More frigid weather on the way: let taps run

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS More frigid temperatures are on the way later this week and homeowners should once again be concerned about their water pipes. Tuesday evening, the temperatures will fall to zero to 5 with the same predicted each evening through Sunday. Delphos Water Superintendent Tim Williams has some advice for residents on how to keep their water pipes flowing and how to thaw them out if they do become frozen. If you have pipes that are on outside walls, keep the faucet on with a stream about the size of a pencil lead, Williams said. I know there are concerns with water consumption but letting the water run with a small stream will be less costly than a flooded home and/or burst water pipes. Williams also said cabinets should be opened at faucets in the kitchen or bathroom to allow heat to reach the pipes. Preventative measures also include insulating pipes, making sure vents to crawl spaces are closed and insulated and wrapping outside spigots and removing hoses so they dont freeze. If pipes do freeze, thawing them should be done with caution.

Tim Williams, Delphos Water Superintendent Never use an open flame to thaw a frozen pipe, Williams stressed. Use a hair dryer, an electric space heater or a salamander. Just make sure these items are away from combustible materials. Homeowners should also be sure to know where the water shut-off valve is located inside the home.

Report shows poor Christmas shopping season sales in Van Wert County
BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor news@delphosherald.com For the third month in a row, retail sales in Van Wert County fell from one year prior, according to report released by Van Wert County Treasurer Bev Fuerst. This report shows a bad December for county retail merchants in 2013 but still better than 2011 and 2012. Perhaps most alarming about the report is this makes the third straight month showing a decrease after a period of growth 35 months with only seven decreases reported. The report shows a slightly slower Christmas shopping season in 2013 with a loss of just over five percent for November and just shy of 11 percent for December. October 2013 tax revenue in the county was off more than four percent. A breakdown of sales categories in the February report of December sales showed nothing revealing about the report, aside from lower sales across the board. Fuerst admitted that it just appeared to be a slower month for sales.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Through rain and wrecks, on Daytonas longest day, this was a drought Dale Earnhardt Jr. was determined to end. NASCARs most popular driver won the Daytona 500 on Sunday night for the second time a decade after his first victory while snapping a 55-race losing streak dating to 2012. Winning this race is the greatest feeling that you could feel in this sport besides accepting the trophy for the championship, said Earnhardt, who climbed from his car in Victory Lane and hugged every member of his Hendrick Motorsports crew. I didnt know if Id ever get the chance to feel it again and it feels just as good. As he crossed the finish line in his No. 88 Chevrolet, the few who withstood a rain delay of 6 hours, 22 minutes screaming their support, Earnhardt euphorically radioed his crew, This is better than the first one!

The good news in the report shows that sales for the month are still up over 2012. The total collection in February 2014 was over $337,700. One year earlier, the total was nearly $379,000, but two years ago the figure was only $313,000. The February 2011 total was over $322,700. So, the tax collections are coming in between the figures from 2012 and 2013. At this rate, the total collections should exceed the budgeted figure of $4,020,000. In 2012, just under $4.0 million was collected in Van Wert County in retail transactions. In 2013 that number jumped to more than $4.13 million. While there is no cause for alarm, the report showed a little disappointment in the Christmas retail season in the county. The next bit of economic news expected will be the January unemployment figures for the state which will be released on March 7 and the county rates which will be revealed March 11. In December 2013s report, the jobless figure took a large drop to just 6.1 percent in Van Wert County which was down from Novembers 6.8 percent. The Ohio state unemployment rate dropped from 7.4 percent in November to 7.2 percent in December.

Oldest-known Holocaust survivor dies at 110

SYLVIA HUI Associated Press LONDON Alice HerzSommer, believed to be the oldest Holocaust survivor, died at age 110 on Sunday, a family member said. The accomplished pianists death came just a week before her extraordinary story of surviving two years in a Nazi prison camp through devotion to music and her son is up for an Oscar. Herz-Sommer died in a hospital after being admitted Friday with health problems, daughter-in-law Genevieve Sommer said. We all came to believe that she would just never die, said Frederic Bohbot, a producer of the documentary The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life. There was no question in my mind, would she ever see the Oscars. The film, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Malcolm Clarke, has been nominated for best short documentary at the Academy Awards next Sunday. Another producer on the film, Nick Reed, said telling her story was a life-changing experience. Even as her energy slowly diminished, her bright spirit never faltered, she said. Her life force was so strong we could never imagine her not being around. Herz-Sommer, her husband and her son were sent from Prague in 1943 to a concentration camp in the Czech city of Terezin Theresienstadt in German where inmates were allowed to stage concerts in which she frequently starred. An estimated 140,000 Jews were sent to Terezin and 33,430 died there. About 88,000 were moved on to Auschwitz and other death camps, where most of them were killed. Herz-Sommer and her son, Stephan, were among fewer than 20,000 who were freed when the notorious camp was liberated by the Soviet army in May 1945. Yet she remembered herself as always laughing during her time in Terezin, where the joy of making music kept them going. These concerts, the people are sitting there, old people, desolated and ill, and they came to the concerts and this music was for them our food. Music was our food. Through making music we were kept alive, she once recalled. When we can play it cannot be so terrible. Though she never learned where her mother died after being rounded up, and her husband died of typhus at Dachau, in her old age she expressed little bitterness. We are all the same, she said. Good, and bad. Caroline Stoessinger, a New York concert pianist who wrote a book about Herz-Sommer, said she interviewed numerous people who were at the concerts who said for that hour they were transported back to their homes and they could have hope. Many people espouse certain credos, but they dont live them. She did, said Stoessinger, author of A Century of Wisdom: Lessons from the Life of Alice HerzSommer, the Worlds Oldest Living Holocaust Survivor. She understood truly that music is a language and she understood how to communicate through this language of music. Herz-Sommer was born on Nov. 26, 1903, in Prague, and started learning the piano from her sister at age 5.

As a girl, she met the author Franz Kafka, a friend of her brother-in-law, and delighted in the stories that he told. She also remembered Kafka saying, In this world to bring up children: in this world? Alice married Leopold Sommer in 1931. Their son was born in 1937, two years before the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia. This was especially for Jews a very, very hard time. I didnt mind, because I enjoyed to be a mother and I was full of enthusiasm about being a mother, so I didnt mind so much, she said. Jews were allowed to shop for only half an hour in the afternoon, by which time the shops were empty. Most Jewish families were forced to leave their family apartments and were crammed into one apartment with other families, but her family was allowed to keep its home. We were poor, and we knew that they will send us away, and we knew already in this time that it was our end, she said. In 1942, her 73-year-old mother was transported to Terezin, then a few months later to Treblinka, an extermination camp. And I went with her of course till the last moment. This was the lowest point in my life. She was sent away. Till now I dont know where she was, till now I dont know when she died, nothing. When I went home from bringing her to this place I remember I had to stop in the middle of the street and I listened to a voice, an inner voice: Now, nobody can help you, not your husband, not your little child, not the doctor.

Today is Monday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2014. There are 310 days left in the year. Todays Highlight in History: On Feb. 24, 1864, according to the National Park Service, the first Union prisoners arrived at the Confederates Andersonville prison camp in Georgia. During its 14 months of existence, the overcrowded camp ended up holding some 45,000 men, more than four times its intended capacity; nearly 13,000 prisoners perished from disease, starvation or exposure. On this date: In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued an edict outlining his calendar reforms. (The Gregorian Calendar is the calendar in general use today.) In 1803, in its Marbury v. Madison decision, the Supreme Court established judicial review of the constitutionality of statutes. In 1821, Mexican rebels proclaimed the Plan de Iguala, their declaration of independence from Spain. In 1868, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the Senate.

Cedar Point opens gates for charity event

SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) More than 300 people braved winds and cold temperatures for a childrens charity event at Cedar Point. Cedar Point gave participants a behind-the-scenes view of the park at the Winter Chill Out event on Saturday. Officials at the park in Sandusky say the event raised more than $13,000 for Give Kids The World Village. The 70-acre central Florida nonprofit resort provides costfree, weeklong vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families from around the world.

Mo. spelling bee hits snag, runs out of words

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) After 19 rounds in a Missouri countys annual spelling bee over the weekend, only two of the 25 contestants who started the competition remained. Several hours and 47 rounds later, an 11-year-old and her 13-year-old adversary had used up all of the available words, forcing organizers of the Jackson County Spelling Bee to temporarily halt the showdown. It was legendary, said Mary Olive Thompson, a library outreach manager and co-coordinator of the Saturday spelling bee. Sophia Hoffman, a fifth-grader at Highland Park Elementary School in the Kansas City suburb of Lees Summit, and Kush Sharma, a seventh-grader at Frontier School of Innovation in Kansas City, buzzed through the list of words provided by the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Then they ran through a list of about 20 additional words bee officials picked out of their Merriam-Websters 11th Edition during the lunch break, The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/NoHizS ) reported. But bee officials decided not to pull more words from the dictionary because they worried one speller might get a tough word and the other a relatively easy one, which wouldnt be fair. Plus, Thompson said, at about 2 oclock, I think we were all really tired. Saturdays competition went 66 rounds, she said, while last years bee ended after only 21. Scherzo, fantoccini and intaglio were among the words Kush correctly spelled in the late rounds, while Sophia nailed words such as schadenfreude, mahout and barukhzy. Both of them missed what Kush said was the hardest word: a French word; I have no idea how to pronounce it. It was a long word. With the winner moving on to the national spelling bee in Washington, D.C., in May, both contestants were at the top of their game in the final rounds Saturday, Thompson said Sophia and Kushs eyes were just bright and glowing, she said. It was almost magical. The contest will resume March 8 at an undetermined library site.

Lego Movie lead builds; No. 1 for third weekend

LOS ANGELES (AP) Actionpacked new releases couldnt stack up to 3-D hit The Lego Movie, which took the No. 1 slot in its third weekend at the box office. The Warner Bros. animated film bested Relativity Medias 3 Days to Kill and Sonys Pompeii on their opening weekends. The Lego Movie, featuring the voices of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Morgan Freeman, earned $31.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The domestic total has passed $183 million. Overseas, it grossed $23.1 million this weekend. Heading into full-fledged franchise territory with a sequel set to release in May 2017, The Lego Movie is the highest-grossing film of 2014. Its been really tough for any of the newcomers to displace Lego, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. They had such a great release date that put them in this perfect position to dominate the marketplace for several weeks. For Lego to earn $31 million in its third weekend, that would be impressive in its first weekend for any film in the first quarter. Relativity Medias crime drama 3 Days to Kill, starring Kevin Costner and Amber Heard, came in second with $12.3 million in its first weekend at the multiplex. Pompeii, Sonys boiling gladiator drama starring Game of Thrones star Kit Harington, took third place with $10 million. There was a fairly even gender split for the Constantin-financed film, with the audience breaking down as 52 percent male and 48 percent female. The films slot in the top five was steered mostly by viewers under 30. Pompeii got savaged by critics, Dergarabedian said. 3 Days to Kill wasnt loved by critics either, so you had two films that didnt have a shot at taking Lego out. But these movies did about what we would expect. The box office results for Pompeii were much better overseas, as the film made $22.8 million internationally. In its second weekend, the Sony and MGM reboot RoboCop dropped from third to fourth with $9.4 million. Starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton, the modernized sci-fi film (the 1987 original starred Peter Weller as a cop who gains a new robotic body) is down 57 percent from last weekends domestic opener. For the second weekend in a row, the action film performed better overseas with $17.7 million. The time of year that were in, the movies just arent the critics darlings, Dergarabedian said. These films give people options. But they wont necessarily set the world on fire at the box office. Sonys The Monuments Men, directed by George Clooney, was pushed down to fifth place from last weeks fourth-place spot with $8.1 million. Still, Sony dominated the multiplex with four films in the top 10. About Last Night, starring Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Joy Bryant and Regina Hall, gained $7.4 million in its second weekend after a strong Valentines Day opening. It is down a hefty 71 percent from its opening with a $38.15 million domestic total. Kevin Harts Ride Along, also starring Ice Cube, marks another hit for the comedian as it remains in the top 10 for the sixth weekend in a row. The Universal Pictures buddy comedy earned $4.7 million. It has made more than $123 million domestically since it opened on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Because of its vast success, the studio has secured Ride Along 2. Tim Story will be back to direct, while Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi will return to pen the sequel. Disneys Frozen, locked in at No. 8, refuses to thaw with $4.4 million over the weekend and $980 million worldwide during its run. The animated musical is the thirdhighest grossing domestic animated release of all-time. Rounding out

Paula Deen says shes back in the saddle

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Paula Deen continued maneuvering for a comeback Sunday, turning a beachside cooking demonstration into a public apology for the racist comments that decimated her career last year. The former Food Network star took the stage to prepare chicken and dumplings at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, but before beginning asked the crowd if they minded if she talked about something serious for a moment. Without ever explicitly discussing the allegations or comments she has admitted making, she said she was glad to be back and that, I am not a quitter. We have come off of a very hard summer my family and I, my team, my partners, she said to a cheering crowd of several hundred fans. But you know, I have heard on more than one occasion that Ive never apologized. So if anybody did not hear me apologize, I would like to apologize to those who did not hear me. Deens career has been in shambles following a onetwo punch of public relations disasters. In 2012, she was criticized for announcing she had both diabetes and a lucrative endorsement deal for a drug to treat the condition shed until then hidden. Then last summer, during a legal dispute with a former employee who accused her of racial discrimination and sexual harassment, she acknowledged having used racial slurs in the past. Most of her endorsement, book and TV deals fell apart within days.

Deen has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since then, even avoiding the Food Networks 20th anniversary party last October. But lately, she has made it clear she wants back. Earlier this month, she announced that private investment firm Najafi Companies is investing $75 million to $100 million to help her make a comeback. As part of the deal, shes launching an umbrella company, Paula Deen Ventures, that will oversee her restaurants, cookbooks and product endorsements. And Sundays crowd seemed primed for it all, shouting out to her You dont need to apologize! and We want you back, Paula! Yalls cards and letters that I got, helped me get out of bed every day, she replied. Midway through the demo, Food Network star Robert Irvine joined Deen onstage. Irvine survived his own scandal in in 2008 when the Food Network let him go over discrepancies in claims hed made over his work experience. He eventually returned to the Network, seemingly unblemished. This is a warning to you, Irvine told Deen. Youve apologized. Youve eaten crow. Youre done. Dont do it anymore. Ive been there. Before a roaring crowd, Irvine then got down on his hands and knees while Deen straddled his back and rode him across the stage, a reenactment of a gimmick theyd done during a previous festival. Im back in the saddle! she yelled to the crowd.

Online retailers let you try before you buy

NEW YORK (AP) The fitting room is coming home. Online retailers that sell jeans, eyeglasses and shoes are shipping their products to customers for free to try on at home before buying them. Its a way for newer online brands to hook potential customers. A credit card is needed, but nothing is charged unless the items arent returned on time. The limit for how long you can keep items is usually about a week. Shipping is free both ways and theres no obligation to buy anything. Its a much slower way to shop. You have to wait for the box to arrive, which can take days, and then arrange to send them back if you dont like anything. Most of the companies tend to sell higher-priced items. But online retailers say it works for busy professionals who cant make it to a store. Our customers tend to have more money than time, says Rob Wright, the founder of Bungalow Clothing, which sells high-end womens clothing online and ships boxes of clothes for free for 10 days. Wright says customers like trying on items at home because they can see if they match with the jackets or shoes they already have in their closet. And being at home can be more comfortable than an in-store fitting room. Theres no pushy salesperson and no funky lighting, says Wright. Eric Clark agrees. Stores are annoying. They try to upsell everything, he says. Clark, who owns a tutoring company called Quincy Tutoring in Massachusetts, used to buy his prescription glasses from brick-and-mortar stores. That changed last spring when he stumbled upon Warby Parker, an online seller of eyeglasses, on social media site Twitter. I had never even heard of them, Clark says. He gave Warby Parker a try after seeing that the company would send him five pairs of glasses to try on at home for free. When he received the glasses, he snapped photos of himself wearing them and uploaded them to photo-sharing app Instagram. His friends told him which ones they liked best, and he ended up buying two pairs for about $300. If you plan to try out one of these retailers, make sure you read the rules carefully first. You dont want to keep items for longer than allowed and pay for stuff you dont want. And if you damage an item, youll pay for it. When asked to enter a card number, use a credit card instead of a debit card. Some of the sites will put a hold of different amounts on your account, which is later

the top 10, Universals Endless Love, starring Alex Pettyfer as the romantic lead opposite Gabriella Wilde, brought in $4.3 million, while the Colin Farrell-starring drama Winters Tale gained $2.1 million. Next weekend, the action releases continue as Liam Neesons NonStop hits theaters. Lupita Nyongo, nominated for a best supporting Oscar for her role in 12 Years a Slave, also appears in the film. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. 1.The Lego Movie, $31.5 million ($23.1 million international). 2.3 Days to Kill, $12.3 million. 3.Pompeii, $10 million ($22.8 million international). 4.RoboCop, $9.4 million ($17.7 million international). 5.The Monuments Men, $8.1 million ($13.6 million international). 6.About Last Night, $7.4 million. 7.Ride Along, $4.7 million. 8.Frozen, $4.4 million ($9 million international). 9.Endless Love, $4.3 million ($1.3 million international). 10.Winters Tale, $2.1 million ($2.4 million international). Estimated weekend ticket sales Friday through Sunday at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for films distributed overseas by Hollywood studios, according to Rentrak: 1. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, $32.8 million. 2. The Lego Movie, $23.1 million. 3. Pompeii, $22.8 million. 4. RoboCop, $17.7 million. 5. The Monuments Men, $13.6 million. 6. Frozen, $9 million. 7. Beijing Love Story, $7.3 million. 8. 12 Years a Slave, $6.4 million. 9. Mr. Peabody and Sherman, $5.3 million.

removed, to verify that your card works. You dont want that hold to potentially bounce a check against your checking account. Here are some of the companies that offer free home try-on programs: CLOTHING: There are a couple of clothing retailers to check out. Bluer Denim, which sells Americanmade premium jeans for $98 and over, ships up to three pairs that you can try on at home for seven days. Bungalow Clothing, which sells everything from $200 jeans to $700 leather jackets, lets you text the company when youre ready to ship the box back and theyll arrange for FedEx to pick it up. Women can try bras at home, too. True & Co., which sells bras that average around $25, allows women to try up to five at home for five days. GLASSES: There are also a few eyeglass sellers to choose from. The glasses that Warby Parker sends out are samples that dont have the prescription lenses in them. So youll need to send them all back, and then the company will send you a fresh pair of the ones you want. Most prescription glasses cost about $95, sunglasses with a prescription lens cost more. Rivet & Sway, which sells $169 glasses for women only, has a similar home try-on program. Made Eyewear makes the process a bit simpler, sending out glasses with the prescription you need, so you can keep the ones you want right then and send the rest back. Made Eyewears glasses start at $84. SHOES: Theres at least one womens shoe company that offers at-home try outs. Brian James Footwear will give you 12 days to try on up to five pairs of shoes for free. The company sells its own brand of boots, wedges, flats and sandals that sell for about $98 and up. Shoes that are shipped back have to be in their original condition. ENGAGEMENT RINGS: See which ring looks best on your finger. Ocappi, a high-end online jeweler, will send you six replicas of engagement rings or wedding rings you are thinking about buyting. The replicas are made with cubic zirconia and sterling silver, which replaces the diamonds and platinum or white gold in the real rings. The company also sells rose and yellow gold rings, but doesnt have a replica for that color, however, the styles are the same. You can keep the rings for five days, and then ship them back. You will be charged for them if theyre not returned, even though they are replicas. ANDY NORTH

Buettner takes 4th, advances to State Wrestling

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com TROY The sport of wrestling can be compared to a roller-coaster ride. First, the regular season can be like the slow, methodical pull up the first hill of the coaster. The goal is to get to the peak, which is the State tournament held at The Schott in Columbus and survive the ride. The journey to Columbus begins at the sectional tournament where the top four grapplers in each bracket move onto the district tournament. Its an emotional up-and-down adventure as some wrestlers win to move on and others lose with their seasons or high school careers coming to an end. After sectionals, most wrestling programs only have a few participants remaining to practice and a sense of emptiness sets in. But area schools will get together with their remaining qualifiers and the ride continues. Area schools had 34 wrestlers advance to the Districts tournament held at Hobart Arena in Troy, with Wayne Trace leading the way with eight qualifiers. St.Johns had seven, with Jefferson, Spencerville and Columbus Grove five each, plus Lincolnview and Van Wert two each. It was a rough weekend for area squads as only four survived to enjoy the ride for another week. George Clemons of Wayne Trace and St. Johns junior Wes Buettner both advance to the Division III State Championships after performances Saturday. Buettner began district competition with pins of Adam McCarrick of Baden and Johnny Dean from Northeastern. In the semifinals, Buettner lost the go to state match 5-4 to Ben Miller of Covington. After the disappointing loss, Buettner came back to defeat Jeff Botts from Bethel 7-3 to qualify for state at 170 pounds. The roller ride continued for Buettner; after the agony of defeat and the thrill of victory to make it to The Schott, he had to wrestle one more match. In the consolation-bracket finals, Buettner

St. Johns Wes Buettner earned fourth place in the 170-pound bracket at Troy Division III District Tournament Friday/Saturday at Hobart Arena. He advanced to the State meet starting Thursday. (Delphos Herald/Larry Heiing) lost to second-seeded Brandon Breezley of Blanchester 12-2. I was excited and slightly relieved after qualifying for state to see all the hard work all year around finally pay off, Buettner said about his ride to state. I want to wrestle smart and aggressively next weekend at The Schott. Hopefully if everything goes well, I will make it to the third day and be standing on the podium. The sophomore Clemons of Wayne Trace faced a similar path to the consolation finals with a pin of Camron Coatney from Preble and a tech fall victory over Covingtons Connor Ryan to advance to the semifinals. In the go-to match, Clemons was pinned by Hunter Bray of Dayton Christian in 2:17. Coming back strong to advance to the state tournament, Clemons defeated Justin Gibbs of Clinton-Massie 8-2. In the consolation finals, Clemons scored a 15-0 tech fall victory over Blanchesters Kyle Denier to place third in the 106-pound bracket. Georges father, Coach Clemons, said he was excited about his wrestlers performance and proud. George worked hard in the off season, taking only one week off after his freshman year, practicing year around for this moment. He lost to the projected state champion, Hunter Bray here at districts; hopefully he will get another shot at him next weekend. Wayne Traces other state qualifier was 145-pound Tyler Showalter. Tyler only had a record of 13-1 entering district competition due to injuries but quickly made his presence known at Hobart Arena. In his first match, he scored a major decision over Justis Brewer of Preble 15-4, then pinned Nationals Austin Moore in 3:12 to move onto the semifinals. See WRESTLING, page 7

Redskins, WildKittens garner D-II Districts

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com SPENCERVILLE No matter how complex an offense or defense is, the game of basketball still comes down to one thing: putting the ball in the basket. The Elida girls couldnt do that Saturday night versus Wapakoneta, hitting a miserable 9-of-49 from the field (2-of-13 3s) for 18.4 percent, including an 0-fer in the second period, to fall 48-24 in Division II Sectional final action at Spencerville High School. It doesnt matter what kind of defense you play; if you cant score, you arent going to win. We held a team like Wapak to 48 points, 23 the first half, Elida cocoach Chrissy Billiter noted. Thats good enough to win. The defense has never been an issue for us this year; the offense has been a struggle at times and it was tonight. The Lady Redskins (1310) were topped by 12 points from Sara Warner and 10 by Karli Schneider. They used a mix of 2-3 matchup zone and man-to-man to stymie the Lady Dawgs. The Lady Bulldogs (10-13) received five from junior Sabrina Kline, returning from a long injury layoff, and four by junior Abby Waddle. Riley Culver (7 boards) scored for Wapakoneta first and Elida senior Slusher answered for the Lady Dawgs. When 5-2 sparkplug Maddi Stiles (7 counters, 5 assists, 4 boards) hit a 3-ball for the Redskins at the 6-minute mark, they led the rest of the way. Waddle picked up her second foul at 4:27 and sat the rest of the half and they struggled, only hitting 3-of-13 shots. They made it 7-6 on an 8-footer by junior Brett Pauff. When Warner hit the 1st-of-2 singles at 3.9 ticks, the Redskins led 10-6. Elida was cold in the opener. They were downright Arctic in the second, missing all 11 tries from the field. They also had four of their game-total of eight errors in the span. Though the Lady Skins werent necessarily torrid 4-of-11 (17-of-41 overall, 5-of-16 long range, for 43.9%), it was more than enough. Schneider buried a pair of big treys, the second of which from the right wing at 2:05 gave them a 23-6 halftime spread. Elida finally broke their drought lasting 9:58 when Waddle scored at 7:02 of the third period but when they needed to at least chip into the deficit, they continued to find the shooting range well off 3-of-14 in the third. That allowed Wapak to steadily add to its lead and when Schneider nailed a pair of free throws at 4.4 ticks, that lead reached 36-13. We had that big run and we told the girls that if we could hold Elida down like that, they could do the same to us, Wapak coach Rusty Allen noted. We didnt want to let the foot off the gas; we have had a propensity to do that this year. We were comfortable in whatever defense we were using but it seemed the matchup worked better. We wanted to force them to beat us from the perimeter and did a nice job cutting off penetration, especially Waddle and (Kylie) Downton. Elida showed brief life in the fourth period, getting a deuce by Kline and a 3-ball by senior Lauren Nolan to climb within 36-18. However, they were 1-of-9 the rest of the game and that allowed both coaches to empty their benches and get the deeper reserves court time. We let the nerves get to us in the first half. We could never recover from that, Elida co-coach Elise Jenkins added. We didnt get many second shots, either, which could have helped us overcome our poor shooting; we were too tentative and seemed to be waiting for someone else to make a play. Credit Wapak; I hope they represent the WBL well from here on. See REDSKINS, page 7

Beaver men close with W By Adriane Bruner Sports information assistant BLUFFTON In the final game of the season, the Bluffton men were looking for a victory against Transylvania University. With four seniors in the starting lineup Bluffton jumped out quickly, opening a 15-13 lead with all of the points coming from those donning the Purple and White for a final time. The Beavers took over midway through the second half, rolling to a 72-60 victory over the Pioneers. Bluffton improved to 10-15 overall and 6-12 in the HCAC, while the Pioneers ended their regular season at 9-16 and 7-11 in the conference. As the Pioneers were the first to get on the board, the Beavers were quick to follow with two plays in the paint, a deuce from Dustin Kinn (Alvada/New Riegel) and a Jordan Turner (Swanton/ Delta) putback which was followed by a hoop and harm for Kinn to put Bluffton up 7-4 just over three minutes into game play. Again taking advantage inside the key, Jon Fowler (Cincinnati/ St. Xavier) tacked on

four consecutive points of his own as the Bluffton seniors all came out with a bang for their final game on Copeland Court. Once again using the talent inside, Will Pope (Somerville/Preble Shawnee) came up with back-to-back follows for a 29-20 spread at the 5:52 mark. However, the large lead was short-lived as the Pioneers had two consecutive long range shots behind the arc and an old-fashioned three-point play to make the score 34-32 at the break. The Pioneers picked right up where they left off when they opened half two with a 3-point shot from Parker Stansberry. While Ryan bbeskotte (Fort Jennings/ Delphos Jefferson) made his attempt to counter them with a drive to the basket, the Pioneers secured their lead with a jumper and yet another shot from distance that put the visitors up 42-36. Transylvania held the lead until Pope earned himself an and one call to take the lead and then bolstered by a bucket inside from Thayne Recker (Arlington) that capped a quick 11-2 Bluffton splurge. As Bluffton went ahead 49-47 on a Pope chip shot, the home team never looked back. With the Beavers in the bonus they capitalized with points from the charity stripe while their stout defense kept the Pioneers at bay. With one last tip-in for Pope, the seniors all stepped off the court with mixed emotions while earning their final victory over Transylvania, 72-60. See ROUNDUP, page 8

Big Green holds on for win over Wildcats

By KEVIN WANNEMACHER DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT Taylor Mangas scored 16 points while Brooke Mangas and Lexie Wannemacher added 11 markers each to lead the Ottoville Big Green to a 58-53 win over Kalida in the Division IV girls sectional championship at Van Wert High School Saturday night. The Lady Big Green move to 14-8 on the season and advance to play in Thursdays district semifinal at Lima Senior High School. Ottoville will take on Leipsic in the second game of the evening at approximately 8 p.m. The Lady Vikings are now 20-3 on the year after a 55-35 win over Miller City on Saturday. With Ottoville on top 8-6 midway through the opening quarter, the green and gold closed the stanza with seven straight points. Two charity tosses by Lyndsey Wannemacher, a basket from Lexie Wannemacher and a three-pointer by Alicia Honigford helped Ottoville open a 15-6 advantage after eight minutes of action. We didnt get out to a good start, commented Kalida head coach Adam Huber. I dont know if it was nerves or why but for some reason, we didnt execute early on. Once we settled down a little bit, we did a much better job of executing our game plan.

Knights pull away late for win over DSJ

By KEVIN WANNEMACHER DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com That was a big shot, Grothouse continued. We had gotten some of the momentum back on our side and then they answered right there. Crowles trey ignited an 11-0 run that sealed the Knight win, expanding the margin to 43-28 before the Blue Jays were able to score again. Crestview hit six of eight free throws in the stretch, getting two each by Mackenzie Riggenbach and Kennis Mercer while Lindsey Motycka and Emily Bauer both connected on one of two charity tosses. The girls did a good job of stepping up and hitting free throws there when we had to, Rickard continued. Geise broke the run by converting a foul shot for Delphos St. Johns to make it 43-29 but Motycka added two more Knight free throws to wrap up the 45-29 victory. I am very proud of the efforts these girls gave tonight and all season, Grothouse continued. They gave it everything they had and thats all I can ask from them. The two squads were tied at 6-6 after one quarter before the Knights tried to open the game up in the second stanza. A Kirstin Hicks bucket followed by a Riggenbach trey and a Mercer basket put the red, white and blue in front 13-7 with 5:23 left in the half. After Delphos St. Johns got within 15-12 on a pair of Geise free throws, consecutive buckets by Crowle and Motycka pushed the Knight lead to 19-12 at the intermission. Crestview widened the margin to 27-18 in the third quarter, using a three-point play from Bauer and a Motcyka free throw

VAN WERT Delphos St. Johns gave Crestview all the Knights could handle for 3 1/2 quarters of Saturdays Division IV sectional championship at Van Wert High School. However, the Lady Knights used an 11-0 run late in the fourth quarter to seal a 45-29 victory over the Blue Jays to advance to Thursdays district semifinal against Pandora-Gilboa at Lima Senior High School. The Knights, now 21-1, take on the Rockets (16-8) at 6:15 p.m. at the home of the Spartans. Trailing 30-22 at the end of three quarters, the Lady Blue Jays got buckets from Erica Saine and Sydney Fischbach along with a pair of foul shots by Jessica Geise to get within 32-28. The girls battled all night long and we had an opportunity there in the fourth quarter, commented Blue Jay head coach Dan Grothouse. You have to give Crestview credit though; they came up with some big plays when they had to. We knew coming in that they would be a challenge for us and it would be a struggle, Crestview mentor Greg Rickard stated. They do a great job defensively and you dont get a lot of good looks against them. Crestview, though, got a big shot from Terra Crowle as the junior guard hit a trey from the wing in front of the Knight bench that returned the momentum to the red, white and blue and pushed the lead to 35-28.

Associated Press MIAMI With LeBron James watching from the bench in a suit and tie, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade powered the Miami Heat to a 93-79 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. James was a late scratch after he broke his nose in Thursdays win at Oklahoma City, and his teammates picked up the slack, with reserves Chris Andersen, Michael Beasley and Ray Allen helping the Heat pull away in the second half. Bosh had 28 points and 10 rebounds. Wade added 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. The Bulls also were also shorthanded. Starter Jimmy Butler was a late scratch because of bruised ribs. Joakim Noah had 20 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks for Chicago, which had won five in a

row. The Bulls shot 36 percent. Miami, playing at home for the first time in 20 days, extended its winning streak to five games. CLIPPERS 125, THUNDER 117 OKLAHOMA CITY Jamal Crawford scored 36 points to help the Clippers get the win. Matt Barnes scored 24 points and Chris Paul had 18 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds for the Clippers, who snapped a 2-game skid. Kevin Durant had 42 points and 10 assists and Serge Ibaka added 20 points for the Thunder, who lost their second straight. It was the most points the Thunder have allowed this season. Oklahoma City overcame a 15-point deficit late in the third quarter to take a 115-112 lead on a

before expanding it to 30-20 following a Riggenbach trey. However, the lady Blue Jays picked up a pair of Geise charity tosses to get back within eight at the end of three periods. The loss ended the careers of four Blue Jay seniors. Emilie Fischbach, Brooke Zuber, Erica Saine and Amanda Boberg all wore the St. Johns uniform for the final time on Saturday. The seniors have provided great leadership all year long, Grothouse stated. They have been a key part of this team and have helped lead this team through the ups and downs we have seen this year. This is a quality group of girls and I am very proud of the way they have led this squad and shown the younger players what needs to be done on and off the floor to become better basketball players and better people. Geise scored 17 points to top the Blue Jays, who finish the year with a record of 8-16, while also grabbing five rebounds. Fischbach added five markers and four caroms while Saine chipped in four points. Rebekah Fischer also had three points for Delphos St. Johns. Motycka had 14 markers for the lady Knights while Bauer and Riggenbach added eight points apiece. Riggenbach topped Crestview with six caroms and five assists while Motycka and Hicks picked up four rebounds. Right now, they key is to just keep advancing, closed Rickard. Every game is going to be a tough one at this point and we just have to come ready to play every night.

The Big Green continued to widen the margin early in the second quarter, pushing the lead to as much as 26-14 on a Lexie Wannemacher basket with 4:05 left in the half. However, for the final four minutes of half, it was all Kalida. The lady Wildcats closed the half with ten straight points to get within 26-24 at the break. Jackie Gardner started the run for the maroon and gold with a bucket before a Kylie Osterhage basket cut the deficit to 26-18. Another Gardner twopointer and four straight free throws from Brittany Kahle helped the lady Wildcats get within two points at the intermission. We got into a little bit of foul trouble and Kalida did a good job of taking advantage of that, stated Ottoville head coach Dave Kleman. Ottoville responded to open the second half, putting together a 17-6 run to push the Big Green lead to 43-30. We came out and we were able to convert on some good scoring opportunities, Kleman continued. Taylor hit some big shots for us tonight and Brooke also hit a key shot in that run. The Big Green opened the second half scoring on a Brooke Mangas trey before Taylor Mangas added two more three-pointers for a 35-25 lead. See GREEN page 8

3-pointer by Durant with 2:43 to play but the Clippers controlled the game from there. A 3-pointer by Crawford with 1:30 remaining gave Los Angeles a 119-115 lead. WIZARDS 96, CAVALIERS 83 CLEVELAND John Wall scored 21 points and Bradley Beal had 17, leading Washington to the road victory. The Wizards held the Cavaliers to 11 fourth-quarter points to return to .500 at 28-28 on the season. They also strengthened their hold on the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The strong defensive performance in the final period came after Washington lost Nene to a sprained left knee midway through the third quarter. He had eight points, four

Eventual champion Logan Lacure pinned Showalter in 1:02 to drop him down to the consolation bracket. There ,he defeated Marcus Hummel of Dayton-Christian 17-9 to qualify for the State tournament. Coach Clemons and Showalter decided to forfeit his final match to avoid further injury to earn fourth-place honors in the 145-pounders. Tyler hurt his knee during the football playoffs on the hard turf and came back for one match around Christmas and re-injured it again, explained Clemons. For Tyler to be in this situation after only 15 practices in pretty remarkable. The final area qualifier for the state wrestling meet to be held next Thursday, Friday and Saturday was 285-pound senior Zack Thomas from Van Wert High School. Thomas also started out strong, with a pin of Seth Douglas from wrestling powerhouse Troy Christian in 2:54. He then suffered a pin to Mediras Nick Gelhaus to enter the consolation pairings to face Spencervilles sectional champion Logan Vandemark. Thomas finally earned a pin of Vandemark in the third period to advance to a rematch with Gelhaus. Unfortunately, the outcome was the same as the first with Gelhaus earning a 9-2 victory and Thomas finished in fourth place. The challenge was not quite over for Vandemark as he had to recover from the disappointment of not qualifying for the State tournament to compose himself to compete in one more match for fifth place. He quickly pinned Austin King from Reading to qualify as an alternate. Jefferson senior Tanner Vermule also qualified as an alternate for state with an 11-4 victory over Marcus Hummel, who defeated Vermule earlier in the first round. Vermule then won three straight consolation

matches before being defeated by Showalter. Vermule finishes the season with a record of 38-13, unless a wrestler that qualified to State is unable to go. Not only is the emotional roller-coaster tough on the wrestlers, its even harder for the coaches. One minute the coaches are on cloud nine as one of their grapplers earns a victory and the next minute they can be in tears as a senior loses his last career match and walks of the mat for the last time for his program. Then coaches have to regroup their emotion quickly and sit back down in the chair mat-side as the ride continues for the next match. St. Johns coach Derek Sterling had to say goo-bye to a pair a senior wrestlers, Austin Martin and Nate Schroeder, after they were eliminated on Saturday. Schroeder was sectional runner-up and ends with a 26-12 record this year. Martin won the LCC sectional championship and placed sixth at districts with a 35-13 record. In addition to Vermule, Jefferson head coach Mike Wilson will be without another McConnahea on his squad next season. Senior Dustin (22-14) lost his first match on Friday night but came back with three big wins before falling to Mike Mckinney and ended his Wildcat career in sixth place at districts. Spencervilles Zac Clum is also losing a veteran on his Bearcat squad, Trevor Bockey, leaving with a 28-12 record this season and was sectional runneup. Columbus Grove is graduating four wrestlers that participated at districts and did not advance: Will Selhorst, Brett Sampson, Tyler Schroder,and Alec Gladwell. Doug Hicks (37-13) will be leaving Lincolnview and Gabe Hill (32-17) wrestled his last match for Van Wert.

Costly, political, successful: Sochi Olympics end

Associated Press SOCHI, Russia (AP) Flushed with pride after its athletes spectacular showing at the costliest Olympics ever, Russia celebrated Sunday night with a visually stunning finale that handed off a smooth but politically charged Winter Games to their next host, Pyeongchang in South Korea. Russian President Vladimir Putin, these Olympics political architect and booster-inchief, watched and smiled as Sochi gave itself a giant pat on the back for a Winter Games that IOC President Thomas Bach declared an extraordinary success. The crowd that partied in Fisht Olympic Stadium, in high spirits after the high-security games passed safely without feared terror attacks, hooted with delight when Bach said Russia delivered on promises of excellent venues, outstanding accommodation for the 2,856 athletes and impeccable organization. The spectators let out an audibly sad moan when Bach declared the 17-day Winter Games closed. We leave as friends of the Russian people, Bach said. The nations $51 billion investment topping even Beijings estimated $40 billion layout for the 2008 Summer Games transformed a decaying resort town on the Black Sea into a household name. All-new facilities, unthinkable in the Soviet era of drab shoddiness, showcased how far Russia has come in the two decades since it turned its back on communism. But the Olympic show didnt win over critics of Russias backsliding on democracy and human rights under Putin and its institutionalized intolerance of gays. Despite the bumps along the way, Bach was unrelentingly upbeat about his first games as IOC president and the nation that hosted it. One of Sochis big successes was security. Feared attacks by Islamic militants who threatened to target the games didnt materialize. Its amazing what has happened here, Bach said a few hours before the ceremony. He recalled that Sochi was an old, Staliniststyle sanatorium city when he visited for the IOC in the 1990s. Dmitry Chernyshenko, head of the Sochi organizing committee, called the games a moment to cherish and pass on to the next generations. This, he said, is the new face of Russia our Russia. His nation celebrated its rich gifts to the worlds of music and literature in the ceremony, which started at 20:14 local time a nod to the year that Putin seized upon to remake Russias image with the Olympics power to wow and concentrate global attention and massive resources. Performers in smart tails and puffy white wigs performed a ballet of grand pianos, pushing 62 of them around the stadium floor while soloist Denis Matsuev played thunderous bars from Sergei Rachmaninoffs Concerto No.2. There was, of course, also ballet, with dancers from the Bolshoi and the Mariinsky, among the worlds oldest ballet companies. The faces of Russian authors through the ages were projected onto enormous screens, and a pile of books transformed into a swirling tornado of loose pages. There was pomp and there was kitsch. The games polar bear mascot standing tall as a tree shed a fake tear as he blew out a cauldron of flames, extinguishing the Olympic torch that burned outside the stadium. Day and night, the flame had become a favorite backdrop for Sochi selfies, a buzzword born at these games for the fad of athletes and spectators taking DIY souvenir photos of themselves. Now we can see our country is very friendly, said Boris Kozikov of St. Petersburg, Russia. This is very important for other countries around the world to see. And in a charming touch, Sochi organizers poked fun at themselves. In the center of the stadium, dancers in shimmering silver costumes formed themselves into four rings and a clump. That was a wink to a globally noticed technical glitch in the Feb. 7 opening ceremony, when one of the five Olympic rings in a wintry opening scene failed to open. The rings were supposed to join together and erupt in fireworks. This time, it worked: As Putin watched from the stands, the dancers in the clump waited a few seconds and then formed a ring of their own, making five, drawing laughs from the crowd. Raucous spectators chanted Ro-ssi-ya! Ro-ssi-ya! Russia! Russia! They got their own Olympic keepsakes medals of plastic with embedded lights that flashed in unison, creating pulsating waves of color across the stadium. Athletes said goodbye to rivals-turnedfriends from far off places, savoring their achievements or lamenting what might have been and, for some, looking ahead to 2018. The city where they will compete, Pyeongchang, offered in its segment of the show a teaser of what to expect in four years with video of venues, Korean music and delightful dancers in glowing bird suits. Winners of Russias record 13 gold medals marched into the stadium carrying the countrys white, blue and red flag. With a 3-0 victory over Sweden in the mens hockey final Sunday, Canada claimed the last gold from the 98 medal events. Absent were six competitors caught by what was the most extensive anti-doping program in Winter Olympic history, with the IOC conducting a record 2,631 tests nearly 200 more than originally planned. Russias leader had reason to be pleased as the Olympics dubbed the Putin Games ended. His nations athletes topped the Sochi medals table, both in golds and total 33. That represented a stunning turnaround from the 2010 Vancouver Games. There, a meager

Associated Press MEN OMAHA, Neb. No. 11 CREIGHTON 72, SETON HALL 71 Doug McDermott had 29 points to become one of the top-10 scorers in college basketball history, and No. 11 Creighton survived shaky free throw shooting at the end to post a hard-earned 72-71 victory over Seton Hall on Sunday. Grant Gibbs added a season-high 16 points, and the Bluejays (23-4, 13-2) took a half-game lead over Villanova in the Big East standings. Fuquan Edwin had 21 points to lead the Pirates (14-13, 5-9), who have lost four of five. Creighton missed five of its last six free throws, allowing Seton Hall to stay in the game to the end. McDermott, an 89 percent foul shooter, missed two before Austin Chatman fouled Edwin on the other end. Edwin made both free throws to make it a one-point game with 8.2 seconds left. Wragge missed two free throws with 4 seconds left, but Edwins desperation 3-pointer bounced off the backboard at the buzzer. No. 20 MICHIGAN 79, No. 13 MICHIGAN STATE 70 ANN ARBOR, Mich. Nik Stauskas scored 21 of his 25 points in the second half, and Michigan beat Michigan State to take over first place in the Big Ten. Caris LeVert added 23 points for the Wolverines (19-7, 11-3), who won both regular-season meetings against their instate rivals. Michigan has now won six of

its last eight against Michigan State. The Spartans (22-6, 11-4) led by as many as 11 in the first half, but Michigan State was only up 36-34 at halftime. Then Stauskas and LeVert led a secondhalf charge. The Wolverines trailed 52-51 before going on a decisive 17-4 run that sent the Crisler Center crowd into delirium. SMU 64, No. 21 CONNECTICUT 55 STORRS, Conn. Nick Russell and Nic Moore each scored 15 points to lead SMU to a win over UConn and a sweep of their season series with the Huskies. Markus Kennedy added 13 points and seven rebounds for the Mustangs (22-6, 11-4 American), who have won 11 of their last 13 games. Ryan Boatright and Shabazz Napier combined to shoot 8 for 28 for Connecticut (21-6, 9-5), but each had 15 points. The Huskies had won four in a row and 10 of 12. The Mustangs never trailed. They led by two at halftime but extended that to 10 points midway through the second half. The Huskies cut the lead to 55-49 on a 3-pointer by Napier but Sterling Brown answered with a 3-pointer and SMU held on down the stretch. WOMEN SOUTH BEND, Ind. Kayla McBride scored 31 points and No. 2 Notre Dame jumped to an 18-point lead early and held on to beat seventh-ranked Duke 81-70 Sunday to claim the Atlantic Coast Conference title in its inaugural season in the league.

three golds and 15 total for Russia seemed proof of its gradual decline as a winter sports power since Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Russias bag of Sochi gold was the biggestever haul by a non-Soviet team. Russias last gold came Sunday in fourman bobsled. The games signature moment for home fans was Adelina Sotnikova, cool as ice at 17, becoming Russias first gold medalist in womens Olympic figure skating. Not every headline out of Sochi was about sport. Going in, organizers faced criticism about Russias strict policies toward gays, though once they started sliding and skiing and skating, most every athlete chose not to use the Olympic spotlight to campaign for the cause. An activist musical group and movement, Pussy Riot, appeared in public and was horsewhipped by Cossack militiamen, drawing international scrutiny. And during the last days of competition, Sochi competed for attention with violence in Ukraine, Russias neighbor and considered a vital sphere of influence by the Kremlin. In an Associated Press interview on Saturday, Bach singled out Ukraines victory in womens biathlon relay as really an emotional moment of the games, praising Ukrainian athletes for staying to compete despite the scores dead in protests back home. Mourning on the one hand, but knowing what really is going on in your country, seeing your capital burning, and feeling this responsibility, and then winning the gold medal, he said, this really stands out for me. ROUNDUP: The Olympic flame was snuffed out. No chance of that for the Canadian hockey team, champions again. The Sochi Games completed a 17-day run Sunday with Canadas 3-0 victory over Sweden in the mens hockey final, the last of 98 gold medal events. The end of the $51 billion extravaganza came on a day when Russia captured the medals race, and IOC President Thomas Bach lauded the host city for its amazing transformation. Only three sports were on the schedule, with the other gold medals coming from Russian cross-country skier Alexander Legko and bobsledder Alexander Zubkov leading the way for the hosts in the four-man. The fifth and sixth doping cases surfaced, involving NHL and Sweden star Nicklas Backstrom by far the standout name of the group and Austrian cross-country skier Johannes Duerr. At the closing ceremony, the athletes stuck to tradition by mugging for cameras and taking a last celebratory prance. The flag was handed over to the next winter host, and a giant mascot bear blew out the flame and sent the Olympics on their way to Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The Blue Devils scored six points in the final 7 seconds of the first half and eventually cut the lead to seven points three times in the second half, the final time when Kendall McCravey-Cooper hit a jumper to make it 66-59. But McBride answered with back-to-back baskets to spark an 8-0 run. The Irish (27-0, 14-0 ACC) won their third straight regular-season league title, with the first two coming in the Big East. The Blue Devils (24-4, 11-3) saw their streak of four straight ACC regular-season titles end. Elizabeth Williams led Duke with 20 and Alexis Jones had 15 before leaving with an injured knee midway through the second half. No. 3 LOUISVILLE 73, No. 25 RUTGERS 58 LOUISVILLE, Ky. Asia Taylor had 25 points and 15 rebounds to lead Louisville to a win over Rutgers. Sara Hammond added 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Cardinals (27-2, 15-1 American Athletic Conference), who tied a school record with 17 home wins this season set in 2006-07. Tyler Scaife led Rutgers (20-6, 11-4) with 17 points. Betnijah Laney posted a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds. No. 4 SOUTH CAROLINA 69, FLORIDA 55 COLUMBIA, S.C. Tiffany Mitchell scored 20 points, Alaina Coates added 16 points and 12 rebounds as South Carolina won its ninth straight game with

a victory over Florida. The Gamecocks (25-2, 13-1 Southeastern Conference) matched their overall win totals of the past two seasons and won their record 13th game in SEC play. They clinched at least a tie for the SEC title with Texas A&Ms loss to Kentucky later Sunday. The Gamecocks led by 16 points midway through the second period until Florida rallied with an 13-3 run that cut things to 49-43 with 5:19 left. But Mitchell followed with a open 3-pointer from the left corner before Aleighsa Welch and Coates had inside baskets to restore the double-digit lead. Once more the Gators (17-10, 7-7) fought back to trim the lead to 58-51 and again Mitchells jumper and foul shot put the Gamecocks ahead 61-51. No. 5 STANFORD 65, UCLA 56 LOS ANGELES Chiney Ogwumike scored 26 points and had 15 rebounds to help Stanford beat UCLA. Ogwumike also had five blocks and four steals while Mikaela Ruef had seven points and 11 rebounds as the Cardinal (26-2, 15-1) clinched its 14th straight Pac-12 regular season title outright. It had already clinched the top seed for the Pac12 Tournament. Stanford pulled away with a 14-4 run midway through the second half. Ogwumike completed a three-point play in heavy traffic in the paint and then got a steal and drove the length of the court for a layup to push the lead to 56-42. Nirra Fields led the Bruins (12-16, 6-10) with 24 points and shot 5-for-6 from 3-point range.

Bluffton went 28-of-55 (50.9 percent) from the field, while Transylvania hit 23-of-59 (39.0 percent). The Pioneers struggled to get to the charity stripe as they were 4-of-7 (57.1 percent) while the Beavers went 12-of-18 (66.7 percent). Transy was solid as usual from deep, going 10-of-26 (38.5 percent) while the Beavers were less active from the three-point line, hitting 4-of-8 (50.0 percent). The teams proved to be adept in the ball handling department with just 11 turnovers apiece, but the Beavers showed their might on the boards with a commanding 40-27 advantage. Leading the Beavers was Pope with 19 points, going 9-of-13 from the field with eight rebounds. In a close second was Ebbeskotte with 16 points of his own. Earning a double-double for Bluffton was Recker with 11 points and 10 boards. Leading the Pioneers was Alex Jones with 13 points, followed by Stansberry and Logan Wade who each added 12 counters in the loss. Transy will make the short trip to Mount St. Joseph on Tuesday evening for a first-round matchup with the Lions at 7:30 p.m. Lady Beavers drop regular-season finale By Blade Tackett Sports information assistant BLUFFTON The Bluffton University womens basketball team lost their final regular-season contest 85-73 Saturday afternoon in Sommer Center against Heartland Conference champion Transylvania. The Beavers were hoping for a big win to carry them into their first HCAC tournament game next Friday against Manchester University in Lexington, Ky. Although they fell just short, the Beavers proved they could go toe-to-toe with the 23-2 Pioneers who capped off a sparkling 17-1 Heartland Conference campaign. The visitors came out ready to play as they bolted to an early lead behind Alex Botkin who scored seven of Transys first 10 points just 3:15 into the contest. Bluffton held its ground, however, as sophomore Taylor Knight (Perrysburg) hit two big threes that put them back into the game. As Knight went to the bench with her second foul a couple minutes later, Bluffton turned to its three leading scorers, Brooke Ruffer (Stryker), Kaitlyn Pennekamp (Hamilton/Ross), and Taylor Whitaker (Mansfield/Lexington) to keep up with the potent Pioneers. Just as the Transy contingent appeared to have a comfortable lead, one of the three sophomores scored a couple baskets to get them within arms length. As they found themselves down 10 at the ten-minute mark, a Bluffton run over the next 2:25 sparked by a drive and dish from Whitaker to Ruffer brought them back to within two points. The final minutes of the first half went back and forth as a jumper from junior Belicia Cooper (Painesville/Riverside) put the Beavers up three with 1:35 left. Unfortunately, Transy ended the frame with two buckets and a 46-45 lead. Bluffton was able to hang around the first 10 minutes of the second half, down only five midway through the period. However, the rest of the way was all Transy as they slowly extended their lead to put the game out of reach. The Pioneers were able to convert easy buckets as Bluffton tried to force them into quick turnovers. When the horn sounded, Transy came out on top by an 85-73 final. Brooke Ruffer led the Beavers, recording her 16th career double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Pennekamp had 16, Whitaker added 14, and Knight finished with 10 despite playing just 17 minutes due to foul trouble. Bluffton shot 28-of-71 (39.4 percent) from the field, going 6-for-21 from deep and 11-of-14 from the stripe. The Beavers recorded 31 rebounds, 15 assists, four blocks, and 16 steals. They finished the regular season 14-11 and 10-8 in the HCAC. That was a big possession and Taylor came up with a big shot there for us, continued the Big Green mentor. We had girls who stepped up and made key plays for us. Annie Lindeman hit one of two foul shots to push the margin to 53-49 at the 1:30 mark. The Big Green then sealed the victory with four straight free throws by Taylor Mangas, taking advantage of three Wildcat misses and a turnover, to post a 57-49 lead with 1:00 remaining. Nicole Reindel and Elizabeth Turnwald wrapped up their careers for the lady Wildcats. I am proud of the way we played, Huber concluded. The seniors did a great job of leading these kids and they have shown them the right way to do things this year, both on and off the court. They have been tremendous role models. Kahle paced the lady Wildcats with 17 points and five rebounds while Gardner added 15 markers and five boards. Osterhage also picked up a dozen points and grabbed six caroms. Taylor Mangas had eight rebounds for the lady Big Green while Lyndsey Wannemacher picked up six boards. Lindeman topped Ottoville with five assists.

Two baskets by Lexie Wannemacher kept Ottoville on top 39-30 before a Lyndsey Wannemacher basket made it 41-30. A pair of charity tosses by Haley Landwehr expanded the advantage to 43-30 but the Wildcats would again respond. Kahle ignited the run, hitting two free throws, before Kalida added an Osterhage two-pointer and two Gardner foul shots to get within 44-37. Following a Big Green turnover, Kahle hit a basket and Gardner connected on a trey as Kalida trimmed the deficit to 44-42 at the end of three periods. I give our girls a lot of credit, Huber continued. We have faced a lot of adversity this year and tonights game was very similar to our season. There were times where we could have given up but the girls kept battling and we had opportunities but just couldnt get over the hump. Taylor Mangas connected on a pair of free throws to put the Big Green on top 46-43 before a trey from Kahle knotted the score at 46-46 with 6:30 left in the contest. Kalida did a good job tonight and they played very, very hard, Kleman added. We knew it was going to be a tough game and it

Ottoville junior Halie Landwehr tries to get control of the ball against Kalida sophomore Katelyn Siebeneck in the second game Saturday. (Delphos Herald/Randy Shellenbarger) was everything we expected. With the contest tied at 48-48, a trey from Taylor Mangas put Ottoville on top for good at 51-48 with 3:08 left in the game.

Oil closes New Orleans port, part of Mississippi river

By JANET McCONNAUGHEY Associated Press NEW ORLEANS A 65-mile stretch of the Mississippi River, including the Port of New Orleans, was closed to all water traffic Sunday as crews cleaned up oil that spilled from a barge after it ran into a towboat between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, the Coast Guard said. Officials dont know how much oil spilled, but only a sheen was reported on the river following the collision, which happened Saturday afternoon near Vacherie, 47 miles west of New Orleans by land, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Bill Colclough. No one was hurt and all barges were secured, Colclough said. The cause of the collision was under investigation. By late Sunday afternoon, 16 vessels were waiting to go downriver and 10 vessels were waiting in an upriver queue, Colclough said. He could not estimate when the river would reopen but said it was likely to remain closed overnight. Public drinking water intakes on the river were closed as a precaution in nearby St. Charles Parish, officials said. The water supply in St. Charles Parish remains safe, parish officials said in a news release Sunday afternoon. Both the Carnival Sunshine and the Norwegian Jewel cruise ships were able to leave the Port of New Orleans on Sunday to begin their scheduled cruises, said Petty Officer Craig Woerhle at the Coast Guard Vessel

Traffic Service in New Orleans. The barge, one of two loaded with light crude and being pushed by the Hannah C. Settoon, hit the Lindsay Ann Erickson, which was pushing grain barges, Colclough said. He said the rest of the oil on the damaged barge had been pumped into another barge by early Sunday. He did not know if the Lindsay Ann Erickson was damaged. An online Coast Guard database shows that the 84.5-foot-long Hannah C. Settoon was built in 2010 and is owned by Settoon Towing LLC of Pierre Part, La. The Lindsay Ann Erickson, built in 1982, is 168 feet long and owned by General Electric (NYSE:GE) Capital Corp. of Irving, Texas.

From then on, she took refuge in the 24 Etudes of Frederic Chopin, a dauntingly difficult monument of the repertoire. She labored at them for up to eight hours a day. She recalled an awkward conversation on the night before her departure to the concentration camp with a Nazi who lived upstairs and called to say that he would miss her playing. She remembered him saying: I hope you will come back. What I want to tell you is that I admire you, your playing, hours and hours, the patience and the beauty of the music. Other neighbors, she said, stopped by only to take whatever the family wasnt able to bring to the camp. So the Nazi was a human, the only human. The Nazi, he thanked me, she said. The camps artistic side was a blessing; young Stephan, then 6, was recruited to play a sparrow in an opera. My boy was full of enthusiasm, she recalled. I was so happy because I knew my little boy was happy there. The opera was Brundibar, a 40-minute piece for children composed by Hans Krasa, a Czech who was also imprisoned in the camp. It was first performed in Prague but got only one other performance before he was interned. Brundibar became a showpiece for the camp, performed at least 55 times including once when Terezin, which had been extensively spruced up for the occasion, was inspected by a Red Cross delegation in June 1944. The opera featured in a 1944 propaganda film which shows more than 40 young performers filling the small stage during the finale. In 1949, she left Czechoslovakia to join her twin sister Mizzi in Jerusalem. She taught at the Jerusalem Conservatory until 1986, when she moved to London. Her son, who changed his first name to Raphael after the war, made a career as a concert cellist. He died in 2001. Anita Lasker-Wallfish, a friend and fellow concentration camp survivor, said Herz-Sommer was still lively during a visit last week. She was a real optimist, she said, adding that the pair used to play Scrabble together frequently until Herz-Sommers eyes failed her. She was feeling very unwell and she went to the hospital last Friday. I think she had enough. She added that Herz-Sommer lived a modest life, and would probably balk at the media attention directed at her death. She didnt think of herself as anybody very special, she said. She would hate any fuss to be made.

Glorias got a 16-yearold grandchild who dresses like a streetwalker. And her mother, Robin, buys her clothes. When the kid is not on the phone, shes got those little earplugs in her ears. Her brother is 24 and lives in the basement. I think Robin leaves plates of food for him at the cellar door. I dont think shes seen him in five years. The funny thing is, Robin thinks Amos and I were bad parents -- like shes done such a fine job. Ill agree that we were not the best parents, but its not our job to be the best parents. Its not a competition. Its our job just to be the parents. Whats that comediennes name? The one who used to be funny. Roseanne? She used to say that if my kids are alive by they time theyre 18, I did my job. Robin thinks I was a lousy parent because I made her say please and thank you and I made her go to school every day and checked her report cards and made sure she did her homework and wouldnt let her

date until she was 16 and I didnt buy her a brand-new car when she turned 16 and I wouldnt spend $300 on her prom dress and rent a limousine for her and all her little friends. She sure wasnt going to raise her kids the way I did. No, I didnt go to every basketball game and track meet, and I rolled my eyes at the thought of a first-grade graduation, but I did pack her lunch every day and make sure she had clean clothes to wear. All of which makes me a horrible person. Winner of the Mommie Dearest award for fine parenting. What was I thinking? So, of course, she gets married to the first person that doesnt look at her funny so she can get out of her stupid, evil mothers house. Now shes on husband num-

I have now met a man who Its been three months, seems similar to my late husand Im still hurting. Any band. I really like Don, but advice? -- Disappointed Dad I worry that he only wants a caregiver. When we first met, I asked whether he had any health issues, and he said no. But after our second date, he started saying our relationship wasnt moving fast enough. After a month, Don ended up in the hospital with a mild heart attack, for which he needed a stent. A week later, he was back in the hospital. I think Don lied to me about his health and is looking for someone to be a nursemaid. I like him, but Im not willing to put forth that kind of effort for a man who has lied to me. I dont mean to sound callous, but I dont want to take care of a stranger. It is different when you have loved someone for a while, as opposed to walking into a relationship with someone who already has health problems. Am I doing the right thing by breaking it off, or should I go along and see what is ahead for us? I really am confused. -- Dont Want To Be Saddled So Soon Dear Dont: Heart attacks are generally unexpected, so unless Don was aware that he

ber three and her own children are a mess. And guess what? Somehow, thats all my fault. Every time I hear someone talk about a dysfunctional family, I want to scream, But nobody has a functional family! Its not possible. Someones always out of step. Remember Jimmy Carters brother Billy? The Kennedys and the Rockefellers have all had their problem children. And adults. If the Queen of England cant keep her children and grandchildren in line, with all her money and servants and nannies, how are we supposed to do it? You dont have to dig too deep to find addictive, selfdestructive people in any family. The words step-sister or half-brother or first wife or first husband ring a bell? It cant mean good times. Some people think we should visit a therapist. Tell you what. Lets meet the therapists family first. What are the therapists kids like? What is their relationship with their parents, with their brothers and sisters? Ill bet

its no better than yours or ours. One Thanksgiving, when Robins children were still young, one of them was pouting about not having any friends at school and I said, You want friends? Do something friendly. You want to be liked? Do something likable. You want to be loved? Be lovable. Pouting at Thanksgiving while some people have nothing is not very likeable. Robin scolded me for blaming the victim. If a child can do no wrong, I said, it will do no right. Whats funny about this is that my other daughter, Melanie, is so happy. Her children are fun, we like her husband, the whole family is a joy to be with. She was a great kid, and shes grown into a successful, happy, busy adult. We raised her exactly like Robin. Go figure.

had heart problems, he may not have been lying about his health. And over time, health problems are more likely to arise in any relationship. However, we are more concerned that Don seems to be rushing things. You should never feel pressured to move faster than what makes you comfortable. If you enjoy Dons company, theres no reason not to continue seeing him, but make it clear that you are in no hurry. If he wants a caregiver, he should look elsewhere. Dear Annie: I read the responses to I Need Nice Clothes, Too, about largesize clothing selections. My complaint is about petite sizes for mature women. There is no selection at all. Its as if we are being discriminated against because we are short. We like to dress fashionably. We wear coats, pajamas, slacks and dresses, but few stores carry petite sizes, and fewer still have clothing suitable for anyone over 12. Im sure its the same problem for tall women. -- Warren, Ohio

High court climate case looks at EPAs power

Governors: Obamacare here to stay

STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press WASHINGTON The explosive politics of health care have divided the nation, but Americas governors, Republicans and Democrats alike, suggest that President Barack Obamas health care overhaul is here to stay. While governors from Connecticut to Louisiana sparred on Sunday over how best to improve the nations economy, governors of both parties shared a far more pragmatic outlook on the controversial program known as Obamacare as millions of their constituents begin to be covered. Were just trying to make the best of a bad situation, Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, of Iowa, who calls the health care law unaffordable and unsustainable, yet something he has to implement by law. Were trying to make it work as best we can for the people of Iowa. As governors gathered in Washington this weekend, Democratic governors such as Marylands Martin OMalley and Connecticuts Dannel Malloy made pitches to raise the minimum wage, while Republican governors such as Louisianas Bobby Jindal and Indianas Mike Pence called for more freedom from federal regulations, particularly those related to the health insurance overhaul. But governors from both parties report that a full repeal of the law would be complicated at best, if not impossible, as states move forward with implementation and begin covering millions of people both by expanding Medicaid rolls for lower-income resident or through state or federal exchanges that offer federal subsidies to those who qualify. Obama hosted most of the governors for a White House dinner Sunday night, calling for collaboration on the economy, education, climate change and health care in what he hopes will be a year of action. Republican opposition to the law is the centerpiece of the GOPs political

WASHINGTON (AP) Industry groups and Republicanled states are heading an attack at the Supreme Court against the Obama administrations sole means of trying to limit powerplant and factory emissions of gases blamed for global warming. As President Barack Obama pledges to act on environmental and other matters when Congress doesnt, or wont, opponents of regulating carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases cast the rule as a power grab of historic proportions. The court is hearing arguments today about a small but important piece of the Environmental Protection Agencys plans to cut the emissions a requirement that companies expanding industrial facilities or building new ones that would increase overall pollution must also evaluate ways to reduce the carbon they release. Environmental groups and even some of their opponents say that whatever the court decides, EPA still will be able to move forward with broader plans to set emission standards for greenhouse gases for new and existing power plants. But a court ruling against EPA almost undoubtedly would be used to challenge every step of the agencys effort to deal with climate change, said Jacob Hollinger, a partner with the McDermott Will and Emery law firm in New York and a former EPA lawyer. Will they be successful? We dont know yet, Hollinger said. But it would be an important victory in a political sense and, potentially, a practical sense. Republicans have objected strenuously to the administrations decision to push ahead with the regulations after Congress failed to pass climate legislation, and after the administration of President George W. Bush resisted such steps. Both sides agree that it would have been better to deal with climate change through legislation than regulation. In 2012, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit concluded that the EPA was unambiguously correct in using existing federal law to address global warming. Todays case, for which the court has expanded argument time to 90 minutes from the usual 60, stems from the high courts 2007 ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA, which said the agency has the authority under the Clean Air Act to limit emissions of greenhouse gases from vehicles. Two years later, with Obama in office, the EPA concluded that the release of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases endangered human health and welfare. The administration used that finding to extend its regulatory reach beyond automobiles and develop national standards for large stationary sources. Of those, electric plants are the largest source of emissions. The administration has proposed first-time national standards for new power plants and expects to propose regulations for existing plants this summer. It will then move on to other large stationary sources such as factories. In the meantime, the only way EPA can compel companies to address global warming pollution is through a permitting program that requires them to analyze the best available technologies to reduce carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas.

Ukraine parliament head takes presidential powers Cellphone,

JIM HEINTZ Associated Press KIEV, Ukraine With an ally claiming presidential powers Sunday and the whereabouts and legitimacy of the nominal president unclear, newly freed opposition icon Yulia Tymoshenko may feel her chance to take Ukraines leadership has come. But even among protesters who detest President Viktor Yanukovych, Tymoshenko sparks misgivings. The former prime minister, who was convicted of abuse of office in a case widely seen as political revenge by her arch-foe Yanukovych, is a polarizing figure in a country staggering from political tensions that exploded into violence. Admired and even adored by many for her flair and fiery rhetoric, Tymoshenko is regarded by others as driven by intense ego and tainted with corruption. Just a day after she left the hospital where she was imprisoned, demonstrators outside the Cabinet of Ministers expressed dismay that she could be Ukraines next president. One of them held a placard depicting Tymoshenko taking power from Yanukovych and reading, People didnt die for this. Ukraine is in a delicate state of uncertainty since Yanukovych and protest leaders signed an agreement to end the conflict that left more than 80 people dead last week in Kiev. Soon after signing it, Yanukovychs whereabouts are unclear after he left the capital for his support base in eastern Ukraine. Allies are deserting him. Russias next moves in the crisis were not immediately clear, but Washington warned Moscow not to intervene militarily. The newly emboldened parliament, now dominated by the opposition, struggled to work out who is in charge of the country and its ailing economy. Fears percolated that some regions might try to break away and seek support from neighboring Russia, particularly the Crimean peninsula where Russias Black Sea naval fleet is based. Ukraine is deeply divided between eastern regions that are largely pro-Russian and western areas that widely detest Yanukovych and long for closer ties with the European Union. Yanukovych set off a wave of protests by shelving an agreement with the EU in November, and the movement quickly expanded its grievances to corruption, human rights abuses and calls for Yanukovychs resignation.

strategy ahead of the midterm elections. And to be sure, not every GOP leader embraced the inevitability of the laws implementation. I dont think that its so deeply entrenched that it cant be repealed, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said. But I do think, as we argue for repeal, we have to show folks what you replace it with. Despite a troubled rollout, nearly 3.3 million people have signed up through Feb. 1 for health care coverage under the law. The White House reported that 1 million people signed up nationwide for private insurance under the law in January alone. It remains unclear that the administration will reach its unofficial goal of 7 million people by the end of March, but it still expects several million enrollees by then. A recent Associated Press analysis of the sign-ups found that six Republican-led states Florida, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin were on pace or better than the states had initially projected.

wiretaps led to legendary drug lord

CULIACAN, Mexico After fruitlessly pursuing one of the worlds top drug lords for years, authorities finally drew close to Joaquin El Chapo Guzman using a cellphone found at a house where drugs were stored. The phone belonging to a Guzman aide was recovered with clues from a U.S. wiretap and provided a key break in the long chase to find Guzman, officials told The Associated Press on Sunday. Another big leap forward came after police analyzed information from a different wiretap that pointed them to a beachfront condo where the legendary leader of the Sinaloa cartel was hiding, according to a U.S. government official and a senior federal law enforcement official. When he was at last taken into custody with his beauty-queen wife, Guzman had a militarystyle assault rifle in the room, but he didnt go for it. A day after the arrest, it was not yet clear what would happen next to Guzman, except that he would be the focus of a lengthy and complicated legal process to decide which country gets to try him first. The cellphone was found Feb. 16 at house Guzman had been using in Culiacan. By early the next day, the Mexican military had captured one of Guzmans top couriers, who promptly provided details of the stash houses Guzman and his associates had been using, the officials said. At each house, the Mexican military found the same thing: steel reinforced doors and an escape hatch below the bathtubs. Each hatch led to a series of interconnected tunnels in the citys drainage system. The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss how Guzman was located, said troops who raided Guzmans main house in Culiacan chased him through the drainage pipes before losing him in the maze under the city. A day later, on Feb. 18, Guzman aide Manuel Lopez Ozorio was arrested and told investigators that he had picked up Guzman, cartel communications chief Carlos Manuel Ramirez and a woman from a drainage pipe and helped them flee to Mazatlan. When he was finally in handcuffs, the man who eluded Mexican authorities for more than a decade looked pudgy, bowed and middle-aged in a white button-down shirt and beltless black jeans. Now 56, he had successfully eluded authorities since escaping from prison in 2001 in a laundry truck. He is likely to face a host of charges in Mexico related to his role as the head of the cartel, which is believed to sell cocaine, marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine in some 54 countries. He also faces extensive allegations in the United States, where grand juries in at least seven federal district courts, including Chicago, San Diego, New York and Texas, have indicted him. Federal officials in Chicago were among the first to say they wanted to try Guzman, followed by prosecutors in Brooklyn, N.Y. In an email Sunday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Tiscione in Brooklyn said it would be up to Washington to make the final call.
