Council OKs 14 Budget
BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Delphos City Council passed the 2014 Permanent Appropriations Ordinance in a short special meeting Monday. With a 6-0 vote, the 2014 budget includes $14,706,000 in appropriations, including nearly $3 million to the General Fund, which includes police, fire, EMS and parks. Councilman Del Kemper was one of the holdouts on the March 17 vote. He voted no because he was uncomfortable with the police budget and adding two officers when other departments were still on furlough. Council President Kim Riddell said council decided to leave two officers in the budget but only hire one as long as other city employees are on a threehour furlough each week. Im satisfied enough to vote for it, Kemper said As with any budget, changes can be made. I just want the workers back on a full-time status and thats what Ill be working on. Councilman Mark Clement was unable to attend the meeting. The next regularly scheduled council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. April 7. Delphos, Ohio

Village will probe depth of Auglaize Street water lines

By STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE Ottoville officials may have a chance to find answers to the Auglaize Street water line freezeups without tearing out newly laid asphalt. Board of Public Affairs officers Dan Honigford and Phil Hilvers told Ottoville Village Council Monday evening there was technology available from the phone company that would allow the village to dig up a tap and run a metal probe through the waterlines on Auglaize Street to find the depths of the lines. At Februarys meeting, council met with Miller Contracting representative and Josh Clay and Brian Goubeaux of Choice One Engineering and discussed the frozen water lines on Auglaize Street. Prior to that regular council meeting, there was a special meeting where Miller reported that the majority of the houses on the east side of the street were being affected, noting there were eight or nine houses that had frozen water lines and the village started getting reports of frozen pipes the second week of January. Clay and Goubeaux explained that after the water system was installed, the excavation was back-filled with the compaction gravel and water was used to aid the process. The moisture in the stone back-fill has traveled down and deepened the frost line, Clay said then. Councilman Tony Langhals said council needed to have a conversation with Miller Contracting before going any further with excavation.

Elida talks water rates

BY CYNTHIA YAHNA Herald Correspondent news@delphosherald.com ELIDA Mayor Kim Hardy addressed the water rates for the Elida at Tuesdays village council meeting. It has been four weeks since we discussed how to determine the strategy of water rates. Basically, we re-vamped the rate system and by the information we currently have, we have restructured the billing, Hardy said. The increase would be $3-$4 and we have changed the minimum water usage from 1,500 up to 1,700 gallons per month. This would assist in those who have a minimum to decrease their rates and be a benefit to them. In actuality, that would affect about 40 people on the minimum. The rate changes would go into effect beginning July 1 and a secondary request for Jan. 1, 2015. Elida village council members approved the purchase of a new 2014 GMC Sierra pickup truck for the water department and two Glock 17 Gen 4 guns for the police department. In the past, the police officers used their own guns and by the village purchasing the Glocks, we have more control over the issued duty weapons, Police Chief Dale Metzger explained. Are the guns kept here at the police department? council member Mike Sebenoler asked. Metzger said the officers are responsible for the guns and take them home when off duty. They are still the property of the village. Also, we are in need of new ammunition and I have a quote for a case at $800, which will last our department quite a while, Metzger added. Metzger also added to his force since the last council meeting. We have hired a part-time police officer, Metzger said. Ben Kehres was a former police chief for Elida and police chief for Ft. Shawnee. He is currently working on a task force for the Allen County Sheriffs Department. We are pleased to have him on board with us. See RATES, page 10

All council members agreed to include Miller Contracting in the process of excavating the tap at the property where pipes froze first and then utilizing the probe. Councilman Jerry Markward said Miller Contracting should dig up the tap and added he would call the phone company about the probe. Mayor Ron Miller said that he had spoken with Clay, who has offered the village a 1-year extension on the warranty from October 2013 through October 2015. Some residents had many concerns surrounding the depth of the lines and Miller was ready to trench the street, which is something they may still have to do, if indeed the lines are found to be deeper than 36 inches. Residents asked who would oversee the project. Choice One will be there and our Street Maintenance Supervisor Barry Koester will be there, Miller said. Ill be there. Miller said the village will send a letter to residents informing them as to what they found and how they will proceed if any further work needs to be performed. Another important topic of discussion the possible construction of a Dollar General Store across from the elementary and high school was addressed. John Schimmoeller of Schimmoeller Construction in Kalida, who owns the property Dollar Generals corporate office has been looking at, said the speed limit study is being done and the results will be submitted to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).

The Herald 3

nominate Elwer Schools celebrate Healthy Kids Trustees as zoning inspector Every Kid Healthy Week
Information submitted Information submitted Several area schools are observing Action for Healthy Kids Every Kid Healthy Week during the coming weeks. While the nationally dedicated week is April 21-24, many Action for Healthy Kids Zone 2 area schools in Allen, Auglaize, Hancock, Hardin, Logan, Mercer, Putnam and Van Wert counties, are electing to celebrate early to avoid conflicts with state testing and to help their students have a healthy start in preparation for testing weeks. The Ohio Action for Healthy Kids Zone 2 Committee, which includes representatives from public health and school facilities in member counties, as well as dietetic interns from Bluffton University, challenged area elementary schools to come up with ways to promote healthy eating and active living habits among their students with a contest. Participating schools were asked come up with a message to promote either a nutrition or physical activity theme, create an art piece or display to promote the message and carry out a student event or activity related to their message. Area schools that are participating include: Van Wert Early Childhood Center (March 24-28), plans to create a mural and host activities related to their messages of Dancing for Fun and Fitness and Bowling: a Fun Fitness Activity for All Ages. Columbus Grove (April 7-11) has a planned a taste-testing activity and parade, along with a mural to support their message of Whole Grains, the Super Hero in Todays Lunch. Lincolnview (April 7-11) will hold a fruit and vegetable challenge among its classrooms and create a mural to promote the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables. These area schools are among more than 500 schools around the U.S. holding special events to recognize Every Kid Healthy Week which highlights sound nutrition, regular physical activity and health-promoting school programs as solutions to the nations childhood obesity epidemic. Every Kid Healthy Week is Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) annual, signature observance designed to celebrate its schools wellness achievements. Every Kid Healthy Week was recently added to the National Calendar of Health Observances after being sponsored for Congressional recognition by U.S. Rep. Danny Davis. With more than one third of our kids classified as overweight or obese, childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions, said Rob Bisceglie, AFHK CEO.

MARION TOWNSHIP The Marion Township Trustees held their regular schedule meeting on Monday with the following members present: Jerry Gilden, Joseph Youngpeter and Howard Violet. The purpose of the meeting was to pay bills and conduct ongoing business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved as read. The trustees then reviewed the bills and gave approval for 14 checks totaling $22,269.84. The trustees had no changes to be made to the Liability Insurance Policy so Fiscal Officer Kimmet will submit it along with the necessary information required. Kimmet presented a letter from the Division of Liquor Control regarding upcoming renewals; the police chief and trustees had no objection to the present permits being renewed. He presented a letter from the county for the Community Development Block Grant, which the township has no need for. He also gave the trustees a copy of an email updating them on demolition at 8601 W. State Road. Police Chief Vermillion had quotes to replace hardware and software for his department and the trustees told him to proceed as needed. Trustee Youngpeter made a motion nominating Norm Elwer as Zoning Inspector for Marion Township effective Tuesday, which was seconded by Trustee Gilden and passed unanimously. There being no further business, Trustee Gilden made a motion to adjourn, which was seconded by Trustee Violet and passed unanimously.

Officials report progress in oil leak cleanup

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio officials have approved spending another $2 million on road salt to replenish supplies used during the long, snowy winter. The state Controlling Board on Monday granted the request from the Ohio Department of Transportation was for more than $2 million to buy about 30,000 tons of salt from Cargill De-Icing Technology Inc. and Morton Salt Inc. Documents show the state is paying about $73.88 per ton for 20,000 tons from Cargill, and $56.75 a ton for another 10,000 tons from Morton. The transportation department has had to go before the board repeatedly this winter to request money for more salt. Spokesman Steve Faulkner says the agency has used more than 1 million tons of salt this winter at a cost of nearly $117 million.

Happy Birthday

Editors note: The term Amish Country often stirs images of crowded roads in beautiful Holmes County, Ohio or tourist-packed Lancaster, PA. But Amish country is much more than that. Its a produce auction in Wayne County, Indiana; a bed & breakfast in Kansas, or an Amish run country store in Mississippi. Over the past 25 years Ive explored Amish settlements from Maine to Montana and numerous points in between. Ive bought juicy cantaloupe for a quarter from Amish-owned road-side stands. Ive explored tiny Amish basket shops tucked away down long gravel lanes. I once stumbled into a full service book store owned and operated by two Mennonite sisters in the remote Shenandoah Valley. And Ive eaten the best peanut butter pie on the planet at Yoders Restaurant in the Amish enclave of Pinecraft, Fla. I recently decided that I would put all of my tips, suggestions, and discoveries into one handy travel guide so that I could share the knowledge Ive painstakingly acquired over all these years. So whether visiting your favorite Amish settlement for an afternoon or a weekend, or seeking a longer immersion experience, let The Williams Guide to Amish Country be your companion. The book is heavily tilted towards showcasing authentic Amish-run businesses and experiences. The book is divided by region, so whether youre seeking to explore an Amish settlement in Minnesota or Mississippi, you can easily find it in the book along with the attractions and activities each offers. Seeking suggestions about where to enjoy a scratch-made supper in an Amish home in northern Indiana? Flip to that section. Learn about my favorite Amishowned furniture and toy-store hidden away on an Amish farm in Hardin County, Ohio, or read about the Amish-owned Sharp Run Farm Market in Holmes County, Ohio with their organic corn maze each autumn. There are generous sections in the book about the nearby Amish settlements in Adams and Highland Counties, so plenty of places close to home are chronicled in the book. To order the 2014 Williams Guide to Amish Country, visit Amazon.com and type in The Williams Guide to Amish Country or send $17.99 to Oasis Newsfeatures, PO BOX 157, Middletown OH 45042. The books are usually $19.99, but are being offered to readers at a discount through Monday. Orders can also be placed over the phone by calling 513-849-9158. Allow two weeks for delivery.

Lovina helping on quilts for benefit auction

BY LOVINA EICHER It is the first day of spring. The temperature is staying around the freezing mark this morning. I am hoping we will see some sun to make it seems more like spring. Yesterday it rained but I didnt mind as much. Some of our church women gathered to have a quilting. The two quilts are being made for the benefit auction for the Community Health Center. The patterns of the quilts were Lonestar Fan and Beavers Weavers. I helped on the Beavers Weavers and it was a little confusing until you figured out where to quilt on it. We all packed our lunches so everyone could stay quilting and not have to take time to make lunch. I enjoy quilting so the day went fast. Daughter Verena did some more cleaning out of drawers and mopped the floors while I was gone all day. It seems the floors get tracked up faster with the ground thawing and snow melting. Saturday, daughter Susan helped her friend Mose cook maple syrup. Mose took over cooking the maple syrup this year that his Dad usually cooks. They have a lot of maple trees. It was a neat experience for Susan. Moses family gave us maple syrup last year and the children like it better than pancake syrup. Susan didnt realize all the work that goes into making maple syrup and neither did I. We never cooked our own so its interesting to hear about how its done. Last Thursday evening, son Benjamins eighth-grade class prepared supper for their parents, grandparents and siblings. Their teacher does a wonderful job in guiding these young students how to cook and prepare a meal for around 100 people or more. Our family of 10 attended and the food was delicious. The menu was: mashed potatoes, gravy, meatloaf, meat balls, green beans, dinner rolls and butter, tossed salad, brownies, ice cream, milk and coffee. The eighth-graders did a great job in serving us. We then had a lot of laughs and were entertained by comedian Craig Tournquist. He was a great encouragement to the eighth-graders as how to have a successful life ahead. We then all split into groups to listen to the exit interviews and presentations of the eighth-graders port-

COMMUNITY

folios. It was interesting to hear of what each one had for their goal in life. For the four Amish boys in this class it is their final year of school, while their classmates will all go on to high school. May God guide each of them in the path they choose. On the way home from school, we had planned to stop at Elizabeths friend Timothys house to see the little foal his horse had delivered a few days earlier. It was such a cold, windy evening Joe and I decided to come on home. Elizabeth, Benjamin and Joseph stopped to see the foal. It is always exciting to see a frisky newborn foal. This is a cold March for newborn foals to be born in. Our horse Ginger was born in March 10 years ago. Our horse Itty Bit delivered her six days after our move from Indiana to Michigan. We still have both horses. Blessings to all. For those of you that are fortunate enough to have maple syrup, try this pie! MAPLE CUSTARD PIE 2 1/4 cups brown sugar 9 tablespoons flour 9 egg yolks 6 tablespoons maple syrup 3/4 teaspoon salt 6 cups scalded milk Frosting: 9 egg whites, beaten 3 /4 teaspoon salt 18 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Mix flour and brown sugar and press into 3 unbaked pie crusts. Beat egg yolks and add maple syrup, salt and milk, and carefully and pour this mixture over the sugar mixture. Do not mix. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower to 325 and bake for 23-30 minutes. Top with frosting and brown.

Boys All-Stars split District 8 games

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com ELIDA The boys showed their stuff for the last time before the local crowd Tuesday night as the District 8 Boys All-Star Roundball Games took center stage on the Union Bank Court of the Elida Fieldhouse Tuesday night. The Division IV game featured something that to anyones recollection had never happened in the 40th annual game: overtime. The West All-Stars outscored the East 14-8 in the extra there minutes to post a 135-129 victory. In the earlier Division I-II-III battle, the East overwhelmed their counterparts 150-97. It was bombs-away, highflying, no-defense-playing and up-tempo to say the least and that was in warmups. In the small-school clash, the teams combined for 253 shots, including 147 3-pointers. That also made for plenty of rebounds as the East outboarded the West 80-64 (2314 offensive). Players that likely had not attempted a 3 all year long or not many got their chance to show the appreciative crowd their skills one last time before heading off to college, either to play some sports or simply be a student. The West (who hit 54-of129 for the game, 27-of-71 overall, for 41.9 percent) put seven players in doubles digits: Division IV State champion Crestview players Damian Helm (4 treys; 10 boards, 3 steals) and Cam Etzler (2 triples; 7 rebounds) with 22 each; Fort Recoverys Elijah Kahlig (6 triples; 7 boards) with 20, 18 by fellow Knight Tyson Bolenbaugh (4 bombs; 11 rebounds), 15 by Ottoville senior Luke Schimmoeller (3 treys; 15 caroms, 3 steals), 14 from Spencerville senior Findlays Adam Twining (2 treys) and Liberty-Bentons Adam Cytlak (4 bombs; 7 assists, 8 caroms) added 18 each. The West (who canned 31-of-97 shots, 11-of-41 downtown, for 31.9 percent) with only eight players due to injury were topped by 28 from Ottawa-Glandorfs Alex Schroeder (6 triples; 4 assists), 20 by Coldwaters Brandon Wolters (6 boards), 17 from Parkways Brant Barna (8 caroms), 13 from Shawnee senior Trey Brock (7 rebounds) and 12 from Celinas Mason Ross. Defiances Emilio Pearson grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds. Van Werts Matt Bidlack scored a triple and added six rebounds for the West as they were outboarded 57-50 (16-13 offensive).

Larson dazzles in drive to the front at Fontana

By JENNA FRYER Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. Kyle Larson was ninth on the final restart at California, with four rows of traffic to navigate in two laps in a frantic bid for the best finish possible. With Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart at the front, Larson wasnt even thinking about victory. Tonys going to win, Larson radioed his Chip Ganassi Racing team. Man, these restarts are crazy. You never know, replied crew chief Chris Heroy. So Larson went for the win. He weaved low on the start alongside teammate Jamie McMurray but quickly surged ahead. Then he blew past childhood idol Jeff Gordon and found himself in a side-by-side race with Paul Menard. Using the apron, his wheels inching dangerously close to the infield grass, Larson quickly cleared Menard. He gained five spots on the first lap and now had just three cars in front of him. He again drove low. As Kyle Busch passed his older brother and Stewart for the lead, Larson swept past Stewart and tucked in behind Busch. He looked inside for the lead,but Busch threw a block that stopped Larsons momentum. No matter. Second was just fine for the rookie. Wow, Larson said after following Busch across the finish line at Auto Club Speedway. Wow! Wow! Good job! Larson was echoing the sentiments of thousands of fans who had just been wowed by a dazzling drive through the pack. If there were any doubts that he belonged at NASCARs top level, the 21-year-old answered them at Fontana. He beat Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick on Saturday for his first win in a Nationwide Series race, then seemed to use everything hed learned from watching the big names all those years to nearly steal Sundays victory, too. Larson, you may recall, is the former sprint car driver thats been raved about by Kasey Kahne, Stewart and Gordon for years. Theyd seen what he could do in a car, including one magical night in 2011 at Stewarts Eldora Speedway, where Larson became only the second driver in history to win in all three kinds of USAC cars in a single night. Although his interest was in IndyCar, he was snapped up before the 2012 season by Chip Ganassi and placed in a NASCAR driver development program. He was 19 and competing in a stock car for the first time in his life. He was placed in the K&N Pro Series East and won two races and the championship. Larson was in a Nationwide car the next year. His debut was bumpy he was the driver who sailed into the catchfence in a last-lap wreck at the season-opener at Daytona but Larson went on to finish eighth in the final standings. He raced almost weekly against Kyle Busch, mixed it up with Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano, sometimes Harvick and Matt Kenseth. Come July, Ganassi was ready to promote him to the big leagues. It meant parting ways with longtime driver Juan Pablo Montoya, who had a relationship with Ganassi spanning more than a decade that included an Indianapolis 500 win and a Champ Car title. Critics cried the kid wasnt ready. After just two years in stock cars? Those critics didnt include his car owner, his fellow competitors or Target, which finances the No. 42 Chevrolet. Its amazing what Nationwide racing will do for you when youre racing against Cup guys, Kyle Busch said. Its no surprise Larson is good. He gets the experience there of racing against me, Kevin, racing against guys like Matt Kenseth. Once he got here, he was more ready. Now that hes a Cup guy and performing well on Sundays, it gives him the confidence and the belief in himself and his team that he can do it Saturday and Sunday both. Larson is the fresh new face that represents the future of NASCAR. Hes the first to reach the big leagues but theres a whole crop behind him in 18-year-olds Chase Elliott and Dylan Kwasniewski, plus Ryan Blaney and Ty Dillon. It doesnt hurt NASCARs diversity initiative that hes Japanese-American with a backstory his maternal grandparents were among the thousands of Japanese Americans sent to a California internment camp during World War II. What matters now, though, is what he can do in a race car. He can be quiet and unassuming. He is, after all, the kid who fell for an elaborate family ruse into his teen years that Santa Claus himself was delivering his Christmas presents. Learning the truth upset him, but thats about the only thing that fazes Larson. He doesnt get rattled, is never awe-struck in the company of all the big stars he watched on TV as a boy, even as hes lining up next to them on the starting grid every Sunday. Larson did get annoyed, however, in January when he convinced himself he bombed during his first stint of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, his first career sports car race. But he bounced back, just as he did when he crashed at Daytona, or the five times before Sunday that hed run second to Kyle Busch or Keselowski or Logano in a NASCAR race. I was right on Kyle down the backstretch and it went through my mind, I might sweep the weekend here, Larson added, smiling. We will take a second. It seems like I run second a lot in stock cars but I will take a second.

St. Johns senior Ryan Koester, representing the West, pulls up for a transition jumper in the Division IV Boys District 8 All-Star Roundball Game Tuesday night at the Elida Fieldhouse. (Delphos Herald/Pat Agler) Ben Bowers (2 3s) and 10 by Leipsics Zach Kuhlman. St. Johns senior Ryan Koester notched eight points (2 treys), while Lincolnview Kyle Williams was unable to play due to injury. The East (who counted 56-of-124 shots, 16-of-66 beyond the arc, for 45.2 percent), was led by 36 points and 10 caroms by Columbus Groves Will Vorhees (5 bombs), along 28 from Upper Scioto Valleys Dustin Hunsicker (4 rainbows) and 16 each by Perrys Bruce Hodges (13 rebounds, 5 assists) and Pandora-Gilboas Jared Tousley (17 caroms). As the game wore on, the tempo became more freewheeling and less intense until down the stretch, when the game looked like it might be headed to overtime. Minsters Brandon Hoying gave the West a lead on his 3-ball with seven seconds left but Hodges forced overtime on his triple that beat the horn. In OT, Etzlers bombs gave the Westerners the lead for good. In the opener, there wasnt much of a game as the Easts Martyce Kimbrough (Lima Central Catholic) scored 14 of his 32 markers (8 bombs) in the first five minutes to stake them to an early 25-3 edge. From there, the East (who were a torrid 60-of-112 from the floor, 28-of-60 on treys, for 53.5 percent) dominated. Bath senior Tarren Sullivan added 32 markers (5 trios; 13 boards, 3 assists), while Elidas Louis Gray added 20 (3 bombs; 3 steals) and

Cavaliers hold off Raptors 102-100

By TOM WITHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND The Raptors arent officially in the NBA playoffs. They dont look ready for them, either. Dion Waiters scored 24 points, Luol Deng added 19 and the Cleveland Cavaliers prevented Toronto from getting closer to a postseason spot with a 102-100 win over the sloppy Raptors on Tuesday night. Toronto fell behind by 21 points in the third quarter, then battled back to take a 95-94 lead. But the Raptors fell apart in the final minutes. With their fourth loss in six games, the Raptors dropped one-half game behind Chicago for the No. 3 playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. We gotta get back to who we are, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said in disgust. Its easy to get up for OKC, Miami and Indiana but the other teams are playing for something too, which is pride. That can be

even more dangerous. Despite playing without All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who missed his fifth straight game with a strained biceps tendon, the Cavs were able to hold on and snap a 5-game losing streak at home. It was a good win by our guys, coach Mike Brown said. Thats a playoff team. They were playing good basketball. In a game like that, maybe earlier in the season we might have lost, especially coming down the stretch when a team makes a run against us. Our guys found a way to win. Kyle Lowry scored 22 and Terrence Ross had 16 for the Raptors, who had a chance to tie it in the final seconds but guard Greivis Vasquez lost his footing and committed a turnover with 1.9 seconds left. I was trying to spin and I lost my balance, Vasquez said. It was just a bad play for me. It was me going to my weak hand and I lost my balance, stepped kind of weird. I turned the ball over. Ill take responsibility. Im not going to run away. Im a man. I wish I could be in that position again so we have another opportunity tomorrow (at Boston). Toronto took a 95-94 lead on Vasquezs 3-pointer with 6:45 remaining but the Raptors went just 1-of-9 from the floor and scored five points the rest of the way. Tristan Thompson added 15 points and 13 rebounds and Jarret Jack had 13 points for Cleveland, which kept its faint playoff hopes alive. The Cavs trail idle Atlanta by 4 games for the No. 8 playoff slot. The Raptors may be closing in on their first postseason appearance since 2008 but the Atlantic Division leaders looked out of sorts at both ends. They fought back from a big deficit but fell apart with the game on the line. Toronto missed three free throws in the final 4:26 but still had a chance to force overtime or possibly steal their 40th win after forcing a Cleveland turnover on an errant inbounds pass with 7.8 seconds to go. But Vasquez, who finished with 16 points, drove the left side and slipped about 10 feet from the basket. As he fell, Vasquez flung the ball in desperation and it was intercepted on the right side by Deng. Vasquez remained on the floor for a few seconds grabbing his ankle before he limped off the court. It was a handoff to Greivis to turn the corner, Casey explained. I thought he turned it pretty well and his ankle went out on him. But one play was not when we lost that game. The game was decided with the way we played in the first quarter.

Associated Press STORRS, Conn. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis had the third triple-double in UConn history as the Huskies moved into their 21st straight NCAA regional semifinal with a 91-52 rout of Saint Josephs on Tuesday night. Mosqueda-Lewis had 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, to lead five players in double figures for the top-ranked Huskies (36-0), who won their 42nd straight game. Breanna Stewart added 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Bria Hartley also chipped in 20 points for the defending national champions, who are trying to win a record ninth NCAA tournament. Erin Shields and Sarah Fairbanks each had 12 points to lead Saint Josephs which finished the year at 23-10. Natasha Cloud had 10 and six assists for the Hawks. UConn will face 12th-seeded BYU in Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday. The Cougars upset Nebraska in the second round, sparing the Huskies a date with the Cornhuskers on their home court. It was the 14th triple-double in NCAA tournament history. LOUISVILLE REGIONAL MARYLAND 69, TEXAS 64 COLLEGE PARK, Md. Alyssa Thomas scored all 16 of her points in the second half and Maryland squeezed past cold-shooting Texas to reach the Sweet 16. The fourth-seeded Terrapins (26-6) next face Tennessee, the No. 1 seed in the Louisville Regional. Maryland is 23-8 in the tournament under coach Brenda Frese and has reached the round of 16 in six of her 12 seasons at the helm. Texas trailed by 11 points with 9:24 left, but an 8-0 run cut the deficit to 65-64 with 43 seconds left. After Marylands 16th turnover of the game, Chassidy Fussell missed a 3-point try and Marylands Laurin Mincy made two free throws for a three-point lead. Nekia Jones then bounced a 3-point try off the rim for the Longhorns and Thomas clinched the victory by sinking two foul shots with 8 seconds to go. STANFORD REGIONAL PENN STATE 83, FLORIDA 61 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Maggie Lucas and Dara Taylor each scored 22 points to send Penn State into the Sweet 16 with a win over Florida.

Fellow rookie Allisha Gray added 10 points for the fourth-seeded Tar Heels (26-9), who led by nine at halftime then dominated the opening minutes of the second half to turn the game into a rout. North Carolina ran off 14 straight points to blow the game open, with DeShields scoring twice during that flurry to build a 57-31 lead with 11 minutes left that allowed the Tar Heels to coast to the Stanford Regionals round of 16. The Tar Heels pressured the fifth-seeded Spartans (23-10) and turned the game into the upand-down pace they wanted. They finished with a 17-4 edge in fast-break points and 15 points off turnovers in a huge improvement from their firstround struggles against UT Martin.

PORT BOLIVAR, Texas (AP) Peering through binoculars and small portable telescopes mounted on tripods, two conservationists stood near the beach on Texas Bolivar Peninsula on Tuesday, searching for birds that might have tar-like oil on them from a weekend spill in the nearby Houston Ship Channel. Kristen Vale who wore a cap with the words Protect Piping Plovers, a reference to a type of shorebird spotted a small brownish bird darting across the sand. A least sandpiper with oil on its belly, Vale told colleague Pete Deichmann, who jotted down the information in a green notebook. Both Vale and Deichmann work for the Houston chapter of the National Audubon Society and were conducting a survey of the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary, an area of salt marshes, mud flats and beach that can have up to 10,000 birds daily. As environmental groups and officials continued to evaluate the possible impact of the spill on wildlife and the shoreline, the Coast Guard partially reopened the Houston Ship Channel on Tuesday after assessment teams deemed it clear enough for passage. The channel had been closed since Saturday, when a barge carrying 900,000 gallons oil

Officials hopeful oil spill not hard on wildlife

collided with a ship, causing the spill. Officials believe up to 170,000 gallons of tar-like oil might have spilled into the waters south of Houston. Early on during what was to be a nearly three-hour survey, Vale and Deichmann said they were encouraged by initial results that seemed to indicate the effects of the oil on wildlife might not be as great as initially feared. State and federal officials seemed to echo those sentiments Tuesday as they said the effects of the oil spill on birds and other wildlife remains relatively low. But they remained cautious, saying they continue to find injured animals that they are cleaning and treating. Well be here until the last bird has been recovered, said Richard Arnhart, with the Texas General Land Offices oil spill prevention division. You are going to have various stages of oiled wildlife. The Coast Guard began to allow more traffic after a test run of two ships a Carnival cruise and a boat belonging to the Houston Pilots association to make sure the water was clean. Officials expect it to take about three days for channel traffic to get back to normal. About 100 ships were waiting Tuesday morning to move through the channel, which connects Southeast Texas to the Gulf of Mexico and is a key

Central Insurance announces promotions

Information submitted VAN WERT The Central Insurance Companies has announced several promotions effective March 10. Todd Simpson, JD, CPCU, CIC, ARe, has been promoted to Assistant Vice President of Claims. A graduate of the Indiana University School of Law, Simpson has been employed by Central for 13 years. He has held positions as a Claims Attorney and Claims Operations Director, and has had a direct impact on claims results and operations. Simpson holds the Chartered Property Simpson and Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) and Associates in Reinsurance (ARe) designations.

On a typical day, the channel, part of the Port of Houston, handles as many as 80 large ships, as well as about 300 to 400 tugboats and barges. Tiffany Parker of Fort Smith, Ark., was finally able to depart for her cruise with friends and family on Tuesday after a two-day delay. Most people are not happy and disappointed, but I think they realize its not Carnivals fault, Parker said. Its an oil spill. The amount of oil spilled was much less than such major U.S. disasters as the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska, which dumped 11 million gallons of oil into the Prince William Sound, and the Deepwater Horizon spill, which resulted in 100 million gallons of oil entering the Gulf of Mexico four years ago. But it still required a major cleanup effort by state authorities who laid down miles of tube-like barriers and deployed yellow-uniformed workers to pick up black, quarter-sized tar balls washing up on shore. Wildlife protection workers picked up birds stained in oil for cleaning. Officials said nearly 20 birds injured by oil had been found and were being treated. An additional 10 birds have died from oil exposure.

Facebook buys virtual reality co. Oculus for $2B

NEW YORK (AP) Facebook has agreed to buy Oculus for $2 billion, betting that its virtual reality technology may be a new way for people to communicate, learn or be entertained. This is a long-term bet on the future of computing, said Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg Tuesday on a call with analysts. I believe Oculus can be one of the platforms of the future. Oculus makes the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset thats received a lot of attention from video game developers, though it has yet to be released for consumers. The headsets cover a users eyes and create an immersive world that reacts to turning ones head or moving back and forth. Beyond games, Zuckerberg said virtual reality headsets might someday be used to enjoy a courtside seat at a basketball game, study in a classroom, consult with a doctor face-to-face or shop in a virtual store. The technology also has social applications, he said. Imagine sharing not just moments with friends online but entire experiences and adventures, he said. It is Facebooks second big acquisition in as many months. Last month the social network announced that it would pay $19 billion deal messaging startup WhatsApp, a deal that hasnt closed. I dont think you should expect us to make multiple multibillion-dollar acquisitions within a couple months frequently, Zuckerberg said. But he called Oculus a unique company with a major lead on rivals. He said virtual reality technology is a computing platform unto itself, comparing it to personal computers, which revolutionized the world in the 1970s and 1980s, and mobile phones. Facebook Inc. said Tuesday that the

DEAR BRUCE: My husband, who is 60 years old, is looking to retire in two years. I retired five years ago. We have saved our whole lives and have a credit score of 849. Our daughter, who is going through a divorce, has some money problems. Her vehicle needs to be replaced, and she will not qualify for a car loan on her own. We would like to co-sign on a car loan with her to help her out. Can we do this without compromising our credit rating and still be OK when my husband retires? Is there anything we should do to cover ourselves? -- M.B., via email DEAR M.B.: I dont have any problem with what you want to do, assuming you feel that you can afford the money. There is nothing I can see that will compromise your credit rating. The only thing is, if your daughter doesnt make the payments, you are stuck with paying the balance of the loan. You ask if theres a way to cover yourselves. Unfortunately, thats not possible. Your daughter apparently has severe financial problems, and nobody wants to loan her money. Youre as good as gold and can easily get a loan, but you must understand that if she doesnt make the payments, you are directly on the hook. If you dont make the payments, then your credit rating will be compromised. DEAR BRUCE: I am a 61-year-old retired construction worker. I have approximately $135,000 in my union benefit annuity. I should do a roll-over, but Im not sure where I should re-invest. We have an adequate retirement, so we would like to place it in a very safe account. It takes six weeks to get the money out of the account, so if something drastic was to happen and the market was to go down, my account would suffer substantially. This is why I want to move the account. The account is evaluated on the day of withdrawal. -- W.D., via email DEAR W.D.: Your question asks for something that is absolutely not available unless you are prepared to give up all the interest the money could earn, and I think that would be a tragedy. If you want a very safe account, you will limit yourself to things such as CDs and certain savings accounts. I understand you are concerned about the money not

being available for six weeks, and if the market went down, you would suffer substantially. This is a possibility, but very unlikely. If safety remains your No. 1 concern, take the money and put it into something like a five-year CD at your local bank. You realize that you are going to earn very little money and you will also be penalized by the tax man. You might also wish to consider tax-free municipal bonds. There have been substantial failures in municipalities around the country -Detroit is the classic example -- and as a consequence, there is a certain degree of risk. But there are solid communities with little possibility of going under. You might want to consider their bonds because of the tax-free provision. It all comes back to this business of you not wanting to take any risk. I dont think at 61 years old you should be writing off the idea of taking some risk to earn a decent return on your money. DEAR BRUCE: My son is unable to pay back his student loans. He attended a community college last year. He is currently looking for a job to start paying on his debt. How should we handle this? Should we contact Sallie Mae and let them know he cant afford to pay right now? Will they defer payments? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: It will depend on whether his debts are private or public. Contact the holder of the loans, at least one of which you mentioned is Sallie Mae. Explain the situation, that your son is unemployed at this time and currently seeking a job to pay back his debts. I am sure they hear this often. Be honest and explain, and perhaps they will be willing to help.(Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams.com. Questions of general interest will be answered in future columns. Owing to the volume of mail, personal replies cannot be provided.) DISTRIBUTED BY UNIVERSAL UCLICK FOR UFS

deal includes $400 million in cash and 23.1 million shares worth about $1.6 billion. Oculus employees are also eligible for an additional $300 million if the company achieves certain targets. Facebook Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman said Oculus was valued based on the expected returns from the video game industry alone, with a higher return expected if it can expand into communications, entertainment or other fields. Zuckerberg said Facebook intends to let Oculus continue with its roadmap of development but help out with recruiting, marketing, infrastructure and opening doors to new partnerships. He said he intends not to make a profit on hardware but instead make the product affordable and ubiquitous so Facebook could look at generating revenue from services, software, advertising, virtual goods or other areas.

ASK MR. KNOW-IT-ALL by Gary Clothier

Q: I was fortunate to have seen Andy Williams several times in Branson, Mo. I was saddened to hear of his passing. My favorite song is "Moon River." I was listening to some of the words: There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end, Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend, Moon River and me. I have to ask: What is a huckleberry friend? -- J.S., Mount Penn, Pa. A: I am asked this question every few years. Since the passing of Andy Williams on Sept. 25, I have received many emails and letters with the same question. First, let me tell you the huckleberry story. When early American colonists encountered a native berry, they mistook it for the European berry known as the "hurtleberry." The name stuck, but the pronunciation changed over time to huckleberry. By the mid- to late- 1800s, huckleberry became slang for "an all-around nice person." Now, to confuse things a bit, huckleberry could also mean "a small amount or distance" or an "insignificant thing or person." This meaning led to another popular phrase at the time, to bet a huckleberry to a persimmon, meaning a very small bet. The lowly huckleberry was also used in a phrase indicating something or someone special, as in "the only huckleberry on the bush," which I'm sure led to the phrase "huckleberry friend," meaning someone very unique or special. Q: I was wondering if there are books available that list every character actor? My wife and I have seen books about movie stars, but we have never seen anything on the people who play certain characters or bit parts in movies. -- J.R., Cheboygan, Mich. A: A few recommended books are "Names You

Huckleberry Friend baffles reader

Never Remember, With Faces You Never Forget," by Justin Humphreys, and "Hey! It's That Guy!" by Tara Ariano and Adam Sternbergh. You should be able to order the books from any bookstore or on Amazon.com. Q: I wonder how many times Ive blamed Sigmund Freud for slips of my tongue or saying something I didnt want to say. Is there a technical term for a Freudian slip? -- V.L., Seaford, Del. A: The technical word for a Freudian slip is parapraxis. Parapraxis is not limited to a slip of the tongue; it also includes forgetting names, misplacing items, misreading or mishearing. The error is blamed on some unconscious, subdued wish, dream or conflict. Freud discussed his theory of parapraxis in his book, Zur Psychopathologie des Alltagslebens (1901), translated to The Psychopathology of Everyday Life. Q: My friends grandfather used to sing a song with the phrase, While behind the barn, on my knees, I thought I heard a chicken sneeze. Can you tell me the title of the song? -- E.G., Redondo Beach, Calif. A: The title of the nonsense song is Polly Wolly Doodle. While many sources say there is no information of its origin, others say it was first published in a Harvard student songbook in 1880. Here are the lines youre thinking of: Behind the barn, down on my knees, I thought I heard a chicken sneeze. He sneezed so hard with the whooping cough, He sneezed his head and tail right off. Shirley Temple sang the song in the 1935 film, The Littlest Rebel. The song was also featured in the 1938 film You Cant Take It With You. Over the years, many artists, including Alvin and the Chipmunks, have recorded the song. Q: A couple years ago, I read about the worlds most expensive suitcase. I forget the price, but it was well over $1,000. Where are these suitcases sold? I would like to get a picture of it for fun. -J.O., Anaheim, Calif.

A: The award for the most expensive suitcase in the world goes to Henk. The Henk suitcase was created by Henk van de Meene, who runs a real estate business -- he designed this suitcase for his personal use. The suitcase is custom made in the Netherlands. According to the company website, it is carried by only eight stores in seven countries. (You cannot find one in the U.S.) A Henk suitcase costs $20,000. No, that is not a typo. It really is $20,000. The company sells approximately 3,000 cases a year. Q: The song Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival was one of my favorite songs when it was released in 1969. At the end of each verse is the line Theres a bad moon on the rise. For years, I always thought they were saying Theres a bathroom on the right. Is there a term for mishearing the lyrics of a song in this way? -G.K.L., Monona, Wis. A: There is a term for mishearing lyrics -youre describing a mondegreen. American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in a 1954 article. Wright said the word comes from her own experience in misunderstanding a line in a poem her mother used to read her, the 17th-century ballad The Bonny Earl o Moray. She recalls the line, Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands, Oh, where hae ye been? They hae slain the Earl o Moray, and Lady Mondegreen. The actual ending is: And laid him on the green. She decided this slip in hearing would be called a mondegreen.

North Korea fires 2 missiles as its rivals meet

Water

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) North Korea test-fired two medium-range ballistic missiles today, South Korea and the U.S. said, a defiant challenge to a rare three-way summit of its rivals Seoul, Tokyo and Washington that focused on the Norths security threat. The launch of the Rodong missiles for the first time since 2009 violates U.N. Security Council resolutions and marks a big escalation from a series of shorter-range rocket launches the North has staged in recent weeks to protest ongoing annual military drills by the U.S. and South Korea that Pyongyang claims are invasion preparation. The missiles flew about 650 kilometers (400 miles) off North Koreas east coast early this morning, South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Minseok said. It wasnt immediately clear where the missiles splashed down. Kim said the missiles were likely fired from a mobile launcher.

WASHINGTON (AP) People whove started applying for health insurance but arent able to finish before the March 31 enrollment deadline will get extra time, the Obama administration announced Tuesday. We are experiencing a surge in demand and are making sure that we will be ready to help consumers who may be in line by the deadline to complete enrollment, either online or over the phone, Health and Human Services spokesman Aaron Albright said. The White House is scrambling to meet a goal of 6 million signed up through new online markets that offer subsidized private health insurance to people without access to coverage on the job. The HealthCare. gov website got more that 1 million visitors Monday, and the administration also wants to prevent a repeat of website problems that soured consumers last fall. Officials said the grace period will be available to people on the honor system, meaning applicants will have to attest that

HHS grants extra time to enroll for health care

special circumstances or complex cases prevented them from finishing by March 31. Its unclear how long the extension will last. Some have urged the administration to allow until April 15, the tax filing deadline. People who are due refunds may be willing to put some of that money toward health care premiums. The latest tweak to the health care rollout is certain to infuriate Republican critics of President Barack Obamas signature law. It follows delays of the laws requirements that medium-sized to large employers provide coverage or face fines. The GOP is making repeal of the health care law its rallying cry in the fall congressional elections. The White House had signaled last week that a grace period of some sort was in the works. Spokesman Jay Carney said Friday that people in line by the deadline would be able to complete their applications. Administration officials argue thats not extending the deadline. They compare

it to the Election Day practice of allowing people to vote if they are in line when the polls close. The decision to grant extra time was first reported late Tuesday by The Washington Post. The administrations decision affects the 36 states where the federal government is taking the lead on sign-ups. The 14 states running their own websites are likely to follow, since some had been pressing for an extension on account of their own technical problems. Brian Haile, senior vice president for health policy at the Jackson Hewitt tax preparation firm, welcomed the move. The disbursement of tax refunds appears to be making a substantial difference in the willingness and ability of uninsured Americans to sign up for coverage, Haile said. Jackson Hewitt projects the administration can meet the goal of 6 million only if it allows people to keep signing up through April 15.

Mark Vorst presented the pros and cons of having a Dollar General Store in Ottoville and submitted photos of some of the exterior areas of the Dollar General in Delphos; trash lying around and sub-par parking areas. Dollar General is going to hurt our community, he said. They dont give back to communities. Vorst added the land is zoned residential; it has not been annexed or zoned commercially. We have three council members for it and three against, Langhals said. There are better locations. One resident said he thought it would be a huge mistake to put a Dollar General Store out by the school and asked for one good reason to do so. The room fell silent. I think we are stringing John (Schimmoeller) along, Langhals stated. Theres a lot of restrictions on that building and it wont look like the Dollar General in Delphos, Schimmoeller explained. He said it can be built to the specifications, which is something council members have not seen; the specifications. We only asked for the sewer tap, Schimmoeller said. Were waiting on the school board. Everyone should want the speed limit out there to be 35 miles per hour, no matter what happens. Schimmoeller said after the study was completed, he would bring the results to the next meeting. As discussed during Februarys meeting, council members are interested in pursuing the installation of sidewalks throughout the village. Langhals said

there are a high percentage of residents living in town with no access into town and he would like to do something about it. He added that it is a safety issue. One of the first target areas is State Route 66 west on Sunset Drive, which Langhals said council has been approached on many times in the past. Langhals asked if any sidewalk bids had come into the office. Council member Randy Altenburger said there have been no bids yet due to the weather. We have to look at the fact that we are forcing people to put sidewalks in and we need to have a plan, Altenburger said. It matters how we go about it. I think what we are after is to do it (sidewalk installations) in increments and see what we want to spend per year, Markward explained Do we have it in the budget; $6,000-$7,000? Langhals asked. Fiscal Officer Jeanne Wannemacher said residents will pay 70 percent of the cost of the sidewalks and the village will pay the balance. Can we get the bids by the next meeting? Langhals asked. Council members agreed to acquire bids and present them to members at the next meeting. Fire Chief Honigford approached council on plans to renovate the exterior of the fire station. He said budget money was left over from last year and they could use those funds in addition to the $50,000 allotted to them this year. That money went back into the General Fund, Miller explained. Fire personnel feel the station is a centerpiece of the town and they want to fix it up to last another

Get muscle-minded
Strength is a type of tness measured by how much force you can exert with your muscles. You think of strength when you see a body-builder, but that image keeps many people especially girls from exercising to build muscles. You dont have to be as big as Mark McGwire, though, to get the benets of strong muscles. Here are strong arguments for building strength: Youre better able to lift heavy stuff and less likely to hurt yourself doing it. You give shape to your body with wellformed muscles. Youre burning more energy (calories) all the time because muscles burn energy. You can do better in sports, games, and everyday activities. Of course, its one thing to want well-developed muscles; getting them is another matter. Building muscles happens naturally when you chop wood or lift heavy boxes. You can target muscle development by lifting weights

40-50 years. Honigford described the work to be done to the exterior: remove the metal fascia, raise two bay doors, replace two bay doors, replace siding, replace old windows with picture windows and install brick fascia. Any work we can do we will do ourselves, he said. We will have some interior work to take care of. How much money is the fire department putting into it? Langhals questioned. What are you asking us for? About $10,000 more, Honigford replied. $50,000 is allocated for this year, Altenburger re-iterated. They need $10,000 more to do what they want. Fire personnel reported that from 2012-14, they have spent $40,428 on equipment and $380,000 in grant money which was put into the community. Any fundraiser money is used to buy equipment. Recently, the department bought two Jaws of Life and will spend more money for additional equipment. Honigford said he would like to get the project started once the weather warms up. We are lucky to have the fire department, Langhals said. If we allocated $50,000, then that is what we should stick with. When this job is done, will the department be done? Miller asked. We are looking at street problems, too, Altenburger said. We will take a look at it and let you know at the next meeting. The next village meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on April 22 in council chambers.

Look in the sports section and make a list of every sport mentioned. Next, rank each one according to how much the competitors rely on muscle strength. The more brute strength required, the higher on the list. or doing exercises such as curl-ups or push-ups. courage lifting weights until your body matures; be sure to ask. If you need a more organized approach, a good club, or gym, has tons of exercise equipment as well as exercise classes and a swimming pool. Some clubs charge a fee, while other facilities are free or offer reduced rates. The big advantage of belonging to a club is that a workout expert is usually on hand to make sure that you are using the equipment and your muscles safely and effectively.

Around the area, each county had declining rates. Putnam County had a 6.6 percent rate in January drop to 6.3 percent in February. Paulding County fell from 6.8 percent in January to 6.4 percent in February. Mercer County continued to have the lowest county rate in the state, sliding from 4.4 to 4.3 percent. Mercer Countys 4.3 percent was the lowest in Ohio

for February. Delaware and Holmes counties were at 4.6 percent, Auglaize County hit 4.7 percent, Union and Hancock counties reported 5.2 percent rates and Franklin County was listed with a 5.4 percent unemployment rate. The Ohio state unemployment rate for February dropped four-tenths of a point to 6.5 percent. The national jobless rate rose one-tenth to 6.7 percent in February.

A strong argument
The best way to build muscle strength is to lift weights two or three times a week, usually by working out on weight machines that target different muscle groups. Your doctor might dis-

Answers to Mondays questions: Formica was originally developed as electrical insulation in 1913. The greyhound became popular with U.S. Midwest settlers who needed help with vermin control on their prairie farms in the mid-1800s. The dogs, the fastest on earth, were imported from Europe to hunt down jackrabbits that were eating crops and competing with livestock for food. Jackrabbit hunting led to the sport of coursing.

Todays joke: A hobo comes up to the front door of a neat looking farmhouse and raps gently on the door. When the farm owner answers, the hobo asks him, Please, sir, could you give me something to eat? I havent had a good meal in several days. The owner says, I have made a fortune in my lifetime by supplying goods for people. Ive never given anything away for nothing. However, if you go around the back, you will see a gallon of paint and a clean paint brush. If you will paint my porch in the back of the house, I will give you a good meal. So the hobo goes around back and a while later he again knocks on the door. The owner asks, Finished already? Good. Come on in. Sit down. The cook will bring your meal right in. The hobo says, Thank you very much, sir. But theres something that I think you should know. Its not a Porsche you got there. Its a BMW.
