Taliban vow revenge for Afghans killed by American

By SEBASTIAN ABBOT The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan The Taliban vowed revenge today for an inhumane attack in which an American soldier allegedly shot to death 16 civilians in southern Afghanistan and torched their bodies an assault that has fueled anger still simmering after U.S. troops burned Qurans last month. U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan have stepped up security following the shootings Sunday in Kandahar province out of concern about retaliatory attacks. The U.S. Embassy has also warned American citizens in Afghanistan about the possibility of reprisals. The Taliban claimed responsibility for several attacks last month that the group said were in retaliation for the Americans burning Qurans. Afghan forces also turned their guns on their supposed allies at the time, killing six U.S. troops as violent protests wracked the country. There were no signs of protests today and it was unclear what the response would be to Sundays deadly spree. It may not be as dramatic as after the Quran burnings since the desecration of the Muslim holy book is viewed as one of the worst sins in Islam. Afghans have also faced numerous instances of civilian casualties from coalition military operations, though rarely the kind of killings seen Sunday. But the attack will likely spark even greater distrust between Washington and Kabul and fuel questions in both countries about why American troops are still fighting in Afghanistan after 10 years of conflict and the killing of Osama bin Laden. The Taliban said in a statement on their website that sick-minded American savages committed the bloodsoaked and inhumane crime

This is an assassination, an intentional killing of innocent civilians and cannot be forgiven.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Panjwai district, a rural region outside Kandahar that is the cradle of the Taliban and where coalition forces have fought for control for years. The militant group promised the families of the victims that it would take revenge for every single martyr with the help of Allah. There are still many questions about what happened in the villages of Balandi and Alkozai in Panjwai before dawn Sunday and what motivated the killings. Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the attack and said the 16 dead included nine children and three women. Five other villagers were wounded. This is an assassination, an intentional killing of innocent civilians and cannot be forgiven, Karzai said Sunday. U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings confirmed today that the number of dead was in the teens but declined to be more specific, saying U.S. forces had not been given access to independently count the bodies. U.S. and Afghan officials have said the attack began around 3 a.m. in the two villages, which are fairly close to a U.S. base in a region that was the focus of President Barack Obamas military surge in the south starting in 2009.

Canal Commission celebrates Boatmans Breakaway

BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphsherald.com DELPHOS The Delphos Canal Commission hosted more than 110 guests at the annual Boatmans Breakaway Dinner on Sunday at the Canal Commission Museum. The dinner marks the early-19th-century springtime activity of breaking up the ice on the Miami-Erie Canal so boats could travel the waterway once connecting Toledo and Cincinnati. Canal Commission Trustee Ed Ulrich emceed the evening with speakers including the Rev. David Howell on the Impact of Canal Development on Area Churches and Permanent Trustee Lou Hohman on the Impact of Canal Development on Area Commerce. Rev. Howell remarked on how the churches of Delphos helped unite the city. An 1850 peace treaty saw West Bredeick, East Bredeick, Howard and Section 10 coming together with the Petticords, Presbyterians and Catholics and later the United Brethren from Marbletown. Why do people come together? Howell asked. To share relationships and find comfort. Life was hard in the 1850s. There was cholera and malaria. People were lonely. Delphos was united by joy and hope for the future. Hohman talked about the Canal Act of 1825 and how many engineers came from New York, where a canal system was already in place. The construction of the canal brought many to Ohio, See CANAL, page 3A

5 die in strikes on Gaza, militants barrage Israel

By IBRAHIM BARZAK The Associated Press GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Israeli airstrikes killed three Palestinian civilians and two militants in the Gaza Strip today and Palestinian rocket squads barraged southern Israel in escalating fighting that defied international truce efforts. A high school student, a father and daughter were among the dead. The cross-border violence, touched off by Israels killing of a top Palestinian militant leader on Friday, has been the worst exchange of fire between Israel and the Hamas-ruled territory in months. The fighting has so far killed 23 Gazans, including 18 militants, seriously wounded two Israelis, and disrupted the lives of 1 million Israelis living within the range of Gaza rockets. At a news conference in Gaza City today, masked members of Islamic Jihads military wing demanded Israel cease fire first and stop targeting militants. We warn the leaders of the enemy of the consequences of testing our patience. Our patience is limited and shall be turned into fire and destruction upon them, one of the masked men said. Chief military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai said Israel would halt its raids if the rocket fire stopped, but added that the Israeli military would continue to take preemptive action to foil militant attack plans. Israel said it launched Fridays initial airstrike to stop a militant groups plan to infiltrate into Israel through Egypts Sinai peninsula. In the past, similar flare-ups have died out by themselves or with informal cease-fires negotiated by third parties, often Egypt. In this case too, Egypt has been trying to mediate an end to the clashes, and Hamas has also appealed to other Mideast countries to join the truce attempts. But by this afternoon, there was no sign of progress. Today, Israeli aircraft swooped down on Gaza 11 times by midday, striking what the military said were rocketlaunching sites and a weapons storage facility. Two militants, a 16-year-old high school student, and a 65-year-old man and his 30-year-old daughter were killed in four separate raids, Gaza health official Adham Abu Salmia said. One of the militants was killed while riding a motorcycle. The teenager died while walking to school, and the father and daughter were killed when a missile struck right outside their home, witnesses said. The Israeli military said the air attacks were in response to continued rocket fire. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld

Activists: Civilians massacred in central Syria

By BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press BEIRUT Syrian activists said today pro-government gunmen have killed at least 16 people including children in a rebel stronghold recaptured by the government in the embattled central city of Homs. The state media in Damascus, which often ignores claims by activists, confirmed killings in Homs but blamed armed terrorists as it frequently calls those behind the uprising. Fresh from stamping out rebel centers of resistance in Homs, government forces are pressing on with new offensives in other parts of central and northern Syria. The reports of the killings add to concerns that the hundreds of civilian deaths caused by the fighting will be compounded by reprisals against opposition supporters in the recaptured towns and neighborhoods. They will add to the pressure on U.N. Security Council members who are meeting to decide what to do next to stop the violence, as the international communitys current ongoing effort a peacemaking mission by U.N. envoy Kofi Annan falters with both government and opposition refusing to talk to one another. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 16 people were killed Sunday night while the Local Coordination Committees said 45 were murdered. Both groups said children were among the dead. They accused gunmen known as shabiha who have been playing a major role in crushing the year-old uprising. The state media in Damascus, which often

said more than two dozen rockets had struck southern Israel by early this afternoon. One damaged a preschool building on a communal farm shortly before children were scheduled to arrive, but no one was hurt, Rosenfeld said. Schools in the area were closed for a second day to avoid casualties, keeping tens of thousands of children from their studies. A day earlier, a rocket struck the courtyard of one of the empty schools. Also today, militants fired three mortar shells into Kerem Shalom, the sole cargo crossing between Israel and Gaza through which 70 percent of all goods that enter the Palestinian territory pass. Two vehicles were hit on the Palestinian side of the crossing, but no one was injured, Israeli officials said. Operations were briefly halted. Israel says the newly introduced Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted dozens of the more than 190 rockets fired since the clashes erupted over the weekend, and military officials speculated this averted more casualties and damage. The vast majority of the rockets shot at Israeli cities were intercepted, said Brig. Gen. Doron Gavish, commander of the defense unit that includes Iron Dome. This is a new era in military history, there is an effective defense against rockets.

At 4:17 a.m. on Saturday, Delphos Police were called to a residence in the 200 block of West Clime Street in reference to a breaking and entering complaint. Upon officers arrival, they met with the victim who stated someone had forcibly gained entry into a locked shed at the residence and had taken a 4 wheeler from inside. Upon speaking with neighbors, it was found that the 4 wheeler was possibly taken around 9-9:30 p.m. Friday night. Delphos Police are asking anyone with information or may have seen anything to contact the authorities with the information.

Police probing shoplifting claim

At 2:06 p.m. on Saturday, Delphos Police were called to a business in the 1100 block of Elida Avenue in reference to a theft complaint. Upon officers arrival, the owner advised a subject came into the business and had taken items without paying for them. Officers received a copy of the video surveillance and will forward it to the Detective Bureau for further investigation.

ignores claims by activists, confirmed the deaths but blamed armed terrorists the phrase normally used for those whom it claims are behind the uprising. Homs is the Syrian city hardest hit by violence since the uprising against President Bashar Assads regime began in March last year. Several Homs, including Karm elZeytoun where Sundays deaths occurred, were controlled by rebels and retaken by government forces earlier this month. Karm el-Zeytoun has witnessed intense anti-regime protests in the past months. It is one of several neighborhoods in Homs that have large populations both of Alawites a Shiite offshoot that dominates the Damascus regime and of Sunnis who make up much of the opposition against it. The Observatory said that after the killings, many people fled Karm el-Zeytoun as well as the nearby neighborhoods of Bab Dreb and Nazihin, for fear pro-government gunmen might carry out similar attacks.

The Delphos City Schools would like to take this opportunity to thank the voters of the district for their support of the recent renewal levy. We are gratified and thankful for its passage. Frank Sukup, Interim Superintendent

Rock Hall nearly done with renovation

BRIEFS

Chefs to help victims families

CLEVELAND (AP) Chefs in northeast Ohio will use their culinary skills to help families of the victims of a high school shooting that left three students dead and three others injured. More than 30 chefs are joining forces at two Cleveland-area restaurants to raise money for families of the victims of the Feb. 27 shooting at Chardon High School, when authorities allege a 17-year-old boy admitted firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table. Students and staff at the International Culinary Arts and Sciences Institute in

CLEVELAND (AP) The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland has nearly finished its multimillion-dollar renovation project, a month ahead of this years induction ceremony. The carpet, signs and entry leading to the Hall of Fame are now red, a change from the former white exterior that some visitors previously overlooked. The institutions president, Terry Stewart, tells The Plain Dealer that exhibits have been realigned more chronologically. There are also new interactive displays. All that remains to be added are some new signs and a film in the Rolling Stones exhibit. The rock hall aimed to finish the nearly $7 million redesign before the April 14 induction ceremony at Clevelands Public Auditorium. The inductees include Guns N Roses, the Beastie Boys and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

DAYTON (AP) The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs paid out $940,000 in cases related to the deaths of eight patients at the Dayton VA Medical Center, which came under scrutiny last year after allegations that a dentist at a clinic had used improper hygiene for years, according to public records obtained by a newspaper. Records requested by the Dayton Daily News reveal the center in southwestern Ohio has faced 72 medical malpractice claims since 2007, including those related to eight deaths between 2005 and 2008. There are pending claims over two deaths in 2009 and 2010. The hospital noted that the six dozen claims represent a tiny fraction of the 3 million instances of patient care logged during the same years. However small, one is too many, the Dayton VA said in a statement. We take all tort claims seriously. Twenty-two of the 72 claims involved the dental clinic, and most of those appeared to be linked to the infection control scandal that came to light last year, the newspaper said. Sixteen pending claims linked to the clinic seek a total of

nearly $6.7 million. Among the amounts already paid, the largest was $275,000 settling a federal lawsuit after the medical center was accused of not promptly diagnosing and treating an infection for a hip surgery patient that died in 2006. The other payments resulted from a VA process for resolving such malpractice tort claims. The family of 68-year-old Clarice Chuck Pennington, who died of internal hemorrhage after a liver biopsy in 2007, was paid $150,000. His wife, Virginia Jenny Pennington, said she learned nurses didnt regularly check his vital signs in the hours before he died. If they would have checked on him like they should have ... they would have known these things were happening, she said. The death of a patient who was assaulted by a resident in 2008 led to an award of $130,000, and $125,000 was paid out after the death of a patient who received an incorrect dosage of chemotherapy medication. A report by the Government Accountability Office indicates the malpractice cases came amid an increase nationally in the number of federal tort claims filed against the VA in recent years, the newspaper said. That number rose Chesterland also will hold a from 1,251 in 2005 to 1,670 in benefit to help the affected 2010, when the total payouts families, The Plain Dealer from administrative resolunewspaper reported. tions and litigation totaled $79 All proceeds from the million for the fiscal year. institutes March 17 lunch at its Student Cafi will go to the Chardon Fund established to help survivors with their recovery.

The Ohio Department of Transportation saved $43 million this winter after spending $80 million last year for winter-weather expenses from snow and ice, WCMH-TV in Columbus reported. The savings can be used for other projects including road improvements such as resurfacing roadways and repairing guardrails, department spokesman Steve Faulkner said. Ohio has about $2 billion worth of projects that need funding. Several central Ohio communities also say they have saved thousands of dollars on road salt, overtime and other winterweather costs. Rick Tilton, with the city of Columbus, said Columbus paid only $332,000 for 5,681 tons of salt, compared with more than $1.6 million it spent last year for nearly 28,000 tons of salt. Not only does it save us money right now, it saves us money next winter, Tilton said. That salt that we have in the barn now we just leave it there til next winter. Operations Manager Greg Hintz of Lancaster, about 30 miles southeast of Columbus, said his city has saved about $40,000 in salt costs alone

of $117,300. Last winter, it purchased about 2,500 tons of salt for $158,000. The city is still determining where to apply the savings, Hintz said. The Columbus suburb of Hilliard says it saved approximately $125,000 in costs associated with road salt, overtime and other winter expenses. Another benefit for the public is that government workers have more time to spend on other projects, such as repairing potholes. Thats good news to Columbus resident Sean Smith. He said extra money to fix potholes will be a big help to drivers in that city. Smith said that while many people have insurance to cover damage caused to their vehicles by potholes, Im sure a lot of people are paying this out of their pocket.

Canal There were Hohman said.

581,000 people in Ohio before the construction and 1,519,000 during the construction. At one time, there were as many as 4,000 workers. They called the canal the longest burial plot because if you died while working on it, they buries you in the towpath and kept going. Hohman went on to comment on the growth of local businesses to serve the workers and then later, those traveling on the canal. Delphos was prospering from the canal workers and this fell in line with the Bredeick brothers plans to

have the largest city in the U.S., Hohman continued. Then cholera struck and the railroad started and no one would stop in Delphos because of the sickness, so Lima sprang up and eventually became the county seat. The Miami-Erie Canal cost approximately $8 million to install. In 1851, the state collected $8 million on tolls. The museum will celebrate 25 years in 2013, which also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the The Flood of 1913, the greatest natural disaster in Ohio.

Obamas health insurance law: A trek, not a sprint

By RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR Associated Press WASHINGTON It took only a year to set up Medicare. But if President Barack Obamas health care law survives Supreme Court scrutiny, it will be nearly a decade before all its major pieces are in place. And that means even if Obama is re-elected, he wont be in office to oversee completion of his signature domestic policy accomplishment, assuming Republicans dont succeed in repealing it. The laws carefully orchestrated phase-in is evidence of whats at stake in the Supreme Court deliberations that start March 26. The Affordable Care Act gradually reorganizes onesixth of the U.S. economy to cover most of the nations 50 million uninsured, while simultaneously trying to restrain costs and prevent disruptions to the majority already with coverage. Despite the political rhetoric about what Obamacare is doing to the nation, only a fraction of the law is in effect. We really havent seen the main game, said Drew Altman, president of the California-based Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit information clearingBy ANNE FLAHERTY and LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press house on the health care system. The major provisions that will affect the most people and cost the most money dont go into effect until 2014 or later. What has taken effect in the two years since the law was enacted has produced both successes and clunkers, and some surprises. Few expected a relatively minor provision tacked on late in the legislative process to be its biggest success so far. But allowing young adults to stay on their parents insurance until age 26 has added nearly 2.5 million people to the coverage rolls, at no cost to taxpayers. Despite Republican pledges to repeal the overhaul, its arguably the Obama administration that has done more to scale it back. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius decided to pull the plug on a long-term care insurance program seen as a budget drain. She also decided that Washington would not dictate a basic health benefits package for the country, allowing each state to set its own, within limits. Medicare recipients gained more protection from high prescription costs and better preventive coverage, but older people remain the age group most opposed to the law, concerned that cuts to the

Analysis: Obamas Afghanistan problem gets worse

embrace a continued commitment in Afghanistan. Theres something profoundly wrong with the way were approaching the whole region, and I think its going to get substantially worse, not better, said GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich. I think that were risking the lives of young men and women in a mission that may, frankly, not be doable. The latest incident in Afghanistan was particularly disturbing: At 3 a.m. Sunday, an American staff sergeant allegedly wandered 500 yards from his base in the southern Kandahar province and begun shooting villagers as they slept. As many as 16 Afghans were killed, including nine children, before the shooter apparently returned to base and turned himself in. One eyewitness described the body of a young boy, apparently wearing red pajamas, lying lifeless in the back of a minibus. That and other searing images, including an AP photographers confirmation of burned bodies at the scene, easily eclipsed Fridays upbeat announcement that the U.S. and Afghanistan had agreed on the transfer of Afghan detainees to Afghan control. Obama and top U.S. officials quickly condemned the attack and offered their con-

program to finance benefits for the uninsured eventually will compromise their own care. If the Supreme Court overturns the law entirely, that would present an immediate dilemma about popular early benefits such as coverage for young adults and prescription savings for seniors. These provisions give immediate relief to a small percentage of people, but its a lot of relief, said economist Len Nichols of George Mason University in Virginia. Other early benefits have been a mixed bag. Millions of people are getting preventive care that now must be provided at no additional cost to patients. Birth control for women soon will be on that list. Insurance premium increases are getting more scrutiny. But a program of tax credits for small businesses has seen little acceptance. The administration is in the awkward position of asking congressional Republicans to help fix it. A highly promoted program that provides a lifeline to people denied coverage because they already had medical problems has probably saved lives. But enrollment in the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan has been disappointing, with only about 50,000 people nationwide. dolences to families of the victims. Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta called Afghan President Hamid Karzai, both vowing to hold any perpetrators accountable. Their statements stopped short of a full apology but appeared to want to ward off any retaliatory attacks, like those seen recently after U.S. officials acknowledged the burning of Muslim holy books at an air base in Afghanistan. Six U.S. service members were killed in attacks immediately following that revelation, including two American officers who were assassinated while working inside a heavily protected Afghan ministry. This deeply appalling incident in no way represents the values of (U.S. and coalition troops) or the abiding respect we feel for the Afghan people, Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, said Sunday. Nor does it impugn or diminish the spirit of cooperation and partnership we have worked so hard to foster with the Afghan National Security Forces. But the damage is probably inevitable. Pulling no punches, Karzai called the shooting an assassination and an intentional killing of innocent civilians that could not be forgiven.
nor are Republicans simpletons for trying to protect the unborn or challenging what they view as government overreach. Unfortunately, the conservative governing principles that traditionally attracted level heads to the right side of the aisle have been incrementally subsumed by social issues -- a bulls-eye for Democrats and a black eye for Republicans. Inasmuch as women are the ones who urgently require access to family planning, any opposition can be conflated to be antiwoman. Hence, Ann Romneys well-placed remarks. She is right, of course, but the problem she was implicitly trying to address is not shortterm. The GOP long ago made its bed with social conservatives, a large percentage of them Southern evangelicals, and now must sleep with them. After marriage, of course. In Laurens County, S.C., where the local GOP recently tried to create a purity tribunal to screen and monitor aspiring Republican candidates, this is more than a punch line. Although the state party ruled the county initiative inconsistent with state law, the Laurens mindset burbles just beneath the surface of the once-Grand Old Party. And that is a problem only Democrats could love.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama has a PR problem when it comes to Afghanistan, to say the least. Once the must-fight war for America, the decadelong mission has spiraled into a series of U.S. missteps and violent outbreaks that have left few ardent political supporters. After NATO detained a U.S. soldier Sunday for allegedly killing sleeping Afghan villagers, Republicans and Democrats alike pointed to the stress on troops after years of fighting and reiterated calls to leave by the end of 2014 as promised, if not sooner. Its just not a good situation, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Our troops are under such tremendous pressure in Afghanistan. Its a war like no other war weve been involved in. ... Were moving out, as the president said. I think its the right thing to do. Likewise, many Republicans who as a party fought against a quick exodus in Iraq and criticized Obamas 2008 presidential campaign promise to end the war are now reluctant to

Point of View
dotes would have been problematic, but combined theyve had the effect on women voters of a Tyrannosaurus rex approaching a Gallimimus herd. (Picture the stampede scene in Jurassic Park.) War has been declared, and theres hardly any way to change the impression among a growing percentage of women that the GOP is the party of knuckledragging Neanderthals. Its a smart move for Democrats to keep replaying the message, but is it fair -- and is it true? What say we relax the rhetoric and see what sanity lies beneath? Not to tempt the gods of non sequitur, and contrary to what the White House insists, Rush Limbaugh is not the leader of the GOP. Even so, he does have a large audience and it is disconcerting that so many seem to share his obvious hostility toward women. Several of his cohorts in discourtesy are snorting and grunting in my inbox even now. One who wrote in defense of Limbaugh informed me of my place in Gods hierar-

chy, slightly above goats, and gave me a tutorial about why women have been saddled with the monthly inconvenience and painful childbirth -- for tempting men to do evil and failing to recognize their roles as helpmeets for men. Pagan women like yourself, he patiently averred, have no regard for the natural order of Gods plan and shamelessly promulgate the we are goddesses bile that has infected the entire country and pretty much stopped it in its tracks from incurring Gods blessing. Im leaving out the best parts. You dont have to read many such letters to think that maybe Democrats have a point. Yet it is false to imagine that any objection to abortion is necessarily anti-woman. It may feel that way to women seeking an abortion. And it may look that way when those pushing anti-abortion measures are men whose experience in such matters is biologically irrelevant. As feminist Flo Kennedy once said, If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. But Republicans are waging war on women only if you believe that the morality of abortion should never be questioned, or if you believe the federal government can order people to pay for something that violates their conscience. These issues are not so simple,

McAdams, Bulldogs bomb Kentucky, Cuse, NC, Mich State earn top seeds Minutemen out of district finals
By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press Were they minor hiccups or something much bigger? Kentucky, Syracuse and North Carolina will sort that out over the next three weeks. For now, though, they have No. 1 by their names top seeds and beneficiaries of a selection committee that all but ignored their weekend losses and put them in prime position for the NCAA tournament. The win streak? Thats done now, Kentucky coach John Calipari said after his team lost only its second game of the season, a setback to Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament Sunday that ended a 24-game winning streak. The fact that we were invincible? Thats done now. Were going to be in a dog fight. Thats how you have to approach this. Play each game like its your last. Its what the NCAA tournament is all about a 3-week free-for-all that gives little guys such as VCU, a Final Four team last year, and Iona, one of the last teams to squeak into the tournament this year, a chance against Kentucky, Carolina and the rest of the socalled power teams. Michigan State earned the fourth and final No. 1 seed and was the only top-billed team to win its conference tournament. The Spartans defeated Ohio State 68-64 in the Big Ten title game Sunday and earned top seeding for the first time since 2001. Michigan State is seeking its first national title since 2000. We were playing for a No. 1 seed, which we knew was a possibility, Spartans forward Draymond Green said. And we were playing to do something that hasnt been done here since 2000. Thats all the motivation we needed. While No. 2 seeds Kansas, Duke, Missouri and Ohio State wonder whether they could have been rated higher, teams such as Drexel, Seton Hall, Mississippi State and Pac-12 regular-season champion Washington curse what might have been. Those bubble teams were left out and all will be wondering how Iona, California, North Carolina State and South Florida made it in. The Big East led all conferences with nine teams, including defending national champion Connecticut, a dangerous No. 9 seed, conference tournament winner Louisville and, of course, Syracuse, which cruised through most of the season with only one loss. I think its going to help us a little bit, coach Jim Boeheim said of the second defeat, Friday to Cincinnati in the Big East tournament. I think players, when theyre winning, they kind of excuse their mistakes. I think we finally got their attention. I think theyll be a better team going forward than they were last week. There were 11 at-large teams from the so-called midmajor conferences, four more than last year and the most since 2004 when 12 made it. Though the committee claims not to consider a teams conference when it picks the bracket, this was nonetheless a nod to how unpredictable this tournament can be. Last year, 4,000-student Butler finished as national runner-up for the second straight season, while VCU, of the Colonial Athletic Conference, went from one of the last teams in the draw all the way to the Final Four. Who might be this years VCU? Its the question being asked across the country, as those $10- and $20-a-pop brackets start getting filled out in office pools and Internet contests around America. The tournament starts Tuesday with firstround games and gets into full swing Thursday and Friday, with 64 teams in action. There were 112 teams with more than 20 wins, said Jeff Hathaway, chairman of the NCAA selection committee. We talked a lot about parity at the high end of the field and about quality throughout the field. Bottom line, it was about who did you play, whered you play them and how did you do? Some results, though, were less important than others and ,apparently, losing in the conference tournament didnt cost Syracuse, Kentucky or North Carolina. Those losses could have created chaos in the bracket but the committee had the teams more or less cemented into top spots. Seeding really doesnt matter too much, Tar Heels guard P.J. Hairston said after Carolinas loss to Florida State in the ACC title game Sunday but before he knew his team would have a 1 by its name. As long as you get in the dance, its an equal opportunity to get to the Final Four. The Tar Heels open their run in the Midwest regional against the winner of a firstround game between Lamar and Vermont. Led by freshmen Anthony Davis and Michael KiddGilchrist, either of whom could be 1-and-done in Caliparis turnover-heavy program, Kentucky is the No. 1 overall seed. Kentucky was placed in the South region and potentially could play six games without having to leave the Southeast. Kentucky will open its 52nd NCAA tournament appearance in Louisville against the winner of a first-round game between Mississippi Valley State and Western Kentucky but it gets tougher from there. A possible second-round opponent is UConn, with No. 4 Indiana and No. 2 Duke possibly waiting beyond that. Indiana handed Kentucky its first loss this year and anyone who knows college hoops knows about Duke-Kentucky: this is the 20th anniversary of Duke forward Christian Laettners lastsecond catch-and-shoot gamewinner against the Wildcats. In the West, Michigan State will begin its quest for its seventh Final Four since 1999 against No. 16 LIU. The bottom of the West draw features No. 2 Missouri, which won the Big 12 tournament but got penalized for a weak nonconference schedule. That hasnt changed at all over the years, Hathaway answered when asked whether the committee rewards programs that beef up their schedules. In the East region, Syracuse opens against UNC Asheville with a possible third-round matchup against Jared Sullinger and Ohio State. Other games include No. 3 Florida State, which went 4-1 against Duke and North Carolina this year, against No. 14 St. Bonaventure, which was a surprise winner of the A-10 conference tournament and took a bubble spot away. Maybe Drexels? There must be a lot of people on the basketball committee that dont know too much about basketball, said Dragons coach Bruiser Flint, whose team went 27-6. Others left out included Miami, Northwestern, Nevada and Oral Roberts. All had flaws, as did Iona, though the Gaels strength of schedule appeared to carry them through.

Racers destroy Barons LIMA There wasnt much else one could say about Sundays University of Northwestern Ohio road baseball game versus OSU-Lima/ Rhodes State at Barron Field: the 40-2 Racer destruction. For example, Pichi Torres went 5-for-7 and knocked in 10 runs, including a pair of round-trippers, scoring four himself. Chris Bell went 4-for-7 and scored five runs and Jordan Crowell was 4-for-4 with five runs batted in and four scored; both hit home runs. Dylan Brammer and Alex McKinistry each scored six times. The Racers (10-5) had 33 hits against five Baron pitchers. Ohio State UniversityLima/Rhodes State College (0-8) was led by Derrick Peases 2-for-3 performance at the plate. It wasnt much better for the Barons in their Saturday doubleheader at Racer Field: 11-0 and 14-0 losses. The

Roundup

DELPHOS The first year of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Dodgeball Tournament held at Jefferson High School was such a success, teacher Josiah Stober and crew wanted to have it again. This time, they offered it to neighboring high schools and it again was a success. The Yogi Bears won the 10-team high school division Sunday night at Jefferson High School, while the Capwear Destroyers took the 5-team junior high tournament. We had a good first year and tonight was even better. We decided to open it up to area high school teams and we had a team from Lima Temple Christian, Elida and also Columbus Grove, Stober explained. We had 10 teams in high school, an increase over last year, and five in junior high. We hope to have more next year. The tournament is a way for the FCA to get its name out and have more students become involved in their work. Its a fun time. Its a way for us to draw kids in and feel more comfortable about our message and our mission, Stober added. We have other events planned like a Movie Night later in the spring and we feel if students can have fun while doing something positive, they will be more comfortable and be more willing to be involved with what the Fellowship of Christian Athletes does.

The second annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes Dodgeball Tournament held at Jefferson High School had 10 high school teams, with the winners being the Yogi Bears: kneeling from left, Darren Edinger and Justin Rode; and back, Kyle Anspach, Shayn Klinger, Tony George and Evan Neubert.

Lorax trumps John Carter with $39.1M weekend

grossing movie released this year. John Carter, based on Tarzan creator Burroughs tales of the interplanetary adventurer, opened in second-place with $30.6 million. Thats an awful start given the whopping $250 million that Disney reportedly spent to make John Carter, which also earned generally poor reviews that will hurt its long-term prospects. The movies salvation could come overseas, where John Carter opened in 55 markets with $70.6 million, giving it a worldwide total of $101.2 million. The stronger international business helps, but that worldwide total still pales compared to global debuts of $200 million and up for many modern blockbusters. We would have hoped for more considering the larger economics of the film but are still encouraged with how its been received by audiences that have seen it and hope to see that generate positive word of mouth for the balance of the run, said Dave Hollis, Disneys head of distribution.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 2012 Recognition and advancement that have been denied you in the past in your work or career might finally come in the year ahead. Do all that you can to keep up the good work and youll get your just dues. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Something in which youve been involved has greater potential than you realize. Fortunately, youll become aware of its total value and do something about it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Make your judgment calls based on what you like as well as on tactics that have worked for you before. If it was a winner in the past, chances are it will be again. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Your leadership qualities are likely to be accentuated. Others will do as you ask, not because of any commands you make but because youll inspire them to do so. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Itll be the things you unselfishly do for others that will yield you some surprising benefits. Whatever you do from the goodness of your heart will be justly rewarded. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you get the chance, spend the day with a friend in whom you can confide. It can be very helpful to thrash things out with someone who has your best interests at heart. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Your manner allows others to feel comfortable in your presence, making you easy to work with. Those who join up with you could end up achieving something they couldnt do on their own. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A better-than-average cycle for developing new friends and/or social contacts is opening up for you at this point in time. Make the most of it by getting out and mingling with new people. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You could be extremely adept in helping others sort out their problems. If asked, dont hesitate to offer what you think might be a good solution to someone in need. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Dont hesitate to take a firm stance on an issue about which you are extremely familiar. Eventually those who think differently will see the light. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Someone who needs the skill and knowledge you possess will be approaching you for help. Be reasonable about the fees you charge for your services. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Instead of looking at life too seriously, think of it as a game to be played that youd like to win. If you follow the rules, it can be both fun and productive at the same time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youre likely to have a great deal of strength and inner resolve upon which to draw. If you make the most of it, it will not only serve you well but also act as an inspiration to others. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2012 A discarded interest from the past might be resurrected and revitalized in the year ahead, and it could turn out to be surprisingly profitable. This will be due not only to the correct timing, but to some new allies who know what theyre doing. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -A friend who is in need of a strong shoulder to cry on is likely to come to you with some frustrating burdens. Fortunately, among all his or her peers, you are the best one to lean on. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Most of the effort you expend on behalf of others will go unrewarded or unappreciated, even though you probably wont mind. A few people, however, will offer thanks. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Direct your creativity toward gratifying a personal objective that youve been fearful to try. Chances are that what you do will be clever and fun and will give you much satisfaction. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Something that has caused you nothing but frustration recently can be taken care of if you make it your prime target. If its a priority, you can wrap it up once and for all. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Be sure to acknowledge those who assist you. Although youll be willing to work hard, the success of a project is likely to be due in part to a few others who pitch in and help. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Although your goals might be a bit difficult to achieve, the rewards they offer could be so enticing that theyll impel you to at least try. Give things your maximum effort. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Instead of finally being able to coast as you thought, it might become necessary for you to step up the pace in order to protect an investment that you share with others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you keep searching, you will to find an answer to a situation that appears to have no valid solution. Chances are, its fear that has caused you to overlook the answer up until now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is plenty of justification for your positive outlook. If your hopes and expectations appear to be a bit high to others, dont let their negative thinking cause you to believe otherwise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Your chart shows many possibilities for large gains at this time. Thus, if you have to work hard for what you hope to get, remember: it will be well worth it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you truly believe in your ideas, you shouldnt have any problem convincing others of their worth -discuss their potential with possible supporters. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Before involving yourself in a huge endeavor with others, thoroughly investigate it. Detailed scrutiny will reveal its attributes as well as its shortcomings.

DELPHOS TRADING POST

Unlikely partners unite after natural disasters

By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS One is a low-lying river city built on a swamp basin, a multicultural melting pot known the world over for legendary excesses, from lung-searing food to French Quarter flashers. The other lies square in the buckle of the Bible Belt, an old Tornado Alley railroad hub best known as a Route 66 stopover for everyone from RV campers to the outlaws Bonnie and Clyde. With vastly different cultures and landscapes, it might seem on the surface that New Orleans and Joplin, Mo., have little in common. But as cities devastated by recent natural disasters Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and a historic Midwestern tornado 10 months ago the two are forging an unlikely partnership that could change the way other American cities prepare for and recover from the next unexpected blow by nature. We both had natural disasters we didnt ask for, said Jerrod Hogan, a Joplin landscape surveyor. And we both have folks in our communities who need help to get back to where things were. Hogan is among the founders of Rebuild Joplin, a nonprofit group formed after the May 22, 2011, twister that killed 161 people and destroyed 4,000 homes, many in the southwest Missouri citys low-income neighborhoods. The Joplin group recently returned from a 28-hour, 1,400-mile roundtrip bus ride to New Orleans, which endured a death toll nine times as large. The visitors swung hammers and power saws, working side-by-side with a homeowner still trying to return to his Mid-City neighborhood more than six years after Katrina. Besides dealing with insurance payments that dont fully cover repair costs, the man has been battling injuries from military service and a teenage sons bone-marrow transplant. They surveyed a 515-unit affordable housing complex near City Park, once the gang-ridden St. Bernard public housing development before it was flooded by 10 feet of water. Now it features tree-lined sidewalks, a fitness center and swimming pool. They toured business incubators and startup office clusters where tattooed workers in shorts and sleeveless T-shirts work as graphic artists, social media entrepreneurs or freelance lawyers. But no matter who they asked across New Orleans, the Joplin contingent kept hearing the same underlying message: Dont just rebuild, but reinvent. The day after Katrina, everybody became an entrepreneur, said Tim Williamson, chief executive officer of The Idea Village, a New Orleans nonprofit created several years before the August 2005 hurricane to promote innovation in local business. The advice offered to leaders of the Joplin recovery effort wasnt just a shortterm pat on the back. Late last year, Rebuild Joplin was brought into the organizational fold of the St. Bernard Project, a nonprofit based in the neighboring parish that has rebuilt more than 400 homes throughout New Orleans, relying largely on an enthusiastic army of AmeriCorps volunteers who not only work as laborers but also hold key management positions within the organization. Theres six years worth of lessons here, Hogan said. But while New Orleans has plenty of distractions to occupy young do-gooders once the work day is done, Joplin isnt exactly known for its nightlife. Hogan and his colleagues acknowledge that challenge but dont think it will be a dealbreaker. The city of Joplin reports an influx of nearly 120,000 volunteers through early February, including AmeriCorps, church and

civic groups. Joplin also lacks the history of political corruption, cronyism and internecine squabbling that has long characterized New Orleans. A cohesive, well-run community is going to recover a lot quicker than one with significant social, political and economic problems, said David McEntire, a professor of emergency administration and planning at the University of North Texas who studies global responses to natural disasters. New Orleans has a history of ineffective government. Its going to be harder for them to get things on track, compared to Joplin. Zach Rosenburg, a former Washington, D.C., lawyer who started the St. Bernard Project with his girlfriend in 2006, said the task of rebuilding shouldnt be nearly as daunting for Joplin. While flood waters raged for miles in New Orleans, the damage in Joplin was in a more defined yet still sizable area, and he is confident the city is up to the task. I have never seen a more engaged and caring civic community, Rosenberg said. Joplin bank executives, church workers and health care leaders are all pitching in. The Louisiana model Rebuild Joplin hopes to replicate includes a neighborhood mental health clinic. One of the things we noticed was how intricately woven the fabric of our lives was, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu told the Joplin visitors. Its not just about houses. Its about your school. Its about your doctor. Its about the street that you lived on, the car you drove. All of a sudden, you realize you took a lot for granted. That vulnerability and sense of displacement is still raw for much of Joplin. Hours before the Rebuild Joplin charter bus departed, another round of tornadoes swept through the region, from Pittsburg, Kan., just across the state line to the resort town of Branson.

LANDECK The Landeck Tavern has stood on the same ground for 73 years. Famous for its fried chicken for many years, the tavern enjoys a wide range of customers for madefrom-scratch entrees and new owner Keith Yonker has brought back the taverns famous staple.

I have brought back the original recipe and people can come in and order the chicken and it tastes just like it did 30 years ago. Hand-breaded every day using fresh poultry, the chicken basket also includes french fries or sweet potato fries, roll and coleslaw. Yonker has introduced his Famous Stuffed Burgers. Burgers are hand-pattied using fresh ground beef and served on a toasted bun with lettuce, pickle, onion and Keiths special sauce.

HCG WEIGHTLOSS, the new generation in weight-loss

A natural way to lose weight is available to those seeking to lose weight in the new year. The Metabolic Weight Loss Clinic has been open since October 2008, and is located at 7531 Patriot Drive in front of Mernards in Findlay. The clinic offers the use of HCG treatment for individuals struggling with obesity. HCG therapy is the number one weight-loss program nationally, with 87% of the clients maintaining their weight after completing the program. Recently, the program was featured on the Dr. Oz Show as a cure for obesity. HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a naturally occurring lipoprotein in men and women. In pregnant women, its responsible for the release of nutrients that the growing fetus needs from the mothers stored fat. As a weight-reduction program, low-dose HCG injections are used to stimulate the release of 2,000-4,000 fat calories into the individuals bloodstream. The results are a decrease of hunger, which allows for a very lowcalorie diet. A loss of one-half to one pound a day in women and up to three pounds a day in men is typical in the program. No exercise is necessary. Mary Clemons, CRNA, said individuals are told not to exercise until they reach a normal weight, in order to decrease joint stress and prevent injuries. Clients are asked to walk daily, if possible. Once an individual reaches their desired weight, they are taught to incorporate some form of exercise into their daily routine, Clemons said. With HCG, Clemons said, there is no muscle wasting, and the program allows for targeted fat loss from the abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs. The body is reshaped and contoured as abnormal fat stores are lost. In other programs, high-impact cardiovascular exercise is required to access fat stores in those areas. Clemons said no other weight-loss program is able to give such targeted weight-loss results. Clemons said the clinic has seen a complete spectrum of patients, both women and men. Even clients in their 80s have successfully completed the program. We have group classroom sessions, and I overhear during the clinic days clients telling each other of someone they know on the program who has lost a ton of weight, she said. One woman said that her grandmother was 80 and did the program, and if her grandma could do it successfully, so could she! Clemons explained there are specific programs geared towards individuals with preexisting medical conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension. The majority of the time, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease go hand-in-hand. With substantial weight loss, and following a lowglycemic-index, diabetic diet, clients are often helped, together with their family physician, to decrease the amount of medication they are required to take. In certain circumstances, all medications can be eliminated. In many cases, clients see blood sugars, blood pressures and cholesterol levels normalize with adherence to the program. Many cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are referring their patients to HCG clinics for the overall cardiovascular benefits. Clients suffering from arthritis, gout, rheumatism and psoriasis have also shown improvements with HCG therapy. Diabetes is an epidemic condition at present. The clinics diabetic program works with each client to make following a diabetic diet easy and simple, allowing each patient to gain control of their runaway blood sugars. Diabetics are taken out of the passengers seat and put in the drivers seat; they are placed in control of their health with the help of HCG. With less medication and controlled blood sugars, clients have a greater chance of avoiding the progression of vascular disease and kidney problems. We are stressing the clinic being a wellness center, Clemons said. We have had a tremendous response to this program, and are striving to improve and make diabetic education simple to understand. The Metabolic Weight Loss Clinic now is an exclusive provider of Releana, patent pending, which is the only prescription oral form of HCG available in the U.S. Oral HCG is an excellent choice for those squeamish about injections or for anyone who is on a blood thinner such as Coumadin, Lovenox or Heparin. For these individuals, Releana produces comparable results to the injection. Ultimately, however, the injectable HCG produces the greatest weight loss. Since the Metabolic Weight Loss Clinic was opened, more

than 1,000 patients have been treated. They have opened a second clinic in Ann Arbor, Mich, due to the huge out-of-state requests they have received for their services. The success rate is phenomenal, and the program speaks for itself, Clemons said. HCG research study data presently is being compiled for publication for professionals on success and various presenting factors. Clemons attributed the effect of HCG on a person as being like a bear in hibernation, living off your own fat. With HCG, youre not hungry. Its like you just ate a 2,000 to 4,000 calorie meal, so you are able to lower your caloric intake easily because of the HCG, she said. When an individual starts the program, which runs for either four, six or nine weeks, baseline lab work is done, as well as a health history. Dr. John Ross, Board Certified, then sees the patient and prescribes the proper HCG program for them, she said. With the injectable HCG, they are taught by a nurse how to do selfinjections with a very small insulin syringe needle that doesnt hurt. They then attend an extensive diet education class on what foods to eat and are given a specific list with amounts. The diet consists of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and lean cuts of meat. They are taught how to prepare their food in a new, healthy, tasty way. We teach them how to cook a new way, said Clemons Recipes are shared and discussed. Also included is extensive instruction in label reading, and taking sugar and artificial sweeteners out of your diet and replacing them with Stevia, a natural sweetener. The clinic now houses its own health store with everything an HCG dieter may need for every stage of the program. Stevia in every form and flavor can be found there. A large selection of green teas and supplements can be found at the store, and are very reasonably priced. There is a team of counselors here, all degreed, to assist patients at any time with any problems or concerns they may have, Clemons said. Diabetics are followed very closely during this program because their blood sugars are normalizing so quickly, she said. All clients keep a journal with all of their blood pressures, blood sugars, medications they have taken, how they feel and what they ate. They must take an active role in the process. The clinic has a very active Web site with a chat room and blog pageyes, a lot of chatter goes on. We have merely responded to what people want and need, said Clemons. Clients like to talk to others on the same program, experiencing the same things. We instruct clients on vitamins and supplements that may help any medical conditions they may present with, she said. The clinic is using CardioCocktail, a special blend of nutrients which includes arginine, vitamin D, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. The correct combination produces naturally occurring nitric oxide in the body, which naturally lowers blood pressure, supports cardiovascular health and healthy vision, promotes healthy sexual performance and delivers more energy. Clemons said the book, No More Heart Disease, written by the 1998 winner of the Nobel prize in Medicine, Louis Ignarro, outlined the discovery of the importance of nitric oxide to the cardiovascular system. It helps prevent heart attacks, strokes and the progression of cardiovascular disease. The maximum length of time the HCG program can be done is nine weeks. After that, patients must wait three weeks before doing another round. They need to stabilize their weight and increase their protein before doing the next round. Maintaining their weight and a healthy lifestyle is easier for patients on the HCG program, Clemons said. When they are done, they are preparing their own food, so they know exactly how to maintain their own weight, she said. At the end of the program, there is a class on reintroducing foods into their diet. They do keep a food journal, and have to weigh themselves daily. The cost of the HCG program varies, and the clinic recently introduced interest-free financing through Care Credit. Anyone interested can call for a free consultation at (419) 423-6879, or toll-free at (866) 351-8794, or visit the clinics web site at http://www.ohiohcgclinic.com for additional information and a blog. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Herbicides are used to control emergent, submerged and/or floating plants. Some herbicides are selective and will only target certain vegetation. Many liquid herbicides need a non-ionic surfactant added to work on floating or emergent plants.

Colorants come in liquid or throwable pack form. Only Aquashade is EPA registered to control aquatic plant growth, all other dyes are for aesthetic purposes.
