Ottoville eyes
raising village
sewer rates
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
sgroves@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE The Village
of Ottoville held its monthly
council meeting Monday night
and addressed an array of busi-
ness matters.
In an effort to increase village
revenue, council studied compa-
rable sewer rates from the vil-
lages of Continental and Kalida
and entertained the possibility of
assessing an additional 25 cents
per 1,000 gallons of water, rais-
ing the current price from $4.25
to $4.50.
At this time, the current quar-
terly rates include $12 for sewer,
$10 for water and $66 for water
delivery. If the proposed increase
takes effect, it would generate
approximately $8,000 in addi-
tional revenue for the village per
year.
In fiscal news, council
approved the motion to transfer
$50,000 from the general fund
into the street construction fund.
Mayor Ron Miller reported
that the first phase of the instal-
lation of 16 new LED street
lights and four meters has been
completed. The plan is to track
the kilowatt usage of the lights
and determine the energy cost
savings, or return on investment
(ROI). After six months, the vil-
lage should have acquired suffi-
cient data to analyze the systems
energy efficiency.
By fall, we should have an
accurate reading on our savings,
Miller emphasized. Purchase of
additional lights may be slated
later and hinges on the budget .
Council previously approved
the purchase of 11.757 acres
of Niedecken property in the
Industrial Park and will utilize
the property for commercial
development. The land costs
$7,000 per acre, bringing the
total purchase price close to
$82,300. At this time, the title
search is under way and the over-
all process of purchasing the land
is moving forward as expected.
In new business, members
discussed the Fire Mutual Aid
Addendum with Ottawa village,
which is an annual contract for
mutual aid for fire protection that
requires other districts to pay for
the use of the aerial ladder truck.
According to the addendum
passed by Ottawa village council
in December, any of the entities
included in the agreement will
be required to pay $2,000 when
the ladder truck is dispatched,
regardless if it is cancelled before
the truck is en route. The truck
will then cost an additional $200
per hour until it is marked back
in service. The truck will also
be manned by four Ottawa fire-
fighters and additional charges
will be assessed for lost or bro-
ken tools and appliances. Mayor
Miller is apprehensive about the
costs associated with the service
and recommends researching
other options, including using
American Townships ladder
truck.
The truck is a big outfit and
if we use it, we better know
where it is going before we call,
Miller spoke with caution. We
also need to know where the
water supplies are.
Ottawa Chamber of
Commerce members presented
a model of the villages four new
entrance signs and spoke on veri-
fying each landmarks location
and described the installation.
Each sign is 8 feet long and 5 feet
tall, made of 3/4 inch aluminum
and will be bolted down onto
a one-foot high, 6,000-pound
concrete slab. The village paid
for two of the four signs, at
$19,000, and Chamber picked
up the balance. H&M Machine
& Welding donated the concrete,
bolts and re-bar needed to com-
plete the installation, which will
take place when the weather is
conducive. The signs will also be
highlighted with either solar- or
electric-powered lighting.
The Board of Public Affairs
has been researching the cost
to repair the firehouse. The Fire
Departments station renova-
tions include interior painting of
the floor and walls and replace-
ment of existing metal walls.
The total anticipated cost for
the work is $25,000 to $26,000.
Quotes include $20,000 to paint
the flooring and stripping in
the fire bay, storage and utility
rooms. During the assessment of
completing metal fabricated wall
structures, an issue arose regard-
ing the condition of the electrical
wiring and boxes. There is also a
water leak in the roofing which
seems to be amplified by snow
and ice.
The system is outdated and
needs to be replaced, Miller
stated. Im not sold on paint-
ing the floor. That [the electrical
work] needs to be taken care
of before any painting of the
floors.
The plans to renovate the
fire station are in the works to
prepare the village to hosting
the 139th Northwest Ohio Fire
Convention (NOVFA) on June
13-15 this year. The proposed
detailed cruise and parade routes
were presented to and approved
by council members. The three-
day event will draw similar num-
bers of Fire Departments, at 110,
and guests registered, at 1,200,
as last years convention held in
Delphos.
The next regular meeting is
set for 7 p.m. Feb. 25 at 7 p.m.

Dimples and Grins Mothers
Club marks 37 years
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
sgroves@delphosherald.com
FORT JENNINGS Ohio
Child Conservation League
(OCCL) Dimples and Grins
Mothers Club held their first
meeting in 1976 in the home of
Pat Grothause. What started out
as a Service League following an
Achievement 10 Programming
for mothers of younger children,
has since evolved into a club
geared toward home life and
grandchildren.
The OCCL was organized
in 1918 as a non-profit, non-
sectarian, educational orga-
nization interested in child
conservation by enabling par-
ents to teach their children to
be stable, thinking citizens of
tomorrow through spiritual,
mental, physical, and moral
development while promot-
ing family solidarity through
participation in local civic or
philanthropic work, attend-
ing meetings to encourage
family interest in OCCL, to
engage children and promote
fellowship among members
and friends.
In the past, the club mem-
bers have sponsored a wealth
of activities for their children
focusing on the four devel-
opmental areas including;
Breakfast with Santa, Mad
River canoeing & camp-
ing trips, Ice Capades at the
Holidome, Halloween hay-
ride party and Splash parties
at the Y.M.C.A.
Each year since the early
1980s, the Mothers have
sponsored the annual Teddy
Bear Raffle, which is a char-
ity event that raises proceeds
for the national Teddy
Bears That Care program.
The club members set up a
table during lunch recess at
Ft. Jennings grade school
and students purchase raffle
tickets on a basket full of
donated surprises. This years
treasure trove included items
such as a basketball, iPod,
Fort Jennings School shirt
and duffel bag, games and
candy. The proceeds are
donated to the Teddy Bear
Fund in Lima and they in
turn donate Teddy Bears to
St. Ritas and Lima Memorial
Hospitals. This year, the club
raised $333.00 for the fund-
raiser. Current President,
Deb Burkemier, has been a
member of the club since its
inception and has seen first-
hand, the positive effects of
the yearly raffle.
This program gives teddy
bears to children who are in
the hospital or visiting the
emergency room, Burkemier
spoke with compassion. To
a scared child, something as
simple as a stuffed animal,
can bring a little comfort.
Fort Jennings grade school
Principal, Kathy Verhoff is a
strong proponent of the club
and speaks highly of their
unfaltering humanitarianism.
This community service
project is a chance for the
students to help others during
the holidays, Verhoff spoke
with conviction. Its a win-
win where kids help support
a cause by buying the raffle
tickets and they can also win
a prize.
In addition, the club
has collaborated with Fort
Jennings High Schools
administration with planning
social events for the students,
including Halloween and
other dances at the school.
More recently, the Dimples
and Grins Mothers donated
their time working the lunch
stand at the Craft Show dur-
ing the Bicentennial celebra-
tion at the Park Carnival,
which raised $1026 for the
Park and Memorial Hall. By

High winds, rains
rake US midsection
The Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. A large storm system packing high
winds, rain and some possible twisters tore across several
states in the South and central U.S. today, blacking out power
to thousands, downing trees and damaging homes.
One death was reported when a large tree blew down on a
shed in Nashville, Tenn., where a man was sheltering, police
told Nashville broadcaster WTVF-TV. Authorities did not
immediately release further details when contacted by The
Associated Press. In Arkansas, another person was reported
injured by lightning in Arkansas during the storms eastward
trek. The storm was marching just ahead of a cold front as the
volatile system headed toward the Eastern seaboard, dumping
heavy rain in Kentucky and parts of Tennessee.
The rapidly changing conditions created a risk of tornadoes
in the nations midsection and South. The National Weather
Services Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said the
threat was greatest in recent hours in northeast Texas, north-
ern Louisiana, northwest Mississippi, southeast Missouri and
much of Arkansas. Thousands were reported without power in
Tennessee, where tornado warnings and flash flood warnings
were issued for various counties and a tractor-trailer truck was
blown on its side by high winds.
Entergy Arkansas Inc. reported at least 9,000 power out-
ages in several communities around Arkansas at the height of
the storm, including in and around Little Rock.

Authorities in Arkansas
said they would be checking
reports of possible twisters
kicked up near a Little Rock
suburb and in two locations
in northwestern Arkansas.
Power lines fell, trees were
toppled and some homes
suffered damage to rooftops
around the state, according to
emergency officials.
The National Weather
Service reported that suspect-
ed straight-line winds of up
to 80 mph were reported in
Arkansas late Tuesday night
along with flooding in low-
lying areas of Jonesboro in
Arkansas northeastern cor-
ner. Police in the Arkansas
community of Monticello
reported a person was injured
by lightning late Tuesday but
the injury was not life-threat-
ening
The Mi ssi ssi ppi
Emergency Management
Agency urged residents to
be on guard for severe thun-
derstorms, high winds and
the possibility of tornadoes
amid the collision of cold and
warm weather systems.
This storm will move
through the state while most
folks are asleep, which
increases the potential for
injuries, said the agencys
director, Robert Latham, urg-
ing Mississippi residents to
stay tuned to weather alerts
today.
Tennessee also braced for
volatile weather conditions
from the front stretching on
a slanted arc crossing sev-
eral states. In Tennessee, a
tornado watch was in effect
for a wide swath of the state
overnight, part of a system
that spread buffeting winds
and rain over the region.
Earlier this week, a large
swath of the Midwest and
South bathed in unseason-
ably balmy temperatures that
reached the high 70s in some
areas.
On Monday, the National
Weather Service predicted
a moderate risk of severe
weather more than 24 hours
out, only the fifth time it had
done so in January in the
past 15 years, said Gregory
Carbin, the director of the
Storm Prediction Center.
A system pulling warm
weather from the Gulf of
Mexico was colliding with
a cold front moving in from
the west, creating volatility.
The nation has had its lon-
gest break between tornado
fatalities since detailed tor-
nado records began being
kept in 1950, according to
the Storm Prediction Center
and National Climatic Data
Center. The last one was
June 24, when a person was
killed in a home in Highlands
County, Fla. That was 220
days ago as of Tuesday. The
last day with multiple fatali-
ties was June 4, when three
people were killed in a mobile
home in Scott County, Mo.

Stopping the threat
of Asian Carp
By US Senator
Sherrod Brown
The Great Lakes region
and the Ohio River basin are
invaluable resourcespro-
viding a source
of water for
countless house-
holds, generating
economic activ-
ity for the region,
and providing
jobs through
commerce, fish-
ing, and tourism.
In fact,
according to the
Ohio Department
of Natural
Resources, some
450,000 people fish in Lake
Erie annually contribut-
ing about $680 million to
Ohios economy. But our
fishing and tourism indus-
tries are threatened by Asian
carp.
Protecting the Great
Lakes region and the Ohio
River basin from Asian
carp is about protecting our
regional economy and the
livelihood of thousands of
Ohioans. These invasive
species, with their voracious
appetites, significantly alter
the habitat by crowding-
out native bass, catfish, and
walleyeand are also a
threat to boaters. The time
to act is now as Asian carp
have already been identified
in the Ohio River at the
mouth of the Little Miami
River, near Cincinnati.
Although several federal
agencies have already been
combating Asian carp, we
have yet to designate an
agency as the lead. Simply
put, we need a coordinated
federal response.
Last June, I helped pass
the bipartisan Stop Invasive
Species Act to expedite
a strategy to block Asian
carp from entering the
Great Lakes. And though
the bill was signed into law
last summer, there is still
more we must do.
While we rightly
focus on keep-
ing the carp out
of the Great Lakes
in the Chicago
region, we must
also protect other
pathways into the
lakes.
Thats why
Im re-intro-
ducing biparti-
san legislation,
Strategic Response
to Asian Carp Invasion
Act, with Senator Pat
Toomey, a Republican from
Pennsylvania, to stop Asian
carp from entering streams
and rivers in our states.
The Strategic Response
to Asian Carp Invasion Act
would coordinate a new
federal effort with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service,
National Park Service, U.S.
Geological Survey, Army
Corps of Engineers, and state
wildlife agencies to share
best practices and technology
to stop the threat of Asian
carp. It would also require a
yearly report to Congress on
the efforts and movement of
Asian carp within the Ohio
and Upper Mississippi River
region.
We must all work togeth-
er to protect the Great Lakes
region and the Ohio River
basin from this invasive spe-
cies. The Strategic Response
to Asian Carp Invasion Act
is another much needed step
to secure the economic driv-
ers shoring up Ohios multi-
million dollar fishing and
recreation industries.

The annual Ohio Mock Trial
Competition begins this week
and is expected to include
more than 3,500 students
from 180 high schools around
the state. The students play
the roles of attorneys and wit-
nesses in a mock trial set-
ting to help students learn
about constitutional rights.
This years case deals with
improper confessions and a
persons Fifth Amendment
rights.
Hundreds of legal profes-
sionals volunteer to advise
teams of students or to act as
coordinators and judges for
the competition. The district
competitions are held this
week, with the winning teams
moving on to regional com-
petition and a championship
round at the Ohio Statehouse
in March.

ZANESVILLE (AP)
An appeals court in eastern
Ohio overturned the convic-
tions of a woman and her
husband in the drowning of
her 3-year-old son and dis-
appearance of his 2-year-old
brother during a camping trip,
and the couple is expected to
be tried again, separately.
The Fifth District Court of
Appeals ruled last week that
the trial court wrongly denied
a defense effort to have
Kasey and Richard Klein Jr.
of Zanesville tried separate-
ly last year. Each was sen-
tenced to 12 years in prison
for involuntary manslaughter
and child endangerment. The
toddlers wandered away from
the family campsite near the
Muskingum River at Ellis
Dam in June 2011, authori-
ties said. The body of the
3-year-old was found a few
hours later in the water about
a mile below the dam. Crews
searched unsuccessfully for
the younger boy for more
than a week.
Richard Kleins appeal
contended that the court
was wrong to try the couple
together and that the strat-
egy used in his wifes defense
deprived him of due pro-
cess and a fair trial, and
the appeals court agreed. His
attorney, David Graeff, said
Tuesday he was pleased with
the latest ruling and empha-
sized that the decision to
have a joint trial was made
early on and that he doesnt
fault the judge or the pros-
ecution. Graeff said prob-
lems alleged in the appeal
arose from statements later
made by Kasey Kleins attor-
ney insinuating that Richard
Klein had killed the boys.
They obviously didnt have
any intent to harm their chil-
dren, Graeff said.
Based on its ruling in
Richard Kleins appeal, the
Fifth District Court found
his wife also should get a
new trial. She had appealed
separately, arguing her con-
viction wasnt supported by
evidence. A message left
Tuesday seeking comment
from Kasey Kleins attor-
ney was not immediately
returned. The Muskingum
County prosecutor, who had
argued the couples irre-
sponsibility led to the boys
deaths, wasnt available for
comment.

Probe expanding into chase that left 2 dead
CLEVELAND (AP)
The investigation is expand-
ing into a lengthy police chase
that involved 63 patrol cars
and ended when Cleveland
police fired more than 100
shots, killing two unarmed
people last November, the
citys mayor said Tuesday.
The states Bureau of
Criminal Investigation is
doing its own review and
wants to re-interview officers
before the city can speak with
them, Mayor Frank Jackson
said.
Officials in Cleveland also
said that investigators have
found that more patrol cars
were involved in the chase on
Nov. 29 than initially thought
and they now want to inter-
view about 115 officers and
dispatchers.
Jackson said officials first
thought the administrative
review would be completed
by the end of this month but
the widening scope means
investigators need more time.
Timothy Russell, 43, and
Malissa Williams, 30, were
killed after 13 Cleveland
police officers fired 137 shots
at their car following a high-
speed chase that began after
an officer thought he heard
a gunshot from a car speed-
ing by police headquarters
in downtown Cleveland. The
chase involving police, sher-
iffs deputies and state troop-
ers went through residential
neighborhoods and onto a
freeway before ending with
the car blocked in at the rear
of a school in neighboring
East Cleveland.
Some community leaders
called the shootings racially
motivated. Its unclear why
the driver didnt stop. Some
officers thought the two peo-
ple in the car were armed,
but no weapon or shell cas-
ings were found. The police
union has said that the shoot-
ings were justified because
the driver tried to ram an
officer.
Autopsies found cocaine
in the systems of both the
driver and passenger.
Ohio school
district wants
students to pay up
WOODSFIELD (AP) A
southeast Ohio school district
says it will penalize students
who owe more than $50 in
their lunch bills by taking
away their extra-curricular
activities.
WTOV-TV reports that the
Switzerland Of Ohio Local
School District notified par-
ents of the move this week.
The district is giving fami-
lies and students two weeks to
get their lunch accounts paid
up before they penalize them.
Superintendent Larry
Elliott said its something
administrators dont want to
have to do, but they needed
to get students to take care of
their unpaid bills in the finan-
cially strapped school district.
Elliott said many district
parents have already paid their
bills without issue.
The district, which cov-
ers Monroe and parts of
Noble and Belmont counties,
includes three high schools, a
career center and six elemen-
tary buildings.
LONDON A former
Ohio police captain who
spent nearly 15 years in pris-
on in his ex-wifes killing
is free after a judge ruled
that new DNA test results
prove hes innocent. Doug
Prade was released from
the Madison Correctional
Institution west of Columbus
on Tuesday, just hours after
an Akron judge ruled that
new DNA test results prove
hes innocent. The now
66-year-old Prade was con-
victed in 1998 of shooting
his ex-wife to death outside
the Akron office where she
worked as a doctor on Nov.
26, 1997. There were no wit-
nesses and no fingerprints,
and no gun ever was found.
Prades conviction largely
was based on a bite mark
found on his ex-wifes body.
The new test results show
that Prade couldnt have left
the mark.

Ohio OKs $1.5 million for
summer food programs
COLUMBUS (AP)
Gov. John Kasich has autho-
rized spending up to $1.5 mil-
lion more to help feed needy
children during the summer
when they arent getting free
lunches at school.
The Ohio Association of
Foodbanks said the money
will help continue last sum-
mers weekend meals back-
pack program for children
in need. The money comes
from the states Temporary
Assistance for Needy
Families funds. Kasich
signed the order Tuesday.
Some 45 percent of
school-aged children in Ohio
receive free or reduced-price
meals during the school year.
But when summer comes,
participation in the seasonal
companion program avail-
able to those same children
draws only a fraction of eli-
gible youngsters.
The foodbank association
said childhood hunger can
lead to higher rates of diabe-
tes and other conditions, and
affect learning.
DAYTON (AP) An Ohio newspaper
analysis shows that manufacturing is again
driving the states economic expansion.
The Dayton Daily News reports that after
many years of declines in manufacturing,
more than half of Ohios counties are heavily
dependent on industry.
More than one-third of the states job
losses were in the manufacturing sector
during the recession and its aftermath. But
manufacturing jobs are returning, the news-
paper said, and industry payrolls are grow-
ing again.
Data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic
Analysis show that in 2011, Ohio had about
52 out of 88 counties whose economies
were heavily dependent on manufacturing.
Counties are dependent on the manufactur-
ing industry if 20 percent or more of average
annual earnings come from the sector.
Nationally, only Indiana had more coun-
ties dependent on manufacturing.
Manufacturing driving growth in Ohio
DAYTON (AP) A
Dayton-based power com-
pany says a rate hike that
will amount to about $5 a
month for the average cus-
tomer is critical to its finan-
cial health.
The Dayton Power &
Light Co. pleaded its case
in a public hearing Tuesday
in which it got support and
criticism.
The company says the
increase would add up to
$600 million over five years.
Its critical because DP&L
is losing customers and rev-
enue.
The Dayton Daily News
reports that the request has
been criticized by industry
and the Ohio Consumers
Counsel. The Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio is
expected to make a deci-
sion on the request sometime
after March. Dayton Power
& Light serves more than
500,000 customers in 24
counties in western Ohio.

WASHINGTON
Driven by frustration over
deficits and debt, Republican
conservatives are pushing a
politically risky move to per-
mit painfully large automatic
spending cuts to strike the
Pentagon and domestic pro-
grams alike in an effort to
force Democrats into making
concessions on the budget.
Its a remarkable turnabout
from last year, when GOP
leaders were among the loud-
est voices warning of dire
consequences for the mili-
tary and the economy if more
than $100 billion worth of
across-the-board cuts were
allowed to take effect. Now,
even as defense hawks fume,
Republicans see the strate-
gy as their best chance of
wringing cuts from costly
government benefit programs
like Medicare that President
Barack Obama and his
Democratic allies have been
reluctant to touch.
The move is fraught with
risk. Some $43 billion would
be cut from the Pentagon
budget between March and
October if battling Democrats
and Republicans cant agree
on an alternative. Equal cuts
would hit domestic programs,
although the health care pro-
grams that are major drivers
of future deficits are largely
exempt.
In terms of the political
dynamic here, defense spend-
ing is only 20 percent of the
federal budget, but its tak-
ing 50 percent of the cuts,
which means its going to be
hitting the Republicans a lot
harder than the Democrats,
said defense analyst Loren
Thompson. Most of the
nations big military bases
and many of its defense facto-
ries are located in Republican
strongholds like the South,
so Republicans are hurting
themselves more than the
Democrats by insisting on
going forward with seques-
tration.
The automatic cuts,
known as a sequester in
Washington-speak, are the
penalty for the failures of the
2011 deficit supercommit-
tee and subsequent rounds
of budget talks to produce an
agreement.
Along with the threat-
ened expiration of Bush-era
tax cuts, the sequester was
a major element of the so-
called fiscal cliff crisis that
gripped the country as the
new year dawned. While
most of the tax cuts except
for upper-bracket income
were made permanent, nego-
tiators could only agree on
a two-month reprieve to the
sequester after finding $24
billion in replacement money
that reduced this years round
of cuts from $109 billion to
$85 billion. Eight more years
of cuts, totaling almost $1
trillion, still remain.
Last year, Republicans
issued dire warnings of the
impact the cuts would have.
Defense hawks like Sens.
John McCain, R-Ariz., and
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.,
made campaign tours in polit-
ical swing states like Virginia
and Florida lambasting the
cuts, warning that the reduc-
tions would hollow out the
Pentagon and cost many thou-
sands of jobs. They remind-
ed voters that the sequester
was an idea developed by
Democrats during 2011 nego-
tiations on increasing the gov-
ernments borrowing cap.
The White House is
responsible for the seques-
ter that threatens our national
security, House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, said
in September. History has
taught us we cant continue
with policies that jeopardize
our defenses or weaken our
economy.
So twice last year, House
Republicans passed legisla-
tion to replace this years
round of cuts with alterna-
tives like curbing the growth
of food stamps and requiring
federal workers to contribute
more to their pensions.
By CHRISTOPHER
S. RUGABER
WASHINGTON Most
economists agree that todays
snapshot of U.S. economic
growth is going to look dis-
mal. The consensus forecast
from Factset is economic
growth slowed sharply from
October through December
to an annual rate of 1.2 per-
cent. Thats down from a
3.1 percent rate in the July-
September quarter and would
be the slowest in nearly two
years.
Growth will probably
remain sluggish at the start of
the year because Americans
are coming to grips with an
increase in Social Security
taxes that has left them with
less take-home pay.
But economists are cau-
tioning that the Commerce
Department report may also
highlight underlying strengths
that could propel the economy
in the second half of 2013.
This is not as bad as it
looks, said Nigel Gault, an
economist at IHS Global
Insight, who is forecasting
a measly 0.3 percent expan-
sion in the fourth quarter. A
key reason economists are not
too worried is the weakness
was probably the result of a
number of one-time factors:
slower growth in stockpiles,
less government spending
and a wider trade gap.
Those factors likely off-
set faster growth in consumer
spending and the seventh
straight quarter in which
housing contributed to eco-
nomic growth. Businesses
may even have invested more
in equipment and software.
Overall, the economy prob-
ably expanded at a roughly 2
percent annual rate in the sec-
ond half of 2012 about the
same modest growth that has
occurred since the recession
ended three and a half years
ago. The subpar growth has
held back hiring. The econo-
my has created about 150,000
jobs a month, on average,
for the past two years. Thats
barely enough to reduce the
unemployment rate, which
has been 7.8 percent for the
past two months. Economists
forecast that unemployment
stayed at the still-high rate
again this month. The gov-
ernment releases the January
jobs report Friday. The big-
gest question going forward
is how consumers react to
the expiration of a Social
Security tax cut. Congress and
the White House allowed the
temporary tax cut to expire in
January, but reached a deal to
keep income taxes from ris-
ing on most Americans. The
tax increase will lower take
home pay this year by about 2
percent. That means a house-
hold earning $50,000 a year
will have about $1,000 less to
spend. A household with two
high-paid workers will have
up to $4,500 less.
Already, a key measure
of consumer confidence
plummeted this month after
Americans noticed the reduc-
tion in their paychecks, the
Conference Board reported
Tuesday.
And if consumer spend-
ing also fizzles, growth could
stay low in the January-
March quarter. Consumer
spending accounts for rough-
ly 70 percent of economic
activity. Complicating the
outlook are more budget
fights in Washington. A set
of across-the-board spending
cuts are scheduled to take
effect March 1 that Congress
and the White House would
like to replace with more tar-
geted cuts. The nations bor-
rowing limit will be reached
May 1 and will need to be
raised so that the government
can continue to pay its bills.
Uncertainty over how those
issues will be resolved could
drag on the economy into the
summer.
WASHINGTON More
than perhaps anyone else in
America, David Blankenhorn
personifies the struggle so
many have experienced over
same-sex marriage.
First he was agnostic, then
he was against it, now hes
for it.
This is to say that
Blankenhorn a long-stand-
ing opponent of same-sex
marriage has shifted his
energies to saving the institu-
tion of marriage, regardless of
whom one chooses as a mate.
If youre unfamiliar with
Blankenhorn, it is because he
hasnt been barking his posi-
tions on television the way
so many ideologues do. And
this may be because he is not
strictly an ideologue but one of
those rare people who agonize
in search of the right thing.
As creator of the Institute
for American Values,
Blankenhorn initially sought
to avoid the gay marriage
issue altogether because it was
so divisive and because
opposition necessarily meant
hurting friends and often,
family. Eventually, he wrote
a book against same-sex mar-
riage and testified against it as
Californias Proposition 8 was
challenged in court.
Then, last summer he
changed his mind.
Tuesday, Blankenhorn and
more than 70 diverse signa-
tories released a letter urging
Americans to end the gay-
marriage war and change the
question from Should gays
marry? to How can we save
marriage?
Joining Blankenhorn are
scholars, law professors,
theologians and journalists,
notably his former arch-rival
Jonathan Rauch. Whether one
is straight or gay, they say, the
challenge is to figure out how
to strengthen marriage for the
broader benefit to society.
Blankenhorns journey
through the marriage mine-
field parallels that of many
Americans who, though they
held no animosity toward
gays, werent sure that chang-
ing the institution of marriage
was in the best interest of
society.
Like Blankenhorn, my
greatest concern has been the
effect on our nations chil-
dren. The operative questions,
posed so well by tradition-
al marriage warrior Maggie
Gallagher, were: Do we want
to codify the notion that one
parent, either the mother or
father, is dispensable? And,
what effect might this have?
We have witnessed the
fallout from broken families
in the past several decades,
during which divorce and out-
of-wedlock births have sky-
rocketed. These trends have
been wrought not by expand-
ing the definition of marriage
but by a general lowering of
respect for the institution.
Blankenhorns group suggests
that given Americans evolv-
ing acceptance of same-sex
marriage, we should refocus
our energies on a goal that
transcends sexual orientation.
His groups focus is on the
disintegration of marriage in
the middle and lower classes,
which, they say, is creating a
new underclass of inequality.
As it happens, well-educated
people tend to stay married
in greater numbers, while the
less educated high school
and no college are becom-
ing a subculture of economi-
cally depressed, single-parent
families. Studies no longer
need to be cited to convince
us of what we know: Children
from such homes have a lousy
shot at the pursuit of happi-
ness.
Blankenhorn still believes,
as do most Americans, that
a child benefits most from
a loving mother and father
committed in marriage. The
United Nations Convention on
the Rights of the Child even
has designated this arrange-
ment as a right. Marriage,
Blankenhorn has written, is a
gift that society bestows on its
children.
But this gift has been badly
damaged or, too often these
days, withheld. Moreover,
many same-sex couples today
also have children. It is sim-
ply not possible to justify
offering societal protections
to only certain children. As
Blankenhorn has recognized,
it is in everyones best interest
that all children in all families
have the security of parents
committed through marriage
with all its attendant rights
and responsibilities.
In an op-ed last summer,
Blankenhorn expanded on his
vision:
Once we accept gay mar-
riage, might we also agree that
marrying before having chil-
dren is a vital cultural value
that all of us should do more
to embrace? he asked. Can
we agree that, for all lov-
ers who want their love to
last, marriage is preferable to
cohabitation?
Can we discuss whether
both gays and straight peo-
ple should think twice before
denying children born through
artificial reproductive tech-
nology the right to know and
be known by their biological
parents?
Now theres a feast for
thought.
Blankenhorns personal
transformation has resulted in
a welcome shift in the public
debate. How clever of him
to recognize that his allies in
strengthening marriage are the
very people who for so long
have been excluded.

WASHINGTON (AP)
The Senate overwhelmingly
confirmed President Barack
Obamas choice of five-term
Sen. John Kerry to be secre-
tary of state, with Republicans
and Democrats praising him as
the ideal successor to Hillary
Rodham Clinton.
The vote Tuesday was
94-3. One senator Kerry
voted present and accept-
ed congratulations from col-
leagues on the Senate floor.
The roll call came just hours
after the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee unani-
mously approved the man who
has led the panel for the past
four years. No date has been
set for Kerrys swearing-in,
but in a letter to Massachusetts
Gov. Deval Patrick, Kerry
says his resignation is effec-
tive at 4 p.m. Friday. The State
Departments plans a welcom-
ing ceremony for Kerry on
Monday.
Obama tapped Kerry, 69,
the son of a diplomat, dec-
orated Vietnam veteran and
2004 Democratic presidential
candidate, to succeed Clinton,
who is stepping down after
four years. The Massachusetts
Democrat, who had pined for
the job but was passed over in
2009, has served as Obamas
unofficial envoy, smoothing
fractious ties with Afghanistan
and Pakistan.
Sen. Kerry will need no
introduction to the worlds
political and military leaders
and will begin Day One fully
conversant not only with the
intricacies of U.S. foreign pol-
icy, but able to act on a multi-
tude of international stages,
said Sen. Bob Menendez,
D-N.J., who will succeed
Kerry as committee chairman.
Sen. Bob Corker of
Tennessee, the panels top
Republican, called Kerry a
realist who will deal with unrest
in Egypt, civil war in Syria, the
threat of al-Qaida-linked groups
in Africa and Irans pursuit of
nuclear weapons.

Daughter Susan steps in for mom
BY SUSAN
EICHER, age 17
Hi, I am Susan, I decided
to write for Mom this week.
My 17th birthday is tomorrow
the 24th so my treat to Mom
is to write the column for
her. I made monster cookies
yesterday. I wanted to have
some to treat everyone for
my birthday. I am
here at my babysit-
ting job. I brought
some cookies for
them too. The chil-
dren really like the
cookies. I think
monster cookies
are a treat for the
children especially
since they have
M & Ms in them.
Today I have only
the twins here. They are 2
years old and the girls name
is McKenzie and the boys
name is Cole. On Mondays
and Fridays I also have their
4-year-old brother, Hunter, to
babysit for. Hunter makes me
laugh. When nap time comes
he can really talk, thinking
I will forget about his nap.
They keep me busy but are
a joy to be around. They are
all very cute. McKenzie and
Cole are coloring in their
books while I am writing.
They think I am coloring too
because they wanted to color
when they saw me writing.
It has been a very cold
week so far. I dont drive the
ponies when it is this cold. I
have two more ponies here
to train. Sunny belongs to
my boyfriend Moses sisters
family. They want me to train
her for their little boys. He
is a miniature pony and is
doing well with the train-
ing so far. The other pony is
named Roxy and she is mine
now. Moses Dad gave her to
me. She did have some train-
ing before but is still really
rowdy. I need to keep work-
ing with her but she makes
me laugh at how stubborn she
can get.
This is Friday morn-
ing and I had a very nice
birthday yester-
day. Dad and
Mom went to the
funeral of Dads
cousins wife. She
lost her battle to
cancer. How sad
for the family. I
stayed home and
folded laundry,
washed dishes,
and cleaned up
the house. Around
2:30 Mose came and took
me along to town. He had
me pick out what I wanted
for my birthday. I picked
out a nice office chair which
I will have in my bedroom
by my desk. I will use it
a lot. I also picked out an
around the house toolkit.
Now Ill have my own set
of small tools if I need to fix
or hang something up. Mose
bought me a Dairy Queen
ice cream cake and brought
pizza home for the whole
family for supper. Mom and
Dad had returned from the
funeral by then. It was a
treat for everyone. Since we
didnt have to make supper
we had time to finish the
750-piece puzzle which we
started on Sunday afternoon.
It is oval shaped and has
deer on it. We got the puzzle
from a reader last Christmas.
It was fun to put it together.
Mom wants to do it together
because my brothers want it
hung in their bedroom.
Mose has two new nieces
that were born 5 days apart.
Last Friday evening, I went
with Mose and his familys
to meet his sister Pollys
new baby girl named Delilah
Louise. She is so sweet.
Tonight I am planning to go
with Mose to see his sis-
ter Hannahs baby girl name
Alissa Fern. Mose has 21
nieces and nephews, he has
six brothers and six sisters.
I will share the recipe I
used for the monster cookies.

DELPHOS Neither St.
Johns nor Lincolnview shot
the ball very well in their
girls non-conference clash
Tuesday night at Robert A.
Arnzen Gymnasium.
Nor could the visiting
Lady Lancers impose their
defensive will on the Lady
Blue Jays with their full- and
half-court pressure packages.
That allowed the hosts
to break their 5-game los-
ing streak and secure a 43-28
victory.
St. Johns mentor Dan J.
Grothouse credited his man-
to-man defense for the vic-
tory.
We got a lot done tonight
with our defense; we had a
lot more energy and activ-
ity tonight than weve had
in a while. They did miss a
lot of shots but Id like to
think we had something to do
with that, Grothouse noted.
We did give up some pen-
etration but we basically kept
them from getting really open
looks. We then basically gave
up one shot each time down,
so that helped us out.
The shooting was what
caught Lincolnview coach
Dan Williamsons eye.
We missed layups, we
missed free throws. We
missed what I felt were a lot
of good looks, he explained.
Credit St. Johns because
they were there to bother us.
We got into a hurry at times,
thinking the contact would
be there but wasnt. At some
point, you have to put the ball
in the basket. The Jays (7-9)
led from start to finish in this
one, thanks to senior Katie
Vorst (12 markers, 5 boards
despite fighting foul trouble)
netting nine points in the first.
She also got the lone big
girl for the visitors (13-5),
5-10 senior Kaitlin Brant, into
two early fouls by the 7:10
mark. She was done for the
rest of the half. Without her,
the Lancers had trouble stop-
ping the Jays, giving up 19
points on 7-of-13 shooting. A
high-low lob from freshman
Sydney Fischbach to junior
Erica Saine at the 53-sec-
ond mark gave the Jays a
19-9 edge before sophomore
Hannah McCleery off the
bench laid one in off the
glass in transition with 3.1
seconds to go for a 19-11
scoreboard.
The scoring pace slowed
down tremendously in the
second period, with both units
struggling from the field: the
Jays 1-of-10 (14-of-43 over-
all, 2-of-15 downtown, for
32.6%) versus Lincolnviews
2-of-6 (9-of-39 total, 1-of-8
3-balls, for 23.1%). Senior
Kaylee Thatcher (5:13) and
classmate Katie Dye (7 mark-
ers) at 4:10 provided bas-
kets for the visitors, while
Fischbach (8 boards) at 5:44
scored the only deuce for the
Jays. That accounted for a
21-15 halftime lead by the
home team.
Neither team scored for
the first 2:14 of the third peri-
od when an incident occurred,
with St. Johns senior Jessica
Recker (6 markers) being
slapped with an intentional
foul and Thatcher getting
nailed with a flagrant and
technical foul, being ejected
from the game. After that,
with McCleery hitting 1-of-
2 tosses and Vorst 2-of-4 as
a result, the Jays put more
distance between themselves
and their guests. Two Recker
throws at 5.2 ticks put them
up 31-21.
The closest the Lancers
could get in the fourth was
31-24 on a deuce by McCleery
(6 points, 8 boards) at the
7:10 mark; 1-of-12 shooting
from the field prevented them
from getting nearer. The Jays
then spent the rest of the quar-
ter extending their lead.
Grothouse was concerned
with his teams ability to
handle the various pressures
brought by the visitors.
I felt that was one key; we
had to handle their pressure.
We werent turning the ball
over, so that didnt lead them
to fast breaks, he added. At
the same time, we continue
to struggle for consistency on
offense. We had a great first
quarter but then had that one
really bad quarter that has
plagued us. I felt we were still
executing our offense well
but we just couldnt get shots
to drop consistently.
In sum, Lincolnview shot
a cold 9-of-22 at the line
(40.9%); secured 32 caroms
(8 offensive) as Brant and
Dye had five each; and added
16 fouls and 15 errors. They
host Ada Thursday.
Were definitely not the
same without Kaitlyn; she is
a physical presence in the
post. You saw what hap-
pened without her the first
quarter, Williamson added.
We settled down after that
and played good defense.
However, we couldnt turn
them over with our pressure;
weve relied on that a lot this
year and it affected us offen-
sively. It still came down to us
struggling shooting the ball.
St. Johns knocked down
13-of-22 singles (59.1%);
nabbed 36 off the glass (9
offensive) as Recker and
sophomore Rebekah Fischer
added five each; and amassed
12 errors and 16 fouls.
They host Marion Local
Thursday.
In junior varsity action,
Lincolnview freshman
Ashton Bowersock hit two
singles at 10.4 seconds to give
the Lancers (11-5) a 35-32
triumph.
Junior Christine Stemen
led the way with 11 markers.
Sophomore Colleen
Schulte netted 12 for the hosts
(6-9).

Lady Jays snap 5-game losing streak
With a height advantage versus Lincolnview Tuesday
night, St. Johns went inside to senior Katie Vorst for
plays like this; a deuce despite the defense of Lancers
Hannah McCleery and Kaylee Thatcher. The Jays went on
to a 15-point non-league triumph. (Delphos Herald/Tom

ELIDA The Lady Green
of Ottoville brought their
undefeated and #1 ranking in
Division IV
to Dawg
c o u n t r y
to take on
the Lady
Bulldogs of
Elida High
S c h o o l
T u e s d a y
night.
T h e
game was
never in
doubt as the Lady Green
outscored the Lady Bulldogs
40-14 in the first half and
cruised to a
63-42 non-
league vic-
tory.
B e f o r e
the opening
tip, the Lady
Bu l l d o g s
were intro-
duced to
the crowd
as each
player and
team manager were escorted
to mid-court by their parents
and each mom was given
a rose and hugs and thanks
were given all around.
The first quarter saw the
Lady Green look early and
often to senior twin towers
6-2 Abby Siefker and 6-0
Rachel Beining underneath
the basket. After an open-
ing basket by fellow senior
Nicole Vorst, Siefker and
Beining accounted for the
remaining 13 points in the
quarter for the Lady Green,
stretching their lead to 15-4
after one quarter of play. The
score could have been even
more lopsided if they would
have shot better in the quar-
ter. The visitors missed sever-
al point-blank shots in going
6-19 (32%) for the quarter.
The Lady Bulldogs of co-
head coaches Chrissy Billiter
and Elise Jenkins were shut
down early by the Lady Green
height and also were forced
into six quick turnovers in the
first quarter.
The second quarter found
the Lady Green totally tak-
ing control of the game as
they outscored the home
squad 25-10. Ottoville was
led by Siefker with 10 points
in the quarter and 19 for the
half. Vorst and Beining added
four points apiece and juniors
Taylor Mangas and Kendra
Eickholt added five and two
p o i n t s ,
respective-
ly.
T h e
D a w g s
tallied 10
points in
the second
quarter and
14 for the
half behind
four points
each from
senior Osha Owens, junior
Torie McAdams and junior
Cassidy Slusher.
Ottoville coach Dave
Kleman was happy with his
teams first-half performance:
I just thought we did a real
nice job in the first half with
our game plan. We built a
nice lead and were able to get
a lot of girls into the game
and experiment a little bit
tonight. We played everybody
tonight and that was nice to
be able to reward all the girls
for their hard work. I thought
we executed well tonight and
this is the time of year you
want to be doing that.
The second half saw the
Lady Bulldogs come out with
a little more confidence and
desire as they took it right to
the Lady Green and outscored
them in the third quarter of
play, 12-11. The Bulldogs got
all their points in the stan-
za from sophomore Sabrina
Kline (7 points) and Owens (5
points). The Lady Green had
another cold shooting quarter
as they went 5-16 (31%) from
the field and committed five
turnovers.
With the game not in
doubt, both teams started to
empty their respective bench-
es as again the Bulldogs out-
scored the Big Green by a
16-12 margin; however, it
was too little to overcome the
first-half deficit as the Lady
Green rolled to a 63-42 win.
The Lady Bulldogs (7-11)
were led in scoring by Owens
with 15 points, followed by
Slusher with eight and Kline
with seven. They shot 18-49
(37%) from the field and 2-3
(67%) from the stripe. The
home team brought down 20

Cougar grapplers
fall in tuneup
By BRIAN BASSETT
DHI Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT - The Van
Wert Cougar wrestling team
hosted the Shawnee Indians
at the Cougars Den Tuesday
evening, in the final tuneup
before the Western Buckeye
League championships
Saturday.
The Cougars fell to the
visiting Indians 46-33 but
took voids in the 106, 113,
120 and 170-pound weight
classes.
If you look at it a little bit
closer, out of the 10 matches
we contested, we won six.
If we dont give up those 18
points in forfeits, its a ball-
game; we would have ended
up coming close to winning,
if not winning, said Van
Wert coach Ben Collins.
Along with the three
voids at the bottom, Andy
Hammond (126), Jacob
Crisenbery (132), Quinton
Rutkowski (138) and Ryan
Stoller (145) each fell. From
the 152-pound class and up,
however, the Cougars went
6-1 with the void at 170.
The kids wrestled well.
We knew we didnt match
up really well down low -
we had freshman on their
seniors. They didnt match up
well with us at the top; that
evened things out, continued
Collins.
Senior Jordan Daniels
moved from the 170-pound
spot to 182 and recorded a
pin.
We pulled a move there
at 170 and 182 to get us six
more points. Technically, we
gave up 24 points to them (in
forfeits), Collins explained.
The highlight of the night
was the four Cougar seniors
each pinning their opponents.
The four seniors: Daniel
Thompson (152), Jordan
Daniels, Colten Royer (160)
and Terrin Contreras (285),
all won by fall. So we got 24
of our 33 points there. Royer
was up 6-0 and pinned his
kid. Daniels was up 15-0 and
pinned his kid. Terrin got a
quick takedown and a fall.
So, they came out ready to
wrestle and did a great job,
explained Collins.
Thompson fell behind 8-2
in his match before revers-
ing his opponent and pinning
him.
Gabe Hill picked up a win
for Van Wert in the 195-pound
class and Zack Thomas won
the 220-pound weight class
bout.
Now the Cougar focus
shifts to Saturday.
Right now were sitting
in the middle somewhere.
Were 4-5 in (WBL) dual
meets. If you look at three of
them, it came down to those
forfeit points. If we could
turn it around and flip it,
then were in the running for
a league title, Collins said.
Individually, I think weve
got a good shot to place in the
middle, maybe in the upper
half. Not having a full line-
up is going to hurt us again
because it is a small tourna-
ment. There will be kids there
who are picking up points
who probably wouldnt if it
was a full tournament.
Contreras won the 285-
pound WBL championship
last season and will be the
early favorite again. The sea-
son has been a milestone one
for Contreras, who picked up
his 100th win last week and
the falls record earlier this
season.
He got the 100 wins and
hes got a bunch of pins,
added Collins. Hes well
over 100 wins now and hes
in the mid-80s with pins,
which is kind of impressive
because for his sophomore
and junior year, he split a lot
of time in dual meets with
Jimmy Hardman, so he didnt
get as many matches as he
could have. Hes in a position
now where he could get the
single season falls record.
Royer is nearing the 100-
win mark as well and Collins
explained that having a tour-
nament cancelled in Celina
last weekend hurt him in pur-
suit of the milestone.
Though the other two
seniors arent as decorated,
Collins and the Cougars
expects much from them,
starting this weekend in Elida.

NHL GLANCE
By HOWARD FENDRICH
NEW ORLEANS Of all
the topics Baltimore Ravens
linebacker Ray Lewis wanted
to talk about at Super Bowl
media day, deer-antler spray
probably was not on the list.
He declined to directly
address in any detail Tuesday
questions about a Sports
Illustrated report that he
sought help from a company
that makes the unorthodox
product to speed his recov-
ery from a torn right triceps.
Lewis was the NFLs leading
tackler in the playoffs after
missing 10 regular-season
games with the injury.
The company, Sports With
Alternatives To Steroids
(SWATS), says its deer-antler
substance contains a banned
performance-enhancer con-
nected to human growth hor-
mone.
The 37-year-old Lewis,
who has announced he will
retire after playing against
the San Francisco 49ers in
Sundays Super Bowl, dis-
missed the report as stupid-
ity.
Sport Illustrated report-
ed that SWATS owner
Mitch Ross recorded a call
with Lewis hours after the
player hurt his arm in an
October game against Dallas.
According to the report,
Lewis asked Ross to send him
deer-antler spray and pills,
along with other products
made by the company.
The magazine also wrote
that when it spoke to Lewis
for its story, he acknowledged
asking Ross for some more
of the regular stuff on the
night of the injury and that he
has been associated with the
company for a couple years
through Hue Jackson.
Jackson is a former
Ravens quarterbacks coach
and later head coach of the
Oakland Raiders. Two years
ago he stopped endorsing
SWATS because his ties to the
company violated NFL rules.
That was a 2-year-old
story that you want me to
refresh so I wont even
speak about it, Lewis said
Tuesday. Because Ive been
in this business 17 years and
nobody has ever got up with
me every morning and trained
with me. Every test Ive ever
took in the NFL theres
never been a question of if I
ever even thought about using
anything. So to even entertain
stupidity like that.
The NFL didnt immedi-
ately respond to a request for
comment and NFL Players
Association spokesman
George Atallah declined com-
ment.
Baltimore coach John
Harbaugh said he found out
about the SI story during
the teams bus ride to the
Superdome for media day.
I have not talked to
Ray about that personally,
Harbaugh said. What I
do know about that is Ray
has worked incredibly and
extremely hard to get back, so
I hate to see anything dimin-
ish the work ethic that hes
put in to get to where he is
right now. And my under-
standing is Ray has passed
every random, you know,
substance test that hes taken
throughout the course of his
whole career. So theres never
been a test thats shown up
anything along those lines.
All in all, the topic only
added to what already was
a week filled with plot lines
connected to Lewis.
There is the largely reha-
bilitated image of a man who
pleaded guilty to obstruction
of justice in connection with
a double murder after a Super
Bowl party at an Atlanta
nightclub in 2000. There is
the impending retirement, a
self-titled last ride for a
player widely considered one
of the top defenders in NFL
history and the Super Bowl
MVP in 2001.
And there is his recov-
ery from what was originally
thought to be a season-ending
injury.
When I tore my tricep,
the doctor looked at me after
I went in the office and she
told me that I was out for
the year. And I said, Doc,
are you sure? I said, Nah.
I said, Doc, theres no way
Im going to be out for the
year with just a torn tricep,
Lewis added with a laugh.
I said, Ive been through
way worse. She was like,
Ray, nobodys never come
back from this. I said, Well,
nobodys ever been Ray
Lewis, either.
Is flag football ahead for NFL?
Making the game safer is making NFL
players unsure whats a legal hit.
Players on both Super Bowl teams
say they are confused about which hits
are considered clean and which ones
could lead to a fine. And its not just the
guys on defense who are wondering
about the future of pro football.
I think the rules will change a
lot, San Francisco 49ers tight end
Vernon Davis said. Theres already
no helmet-to-helmet. Might be flag
football, maybe.
Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard
Pollard, one of the leagues hardest
hitters, warned against trying to take
collisions out of the game, as long as
they are clean.
You cant play this game and not
expect it to be physical, said Pollard,
who was fined $15,250 for a hit on
Patriots receiver Wes Welker in the
AFC championship game that Pollard
believes was within the rules. There
will be injuries in football. Theres a car
crash on every play.
His 49ers counterpart, All-Pro
Dashon Goldson, says defenders keep
this in mind when they take the field:
Do your best and then hope you dont
get a letter (with a fine) in your locker
on Wednesday.
The NFL has sought to eliminate
any hits to the head and neck area
of defenseless players, particularly
in the last three years. It also has
banned players launching themselves
helmet-first toward an opponent. Yet,
every week, players are fined for those
actions and there have been suspen-
sions. Baltimore safety Ed Reed drew
a 1-game suspension this season that
was lifted by the NFL on appeal and
turned into a $50,000 fine for repeated
illegal tackles. The 5-11, 205-pound
Reed is not considered a vicious hitter.
Reed admits he cant be sure
whats a true tackle these days and
what crosses the line.
A lot needs to be done with it.
I dont think every fine is right, he
added. You have to go back and
really look at how guys play the game
before you judge them, is what Im
trying to say.
While still recognizing the impor-
tance of keeping games as safe as
possible, defensive players have com-
plained for years about the leagues
crackdown on hits. The 49ers and
Ravens have two of the most physi-
cal defenses in the NFL and they are
proud of their violent nature. You
cant play timid, Goldson added. But
even offensive players concede that
defenses are at a disadvantage to the
point of confusion.
Baltimores Anquan Boldin, one of
the more physical wide receivers in the
league, doesnt feel sorry for anyone
trying to tackle him. But he under-
stands their plight as they close in.
All defensive players have to deal
with that, Boldin said. Its tough on
defensive players on those defense-
less receiver calls because they come
in and then the receiver drops his
shoulder and they hit in the (head).
And they get a penalty. So maybe
they arent sure and thats bad. This
game is played too fast to worry about
that but they do have to worry.
The NFL isnt going to back down
on its emphasis on player safety, of
course. It is facing at least 175 lawsuits
as more than 3,800 players have sued
the league over head injuries as the
concussion issue has gained atten-
tion in recent years. The total number
of plaintiffs is 6,000 when spouses,
relatives and other representatives are
included.
So the emphasis on eliminating
what Ray Anderson, the leagues main
disciplinarian, calls egregious fouls
will remain.
We will just not let up, Anderson
told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Get used to it; this will be our mantra:
We have an obligation in being relent-
less in protecting our players.
If they are in a defenseless posi-
tion, hitting in the helmet is unneces-
sary. We said player health and safety
is our No. 1 priority from the get-go and
we have stuck to it with no apologies
and no defensive attitude about it.
Meantime, as offenses make
scoreboards spin with record numbers
of points, defenses try to figure out
exactly what they are allowed to do.
We are guys who are supposed to
hit, said 49ers safety Donte Whitner,
who is known for his bone-crunching
tackles. We have to bring the ele-
ment of fear when they come over the
middle. We want receivers to think do
you really want to keep coming over
the middle time and time again.
We need to make sure they dont
want to but we need to do it the right
way. But we need to figure out the
right way.
Flacco no fan of cold-weather
Super Bowl: Baltimore Ravens quar-
terback Joe Flacco apologized for his
word selection in criticizing the NFLs
decision to hold next years Super
Bowl in an outdoor stadium at a cold-
weather site.
On Monday, Flacco was asked
about the game being played at
MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
I think its retarded. I probably
shouldnt say that. I think its stupid,
he said.
On Tuesday, he was contrite.
Obviously, it was a poor choice
of words, he explained. At home, I
have a close relationship with Special
Olympics. I didnt mean to offend any-
one.
Flacco would like nothing more
than to return to the Super Bowl next
year, even if it might be in freezing
conditions for the first time. Its in his
home state to boot.
The fifth-year pro from Audubon,
N.J., preparing for Sundays Super
Bowl against the 49ers, is not a fan
of playing the next big game in East
Rutherford.
I think its obvious reasons,
Flacco added. Theyve done it the
way theyve been doing it for 47 years.
Theres a lot that goes into this game,
more than just playing the game: Its
about the fans and its about the play-
ers that played for the right to get
there. There are a lot of things that go
into it and its just kind of a crazy deci-
sion, I believe.
NFL Honors: Celebrity present-
ers for NFL Honors, the TV show fea-
turing The Associated Press awards,
will include Steve Carell and Channing
Tatum.
The program will air Saturday
night, Super Bowl eve, from 9-11 p.m.
EST on CBS, which also is televising
the game on Sunday.
Other presenters will include
Connie Britton, Jason Clarke, Josh
Charles, Craig Ferguson, Nina Dobrev,
Jeremy Renner, Olivia Munn and Zoe
Saldana.
The AP will present the leagues
MVP, Coach of the Year, Comeback
Player of the Year, Offensive and
Defensive Players of the Year, and
Offensive and Defensive Rookies of
the Year during NFL Honors.
Actor Alec Baldwin will host the
show, which will feature live perfor-
mances from One Republic and New
Orleans natives The Soul Rebels.
Necklace? What necklace?
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was asked
about the necklace he wears on the
sideline during games that includes a
Sharpie. He seemed taken aback.
Well I take great offense that you
call it a necklace. Its a whistle, he
said with a smile, drawing laughs from
the media. Its a coaches whistle that
coaches have long worn around their
neck. I believe every coach should
have a whistle. Its hard to imagine
going out to practice without a whistle.
Then I just put a pen onto the
whistle string. Its not complicated at
all. If I need a pen, its just right there.
Moss wants more: Last week, the
Ravens Ed Reed said he plans to be
back for another season. On Tuesday,
the 49ers Randy Moss said he wants
to come back, too.
One of the first questions Moss
was asked when the 49ers kicked off
Super Bowl media day Tuesday was
whether Sundays game would be the
final one of his 14-year, 5-team, poten-
tial Hall-of-Fame career.
Ive thought about it, the 35-year-
old Moss replied, I do want to play
another year.
Moss has seen limited playing time
this season with 28 catches for 434
yards and three TDs, plus five catches
for 71 yards in the playoffs.
The 34-year-old Reed promised to
be playing next year, ending specula-
tion he was about to call it a career.
Reed, a 9-time Pro Bowler and prob-
able Hall-of-Famer, is finishing his 11th
season and was one of only two play-
ers on the Ravens defense to start all
16 regular-season games. He has a
club-record 61 interceptions and the
NFL-record of 1,541 yards in intercep-
tion returns.
Never tuckered out: Ravens
kicker Justin Tucker was extremely
patient telling every single person just
how much it means to be an undrafted
rookie in the Super Bowl.
Even the guy who asked him to
answer a series of questions in hash
tags, Twitter-style.
In Twitter hash tags? All right, lets
try it out, Tucker responded to the odd
request in a day full of them.
Being at the Super Bowl? Hash
tag, awesome.
Beyonce Knowles? Hash tag,
awesome.
Destinys Child reunion? I mean,
hash tag, awesomer, I guess. Thats a
pretty good group.
Winning the Super Bowl? Hash
tag, unbelievable.
Maryland connection: The
University of Maryland has produced
several notable NFL quarterbacks,
including Boomer Esiason, Frank
Reich and Neil ODonnell.
The quality of quarterbacks in
College Park hasnt been up to that
standard lately but there will be two
Terrapins with solid hands playing in
the Super Bowl.
Davis will start for San Francisco
and wide receiver Torrey Smith is start-
ing for Baltimore.
Hes one of the greatest Terps,
Smith said of Davis. Hes a great guy
and we hang out in the offseason.
This isnt for bragging rights.
Were not really playing against
each other since were on the same
side of the ball, Smith said. And so,
either way, the University of Maryland
wins.

NEW YORK Alex Rodriguez
was ensnared in a doping investi-
gation once again Tuesday when
an alternative weekly newspaper
reported baseballs highest-paid
star was among a half-dozen
players listed in records of a
Florida clinic the paper said sold
performance-enhancing drugs.
The Miami New Times report-
ed the 3-time AL MVP bought
human growth hormone and
other performance-enhancing
substances during 2009-12 from
Biogenesis of America LLC, a
now-closed anti-aging clin-
ic in Coral Cables, Fla., near
Rodriguezs offseason home.
The new public relations firm
for the New York Yankees third
baseman issued a statement
denying the allegations.
The newspaper wrote it

2005 AL Cy Young Award winner
Bartolo Colon and 2011 AL cham-

SANTO DOMINGO,
Dominican Republic Los
Angeles Angels slugger Albert
Pujols says he hopes to play
for the Dominican Republic after
the second round of the World
Baseball Classic.
The first baseman and 3-time
NL MVP had arthroscopic surgery
on his right knee in October. He
would need special permission
from the Angels to take part in the
Classic. Pujols told a Dominican
radio show that the Angels sup-
port him in his goal to play for his
Caribbean homeland during the
international competition.
He said Tuesday: Thats why
I had the operation in October, to
be ready for the Classic.
Pujols says hes working
to strengthen his right leg and
expects to be in good condition
for the start of spring training.
Pujols hit .285 with 30 homers
in his first season with the Angels.
ANAHEIM, Calif. The Los
Angeles Angels and reliever
Kevin Jepsen have agreed to a
1-year contract worth $1,181,000,
avoiding arbitration with the hard-
throwing right-hander.
The Angels announced the
deal Tuesday night.
Jepsen went 3-2 with a 3.02
ERA last year, returning to an
important role in the Angels bull-
pen after missing much of the
2011 season with a knee injury.
He has been a steady presence
in Los Angeles bullpen for the
past four seasons.
Jepsen asked for $1.4 mil-
lion in arbitration and was offered
$975,000. He made $501,000 in
2012. Los Angeles has settled
with all its arbitration-eligible
players, although third base-
man Alberto Callaspos deal is
still pending a physical. PRO

he called himself the greatest

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Notre
Dame linebacker Manti Teo didnt
show any signs of being affected
by the girlfriend hoax leading up

indicates it may have taken a toll,
coach Brian Kelly said.
Hindsight is 20-20. I didnt
think going into the game he was
affected by it. But he didnt play
his best. Alabama had something
to do with that, clearly. But I really
dont know, Kelly said.
Its a lot to weigh on the
shoulders of somebody. I think we
can make the leap that maybe it
did. But I think Manti would know
for sure.
Teo said in an interview with
ESPN after the news of the hoax
broke that it did not affect his
performance in the title game
blowout.
Kelly spoke to reporters
Tuesday by conference call
for the first time since the Irish
were beaten 42-14 by Alabama

On the evening news last
night, one of the commer-
cials ended with, If youre
between the ages of 50 and
75, you may be eligible ...,
and I started to laugh.
Who else do they think is
watching the evening news?
Teenagers? Newlyweds? Or
do I repeat myself? How else
could you explain all the
commercials for Cialis, face-
lifts, hearing aids, AARP,
understanding Medicare,
vitamins just for men, vita-
mins just for women, hair dye
and mature singles dating
services that run between the
stories about the national debt
and the Mideast car bomb o
the day?
And how many times do
they think people between
the ages of 50 and 75 have
to see the same ad before it
gets results? Fifty? Seventy-
five? Three hundred and six-
ty-five? Infinity? Is there a
man alive who needs Cialis
who hasnt heard about it?
If hes that out of touch, hes
probably not dating on the
Internet, either.
Its like all those beer
ads during the Super Bowl
-- what do advertisers think
most of the fans are drink-
ing already? Do they really
have to spend a million dol-
lars a second to sell viewers
something they already have
in their hands? Do they think
beer drinkers are that stupid?
Yes, they do.
Maybe the nightly news
gets older viewers only
because of the ads. To anyone
younger than 50, the com-
mercials are a peek into their
future at Hip Replacement
Village, which scares them
silly.
For all my complaining,
the good news is that we
can get hip replacements and
face-lifts and Cialis. In the
old days, you had to play the
cards you were dealt. No lon-
ger. Bad liver? Get a new one.
Dont like your face? Get a
new one.
Not long ago, my wife
bought an old photo album
at a garage sale that was
full of newspaper clippings
of the doings in our town
60 years ago. As she flipped
through the yellowed pages,
she stopped and asked me to
look at a photo of a group of
women. There were about 20
of them, some kind of club,
the front row sitting and the
back row standing.
How old do you think
they are? she asked.
Sensing that it might be
one of those trick questions
Sue asks that always make
me look stupid and foolish --
like asking when Im going to
clean out my office right after
Ive cleaned out my office,
or have I forgotten to gas up
the car again, or whose turn
is it to wash the dog -- I took
my time looking at the photo,
because they can be hard to
interpret.
Every now and then, Ill
read a true story about some
famous figure in history, a
person described as a great
beauty or as devilishly hand-
some, and then Ill turn the
page and look at the photo-
graph and cringe. The guys
hair is plastered to his head
with bear grease, yet part of
it manages to pop up and curl
around in an unattractive way.
His eyes look beady because
the camera flash washed out
his eyebrows, and his clothes
look ratty. Theres an expres-
sion on his face that screams
Why am I here? because
they told him not to move
or blink for 30 seconds, and
whatever you do, dont smile.
I look at this old portrait and
wonder, If thats good-look-
ing, what was stone-cold ugly
back then?
I looked the group of
women again.
Im guessing about 75.
Sue took her hand off the
caption. The oldest woman in
the group was 55, the young-
est, 42. Even overlooking the
long-unfashionable clothing
and the dated hairstyles, they
looked worn out long before
their time. No doubt a similar
picture of a group of men
would have fooled me, too.
It was a time before pace-
makers, hip and knee replace-
ments, laser eye surgery -- all
this wonderful stuff that can
make us feel young again.
But can a hip replacement
make our faces look younger?
Or are we just smiling more
when they take our photo-
graphs?

THE DELPHOS HERALD

PUTTING YOUR
WORLD IN
PERSPECTIVE
By GREG BEACHAM
LOS ANGELES Kobe
Bryant and the Los Angeles
Lakers really think theyre
on to something, even if its
nothing revolutionary. Theyre
gaining confidence in
their newfound attitude
and approach with each
victory theyre produc-
ing.
Not even a fantas-
tic fourth-quarter rally
by the New Orleans
Hornets could shake
Kobes conviction that
the Lakers have finally
figured out a few things
about their puzzling
season.
Dwight Howard scored 24
points, Bryant had 14 points
and 11 assists in another pass-
first performance and the
Lakers hung on to beat New
Orleans 111-106 Tuesday night
for their first 3-game winning
streak in five weeks.
Earl Clark had 20 points
and 12 rebounds for the
Lakers (20-25), who jumped
to an 18-point lead midway
through the fourth quarter with
their third straight game of
patient passing and hard-nosed
defense quarterbacked by
Bryant. The fifth-leading scor-
er in NBA history has warmly
embraced his new role as a
playmaker no surprise for
somebody whose first basket-
ball muse was Magic Johnson.
Its working pretty well,
said Bryant, whose 39 assists
in the Lakers last three games
are the biggest 3-game total
of his 17-season career. Its
very easy for me to look over
the defense and know where
theyre coming from, just kind
of line my guys up in the right
way and just pick them apart.
With Bryant running the
show, the Lakers even sur-
vived a frenetic finish. Their
lead dwindled to 102-101 with
2 minutes left shortly after an
electric 16-2 run in a 2 1/2
minute stretch by the Hornets
but Clark hit a layup and Steve
Nash calmly buried a 3-pointer
with 1:21 left to clinch Los
Angeles ninth straight win
over New Orleans.
Nash had 12 points and five
assists, while Antawn Jamison
scored 16 points. Four-time
All-Star Pau Gasol had seven
points, seven rebounds and
seven assists as a reserve in
the Lakers final home game
before a 7-game trip, their
longest of the season, while
the Grammy Awards take over
Staples Center.
The trip should be daunt-
ing for the Lakers, who
have lost 15-of-20 on the
road this season, includ-
ing seven straight since
Christmas. Instead,
theyre optimistic about
trying out their new
approach in a hostile
environment.
Were doing a good
job of not being self-
ish and of doing what-
ever we can to help our
team win, Howard said.
Things are clicking for us.
Our offense is a lot smoother
and on defense, were really
holding each other account-
able.
Sounds simple but the
Lakers have rarely looked this
good in their complex season.
Eric Gordon scored 18 of
his 25 points in the first half for
the Hornets, who got within
one point on Greivis Vasquezs
running jumper.
Ryan Anderson scored 11
of his 16 points in the fourth
quarter for the Hornets, who
had won eight out of 12, includ-
ing an impressive victory in
Memphis two nights earlier at
the start of their 5-game trip.
Anderson, Vasquez and Robin
Lopez led the impressive late
rally that just fell short, with
Lopez finishing with 16 points
and nine rebounds.
Were a young team thats
still building chemistry and to
come back like that is a really
good confidence boost for the
guys, said Gordon, a Staples
Center favorite in his career
with the Clippers. We had a
chance to win. We were getting
a lot of stops and were scoring
at will. It just boiled down to
the final plays.
Rookie Anthony Davis had
18 points for the Hornets, who
havent beaten the Lakers at
Staples Center since January
2009.
Bryant reached new statisti-
cal heights in his revamped
role, racking up 10 assists in
three straight games for just the
fifth time in his career and the
first time in four years. Bryant
also had eight rebounds, falling
just short of a triple-double for
the third straight game.
Two days after beating
Oklahoma City in impressive
fashion, the Lakers got right
back to their improved form
in the first half, holding the
Hornets scoreless for 7:41
spanning the first two quarters
with a 17-0 run.
NOTES: The Hornets brutal road
trip began in Tennessee and will even-
tually take them to Minnesota for their
fourth game in five nights on Saturday.
Theyll be at Utah on Wednesday
night. Steve Blake had two points
and four assists in the veteran guards
first appearance for the Lakers since
Nov. 11. He had missed the Lakers
past 37 games with an abdominal
injury that required surgery and result-
ing groin problems. The Lakers
missed four free throws in less than 1
second of clock time midway through
the third quarter. After Howard missed
two, Gasol grabbed the rebound and
got fouled without the clock moving
but Gasol then missed two as well.
Clark collected that rebound but threw
it past Bryant for a backcourt violation.
TRAIL BLAZERS 106,
MAVERICKS 104
PORTLAND, Ore. LaMarcus
Aldridge hit a turnaround jumper at the
final buzzer as Portland came back
from a 21-point third-quarter deficit to
beat Dallas. Aldridge finished with 29
points and 13 rebounds for the Trail
Blazers, who trailed 101-94 with 2:18
left. J.J. Hickson had a season-high 26
points and 15 rebounds. After Wesley
Matthews made two free throws to pull
Portland to 101-98 with 52 seconds
to go, Nicolas Batums 3-pointer tied
the score.
Dirk Nowitzki answered with his
own 3 with before Aldridge had a 3
to tie it at 104 with 4.9 seconds left.
O.J. Mayo was called for charging
with 1.5 seconds to go and Aldridge
hit his jumper after the inbound from
Matthews with 0.2 seconds left for the
victory.
Dirk Nowitzki finished with 26
points for Dallas, which had won six of
its last eight games.
BUCKS 117, PISTONS 90
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Brandon
Jennings scored 20 of his 30 points in
the third quarter, leading Milwaukee
past Detroit.
Mike Dunleavy had 17 points and
Monta Ellis added 14 for the Bucks,
who led by as much as 29 points.
Rookie Andre Drummond had 18
points and 18 rebounds for Detroit,
while Greg Monroe scored 14 points.
Drummond became just the second
teenager to have an 18-18 game since
1985-86, joining Dwight Howard.
The Pistons led by 15 points late in
the first quarter, were outscored 78-40
over the next 25 minutes.
WARRIORS 108, CAVALIERS 95
CLEVELAND Klay Thompson
scored a career-high 32 points to lead
short-handed Golden State.
The Warriors were missing three
starters guard Stephen Curry
(ankle), center Andrew Bogut (ankle)
and forward Harrison Barnes (knee).
Also, Carl Landry, one of the first play-
ers off Golden States bench, didnt
play because of a shoulder injury.
Still, Golden State shot 54 percent
and was 11-for-16 on 3-pointers, hit-
ting the first nine from beyond the arc.
Golden State took control in the sec-
ond quarter and built a 16-point lead in
the second half.
Jarrett Jack, starting at point guard
in place of Curry, had 26 points and 12
assists; David Lee had 20 points and
13 rebounds.
Lakers edge Hornets 111-
106 for 3rd straight win
(Continued from Page 6)
made another 3-pointer and
Emily Bauer got two layups to
give Crestview a 21-11 lead.
Antwerp got two got foul
shots from Alexis Jones but
the Lady Knights countered
with another layup from Bauer
to keep the advantage at 10
and send the score into the
intermission with the Lady
Knights leading 23-13.
The Lady Archers got two
3-pointers to start the second
half, one from Jones and the
other one from Avrial Sawyer.
After two more made foul
shots from Jones, the Lady
Knight lead was cut to 28-21.
Crestview got two got foul
shots from Bauer and a layup
from Mariah Henry to push its
advantage up to 32-21.
Sawyer sank another
3-pointer before the end of
the third quarter but unfortu-
nately for Antwerp, Crowle
got fouled and knocked down
both foul shots to make the
score going into the final peri-
od 34-24, Lady Knights.
Crestview started the fourth
stanza with a 6-0 run, includ-
ing four points from Bauer
and two from Motycka. The
Lady Archers called a time-
out with 6:14 left; out of the
break, Cheyenne Miller-Sweet
made a basket to cut the defi-
cit to 40-26. After the hoop,
Crestview went on a 9-2 run
to push the advantage up to
49-28. The Lady Knights got
four points from Motycka and
two from Henry. Antwerp fin-
ished the game on an 8-0 run,
getting four points from Kaiya
Jemison and four points from
Jones, but it was not enough.
Jones led all scorers on
the night with 17 points. The
Lady Knights had two girls
in double figures: Bauer had
15 points and Motycka added
in 12.
Well, I thought we got off
to a slow start; I dont think
we played with the intensity
that we need to. No matter
who you are playing, youve
got to come out and play
your game and play hard,
said Crestview coach Greg
Rickard. I thought we didnt
play with a sense of urgency
or very intensely in the first
half. Offensive, we were able
to score a few points in the
second half and defensively,
thats something that we need
to continue to grow at the
defensive end.
The Lady Knights improve
their overall record to 16-1 on
the year. The Lady Archers
drop to 3-14 on the season.
Overall, I thought we did
a pretty decent job. We missed
a few boxouts and then we had
a killer of about a 4- or 5-min-
ute stretch in the third quar-
ter where we just kept turn-
ing the ball over, which has
been biting us all year, said
Antwerp coach Kevin Taylor.
It is something that has been
bothering us all year and we
are kind of thin on players and
it takes a toll on us. Overall, I
thought the girls battled hard
and, hey, Crestview is a pretty
good team.

DEAR BRUCE: My
stepmother died unexpect-
edly last month. She had two
stepdaughters, a stepson and
a brother as her sole survi-
vors.
After going through her
belongings, we could not find
a will. Two weeks prior, she
set up an annuity naming her
brother, my sister and me as
the beneficiaries. My aunt,
who lived near my stepmoth-
er, told me that my stepmoth-
er had a friend living with her
up to her death and that she
had just purchased a lockbox.
The box could not be found,
and we suspect her friend
took it, along with some of
her other belongings. Is there
any way we can find out if
she did create a will?
Also, my aunt told me
to take my stepmothers two
vehicles, since there was no
need to just leave them on the
property, which was rented.
How can I get these vehicles
titled over to me? I have the
titles, but they are made out to
my father, who died six years
earlier, and my stepmother,
plus I live in Kansas and she
lived in Missouri.
Her brother did not file
for probate, so Im not sure
what to do. This ordeal has
really made me aware of how
important it is to not only
have a will, but to also let
someone you trust be aware
of where it is and what your
wishes are. -- A.P., Spring
Hill, Kan.
DEAR A.P.: Sorting out
the situation may take a bit
of doing.
If there is no will, your
stepmother died intestate. If I
read your letter correctly, her
brother would be her closest
living relative, and he would
be the appropriate person to
apply to the surrogates court
to be made administrator of
her estate.
Once the court appoints
her brother as administrator,
he can sort out the estate, per-
haps with the help of you and
the other stepchildren. That
assumes the brother is able
and that the others do not kick
up a fuss.
If, however, he is absolute-
ly unwilling to be the admin-
istrator, you could apply to
the probate court, given that
you are a stepdaughter. The
court likely would contact the
other people you mentioned,
and if there were no objec-
tions, you could be appointed.
If youre willing to step in
and try to sort this out, I con-
gratulate you.
There is a lot of hearsay,
such as whether your step-
mother had a lockbox with a
will in it. Who knows what
her friend did or did not do or
was instructed to do by your
stepmother.
I dont see how the cars
can be transferred to any-
one until an administrator is
appointed. The fact that you
and your stepmother live in
different states is of no great
consequence.
As I have said many times
in my column and as you
point out, it is important to
have a will and have your
wishes clearly spelled out. If
they change in some way, you
can have a codicil added to
your will. And unless some-
one knows where the original
will has been kept, you are
usually out of luck.

SEATTLE Wanted: A
green thumb with extensive
knowledge of the black, or at
least gray, market.
As Washington state tries
to figure out how to regu-
late its newly legal mari-
juana, officials are hiring an
adviser on all things weed:
how its best grown, dried,
tested, labeled, packaged and
cooked into brownies.
Those angling for the job
were expected to learn more
today in Tacoma. The state
Liquor Control Board, the
agency charged with devel-
oping rules for the marijuana
industry, reserved a conven-
tion center hall with a capac-
ity of 275 people plus
an overflow room for its
bidding experts to take ques-
tions about the position and
the hiring process.
The Liquor Control
Board has a long and a very
good history with licensing
and regulation. We know it
and know how to do it well,
said spokesman Mikhail
Carpenter. But there are
some technical aspects with
marijuana we could use a
consultant to help us with.
Last fall, Washington and
Colorado became the first
states to pass laws legaliz-
ing the recreational use of
marijuana and setting up sys-
tems of state-licensed grow-
ers, processors and retail
stores where adults over 21
can walk in and buy up to
an ounce of heavily taxed
cannabis. Sales are due to
begin in Washington state in
December.
Both states are working to
develop rules for the emerg-
ing pot industry. Up in the
air is everything from how
many growers and stores
there should be, to how the
marijuana should be tested to
ensure people dont get sick.
Washingtons Liquor
Control Board has advertised
for consulting services in four
categories. The first is prod-
uct and industry knowledge
and requires at least three
years of consulting experi-
ence relating to the knowl-
edge of the cannabis industry,
including but not limited to
product growth, harvesting,
packaging, product infusion
and product safety.
Other categories cover
quality testing, includ-
ing how to test for levels
of THC, the compound that
gets marijuana users high;
statistical analysis of how
much marijuana the states
licensed growers should
produce; and the develop-
ment of regulations, a cat-
egory that requires a strong
understanding of state, local
or federal government pro-
cesses, with a law degree
preferred.
In case no regulatory law-
yers who grow pot in their
spare time apply, multiple
contracts could be awarded.
Or bidders who are strong
in one category could team
up with those who are strong
in another. Bids are due Feb.
15, with the contract award-
ed in March.
Many of the bidders are
expected to come from the
medical marijuana world.
Christy Stanley, a Kitsap
County resident who has
researched marijuana and
considered opening a medi-
cal dispensary in the past,
said shes attending the con-
ference because shed like
the job, but wants to know
whether it would disqualify
her from also becoming a
licensed grower or retailer.
She knows growers, but has
never grown marijuana her-
self, she said.
This is big: The nation
and the world are looking to
us to set up a good model,
she said. If it works here,
theyre just going to cookie-
cut this for other states.

TOKYO U.S. investi-
gators said today they asked
Boeing Co. to provide a full
operating history of lithi-
um-ion batteries used in its
grounded 787 Dreamliners
after Japans All Nippon
Airways revealed it had
repeatedly replaced the bat-
teries even before overheat-
ing problems surfaced.
National Transportation
Safety Board spokesman
Peter Knudson said the agen-
cy made the request after
recently becoming aware of
battery problems at ANA that
occurred before a Jan. 7 bat-
tery fire in a 787 parked at
Bostons Logan International
Airport. Boeing has already
collected some of the infor-
mation, he said.
ANA said it had
replaced batteries on its
787 aircraft some 10 times
because they didnt charge
properly or connections
with electrical systems
had failed, and informed
Boeing about the swaps.
Japan Airlines also said it
had replaced 787 batter-
ies. It described the num-
ber involved as a few but
couldnt immediately give
further details. All 50 of the
Boeing 787s in use around
the world remain grounded
after an ANA flight on Jan.
16 made an emergency land-
ing in Japan when its main
battery overheated.
The 787 is the first air-
liner to make wide use of
lithium-ion batteries. They
are prone to overheating
and require additional safe-
guards to prevent fires.
However, ANA spokes-
woman Megumi Tezuka
said the airline was not
required to report the bat-
tery replacements to Japans
Transport Ministry because
they did not interfere with
flights and did not raise
safety concerns. Having to
replace batteries on an air-
craft is not uncommon and
was not considered to be
out of the ordinary, she said.
Laura Brown, a spokes-
woman for the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration,
said in Washington that the
agency was checking wheth-
er the previous battery inci-
dents had been reported by
Boeing. Boeing in Japan said
it couldnt comment while
the NSTB investigation is
underway. GS Yuasa, the
Kyoto, Japan-based manu-
facturer of the batteries,
said it could not comment.
With 17 of the jets, ANA
was Boeings launch cus-
tomer for the technologically
advanced airliner. The airline
has had to cancel hundreds
of flights, affecting tens of
thousands of people, but has
sought to minimize disrup-
tions by switching to other
aircraft as much as possible.
ANA and Japan Airlines are
among the biggest custom-
ers for the 787 and Japanese
manufacturers make about
35 percent of the aircraft.
FINDLAY (AP)
Marathon Petroleum plans to
buy back an additional $2 bil-
lion of its common stock.
The Findlay company also
declared a fourth-quarter divi-
dend of 35 cents per share
today.
Marathon Petroleum said
it is extending the remaining
$650 million repurchase autho-
rization announced in February
2012, which gives it the abil-
ity to buy up to $2.65 billion
of its stock through December
2014. The dividend will be paid
March 11 to shareholders of
record on Feb. 20.
Marathon Petroleum Corp.
runs oil refineries and pipe-
lines, and it sells fuel to drivers
through its Speedway service
stations. Its shares finished at
$33.93 on Tuesday. They have
traded in a 52-week range of
$23.17 to $35.49.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I hear
people talk about psychopaths.
Can you tell me how to recognize
them so I can avoid them? Do they
snap and become violent?
DEAR READER: Psychopathy
is a psychological condition. Im
sure that events and relationships
earlier in life have some influence
on whether a psychopath behaves
in a destructive way. But I also
think the evidence shows that
psychopaths are born more than
they are made. It is my opinion
that the condition is inherited, and
that it produces changes in brain
chemistry that lead to psychopathic
behavior.
Psychopaths just really dont
care about the feelings of others.
They are extremely egocentric,
engaging in immoral and antisocial
behavior for short-term gains.
Psychopaths are predators, and
anyone who they think can feed
their need is potential prey.
Psychopaths engage in
planned, controlled and purposeful
aggression. The primary goal is
not necessarily to injure others,
but simply to get what they
want. They are also more likely
to engage in impulsive behavior,
to become emotional and
aggressive.
Psychopaths are often
superficially charming and
glib. At first, they capture
peoples attention easily
and even gain their trust.
That helps them to take
advantage of others because
they know that acting
friendly and helpful will
help them get what they
want.
Some, but not all,
psychopaths can be violent.
But a psychopath is just
as willing to use a well-timed
compliment to achieve his or her
goals.
Fortunately, there are relatively
few true psychopaths whom we
interact with. But unfortunately,
there are a lot of people with some
of the same personality features.
Theres a newly emerging term,
an almost psychopath, coined
by researchers at Harvard Medical
School. The distinction between
a psychopath and an almost
psychopath is the lesser degree
and frequency with which they
exhibit psychopathic traits. The
evidence is that there are a lot of
almost psychopaths in the world
around us.
Perhaps you suspect you are
involved with a psychopath or
almost psychopath -- at home,
work or elsewhere. Here are some
considerations and actions to keep
in mind:
-- Accept the possibility that you
are in a very bad situation, perhaps
with someone to whom you are
closely attached.
-- Document, privately and
carefully, the behaviors and events
that concern you.
-- Reach out to others for help.
-- Trust your gut instincts.
-- Say something. The silence of
those that psychopaths and almost
psychopaths betray, manipulate
and abuse is perhaps the greatest
ally they possess.
-- If you find yourself being hurt
or otherwise abused,
get out as quickly and
safely as you can.
Ive put a description
of an almost
psychopath on my
website: AskDoctorK.
com. Its taken from
an insightful book
by my Harvard
colleagues Dr. Ronald
Schouten and Dr.
James Silver, Almost
a Psychopath. In
everyday language,
it describes how to
recognize almost
psychopaths and how
to protect yourself
from them. An ounce
of prevention is worth
a pound of cure.

Girlfriend cant
treat man like
he is a child
Dear Annie: Ive been
with a wonderful guy for
fve years. After two abusive
marriages, I am fnally being
treated right. Bud and I
have only two issues: money
and kids. We have broken up
a few times over our prob-
lems, but honestly, I cant
live without him.
Bud is 44 years old and
owns his own business, but
he does not save
money. When I
met him, he had
nothing. Now he
has $20,000 in
a retirement ac-
count and another
$5,000 in savings.
He fnally has his
two kids pretty
well straightened
out, although they
will never be ex-
actly normal.
Bud still
doesnt manage his money
well. He needs so many
things in his house, yet he
went out and bought a truck
he doesnt need. He now has
six years of payments on it,
his auto insurance went up,
and if he ever needs new
tires, we are talking thou-
sands of dollars. I want him
to sell it and get a reason-
ably priced truck. He says he
will lose money on the sale,
which is true, but why sink
even more into it?
Both of my marriages in-
volved men who overspent
on themselves, so I know I
have a tendency to be extra
cautious. How can I con-
vince Bud that he did the
wrong thing by buying the
truck, but that he still has
time to fx it? I wont marry
a man I cant trust with my
money. Not again. Thrice
Shy
Dear Thrice: You cant
treat Bud like a child, even if
he makes poor fnancial de-
cisions. He will resent it and
push back. Instead, approach
all such matters jointly, be-
ing respectful of each others
opinions, even when you dis-
agree. You also could offer
to take over the handling of
fnances for the household,
keeping everyone within a
reasonable budget. But you
are wise not to commingle
your money if you dont
trust Buds ability to handle
it. Before marrying, consider
fnancial counseling together
through your bank or the Na-
tional Foundation for Credit
Counseling (nfcc.org).
Dear Annie: My husband
and I have been married 27
years. We each have grown
children from previous mar-
riages.
My husbands 42-year-
old unmarried son lives out
of state. Mike is self-sup-
porting, but the only time
we hear from him is when
he needs some extra money.
He lives alone except for his
dogs. For the past three years,
Mike has spent Christmas
with us, staying three or four
days. We are always happy
to see him, even though we
only have two bedrooms and
he brings the dogs even
one who is incontinent.
Last year, my daughter
(who also lives out of state)
visited with her two chil-
dren. We hadnt seen her
in two years. My
husband also was
scheduled for knee
replacement sur-
gery the following
week. So when
Mike asked to
come with his dogs
and a new puppy,
we explained that it
wasnt a good time.
We asked him to
come in February
or March, while his
father recuperated
and hopefully, the puppy
would be housebroken.
We have not heard from
him since, even though I
have left numerous mes-
sages on his voicemail. What
more can I do to mend this
fragile relationship? In
the Middle
Dear Middle: Not much.
You have explained, and you
have called. We trust you will
keep all of the kids informed
of Dads progress, including
Mike. But it is up to him to
make the next move. We sus-
pect when he needs money,
he will get in touch again.
Dear Annie: Most wom-
en who responded to Your
Husband do not understand
men very well. Without sex,
men feel incomplete. Its
part of how we feel loved.
Women should realize how
important sex is to a man
simply by seeing that he is
willing to risk everything
his wife, family and assets
to fll this void. Feel-
ing the Void in Indiana

The year ahead will present a
quality achievement cycle, but youre
going to have to work extremely hard
to get what you want. Thankfully,
however, youre likely to have the
proper motivation to do so.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Even if the behavior of someone you
like proves to be frustrating, youll
have the good judgment to cope with
it philosophically, without damaging
the relationship.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Although youll have the ability to
size up situations accurately, theres
a good chance that you will do
something that wont serve your best
interest. Use your common sense.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
A well-intentioned friend might try
to tell you something for your own
good that you wont take well. Dont
blame the messenger for unpleasant
information.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Even if you are luckier than usual in
certain material matters, remember,
your good fortune has its limit. Be
careful not to push it beyond what is
reasonable.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If
you find yourself dealing with a prima
donna in an endeavor that requires
team players, it might be smart to call
in a replacement.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Your chances for achieving an
important objective look good,
provided you play it cool and keep
a low profile. If youre too visible,
competitors might shoot you down.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A
social event that you arent too eager
to join could actually turn out to be
quite enjoyable. The problem wont
be with the affair -- its likely to be
with you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Success is likely in a joint endeavor
if you handle things correctly.
The problem will come from the
distribution of rewards, so be sure
everyone involved is treated properly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Reason rather than force must be used
in all testy developments with which
you might have to contend. Make
certain your logic wins out over your
baser impulses.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Its important that you have a voice
in all matters that could cost you out
of pocket. This is one area where
others should not be allowed to make
decisions for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Think of yourself as part of a
team in all of your involvements with
friends, and strive to be cooperative.
If you are self-serving, youll stick out
like a sore thumb.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Provided you dont go off on
tangents, you will be extremely adept
at fulfilling your ambitious objectives.
Waste your energies on side issues,
however, and you wont reach your
goals.

New Orleans challenge: Policing 2 huge parties
BY KEVIN McGILL
NEW ORLEANS New Orleans police
are in the middle of an unprecedented secu-
rity challenge with an estimated 150,000 Super
Bowl fans packing the city during the raucous
annual buildup to Mardi Gras, when thousands
of revelers flock to the historic French Quarter
and its restaurants, bars and strip clubs.
It all began in earnest Friday night with the
first of the citys major float-filled Mardi Gras
season parades. This week, the parade schedule
is on hold while the Super Bowl takes center
stage. Mardi Gras preparations resume once
Sundays game is over and the parades roll
again starting Wednesday.
The citys police force of 1,200 officers
is working more than three weeks worth of
12-hour days, on the lookout for everything
from petty crime and public drunkenness to
random gunfire and the threat of terrorism. It
will be an exhausting stretch that city officials
say will cost the city several million dollars in
police overtime.
If we can, wed like to give them some time
down, said police chief Ronal Serpas. But if
we cant, they know it and theyll stand up for
it.
Its also a unique chance for Serpas to show
off one of the strengths of a department beset
by scandals involving brutality and mismanage-
ment. City officials have carried out numer-
ous reforms aimed at cleaning up the depart-
ment, which has seen five officers convicted
of civil rights violations stemming from deadly
shootings of unarmed residents after Hurricane
Katrina.
For years, though, crowd control has been
the departments bright spot, especially during
Mardi Gras revelry on the narrow streets of
the nearly 300-year-old French Quarter, home
to fancy restaurants and art galleries as well as
sleazy bars and strip joints.
I think the NOPD does take a particular
pride in its long-standing history and long-
standing demonstration that managing large
crowds is something we do very well, said
Serpas, who is in his third year running the
department.
Shoulder-to-shoulder, alcohol-fueled crowds
often spill over into the neighboring Faubourg
Marigny, an increasingly popular area of music
clubs and restaurants. A 15-block-long stretch
of Poydras Street, linking the Superdome to
the Mississippi River and the massive Harrahs
Casino, is seeing increased foot traffic during
sports events with the opening of more bars
and restaurants in recent years. And, outside
the Quarter, lavish Carnival season parades
draw tens of thousands to the miles-long routes.
During the final weekend of Mardi Gras, streets
of the metro area can be packed with more than
a million people, and more than a few will be
overdoing it.
The thing about Mardi Gras crowds is, we
get this impression that some of the people may
have been drinking, Serpas deadpanned.
Police perched atop horses watch for prob-
lems on the horizon and keep people moving,
while uniformed officers on foot mingle and
build rapport with the partiers to keep the peace.
Plainclothes officers will be on the lookout for
weapons and other less visible problems. Arrest
numbers vary from year to year, though police
commonly arrest at least several hundred people
each year during Mardi Gras-related celebra-
tions most for relatively minor transgres-
sions.
Joining the departments officers for Super
Bowl week are more than 200 state troopers and
about 100 officers from surrounding local juris-
dictions. Also, with the Super Bowl considered
a potential terrorist target, there is a beefed-up
federal contingent. That includes close to 100
extra FBI personnel supplementing the regular
New Orleans FBI staff of 200 agents and sup-
port staff, said Michael Anderson, the agent in
charge of the New Orleans office.
That office will be home to a joint operations
center where the goings-on will be constantly
monitored by representatives from all involved
state, local and federal law enforcement and
security agencies, including the Department of
Homeland Security and the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Such a cen-
ter is standard operating procedure for the Super
Bowl each year, Anderson said.
New Orleans police will take the lead on local
crime, traffic or public disturbances, Anderson
said. If theres any inkling of a terrorist attack
or threat of terrorist attack in any way, he said,
then we kick in with our full apparatus.
At Louis Armstrong International Airport,
the Transportation Safety Administration is add-
ing personnel and equipment to handle security
checks, said TSA spokesman Jon Allen. He said
there will be 11 additional checkpoint lanes
added to the 14 existing lanes for passenger
screening.
Five additional explosives-detecting
machines have been added to screen checked
baggage, and more than 100 transportation
security officers will be brought in from other
airports starting Sunday to help local airport
staff, Allen said. The officers will stay through
the middle of next week, he said.
Beyond the citys police costs, exact security
costs are difficult to determine. Federal officials
declined to detail specifics, and an NFL repre-
sentative would say only that the league will
spend millions.
Mardi Gras season happens every year, and
the city is no stranger to Super Bowls, having
hosted nine including the 2002 game that
followed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Although security planning for the Super Bowl
has grown increasingly complex since the
attacks, no acts of terror or other serious prob-
lems have been reported at Super Bowls in
recent years.
Most Super Bowl problems in recent years
resulted from human gridlock. At last years
Super Bowl in Indianapolis, 11 people suffered
minor injuries during a free outdoor concert.
But officials said otherwise there were few
problems.
This year, officers will be prepared to reroute
or block vehicle traffic when streets are full of
pedestrians. As for terrorism worries, Anderson
said preparations include formation of SWAT
teams and hazardous incident teams spe-
cialists in hazardous materials or explosives
assembled from the various federal local and
state agencies.
Serpas welcomes the help, but he said much
of the cooperation comes from the partiers
themselves a diverse crowd that can consist
of locals and families picnicking on parade
routes and a more adult, heavier-drinking crowd
downtown and in the Quarter.
You look at that parade route, and on any
one block there could be 10,000 people and two
cops, Serpas said. How do those two cops
stay safe, and how does that crowd stay safe?
Were actually working together.
Standoff: Man shoots Ala. bus driver, takes child
MIDLAND CITY, Ala.
Police, SWAT teams and nego-
tiators were at a rural property
where a man was believed to be
holed up in a homemade bunker
Wednesday after fatally shooting
the driver of a school bus and
fleeing with a 6-year-old child
passenger, authorities said. The
man boarded the stopped school
bus in the town of Midland City
on Tuesday afternoon and shot
the driver when he refused to
let the child off the bus, Dale
County Sheriff Wally Olsen told
WBMA-TV. The driver later
died of his wounds. His identity
wasnt released.
The shooter took the child,
authorities said.
County coroner Woodrow
Hilboldt told The Associated
Press the overnight standoff
continued early Wednesday with
tactical units, negotiators and
other officers at the scene near a
church. He said the suspect was
believed to be in an underground
shelter on his property.
Thats what has been
described to me as an under-
ground bunker. Someplace to
get out of the way of a tor-
nado, Hilboldt said.
The coroner said the victim,
who was in his mid-60s, died
of multiple gunshot wounds.
He wouldnt release a name
until family had been notified.
Claudia Davis, who lives
on the road where the standoff
was taking place, said early
Wednesday that she and her
neighbors cant leave because
the one road was blocked by
police.
Davis, 54, said she has had
run-ins with the man suspected
as the shooter. Before this
happened I would see him at
several places and he would
just stare a hole through me,
Davis said. On Monday I saw
him at a laundry mat and he
seen me when I was getting
in my truck and he just started
and stared and stared at me.
Midland City police would
not comment, and a dispatcher
at the Dale City Sheriffs office
told The Associated Press early
Wednesday that the agency
was not releasing any immedi-
ate details.
Authorities also confirmed
the presence of a child at the
scene but are giving no fur-
ther information at this time,
Rachel David, a spokeswoman
for the police department in the
nearby city of Dothan, said in a
news release late Tuesday.
Michael Creel, who lives
on the road where the shooting
happened, said he went outside
after his sister heard gunshots.
Me and her started running
down the road, Creel told the
Dothan Eagle. Thats when I
realized the bus had its siren
going off. Kids were filing out,
running down the hill toward
the church.
Texas womans execution halted; DA wont appeal
HUNTSVILLE, Texas
The first woman scheduled to
be executed in the U.S. since
2010 won a reprieve Tuesday,
mere hours before she was
scheduled to be taken to the
Texas death chamber.
State District Judge Larry
Mitchell, in Dallas, resched-
uled Kimberly McCarthys
punishment for April 3 so
lawyers for the former nurs-
ing home therapist could have
more time to pursue an appeal
focused on whether her pre-
dominantly white jury was
improperly selected on the
basis of race. McCarthy is
black. Dallas County prosecu-
tors, who initially contested the
motion to reschedule, chose to
not appeal the ruling.
District Attorney Craig
Watkins said the 60-day delay
was appropriate. If no irreg-
ularities are discovered, he said
hed move forward with the
execution.
We want to make sure
everything is done correctly,
he said.
The 51-year-old McCarthy
was convicted and sent to death
row for the 1997 stabbing, beat-
ing and robbery of a 71-year-
old neighbor. She learned of
the reprieve less than five hours
before she was scheduled for
lethal injection, already in a
small holding cell a few feet
from the death chamber at the
Texas Department of Criminal
Justice Huntsville Unit.
Im happy right now over
that, she told prison agency
spokesman John Hurt. Theres
still work to be done on my case.
Hurt said McCarthy was in
good spirits and didnt seem
tense or nervous even before
she learned she would live.
A Dallas County jury con-
victed her of killing neighbor
Dorothy Booth at the retired
college psychology professors
home in Lancaster, about 15
miles south of Dallas. We are
very pleased that we will now
have an opportunity to present
evidence of discrimination in
the selection of the jury that
sentenced Kimberly McCarthy
to death, said Maurie Levin,
a University of Texas law pro-
fessor and McCarthys lawyer.
Of the twelve jurors seated
at trial, all were white, except
one, and eligible non-white
jurors were excluded from
serving by the state. These
facts must be understood in the
context of the troubling and
long-standing history of racial
discrimination in jury selection
in Dallas County, including at
the time of Ms. McCarthys
trial, Levin said.
Investigators said Booth
had agreed to give McCarthy
a cup of sugar before she was
attacked with a butcher knife
and candelabra. Booths finger
also was severed so McCarthy
could take her wedding ring.
It was among three slayings
linked to McCarthy, whod
been addicted to crack cocaine.
McCarthy would have
been the 13th woman execut-
ed in the U.S. and the fourth
in Texas, the nations busiest
death penalty state, since the
Supreme Court allowed capital
punishment to resume in 1976.
In that same time period, more
than 1,300 male inmates have
been executed nationwide.

Senate hearing pits NRA,
gun-control supporters
BY ALAN FRAM
WASHINGTON The
National Rifle Association
and gun-control advocates,
including Mark Kelly, the hus-
band of wounded former Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords, are facing
off at the years first Senate
hearing on what lawmakers
should do to curb gun violence.
The two sides were squar-
ing off today before the Senate
Judiciary Committee, whose
own members are divided in
a microcosm of the debate that
gun limits will face on their way
through Congress. The hearing
is a direct response to the Dec.
14 shooting rampage that killed
20 first-graders and six adults
at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown, Conn.,
and transformed gun control
into a top-tier issue in the capi-
tal. The time has come to
change course, Sen. Dianne
Feinstein, D-Calif., one of
Congress leading gun-con-
trol advocates, said Tuesday.
And the time has come to
make people safe. Feinstein,
a Judiciary Committee mem-
ber, has already introduced
her own legislation banning
assault weapons and maga-
zines of more than 10 rounds of
ammunition. Sen. Orrin Hatch,
R-Utah, said he would listen
to proposals and agreed that
reviewing the issue was timely.
But Im a strong supporter
of the Second Amendment,
he said Tuesday, citing the
constitutional provision that
describes the right to bear
arms, and I dont intend to
change. The chairman of the
panel, Sen. Patrick Leahy,
D-Vt., said little Tuesday
about the direction his com-
mittees legislation might take.
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev., indicated that
whatever the committee pro-
duced wouldnt necessarily be
the final product, saying the
package would be debated by
the full Senate and senators
would be allowed to propose
whatever amendments they
want that deal with this issue.
NEW ORLEANS BP
PLC closed the book on the
Justice Departments crimi-
nal probe of its role in the
Deepwater Horizon disaster
and Gulf oil spill Tuesday,
when a federal judge agreed to
let the London-based oil giant
plead guilty to manslaughter
charges for the deaths of 11
rig workers and pay a record
$4 billion in penalties.
What the plea deal
approved by U.S. District
Judge Sarah Vance doesnt
resolve, though, is the fed-
eral governments civil claims
against BP. The company
could pay billions more for
environmental damage from
its 2010 spill.
Vance noted that the com-
pany already has racked up
more than $24 billion in spill-
related expenses and has esti-
mated it will pay a total of
$42 billion to fully resolve its
liability for the disaster in the
Gulf of Mexico.
