OTTOVILLE Cory Trenkamp is
a math teacher who lives in Ottoville
but teaches students throughout west
central Ohio. He also tutors local
students from his home. Trenkamp
gets around virtually but his physical
mobility is limited.
In January 2000, while an 18-year-
old student at the University of
Toledo, Trenkamp was in a car acci-
dent in which his neck was broken.
After months of recovery, rehabili-
tation and confinement to a wheel-
chair, he entered college at Wright
State University, where he earned
his bachelors degree in math. He
took more courses online so that he
could teach. He now teaches math
online through the West Central Ohio
Learning Academy.
Trenkamp is making his mark on
the world but he wants to do more.
My parents take my siblings and
nephews for rides around our farm.
Last summer, my 3-year-old nephew
wanted me to ride with them, said
Trenkamp. Since my wheelchair
wouldnt fit on it, I looked into some
options.
Trenkamp located a body shop in
Columbus that makes wheelchair-
accessible golf carts but the cost for
such a vehicle was high. My dad
asked a buddy of his if he knew any-
one that could convert ours. He said
hed like to try.
That friend was Mark Ricker, the
owner of Marks Auto Body just west
of Ottoville on U.S. 224. He and a
crew that consisted of Vernon Etzler
and Tony Butler worked on the cart
renovation in his rural shop over the
recent cold winter months. On Friday,
Trenkamp and his father Carl joined
them all there for a final fitting. With
the press of a button, Ricker lowered
the passenger-side door into a ramp.
Trenkamp drove his wheelchair up
the ramp and locked the chair in
place, just as he does in his van, for
a perfect fit. Under windy but blue
skies, Trenkamp and Ricker took the
finished cart out for its inaugural spin.
According to Ricker, Etzler was
the brains behind much of the cart
retrofit.
Law enforcement out
in force this weekend

As St. Patricks Day approaches, state and local law enforce-
ment is urging drivers to designate a sober driver before the party
begins. Law enforcement will be working to remove impaired
drivers as part of the National Highway Safety Administrations
Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving campaign.
St. Patricks Day has become a popular night to celebrate with
friends and family. However, due to impaired drivers, it has also
become a very dangerous night on Ohios roadways. Last year, no
one was killed in a traffic crash in Ohio on St. Patricks Day, the
first time that this has occurred in at least the last five years. During
this 24-hour period, the Ohio State Highway Patrol made 142 OVI
arrests.
We want people to enjoy the celebration but we encourage
them to do so responsibly, said Colonel Paul A. Pride, Patrol
superintendent. Dont press your luck designate a sober driver.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
reports that more than 269 people have been senselessly killed
nationwide in crashes involving drunk drivers during the St.
Patricks Day holiday from 2007-11. Those fatalities were prevent-
able.
When you celebrate St. Patricks Day, just be smart about it. If
you know youre going to drink whether with friends at a bar or
attending a party designate a sober driver ahead of time or call
a taxi to make sure you get home safely, said Mike Klear, director
of Putnam County Safe Communities.

Ricker takes the wheelchair-accessible golf cart for its first spin on Friday. (Putnam Sentinel/Anne Coburn-Griffis)

Vantage Career Center hoping
to train more for workplace
BY ED GEBERT
Times Bulletin Editor
news@delphosherald.com
VAN WERT Vantage
Career Center and three insti-
tutions of higher learning
have teamed up to apply for
a $288,000 grant to obtain
trainers for fabricated metal
product manufacturing and
for wood product manufac-
turing. The goal is help more
people in the area be pro-
ficient in technology to be
prepared to take on specific
jobs, according to Vantage
Adult Education Director
Pete Prichard.
The plan is to have this
program utilized to create
a pathway from certificate
to an associates degree and
up to a bachelors degree, if
the student desires, shared
Prichard.
The student can take the
training as far as needed for
employment. Students can
earn an Industrial Automation
Maintenance Gainful
Employment Certificate, a
two-year degree in industrial
technology or a four-year
degree in advanced manu-
facturing.
For the grant, Vantage has
teamed up with Northwest
State Community College,
Rhodes State College and the
University of Toledo. Several
regional employers are also
named in the application,
including General Motors,
Sauder Woodworking and
Northstar Blue Scope Steel.
Specific requests in the
grant from the Ohio Board
of Regents is funding for
10 programmable controller
training units at a cost of
$13,500 each and six fluid
power training units at a cost
of $25,500 each. Each of the
units would be portable and
utilized on a rotating sched-
ule to serve more than 1,250
students over the next 24
months.
Prichard reported that col-
lege credit can be earned at
Vantage through use of the
trainers. The idea has been in
the works for many months
and Prichard said, It almost
feels like were coming in
at the end of a marathon,
which is feeling pretty good!
So were looking forward to
seeing some good things hap-
pen.
The application was sub-
mitted on Feb. 7 by Northwest
State Community College.
Prichard said he expected to
hear back sometime in the
near future.
Landeck celebrates reading
Landeck Elementary School celebrated Right To
Read Week this week. Guest readers visited the school

Man known as kissing sailor
in WWII-era image dies
HOUSTON (AP) A man who became
known for claiming he was the sailor kissing a
woman in Times Square in a famous World War
II-era photo taken by a Life magazine photogra-
pher has died. Glenn McDuffie was 86.
McDuffie died March 9 in a nursing home
in Dallas, his daughter, Glenda Bell, told The
Associated Press.
After World War II, McDuffie, who was born
in Kannapolis, N.C., and moved to Houston in
1960, became a mail carrier and semi-profession-
al baseball player.
But his life became more exciting about six
years ago when Houston Police Department
forensic artist Lois Gibson was able to identify
him as the young man leaning over the woman in
his arms to kiss her.
By taking about 100 pictures of McDuffie
using a pillow to pose as he did in the picture
taken Aug. 14, 1945, by photographer Alfred
Eisenstaedt, Gibson said, she was able to match
the muscles, ears and other features of the then-
80-year-old McDuffie to the young sailor in the
original image.
I was absolutely positive, Gibson said of the
match. It was perfect.
The identification remained controversial,
partly because other men also claimed to have
been the sailor in the image, but also because Life
magazine, whose photographer had died years
earlier, was unable to confirm that McDuffie was
in fact the sailor, noting Eisenstaedt had never
gotten names for those in the picture.
Yet for McDuffie, Gibsons word was enough.
A well-respected forensic artist who was in the
2005 Guinness Book of World Records for help-
ing police identify more suspects than any other
forensic artist, Gibson said McDuffie was ecstatic
when she told him the results he had waited 62
years to hear.
And so began a whirlwind lifestyle of going
to air shows, gun shows, fundraisers and parties
to tell his story. Women would pay $10 to take
a picture kissing him on the cheek, Gibson said.
He would make money and kiss women,
Gibson said. He had the most glamorous life of
any 80 year old.
McDuffie had told the AP he was changing
trains in New York when he was told that Japan
had surrendered.
I was so happy. I ran out in the street, said
McDuffie, then 18 and on his way to visit his
girlfriend in Brooklyn.
And then I saw that nurse, he said. She saw
me hollering and with a big smile on my face.
I just went right to her and kissed her.
We never spoke a word, he added.
Afterward, I just went on the subway across the
street and went to Brooklyn.
Gibsons daughter, Bell, said on anniversa-
ries of the wars end her father would recall that
moment and the air of excitement in Times Square.

One Year Ago
The Luersman barn at 12400 Delphos-
Southworth Road came down Thursday.
The back portion of the barn was erected

tragically killed in a Christmas Eve
buggy accident while traveling home
from midnight Mass. The front portion
was added in the 1920s.
25 Years Ago 1989
When Jerome (Dewey) Pohlman of
Delphos recently had logs to be cut
into firewood, his uncle, Ray Spieles,
brought his log-splitting equipment,
which dates to 1888, to Pohlman. The
event soon turned into a family affair
with Pohlmans sons and sons-in-law
assisting and observing the operation,
some first-hand for the first time. The
antique equipment is co-owned by Ray
and his brother, Ralph Spieles, who
purchased the saw in 1938 from Frank
Helmich, who built the equipment in
1888.
Delphos Cub Scout Pack 42 recently
held its Pinewood Derby at St. Johns

Dr. Gustave Egloff, a
Chicago scientist, stat-
ed that there are today,
1,100,000,000 acres of pos-
sible oil lands in the United
States alone. The potential
oil areas in other parts of the
world are sufficient to pro-
duce over 100,000,000,000
barrels of crude oil.
The cracking process,
which is being used to pro-
duce more than 5,000,000
gallons of gasoline yearly
from petroleum oils, could be
used on present by-products
and oil shales, as well, to
increase the amount of gaso-
line when necessary.
Another encouraging sign
is the determined effort being
made by the industry to con-
serve oil resources and curb
over-production.
Those who criticize use
of our natural resources on
the ground that they will be
quickly exhausted have no
support in scientific facts.

Radio Messages Received

From Dirigible
The Radio Marine Corp.
told the United Press at 4
a.m. today that its station still
was in touch with the Graf
Zepplin.
The Graf Zepplin, the first
passenger dirigible to cross
the Atlantic, left the naval air
station at Lakehurst, N.J., at
1:54 a.m. yesterday. It flew to
New York, cruised above the
city for a short time and then
headed up the New England
coast.
Carrying 25 passengers,
38 members of the crew and
one stowaway the larg-
est lighter than air craft was
headed for Friedrichshafen,
Germany, its home port.
One the early part of the
return flight the Zepplin was
making better time than its
normal cruising speed of 68
miles an hour.
Storms and rain in the
North Atlantic may handicap
Dr. Hugo Eckner, command-
er of the ship, in his attempt
to better the time made on the
western crossing.

Mysterious Lights Appear

in Defiance County
People of Defiance County
are mystified by lights of
unexplained origin appearing
at night on a farm near Mark
Center in that county, accord-
ing to the Defiance Crescent-
News.
What causes the myste-
rious lights which nightly
light up on the D.O. Horton
farm, tenanted by Arnold
Schleisser, two miles west
and one-half mile of Mark
Center, and other farms father
north?
That is the question to
which various answers are
given by neighbors and resi-
dents of this locality who
have witnessed the peculiar
lights.
Some believe the lights
are results of electrical effects
induced by a particular dry
fall. Others see in them the
will-o-the-wisps which have
been known to appear over
certain landscapes, caused by
peculiar conditions of the soil
and atmosphere.
Whatever they are, they
have not been definitely
explained.
The fame of the mysteri-
ous lights which have been
showing for several months,
is spreading. During recent
evenings, people have been
driving from nearby towns to
view the scene.

Gramm Motors Sells

Truck to Edwards Bros.
Gramm Motors Inc. has
just delivered to Edwards
Bros., local trucking and
storage company, an excep-
tionally fine moving van.
It is a Gramm Model 564-
ND two and a half tone fast
express chassis equipped
with a Gramm Economy type
van body of 850 cubic feet
capacity. This chassis has a
wheel base of 184 inches. It
is equipped with a four speed
transmission, a 6-cylinder
engine and 34x7 pneumatic
tires all around with duals in
the rear.
The body is engineered by
the Gramm body builder who
has unusual success in van
bodies. In the past year, bod-
ies built and designed in the
local plant have been deliv-
ered to some of the largest
moving concerns and ware-
housemen of the middle west
and all of them are noted for
their durability.

Pennsylvania Railroad
Might Run on Electricity
The Pennsylvania railroad
may be electrified through
Delphos within a few years,
according to a report from
New York which indicates
that this is the policy of the
company and that all of its
lines will likely be electrified
eventually.
Overhead construction
and not third rail will be
used in the project it was
announced. In a few places
both sources of power will
be employed. In five years,
the Pennsylvania will require
250 and 300 electric locomo-
tives. The railroad is stan-
dardizing the design of elec-
tric locomotives.
Decision to electrify
the road from New York to
Wilmington was made fol-
lowing exhaustive surveys
of future traffic possibilities.
The conclusion was reached
that by 1950 the metropolitan
district would cover an area
between Long Island and
New Brunswick and contain
30,000,000 people.

Taylor reminds Ohioans flood insurance
not included in standard coverage
Information submitted
COLUMBUS National Flood Safety
Awareness Week is March 16-22 and Ohio
Lieutenant Governor and Department
of Insurance Director Mary Taylor is
reminding Ohioans that financial protec-
tion against flood damage is not included
in a standard homeowners or renters
insurance policy. Flood cov-
erage has to be purchased
separately and there is a
30-day waiting period before
it becomes effective.
As we head into Spring,
Ohioans should evaluate
their need for flood insur-
ance and talk with their
insurance agent about cov-
erage options, Taylor said.
Anyone with questions
about flood insurance should contact
the Ohio Department of Insurance, their
insurer or an agent.
The Department has created a flood
insurance toolkit on its website, www.
insurance.ohio.gov, that includes infor-
mation about how to secure coverage,
what to do after a flood, how to file a
claim and an agent locator tool.
Flood insurance is available through
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) by calling 1-888-379-9531 for
any community that participates in
the program. The NFIP website, www.
floodsmart.gov, is filled with consumer-
and agent-friendly material. Even though
flood insurance is administered by a
federal program, private insurers sell the
policies. An insurance agent can tell you
if your community is part of NFIP and
assist in helping you secure coverage.
This would also be a good time to also
inquire with your agent if coverage for
damage caused by a sewer or drain back-
up is available and appropriate to add to
your standard homeowners policy.
Taylor advises that all Ohioans
whether they live in a flood-prone area or
not consider coverage. According to the
NFIP, people living outside of high-risk
areas file more than 20 percent of NFIP
claims and receive one-third of disaster
assistance for flooding.
Flood insurance is avail-
able to protect homes, con-
dominiums, apartments and
non-residential buildings,
including commercial struc-
tures and their contents. The
NFIP offers basement flood
coverage for structural ele-
ments, essential equipment
and other basic items nor-
mally located in a basement.
In addition, the NFIP encourages people
to purchase both building and contents
coverage for the broadest protection.
The Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR) has a floodplain man-
agement program that helps citizens and
agents learn about flood hazard areas.
Information is available at www.ohiodnr.
com and by calling 614-265-6750.
Ohioans with insurance questions or
concerns can call the Departments con-
sumer hotline at 1-800-686-1526 and
visit www.insurance.ohio.gov for free
information. You can follow the Ohio
Department of Insurance on Facebook
and twitter. Visit the Ohio Committee
for Severe Weather Awareness website at
www.weathersafety.ohio.gov for flood-
ing information and tips.

Girl in Elida High School
threat ordered on house arrest
LIMA (AP) A 14-year-old girl who prosecutors
said tweeted a threat to set off a bomb and shoot people
at her northwest Ohio high school will serve house
arrest until her sentencing.
A judge in Lima on Thursday ordered the Elida High
School freshman to be electronically monitored and stay
away from the school. Shell live with her grandparents
after entering an admission in juvenile court to a misde-
meanor charge of making a false alarm.
The Associated Press reports that the girl, who told
the judge she needed help, could face up to 90 days of
detention or other penalties when she is sentenced later.
The threat was discovered March 3 when a man
researching school shootings came across her tweet. She
did not have access to weapons.

WASHINGTON Theres
nothing quite so helpful as a
fatwa and threats of a Christian
boycott to create buzz in
advance of new movie.
Noah, scheduled for its
U.S. release on March 28, has
become such a target. The
United Arab Emirates, Qatar
and Bahrain have banned
the movie because it depicts
a prophet, which, as Danish
cartoonists will attest, isnt the
peachiest of ideas in certain
circles.
Even here in the land of
religious tolerance, the National
Religious Broadcasters threat-
ened to boycott the film unless
Paramount, the films distribu-
tor and co-financer with New
Regency, issued a disclaimer
that the movie isnt a literal
interpretation of the Genesis
story. It is good to have fun-
damentalist literalists explain
exactly what the Bibles authors
intended, especially since a lit-
eral interpretation would keep
moviegoers away or put them
to sleep.
To wit: In the literal tale, no
one speaks until after (spoiler
alert) a dove sent to find land
returns with an olive twig in
its beak, indicating the flood is
over and the world is saved. In
the movie version, people talk,
which is awfully helpful in fol-
lowing the narrative.
Alas, under pressure,
Paramount altered its adver-
tising to say the movie was
inspired by the Bible story
and is not The Bible story.
Note the frequent use of the
word movie in the preced-
ing paragraphs. This is because
Noah is a movie. It is not
a sermon or a call to prayer. It
cost $130 million to make and
is intended to entertain, inspire
and bear with me, I know
this is crazy make money. It
does not presume to encourage
religious conversion, disrespect
a prophet or evangelize a snake,
though it does glorify virtue in
the highest.
I recently viewed the film
and can confidently report
the following: If you liked
Braveheart, Gladiator,
Star Wars, The Lord of the
Rings, Indiana Jones or
Titanic, you will like Noah.
If you liked two or more of the
above, you will love Noah.
Your enjoyment increases
exponentially with each movie
checked above, though I should
warn that Titanic made the
cut for only one reason, the
major difference between it and
Noah being obvious. Noah
also includes the essential love
story or two, without which no
story floats.
Noah, in other words, is
a big movie. Theres plenty of
action and enough gore and
guts to leave young children
at home. Its a morality play/
spiritual journey without being
preachy, except occasionally
by the protagonist. Noah the
man can be a tad over the top
at times, but this is an obvi-
ous plus when youre being
instructed by the Creator to
build an ark and fill it with
snakes, among other creatures.
And, lets face it, Noah is
Russell Crowe, from whom
one wouldnt mind hearing:
Would you like to see my
ark? Weve come a long way,
baby, from Charlton Heston as
Moses in Cecil B. DeMilles
The Ten Commandments.
Add to the cast Anthony
Hopkins playing Methuselah,
Yoda-esque in his ancient wis-
dom; Jennifer Connelly, who
plays Noahs wife; and Emma
Watson as his adopted daugh-
ter. There are also Noahs three
heart-stopping sons, whom we
witness evolving from inno-
cence to self-knowledge as they
question their fathers author-
ity (sound familiar?) and try to
resist Oedipal urges that surge
to the surface with the terrifying
brutality of a serpents strike.
Poor Noah, alienated from
a world consumed by evil,
aspires to goodness and justice
even as he questions his qualifi-
cations to the task. Moviegoers
are treated to a short course
in original sin, magically pre-
sented with zoom lenses, a pul-
sating apple and, shall we say,
reptilian dispatch. (Anaconda
probably deserves an honorable
mention on the list.)
This is all to say, the film
is art, neither executed nor to
be taken literally. And who are
these experts who know pre-
cisely what the Bibles authors
intended? Among other criti-
cisms are the implications that
evolution and creation might be
mutually inclusive and that man
and beast are equal in the eyes
of the Creator. Noah and his
family are vegetarian and dem-
onstrate respect for the Earths
fragile balance.
Pure heresy. Next thing
you know, well all be driving
Teslas and eating basil burgers.
To each his own interpreta-
tion, but at least one conclu-
sion seems self-evident: The
Bibles authors were far more
literary than we. They clearly
had a keen appreciation for
parable and metaphor, as well
as a profound understanding
that truth is better revealed than
instructed.
If the literalists prevail, we
just might need another flood.

NANCY SPENCER
On the
Other hand
This past week has brought some heavenly
and not-quite-so heavenly weather. Warm
enough one day to forgo the winter coat and
cold enough the next few to see more than six
inches of rain, snow and sleet (of course all in
one event).
I know we didnt get as much as some
but I feel secure in saying I think most of us
have had enough. Next winter, when someone
hears me whining about wheres the snow,
smack me a good one.
Im usually one of the first to look around
in November and wonder when its going to
happen. Well, I think Im either getting older
or my let it snow button is broken or has
been abused.
I have scraped my car windows enough.
My coat pockets and purse have been filled
with snow while I cleared off my car, soaking
their contents.
My shoes and socks have gotten snow-
logged from trudging through drifts and piles.
Im tired of tippy-toeing on sidewalks and
across parking lots, risking a painful fall and
guaranteed embarrassment.
I have walked (more like dragged) the
dog through blizzard-like winds and blowing
snow only to have him look at me as if Im
crazy right before he runs back up the steps
without having done a thing.
Doesnt he know the effort it takes to
bundle up for such endeavors? The layers
and layers I pile on? Then I had to make
sure he was dressed for the weather. Boots?
Check. Yes, I said boots. Ringo acquired a
set of boots just before Christmas last year.
They have been wonderful! Coat? Check.
Ungrateful beast.
I have gazed out the back window and mar-
veled at how beautiful the snow makes every-
thing look right after its fallen. The snow can
make the landscape quite breathtaking.
Ive shoveled and chipped and huffed and
puffed until frankly, I dont care for snow
quite as much as I did at the beginning of the
season.
Is spring here? I can see patches of grass
again and even stepped out Friday without a
jacket.
I cant wait to see the tender beginnings
of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and narcissus
shooting out of the fresh, green ground.
I cant wait for the birds to flock around the
feeder, dropping tidbits for the ducks to come
along and find later.
The canal will be filled with ducklings and
the air with song from winged friends.
The smack of a bat hitting a ball is right
around the corner. I can almost hear it now.
Then reality hits. Its only mid-March. I
live in Ohio. Its going to snow again. Its like
a rule.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
All full up on snow
DEAR EDITOR:
I, as a citizen of Delphos, have decided to support the income tax increase. After reading
and listening to various discussions on the subject, I feel this is the only sensible alternative.
I am not by any means in total support. I feel there was gross mismanagement of finances.
Why would any city base their budget on water revenues from companies who seem to come
and go on a whim? Most city managements rely on rainy day funds for just such surprises.
Even though the recession had some impact, the major portion was due to overspending on
the wastewater treatment plant and reservoir. Why would anyone build such facilities without
having other municipalities on board to sustain it?
Oh, yes, I do pay Delphos income tax as well as Lima. I just feel if the city is left to flounder
in this financial process, Delphos will just continue to decline. Not a pretty picture with all the
layoffs, cutbacks, etc.
Joan Ricker,

An opportunity to lead
BY US SENATOR
ROB PORTMAN
A presidential budget is many things. It
is a chance for the President to declare his
priorities, to highlight his initiatives, and to
offer reforms of how our government does
business. But most importantly of all, it is a
chance for the President to
lead on the fiscal issues of the
day. We certainly need that
leadership now.
In a time of record long-
term unemployment and
unprecedented debt, what we
need are pro-growth poli-
cies that will create jobs and
reforms that will result in
responsible reductions in our
long-term deficits. Instead,
President Obamas budget
includes hundreds of billions
of dollars in new spending,
$1.2 trillion in job-killing
taxes, and $8.3 trillion in new
debt. One particularly sobering stat? Under
the Presidents plan, according to his own
numbers, annual interest costs will reach $616
billion in 2020, while defense that year will
be $583 billion. If the President had his way,
wed spend more money financing our debt
than funding our men and women in uniform.
Thats not the kind of budget thats going
to spur growth. Its not the kind of budget
thats going to get people back in a job or
businesses hiring again.
The new taxes contained in this budget will
make it harder to create jobs, not easier. They
will stifle growth, not encourage it.
This is a missed opportunity. Republicans
and Democrats may disagree on a lot of
things, but the American people need us
to come together to find a way to get this
economy moving again. So instead of arguing
about a budget that we all know isnt going
anywhere, I would propose we use this time to
get some things done for the American people.
And real things, too. Now is not the
time for political gimmicks. Lets reform
worker retraining in this coun-
try so that the 47 government
retraining programs actually
work the way they are supposed
to and get the unemployed in
the jobs that are available. Lets
give the President the ability to
knock down barriers to trade and
put products stamped Made in
America in stores around the
world and create jobs right here
at home. Lets pass bipartisan
energy efficiency legislation that
will conserve resources and save
manufacturers money that they
can reinvest in their industry and
in this country.
And then lets approve the Keystone
Pipeline so we can create jobs and speed
the day when North America will be energy
independent.
Those should be the easy things. Then
we can get to work reforming our tax code,
balancing our budget, and fixing a broken
healthcare system that has only been made
worse by Obamacare.
Unlike the Presidents budget, these are
serious proposals that people around this
country support. And unlike the Presidents
budget, they can help get American workers
back in a job and American families back on
their feet.
Lets make them happen. Lets start today.

Are you planning a trip to
Washington, D.C., this year?
Washington is a great city to
learn about the history of our
nation and our connection
to the world around us. But
where you decide to go to find
this wealth of knowledge is
very important. Forget for the
moment that we are a postal
history museum but think of us
more of the story of American
history. So where would
I suggest you go? I suggest
the National Postal Museum
(NPM) which is part of the
Smithsonian Institutions.
Before you scoff and dis-
miss what I suggest, please read
on just a little further. I wish I
had the knowledge and skills
of one of the worlds finest phi-
latelists Dr. Cheryl Ganz. Dr.
Ganz recently retired from the
NPM. She was so revered as a
philatelist, the Smithsonian has
bestowed a title upon her of
Curator of Philately Emerita.
No one before has received
such an honor. But unless you
are widely versed in stamp col-
lecting, you may never have
heard her name before. She is
an author, philatelic researcher,
conservationist and has a vast
understanding of how best to
educate the young and the old.
Her final and most phe-
nomenal achievement has
been to design the worlds
largest display of stamps.
How large? They have sev-
eral million stamps and phila-
telic papers. It is known as
the William H. Gross Gallery
and you will find it in the
new expansion of the National
Postal Museum.
Dr. Ganz approached her
task with one concept in mind:
Every stamp has a story.
She has shown the world how
interesting and even exciting
this collection can be. Her
temporary successor, Daniel
A. Piazza, says that he has
measured the success of the
exhibits by the number of
nose prints on the glass that
protects each artifact. During
a 30-minute interview and
walk-through of the gallery,
both these curators pointed
out how each day all the glass
needs to be cleaned because
of the incredible number of
nose prints. Piazza stated that
the fascination and desire to
get as close a look as possible
is indicative of the gallerys
popularity.
After an initial donation
from Mr. Gross of $12 million
and some of the finest and
rarest stamps ever printed, it
still took several years, plus
millions of dollars more, to
complete this amazing look
at history.
Some of the most sought-
after stamps in the world were
those of the Inverted Jenny.
There were only 100 of these
stamps every printed as the
first airmail stamp. I am sure
you have seen pictures of it
or may have even purchased
some of the recent reissues.
In the gallery you will find
a plate block of four of the
stamps donated by Mr. Gross
accompanied by a display
that shows how this error may
have occurred. But there is so
much more.
There are six themes that
encompass the gallery each
with interactive screens and
monitors. The stamps are
shown within a framework of
stories and related artifacts.
For example, there is a section
on Amelia Earhart, a pioneer
in aviation and the first female
pilot to fly solo on a trans-
atlantic flight. Most people
dont know that she was also a
stamp collector and a designer
of clothing. The Earhart dis-
plays include the leather flight
suit she designed and wore.
But as a stamp collector, she
developed her own postmark-
ings, cachets and philatelic
covers that accompanied her
on her flights. She even set
up stamp shows to sell many
of her philatelic items to help
fund her desires in the pursuit
of avionics.
As you walk through the
themed galleries, you will find
pullout panels that slip back
into the walls. These panels
contain over 20,000 stamps
and related items. In my next
article, I will fill you in on
the other themed galleries and
also take you on a virtual walk
through the museum itself.
Speaking of museums, this
Tuesday evening, we will be
hosting a dinner meeting for
those interested in promoting
the Lincoln Highway and sup-
porting a newly-formed organi-
zation, The Lincoln Highway
Association West. Please con-
tact me if you are interested
in attending this meeting. The
program will include a tour
through the Museum of Postal
History. There is a charge for
buffet dinner.
Just a note: Seats have
been selling quite well for the
MPH Tour to Chicago sched-
uled for this June 5-8 with

Hamlin sets track record with pole-winning run
Associated Press
BRISTOL, Tenn. Denny Hamlin
ended two weeks of Team Penske domi-
nance by winning the pole at Bristol
Motor Speedway.
Hamlin set a track record Friday
with a lap at 129.991 mph to earn the
top starting spot. It broke the mark of
129.535 set by Joe Gibbs Racing team-
mate Kyle Busch a year ago and ensured
that neither Brad Keselowski or Joey
Logano won the pole for the
first time since NASCARs
new knockout qualifying
debuted three weeks ago.
Hamlin ran only one lap in
the first segment and it was
good enough to lock him into
the top 12 to advance into
the second segment. He then
ran one lap, took the pole for
Sundays race and got out of
his car to see if anyone could
beat him.
As a short track guy, I can
feel when, OK, this is all Ive
got. Or, This is a really good lap,
Hamlin said. He aborted an attempt at a
second lap in the first segment because,
If that wasnt a top-12 lap, we were in
big trouble. So I knew that was going to
be good. Then ultimately strategy comes
into play, wanting to conserve your car
and keeping everything as cool as you
can for the second segment
I was going to run two laps in the
second segment but I bobbled it pretty
bad into Turn 3 and didnt finish the lap.
But I knew the first one was good.
So good that he wasnt very wor-
ried when Keselowski and Logano both
pulled back onto the track as the clock
ticked down to attempt to bump Hamlin
from the pole. The teammates swept the
front row at Phoenix and Las Vegas,
where the new format was first used this
season, and they made one last run at
Hamlin.
Keselowski came up just short, set-
tling for second at 129.965.
Logano was fourth, behind Hamlins
teammate Matt Kenseth.
I feel like we did what we were sup-
posed to do to be able to go out there and
give it a shot for the pole, said Logano,
the pole-winner last week at Las Vegas.
Dennys strategy was pretty good. Just
not good enough for us.
The Penske drivers were only able
to make those final attempts because of
a new rule this week by NASCAR that
permitted the use of cooling units on
pit road for teams to cool their engines
following their runs. NASCAR decided
Tuesday to allow the devices follow-
ing a conference call with crew chiefs
because of safety concerns raised by
drivers.
Because the engines had been getting
so hot following the qualifying runs and
the cooling units were not allowed, driv-
ers were running laps on the bottom of
the track at slow speeds to cool down. It
was going on at the same time
as other drivers were sailing
by at full speed, and many
drivers complained they had
near collisions.
I think that rule change
has made qualifying even bet-
ter, Keselowski said. Its
removed danger and replaced
with opportunity. I think that
was for the betterment of the
sport and certainly if for no
other reason than safety, it
was definitely worth it. But I
also feel like being able to go
out there and make multiple runs is now
a lot more plausible.
The early season struggles continued
for Stewart-Haas Racing and even hit
Kevin Harvick, who had been the lone
bright spot for the organization through
the first three races.
Kurt Busch was the highest SHR
qualifier at 13th but Harvick was 27th
and Danica Patrick was the last driver to
qualify on speed at 36th. Team co-owner
Tony Stewart had to use a provisional to
make it in the field and will start 37th.
High speeds lead to several crashes
at Bristol: Patrick wrecked just minutes
into what turned into a dicey first prac-
tice session Friday at Bristol.
In all, four drivers had to go to back-
up cars before the halfway mark of the
90-minute session, including 15-time
Bristol winner Kyle Busch.
Hamlin, who watched the first 15
minutes of practice from pit road, attrib-
uted the wrecks to drivers adapting to
NASCARs new aerodynamic rules and
Goodyears tire compound producing
faster speeds.
I really dont think its treacherous,
Hamlin told Fox Sports 1. Its just the
speeds are so much higher than weve
seen. It takes a little getting used to. We
are all out there fighting for a tenth-of-
a-second, a hundredth-of-a-second at
Bristol. I think it comes more from us
pushing the edge than it is treacherous.
Patrick was the first to wreck, los-
ing control roughly three minutes into
the session. She slammed into Parker
Kligermans car,and his Swan Racing
team appeared to be trying to fix his
Toyota as Stewart-Haas Racing imme-
diately pulled out the backup Chevrolet
for Patrick.
Justin Allgaier then hit the wall,
then Busch. Moments later, Greg Biffle
crashed. All three went to backup cars.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. later scraped
the wall but didnt appear to do much
damage.
Ryan Newman, who missed the first
15 minutes of practice because of a pen-
alty last week at Las Vegas, found the
beginning of practice entertaining.
We sat there and watched a few
guys crash, he said. It seems like the
cars are really, really sensitive to some
changes just because the cars are so
stiff now because of the rigidity of how
were running them. Once you lose it,
you really lose it, which is what weve
seen.
Kenseth to use standby drivers at
California: Matt Kenseth has a con-
tingency plan for next weeks race at
California as he awaits the birth of his
third child.
Sam Hornish Jr. will be on standby
for the Nationwide Series race at Auto
Club Speedway and Jeff Burton will be
in place in case Kenseth needs a replace-
ment driver for the Sprint Cup race.
Although Jeff Burton is not crazy
about going to the West Coast, he agreed
to standby to practice or something if we
needed that for a session, Kenseth said.
Burton, who is running a limited
schedule this season, tweeted Friday:
Friends dont let friends drive with
baby on the way.
Kenseth has not said exactly when
Katie Kenseth is due but joked several
times that he has told her to have the
baby girl on a Monday or Tuesday when
hes not busy with his duties as a Joe
Gibbs Racing driver.
With rain expected to impact
Sundays race at Bristol, he joked that
Monday of next week is now off the
table as a potential due date.
If it rains Sunday, she was praying
for Monday, so we had to change that to
Tuesday if its going to be this week,
Kenseth added Friday.
He paused when he learned there may
be bad weather in Bristol on Monday, too.

James Robinson also scored a career-

before fouling out with 25.4 seconds left.
UNC got it to 78-75 on Nate Britts jumper with 11.4 sec-
onds left but couldnt complete the comeback. James Robinson
knocked down two free throws to make it a 2-possession game
again right after Britts score, then Lamar Patterson rebounded
a hurried 3-pointer by James Michael McAdoo with 4.3 sec-

still in the game with about 10 minutes to go. Thats when
Wilbekin and the Gators (30-2) suddenly took control.
After Will Yeguete laid one in off a nifty pass from Kasey
Hill, Florida pressed the inbounds pass, Wilbekin came
up with a steal, then got free in the corner for a 3-pointer.
Missouri missed at the other end, Patric Young connected on a

Crestview beats Raiders for
third time, heading to State
By JOHN PARENT
Times Bulletin Sports Editor
news@delphosherald.com
BOWLING GREEN
Undefeated and top-ranked
Crestview took an early lead
on local rival Wayne Trace
in Friday nights Division
IV regional final played
at Bowling Green State
University.
Jumping out to a 16-2
start, Crestview didnt allow
a Wayne Trace field goal
until 6:40 to play in the sec-
ond quarter. What could have
turned into a blowout, how-
ever, became a classic battle
between two familiar oppo-
nents, with the Knights pulling
away late for a 44-34 win.
Crestview (27-0) moves
on to face Tri-Village in the
state semifinal in Columbus on
Thursday night. Wayne Trace
sees its season come to a close
at 23-4. Three of those losses
came to Crestview.
The Knights identified the
importance making life diffi-
cult for the Raiders top two
weapons, Ethan and Corbin
Linder.
With Preston Zaleski draw-
ing primary responsibility on
Ethan, with frequent double-
team help, the Raiders were
forced to move their freshman
off the ball, creating an uncom-
fortable offense.
They double-teamed
Ethan, which we hadnt seen
before, said Raider head
coach Jim Linder. That took
us out of our sets and moved
him to a two spot, which he
wasnt really used to. It was
good coaching by them.
Zaleski doesnt score much
for the Knights but his defense
was a difference-maker in this
game. Despite standing just
5-foot-10, Zaleski blocked
three shots in the first half as
the brothers Linder were held
to 2-for-8 shooting and seven
points.
I can jump pretty high,
Zaleski joked after the game.
Defense is about being in the
right position. Then its just get
up and block the shot.
Though the Knights strug-
gled from the field themselves,
Crestview held a 23-14 lead at
the break.
Getting off to a good start
tonight was huge for us, noted
Crestview head coach Jeremy
Best, who is taking his
second Knights team
to state. I thought we
set the tone early on the
defensive end. Again,
tonight it was just, defen-
sively, lock-down mode.
We did a fabulous job of
communicating on defense.
In the third, Wayne Trace
used its defense to spark a
comeback.
After Ethan Linder sank his
first field goal, a 12-footer on
the baseline, the Raiders forced
a Crestview turnover and the
younger Linder got free under
the hoop. Drawing contact
from Crestview center Tyson
Bolenbaugh, Linder threw up a
circus shot than found its way
through the rim. After convert-
ing the free throw, Linder had
pulled the Raiders to within
six.
The kids played hard,
noted Raider head coach Jim
Linder. I am proud of our
kids. They didnt quit and they
couldve quit.
On the next trip, senior
Devin Wenzlick came up with
a blocked shot on Damian
Helm and finished on the other
end, drawing Wayne Trace to
within four.
Crestview would respond.
We reacted pretty well,
said Best of his teams
response to the Wayne Trace
run. We called a timeout and
chewed them a little bit about
getting better at a few things
and we responded, and weve
done that all year.
Weve been in several
tight games. Weve been there
and weve been fortunate to
come out on top. I think, our
ability to rally around each
other and believe in each other
and the relationships that these
guys have with each other real-
ly helps.
Though the Knights strug-
gled to find the range from
the outside, Helm finally
got a 3-pointer to drop early
in the fourth quarter, giv-
ing Crestview a 33-23 lead.
Though the Raiders were able
to get back to within seven,
Zaleski got a finger-
tip on a Corbin Linder
3-point try with three
minutes to play and just
over a minute later, the
Knights were able to
seal the game.
With 1:42 on
the clock, Helm dribbled
through a desperate Wayne
Trace defense and found
Bolenbaugh breaking to the
hoop. The 6-5 senior took it
up strong, drew the foul and
celebrated from his backside
on the floor as his shot fell
through the hoop. The free
throw gave the Knights a
12-point cushion.
It was incredible,
Bolenbaugh said. I was on
the ground and just looked up
to see it drop and emotions
flooded me. It was crazy out
there.
As has been the case
throughout the season and
at each stop on this tourna-
ment run the Crestview
defense was the story. Wayne
Trace was held to 10-for-37
shooting (27 percent) for the
game and just 2-of-12 (16.7
percent) from beyond the arc.
Defense is the number
one thing, senior Cam Etzler
noted. We know what they
bring to the table but they are
two great players. Ethan being
a freshman, really stepped into
some big shoes this year. They
really made it tough on us. I
know Im pretty tired from
chasing them (the Linders)
around.
Wayne Trace caused dif-
ficult shots for the Knights
but couldnt force turnovers as
Crestview coughed it up only
eight times in the game. In the
second half, Bolenbaugh and
Helm began to find success
inside, with each scoring eight
points after the break.
I dont know that we were
winning that battle (physi-
cally) through the game but
I thought we responded as
we went through. Both teams
expended a bunch of energy;
there were some tired boys
out there, Best continued.
If were hitting our out-
side shots, which we werent
tonight, Coach emphasized at
halftime to get it down low
and start attacking, explained
Helm after the win. In the
first half, we werent getting
our shots to fall. We tried to
work inside-out more in the
second half and I think that
got us going a little bit.
Their two post players,
Helm and Bolenbaugh, really
hurt us inside, Linder con-
ceded.
The Linder brothers, who
had combined for 62 points in
Tuesday nights regional semi-
final win, were held to a total
of 19 on Friday night on 6-of-
22 shooting.
We had to shut (Ethan
Linder) down, said Zaleski,
who had four points, three
blocks and two steals on the
night. He starts their offense,
so we had to limit his touch-
es.
A senior-laden team,
Crestview never looked rat-
tled, even when the game got
tight.
These guys are pretty
even-keeled, added Best.
They were pretty loose today,
they had a pretty good sense
of composure about them-
selves and they knew what
was at stake.
The Knights will play in
the second game on Thursday
night. Approximate tipoff
time is 8:30 p.m.

CINCINNATI Cincinnati Bengals
coach Marvin Lewis signed a 1-year
contract extension Friday, keeping him
on the job through the 2015 season.
Lewis has led the Bengals to three
straight playoff berths, a first for the
franchise that began play in 1968. But
the Bengals are 0-5 in the playoffs under
Lewis.
His 90 career victories are the most in
Bengals history by 26 over
Sam Wyche (64). His record
is 90-85-1 in the regular sea-
son. Lewis 11 seasons are
the most for a Bengals head
coach.
Im blessed to continue
to do a job I love here in
Cincinnati, said Lewis, 55.
I truly appreciate the com-
mitment by our management
to continue to enable us to
build an NFL championship
team.
The Bengals went 11-5
last season and won the AFC North.
They fell at home to San Diego in the
wild-card playoff round after losses to
Houston the previous two years in the
opening week of the postseason.
Still, Lewis has brought continuity
and organization to the Bengals, even if
they have not won a playoff game since
the 1990 season.
Lewis lost both coordinators in the
offseason, with Mike Zimmer becom-
ing head coach in Minnesota and Jay
Gruden taking over in Washington.
Marvin has earned this commitment
for the job he is doing, said Bengals
president Mike Brown. We are one of
only five teams to qualify for the play-
offs the last three years and our pros-
pects are bright looking ahead. Marvin
is driven to achieve more and we are
happy to secure his leadership of our
team beyond the coming season.
RAIDERS
ALAMEDA, Calif. The Oakland
Raiders added two more playoff-tested
veterans to their rebuilding defense.
Oakland signed free agent defensive
lineman Antonio Smith to a 2-year, $9
million contract and cornerback Tarell
Brown to a 1-year, $3.5 million deal
Friday.
The moves come a day after Oakland
signed Justin Tuck and LaMarr Woodley
to 2-year deals to bolster the defensive
line, giving Oakland four new defensive
starters with experience of playing in the
Super Bowl.
GIANTS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Jon
Beason is going be back in
the middle of the New York
Giants defense and he is going
to have help at the linebacker
spot.
The Giants confirmed Friday
that they re-signed Beason and
later said they also signed for-
mer Baltimore Ravens line-
backer Jameel McClain.
The team did not disclose
contract details but reports said
Beason got $19 million over
three years. Terms of McClains
deal were not immediately avail-
able.
The moves shore up the linebacking
position with the team having already
given a tender to restricted free agent
Spencer Paysinger, the weakside line-
backer.
The Giants also announced they re-
signed fullback Henry Hynoski.
PATRIOTS
Suspended former Seattle cornerback
Brandon Browner said on Friday that he
has agreed to a contract with the New
England Patriots, giving the AFC East
champions another potent defender in
pass coverage.
A day after representatives for
Darrelle Revis confirmed that the 3-time
All Pro would be joining the Patriots,
Browner WROTE on Twitter: I am
proud to announce that I am a New
England Patriot. The team has not
confirmed either deal but Browners
was reportedly worth $17 million over
three years.
Another Patriots defensive back,
Alfonzo Dennard, is serving a 60-day
jail term in Lincoln, Neb., for a 2012
assault on a police officer. He is expect-
ed to be out in time for training camp.
COLTS
INDIANAPOLIS The Colts have
agreed to terms with free-agent receiver
Hakeem Nicks.
Team owner Jim Irsay confirmed the
deal Friday on Twitter. Terms of the deal
were not immediately available.
The injured Nicks caught 56 passes
for 896 yards but did not score a touch-
down last season with the New York
Giants. His contract expired after the
season.
RAVENS
Steve Smith is eager to continue his
NFL career in Baltimore, where hes just
a short flight from his permanent home
in Charlotte.
The longtime Panthers standout wide
receiver didnt waste time finding a new
home, signing a 3-year contract with
the Ravens about 24 hours after being
released by Carolina.
The Ravens announced the signing of
the 34-year-old Smith on Friday.
The Ravens also got a 4-year deal
with linebacker Daryl Smith that solidi-
fies the middle of Baltimores defense.
The sides reached agreement on Smiths
32nd birthday.
In other moves Friday:
Chicago agreed to a 1-year con-
tract with 2-time Pro Bowl cornerback
Charles Tillman. Tillman, 33, is com-
ing off a season limited to eight games
because of a torn right triceps.
Eight-year veteran cornerback and
rookie negotiator Cortland Finnegan
found a new home in Miami after an
injury-plagued 2013 with the Rams.
Finnegan said he spoke with a lot of
general managers and head coaches
around the NFL but his only free-agent
visit was to Miami, and the 2008 All-
Pro represented himself. The Dolphins
added former Rams guard Shelley Smith
with a $5.5 million, 2-year contract.
Detroit re-signed tight end Brandon
Pettigrew, who will get a $16 million,
4-year contract with half the money
guaranteed. He has 284 receptions for
2,828 yards and 16 touchdowns in five
NFL seasons with the Lions.

Follow the money
in free agency
By BARRY WILNER
Associated Press
NEW YORK Hidden
money, dead money, funny
money.
They all apply to NFL free
agency, where the price tags
never really are what the teams,
agents or players say they are.
Sure, there are a very few
deals that are exactly what they
say on paper, such as stand-
out cornerback Darrelle Revis
1-year, $12 million contract
with New England. No confu-
sion on the length or the value.
Compare that to what the
guy Revis is replacing with the
Patriots, Aqib Talib, got with
Denver. The Broncos offered
Talib a 6-year contract for $57
million, with $26 million guar-
anteed. An average of
well over $9 million a
season, right?
Uh, not quite.
The only money
Talib definitely will
see is the $26 mil-
lion, which hell get
even if he is injured
and barely plays for
Denver. In four years,
he will be 32 and unless he
plays like, well, a vintage Revis,
the Broncos arent likely to
have interest in the rest of this
contract.
For nearly every agreement
in free agency, thats how it is.
Follow the guaranteed money,
be skeptical of the back end
of all deals especially the
extremely lengthy ones.
Bill Polian, who built three
Super Bowl teams (Buffalo,
Carolina, Indianapolis), points
to Green Bay as an example of
how to approach free agency.
Notice that the Packers barely
have taken part in it this year,
their usual course.
Free agency is not free; it
costs two things you never get
back: time and money, says
Polian, now an analyst for
ESPN and SiriusXM. When
you have a good team and the
Green Bay Packers have a good
team and a good personnel
department that drafts well
then it behooves you to stay
conservative in free agency.
Sign your own and be in a posi-
tion to make very good judg-
ments on a few players in free
agency.
That is what the Packers
have done through the years,
made terrific decisions. They
do all the right things. Fans
want you to go out and play
fantasy football now; that is the
last thing you should be doing.
That money if you miss is
gone and you dont get it back.
How much money is actu-
ally gone is fluid, of course, and
the ramifications of big spend-
ing almost always are felt down
the line.
Look at the Broncos, who
have committed $60 million up
front to three defensive players:
Talib, end DeMarcus Ware and
safety T.J. Ward. All good play-
ers some would cast pass-
rushing master Ware as a great
player. They will upgrade a unit
that could provide the needed
balance for Peyton Mannings
offense and lift Denver to the
championship it missed out on
against Seattle.
For Denver, there is an
extra sense of urgency because
Manning turns 38 this month.
So vice president of football
operations John Elway is push-
ing his chips to the center of the
table, going all in.
And if 5-time MVP Manning
retires after this season or next?
The Broncos will free up a huge
chunk they have been spend-
ing on a Hall of Fame-caliber
quarterback, of course. But they
also would be on the hook in
a big way for those defensive
contracts if they
werent structured
with so much money
up front.
So when
Manning leaves, if
Denver goes into
rebuilding mode,
theres far less
chance the back ends
of those deals will be
carried out.
As the 31-year-old Ware said
after leaving Dallas for Denver:
Theyre trying to make a state-
ment a statement were a
team to be reckoned with. Their
mentality is a now mentality.
Not looking forward to next
season or the season after that,
the time is now.
For teams like the Broncos
and Patriots and Saints, with
aging but still dynamic quarter-
backs, thats true. Get it done
while Manning, Tom Brady
and Drew Brees remain elite
players. Committing big bucks
around them while avoiding
overwhelming long-term impli-
cations, is understandable.
Its when non-contenders
put together such deals and
become hamstrung by them,
then try to solve their issues
with more spending, that free
agency becomes a pit.
The Jets, for example, will
be paying receiver Santonio
Holmes $2.25 million in 2014,
even though they cut him last
week. Holmes was a bust for
New York. And if they eventu-
ally release Mark Sanchez, the
cap hit for this year will still
be nearly $5 million for the
quarterback no longer on their
roster.
Dead money.
You want to avoid dead
money, Polian says. People
make a big deal out of dead
money when you count it at the
end of the year. It comes with
the territory; you are going to
have some always. As a general
rule you would like to avoid as
much of it as you can.
How do you structure a
contract that pays the player
commensurately and is cap-
friendly and at the same time
avoids dead money? That is a
very difficult equation to solve.
Bengals extend coach Lewis contract
Lewis
(Continued from page 6)
Mitchell also had six
assists, four rebounds and
a steal.
Tierra Floyd, like
Mitchell a first-team all-
stater, had 21 points for the
seventh-ranked Eagles (24-
4), with Kaayla Mcintyre
adding 16.
Princeton outscored
Notre Dame 12-5 in the third
quarter and then hung on by
hitting 7-of-10 free throws
in the last 1:03 three by
Mitchell, who is headed to
Ohio State along with her
twin sister, Chelsea.

North Canton Hoover

61, Dublin Coffman 44
Third-team all-stater
Kaylee Stroemple had 18
points and fell only two
points shy of matching
Dublin Coffman in the first
half in leading North Canton
Hoover to a 61-44 victory
on Friday in a Division I
girls state semifinal.
Hoover is 26-2 and is
ranked No. 5 in the final
Associated Press regular-
season poll. It will play
for its second state title
tonight.
Second-team All-Ohioan
Julie Worley had 16 points
and first-teamer Marquia
Turner had 14.
Kamerine Taylor hit her
first four 3-pointers and
ended up 5 of 8 with 17
points for Coffman, which
is 22-7.
The Lady Vikings were
powered by a 24-2 edge in
points in the paint. They
led 32-18 at the half as
Stroemple had 16.
State
Capsules
(Continued from page 6)
They blew it open from there, sinking
one 3-pointer after another to win in a
breeze.
NO. 5 LOUISVILLE 94, HOUSTON
65
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Russ Smith scored
a career-high 42 points and Louisville
cruised to victory over Houston in the semi-
finals of the inaugural American Athletic
Conference tournament.
Smith shot 14-for-22 from the field
and 5-for-7 from 3-point range. His final
points came on a 3-point play where he hit
a reverse layup and converted the ensuing
free throw.
Luke Hancock and Montrezl Harrell
both added 12 for the Cardinals (28-5), the
tournaments second seed, who will face the
winner of Fridays second game between
top-seeded Cincinnati and Connecticut.
TaShawn Thomas and Brandon Morris
scored 13 each for Houston (17-16),
while Danuel House had 12 points and 13
rebounds as the Cougars lost for only the
second time in their last seven games.
NO. 6 VIRGINIA 64, FLORIDA
STATE 51
Joe Harris matched a season high with
20 points and No. 6 Virginia pulled away in
an Atlantic Coast Conference tournament
quarterfinal.
Anthony Gill added 16 points for the
top-seeded Cavaliers (26-6).
They shot 48 percent, forced 15 turn-
overs and earned their third double-digit
victory over the Seminoles this season
while reaching the semifinals for the first
time since 1995.
Okaro White scored 17 points and
Aaron Thomas added 13 for the ninth-
seeded Seminoles (19-13).
They shot 43 percent against one of the
nations best defenses but couldnt keep the
Cavaliers off the boards when it counted
most and were denied their third victory
over a top-seeded team since 2009.
NO. 8 MICHIGAN 64, ILLINOIS 63
INDIANAPOLIS Jordan Morgan
scored on a layup with 7.9 seconds left to
send No. 8 Michigan to the semifinals of
the Big Ten tournament.
The Illini had a chance to win on Tracy
Abrams shot but it bounced off the front of
the rim as the final buzzer sounded.
Michigan (24-7), the regular season
champion, advances to todays semifinals
with its seventh straight win. It will face
either fourth-seeded Nebraska or fifth-
seeded Ohio State two teams it has
not lost to this season. The Buckeyes and
Cornhuskers play later Friday.
Conference player of the year Nik
Stauskas scored 19 points to lead Michigan,
which won despite scoring six points in the
final 7 minutes.
Illinois (19-14) was led by Abrams and
Rayvonte Rice with 11 points each.
NO. 16 IOWA STATE 94, NO. 10
KANSAS 83
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Georges
Niang scored 25 points before leaving with
a bloody gash to his forehead in the clos-
ing minutes and Iowa State held on to beat
Kansas and reach its first Big 12 tourna-
ment title game since 2000.
DeAndre Kane had five 3-pointers and
scored 20 points and Big 12 player of the
year Melvin Ejim added 19 points for the
fourth-seeded Cyclones (25-8), who will
play for just their second tournament title
against the winner of Texas-Baylor tonight.
Relying on some hot outside shooting,
Iowa State took charge in the second half,
then held on as the top-seeded Jayhawks
(24-9) tried to make a late run to get back
into the game.
Perry Ellis led Kansas with 30 points.
Andrew Wiggins finished with 22.
N.C. STATE 66, NO. 11 SYRACUSE
63
GREENSBORO, N.C. T.J. Warren
scored 28 points while Ralston Turner
banked in the go-ahead 3-pointer with
2:28 left to help North Carolina State upset
Syracuse in the Atlantic Coast Conference
tournament quarterfinals.
The seventh-seeded Wolfpack (21-12)
blew a 10-point second-half lead but came
through with two clutch baskets late to hold
off the Orange (27-5).
(Continued from page 6)
Oh, its supposed to snow Monday? he
asked. So I guess if we cant race then we
can still have her on Monday.
Kenseth does not have standby drivers for
this weekend at Bristol, where hes scheduled
to run both the Nationwide and Cup races.
Meanwhile, Paul Menard has Truck Series
champion Matt Crafton on standby for a sec-
ond consecutive week.
Menards wife, Jennifer, is expecting their
first child in North Carolina and Crafton was
on standby last weekend in Las Vegas. He
wasnt needed as Menard finished a season-
best third.

Saturday, March 15, 2014 The Herald 9
Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
www.delphosherald.com
MONDAY, MARCH 17, 2014
Listen to the advice about your
career that important people are
giving you if youd like to advance
this year. Implement sound strategies
and expand your working methods. A
detailed approach could be required.
Other people can only take you so far;
the final steps must be yours alone.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Dont feel overwhelmed by recent
events. Take a step back from all the
commotion in order to focus. Avoid
taking your frustration out on those
you love. Reassess a partnership if
you have reservations.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Its
a good day to finish a project youve
left dangling. Bypass personality
problems so that you can keep
moving forward. Working as a team
player will be in your best interest.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- A promising career opportunity
is apparent, although it may
require a shift in vocation. Your
past achievements have not gone
unnoticed. Dont let a lack of
confidence hold you back.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You
need to stop romanticizing the past.
The future can be just as rewarding if
you think and act progressively. Take
advantage of the new and exciting
experiences awaiting you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Its good to have strong opinions,
but dont force your will on others.
Accentuate the positive and offer
people a little kindness, consideration
and hands-on help.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will
have to take bold steps if you want
to move forward. You might need to
enlist your friends and relatives to aid
you. Their assistance will help you
excel.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You
are in a terrific upswing right now.
Hesitation at this point will only hold
you back. If you keep a positive
attitude, you will be able to accomplish
everything you set out to do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Its a
great day to try something new. Shake
out the cobwebs, step out of your
comfort zone and investigate some
different yet appealing activities. Take
on a physical or mental challenge.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You
may be reluctant to take on a new
project, even though you have all the
skills and resources necessary for
success. Believe in yourself, and you
will come out on top.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Being too outspoken will lead to
trouble. Take extra care when dealing
with colleagues. An innocuous
comment on your part may be seen
as an insult.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --
An issue that you thought was settled
will resurface. Do whatever it takes
to improve on your past performance
and make a favorable impression on
those involved.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Diligence, not speed, will be the order
of the day. Despite your enthusiasm
for the task ahead, you should
proceed slowly and carefully to avoid
a costly mistake.
COPYRIGHT 2014 United Feature
Syndicate, Inc.
SUNDAY, MARCH 16, 2014
This year will present professional
opportunities and personal problems.
Explain to the important people in
your life what your plans are and how
much of your time is required to see
them through. Emotional upsets can
be avoided if you share your dreams,
hopes and wishes.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You
will need to tread lightly. You will face
hypersensitive people looking for
a battle. Busy yourself around the
home, or find some solitary activity to
keep you out of trouble.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If
someone criticizes you, consider
why. You may want to begin again
with a fresh attitude. Your reputation
could be damaged if you arent giving
your best.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Strive to listen to any advice offered
you. Although it may not be what you
want to hear, give any suggestions a
fair chance. The results could prove
rewarding.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Try to
surround yourself with good friends
and steadfast allies. You may be
subject to criticism if you go against
the grain. Honesty is your best
recourse.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
You need to laugh more. Gather with
good friends and family for some light
entertainment. A card or board game
will help keep your mind off your
troubles.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Many
learning tools are available to you.
Travel or education will enable you to
study different people and cultures.
A trip to an exotic location will be
enlightening.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Dont
let your emotions get the better
of you. Deal with others in a non-
confrontational manner. Logic and
reason will advance your cause more
than harsh words or accusations.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You
may feel a temptation to be a couch
potato. Get together with a friend and
do something active instead. Some
fresh air and exercise will rouse your
muscles and your mind.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Reckless spending and extravagant
purchases will not win over the
people you are dealing with. You
cant buy respect. Straight talk and
direct action will make a far better
impression.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Interactions with family members
will be difficult. Remove yourself from
potential conflicts by getting together
with friends. Given enough time,
thorny issues will dissipate. Fruitless
arguments will only compound the
problem.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --
Make financial matters your priority.
Scrutinize your paperwork to be
sure that you have all the pertinent
documents. You may uncover a new
way to limit your expenses.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Youll experience an emotional
tug-of-war. Take an unbiased look at
your personal relationships. Perhaps
someone isnt as attentive as youd
like. Make your feelings known calmly
and sincerely.

Missing plane: Piracy
theory gains more credence
JOAN LOWY
Associated Press
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Piracy
and pilot suicide are among the scenarios
under study as investigators grow increas-
ingly certain the missing Malaysia Airlines
jet changed course and headed west after
its last radio contact with air traffic con-
trollers.
The latest evidence suggests the plane
didnt experience a catastrophic incident
over the South China Sea as was initially
suspected. Some experts theorize that one
of the pilots, or someone else with flying
experience, hijacked the plane or commit-
ted suicide by plunging the jet into the sea.
Adding to the speculation that someone
was flying the jet, The New York Times
on Friday quoted sources familiar with the
investigation as saying that the plane expe-
rienced significant changes in altitude after
it lost contact with ground control, and
altered its course more than once.
A U.S. official told The Associated
Press earlier that investigators are examin-
ing the possibility of human intervention
in the planes disappearance, adding it may
have been an act of piracy. The official,
who wasnt authorized to talk to the media
and spoke on condition of anonymity, said
it was possible the plane may have landed
somewhere. The official later said there
was no solid information on who might
have been involved.
While other theories are still being
examined, the official said key evidence
suggesting human intervention is that con-
tact with the Boeing 777s transponder
stopped about a dozen minutes before a
messaging system on the jet quit. Such a
gap would be unlikely in the case of an in-
flight catastrophe.
A Malaysian official, who declined to
be identified because he is not authorized
to brief the media, said only a skilled avia-
tor could navigate the plane the way it was
flown after its last confirmed location over
the South China Sea. The official said it
had been established with a more than 50
percent degree of certainty that military
radar had picked up the missing plane after
it dropped off civilian radar.
Malaysias acting transport minister,
Hishammuddin Hussein, said the country
had yet to determine what happened to
the plane after it ceased communicating
with ground control about 40 minutes into
the flight to Beijing on March 8 with 239
people aboard.
He said investigators were still trying
to establish that military radar records
of a blip moving west across the Malay
Peninsula into the Strait of Malacca showed
Flight MH370.
I will be the most happiest person
if we can actually confirm that it is the
MH370, then we can move all (search)
assets from the South China Sea to the
Strait of Malacca, he told reporters. Until
then, he said, the international search effort
would continue expanding east and west
from the planes last confirmed location.
Though some investigators are now
convinced that human intervention
caused the disappearance, U.S. officials
told the White House at a briefing Friday
that they have run all the traps and
come up with no good information on
who might been involved, according to
an official familiar with the meeting. The
meeting was attended by State and Defense
Department officials, the CIA, the Federal
Aviation Administration and the National
Transportation Safety Board, among oth-
ers.
I dont think there is any consensus on
a theory, the official said. Theyre not
hearing anything in their surveillance that
would indicate that this is part of a plot.
Another U.S. official, who also spoke
on condition of anonymity, said investiga-
tors looking for the plane have run out of
clues except for a type of satellite data that
has never been used before to find a miss-
ing plane, and is very inexact.
8 dead in NY gas blast as
rescue operation goes on
NEW YORK (AP) The bodies of all eight people reported
missing after a deadly gas explosion destroyed two buildings
have been recovered, the fire commissioner said Friday, but work-
ers are treating the scene as a rescue operation in case there are
unknown survivors in the rubble.
Salvatore Cassano said no one else is known to be unaccounted
for but workers will continue to scour the debris from the flat-
tened apartment buildings for victims. More than 60 people were
injured by Wednesday mornings explosion, and more than 100
others were displaced.
Cassano said about 70 percent of the debris had been cleared at
the upper Manhattan blast site. But he said the pace was expected
to quicken after firefighters removed a hazardous rear wall.
He predicted detectives and fire marshals would gain access
to the East Harlem buildings basements by midday Saturday to
begin the investigation into what caused the explosion.
Right now we are in the process of removing the final amount
of debris, Cassano said. We should be moving much more
quickly now.
The rescue effort continued as federal investigators announced
that gas was detected in underground tests of the site in the hours
after the explosion, lending support to the hypothesis a gas leak
may have been the cause.
National Transportation Safety Board team member Robert
Sumwalt said utility Consolidated Edison dug dozens of holes
about 18 to 24 inches deep around the blast site and measured gas
levels in them soon after the explosion. Gas concentration was up
to 20 percent in at least five spots, and normal levels in the citys
soil should be zero, he said.
Somehow or another, natural gas did work its way into the
ground, he said, adding that pressure testing of nearby pipes was
beginning to look for potential leaks.
The NTSB, which investigates pipeline accidents, will conduct
an inquiry after police and fire officials locate what might have
sparked the blast.
Police have identified six of the dead: Griselde Camacho, 45,
a Hunter College security officer; Carmen Tanco, 67, a dental
hygienist who took part in church-sponsored medical missions to
Africa and the Caribbean; Andreas Panagopoulos, 43, a musician;
Rosaura Hernandez, 22, a restaurant cook from Mexico; George
Ameado, 44, a handyman who lived in one of the buildings that
collapsed; and Alexis Salas, 22, a restaurant worker.
Mexican officials said another Mexican woman, Rosaura
Barrios Vazquez, 43, was among those killed.
FDIC sues 16
big banks that
set key rate
WASHINGTON (AP)
The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp. has sued 16
big banks that set a key global
interest rate, accusing them
of fraud and conspiring to
keep the rate low to enrich
themselves.
The banks, which
include Bank of America
Corp., Citigroup Inc. and
JPMorgan Chase & Co. in
the U.S., are among the
worlds largest.
The FDIC says it is
seeking to recover loss-
es suffered from the rate
manipulation by 10 U.S.
banks that failed during
the financial crisis and
were taken over by the
agency. The civil lawsuit
was filed Friday in federal
court in Manhattan.
The banks rigged the
London interbank offered
rate, or LIBOR, from
August 2007 to at least mid-
2011, the FDIC alleged.
The LIBOR affects tril-
lions of dollars in contracts
around the world, includ-
ing mortgages, bonds and
consumer loans. A British
banking trade group sets
the LIBOR every morning
after the 16 international
banks submit estimates of
what it costs them to bor-
row. The FDIC also sued
that trade group, the British
Bankers Association.
By submitting false
estimates of their borrow-
ing costs used to calcu-
late LIBOR, the 16 banks
fraudulently and collusive-
ly suppressed (the LIBOR
rate), and they did so to their
advantage, the FDIC said in
the suit.
Obamas promise to review deportations has risks
WASHINGTON (AP) President
Barack Obamas new promise to seek
ways to ease his administrations rate of
deportations aims to mollify angry immi-
grant advocates but carries risks for a
White House that has insisted it has little
recourse.
In asking Homeland Security Secretary
Jeh Johnson to review enforcement prac-
tices, Obama could undo already fragile
congressional efforts to overhaul immigra-
tion laws. And he still could fall short of
satisfying the demands of pro-immigrant
groups that have been increasing pressure
on him to dramatically reverse the admin-
istrations record of deportations.
The White House announced Thursday
that Obama had directed Johnson, who
was sworn in three months ago, to see how
the department can conduct enforcement
more humanely within the confines of the
law. Then the president summoned 17
labor and immigration leaders to the White
House Friday afternoon for what some par-
ticipants described as a spirited discussion
of his deportations policies and the strategy
for enacting a comprehensive congressio-
nal overhaul of immigration laws.
The president displayed a great deal
of sympathy for the families affected by
the deportation machinery, Frank Sharry,
executive director of Americas Voice, said
after the nearly two-hour session. There
was less agreement on when and what
should be done about it by the president.
Participants emerged from the meeting
unified in their call for House Republicans
to act on immigration legislation. Privately,
some said Obama voiced frustration dur-
ing the meeting with the criticism some of
them have directed at him, including call-
ing him deporter in chief.
Republican House Speaker John
Boehners office pointedly warned that
fixes to the immigration system should
be carried out by Congress, not by the
president on his own. The Democratic-
controlled Senate last year passed a com-
prehensive bill that would enhance border
security and provide a path to citizenship
for many of the 11 million immigrants who
entered the country illegally or overstayed
their visas. But the Republican-held House
has delayed action and favors a more
piecemeal approach.
Theres no doubt we have an immigra-
tion system that is failing families and our
economy, but until it is reformed through
the democratic process, the president is
obligated to enforce the laws we have,
Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said
Friday. Failing to do so would damage
perhaps beyond repair our ability
to build the trust necessary to enact real
immigration reform.
But immigrant advocates insisted
Obama needs to act promptly and broadly
to reduce deportations, which have reached
nearly 2 million during his presidency.
Cart

We cut it in two and
put steel in to lengthen it
out, said Etzler. Theres
a lot to doing it, stretching
everything out throttle
cables, brake lines, put-
ting another seat in.
When asked how long
it took to complete the
project, Etzler belly-
laughed. Ricker smiled
and explained. It took a
month and a half but the
first one always takes lon-
ger.
Tr enkamp hi msel f
located the mechanism
that locks his wheelchair
safely into the floor of
the cart. Ricker explained
that the original front seat
is now located near the
back of the cart. It sits
just behind the area where
Trenkamp can now drive
in and park his wheelchair.
A new seat was installed in
front. A new steel roof had
to be made and installed
as well.
Just for Cory, said
Ricker. Just for his safe-
ty.

It seats seven.
We can load up with
the grandkids and go to
Jennings Park, said
Trenkamps dad.
Now his son Cory can
join them, although he has
other destinations in mind.
We dont have sidewalks
near our house, which
there should be. Now I can
get up to town if I want
to. Take it to the game;
maybe use it as a bull pen
car. You get tired of riding
around in minivans.
Ri cker suggest ed
mounting a drop-down
television in the ceiling of
the golf cart. Maybe next
year, grinned Trenkamp.
(Continued from page 1)
According to NHTSA in 2011, on
average, one person was killed every
53 minutes in a drunk-driving crash in
the United States. Most of these crashes
involved drunk drivers who had blood
alcohol concentrations of .15 or higher,
almost twice the legal limit of .08.
To prevent these tragedies from occur-
ring, the Safe Communities Coalition
recommends the following steps to have
a safe and happy St. Patricks Day:
Before the festivities begin, plan a
way to safely get home at the end of the
night.
Before drinking, designate a sober
driver and leave your car keys at home.
If youre impaired, use a taxi, call
a sober friend or family member, or use
public transportation to get home safely.
If you see a drunk driver on the road,
contact local police. You could save a
life.
And remember, if you know people
who are about to drive or ride while
impaired, take their keys and help them
make other arrangements to get to where
they are going safely.
To prevent deaths and injuries, the
Patrol is partnering with local law
enforcement and safety advocates around
the state to increase enforcement on
Ohios roads and remind people to plan
ahead to designate a sober driver. More
than 99 local law enforcement agencies
around the state will conduct enforce-
ment activity, saturation patrols and
sobriety checkpoints funded by federal
grants provided through the Patrols Ohio
Traffic Safety Office.
For bars and permit holders, over-
serving or serving underage customers
could also mean costly fines, suspension
or revocation of their liquor permit. The
Ohio Investigative Unit and other safety
partners have been working to educate
motorists and permit holders of these
consequences in advance reminding peo-
ple of the dangers of driving impaired
and that over-serving is against the law.
As always, motorists are encouraged
to call #677 to report drug activity or
impaired drivers.
