Getting to know ... ... a recovering heroin addict

By ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT Its just a matter of days for Johnny Murphy. The local 28-year-old Van Wert man is admittedly a heroin addict but for 204-plus days, he has been clean. I did a lot of things during my addiction that arent me, he admitted. I dont try to blame it all on that. Im not avoiding any responsibility for my actions but [the heroin] really does change you. Murphy has had issues with drugs since he was 19. Then in 2008, an impacted wisdom tooth sent him to the dentist. To get through until surgery could be scheduled, he was given a prescription for vicodin. He remembered: When I took them, I thought that it was helping with the pain but I felt great! Mentally, they made me feel good. I had the surgery, they gave me one more prescription, then I ran out. From there it went to How can I get more? From 2008 through late 2010, Id get them wherever I could doctors, buy them off the street. Murphy described a problem that kept escalating to the point where he was spending more money on pills than on anything else. Then one day, he tried to get more from his dealer but the dealer was out of vicodin. But he did have something else that could do the trick; heroin. It was stronger. I knew it was stronger. I knew I could do less. And it was cheaper. It was more readily available. It was always there, he said. Murphy moved on to heroin. It was a step that would change him. His attitude changed. His whole life became about getting more heroin; not just for the high but to keep the sickness from withdrawal from the drug

away. His relationships with friends and family became strained due to a personality change. He snapped at family members, participated on Internet discussion sites by insulting and ridiculing others and was generally being unpleasant to most everyone. He said his wife, who had overlooked the pill use, wanted him to stop but he was in deep. And the drug was everywhere. In Van Wert, its here but its not as cheap as everybody thinks. Dayton is where its cheap. I started out here and I was just going to do a little bit. I never thought I would shoot it up, I never thought I would use a needle; I always looked down on people who did, Murphy explained. It started slow and next thing you know, Im driving to Dayton and coming back. At the end, I was up to using like two to three grams a day. At that point, Murphy was going through more than $600 worth of heroin each day but didnt have to come up with the cash for all of it. The important part was making sure he could get it to keep the withdrawal sickness away. It turned into every day

Murphy being about that. It wasnt about getting high any more, it was about not getting sick. You dont realize it until you are in it that you cant stop, Murphy admitted. I didnt realize it would be so hard for me to quit. I think the big thing with it is that youre so sick when you stop and you know that relief is just so easy to get. Thats what did it.

VAN WERT An indictment against a Van Wert County woman accused of shooting her mother was handed down by the Van Wert Grand Jury on Friday. Tamara K. Menke, 47, is expected to be arraigned in Van Wert County Court of Common Pleas this morning. The actual charges on the indictment have not yet been released. She was original charged in Van Wert Municipal Court with murder. Menke was the focus of a dragnet in the western part of the county on Nov. 14 after two people were shot on South Fulton Street in Van Wert around 6 p.m. that night. One of the shooting victims was Barbara Robinson, Menkes mother. Robinson died of her injuries while being transported to a hospital in Fort Wayne. The other shooting victim, reported to be Menkes father, survived his injuries. Upon arriving at the scene, police were told the two had been shot with a .22-caliber rifle and that the firearm was out of ammunition when the shooter left the house. A search was begun for Menke. That search continued through the evening hours. Menke was located and arrested the next morning at her residence on Brittsan Road. Menke appeared in Van Wert Municipal Court on Nov. 15 and was ordered held on a $1 million cash bond.

Today is Monday, Dec. 9, the 343rd day of 2013. There are 22 days left in the year. Todays Highlight in History: On Dec. 9, 1987, the first Palestinian intefadeh, or uprising, began as riots broke out in Gaza and spread to the West Bank, triggering a strong Israeli response. On this date: In 1608, English poet John Milton was born in London. In 1854, Alfred, Lord Tennysons famous poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade, was published in England. In 1911, an explosion inside the Cross Mountain coal mine near Briceville, Tenn., killed 84 workers. (Five were rescued.) In 1912, longtime House Speaker Thomas Tip ONeill was born in Cambridge, Mass. In 1940, British troops opened their first major offensive in North Africa during World War II. In 1942, the Aram Khachaturian ballet Gayane, featuring the surging Sabre Dance, was first performed by Russias Kirov Ballet.

In 1958, the anti-communist John Birch Society was formed in Indianapolis. In 1962, the Petrified Forest in Arizona was designated a national park. In 1971, Nobel Peace laureate Ralph Bunche died in New York. In 1982, special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski died at his Wimberley, Texas, ranch at age 77. In 1984, the five-day-old hijacking of a Kuwaiti jetliner that claimed the lives of two Americans ended as Iranian security men seized control of the plane, which was parked at Tehran airport. In 1992, Britains Prince Charles and Princess Diana announced their separation. (The couples divorce became final Aug. 28, 1996.) Ten years ago: The owners of a Rhode Island nightclub and the tour manager for the rock band Great White were indicted on charges related to a fire the previous February that killed 100 people. A suicide bomber killed five victims outside an exclusive Moscow hotel. Former Vice President Al Gore endorsed Howard Dean for the Democratic presidential nomination. Former Sen. Paul Simon, D-Ill., died in Springfield, Ill., at age 75.

Putnam and Paulding commissioners approve HealthPath Foundation contract for housing out-of-county prisoners awards health care grants
BY NANCY KLINE DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTAWA A contract approved last month between the Putnam County and Paulding County Commissioners will provide a steady, consistent stream of money for Putnam Countys Adult Detention Center. Putnam County has agreed to house Paulding County prisoners for $250,000 annually through Dec. 31, 2015. In the past, Putnam County charged Paulding County a set fee per night and per prisoner for housing out-of-county prisoners. The new contract was designed like some counties who have agreements with another county. That is a flat rate for so many beds, whether they are full or not, said Putnam County Commissioner John Love. He said the figure is consistent and not based on the number of prisoners housed in Putnam County. According to figures from the Putnam County Auditors office, Paulding County paid Putnam County $239,865.94 to house prisoners at the Putnam County Adult Detention Center in 2012. As of Nov. 19, 2013, Paulding County has paid $303,426. This included paying for boarding of prisoners through September. The average cost monthly for boarding Paulding County prisoners in Putnam County during 2013 has ranged from $20,025-$36,171. For Paulding County Sheriff Jason Landers, the agreement came down to dollars and cents. Love said earlier this year, Sheriff Michael Chandler expressed concerns to the Putnam County Commissioners that Paulding County officials were considering housing their prisoners in another county if they could save money. Love said Putnam County officials wanted to keep this revenue stream. He also felt the county had a good working relationship with Paulding County on housing prisoners. Following discussions between Putnam and Paulding county officials, Commissioners Love and Travis Jerwers, along with Putnam County Sheriff Mike Chandler, met with the Paulding County Commissioners and their sheriff to work out a contract. This meeting was held in executive session. At the conclusion of the session, an agreement was reached where Paulding County will pay Putnam County quarterly installments of $62,500 until the end of 2015. PUTNAM COUNTY Six organizations serving Allen, Auglaize, Hancock, Hardin, Putnam and Van Wert counties will receive up to $7,500 from The HealthPath Foundation of Ohio (HPF-Ohio) for projects that will increase access to health care, including primary, oral, specialty and behavioral health care. Specifically, grantees will address barriers to health care, such as lack of insurance, lack of providers, language and cultural issues and transportation. These grants are part of HPF-Ohios Community Connections initiative, which awarded 36 grants totaling over $262,180 to nonprofit organizations across the state of Ohio. Organizations were each awarded regular grants of $5,000 and additional challenge grants of up to $2,500. These challenge grants will match money raised dollar-for-dollar up to $2,500 total. Compassionate Care (Shelby County) will receive up to $7,500 to help add eight hours per week to the nurse practitioner schedule, enabling 100 additional patient visits a month. Dental Center of Northwest Ohio (Hancock and Van Wert counties) will receive up to $7,500 to provide dental sealants to 749 children in 11 schools. Family Health Care of Northwest Ohio, Inc., (Allen, Mercer, Putnam and Van Wert counties) will receive up to $7,500 to do a feasibility study to provide dental care for 4,000 individuals in a three-county area who currently do not have access to a dentist. Health Partners of Western Ohio (Clark, Greene, Miami and Montgomery counties) received $7,500 to provide outreach and enrollment assistance to Hispanic/Latino families to complete 400 Medicaid /Insurance Exchange applications. Partnership for Violence Free Families (Allen, Auglaize and Hardin counties) received $7,500 to certify six persons as Mental Health First Aid Program Trainers and implement 12 trainings for 120 professionals. The HealthPath Foundation of Ohio (HPF-Ohio), a $24 million supporting organization of The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, is committed to helping all Ohioans, regardless of status, wealth or circumstances, achieve their fullest health potential. Since 1999, HPF-Ohio has awarded more than $14 million in grants to address Auctioneer Jade Montrie, who handled the estate sale said some of the most pressing, yet neglected, health issues faced by a few hundred of Bensons signed and canceled checks went Ohios vulnerable population access to health care, prevention of family violence and preventive oral health. for $900.

Commissioner Vince Schroeder said he voted no on the proposal because of the amount. I still wanted to keep prisoners here but said I would only approve a contract for $300,000 or more, he said. Schroeder said he was basing that figure on the amount received by Putnam County from Paulding County during the first three quarters of 2013. The numbers are going up and I felt we should have asked for more in the contract, Schroeder added. Paulding County was the only source of income for housing outof-county prisoners in 2012. During 2013, Wood County, Van Wert County, Defiance County, Defiance Police Department and Wyandot County used the Putnam County Adult Detention Center to house their prisoners. According to figures from the auditors office, Putnam County received $40,821 as of Nov. 19, from these counties. This is in addition to the $303,426 paid by Paulding County. Information submitted

Items from Nancy Drew author sold auction

TOLEDO (AP) Typewriters and a desk from the home of the original author of the Nancy Drew mystery books, along with a book detailing how the series was created, were auctioned in Ohio on Sunday. The items were among a lifetime of keepsakes, including autographed posters and writing awards, belonging to Mildred Wirt Benson that sold at an auction in Toledo, where she was a newspaper reporter and columnist for nearly 60 years before her death a decade ago. Benson wrote more than 130 books, including the 1940s Penny Parker mystery series, but she is best known for the Nancy Drew books that inspired and captivated generations of girls. She wrote 23 of the 30 original Nancy Drew stories using the pseudonym Carolyn Keene. Paid $125 per book, she never collected any royalties. Benson died in 2002 at 96 and left her home and possessions to her only daughter, Peggy Wirt, who died in January. A copy of Rediscovering Nancy Drew that details how the series was created and was inscribed for her daughter drew a gavel price of $2,150 Sunday. A typewriter went for $825, and a desk for $525. A 10-book set by science-fiction writer Andre Norton, who had a personal relationship with Benson, was also auctioned. Nine of the 10 books were signed to Benson and the collection, along with some letters, had a gavel price of $3,200.

Anniversary

In 2nd week, Frozen tops box office with $31.6M

NEW YORK (AP) In its second weekend at the box office, the Disney animated tale Frozen finally cooled off The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, while the weeks lone new wide-release Out of the Furnace wasnt a match for either blockbuster. According to studio estimates Sunday, Frozen led the multiplexes with a haul of $31.6 million over the weekend, taking over the top spot from Catching Fire. Lionsgates Hunger Games sequel had topped the box office for the last two weeks, but slid to second with $27 million in its third week of release. Relativity Medias steel-town drama Out of the Furnace, starring Christian Bale and Casey Affleck, posed no challenge for the bigger blockbuster holdovers. It opened with $5.3 million, good enough for third place on whats typically a quiet early December weekend, sandwiched between Thanksgiving and the coming holiday season releases. But it was an excellent weekend for Hollywood, with box office up 16.9 percent over the same weekend last year. Opening in a limited release of four theaters, the Coen brothers folk tale Inside Llewyn Davis also had one of the years highest per-theater averages of $100,500 for CBS Films. With only a handful of moviegoing weeks left in the year, the strong weekend boosts the years chances of exceeding 2012s record box office. This year may surpass last years $10.8 billion domestic box office, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for boxoffice tracker Rentrak. Were running just slightly ahead of last years record pace, said Dergarabedian. Its going to be really close. Dergarabedian expects next weeks big release, Warner Bros. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, to open in the neighborhood of Peter Jacksons first Hobbit film, An Unexpected Journey, which debuted with $84.6 million last year. This weekends new releases were minimal since The Hobbit is expected to dominate the marketplace next weekend. Both Frozen and Catching Fire continued to show legs around the world. Catching Fire added $44.3 million internationally, bringing its global cumulative total to $673.4 million over four weeks. With many millions still to come, Catching Fire has already almost equaled the $691.2 million worldwide of the 2012 original. Frozen, too, has found strong business abroad. It added $30.6 million internationally over the weekend. In its second week of limited release, the Weinstein Co.s biopic Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, starring Idris Elba, continued to play in four theaters, earning an average of $19,400 per-theater. The Weinstein Co. has said its not altering the movies release following the death of South African leader Nelson Mandela on Thursday. Mandela opens wide on Christmas. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters,

Billy Joel, 4 others receive Kennedy Center Honors

WASHINGTON (AP) The Piano Man who became one of the worlds best-selling artists of all time with such hits as Just the Way You Are, Uptown Girl and Allentown is being awarded the nations highest honor Sunday for influencing American culture through the arts. Billy Joel joins Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock, opera star Martina Arroyo and actress Shirley MacLaine in receiving the Kennedy Center Honors. All of them have been playing music, dancing or singing since they were children and have never stopped. Joel said the honor stands apart from his six Grammys. This is different. Its our nations capital, he told The Associated Press. This is coming more from my country than just people who come to see me. Its a little overwhelming. The 64-year-old musician born in the Bronx has been playing the piano since he was a boy, growing up on New Yorks Long Island. There was always music in the house, he said. His mother sang. His father played the piano. Impressing girls, though, is what hooked Joel into making a career of music, he said. Joel just announced a 2014 concert series at Madison Square Garden in New York to avoid schlepping around the world, but he still plans to play concerts nationwide. President Barack Obama will salute the honorees Sunday night, and top entertainers will offer tribute performances for each honoree. The show will be broadcast Dec. 29. On Saturday night, Secretary of State John Kerry hosted the honorees for a black-tie dinner at the State Department. Kerry said the artists had blazed trails and redefined the arts and American culture along the way. They are loved by so many, imitated by some, but never ever can they be replaced, Kerry said. We are reminded that the role of arts can also never be replaced. Garth Brooks toasted Joel at the dinner, saying his legacy would live on for generations. He said Joel has a special talent for writing songs about everyday people, from steel workers in Allentown to soldiers fighting in Vietnam in Goodnight Saigon. Music has a wonderful gift, Brooks said. For those that do it right, they can put you in shoes that you would never understand if it wasnt for that song. Santana, 66, a Mexican immigrant who began learning English from American television, is one of only a few Latinos who have received the honor so far. Santana first picked up the guitar after hearing blues and rock n roll on the radio. He has said his career is about bridging cultures and fusing sounds to create something new. He grew up with the Woodstock generation after moving to San Francisco, but is perhaps best known for his album Supernatural. It won nine Grammys. Kerry said Santana brought the beauty of Latin culture and its rhythms and influences to the American mainstream. We love the music you made, not because its Latin, but frankly because it is so very American, Kerry said. Hancock, 73, got his start at the piano at age 7 while growing up in Chicago. Soon he was playing Mozart and discovered jazz in high school. He joined the Miles Davis Quintet in 1963

according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released today. 1.Frozen, $31.6 million ($30.6 million international). 2.The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, $27 million ($44.3 million international). 3.Out of the Furnace, $5.3 million. 4.Thor: The Dark World, $4.7 million ($5.4 million international). 5.Delivery Man, $3.8 million. 6.Homefront, $3.4 million ($1.5 million international). 7.The Book Thief, $2.7 million. 8.The Best Man Holiday, $2.7 million. 9.Philomena, $2.3 million. 10.Dallas Buyers Club, $1.5 million. Estimated weekend ticket sales Friday through Sunday at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for films distributed overseas by Hollywood studios, according to Rentrak: 1. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, $44.3 million. 2. Frozen, $30.6 million. 3. The Four 2, $13 million. 4. No Mans Land, $11 million. 5. Gravity, $10.7 million. 6. The White Storm, $8 million. 7. Captain Phillips, $6.2 million. 8. Carrie, $6 million. 9. Thor: The Dark World, $5.4 million. 10. About Time, $4.6 million.

Daughter wants Pearl Harbor survivors remembered

AKRON (AP) Louella Large holds her index finger and thumb about two inches apart. Thats how much space is devoted in school books to the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, she says. Its not enough for her. Large, president of the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors, is pained thinking about how the stories of the Japanese sneak attack are fading as the number of Pearl Harbor survivors dwindles. She doesnt want the date which will live in infamy as President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed to be forgotten. The American people need to know what our forefathers went through at Pearl Harbor, she said while surrounded by Pearl Harbor memorabilia inside her Osnaburg Township home. Her mission, of course, is getting more difficult with each passing year. Last month, she was notified that 15 survivors had died around the country and those were just the ones she was told about. The U.S. Park Service, which oversees the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument at Pearl Harbor, estimates that there are only 2,000 to 2,500 survivors still living. Even the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association disbanded two years ago because of the advanced age of its members, who are now in their 90s, or at least in their late 80s. Nearly 2,400 people, including military and civilian personnel, were killed during the attack, which pushed the U.S. to enter World War II. Another 1,178 were injured. Larges father, Army Cpl. Harry Cross, who died in 2005 at age 90, was one of the survivors. Her dream is to create a stateside library devoted to Pearl Harbor and filled with memorabilia and even videos of survivors telling their individual stories. Her collection, much of it gathered by her father, includes photos, medals, newspapers and books. She encourages others who dont want to keep memorabilia to send it to the group, which has about 3,500 members. A library would help keep the memories alive for future generations, said Large, 65, who laid a wreath and spoke on Saturdays anniversary at a special ceremony at the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. Her speech included graphic and horrific descriptions. She recounted stories of men in waders and rubber gloves pulling body parts out of the water. Heads falling off charred carcasses. And dead bodies being stacked up inside the hospital. People dont know what our men and women went through, she said ahead of the event. Her voice cracks and her eyes well with tears as she talks about her effort and patriotism in general. For her, its personal a way to both honor her father and keep his memory alive. My mother was my best friend, she said. But my father was my hero. Just like Large, survivor Bernard Comito, 89, of Dalton worries about the memories fading. He once headed a Pearl Harbor Survivors Association chapter that numbered 40. The chapter shut down last year because it was down to one member: Him. Theres no exposure to Pearl Harbor outside of media coverage around the anniversary each year, said Comito, a retired elementary school principal. But he also isnt upset over that, knowing that its inevitable that Pearl Harbor will one day fade into obscurity. That comes naturally with the passing of time, said Kevin Kern, associate professor of history at the University of Akron. He cited traumatic moments in American history such as the assassinations of President Lincoln and President McKinley. ANDY NORTH

and later set out to create his own sounds, fusing jazz, funk, pop, gospel, soul and the blues. He has won an Oscar and 14 Grammy Awards so far. Arroyo found opera while imitating the singers outside an opera workshop when she was growing up in Harlem. Soon she was signing a contract with New Yorks Metropolitan Opera and had a breakthrough with Aida in 1965. She went on to star in the great opera houses of London, Paris and Vienna. Opera star Jessye Norman said Arroyo, now 76, has a voice that makes you happy to be alive, just to be in her audience. MacLaine, 79, has been acting on stage and screen for six decades ever since she began ballet at age 3. Her film debut came in 1955s The Trouble with Harry, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and she won the Oscar for best actress for Terms of Endearment in 1983. More recently shes been playing a role in Downton Abbey on PBS. MacLaines younger brother Warren Beatty also has won a Kennedy Center Honor, making them the first brother and sister to both receive the honor.

McKinleys assassination which happened even more recently to a president who was arguably more popular at the time, and was similarly a cause for national mourning is all but forgotten, especially the farther away you get from Canton, he said. Memorial Day was a solemn occasion for Civil War veterans. And the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War and the SpanishAmerican War arent remembered. Kern said hes been studying his students knowledge about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and already has noticed their memories being somewhat limited. We can easily read about events in history books, but it is much harder to get the sense of how those events resonated at the time without eyewitnesses to tell us about them, he said. Comito arrived in Hawaii on Dec. 4, 1941. Only 17 years old and living in California at the time, he had needed his parents permission to enlist in the Navy. He was thrilled with his Hawaiian assignment, because he loved the water and looked forward to surfing. His other passion was airplanes, so he was equally excited to be sent to the Naval Air Station in Kaneohe, which was home to three patrol squadrons. The morning of Dec. 7, Comito and his friend John Halby had wandered into a coconut field because they had never seen coconuts before and they wanted to look at them up close. Thats when they heard an explosion in Kaneohe Bay, where many seaplanes were moored. And then another explosion. Airplanes with red dots on them filled the sky. In that initial moment, he was a frightened teenager as he watched the enemy strafe the seaplanes. He still recalls wondering: Why are they firing at us? If I fire back, will they be mad at me? That fear and hesitation quickly gave way to anger. Comito and Halby grabbed 30-06 Springfield rifles and started shooting. They survived the first wave. But realizing they needed more firepower, they grabbed a 30-caliber repeating rifle and fired away as a second wave bombed the buildings. Their barracks were destroyed. After the second wave, a rumor spread that an invasion was coming. Comito and others made their way into a nearby cane field and waited all night for the land invasion that never came. He recalls being so hungry because he hadnt eaten since the morning of the attack. His anger boiled even hotter when he returned to Pearl Harbor and saw the devastation there. Just a few days earlier, he had marveled at the water. So clear. So pretty. The sun was shining. It was such a beautiful, beautiful blue, said Comito, an aviation metal smith. The contrast when I went back. There was three or four inches of oil on that water just as far as you can see with this massive black, and ships burning. He went on to serve on the USS Avocet, USS Wake Island and USS San Marcos until the war ended. Comito then returned to the U.S., got his GED and went to college, eventually earning a masters degree in education administration. He taught and served in administrative posts at schools for military children in Trinidad, Germany, Japan and Spain before taking a job as principal of Mt. Eaton Elementary School in 1980 because his wife Jackies family is from the area. Comito said his anger is long gone. It faded noticeably during his time teaching in Japan in the 1960s, when he saw the destruction in Hiroshima and found the Japanese people to be courteous and friendly. I have nothing but admiration for the Japanese now, he said.

Hodges, Commodores bomb Wildcat boys LadyCats knock off foul-plagued Jefferson
By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS It was one of those nights for the Perry boys cagers as Bruce Hodges was en fuego Saturday night at The Stage, firing in 40 counters to pace the Commodores to a 78-55 nonleague triumph. The Commodores (2-1) shot 30-of-60 from the floor (10-of-22 long range) for 50 percent, led by Hodges nailing seven triples in the process who added nine boards and seven steals. He got plenty of help from Jared Poling with 21 markers (4 assists, 4 steals) and 10 by Emanuel Luster (9 rebounds). The Wildcats (2-2) who canned 17-of-36 fielders (5-of-10 downtown) for 47.2 percent had their own big scorer as sophomore Trey Smith netted 28 counters (2 bombs and 10-of-10 free throws; 6 caroms) and senior Ross Thompson had another double-double with 13 points and 12 boards. I told everyone that this is the best Perry team in 20 years. They are going to win a lot of game splaying like they did tonight, Jefferson head man Marc Smith explained. Hodges and Poling live in the gymnasium and it showed; I know because they work out with my son, Trey, and I know how much time they spend in the gym. We actually played pretty good defense; thats just how good they are. Many of those shots were simply unguardable. It took a quarter for Perry to really get cooking. In the first period, the Commodores used their full-court pressure to bother the Wildcats, forcing seven of their 26 miscues up-tempo game, not a halfcourt one. Our whole focus has been on playing every minute, every possession, with effort and enthusiasm. The trend continued into the third period as Perry netted 11-of-19. Hodges cooled off with only 11 points but Poling caught fire, knocking down 12. The only other scorer for the visitors was Luster with two. Smith stayed hot for the home team, dropping in 10 points and Thompson added four. The largest lead of the period was 26 58-32 midway through the canto before a single by Jefferson sophomore Dalton Hicks with 25 seconds showing accounted for a 70-47 score. The fourth period saw an 8-8 tie as the only thing left to decide was the final score. Perry ended up 8-of-11 at the line (72.7%), with 24 boards (9 offensive), 12 turnovers and 16 fouls. Jakoby Harvey dished four assists and four steals. Jefferson secured 29 rebounds (6 offensive) and added 11 fouls. Freshman Jace Stockwell delivered five assists and three steals, Hicks three assists and senior Austin Jettinghoff three assists. Perry feeds off the crowd; they are as dependent on emotion as any team I see, good or bad, Coach Smith added. Their defense gets them going, like tonight. They forced us to go faster than we wanted. We had two great performances against us this weekend in Fort Recovery and Perry; we had a couple of great performances as well but it wasnt enough. Well get back into practice and go from here. See WILDCATS, page 8 By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com KALIDA Kalidas girls basketball team took advantage of a foul-plagued Jefferson squad Saturday afternoon to the tune of 54-40 in non-league action at the Wildcat Den in Kalida. The host LadyCats (3-2) fouled out senior Katie Goergens (5 markers) and 6-1 junior sub Shelby Koenig (7 boards) in hitting 22-of39 from the line (56.4%). They were led by the duo of sophomores Kylie Osterhage (25 markers, 9 boards) and Brittany Kahle (12 counters, 4 boards, 3 assists). The visiting Lady Jeffcats (2-3), already without injured senior starters Hannah Sensibaugh and Makayla Culp Binkley from the start of the season, were called for 27 fouls to Kalidas 19 and also shot 25.5 percent from the floor (13-of-51, including 2-of-14 from deep). Junior Brooke Culp led with 11 markers (7 boards, 3 steals) and senior Rileigh Stockwell added 10 (6 rebounds, 3 steals). We put them on the line way too much. We did not play well defensively, which is a concern for us; we depend a lot on our defense, Jefferson mentor Dave Hoffman said. Katie is one of our leading scorers and even with her, weve struggled to score this year. For Kalida coach Adam Huber, it was tough to get on a roll. It was tough playing defense today for both teams. We didnt adjust to how the game was being called today, especially early, he explained. We got to the line a lot Osterhage but we didnt shoot the free throws well enough; we could have built a bigger lead if wed done do. The visitors got in foul trouble from the start, with Goergens picking up her second and third fouls at 2:49 and 2:15, respectively. The hosts utilizing full-court pressure to try and up the tempo didnt commit as many fouls in the first but did force eight miscues. With Delphos only hitting 1-of-8 from the floor versus 4-of-12 for the LadyCats, Kalida took the lead for good at 6-4 on a back-door layin from Osterhage, fed by Kahle, at 3:41. The Maroon and White netted the last 10 markers of the canto, capped by two freebies from junior Nicole Recker at 4.4 seconds, for a 14-4 spread. The foul troubles deepened for both units in the second stanza but especially for the Jeffcats and Goergens, who was whistled for her fourth foul late in the half. The hosts could only down 8-of-16 singles in the span, while Jefferson was 7-of-9 (12-of-19 for the afternoon for 63.2%). Kalidas lead never fell below six 17-11 on a trey by Jefferson senior Gabby Pimpas and was as high as 24-11 (two free throws by junior Makenna Vorst) before two tosses by Jefferson senior Lindsay Deuel with 11.7 ticks showing accounted for a 26-19 halftime scoreboard. Despite Goergens fouling out at 4:36 of the third period and Koenig picking up her fourth at 3:45, the Lady Jeffcats stayed around. Thanks to seven offensive rebounds in the canto (13 for the game versus 12 for the hosts), they managed 5-of-17 from the field to 3-of-10 for Kalida. When Culp drove baseline with 26 seconds showing, the Red and White was within 38-32.

However, they only canned 6-of-17 shots against the Wildcats triangleand-2 defense. With Hodges downing seven markers. On the other end, the Wildcats shot 5-of-9, with Smith nailing both of his triples. His second bomb gave the hosts a 16-13 edge with 48 ticks showing before a transition layin by Hodges with 5.1 ticks on the board made it a 16-15 scoreboard in favor of the hosts. The eruption came in a 30-point second period for the visitors. Hodges in particular was unconscious, nailing 17 markers, including five rainbows, as the Commodores dropped 11-of20 shots. That was fueled by eight more turnovers by the hosts, many of which led to transition looks. Luster added eight counters, while the only Wildcat who had much success was Smith with eight.

Grizzlies claw Beavers By Evan Skilliter Sports information assistant BLUFFTON The Bluffton University men welcomed Franklin College to the Sommer Center on Saturday looking to improve on a 1-0 Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference mark. The Grizzlies, led by Bailey Howards 45 points, had other plans as they outlasted a persistent Beaver squad to take a 92-82 victory home to Indiana. The Beavers got out to an early 4-0 lead after a jumper from junior Brock Homier (Continental) and a layup by senior Dustin Kinn on back-to-back possessions. The Grizzlies responded with a 7-0 run after Terry Sargent hit a layup, Dion Smith converted a jumper and Howard hit his first three of the game to give the visitors a 7-4 lead at the 17:19 mark. The Howard three would prove to result in the only lead change of the afternoon. However, the Beavers kept the game close, only allowing the Grizzlies to stretch the lead to as many as eight points in the first half. After another Howard triple, one of his seven of the game, extended the lead to eight with 5:38 to play in the half, Will Pope tipped in a Jordan Turner miss to cut the lead to six. Kinn followed that with a putback off a Ryan Ebbeskotte (Delphos/Jefferson) miss on the next Beaver possession which trimmed the lead to four. After a few more Howard buckets, Ebbeskotte hit a three and Pope drained two free throws to pull the Beavers within one. Franklin scored the last points of the half, though, as Brett McCory connected on two foul shots to send the Griz into the locker room up by three, 50-47, thanks to 31 points from Howard on 11-of-13 shooting from the field. Franklins Smith scored the first four points of the second half, helping his team out to a 7-point lead. Those points sparked a 12-2 Frankin run that put the visitors up 61-49 with 16:40 remaining in the game. Bluffton responded with 10-0 jag, starting with a Pope layup at the 16:23 mark and ending with a Kinn chip shot with 13:39 to play, bringing the Beavers to within one point of the lead. However, Trae Washington ended the comeback attempt with a threepointer and Franklin never looked back, extending the lead to as many as 13 points before the final horn rang with the visitors on top, 92-82.

Jays, Raiders take top honors at LV Invitational

By JIM COX DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com MIDDLE POINT - Four mats, 14 teams, 146 wrestlers, 326 matches it was a wrestling fans dream at Lincolnview Saturday and a close finish topped it all off. Delphos St. Johns emerged the winner, barely edging Paulding 350.5 to 348. If there was a second winner, it would have to be Wayne Trace. The Raiders, their wrestling squad reduced by a run to Fridays Division VI state championship football game, captured three individual championships George Clemens (106 pounds), Dustin Taylor (113), and Ruger Goeltzenleuchter (126). Wayne Trace also took home the awards for Most Valuable Wrestler (Clemens) and Most Valuable Freshman (Goeltzenleuchter). The Blue Jays won at 120 (Gunnar Lucius), 138 (Justin Siefker), 152 (Austin Martin), and 182 (Wes Buettner). Other local individual winners were Van Werts Andy Hammond at 132 and Delphos Jeffersons Tanner Vermule at 145. Ada was dominant at the higher weights 160 (Austin Windle), 170 (Dylan Hannah), 195 (Jarod Woodland) and 220 (Brady Pitney). Pauldings Justin Shepherd took the title at 285. St. Johns had 15 wrestlers present, at least one in every weight class except 106. In addition to the Jays four winners, they had a fourth place from Avery Martin at 113, third from Evan Mohler at 132, fourth from Brett Vonderwell at 145, second from Alex Haunhorst at 170 and a fourth from Austin Schulte at 220. Lucius, Siefker and Buettner were 5-0 in the meet. Austin Martin was 4-0. Mohler was 4-1, Haunhorst 4-1, Avery Martin 3-2, Schulte 3-2 and Vonderwell 2-2. Wayne Trace had only eight wrestlers at the meet, none heavier than 152. Clemens was dominant, winning his four matches with three pins and a 21-6 technical fall. Taylor won all five of his matches two pins, an 18-3 technical fall and two major decisions, 13-2 and 15-1. Goeltzenleuchter was 5-0 four pins and a 17-2 technical fall. Besides those three champions, the Raiders only other high placer was Zaine Cotterman, who took third at 145 and was 4-1 for the day. In addition to Hammonds title at 132, Van Wert got high placings from Gabe Hill, second at 220, and Zack Thomas, fourth at 285. The Cougars had 13 wrestlers at the meet, none at 106, 120, 126, 145, or 195. For the day, Hammond and Hill were 4-1. Thomas was 3-2, as was Jacob Crisenberry at 138 and Chandler Adams at 160. Delphos Jefferson was represented by 14 wrestlers, empty at 120, 132 and 138. Besides Vermules win at 145, other high Jeffcat finishers were David Grant (second to Clemens

Pats beat Browns 27-26 with TD after onside kick Bengals beat Colts 42-28 to stay perfect at home
By HOWARD ULMAN Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. This was one impressive comeback, even for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Brady threw two touchdown passes in the final 61 seconds, helping the Patriots rally for a 27-26 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The Patriots (10-3) cut the deficit to 26-21 on Bradys 2-yard touchdown pass to Julian Edelman with 1:01 left. Then Kyle Arrington recovered the onside kick at the Cleveland 40-yard line. The successful recovery was set up by an unnecessary roughness penalty for a hit on Edelman. That allowed the Patriots to kick off from the 50-yard line rather than their 35. Arrington recovered after Clevelands Fozzy Whitaker touched but couldnt control the ball. Brady completed a 10-yard pass to Danny Amendola. Then Leon McFadden was called for defensive pass interference against Josh Boyce in the end zone. That put the ball at the 1 where Brady connected with Amendola again. The Browns (4-9) then moved the ball to the Patriots 40 with 1 second left but Billy Cundiff missed a 58-yard field goal. New England lost tight end Rob Gronkowski to a potentially serious knee injury in the third quarter. Coach Bill Belichick reported after the game that Gronkowski went to a hospital for observation. The Patriots trailed 6-0 at halftime in the fifth time in six games that they were behind at intermission. The deficit grew to 19-3 on Josh Gordons latest long touchdown, an 80-yard catch and run with 1:25 left in the third quarter. New England fell behind 26-14 when Jason Campbell, who missed Clevelands previous game with a concussion, threw his third touchdown pass, a 40-yarder to Gary Barnidge with 2:39 left. But Brady responded with the TD pass to Edelman, and the Patriots were on their way to an important rally that kept them in front in the race for the No. 2 playoff seed in the AFC. Had New England lost the game, Cincinnati would have moved into the second position. The late comeback ruined another brilliant game by Gordon, who had seven catches for 151 yards. It was the third time in four weeks that he scored on pass plays of more than 70 yards. Gordon set an NFL record of 774 yards receiving in four consecutive games. Calvin Johnson set the previous mark of 746 this season. Gordon also set a single-season team record for yards receiving with 1,400. Braylon Edwards established the previous mark of 1,289 in 2007. The Patriots got off to another slow start and trailed at intermission for the fourth consecutive game. Theyve been outscored 57-10 in those first halves. The Browns also struggled offensively in the first half and led 6-0 on field goals of 43 and 37 yards by Cundiff. Gronkowski was hurt when hit by Cleveland safety T.J. Ward after a 21-yard completion. The star tight end missed the first six games of the season recovering from offseason surgeries on his left forearm and back. In his six full games after returning, he led NFL tight ends with 37 catches and 560 yards receiving. By JOE KAY Associated Press CINCINNATI Andy Dalton regained his passing touch on a wintery afternoon, keeping the Cincinnati Bengals firmly in control of the AFC North. Dalton threw for three touchdowns and ran for another on Sunday, giving his best performance since October, and the Cincinnati Bengals remained perfect at home with a 42-28 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The Bengals (9-4) improved to 6-0 at Paul Brown Stadium on a cold, windy day 28 degrees at kickoff with a wind chill of 19 and light flurries. Dalton threw for three touchdowns as the Bengals went up 21-0 and stayed ahead. His 8-yard run finished it off in the fourth quarter. Dalton was 24-of-35 for 275 yards without a sack or interception. BenJarvus Green-Ellis had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs one of them on a review that overturned a call as the Bengals piled up 430 yards. The Colts (8-5) had another slow start in the cold, falling behind 21-0 before Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes to keep them close. They never caught up as Dalton got the better of a head-to-head matchup of up-and-coming quarterbacks from Texas. Despite the loss, the Colts were in position to clinch the AFC South later Sunday if Tennessee lost at Denver. Indianapolis is in good shape but has some concerns. The Colts were drubbed 40-11 in Arizona two games ago and needed Adam Vinatieris five field goals to beat Tennessee 22-14 last week. The Bengals are having their best season at home since 1988, when they won

ond from Alex Rodriguez at 113 and fourth places from Autumn Proctor at 106 and Doug Hicks at 182. Rodriguez was 4-1 for the meet, while Proctor and Hicks went 1-3 and 2-2. Parkways best finish, out of five wrestlers, was a fifth by Dakota Hucke at 170. Hucke won three of his five matches at the meet. Unlike many meets, in this one a team was allowed to enter more than one wrestler in a weight class. Van Wert, for example, had four grapplers three extras in the 285pound class. Team scores: Delphos St. Johns 350.5, Paulding 348, Fairview 326, Spencerville 238, Ada 231, Van Wert 215, Delphos Jefferson 198, Wayne Trace 166, Sidney Lehman Catholic 136, Lincolnview 116, Antwerp 84, Parkway 56, Hicksville 55, Defiance 32.

NFL Capsules

Associated Press DENVER Unbothered by the freezing weather, Matt Prater set an NFL record with a 64-yard field goal and Peyton Manning threw four more touchdown passes Sunday, lifting the Denver Broncos to a 51-28 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The temperature was 14 degrees when Prater kicked his record-setter to close the first half and pull Denver within 21-20. Manning opened the third quarter by leading the Broncos on a pair of touchdown drives and the Broncos (11-2) easily wrapped up a playoff spot. Denvers quarterback set a franchise record with 39 completions and finished with 397 yards. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 172 yards for the Titans (5-8), who went 73 yards in five plays to score on the games first drive and led 21-10 in the middle of the second quarter. EAGLES 34, LIONS 20 PHILADELPHIA LeSean McCoy ran for a franchise-best 217 yards, including touchdowns of 57 and 40 yards, and the Eagles overcame two TD returns by Jeremy Ross in a blizzard. Ross returned a punt 58 yards for a score

and ran a kickoff 98 yards. But McCoy sprinted 57 yards up the middle for a tying TD and Nick Foles connected with Riley Cooper on the 2-point conversion. Foles sneaked in from the 1 and Chris Polk had a 38-yard touchdown run to cap a 28-point fourth quarter for the Eagles (8-5). Snow began falling two hours before kickoff and intensified after the game started. Workers used shovels and handheld blowers to clear off yard lines. Conditions were so poor neither team tried a field goal; there were 2-point conversion attempts after seven of the eight TDs. The Eagles, looking to go worst-to-first in the NFC East, won their fifth straight game and took over sole possession of first place. Dallas can make it a tie for the top spot with a victory at Chicago on Monday night. The Lions (7-6) have a half-game lead over the Bears in the NFC North. RAVENS 29, VIKINGS 26 BALTIMORE Joe Flacco threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to rookie Marlon Brown with 4 seconds left to ice the win. Browns catch concluded a 5-play, 80-yard drive that took only 41 seconds. It came after Matt Cassel threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to Cordarrelle Patterson

with 45 seconds remaining. Just before that, Baltimores Jacoby Jones took a kickoff 77 yards for a score, which followed a 41-yard touchdown run by Toby Gerhart, who had replaced an injured Adrian Peterson (ankle) for Minnesota (3-9-1). The zaniness began when Flacco threw a 1-yard, fourth-down pass to Dennis Pitta with 2:05 go to for a 15-12 Ravens lead. Baltimore (7-6) has its first three-game winning streak of the season and the inside track for the second AFC wild card. 49ERS 19, SEAHAWKS 17 SAN FRANCISCO Phil Dawson kicked a 22-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining and the Niners held off the nemesis Seahawks, denying Seattle a chance to clinch the division at Candlestick Park. Frank Gore broke a 51-yard gain with just more than four minutes left to set up the go-ahead 11-play, 76-yard drive as the 49ers (9-4) kept the playoff-bound Seahawks (112) from grabbing away the West in San Francisco. Dawsons fourth field goal of the day gave him 20 straight converted field goals, a franchise record topping Joe Nedneys 18 consecutive in 2006-07. Russell Wilson threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Luke Willson and Marshawn Lynch ran for an 11-yard score for Seattle, denied a franchise-best sixth road victory. See NFL, page 8

all eight regular-season home games and two playoff games on the way to a second Super Bowl appearance and loss to San Francisco. Theyre in position to clinch their first AFC North title since 2009 with two home games in the last three weeks. Dalton was the AFCs offensive player of the month for October but has been inconsistent since then. He was sharp from the outset on Sunday, completing 6-of-7 for 81 yards on the Bengals first drive, including a 29-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones. The Colts have been outscored 49-9 in the first quarters of their past six games. The Bengals got a pivotal touchdown on a reversed call with 1:06 left in the first half. They went for it on fourth down from the Colts 1-yard line and Green-Ellis tripped and his knee hit at the 1 before he stretched into the end zone. He was initially ruled down he started tripping after nose tackle Josh Chapman dived and swiped at his foot but the officials overturned the call, deciding Green-Ellis had tripped on his own. Trailing 21-0, Luck finally rallied the Colts. He completed a slant pass that DaRick Rogers took 69 yards for a touchdown and another short pass that LaVon Brazill turned into a 19-yard touchdown, slipping through the hands of six defenders. Dalton and the Bengals never let the Colts get closer than seven points. Both teams reconfigured their offensive lines because of injuries. Cincinnatis had a good day in the cold. Dalton wasnt sacked and Green-Ellis and Giovani Bernard ran for a combined 147 yards.

No. 7 Ohio State-No. 12 Clemson in Orange Bowl

By TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press MIAMI LAKES, Fla. The Bowl Championship Series came calling once again for Ohio State, albeit not the game the Buckeyes wanted. A day after seeing their national-title hopes and 24-game winning streak end with a loss in the Big 10 championship game, the seventh-ranked Buckeyes were selected Sunday to play against No. 12 Clemson in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3. Its the 10th BCS berth for the Buckeyes, more than any other school, though one of those appearances was later vacated. This team, a lot of these players have been through a lot of stuff, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. Last year they went 12-0 and were unable to go play in a bowl game. Now, their first chance to go play in a bowl game, theyre in a BCS game against a great team. This group of kids wants to go win a bowl game and win their 13th game. Thats (Continued from page 7) what were going to work awful hard to get done. Since the start of 2012, both the Buckeyes (12-1) and Tigers (10-2) rank in the top 10 nationally in terms of points per game and winning percentage. Combined, theyre 45-5 since the start of last season; although both had bigger aspirations, they still figure to give the Orange Bowl the type of marquee matchup that bowl games covet. I definitely want to congratulate Ohio State, another great year, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. They were a couple plays away from playing for the national championship and Ive got all the respect in the world for coach Meyer. Looking forward to spending some time with him down in Miami. Still, going to the Orange Bowl may seem like a bit of a consolation prize for both schools. Both entered the season among the presumed contenders for the national championship, which will be claimed by either Florida State or Auburn. Clemson had its chance against Florida State in Atlantic Coast Conference play at home, no less and got blown out, then fell again to South Carolina in the regular-season finale. And if Ohio State had beaten Michigan State for the Big 10 title on Saturday night, the Buckeyes almost certainly would have gotten their chance to meet the Seminoles for the national title. Instead, the Buckeyes are headed to Miami Gardens, Fla. at the stadium where Meyer won his second and most recent national championship. Meyer led the Gators to the title after the 2006 and 2008 seasons. Theyre heartbroken but theyre competitors, Meyer added, assessing his teams

NFL

mood after seeing a chance to play for the BCS title slip away. I think the fact theyre playing in a BCS bowl game against Clemson, thats going to wake you up real fast. Ohio State finished seventh in the final BCS rankings. Clemson finished 12th. Both teams have big-time quarterbacks, with Braxton Miller for the Buckeyes and Tajh Boyd for the Tigers. Combined, Miller and Boyd have accounted for 70 touchdowns this season. For Clemson, the Orange Bowl trip is a chance for some vindication. The Tigers were in the game two years ago after winning the ACC title and were embarrassed 70-33 by West Virginia. The Buckeyes will be vying to give Meyer his fourth 13-1 season since 2006. Clemson could finish 11-2 in consecutive years with a victory. The schools have met only once before, with Clemson winning 17-15 in the 1978 Gator Bowl. Itll also be the first time the Tigers have played a Big 10 team since 1990. the only touchdown for the Rams (5-8), a 1-yard run by Zac Stacy. Austin injured his left ankle on the play and didnt return. The Cardinals lost rookie safety Tyrann Mathieu in the third quarter with a left knee injury. DOLPHINS 34, STEELERS 28 PITTSBURGH Charles Clay caught two touchdown passes, including a 12-yard strike from Ryan Tannehill with 2:53 remaining.

Bowl

The 49ers are unbeaten at home against the West since losing to the Seahawks on Oct. 26, 2008. CHIEFS 45, REDSKINS 10 LANDOVER, Md. The Chiefs scored on their first four possessions in the snow, sacked Robert Griffin III five times and Kirk Cousins once and returned both a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown.

The score was 17-0 after the first quarter and 38-10 at halftime. Quintin Demps immediately answered the lone Redskins touchdown with a 95-yard kickoff return that resembled at times a winter stroll, part of a stunning tally of 321 return yards by Kansas City in the first half alone. Jamaal Charles ran 19 times for 151 yards for Kansas City. The Chiefs (10-3), who lost two to the Denver Broncos sandwiched

around a defeat to the San Diego Chargers after starting 9-0, beat up on a bad team. The Redskins (3-10) certainly qualify: Sundays game was their fifth straight loss and coach Mike Shanahan appears increasingly likely to be gone after a third losing season in four years.

Pope, Thayne Recker and Billy Taflinger (Lima/ Central Catholic) each finished with 17 points. Pope added 14 rebounds for his eighth career doubledouble. The 14 boards gives Will an even 500 for his career and he is now less than 100 points away from 1,000 as a Beaver. Taflinger added three rebounds and four assists and Recker pulled down six rebounds. Kinn finished with 15 points and eight boards while Ebbeskotte tallied nine points and a team-high five assists, Trey Elchert finished with three points, while Matt Wiesenborn and Homier rounded out the scoring with two points apiece. The Beavers (3-4, 1-1) made 29-of-68 (42 percent) from the field, including a 2-of-11 performance from behind the arc. They struggled at the free-throw line, converting just 22-of-36 from the charity stripe. The home team outrebounded the Grizzlies (40-26) and committed four fewer turnovers (13-9). The Bluffton University men will have Wednesday night off due to finals this week before heading to Anderson on Saturday for the second game of a womens and mens doubleheader with the Ravens. The men are scheduled to tip at 4 p.m. following the womens contest. Lady Beavers rebound with HCAC triumph By Kyle Stover Sports information assistant BLUFFTON The Bluffton University womens basketball team bounced back quickly after their tough road loss at Earlham on Wednesday night, knocking off conference-foe Franklin by a score of 59-54. The Beavers took a 5-point lead into the half before battling back and forth, holding on late for their first Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference victory of the season. The home team improved to 3-4 overall and 1-1 in the HCAC with Blufftons third victory over Franklin in 35 meetings, snapping

Wildcats

a 12-game losing streak at the hands of the Grizzlies in the process. The game opened up with both teams trading blows before Bluffton went on an 8-0 run midway through the half. Three-pointers by sophomores Kaitlyn Pennekamp and Taylor Whitaker stretched the Beaver lead to 11 with 5:37 to play in the period. Bluffton pushed the lead to 12 with 1:50 left in the half when Pennekamp hit a pair of free throws but Franklin ended the first 20 minutes with a 7-0 spurt to cut the lead to five at 36-31. A layup by freshman Rachel Beining (Ottoville) gave the Beavers a 3-point advantage with 13:57 to play but Franklin tied things back up just minutes later. Neither team led by more than four points the entire half until Pennekamp hit a layup with 34 seconds remaining to push the Bluffton lead to five, sealing the win. Pennekamp led the Beavers in scoring with 20 points to go along with six rebounds. Beining had 11 points and eight rebounds, while junior Belicia Cooperjust missed a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds. Taylor Knight had a teamhigh four assists in the win for Bluffton. Brooke Ruffer added six counters to go along with her nine rebounds and team-high three steals. The Beavers dominated the boards, pulling down 43 rebounds, compared to just 29 for Franklin. Bluffton hit 21-of-56 from the field (37.5 percent) and 14-of-20 at the stripe (70 percent). The home team came up with 10 steals and took advantage with 18 points off turnovers. Bluffton improved to 3-4 overall with a 1-1 mark in the HCAC, while Franklin slipped to 2-6 (1-1 HCAC). The Beavers will not play again until after exams are completed, taking on Anderson Saturday on the road. That contest is slated to begin at 2 p.m.

Delphos moved within 40-36 on a Stockwell basket with 5:20 remaining but could get no closer. An 8-0 spurt four points each from Osterhage and Kahle allowed the LadyCats to build a 48-36 edge on a deuce by Kahle with three minutes left. Senior Jasmine McDougall (6 caroms) scored a pair of buckets for the visitors but it was far too little, too late. Jefferson totaled 32 rebounds and 18 errors. It wasnt just defense that struggled today; we had another poor shooting game, Hoffman added. We were tentative against their pressure; we werent aggressive and werent taking the ball to the basket until it was too late. Weve got a lot of things to work on and shore up. Kalida ended up 15-of-37 shooting, 2-of-4 long range, for 40.5 percent; with 44 rebounds with Nicole Recker seizing 10; and 21 errors. We have a nice 1-2 punch with Kylie inside and Brittany outside, Huber added. This was Brittanys second game back after an injury and she really helps us in the ball-handling. We want Kylie to shoot more because you see what she is capable of doing inside and out. Kalida eked out a 20-19 win in the junior varsity contest. Freshman Brooke Kimball and sophomore Allison Recker led the victors with four points each. Freshman Kelsey Berelsman was tops for

Eye drops, artificial tears can treat mild keratitis

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have keratitis, for which my doctor has prescribed antibiotic eye drops. How did I get this? How can I avoid it in the future? DEAR READER: Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea, the clear dome at the front of the eye that covers the pupil and iris (the colored ring around the pupil). Keratitis can cause red eye, the sensation of something in your eye, pain, light sensitivity, watery eye, blurred vision and difficulty keeping your eyelids open. Keratitis typically results from infection or injury. Infectious keratitis, typically caused by a bacterial or viral infection, usually begins in the outer layer of the cornea, but it can go deeper into the cornea. If it does go deeper, it can cause permanent injury to the cornea, and that can make your vision worse. Infectious keratitis can also occur after an injury to the cornea. The injury can weaken the defenses that protect your eye against infection. An injury can inflame the cornea even if an infection never sets in. Injury may be caused by scratching your eye or wearing poorly fitting contact lenses. Some autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogrens syndrome, also cause keratitis. Treatment depends upon the cause. If there is only mild injury to the cornea, no treatment is necessary. Since your doctor has prescribed antibiotic eye drops, you probably have keratitis caused by a bacterial infection. For more severe bacterial infections, doctors sometimes also prescribe oral antibiotics. If keratitis is caused by a virus, you would need antiviral eye drops, an antiviral oral medication, or both. Artificial tears usually are effective for keratitis related to dry eyes. And corticosteroid eye drops, which ease inflammation, are often prescribed for keratitis caused by an autoimmune disease. Treating the underlying disease also helps. To prevent keratitis: -Avoid eye injury by wearing sunglasses and appropriate eye gear as needed. -- If you have a cold sore, do not put your fingers to your eyes. The same virus that causes cold sores can cause keratitis. -- If you use contact lenses, wear and care for them properly. Stop wearing them if you suspect you are developing an eye infection. -- Use moisturizing eye drops. Red eye is a pretty common problem. Usually its mild, people dont call their doctor, and it goes away. However, there are other eye conditions besides keratitis that can cause red eyes, and some of them need urgent medical attention. A few symptoms, in particular, raise red flags. When you have them, along with a red eye, you

Heroin
(Continued from page 1) Murphy developed quite a reputation. A natural tendency toward debate was magnified under the influence of the drug. He became mean, even with people he did not know. He indicated that he understands that now. Im truly sorry for the way I acted toward people during that time, he stated. Im embarrassed to see the way I acted, the way I treated people, the way I put that over everything. It was insane. Finally, he reached bottom. He started to see the effect heroin was having on his life, his relationships with his wife and 5-year-old daughter and the rest of his family. Murphy knew he wasnt being the type of person and the type of father he should be. He was focusing more on finding more heroin than he was on building a good relationship with his daughter. They say everybody hits their own rock bottom and it sounds corny, but its true. I was tired of waking up everyday and being sick, the whole day being about how am I going to keep myself from being sick and how am I going to keep functioning today. It just got old, he said. He decided it was time to take action. A trip to check in at an inpatient treatment facility in Columbus resulted in a quick trip back home. The facility would not accept Medicaid and Murphy had no other way to pay for treatment. We came back and I got right back into heroin again, he noted. That was my excuse, I tried! A second try in Lima was another failure. The program was the victim of a budget cut. But for Murphy, he discovered that he had to go into rehab for the right reason. At first, I wanted to for the wrong reasons, he said. I wanted to quit because my family wanted me to quit. That wont work. You have to do it for you. A call to Westwood Behavioral Health Center put Murphy on the right road. He revealed: Westwood is what helped me the most. I see a drug therapist there. I go to groups there. I had to do the whole detox and withdrawal at home. But to this day, Im going to Westwood. Theyre great. Theyre awesome. Murphy is also participating in Celebrate Recovery, where he is exploring his new-found faith. The religion he had considered an enemy has now become a friend. For Murphy, life today is not perfect. He has not fed his drug habit in over 204 days. He knows he is not perfect but he is making progress. Life from then to now is totally different, he shared. Im not where I want to be yet but Im so much better than where I was last year at this time. I can see that now. The big thing is, when youre using, you dont see it. You think everything is fine. Now its a totally different world waking up and not having to worry about how youre going to get through the day without going through withdrawal. Now, Murphy wants to do good. He wants to right the wrongs he made while under control of heroin. He wants to lend support and assistance to folks wanting to quit. He wants to let people know there are options possible where help is available. And he wants to show people it is possible, even after years on drugs, to come out of that lifestyle and live for more than the next dose, for 204 days and beyond. He has put together a list of resources locally to help anyone looking to take the next step. He has offered his support to his former friends when they decide to give up drugs. And he insists that there is help that can make a difference for others, just as assistance made a difference for him, but they have to want to quit for the right reasons. He warned: Heroin isnt worth it because you pay for it. Every good feeling you got you have to pay for in the end. Nobody when they pick it up ever thinks theyre ever going to be a junkie but once you do it once, its very, very hard to stop. Recovery is a slow process. Murphy is still looking for a job. Hes cut out relationships with those still into drugs because thats how people slip back into that lifestyle but he reports that his relationships with the family are better. He stays busy during the day and stays away from that old temptation. He goes to group meetings and explores more than finding another dose of heroin. Its a matter of days for Murphy 204 205 206 and counting.

75 Years Ago 1938 Dr. John L. Sassen and his assistants, the Rev. Edward Herr and the Rev. James Nett, are now located in the newly-built St. Johns rectory. Moving from the temporary rectory on South Bredeick Street, the private property of the pastor, was completed Friday. The rectory is located on the northeast corner of the church yard. The Notre Dame Sisters now occupy the old rectory on East Second Street. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Weaver of near Spencerville, who have been in grange work for 50 years,

Answers to Saturdays questions: Harold Bluetooth, the 10th-century figure for whom the Bluetooth wireless transferring technology is named, was the Danish king who united the warring tribes of Scandinavia. His name was used for the new technology because, like Harold, it had Scandinavian origins and it brought diverse groups together. Napoleon Bonapartes grandnephew, Charles Bonaparte, founded the government agency that became the FBI.
