Run Your Ashes Off5K Wednesday

The senior class at St. Johns will hold a Chicken BBQ to raise money toward a class trip to NYC. The BBQ will be held March 6. Dinners may be picked up in the breezeway between the elementary and All Saints buildings from 4:30-6 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $8 from any senior, at the high school office or the parish center. Tickets must be purchased by Friday. No tickets will be sold on the day of the BBQ.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) is an original co-sponsor of H.R. 4076, the Heating Emergency Assistance Through Transportation (HHEATT) Act, sponsored by Congressman Bill Shuster (R-PA). The bipartisan legislation introduced Tuesday would provide a guaranteed extension of the U.S. Department of Transportations (DOT) emergency declarations until May 31, ultimately providing relief to Midwest residents, who are experiencing life-threatening shortages of propane and other home heating fuels. This winters extreme weather conditions have threatened the lives and livelihoods of those who rely on propane to heat their homes and farming operations, said Latta. Access to heat is no longer an option, but a Ash Wednesday marks the requirement for survival for residents beginning of fasting, prayer and throughout the Midwest and espealmsgiving for Christians. Join many others in the community and do all three at once by praying together, running and offering money to the needy. On Wednesday at 5:45 p.m., a prayer service will be held at 5:45 p.m. with the distribution of ashes at the community track behind Jefferson High School. At 6 p.m., a Run You Ashes Off 5K, with runners and walkers welcome, will begin. Long-sleeve T-shirts will be given to the first 50 participants to register. Additional T-shirts will be available to purchase for $15, with proceeds going to the St. Vincent DePaul Society. Pre-register at St. Johns Ministry Center, the high school or elementary school offices, with a $10 donation to the St. Vincent DePaul Society. Runners and walkers of all faith traditions are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Latta backing bill to ease propane issue

Information submitted cially in my home state of Ohio. We must do everything we can to transport as much propane to those in need as quickly as possible. Therefore, I am proud to be an original co-sponsor of the HEATT Act to provide relief to Americans throughout the country who are experiencing the harmful effects of the severe snow and extreme cold that have plagued our area. Propane is used to heat more than 12 million homes throughout the United States. The current shortage is expected to continue through the end of winter due in part to a number of infrastructure challenges in high-demand areas. The HEATT Act would provide the certainty needed to address these critical heating fuel transportation and distribution issues throughout the Midwest. Congressman Latta has led multiple efforts to bring relief to homeowners throughout the Midwest. In January, he led a letter to DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx from the

Putnam County is not immune to heroin epidemic

BY ANNE COBURNGRIFFIS Sentinel Editor news@delphosherald.com PUTNAM COUNTY Actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman is the current face of heroin, said Ohio Governor John Kasich during a speech to the Ohio Newspaper Association on Feb. 6. We have a heroin epidemic in this state, in every county, in every suburb. Hoffman died on Feb. 2 in New York City following a heroin overdose. In Hoffman, the nation sees the loss of a gifted actor. But this is not the image that usually comes to mind when one thinks of a heroin addict, much less any substance abuser. Television and film give us images of skeletal degenerates who shoot up to get their euphoric fix. We dont see the decline of a person who gets hooked on heroin. Those that are truly addicted will take it simply not to feel bad because of the withdrawal. Theyll just take it to be normal again, explained Aaron Baumgartner, director of Pathways Counseling Center, Ottawa. Heroin, an opiate drug derived from the poppy plant, is a stimulant that produces euphoria. Though it has some medical applications, recreational use is illegal in the United States. In decades past, heroin was considered an elite drug. Think John Lennon, River Phoenix and Janis Joplin. Now the drug is relatively cheap, according to Doug Engel, Chief Deputy, Defiance County Sheriffs Office. Hes also the commander of a multi-area narcotics task force which covers Putnam, Defiance, Williams and Fulton counties. Actually the heroin is relatively cheap nowadays. Its approximately anywhere from $40 to $80 a gram, said Engel. It depends on the quality and the quantity of it. You can buy an injection, or a loaded syringe, off the streets. Or you can buy the powder. Its sold in multiple ways. Engel and his fellow officers have seen an upswing in heroin use the last two to three years. Were seeing a lot more of it coming into the community. A lot of it is being abused by the persons who had been abusing prescription opiates. Now theyre turning to using heroin because of law changes with prescription medications. See HEROIN, page 3

The Spinners bringing distinct style to Niswonger

BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor egebert@timesbulletin.com VAN WERT You may not know the name but you surely know the music. Rubberband Man , Ill Be Around Could It Be Im Falling In Love, and Working My Way Back To You are some of the more popular songs he has made famous with his vocal group, The Spinners. Henry Fambrough is the last remaining original member of the group which began performing in 1954 and is still going strong. The Spinners will be performing Saturday night at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in a 7:30 p.m. performance. Fambrough claimed that The Spinners are still working hard to bring that familiar sound to the people. We still have the same audience. The people who liked us then are still here with us. They still like the music, he said in a strong baritone voice. Most of them will say, We raised our kids on your music and our kids are raising their kids on your music! The people are still coming to see us. We still get the same reception. Fambrough has no idea how many concerts he has given but he has been performing since some school kids started singing together in the outskirts of Detroit in the mid1950s. He remembered, We started when we were in school back in 54. Actually we were playing basketball. The guys would play and somebody would start humming around, and somebody would start singing a song, and somebody listening would come in, and thats how we started. People started saying, Why dont you all start a group? You sound good; why dont you start a group? They kept on doing that and we said, Lets try it out! So we started rehearsing and went on from there. They sang as amateurs until meeting up with a man named Harvey Fuqua, the leader of the doo-wop group, the Moonglows. We met him and he started a record company called Tri-Phi Records, and we were the first artist on the label. Him and his wife Gwen wrote this song, Thats What Girls Are Made For, and they released it

The Spinners and it went up to No. 27 across the nation. The Spinners recorded for TriPhi Records through the 60s with only slight chart success. The group became very well-respected but a hit didnt come until after they signed with Motown in 1969. The first taste of success was Its a Shame, a song produced by Stevie Wonder. But the association with Motown did not last. See SPINNERS, page 3

pass new Calamity-day bill hits Lawmakers provisional ballot rules snag; debate continues
COLUMBUS (AP) State lawmakers disagreed Wednesday over how many additional calamity days to give Ohio schools off this year because of the winters hazardous weather, and how districts can make up the ones they have already taken. The impasse came after the Senate passed its own plan Wednesday, different from a version passed earlier by the House. Snow, ice and bone-chilling temperatures have led many districts across Ohio to exhaust the school years five allowable calamity days, in which schools can close without making up the lost instructional time. Many districts have canceled classes for nine or more days this year. Some Guernsey County schools in eastern Ohio have topped 17 such days. Gov. John Kasich has been among those advocating adding extra snow days on a one-time basis. He has said if schools exceed their allowable days and have to extend the year, it can wreak havoc with schedules and school budgets. The House passed a bill last week to let schools receive up to four additional days off, with teachers having to report on two of those. Senators put their own mark on the measure Wednesday. The Senate unanimously passed a plan to let schools take up to four additional days off this year, with teachers reporting for one day for training. But first, districts would have to use four contingency days before they could get the extra days off. Each school district adopts an annual contingency plan that includes adding at least five whole days to the school year if needed to make up any days missed beyond the excused calamity days. The bill would let districts revise their plans, which were submitted last September. Senators changed the bill during an education committee hearing Wednesday morning. They made additional changes on the Senate floor in the afternoon to try to win House support. We all know that there are some issues that everyone has an opinion on and everyone wants to talk about: Calamity days is one of those, said state Sen. Peggy Lehner, who chairs the education panel. She said she believed the committee had struck a good balance between the need to keep our students safe and our need to keep our children welleducated. But we do have some who would like to make it a little different, she said. She then offered an amendment to keep perhaps some more people happy. But the House rejected the Senate amendments, sending the bill to a joint conference committee to work on an agreement. Lawmakers in each chamber acknowledged that schools were waiting for an answer on the issue. With no clear end to winter in sight, it is important that we as legislators take the necessary steps to protect our children from the current frigid environment, state Rep. Tony Burkley, the bills co-sponsor, told fellow legislators earlier Wednesday. John Scheu, superintendent of the Sidney City School District, said blisteringly cold temperatures and busted water pipes in one building forced his schools to go beyond the five allotted calamity days this year. The district, which is north of Dayton, used Presidents Day to make up one of the days. Scheu urged senators to grant districts more days. It has been said that allowing additional days will adversely affect learning for our students, he told the Senate Education Committee. I would argue that tacking on an additional four days at the end of the school year is not going to increase learning for our students. The Senate-passed bill also would allow districts to make up the time off by lengthening school days by 30-minute increments. High school seniors would be excused from makeup days that occur after their scheduled graduation ceremonies. COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio lawmakers on Wednesday approved a bill setting forth when provisional ballots are counted in the political swing state and what it takes to cast one. Provisional ballots include those cast when voters dont bring proper ID to the polls or cast them in the wrong precinct. The bill passed by the House and Senate Wednesday would put into law recent federal court action that requires provisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct, but right polling location, to be counted. The goal of the legislation was to reduce the number of ballots rejected for voting in the wrong precinct but correct polling place. Some polling places contain voting machines for several precincts. The measure, which Gov. John Kasich likely will sign, would cut the number of days provisional voters would have to prove their identity and eligibility to seven from 10. The bill keeps in place current rules that election officials not count the ballots for at least 10 days. The bill would also require voters to provide their date of birth and current address on the provisional ballot affirma-

Justices hear local drilling rules dispute

Spinners

(Continued from page 1)

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio Supreme Court justices vigorously challenged attorneys on Wednesday over the power of state-level oil and gas drilling regulations to supersede local zoning laws. One justice asked whether Ohios regulatory scheme violates communities constitutional home rule protections, while another said an inability for cities to challenge state-issued drilling permits gives Ohios natural resources director seemingly god-like sway. The questioning came in a case brought by the Akron suburb of Munroe Falls against Beck Energy Corp. The lawsuit is being closely monitored by both pro- and anti-drilling forces for its potential impact on community efforts to block hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, used by the industry to capture gas or oil from underground shale. A court decision is expected in a few months. The energy company in this case received a state-required permit from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in 2011 to drill a traditional well on private property in Munroe Falls. The city sued, saying the company illegally sidestepped local ordinances by not involving the city in the process. Deputy Solicitor Peter Glenn-Applegate, the states attorney, told the court Ohios natural resources director was empowered in 2004 to regulate drilling and that a permit cant be gained without meeting established setbacks, fencing and other siting requirements. He and Becks attorney, John Keller, argued that state lawmakers made the decision to centralize authority over drilling at the state level after a period of decades when local governments were in charge. That was a conscious decision by the General Assembly to eliminate the dual regulation as to the location of wells, Keller said. Justice Paul Pfeifer drew a distinction between that process and the locating of windmills, which goes through a commission. For those who object theres no place to go. The director of natural resources is God in this case, he said. Glenn-Applegate said although Ohio citizens cant directly challenge drilling permits issued by the state, they have a remedy through the courts if they feel the natural resources director failed to adequately protect public health and safety. Munroe Falls attorney Thomas Houlihan argued that cities have the right to impose zoning restrictions as they plan their communities. He told the court the two levels of government can and should work together. The law says Ohio has sole and exclusive authority to regulate the location of wells, which Houlihan said is different from determining their location.

Heroin

Fambrough continued, We left Motown when our contract was up. We got with Atlantic, and they put us with Thom Bell. Thom Bell started writing for the voices, not just giving us songs like they were doing at Motown. He had his writing team produce for each individual voice. Thats how they came up with the different songs and how they came out great, man! We never had anyone to concentrate on the Spinners sound at Motown. According to Fambrough, it was Bell who really appreciated their musicianship. When we first met Thom, he remembered us from the Uptown Theatre in Philadelphia. He was the keyboardist with the house band there who plays with all the groups that come in. He said he remembered the Spinners from our sound because no one else was singing the notes we were singing and he said we had it down pat because it was a little bit different. But he said he remembered that one note that no one else was singing He was a musician and he appreciated it. There was something about the Spinners that made them stand out to Bell. Atlantic Records had come after us, Fambrough noted. They gave Thom Bell the list of all the artists on Atlantic. We had just signed, so our name was last. But he said, I want the Spinners. They said, Wait a minute! We got Aretha Franklin. We got all these artists and you want the Spinners? And he said, Yup. So thats how we got with Thom. Under Bells direction, the Spinners hit a streak of hits and became famous for their smooth sound and dance moves. Those moves are still a part of the show, even though Fambrough will soon celebrate his 76th birthday. Ill keep going until I cant go no more! I have no plans to retire; I mean, what would I do sitting down at home? Fambrought laughed. As long as I can move and as long as my voice will hold out there. So which will go first: His moves or his voice? I hope neither one! he chuckled. But most likely it will be the voice. The vocal chords get weaker as you get older, so you have to keep it in good trim because if you dont treat it right, it wont treat you right. After all those years since the musical bas-

ketball games of grade school, Fambrough has found himself the last survivor of the original quintet. As new group members were hired, it was the responsibility of the veterans to teach the dance routines to the new members. Fambrough was called into service again, teaching the dance moves to the newest member, Ronnie Moss. Were back to five guys now in the Spinners, Fambrough reported. I had to teach each one that came in all the routines to all the songs we are doing. Its just as exciting now as it was then because the groups out there now, and even back then, are not moving with the same dance style that the Spinners have. We have a different dance style. In fact, when asked to describe the Spinners in one move, Fambrough went with different. Different dance moves, a different sound. Part of the reason for the groups uniqueness Fambrough credited to Bell. The songs and the things Thom wrote for us with his writing team concentrated on our sound, that sound that we have, he said. Fambrough is joined by tenors Moss and Charlton Washington, bass Jessie Peck and baritone Marvin Taylor. The group is performing around 60 percent of the year not near what the pace was like during the hit years of the 70s. Back in the 70s it was 110 percent of the time! joked Kimbrough. The dance moves and the songs will be familiar when the music starts Saturday night; after all thats what the people want, Kimbrough reasoned. The people want to hear what you put out, the records that they bought and the songs that they like. As the years go along, they still want to hear that, he stated. The reason the audience comes is obvious but why does Kimbrough still enjoy singing and dancing after nearly 60 years of performing? Its the people. To see the excitement in their eyes, and to see how they are enjoying the show and just to be up there making someone happy, he shared. You can see it in their eyes and you can see them looking around and when they give you a standing ovation! Thats because they enjoy the sound and the show you put on for them. I still enjoy doing it.

tion in order for the ballot to be eligible to be counted. It also bans provisional ballot cast in the wrong precinct and the incorrect polling location from being counted. The bill passed along party lines in the GOP-controlled House and Senate, typical of several recent voting-related bills. Republicans said the measure would simplify the process of casting provisional ballots, while Democrats called it voter suppression. The legislation is one of a series of bills that promote uniform access at the polls for all voters while modernizing Ohios elections processes, said Rep. Mike Dovilla, a Republican from Berea in northeast Ohio and chairman of the House Policy and Legislative Oversight Committee. Opponents say it will increase the number of fields a voter must fill out for the ballot to count and criticized shrinking the number of days a voter has to return to a local elections board to show identification. State Rep. Kevin Boyce, a Democrat from Columbus, said it violates the principles of the 1965 Voter Rights Act, calling it a vote against civil rights for Ohioans.

(Continued from page 1) On Feb. 5, the DOT announced it would extend the exemption, which provides regulatory relief for commercial motor vehicles delivering propane and home heating fuels to affected areas and consumers, until March 1. On Feb. 14, he also led a bipartisan letter, with Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and 33 other members of Congress, to President Obama, requesting he declare a state of emergency for parts of the Midwest that are currently experiencing ongoing propane supply shortages. An emergency declaration will ultimately lift weight limitations for vehicles carrying emergency propane supplies to these areas, allowing more propane to be delivered faster to those in need.

Engel explained that physicians and pharmacies perform checks through the Ohio Automated RX Reporting System. OARRS is a statewide pharmacy database that is operated by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. Through OARRs, people who can legally prescribe medications are able to see what others are prescribing to an individual patient. But heroin is becoming more readily available in the Northwest Ohio community through illegal channels, according to Engel. It comes into our nation through various ports. The transportation of it, trafficking of it, has increased. Its coming in from Mexico, to Texas up through Northwest Ohio. It comes through Columbus, Dayton, Findlay, Toledo, Chicago, Fort Wayne Detroit and through here, said Engel. When heroin arrives in the area, age doesnt seem to be a factor in its use, although the officer did note, If I had

to pick a specific age group, I would say between 14 to 30. He reported that heroinrelated arrests are increasing in the region. According to Putnam County Common Pleas Court records, in 2013 there were seven drug trafficking or possession cases involving marijuana, five involving cocaine and five that in which the drug was not specified. There were two cases involving heroin. The difference between these two cases and those that involved marijuana or cocaine is that when heroin was noted as the drug, the record also included charges of theft and receiving stolen property. Baumgartner feels that the physical pain of withdrawal is what pushes people into theft, even prostitution. He explained that a heroin supplier, a pusher, will get individuals addicted to the drug so that the addicts may be prostituted. Theres some concern that its also involved in the human trafficking concern that the state has, he added.

NASA turns research to California drought

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) NASA scientists have begun deploying satellites and other advanced technology to help California water officials assess the states record drought and better manage it, officials said Tuesday. The California Department of Water Resources has partnered with NASA to use the space agencys satellite data and other airborne technology to better measure the snowpack, groundwater levels and predict storms. It sounds like a cliche, but if they could put a man on the moon, why cant we get better seasonal forecasting? Jeanine Jones of the states Department of Water Resources said in an interview following the Sacramento announcement of the partnership. Now they will. NASA scientists said they are also embarking on projects that use satellite images to help

from pasture to pasture so the vegetation doesnt become worn down. The goal is to provide higher quality food for insects and animals. Its a win for the livestock guys, and its a win for the managed honeybee population, Weller said. And its a win then for orchardists and other specialty crop producers across the nation because then youre going to have a healthier, more robust bee population that then goes out and helps pollinate important crops. The USDA is focusing on those five states because 65 percent of the nations estimated 30,000 commercial beekeepers bring hives there for at least part of the year. With limited funds, Weller said, the goal is to get the biggest payoff for the investment. Corn, soybean and other farmers can qualify for money to plant cover crops, which typically go in after the regular harvest and help improve soil health, or to grow beefriendly forage in borders and on the edges of fields. The program is just the latest in a series of USDA efforts to reduce honeybee deaths. The agency has partnered with universities to study bee diseases, nutrition and other factors threatening colonies. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack also recently created a working group on bees to coordinate efforts across the department. The work is already paying off with changes to once-common beekeeping practices, such as supplementing bees diet with high-fructose corn syrup, said David Epstein, a senior entomologist with the USDA. He noted that the quality of bees food is as important as the quantity.

St. Henry spreads misery to Wildcats

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com ST. MARYS Jefferson had a 4-game winning streak and St. Henry a 7-game streak when the two boys basketball teams met up in the first game of Wednesdays Division III Sectional Tournament lower bracket at The Horseshoe of St. Marys Memorial. The Redskins used a slow-tempo sometimes 4-corners-like, except it was 3-high, 2-down offense and 2-1-2 3/4-court press/2-3 matchup zone defense to near perfection in eliminating the Wildcats 50-32 in an hour and five minutes. The Redskins (16-7) advance to take on Van Wert, a conqueror of Coldwater in the later game Wednesday, in Fridays second sectional-final matchup (approximately 8 p.m.). They went to this offense about a month ago and havent lost since. Its against the odds for a team to hold the ball like they did the first possession and then hit a 3 but they did that a lot, Jefferson head man Marc Smith noted. They have been playing well and they start with a Division I prime-time player in (Ryan) Mikesell. I felt we did a pretty good job on him but they have a lot of weapons around him. Then they played that tough defense; it was hard to get anything inside. I have nothing but respect for Coach (Eric) Westerbeck as a coach and person. On the other side, I cant fault the outstanding effort we gave; we were playing our best ball the last month of the season because the kids bought into the roles we had for them. Westerbeck noted why they have played so well. We were 8-7 when we went to this. It isnt pretty and we arent proud that we had to do this but it was necessary, Rosenbeck explained. We simply had to simplify the game and the decisionmaking for our guys. Its simple: if youre open, shoot the 3; if the drive is there, attack the basket. Weve been effective with it. The Redskins (16-7) used the allaround skills of the 6-6 junior Mikesell (10 markers, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocked shots) to handle the ball in the middle, as well as linchpin the half-

(Delphos Herald/Randy Shellenbarger) court zone. After winning the opening tap, they ran nearly 90 seconds off the clock on the first possession using the tactic to various lengths throughout the

contest and forced the Wildcats (149) to come out of their sit-back defense. That allowed Mikesells penetration to use the 3-ball hitting 3-of-4 in the opening period (6-of-8 overall). After Mitchel Stammen (18 markers with 4 treys) at 6:20 and Jefferson sophomore Trey Smith (17 counters with 3 bombs; 6 boards) at 5:24 exchanged triples to open the contest, Caleb Bender on another trifecta gave the Skins the lead for good at the 5-minute mark. That started a 12-0 spurt with Bender and Mikesell each hitting five points to give them a 15-3 edge on a Mikesell layin at 1:40. When Smith hit a driving leaner at 1:00, the Wildcats were within 15-5. The Wildcats began to rally in earnest in the second stanza. While the Redskins built up a 12-point edge on a basket by Tyler Schwieterman at the 6-minute mark, Jefferson used the 3-ball and a defense that goose-egged the Redskins for nearly the rest of the period to get back in it. Smith hit a deuce and buried a trio from the left corner at 4:27. Senior Austin Jettinghoff hit his only markers of the night a 3-ball at 3:42 and Smith then got the Wildcats within 21-20 on a triple from the left corner at 1:27. However, St. Henry regained momentum going into the locker room as Stammen swished a rainbow from the left corner with 4.1 ticks on the board for a 24-20 halftime margin. Getting the ball to open the third period, St. Henry ran off two minutes before getting into its offense. Evan Prenger hit another trifecta for the Redskins at 5:25 to open the scoring and senior Ross Thompson (6 markers, 7 caroms) a 17-footer for the Wildcats at 4:25. However, that would be it for the Wildcat offense for the next 4:14 as they struggled to get anything inside against the length of Mikesell in the middle. On the other end, St. Henry wasnt exactly on fire but they did put together a key 6-0 spurt in a 3-minute span a pair of buckets by Jason Jacobs and a basket by Schwieterman to lead 33-22 before Smith scored on an inbounds play underneath the basket at 11 ticks for a 33-24 scoreboard.

what might possibly set them off or, perhaps, unlock the key to them living up to their potential. We will hear all week now about how this guy or that guy lived up to/didnt live up to what scouts thought about them. For those that didnt, we will hear all about their scheduled pro days which are designed for them to become the greatest thing since sliced bread! If you fail your pro day, give it up. Heres a novel concept: how about looking at what they did on the field during the last college football season or even over the course of a career? Did they consistently do well against good teams and bad or did they take games off? Did they lose their work ethic or continue to bust their humps over a career? Did a guy get better and become what scouts thought they could be when they came into college or did they peak as a sophomore or junior and not play as well as a junior or senior? Then figure out a reason why look at their game tapes and scouting reports and see how teams approached them. If they struggled because teams altered their game plan to account for them, maybe you have a keeper for the next level. All Im saying is forget the bells and whistles how many guys can run a 4.4 40-yard dash and have hands of stone? Jerry Rice was timed at 4.6 coming out of college and I think the only guy that caught him from behind in the pros was Darrell Green! Is there something about this item I found the other day? It refers to the arbitration process between MajorLeague Baseball and its Players Association. See MUSINGS, page 7

By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com Ozzie Smiths idea of making Opening Day in baseball a national holiday might be something. A lot of people already view it that way (taking the day off to go the nearest park), just like I and likely a lot of other football fans view the National Football League Draft the same way. The only difference is the Draft is a 3-day extravaganza versus each MLB team having only one opening day. I, for one, wish the NFL would go back to one day but I know that is a pipe dream. The Scouting Combine is almost becoming a second National Holiday in the NFL, after the Draft. Its amazing how someones draft stock can go up or down just by going by the numbers. I understand the process that they put the players through. With all the money that is on the table these days and how when you miss with a first-round pick, for example, it can set you back decades or at least a couple of weeks! The word tweener has entered the dictionary and our everyday football parlance. The powers-that-be poke, prod, ask, cajole and do about anything to try and get into the minds of these 20- to 23-year-olds and figure out what makes them tick,

Grove overcomes shaky start to spank Hornets

By Charlie Warnimont DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTAWA Tournament basketball can be a little nerve racking for those who havent experienced it before. Columbus Grove had just two players in the lineup Wednesday night that had played in a tournament game before and it showed early. Once the Bulldogs were able to shake those early nerves, they looked like a veteran team. And it was CoryRawson that watched the Bulldogs grow up quickly as they fell to Grove 60-23 in a Division IV sectional semifinal at Ottawa-Glandorf. The Bulldogs (13-9) advance to the sectional finals Friday night to face Leipsic (12-11) around 8 p.m. at O-G. Leipsic advanced to the sectional title game with a 62-43 win over McComb in the first game Wednesday night. Columbus Grove scored the first points of the game before the Hornets took a 5-2 lead on a putback by Danny Miles and a 3-pointer from Chad Shepler. After making some early substitutions, the Bulldogs started to find their rhythm offensively thanks in part to their halfcourt and full-court defensive pressure. Finding their stride, the Bulldogs went on a 25-2 run over the next eight minutes to take control of the game. Jace Darbyshire ignited the run with a layup and 3-pointer that put the Bulldogs ahead for good. A Tanner Neu basket, a 3-point play by Will Vorhees and a Baily Clement basket had Grove up 14-5 after eight minutes. Cory-Rawson halted the Bulldog run on a basket by Ian Moser to start the second quarter before Grove went on an 11-o run for a 25-7 lead. Joey Warnecke opened this run with a 3-pointer from the right corner, that was followed by a putback by Riley Brubaker. After a basket by Elisha Jones, putbacks by Vorhees and Brubaker had the Bulldogs up 25-7. Two of the baskets by the Bulldogs in this run came as a result of turnovers from their full-court pressure. They (Hornets) have good half-court stuff when you let them run it and our plan was to disrupt it and make them more basketball players than running plays and I thought we did a good job of that after the first three minutes, Grove coach Ryan Stechschulte said. We got our feet settled in and did a good job on the defensive end. Our defense turned into a lot of easy offense for us. See GROVE, page 7

Van Wert advances to sectional final

BY JIM COX DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com ST. MARYS What a difference a couple of baskets can make. After an ice-cold first half, Van Wert came out on fire, riding a 21-point third quarter to a 54-38 win over Coldwater in Wednesday nights Division III sectional. The Cougars (11-12) advance to play St. Henry (16-7) in Friday nights 8 p.m. final. St. Henry cruised to a 50-32 win over Delphos Jefferson in Wednesdays first game. Coldwaters season ends at 10-12. The Cougars trailed 21-18 at the half. They were that close only because Connor Holliday had 11 points on 4-for-4 field goal shooting, including three treys. The rest of the team was 2-for-16 at that point. Weve had those dry spells, for whatever reason but our guys are battling and fighting, said Van Wert coach Mark Bagley. I knew at halftime that our guys were confident. We just werent making shots. Holly hit some threes and let us hang around. The first time we played them we were down 16-2 at one point, about seven at the half, so I said, Guys, were in great shape, only down three right now. With Van Wert seemingly hanging on by its fingernails, the Cougars got a second half jump-start from an unexpected source, senior point guard Michael Smelser. He started it with a pair of 3-pointers, one from each wing, and the scarlet-and-gray had a lead, 24-21, that it would never relinquish. A couple of minutes later, up 28-24, two more Smelser baskets, one on a slashing layup and one via a backdoor assist from Matt

Associated Press WOMEN MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Bria Holmes scored 28 points and No. 11 West Virginia cruised past Texas Tech 69-37 on Wednesday night. The victory was the eighth in a row for West Virginia (25-3, 14-2 Big 12), second in the Big 12, which goes on the road to take on firstplace and sixth-ranked Baylor on Sunday. It was Baylor that ended West Virginias 13-game winning streak on Jan. 8. The Mountaineers only made 3-of-16 3-point attempts against Texas Tech (6-21, 0-16) but shot 42.9 percent overall, which was enough against a Lady Raiders team that shot only 26.2 percent and was outrebounded 52-32. Averee Fields had 10 rebounds for West Virginia. IOWA STATE 86, No. 15 OKLAHOMA STATE 69 STILLWATER, Okla. Jadda Buckley scored 26 points and Nikki Moody finished one point from a triple-double as Iowa State rolled to an 86-69 win over Oklahoma State. Moody had nine points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Cyclones (19-8, 8-8 Big 12). Hallie Christofferson and Brynn Williamson contributed 17 points apiece and Seanna Johnson had 14. Iowa State knocked down 15-of-36 3-pointers, matching a season high, and shot 52.7 percent from the field, 69.2 percent in the second half. With Buckley adding five assists, the Cyclones had helpers on 20 of 29 field goals. LaShawn Jones scored 17 points for Oklahoma State (21-6, 10-6). Liz Donohoe and Brittney Martin had 14 points each with Martin grabbing 10 rebounds. The Cowgirls were just 2-of-14 from 3-point range and shot 40.3 percent from the field. OSU won 69-62 at Iowa State last month.

OKLAHOMA CITY Kyrie Irving scored 14 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter to help the Cleveland Cavaliers beat Oklahoma City 114-104 on Wednesday night, giving the Thunder their third straight loss since the All-Star break. Jarrett Jack scored 21 points, Spencer Hawes scored 19 and Tristan Thompson added 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who snapped a 3-game losing streak. Cleveland shot 14-for-21 from the field in the fourth quarter against the Western Conference-leading Thunder.

Durant scored 15 points before the break and Westbrook had 13 points and six assists. Irving had 14 points, four assists and three steals at halftime. The Thunder opened the second half with 3s from Durant No. 23 MIDDLE TENNESSEE 70, EAST CAROLINA 59 and Thabo Sefolosha to take a 58-51 lead. A mid-range jumper GREENVILLE, N.C. Ebony Rowe scored 23 points, on 7-of-8 by Ibaka stretched Oklahoma Citys lead to 62-53, leading shooting, to lead Middle Tennessee past East Carolina. Cavaliers coach Mike Brown to call a timeout.
Rowe made 9-of-14 free throws and moved into first place on the schools all-time list with 520 makes in her career. Middle Tennessee (24-4, 13-1 Conference USA) made just 18-of-45 field goals and 4-of-13 3-pointers but recorded season highs by making 30-of-49 free throw attempts. East Carolina (21-6, 9-5) converted 8-of-17 (47.1 percent) from the line. Trailing 34-33 at halftime, the Blue Raiders opened the second half with a 13-2 run as ECU made just 1-of-11 field goals and committed six turnovers, in the first 10 minutes. No. 24 RUTGERS 67, TEMPLE 58 PISCATAWAY, N.J. Tyler Scaife had 21 points and Kahleah Copper had 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead Rutgers past Temple. Copper scored back-to-back baskets and Betnijah Laney added two free throws to cap a 6-0 run that gave Rutgers (21-6, 12-4 American Athletic Conference) a 63-55 lead with 3:37 to go. Laney had 11 points and six rebounds for Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights scored only four more points the rest of the game but the Owls (12-15, 6-10) presented no challenge as they missed their last six field goals. The Owls fell behind 8-0 to start the game and trailed the entire way. They closed to within 31-28 at halftime and Natasha Thames cut the gap to 57-55 on a 3-point play with 5:30 left in the game. Feyonda Fitzgerald had 17 points and Tyonna Williams had 15 to lead Temple.

third quarter, said Bagley. He changed the whole tide of the game. Michael can score. When hes aggressive and in attack mode, hes a very good offensive player. He can both dish and score. Our guys are begging him to shoot more. Hes gotta do that. We started making shots, we switched things up defensively a little bit, got some tips and deflections, some easy baskets, added Bagley. They went man and the tempo went faster; thats what we wanted. Once it went faster, they couldnt shove it down our throats with their big guys inside. Theres a lot of factors that go into it, but I really like our kids mindset right now. After its 6-for-20 first half, Van Wert went 13-for-19 from the field in the second 16 minutes to end at 49 percent. Coldwater shot 34 percent (14-of-41) in the game, about the same in each half. Both teams were good from the line, with the Cougars at 73 percent (8-for-11) and the Cavs at 71 percent. Van Wert won the boards 24-16, led by Bidlacks eight. Coldwater had seven turnovers to Van Werts eight. Smelser, Holliday, and Keber led the Van Wert scoring with 15, 15 and 11, respectively. Brady Hoying had 16 for Coldwater.

Price wins managerial debut, Reds top Indians 8-3

By GARY SCHATZ Associated Press GOODYEAR, Ariz. Bryan Price won in his managerial debut, Ryan Ludwick and Joey Votto singled home runs and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Cleveland Indians 8-3 on Wednesday. Price was elevated from pitching coach to manager when the Reds fired Dusty Baker after last season despite their third playoff appearance in four years. Price managed a game for the first time at any level. Chris Heisey hit a 2-run homer and a double in the spring training opener for both Ohio teams. Ludwick has recovered from a shoulder injury that cost him most of last season and limited him after his return. Billy Hamilton, who stole 13 bases for the Reds last September, drew a 9-pitch walk and stole a base as the Reds leadoff hitter. The 23-year-old Hamilton, expected to replace Shin-Soo Choo in center field, stole second and continued to third on Yan Gomes wild throw. We just throw them out there and they get to utilize their natural aggressiveness, Price said. We want guys to take some risks and challenge themselves on the bases. We can see what we need to work on or what guys have more to offer than weve known in the past. Votto, who drove in just 73 runs last season from the third spot in the batting order, hit an RBI single off lefty reliever T.J House. Ryan Raburn doubled and scored for the Indians. He won a spot on Clevelands roster last year with a strong showing in spring training. STARTING TIME Indians: Trevor Bauer, trying to earn the fifth spot in the rotation, walked the first two batters of the game. He escaped without allowing a run when Gomes caught Brandon Phillips stealing as Votto struck out. Gomes helped him out with that throw, Indians manager Terry Francona said. Bauer pitched one inning.

Grove

I felt comfortable, he said. I got to work with some guys in scoring position that I would prefer not to. I got it all today. I just concentrate on getting the guy out. I dont think of competing for a job. Reds: Alfredo Simon pitched two scoreless innings. He pitched exclusively out of the bullpen for Cincinnati the last two years but is being considered as a starter. I worked on my 2-seamer and it was pretty good, Simon said. It felt good to be a starter. It has been a long time. Simon started 16 games for Baltimore in 2011. TRAINERS ROOM Reds: Ace Johnny Cueto failed to make three consecutive starts last season but showed up in camp in good shape. There will be a collective sigh of relief when he leaves camp healthy, Price said. He hasnt had any issues in throwing and fielding drills. It was a new injury that lingered last year, Price said.

Wildcats

One, of the 146 players that filed for the process this year, they averaged $3,859,912 under their new contracts. This is opposed to the $1,778,081 they averaged under their previous contracts. Really? Man, I am in the wrong business! OK, I guess I can understand that many of these guys are entering the prime of their playing careers and many are either already superstars, like Freddie Freeman ($135 million, 8 years well over his previous salary of $560,000) and Craig Kimbrel ($42 million, 4 years) from the Atlanta Braves; Giancarlo Stanton (Miami) and Michael Brantley (Cleveland); stars or on the verge. This is the one that stood out to me (and I doublechecked the stats): first base-

man Ike Davis of the New York Metropolitans. He hit .205 with nine homers, 33 runs batted in and 101 strikeouts in 317 official atbats. He was demoted to the minors for a month. His salary went from $3,125,000 to $3.5 million. Seriously! Unreal. This one wasnt as bad but it raises eyebrows. Texas pitcher Neftali Feliz, who only threw 4 2/3 innings in six games last year after elbow ligament replacement surgery, received a 3-percent raise from $2.9 million to $3 million. How can an arbitrator rule this way? And these guys simply want what every American worker has in their every-day, work-a-day world! Did I forget that they get banquets after every game, etc., etc., etc.? I re-iterate: I am in the wrong business!

We only had two kids with varsity experience coming back, so this game was good for us. We had some nervous kids and they had to get their feet wet. You could see that the first four minutes. Other than Jace and Will, we had some guys on the floor that were unsettled and little bit wound up and they battled through that stretch and played a good game after that, Stechschulte added. Matthew Alspach ended the Bulldogs second run with a 3-pointer before Grove closed out the first half with a 7-0 run for a 32-10 halftime lead. Colton Grothaus had a 3-pointer in that run, while David Bogart and

Jones both had a basket. Those runs are hard to overcome, especially as deep as they are, as athletic as they are and skilled as they are, CoryRawson coach Aaron Long said. We talked about taking their best and continuing to keep the course and try to take the best they could give us the first quarter and hang around. When they made that first run on us, that was a big key. Up 22 points at halftime, the Bulldogs didnt suffer any letdown in the third quarter outscoring the Hornets 20-6. The Bulldogs had a 10-0 run in the third quarter to lengthen their lead. There were some anxious moments in the third quarter for

the Bulldogs when Vorhees was fouled attempting a dunk and landed on the floor hard. He laid on the floor for a few minutes trying to catch his breath, then walked off under his own power. Vorhees never returned to the game but coach Stechschulte said his 6-7 senior would be fine as he landed on his butt which absorbed most of the blow. Darbyshire led 12 Bulldogs in the scoring column with 10 points while Vorhees had eight points and seven rebounds. Brubaker pulled down six rebounds as Grove had a 38-25 edge in rebounds. Moser led the Hornets (7-15) with seven points, while Grant Risner had six points and eight rebounds.

The Wildcats needed to catch fire to have a chance to lengthen their season by one more game. Instead, it was the Redskins who did so, using their spread offense to perfection in hitting four of their first seven shots and its first two free throws of the game while Jefferson went scoreless the first 4:08 to build a 45-24 advantage on two Stammen singles at 5:06. Smith canned a pair of throws at 3:52 to finally break the drought but it was far too little too late as the coaches emptied their benches later and Coach Smith gave a curtain call to his four seniors: Jettinghoff, Thompson, Tyler Mox (2 markers) and Tyler Rice; in their hoops career finales for the Wildcat program. These four seniors have been in our program since second grade: they are the first group in my time here that have gone through the entire program. They each brought something to the team in the four years I had them, Coach Smith added. They are quality people beyond what they do on the court; they come from good families and good support. I am confident they will be successful at whatever they do in life and I hope we as a coaching staff had some small part to play in that. Delphos concluded with the following statistics: 12-of-34 shooting (4-of-11 3-balls) for 35.2 percent; 4-of-8 at the line (50%); 28 rebounds (8 offensive); 12 turnovers; and eight fouls. St. Henry totaled 20-of-43 fielders, 7-of-16 downtown, for 46.5 percent; 3-of-3 singles (100%); 20 caroms (5 offensive); a mere four miscues; and 11 fouls.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol

HI AND LOIS

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2014 Your industrious and hard-working nature will allow you to achieve amazing results this year. The ongoing pursuit of knowledge and information will be extremely rewarding for you. Dedication, loyalty and honesty will continue to bring you fulfilling friendships, romantic relationships and influential contacts. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be sensitive, open and honest in your dealings with loved ones. If they feel you are holding back, it may cause irreparable damage to your most intimate relationships. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont try so hard. It isnt necessary to go to extreme lengths to gain the approval of your colleagues. Your kindness, generosity and compassion will create a favorable impression. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Recreation and entertainment are the order of the day. Romance, travel, or interesting pastimes will generate excitement. Put mundane activities on hold for the time being. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There are many places where your talents can be put to good use. Make others aware of your capabilities by confidently presenting what you have to offer. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even if you are happy with life, new and rewarding experiences are worth checking out. Take advantage of opportunities that promise to broaden your horizons and indulge your curiosity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take steps to cultivate beneficial partnerships, deal with unsatisfying financial matters and initiate new strategies for moving forward. You need a concrete agenda and decisive action to get what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Use a confident and direct approach in all your affairs today. Be assertive when asking for what you want. Sitting back quietly and hoping for results will accomplish nothing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Its a good day to reassess your love life and family relationships. If you are not satisfied, now is the time to make a positive change. Consider the needs of others as well as your own. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youll become irritated and upset over minor issues. Rather than allowing yourself to become distraught over small details, bite your tongue and save your energies for more important matters. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Put your worries on the back burner. Disagreements, work and problems with meddlers will lead to bitterness. Get outside to remind yourself of the beauty of nature. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have good ideas and should plan to move forward. The encouragement you receive will help you reach your destination. Strive for success and share your victory with loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You may have been neglecting your self-improvement goals. Engage in some pleasurable physical activity, and you will be rewarded with better health, renewed energy and a sense of fulfillment. COPYRIGHT 2014 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
