discover that if confronted by a challenge, youll be able to work it out much quicker in front of an appreciative audience than you would alone. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Its important that you treat any team effort extremely seriously, whether it involves a sport or a business. Your opponents will be playing to win, so you had better be as well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If youve been anxious to get the support of someone about a change that youd like to make, this is the day to do it. Spell out all the details, even the unattractive ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- This could turn out to be a rather successful day, because youll not only have good ideas, youll know how to implement them in ways that improve present conditions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Small gains have a way of adding up, so dont get discouraged if the initial returns arent up to your expectations. Consistency will prove to be more important in the long run. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It isnt likely that spontaneous involvements will generate much pleasure for you. Youre apt to find far more enjoyment in well-planned activities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- A great deal of valuable information can be attained by observing how a successful friend handles his or her relationships. The techniques used by your pal can be tailored to fit you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you decide to pay a surprise visit to an old friend whom you havent seen in a long time, youll be welcomed. Your pal will be glad for the opportunity to catch up. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2013 Although the route you choose to follow in the year ahead might not be an easy one, you know that it could lead somewhere quite valuable. Success is likely if you have the courage of your convictions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Even though youre inclined to even the score with someone who did something that you deeply resent, try to find out the motives behind this persons actions. Youll have a smarter reaction. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Every once in a while, youre far too generous to an undeserving person. This is one of those days when you might again exercise such poor judgment. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be extremely selective about the goals you pursue. Make sure they will bring you satisfaction once youve achieved them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Because of a reluctance on your part to express what is really disturbing you, friends and/or associates could find you perplexing, as well as difficult to deal with. Speak out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It behooves you to be more selective about those with whom you choose to associate. Steer clear of companions who have a faculty for making waves and causing trouble. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- For the sake of harmony, try to view things from your mate or other house members perspective. Whats important to you might not be to him or her. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Having a bad attitude about the days duties is likely to produce bad results. Putting a smile on your face will make your job quite a bit easier. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Although you may be having difficulty getting someone who is indebted to you to settle his or her account, applying pressure wont help. Find another way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be extremely diplomatic when dealing with your mate or an important person in your life if you hope to maintain domestic harmony. Nothing will be gained by bringing up old, divisive issues. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Overstepping the fine line between constructive criticism and nitpicking could produce a situation that will surprise even you. Be more sensitive about what you say and how you say it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Should you want to make a purchase from a firm that youve never dealt with, make sure the merchandise can be returned in case you have second thoughts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If a person with whom youre involved isnt living up to his or her claims, youll handle it much better if youre congenial. Dont be authoritarian or harsh.
