Locals shrug at loss of Saturday service

BY STEPHANIE GROVES sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The U.S. Postal Service will mark the end of an era that began in 1863. On Aug. 5, Saturday home delivery and collection of letters, magazines and other first-class mail will end; however, delivery of packages of all sizes would continue six days a week. The shift in service follows a dismal budget year with the agency suffering a $15.9 billion loss. The Postal Service announced its plan on Wednesday and expects to save $2 billion a year with the pending cutbacks. Given the evolution of customers behaviors and technological advancements, the Postal Service needed to adjust the way it does busi-

ness and has focused its services around package delivery. Since 2010, the delivery of letters and other mail has plummeted. The going green initiative, convenience of the Internet and digital downloads and subscriptions have decreased the bulk of paper letters, billing statements and magazines, but online purchases have increased package shipping by 14 percent. A recent survey conducted at the Delphos Post Office indicates postal customers feel stopping mail delivery on Saturdays will not affect them and does not matter. Amy Musser will not miss the bills showing up in her mailbox on Saturdays. The one drawback is timinggetting her mailed See POSTAL, page 2

The Ohio Department of Transportation has announced Interstate 75, both northbound and southbound, just north of Ohio 81 in Lima will be slowed for intervals of up to 20 minutes on Saturday and Sunday to allow for placement of utility lines over the interstate. The operation is expected to occur from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days. Traffic control on Interstate 75 will be provided by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Traffic entering northbound I-75 from Ohio 81 will be controlled during the operation.

Fire depts. on board with pet masks

BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com There are cords for you to attach the breathing bag to and different mask sizes. You want to focus on getting a good seal around the mask, then hooking it up to the rebreather and breathing for them if they arent breathing. These masks arent disposable, you just have to make sure you sanitize them. Theres also a leash in there because you know theyll come awake and want to run off somewhere. Theyve presented masks to Delphos, Lima, Spencerville and American Township Fire Departments. Kalida, Ottoville and Fort Jennings joined the ranks on Thursday. Dr. Bonnie says theyll be donated to Cairo Monroe Twp., Columbus Grove and Middle Point fire departments next. The only place we havent really hit yet is Van Wert.

NYC, New England brace for up to three feet of snow

By BRIDGET MURPHY The Associated Press BOSTON Snow began to fall around the Northeast today at the start of whats predicted to be a massive, possibly historic blizzard, and residents scurried to stock up on food and supplies ahead of the storm poised to dump up to 3 feet of snow from New York City to Boston and beyond. Even before the first snowflake had fallen, Boston, Providence, R.I., Hartford, Conn., and other towns and cities in New England and upstate New York towns canceled school today, and airlines scratched more than 3,700 flights through Saturday, with the disruptions from the blizzard certain to ripple across the U.S. This one doesnt come along every day. This is going to be a dangerous winter storm, said Alan Dunham, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Taunton, Mass. Wherever you need to get to, get there by this afternoon and dont plan on leaving. The snow began falling this morning in some areas, with the heaviest amounts falling at night and into Saturday. Wind gusts could reach 75 mph. Widespread power failures were feared, along with flooding in coastal areas still recovering from

DELPHOS Anyone who owns a pet can attest to how quickly they become part of the family but when a house fire breaks out, pets can often be forgotten about until all human family members are safe outside. According to the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA), an estimated 40,000 pets die from smoke asphyxiation every year. This statistic has prompted an effort by the OVMA to put kits containing pet oxygen masks into the hands of fire departments around Ohio. Veterinarians Drs. Bonnie and John Jones of Delphos Animal Hospital have combined with the OVMA to distribute the kits locally. Post office boxes would still be filled on Saturdays These are very similar to even if delivery is not offered.

successful instance at a house fire in Lima. The dog was rescued from the fire but wasnt breathing and they were able to save its life with one of the kits, she said They asked for two more. Weve had clients repeatedly thank us for getting involved with this program. Theyre happy to know their pets will be taken care of in an emergency. After receiving the kit for Ottoville Fire Department, Chief Dan Honigford spoke for all when he expressed appreciation. Were all very grateful to have these. Hopefully we never have to use them but at least we should be prepared now, he said. People get very close with their pets and they become part of the family. We arent saying we will save pets before people, but well save whoever we can.

Superstorm Sandy in October. Boston could get up to 3 feet of snow, while New York City was expecting 10 to 12 inches. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said plows and 250,000 tons of salt were being put on standby. To the south, Philadelphia was looking at a possible 2 to 5 inches.

Manhunt for ex-cop shifts to mountains

By TAMI ABDOLLAH The Associated Press LOS ANGELES A fired police officer who threatened to bring warfare to the Los Angeles Police Department went on a shooting rampage that left a policeman and two others dead and set off an extraordinary manhunt that had three states and Mexico on alert for much of Thursday. The search for Christopher Dorner led hair-trigger officers to mistakenly shoot at innocent citizens and forced police to guard their own. But the focus of police efforts shifted Thursday afternoon to the snowy mountains around Big Bear Lake, about 80 miles east of Los Angeles, where police found Dorners burned-out pickup truck and tracks leading away from the vehicle. San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said 125 officers were going door to door and attempting to track the suspect, and that a SWAT team was providing added security to those in the community. Schools were put on lockdown while investigators examined the vehicle and spread out across the area. He could be anywhere at this point, and thats why were searching door to door, McMahon said, adding that the manhunt would continue as long as we can. A snow storm was expected in the region with temperatures dipping into the teens overnight. Said LAPD Assistant Chief Michel Moore: This complex and violent investigation has led to this mountain. The pickup was to be processed at a crime lab Thursday evening and examined by investigators from multiple agencies. Throughout the day, thou-

OBITUARY

I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, Im terminating yours.

Christopher Dorner sands of heavily armed officers patrolled highways throughout Southern California, while some stood guard outside the homes of people police say Dorner vowed to attack in a rant posted online. Electronic billboards, which usually alert motorists about the commute, urged them to call 911 if they saw him. I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to Los Angeles Police Department officers, on or off duty, said the manifesto. It also asserted: Unfortunately, I will not be alive to see my name cleared. Thats what this is about, my name. A man is nothing without his name. Dorner, 33, had several weapons including an assault rifle, said police Chief Charlie Beck, who urged him to surrender at a news conference held amid heightened security in an underground room at police headquarters. Of course he knows what hes doing; we trained him. He was also a member of the Armed Forces, he said. It is extremely worrisome and scary. The nearly 10,000-member LAPD dispatched officers to protect more than 40 potential targets, including police officers and their families. The department also pulled officers from motorcycle duty, fearing they would make for easy targets. I never had the opportu-

The following individuals appeared Thursday before Judge Charles Steele in Van Wert County Common Pleas Court: Probation violations Zachariah Germann, 25, Elida, was sentenced for probation violations.

VAN WERT COUNTY COURT NEWS

He admitted to new violations involving violations of rules at the Van Wert County Correctional Facility. He was sentenced to prison for 4 years on each of three counts and 18 months prison on another count, all to be served concurrently. He was given credit for 323 days already served. Shane Seekings, 28, Van Wert, admitted to violating his probation by failing to report to his probation officer. He was re-sentenced to 3 years of Community Control with the additional condition that he is ordered to serve up to 6 months at the WORTH Center. A 9-month prison sentence was deferred. Eddy Blossom, 27, Willshire, admitted to probation violation for being convicted of Disorderly Conduct in Mercer County, having a positive drug test, not com-

nity to have a family of my own, Im terminating yours, the manifesto said. At one point, officers guarding one location mistakenly opened fire on a pickup truck, believing it matched the description of Dorners darkcolored 2005 Nissan Titan. Two occupants were injured. The chief said there had been a night of extreme tragedy in the Los Angeles area and that the department was taking measures to ensure the safety of officers. The search for Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for making false statements, began after he was linked to a weekend killing in which one of the victims was the daughter of a former police captain who had represented him during his disciplinary hearing. Thursday was the anniversary of his first day on the job at the department eight years ago. Monica Quan and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, were found shot in their car at a parking structure at their condominium on Sunday in Irvine. Quan, 28, was an assistant womens basketball coach at Cal State Fullerton. Lawrence, 27, was a public safety officer at the University of Southern California. Police said Dorner implicated himself in the couples killings in the manifesto posted on Facebook. They believe he was the one who wrote it because there were details in it only he would know. In the post, Dorner wrote that he knew he would be vilified by the LAPD and the news media, but that unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name.

town of Whitman, where up to 30 inches of snow is forecast, public works crews were clearing crosswalk signs, trash barrels and anything else that might impede plows later in the day. Weve had instances where they have predicted something big and its petered out, said Dennis Smith, a DPW worker. I dont think this is going to be one of those times. Smiths partner, Bob Trumbull, sounded a note of optimism, saying the relative lack of snow earlier this winter would make this storm easier to clean up. At least there is room for this snow. There are no snow banks so we will have a place to put it, Trumbull said. Amtrak said its Northeast trains will stop running this afternoon. The organizers of New Yorks Fashion Week a closely watched series of fashion shows held under a big tent said they will have extra crews to help with snow removal and will turn up the heat and add an extra layer to the venue. Airlines have cancelled 3,775 flights in preparation for the Northeast storm, according to airline tracking website FlightAware. At New York Citys three main airports, most domestic carriers planned to cease operations between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. today, resuming after noon on Saturday, FlightAware said. At Bostons Logan and other New England airports, most airlines were to cease operations between noon and 4 p.m., and would restart Saturday afternoon. Blizzard warnings were posted for parts of New Jersey and New Yorks Long Island, as well as portions of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, including Hartford, New Haven, Conn., and Providence. The warnings extended into New Hampshire and Maine. In New England, it could prove to be among the top 10 snowstorms in history, and perhaps even break Bostons record of 27.6 inches, set in 2003, forecasters said. The last major snowfall in southern New England was well over a year ago the Halloween storm of 2011. Dunham said southern New England has seen less than half its normal snowfall this season, but were going to catch up in a heck of a hurry. He added: Everybodys going to get plastered with snow. At Stop & Shop supermarket in Mount Vernon, N.Y., this morning, there was a line of shoppers outside when it opened at 7 a.m., and a steady stream followed. Checkout lines were long. Mary Anne DiBello, 44, was stocking up her cart as the snow began to fall. She said she hosted a sleepover Thursday night with four 9- and 10-year-olds, including her daughter. Now I think Im going to be stuck with them until I bring them to school on Monday, she said, adding her daughter just called her at the store to say the girls were awake. I told her, Go wake your father. Im stuck here. In New Hampshire, Dartmouth College student Evan Diamond and other members of the ski team were getting ready for races at the Ivy League schools winter carnival. Were pretty excited about it because this has been an unusual winter for us, he said. Weve been going back and forth between having really solid cold snaps and then the rain washing everything away.

Ted Rode of Coldwater, Mich., and formerly of Middle Point, died Thursday at Community Health Center of Branch County in Coldwater.

payments into the mail so they arrive at their proper destination on time. We, my husband and I, dont use the internet to pay bills, Musser reasoned. We prefer to deal with the paper billing. Since the closing of the Lima Processing and Distribution Facility Mail Operations in October 2010, some residents have experienced delays in receiving their mail. With those types of delays in mind, Greg Zenz believes the change in service may lead to customers experiencing frustration with slower delivery times businesses will no longer be able to rely on Saturday mail to get work started or completed on Monday morning. If somebodys expecting a timely piece of mail like an income tax refund check, it would be frustrating to wait an extra day, Zenz empathized. Marc Smith thinks its a common-sense move. Im all for cutting federal spending, Smith was adamant. Things like that are not easy but it has to be done. The popular consensus of the public is also shared by a few Delphos business managers who are open on Saturdays. ACE Hardware manager Jeff Fritz is not concerned with the change in mail service since his store relies more on receiving and sending its own in-house mail. I hope they go down to three days, Fritz clarified his stance. They need to do whatever it takes to get their finances in order. Shane Wagoner, manager of Best One Tire & Service, gave his perspective on how the stoppage will affect his production. I work on Saturdays and handle accounts receivable, Wagoner described his situation. Receiving payments and updating billing will be delayed an extra day. The plan will affect approximately 22,500 jobs and the strategy is to eliminate overtime, offer buyouts and rely much more on the part-time workforce rather than resorting to laying employees off. There will be no changes to post offices that are currently open on Saturday and mail will continue to be delivered to P.O. boxes. The key culprit for the Postal Services woes has been a 2006 Congressional mandate, under which it has to pre-fund healthcare benefits for future retirees. The USPS has been borrowing billions of dollars from taxpayers to make up for the shortfalls.

Ohio teens acquitted in infants death

CANTON (AP) A judge in northeast Ohio has acquitted two teens of criminal charges in the death of their newborn baby. Prosecutors said the boy and girl, both 17 at the time, kept the pregnancy secret, and their son died from the lack of medical care. But The (Canton) Repository reports that while a judge ruled there was ample negligence, he declined Thursday to find them guilty of juvenile charges involuntary manslaughter and child endangering. Defense attorneys argued that the girl thought she was having a miscarriage and the boy who was not present at the July birth didnt know the baby was alive until afterward. If convicted, the Alliance teens could have been held in a state juvenile facility until they turned 21.

Plan to replace Ohio license plates scrapped

BRIEFS

From the Vantage Point

STATE/LOCAL

700 sophomores visit Vantage

Information submitted VAN WERT More than 700 sophomores from the participating Vantage schools spent two hours at the new Vantage Career Center for Sophomore Visitation Day on Wednesday. Each sophomore had the opportunity to investigate and explore two different career technical programs of interest to them. During each one-hour visit, there were hands-on activities, demonstrations and presentations prepared especially for the sophomores. Vantage Cosmetology students prepared a style show for the 10th graders, while those visiting Welding and Auto Body got a chance to try out the new virtual welder and virtual painter. Students visiting Carpentry built and took home a DVD holder. In Auto Technology, students learned how to use the tire balancer and the rim clamp. Sophomores in Network Systems worked on Computer Modeling, programming, and internal computer components. This was a terrific opportunity for the sophomores to think about the different career fields available to them. Below are a few frequently asked questions and answers about coming to high school at Vantage. Q: Can I go to college after Vantage? A: About 40 percent of Vantage graduates continue their education immediately after high school graduation at a two- or four-year college. Students are urged to check with their guidance counselor to be sure that all requirements are met. Q: Can I participate in home school sports and activities? A: YES! Students are encouraged to stay involved in extracurricular activities at their home school, such as sports, drama, etc. Vantage has very active student orga-

COLUMBUS (AP) Officials have scrapped a plan that would have required Ohioans to replace their car license plates every seven years. And theyll be able to keep their old gold-lined and bicentennial red, white and blue plates, too. The replacement plan and scrapping of those old plates was included in a proposal by the Ohio Department of Public Safety. But The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reports that the changes were not included in the two-year budget proposal rolled out this week by Gov. John Kasich. Ohio Department of Public Safety spokesman Joe Andrews told the newspaper that the changes that were being considered are not priorities for this budget term. It would have addressed concerns by law enforcement agencies about the difficulty of reading rusted and faded letters and numbers.

Ohio University will demolish historic building

ATHENS (AP) Ohio University officials say theyre going ahead with the demolition of an historic campus building that student folklore suggests is haunted. Preservationists had been trying to persuade the university to spare the 88-yearold Ridges Building 26, or old Beacon School. It was built as a tuberculosis ward to a historically significant state mental hospital that operated on the property for more than a century beginning in 1868. But The Columbus Dispatch reports that OU announced this week that the building will be razed next month. The building is empty, and OU has said it is an attractive nuisance, frequently subject to trespassing and vandalism. The university obtained the building and others collectively known as The Ridges from the Ohio Department of Mental Health in a land swap.

Ohio base could see furloughs for civilian workers

DAYTON (AP) The commander of the states largest military base says budget cuts could lead to unpaid furloughs for civilian personnel and a 15-percent cut in operations. Col. Cassie Barlow, commander of the 88th Air Base Wing headquarters at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, said Thursday that 22-day furloughs for as many as 13,000 civilian employees would be an absolutely worst-case scenario of Air Force spending reductions. Civilians make up 60 percent of the workforce at the sprawling base. The Dayton Daily News

nizations - BPA (Business Professionals of America), FFA, FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America), and SkillsUSA, along with the Rotary Interact Club and Student Ambassadors. Q: What is the tuition to attend Vantage? A: Vantage Career Center is a public high school, open to 11th- and 12th-graders in the participating school districts. There is no tuition to attend Vantage. Each program has a fee of $75, which covers the cost of tools, supplies, equipment and one full uniform. Q: When are applications due at Vantage? A: Sophomore and junior students who are considering attending Vantage should be sure to check with their home school counselors for the Vantage enrollment Alex Miller (Jefferson) tests out the microphone in the soundproof booth in the Vandeadline.

Senators seek deal on gunsale background checks

By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON A bipartisan quartet of senators, including two National Rifle Association members and two with F ratings from the potent firearms lobby, are quietly trying to find a compromise on expanding the requirement for gun-sale background checks. A deal, given a good chance by several participants and lobbyists, could add formidable political momentum to one of the key elements of President Barack Obamas gun control plan. Currently, background checks are required only for sales by the nations 55,000 federally licensed gun dealers, but not for gun show, person-to-person sales or other private transactions. The senators talks have included discussions about ways to encourage states to make more mental health records available to the national system and the types of transactions that might be exempted from background checks, such as sales among relatives or to those who have permits to carry concealed weapons, said people who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to By DONNA CASSATA and RICHARD LARDNER The Associated Press describe the negotiations publicly. The private discussions involve liberal Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, who is the No. 3 Senate Democratic leader; West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, an NRA member and one of the chambers more moderate Democrats; Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., another NRA member and one of the more conservative lawmakers in Congress; and moderate GOP Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois. It will not limit your ability to borrow your Uncle Willies hunting rifle or share a gun with your friend at a shooting range, Schumer said last week in one of the senators few public remarks about the package the group is seeking. He said he believed a bipartisan deal could be reached. Polls show that requiring background checks for nearly all gun purchases has more public support than Obamas proposals to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, and it is among those given the best chance of enactment. Even so, it is opposed by the NRA and many congressional Republicans, who consider it intrusive and unworkable for a system they say already has flaws. My problem with back-

Feinstein said she and other senators were considering legislation to set up a special court system to regulate drone strikes, similar to the one that signs off on government surveillance in espionage and terrorism cases. Speaking with uncharacteristic openness about the classified program, Feinstein said that the CIA had allowed her staff to make more than 30 visits to the agencys northern Virginia headquarters to monitor strikes but that such transparency needed to be increased. Her comments came after the White House, under pressure from the committee, gave senators on the panel a Justice Department memo outlining the legal justification for drone strikes. But senators complained that their staff wasnt allowed to see it.

Military looks to place quick forces after Libya

WASHINGTON The U.S. military is determined to position small, quick reaction forces closer to global crises after the rapid assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya last September kept U.S. armed forces from responding in time to save four Americans. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress on Thursday that they moved quickly to deploy commando teams from Spain and Central Europe last Sept. 11, the chaotic day of the assault on the U.S. installation in Benghazi, but the first military unit didnt arrive until 15 hours after the first of two attacks. Time, distance, the lack of an adequate warning, events that moved very quickly on the ground prevented a more immediate response, Panetta said in likely his last Capitol Hill appearance before stepping down as Pentagon chief. Republicans have accused the Obama administration of an election-year cover-up of a terrorist attack in the nearly five months since the assault, and they kept up the politically charged onslaught on Thursday. The military also By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press found itself under attack, with at least one senator accusing the Joint Chiefs chairman of peddling falsehoods. Faced with repeated questions about where units were during the attack and what they were doing, Dempsey said the military is taking steps to deal with the next crisis. Weve asked each of the services to examine their capability to build additional reaction-like forces, small, rapidly deployable forces, Dempsey said. A small MAGTF for the Marine Corps, for example, a Marine air-ground task force. And the Army is looking at some options as well to increase the number of these resources across the globe, where the limiting factor, though will always be basing. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, put it in laymans terms: So you are moving the fire stations nearer the ? Were trying to build more firemen. The question is whether I can build the stations to house them, Dempsey answered. In more than four hours of testimony, Panetta and Dempsey described a military faced with not a single attack over several hours, but two separate assaults six hours apart; little real-time intelligence data and units too

ground checks is youre never going to get criminals to go through background checks, Wayne LaPierre, NRA executive vice president, told the Senate Judiciary Committee at its gun control hearing last week. An agreement among the four senators could help overcome that opposition by opening the door to support from other conservative Republicans besides Coburn. It also could make it easier to win backing from Democratic senators from GOP-leaning states, many of whom face re-election next year and who have been leery of embracing Obamas proposals. Schumer and Kirk each have F scores from the NRA, while Coburn and Manchin have A ratings. Prompted by the December massacre of 20 first-graders and six adults in Newtown, Conn., the Democratic-led Judiciary Committee plans to write gun control legislation in the next few weeks. The committees chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has expressed strong support for universal background checks and it is expected to be a cornerstone of his bill, but a version of that language with bipartisan support could give the entire package a boost.

Senate chairman: Hagel nomination on track

WASHINGTON Chuck Hagels nomination to be the next defense secretary remains on track despite Republican demands for additional information about his paid speeches and business dealings, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said Thursday. The GOP requests dealt a setback to President Barack Obamas pick, forcing the committee to announce late Wednesday it would postpone a vote on the nomination. A new date has not been set. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the committee, said the additional requests were extraordinary and that Hagel had complied with the panel. He said he would move ahead with a vote as soon as possible. We cant not vote because theres dissatisfaction. That would be endless, Levin told reporters. Were going to schedule a vote. Levin said he was confident the Senate would confirm Hagel, pointing out that none of the Senates 55 Democrats oppose the nominee, that two Republicans have announced their support and that several other GOP senators have said they would not back a filibuster. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said she would support Hagels nomination after meeting with him Thursday. His confirmation is very much on track to me, Levin said. The White House said Thursday that Hagel has given lawmakers exhaustive information but will continue to disclose more to the Senate panel considering his nomination. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Hagel has turned over all available speech transcripts but that some of his speeches were never transcribed. He said its vital that the Pentagon position be filled and urged the Senate to approve Hagel quickly. Republicans had complained in a letter that Hagel didnt sufficiently answer questions, including details on all compensation of more than $5,000 that he had received over the past five years. They also pressed him on his recent speeches, which groups he has addressed and on donors to those groups. The committee, and the American people, have a right to know if a nominee for secretary of defense has received compensation, directly or indirectly, from foreign sources, Senate Republicans wrote. Until the committee receives full and complete answers, it cannot in good

far away to mobilize quickly. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attacks. Between midnight and 2 a.m. on the night of the attack, Panetta issued orders, telling two Marine anti-terrorism teams based in Rota, Spain, to prepare to deploy to Libya, and he ordered a team of special operations forces in Central Europe and another team of special operations forces in the U.S. to prepare to deploy to a staging base in Europe. The first of those U.S. military units did not actually arrive in the region until well after the attack was over and Americans had been flown out of the country. Just before 8 p.m., the special operations team landed at Sigonella Naval Air Station in Sicily. An hour later, the Marine team landed in Tripoli. Defense officials have repeatedly said that even if the military had been able to get units there a bit faster, there was no way they could have gotten there in time to make any difference in the deaths of the four Americans. The United States military is not and should not be a global 911 service capable of arriving on the scene within minutes to every possible contingency around the world, Panetta told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Moderately confused

faith determine whether you should be confirmed as secretary of defense. Hagel insisted in a letter that he had been forthright with the panel and said the financial information being sought was legally controlled by certain entities and not his to disclose. Hes been asked what no prior candidates have been asked for, way beyond what the rules of the committee are, Levin complained. The chairman said he would respond with his own letter to the panels Republicans. One of the committees Republicans, Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer, said Thursday she will vote against Hagel. Fisher, writing an op-ed published in the Omaha World-Herald, cast Hagels views as out of the mainstream, a point she argued during his confirmation hearing last week. She also said Hagel gave confusing and contradictory testimony before the Armed Services Committee. Fischers opposition was widely expected, as Hagel endorsed her Democratic rival former Sen. Bob Kerrey in the November election. Hagel is a former two-term GOP senator from Nebraska. Nebraskas other Republican senator, Mike Johanns, has said he supports Hagel for the job. Hagel also has the backing of Sen. Thad Cochran, Miss.

Tigers battle by Lady Jays in MAC action DELPHOS St. Johns has had its share of ups and downs in the 2012-13 girls basketball season as they have struggled to a 8-10 mark. The Lady Blue Jays were looking to put a crimp into someones elses season as Midwest Athletic Conference power and frontrunner Versailles came to Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium Thursday night. Alas for the Lady Blue Jays, it was not to be. The Lady Tigers moved to 18-3 (8-1 in the MAC) with a 45-33 triumph, clinching at least a title tie. Pacing the Lady Jays (8-11, 1-7 MAC) were seniors Katie Vorst with 17 and Jessica Recker tacked on eight. The Jays return to action at home Saturday night (6 p.m. JV tip) against non-league archrival Ottoville. The Lady Tigers end regular-season play (their sectional starts a week earlier) Saturday at Jackson Center. Wildcat grapplers split final tri-match DEFIANCE The Jefferson grapplers split their final tuneup for the Division III sectionals set for Feb. 15 with a victory over Lima Senior and a loss to host Defiance Thursday night. The Wildcats bested Lima Senior 46-33 but lost to the host Bulldogs 36-31. Sectionals are at Lima Central Catholic next week.

became 24-8 by halftime, and held on for a 49-38 win. The win improves the Lady Lancers to 15-5 on the season and 6-2 in the NWC. Paulding falls to 4-16 and 0-8 with the loss. Lincolnview shot an even 50 percent from the field, going 17-of-34. Paulding managed 35.3 percent, hitting on 12-of-34 shots. The Lady Lancers jumped out to a 16-5 lead after a quarter of play and turned that lead into a 24-8 halftime lead by holding the host Lady Panthers to three points in the second quarter. Paulding held an edge from deep 42.9 percent (3-of-7) to 35.7 percent (5-of-14) and on the boards, grabbing 20 rebounds to Lincolnviews 18. The Lady Lancers made up for that by causing 24 Lady Panther turnovers but committed 20 of their own. Pauldings Sierra McCullough led all scorers with 13 points but top scorer Abby Pease was next with only five points. Lincolnview had a nice distribution of scoring, getting a team-high 12 from senior guard Katie Dye, while sophomore guard Julia Thatcher and senior guard Claire Dye added 10 each. Claire Dye led the visitors with six rebounds and Katie Dye had five assists. The Lady Lancers return to action next Thursday for their season-finale as they host the Spencerville Lady Bearcats in NWC action.

HARROD Jefferson and Allen East are looking to gain momentum into the second season, with the sectionals beginning in less than two weeks. The two Northwest Conference foes met up at The Corral of Allen East High School in Harrod Thursday night. The visiting Lady Wildcats hit a layup late in the fourth period to force overtime but the host Lady Mustangs outscored their guests 11-6 to secure a 56-51 triumph. We played a lot better the second half than the first, especially defensively. That got us back in the game, Jefferson mentor Dave Hoffman said. Our man-toman defense was more effective than our 1-2-2 zone and we kept battling back; that was good to see. We forced overtime but just didnt have enough to finish at the end. Tied at 48-all starting the extra four minutes, Allen East (10-8, 5-3 NWC) drew first blood on a 3-point play by sophomore Carly Clum (9 markers) at 3:45. The Lady Cats (7-13, 3-5 NWC) tied it on a 3-ball by junior Hannah Sensibaugh (9 points, 5 boards, 5 steals) at 2:30. Junior Kaycee Rowe (15 counters, 9 boards, 5 steals) put in a tough inside shot at 1:52 to give the Mustangs the lead for good. The Wildcats followed with a turnover and a missed shot around a missed shot by the hosts and then Clum was fouled with 47.3 ticks on the board. She calmly drained two singles for a 4-point spread. Junior Makayla Binkley (12 counters, 3 assists, 3 steals) hit a bomb with 30 ticks on the board to draw the Red and White within one. Junior Lindsi Woods went backdoor for a layin at the 15-tick mark and after Jefferson misfired on a potential gametying trey, Clum was fouled with 4.0 seconds showing. She hit both tosses (Allen East was 17-of-20 for the game for 85%) to seal the deal. We had a great attitude in overtime. We have preached an attitude of look forward to the next play and forget about the past, Allen East coach Jarrod Wehri explained. Jefferson is a good team that hit some tough threes; I thought we closed out well enough but they were hitting them anyway. However, I like how my girls have such a

Jefferson junior Brooke Hesseling defends against Allen Easts Kaycee Rowe Thursday night at The Corral of Allen East HS. Rowe led the way for the host Mustangs with 15 as they grabbed a 5-point OT thriller. (Photo submitted) good attitude and they work really hard. They like sharing the spotlight. Allen East came out quicker to start the game but the Wildcats brought it to a 6-6 tie on a 3-point play by junior Rileigh Stockwell at 4:43. When junior Erin Conkle (14 points) put in a deuce at the 4-minute mark, Allen East led until the Wildcats rallied in the final seconds of regulation. She scored six points and junior London Richardson five in the period, including a trifecta from the left corner with 4.1 ticks on the board, to put the home team up 17-8. The visitors chipped away at the deficit in the second stanza, getting within 17-15 on a trio from the right corner by junior Katie Goergens (12 points, 3 blocks) at 6:14. The Mustangs answered that challenge on a 3-point play by senior Morgan Truex at 5:47 and they hit 6-of-7 freebies to help stave off the Lady Jeffcats. When Conkle hit two from the charity line with 5.4 seconds to go, they led 27=19. The Lady Cats got another 3-point play by Stockwell (12 points, 6 caroms) 48 seconds into the third period to close within 27-22 but the Mustangs seemed on the verge of taking command. They built a 37-24 edge on a deuce by senior Jadin Salyers (5 boards, 5 assists) at the 3:25 mark, with Stockwell battling foul trouble; however, the guests made a 7-0 spurt to close the period, with Binkley hitting two from the line with 40.5 ticks showing, to make it 37-31, Allen East. The hosts kicked it back to a double-digit edge twice in the fourth period, the last at 43-33 on a Conkle basket at 5:35. Back came the Red and White, with Goergens lead-

ing the way with nine points before she fouled out at 49.4 seconds. Allen East missed two front ends of the bonus (then and at :12.9) around 1-of-2 singles by sophomore Brooke Culp that could have sealed the deal. Down 45-43, the Wildcats got the board and pushed the ball. A halfcourt toss was well short but Sensibaugh was waiting under the basket for a layup with 3.1 ticks left to tie the game. Allen East couldnt get a shot off as time expired in regulation. Jefferson ended up 17-of45 shooting (6-of-15 3-balls) for 37.4 percent and 11-of-18 at the line (61.6%); seizing 29 boards (6 offensive) as Culp added six; and amassing 23 turnovers and 17 fouls. Junior Gabby Pimpas added three dimes. Jefferson visits Fort Jennings Monday. We didnt play very well the first half; we just didnt come out well, Hoffman added. We missed about three layups and then we got into too much of a hurry after that, forcing up shots. We seemed to settle down the second half and showed more patience. Allen East totaled 19-of42 shooting (1-of-8 long balls) for 45.2 percent; 25 caroms (1 offensive); and 21 miscues and 13 fouls. They host Shawnee Saturday. In junior varsity action, sophomore Heather Pohlman led Jefferson (6-13, 2-6 NWC) with 13 points in a 33-22 triumph. Sophomore Aubri Woods countered with 15 for Allen East.

The Associated Press BASEBALL SEATTLE Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners are working on a $175 million, 7-year contract that would make him the highest-paid pitcher baseball, according to a person with knowledge of the deals details. The person spoke to The Associated Press Thursday on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been completed. USA Today first reported the deal. Seattle would add $134.5 million of guaranteed money over five years to the contract of the 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner, whose current agreement calls for him to receive $40.5 million over the next two seasons. Hernandezs total dollars would top CC Sabathias original $161 million, 7-year contract with the New York Yankees and his $25 million average would surpass Zack Greinkes $24.5 million under his new contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. TORONTO Still waiting for Cooperstown, Tim Raines can say hes a Hall-of-Famer. The former Montreal Expos outfielder was selected for induction into the Canadian Baseball of Fame. Also included in the class of 2013 are former outfielders George Bell and Rob Ducey as well as former announcer Tom Cheek and long-time minor-league owner Nat Bailey. No players were elected into baseballs Hall of Fame this year by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Raines was fifth in BBWAA balloting with 297 votes (52.2 percent), well short of the 75 percent required for induction. CYCLING AUSTIN, Texas A Dallas promotions company sued Lance Armstrong, demanding he repay $12 million in bonuses and fees it paid him for winning the Tour de France. SCA Promotions had tried in a 2005 legal dispute over the bonuses to prove Armstrong cheated to win before it ultimately settled and paid him. Armstrong recently acknowledged using performance-enhancing drugs after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in 2012 detailed a sophisticated doping program by his Armstrongs teams. Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France victories and given a lifetime ban from sports. Now, the company contends in its lawsuit, Armstrong and agent Bill Stapleton lied and conspired to cheat SCA out of millions. FOOTBALL NASHVILLE, Tenn. Gregg Williams thanked NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for reinstating him and he also apologized while taking full responsibility for his role in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal. The NFL reinstated Williams on Thursday morning and the Tennessee Titans hired him as a senior defensive assistant. The league issued a statement saying

that Goodell cited several reasons for reinstating Williams, including Williams accepting responsibility for his role in the bounty program, his commitment to never be involved in any pay-for-performance system and pledging to teach safe play and respect for the rules. Williams, suspended indefinitely last March, is the last person involved in the scandal to be reinstated by league. New Orleans coach Sean Payton had his suspension lifted on Jan. 22. EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Adrian Peterson put up one of the best seasons by a running back in NFL history to run away with the MVP award. Now imagine what he could do if he was actually fully healthy. Peterson had surgery to repair a sports hernia in his abdomen, an injury that bothered him for much of the last month of the season while he came up just 8 yards short of Eric Dickersons single-season rushing record. PENN STATE HARRISBURG, Pa. The NCAA said a judge should throw out the federal antitrust lawsuit the governor filed against it over Penn States $60 million fine and other penalties resulting from the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal. College sports governing body wrote in a filing that it disagrees with just about every allegation in the complaint against it initiated by Gov. Tom Corbett last month. The NCAA ruled the penalties imposed under a July consent decree with the university are unrelated to regulation of economic activity, so antitrust law does not apply. It also argued Corbett lacks standing to sue and called his lawsuit an inappropriate attempt to drag the federal courts into an intra-state political dispute. AUTO RACING CHARLOTTE, N.C.

WAPAKONETA- The Van Wert Lady Cougars travelled to Wapakoneta High School to take on the Wapak Lady Redskins on Thursday night in Western Buckeye League action and lost a hard-fought battle 51-50. I couldnt be prouder of the girls, said Van Wert coach Lance Moonshower. I think we got down 17-3 to start the game and we had no energy. Then we switched out of our zone and went to man. Then they really picked it up, fought their butts off and fought back to a tie game. Wapak hit some shots at the end. I told these girls, you dont feel like you deserve to lose that (game) but I guarantee Wapak feels that they didnt deserve to lose that game. It was just a really hard-fought game that was very fun to be a part of. Wapak jumped out to a 10-1 lead to start the first quarter, getting five points, including a 3-pointer, from Sara Warner. After a 3-point play by Annie Henderson, Wapak had a 13-3 lead over the Lady Cougars. Van Wert ended the first quarter on a high note as Erin Morrow nailed a 3-pointer to make the Lady Redskin lead at the end of the first stanza 17-6. The second quarter was a different story as the Lady Cougars battle back into the game with good defense and better shot selection. Claire Butler got the first four points of the period for Van Wert to cut the lead to 17-10. Another Morrow 3-pointer cut the Wapak lead to 23-15. The Lady Cougars got a layup from Cheyenne Handy and two foul shots from Livia Butler to make it 23-22, Lady Redskins. Alexa Dunlap then sunk a free throw to tie the game up at 23 with just a couple of minutes left in the first half. Wapak got a late layup from Megan Watt to go into the intermission with a 25-23 lead over Van Wert. To start the third quarter, the Lady Cougars got a pair of layups from Alexis Dowdy to take a a 30-28 lead. The Lady Redskins tied the game at 36 with layups from Watt and Henderson. The Lady Cougars countered that with a 5-1 run to end the third quarter, with all five points coming from Dunlap, including a 3-point play to the end the period and make the score 41-37, Van Wert. Wapak open the final period with two quick jumpers from Brown to tie the game at 41. The Lady Redskins got a 3-pointer from Warner to give them a 46-43. Van Wert got a 3-pointer from Morrow and three points from Dowdy to make the score 49-46, Lady Cougars. Wapak countered with two fouls shots from Amy Hume to cut the Lady Cougar lead to 49-48. Then the Lady Redskins got a Warner basket and free throw from Maddie Stiles to take a 51-49 lead. Van Wert got a foul shot from Claire Butler but thats all the Lady Cougars could manage as Wapak pulled out the victory. Henderson had 11 points to lead the Lady Redskins and Warner had 10.

Morrow led all scorers with 18 points on the night, Dowdy added in 11 points for Van Wert. We told them to keep doing what they did the second quarter, not what they did the first quarter. In the third quarter we came out and had a good quarter, added Moonshower. I dont think we really did anything differently in the fourth; we had some girls who got tired who have been sick all week long; they were a little dragging but they sucked it up. I cant put my finger on anything that was different from the third and fourth quarter. They just made some shots on us. The win improves the Redskins to 6-2 in the WBL and 10-10 overall on the year. The loss drops the Cougars to 2-6 in the WBL and 9-11 overall on the season. They visit Lima Senior Tuesday.

Lady Knights rally to dump Pirates By JIM COX

DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com

BLUFFTON - Its often said that a game was a lot closer than the final score indicated. Never was that more true than Thursday night when Crestview took down Bluffton 47-37. The Lady Knights trailed by seven going into the fourth quarter but won that stanza 24-7 to escape with the win. Crestview is 18-2 overall, 8-0 in the Northwest Conference as the undisputed league champions. Bluffton is 9-10 and 4-4. In that fourth quarter alone, Knight sophomore Lindsey Motycka and freshman Emily Bauer scored 10 points apiece. An equally important factor was nine Lady Pirate turnovers. Entering the last eight minutes, Bluffton had a 30-23 lead, but sophomore Mackenzie Riggenbach immediately drained her fourth 3-pointer of the game to start it off. After a Pirate turnover, Motycka hit the first of two freebies after being fouled on a put-back. Bluffton senior Anna Crisp split a pair at the line but Motycka was fouled on another putback and hit both charity tosses 31-29, Bluffton, at 4:57. The Pirates pesky point guard, junior Sara Schriner, sliced inside for a layup to lead by four. However, Bauer then canned three straight layups (on entry passes from sophomore Kennis Mercer, sophomore Terra Crowle and Mercer) to get the first Crestview lead of the game 35-33. Bluffton senior Katie Palte escaped for an open layup to tie it at 35-35 with 3:17 left. Helped by four straight Pirate turnovers, the Knights went on a 6-0 spree to put it away: 3-point play by Motycka, two Bauer free throws and a Riggenbach free throw. Schriner slashed inside again at 34 seconds to give Bluffton brief hope, 41-37, but Crestview then iced it with two Bauer free throws and two Motycka layups. The first quarter couldnt have been a sharper contrast to the fourth. After a 2-2 tie, the hosts scored the next 14 points to lead 16-2. Bauer hit the second of two free throws to make it 16-3 after one. The hot-shooting Pirates were 7-of-10 from the field at that point, the Knights 1-of-7. The momentum turned 180 degrees in the second period. Long-range sniper

Riggenbach started it with two consecutive threes and Bauer nailed a 15-foot angle shot to narrow the gap to 16-11. After a Bluffton free throw, Riggenbach pilfered the ball and went the distance. Crowle rattled in a trifecta from straight out to narrow it to 17-16 but Pirate junior Paige Buroker trumped that with one of her own just before the buzzer to make it 20-16 at the break. The third period was the only one that was remotely close. Blufftons lead fluctuated between four and eight during that quarter but the Pirates got the better of it, winning the period 10-7 to take a 7-point lead into the fourth. About everything we could do wrong, we were doing wrong, especially defensively, said Knight coach Greg Rickard of the first-quarter travails. We were falling down and giving them layups. Our goal (then) was to just get it within reason going into halftime and we did a good job of that. At least down four, we knew it was anybodys game. I was kinda hoping we would do a little more damage in the third quarter but we were down seven going into the fourth. Defensively, we just had to tighten it up a little bit. Second quarter, we did a lot better. Then the fourth quarter we did a great job like were capable of doing. The statistics reflected the wildness of the game. Bluffton outshot Crestview by a wide margin from the field 59 percent (16-of-27) to 44 percent (16-of-36); however, that was offset by a huge disparity in turnovers 18 for the Pirates, five for the Knights. Although both teams shot a lowly 50 percent from the stripe, the visitors shot 20, the home team four. Rebounds were even: 17 apiece. Bauer, who didnt start because of an illness on Wednesday, led all scorers with 17. Riggenbach and Motycka added 15 and 12 points, respectively. Schriner had 13 for Bluffton. The Crestview junior varsity (13-5 overall, 8-0 in the NWC) cruised to a 38-28 win. Brady Guest led Knight scoring with 14. Sami Fruchey had 10 for Bluffton. Crestview hosts Wayne Trace Monday.

Two important factors you need to consider are your feelings and emotions. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If there is a project youd like to launch but havent done so for one reason or another, you might get the perfect opportunity to let er rip. It would be a mistake to put it off any longer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Begin to establish some loftier goals than those to which youve been accustomed.

The sexual revolution trumps doctrine again

Back in 1969, the same year as Woodstock, Gallup Poll researchers asked Americans this moral question: Do you think it is wrong for a man and a woman to have sexual relations before marriage, or not? Yes, wrong, responded 68 percent of those polled, while 21 percent said, No, not wrong. By 1973, the traditionalist total affirming that premarital sex was wrong was down to 47 percent and the minority of those disagreeing rose to 43 percent. In 1991, only 40 percent considered premarital sex immoral, with 54 percent disagreeing. Anyone paying attention to the moral math could see the trend. By 2001 the number of Americans who took the conservative stance was leveling off at 38 percent, but the percentage of those embracing the liberal, progressive position was up to 60 percent. The numbers were relatively flat in 2011, with 60 percent accepting premarital sex and 36 percent continuing to call it immoral. Things have been pretty steady recently among the Americans who are religiously active, noted Ed Stetzer, the president of LifeWay Research, which is linked to the 16 million-member Southern Baptist Convention. The real action has been on the other side of the spectrum, among the

On Religion
people who are atheists, or agnostics, or who have no affiliation with any particular religious group. Then you have the people that I call the mushy middle, who remain connected to some religious faith, sort of, but not active in any real sense of the word. ... Thats where were seeing people changing their minds on sexuality. The results of a recent LifeWay survey suggest that Americans who have, in recent decades, embraced premarital sex as a moral norm are continuing to edit their beliefs to go with the flow of the Sexual Revolution. The hot-button issue at the moment, of course, is same-sex marriage. This is a political and cultural puzzle that -- for believers in various world religions -- is closely connected to a number of ancient doctrines linked to sexual morality. According to a November 2012 sur-

vey by LifeWay, only 37 percent of adults in the United States affirmed traditional teachings that homosexual behavior is sinful. This finding was significant since 44 percent took that stance in another survey -- asking the same question -- only 14 months earlier. The number of respondents saying, I dont know also rose 4 percent, to 17 percent. What happened in between? The researchers were very aware, said Stetzer, that -- halfway between these two surveys -- President Barack Obama announced a long-expected change of heart and openly endorsed same-sex marriage. While the presidents words may have helped move some of the numbers, the change among African-Americans appeared to be minimal, with 36 percent saying homosexual acts were sinful in the first survey and 34 percent in the survey 14 months later. That shift was within the surveys margin of error. As would be expected, Americans identifying as born-again, evangelical or fundamentalist Christians were -- at 73 percent -- most likely to call homosexual behavior a sin. Only 33 percent of Catholics in this survey agreed. A clear pew gap also emerged, as usual, with 87 percent of those who said they attend worship services once a week

or more affirming the traditional doctrinal stance. On the other side, only 17 percent of those who said they never attend worship services said that homosexual behavior is a sin. In light of these trends, its easy to see why the Rev. Louie Giglio, an evangelical leader in campaigns against human trafficking, was accused of anti-gay rhetoric and forced to withdraw from giving the benediction at the second Obama inauguration rite. In a sermon recorded 15 years earlier, Giglio had said: If you look at the counsel of the word of God -- Old Testament, New Testament -- you come quickly to the conclusion that homosexuality is not an alternate lifestyle. ... Homosexuality is sin. It is sin in the eyes of God, and it is sin according to the word of God. Clearly, these words are highly offensive to defenders of the Sexual Revolution. Indeed, times have changed. Giglios words, said Stetzer, were simply mainstream evangelical expressions of what traditional Christians have believed for 2,000 years. ... But what we are learning is that a growing majority of Americans no longer feel comfortable with words like sin.
