Vancrest Best of Best for third year
Information submitted
VAN WERT An
approaching weather system
could mean the beginning of
severe storm season in north-
west Ohio.
There is the possibility
of a big severe weather out-
break on Friday and Van
Wert County could be in
the middle of it, Van Wert
County office of Homeland
Security and Emergency
Management Director Rick
McCoy said.
He went on to say the
main dangers for this area
late Friday afternoon will be
damaging winds and possible
isolated tornadoes.
The Storm Prediction
Center is forecasting a large
severe outbreak stretching
from Alabama to Michigan
which could be more signifi-
cant than the deadly outbreak
on Tuesday in Missouri and
Illinois.
According to McCoy,
abundant moisture will be
transported into the Ohio
Valley from the Gulf of
Mexico. The ingredients for
the storms are a warm front
which will bring tempera-
tures back into the middle
60s, along with a strong jet
stream, an approaching cold
front and a dynamic low
pressure system. The biggest
threat for supercell storms
with large, long-lived torna-
does will likely be focused
on southern Indiana, southern
Ohio and northern Kentucky,
while this area may have to
deal with isolated twisters in
the late afternoon hours until
sunset.
It is an early beginning
to the severe storm season
due to the La Nia weather
pattern this year. Last year,
Van Wert experienced four
spring tornadoes beginning
in April, which was also a La
Nia spring.
The difference in the tim-
ing is due to last years hard
winter, which caused storm-
formation to be delayed until
April when warmer weather
began. This year follows a
very mild winter which will
bring the severe weather ear-
lier. McCoy feels this spells
trouble going through the
month of March because of
warm ups followed by cold
air masses moving in from
Canada which in turn causes
strong storms to develop.
McCoy noted that look-
ing at historical data from
1965 and 1974, both of those
springs followed mild win-
ters. A big Palm Sunday tor-
nado outbreak hit in 1965,
while an F-5 tornado hit
Xenia in 1974.
With these similarities in
mind, McCoy warned local
residents to take Fridays
severe weather threat seri-
ously along with any future
early spring storms that
develop. He cautioned people
to review weather drills and
plans and to have a weather
radio available for National
Weather Service warn-
ings, and statements made
by local media outlets and
the Van Wert Emergency
Management frequency at
155.805 on a scanner.
McCoy also reminded
the public that in the event
he activates the local siren
systems, they will sound
for only the portions of the
county which are affected by
a tornadoes path and that the
sirens are not used for an all
clear signal.
Severe storm risk for today
BY MIKE FORD

DELPHOS For the
third consecutive year, the
local long-term care facility
has been deemed among the
best nursing homes in the
country.
Vancrest Healthcare
Center of Delphos has been
ranked in U.S. News and
World Reports Best of the
Best nursing homes in Ohio.
Life Enrichment Coordinator
Amber Bidlack, LSW, ADC,
says being well-regarded by
state evaluators is typical at
Vancrest.
Weve been ranked in this
for three consecutive years
and this is quite an honor for
us. Its all about the care; we
focus on the residents and
we have excellent staff. Our
state survey last year found
us deficiency-free in quality
of care. They take surveys
once a year and weve always
had good surveys. It shows
were doing something right,
here, she said. Every other
year, the state takes a family-
satisfaction survey and then,
the next year, they take a
resident-satisfaction survey.
Every year, they come into
our building and inspect.
Theyre very thorough and
they arent able to find any
problems with us. We pride
ourselves on quality care and
we pride ourselves on being
among the best of the best.
She says the evaluation
doesnt rank the whole nation,
but each state separately.
The government looks at
different aspects of the nurs-
ing home and chooses the top
ones in each state. Its meant
to be a helpful thing for the
families to know what the top
nursing homes are and why
theyre ranked so highly,
Bidlack said.
Vancrest of Delphos
received five of five stars on
the following criteria:
Overall From ratings
in health inspections, nurse
staffing, and measures of
medical-care quality;
Health Inspections How
well this home met health
and safety standards for food
preparation and other nursing-
home activities in the latest
three state inspections. Such
inspections are conducted at
least every 15 months;
Quality Measures
Percentages of residents who
got recommended care, such
as flu vaccinations, and per-
centages of residents who
had pain, bedsores, urinary
tract infections, and other
care-related problems.
Vancrest got 3 out of
5 stars on Nurse Staffing.
Administrator Cindy
Langenkamp said that is
because the criteria is to
compare the number of regis-
tered nurses alone to the state
and national averages. She
explained that many facilities
have a lot of registered nurs-
es working in management,
whereas Vancrest has nurses
with other types of licensure
on hand. She said the state
average is one RN to 15 resi-
dents but Vancrest has about
half that, with approximately
6-8 residents for each per-
son licensed for direct patient
contact across the facility,
where people come and go
on any given day, including
the rehabilitation wing.

DELPHOS City
School District vot-
ers here will see a 5.5-
mills Current Operating
Expenses Levy renewal
on Tuesdays Primary
Election Ballot.
The measure was first
approved in 1982 and
generates approximately
$600,000 a year, accord-
ing to the Allen County
auditor. If not passed, it
will expire Dec. 31.
School officials
remind voters the levy
is a renewal and neces-
sary for the day-to-day
operations of the district
including teaching mate-
rials, utilities, cleaning
supplies, insurance, sala-
ries, etc. It also pays for
transportation expenses
for eligible students from
both the city and paro-
chial schools, along with
special needs services for
both schools.
If passed, the district
will be able to continue
to offer the services cur-
rently provided.
It will allow our
students to continue to
receive a good qual-
ity education, Interim
Superintendent Frank
Sukup said. We have
received an excellent rat-
ing from the State of Ohio
on the State Report Card
for the past three years as
well as maintaining one
of the lowest cost-per-
pupil rates in the state.
We are doing something
right.
The district has made
more than $1.4 million in
cuts since 2006, includ-
ing the elimination of 30
jobs and 32 supplemen-
tal contracts. The schools
went to pay-to-partici-
pate this year, saving the
district approximately
$100,000 a year.
The teaching staff is
also sharing the burden
of reducing costs, taking
a pay and step-increase
freeze on their last con-
tract.
I dont know where
else we can cut, School
Board President John
Klausing said. Weve
been cutting for the last
seven years. We are doing
the best we possibly can
with what we have.
Sukup said the district
understands the econom-
ic hardships residents
face.
We are taking nothing
for granted. We are hop-
ing for a positive result,
Interim Superintendent
Frank Sukup said. We
know these are tough
times and a lot of peo-
ple are hurting. We hope
people see the need to
fund and support the
schools. With the state
cutting funding each
year, we have to decide
what kind of education
we want to give our kids
in the district.
If not passed, vot-
ers will see the measure
again.
The levy is vital to
the financial health of the
district; therefore, it will
need to be placed again
on the November 2012
ballot, Klausing said.

Officials to widen probe into Ohio adoptive father
By ANN SANNER
and DAN SEWELL
Associated Press
TROY Federal and local
law enforcement officials said
theyre widening the investi-
gation into child sexual exploi-
tation allegations against an
adoptive father charged with
raping three boys in his care.
Officials said the father
hired one of the boys, a
10-year-old, out for sex, pros-
tituting him. The father and
two other men remained in
jail Thursday on rape charges.
The fathers name is being
withheld by The Associated
Press to protect the childrens
identities.
The boy shook when
asked about being prostitut-
ed to two men, according to
police. They said the child
was fearful of talking because
he didnt want to be taken
from his home or separated
from his new siblings.
Troy police said they
impounded the fathers truck
and seized four laptops from
the home and a video camera
and two wooden paddles from
the master bedroom. The father
worked out of his home as an
insurance claims adjuster.
School officials said the
man had recently withdrawn
the three adopted children
from school, saying he would
home school them. A neigh-
bor said he had no idea any-
thing lurid might be going on
in the home.
You dont know what
goes on inside peoples
homes, said neighbor Ed
Rogers, who had lived across
the street from the man the
past five years in a neighbor-
hood lined with single-story
ranch homes, typical in this
working class city of 25,000
people about 20 miles north of
Dayton. Ill never look at that
house the same way again. Ill
just look at it with sickness.
The man at the center of
the investigation is a longtime
Troy resident who had been
involved in a local youth bas-
ketball program. Police Capt.
Chris Anderson said police so
far havent found any signs
of any inappropriate behavior
with other children, even as
calls poured in from worried
parents.

4 killed in crash with wrong way driver
BOWLING GREEN (AP)
A driver going the wrong
way on Interstate 75 in Ohio
crashed head-on into a car
carrying Bowling Green State
University students, killing
both drivers, two other stu-
dents and injuring two others.
The accident happened
early this morning in Wood

Wood County Sheriff
Mark Wasylyshyn says the
accident occurred at a crest
in the highway and he doubts
the legal northbound driver
had any warning.
Bowling Green State

ing with police and hospital
officials to notify families of
the victims.

Irans top leader urges
high turnout in elections
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI
Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran Irans
supreme leader urged Iranians
to vote in large numbers as the
country held parliamentary
elections today, saying a high
turnout would send a strong
message to the enemies of the
nation in the nuclear standoff
with the West.
The balloting for the
290-member parliament is
the first major voting since
the disputed re-election
of President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad in June 2009
and the mass protests and
crackdowns that followed.
It is unlikely to change
Irans course over major pol-
icies including its con-
troversial nuclear program
regardless of who wins,
but it may shape the political
landscape for a successor to
Ahmadinejad in 2013.
And with the opposition
effectively crushed, the elec-
tions amount to a popularity
contest between conservative
supporters of Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
and their rivals who back
Ahmadinejad.
Khamenei, who has final
say on all state matters in
Iran, said it was a duty and
a right for every eligible
Iranian to vote, especially
now that the Iranian nation
is at a more sensitive period
amid the confrontation with
the West.
Because of the controver-
sies over Iran and increased
verbal threats; the more peo-
ple come to the polling sta-
tions, the better for the coun-
try, Khamenei said after
casting his ballot in Tehran
early today.
The higher the turnout,
the better for the future,
prestige and security of our
country, he added. The
vote always carries a mes-
sage for our friends and our
enemies.
A high turnout will be
seen as a major boost for
Irans ruling Islamic system,
showing popular support and
allowing it to stand firm in
its refusal to halt uranium
enrichment. The West sus-
pects Irans program is geared
toward making nuclear weap-
ons, a charge Tehran denies,
insisting its for peaceful pur-
poses only, such as energy
production.
Iranian state TV went live
from several polling stations
in Tehran and the provinces,
showing long lines of people
waiting to vote, followed by a
commentary saying the lines
were a disappointment to the
bad-wishers.
It claimed the U.S. and its
allies were hoping for a low
turnout that would show divi-
sions and a weakened Islamic
theocracy, making it easier
for the West to pressure Iran
over the nuclear issue. The
TV headlines proclaimed the
elections as a day of national
solidarity and a rebirth of
the nation.
More than 48 million
Iranians are eligible to vote at
the nearly 47,000 polling sta-
tions across the nation.
In the absence of major
reformist parties, which
were kicked off the politi-
cal stage over the 2009 post-
election turmoil, todays vote
is seen as a political battle-
ground for competing con-
servative factions supporting
Khamenei and those backing
Ahmadinejad.
The two groups were once
united but turned against
each other after crushing
reformists in the upheavals
that followed Ahmadinejads
disputed re-election. The
split dates back to last year,
when many conservatives
turned into strong critics of
Ahmadinejad after he dared
challenge Khamenei over
the choice of intelligence
chief in April and other pol-
icies.

Associated Press
Elections officials in sev-
eral states are concerned that
the closing of mail-processing
centers and post offices could
disrupt vote-by-mail balloting
this year, a potential problem
that has led some members of
Congress to call for a delay
until after the November elec-
tions.
The U.S. Postal Service
recently announced that it is
moving ahead with plans to
close at least 223 process-
ing centers and thousands of
post offices, adding to the 153
centers and 965 post offices
that have closed since 2008.
The moves are part of a wide-
ranging cost-cutting strategy
for an agency that estimates
it will lose up to $18 billion a
year by 2015.
Voting officials are raising
a variety of concerns, depend-
ing on the circumstances in
their states. Meanwhile, postal
customers have security con-
cerns about leaving ballots in
their mailboxes to be picked
up by postal carriers.
In California and Arizona,
officials say the closing of
processing centers could
delay the delivery of mail-in
ballots beyond the deadline to
have them counted.
The state registrar in Ohio
wrote the postmaster general
with concerns about ensuring
the security of ballots sent to
processing centers that will be
across state lines.
We just have to have a
moratorium through this pres-
idential year to avoid disas-
trous consequences, said
California Secretary of State
Debra Bowen, who wrote a
letter last week to the post-
master general urging a halt
to the closures until after the
November election. Im ask-
ing for a time-out.
In Oregon, the first state to
require vote-by-mail, the state
registrar says voters in rural
areas where post offices are
scheduled to be closed may
have nowhere nearby to drop
off their ballots. That would
be especially problematic
for those who have become
accustomed to mailing them
on the final weekend.
But officials dismissed
concerns raised in other states,
saying theyre well-equipped
to deal with the changes, in
part because they have such
extensive experience with
mail voting.
The Postal Service has said
the next round of facilities
wont close until August, and
it would then halt the process
temporarily at the end of the
month to minimize disrup-
tions ahead of the general
election.
The agency might begin its
closures in states that already
have held their primaries,
Postal Service spokeswom-
an Patricia Licata said. She
acknowledged that the con-
solidation will lead to longer
delivery times but dismissed
concerns that it could disen-
franchise voters.
We realize that election
mail is vital to the country, and
we dont want to do anything to
disrupt that, she said.
Mindful of the concerns
back home, some members
of Congress say they plan to
ask for another delay, after
the Postal Service agreed last
year to a five-month morato-
rium on the closures that ends
in mid-May.
According to the Postal
Service, once the moratori-
um lifts, the earliest a mail
processing center could close
would be August, partly
because the mail agency must
work to reassign employees.
The first mail processing cen-
ters to be affected, which are
yet to be determined, would
be a handful of places involv-
ing the least difficulty in
transferring employees.
Montana Sen. Jon Tester,
a Democrat who sits on the
committee that oversees the
agency, is working to mini-
mize the effects of the cuts.
Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said
he plans to file an amendment
seeking to delay closures until
after the presidential election.
He said they would dispropor-
tionately affect rural voters.
Closing these facili-
ties carries many unintended
consequences, Wyden, a
Democrat, said in a statement
last week. It is not a risk
worth taking.

WASHINGTON The
top two contenders for the
Republican presidential nomi-
nation are accusing each other
of benefiting from the support
of crossover Democratic vot-
ers in states that allow any-
one to participate in a party
primary.
And both are correct. Mitt
Romney and Rick Santorum
have each worked to woo
independent voters and con-
servative Democrats during
campaign appearances. While
it may be anathema to their
hard-core GOP supporters, its
an acknowledgement of the
kind of crossover appeal that
any GOP nominee will need
in November if hes to defeat
President Barack Obama.
It also creates a tricky rhe-
torical tightrope for the can-
didates: making a pitch to
non-Republican voters while
finding fault when an oppo-
nent does the same thing.
When Santorum made the
Michigan primary a squeak-
er this week, for example,
Romney attributed his rivals
strong second-place finish to
help from liberals who hoped
Santorum would make a
weaker opponent for Obama.
They got the news from
everyone from Michael Moore
to Barack Obamas team to,
frankly, Rick Santorum as
well, saying, Go play mis-
chief in the Republican Party.
Vote against Mitt Romney
and try to give this to Rick
Santorum. You know, they
dont want to face me in the
fall. Theyd rather face Rick
Santorum, Romney said in a
recent interview. They came
in, in large numbers, and
voted for Rick.
Santorum did get a boost
from Democrats; 13 per-
cent of his votes came from
them, according to exit polls,
compared with 4 percent for
Romney.
And when Romney
cruised to a lead-off win in
New Hampshire, Santorum
discounted it by saying the
victory came from an elector-
ate in which only a minority
was Republican.
Indeed, in exit polls in
New Hampshire, 53 percent
of respondents didnt identify
themselves as Republicans.
Overall, Romney received 62
percent of his support from
Republicans, 2 percent from
Democrats and 36 percent
from independents.
Those numbers are virtu-
ally identical to the partisan
breakdown of Santorum sup-
porters in New Hampshire: 65
percent Republican, 2 percent
Democratic and 32 percent
independent. But Santorum
placed a distant fifth.
In other words, each is
giving the other too much
credit for crossover appeal,
and neither is pure on the
subject.
We want the activists of
the party the people who
make up the backbone of the
Republican Party to have
a say in who our nominee
is, as opposed to a bunch of
people who dont even identi-
fy themselves as Republicans
picking our nominee,
Santorum told Minnesota vot-
ers on a conference call on
Jan. 29. I dont like that. I
believe that states should only
allow Republicans to vote in
Republican primaries.
He said that if voters want
to participate in the GOP con-
test, they should switch their
party identification.
Santorum changed his tune
a month later in Michigan,
sending automated calls to
Democrats encouraging them
to turn out for him.
Michigan Democrats
can vote in the Republican
primary on Tuesday. ... On
Tuesday, join Democrats who
are going to send a loud mes-
sage to Massachusetts Mitt
Romney by voting for Rick
Santorum for president. This
call is supported by hard-
working Democratic men
and women. Paid for by Rick
Santorum for president, the
call said.

WASHINGTON Maine
Republican Olympia Snowe
says the Senate spends too
much time in political battle
and not enough on solving
problems, and more than a
few of her colleagues agree.
Snowe, the Senates most
liberal Republican, found her-
self in a familiar spot Thursday
as the only member of her party
to join with Democrats on a
politically freighted vote. This
time, it was a vote to affirm an
Obama administration direc-
tive requiring employers to
provide contraception cover-
age to their workers regardless
of religious or ethical con-
cerns.
The vote, originally
demanded by Republicans in a
political battle that Democrats
came to embrace, provided
ample fodder for political ads
but had nothing to do with an
underlying highway bill. That
measure continues to twist in
the wind despite widespread
support, trapped in a divisive,
polarized Senate that rarely
seems to legislate and often
seems incapable of tackling
politically challenging prob-
lems.
So Snowe, 65, is leaving
at the end of the year, voicing
frustration that the Senate is
simply too polarized and that
she doesnt know whether she
could be productive in a
fourth Senate term.
Its a reflection of the
political dynamic in America,
where we dont look at
America as a whole. We look
at it through the red and blue
prism, Snowe said in an
interview. And so it becomes
more divisive and I think ulti-
mately has manifested itself
in the Senate and an over-
all process that lends itself
to dysfunction and political
paralysis that doesnt allow
problems to be solved.
Snowes departure con-
tinues a steady exodus of
the chambers moderates.
Centrists like Ben Nelson,
D-Neb., and Joe Lieberman,
I-Conn., are also leaving, fol-
lowing on the heels of recent
departures of Evan Bayh,
D-Ind., Blanche Lincoln,
D-Ark., and Republican-
turned-Democrat Arlen
Specter of Pennsylvania.
People in the center are
increasingly vilified by the
far left and the far right, said
Sen. Susan Collins, Snowes
home-state GOP colleague.
We used to be applauded
for bringing people together
to solve problems. Now we
tend to be criticized by both
sides.
Snowe is leaving even
though she would have been
poised to take the helm of
the Commerce Committee if
Republicans take control of
the chamber. She also serves
on the Finance Committee,
which has sweeping jurisdic-
tion over health care, taxes
and trade.
Theres little real legislating
going on in the Senate these
days, however, as the chamber
lurches from one politically
staged vote to another.
The chamber hasnt
debated a budget since 2009.
Annual spending bills are
passed in huge omnibus mea-
sures with little discussion,
much less amendment.
Theres a rank-and-file
rebellion brewing here, said
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
Most people who come to
the Senate work hard to get
here and have done things in
their lives of accomplishment.
And I think a lot of us are
getting tired of sitting around
looking at each other.
This body is supposed to
be a great deliberative body.
Its supposed to do whats
right for the nation, said Sen.
Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. If
everything here is political,
it its to score points rather
than solve problems, then
what good is the United States
Senate?
Added Feinstein: Its a
heartbreak. And its a heart-
break to lose (Snowe), can-
didly.
WASHINGTON (AP)
As he presses for the conserva-
tive votes he needs to overtake
GOP presidential front-runner
Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum
is hammering away at the role
state and federal governments
play in running schools.
Santorum plays up how
he and his wife have home-
schooled their seven children
and says parents should be the
ones responsible for educating
their kids.
Yet back when Santorum
was a senator from
Pennsylvania, he got a
Pittsburgh-area school district
to help pay tens of thousands
of dollars in tuition for his
children to receive online
schooling.
Its a bit of history thats
unknown to many voters
outside Pennsylvania as the
Republican nomination race
closes in on the 10 Super
Tuesday contests next week.
Santorum says he wants to
curtail dramatically the power
of states and the federal gov-
ernment in public education.
Not only do I believe the
federal government should get
out of the education business,
I think the state government
should start to get out of the
education business and put it
back with the local and into the
community, Santorum said
in a recent debate in Arizona
with his GOP rivals.
He mocks Americas
schools as factories that
stand as anachronistic relics
of the Industrial Revolution
and says he would home-
school his kids in the White
House if he becomes presi-
dent.
In the fall of 2004,
Santorums use of tax dol-
lars to pay for his kids home
schooling became controver-
sial because his family was
primarily living in Leesburg,
Va., west of Washington.
Following a local newspaper
report, the Penn Hills School
District near Pittsburgh tried
to recover about $73,000 that
it contended the state wrong-
ly sent to an Internet-based
charter school. Although the
Santorums owned a house in
the school district, officials
argued, they were living out
of state. The Pennsylvania
Education Department in
2006 agreed to pay the district
$55,000 to settle the dispute.
The cyberschool controver-
sy dogged Santorum through
his 2006 Senate re-election bid
and contributed to his 18-point
loss to Democrat Bob Casey.
Santorums campaign did
not respond this week to ques-
tions about his familys online
instruction, and its not known
whether his children received
teaching at home in addition to
what they got online.
The Santorums withdrew
their children from the cyber-
school and resumed home
schooling after Penn Hills
officials complained about the
tuition payments. Students in
cyberschools log onto comput-
ers to access their assignments
and teachers.
The National Home
Education Research Institute,
which specializes in home-
school research, estimated in
spring 2010 there were more
than 2 million home-schooled
students, about 3 percent of
the school-age population.
Brian D. Ray, president of the
institute, said while he didnt
know what percentage of
those students use online char-
ter schools, he has watched
it grow significantly over the
past five years.

COLUMBUS Jefferson
senior Curtis Miller has a
goal in mind: capture the
220-pound championship at
the 2011-12 Division III State
Wrestling Championships.
Winning his opening match
by pinfall over Pauldings
Tyler Ash (35-11) in 39 sec-
onds was only the first part of
his plan as the odds-on favor-
ite to win the title.
I was a bit nervous com-
ing in. There are a lot of
expectations on me and I felt
them some, Miller said. Its
nice to get the first match and
win under my belt. I didnt
want to give him any chance
of beating me; I wanted to
dominate from the start and I
did that.
Still, Miller, sporting a
53-0 mark, knows it isnt his
time to rest on his laurels,
either, especially after making
it to state as a sophomore and
qualifying last year but being
unable to go.
I have some unfinished
business; this was a first step
but I have three matches to
go to finish my business, he
added. That was disappoint-
ing last year to not be able to
wrestle here, so theres some
extra incentive. Ill probably
not do too much but I know
I need to stay focused for my
next match.
That would be this morn-
ing versus junior Jake Moore
(32-6) of Rootstown, who
beat Jacob Coon (42-9) of
Nelsonville-York in his open-
ing match.
For the five other Tri-
County athletes, the day
didnt end so well.
Both St. Johns seniors:
Logan Heiing (195 pounds)
and Logan Looser (160); were
ousted in their two matches,
as were Columbus Grove
seniors Gavin Windau (195)
and Dylan Kleman (138).
Van Wert junior heavy-
weight Terrin Contreras (32-
9) was also knocked out in
Disivion II.
A clearly disappointed
Heiing (39-8), coming off
his district title at Kettering
Fairmont, was upset by
Spencer Chenetski (41-7) of
Amanda-Clearcreek 5-4, then
was later eliminated by Travis
Jaramillo (49-13) of Archbold
in the consolation bracket.
I dont know why I didnt
wrestle my best; I just didnt.
Maybe the environment got
to me more than I thought;
that and the pressure I placed
on myself and others did to
do well, Heiing explained.
Plus, both of those guys were
really short and I hadnt wres-
tled too many guys like that
this year. It was hard to get to
their legs and I just couldnt
get done what I wanted.
However, Heiing figures
it still is a great accomplish-
ment to get this far.
It just doesnt feel like
it right now, he added. I
had a great senior year and
accomplished a lot of goals. I
just wish it had ended with a
better effort from me.
Looser (33-15) was defeat-
ed 7-5 by Codie Millhone (36-
12) of Zoarville Tuscarawas
Valley and then eliminated
when he fell 3-1 to Max
Brookes (37-7) of North Lima
South Range in the evening
session.
He also figured it was
nerves that affected him at
first but he wrestled better
later.
I didnt wrestle well the
first match but outside of
giving up some early back
points, I wrestled better the
second match, Looser noted.
I just did what I had done
all year but you have to be at
your best against guys you see
here. I wasnt but they were
both good matches.
It was a great ride. It was
an awesome experience and
even though Im out, a lot of
other guys wish theyd have
had this chance.
Kleman fell 17-4 to Luke
Kern (41-1) of Delta and then
was beaten 15-2 by Evan
Hansel (35-11) of Newark
Catholic. He nearly got an
early reversal into a pinning
combination in the second
match but couldnt hold it,
with the sophomore taking it
from there.
That happened both
matches; I couldnt finish
anything. The second match,
he countered everything I
threw at him, Kleman said.
That got frustrating. The
first match, he caught me off-
guard early and before I knew
it, I was down 5-0. He was
quicker than I was. I wanted
to come out more aggres-
sive the second match but I
couldnt finish.
Still, its just a great
atmosphere to experience,
win or lose.
Windau (30-13) had over-
come an early elbow injury
this season and a foot injury
later to get this far but he
couldnt get any farther: his
first match ended 7-4 against
Galion Northmors Tyler
Beck (37-7) and then he was
technical-falled by Matt Zaller
of Orwell Grand Valley to get
eliminated.
Gavin gave it his best but
he reinjured the foot. Still,
these are the first guys Ive
had down at state since I took
over the program, Grove
head man Eric Ernie Siefker
said. Ive had these guys for
a lot of years: they were man-
agers for me and also involved
in the Tri-County program in
grade school. I hope they set a
high bar for the younger guys
to follow.
Contreras also had two
good matches that didnt go
his way: a 10-4 opening loss
to Mark Castillo (32-3) of
New Philadelphia and then an
even tougher 3-2 loss at the
hands of New Richmonds
J.R. Forsee (42-5).
He was especially confi-
dent in his first match.
I had faced that kind of
competition before; that was
nothing new. The style was
nothing new, either; I had
faced that before and done
well on both counts, he
acknowledged. I thought
I was as mentally ready to
wrestle as I could have been;
I dont think I couldve been
more. I just wasnt as explo-
sive as Im used to. Im not
sure why that was so. I wasnt
finishing what I started with
my moves.
Division III quarterfinals

Miller lone Tri-County
wrestler in championship hunt

LIMA Delphos
Jefferson was giving Ottoville
all they wanted Thursday
night during their Division
IV district semi-final contest.
The Wildcats found them-
selves down two points to the
states number one ranked
team midway through the
third quarter. Thats when the
Big Green changed the com-
plexion of the game going on
a 7-0 run to end the quarter.
That run proved too much for
Jefferson to overcome as the
Wildcats fell to the Big Green
46-30 in the first district
semi-final at Lima Senior.
The win sends Ottoville (22-
0) to the district finals against
Kalida Saturday night at 7
p.m. Jefferson saw its season
end at 16-7.
Jefferson trailed 18-15 at
the half and quickly tied the
game at 18-18 on a Kennedy
Boggs three-pointer to open
the second half. Ottoville
regained the lead going up
three points on a basket by
Megan Bendele and a free
throw by Lauren Kramer.
Brooke Culp pulled the
Wildcats within one with
a basket before Bendele
extended the Ottoville lead
back to three with a basket.
Boggs quickly tied the game
with a three-pointer from well
behind the three-point line.
After Abby Siefker snuck
inside for a basket to break
the tie, that would be as close
as the Wildcats would be the
remainder of the night. After
Siefker returned the lead to
Ottoville, she hit 3-of-4 free
throws later in the quarter
pushing the Big Green lead
out to five. Baskets by Tonya
Kaufman and Kramer ended
the third quarter scoring as
Ottoville had a 32-23 lead
going to the final quarter.
We just started making
some shots, Ottoville coach
Dave Kleman said. If we
could have made some shots
earlier in the game we real-
ly could have spread it out.
Thats the tournament, its
about survival. You just have
to do the best you can and
hope its enough. I thought the
free throw line was big for
us. They were putting a lot of
pressure on us and we were
getting foul calls and hitting
the free throws. If you dont
hit the free throws it will be a
long night.
Ottoville was 20-of-24 at
the line in the game, which
included a 6-of-8 perfor-
mance in the final quarter.
After not scoring over the
final four minutes of the third
quarter, Jefferson opened the
final eight minutes with a
basket by Megan Gilden. The
Big Green then put togeth-
er a 5-0 run as Kramer hit
a basket, Rachel Beining a
free throw and Bendele two
free throws that pushed the
Ottoville lead out to 37-25
with 5:26 left. Bendele
went to the free throw after
Jefferson senior Courtney
Lewis fouled her going for
a steal. Unfortunately for the
Wildcats, that was Lewis
fifth foul ending her high
school career.
Culp and Boggs hit
baskets for the Wildcats
around another two points
by Bendele. Ottoville then
started to work the clock and
when Jefferson decided to
foul the Big Green responded
by hitting 5-of-6 chances at
the line, all by Lauren Koch.
Siefker added a basket as
the Wildcat defense lost her
pursuing the ball and she laid
in an easy shot. The final
point for the Wildcats came
on a free throw by Rileigh
Stockwell.
Coach (Dave) Hoffman
and me are a lot a like, we
dont change a lot, Kleman
said. Jefferson always does
a great job with their pressure
with Boggs and Lewis at the
guards. We knew they were
going to put pressure on us
and we handled the ball good
enough to get it done.
Siefker and Bendele
led a balanced Ottoville
attack with 10 points each.
Rachel Turnwald, Koch
and Kramer all added seven
points. Ottoville had a 35-13
rebounding edge as Siefker
led the way on the boards.
Boggs led the Wildcats
with 10 points and Lewis had
eight.
Our young kids gave us
some good minutes, but we
just are not scorers there,
Jefferson coach David
Hoffman said. They have
a very nice team and Dave
does a excellent job with
them. To beat them we had
to play a top notch game
and we didnt. They didnt
shoot well but they handled
the ball well and held us at
bay and didnt give us a lot of
good shots. There were some
that didnt think we would be
back here after the seniors we
lost last year but this group of
girls worked hard this season
and gave us everything they
had.
Ottoville scored the first
eight points of the game
Thursday night as Koch and
Turnwald hit threes that
forced a Jefferson timeout.
After the timeout, Jefferson
outscored the Big Green
8-2 the rest of the quarter to
trail 10-8 after one quarter.
Ottoville took a 18-15 lead to
halftime as they scored just
hit just one basket in the sec-
ond quarter. They went 6-of-
6 at the line in the quarter
that helped them extend their
lead. The Big Green were
4-of-24 from the field in the
opening half as they missed
several shots within five feet
of the basket.
We were getting the shots
we wanted, we just werent
hitting them, Kleman said.
A lot of that had to do with
Jefferson as they were forc-
ing us to rush our shots with
the defense they play. It was
something we talked about at
halftime.

LIMA Spencervilles
dreams of pulling another
tournament upset Thursday
night for the most part ended
in the second quarter.
Despite not scoring in the
opening quarter, the Bearcats
didnt have reason to panic
as they were just down eight
points after eight minutes. But
after scoring their first points
to start the second quarter,
Kalida got their offense going.
The Wildcats used a 21-6 run
in the second quarter to lead
by 23 points at halftime on
their way to a 54-35 win in
the Division IV district semi-
finals at Lima Senior High
School.
The Wildcats (13-9)
advance to the district
finals Saturday night to face
Ottoville (22-0) at 7 p.m.
Both teams struggled
offensively the first quarter
as Kalida was looking to take
advantage of their height inside
with Brandi Merschman and
Haley McIntyre, as both play-
ers stand 5-10. However, the
Bearcat defense was denying
the Wildcats inside with a 2-3
zone that also was putting a
lot of pressure on their guards
outside as they worked the
ball around the perimeter.
Kalida took a 2-0 lead as
Alexis Wurth hit two free
throws. The Wildcats added
to that lead as Merschman
finally was able to get a good
look down low and score
before Wurth hit a three-
pointer making it a 7-0 game.
A free throw by Merschman
with just under two minutes
left in the quarter made it 8-0
and thats how the opening
stanza ended.
Abby Freewalt ended
the Beacats scoring drought
15 seconds into the second
quarter with a basket. Kalida
then went on a 17-0 run that
included three-pointers by
Julia Vandemark, Nicloe
Kaufman and Amy Smith as
the Wildcats were up 25-2.
Kaufman added four free
throws during the run and
Merschman added two bas-
kets.
We thought they would
play a 2-3 against us since
thats what they played
against us the first time,
Kalida coach Adam Huber
said. We struggled to score
the first time, but knew we
had a height advantage and
we wanted to get the ball
inside. We just had to fin-
ish some shots and once we
settled down after that initial
rush of being in the districts
and playing in a bigger gym,
we did some good things
offensively and defensively.
I always worry when we miss
shoots early that we may
doubt ourselves, and we have
had games like that, but I told
them they just needed to keep
shooting and they did.
Courtney Miller ended the
Wildcats run with a basket
as both teams scored four
points in the final minute.
The Wildcats final points of
the first half came as Summer
Holtkamp took an inbounds
pass, after two free throws by
Freewalt, and raced the length
of court to score and beat the
first half buzzer.
Down by 23 points at the
break, the Bearcats didnt go
away quietly in the second
half. Spencerville was trail-
ing 36-13 in the third quarter
when they went on a 7-0 run
to come within 16 points of
the Wildcats. A three-point
by Kaufman to end the third
quarter scoring gave Kalida a
39-20 lead.
Despite the Wildcats
hitting some key shots to
stop small Bearcat runs,
Spencerville continued to
battled as they pulled within
13 points at 41-28 on two
free throws by Schylar Miller
with 6:20 left. That would be
as close as the Bearcats would
get in the contest.
We came out flat,
Spencerville coach Katie
Krieg said. The things we
worked on all week suddenly
went out the window. We
didnt have any focus and we
couldnt make baskets. We
missed our first five shots and
we kind of freaked out and
said what do we do now. We
were not playing defense and
not rebounding. We were not
doing the things that helped us
beat St. Johns. They (Kalida)
played hard and were consis-
tent from the beginning. They
played a great game and we
couldnt keep up.
Mackenzie Miller led the
Bearcats with nine points.
Kaufman led the Wildcats
with 19 points.

NEW YORK Negotiators for
baseball players and owners are
working toward an agreement to
increase the postseason field to 10
teams this season. They had hoped
to reach a deal by Thursday, but both
sides said talks could continue if they
needed additional time to deal with
the details of adding a second wild-
card team in each league.
The sides spoke on condition of
anonymity to The Associated Press
because the talks have not been
public.
NEW YORK Ryan Brauns
lawyer criticized the lengthy state-
ment from the person who collected
the sluggers drug sample, saying the
NL MVP was properly vindicated.
Ryan Braun presented a winning
defense in the forum that counted,
attorney David Cornwell said in a
statement. The landmark decision
in Ryans favor was based on the
evidence and the plain meaning of
the words in baseballs joint drug pro-
gram. The collectors attempt to re-
litigate his conduct is inappropriate,
and his efforts will only be persuasive
to those who do not understand the
evidence or the rules.
JUPITER, Fla. The St. Louis
Cardinals and four-time Gold Glove
catcher Yadier Molina agreed to a
five-year, $75 million contract that
kicks in next season and will keep
him in St. Louis through the 2017
season.
The deal makes Molina, long
known for his premier defense
and with a much improved bat, the
second-highest paid catcher in the
majors.
PITTSBURGH Pirates pitcher
A.J. Burnett will have surgery Friday
to repair fractured right orbital bone.
The right-hander was injured
Wednesday at the teams spring train-
ing facilities in Bradenton, Fla., while
trying to bunt. The failed attempt car-
omed off his bat and into his face.
FORT MYERS, Fla. Jason
Varitek announced his retirement,
bringing an end to a beloved 15-year
career with the Boston Red Sox.
Varitek made the announcement
at the teams spring training facility
in Fort Myers, Fla. Many of his team-
mates, his parents, Red Sox owner-
ship and his wife and three daughters
all attended.
TAMPA, Fla. New York
Yankees managing general partner
Hal Steinbrenner wants to lower the
teams payroll to $189 million over the
next few years.
Under baseballs new labor con-
tract, the luxury tax threshold will be
at $189 million after the 2013 season.
By getting under the threshold, the
Yankees are eligible to get some of
their revenue-sharing money back.
CLEVELAND Outfielder Grady
Sizemore is expected to miss eight to
12 weeks after having a lower back
procedure in Miami.
The oft-injured Sizemore, who re-
signed with the Indians in the offsea-
son, required a micro discectomy that
was performed by Dr. Barth Green
of the University of Miami School of
Medicine.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
HARRISBURG, Pa.
Prosecutors say Jerry Sandusky
sexually abused boys ranging in age
from 8 to 17, eight of whom were
molested on the Penn State campus,
according to a document with new
details about the case.
The Pennsylvania attorney gen-
erals office said in the document that
crimes involving one of the 10 alleged
victims took place in Florida and
Texas, while another boy was abused
at his own school.
GOLF
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.
Davis Love III made a hole-in-one
and finished with two birdies to tie
the course record at PGA National
with a 6-under 64, making him the
10th player to post that number since
the Honda Classic moved here five
years ago.
Rory McIlroy opened with a 66
and Tiger Woods struggled to a 71.
PRO FOOTBALL
PHILADELPHIA The
Philadelphia Eagles placed the fran-
chise tag on wide receiver DeSean
Jackson, assuring the two-time Pro
Bowl wide receiver at least $9.4 mil-
lion next season if he signs the ten-
der.
MILWAUKEE The Green Bay
Packers sold more than 268,000
shares in their most recent stock
offering, raising $67 million dollars to
help fund stadium improvements.
The NFLs only publicly owned
team added more than 250,000 new
shareholders during the six-week
offering, raising the total to more than
360,000 part-owners of the team.
The shares werent cheap they
cost $250 each, plus handling fees of
$25 in the U.S. and $35 in Canada.
Theyre also essentially worthless.
SAN DIEGO Four-time Pro
Bowl guard Kris Dielman retired from
the San Diego Chargers, saying its
the right thing to do after he sustained
a concussion last season that led the
NFL to tell game officials to watch
closely for symptoms during games.
ST. PAUL, Minn. Gov. Mark
Dayton, political leaders and the
Minnesota Vikings unveiled a pro-
posal to build a $975 million stadium
for the team in downtown Minneapolis
and called for quick action on the
plan before the Legislature adjourns
this spring.
The plan would put the new
building nearly on top of the current
Metrodome site. It calls for $398
million from the state, $150 million
from the city and $427 million from
the Vikings for upfront construction
costs.
COVINGTON, Ky. Cincinnati
Bengals receiver Jerome Simpson
could receive a 60-day jail sentence
after pleading guilty to a drug-related
felony charge as part of an agree-
ment with prosecutors.
HIGH SCHOOLS
HOUSTON Organizers of a
Texas state basketball tournament
relented and agreed to reschedule a
semifinal game involving an Orthodox
Jewish school after parents filed a
lawsuit over the original game time,
which conflicted with the Sabbath.
PRO BASKETBALL
PORTLAND, Ore. Miami Heat
forward Chris Bosh is not with the team
because of a death in his family.
Bosh missed Miamis game
against the Portland Trail Blazers and
will miss the Friday night game at
Utah. It was not yet certain whether
he will miss Sundays game against
the Los Angeles Lakers.
OLYMPICS
Female boxers at the London
Olympics will be allowed to wear

AUTO RACING
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Penske
Racing will switch from Dodge to Ford
in NASCAR competition beginning in
2013, a move the team believes will
help Roger Penske finally win a Sprint
Cup championship.
Penske said his drivers will com-
pete with Ford Fusions in the Sprint
Cup Series, and Ford Mustangs in
the Nationwide Series.
SAO PAULO Rubens
Barrichello is bringing his Formula
One experience to IndyCar in 2012,
and agreeing to join KV Racing
Technology on a one-year contract.
He will make his IndyCar debut at the
season opener on March 25 in St.
Petersburg, Fla.
LENOIR, N.C. Former

Third party
harassment
illegal
Dear Annie: Our sons
first marriage ended in
divorce 10 years ago. From
that union, we have a won-
derful 13-year-old grandson.
Our ex-daughter-in-law,
June, remarried quickly,
and that marriage failed about
18 months ago. Apparently,
she used our
names as a credit
reference, because
weve been get-
ting calls from
several collection
agencies asking
for June by her
most recent mar-
ried name. After
the first call, I told
the agency I would
not give out her
phone number but
would have June
call them. I sent her a letter
with the pertinent informa-
tion. She phoned and said
I should tell these callers I
dont know her.
Lately, Ive responded to
these agencies by saying June
hasnt been in the family for
10 years and I dont know
how to reach her. Lying isnt
my normal operating pro-
cedure, but in this instance,
it seems the safest. I dont
know what type of retribu-
tion there would be for our
son, our grandson or us if
June thought we turned her
in. The calls are getting more
frequent, and were tired of
them. What do you suggest?
-- Ex-In-Laws
Dear In-Laws: There
are laws in place to prevent
harassment of third parties
by collection agencies. Keep
in mind, however, that if the
collection agencies have rea-
son to believe you are lying
to them about Junes loca-
tion, you might not have
much recourse in getting
them to stop. But please
report any problems you
have with a debt collector to
your state attorney generals
office and the Federal Trade
Commission (www.ftc.gov ).
Dear Annie: My husband
recently retired, but I still
work full time at an office.
My problem? My husband
does not feel he should have
to help me in any way with
the household chores. He
absolutely refuses.
I have asked him numer-
ous times to please put dinner
on before I get home from
work, but it falls on deaf
ears. I might add that hes
an excellent cook when he is
so inclined. A number of his
friends are also retired, and
they joke among themselves
about how domesticated they
have become around the
house, but my husband just
wont budge. I even mow
the lawn in the summer and
shovel the snow in winter.
I may as well be living on
my own. Im not getting any
younger and am simply too
tired to keep up with every-
thing along with my full-time
job. All I ask is that he take
over a couple of chores so I
can have a little downtime
on the weekends. Is this too
much to ask? Dont suggest a
housekeeper. He would never
allow it. Nor would
he ever go for coun-
seling. -- Tired
and Worn Out in
Canada
Dear Tired:
Might your hus-
band be depressed
since retiring? It
is not uncommon
and could explain
his lethargy and
intransigence. But
you should not be
exhausted because
he cannot or will not help out.
If you are earning enough
to hire housekeeping help,
we recommend you do so
whether he approves or not.
You also could minimize
your efforts around the house
so that you handle your own
laundry and meals and leave
him to cook and clean for
himself. Of course, he still
may not lift a finger, but at
least you wont be doing his
work as well as your own.
Dear Annie: I read the
letter from Heartbroken
Mother, whose daughter
thinks her family will be an
embarrassment at her upscale
wedding.
I chuckled because, recent-
ly, a friend was extremely
worried about her rough
and tumble blue-collar fam-
ily behaving properly at her
well-planned and expensive
wedding to a wonderful pro-
fessional man.
Well, liquor can even
the playing field. Her fam-
ily behaved perfectly. The
grooms upscale family,
however, nearly ruined the
event. -- Michigan

SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 2012
Your problem in the year ahead
might be an overwhelming supply of
opportunities rather than too few. If
you dont hone in on the ones that are
best for your interests, you might get
confused and waste everything.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- There are some days when
adjustments must be made if you hope
to get along harmoniously with your
mate, and this might be one of them.
Do what you have to do in order to
keep the peace.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Just because others are willing to do
things for you, dont carry matters
too far. If you knowingly cross the
line and take advantage of others
kindness, theyll drop you like a hot
potato.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Not being a very good people
reader could cause you all kinds of
complications, such as rewarding the
undeserving while ignoring pals who
have always been there for you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Be absolutely certain the objectives
you establish for yourself are ones
that you really want to achieve. You
are likely to succeed at accomplishing
feats of little worth.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Words mean something, so be careful
not to quote someone out of context
and thereby completely distort what
that person was trying to say. You could
do him or her a great disservice.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A
friendship could be put in jeopardy
if you place more emphasis on your
pals material worth rather than his or
her inner being. Money cant buy true
comradeship.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Others arent likely to tolerate it if you
try to impose your views or opinions
on them. Unfortunately, you might
not even realize it if and when you are
being unduly assertive.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
It behooves you not to make any
promises that you might not be able
to keep. For the sake of harmony in
a quality relationship, you would be
better off bowing out now rather then
reneging later.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Regardless of how well thought
out it may be, this might not be one
of your better days for taking a risky
financial gamble. Let things rest a bit
before going out on a limb and doing
something impulsive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Much to the dismay of your
family and friends, you sometimes
feel it necessary to champion an
unpopular cause. This might be one of
those days when youll do so again,
with similar results.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Someone who has crossed swords
with you several times might once
again engage you in some fencing.
Keep in mind that this persons temper
can be as short as yours.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Dont allow any kind of brashness
to take precedence over your common
sense. Your chances of coming out
ahead, especially in a financial matter,
are slim to none.

Towns hit by twisters
keep wary eyes on skies
By JIM SUHR
Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Ill. Kera Wise picked
through the fragments of her aunt and uncles
tornado-ruined home with a determined hustle
under clear skies that weather forecasters warned
soon might again turn dark and dangerous.
Wise figured she had little time to waste
Thursday as she stuffed photo albums and what
few other items she could retrieve into plastic
sacks, hell-bent on rounding up her aunts prized
trove of Elvis paraphernalia and Beanie Babies.
With daylight about to fade roughly the same
time she would be forced out by a curfew in
southern Illinois storm-savaged Harrisburg, she
knew another dose of nasty weather could ruin
whatever she couldnt salvage immediately.
Such was the scramble in devastated por-
tions of Harrisburg, the 9,000-resident town
sacked by a twister about 5 a.m. Wednesday
that killed six people, many of them in the
neighborhood where Wises aunt and uncle live.
The onslaught was part of a storm system that
raked the Midwest and South, killing 13 people
in four states.
Damaged communities tried to take advan-
tage of the brief break in the weather Thursday,
mindful of forecasts that severe storms were
expected to roll through the region again some-
time after midnight and linger into today.
An Oklahoma meteorologist had warned that
by today, both regions would again be right
in the bulls eye. But the National Weather
Services Jayson Wilson in Paducah, Ky., soft-
ened that dire outlook Thursday night, saying
the likelihood of southern Illinois seeing another
supercell the kind that spawns a twister
today is looking less and less.
While still cautioning people in the region to
remain vigilant, noting the unpredictability of
severe storms, if anything happens it will be an
isolated cell here and there.
It will be the luck of the draw as far as where
they develop, Wilson said. If theres a bulls
eye, its moved farther east, smack in the center
of Kentucky and dipping into the center portion
of Tennessee. Its a massive circle, but nowhere
in that circle is southern Illinois, which he said
probably will see thunderstorms.
But the threat there doesnt seem as prom-
ised, he said.
That outlook didnt matter much to Amanda
Patrick, who lost her home Wednesday in the
same twister that killed her beloved neighbors
across Brady Street, the neighborhood where
most of the fatalities occurred.
I dont know what to tell you other than I
take it one moment, one day at a time, Patrick,
31, said a day after riding out the storm in the
bathtub she barely was able to crawl into for
shelter before the twister hit.
She considers herself blessed, having thought
the sirens that wailed as the tornado barreled
down on her neighborhood was actually part of
her dream. She awakened just minutes before
the tornado hit and hours later couldnt stop sob-
bing over the neighbors she lost.
Im not crying as much now. Im here right
now, standing, she said Thursday. Now, I will
get up every time I hear a siren.
A couple blocks away, outside their four-
bedroom home where two large oak trees still
were atop the roof, Levi Fogle and Sarah Pearce
had a sense of resignation and perhaps apathy
about word that more storms were possible.
The National Weather Service listed
Wednesdays twister as an EF4, the second-
highest rating given to twisters based on dam-
age. Scientists said it was 200 yards wide with
winds up to 170 mph. To Pearce, it couldnt get
much worse.
What more could any more of this do to
my house? said 21-year-old Pearce, who along
with Fogle work at the local Walmart that has
been shuttered due to damage. The twister left
the couple and their three young daughters
unscathed.
Disaster junkies form backbone of US safety net
By JAY REEVES
Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
Taking a break from laying
sod in a tornado-torn neigh-
borhood, volunteer David
Elliott cocked his head to the
left. He was trying to remem-
ber all the trips hes made to
help rebuild after disasters.
Elliott went to New Orleans
seven times after Hurricane
Katrina swamped the city
in 2005, or was it eight? He
was in Nashville, Tenn., after
floodwaters inundated the city
in 2010. Hes been to Alabama
three times since tornadoes
killed about 250 people state-
wide in April. Wait: that was
just last year?
Ive lost track, said
Elliott, of Sacramento, Calif.
Rebuilding after storms is
becoming a growth industry as
the United States is slammed
by more natural disasters, and
leaders of the response efforts
say the nations recovery net-
work functions as well as it
does because of a backbone
of volunteers nicknamed
disaster junkies. The small
group of people like Elliott
travel from tragedy to tragedy
shoveling mud out of flooded
houses and rebuilding neigh-
borhoods laid waste by busted
levees, tornadoes and wild-
fires. Often, they bring more
helpers with them.
No one knows exactly
how many disaster junkies are
active in the United States,
but the National Voluntary
Organizations Active in
Disaster says a core group of
around 300 people travel the
country at least six months out
of each year performing such
work. Based in Arlington, Va.,
the nonprofit group estimates
several thousand more people
are like Elliott and make sev-
eral trips each year helping
out after disasters.
Often associated with
churches or other religious
groups and traveling at their
own expense, these volunteers
sleep in churches or mobile
homes and frequently eat food
provided by other volunteers.
While volunteers and oth-
ers provided labor worth some
$147 million and donated
another $200 million toward
relief aid in 2008, the last year
for which figures are avail-
able, some recovery projects
still cant get off the ground
because of the sheer num-
ber of disasters that struck
the country in recent months,
said James McGowan,
associate executive direc-
tor with National Voluntary
Organizations Active in
Disaster.
After all these disas-
ters across the country our
resources have really been
stretched, said McGowan,
whose organization includes
51 nonprofits. Weve been
struggling with it.
Thousands of people vol-
unteer regularly without
approaching junkie status.
The American Red Cross,
which is part of McGowans
organization, said 24,236 of
its volunteers helped out after
137 disasters in 46 states last
year, but most went to only
one or two sites.
Dan Burton, a Samaritans
Purse project manager who
has worked on disaster recov-
eries from Atlanta to Alaska,
said the junkies provide a
knowledge base and experi-
ence level that many less-
experienced volunteers lack.
Major disaster assistance work
would be much more difficult
without them, he said.
Theres an array of jobs
to do, and theyre just will-
ing to do whatever it is that
we have to do, said Burton,
overseeing the rebuilding of a
home that was destroyed by a
tornado in Alabama last year.
With the spring severe
weather season drawing near
and as severe storms this
week roughed up the country
music resort city of Branson,
Mo., and devastated a small
town in Kansas volun-
teers are still cleaning up and
rebuilding from 2011, when
the United States had a record
12 weather disasters that
caused at least $1 billion in
damage. Thats more major
disasters than occurred all
through the 1980s, according
to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration.
Coach praised after Ohio school shooting speaks
CHARDON (AP) An
assistant football coach cred-
ited with chasing a teenage
gunman from an Ohio school
said Thursday that he wanted
families of the three children
slain in a shooting spree to
know that he comforted the
teens as they lay dying after
the attack.
I want you to know I was
with them. I prayed with them.
I wiped their tears and I know
God was with them, an emo-
tional Frank Hall said during a
news conference shortly after
the 17-year-old suspect was
charged in the rampage.
Hall, who has been credited
by students, faculty and police
with chasing the gunman from
the school building and perhaps
saving more people, brushed
aside the accolades.
I dont know why this hap-
pened. I only wish I could have
done more. Im not a hero. Just
a football coach and a study hall
teacher, said Hall, a tall, barrel-
chested man with a boyish face
who paused to compose himself
at one point and read from notes
as he spoke near to the schools
football field.
The emergency respond-
ers at the scene were the real
heroes, said Hall, who left the
outdoor news conference with
a colleagues arm wrapped
around him.
T.J. Lane was charged
Thursday with killing three
students, the first step in pro-
ceedings that could see him
charged as an adult and facing
the possibility of life without
parole if convicted.
The charges filed in Geauga
County juvenile court accuse
Lane of killing three students
and wounding two others in
the shooting Monday morning
at Chardon High School, about
30 miles east of Cleveland.
He is charged with three
counts of aggravated murder,
two counts of attempted aggra-
vated murder and one count of
felonious assault.
No motive has been deter-
mined. Prosecutor David Joyce
has said that victims were select-
ed at random and that Lane is
someone whos not well.
Children convicted of juve-
nile crimes in Ohio are typi-
cally behind bars only until
they turn 21 in the most serious
cases. But Joyce has already
said he plans to charge Lane
as an adult, meaning he could
face life in prison without
parole if convicted of similar
adult charges.
