The cost of that priceless bundle of joy
This is the first of a threepart series on the cost of starting a family. BY MONICA GERDEMAN Staff Writer Putnam Sentinel PUTNAM COUNTY For many couples, the next step after marriage is having a baby. The happiness of that little bundle of joy is priceless but there are a few things to know regarding funds when they expect to be expecting. From the day parents begin to try having a baby, their doctor may ask the mother to begin supplements or vitamins based on her health or the health of the baby. For example, many doctors recommend an iron supplement to help fight anemia and with iron, a mother may consider a Vitamin C tablet to help their body absorb the iron. As the list of supplements grows, this can be an additional cost many parents may not have thought about. An iron tablet on average can cost between $5 to $15 for over-the-counter options. The first doctors appointment can be nerve-racking and maybe a little scary, but if parents are not insured, it can be a frightening financially Delphos, Ohio

Suicide bomber kills guard at US Embassy in Turkey

BY SUZAN FRASER The Associated Press who was behind it was not known. A Turkish TV journalist was seriously wounded in the 1:15 p.m. blast in the Turkish capital, and two other guards had lighter wounds, officials said. The state-run Anadolu Agency identified the bomber as Ecevit Sanli. It said the 40-year-old Turkish man was a member of the outlawed Revolutionary Peoples Liberation PartyFront, or DHKP-C, which has claimed responsibility for assassinations and bombings since the 1970s. The group has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States but had been relatively quiet in recent years. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in her farewell speech to State Department staff moments after she formally resigned as secretary of state, said we were attacked and lost one of our foreign service nationals. She said she spoke with U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardone, our team there and my Turkish counterpart. I told them how much we valued their commitment and their sacrifice. Sen. John Kerry, the incoming secretary of state, also was briefed. The U.S. Embassy building in Ankara is heavily protected and located near several other embassies, including those of Germany

ANKARA, Turkey In the second deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post in five months, a suicide bomber struck the American Embassy in Ankara on Friday, killing a Turkish security guard in what the White House described as a terrorist attack. Washington immediately warned Americans to stay away from all U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey and to be wary in large crowds. Turkish officials said the bombing was linked to leftist domestic militants. The attack drew condemnation from Turkey, the U.S., Britain and other nations and officials from both Turkey and the U.S. pledged to work together to fight terrorism. We strongly condemn what was a suicide attack against our embassy in Ankara, which took place at the embassys outer security perimeter, said White House spokesman Jay Carney. A suicide bombing on the perimeter of an embassy is by definition an act of terror. It is a terrorist attack. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said police believe the bomber was connected to a domestic leftist militant group. Carney, however, said the motive for the attack and

and France. U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey have been targeted previously by terrorists. In 2008, an attack blamed on al-Qaida-affiliated militants outside the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul left three assailants and three policemen dead. On Sept. 11, 2012, terrorists attacked a U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. The attackers in Libya were suspected to have ties to Islamist extremists, and one is in custody in Egypt. Fridays bombing occurred at a security checkpoint at the side entrance to the U.S. Embassy, which is used by staff. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said a man detonated a suicide vest at the checkpoint on the outer perimeter of the embassy compound. He came to this first point of access to the compound where you have to have your ID checked, you have to go through security, Nuland said. The guard who was killed was standing outside the checkpoint, while the two wounded guards were standing in a more protected area, said Interior Minister Muammer Guler. The two were treated on the scene and did not require hospital treatment, he said.

This is why it is important for parents to see if they are insured and what expenses the insurance will cover. Greg Brown with Nationwide Insurance in Ottawa advised, Make sure you know the right questions to ask your insurance company before you plan to get pregnant. Some health insurance plans will cover the pregnancy and delivery but others do not, and its really something you should ask. Then comes the baby See BUNDLE, page 10

Healthier schools: Goodbye candy and greasy snacks

BY MARY CLARE JALONICK The Associated Press WASHINGTON Goodbye candy bars and sugary cookies. Hello baked chips and diet sodas. The government for the first time is proposing broad new standards to make sure all foods sold in schools are more healthful, a change that would ban the sale of almost all candy, high-calorie sports drinks and greasy foods on campus. Under new rules the Department of Agriculture proposed Friday, school vending machines would start selling water, lower-calorie sports drinks, diet sodas and baked chips instead. Lunchrooms that now sell fatty a la carte items like mozzarella sticks and nachos would have to switch to healthier pizzas, low-fat hamburgers, fruit cups and yogurt. The rules, required under a child nutrition law passed by Congress in 2010, are part of the governments effort to combat childhood obesity. While many schools already have made improvements in their lunch menus and vending machine choices, others still are selling high-fat, highcalorie foods. Under the proposal, the Agriculture Department would set fat, calorie, sugar and sodium limits on almost all foods sold in schools. Current standards already regulate the nutritional content of school breakfasts and lunches that are subsidized by the federal government, but most lunch rooms also have a la carte lines that sell other foods. And food sold through vending machines and in other ways outside the lunchroom has not been federally regulated. Parents and teachers work hard to instill healthy eating habits in our kids, and these efforts should be supported when kids walk through See SNACKS, page 2

Hunt for murderer mistakenly freed in Chicago

BY JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO Authorities searched Friday for a convicted murderer from Indiana who was mistakenly released after a Chicago court appearance, as officials in Illinois admitted they lost paperwork directing them to return him to Indiana. It turned out Steven L. Robbins didnt even need to be brought to Chicago in the first place, and Cook County officials on Friday also pointed fingers over who was responsible for that mistake. Robbins, 44, was serving a 60-year sentence for murder in Indiana and was escorted by Cook County sheriffs deputies to Chicago this week for a court appearance in a separate case involving drug and armed violence charges a case that had actually been dismissed in 2007. After appearing before two Cook County Circuit Court judges, Robbins was taken to a jail on Chicagos South Side. He was released hours later, instead of being sent back to Indiana to continue his murder sentence. The public was not alerted that he was on the loose for about 24 hours. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart on Friday took responsibility for Robbins release, saying a document showing he should be returned to Indiana disappeared while his deputies were transporting the prisoner, sometime between a Tuesday court appearance and his return to jail after a second court appearance Wednesday. Robbins was released Wednesday evening. Were not ducking the fact we dropped the ball. We made mistakes, Dart said. The public deserves much more. Were going to find out what went wrong here. But Dart and Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez, both prominent local Democrats, exchanged tense words about who should accept responsibility for having Robbins brought to Chicago from Indiana. Alvarez said her office had told Darts office that it didnt need to bring Robbins from Indiana because the drug and armed violence case was closed. But Darts office proceeded anyway, she said, because of confusion over the outcome of the case and because Robbins demanded to stand trial. The Cook County Sheriffs Police, despite the fact that the assistant states attorney told them that they didnt have to bring him back, they thought it would be better if they did bring him back to get this all cleared up because the guy keeps writing letters demanding trial, Alvarez told reporters. But Dart said his office sought and was granted permission from the state attorneys office to bring Robbins to Chicago. The sheriff showed The Associated Press a copy of the extradition request from September signed by one of Alvarezs prosecutors. We cant just go to any state in the country and say You know what?

This is so not how this was supposed to be. I quit smoking and my lungs were supposed to clear and I was adding years to my life and getting sick less. Reality? Coughing, coughing, coughing. I thought perhaps it was my lungs purging more than 30 years of cigarette smoke but I dont think so. Throat hurts. Chest hurts. Head hurts. Probably got a fever. Yuck! Flu bug, why did you have to visit me? It was inevitable. You cant hide from it. It gets us all eventually. But I was supposed to get a free pass this year because I quit smoking. Its not fair. So now I have to get this written, share my misery with you and go to bed. Is it cold enough out there for ya? I love walking the dog and having my nostrils freeze together. Im just lucky this

one is almost as cold as I am because he doesnt have much fur. Sadie could stick it out for a while with her triple coat. Im ready for the heat wave today and I wont even mind a little snow. Im hoping to sleep in a bit and wake up to a white wonderland. It will look lovely while I snivel and cough. I wonder if Buckeye Chuck and Punxsutawney Phil will agree today. I think it would be cool to have my own ground hog and hold a party each Groundhog Day and let everyone come over and see if my little guys sees his shadow or not. So which will it be? Six more weeks of winter or an early spring? Ill tell you a secret. Groundhog Day is about six weeks from the first day of spring. Coincidence? I dont know, you tell me. It would still be neat to have my own groundhog. Ive have been sleeping better since I quit smoking and thats no laughing matter. I appreciate sleep and theres nothing better than good sleep. Things are starting to taste better, too. I didnt think things tasted bad before so this could get interesting and dangerous. Theres this thing about quitting smoking: its really hard and you find yourself trying to replace it with something and its usually food. I think Popsicles may be my saving grace. There is one thing I hope I dont do after officially becoming an ex-smoker. That would be to get down on people who still smoke. If anyone knows how hard it is, I do. It was a big decision to put it out there in a column and let everyone know.

On the Other Hand

by Nancy Spencer
When smokers talk about it, its kind of like a club. We all know how it is. We all know how much they control us and when one of us tries to quit and doesnt make it, well, we all know that its hard and it may take more than one try. When we see someone smoking who said they were going to try and quit, we feel their pain. Theres no judging. Were bummed because we thought maybe if they could do it, we could too. So remember that. Not necessarily for me but for all those trying to shake the nicotine monkey off their back.

going to take someone out of your prison and bring him here. Theyre the ones that signed off on allowing us to go get this guy, Dart said. Dart also said that because of an antiquated computer system, his office thought an arrest warrant for Robbins in the case was still active, which is why it asked the state attorneys office for permission to extradite Robbins. Its our fault but we move 100,000 people a day and its all done with paper, Dart said. Federal and local law enforcement officers searching for Robbins were knocking on doors in Illinois and Indiana on Friday, including those of his friends and relatives, the sheriffs office said. The FBI and U.S. Marshals Service offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to his apprehension. In a late afternoon interview, Dart said there had been sightings of the fugitive and that authorities had been close to catching him. Robbins, a Gary, Ind., native, was serving a sentence for murder and weapons convictions out of Marion County in Indiana. Witnesses to the 2002 killing told police Robbins was arguing with his wife outside a birthday party in Indianapolis when a man intervened, telling Robbins he should not hit a woman, according to court documents. The witnesses said Robbins then retrieved a gun from a car and shot the man, Rutland Melton, in the chest before fleeing.

Elementary and middle schools could sell only water, low-fat milk or 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice. High schools could sell some sports drinks, diet sodas and iced teas, but the calories would be limited. Drinks would be limited to 12-ounce portions in middle schools, and 8-ounce portions in elementary schools. The standards will cover vending machines, the a la carte lunch lines, snack bars and any other foods regularly sold around school. They would not apply to in-school fundraisers or bake sales, though states have the power to regulate them. The new guidelines also would not apply to after-school concessions at school games or theater events, goodies brought from home for classroom celebrations, or anything students bring for their own personal consumption.

The question of the day: Did he see his shadow? Winter seems to have arrived in all its glory and hopefully will make a dramatic exit shortly. But at the moment, I am glad Im not one of those people that has to deliver mail in this weather. As many of you already know, the person attributed with the quotation Neither snow nor rain, etc. was Herodotus, a historian who lived in the Fifth Century BC in Ancient Greece. The statement is certainly a far cry from todays modern postal service. But at the moment, I am thinking about the weather that a chosen few will enjoy in Alaska this summer. I am looking for 2-5 additional people who would like to join us for the trip of a lifetime. We do have a woman who will be traveling by herself but would welcome a roommate so if you or someone you know might be so inclined. We leave on July 27 and return on August 5. Our small caravan of travelers will be in Anchorage, Denali, Talkeetna, Seward, Kenai Fjords/Peninsula and on the glaciers using rafts, kayaks, dog sleds, planes, trains, ATVs, Jeeps, boats and riding in luxury conversion vehicles. Lodging will be at quaint inns and bed & breakfasts. We will have our final meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the museum to work out the last few details and meet all those who have paid their deposit to go. Curious? Interested? Stop in. All of us are your friends and neighbors from the surrounding community. I did hear a large groan Monday when the postage rates were elevated another $.01 to $.46 for a first class ounce letter. That equates to about a 2.5 percent increase in cost in comparison to the $.62 cent increase over the last weeks in the cost of a gallon of gas. But I digress. Of the industrialized nations in the world the US still enjoys the least expensive mail service. In most categories, the rates only increased on the very first ounce additional ounces are still the same. The year 2013 is a milestone in many categories. One such milestone will be the theme of this years Gala Celebration on Feb. 17 in the upstairs gallery of the Museum of Postal History. It is the 100th Anniversary of the creation of parcel post. This service actually went into effect on Jan. 1 of that year and was the beginning of the US Post Office Departments surge as the forefront of a global economy. This enactment was the end of a very long and heated debate in Congress. Businesses in rural communities relied on

the local farmer for a major portion of their retail business. By allowing large urban stores such as Sears & Roebuck, Montgomery Wards and Wannamakers to package their goods and deliver them inexpensively to the American farm, it was predicted that this alone would end the small town businesses. Ironically, the prediction did come true but only in small part to the beginning of parcel post. It has been said that on the table in the American farmhouse you would find just two items the family Bible and a Sears catalog. If you visit the Delphos Canal Commission Museum, you will find a Sears car on display. Yes you could purchase a car, a weapon, a home and just about anything else you could possibly want and have it delivered to your door. Remember the reason I say to your door is because Rural Free Delivery (RFD) began in 1896 as an experiment in West Virginia. Our Gala Celebration will include drinks, a buffet dinner, music by Bob Ulm, desserts by Ruth Ann and trivia contest which will require you to find the answers to questions by touring the museum, and the awarding of our grand door prize of a weeks vacation in your choice of either Lake Tahoe or Palm Springs, California. Reservations will be accepted by sending your check for $25 per person to: MPH, PO Box 174, Delphos OH 45833-0174. It is ironic that we chose to celebrate this service just as the postal service has begun to change various characteristics of this type of mail. First, Parcel Post is being renamed Standard Post and will only be available for purchase at the post office. Second, Parcel Select is replacing Parcel Post for online postage vendors and will now include free delivery confirmation. Other important events this year include the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Highway (the first coast to coast paved highway), the 100th anniversary of the Delphos Flood and the 100th anniversary of the opening of New Yorks Grand Central Station. On March 1, 1913, the 16th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified creating Income Tax and one week later, the Internal Revenue Service began collection of income taxes. The first minimum wage law was put into effect in Oregon and the first crossword puzzle was printed in one of New Yorks newspapers the NY World with just 32 clues. To commemorate this great publishing event, the US Postal Service issued a stamp to honor crossword puzzles in 1997.

Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it inflames the great. Bussy-Rabutin, French soldier and writer (1618-1693)

This and
by HELEN KAVERMAN
Last week you were introduced to the ancestors of Johan Heinrich Recker. This segment carries the information in more detail. The earliest records were found at the Catholic Church in Ostercappeln. They are as follows: First generation: On 2 November 1701 a man named Joan Henrich Reker married Anna Margaretha Luebeker. They had three children: Anna Margaretha, 1703-1765 who married Joan Claus Simon; Catherine Margaretha, 1707 1744, who married Claus Henrich Bettenbroich and Johan Heinrich (below). Second Generation: Johan Heinrich was born on 8 July 1710, died 1 January 1802. He was a schoolteacher in the village of Hitzhausen, near Ostercappeln. He was twice married. On 11 May 1734, he married Anna (or Catherine?) Elizabeth Erdtman (or Erdewin?) who bore him a son, Joist Henrich, born in 1736. On 3 November 1738, Johan Heinrich married second Catharina Adelheid Clasing, who gave him three more children: Heinrich (below), Johan Christopher 1743 1750, and Anna Maria Wilhelmine Dorothea, born in 1752. Third Generation: Henrich was born 12 November 1739, died 15 May 1771. He also became a schoolteacher at Hitzhausen. On 19 July 1764 he married Anna Marie Holtgreve, who gave him five children before his somewhat premature death. After his death Anna Marie married second, on 14 May 1774, Joan Rudolf Leonhard. She died 11 February 1775 at the age of 31, leaving her children with no natural parents. They were: Anna Maria Elizabeth, 1765, who died an infant; Joan Henrich below; Maria Elizabeth, born 1767; Clara Maria, born in 1769 and Joan Bernd Henrich (17711847), who married in 1799, Maria Elisabeth Meyer, (or Mehring) and died a widower. The next generation was Johann Heinrich Redecker/ Recker and Anna Maria Linckemeyer, who were married 18 July 1797 in Germany. Their records are as follows: Joan Henrich was born 10 August 1766. He first married Anna Maria Senger, who died 24 June 1797, having borne him a son, Johan Jost Henrich, who died an infant in 1791. On 18 July 1797 he married second Anna Maria Linkemeyer. They were parents of Gerhard Heinrich, Johan Christopher Henrich, Klaus Henrich, Anna Maria (Recker) Moening (not verified, Johan Henrich Ludwig, Bernard Gerhard (not verified) Johannes Andreas and Hermann Henrich Peter and possibly two more children (Mary Recker Jennings and Joseph Recker). Johan Heinrich and Anna Linkemeyer Redecker came to America in 1838 on the Pennsylvania, arriving in the Port of Baltimore. As stated in last weeks chapter: There were eight in their group on the ship. Others were their oldest son Gerh. Hinr. age 43, his wife Anna Marie, age 38 and their four daughters: Marie Elizabeth, Maria Engle, Anna Maria and Clara. Their last permanent address was listed as Hitzhausen, German. Anna Linckemeyers parents were Everd Heinrich Linckemeyer and Katharina Engel Winter. They were married 18 November 1767. Everd Heinrich was born 7 October 1742 and died 12 April 1796. Katharina was born 26 September 1742 and died 5 February 1785. Fraternal grandparents of Anna Marie Linckemeyer were Joh. Heinrich Linckemeyer, who was born 16 June 1709 and died 22 November 1766, and Anna Maria Beckmanns, born 23 October 1710, and died 12

One Year Ago State American Legion Test winners, Julie Bonifas and Nick Bockey looked over photographs of some of the places they will see on their trip to Gettysburg, Pa., and Washington, D.C. Both are students at St. Johns High School and won the free five-day trip by virtue of their high scores on the test. 25 Years Ago 1988 Jan Krietemeyer scored 26 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in leading Fort Jennings to a 66-50 win over Holgate Monday night at Holgate. Other Fort Jennings players in double figures for scoring were Linda Inkrott with 12 points and 12 rebounds and Laura Broecker 11 points and 11 rebounds. The monthly bunco and euchre party was held at Paradise Oaks Nursing Home, Cloverdale. Bunco winners were Frances Horstman, Julie Driscoll and Clara Sarno. Card winners were Mary Shondal, Doyle Leatherman, Lester Davis, Joe Hageman, Bob Wilson, Maurice Ball and Blondie Cook. Lincolnview girls defeated Wayne Trace 69-48 Monday night at Wayne Trace. Diana Renner led the Lancers with 25 points and 15 rebounds. Jenny Evans added 20 points for Lincolnview. Lincolnview was 29 of 69 from the field and 10 of 16 at the foul line. 50 Years Ago 1963 Five deer were seen one mile east of Fort Jennings Wednesday. The deer, four full-grown deer and one fawn, were traveling south and crossed Highway 189 through the farms of Edmund Rekart and Alonzo Rice. They were within a few rods of the farm buildings and were moving along at a easy pace. Mark Humpert retired as foreman of the Delphos Printing and Publishing Company job printing in 1960 after serving the company for 50 years. Among the things he remembers from his boyhood were the hitching posts that used to line Main Street. As a school child about 1900, he frequently had to wait at the canal to permit the boats to go by and the bridge to be lowered again. The Senior High Westminster Youth Fellowship of the First United Presbyterian Church of Delphos will conduct a bake sale on Saturday. Homemade baked goods and candy will be on sale in the vacant store room formerly occupied by Wegers Drygoods Store. 75 Years Ago 1938 The Delphos Rifle team defeated the Kenton team Tuesday night in a match held at the Gramm range here. The contest was a Northwestern Ohio Rifle League match. The score was 1351 to 1261. L. K. Shaffer of the local team, was high man of the evening with a score of 279. F. Steiner of Kenton, was high for his team with a 262 score. The members of the Farmers Mutual Aid Association held their annual election at a meeting conducted in the G. H. Otte hall in Ottoville.

Miller, Cloverdale district. Frank Eickholt is the hold-over president and John A. Wannemacher, secretary. Arrangements for a bake sale were made Tuesday evening at the monthly meeting of the local council of the Catholic Ladies of Columbia held in the council rooms. The bake sale will be held in the West Ohio Gas office on Feb. 26. Following the business session, cards were played. Mrs. John Schulte received high honors in pinochle and Amelia Klaus, second. Mrs. Joseph Auer was high in five-hundred and Mrs. Richard Fair, second.

Controversial 3rd quarter leads Wildcats over Ottoville Big Green

Bulldogs win battle of WBL boys unbeatens vs. Titans

By Charlie Warnimont DHI Correspondent sports@putnamsentinel.com ELIDA Everyone knows Dakota Mathias is going to get his points. But when teams try to take him out of the offense, the Bulldogs need other players to step up. Thats what the Bulldogs got Friday night as they hosted Ottawa-Glandorf in a battle of Western Buckeye League unbeatens. Elida received a number of contributions throughout the lineup as the Bulldogs knocked O-G from the ranks of unbeaten in the WBL with a 71-64 win on the Union Bank Court inside the Elida Fieldhouse. The win moves the Bulldogs to 6-0 in the league and 11-7 overall as they are tied with Bath for the top spot in the WBL. O-G slipped to 5-1 in the league and 14-2 overall. Mathias had another big night for the Bulldogs tossing in 30 points. But he got plenty of help as Louis Gray scored 13, Aric Thompson had nine, while Austin Allemeier and Max Stambaugh both had seven points. This is what is going to make a difference for the rest of our season is those guys making shots, Elida coach Denny Thompson said. Dakota has done a nice job of taking on double teams and a couple of possessions there, it looked like our practice because that is what we have been working on. Tonight, it started to pay dividends as people started knocking down shots. I cant say enough about our effort. The help arrived early and late for the Bulldogs. While Mathias had 10 points for the Bulldogs in the opening quarter, Gray had four first-quarter points, while Stambaugh stepped up and hit a 3-pointer that had Elida leading 16-10. The Titans went on a 7-0 run as TJ Metzger scored five straight points and Noah Bramlage knocked down a jumper that gave O-G their only lead of

New officers for Browns Backers

The Delphos Browns Backers organization held its last meeting for the 2012-13 season Sunday at The Rustic and elected a new slate of officers. They include, front from left, Mike Metzger, Sherry Etzkorn, Steve Etzkorn, Jerry Suever and Brandon Hoehn; and back, Dale Holdgreve, Larry Gerdeman and Stan Wiechart. The highlight of the meeting involved reporting donations for 2012 amounting to $1,405, bringing the total since the charter year of 2003 to $18,087.79; and noting donations to the Santa Visitation and Community Christmas Project of $200 each.

Bulldogs (Continued from Page 6)

We thought we would use some 2-3 as well but we felt good about what we were doing in the glorified triangle-and-two. We wanted Kaufman to be a scorer; thats who we wanted to be taking shots. The way the game went really didnt allow us to get away from it too much and allowed us to rebound and get bodies on their bigger guys. And we guarded their two perimeter players that we were worried about (Metzger and Siefker). While Elida led much of the opening half, the Titans threatened to change that in the third quarter. Metzger scored the first four points of the second half to pull O-G within three points. The Bulldogs never lost the lead despite O-G pulling within 39-38 on a Bramlage jumper. The Titans had two chances to take the lead but couldnt knock down a shot. Elida then went on a 7-0 run as Gray knocked down a 3-pointer, Thompson a midrange jumper and Mathias two free throws for a 46-38 lead. The Bulldogs were outscored 7-2 to end the quarter as they took a 3-point lead to the final eight minutes. Every time we had the momentum headed in our direction, we had three or four possessions where we could have taken the lead, we never did, O-G coach Tyson McGlaughlin said. I thought we rushed a little bit. They kind of played some junk defenses that make you think and I think our guys thought a little too much. For whatever reason, we were a little sloppy, just careless tonight and when you play a good team you cant do those things. While O-G made a run at the Bulldogs in the third quarter, Elidas lead in the fourth quarter never dipped below that 3-point margin. Elida took a 10-point lead on a 3-point play by Mathias and two free throws from the junior. Free throws were an important part of the Bulldog offense in the final quarter as

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler with a minimum size limit of 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 2 fish per angler. The minimum size limit for trout and salmon is 12 inches. The black bass (largemouth and smallmouth bass) daily bag limit is 5 fish per angler with a 14-inch minimum size limit. There were some very limited ice fishing opportunities in harbors and to a lesser extent W of South Bass Island prior to Monday. Recent warm temperatures, wind and rain have ended most ice fishing. Steelheads: Mainstream rivers and tributaries are open and very high; snowy conditions cover the lakeshore area. Fishing conditions will remain poor for the next several days. Fresh steelhead will be welldistributed throughout the stream reaches. Spin-fishing anglers were using eggs, jigs tipped with maggots, or minnows. Fly fishers were using streamers, egg patterns including sucker spawn, woolly buggers and other nymphs. Vermilion River: Fish from the Vermilion boat ramp up to Birmingham. Rocky River: Fish from the Metroparks marina to the dam above the Cedar Point Road pools. Cuyahoga River: Fish in Cleveland Harbor and up into the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Chagrin River: Fish from the soccer fields upstream to the North Chagrin Reservation Metropark. Grand River: Fish from the Fairport breakwall up to Harpersfield Dam. Arcola Creek: Fish the river mouth, estuary and creek in the Metropark. Ashtabula River: Fish from the river mouth up through Indian Trails Park. Conneaut Creek: Fish from the river mouth up to the state line. Dont forget the daily bag limit of 2 steelhead trout and salmon in the aggregate valid through May 15th! Reminder: There are many public access areas on Ohio streams. If you are on private property, you must have landowner permission. Dont trespass! Private landowners have the right to restrict access on their property. In Ohio, you can gain access to the stream from public access points, but the private land ownership includes their land under the stream. The streams listed above are navigable streams, meaning you

The water temperature is 34 degrees off of Toledo and 34 degrees off of Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. The Ohio Division of Wildlife is dedicated to conserving and improving fish and wildlife resources and habitats and promoting their use and appreciation by the public so that these resources continue to enhance the quality of life for all Ohioans.

Free Basics of Coyote Hunting/Trapping Workshop in Akron AKRON Sportsmen and women interested in pursuing coyotes are encouraged to attend a free, informational workshop provided by Division of Wildlife on Tuesday in Akron. DOW biologists will cover very basic topics such as life history, calling techniques (call types and setups), appropriate firearms and ammunition, field sets and scouting. The workshop will be from 6-9 p.m. at Wildlife District Three, 912 Portage Lakes Drive, Akron. Pre-registration is required as seating is limited. Call Ken Fry at (330) 245-3030. Ohio waterfowl hunters asked to share feedback for 2013-14 seasons COLUMBUS The ODNR is requesting the states waterfowl hunters provide input on the timing of the 2013-14 fall waterfowl hunting seasons and the locations where they prefer to hunt. DOW biologists are seeking input from Ohio waterfowl hunters through an online survey so season dates and opportunities can be matched to the preferences of as many hunters as possible within federal guidelines. The survey will be available through Feb. 15 at wildohio.com. Hunters need to provide their customer identification number to participate in the survey. The customer identification number is found on all Ohio hunting and fishing licenses or at wildohio.com in the Wild Ohio Customer Center by clicking on the Manage Your Customer Account link. Customers without Internet access can call 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543) and take the survey from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. during the dates when the survey is open. Phone survey participants will also need their customer identification number. Ohio Wetlands Habitat Stamp

customers who purchased a hunting license and provided a valid e-mail address will receive an invitation to take the survey in an effort to increase awareness and participation. Stamp customers need to provide a customer identification number to participate in the survey. Ohio Wetlands Habitat Stamp customers who wish to provide an e-mail address to receive future invitations may sign up at wildohio.com in the Wild Ohio Customer Center. The Ohio Wildlife Council will establish 2013-14 waterfowl season dates in August after federal guidelines are provided. Similar information was solicited by the DOW from Ohio waterfowl hunters and used to set the 2012-13 hunting season dates. 2013 Wildlife Diversity Conference celebrates conservation in Ohio COLUMBUS The 2013 Wildlife Diversity Conference explores Ohios backyards to find a great variety of animal life and conservation techniques, according to the ODNR. The conference entitled A Conservation State of Mind will be held March 13 at the Aladdin Shrine Center, located at 3850 Stelzer Road, Columbus, Ohio 43219. The conference is sponsored by the DOW and is open to the public. Doors open for registration at 8 a.m. and the conference runs from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. The keynote speaker is retired Toledo Blade Outdoors Editor Steve Pollick. After traveling extensively as a writer and reporter, Pollick will discuss how Ohio compares to other parts of the world in Made in Ohio: A Conservation Choice. Other topics discussed at the conference include the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas, ticks expanding their range, certified volunteer naturalist programs, aquatic algae and its impact on wildlife, bats and whitenose syndrome, social media participation by public agencies and eastern box turtles. People may register online at wildohio.com or call 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543). Registration before Feb. 26 costs $25 and the cost will be $35 after that date. A reduced-price student registration is also available for $10. The Conference continues to grow. The first was held in 1985 with 40 people in attendance. Approximately 1,000 people attended last years daylong event. Representatives from a range of conservation and natural resource organizations, including the Ohio Bird Sanctuary, Ohio Biological Survey and Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative, will offer displays and answer questions at this years event. The fourth Ohio Wildlife Legacy

Stamp, featuring a black-capped chickadee, is available for purchase to conference attendees. Those who pre-register online for the conference may purchase this collectible stamp at a discounted price of $12, which is a 20-percent savings. Details about the Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp are available at wildohiostamp.com. Proceeds from the sale of the stamp will be used to support endangered and threatened native species, habitat restoration, land purchases and conservation easements and educational products for students and wildlife enthusiasts. Popular fishing access in Fremont will be closed for construction; another access opens FINDLAY Anglers should be aware that due to construction activities at the Fremont Water Pollution Control Center, public access to the popular Sandusky River fishing location known as the Sand Docks will be closed until further notice, according to the city of Fremont. The center will be undergoing a major renovation beginning in the spring of 2013 and lasting until 2016. The fishing location, which is located southeast of the center at the end of Sand Road, will need to be closed to ensure public safety. Anglers looking for another access may be interested to learn that the DOW has a new fishing access in that area. The Darr-Root Fishing Access is now open to the public. This area is located at 201 Walnut St. and is directly across the river from the Sand Docks. Currently, the Darr-Root site has shoreline fishing access only, although small boats could be carried and launched into the river. Future plans are to build a launch ramp for motor boats on the site. The Darr-Root access was partially donated by Mr. Joe Darr; the remainder was purchased using the Wildlife Boater Angler Fund, dedicated to increasing motor boat access areas across Ohio. The reason for the renovation to the center is to increase the capacity of the Wastewater Treatment Facility from 10 million gallons per day up to 24 million gallons per day. This increase in capacity will significantly reduce the number of combined sewer overflows from the citys sewer system, resulting in improvements to the water quality of the Sandusky River and downstream environments. More information about the city of Fremonts Water Pollution Control Center upgrades can be found at: www.fremontohio.org. For more information about the Ohio Division of Wildlife, the Wildlife Boater Angler Fund, or other fishing access locations, visit www.wildohio.com.

O-G put them at the line in an effort to get back in the game. The Bulldogs responded by hitting 11 straight charity tosses at one point as they were 17-of-19 at the line in the quarter. For the game, Elida was 28-of-31 at the line, while O-G attempted just nine free throws for the game (making 5). After the Bulldogs took a 12-point lead, O-G pulled within five on a 3-pointer by Metzger with 19.2 seconds left. That would be as close as they would come. Metzger led the Titans with 24 points and Bramlage finished with 14. Westrick had six rebounds for O-G. Mathias had six rebounds and six assists for the Bulldogs along with a steal and two blocked shots. Ottawa-Glandorf ran away from the Bulldogs in the junior varsity game 71-39. *** Ottawa-Glandorf 26-59 5-9 71: TJ Metzger 9-324; Noah Bramlage 6-2-14; Michael Rosebrock 4-0-8; Matt Kaufman 2-0-6; Caleb Siefker 2-0-5; Alex Westrick 2-0-4; Eric Beckman 1-03; Jaylen Von Sossan 0-0-0; Jacob Leopold 0-0-0; Cody Alt 0-0-0; Alex Schroeder 0-0-0.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2013 You might find yourself far more restless in the year ahead than youve been in the past, which in most cases should work to your advantage. Sometimes, however, it could cause you to be inconsistent. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont kid yourself about certain goals youd like to achieve. If you do, theres a good chance youll establish some targets beyond your abilities. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The one thing you definitely dont want to be is your own worst enemy. When your better judgment tells you not to do something, you darn well better take heed. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Avoid putting yourself in an uncomfortable position of being obligated to another. You could easily buckle under the pressure and agree to do something thats counterproductive for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be extremely careful not to make a promise that you wont want to keep, such as agreeing to share with a friend some rewards that you have coming to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You need to be selective about who you ask to help you complete a critical task. Avoid anybody who has a tendency of telling everybody else what to do and when. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Your ability to judge character is a bit iffy at present. If youre not careful, you could easily make yourself vulnerable by placing your faith in someone who doesnt warrant it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you hope to maintain harmony on the home front, both you and your mate must be prepared to make some painful concessions. Sacrifice mustnt be one-sided. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Youre the type of person who often goes out of your way to be helpful or of service to another. However, today you might reverse that and select pals for what they can do for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre not budget- conscious, you fail to manage your resources as wisely as you should. Avoid spending money that you know youll need later. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Be careful not to treat subordinates in an arrogant manner. If you do, itll make them eager to even the score, and theyll find a way to do so as soon as possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- To your credit, youre usually tolerant of anybody who isnt in accord with your thinking. Today, however, you might have to be even more understanding than usual. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont let yourself be pressured by friends into making a commitment or doing something that you really cant afford. If you do, youll end up being angry with everyone involved. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2013 Your financial prospects look to be quite good in the year ahead, and there is a strong possibility that you could make even more profits by engaging in joint endeavors. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Wishing wont make problematic matters disappear. Serious issues must not be treated with indifference, especially if they involve others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- No matter how strong the urge, dont attempt to impose on any clique where experience tells you that you wont be welcome. Turn to true friends only. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Dont despair if you face tribulation, because even weighty matters can be worked out. If you remember to think positively, youll be able to take your challenges in stride. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Before opening your mouth, stop and count to 10 if you find yourself in a conflict of opinion with another party. Only when youre calm should you venture to talk things out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Although it might not live up to your fullest hopes, something profitable could develop from a situation engineered by a friend. Be happy with what you get. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont think you have to stick to a particular procedure because of tradition when an associate has what could prove to be a better idea. Be flexible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -If you happen to make a few mistakes at the start of a project, instead of panicking, you should stop and catch your breath. Most problems are more easily rectified than you realize. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even if conditions initially look as if they are going against you, dont freak out. Surprising twists could occur, enabling you to snatch success from the jaws of defeat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Trying too hard to get the approval of your peers can work against you. However, if you relax and just be yourself, you will easily gain the endorsement youre seeking. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be smart and downplay some advice given to you by a well-intentioned friend. Youre better equipped to evaluate certain personal matters than he or she is. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Some periodic, extravagant inclinations could be stirring within you, and need to be checked as soon as possible. Enjoy yourself, but do so as inexpensively as possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Provided you treat all of your friends equally, this could be a rather pleasant day. If you show any partiality, however, it might not be so hot.

Authorities release photo of accused Ala. abductor

BY MELISSA NELSON-GABRIEL and JAY REEVES The Associated Press MIDLAND CITY, Ala. After four anxious days, only the slimmest of details has come to light in a police standoff with an Alabama man who is accused of holding a 5-yearold boy hostage in a bunker, a sign of just how delicate the negotiations are. Police have used a ventilation pipe to the underground bunker to talk to the man and deliver the boy medication for his emotional disorders, but they have not revealed how often they are in touch or what the conversations have been about. And authorities waited until Friday four days after the siege began to confirm what was widely known in this age of instant communication: The man accused of killing a school bus driver and abducting the boy Tuesday was 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes, a Vietnam-era veteran who was known to neighbors as a menacing figure. While much of what is going on inside the bunker remains a mystery, local officials who have spoken to police or the boys family have described a small room with food, electricity and a TV. And while the boy has his medication, an official also said he has been crying for his parents. Meanwhile, Midland City residents held out hope that the standoff would end safely and mourned for the slain bus driver and his family. Candlelight vigils have been held nightly at a gazebo in front of City Hall. Residents prayed, sang songs such as Amazing Grace and nailed homemade wooden crosses on the gazebos railings alongside signs that read: We are praying for you. Were doing any little thing that helps show support for him, said 15-year-old Taylor Edwards said. Former hostage negotiators said authorities must be cautious and patient as long as they are confident that the boy is unharmed. Ex-FBI hostage negotiator Clint Van Zandt advised against any drastic measures such as cutting the electricity or putting sleep gas inside the bunker because it could agitate Dykes. The negotiator should try to ease Dykes anxieties over what will happen when the standoff ends, and refer to both the boy and Dykes by their first names, he said. I want to give him a reason to come out, Van Zandt said, and my reason is, You didnt mean that to happen. It was unintentional. It could have happened to anyone. It was an accident. People have accidents, Jimmy Lee. Its not that big a thing. You and I can work that out. Police seemed to be following that pattern. At a brief news conference to release a photo of Dykes, they brushed off any questions about possible charges. Its way too early for that, said Kevin Cook, a spokesman for the Alabama state troopers. The shelter is about 4 feet underground, with about 6-by8 feet of floor space and there is a PVC pipe that negotiators were speaking through. One of Dykes next-door neighbors said he spent two or three months constructing the

VA report: 22 veterans Obama offers faith groups At palace, Egypt commit suicide each day new birth control rule protesters, police clash
BY KEVIN FREKING The Associated Press WASHINGTON The number of veterans who commit suicide each day is more than 20 percent higher than the Department of Veterans Affairs has previously estimated, but the problem doesnt appear to be getting worse for veterans compared to the rest of the country, according to a VA study released Friday. Indeed, the overall percentage of suicides by veterans has declined in recent years. VA researchers say the trend suggests that efforts to reduce suicide among veterans may be having an effect. About 22 veterans committed suicide each day in 2010. Previous estimates from the VA put the number at 18. While much attention has been paid to suicides by veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, the report indicates the problem is worse among older veterans. About 70 percent of veterans who commit suicide are over age 50. The latest projections from the VA incorporate data from about two dozen states that recorded the cause of death on death certificates. Previous estimates focused only on those getting care from the VAs hospitals and clinics. The department described the study as the most comprehensive it has ever taken on the issue. We have more work to do, and we will use this data to continue to strengthen our suicide prevention efforts and ensure all veterans receive the care they have earned and deserve, said VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki. BY RACHEL ZOLL and RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON Facing a wave of lawsuits over what government can tell religious groups to do, the Obama administration on Friday proposed a compromise for faithbased non-profits that object to covering birth control in their employee health plans. Some of the lawsuits appear headed for the Supreme Court, threatening another divisive legal battle over President Barack Obamas health care overhaul law, which requires most employers to cover birth control free of charge to female workers as a preventive service. The law exempted churches and other houses of worship, but religious charities, universities, hospitals and even some forprofit businesses have objected. The governments new offer, in a proposed regulation, has two parts. Administration officials said it would more simply define the religious organizations that are exempt from the requirement altogether. For example, a mosque whose food pantry serves the whole community would not have to comply. For other religious employers, the proposal attempts to create a buffer between them and contraception coverage. Female employees would still have free access through insurers or a third party, but the employer would not have to arrange for the coverage or pay for it. Insurers would be reimbursed for any costs by a credit against fees owed the government. It wasnt immediately clear whether the plan would satisfy the objections of Roman Catholic charities and other faith-affiliated nonprofits nationwide challenging the requirement. Neither the Catholic Health Association, a trade group for hospitals, nor the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops had an immediate reaction, saying the regulations were still being studied. But the National Association of Evangelicals, which represents about 40 denominations and works with the administration on immigration and other issues, quickly rejected the rule. It said the change didnt create enough of a buffer between faith groups and birth control coverage.

bunker, digging several feet into the ground and then building a structure of lumber and plywood, which he covered with sand and dirt. Neighbor Michael Creel said Dykes put the plastic pipe underground from the bunker to the end of his driveway so he can hear if anyone drives up to his gate. When Dykes finished the shelter a year or so ago, he in invited Creel to see it and he did. He was bragging about it. He said, Come check it out, Creel said. He said he believes Dykes goal with the standoff is a chance to publicize his political beliefs.

clothes. Buying clothes for a new baby can be exciting and fun but can also break the personal bank. Shopping can also become overwhelming for a first-time parent. Dont go overboard on baby luxuries; stick with the musthaves like diapers, wipes, a car seat, a crib, changing table, a few baby clothes and baby monitors. Expectant mother Renee Neidert was surprised at the cost of her pregnancy. As far as money goes, I was very shocked at how much baby essentials cost. From the very beginning, when buying the pregnancy tests, to preparing for the babys arrival, to the cost of everything after they are born - it is all expensive. The cost for a crib is at least $250 and the bedding is right around $100. I am also amazed at how much car seats are. The cost seems pretty unfair because everyone needs a car seat, she said. A baby shower may also be an option to help offset the costs of all the new baby items parents may need and there are also other routes they can check into. I was surprised at how many support options there are for parents, said Neidert. At my first doctors appointment, I was given a lot of handouts letting me know about different preventative testing that is available, about what kind of medicine is safe and which ones are not during pregnancy and a week by week calendar informing us of our babys growth. There are also a lot of classes given by the hospital to help both first-time parents and parents who have children already. There are even classes for kids who are about to become first-time siblings. Its very comforting knowing that no matter what my question or concern is, there is always someone willing to answer. Another way to offset the cost of baby items is to accept hand-me-downs. Of course, parents must ensure they are

in good condition for the baby but accepting them can save hundreds of dollars. I havent purchased much clothing at all. I didnt have to buy a bath or a highchair. I have back-up bedding and a second car seat for my husbands car. With just those few items, I have saved a ton of money. Also, really think about what you and your baby will need versus what you want or what is cute. Take advice from mothers who have been there and done that. You will find out there are a lot of products you think you need, to only find out that you dont need them at all, said Neidert. Coming from a first-time mother going into this blindly, I registered for anything and everything possible. Afterwards, I made my mom and my sister (who has a child) look over the registry. Apparently, I scanned in items (most of them costly) that no one would ever need. The cost of childbirth can also be steep. According to government data, the average delivery costs range between $9,000 and $15,000. Women who have individual health insurance policies often have to activate maternity care coverage 9-plus months before pregnancies. You should ask your health insurance company is if when you should activate your maternal coverage as well as if the delivery is covered. Another thing some people may not know is most insurance plans do not cover a private room at the hospital. Check with the hospital before your due date and coordinate the room you are needing for insurance company, said Brown. Questions to ask: Does my insurance cover the pregnancy and delivery? Do I need to have a maternal policy before getting pregnant? What may change on my insurance policy after my baby is born? Will the health insurance plan cover a private room at the hospital?

BY MAGGIE MICHAEL The Associated Press CAIRO Protesters denouncing Egypts Islamist president hurled stones and firebombs through the gates of his palace gates on Friday, clashing with security forces who fired tear gas and water cannons, as more than a week of political violence came to Mohammed Morsis symbolic doorstep for the first time. The streets outside the presidential palace were a scene of mayhem for hours into the night. Security forces pumped volley after volley of tear gas, set fire to protester tents and at one point dragged a protester to the ground, stripped him and beat him. Protesters burned tires and hurled stones and fireworks. A 23-year-old died when he was shot in the chest and forehead, the Health Ministry said. The march on the palace, where Morsi was not present, was part of a wave of demonstrations in cities around the country called by opposition politicians, trying to wrest concessions from

Morsi after around 60 people were killed in protests, clashes and riots. But many of the protesters go further, saying he must be removed from office, accusing his Muslim Brotherhood of monopolizing power and failing to deal with the countrys mounting woes. Many have been further angered by Morsis praise of the security forces after the high death toll, which is widely blamed on excessive use of force by the police. The days unrest, however, risked boosting attempts by the government and Brotherhood to taint the opposition as violent and destructive a tack Morsi supporters have taken for weeks. In a statement issued amid the clashes, Morsi accused protesters of trying to break into the palace and said political foes involved in incitement are responsible for the violence. He called on all factions to condemn the violence and said security forces would act decisively to protect state institutions.
