HERALD
Delphos, Ohio nesses we do have to rejuvenate or to recruit new businesses. Are we actively trying to bring other viable businesses from other cities to explore Delphos as a second location for them? We need unique and exciting things to open up over the next year to encourage people to come and visit Delphos for their shopping over the big box stores. We have a great deal to offer in this friendly city but we better be about it soon or we will not have much to call home anymore. Maag and his constituents are forming a task force to start looking at options to draw people to downtown Delphos merchants and consumers alike. Call him at 419-692-1888, stop by Black Swamp Antiques or email him at bmaag@phoenixgroup.org to become part of the task force. We can sit back and bemoan our losses or we can move forward and make things happen, Maag said. Its up to Delphos.

Business owner sees downtown ghost town

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com ed with other businessowners and we have come to the consensus Delphos downtown will soon be a ghost town if something doesnt happen. Maag and his fellow shopowners have seen several businesses leave Delphos in recent months and another is struggling. To be blunt, our downtown is no longer a viable destination for people to come to compared to cities of similar size such as St. Marys, Celina, Van Wert, Bluffton, Ottawa and Wapakoneta, Maag said. All of those communities have an active downtown. Maag said its not just businesses leaving, its the condition of the buildings and the lack of care paid to them. We have a city block that looks like a war zone, he began. We have vacant storefronts, boarded up windows, street lights out and a lack of visible parking. He also mentioned other issues such as heavy semi traffic and the lack of events to bring people to Delphos such as car shows, farmers markets and other events to celebrate Delphos heritage. We could use some Friday and Saturday night events to bring people out and downtown, he said. Lima has done this very well over the last 10 years. Theres a wide variety of events that could be envisioned and then accomplished to enhance the people flow to downtown. Maag also suggested a Delphos mascot and a float that participates in area parades and promotes Delphos and its businesses. He would like to entice tour bus companies to make Delphos a regular stop to visit the museums, unique boutiques and other attractions. There is no real effort to involve us in major events like the Lincoln Highway Byway Sale which runs right through our city, Maag said. There is no effort to assist the busi-

Village hires Peterman & Associates for WTP

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com

K of C sets free-throw championship

SPENCERVILLE Greg Knestrick of Peterman and Associates of Findlay was in attendance during the Monday night meeting to answer any questions village council had regarding hiring the firm as the Construction Administrator (CA) for the balance of the water treatment plant project. Village Administrator Sean Chapman said he is confident that Peterman and Associates will be able to step in and provide the assistance the village needs for the project. Chapman also said the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) is concerned that the Village does not have a Resident Project Representative (RPR) on-site for the project, which is not a requirement nor will the village be penalized for not having the RPR. Peterman and Associates proposal showed an hourly rate for CA services and separately showed an hourly rate for RPR. The legislation on the agenda for consideration is for CA services only. If council does consider hiring RPR services, there would be less need for CA services so that cost would be lower, Chapman explained.

Council members moved to suspend the rules and pass the motion on its first reading and authorize and direct the mayor to enter into an agreement for professional construction administration services for the water treatment plant project and to declare an emergency. Councilman John Miller supported Chapmans recommendation that Peterman and Associates is a good choice. Miller asked if Chapman was comfortable without an RPR on-site. Im comfortable without an RPR and I have been around Kirk Brothers superintendent and feel he has paid attention to details, Chapman said. Council also passed a resolution in support of the Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission (LACRPC) serving as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Allen County, Ohio Study Area. Chapman explained this legislation is basically a formality and the LACRPC services are ongoing. He said the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) likes to have the legislation presented each year as a reminder to communities that the LACRPC acts as the MPO. The village pays an annual membership fee for the services.

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios election chief has set the hours and days that residents can vote early for the May primary election, saying it was necessary because the Legislature has failed to put uniform times into law. Voters can cast an absentee ballot early by mail or in person without giving any reason. The 2012 presidential election cycle in Ohio was marked by several disputes over early voting rules, including a lawsuit brought by President Barack Obamas re-election campaign. Secretary of State Jon Husted said Wednesday that hes repeatedly asked the General Assembly to write the hours into law, but members have not acted. Our priorities should be to give all voters equal access to their ballots no matter where they live, to provide adequate time to accommodate an increasingly busy electorate and to reduce the chance of long lines on Election Day, he said during a speech at a conference of the Ohio Association of Election Officials. Husted told the bipartisan group of local election officials that he would use their proposal for voting times for the states May 6 primary, in absence of legislative action. Thank you for demonstrating that it is in the realm of the possible for the two parties to come together on setting elections policy, Husted said, in a dig to his former colleagues and fellow Republicans at the Statehouse. Early voting hours for the May 6 primary will mostly be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays for

all 88 counties. Voters will have one weekend day, from 8 a.m. to noon on the Saturday before the election. An election specialist with the League of Women Voters of Ohio called the schedule insufficient for voters. We need some evening hours, and we need at least the last two or three weekends, Peg Rosenfield told reporters after Husteds speech. She said the voter advocacy group was sympathetic to boards that could be strained to provide additional extended hours. But elections are not for the boards of elections, Rosenfield said. Theyre not for candidates. Theyre for voters. And I think we tend to forget that. Almost 1.9 million Ohioans voted using an absentee ballot in the 2012 election a record number for the state. As in that general election, Husted said his office plans to send absentee ballot request forms to all registered voters again this year. Husted and other statewide officeholders are up for election this November. State lawmakers have been mulling other changes to Ohios election law, including a proposal that would eliminate a period in which residents can both register to vote and cast an early ballot. Husted said his priorities for the Legislature included implementing online voter registration and setting uniform days and hours for early voting. Some of the other things they are talking about, frankly, are not my priorities, he said.

LUCASVILLE (AP) A condemned man appeared to gasp several times and took an unusually long time to die more than 20 minutes in an execution carried out Thursday with a combination of drugs never before tried in the U.S. Dennis McGuires attorney Allen Bohnert called the convicted killers death a failed, agonizing experiment and added: The people of the state of Ohio should be appalled at what was done here today in their names. McGuires lawyers had attempted last week to block his execution, arguing that the untried method could lead to a medical phenomenon known as air hunger and cause him to suffer agony and terror while struggling to catch his breath. McGuire, 53, made loud snorting noises during one of the longest executions since Ohio resumed capital punishment in 1999. Nearly 25 minutes passed between the time the lethal drugs began flowing and McGuire was pronounced dead at 10:53 a.m. Executions under the old method were typically much shorter and did not cause the kind of sounds McGuire made. Ohio prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith had no comment on how the execution went but said a review will be conducted as usual. Prison officials gave intravenous doses of two drugs, the sedative midazolam and the painkiller hydromorphone, to put McGuire to death for the 1989 rape and fatal stabbing of a pregnant newlywed, Joy Stewart. The method was adopted after supplies of a previously used drug dried up because the manufacturer declared it off limits for capital punishment. The execution is certain to launch a new round of federal lawsuits over Ohios injection procedure. The state has five more executions scheduled this year, with the next one to come on Feb. 19. What was particularly unusual Thursday was the five minutes or so that McGuire lay motionless on the gurney after the drugs began flowing, followed by a sudden snort and then more than 10 minutes of irregular breathing and gasping. Normally, movement comes at the beginning and is followed by inactivity.

COLUMBUS (AP) A bill passed by the Ohio House would give high-school students a chance to get class credit for religious activities they attend during regular school hours. The bill approved Wednesday would give school boards authority to excuse students from school to receive religious instruction with parental permission in classes conducted at churches or by others at no cost to the schools. Students could get two class credits for the activities. The Columbus Dispatch reports that school boards could approve the curriculum, hours of class time, testing methods and instructor qualifications. School districts could not spend any public funds on religious education, including transportation.

Gifts of the Spirit

www.delphosherald.com

To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
1 Corinthians 12: 7
In First Corinthians, Paul speaks of various spiritual gifts, including the gifts of prophecy, speaking in tongues, healing, teaching, and even helping and administration. It is clear from the context that Paul is talking about individual gifts which benefit the Christian community. Some will be teachers and some will be preachers. Some will speak in tongues while others will interpret their utterances. All are essential for the health and benefit of the whole, in the same way that the parts of the body are all essential for the integrity and well-being of the whole body. We should cultivate the spiritual gifts which God has bestowed on us, in the same way that we should not let any useful talent go to waste. While some gifts are deemed to be higher than others, we should remember that every gift has its place in the wellintegrated community. Prophets and preachers may be more edifying than helpers and administrators, but every church needs its helpers and administrators to function smoothly. We should reflect on our spiritual gifts and how we can develop them to maximize our contribution to our church and the larger body of Christ. Christopher Simon

Our local churches invite you to join them for their activities and services.

sagging belly? Veterinarians also use a weight grading system called a Body Condition Score (BCS) to determine a pets healthy weight on a numerical scale of 1-5. Your veterinarian will weigh your pet at each visit to help you adjust its diet and lifestyle to achieve an optimal BCS. Where does your pet fall on the BCS scale? An easy way to tell is by feeling and looking at the rib cage. 1 (emaciated) = ribs are visible from a distance 2 (thin) = ribs are easily felt and may be visible 3 (moderate) = ribs are palpable without excess fat covering them 4 (stout) = can feel the ribs, but have to push hard 5 (obese) = large fat deposits cover the ribs As always, if you have any questions or concerns about your pets health or weight, seek the advice of your veterinarian.

Disastrous last 12 minutes dooms Lady Jays

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

T-Birds show up late to down Jefferson girls

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The Lima Central Catholic team bus was late arriving for its game with Delphos Jefferson because of the snow and sleet the area received Thursday afternoon. The Lady Thunderbird offense seemed to stay on the bus for the first half but also showed up late for a comeback victory 48-43. Both squads came out in a tight manto-man defense, holding the other team scoreless for over two minutes to open the contest. Jeffersons Katie Goergens finally connected at the 5:50 mark with a 3-pointer from the top of the key. L.C.C. came right back scoring 10 unanswered points with a pair of threes and two fastbreak buckets. Jefferson started to chip away at the lead at the charity stripe and a bucket from Goergens but L.C.C. continued to score on the break or found the open shot in the corner after breaking the Lady Cats press to lead 16-10 at the break. Rileigh Stockwell took control of the Jefferson offense to open the second with three drives for a bucket with two Thunderbird defenders in her face. Sydney Santaguida popped a trey for the Thunderbirds and a 18-16 lead. Jefferson coach Dave Hoffman made his first mass player substitution of the game and it paid off as Hannah Sensibaugh scored on a breakaway after a Jefferson steal. Goergens drilled a triple from the top and Jefferson had the lead 23-18. After two made foul shots by Sensibaugh, Jefferson stole a Thunderbird pass for the fourth time in the quarter. Stockwell made another bucket on another amazing move to the hole over the L.C.C. defense for her 11th point of the half and they lead at the half 27-18. Just as Stockwell owned the first half with drives in the paint in the first half, Madison Stolly did the same for L.C.C. in the second half. Stolly scored in the paint to open the half and the lead was down to seven. Jefferson got its largest lead of the night 31-20 after buckets from Gabby Pimpas and Goegens. The Thunderbird coaching staff wanted their girls to push the tempo of the game and the Jefferson lead was quickly cut to a handful. Makayla Binkley scored on a drive to the bucket and got an assist to Stockwell for the layin and the lead was back to nine. But Stolly scored 14 points in the third quarter to bring her Thunderbirds within three at the end of the period, 39-36. Stolly attempted a 3-pointer to open the final stanza that was off the mark but hit off the backboard for the bucket and the game was tied. Jefferson was rattled by L.C.C.s physical play and the pressure resulted in turnovers by the Lady Wildcats. After Jefferson convert-

Stolly lead the Thunderbirds with a game-high 23 points. In J.V. action, Jessica Pimpas scored nine points but it wasnt enough as the Lady Cats fell 32-20 the Thunderbirds.

Torrid 2nd half propels Lady Green over Lady Wildcats

By BOB WEBER DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE With the snow falling outside again and the temperatures dropping, two Putnam County girls teams renewed their rivalry as the Lady Wildcats from Kalida traveled down snowy and icy Route 224 to take on the Lady Green of Ottoville Thursday night. For the second consecutive game, the Lady Green rallied in the second half to come away with a 47-42 win. The Lady Wildcats, under the direction of head coach Adam Huber, came out strong early in the contest and quickly took control of the game behind five points from sophomore Brittany Kahle and four points each from fellow sophomores Kylie Osterhage and Allison Recker. Thanks to the play of senior Annie Lindeman and her eight points in the quarter, the Lady Green were able to narrow the Wildcats lead to 15-10 after one quarter of play. The second quarter found both teams using the 3-ball for their main scoring. The Wildcats got a big three ball from junior Jackie Gardner and sophomore Joni Kaufman. The Lady Green countered with two threes themselves from senior Taylor Mangas and sophomore Alicia Honigford. The Wildcats led 26-22 going into halftime. The third quarter was the key to the game this evening. The Lady Green of veteran head coach Dave Kleman came out with an aggressive and determined desire to not only take the lead but make it very difficult on the Wildcats with their full-court pressure. Coach Kleman has often this year had anywhere from one to sometimes three freshmen on the floor. Brooke Mangas and Honigford keyed the Lady Green rally in the third period with seven and six points, respectively. The Lady Wildcats became rattled and got out of their game during the quarter and turned the ball over several times as the Lady Green took advantage and outscored the visitors 15-5 to take a 37-31 lead after three quarters of play. The Lady Wildcats, determined to not let their efforts fall short on the evening, gave the Lady Green everything they wanted in the final eight minutes. However, the Lady Green salted away the win from the foul line, making 8-of-10 attempts in the quarter and 18-of-28 for the game. The Lady Wildcats outscored the Lady Green in the fourth quarter 11-10 but fell short by five, with the home squad notching a key 47-42 PCL game win. With the win, the Lady Green go to 7-5 on the year and 4-1 in the Putnam County League. The Lady Green will be right back in action Saturday afternoon as they travel to Minster for a 1 oclock start. The Lady Wildcats (5-9, 1-2 PCL) will be back in action Saturday afternoon as they travel to Lincolnview for a noon start.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. John Elway doesnt see Peyton Manning riding off into that orange Rocky Mountain sunset the way Elway did 15 years ago if the Denver Broncos quarterback caps his record-setting season with a second Super Bowl ring. Elways body was breaking down, having been sacked 516 times 244 more than Manning has been in about the same number of games. I still think hes young and hes playing well, Elway, now the Broncos executive vice president, said Thursday of his quarterback, whos coming off his best statistical season just two years removed from neck problems that weakened his throwing arm. Thats going to come down to Peyton. Its going to come down to what he wants to do. Manning has given no indication that hes anywhere near calling it quits at age 37, although he has dropped phrases lately like light at the end of the tunnel when talking about his career. Elway takes that to mean Manning knows that whenever he does walk away, these are the days hell look back on. Manning is preparing to lead the Broncos (14-3) against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots (13-4) Sunday in the AFC championship. Elway said hell meet with Manning after the season to talk about his future. But the 4-time MVP who will likely have No. 5 soon certainly doesnt seem to be wringing the last Sundays out of his battered body like Elway was doing back in 1998. After all, Manning has thrown for 97 touchdowns in his two seasons in Denver, including an NFLrecord 55 this season. When you leave this game, you want to leave it on your last leg and try not to leave anything on the table. I was just fortunate to be able to be on two great football teams and be able to win world championships when my last leg broke, continued Elway, who retired after leading the Broncos to their second straight Super Bowl title on Jan. 31, 1999. I missed four games my last year. So, could I have gotten through another year? Sure, I could have. But would it have been at the level I want? Was I enjoying the game as much as I had enjoyed it? No, because it took me so long to heal. It was kind of the beginning of the body breaking down. So the combination of both and being able to run off into the sunset made it easier for me.

Browns looking into photos posted by WR Bess

By TOM WITHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND Browns wide receiver Davone Bess has posted a potentially incriminating photograph on his Twitter account that could jeopardize his future with the team and possibly lead to NFL discipline. Bess, who capped a disappointing first season with Cleveland by missing the final two games for personal reasons, posted a photo on Thursday morning on his Twitter page of a small package containing what appears to be marijuana. Some of the green-and-brown colored substance is out of the bag and on a table. The photo has since been deleted. A Browns spokesman said the team is aware of the photos and looking further into the situation,and will deal with the matter internally. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello had no comment beyond saying the league was aware of the photo. This is the second time a photo associated with Bess has brought him under scrutiny. Last month, a photo posted on his Instagram account showed Bess sit-

ting on an outdoor deck and lighting a cigar or possibly a marijuana joint while he sat next to a picture of reggae legend Bob Marley and with a Rastafarian flag draped around the wide receivers shoulders. The Browns traded for Bess on draft day last year, swapping picks with Miami to acquire the dependable slot receiver. Clevelands front office immediately signed the 28-year-old to a 3-year, $11.5 million contract extension through 2016. That deal includes $5.75 million guaranteed and Bess is scheduled to make $3.06 million in 2014.

The Bengals will be slightly different next season as they try to end one of the NFLs longest runs of ries. Add to them 49ers-Seahawks, with playoff misery. The Bengals promoted linebackers coach Paul Guenther a history of nastiness emanating from to defensive coordinator on Thursday, keeping continuity for the college ranks for their coaches and a unit that finished No. 3 in the NFL last season. The move a hefty animosity built up in annual came one day after the Minnesota Vikings hired Mike Zimmer doubleheaders in their division. Now they meet for a spot in the Super Bowl. as their head coach. Are those hard feelings Its also the second time in two weeks for real? that Cincinnati replaced a coordinator with I think so,but itll an in-house candidate. They elevated runalways be that way when ning backs coach Hue Jackson to offensive you have two good teams coordinator after Jay Gruden was hired by in the same division, 49ers the Redskins as head coach. Were going to have some new coaches and its great for receiver Anquan Boldin said. You play us, coach Marvin Lewis said on Thursday. Some new blood, each other a couple times a year and some new energy. Because we cant be the same. We dont get if youre good enough, possibly three to be the same. Weve got to be better in 2014 than we were in times a year. It was the same way when I was in Baltimore playing against 13 and thats what our quest is right away. The Bengals won the AFC North this season but couldnt Pittsburgh. You respect each other as shake their legacy of flaming out in the playoffs. They lost to foes but there is really a dislike. Its a healthy thing, really, because San Diego 27-10 in the opening round at Paul Brown Stadium, making it 23 years since they last won a playoff game, tied for it makes for even more uncompromising action on the field and on the the sixth-longest streak in NFL history. Theyve also tied the NFL record by losing their opening sideline. One of these teams will emerge game three years in a row. And Lewis is 0-5 in the playoffs during his 11 seasons in Cincinnati, trailing Jim Mora by one Sunday from ear-splitting CenturyLink for the most consecutive playoff losses to start a coaching Field headed for New Jersey to play for the sports biggest prize. The other career. I want to still be playing a year from now, said Lewis, will carry into the offseason even more loathing for this opponent. who is entering the final year on his contract. There is no love lost; there is no The Bengals are the first team since the 2006 San Diego Chargers to lose both coordinators to head coaching jobs else- love found, said Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who will find himself where, according to STATS LLC. Zimmer presided over one of the Bengals best stretches of lined up often against Boldin in the NFC defense during his six seasons in Cincinnati. The Bengals fin- championship game. Its going to be ished in the Top 10 for fewest yards allowed in four of the last intense. Its going to be physical. I dont five seasons. Guenther has spent nine seasons on Cincinnatis know if there are going to be handshakes coaching staff, the last two with the linebackers. He worked after this one. That almost goes without saying with with Zimmer to formulate the defensive plays. Since the first day he got here, Ive been by his side most the coaches. When 49ers coach Jim of the time, Guenther said. If you look back at our defense Harbaugh was at Stanford where, in 2008, it has transformed to now. Weve sat side-by-side and incidentally, Sherman played after being recruited by current Seahawks coach put a lot of this stuff together. Zimmer wanted to bring Guenther with him to Minnesota Pete Carroll when he was at Southern as his defensive coordinator but Guenther decided to stay in California he ran up the score in a 2009 win at Los Angeles that promptCincinnati. Ive got young kids; I didnt have to move my family, ed Carroll to ask him at games end: Guenther said. Ive got good players that I really like and Whats your deal. Harbaughs deal has always revolved care for. And really at the end of the day, that was probably the one thing that I said: OK, I feel bad for these guys, this guys around being a hard-edged player and leaving and that guys leaving (as coordinators) and these guys coach. His teams embody that attitude and it certainly has worked in San deserve a good situation. The Bengals will be getting a couple of their defensive stars Francisco. The 49ers are 41-13-1 in his back from injury. Top cornerback Leon Hall tore an Achilles three seasons in charge, are in their third tendon and defensive tackle Gen Atkins tore a knee ligament straight conference title game and back during the season.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court decided 40 years ago that police dont need a search warrant to look through anything a person is carrying when arrested. But that was long before smartphones gave people the ability to take with them the equivalent of millions of pages of documents or thousands of photographs. In a new clash over technology and privacy, the court is being asked to resolve divisions among federal and state courts over whether the old rules should still apply in the digital age. The justices could say as early as today whether they will hear appeals involving warrantless cellphone searches that led to criminal convictions and lengthy prison terms. There are parallels to other cases making their way through the federal courts, including the much-publicized ones that challenge the massive collection without warrants of telephone records by the National Security

High court could weigh Surgeon general adds to in on cellphone searches list of smokings harms
Agency. Though the details and scale are far different searching a single phone for evidence that could send someone to jail versus gathering huge amounts of data, almost all of which will never be used In both situations the government is relying on Supreme Court decisions from the 1970s, when most households still had rotary-dial telephones. Cellphones are now everywhere. More than 90 percent of Americans own at least one, the Pew Research Center says, and the majority of those are smartphones essentially increasingly powerful computers that are also telephones. In one of two cases before the justices, the federal appeals court in Boston threw out evidence police found when they conducted a limited search of a suspected drug dealers cellphone after his arrest. Judge Norman Stahl of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said warrantless cellphone searches create a serious threat to the privacy even of people who have been properly arrested. Today, many Americans store their most personal papers and effects in electronic format, on a cellphone, carried on the person, Stahl said. Under the Fourth Amendment, police generally need a warrant before they can conduct a search. The warrant itself must be based on probable cause, evidence that a crime has been committed, the Constitution says. But in the early 1970s, the Supreme Court carved out exceptions for officers dealing with people they have arrested. The court was trying to set clear rules that allowed police to look for concealed weapons and prevent the destruction of evidence. Briefcases, wallets, purses and crumpled cigarette packs all are fair game if they are being carried by a suspect or within the persons immediate control. WASHINGTON (AP) Its no secret that smoking causes lung cancer. But what about diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, erectile dysfunction? Fifty years into the war on smoking, scientists still are adding diseases to the long list of cigarettes harms even as the government struggles to get more people to kick the habit. A new report from the U.S. Surgeon Generals office says the nation is at a crossroads, celebrating decades of progress against the chief preventable killer but not yet poised to finish the job. The real emphasis needs to be put on the fact that we still have a major and tragic catastrophe going on, said acting Surgeon General Boris Lushniak. The report, being released today, is a dash of cold water after last weeks headlines marking the 50th anniversary of the landmark 1964 surgeon generals report that launched the anti-smoking movement. Yes, far fewer Americans smoke today about 18 percent of adults, down from more than 42 percent in 1964. But the government may not meet its goal of dropping that rate to 12 percent by 2020, the new report cautioned. Nearly half a million people will die from smoking-related diseases this year. Each day, more than 3,200 youths smoke their first cigarette. New products such as e-cigarettes, with effects that arent yet understood, complicate public health messages. And if current trends continue unabated, 5.6 million of todays children and teens will go on to die prematurely during adulthood because of smoking, the report found. Remarkably, the report adds more entries to the official list of smokingcaused diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, erectile dysfunction, the macular degeneration that can blind older adults, two additional cancers liver and colorectal and cleft palate birth defects. Enough is enough, said Lushniak. He urged new resolve to end smoking by increasing use of proven tobacco-control measures, including price hikes for cigarettes and expanding comprehensive indoor-smoking bans that he said currently cover about half the population. The report also encourages research into newer ideas, such as whether lowering the amount of addictive nicotine in cigarettes would help people quit.

In three-horse Oscar race, whos the favorite? Health care website

Associated Press In a hydra-headed Oscar race, American Hustle, 12 Years a Slave and Gravity all have legitimate claims to favorite status. And thats a good thing. Even if a front-runner emerges from the much-nominated trio over the six weeks leading up to the 86th Academy Awards on March 2, the credentials of each film should be plenty to heighten nerves and add to the drama on Oscar night. Its an extremely competitive year, said David O. Russell, whose American Hustle landed 10 nods, tied for most with Gravity, in nominations announced Thursday from Beverly Hills, Calif. It could go any which way. Steve McQueens 12 Years a Slave, an unflinching depiction of 19th century American slavery, trailed close behind with nine nominations, including nods for McQueen, lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor and supporting players Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyongo. Since its festival debut, its been seen by many as the movie to beat, a film bearing heavy historical gravitas that the lighter American Hustle and the literally weightless Gravity cant match. But Russells wild Abscam comedy, thick in 1970s style, has ridden a wave of enthusiasm for its manic performances. Its three in a row for Russell, too, who may be due for bigger Oscar wins than his much-nominated films Silver Linings Playbook and The Fighter managed. A year after Silver Linings Playbook landed nominations in all four acting categories, Hustle managed the same feat with Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper all receiving nods. Then theres Gravity, which, along with nominations for director Alfonso Cuaron and lead actress Sandra Bullock, exerted its force with nominations in all seven technical categories. With $670 million in worldwide box-office, the 3-D space odyssey is easily the most popular of the best-picture nominees, widely credited with reinvigorating the spectacle of the big-screen experience. The three films will vie in the best picture category with Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Her, Nebraska, The Wolf of Wall Street and Philomena. If any of them poses a dark-horse threat, its Martin Scorseses The Wolf of Wall Street, a nearly three hour-long portrait of hedonism and greed that some have said glorifies former trader Jordan Belfort.

Russell Johnson, Gilligan professor, has died WTP

NEW YORK (AP) Actor Russell Johnson, who became known to generations of TV fans as The Professor, the fix-it man who kept his fellow Gilligans Island castaways supplied with gadgets, has died. He was 89. Johnson died Thursday morning at his home in Washington State of natural causes, said his agent, Mike Eisenstadt. Johnson was a busy but little-known character actor when he was cast in the slapstick 1960s comedy about seven people marooned on an uncharted Pacific island. He played high school science teacher Roy Hinkley, known to his fellow castaways as The Professor. There was seemingly nothing he couldnt do when it came to building generators, short-wave radios and other contraptions from scraps of flotsam and jetsam he found on the island. But, as Russell would joke years later, the one thing The Professor never accomplished was figuring out how to patch the hole in the bottom of the S.S. Minnow so the group could get back to civilization. During its three-season run on CBS, critics repeatedly lambasted the show as insipid. But after its cancellation in 1967, it found generations of new fans in reruns and reunion movies. One of the most recent of the reunion films was 2001s Surviving Gilligans Island: The Incredibly True Story of the Longest ThreeHour Tour in History, in which other actors portrayed the original seven-member cast while Johnson and two other surviving cast members narrated and reminisced. In a 2004 interview, Johnson analyzed the shows lasting appeal. Parents are happy to have their children watch it, he said. No one gets hurt. No murders. No car crashes. Just good, plain, silly fun thats the charm. He admitted he had trouble finding work after Gilligans Island, having become typecast as the egg-headed professor. But he harbored no resentment for the show, and in later years he and other cast members, including Bob Denver, who had played the bumbling first mate Gilligan, often appeared together at fan conventions. Johnson, Dawn Wells and Tina Louise were the last of the casts survivors. Wells played vacationing farm girl Mary Ann Summers and Louise was sexy movie star Ginger Grant. Besides Denver, the other stars were Alan Hale Jr. as Skipper Jonas Grumby and Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer as snooty millionaires Thurston and Lovey Howell. Russell was a true gentleman, a dear friend with a fantastic wit, and a wonderful actor, said Wells in a statement on Thursday.

WASHINGTON (AP) Cybersecurity concerns over President Barack Obamas health care website have been cleared up through testing, a government security professional who initially had qualms about the system assured lawmakers Thursday. But a congressional hearing featuring three senior technology experts from within the Health and Human Services Department also revealed a broader internal debate before the hapless launch of HealthCare.gov last fall. One of the witnesses, HHS Chief Information Officer Frank Baitman, said he personally brought security issues to the attention of the departments second-in-command, Bill Corr, as well as another senior official. Its unclear what, if anything, Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and White House officials were told. The maddening technical problems that frustrated consumers for weeks as they tried to sign up for health insurance would pale in comparison if a serious security breach compromised the names, Social Security numbers, incomes and other personal information of millions of Americans. (Continued from page 1) ance claim check for $13,600 for the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) generator that was damaged in a storm in 2013. Our deductible is $1,000 and the total cost of generator repair is $14,600, Chapman explained. The work will be completed on Tuesday. Chapman reported that Poggemeyer Design Group submitted an updated data sheet, project summary, technical specifications and revised drawings for the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) project to the OEPA for their review and plans were assigned to a reviewer on Jan. 6. Due to the snowfall on Jan. 2, Chapman said the water bills were estimated. They were mailed about a day later than normal because of the holiday and inclement weather, he explained. Some customers havent received their bills. Chapman explained the WTP is showing higher than normal water usage and leak detection services will perform a survey of the system. He said village crews believe the leak is in the alley behind the business district along the east side of the canal. Chapman said townwide leak detection has been performed every other year and recommends the village utilize the service annually. Due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the next council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Propane

(Continued from page 1)

A main supplier of Van Wert Propane had an agreement for the exchange of 650,000 gallons of propane available through the end of February. This is 65 semi loads of propane but Van Wert Propane has been told they will no longer be getting this and they are not really sure when they will get another shipment. Crone, who has been working for Van Wert Propane for 42 years, noted that there was a shortage of propane 25-30 years ago but nothing like the one faced now. Customers propane deliveries will be cut back from 80 percent fillings to 60 percent. Heavy users have already been notified to turn their thermostat back and conserve as much propane as possible. Our supply is very limited but we are not making cutbacks at this time, said Mercer Landmark Propane Manager Hank Lochtseld. Cutbacks are being considered but currently customers are only facing longer waits to get their propane. Many propane companies are currently researching alternative means of receiving propane. The situation is expected to remain tough until the winter weather breaks and will be especially vital to local supply until Feb. 1 when new propane shipments are expected.

The United States is currently exporting more propane than it is importing. Prices have begun to skyrocket as companies extend drives to receive some of the already limited propane supply. Turn your thermostat down, asked Crone. We hate partial fillings but we want to get some to everyone. McCoy noted that this situation will worsen into the middle of next week as temperatures are expected to fall back to the zero or below zero degree mark. It looks like a very cold upcoming week with another couple inches of snow expected on Saturday, said McCoy. Another arctic plunge of cold air is expected to enter the area on Tuesday with temperatures projected at negative two degrees Tuesday night and a high of only 10 degrees on Wednesday and one degree Wednesday night. Wind chills both days may reach at least 15 degrees below zero. McCoy noted that these type of temperatures will again spike heavy propane usage to heat homes, businesses and other facilities. With a fuel shortage becoming an issue locally and gas companies requesting customers to cut back, people should consider purchasing space heaters to help heat homes without the excessive use of propane during these times of frigid temperatures.

Council approved paying the villages bills in the amount of $6,004. Recently, resident Greg Leidy submitted a letter of interest to council and the mayor asking to fill the vacant council seat. Leidy is a life-long resident and has served on the local fire department and other organizations. After council members unanimously voted and appointed Leidy to the open council seat, Johnson administered the Oath of Office. Johnson established the 2014 Committees as follows: Finance, Chair Greg Hover, John Miller and John Medaugh; Utilities, Chair Medaugh, Hover and Briggs; Safety/Streets, Chair Miller, Mike Bice and Leidy; and Buildings/Grounds/Recreation, Chair Briggs, Bice and Leidy. In addition, council members nominated and appointed Miller has Council President Pro-Tempore. Chief Darin Cook reported that during the recent snow storm, village roads fared better than other communities roads. He said there was a partial power outage in the village for about four-five hours and the big concern was at Roselawn Manor. I would like to hire one of my part-time staff as a full-time officer and need time to evaluate their performances before making a decision, Cook explained. Chapman reported that the village has received an insur-
