Concealed carry licenses issued doubles in 2012

From Staff and Wire Reports COLUMBUS - Van Wert County issued twice as many concealed carry licenses in 2012 as the previous year, according to the annual report from the Ohio Attorney General. According to the figures from the office of Mike DeWine, a total of 218 such licenses were issued in Van Wert County last year. That compares to 83 in 2011 and 117 in 2010. Across the state, 64,650 new licenses and 12,160 renewal licenses were issued by county sheriffs in Ohio, for a total of 78,810. The numbers for 2012 were a big increase over the previous year, when just over 54,000 were issued including 49,828 new concealed-carry licenses. The 2012 figures are the highest number of new licenses in a single year since licenses were first issued in 2004. The previous combined one-year high was more than 73,000 in 2009. As a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, I am pleased to see more Ohioans than ever before are exercising their rights under Ohios concealed carry law, DeWine said in a release. I look forward to continuing to work with Ohios county sheriffs to provide information to Ohioans on this laws usage. Specifically, 189 concealed carry licenses issued in Van Wert County were new licenses while another 29 were renewals. Two licenses were denied last year. The story is similar in surrounding counties with concealed carry licenses up sharply as fears of crackdowns on gun ownership continue to run rampant. In Allen County, another 657 concealed carry permits were issued compared to 374 the previous year, and in Mercer County the number of permits in 2012 were actually triple the number from 2011. In Paulding County, 114 licenses were issued in 2012 compared to 64 in 2011. In Putnam County, 133 concealed carry licenses were given last year compared to 74 in 2011. Statewide, 741 licenses were revoked nearly twice the previous high of 378 in 2009. Application denial hit a high-water mark also, with 889 persons turned down last year for a concealed carry license. Reasons for revoking licenses may include the license holder moving out of state or being convicted of certain types of crimes. The Attorney Generals Office compiles an annual report as required by law about the number of licenses issued each year. Each sheriff must report concealed handgun license statistics quarterly to the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission within the Ohio Attorney Generals Office. The attorney generals office does not comment on the possible reasons behind the jump in concealed-carry licenses, but supporters on both sides of the issue have their own ideas. Jim Irvine, chairman of the Buckeye Firearms Association, said that he expected to see an increase in the number of licenses issued. He talked with instructors who provide the firearms safety training required for licenses, and they have all had their classes sold out. Its all about personal safety, and people wanting to protect themselves and their families, he said. Irvine also said that he thinks guncontrol efforts by President Barack Obamas administration have influenced more people to apply for licenses. People think they need to get them now because they might not have the opportunity later, Irvine said. Hank Johnson, 70, of Springboro, in southwest Ohio, got his first license in November and says he is concerned about attacks on the Second Amendment that guarantees the right to own guns. Johnson, who has used guns for hunting and recreational purposes for years, said he hadnt previously carried a concealed handgun but wants to be able to protect my friends and family. Im not out to shoot somebody, but I am out to protect myself,

Johnson said. Those who oppose the concealed carry law also werent surprised by the increase, either. But Toby Hoover, executive director of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, noted that the numbers still represent a small percentage of all Ohioans. The pro-gun groups have been selling fear, trying to tell people that the government is trying to take their guns away, Hoover said. And when you sell fear to people, this is what happens. She said current efforts nationally to ban assault weapons and require better background checks are intended to reduce violence and wont take everyones guns away. But a lot of people are being told that. The coalition continues to oppose the concealed-carry law and believes more guns will just lead to more violence. Just because someone is a lawabiding good guy today, doesnt mean he will be one tomorrow, Hoover said.

Brandt: Parents should teach kids to use cell phones

BY LINDSAY MCCOY DHI Correspondent VAN WERT Van Wert 911 Coordinator Kim Brandt is urging parents to familiarize their children with their cell phones in case of emergency. The technology of cell phones has developed from standard flip phones with regular key buttons to glass screens with no buttons at all. Brandt offers classes to surrounding schools and businesses to educate young children on the importance of 911 and how to make this lifesaving call. I will go anywhere, to any class, said Brandt. There is no charge for this free service. Brandts class includes a 911 simulator which allows children to dial 911 and then think of a proper emergency in which they would need to dial this number. During this 30-60 minute class, Brandt prepares children for questions that a dispatcher would ask them upon dialing 911 and what to expect. Children will also learn what happens if they call this number as a prank, that officers will often respond to the residence in case of a real emergency. Brandt also brings an old rotary phone, a piece of tech-

Cancer program looking for leader

Club sets run/walk to help with girls medical bills

Information submitted OTTOVILLE Emma Wenzlick, daughter of Brian and Jill Wenzlick and sister of Hannah, is a young, cheerful 10-year-old girl who loves crafts and giggling with her friends. However, her life is currently very different from all of the rest of her fourthgrade classmates. In January 2010, Wenzlick developed severe neck and back pain. After multiple trips to Dayton Childrens and Columbus Nationwide Childrens Hospital, Rheumatologist Dr. Charles Spencer was able to find the source of her pain. She was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis in October 2010. Juvenile Dermatomoysitis is an autoimmune disease that

VAN WERT - The American Cancer Society is looking for someone to take charge of a program in Van Wert County for women going through cancer treatments. The Look Good Feel Better program is a free workshop designed to help a woman with cancer manage the changes in her body. You must be a licensed cosmetologist, somebody who is willing to sit down with women and help them as they go through the changes that take place due to cancer treatments, described Marybeth Torsell, health promotions coordinator. They would have to go through a two-hour Look Good Feel Better training. Its free, and it teaches you everything you need to know: All about the program and how to actually sit down and do it with the women that come to the program. And then every other year, they have to be

re-certified which is just through a conference call. Torsell suggested that anyone interested in the facilitator position can either contact her at (888) 227-6446, extension 5101, or stop by the next Look Good Feel Better workshop in Van Wert on March 11 at Van Wert Manor at 5 p.m. and check out the program in person. Aside from the help dealing with changes to skin, hair, eyelashes and eyebrows, the program also serves as a sort of support group. Its nice for women because they can actually sit down with other women who are going through they same thing, said Torsell. There might be a woman who has been just recently diagnosed or there might be someone who has just finished her last treatment. So there are all different stages represented, women in each stage of their journey, and its nice for them to all sit down and talk. Its a very healing program.

affects approximately 5,000 children in the United States. The primary symptoms of this disease are weak muscles and skin rash. Unfortunately, Wenzlicks weakness is so severe that she is only able to attend school two hours a day on a good week. Because she has an autoimmune disease, her immune system is very weak and she is more prone to developing infections. The medications that are given to help treat this disease are also immunosuppressive and this causes her to get sick more frequently and for longer periods of time than most children.

Day care: Grandma of boys found dead seemed fine

By PAT EATON-ROBB and MICHAEL MELIA The Associated Press NORTH STONINGTON, Conn. Debra Denison chatted with day care workers as they helped load her two grandsons into her van. It had been a day full of smiles and cupcakes for 2-yearold Alton Perry, who was celebrating his birthday, and nothing seemed amiss, said Nikki Salaun, the director of the Kidds & Co. day care. But instead of taking the children home as planned, Denison vanished Tuesday and left behind a suicide note. After a frantic search, she and her grandsons, 2-year-old Alton Perry and 6-month-old Ashton Perry, were found shot to death in an apparent murder-suicide. Weve all gone over it in our heads, Salaun said. Did she say something that we could have picked up on? But no, there was nothing alarming. Relatives said Denison had struggled with mental health problems, but family and friends were left struggling to understand what could have prompted the violence. She would go along and have seasons where everything was A-OK, and other times when she would be depressed, running to the doctor and getting prescriptions, said Marcia White, a paternal great-grandmother of the slain boys. She seemed to be doing well. The boys parents told WVIT-TV that Denison had split personalities and family members told WFSB-TV that she had bipolar disorder. The bodies of 47-year-old Denison and the boys were found in a car parked near Lake of Isles in Preston, in the southeastern corner of Connecticut, a town over from the boys day care center in North Stonington. Denison had been to the day care before and was on a list of people authorized to pick up the children. Denisons daughter, Brenda Perry, the boys mother, had worked at the center several years ago. She now works at a local school and her hus-

Weve all gone over it in our heads. Did she say something that we could have picked up on? But no, there was nothing alarming.

Nikki Salaun, the director of the Kidds & Co. day care band, Jeremy, was a landscaper, Salaun said. Salaun and day care center co-owner Christine Hare had attended Perrys baby showers and werent surprised when she enrolled her boys there in October. Those boys were her world, Saloun said. She coveted her family. Those boys were everything. Alton, with his piercing blue eyes, was always smiling behind his ever-present pacifier, Hare said. He was nicknamed the greeter at the day care because he always went to meet visitors at the door while other children hung back. Their mother had brought in mini-cupcakes for the toddler room to celebrate his birthday. She told staff that Denison would be picking up the children. Salaun and Hare said that they were aware Denison had some mental health issues in the past but that she was friendly and talkative Tuesday. Brenda obviously put her on the list thinking she would be OK, Hare said. We go with the parents. We cant override their wishes. Obviously, if she had come here obviously distraught, we would have intervened. After helping Denison to her van with the children, the staff discovered she had taken the wrong car seat. When they couldnt reach her by phone, they alerted Perry, who contacted police. The bodies were found at around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, about two hours after state police issued a statewide Amber Alert. As state police were search-

AKRON (AP) An appeals court has overturned a judges decision in a criminal case to ban a Florida man from Ohio for life, saying that Ohio law doesnt allow such a punishment. A three-judge panel of the 9th Ohio District Court of Appeals overturned the ban against George Mose, 48, who had pleaded guilty to attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend and attempted aggravated burglary. Mose had accepted the ban as part of the plea agreement. While we understand that Mr. Mose agreed to this sanction, the trial court was without authority to impose a punishment which is not authorized by statute, the court said in a Monday decision.

identify House passes $1.5 billion Ohio wontexotics facility animals in I hate to say it, Ohio Turnpike bond deal while were
COLUMBUS (AP) The Ohio House on Thursday approved Gov. John Kasichs proposal to raise about $1.5 billion for state highway projects through Ohio Turnpike bonds, despite concerns about where the money will be spent. Many northern Ohio lawmakers wanted guarantees that nearly all the money generated by bond sales would be used for road projects in the region near the turnpike, which cuts across northern Ohio. They also wanted the proposal to include Kasichs pledge to freeze toll rates for a decade for motorists making trips of 30 miles or less on the 241-mile toll road. But the bill, which passed by a vote of 58-36, included neither of those guarantees. The Kasich administration has said it will deliver on the promises, but placing precise spending targets in the law would limit flexibility. The issue now goes to the Senate, which has started hearings on the measure. Rep. Terry Boose, a Norwalk Republican, equated the plan to a punch in the face for his district, saying he was concerned the measure might keep businesses from relocating to the area. The cost of the turnpike is going to go up, he said, contending companies could go to Lima, where they dont have to pay for transportation. When Kasich rolled out his plan for the turnpike in December, he said northern Ohio road projects would get priority treatment with almost all the money being directed to projects north of U.S. 30. Many local government and business leaders who initially backed Kasichs plan made it clear they were supportive because they thought the money would go back to northern Ohio and the toll freeze would be in place for local travelers. Rep. Ross McGregor, a Springfield Republican, said Thursday that northern Ohios infrastructure needs still would be advanced further and faster under the proposal. He said the plan wasnt a silver bullet to the states infrastructure needs but provides a helpful boost to getting construction projects up and running. But Rep. Chris Redfern, a Democrat from Catawba Island, said using bond proceeds shifts the obligation to people who dont know theyre going to pay off the debt. Redfern, who also is Ohios Democratic Party chairman, said that if the state has an infrastructure need, we ought to have the courage of our convictions and stand up and say We will fund these investments, instead of shifting the obligation to those of us who live within myself, 15 miles of the turnpike who travel it too many times to count, and suggest to us that we should pay for that bridge in Zanesville. This is just bad public policy. Redfern didnt vote on the bill. By ANDREW WELSHHUGGINS The Associated Press REYNOLDSBURG The types of animals being held at Ohios new holding facility for exotic creatures wont be released to the public, mainly to deter anyone from trying to gain access to them, state Agriculture Director David Daniels said Thursday. The facility, in suburban Reynoldsburg east of Columbus, is ready to take animals confiscated under the states new ban on private ownership of exotic creatures, but for now is empty. Ohio instituted the ban following the 2011 release in Zanesville of dozens of wild animals, including 18 Bengal tigers, by their suicidal owner. The incident, in which police were forced to shoot and kill almost all the escaped animals as night fell in rural Ohio, underscored Ohios weak exotic animal regulations. Daniels said during a media tour of the building Thursday that police and emergency responders will be notified about the animals housed at the facility, but publicizing the types being kept there at any one time would be too difficult, Daniels said. I hate to say it, while were worried about an animal getting out, were also worried about people getting in, Daniels said. The facility is about the size of a large bard. At any one time, it will be able to hold no more than 30 large animals, such as bears or

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio drivers can now be ticketed for texting. For the past six months, officers could issue warnings those who werent complying with the statewide texting ban. That grace period ends today. Texting while driving is now a secondary offense for drivers 18 and older. That means an officer has to stop a driver for another offense first, such as speeding. But drivers who are minors are not allowed to text or use cellphones or other hand-held devices. For them its a primary offense. The law carries possible fines of $150 for the first offense. Repeat offenders could face a $300 fine. The law doesnt trump city ordinances on texting or cellphone use that might be tougher. All drivers can text and use their cellphones in cases of an emergency.

CLEVELAND (AP) The Ohio Department of Health has asked hospitals to stop using sexual assault evidence kits from a longtime provider because they could be contaminated with DNA from someone involved in assembling them. Hospitals have complained before about occasional problems with the kits, which have for years been assembled by a central Ohio company that employs developmentally disabled people, according to The Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland.

Ohio health officials say rape kits contaminated

lions, and 10 smaller animals, such as monkeys or snakes. The department will look for permanent housing for the animals in sanctuaries or possibly zoos. Reynoldsburg has typical subdivisions and neighborhoods, but the facility is held in a more rural area of the city. The mayor did not immediately return a message Thursday seeking comment. Daniels opened the facility to the media as part of a campaign to assure the public that the building is secure. Animals would be housed in locked enclosures. They would have to breach seven barriers to escape, including an outside fence with an electric wire. Only five people at the department will have access to the facility, and Daniels said he is not one of them. Motion sensitive cameras will photograph any movement in unauthorized areas and automatically email photos to department employees. State veterinarian Tony Forshey emphasized that the building is more along the lines of a humane society or animal rescue facility.

Those problems included missing evidence slides, improper biohazard stickers and the use of envelopes that were not self-sealing. Pickaway Diversified Industries, the company south of Columbus that assembles the kits, had been supplying the states hospitals since the early 1990s when officials decided standardized kits should be used to collect sexual assault evidence. At that time, the DNA tests were less advanced and werent likely to pick up small traces of touch DNA.

Cuts imminent, Senate rejects stopgap efforts

By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON Squabbling away the hours, the Senate swatted aside lastditch plans to block $85 billion in broad-based federal spending reductions Thursday as President Barack Obama and Republicans blamed each other for the latest outbreak of gridlock and the administration readied plans to put the cuts into effect. So entrenched were the two parties that the Senate chaplain, Barry Black, opened the days session with a prayer that beseeched a higher power to intervene. Rise up, O God, and save us from ourselves, he said of cuts due to take effect sometime today. The immediate impact of the reductions on the public was uncertain, and the administration pulled back on its earlier warnings of long lines developing quickly at airports and teacher layoffs affecting classrooms. On the Senate floor, a Republican proposal requiring Obama to propose alternative cuts that would cause less disruption in essential government services fell to overwhelming Democratic opposition, 62-38. Moments later, a Democratic alternative to spread the cuts over a decade and replace half with higher taxes on millionaires and corporations won a bare majority, 51-49, but that was well shy of the 60 needed to advance. Republicans opposed it without exception. In a written statement after the votes, Obama lambasted Republicans. They voted to let the entire burden of deficit reduction fall squarely on the middle class, he said. He noted that he would meet with congressional leaders from both parties at the White House today, but no one is expecting action before the cuts begin taking effect. Obama said, We can build on the over $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction weve already achieved, but doing so will require Republicans to compromise. Thats how our democracy works, and thats what the American people deserve. Said House Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Army GI says he leaked secrets to spark war debate

By BEN NUCKOLS The Associated Press FORT MEADE, Md. After almost three years in custody, the Army private accused in the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history said he did it because he wanted the public to know how the American military was fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with little regard for human life. Bradley Manning, 25, pleaded guilty Thursday at a military hearing at Fort Meade, Md., to 10 charges that could carry a maximum sentence of 20 years. Prosecutors plan to pursue 12 more charges against him at court-martial, including a charge of aiding the enemy that carries a potential life sentence. I began to become depressed at the situation we found ourselves mired in year after year. In attempting counterinsurgency operations, we became obsessed with capturing and killing human targets on lists, the former intelligence analyst in Baghdad told a military judge. He added: I wanted the public to know that not everyone living in Iraq were targets to be neutralized. It was the first time Manning directly admitted leaking the material to the antisecrecy website WikiLeaks and detailed the frustrations that led him to do it. The slightly built soldier from Crescent, Okla., read from a 35-page statement through his wire-rimmed glasses for more than an hour. He spoke quickly and evenly, showing little emotion even when he described how troubled he was by what he had seen. The judge, Col. Denise Lind, accepted his plea to 10 charges involving illegal possession or distribution of classified material. Manning was allowed to plead guilty under military regulations instead of federal espionage law, which knocked the potential sentence down from 92 years. He will not be sentenced until his court-martial on the other charges is over. Manning admitted sending hundreds of thousands of Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports, State Department diplomatic cables, other classified records and two battlefield video clips to WikiLeaks in 2009 and 2010. WikiLeaks posted some of the material, embarrassing the U.S. and its allies. He said he was disturbed by the conduct of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the way American troops treated the populace. He said he did not believe the release of the information he downloaded onto a thumb drive would harm the U.S. I believed that if the general public, especially the American public, had access to the information this could spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general, Manning said. Manning said he was appalled by 2007 combat video of an assault by a U.S. helicopter that killed 11 men, including a Reuters news photographer. The Pentagon concluded the troops mistook the camera equipment for weapons.

Obama urges justices to overturn gay marriage ban

By JULIE PACE and MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON The Obama administration wants the Supreme Court to overturn Californias gay marriage ban, outlining a broad legal argument that could ultimately be applied to other state prohibitions across the country. The administrations friend-of-the-court brief, filed Thursday evening, unequivocally calls on the justices to strike down Californias Proposition 8 ballot measure, although it stops short of the soaring rhetoric on marriage equality President Barack Obama expressed in his inaugural address in January. Still, it marks the first time a U.S. president has urged the high court to expand the right of gays and lesbians to wed. The brief is not legally binding, though the governments opinion could carry weight with the Supreme Court when it hears oral arguments on Proposition 8 in late March. California is one of eight states that give gay couples all the benefits of marriage through civil unions or domestic partnership but dont allow them to wed. The brief argues that in granting same-sex couples those rights, California has already acknowledged that gay relationships bear the same hallmarks as straight ones. They establish homes and lives together, support each other financially, share the joys and burdens of raising children, and provide care through illness and comfort at the moment of death, the administration wrote. The brief marks the presidents most expansive view of gay marriage and signals that he is moving away from his previous assertion that states should determine their own marriage laws. Obama, a former constitutional law professor, signed off on the administrations legal argument last week following lengthy discussions with Attorney General Eric Holder and Solicitor General Donald Verrilli. In a statement following the filing, Holder said the government seeks to vindicate the defining constitutional ideal of equal treatment under the law. Obamas position, if adopted by the court, would likely result in gay marriage becoming legal in the seven other states: Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and Rhode Island. In the longer term, the administration urges the justices to subject laws that discriminate on sexual orientation to more rigorous review than usual, as is the case for claims that laws discriminate on the basis of race, sex and other factors. The Supreme Court has never given gay Americans the special protection it has afforded women and minorities. If it endorses such an approach in the gay marriage cases, same-sex marriage bans around the country could

in Congress: Obama and Senate Democrats are demanding more tax hikes to fuel more stimulus spending. Though furloughs are a fear for some, especially certain federal workers, there is little sign of business worry, let alone panic in the nation. Stocks declined slightly for the day after trading near record highs. And unlike the fiscal cliff showdown of two months ago, there are no deadlines for action to prevent tax increases from hitting nearly every American. Still, there was talk of crisis. We have the opportunity to avoid the kind of calamity and disaster that is being threatened and is completely unnecessary, said Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who co-authored the Republican proposal. The question is, are we going to achieve these savings through badly designed spending cuts that make no attempt whatever to distinguish between more sensible government spending and less sensible spending? be imperiled. Despite the potentially wide-ranging implications of the administrations brief, it still falls short of what gay rights advocates and the attorneys who will argue against Proposition 8 had hoped for. Those parties had pressed the president to urge the Supreme Court to not only overturn Californias ban, but also declare all gay marriage bans unconstitutional. Still, marriage equality advocates publicly welcomed the presidents legal positioning. Obama again asserted a bold claim of full equality for gay Americans, this time in a legal brief, said Richard Socarides, an attorney and advocate. If its full weight and reasoning are accepted by the Supreme Court, all antigay marriage state constitutional amendments will fall, and quickly. The National Organization for Marriage, a leading supporter of the California ban, rejected Obamas arguments. Spokesman Thomas Peters said he expects the Supreme Court to uphold the votes of more than 7 million Californians to protect marriage, spokesman Thomas Peters said. The president raised expectations that he would back a broad brief during his inaugural address on Jan. 21. He said the nations journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law.

My good friend and colleague, the late Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota, was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2000. At the time, he explained that, Wrestling has always been a big thing for me. Ive had a love affair with the sport for most of my life. It helped me as a kid, I got in some trouble, then I found a sport I was good at, and that transferred to better things in other areas. Like Senator Wellstone, the same is true for more than Ohios 11,000 high school wrestlers and students at 17 Ohio universities with NCCA programs from Kent State University to the College of Mount Saint Joseph. Wrestling is accessible to athletes from all economic backgrounds and from all cultures, unlike some of the sports protected in the IOCs decision. And wrestling has a proud tradition in our state, in our country, and around the world. The IOC should not ratify this preliminary decision by its executive board. By retaining wrestling, the IOC will remain respectful of tradition and remain relevant for all athletes and communities around the world.

Crestview edges Kalida 53-47 in double OT

BY JIM COX DHI Correspondent LIMA Thursdays Division IV district semifinal was definitely not one for the faint of heart. In a double overtime game with many twists and turns, Crestview prevailed over Kalida 53-47. The Lady Knights (22-2) advance to Saturdays 7 p.m. district final against Ottoville, which took out Lincolnview 62-27 in Thursdays second game. Kalidas fine season ends at 15-9. In a game full of dramatics, the fourth quarter was probably the most heart-stopping. Kalida had ended the third period with a 5-0 run to take a 29-28 lead into what might have been, but wasnt, the last eight minutes. The Lady Wildcats extended that run to 7-0 with the first bucket of the fourth period, a mid-court steal and layup by Summer Holtkamp 31-28, Kalida, at 7:34. Crestviews Kennis Mercer sliced inside to cut the lead to 31-30, but the Cats Elizabeth Turnwald muscled in a layup, and Brittany Kahle picked off a pass and went the distance 35-30 at 6:13. Back came the Knights, of course. Terra Crowle swished a three-pointer from the right corner, and Mackenzie Riggenbach hit two free throws to tie it at 35 with 4:42 left. Kylie Osterhage escaped for an open layup to lead 37-35, but the Knights Emily Bauer bounced in a 10-footer to tie it again. Crowle was fouled on a threepoint try, but hit only the first of three to lead 38-37 with 1:49 left. Bauer hit two freebies at 0:44 to up the lead to three, but three straight Knight turnovers led to a 6-0 Wildcat run Amy Smith layup, steal/layup by Jackie Gardner, two free throws by Holtkamp and Kalida led 43-40 with five seconds left. Then came the play of the game. Riggenbach was fouled on a half-court heave, and went to the line with 1.9 seconds left, having to make all three shots to keep Crestview in it. The cool sophomore hit nothing but net on all three tries to send the game into its first overtime. Those were big, said Crestview coach Greg Rickard of Riggenbachs free throws. You cant get any more pressure a district semi, one point some seconds left, and she knocks down three free throws. Thats very impressive. Shes our best free throw shooter for the year, but thats a lot of pressure. I was a little nervous, but we had worked so hard that you cant blow it on missed free throws, said Riggenbach. I knew I had to make them for my teammates, and thats what I did. The first overtime was the trading of Crestview turnovers with Kalida missed shots. Bauer powered in a layup at 1:15 to lead 45-43, but Gardner nailed a pull-up jumper at 0:48 to tie it up. Motycka had a chance to win it with a shortbut-contested jumper with two ticks left, but her shot rolled off the rim. Osterhage got the first basket of the second overtime a jumper from top of the key at 2:55, but a minute and a half later, Motycka snared a defensive rebound and went the distance, finishing with a dandy crossover dribble and layup to tie it at 47. Kalida missed a front end at 0:56, whereupon Riggenbach came up big again, swishing a trifecta from the left corner 50-47, Knights, at 0:36. Kalida misfired, and Bauer was fouled on the rebound at 0:21. She hit the second of two to make it a two-possession game 51-47. When the Cats missed again, Motycka grabbed the rebound, and Riggenbach finished it off with two more free throws with two seconds left. The first quarter was a virtual standoff at 12-10, Crestview, but Bauer picked up her third foul at the 3:35 mark and didnt return until the start of the second half. Kalida controlled the second quarter, albeit almost totally from the foul line. The Cats won that quarter 10-5, with only one field goal, but with eight free throws in 14 attempts. Crestview went to the line only twice during those eight minutes and hit both. The maroon-and-gold led 20-17 at the break, after making only 11 of 19 free throw tries in the half, while the Lady Knights went to the stripe four times, hitting two. Kalida was also cold from the field 4 of 17 (24 percent), Crestview a tad better at 7 of 19 (37 percent). Gardners put-back started the third quarter with a 22-17 Kalida lead, but the Knights then seemed to seize control with a 10-0 run. Bauer powered inside for a layup, then added a nifty turnaround 10-foot jumper. Riggenbach rattled in a trey from out in front, and Crowle drained a triple from the right wing 27-22, Crestview, at 3:02. Back came the feisty Lady Cats with a 7-1 run Turnwald free throw, Brittany Kahle layup, Osterhage layup, Osterhage free throw and it was 29-28 after 24 minutes. Defensively, weve been playing our best basketball here the last few weeks, said Kalida coach Adam Huber. We did another great job tonight. Theyve got such skilled offensive players with Bauer, Mackenzie (Riggenbach), Motycka, Mercer it just goes on and on. If you lose them for a second, they usually make you pay. I just told the girls in the locker room they might not think so today, but theyve created some good memories. It was a great high school basketball game, and its a shame somebody had to lose. Good luck to Crestview. Theyre a great team. Rickard had nothing but praise for the Kalida defense. Theyre aggressive, theyre quick, theyre well coached, he said. They took away the inside. They werent gonna let us stand out there and shoot threes. Thats how theyve played all year. Theyre just very good defensively. In the end, it was the three-point shot that made the difference, Crestview making seven of them, Kalida only one. The Knights were slightly better from the field 39 percent (16 of 41) to 30 percent (16 of 53) and from the line 64 percent (14 of 22) to 56 percent (14 of 25). Crestview won big on the boards, 36-22, but Kalida was far better in the turnover department, 10-23. Bauer, Riggenbach, Crowle, Mercer, and Motycka accounted for all of the Knight scoring with 15, 15, 10, 8, and 5. Kalida had seven players in the scoring column, led by Osterhage and Gardner with 17 and 10.

Cougars almost pull off an upset

BY KEVIN WANNEMACHER DHI Correspondent seemed like our confidence level took off, Moonshower continued. Its a credit to the girls for the way they battled tonight. Last time we played them, we got into a hole and then it took off from there. Tonight, even though we got behind early, the girls kept playing hard and worked themselves back into it. A free throw by Lima Baths Taylor Dackin put the Wildkittens on top 10-9 before a trey by Haney put the Cougars on top for the first time at 12-10 with 1:12 left. Two charity tosses each by Emily Ruhe and Jenna Hollar gave Lima Bath a 14-12 advantage but the Cougars werent done. Haney connected on a trey with one second left in the half to give Van Wert a 15-14 lead at the intermission. For most of the third quarter, the two teams continued to play even. A basket by Alexis Dowdy knotted the game at 20-20 at the 3:04 mark of the period but Lima Bath responded. Ruhe scored the Wildkittens final seven points of the third quarter as Lima Bath opened a 28-22 advantage entering the final stanza. Outside of a bucket by Emilie Moonshower, the Cougars turned the ball over on their other three possessions in the final three minutes. Trailing 30-25 early in the fourth quarter, a pair of free throws each from Morrow and Dowdy trimmed the Cougar deficit to 32-29 at the 5:20 mark. Van Wert was still within three at 34-31 after a Hannah Hulbert basket with 2:33 remaining but the Cougars struggled from there.

PAULDING It wasnt the start Van Wert wanted. And it didnt end the way the Cougars wanted either. But for 32 minutes, the lady Cougars gave highly touted Lima Bath all it wanted before coming up just short in a 41-36 Wildkitten victory in Division II district semifinal action at Paulding High School last night. The lady Cougars were held scoreless in the opening stanza, missing all eight shots from the field and committing four turnovers in the quarter. Lima Bath, though, struggled as well. Van Werts defense limited the Wildkittens to 2 of 13 shooting in the period as well to go along with two turnovers. Our defensive effort was very good tonight, noted Cougar head coach Lance Moonshower. I thought we played extremely hard and we did a good job of continuing to battle despite our offensive struggles. One of two free throws by Lima Baths Cassie Best made it 9-0 Wildkittens before Van Wert found the scoreboard. A bucket by the Cougars Clair Butler, off of a Livia Butler assist, broke the scoreless streak with 5:22 left in the period. Van Wert then controlled the rest of the period. The Cougars added a trey by Erin Morrow before two foul shots each by Morrow and Cheyenne Handy tied the contest at 9-9 with 3:06 remaining in the half. We were able to get a bucket there and then it

The Herald 7

By The Associated Press CHICAGO Joakim Noah had 23 points, 21 rebounds and a career-high 11 blocks for his third career triple-double and the Chicago Bulls ended a two-game losing streak with a 93-82 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 12 rebounds while Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng had 15 and 12 points, respectively, as the Bulls completed a three-game regular season series sweep. Noah tied the Bulls record for blocks in a regulation game, previously set by Artis Gilmore in 1977. Jrue Holiday paced the Sixers with 22 points, and Spencer Hawes added 20 points and 15 rebounds. The loss was Philadelphias season-high seventh in a row. CLIPPERS 99, PACERS 91 INDIANAPOLIS Chris Paul scored 29 points, and Blake Griffin finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds to help Los Angeles hold off Indianas late charge.

NBA CAPSULES

The Clippers have won three straight and seven of their past eight. David West led the Pacers with 22 points, while All-Star Paul George had 20 points and five assists. Danny Granger finished with a season-high 12 points. But without the suspended Roy Hibbert, the Pacers barely resembled the team that had won five straight by an average margin of 23.8 points.
94 LAKERS 116, TIMBERWOLVES LOS ANGELES Kobe Bryant scored 33 points and Antawn Jamison added 17 in Los Angeles 21st consecutive victory over Minnesota. Bryant and Jodie Meeks each hit four of Los Angeles 16 3-pointers, and Meeks finished with 16 points. The Lakers (29-30) have won 12 of 17 and five of seven while moving within two games of Houston for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with their longest stretch of solid play in this tumultuous season. J.J. Barea scored 20 points and Luke Ridnour added 19 for the shorthanded Timberwolves, who have lost four straight and 20 of 24. Los Angeles mastery of Minnesota is the NBAs longest active winning streak in any matchup. Ricky Rubio had 13 points, 13 assists and eight rebounds, but Minnesota never threated to get its first win over the Lakers since March 6, 2007.

By The Associated Press ST. LOUIS Jonathan Toews scored twice, and Ray Emery and Corey Crawford combined on a shutout as the Chicago Blackhawks extended their NHL-record season-opening points streak to 20 games with a 3-0 win over the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night. Andrew Shaw also scored for Chicago, which was coming off a 6-0-1 homestand and improved to 9-0-2 on the road. The Blackhawks, who have won seven in a row overall, have earned 37 out of a possible 40 points this season with a 17-0-3 start. Chicago has a point in its last 26 regular-season games since a loss on March 25, 2012, to Nashville. Chicago, playing its first road game in 18 days, has won four in a row against St. Louis, which has lost three of four. Crawford was pulled with an upper-body injury after making six saves in the first period. Emery made 15 saves over the final two periods. BRUINS 2, SENATORS 1, OT BOSTON Patrice Bergerons goal at 3:39 of overtime, awarded after a replay review, lifted Boston over Ottawa. Nathan Horton also scored for the surging Bruins, who won their fourth straight and improved to 13-2-2. Tuukka Rask made 30 saves, including a pair of stellar stops in OT. Bergeron deflected a shot from the left circle that glanced off Ottawa goalie Robin Lehner and trickled across the goal line. The crowd roared, the light went on and horn sounded, but the referee behind the net waved it off. After a review, replays clearly showed the puck slid across the line when Lehner reached back and knocked it into the net before pulling it back out. Lehner finished with 44 saves. HURRICANES 4, PENGUINS 1 RALEIGH, N.C. Jiri Tlusty had two goals and an assist, and Carolina beat Pittsburgh in ex-Penguin Jordan Staals first game against his former team. Eric Staal had a goal and two assists, Alexander Semin added two assists and Jeff Skinner scored a goal in his first game back from a concussion. The Southeast Division co-leaders erased an early 1-0 deficit by scoring three goals in a span of 6 minutes, 14 seconds and won for just the second time in six games. Chris Kunitz scored for the Penguins, who entered leading the Atlantic Division but were held without a power-play goal for the first time since Feb. 2. RANGERS 4, LIGHTNING 1 NEW YORK Carl Hagelin and Derek Stepan scored in a one-sided first period, and the suddenly healthy New York Rangers snapped a four-game losing streak with a victory over Tampa Bay. Defenseman Marc Staal added just the eighth power-play goal of the season in the second period for New York, which ended an 0-3-1 skid in the second game of a four-game homestand and completed a three-game, season-series sweep of the Lightning. The Rangers were bolstered by the return of top forward Rick Nash, who missed four games, and defensemen Ryan McDonagh and Michael Del Zotto. New York moved one point ahead of Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Nash, who assisted on Staals goal, finished the scoring with 1:33 remaining off a feed from Brad Richards on a rush for his fourth goal. McDonagh had two assists. Tampa Bay, which fell out of a tie for the Southeast Division lead, lost for the fourth time in five games. RED WINGS 2, SHARKS 1, SO SAN JOSE, Calif. Damien Brunner scored the lone goal in a shootout and Jonas Gustavsson stopped all three shots in his first start of the season to lead Detroit past slumping San Jose. Patrick Eaves scored the equalizer midway through the third period and Gustavsson made 25 saves to get his first win since March 3, 2012, for Toronto against Montreal. Logan Couture scored the only goal for the Sharks, who lost 10 of 12 games in February and have just one regulation win in their past 14 games. Antti Niemi made 33 saves. MAPLE LEAFS 5, ISLANDERS 4, OT UNIONDALE, N.Y. Nazem Kadri had his first career hat trick and Dion Phaneuf scored at 1:11 of overtime to give Toronto a victory over the New York Islanders.

Phaneufs fourth goal of the season lifted Toronto to its third straight win and fourth in five games at New York. The Maple Leafs have six wins in their last nine games against the Islanders. James van Riemsdyk also scored for the Maple Leafs, who improved to 9-4 on the road. New York rallied on third-period goals by Andrew MacDonald and Kyle Okposo after Kadri finished his hat trick to put Toronto up 4-2 at the 14:12 mark of the second. AVALANCHE 5, FLAMES 4 DENVER Gabriel Landeskog had a goal and two assists, and Colorado scored three times in the third period to rally past Calgary. Matt Duchene and Paul Stastny each had a goal and an assist for Colorado, which improved to 6-2-1 at home. Ryan OByrne and David Jones scored early in the second period for the Avalanche to cut it to 3-2. The game had added intrigue when it was announced before the opening faceoff that the Flames had signed restricted free agent Ryan OReilly to an offer sheet. While Calgary was taking a 2-0 lead early in the first period, the Avalanche announced they had matched the offer and were keeping the 22-year-old forward. TSN in Canada reported the deal was for $10 million over two years, including a $2 million signing bonus. Jarome Iginla scored twice and Jay Bouwmeester and Mike Cammalleri each had a goal for the Flames. SABRES 4, PANTHERS 3, SO SUNRISE, Fla. Nathan Gerbe scored his first two goals of the season, Ryan Miller made 38 saves and Buffalo beat the struggling Florida Panthers in a shootout. Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville both scored in the tiebreaker for Buffalo. Jonathan Huberdeau and Peter Mueller missed their attempts for Florida. Tyler Ennis scored in regulation for the Sabres and Steve Ott had two assists. Buffalo has won two straight since losing four in a row and is 2-1 since Ron Rolston took over as interim coach when Lindy Ruff was fired. Brian Campbell, Marcel Goc and Drew Shore scored for the Panthers. Jose Theodore, who replaced Scott Clemmensen in goal with 3:14 left in the first period, stopped all 12 shots he faced. The Panthers have lost eight of their past 10 games. JETS 3, DEVILS 1 WINNIPEG, Manitoba Andrew Ladd scored 8 seconds into the game, tying a franchise record, and finished with two goals and an assist to lead Winnipeg over New Jersey. Blake Wheeler added an empty-net goal for the Jets, who have won three straight and five of six. Andrei Loktionov had the lone goal for the Devils, who have one win in their last six games after a fast start. Ladd, the Jets captain, added his 12th goal of the season to break a 1-all tie with 8 minutes remaining. WILD 4, COYOTES 3 GLENDALE, Ariz. Dany Heatley scored two goals and Minnesota used a rare offensive outburst to hold off Phoenix. Jason Zucker scored 1:35 into the game on Minnesotas first shot and Heatley added one late in the period on its third. Heatley scored again in the second and Jared Spurgeon added his first goal in more than a year to put the Wild up 4-1. The Coyotes rallied in the third period, getting a strange goal by Keith Yandle that caromed off the glass past goalie Niklas Backstrom and another score by Shane Doan with 59 seconds left. Phoenix couldnt score again, though, sending Minnesota to its fourth win in five games. Rostislav Klesla also scored for the Coyotes, but goalie Mike Smith allowed four goals on 19 shots before being replaced by Jason LaBarbera to start the third period. OILERS 5, STARS 1 DALLAS Ales Hemsky had a goal and two assists, Jeff Petry added a goal and an assist, and Devan Dubnyk made 33 saves to lead Edmonton over Dallas. The win snapped Edmontons sixgame losing streak against the Stars, including two meetings earlier this season. It was the Oilers first victory in Dallas (0-10-1) since Dec. 8, 2006.

8 The Herald

Friday, March 1, 2013

www.delphosherald.com

by Christopher Simon God is referred to by a variety of names in the Bible. His primary name in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament is Yahweh, which derives from the Hebrew word to be. The Tetragrammaton (meaning four letters in Greek) YHWH is both the name of God and a description of his primacy: I am who am, or I am that I am, which might be interpreted as he whose essence is to exist. Other names for God in the Old Testament such as Elohim (meaning God as authority), El Shaddai (the Almighty), and Adonai (Master) are actually titles rather than names, and function to highlight various aspects of Gods divine nature. In the Kabbalistic tradition of Jewish mysticism, God is considered to have 72 names (derived from 72 letters) and it was thought by some that God created the world by an intricate manipulation and arrangement of these 72 letters or primary names, almost as if the letters of the alphabet are atoms with divine creative power. This idea reverberates throughout the Bible in a variety of passages where it is suggested that Gods word brings things into being. We have lost this sense of the creative power of language.

The many names of God

People throw words around carelessly, even misusing the many names of God. So, perhaps we should always take care to honor with reverence the many names of God.
You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
Deuteronomy 5:11

It is said that the Duke of Wellington claimed that the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton. Whether he actually said this or not, the idea was that competition on the playing field prepared one for the field of battle, and more generally, the trials of life. The founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin, was motivated by an effort to make his French nation stronger and more disciplined through athletic contests. He would undoubtedly be impressed by the modern-day Olympians, whose strength, speed, and discipline are unsurpassed. But, many of us have missed out on the chance to live a sporting life and have become flabby couch potatoes whose interest in watching sports has made us less fit. There are many reasons why sport is important, from our physical and mental health to the development of a healthy competitive spirit. Perhaps sport even has the capacity to become the moral equivalent of war, whereby men and women can strive with each other on the playing field instead of the field of battle.

Why Sports Are Important

So, perhaps we should get out there and compete, even if we are only competing with ourselves.
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 1 Corinthians 9: 25

Sinus headaches are common during allergy season

DEAR DOCTOR K: I get terrible sinus headaches during allergy season. Antihistamines help, but not completely. What else can I try? DEAR READER: I see many patients during allergy season complaining of sinus headache pain. It occurs most often in the center of the face, the bridge of the nose and the cheeks. And its sometimes accompanied by nasal congestion and clear or opaque nasal discharge. The sinuses are air-filled spaces in the bones of your head. They lie above, between and beneath your eyes, flanking your nose. Both the nose and sinuses are lined with a thin membrane that swells and produces mucus in response to irritation. Normally, the mucus from the sinuses drains through small openings called ostia. Ostia connect the sinuses to the nasal passages. (Theres an illustration on my website, AskDoctorK. com.) Allergies or other conditions that cause the nose or sinus membranes to become swollen can narrow or completely block the ostia, resulting in a sinus headache. Treat an allergy-induced sinus headache with a combination of over-the-counter medications. First, as youve already been doing, take an antihistamine. This will block the action of histamine, a substance released during an allergic reaction. Histamine causes swelling of the lining of the sinuses and ostia and stimulates mucus production. Then take guaifenesin (Mucinex is e s p e c i a l l y effective), which thins the mucus so that it drains more easily. Another option is a decongestant. This will reduce swelling and open

up the nasal and sinus passages. Such medications, or a steam bath, will usually do the trick. If you have yellow or green sinus discharge, you might have developed a bacterial infection of the sinuses. Bacteria live throughout our nose and sinuses. Normally they get drained out of the sinuses with the sinus mucus. But if a sinus is plugged up, the bacteria can start to multiply inside the sinus. To treat a sinus infection, youll need an antibiotic and a decongestant, but no antihistamine. (Antihistamines dry out the mucus membranes and make drainage more difficult.) If a decongestant does not offer sufficient relief, ask your doctor about a steroid nasal spray. Several of my patients with chronic sinus problems have asked me a simple question: Why do we need sinuses, anyway? All they seem to do is cause trouble. Just as with our appendix, about which we can ask the same question, the answer is we dont know. There is a theory that sinuses in the skull add resonance to the sounds that more primitive animals make when they are mating or trying to scare off enemies. We just inherited them from the animals that preceded us on Earth. They certainly dont help us mate or scare off enemies. At least, I dont think so!

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 2013 Your possibilities for achieving success in the year ahead will be greatly enhanced through proper planning and the right colleagues. Before making any major moves, establish what you want, how to do it and with whom. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- One of your greatest assets is your ability to effectively communicate with others regarding difficult subjects. Youll be good at disseminating information and retaining it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Its good to be optimistic about a joint endeavor that youre considering, but keep your expectations reasonable and realistic. Dont get carried away by pie-in-the-sky prognostications. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You could badly need some information from others today, so it pays to be a good listener at all times. This is especially so when in the presence of someone who gets around. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When your intentions are in proportion to your abilities, success is likely to follow. Dont place demands on yourself that youre not experienced enough to fulfill. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Youll have what it takes to be a good organizer. Youll not only know what to do and how to do it effectively, but youll be smart enough to know which person should handle each task. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Small details could take on unusual significance, particularly when it comes to domestic matters. Be sure that each person involved in a project pays appropriate attention to every tiny part. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Keep in mind that friends warmly welcome company when a persons visit is brief. Remember this rule and follow it when putting in a personal appearance or even talking on the telephone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A small but significantly profitable development could open up, in conjunction with an ongoing matter. However, first you must recognize it and then be clever enough to carry it off. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be sure to devote some time to a recreational activity that you thoroughly enjoy. Getting away from everyday happenings will refresh your outlook and make you more industrious. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If youre hoping to gather some information about a matter thats none of your business but that youre curious about, itll pay to ask indirect questions. Subtlety will pay off. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Quality, not quantity, is what you should look for in your companions. Being with a comfortable, compatible pal will be more enjoyable than hanging out with a large group. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -If you need to make a choice between profit and accomplishment, youd be smart to choose the latter. Self-esteem has greater value than gold.

With no pope, Catholic Church leaderless for now

BY NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY The Catholic Church awoke today with no leader following Benedict XVIs resignation, in which he pledged obedience to his successor and described himself as simply a pilgrim starting the final pilgrimage of his life. Now begins a period known as the sede vacante or vacant see the transition between the end of one papacy and the start of another. During these few days no more than 20 a few key players take charge running the Holy See, guiding the College of Cardinals in their deliberations and organizing the conclave to elect Benedicts successor. With the 8 p.m. Thursday end of Benedicts papacy, every department head in the Vatican lost his job except for those whose offices are crucial for the smooth running of the transition period. Cardinals on Monday begin meetings to set the conclave date and discuss problems facing the church. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the camerlengo, or chamberlain, takes over the day-to-day running the Holy See as soon as the papacy ends. He places the seal on the popes study and bedroom and takes possession of the Apostolic Palace, safeguarding and administering the goods and temporal rights of the Holy See until a new pope is elected. On Thursday night, Bertone sealed the apartment, which will not be reopened until a new pope is elected. Benedict in 2007 gave the camerlengo job to Bertone, 78, a natural choice given Bertone is currently the Vatican No. 2 as secretary of state and runs the Vatican bureaucracy anyway. A priest of the Salesian order, Bertone was trained as a canon lawyer and taught in various Roman universities for several years before coming to work for the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger at the Vaticans doctrine office in 1995. Cardinal Angelo Sodano is the dean and senior member of the College of Cardinals, the so-called princes of the church whose main task is to elect a pope. In one of his first official acts as dean, Sodano today officially summons cardinals to Rome to participate in the conclave, a formality given that most are already here. The dean oversees the preconclave meetings of the College and also has duties inside the conclave itself, including asking the newly elected pontiff if he accepts the job. But Sodano is 85 and cannot vote, so some of those duties shift to the subdean. Burly and sociable, the Italian Sodano was Pope John Paul IIs longtime secretary of state. As dean he spoke on behalf of all the cardinals in giving a final farewell to Benedict on Thursday, thanking him for his selfless service. Monsignor Guido Marini, the master of liturgical ceremonies, runs the religious side of the conclave and the installation Mass for the new pope, all of them carefully choreographed rites and rituals. He is by the side of the dean when the newly elected pope is asked if he accepts the election. And as the main witness and notary, he draws up the formal document certifying that the new popes name and that he has accepted the job. Benedict appointed Marini to the job

Growing push to halt workplace bullying

In death, Facebook photos could fade away forever

BY LAUREN GAMBINO The Associated Press BEAVERTON, Ore. A grieving Oregon mother who battled Facebook for full access to her deceased sons account has been pushing for years for something that would prevent others from losing photos, messages and other memories as she did. Everybodys going to face this kind of a situation at some point in their lives, says Karen Williams, whose 22-year-old son died in a 2005 motorcycle accident. The Oregon Legislature responded and took up the cause recently with a proposal that would have made it easier for loved ones to access the digital assets of the deceased, only to be turned back by pressure from the tech industry, which argued that both a 1986 federal law and voluntary terms of service agreements prohibit companies from sharing a persons information even if such a request were included in a last will and testament. Lobbyists agree the Stored Communications Act is woefully out of date but say that until its changed, laws passed at the state level could be unconstitutional. Everybody wants to do the right thing, but the hard legal reality is the federal communications act, said Jim Hawley, a vice president at TechNet, an industry group that represents companies such as Google and Microsoft. Oregon lawmakers moved ahead anyway with a proposal that would have given digital assets everything from photos and messages stored online to intellectual property and banking information the same treatment as material property for estate purposes. I think its time for us to really look at what we can do now, said Democratic Sen. Floyd Prozanski after hearing Williams testify about her loss last month. Two weeks later, however, language in the bill that would have covered social media accounts, from Facebook to Flicker, was stripped as tech lobbyists said the federal law and company privacy policies trumped anything that the bill would have included. I recognize the emotional toll these types of decisions can have on a family whos lost a loved one, Prozanski said Thursday. But some of these issues may have to be addressed when we have more information than we currently have. Still, the problem persists and discussions on the issue are gaining momentum. As unlikely as such a case might be, even if a person willingly gives over login and password information to someone whom they authorize to access a given digital account, it would violate most terms of service agreements and both people could be charged with cybercrimes and face civil action from Internet companies under current law. Currently, five states have digital assets laws, which vary widely. This group includes Oklahoma, which passed a law two years ago allowing estate lawyers to access digital assets, even social

in 2007, replacing Monsignor Piero Marini who for two decades was Pope John Paul IIs right-hand man for all things liturgical. The shift was intentional. Under Guido Marini, papal Masses became far more reverent, with more Latin, Gregorian chant and the heavy silk-brocaded vestments of the preVatican II church. Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the protodeacon, is responsible for the announcement to the world that a pope has been elected: Habemus Papam! (We have a pope!) he shouts from the loggia overlooking St. Peters Square after the white smoke has snaked up from the Sistine Chapel chimney. He then introduces the new pope in Latin along with the name he has chosen. The French-born Tauran is a veteran Vatican diplomat who served in the Dominican Republic and Lebanon. He currently heads the Vaticans office for interreligious dialogue in other words the Vaticans primary point man for Catholic-Muslim relations. Benedict appointed him proto-deacon in 2011.

Police in Minn. town set up shop in schools

BY AMY FORLITI The Associated Press

WASHINGTON Margaret Fiester is no shrinking violet, but she says working for her former boss was a nightmare. One day I didnt do something right and she actually laid her hands on me and got up in my face and started yelling, Why did you do that? said Fiester, who worked as a legal assistant for an attorney. Fiester doesnt have to worry about those tirades anymore, but she hears lots of similar stories in her current role as operations manager at the Society for Human Resource Management, where she often fields questions about the growing issue of workplace bullying. On-the-job bullying can take many forms, from a supervisors verbal abuse and threats to cruel comments or relentless teasing by a co-worker. And it could become the next major battleground in employment law as a growing number of states consider legislation that would let workers sue for harassment that causes physical or emotional harm. Many companies already recognize workplace bullying as a problem that can sap morale, lead to increased employee turnover and even affect the bottom line. Half the employers in a 2011 survey by the management association reported incidents of bullying in their workplace, and about a fourth of human resource professionals themselves said they had been bullied. One reason the issue has attracted more attention in recent years is that parents who deal with school bullying realize it can happen in the workplace, too. Some employers have put into place anti-bullying policies, but advocacy groups want to go even further. They have been urging states to give legal rights to workers who do not already fit into a protected class based on race, gender or national origin. More than a dozen states including New York and Massachusetts have considered anti-bullying laws in the past year that would allow litigants to pursue lost wages, benefits and medical expenses and compel employers to prevent an abusive work environment.

Plight of the American bumblebee: Disappearing?

BY SETH BORENSTEIN The Associated Press WASHINGTON Its not just honey bees that are in trouble. The fuzzy American bumblebee seems to be disappearing in the Midwest. Two new studies in Thursdays journal Science conclude that wild bees, like the American bumblebee, are increasingly important in pollinating flowers and crops that provide us with food. And, at least in the Midwest, they seem to be dwindling in an alarming manner, possibly from disease and parasites. Wild bees are difficult to track so scientists have had a hard time knowing whats happening to them. But because of one man in a small town in Illinois in the 1890s, researchers now have a better clue. Naturalist Charles Robertson went out daily in a horsedrawn buggy and meticulously collected and categorized insects in Carlinville in southern Illinois. More than a century later, Laura Burkle of Montana State University went back to see what changed. Burkle and her colleagues reported that they could only find half the species of wild bees that Robertson found 54 of 109 types. Thats a significant decline. Its a scary decline, Burkle said Thursday. And whats most noticeable is the near absence of one particular species, the yellow-and-black American bumblebee. There are 4,000 species of wild bees in America and 49 of them are bumblebees. In the Midwest, the most common bee has been Bombus pensylvanicus, known as the American bumblebee. It only stings defensively, experts say. But in 447 hours of searching, Burkles team found only one American bumblebee, a queen. That fits with a study that University of Illinois entomologist Sydney Cameron did two years ago when she found a dramatic reduction in the number and range of the American bumblebee. It was the most dominant bumblebee in the Midwest, Cameron said, saying it now

media accounts. That measure did not face the opposition that has emerged in Oregon. There is some question if laws like the one we passed in Oklahoma, would stand up to a challenge by Facebook and Gmail saying their terms of service agreements supersede laws like this one and the one being discussed in Oregon, said Ryan Kiesel, a former Oklahoma legislator who wrote the law. Thats a question that remains to be answered, he added. Several other states, including Nebraska guided in part by the story of Williams 22-year-old son, Loren are also considering proposals. And the Uniform Law Commission, a non-profit, non-partisan group that writes model legislation for states to help standardize laws around the nation, is examining the issue. This law is a real need as we have moved into a digital world, said Lane Shetterly, an Oregon attorney and a representative on the commissions drafting committee. The group is responsible for standardizing a range of legislation, including commercial transaction regulations and child custody laws. Proponents say the need is clear. Without clarity or direction, the digital information left behind by a deceased person can spark emotional legal battles, pitting big business against devastated families. And as more and more memories are being stored online, new tools are necessary to make sure loved ones can easily access personal details that could be lost forever.

JORDAN, Minn. One small-town Minnesota school district is taking a unique approach to keeping students safe: The police are moving in. In Jordan, south of Minneapolis, officials looking at school security after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut decided the police would set up satellite offices in public schools. Officers will conduct some of their daily work from the schools, including taking calls and filling out paperwork, while still going out into the community to patrol or respond to emergencies. The hope is the armed officers, with their squad cars in school parking lots, will discourage or meet any would-be attackers. Jordan schools havent had an attack or a problem with violence. But the plan proposed by the police chief received unanimous approval from the City Council and the school board, and it seems to have the backing of parents and school administrators. Sandy Hook had everything in place security-wise, they really did. But what they didnt have was a trained, armed officer at the front door, said Jordan Elementary School Principal Stacy DeCorsey. We will have that the majority of the time. Schools across the U.S. have been looking at security after the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and six workers dead. The National Rifle Association called for putting armed guards in schools. President Barack Obama proposed more funding for counselors and school resource officers, whose primary assignment is to work in schools. Some districts hired retired officers. One Colorado district asked officers to write reports from their squad cars in school parking lots.

Vegas fugitive arrested at Los Angeles apartment

KITTERY, Maine They dont care which side caused Washingtons latest crisis. Five hundred miles from Capitol Hill, the men and women of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard are worrying about paying rent, searching for new jobs and caring for sick loved ones. Almost the entire workforce, a community of more than 5,000 along the Maine and New Hampshire seacoast, is preparing to lose the equivalent of a months pay because of Congress inability to resolve another budget stalemate. The fear is consuming military communities as the nation braces for budget cuts designed to be so painful they would compel Congress to find better ways to cut the federal deficit. President Barack Obama and governors from across the nation have intensified calls for compromise in recent days to meet todays deadline. Defense officials warn of diminished military readiness as the cuts begin to bite. Economists warn of damage to a delicate economic recovery. And federal officials warn of travel delays, slashed preschool access and closed national parks. But in small towns whose economies are deeply tied to the military, there is a human impact that breeds anger and fear. Preparing for a worst-case scenario, Navy officials have plans to force mandatory furloughs on roughly 186,000 civilian employees across the country. People like Huntley and Do would lose 22 paid days between April and October, or roughly 20 percent of their pay. Shipyards from coast to coast have outlined cost-cutting plans to delay huge maintenance contracts on nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. Polling suggests that some Americans are still unaware of the looming cuts, known in Washington speak as a sequester, but the debate is well known to federal employees and the huge network of businesses, contractors and communities that serve Navy shipyards and military bases. Virtually every nearby restaurant, grocery store or car dealer is aware of the looming cuts.

Officers in dragged man case suspended

JOHANNESBURG South Africas police chief announced today that eight officers allegedly involved in the death of a man who was bound and then dragged by a police vehicle have been suspended and that the local police commander has been removed from his post. Gen. Riah Phiyega said today that she shares the extreme shock and outrage over the abuse of the Mozambican immigrant by police officers and supports the investigation by the police watchdog agency. The rights of Mido Macia, a 27-year-old from neighboring Mozambique, were violated in the most extreme form, she said. The detention and dragging of the man, a taxi driver who had parked in the wrong spot, was videotaped by members of a horrified crowd of onlookers. BY RAF CASERT The Associated Press

has pretty much disappeared from much of its northern range. Overall, its range has shrunk by about 23 percent, although it is still strong in Texas and the West, she said. People call them the big fuzzies, Cameron said. Theyre phenomenal animals. They can fly in the snow. Her research found four species of bumblebees in trouble: the American bumblebee, the rusty-patched bumblebee, the western bumblebee and the yellow-banded bumblebee. A separate Science study by a European team showed that wild bees in general have a larger role in pollinating plants than the honey bees that are trucked in to do the job professionally. Those domesticated bees are already in trouble with record high prices for bees to pollinate California almond trees, said David Inouye at the University of Maryland. Scientists suspect a combination of disease and parasites for the dwindling of both wild and domesticated bees.

LOS ANGELES A weeklong multi-state manhunt for the suspected gunman in a Las Vegas Strip shooting and crash that killed three people ended when he surrendered in Los Angeles while apparently going about life as usual. Ammar Harris, 26, a self-described pimp, was jailed pending an extradition hearing Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. A neighbor, Gail Gaghagen, said she thinks she saw Harris on Tuesday sitting alone in the gym at Archview Luxury Apartments in Los Angeles Studio City neighborhood, dressed in shorts and a tank top. The arrest of Harris, a convicted felon in South Carolina who shows fists full of money on Internet posts and boasts of a high-rolling lifestyle with prostitutes in Miami and Las Vegas, ended a manhunt that began after a Feb. 21 shooting and spectacular, fiery accident that killed three people and injured five at an intersection home to the Bellagio, Ballys, Flamingo and Caesars Palace casino resorts. I hope anyone out there watching understands clearly if you live in this city, if you work in this city, or you visit this city and act like this person, we will find you, we will prosecute you, and we will send you to prison, Clark County Sheriff Douglas Gillespie said Thursday in Las Vegas. Court documents allege Harris was driving his black Range Rover SUV when he fired at least five shots into a Maserati sports car, killing Kenneth Wayne Cherry Jr., a rapper who called himself Kenny Clutch.
