Miller, Heiing
headline
state qualifiers

KETTERING One
more step.
That is what five Tri-
County-area wrestlers took
after earning top-4 places
at the Division III Kettering
Fairmont District competi-
tion Friday and Saturday held
in Trent
Arena.
Two of
them were
c h a m p i -
ons of their
r e s p e c -
tive weight
c l a s s e s :
s e n i o r s
Curtis Miller
(220) of Jefferson, pinning
Jared Panstingel (Catholic
Central) in 1:23; and St.
Johns senior Logan Heiing
(195), who pinned Kaleb
Campbell of Dixie in 3:44.
Miller remained unbeaten
(52-0) after pinning all four
opponents in a combined time
of 6:25 and qualified for his
third trip to Columbus.
I final-
ly got the
d i s t r i c t
title after
being here
for three
years. I
was runner-
up twice,
M i l l e r
noted. It
feels great to
get back there. I was pretty
relaxed this weekend; I knew
that if I simply wrestled to
my capability, I was going to
go to state. I didnt really feel
like I had the target on my
back; there are a lot of good
wrestlers here.
Miller did wrestle at state
two years ago but was unable
to go last year after qualify-
ing second. He will try to
duplicate the feat of his older
brother, Stuart, who claimed
a title three years ago.
I think everythings
straightened out from that; I
feel relaxed and relieved, the
younger Miller added. Hes
recovering from an injury, so
he hasnt been able to wrestle
with me as much. Hes still
there for support and every-
thing else. Ive been wres-
tling against Mitch Dues on
Sundays and those are pretty
good work-
outs. Im
sure that
will con-
tinue and
well also
get some
live prac-
tice against
some of the
other guys
from the area that made it
down to state.
Heiing, who pinned his
four foes in a combined 8:47,
is also relieved after failing
to make it out of districts last
winter, getting revenge on his
finals opponent and becom-
ing the first Blue Jay wrestler
to win a district crown sine
1988.
He had beaten me in
3 overtimes at the LCC
Invitational in January. Coach
(Derek Sterling) and I went
back and looked at the films
from that, what I did right
and wrong and what he did
or didnt do, Heiing said.
I was pretty relaxed after
winning the wrestle-in match;
that match was pretty nerve-
racking, especially after not
making it to state last year. Its
good that I will be wrestling a
4th-placer from another dis-
trict; theyre all good down
there but that will help.
Fellow Blue Jay senior
Logan Looser finished sec-
ond at 160, falling 10-8 to
Allen Easts J.R. Conyers. He

he wanted after getting tech-

Van Wert County commissioner
Four battle for seat

Baxter Brandt Evans
VAN WERT Because
every candidate for both com-
missioner races in this county
is a Republican, the primary
winners will fill the seats in
January unless an independent
files by March 5. One of the
four men competing to replace
Gary Adams when he vacates
his seat is Phil Baxter.
The 44-year-old works for
a manufacturing company. In
a statement, he said he worked
as a customer service repre-
sentative at Crown Equipment

then left to take a position as
a sales engineer for an indus-
trial tooling distributor. The

Republicans vying for Gary
Adams seat at the county
commissioners table is York
Township Trustee Bill Evans.
The 58-year-old has been
a trustee for many years and
the job is much like that of a
commissioner.
Ive been a trustee in York
Township for around 20 years
and have learned we do much
the same as commissioners.
We are responsible for bud-
gets and infrastructure. We
work with people to solve
problems; we run the snow

of other things. We are work-

candidates to replace outgoing
Commissioner Gary Adams
are Republicans, the winner
will likely take the seat Jan.

by March 5, the winner of
this years primary will run
unopposed. There are four
candidates, one of which is
the countys 9-1-1 coordinator
and school board president at

Kim Brandt, 51, is running
for commissioner because she
wants to promote the county

Every day, hunger kills as many as 11,000 kids under age 5. The junior and high
school youth groups at Trinity United Methodist Church decided to see what it feels
like to be hungry during the 30-Hour Famine hosted at the church Saturday and
Sunday. Participating youth were to fast from 3 a.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday and
competed in Tribal Wars to keep their food supplies safe. Teams Kenya, Zambia and
Bolivia guarded their seeds for next years harvest throughout the event. The fast was

Israeli attack on Iran might
pull US into new war
By ROBERT BURNS
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON An
Israeli pre-emptive attack on
Irans nuclear sites could draw
the U.S. into a new Mideast
conflict, a prospect dreaded
by a war-weary Pentagon
wary of new entanglements.
That could mean press-
ing into service the top tier
of American firepower
warplanes, warships, special
operations forces and possi-
bly airborne infantry with
unpredictable outcomes in
one of the worlds most vola-
tile regions.
Israel can commence a
war with Iran, but it may
well take U.S. involvement
to conclude it, says Karim
Sadjadpour, a Middle East
specialist at the Carnegie
Endowment for International
Peace.
An armed clash with Iran
is far from certain. Diplomacy
backed by increasingly tough
economic penalties is still
seen by the United States and
much of the rest of the world
as worth pursuing for now,
not least because the other
options going to war or
simply doing nothing are
considered more risky.
Israel, however, worries
that Iran soon could enter a
zone of immunity in which
enough of its nuclear mate-
rials are beyond the reach
of Israeli air power so that
Iran could not be stopped,
or perhaps could be stopped
only by superior American
firepower.
If Israels American-made
strike planes managed to pen-
etrate Iranian air space and
bomb Irans main nuclear
facilities, some of which are
underground, then Iran would
be expected to retaliate in any
number of ways. That pos-
sibly could include the firing
of Shahab-3 ballistic missiles
at Tel Aviv or other Israeli
targets.
Iran might take a less
direct approach, relying on its
Hezbollah allies in Lebanon
or Hamas militants in Gaza to
hit Israel with missiles from
closer range.
Iran also might block the
Strait of Hormuz, a key tran-
sit route for the worlds oil
tankers. It could attack nearby
Bahrain, home to the U.S.
Navys 5th Fleet. In either of
these scenarios, the U.S. mili-
tary almost certainly would
hit back, possibly with strikes
against the Iranian navy or
land targets.
Michael OHanlon,
a defense analyst at the
Brookings Institution, sees a
chance that the U.S. could
largely stay out of the fight if
Israel struck first. If Irans air
defenses managed to knock

4 students shot at
Ohio school;
suspect in custody
CHARDON (AP) A
gunman opened fire inside
a high schools cafeteria
at the start of the school
day today, wounding four
students, officials said. A
suspect was in custody.
FBI agent Scott Wilson
said there was one sus-
pected shooter. He wouldnt

The shooting was reported

COLUMBUS How
much does it cost to properly
educate Ohio schoolchildren?
What percentage of taxpayer
dollars should go into class-
rooms or reading help, coun-
seling or the arts? Should
struggling districts get more
than comfortable ones? How
much more?
All huge questions. All
without answers.
Since 2009, Ohio has been
effectively without a school
funding formula, the equation
that answers vexing policy
questions and doles out dol-
lars accordingly. The deci-
sions that go into calculat-
ing whats paid to Ohios 613
school districts and 353 char-
ter schools have the potential
to affect many Ohioans tax
bills, home values, and the
ultimate quality of the educa-
tion Ohio children receive.
Republican Gov. John
Kasich scrapped his
Democratic predecessor Ted
Stricklands attempt at a solu-
tion last year. Kasich made
no mention of a replacement
during his recent State of the
State speech, though an educa-
tion adviser initially predicted
a draft plan could be ready by
October 2011.
Damon Asbury, legislative
director for the Ohio School
Boards Association, said, I
think people realized it was
more complicated than origi-
nally thought.
During a January forum
sponsored by The Associated
Press, Kasich said the state
has a long way to go to pre-
pare the public for the change
thats required.
The solutions lie in more
money into instruction, the
solutions lie in more paren-
tal involvement, so we have
to keep working on this, he
said. This is going to take
a long time, to get people
to where they need to be to
understand that there are addi-
tional reforms that need to be
made.
In the two decades since
the Ohio Supreme Court first
declared the states school
funding system unconstitu-
tional, many attempts have
been made to come up with a
workable solution. The high
court said Ohios system relied
too heavily on property taxes,
which can vary widely between
rich and poor districts.
One plan looked to spend-
ing by academically success-
ful schools as the benchmark
for districts statewide. Another
sent a set amount per student
to each district, with addition-
al weight given to how many
pupils a district had in poverty
or in special programs.
Stricklands plan, the so-
called evidence-based model
unveiled in 2009, identified
scientifically proven ideas for
best teaching students, train-
ing teachers, and creating a
productive school atmosphere
then mandated that those
ideas be phased in over time.
Bill Phillis, who heads the
group that brought Ohios
original school funding law-
suit, said Stricklands plan got
the state closest to a constitu-
tional approach. It also would
eventually have required an
extra $5 billion a year once
fully phased in something
the state couldnt afford.
Stricklands evidence-
based model was the first
real attempt in this state to
identify the components of a
quality education: What do
we have to have in place in
school districts? said Phillis,
director of the Ohio Coalition
for Equity and Adequacy of
School Funding. It couldnt
be funded but the structure
was there. If you have a struc-
ture, you have a road map to
where you need to be.
Asbury said the toughest
challenge school districts face
is explaining to the public how
school funding works and
where they get their money.
Explaining that theres no for-
mula can be even tougher.

ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan
Pakistani authorities have
reduced the house where Osama
bin Laden lived for years before
he was killed by U.S. com-
mandos to rubble, destroying a
concrete symbol of the coun-
trys association with one of the
worlds most reviled men.
Workers completed the
demolition job in the garrison
town of Abbottabad in north-
west Pakistan today.
The al-Qaida leader moved
into the three-story house in
2005. Acting on intelligence
gathered by the CIA, a team
of U.S. commandos flew in by
helicopter from Afghanistan
and killed bin Laden on May 2
before dumping his body at sea
hours later.
The operation left Pakistans
army in the awkward position
of explaining why it had not
detected the U.S. raid, and how
bin Laden was able to live in
the town without its knowledge.
U.S. officials have said they
have found no evidence that
senior Pakistani officials were
in the know about bin Ladens
whereabouts.
Mechanized backhoe vehi-
cles and construction workers
began pulling down the house
on Saturday night, working
under floodlights.
An Associated Press photog-
rapher said today the job was
completed, save for a section of
its boundary walls.
The house stood less than
half a mile (one kilometer) from
one of the Pakistan armys top
training academies.
Authorities never allowed
journalists inside the building,
and starting from a few days
after the raid stopped them from
even getting close to it.
(Continued from page 1A)
down an Israeli fighter pilot,
however, U.S. special opera-
tions forces might be sent to
rescue him, he said.
If the U.S. spotted Iran
preparing to fire a ballistic
missile at Israel in a retalia-
tory act, its possible we
would decide to take that mis-
sile out, OHanlon said. I
would bet against most other
direct American involve-
ment.
Irans response to an Israeli
pre-emptive strike is unpre-
dictable. Irans defense min-
ister, in a warning broadcast
Saturday on state-run televi-
sion, said a strike by the
Zionist regime will undoubt-
edly lead to the collapse of
this regime. Gen. Ahmad
Vahidi did not say what type
of action Iran would take
should Israel attack.
Uncertainty about Iranian
retaliation, as well as the cas-
cade of potential consequenc-
es if the U.S. got drawn into
the conflict, is at the core of
U.S. officials rationale for
publicly casting doubt on the
wisdom of Israeli military
action now.
Gen. Martin Dempsey,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, bluntly made the
point last weekend. He told
CNNs Fareed Zakaria GPS
that the retaliation equation is
the reason that we think that
its not prudent at this point
to decide to attack Iran and
thats been our counsel to
our allies, the Israelis, well-
known, well-documented. He
said he doubts Israel has been
persuaded by Washingtons
pleadings.
Depending on the type
and scale of the Iranian reac-
tion to an Israeli strike, and
whether it included attacks
on U.S. forces or bases,
President Barack Obama
would be under enormous
domestic political pressure
to come to Israels aid. His
prospective Republican chal-
lengers for the White House
have tried to portray Obama
as insufficiently loyal to
Israel and overly tolerant of
Iran.
WASHINGTON (AP)
NASA is making a cosmic
U-turn on the road to Mars.
For the past two decades,
the U.S. space agency has been
practically obsessed with Mars.
It has hardly missed an oppor-
tunity about every two years to
fling robotic spacecraft at the
red planet.
This summer, the most high-
tech rover ever, Curiosity, will
land near the Martian equator
in search of the chemical build-
ing blocks of life. The more
scientists study Mars, the closer
they get to answering wheth-
er microbial life once existed
there, a clue to the ultimate
question: Are we alone?
Presidents have long talk-
ed about sending astronauts
to Mars. Two years ago,
President Barack Obama stood
in Kennedy Space Center and
said it was more of a prior-
ity than going to the moon and
wanted astronauts there by the
mid-2030s.
But robotic Mars missions
slated for 2016 and 2018 were
cut from the presidents new
budget proposal, even though
NASA has spent $64 million on
early designs with the European
Space Agency for the two mis-
sions. The most ambitious Mars
flight yet and one the National
Academy of Sciences endorsed
as the No. 1 solar system prior-
ity a plan to grab Martian
rocks and soil and bring them
back to Earth is on indefinite
hold.
Were really at a cross-
roads, NASA planetary sci-
ences chief Jim Green said.
NASA will skip the 2016
launch opportunity and if offi-
cials are lucky, they hope still
to salvage something relatively
cheap for 2018, when Mars
passes closest to Earth. But it
wont be the large rock-collect-
ing mission that scientists had
been counting on. What a new
mission for 2018 would be is
still not clear even to NASA
senior officials.
To scientists, the message
from the White House seems
simple: Bye-bye, Mars.
At 2 p.m. on Saturday,
Delphos Police were contact-
ed by a subject in reference
to an assault that occurred on
Thursday around 10:15 p.m.
at a business in the 1600 block
of East Fifth Street.
The victim stated that while
sitting at a table, they were
approached by an unknown
male who struck the victim in
the eye and face area with a
set of keys.
The business was contacted
and is fully cooperating with
officers in investigating the
matter and will be reviewing
video evidence in the matter
along with supplying this evi-
dence with officers.
The case will be forwarded
to the Detective Bureau for
further investigation.

spokeswoman Ellen Ondrey
told The Associated Press.
Our thoughts and prayers go
out to them. We are very con-
cerned.
A spokeswoman for
Clevelands MetroHealth
System said a medical helicop-
ter was dispatched to the high
school. Angela Kiska, of the
Cleveland Clinic, told WJW-
TV in Cleveland that two of
the victims were transported to
Hillcrest Hospital.
Bob Herp, a Chardon trauma
nurse, was at a command scene
at a local Wal-Mart store where
he told WEWS-TV helicopters
were on the ground.
Ondrey said all classes in
the district were cancelled.
Students at the high school
and middle school had already
started their day when the shoot-
ing happened, but bus runs for
elementary school children
were stopped, Ondrey said.
Parents of high school stu-
dents were told to go to Maple
Elementary School to pick up
their children.
We want to make clear that
the students are safe, she said,
advising parents not to rush to
pick up students because the
area is extremely congested.
The lines are very long.

exposure in the business
world and the industrial mar-
kets were primarily in the
automotive, industrial fittings
and orthopedic industries.
The trend in the marketplace
was moving towards single-
source suppliers. With many
companies moving opera-
tions outside the U.S., along
with a downturn in the econ-
omy, Baxter found himself
out of a job.
He said he decided to take
the opportunity to further
his education. Being fiscally
responsible and not want-
ing to graduate with a heavy
debt load, he worked full and
part-time jobs at Wal-Mart,
Wright State University
and in the Mercer County
School District as a substi-
tute teacher. He had to start
from scratch since his credits
from ITT would not transfer
to a state-accredited collage.
He graduated in 2004 from
Wright State University-Lake
Campus with an Associate in
Business Administration, an
Associate in History, and a
Bachelors in Organizational
Leadership.
He wants to bring those
skills to the commissioners
office and has been thinking
of doing so for a while.
Ive been thinking about
running for quite some time
but you can spend a lot of
money trying to beat an
incumbent. I knew these seats
were coming available and
thought this would be a good
time to throw my hat in the
ring. Everyone has an equal
opportunity; it comes down
to the campaign you run and
not just running against an
incumbent, you know. A lot
of people just vote across the
board incumbent, so I hope
that explains why Im run-
ning, he said.
Baxter owns what he
calls a hobby-business in
woodworking, making crafts
such as hope chests and
wall plaques. He said he has
licensing agreements with
The Ohio State University
and Indiana University. He
also said he volunteers with
area organizations.
I have 20-plus years
of business experience that
would be beneficial and thats
what I bring to the table.
Other than experiences with
some of the non-profits I vol-
unteer my time with, I have
an organizational leadership
degree from the Wright State
University Lake Campus, he
said.
His goals for the commis-
sioners office revolve around
bringing in new jobs.
Commissioners dont
make policy; we have to
make sure to run a balanced
budget and I think we should
save for a rainy day. I think
the economys not going to
get much better here in the
next few years. I would like
to help out with economic
development if the oppor-
tunity exists. I understand
our economic development
person has taken a different
position and theyre actually
doing a national search for
someone to take her place.
That person is required to
have a masters degree. I
dont have a masters, so that
takes me out of the picture
but Id still like to work with
that, he said. We have that
supersite north of town; the
opportunity is going to exist
for a short time yet but I
think theres a time limit but
we also need to take a look
at making an atmosphere
conducive to smaller busi-
nesses.
Baxter Brandt
for commissioner is that as the
9-1-1 coordinator, the one thing
I cant do is economic develop-
ment. I love being on the Main
Street Board and being part of
getting the $600,000 grant for
downtown; I love that process,
trying to bring in new busi-
nesses, and its something I get
excited about, she said.
Brandt says the county
should remain diligent at find-
ing the right fit for the indus-
trial complex.
We have quite a bit invest-
ed in the megasite, both in
time and money. I think we
need to keep working on get-
ting something good in there
but I also think we need to
maintain what we have in the
community. We have a lot of
good things going on and we
dont want to let any of it slip
away, she said.
Her place of service over-
seeing emergency communi-
cation has given her a back-
ground in dealing with county
government, having written
grant proposals and lobbied
for legislation.
Ive been involved with
county government. Im famil-
iar with our elected officials and
made a case for 9-1-1 funding
with city council. I know my
way around the courthouse and
this experience is something I
bring to the table other candi-
dates dont, she said.
Brandt has held the posi-
tion for 12 years knows how to
go after funding when it isnt
already in the coffers.
As Van Wert County 9-1-1
Coordinator, I am responsible
for daily operations, such as
creating and managing the
budget, purchasing and main-
taining 9-1-1 equipment, coor-
dinating training, addressing
any 9-1-1 issues and coordinat-
ing operations with telephone
companies and emergency
responders. I was proactive in
implementing equipment and
technology that allows 9-1-1
to locate people when calling
from their cell phone. When
local funds were unavailable, I
sought and secured grant fund-
ing for the equipment updates
from the state. In addition, I am
very active in securing contin-
ued funding for the 9-1-1 cen-
ters through state legislation,
she said.
Brandt points to her school
board experience as what qual-
ifies her to deal with the bud-
getary end of serving residents
as their commissioner.
Im in my 10th year with
the Parkway school board
and Im also on the Vantage
board. We deal with a lot of
the same issues commission-
ers face budgets, personnel
issues, buildings and grounds
issues and others, she said.
Budgets are all about meeting
the needs. If we dont already
have the money sitting in the
bank, we have to figure out
where to cut or what we have
to do to balance the budget.
Brandt and her husband,
Cary, have been married for 31
years and raised two children.
She also chairs the county
Crime Stoppers program.
Evans
working trustees, he said.
He said he and his col-
leagues had to adjust with
his budget like any group of
commissioners in any Ohio
county did.
Our budget has been cut;
weve done the same thing
every other government enti-
ty has. Were also learning to
share with other townships
things like snow plows and
mowers. Were able to keep
up by being conservative,
he said.
Part of Evans vision for
the commissioners office is
to implement a comprehen-
sive plan that would docu-
ment the infrastructure avail-
able for new businesses. This
would include gas lines, elec-
trical lines, water and sewer
information and more.
We havent had a com-
prehensive plan since 1970.
There were committees set
up for it about 5 years ago
that came up with some
infrastructure and education
information for a compre-
hensive plan but it was never
adopted; this would be a plan
given to industry coming in
so they know where gas lines
are and electric lines and
roads and other such items,
he said.
If we had it all down and
on paper, we could just give
it to them and theyd know
if Van Wert is a good fit for
their company.
The United States Marine
veteran of the Vietnam War
has been married to his wife,
Ruth, for 36 years. They have
five kids. He says he wants to
bring positive change to his
county.
I am running for com-
missioner to bring positive
change to Van Wert County;
to help improve education and
bring in new businesses to add
jobs to our market. I sat on
the community development
improvement board and port
authority that were part of
bringing in the megasite and
I can promote it and promote
Van Wert County, he said. I
want to bring in new indus-
try by promoting the megasite
and get a comprehensive plan
together that will help do that.
I want to promote Van Wert
County as a good place to live
and raise a family.

Gas prices rise

Cooper Tire
workers to vote
on 5-year deal
COLUMBUS (AP)
Gasoline prices are up
more than 20 cents from
last week at Ohio pumps.
The states average price
for regular gas was $3.66
in todays survey from auto
club AAA, the Oil Price
Information Service and
Wright Express. Thats up
21 cents from the average
of $3.45 per gallon a week
ago.
Drivers were paying an
average of about $3.34 at
this time last year, before
prices climbed to record
highs. Some analysts
believe gas prices may hit
new highs in the next few
months.
A spike in gas prices
is normal in spring, but
it came earlier than usual
this year in large part
because of world fears that
the growing confrontation
with Iran will crimp oil
supplies.
FINDLAY (AP)
Union members at Cooper
Tire in northwest Ohio are
set to vote today on a ten-
tative five-year agreement
with the company that could
end a months-long lockout.
More than 1,000 workers
at the plant in Findlay were
locked out in November.
They had rejected an earlier
contract offer, saying they
were upset over proposed
pay cuts and increased
health care costs.
Multiple media outlets
have reported that newer
hires would be compensat-
ed differently than veteran
workers under the proposed
agreement.
The company has said it
believes the new proposal
addresses the unions con-
cerns but allows the manu-
facturer to maintain com-
petitive productivity.

TO THE EDITOR:
The Republican primary is fast approaching and we will
be casting our ballots March 6 for two new commissioners to
represent us. Im excited that we have so many quality candi-
dates who have decided to run for office. This race will be an
especially tough decision for some of us trying to distinguish
between facts and fiction. I would like to share my viewpoint.
Since I returned to Van Wert in 2002, I have met many inter-
esting individuals through my service on city council. I dont
throw the word integrity around much as it is a hard quality
to find, but I believe Kim Brandt possesses it. When I first met
Kim I was immediately impressed with her genuine caring and
interest in the people of this community. Her decision to run
for a commissioner seat was not taken lightly and has been an
ongoing dream of hers. If you know her you know that this
endeavor is not about feeding her ego, securing government
benefits or promoting her own personal agenda. Her dream is
to work together with all of the elected officials in finding the
best solutions for all of the county residents, not just a certain
demographic group.
Its easy to talk about ideas and dreams, but lets talk about
qualifications to actually accomplish them:
Kim Brandt has sought and obtained grant monies to
improve our county 9-1-1 service and she can do the same for
the countys needs.
Kim Brandt has been on the hot seat with school board
issues and knows how to effectively deal with and find solu-
tions to these challenges.
Kim Brandt has the county and board service experience
to hit the ground running her first day.
Kim Brandt is a proactive team player who believes in
working together across city and county boundaries to bring
new jobs and prosperity to Van Wert County.
Kim Brandt would work full time as commissioner.
Ive heard some of the other candidates talk about bringing
jobs to our county. That goal is definitely obtainable but will
require teamwork and a collaboration of great minds. No single
person, no matter what experience they have, can accomplish
it all. Weve all seen how the inability to work together can
accomplish nothing but frustration on the federal level. Kim
has already established a working relationship with not only our
county elected officials but with city, state and federal elected
officials as well.
Im excited about our future here in Van Wert county and
look forward to working with others who share the same kind
of enthusiasm. Lets elect Kim Brandt to get the job done. She
has my vote.

WASHINGTON (AP)
Heads up: Drones are going
mainstream.
Civilian cousins of the
unmanned military aircraft that
have tracked and killed terror-
ists in the Middle East and
Asia are in demand by police
departments, border patrols,
power companies, news orga-
nizations and others wanting
a birds-eye view thats too
impractical or dangerous for
conventional planes or heli-
copters to get.
Along with the enthusiasm,
there are qualms.
Drones overhead could
invade peoples privacy. The
government worries they
could collide with passenger
planes or come crashing down
to the ground, concerns that
have slowed more widespread
adoption of the technology.
Despite that, pressure is
building to give drones the
same access as manned air-
craft to the sky at home.
Its going to be the next
big revolution in aviation. Its
coming, says Dan Elwell,
the Aerospace Industries
Associations vice president
for civil aviation.
Some impetus comes from
the military, which will bring
home drones from Afghanistan
and wants room to test and use
them. In December, Congress
gave the Federal Aviation
Administration six months to
pick half a dozen sites around
the country where the military
and others can fly unmanned
aircraft in the vicinity of regu-
lar air traffic, with the aim of
demonstrating theyre safe.
The Defense Department
says the demand for drones
and their expanding missions
requires routine and unfettered
access to domestic airspace,
including around airports and
cities. In a report last October,
the Pentagon called for flights
first by small drones both solo
and in groups, day and night,
expanding over several years.
Flights by large and medium-
sized drones would follow in
the latter half of this decade.
By ANNE FLAHERTY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The
top U.S. diplomat in Kabul
and a campaign adviser to
President Barack Obama
said Sunday the U.S. isnt
rethinking its commitment to
Afghanistan after violent pro-
tests left more than two dozen
people dead, including two
Americans shot inside a gov-
ernment ministry.
U.S. Ambassador Ryan
Crocker and Robert Gibbs,
Obamas former press secre-
tary, said they believe Afghan
President Hamid Karzais
fragile government could col-
lapse and the Taliban would
regain power if the U.S. were
to walk away.
This is not the time to
decide that were done here,
said Crocker. We have got
to redouble our efforts. Weve
got to create a situation in
which al-Qaida is not coming
back.
Added Gibbs, What the
presidents trying to do now
is get us to a point where we
can hand off the security of
Afghanistan to the Afghans
and that we can bring our
troops home.
Their comments echoed
arguments made by the Bush
administration at the height of
violence in Iraq, even as pop-
ular support for that war was
waning. As in Iraq, American
voters are questioning the util-
ity of the decade-long Afghan
conflict and whether a stable
government there would be
worth the loss in U.S. blood
and treasure.
If we decide were
tired of it, al-Qaida and the
Taliban certainly arent,
said Crocker, who served in
the Bush administration as
ambassador to Iraq.
Obama apologized last
week to Karzai for what U.S.
officials said was an inad-
vertent burning of Afghan
religious materials, includ-
ing Qurans, at Bagram air
base north of Kabul. Still, the
incident fanned anti-Western
sentiment across the coun-
try, leaving dozens of people
dead, including four U.S.
troops reportedly killed by
their Afghan counterparts.
On Saturday, a U.S. lieu-
tenant colonel and a major
were found shot inside a heav-
ily guarded Afghan ministry.
The Taliban claimed respon-
sibility and said the killings
were in retaliation for the
Quran burnings. The shoot-
ings prompted the unprec-
edented recall of NATO per-
sonnel working inside Afghan
ministries, dealing a serious
blow to the U.S. effort to
rebuild the Afghan govern-
ment through mentoring.
The Pentagon on Sunday
identified Air Force Lt. Col.
John D. Loftis as one of the
service members killed in
the ministry incident. The
44-year-old airman from
Paducah, Ky., was assigned to
the 866th Air Expeditionary
Squadron in Kabul.
Afghan officials, including
the defense and interior min-
isters, canceled planned visits
to Washington this coming
week so they could remain in
Kabul for consultations about
how to quell the violence,
Pentagon press secretary
George Little said Sunday.
He said Defense Secretary
Leon Panetta understands
why thats a priority and
hopes to see them soon at the
Pentagon.
Meetings with Panetta and
Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman
Gen. Martin Dempsey were
on the schedule.
Obamas political oppo-
nents have seized on the series
of events to cast doubt on the
presidents handling of the
war, aligning themselves with
voters frustrated by the slow
progress.
WASHINGTON Let
me be blunt: If Republicans
nominate Rick Santorum,
they will lose.
The prospect of four more
years of Barack Obama
holds some appeal for many
Americans, but probably
not for most Republicans. It
may give doubters among
them some comfort, how-
ever, to know that Obama
and Santorum share the same
prayer: that Santorum be the
Republican nominee.
It gives me no pleasure to
rap Santorum, a man I know
and respect even if I disagree
with him on some issues. Not
that he minds. Hes a scrap-
per who loves a fight and
he forgives. Bottom line:
Santorum is a good man. Hes
just a good man in the wrong
century.
This doesnt necessar-
ily mean hes wrong about
everything, but hes so far out
of step with the majority of
Americans that he cant hope
to win the votes of moderates
and independents so crucial
to victory in November. The
Republican Partys insistence
on conservative purity, mean-
while, will result in the cold
comfort of defeat with honor
and, in the longer term, poten-
tial extinction.
Increasingly, the party is
growing grayer and whiter.
Nine out of 10 Republicans
are non-Hispanic white and
about half are highly reli-
gious, according to Gallup.
This isnt news, but when
this demographic is sudden-
ly associated with renewed
debate about whether women
should have access to contra-
ception never mind abor-
tion suddenly they begin
to look like the Republican
Brotherhood.
Add to that perception the
abhorrent, pre-abortion ultra-
sound legislation proposed in
Virginia, and you can kiss
the popes ring and voters
retreating backsides.
The proposed law, tem-
porarily tabled, called for
women seeking an abortion
to be forced to submit to a
vaginal ultrasound. Aldous
Huxleys The Devils of
Loudon comes to mind, but
he was writing about exor-
cisms in a convent of 17th-
century France. When did
Republicans, who supposedly
believe in less government
intervention, begin thinking
that invading a persons body
against her will was remotely
acceptable?
Saner minds have pre-
vailed, at least for now, but
the fact that the bill was ever
conceived and taken seriously
by at least some number of
legislators gives freedom-lov-
ing voters every reason to run
the other way.
Informed consent is, in
my view, a reasonable goal.
Surely removal of a human
fetus deserves the same level
of awareness we would insist
upon in removing, say, a
gall bladder. If some women
change their minds after
viewing the contents of their
womb, then they obviously
needed more information
than they had going in. Still,
any procedure should be vol-
untary, and inserting a probe
into a woman against her will
is rape by any other name.
Obviously, this is no place
for the state.
The Virginia bill and the
broader (bogus) message
often repeated on left-leaning
talk shows that Republicans
are campaigning against birth
control have created a perfect
storm for defeat. The math is
clear: Sixty-seven percent of
women are either Democrats
(41 percent) or independents
(26 percent); more women
than men vote; 55 percent of
women ages 18-22 voted in
the 2008 presidential election.
Republicans are caught in
a nearly impossible situation,
none more than the more tem-
perate-minded Mitt Romney.
It is important to remember,
however, why contraception
came up in the first place.
Republicans were forced to
man their battlements by the
Obama administrations new
health care rule mandating
that Catholic organizations
pay for contraception in vio-
lation of conscience. From
there, things spiraled out of
the realm of religious liberty,
where this debate belongs,
and into the fray of moral dif-
ferences.
Santorums original surge
was based not on social issues
but on his authenticity and his
ability to identify with mid-
dle-class struggles. He was
the un-Romney. But now this
appealing profile has been
occluded by social positions
that make him an outlier to
mainstream Americans.
Republicans may sleep
better if they nominate The
Most Conservative Person In
The World, but they wont be
seeing the executive branch
anytime soon. Its too bad this
election season got lost in the
weeds of religious conviction.
It wouldnt have happened if
the Obama administration had
simply taken one of several
other routes available for pro-
viding birth control to women
who want it. Instead, Obama
aimed right at the heart of
the Republican Party and, one
can only assume, got exactly
what he wanted: a culture
war in which Rick Santorum
would be the natural point
man and, in the broader pub-
lics perception, the voice of
the GOP.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.
When Rick Santorum told
a Michigan crowd they had
come to see him because
freedom is at stake in this
election, a man in the crowd
shouted a word thats almost
never heard at Mitt Romneys
campaign events: Amen!
When Romney went to
Milford, Mich., to talk to
tea party voters, he took a
handful of pre-screened ques-
tions from event organizers.
After Santorum wrapped up
a 30-minute speech to several
hundred tea partyers early on
a Saturday in St. Clair Shores,
he picked hands eagerly wav-
ing in the audience.
I cant get out of here
alive without taking a few
questions, the former
Pennsylvania senator said.
Day by day, event by event,
Michigans critical primary on
Tuesday is crystallizing the
dramatic differences between
Romney, the on-again off-
again GOP front-runner, and
Santorum, his current top
challenger for the Republican
presidential nomination.
The two men are running
almost neck-and-neck in this
struggling Rust Belt state, but
as the two campaigned just
miles apart on Sunday, the
voters they spoke to were as
different as the messages they
brought and as the campaigns
they are running.
The contrasts are both sty-
listic and substantive, and they
illustrate why Romney, a mul-
timillionaire business execu-
tive and a Mormon, is sud-
denly struggling in the presi-
dential primary in the state
where he was born and raised
as he runs against Santorum,
a strict Catholic who wears
sweater vests and highlights
his background as the senator
from another suffering manu-
facturing state, Pennsylvania.
Standing at a podium in
a nightclub on the outskirts
of town, Santorum outlined a
vision of American greatness
driven by the workers who he
says built it.
We know what works in
America. Bottom up. Bottom
up has built a great coun-
try, Santorum told a crowd of
about 600 on Sunday. Many
were still dressed in their
church clothes; others wore
Detroit Red Wings jackets and
camouflage hunting caps.
He spoke for nearly an hour
before taking questions, the
crowd following him the whole
time, whistling and cheering
and shouting back, running
through the Declaration of
Independence like a call-and-
answer sports cheer.
They are endowed by
their Santorum started.
CREATOR! the crowd
shouted back.
When a young girl stand-
ing near the stage piped up:
You should be president!,
Santorum smiled and thanked
her. Out of the mouths of
babes, he said, easily referenc-
ing Matthew 21:16.
And when a reporter mingled
with the crowd and approached
him after the event, Santorum
stopped to answer a question
about whether he supports rais-
ing minimum wage along with
inflation, as Romney does.
I am not in support of that.
Thats inflationary and doesnt
make any sense, Santorum
said. Its bad policy.
A few hours later at a soar-
ing ballroom in the Park Place
Hotel downtown on Sunday
night, a state representative
and a congressman stalled
for about 45 minutes before
Romney stepped onto the
stage at the front of the room,
an enormous campaign sign
hanging behind him.
He spoke for about 20
minutes, offering his standard
campaign speech with added
focus on his Michigan roots.
The right course for
America is to believe in free
people and free enterprises
and I do and I will, Romney
told the crowd, some men in
jackets and one with a ball cap
advertising the Jack Nicklaus-
designed golf courses at near-
by Grand Traverse Resort. He
cited the pioneers and inno-
vators who helped America
thrive and said: Their success
did not make us poorer. Their
success made us better off!
US says its steadfast in
rebuilding Afghanistan
Santorum, Romney differences crystallize
Obamas prayer
Pressure builds
for drone fights

DISTRICT WRESTLING RESULTS
finals.
I came out more aggres-
sive and attacking today;
I didnt do that at all last
week, Looser explained. It
was a pretty back-and-forth
match. It feels good to finally
qualify for state as a senior.
Im sure well keep working
hard in practice and fine-tune
a lot of stuff; this time of year,
you pretty much know all the
moves, so you just have to
sharpen them up and still stay
fresh.
A pair of Columbus Grove
seniors also advanced: Gavin
Windau (195), who finished
third after beating Connor
Domsitz 5-1; and Dylan
Kleman (138) who was
defeated 6-2 by Kyler Deeter
of Covington.
I have to give my oppo-
nent credit; he was just better
today. What hurt me today
was giving up those points on
reversals; you cant afford to
do that in a tournament like
this, Kleman said. I did
get a little tired today, so I
have to make sure I keep on
conditioning this week and
make sure Im as fit as pos-
sible when I go to wrestle
Thursday. Other than that, I
just need to make sure I am
mentally focused.
Two more locals: Jefferson
junior Colin McConnahea
(fifth at 195 after pinning
Kyle Dieringer of Versailles)
and St. Johns junior Will
Buettner (fifth at 152 after
besting Brandon Christian of
Versailles 3-1); will serve as
alternates and could wrestle
should any of the top four be
unable to go.
St. Johns junior Brett
Schwinnen (182) and
Columbus Grove junior Tregg
Keysor (106) finished sixth.
Other local wrestlers in the
tournament and where they
were eliminated were:
Third consolation: St.
Johns sophomore Austin
Martin (145), Spencerville
freshman Logan Vandemark
(285) and Lincolnview junior
Jacquobe Markward (106).
Second consolation:
Jefferson senior Darren
Edinger (152), junior Quinten
Wessell (injury forfeit at
285) and freshman Gaige
Rassman (113), St. Johns
freshman Wes Buettner (126)
and Columbus Grove sopho-
more Brett Sampson (120)
and junior Brandon Benroth
(160).
First Consolation: St.
Johns junior Luke Wrasman
(170), Spencerville junior
Cory Binkley (132) and
Columbus Grove junior
Adam Johnson (220).
St. Johns finished eighth
(72 points) out of 44 teams,
while Jefferson (52) was 14,
Columbus Grove (42.5) 18th,
Spencerville (6) 34th and
Lincolnview (5) tied for 35th.

Jeffersons defense harassed Crestview all night, allow-
ing only five made field goals and five free throws.
Jefferson seniors Courtney Lewis and Megan Gilden trap
Crestview freshman Lindsey Motycka during Saturday
nights 11-point triumph.
Spencerville had a good defensive plan and contested
every pass into the paint as Jennifer Post and Schylar
Miller trap Blue Jay senior Shelby Reindel. Reindel had
10 points by half but earned them on two triples and trips
to the charity stripe but that was not enough as the Lady
Bearcats upset the top-seeded Lady Blue Jays 42-39.

VAN WERT Four rival
girls basketball teams bat-
tled it out Saturday night at
Van Wert High School for a
chance to claim a Division IV
sectional title.
The Spencerville Bearcats
stunned St. Johns with a
42-39 victory in the nightcap.
Jefferson also advanced to dis-
tricts with a 26-15 win over
Crestview.
Spencerville traveled to
Delphos earlier in the season
and the Blue Jays picked up
the win over the Bearcats but
anything can happen in tour-
nament.
Courtney Miller nailed two
3-pointers in the first quarter
to surprise the Blue Jays, tak-
ing a 12-5 lead.
St. Johns outscored
Spencerville 10-6 in the sec-
ond quarter but still trailed
18-15 at halftime.
The Blue Jays tied the
game 18-all with a triple
by senior Shelby Reindel.
Spencerville retook the lead
shortly after and grabbed a
25-22 lead going into the final
eight minutes of action.
With an offensive putback
from Miller, Spencerville took
a 31-24 lead with 3:20 left in
the game. A 3-point play from
junior Katie Vorst brought the
Blue Jays within two.
With two free throws from
Schylar Miller and a free
throw from Jennifer Post, the
Bearcats took a 42-39 lead
with less than 10 seconds
remaining. Spencerville fin-
ished the game out on the
free-throw line in knocking
out the Blue Jays in section-
als.
Our main concern was to
cover the high-low because
earlier in the season, they
really beat us on that part of
the game, Spencerville coach
Katie Krieg said. We played
really hard defense and took
their bigger players out of
the game and everybody just
stepped up tonight.
St. Johns shot just 15-of-52
from the field (28.8%), while
the Bearcats made 12-of-28
(42.9%) and connected at the
charity stripe, knocking down
14-of-18 (77.8%).
We had a height advan-
tage on them but they were
quicker to the ball and quicker
to the basket, St. Johns men-
tor coach Dan Grothouse said.
They were very aggressive
and we were in a hurry with
most of our shots.
Miller led all scorers
with 12 points, while Alyssa
Mulholland had 10. Post col-
lected 11 rebounds and fin-
ished with eight points.
Reindel had 10 points and
senior Courtney Grothouse
added nine. They ended their
season at 14-7.
In the opener, the Knights
took a 32-30 overtime win
Dec. 15 against the Jeffcats
but Delphos got its revenge in
the tournament chase.
It was all defense in the
first quarter as Jefferson
took a slim 6-2 lead. Megan
Gilden had all six points for
the Jefferson offense in those
eight minutes.
Courtney Lewis nailed a
long-distance shot to give the
Wildcats a 13-8 lead and later
was fouled at the buzzer and
made three free throws to give
Jefferson an 18-10 lead at
halftime.
Northwest Conference
Player of the Year, senior
Kennedy Boggs, had to sit
out most of the second quar-
ter due to three fouls and
was held scoreless in the first
half.
We had to have other
people step up and they did
that for us tonight, Jefferson
mentor coach David Hoffman
said. (Samantha) Thitoff
stepped up for us and played a
lot of good, quality minutes.
Crestview continued its
rough shooting night in the
fourth quarter, being held
to just one field goal. The
Wildcats took a 22-12 lead
early in the quarter with a
jumper from senior Elizabeth
Schosker, while sophomore
Rileigh Stockwell hit a jump-
er with 1:05 left in the game
to effectively close the deal.
We didnt have the best
shooting night but our defense
was there and made some good
stops, Hoffman, who picked
up his 401st win, added. I
was very proud of our kids
tonight and their effort defen-
sively; hopefully the offense
gets a little better for the next
game.
Neither team shot very
well Saturday night, with
Crestview making just 5-of-
30 (16.7%), 0-of-6 from long
distance. Jefferson shot 10-of-
32 (31.3%), 1-of-6 from
beyond the arc.
I thought we did a nice
job defensively, especially on
Boggs and Lewis, and didnt
let them score on us as easily
as they usually do, Crestview
coach Greg Rickard said.
When you shoot the ball as
poorly as we did, its really
hard to win a game.
Crestview finished their
season with a 12-9 record.
Freshman Lindsey Motyka
finished with seven points for
the Knights.
Lewis had a team-high
seven points for the Wildcats.
Gilden added six points and
nine rebounds.
Jefferson (16-6) will play
unbeaten Ottoville in the first
game (6:15 p.m.) at Lima
Senior Thursday. Spencerville
will take on Kalida at 8 p.m.

BLUFFTON The
Bluffton Division IV girls
sectional finals Saturday night
were old acquaintances time
of Putnam County League
rivals: Ottoville/Continental
and Kalida/Columbus
Grove.
The Lady Big
Green stayed perfect
(21-0) by coasting to
71-42 victory over
the Lady Pirates to
advance to districts.
In the other brack-
et, the LadyCats
pulled away from
the Lady Bulldogs in
the second half for at
47-33 victory.
Ottoville struck first with
a putback from 6-2 junior
Abby Siefker. The Lady
Pirates were keeping the top-
ranked Lady Green at bay
with their defense and Taylor
Williamson, who led all scor-
ers with 19 points, netted a
3-pointer at the 5-minute mark
to take a 3-2 lead. They scored
again 1:42 later when Sara
Deken sank two from the char-
ity stripe for a 3-point lead,
their last of the night. Ottoville
senior Lauren Kramer hit the
first of her four 3-pointers
from the right corner to tie
the game. Siefker got another
putback at the 1:26 mark on
her way to a team-leading 14
points. She hit the front end
of two with 55 seconds left.
The final points of the quar-
ter were made by Ottoville
junior Rachel Beining for a
10-5 Lady Green lead.
The girls are very unself-
ish in finding the hot person,
the open person. If we are
making 3s, we are going to get
it inside. We had nine people
score and 10 3-pointers by
five different girls, Ottoville
coach Dave Kleman opined.
The second quarter,
Ottoville kept up the pressure
after having a slow start at the
offensive end, doing the most
damage with an 11-0 run start-
ing at the 4:13, hitting three 3s
and a turnaround jumper by
the 2:02 mark. The Pirates had
a scoreless streak of 3:54 over
the same part of the quarter
until they broke it with 49
seconds left; Paige Ordways
jumper from the elbow.
Ottoville came right back with
another 3-pointer from senior
Lauren Koch in the left cor-
ner. The Lady Pirates closed
out the first half with
bunny shot from
Leva Weller with 3.0
seconds left, mak-
ing it a 32-15 Lady
Green lead.
The third quar-
ter started with
Ottoville continu-
ing from the second
quarter. Kramer hit
a 3 from the right
wing to start the scor-
ing. The quarter went on with
Ottoville slowly widening
the lead. The pressure was
building on Continental and
came out at the end of the
quarter; Williamson let out
her frustrations on Ottoville
senior Megan Bendele, push-
ing her down with a shove and
resulting in a intentional foul.
Bendele hit both free shots
with no time left on the clock
for a 50-24 Lady Green lead.
They dont miss very
much and that is hard to take,
Continental coach Jaaci Carr
relayed. I think we closed
out on the shooters; they just
knocked shots in. Our girls
played hard and I did not see
any of them hanging their
heads after the game and that
is all I can ask for.
Ottoville scored first in the
fourth with a bunny shot from
Beining. The Lady Pirates
answered right back with
Williamson nailing her own.
The quarter both teams kept
close to the same margin. The
largest lead was with 3:39 left
in the game as sophomore
Tonya Kaufman hit a basket to
put the Lady Green up by 32
as the benches were clearing.
It is all about confidence
and we showed a lot of con-
fidence tonight, Kleman
added.
Continental ends it season
at 10-12.
Ottoville moves on to the
district to take on Jefferson
6:15 p.m. at Lima Senior.
On the other side, the
third quarter broke open the
floodgates of scoring for both
Kalida and Grove, compiling
more points then than they
did in the entire first half as
Kalida led 11-9 at the half.
The quarter started off with
Columbus Grove senior Anna
Ricker canning a 5-foot runner
to tie the game up for the first
time all evening. Kalida, who
led the whole first half, came
back with a layup from junior
Summer Holtkamp but Ricker
scored again from the right
side to tie it. Holtkamp again
scored in traffic but Ricker
(8 points) tied it once more.
Kalida senior Nicole Kaufman
put them back on top with a
bunny shot at 5:17 but Groves
Nikki Stechschulte retied it.
Once more, the teams answered
each other: Kalidas Haley
McIntyre hit two free throws
and Sydney McCluer laid in a
bunny shot as Grove tied it for
the final time at 19 with 3:28
left in the third. The tide started
back for Kalida with Kaufman
getting the layup-and-the-foul
for a 3-point game. Groves
Breanne Halker hit the front
end of two to pull back within
two. Holtkamp hit a 5-foot
jumper and Kaufman, Kalidas
top scorer with 13, hit Kalidas
only three on the night to make
it a 7-point game with 41 sec-
onds left. The final basket in
the quarter was Stechschulte
connecting on her shot to end
the quarter 27-22, Kalida.
The difference between
the first and second half was
we hit some shots. Columbus
Grove also came out hitting
shots. Fortunately, we were
able to shut them down when
we needed to, Kalida coach
Adam Huber commented.
The fourth quarter started
like the game went most of
the night. The turnovers hurt
both teams but was a plague
to Columbus Grove. The turn-
over they had at the begin-
ning gave them 23, more than
their 22 points. The first score
came from McCluers two
free throws to pull to within
27-24 but that was the closest
point for the rest of the game.
Kalida kept inching its lead up
the rest of the game.
Our girls executed our
game plan on defense to per-
fection and I was really proud
of them, Huber added.
The first two quarters were
two different tales. The two
teams had trouble scoring but
Kalida hit the basket a few
more times in the first. Kalida
got the first five points in the
first 2:06. Columbus Grove
got on the board at the 4:57
mark: two Ricker foul shots;
which were the total points
scored for the Lady Bulldogs.
Kalida scored five more points
in the first quarter; three from
the charity stripe and putback
by McIntyre. The quarter
ended with Kalida up 8-2.
Turnovers were the key
to the game. We did not get
the looks that we wanted,
Columbus Grove coach Chad
Ricker remarked. They also
got to the foul line more; 29
times to our 10. The back-
breaker in the game for us
was when Kaufman nailed
that 3-pointer late in the third
quarter for them. We were
right with them until then.
The second quarter started
with turnovers and fouls until
McIntyre nailed a 6-foot jump-
er at the 6:04 mark. Kalidas
only other point came from
the foul line. Grove got a 3 for
its first points of the quarter at
5:07. Their next bucket was a
3 at 2:15. The last point of the
first half came from Kalida
senior Brandi Merschman, hit-
ting the back end of two with
31 seconds left as the first half
closed with Kalida up 11-9.
Kalida improves to 12-9
and will play Spencerville in
the second game Thursday at
Lima Senior.
Columbus Grove closes
out its season at 10-12.

By DAVID GERMAIN
LOS ANGELES The
Artist won five Academy
Awards on Sunday including
best picture, becoming the
first silent film to triumph at
Hollywoods highest honors
since the original Oscar cer-
emony 83 years ago.
Among other prizes for
the black-and-white comic
melodrama were best actor
for Jean Dujardin and direc-
tor for Michel Hazanavicius.
In a night of few sur-
prises, the other top Oscars
went to Meryl Streep as best
actress for The Iron Lady,
Octavia Spencer as support-
ing actress for The Help
and Christopher Plummer
as supporting actor for
Beginners.
The Artist is the first
silent winner since the World
War I saga Wings was
named outstanding picture at
the first Oscars in 1929 had
a silent film earned the top
prize.
I am the happiest director
in the world, Havanavicius
said, thanking the cast, crew
and canine co-star Uggie. I
also want to thank the finan-
cier, the crazy person who
put money in the movie.
The other wins for The
Artist were musical score
and art direction. Martin
Scorseses Paris adventure
Hugo also won five Oscars,
all in technical categories.
Streeps win was her first
Oscar in 29 years, since she
won best actress for Sophies
Choice. She had lost 12
times in a row since then.
Streep also has a support-
ing-actress Oscar for 1979s
Kramer vs. Kramer.
When they called my
name, I had this feeling I
could hear half of America
go, Oh, no, why her again?
But whatever, Streep said,
laughing.
I really understand Ill
never be up here again. I real-
ly want to thank all my col-
leagues, my friends. I look out
here and I see my life before
my eyes, my old friends, my
new friends. Really, this is
such a great honor but the
thing that counts the most
with me is the friendship and
the love and the sheer job
weve shared making moves
together, said Streep, the
record-holder with 17 acting
nominations.
Streep is only the fifth
performer to receive three
Oscars. Jack Nicholson,
Ingrid Bergman and Walter
Brennan all earned three,
while Katharine Hepburn
won four.
It was a night that went as
expected, with front-runners
claiming key prizes. Streeps
triumph provided a bit of
drama, since she had been in
a two-woman race with Viola
Davis for The Help.
The biggest surprise may
have been the length of the
show, which clocked in at
about three hours and 10
minutes, brisk for a ceremony
that has run well over four
hours some years.
The 82-year-old Plummer
became the oldest acting win-
ner ever for his role as an
elderly widower who comes
out as gay in Beginners.
Youre only two years
older than me, darling,
Plummer said, addressing his
Oscar statue in this 84th year
of the awards. Where have

MARCH is National Colorectal Cancer
Awareness Month

Things to DoNow that Im 50
If you are 50 years old or older, YOU are at risk for colon cancer,
even if you do not have a family history or symptoms.
While Colorectal Cancer is often found after symptoms appear,
most people with early colon or rectal cancer have no symptoms of the
disease. Symptoms often appear only with more advanced disease.
That is why getting the recommended screening tests
BEFORE symptoms develop is so important.

Colon polyps are the seeds for colon cancer
By finding and removing them,
we hope to keep the garden clear

84th Academy Award winners
you been all my life? I
have a confession to make.
When I first emerged from
my mothers womb, I was
already rehearsing my Oscar
speech.
The previous oldest win-
ner was best-actress recipient
Jessica Tandy for Driving
Miss Daisy, at age 80.
Completing an awards-
season blitz that took her
from Hollywood bit player to
star, Spencer won for her role
in The Help as a headstrong
black maid whose willful
ways continually land her in
trouble with white employers
in 1960s Mississippi.
Spencer wept through-
out her breathless speech,
in which she apologized
between laughing and crying
for running a bit long on her
time limit.
Thank you, academy, for
putting me with the hottest
guy in the room, Spencer
said, referring to last years
supporting-actor winner
Christian Bale, who present-
ed her Oscar.
Dujardin became the first
Frenchman to win an act-
ing Oscar. French actresses
have won before, including
Marion Cotillard and Juliette
Binoche.
Oh, thank you. Oui. I
love your country! said
Dujardin, who plays George
Valentin, a silent-film super-
star fallen on hard times as
the sound era takes over. If
George Valentin could speak,
Dujardin said, hed say ...
Wow! Merci beaucoup!
Genial! Formidable!

BP, plaintiffs focus on Gulf oil spill settlement
By HARRY R. WEBER and
MICHAEL KUNZELMAN
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS Nearly two years
after his brother Gordon was killed in the
Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, Chris
Jones had planned to drive in from Baton
Rouge with other relatives to attend the start
of the federal trial over the nations worst
offshore oil disaster.
But Jones learned Sunday that a judge had
delayed the start of the trial from today to
March 5 because oil giant BP PLC was mak-
ing progress in settlement talks with a com-
mittee overseeing scores of lawsuits. Jones
said he has mixed feelings about the prospect
of a settlement, adding that he would be dis-
appointed if BP manages to write a check to
solve their problems.
I was ready to go to trial and see their
feet held close to the fire, he said Sunday. It
seems like the easy way out to pay whatever
the plaintiffs are willing to take.
Two people close to the case told The
Associated Press the decision to postpone was
made Sunday during a conference call between
parties in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill case and
U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier. They spoke
on condition of anonymity because they were
not authorized to discuss the call.
They said the judge told those on the
call that BP and the Plaintiffs Steering
Committee were making some progress in
their settlement talks. The steering committee
is overseeing lawsuits filed by individuals
and businesses following the explosion on
the Deepwater Horizon rig on April 20, 2010.
The blast killed Gordon Jones and 10 other
workers and led to 206 million gallons of
oil spewing from the blown-out well, soiling
miles of coastline.
However, the judge did not mention the
status of settlement talks between other par-
ties, nor did he mention any figures being
discussed, according to the people close to
the case.
The brief order issued by Barbier on
Sunday said only that the delay was granted
for reasons of judicial efficiency and to
allow the parties to make further progress in
their settlement discussions.
Among other things, the trial that is now
set to begin March 5 is meant to determine the
penalties that need to be paid by BP and other
companies involved in the oil spill. Billions of
dollars are at stake.
BP and the Plaintiffs Steering Committee
confirmed in a joint news release that the trial
had been delayed. It said the oil giant and the
PSC were working to reach an agreement that
would fairly compensate people and busi-
nesses affected by the Deepwater Horizon
accident and oil spill.
There can be no assurance that these dis-
cussions will lead to a settlement agreement,
the joint statement said.
Separately, BP has had discussions in
recent days with the federal government
and cement contractor Halliburton Energy
Services Inc., according to several people
close to the case.
If no settlement is reached, Barbier will
preside over a three-phase trial that could last
the better part of a year. The first phase is
designed to identify the causes of the deadly
blowout and to assign percentages of fault to
the companies involved in the ill-fated drill-
ing project.
Financial analysts estimate BP could wind
up paying anywhere from $15 billion to $30
billion over the lawsuits, and BP has estimat-
ed in regulatory filings that its total liability
for the disaster is $40 billion.
An AP analysis found that the company
could conceivably face up to $52 billion in
environmental fines and compensation if the
judge determines the company was grossly
negligent.
The trial may not yield major revelations
about the causes of the disaster, but the out-
come could bring much-needed relief for tens
of thousands of people and businesses whose
livelihoods were disrupted by the spill.
Relatives of the 11 people killed in the
Deepwater Horizon blast say they are hoping
for something more elusive: justice for lost
loved ones.
Sheryl Revette, whose husband, Dewey,
was also among the 11 killed when BP PLCs
Macondo well blew out and triggered an
explosion on the drilling rig, doesnt have
anything to gain financially from the trial. She
wants an apology from the oil giant, some-
thing she said she hasnt received yet.
Ive never heard a word from them, said
Revette, 48, of State Line, Miss. But an apol-
ogy isnt going to bring my husband back.
The decisions and actions that led to the
explosion and spill already have been pains-
takingly investigated by the Coast Guard, fed-
eral regulators and a presidential commission.
Their probes concluded that BP, rig owner
Transocean Ltd. and Halliburton deserve to
share the blame for a string of risky decisions
that were designed to save time and money.
Clinton wants Syrians to abandon Assad
By MATTHEW LEE
Associated Press
RABAT, Morocco
Syrians in the military and
business who still support
President Bashar Assad
should turn against him, U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton said Sunday.
The longer you support
the regimes campaign of
violence against your broth-
ers and sisters, the more it
will stain your honor. If you
refuse, however, to prop up
the regime or take part in
attacks on your fellow citi-
zens, your countrymen and
women will hail you as
heroes, Clinton said at a
news conference in Morocco
as she conveyed a message to
those holdouts backers of the
embattled leader.
Syrias authoritarian govern-
ment held a referendum on a
new constitution Sunday, but
the opposition deemed it an
empty gesture and the West dis-
missed the vote as a sham.
Activists estimate close
to 7,500 people have been
killed in the 11 months since
Assads crackdown on dis-
sent began.
Assad would have the
Syrian people believe that it is
only terrorists and extremists
standing against the regime.
But that is wrong, Clinton
said. So many Syrians are
suffering under this relentless
shelling. All Syrians should
be working together to seek a
better future.
Clinton was among the
international officials who
discussed the crisis during a
conference Friday in Tunisia.
They are trying to develop a
united strategy to push Assad
from power and they began
planning a civilian peace-
keeping mission to deploy
after his government falls.

Act of Valor
storms box office
By JAKE COYLE
NEW YORK On Oscar
weekend, the real-life action
stars of Act of Valor bested
Hollywoods pretend heroes.
The Relativity Media action
flick, starring real, active-duty
U.S. Navy SEALs, topped the
weekend box office, earning
$24.7 million according to stu-
dio estimates Sunday. That was
a strong opening for a unique
film made in collaboration with
the Navy, which sought to dem-
onstrate the skill and bravery of
the SEALs without Hollywood
imitation.
How often can you repeat
the same heroes that are big stars
pretending to be heroes? said
Kyle Davies, president of world-
wide distribution for Relativity. I
think moviegoers are ready for a
new, fresh experience.
Act of Valor led another
strong weekend at the box office,
as it was up 24.4 percent over
the corresponding weekend last
year. Attendance this year is up
20.4 percent, a surge that hasnt
been driven by Academy Awards
contenders but by new films in a
traditionally tepid movie-going
season.
The newcomers this year
have just been igniting the box
office, said Paul Dergarabedian,
box office analyst for Hollywood.
com. Its a very competitive
marketplace for both the Oscar
contenders and the newcomers.
Lionsgates Tyler Perrys
Good Deeds, a more dramatic
offering for the consistently pop-
ular Perry, opened with a healthy
$16 million. Its audience was
resoundingly female (76 per-
cent) and may have been slight-
ly diminished by the appeal of
Denzel Washington in the thriller
Safe House. That earned $11.4
million, bringing its cumulative
total to $98.1 million.
The weekends other new
releases the thriller Gone
and the comedy Wanderlust
had weaker debuts. The lat-
ter, a comedy with Paul Rudd
and Jennifer Aniston, earned $6.6
million. Gone, starring Amanda
Seyfried, took in $5 million.
In their third week of release,
Sonys romantic drama The
Vow and Warner Bros. family
film Journey 2: The Mysterious
Island padded their totals.
Journey added $13.5 mil-
lion for a total of $76.7 million,
while The Vow added $10 mil-
lion more for a cumulative $103
million.
The success of Act of Valor
validated an unusual strategy for
Relativity, a production company
that began distributing movies
in 2010.
Relativity purchased the film,
independently produced by the
Bandito Brothers, for $13 mil-
lion. It stoked interest through
more than 400 advance screen-
ings and a robust TV ad cam-
paign that included Super Bowl
commercials. Its marketing bud-
get was reportedly approximately
$30 million.
Though the film garnered poor
reviews, audiences gave it an A,
according to CinemaScore. It has
resonated with males, who made
up 71 percent of the audience.
Internationally, the film,
which plays much as patriotic
propaganda, may face a stiffer
challenge. It will open in foreign
markets in future weeks, distrib-
uted by Film Nation.
Davies said the film was a
question mark going into the
weekend because of a lack of
comparative films, but added that
hes optimistic about its global
prospects.
In the same way we just
didnt know what was going to
happen domestically, its still a
bit of a mystery, said Davies.
You would think because its
very much an American story,
there wont be the same level of
interest. But I think at the end of
the day, if a movie delivers on
an entertainment quotient, then
thats the most important factor.
Ahead of Sunday nights
Academy Awards, no Oscar-
contender finished in the top 10.
Most of the favorites have been
playing for weeks, if not months.
The Weinstein Co.s The
Artist, the silent film ode and
best picture favorite, is the only
top award nominee still expand-
ing its market. The film, which
had a very slow rollout, added
158 theaters this weekend.
In its 14th week, it earned $3
million to bring its total to $31.9
million.
Not a lot of people have seen
it, so theres a lot of room left for
The Artist to add box office,
said Dergarabedian. The Artist
has a lot to gain from (Sundays)
telecast.
Fox Searchlights Oscar-
nominated The Descendants,
in its 15th week, took in $2.2 mil-
lion, raising its total to $78.5 mil-
lion. Paramounts Hugo added
$1.6 million to bring its haul to
$69.4 million.
Disneys The Help
remained, by far, the most popu-
lar best picture nominee at the
box office, with a total of $169.7
million.
But on its biggest night,
Hollywood can celebrate its
strong theatrical business after
a sluggish end to 2011 spurred
much hand-wringing about the
future of movie-going.
Its fantastic, said David
Spitz, head of worldwide distri-
bution of Lionsgate. It seems
like its cyclical, where everyone
starts saying, Well, admissions
are down. Then all of sudden,
(theyre up). ... It certainly bodes
well for this year.
Estimated ticket sales for

Friday through Sunday at U.S.
and Canadian theaters, according
to Hollywood.com. Where avail-
able, latest international numbers
are also included. Final domestic
figures will be released today.
1. Act of Valor, $24.7 mil-
lion.
2. Tyler Perrys Good
Deeds, $16 million.
3. Journey 2: The Mysterious

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2012
In the year ahead, there are strong
indications that you will be entering
an extremely creative period. During
this cycle theres an excellent chance
that you could develop some type of
useful product for which there will be
a boffo market.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Be extremely careful not to let
pessimistic thinking dominate your
optimistic viewpoint. If you do, youll
allow defeat to carry the day, when
you could instead easily triumph.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Companions might have a difficult
time getting a handle on your mood.
In some instances youll be extremely
kind, while in other cases the Scrooge
in you might come to the fore.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Be careful what you say and to
whom. Someone might quote your
comments out of context and end up
hurting both of you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
If youre not careful, there is a good
chance that youll be intimidated by
your own imagination. Of course,
this can be avoided if you dont
misuse your fertile mind.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Sensing a friends fragile mood, the
timing might not be exactly right to
remind him or her about an overdue
financial obligation. Youve waited
this long, tarry a bit longer if you
can.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
When seeking advice concerning a
troublesome situation, dont settle for
just one persons opinion. Numerous
points of view might provide you
with a great, collective answer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
The ideas or suggestions of someone
in the family might be superior to
your thoughts on handling a delicate
situation. Dont allow your ego to
block your eardrums.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If
youre smart, you wont waste a lot
of time looking for easy outs. The
road youre on might be difficult, but
you can overcome any obstacles and
will even take pride in doing so.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
An arrangement that youre involved
in might be of dubious value, so
dont rely upon another person too
heavily. Even if the road is bumpy,
you will be better off overcoming all
the obstacles yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- When it comes to serving your
own self-interest, youre likely to be
extremely productive, but if you are
required to help out another, your
faculties could suddenly shut down.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Think twice before investing
in a situation about which you know
little to nothing. You could end up
buying into a pie-in-the-sky scheme,
all because you were enticed by a
delicious description.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
If there isnt something in it for you,
youre apt to be reluctant to extend
yourself in any way. However, if
there are personal gains to be made,
itll be another story.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY29, 2012
Improve upon what youve
accomplished in the past by elevating
your objectives and expectations
in the year ahead. Youll be in an
excellent achievement cycle during
this period, but itll still be up to you
to make the most of it.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- When left to your own devices,
youre likely to exercise a lot of
initiative and will accordingly get
things done. Conversely, if you
feel youre being pushed into doing
something, youll balk.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- When dealing with a person with
whom youve had some kind of
problem in the past, youre likely to
focus only on what bugged you about
him or her and not on the present
situation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
When other peoples assets are put
in your hands, consider it a sacred
trust. Bend over backward to live up
to the expectations of those who have
placed their faith in you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Be protective of your self-interest,
but dont go to extremes about
guarding your position. Be willing to
adjust to the will of others when you
believe it to be necessary.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Youll only have yourself to blame if
you do things that you know will go
against your best interest. Make sure
you fully consider the consequences
of your actions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
You are generally a good shopper
when you put your mind to it, but
if some irresistible luxury items are
dangled in front of you, all your good
intentions could quickly fly out the
window.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Do not leave the making of a
personally important decision totally
up to another. Abdicating your rights
could lead to complications that only
you might suffer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Co-workers will resent it if they feel
that you are acting in a superior way
toward them. If youre not careful,
you could quickly slip into this mode
when placed in a leadership position.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Its essential to make sure your
counterpart is a capable one when
dealing together in a financial venture.
Youll need to work in harmony to
positively affect the bottom line.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- You wont be at your best when
forced to make a decision under
pressure. Take control so that youll
have time to weigh and balance
things at your own pace.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Remember, you are the master
of your own fate when making and
keeping pledges to others. No one
will be forgiving if you break your
promise and fail to do as you say.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Relying on your hunches regarding
a speculative risk is a bad idea. If you
think an irrational urge is instead an
intuitive perception, you could get
yourself in real trouble fast.
