Some residents feel Dollar General a golden opportunity


BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE A number of residents attended the Ottoville Village Council meeting Monday night to voice their concerns regarding the possibility of a Dollar General Store being constructed across from the high school on US 224, as well as to learn first-hand the reason behind the Auglaize Street water lines freezing. A few residents spoke on the positive impact having a Dollar General Store would have on the community. Jerry Hohlbein said prior articles in the newspaper have reflected a negative point of view, something that is not a good reflection left on the town that we call home. There is always two sides to every story, Hohlbein said. Equal time could be given where citizens can express their positive views and desires before the administration [village council] makes the final decision. Hohlbein feels it [Dollar General Store] is a golden opportunity that seldom comes along to villages with a population of less than 1,000. He feels the new adventure could open the

Residents with frozen pipes still borrowing water


BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS A handful of Delphos residents are still without city water service to their homes, some since Jan. 30. Four of the families may not see their water restored until spring. Homes with frozen lines include: 632 E. Fifth St.; 703 E. Fifth St.; 705 E. Fifth St.; and 615 E. Fifth St., all of whom were hooked up with hoses from neighbors on Jan. 30; 527 Lima Avenue, hooked up with a hose on Feb. 13; 733 Suthoff and 727 Euclid St., hooked up with hoses on Jan. 14; and 505 Lima Avenue and 811 Clime St., hooked up with hoses on Feb. 18. Homes at 231 N. Bredeick and 615 W. Fourth St. have had regular water service restored. The city water lines from the main to the meter or valve have frozen. See FROZEN, page 11

Water hoses stretched from home to home are a day-to-day reality for some Delphos residents. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)

door for commercial growth which everyone will benefit from. In addition, Hohlbein feels closing the door on this opportunity could have a lasting negative impact on the community for generations. Owner of Subway Jim Rhodes said there are rumors that people who enter or shop at Dollar General are lowincome. I shop there, Rhodes said. Rhodes also addressed the potential safety concern for the students wanting to cross over US 224 and go to the Dollar General. The kids will be at the junior high level or older, he said. Kids should have been taught how to cross a road safely by that age. Rhodes said Dollar General is an expanding business. Why stop them from coming into this town? he asked. What will happen to this town and our future? Councilman Tony Langhals said the location is the issue. There are a fair amount of people in favor, Langhals said. I hate to get aggressive at this time. SEE DOLLAR, page 11

Forecast
Partly cloudy today with flurries this morning. Very cold tonight and mostly clear with a chance of snow. Highs 10 to 15 and lows 5 to 10. Wind chills -5 to -15. See page 2.

Kevin Heitz, a recent recipient of $2,500 through the Americas Farmers: Grow Communities program that assists farmers with donations to their favorite community non-profit organizations, used his gift to make the final payment on the Landeck Community Committee Playground Project. The playground equipment replaced some that had been 70 years old and erected when Heitzs father was in the first grade. The $45,000 endeavor was also made possible through fundraisers and donations from the Landeck and Delphos communities. Above are children who attend Landeck Elementary and helped with the playground project, along with their families, to provide labor. Families include: the Rodes, Rostorfers, Kroegers, Baymans, Gallmeiers, Meullers, Kills, Grothauses, Millers and Knebels.

Elida faced with 20-percent water rate increase


BY CYNTHIA YAHNA Herald Correspondent news@delphosherald.com ELIDA Mayor Kim Hardy brought a discussion on a village water rate increase to the floor at the village council meeting Tuesday. Last year, Janet Bonifas, the village fiscal officer, reported the water rates may get higher. For whatever reason, the city of Lima Public Utilities has been notorious for not letting us know of water rates. As of January 1, 2014, there is a 20-percent increase and that is something we cannot absorb, Hardy said. I spoke with the utilities department and the reason for the increase is due to charcoal filtration, the cost to run it, filters and the cost of the new reservoir. The cost to run the filters is approximately $10,000 per month and a total of $800,000 for the year. We will be discussing this further in another meeting. In other business, Hardy said he would like to see a newsletter out for the month of May. If anyone has anything they want to submit for the newsletter, please give the information to myself or Allison, our secretary, by the end of March, he added. Village Administrator Scott Fessler explained there were two ordinances in effect concerning snow removal. One is for sidewalks and in that ordinance, residents need to make sure the sidewalks are free of snow and ice. No amount of time frame was stated, Fessler said. I talked to Mark Miller, the safety director for Elida Schools, to see if there were any complaints about the sidewalks and he was not aware of any complaints. Since there is no apparent need about students walking to school and if we pursue it, this may place an undue hardship for the elderly to get their sidewalks cleaned, Hardy said. The second ordinance was the snow removal on the streets and it states that within four hours of two or more inches of snow, no driver shall park on the paved street. The police could have the car impounded if it has not been moved within that time frame. Whoever violates this ordinance will be guilty of a minor misdemeanor. Fessler reported the village web-

site has been fixed and is up and running. I received a note today from one of our residents who lives on Main Street and wants to know the status of when the trees are going to get replaced, he added. Hardy said the tree commission will meet and address that issue. The Police Chief Dale Metzger reported the monthly activity for February was 353 calls for police service. I also met with the school administrators so that we can set up a system to further communicate with the school, Metzger said. If they have any issues and to take care of any problems that may arise. The next scheduled meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. March 11.

Snowplows involved in 80 crashes this winter


COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio snowplows have been involved in 80 crashes so far this winter, with other drivers causing most of them, state transportation officials say. Plow crashes are up from the past two winters, but the total so far is still less than the 2010-11 seasons when plows drove fewer miles but were involved in 108 wrecks, the Ohio Department of Transportation said. Transportation department spokesman Steve Faulkner told The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1hOhgE4 ) that of the 80 crashes this winter, 58 were the fault of the other drivers. The agency started using green flashing lights in addition to yellow beacons two years ago to make its plows more visible. A public-awareness campaign is aimed at alerting drivers to the dangers of driving too close to the trucks. We do everything we can to minimize (crashes), Faulkner said. But any time you get 1,600 snowplows on Ohios highways with some of the most dangerous wintry conditions, there are going to be times when a vehicle may come into contact with another vehicle. None of the states snowplows has been involved in a fatal crash this season. Plow crashes have been reported from Colorado to New York, including one that killed a pregnant woman whose baby was born by cesarean section in New York City. With heavy snowfall starting in early December, stateowned plows have been driven about 11.9 million miles this winter, compared with 9.2 million miles all of last winter. The state is testing cameras on the outside of six plows to give plow drivers more information about whats going on nearby. The cameras are positioned on the side or back of the plows.

BRIEFS

Elections chief sets 2014 voting hours, days


COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio voters will get two Saturdays but no Sundays or evenings to cast early, in-person ballots during the statewide election this fall under a schedule set Tuesday by the states elections chief. Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, said his directive for voting times reflects a proposal from the bipartisan Ohio Association of Election Officials. He has pressed state lawmakers for the past three years to put the hours and days for early voting into law, but the GOPcontrolled Legislature has not adopted any plan. I have watched as numerous election laws have passed the General Assembly and yet the bipartisan plan I have advocated for has neither been introduced nor adopted, Husted said in a statement. Residents of the swing state can cast an absentee ballot by mail or in person without giving any reason. Lacking legislation establishing early voting times, Husted said he used the blueprint hours from the Republicans and Democrats who run local elections in Ohios 88 counties. For the general election, local boards would not be open for in-person, early voting after 5 p.m. on weekdays and would be closed on Sundays a change from previous years. Husteds directive drew criticism from the Democratic candidate who is vying for his job this November, state Sen. Nina Turner of

Trustees set date to look at road program


Information submitted MARION TOWNSHIP The Marion Township Trustees held their meeting Monday with Jerry Gilden, Joseph Youngpeter and Howard Violet present. 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 22 checks totaling $8,046.18. Road Foreman Elwer gave the trustees the dates available to look at the township roads for the 2014 road program. The trustees decided on March 3, with an alternate date of March 5, both in the morning. He also advised that the Sign and Road Inventories for February are done. Fiscal Officer Kimmet read the letter for the Zoning Appeals Board regarding the property on 3909 N. Kemp Road, which they moved to approve. Police Chief Vermillion received an email from the Village of Magnolia Police Department looking for VHF vehicle repeaters, which the township has and no longer uses. The trustees told Vermillion to do as he see fit regarding this matter. He also advised the trustees that the notebooks and township computer are using XP Windows and need to be updated. They told him to proceed with getting them updated. Gilden asked if any more has been heard on the demolition of the property on 8601 W. State Road. Fiscal Officer Kimmet reported that after he sent an email to Amy Odum regarding this, that he received an email from Don Corley stating it should be started in two-three weeks. There being no further business, a motion by Gilden to adjourn was seconded by Youngpeter.

Governor proposes new round of tax cuts

Cleveland. Turner said elections officials need flexibility to set times that work for their voters, not onesize-fits-all solutions. There is no justification for arbitrarily denying the vast majority of Ohio voters access to open polling places, Turner said in a statement. The 2012 presidential election cycle in Ohio was marked by several disputes over early voting rules, including a lawsuit brought by President Barack Obamas re-election campaign. Still, about 33 percent of the states voters cast an early ballot in the last presidential election, with the majority choosing to vote on Election Day. Close to 1.3 million Ohioans mailed or dropped off their ballots to local boards, while more than 600,500 residents voted early in person. Husteds office plans to mail absentee ballot application forms to all registered voters again this year, as they did for the 2012 contests. Voters can expect to see other changes to election rules this year. Republican Gov. John Kasich recently signed into law a bill to eliminate the so-called golden week, a period when residents can both register to vote and cast an early ballot. State lawmakers have been weighing other adjustments to Ohios election law, including a proposal that specifies when provisional ballots should be counted.

Ray Abou-Arab appeared in a Toledo court Tuesday morning to face charges that include aggravated murder and aggravated arson. He pleaded not guilty to all 13 counts. The 61-year-old AbouArab was arrested just days after the fire in late January that killed a veteran firefighter and a rookie. Abou-Arab is being held on a nearly $6 million bond. Court documents allege Abou-Arab was in a garage at the site of the fire near downtown Toledo just before an apartment resident said she saw the blaze break out. A judge on Tuesday issued a gag order for attorneys on both sides of the case.

MEDINA (AP) Ohio Gov. John Kasich used his annual State of the State speech Monday to pledge a new round of tax cuts, propose using casino money for a plan to boost ties between communities and schools and said state higher education funding will be tied to course completion and graduation. Kasich also pushed the importance of vocational training as an alternative route for some students, proposed giving veterans free academic credits for training and experience they received in the military, and promised a new fight against smoking in the state. In a dramatic moment, Kasich presented his annual courage awards to three women who survived a decade-long captivity in Cleveland after they were rescued in May when one of the women pushed her way through a door to freedom. The governor also used the 64-minute speech to indirectly ask Ohio voters to support him over likely Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald in November. Citing a spiritual mission to bring about a healing before he dies, he said being governor to all Ohioans is his life and mission. He likened his first term to a hike up a mountain. After youve struggled through the early obstacles you get out on more solid ground, and when you get out on that more solid ground you get the first glimpse of your goal the summit and you come together and it lifts your spirits, and you get that extra boost to keep going, he said. Kasichs tax plan would push Ohios inome-tax rate from 5.33 percent to below 5 percent for individuals and small businesses. When Ohioans have more money in their pockets, were being true to the fundamental idea that made our nation great, he said to applause. Government works for the people, not the other way around. Education was a key theme of the address, which took place at the Performing Arts Center in Medina. This marks the third consecutive year Kasich has taken the speech outside the Statehouse in Columbus. Kasich proposed directing $10 million in casino revenue to get communities more involved with schools and parents more involved in their childrens education, and said he wants to make it easier for returning veterans to get civilian jobs. If you can drive a truck from Kabul to Kandahar in Afghanistan, dont you think you should be able to drive a truck from Columbus to Cleveland? he said. Kasich will introduce a midterm budget bill soon that could be the vehicle for the policy priorities of the fourth and final year of his term. Our great purpose will continue to be helping every Ohioan have a chance to find a job that lets them fulfill their purpose, he said. House Education Chairman Gerald Stebelton said he liked the governors education proposals but said theyll need careful review. He said some proposals should be dealt with separately from a midterm budget bill. If each idea has merit, it will stand on its own merit, he said. www.edwardjones.com Stebelton, a Lancaster Republican, said tying higher education funding to graduation rates also raises concerns.

Peripheral Vascular Intervention
Peripheral arterial disease is generally associated with blockages of the large arteries of the legs, usually the result of a chronic buildup of hard fatty material, resulting in atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The blockage restricts the flow of blood which carries oxygen and nutrients to the limb. The femoral and popliteal arteries are the major arterial blood supply to the lower extremities and a common location for atherosclerotic disease. A femoral popliteal bypass operation creates a detour around this blocked portion of the artery. The surgeon removes a blood vessel, usually from the legs. The vein graft is attached above and below the blockage, rerouting blood through the graft to reach leg muscles. In some situations, a prosthetic graft (made of artificial material) may be used for the bypass, rather than a vein graft. Femoral bypass surgery is increasingly performed as minimally invasive surgery.

Now, Where Was That?


Retirement May Far Off, You Put Them In a Be Safe Place.

Karen couldnt stand to walk. Until vascular surgery got her back on her feet.
Every day, Karen faced a painful marathon: the 300-foot walk into work. Her primary care physician sent her to Lima Memorial Heart and Vascular Institute. Ultrasound showed that blood clots were blocking the artery from her heart to her leg. Her vascular surgeon decided to bypass the blockage, using a plastic artificial artery. Two days later, Karen was back on her feet and walking, knowing she had found the best heart and vascular care at Lima Memorial.

HAMILTON (AP) A judge has ordered a southwest Ohio village to stop using speeding cameras, saying they violate motorists rights to due process. Butler County Judge Michael Sage also granted a motion for class action status, meaning thousands of drivers could seek refunds from the village of New Miami. It was estimated during more than two hours of arguments Tuesday that more than $1 million has been collected from more than 10, 000 drivers The ruling will likely be appealed. The villages attorneys wanted the judge to reject the claims or wait until the Ohio Supreme Court rules on a lawsuit challenging Toledo cameras. The New Miami lawsuit was filed in the aftermath of a ruling against speed camera use in a village in neighboring Hamilton County.

Weather making it difficult for Loretta


BY LOVINA EICHER We are having thunder, lightning and rain right now. The temperature is just over the freezing mark so it turns the driveway into a sheet of ice. Its a challenge to walk on and for daughter Loretta so much more. She fell on her way out to the bus this morning. I hope she did not hurt herself. She is so ready to see the snow go away. It makes walking on it so difficult for her. She says she cant wait until it warms up and she can sit outside on her swing again. Our school closed on Tuesday because of the 56 inches of snow we received Monday evening. Last Friday and Monday, the children didnt have school either as it was their midwinter break. I was hoping they would cancel the midwinter break due to missing so many days already this year. The children ended up having a 5-day break. I hope they wont have to go to school longer at the end of the year. It is more difficult for the children to sit in school when it is so nice and warm outside. Its so much more difficult to concentrate when the days are sunny and warm. We would like to butcher hogs soon, probably one of the next Saturdays. We are running low on sausage. Im also using the last of our lard. We look forward to having pon hoss to eat after we butcher hogs (Editors Note: some know this dish as scrapple.) I dont think we will butcher a beef until one of the steers we are raising is big enough. I think the biggest one is around 600 pounds already. So it should be ready by this fall to butcher. I am always glad to get that job over with and its good to have more meat in the freezer. After thats over, we can get started on spring cleaning. We were cleaning out some cabinets and drawers this week already. With the warmer weather I hope we can give the windows a good cleaning. Today is laundry day again. We want to wash some coats since the weather is warmer and the extra coats arent needed yet. It sounds like we will have cold weather again by the weekend. Lots of ice fishing is being done on all the nearby lakes. Those bluegills taste so much fresher when taken from ice water. My husband Joe bought an ice fishing shanty at a garage sale this

Your mouth gets a lot of exercise every day. When you eat breakfast, chomp gum, and talk on the phone, you give the old jaw muscles a good workout. Maybe thats why the strongest muscle in a humans body is the one that connects the jawbone to the skull. Besides showing off its muscles, though, the mouth plays a more important role in tness and health. Its the front door for a lot of tness factors. Open it for an apple and youre ahead of the game. Use it to suck on a cigarette, though, and your body suffers. Drugs such as marijuana and alcohol can also get in the way of getting t. Besides ruining your health, drugs can mess up your whole life: People who use drugs have: lost friends. unked out of school. wrecked cars. committed suicide. made serious mistakes about sex. suffered brain damage. Drugs are never a good choice. To better exercise your right to choose, be choosy about the food you put in your mouth.

Putting too much junk food in your mouth is unhealthy, but its also unhealthy to not eat anything. People who become so concerned about their weight that they stop eating have an eating disorder called anorexia. Those who throw up what they eat suffer from bulimia. These disorders can cause serious health and appearance problems and should be treated by a doctor.

Not enough input

Make two posters. On one, draw a wide open mouth and ll it with newspaper words or pictures of things that should go in your mouth. On the other, draw a closed mouth and around it, attach words and pictures of unhealthy things.

Ottoville erases 16-point deficit, knocks off Lancers in overtime


BY JOHN PARENT DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT Trailing by 16 with less than a minute to play in the third period, things didnt look good for the Ottoville Big Green on Tuesday night. Lincolnview had possession of the ball and a 49-33 lead on the scoreboard in the Division IV boys sectional held at Van Wert High School. An opportune defensive stop for the Big Green wound up jump-starting a furious comeback that ended with a thrilling 70-66 overtime win for Ottoville. Im not real sure what all just happened here, joked Ottoville head coach Todd Turnwald after the win. What happened, was Brandt Landins driving layup that became a 3-point play with 55 seconds to play in the third. That effort put a halt to an 11-0 run by the Lancers, with all 11 coming from junior wing Justis Dowdy. Justis played a really good game, noted Lancer head coach Brett Hammons. He rebounded for us, he was aggressive, he found some open men in the first half, then we ran some plays for him, to get him shots in the second (half), and he executed for us. A Lancer turnover with under 10 seconds to play in the period proved costly as Ottovilles Tyler Roby score on a lob underneath as time expired in the period. Suddenly, an insurmountable deficit was much more in range, as the Big Green trailed by a 49-38 score headed to the fourth. Ottoville continued the comeback with a Kyle Bendele hoop and Landin drained a 3-pointer to make it a 10-0 Big Green run and a 49-43 scoreboard. Dowdy stemmed the tide with a baseline drive and layin,but the Lancers offense lost rhythm versus an attacking Ottoville trap. We were pulling out everything we could defensively, which, in our program, we dont do that, Turnwald said of his defensive changes made down the stretch. The press helped us. It got us back in the game and

Foes often end up as practice partners for State wrestling prep


By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS It was a virtual whos who of wrestling superstars at the St. Johns wrestling room this week. As the wrestling season reaches its pinnacle this weekend with the State Tournament at The Schott in Columbus, practice partners are getting scarce. The wrestling community is unique because we will practice with other high school programs simply because the season is over for the majority of our teams after sectionals, explained Blue Jay coach Derek Sterling. Our handful of remaining wrestlers need someone to practice with, so I start rounding up potential practice partners from other schools during the regular season. Then at the district tournament, I invite area state qualifiers to join us for practice. We all have the same mentality that if you help us, we can help you. Keith Buettner, Blue Jay assistant coach and father of state qualifier Wes, said I couldnt believe the caliber of talent that was in the wrestling room this week when I opened the door. Keith was a state qualifier as a senior in 1984 and his other son, Will, also qualified as a senior last year. Wes beat them both to the State Tournament, qualifying as a junior with a 41-8 record at 170 pounds. Wrestling talent that practiced at St. Johns included a pair of sophomore teammates from Division II Shawnee. Hunter Lucas is undefeated at 36-0 wrestling at 106 pounds and Dylan Heffner qualified for State at 182. Another sophomore that joined practice on Monday was the 113-pound Hunter Blaine from Elida, along with Austin Windle from Ada. Senior Tanner Vermule from Jefferson was invited to practice by Coach Sterling after he qualified as a state alternate. I talked to Tanner at Districts and later to Coach Wilson about practicing together for the benefit of everybody, added Sterling. Vermule wasnt the only Wildcat wrestler in the room as he was joined by State Champion brothers Stuart and Curtis Miller and 2013 qualifier Quinten Wessell. Lima Central Catholics Jack Huffman, who placed third at the Troy Districts in the 195-pound division, practiced with 2012 State qualifiers Logan Heiing (St. Johns) and Gavin Windau (Columbus Grove). Huffman is 41-6 on the year and likes to see the different styles of wrestling. The practice sessions are over for the year and wrestling competition begins at 3 p.m. Thursday on the campus of The Ohio State University and concludes on Saturday.

Its a battle out there between Ottoville senior Luke Schimmoeller and junior Tyler Roby and Lincolnview junior Justis Dowdy in the second game from Van Wert Tuesday night. (Delphos Herald/Randy Shellenbarger) we made some good plays. It got them maybe out of rhythm a little bit. Lincolnview lead 56-46 with 3:08 on the fourth-quarter clock but from that point forward missed six consecutive free throws, including the front ends of two 1-and-1s. It was an opportunity the Big Green didnt let slide. Roby knocked down a stepback three with a Lincolnview defender in his face, then Landin followed with a 3-pointer of his own. With 55 seconds to play, Ottoville still trailed by four at 56-52, but Landin had another big shot in him. Landins triple from the right wing brought the Big Green to within. After Lincolnviews Austin Leeth converted on one of two at the line, it was Roby who drew contact and tied the score at 59-59 with two clutch free throws with under 40 seconds to play. A Dowdy baseline drive gave Lincolnview the lead once more with 22 seconds to go but Roby was there to pull down an offensive rebound and put home the equalizer, sending the game into overtime. In the extra period, Lancer senior Connor McCleery scored on back-to-back possessions but the Big Green tied the game when Austin Honiford drew a foul while making his layup and took the lead when he converted the free throw with 1:16 to go in the game. It was Ottovilles first lead since late in the first quarter. While Lincolnview couldnt close the contest at the free throw line, Ottoville had no such issues. The Big Green used a 9-for-11 effort in the extra session to close out the victory. Were 72 percent as a team and thats something, in our program, that we really take pride in, added Turnwald. You hope, when youre in a situation like

that, that the kids are going to come through and tonight, they did. Lincolnview turned the ball over on each of its first two possessions but quickly settled in against the trademark matchup zone utilized by Ottoville. The Lancers got excellent ball movement and routinely found open shots in the first half. More often than not, the Lancers were knocking them down. Lancer senior Kyle Williams was on fire right throughout the game, drilling every shot he tried in the opening half. a pair of long-range jumpers, the second of which becoming a rare 4-point play when he was fouled as he made the triple, resulted in a 13-12 Lancer lead at the end of one. On the second quarter, Lincolnview got two more threes from Williams and two from Leeth but Roby kept the Big Green close with some long-distance artistry of his own. Ottoville trailed 32-29 at halftime. Ty Roby hit huge shots in the first half just to keep us in the game, Turnwald said. At halftime, I felt we were OK and I told him, you kept us in the game, man. The game seemed all but over in the third, when Dowdy knocked down a three, then scored on three consecutive drives to the bucket, creating the 16-point Lancer lead. I was proud of the way he played, Hammons said of Dowdys effort. He was able to make things happen on both ends of the floor. For Hammons, a loss like this one is hard to swallow, especially when it means the end of the careers of six seniors. Like I told our kids, Im proud of them. The effort we gave but when it comes to tournament time, we cant go 1-for-8 (from the line) with two minutes to go in regulation, Hammons added. Like I told our underclassmen, we have to learn from this and we have to get better if we dont want this same feeling again next year. See OTTOVILLE, page 7

Kalida boys start well in tournament opener


By Charlie Warnimont DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTAWA Kalida couldnt have asked for a better start to their Division IV sectional semifinal at OttawaGlandorf Tuesday night. After Pandora-Gilboa scored the opening points of the game, the Wildcats scored the next 13. That early run gave the Wildcats the breathing room they wanted on their way to a 55-39 win over the Rockets at the Robert J. Hermiller Gymnasium. The win sends the Wildcats (14-9) to the sectional finals Friday against top seeded Miller City (14-8) at 6:15 p.m. The Rockets saw their season end at 3-19. The Rockets drew first blood when Hunter Hovest banked in a short jumper. Kalida missed their first three shots of the game before Cole Miller grabbed an offensive rebound and scored. That started a 13-0 run, which included a 3-point play by Miller, five points from Devin Kortokrax, a Luke Langhals basket and a free throw by Randy Zeller. P-G went 2-of-9 from the field in the opening quarter as their other basket was scored by Seth Schmenk with 2:05 left in the quarter. Neither team scored after that as the Wildcats had a 9-point lead going to the second quarter. One of the keys you hope to have is a good start, Kalida veteran coach Dick Kortokrax said. I was very appreciative of the fact we forced them to use an early timeout with us up 13-2, then the rest of the night that was basically it. They (P-G) fought very hard, which we thought they would, and as a result it was our start that was the key to the game. While the Rockets offense started to click in the second quarter, the Wildcats were able to add to its first-quarter lead with a 17-10 scoring advantage. Schmenk opened the second-quarter scoring for P-G before Kortokrax scored four straight points for Kalida, two coming on a steal. Schmenk added two baskets to the P-G score but Zeller helped Kalida add to its lead, draining a pair of 3-pointers. After a Colin Fenstermaker bucket for P-G, Kortokrax drained two free throws and Zeller picked off a backside rebound and scored giving Kalida a 28-12 lead. Another basket by Schmenk and two free throws from Luke Langhals had the Wildcats up 16 points at the break. The Rockets were 7-of-28 from the floor in the opening half and didnt shoot a free throw, although they were trying to push the ball inside. Meanwhile, Kalida shot nine free throws in the opening half, making eight of them. We started in our zone and I think we lost our discipline in the zone. We let Zeller get loose a couple of times for two big threes and we let Kortokrax get open on the wings for threes, which were momentum-killers, P-G coach Logan Smith said. We struggle scoring, so to give up 30 points the first half was tough. The bad thing was we had eight or nine shots around the rim the first half that we couldnt convert. We did a little better the second half but we werent able to get to the line. The third quarter was a battle between Zeller for Kalida, while Schmenk and Fenstermaker combined for all 13 of the Rockets points. Zeller had nine of Kalidas 11 points in the quarter as he had a pair of putbacks and a 3-pointer. Schmenk had nine points for P-G in the quarter, that included a three, while Fenstermaker had four. Trent Gerding scored the Wildcats other two points as Kalida was up 41-27 after three periods. The fourth quarter saw the Rockets make a run behind the play of Schmenk. The senior had seven straight points for the Rockets, including a 3-pointer, that pulled

Associated Press MEN NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dorian Finney-Smith scored 19 points, and No. 1 Florida held off Vanderbilt 57-54 on Tuesday night to clinch at least a share of its second straight Southeastern Conference title and seventh overall. Patric Young added 12 points for the Gators (26-2, 15-0 SEC), who continued the best season in school history by winning their 20th straight game, and now they will have a chance to claim their third SEC title in four years all to themselves with a win against LSU on Saturday. The Commodores (15-12, 7-8) beat Florida 83-70 the last time the Gators came into Memorial Gym ranked No. 1, on Feb. 17, 2007. Coach Kevin Stallings only has seven healthy scholarship players right now, and they proved no match for Floridas smothering defense. Kyle Fuller missed a tying 3 in the final seconds and Dai-Jon Parker missed a putback attempt. Rod Odom scored 12 points and Parker added 11 as Vanderbilt outshot Florida 48.8 percent (20-of-41) to 40.4 percent (21-of-52). Fullers three-point play with 3:16 remaining made it 53-50. Finney-Smith hit a free throw, then Vanderbilt forced a shot clock violation. Fuller made two free throws with a minute left but Finney-Smith knocked down a 3 with 30.6 seconds to go for the clinching basket. No. 6 DUKE 66, VIRGINIA TECH 48 DURHAM, N.C. Rodney Hood scored 21 points to lead Duke. Rasheed Sulaimon added 15 points for the Blue Devils (23-6, 12-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who jumped to a 24-4 lead midway through the first half and never trailed though they struggled to land a game-finishing blow on the Hokies. The last-place Hokies (9-18, 2-13) had a strong start to the second half and got within seven points but never seriously threatened what would have been an improbable comeback in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils finished the game shooting 39 percent, including 10-for-33 from 3-point range well below their ACC-leading 40.7 percent. The Blue Devils had completed a stretch of four games in eight days with Saturdays home win against then-No. 1 Syracuse, which came about 48 hours after the weather-delayed rivalry loss at North Carolina. Hood was 9-of-17 from the field to lead the Blue Devils, while Sulaimon knocked down four 3-pointers. Freshman Jabari Parker added a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds to go with three blocks. Freshman Trevor Thompson matched his season-high with 15 points to lead Virginia Tech. MINNESOTA 95, No. 20 IOWA 89 MINNEAPOLIS Austin Hollins scored a career-high 27 points on 8-for10 shooting and DeAndre Mathieu had 19 points and seven assists as Minnesota bounced back from a monthlong slump.

P-G within 45-36 with 4:13 left. Kortokrax ended a long Kalida scoring drought with a basket that Fenstermaker matched. Another Kortokrax basket and one by Cole Miller gave the Wildcats a 13-point lead before two free throws by Kortokrax and two by Adam Langhals iced the game for Kalida. We want an insideoutside game and at times we had trouble with that, coach Kortokrax said. Plus, they had one young man (Schmenk) that could score for them and help their cause. It was a question as to whether we could answer with some balance. We dont want one to score, we want three guys to score and its hard to find that third guy at times. Another thing I felt we were in control was the foul line and when you hold your opponent to four chances, you have a good chance to win because I felt we were getting there a lot more. Kortokrax had 20 points and five rebounds for Kalida, while Zeller had a doubledouble with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Miller had nine points and six rebounds. Luke Langhals also had six rebounds for Kalida. Schmenk led the Rockets and all scores with 26 points and he had 10 rebounds. See KALIDA, page 7

Associated Press ATLANTA Mike Dunleavy scored 22 points, Joakim Noah had 20 points and 12 rebounds and the Chicago Bulls held off the Atlanta Hawks 107-103 on Tuesday night. Carlos Boozer had 17 points and 11 rebounds for Chicago and Kirk Hinrich scored 14 points, including six free throws in the final 44 seconds. The Bulls have won six out of seven. Jeff Teague had 26 points but made two costly turnovers late in the game for the Hawks, who have lost nine out of 10. Shelvin Mack had 17 points. The Bulls led most of the second half but never pushed the advantage to double figures. With 43.2 seconds remaining, officials reviewed and confirmed a questionable foul called on DeMarre Carroll on Hinrichs 3-point attempt. Hinrich made the three free throws to give Chicago a 104-103 lead. PACERS 118, LAKERS 98 INDIANAPOLIS Paul George scored 12 of his 20 points in the third quarter, Evan Turner had 13 points in his Pacers debut and Indiana improved its league-leading record to 43-13.

Kent Bazemore finished with a career-high 23 points and Jodie Meeks added 15 for the Lakers (19-38), who have the worst record in the West. The loss also ended Los Angeles 3-game winning streak at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Lakers stayed closer than expected through the first 2 quarters and trailed just 59-58 early in the third. But George then scored 10 points in a decisive 14-5 spurt that gave Indiana an 80-68 lead with 2:58 to go in the period. George had seven rebounds and six assists despite spending the entire fourth quarter on the bench with most of Indianas starters. RAPTORS 99, CAVALIERS 93 CLEVELAND DeMar DeRozan scored 16 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter, and the Raptors won for the sixth time in seven games. DeRozan dunked on a baseline drive and added two free throws to give the Raptors a 94-91 lead with 1:23 remaining. The All-Star hit three more free throws in the final 27 seconds to put away the game. Kyrie Irving, who played 45 minutes and the

Cleveland has lost three straight after winning six in a row and fell 5 games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers again played without center Anderson Varejao (sore back) and guards Dion Waiters (hyperextended left knee) and C.J. Miles (sprained left ankle). WIZARDS 115, MAGIC 106 WASHINGTON John Wall scored 27 points and the Wizards survived their first game after Nenes latest injury. Trevor Ariza added 22 points and Marcin Gortat had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Wizards, who made 10-of-16 3-pointers and have won a season-high four in a row to move one game above .500. They also improved to 2-6 this season without Nene, who sprained the MCL in his left knee Sunday in a 96-83 win at Cleveland. Victor Oladipo scored 26 points for the Magic, who tied a single-season franchise record by losing their 16th consecutive road game. They remain without leading scorer Arron Afflalo, who missed his second game with a sprained right ankle.

Jennings survives in Division IV


By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com VAN WERT Sectional basketball is all about moving on. The Fort Jennings boys did just that Tuesday night in game 1 at the Division IV Van Wert Sectional, sliding past Lima Temple Christian 48-44 at The Cougars Den. It came down as is generally does in the playoff opener to the final period. The Musketeers (4-19) led 37-36 to start the fourth and scored first on a basket by junior Connor Wallenhorst (16 markers, 5 boards) at 6:57. The Pioneers Taylor Zwiebel (6 assists) hit the second-of-2 singles at 6:05 but Musketeer junior Austin Kehres (9 counters, 5 rebounds) put back his own miss to make it 41-37. The Pioneers (6-17) rallied and tied the score at 42 on a 3-ball by sophomore sharpshooter Keaton Good (23 markers on 7 triples) at 3:10. Sophomore Alex Berelsman stepped up big for the Orange and Black, driving for a pair of baskets (2:55 and 2:05) to put them up 46-42. Joey Hutchison (8 markers, 8 caroms) put the Pioneers within two on his basket at 1:11 and LTC called time. The Musketeers ran down the clock, taking one timeout and forcing the Pioneers to foul twice. Kehres was fouled at 19.3 ticks but missed the front end of the bonus. The Pioneers called time at 13.7 ticks and out of that, got the ball to Good; however, he fell trying to drive to the basket and Musketeer junior Mark Metzger (5 rebounds) got the steal and junior Nick Von Sossan (9 markers, 4 dimes) was fouled with 3.3 ticks showing. He hit both ends of the bonus to seal the deal. The second half was much more of an all five kids effort. We rebounded better on the defensive end and we talked a lot better, Musketeer first-year coach Keith Utendorf explained. If you are talking on defense, you arent playing defense. We switched into a 1-2-2 half-court trap and that got our juices going. We needed to do something to change it up for us and it worked both ways; it got us more into it and it bothered Temple. LTC coach Bruce Bowman gave credit where it was due. They just played better than we did overall. They made the halftime adjustment and it threw The Musketeers switched from a 2-2-1 press into that 1-2-2 3/4-court trap to start the third period and that did something to the Pioneer offense. It limited Goods open looks, only giving up one trey, and helped them stage a needed rally. LTC took its final lead 36-34 on a layin by Ethan Rex at 2:27 but Von Sossan drilled a 3-ball from the right wing at 1:45 to give the eventual victors a 37-36 margin heading into the fourth. Fort Jennings finished 6-of11 at the line (54.5%); secured 28 rebounds (9 offensive); and 12 fouls. The first half, we werent boxing out on the defensive end and we werent communicating very well. We were constantly reminding the kids we had to all box out and talk defensively, Utendorf added. Our half-court trap has been something we have played effectively most of the second half of the season. We only play three seniors and rotate in up to nine guys, so we have a lot of youngsters getting their first taste of varsity tournament action. I think the nerves bothered us early but we settled in. Lima Temple Christian ended up 4-of-7 at the stripe (57.1%); with 27 boards as Markus Howell added eight; and 13 fouls. We executed better offensively the first half and got some open looks. Tonight, they were from 3-ppoint range a lot, Bowman added. My kids played awfully hard but we just werent quite up to what Jennings did for 32 minutes. When our shots stopped falling, we werent good enough out of our matchup zone to compensate. Their trap turned us over and gave up a few too many easy shots. The Musketeers advance to take on second-seeded St. Johns in game 1 (6:15 p.m.) Friday back at Van Wert.

Unfortunately for our six seniors, they wont have an opportunity to go back but theyve left us in such a better spot than we were when they came in as freshmen. Im extremely proud of them. Unfortunately, we couldnt get it done tonight but we have to make strides and keep moving forward. Landin paced the Big Green attack with 27 points while Roby added 19 off the bench. Brandt, he just played a whale of a game. Ive never seen him play like that before. I mean, hes capable, but he just stepped up like an allOhio player and played a heck of a game, Turnwald noted. Ottoville will play for a sectional championship when the take on Delphos St. Johns on Friday night. Its disappointing that one of us had to lose. Thats a really good Lincolnview team and a great coaching staff, Turnwald finished.

In the early going, the Musketeers struggled sealing the Pioneers off the offensive boards, giving up four in the first period (13 for the game). Despite this, LTC could not take advantage as they only downed 2-of-13 shots (15-of-48 for the contest, 8-of-25 long range, for 31.3%). The Musketeers, meanwhile, netted 6-of-10 in the canto (19of-37 overall, 4-of-11 trifectas, for 51.4%). When Wallenhorst drained a 3 from the right corner with 50 ticks to go, they led 13-9. Good, who netted five points in the opener, got hot in the second against the Musketeer manto-man, draining four triples, all from the right corner. On the other end, Jennings went the first 4:09 of the stanza without scoring missing four shots and turning it over once (15 for the game versus 12 for their foe). When Good buried his fourth bomb at 43 ticks, LTC led 29-22.

Crestviews Helm, Best earn top NWC honors


BY JOHN PARENT DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT The Crestview Knights have enjoyed an incredible regular season, finishing a perfect 22-0 and capturing their 15th Northwest Conference championship. Senior wing Damian Helm was one of four Knights to earn all-conference accolades, as he was named the 2013-14 Northwest Conference Player of the Year at the annual selection meeting held on Monday in Delphos. Helm, who averaged 15.2 points per game along with 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists for the Knights, while shooting 57 percent from the field and 91 percent from the free throw line this year, received 117 of a possible 120 points in the voting. He was joined on the NWC first team by Columbus Groves Will Vorhees, Spencervilles Ben Bowers, Jeffersons Trey Smith and Lincolnviews Kyle Williams. Crestviews Jeremy Best was named NWC Coach of the Year. Its been great, our last four years. We have a great group of guys and a great group of coaches, Helm said. (Coach Best) keeps it energized and usually loose. He makes it a great environment for us to play in, he definitely knows our strengths and weaknesses. Hes the engine that keeps us running. Receiving second-team all-NWC honors were Spencervilles Zack Goecke, Jeffersons Ross Thompson and Kyle Kauser of Paulding. Crestview seniors Cam Etzler and Tyson Bolenbaugh were also second-team selections. The accolades for the Knights didnt stop there. Sophomore guard Connor Lautzenheiser received an honorable mention. Its a testament to our of guys hard work that we put in in the fall, in the summer, noted Helm. We had workouts every morning at like 7:30 and we had a ton of guys there. Its just great seeing all of that hard work pay off. As a team, were reaping the benefits, Helm added. Individual accolades are secondary, but we know its a great

reward fir the hard work weve been putting in. Lincolnviews Justis Dowdy received an honorable mention, as did Levi Kistler (Bluffton), Jace Darbyshire (Columbus Grove), Guy Harder (Paulding) and Matt Shuey (Allen East) were also honorable mentions. Adas Austin Dumbaugh and Brayden Sauter and Spencervilles Dakota Prichard and Mason Nourse rounded out the all-NWC honorable mentions. Despite the success of the regular season, Helm and his teammates have their eyes on a bigger prize. Right now, everybody across the board is 0-0, Helm added of tournament trail the Knights are about to embark upon. Its great to know that we were one of the best in the state but we know it means nothing, in reality. We got ourselves a conference championship but we know we have to win seven more (games) in order to get our ultimate goal, which is a state championship.

Fenstermaker chipped in with 10 points and four rebounds. Being down 16 at the half against a quality team that is fundamental and runs their sets and is going to get a good shot is tough to beat, Smith said. They were able to get a lot of easy stuff in transition. They did a good job of getting backside rebounds. Their post players are not great shooters but they know how to find the open spots to keep the ball alive. Seth is a very streaky shooter but he did a great job getting to the basket and he made some threes. I told our coaches if the ball is in his hands, make or miss, we were going with that. Colin did a great job getting into the lane and posting up harder the second half.

GM adds 842,000 vehicles Schnipke gets funeral to ignition switch recall


DETROIT (AP) General Motors on Tuesday doubled to 1.6 million the number of small cars it is recalling to fix faulty ignition switches linked to multiple fatal crashes. Just two weeks ago, GM announced the recall of more than 780,000 Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s. Its now adding 842,000 Saturn Ion compacts, Chevrolet HHR SUVs and Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky sports cars. The company was immediately lambasted by a wellknown safety advocate who says GM knew of the problem for years and waited too long to recall the cars even though people were killed because of the problem. GM says a heavy key ring or jarring from rough roads can cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position and shut off the engine and electrical power. That can knock out power-assisted brakes and steering and disable the front air bags. The problem has been linked to 31 crashes and 13 front-seat deaths. In the fatalities, the air bags did not inflate, but the engines did not shut off in all cases, GM said. It was unclear whether the ignition switches caused the crashes, or whether people died because the air bags didnt inflate. The vehicles being recalled include: Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years; Saturn Ion compacts from 2003 through 2007; and Chevrolet HHR SUVs and Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky sports cars from 2006 and 2007. Most of the cars were sold in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. According to a chronology of events that GM filed Monday with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company knew of the problem as early as 2004, and was told of at least one fatal crash in March of 2007. GM issued service bulletins in 2005 and 2006 telling dealers how to fix the problem with a key insert, and advising them to tell customers not to dangle too many items from their key chains. But the companys records showed that only 474 vehicle owners got the key inserts.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama on Tuesday announced the creation of two Pentagon-led institutes to boost advanced high-tech manufacturing, with the eventual goal of creating jobs that have been lost to global competition. As part of his year-old promise to expand public-private manufacturing partnerships across the country, Obama announced a new center in his hometown of Chicago, concentrating on high-tech digital manufacturing and design. The other new hub will be located in Canton, Mich., outside Detroit, and specialize in light metal manufacturing. If we want to attract more good manufacturing jobs to America, weve got to make sure were on the cutting edge of new manufacturing techniques and technologies, Obama said from the White House.

Obama announces new Midwest manufacturing hubs


Obama announced during his State of the Union address last year that he would spend $200 million to create the manufacturing hubs that bring together companies and universities for research and development of products. Obama said Tuesday that he could envision the creation of a sheet a metal as thin as paper and strong as steel that would be in demand by the military and private sector. Obama made the announcement from a dais in the East Room that also held a supporting frame for a fighter jet, a helicopter engine, a robotic arm used by the Navy for underwater explosive disposal and a 3D printer. Obama joked that it seemed like he was standing among all that cool stuff to announce the creation of Iron Man. This has been a secret project weve been working on for a while,

BUSINESS

Credit card bills pile up during illness


DEAR BRUCE: I was very ill in 2010 and got way behind on credit card bills. I tried paying the minimum amounts that were due, but without being able to work, I got way behind. I planned to go bankrupt, but it hasnt been sitting well with me. My husband passed away a few months ago, and I got a very small insurance payment. After the funeral and other expenses, I have about $9,000 left. All the credit card companies want to make offers of smaller amounts to settle. I own my house outright. I really dont want to go bankrupt. Do you think there is any way to get a loan from a bank or a line of credit using the house, and paying the settlement amounts of the credit cards? Will a bank refuse to go for that with my credit score being in bad shape? -P.R., via email DEAR P.R.: I certainly sympathize with your situation. Generally speaking, thats what bankruptcy is all about. Unhappily, you waited a little bit too long. Had you filed for bankruptcy while your husband was still alive, and before there was an insurance settlement, there is little question that the bankruptcy would have been approved. The fact that you have $9,000 left after settling the funeral and other expenses could present some problems. Regardless of the source of the funds, the strong likelihood is that the courts would want you to settle at least most of that money before bankruptcy was allowed. I understand you are reluctant to go bankrupt, and since the credit card companies are willing to make a deal, see what kind of offer you can get, maybe 10 percent to 15 percent on the dollar. It may be that you could settle the bills with the $9,000 and not have to consider bankruptcy. You didnt indicate how much debt you are in. In the event that the amount is substantially over the $9,000, you should really consider consulting a bankruptcy attorney, but the reality is you are going to give up most of the $9,000. DEAR BRUCE: You have said that one can get a 6 percent to 8 percent return on an investment. I would like to know how to do that since I have read and been told by a financial adviser that one can only rely on a 4 percent return for retirement. What strategy do you suggest to get your yield? -- M.B., via email DEAR M.B.: I have said consistently that I believe it is not unreasonable to expect a 6 percent to 8 percent annual income on my investments. I have been achieving that for many, many years. Not every year. I had losing years, as well. But over the long haul, the average has been 7 percent and in many years considerably higher. There is no secret, but its necessary to take a certain degree of risk. Overall, the stock market has consistently given me those types of returns by investing in conservative, dividend-paying companies. There are going to be years when all of the conservative investments in the world are not going to help. In the years 2008 to 2011, there were a lot of companies that lost value and others that failed to increase. But you will notice that if you kept all of your investments that went in the

he said with a chuckle. Not really The administration previously had a manufacturing hub pilot program in Youngstown, Ohio, and Obama announced the creation of another Energy Department-led hub in Raleigh, N.C., last month. He encouraged Congress to approve funding for even more to keep up with global competition. Im really excited about these four hubs. The only problem is Germany has 60 of them, Obama said. I dont want the next big job-creating discovery to come from Germany or China or Japan. I want it to be made here in America, Obama said. Obama said even without Congress, his administration would create four additional hubs this year, through a competition by the Department of Energy.

toilet during the 2008-2009 period, in most cases you will have recovered your investment with a substantial profit. The question is, are you prepared to take a certain degree of risk? If your instructions to your adviser are that you are absolutely riskadverse, then even 4 percent is a difficult number to achieve. In my view, conservative, strong American companies are here and will remain here. Properly invested, the type of return I suggested is not unreasonable. DEAR BRUCE: Our daughter went to school to be a veterinarian assistant. Her student loan rate was 3 percent. Three years later, her student loans increased to 6.5 percent and 7 percent. She now pays $200 per month, interest only, because its all she can afford. She says that she cannot even think about marriage and starting a family when she is in debt. She owes about $35,000. She is very frustrated, and so are we in watching her struggle. When the government took over these loans, the rate doubled. Is this how we take care of our young people and encourage schooling to get ahead? The only encouraging thing we have heard is that after 30 years, her unpaid balance would be forgiven. By that time, she will have paid $72,000. -- N.B., via email DEAR N.B.: I can understand and sympathize with your daughters situation. I have no notion as to how much money she had to borrow, as opposed to how much she wished to borrow rather than work, when she was in school, but the fact remains that she now owes about $35,000. That she cant even think about marriage is distressing, however I dont necessarily agree. As to the family, that is a different matter. Were she to get an extra job, over and above her regular job, at $5,000 a year, she could unload her debt in five years or so. With her skills, this shouldnt be difficult. There are many veterinary practices that work on weekends and pay substantial wages to folks who are willing to put in those weekend hours. She also might be able to find a lower interest rate. I am no expert in that regard, but I can certainly suggest that she talk to the finance people at her school. They may be able to help her. Lets face it, she got herself in this situation because she wanted to better herself and she has a $35,000 investment in herself. You didnt indicate how much she earns, but as a young person, if she puts in six or seven days a week, she should be able to dispose of that loan in a reasonable amount of time. The fact that many kids are doing it is testimony that it can be done. (Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams.com. Questions of general interest will be answered in future columns.

TOKYO (AP) The sudden disappearance of one of the largest bitcoin exchanges only adds to the mystery and mistrust surrounding the virtual currency, which was just beginning to gain legitimacy beyond the technology enthusiasts and adventurous investors who created it. Prominent bitcoin supporters said the apparent collapse of the Tokyo-based Mt. Gox exchange was an isolated case of mismanagement that will weed out bad actors. But the setback raised serious questions about bitcoins tenuous status and even more tenuous future. At least one supporter said the blow could be fatal to bitcoins quest for acceptance by the public. A coalition of virtual currency companies said Mt. Gox went under after secretly racking up catastrophic losses. The exchange had imposed a ban on withdrawals earlier this month. By Tuesday, its website returned only a blank page. The collapse followed the resignation Sunday of CEO Mark Karpeles from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, a group seeking wider use of the exotic currency. Mt. Goxs origins are rooted in fantasy instead of finance. The service originally specialized in trading colorful cards featuring mythical wizards and derives its name from a game. The initials stand for, Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange.

Dollar

(Continued from page 1)

Frozen

Langhals voted against John Schimmoellers request to tap into the forced water main across from the high school. Councilman Randy Altenburger feels Dollar General is a necessity. With all things considered Schimmoeller tapping in and annexing the property we should continue to pursue speed limit reduction, Altenburger said. I vote we continue to allow Schimmoeller to proceed. Council voted to allow Schimmoeller to tap in. Mayor Ron Miller said the tap-in is allowed and the village will draft a letter to propose the speed reduction 35 miles per hour on both sides from the edge of the bridge to the corporation limit. Miller Contracting representative Josh Clay and Brian Goubeaux of Choice One Engineering were on hand and spoke with council and discussed the frozen water lines on Auglaize Street. Last week, council held a special meeting to address the situation where Miller reported that the majority of the houses on the south side of the street were being affected. He said 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 backfilled 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. We need information. Is this going to be an ongoing situation or is it due to the

extreme weather conditions? Miller asked. We dont want to tear up the road and we want to fix the problem. Its the sixth coldest winter in the history of documenting the weather, Clay said. It could be freezing at the road, we dont know. Are service lines at specification depth? Altenburger asked. Why doesnt the east side of the street have the same problems? Some service lines went over the storm sewer and some run under, Clay said. We had to come up to meet the customers line from the houses. Clay said he did not know if the village would find out until they went through another winter. He emphasized that everybody involved in the decision-making processes used their best judgement. So far the village has spent $4,000 to repair three lines on Auglaize and another by the hardware store. Miller suggested an extension of the warranty, which would give the village close to an extra six months after the original warranty was up and give the village one more winter to be sure the system is OK. If you followed the plans, then well have to fix it [frozen lines], Miller said. We can work on an agreement if you [Clay] get more information on an extended warranty. Council approved the purchase of a new 500-gallon double-wall diesel tank at approximately $2,900 which will be located at the sewer plant to service the diesel generator, equipment and vehicles. Street Supervisor Barry Koester suggested pouring a concrete pad to place the tank on. Board of Public Affairs members Phil Hilvers and Dan Honigford reported the new water meter reader ordered in October is

in. Hilvers suggested Fiscal Officer Jeanne Wannemacher and Water and Sewage Treatment Plant Manager Steve Wittler and employee Chad Knippen take the training session on use of the meter. Fire Chief Dan Honigford reported that the fire department has been looking into remodeling the exterior of the fire station. He said they have an architect that will produce color renderings at $1,000 of a variety of facades and changes in the structure. We would be looking at changing windows and doors, Honigford said. Id like to start on it this summer. After a brief discussion, council recommended looking into the furnace and air conditioning before putting any money into remodeling the exterior. Koester requested funds for a trailer to use to keep the departments cold mix on, which would lead to less waste since it is kept on the floor of their building and expedite the street repair process. M&W is doing the metal work and welding the axle, Koester said. The rest we are doing in-house and it will cost close to $3,500. Council also discussed implementing sidewalks on State Route 66 west on Sunset Drive. They all agree not having sidewalks is a safety issue. Residents have the option of having it put in by their own contractor or we will have our contractor install it, Miller said. Their contractors will have to follow the same specifications. Residents will pay 70 percent of the cost and the village will pick up the remaining 30 percent. The next village meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on March 24.

Obama tells Pentagon to plan for Afghan pullout


WASHINGTON (AP) In a blunt warning to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, President Barack Obama threatened on Tuesday to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year if a crucial security pact isnt signed and he ordered the Pentagon to accelerate planning for just that scenario. At the same time, in a rare phone call with Karzai, Obama indicated he was willing to wait his mercurial counterpart out and sign a security agreement with a new Afghan president after April elections. That would allow the U.S. to keep as many as 10,000 troops in the country. The effort seemed aimed at marginalizing Karzais role in the high-stakes negotiations over the future of the lengthy American-led war. We will leave open the possibility of concluding a (security agreement) with Afghanistan later this year, the White House said in a statement following the call. However, the longer we go without a (deal), the more challenging it will be to plan and execute any U.S. mission. Obamas attempt to minimize Karzais importance to U.S. decision-making underscores how fractured the relationship between the two leaders has become. Tuesdays phone call was the first direct contact between Obama and Karzai since last June. The Afghan leader has deeply irritated Washington with anti-American rhetoric, as well as with his decision this month to release 65 prisoners over the objections of U.S. officials. The White House insists it wont keep any American troops in Afghanistan after December without a security agreement giving the military a legal basis for staying in the country. While the White House did not publicly set a deadline for finalizing the agreement before that time, officials said the size and scope of the any U.S. mission could shrink the longer Obama waits.

The frost line went deeper this year due to the extreme cold temperatures and the lines froze, Interim Safety Service Director Sherryl George said.The four customers on East Fifth Street with frozen lines may have to wait a while. We will have to bring in some heavy equipment and shut down the street to fix those. It will be tough to shut down one of the citys main thoroughfares. The Schoskers on Suthoff Street may not be happy about their frozen pipes but said the city has been very attentive. We had city workers here within a few hours of us losing our water, Carla Schosker said. They were here and inspected everything and had the water going but it refroze. We werent aware you needed to let the water run. Thats the only thing that could have helped us. The city could do a better job about getting the word out on that. Water Superintendent Tim Williams said all the homes do have water with the degree of use varying. Some have enough pressure to run the household and others only have enough to take care of the essentials, Williams said. Its been tough to get a schedule together to get these issues resolved because the city doesnt have the equipment to dig up the frozen ground and the people you call to help are busy because everyones having issues this winter. The city and the outside companies providing service need to be available at the same time. Furloughs and reduction of employees through attrition have left the city lacking manpower and hours to tackle all of this winters woes. City crews have dealt with the residential water problems, record snowfall and an unusually high number of water main breaks in the past six to eight weeks. According to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, garden hoses are very unsanitary because dirt, debris and insects can get into them and the hoses and fittings are made of materials that can leach harmful chemicals into the water. This includes lead and a variety of chemicals used in plastics. The plastics most hoses are made from are not approved for conveying drinking water. If people still insist on using hoses for water they intend to consume or bathe with, they need to first boil the water. Water from hoses is OK to use for flushing toilets. The city is providing bottled water for drinking and dental hygiene. Other information provided by the EPA included:

When below-freezing temperatures occur over a few days, water pipes and meters that are close to cold air may freeze. Property owners are responsible for protecting both water pipes and the water meter from damage. Residents can take steps to prevent water pipes and meters from freezing in order to continue to enjoy water service as well as avoiding unnecessary and expensive repairs. Preventing pipes and meters from freezing is much easier than trying to thaw them. Provide warmth to the water pipes: Eliminate cold drafts near water pipes. Tightly close doors and windows to the outside and eliminate drafts from crawl spaces. Fill cracks in walls and around windows. Turn off water to garden hose connections at an inside valve and drain the exposed piping before freezing temperatures set in. Open the door to the room where the pipes are located to allow warmth to circulate. Place a lighted bulb near water pipes. (Never use open flames.) Wrap pipes in insulation or heat tape. Open cabinet door below the sink to allow warm air to reach the pipes. Make frequent use of your water supply: Flowing water often breaks up ice below freezing. When outside temperatures remain below freezing, its less expensive to run your faucet regularly than for you to repair a frozen or burst pipe. What to do if pipes freeze? If no water comes from your faucets when you turn them on, most likely the pipes nearest a wall, door, window or along the floor are frozen: Start by opening a faucet near the frozen pipe to release any vapor from the melting ice and so that youll know when the water starts flowing again. Begin warming the pipes nearest the faucet and work toward the frozen section. Blow warm air on the pipe using a hair dryer. (Do not leave the dryer unattended or allow it to overheat.) Once water has begun to flow again, let a pencil-sized stream of water flow through the faucet until normal heating is restored to the area. Eliminate cold drafts and allow warm air to circulate around the pipes to prevent freezing again.

National drop in obese toddlers, study suggests


ATLANTA (AP) Toddler obesity shrank sharply in the past decade, a new study suggests. While promising, its not proof that the nation has turned a corner in the battle against childhood obesity, some experts say. The finding comes from a government study considered a gold-standard gauge of trends in the publics health. The researchers found that obesity among children ages 2 to 5 decreased to 8 percent, from 14 percent a decade ago. That would represent a 43 percent drop. But the only decline was seen in preschoolers, not in older children. And some experts note that even the improvement in toddlers wasnt a steady decline, and say its hard to know yet whether preschooler weight figures are permanently curving down or merely jumping around. It is enough of a decline to be optimistic, said Cynthia Ogden, one of the studys authors. Theres a glimmer of hope, said Ogden, an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report was published online Tuesday in the Journal of thecs American Medical Association. Health officials have long been hoping for more substantial evidence that theyve turned a corner in the fight against childhood obesity. Obesity is seen as one of the nations leading public health problems health officials call it a longstanding epidemic. A third of U.S. children and teens and more than two-thirds of adults are obese or overweight. Officials are particularly worried about the problem in young children. Preschoolers who are overweight or obese

are five times more likely than other children to be heavy as adults, which means greater risks of high cholesterol, high blood sugar, asthma and even mental health problems. After decades on the rise, childhood obesity rates recently have been flat. But a few places including New York City and Mississippi reported improvements in the last couple of years. Seattle joined that list last week, with a report of recently declining obesity in older school children in lowincome school districts. More broadly, health officials last year reported at least slight drops in obesity for lowincome preschoolers in 18 states. But they mainly were children enrolled in the federal Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, which provides food vouchers and other services. Experts attributed the improvement to WIC policy changes in 2009 that eliminated juice from infant food packages, provided less saturated fat, and made it easier to buy fruits and vegetables. The new study is a national survey of about 9,100 people including nearly 600 infants and toddlers in 2011-2012, in which participants were not only interviewed but weighed and measured. The results were compared to four similar surveys that stretched back to 2003. I think its fair to say that (this study) is probably the best source of data we have on whether the prevalence of obesity is increasing with time, said Dr. Robert C. Whitaker, a Temple University expert of childhood obesity. The main finding was that, overall, both adult and childhood obesity rates have held flat in the past decade. And there were no significant changes in most age groups.
