Upfront Tornadoes kill 200 in 6 Southern states

Obama releases
birth form
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Responding to critics’ relent-
less claims, President Barack
Obama on Wednesday
produced a detailed Hawaii
birth certificate in an extraor-
dinary attempt to bury the
issue of where he was born
and confirm his legitimacy
to hold office. He declared,
“We do not have time for
this kind of silliness.”
By going on national
TV from the White House,
Obama portrayed himself as a
voice of reason amid a loud,
lingering debate on his birth
status. Though his personal
attention to the issue elevated

PLEASANT GROVE,
Ala. — Dozens of torna-
does spawned by a power-
ful storm system wiped out
entire towns across a wide
swath of the South, killing
at least 200 people in the
deadliest outbreak in nearly
40 years, and officials said
today they expected the death
toll to rise.
Alabama’s state emer-
gency management agency
said it had confirmed 131
deaths, while there were
32 in Mississippi, 15 in
Tennessee, 13 in Georgia,
eight in Virginia and one in
Kentucky.
The National Weather
Service’s Storm Prediction
Center in Norman, Okla.,
said it received 137 tornado
reports around the regions
into Wednesday night.
“We were in the bathroom
holding on to each other and
holding on to dear life,” said
Samantha Nail, who lives in
a blue-collar subdivision in
the Birmingham suburb of
Pleasant Grove where the
storm slammed heavy pick-
up trucks into ditches and
obliterated tidy brick houses,
leaving behind a mess of mat-
tresses, electronics and chil-
dren’s toys scattered across
a grassy plain where dozens
used to live. “If it wasn’t for
our concrete walls, our home
would be gone like the rest
of them.”
Dave Imy, a meteorologist
with the prediction service,
said the number of deaths
was the most in a tornado
outbreak since 1974, when
315 people died.
In Alabama, where as
many as a million people
were without power, Gov.
Robert Bentley said 2,000
national guard troops had
been activated and were help-
ing to search devastated areas
for people still missing. He
said the National Weather
Service and forecasters did a
good job of alerting people,
but there is only so much
that can be done to deal with
tornadoes a mile wide.
“You cannot prepare
against an F5,” the most pow-
erful category on a scale for
measuring wind intensity, he
said.
One of the hardest-hit
areas was Tuscaloosa, a city
of more than 83,000 and
home to the University of
Alabama. The city’s police
and other emergency services
were devastated, the mayor
said, and at least 15 people
were killed.
A massive tornado, caught
on video by a news camera on
a tower, barreled through the
city late Wednesday after-
noon, leveling it.
By nightfall, the city was
dark. Roads were impass-
able. Signs were blown down
in front of restaurants, busi-
nesses were unrecognizable
and sirens wailed off and on.
Debris littered the streets and
sidewalks.
College students in a com-
mercial district near campus
used flashlights to check out
the damage.
At Stephanie’s Flowers,
owner Bronson Englebert
used the headlights from two
delivery vans to see what
valuables he could remove.
The storm blew out the front
of his store, pulled down the
ceiling and shattered the win-
dows, leaving only the cur-
tains flapping in the breeze.
“It even blew out the back
wall, and I’ve got bricks on
top of two delivery vans
now,” Englebert said.
A group of students

said to Republican detractors
and the media, “it is time to
move on to bigger issues.”
Citing huge budget deci-
sions in Washington, Obama
said, “I am confident that
the American people and
America’s political lead-
ers can come together
in a bipartisan way and
solve these problems. We
always have. But we’re
not going to be able to do
it if we are distracted.”

much of Wednesday’s storm damage, a day and

DELPHOS — Local
residents are already eyeing
May because of an upcoming
Primary Election.
As the state prepares to
close an $8 billion gap that is
likely to reduce funding for
social services, many must
rely on levy dollars to stay
afloat. Senior citizens are one
group whose federal funding
has dried up and the measure
on the local ballot requires no
further sacrifice.
Joyce Hale directs Delphos
Senior Citizens, Inc. The local
senior center remains open
because of the Allen County
Elderly Citizens Services
levy, which the county audi-
tor’s office estimates to gen-
erate nearly $1.2 million on a
half-mill property tax already
being paid.
“We have a levy renewal
on the May ballot. It’s just
a renewal. It’s not additional
taxes. That levy is what we’re
living on because no federal
funding is coming in here,”
Hale said. “We share it with
the Allen County Council on
Aging, the Bluffton Senior
Center and the senior center
in Lima. We have to have it
because all of our funding
has been cut from federal
dollars and state dollars. We
get nothing for transportation
under the Older Americans
Act; we get nothing from
Area Agency on Aging —
they first cut our outreach.
Then, they cut transportation
and chores; they’ve been cut-
ting us little by little every
year, so the only transporta-
tion money is Title 20 mon-
ies through Job and Family
Services.”
Allen County commissioners
have allowed the contract to be
amended in lieu of the gover-
nor’s upcoming budget.
“Nobody knows what the
funding will be, so the con-
tract was amended. Every
month, I send in the number of
trips we made and the clients
we served for reimbursement.
It was a fixed amount but it
had to become adjustable in
case they get no funding. If
they get nothing, we get noth-
ing,” Hale said. “The contract
runs from July to the end of
June and I’m running out of
money before the end of the
contract, so they amended it
to say if they get additional
money, they’ll be able to give
us some money.”

VAN WERT COUNTY COURT NEWS
The following individuals
appeared Wednesday before
Judge Charles Steele in Van
Wert County Common Pleas
Court:
Christopher Adkins, 31,
Van Wert, entered a guilty plea
to assault, a felony of the fourth
degree.
Adkins was accused of
assaulting Office James
Haggerty of the Van Wert City
Police
Department on December
2nd, 2010.
Adkins filed a motion for
treatment in lieu of conviction
which was granted by the court.
Adkins will be under the super-
vision of the Van Wert County
Adult Probation Department for
a period not to exceed one year
while he completes his rehabili-
tation program
Nathaniel Thomas, 32, Van
Wert, was placed on one year of
community control on a charge
of domestic violence, a misde-
meanor of the first degree.
Thomas was ordered to
spend 60 days in the Van Wert
County Jail and then an addi-
tional 30 days of jail at a time to
be determined by his supervi-
sion officer.
Thomas was ordered to
complete an anger management
program, pay court costs and
complete 100 hours of commu-
nity service.
Judge Steele also gave
Thomas a 180 day jail sentence
and a $1,000 fine but deferred
the imposition of the sentence
if Thomas successfully com-
pletes the community control
program.
Andrew Hammons, 23,
Van Wert, was sentenced to a
basic prison term of nine months
on a charge of possession of
heroin after Judge Steele found
Hammons not to be amenable
to community control.
Hammons was arrested in
September during a traffic stop
conducted by the Van Wert
City Police Department. During
the traffic stop, they found
Hammons to be in possession
of heroin.
Chad Diltz, 34, Delphos,

energy views
By JULIE CARR SMYTH
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Former Michigan Gov.
Jennifer Granholm continued
a nationwide clean energy
tour in Ohio on Wednesday,
imploring an audience of aca-
demics, energy consultants
and lobbyists to carry the
Pew Clean Energy Program’s
bipartisan call to action to
state and national leaders.
During a keynote address
to the University Clean
Energy Alliance of Ohio,
the former two-term gover-
nor delivered an impassioned
plea for advocates not to miss
a critical opportunity for set-
ting national clean-energy
policy goals. The Democrat
is working with former U.S.
Sen. John Warner of Virginia,
a Republican, on the effort.
“Globalization has com-
pletely changed the conver-
sation. ... Other nations are
taking action to create jobs
for their people,” Granholm
told the breakfast gathering.
“And so we have got to wake
up and say we’re not in this
hermetically-sealed environ-
ment. We have got to take
action.”
According to Pew research,
China and Germany have out-
paced the United States dur-
ing the past two years in the
dollars they’ve invested in
the clean energy sector —
$54.4 billion for China and
$41.2 billion for Germany,
compared with $34 billion for
the U.S.
“I don’t know about
you, but I am not willing
for America to stand on the
bronze Olympic stand and be
proud. ’We’re No. 3!’” said
Granholm, a senior policy
adviser to Pew. “That’s not
who we are, and I hope that’s
not who you think we should
be.”
Mike Carey, president of
the Ohio Coal Association,
questioned Granholm’s mes-
sage. He said China is spend-
ing more on all sources of
energy to meet basic, or base-
line, demand — especially
coal.
“They may be spending
money in renewable sources,
but by far and away they’re
spending money on bringing
new baseline generation to
the marketplace — and that’s
what’s going to drive their
economy in the future,” he
said.
Ohio is among eight
stops on Granholm’s tour —
seven states and the District
of Columbia where overall
jobs fell but the clean energy
economy increased. The state
has attracted $74 million in
clean technology venture cap-
ital over the past three years,
according to Pew.
In an interview with The
Associated Press ahead of
her appearance, Granholm
said supporters of the effort
believe the time is right both
economically and political-
ly.
She said the federal def-
icit is important, but most
Ohioans are more concerned
about jobs and gas prices. So
Pew worked to identify poli-
cies with broad support that
would boost employment and
lower pump prices.
It has steered clear of the
most divisive energy policies,
such as cap-and-trade emis-
sions swapping programs and
carbon taxes.
“We’re talking about these
four pragmatic policies that
have overwhelming support.”
The Pew policy goals are:
requiring that 20 percent of
energy production come from
renewable sources by 2025;
increasing fuel efficiency in
vehicles to at least 50 mpg
for model years 2017 to
2025; doubling the number of
industrial facilities that recy-
cle waste heat into power by
2020; and increase research-
and-development funding
from $3.8 billion to $15 bil-
lion by 2015.
Carey said such targets
ultimately increase costs for
consumers.
Although fruits and vegetables are still our best source
of nutrients, those grown decades ago were much richer
in vitamins and minerals than the varieties most of us get
today. The main culprit in this disturbing nutritional trend
is soil depletion.

Dear EarthTalk:
What’s the nutritional dif-
ference between the carrot
I ate in 1970 and one I eat
today? I’ve heard there’s
very little nutrition left. Is
that true?
— Esther G., Newark,
NJ
It would be overkill
to say that the carrot you
eat today has very little
nutrition in it—especially
compared to some of the
other less healthy foods
you likely also eat—but
it is true that fruits and
vegetables grown decades
ago were much richer in
vitamins and minerals
than the varieties most of
us get today. The main
culprit in this disturbing
nutritional trend is soil
depletion: Modern inten-
sive agricultural methods
have stripped increasing
amounts of nutrients from
the soil in which the food
we eat grows. Sadly, each
successive generation of
fast-growing, pest-resistant
carrot is truly less good for
you than the one before.

Davis, “but their ability
to manufacture or uptake
nutrients has not kept pace
with their rapid growth.”
There have likely been
declines in other nutrients,
too, he said, such as mag-
nesium, zinc and vitamins
B-6 and E, but they were
not studied in 1950 and
more research is needed to
find out how much less we
are getting of these key
vitamins and minerals.
The Organic Consumers
Association cites several
other studies with similar
findings: A Kushi Institute
analysis of nutrient data
from 1975 to 1997 found
that average calcium lev-
els in 12 fresh vegetables
dropped 27 percent; iron
levels 37 percent; vitamin
A levels 21 percent, and
vitamin C levels 30 per-
cent. A similar study of
British nutrient data from
1930 to 1980, published in
the British Food Journal,
found that in 20 vegetables
the average calcium con-
tent had declined 19 per-
cent; iron 22 percent; and
potassium 14 percent. Yet

a heart-wrenching story of
a polar bear that swam
400 miles with its cub on
its back in search of an ice
floe to rest on. It survived
but its cub did not. What
can be done to save these
magnificent creatures? Is
it too late?
— Jerry Bresnehan,
Des Moines, IA
It’s sad but true that life
is getting harder for polar
bears due to global warm-
ing. Polar bears live within
the Arctic Circle and feed
primarily on ringed seals.
The bears’ feeding strat-
egy involves swimming
from the mainland to and
between offshore ice floes,
poaching seals as they
come up to breathe at holes
in the ice.
But climate change is
heating up the atmosphere
and substantial amounts of
offshore sea ice are melt-
ing. The result is that bears
must swim further and fur-
ther out to sea in search of
ice floes; some expend all
of their energy in doing
so and end up drowning.
Scientists first noticed this
deadly phenomenon in
2004 when they noticed
four drowned polar bears
in the Beaufort Sea off
Alaska’s North Slope.
More recently,
researchers from the
United States Geological
Survey (USGS) fitted
several Alaskan polar
bears with tracking col-
lars to find out the extent
of their travels and docu-
ment how much trouble
they are having hunting
in a warmer Arctic. One
of the bears, a mother
with a yearling cub on
her back, made what
researchers are calling an
“epic journey in search of
food” during September-
October 2008.
“This bear swam con-
tinuously for 232 hours
and 687 km and through
waters that were 2-6
degrees C,” reports USGS
research zoologist George
M. Durner. “We are in
awe that an animal thatEarthTalk®

Scheer and Doug Moss and
she lost 22 percent of her
body fat during a crucial
time of year for fattening
up before a long winter’s
hibernation. And her cub
was not so fortunate. “It
was simply more ener-
getically costly for the
yearling than the adult
to make this long dis-
tance swim,” said Durner,
whose findings were pub-
lished in the January 2011
edition of Polar Biology.
The case of this one polar
bear and the failure of her
offspring to survive in the
new environmental condi-
tions of the Arctic doesn’t
bode well for the future
of the species, especially
as Arctic sea ice contin-
ues to retreat at a record
pace.
The International Union
for the Conservation of
Nature (IUCN), which
maintains the international
“Red List” of threatened
species, considers the polar
bear “vulnerable” due to
climate change-induced
retreating sea ice. For
its part, the U.S. govern-
ment listed polar bears as
“threatened” in 2008 under
the Endangered Species
Act. The IUCN website
also points out that, while
the polar bear has come
to symbolize the impact
of global warming on
wildlife, many other spe-
cies are similarly affected,
including the ringed seal
and well-known species
like the beluga whale, arc-
tic fox, koala and emperor
penguin.
Some argue that, since
it is illegal to engage in
activities that could harm
or kill threatened or endan-
gered species, Americans
should be forced to cut their
greenhouse gas emissions to
preserve polar bear habitat.
While such a notion hasn’t
forced many of us to volun-
tarily drive fewer miles or
turn down our heat, it might
be just what it will take the

vore from going the way of

WASHINGTON — The
script was repetitive. The
lines were delivered without
emotion. There wasn’t even
a twist.
The reviews for Federal
Reserve chief Ben Bernanke’s
unusual press conference
Wednesday would have sunk
a Hollywood blockbuster.
As the head of the famously
vague central bank, though,
he nailed it.
“I would give the chair-
man high grades for his per-
formance today,” said Dana
Saporta, an economist at
Credit Suisse. “I was a little
relieved.”
In an hour-long give-and-
take with reporters — the
first press conference by a
Fed chief in almost 20 years
— a relaxed Bernanke deliv-
ered little new information
and said nothing to spook
investors who were hanging
on every word.

Report: Mexican children vulnerable at border
By SUZANNE GAMBOA
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — David Nachman, an attorney
Mexican children illegally
crossing the border alone
remain vulnerable to drug
cartels, gangs and other
dangers because a 2-year-
old law designed to protect
them is not being executed
well, advocates from the U.S.
and Mexico said in a report
released Wednesday.
The law, the Trafficking
Victims Protection and
Reauthorization Act of 2008,
allows Mexican children who
crossed the border alone to
be returned to Mexico only
after officers determine the
children are not human traf-
ficking victims, can’t claim
asylum or if the children vol-
unteer to go home rather than
remain detained in a shelter.
The law was aimed at
addressing concerns about a
“revolving door” at the border
for Mexican children, describ-
ing how the children were
being immediately turned back
without any investigation of
their circumstances. Children
from Central America and
other countries generally go
to shelters because their coun-
tries do not border the U.S.
“These children are the
most vulnerable of the vul-
nerable. They have traveled
than a rearrangement of a team
that the White House believes
already has worked well man-
aging the winding down of the
in Afghanistan and which now
is preparing to begin withdraw-
ing troops from there. Team
members also have handled the
sometimes contentious rela-
tions with Pakistan and other
countries.
The administration official
emphasized that the aim was
to preserve Obama’s poli-
cies in Afghanistan and else-
where, not alter them. The
official spoke on condition of
anonymity ahead of Obama’s
announcement.
“The White House is
maintaining broad continu-
ity,” said John Nagl, presi-
dent of the Center for a
New American Security, a
Washington research orga-
nization. “Everyone who
is coming in are all current
in the game. They’ve been
working these issues.”
The changes, which require
Senate approval, were set
in motion largely by Gates’
plans to leave his job mid-
year. A Republican appointed
by then-President George W.
Bush, the widely respected
defense secretary had wanted
to leave when Obama took
office, but the president per-
suaded him to stay on. He’s
face as he spoke. Not much
drama there either: The Dow
Jones industrial average rose
gently as the Fed chief spoke.
It ended the day up 96 points
at 12,691.
For Fed watchers, there
were a couple of morsels.
Bernanke decoded his fre-
quent pledge to keep inter-
est rates near zero for “an
extended period.” He indi-
cated rates would stay at the
record lows for at least the
next two Fed meetings, or
about three months.
He also seemed to rule out
further major efforts to help
the economy. Shortly before
Bernanke started talking, the
central bank announced that
its $600 billion plan to hold
down interest rates by buy-
ing government bonds would
end as scheduled in June.
He suggested the Fed
would be reluctant to start
a new program. “The trade-
offs are getting — are getting
less attractive at this point,”
he said. “Inflation has gotten
higher.”
In the run-up to the first
of what the Fed says will be
quarterly press conferences,
Wall Street held its breath,
and the financial media
speculated endlessly about
how the Fed chairman might
respond to unfiltered ques-
tions from the press.
Cameras whirred as
long distances for purposes of
trafficking, many of them will
be trafficked en route ...,” said
with DLA Piper, a law firm
that helped with the report.
“The revolving door that
had so long existed at the bor-
der for these vulnerable chil-
dren is still spinning today,”
Nachman said.
Customs and Border
Protection did not immedi-
ately respond to requests for
comment.
Most of the youths in shel-
ters set up in the U.S. for
unaccompanied children are
from Central America and
elsewhere, even though most
of the children crossing the
border without an adult are

report released by Appleseed
and Mexican Appleseed, a
network of 16 groups in the
U.S. and Mexico.

hended crossing the border in
each of the past two years, the
groups said.

which point Panetta would
replace him.
Panetta, too, had to be
talked into taking over at the
Pentagon, according to the
senior administration official.
The official said Panetta, a
former Democratic congress-
man from California who also
worked as White House chief
of staff and budget direc-
tor, was reluctant to leave a
job he relishes but answered
Obama’s call.
Obama’s choice of Panetta,
who was budget chief under
Democrat Bill Clinton, sug-
gests the president sees
Pentagon budget-cutting as a
bigger challenge to the nation
than either the Afghanistan or
Iraq wars. Gates, who over-
saw a turnaround in the Iraq
war in 2007 and pushed for
a bigger troop commitment
in Afghanistan last year, is
known to believe that his
cost-cutting initiatives are
the most important features
of the legacy he will leave
after more than four years in
office.
Gates has come up with
$400 billion in cuts in the
defense budget for the next
10 years, and Obama has
asked him to come up with
$400 billion more, a task that
will now fall to Panetta, if he
is confirmed for the job.
Bernanke, wearing a conser-
vative gray suit and a red
tie, walked to a dark brown
wooden desk, where he sat
fielding questions like the
college professor he used to
be.
Bernanke said the news
conference was a step toward
his goal of making the Fed
more open and accountable to
the American public. He has
given television interviews,
spoken to reporters about his
South Carolina upbringing
and allowed cameras inside
the Fed.
In 2008, some
Americans directed anger
toward the central bank after
the financial crisis. The Fed
bailed out crippled insurer
American International
Group and opened itself for
emergency lending to invest-
ment houses, not just com-
mercial banks.
Critics, including some
lawmakers, ripped the Fed
for being secretive. The
institution is often misunder-
stood: It isn’t bankrolled by
the taxpayers but by what it
earns from its huge portfo-
lio of Treasury and mortgage
securities.
Bernanke stuck close to
the statement the Fed issued
earlier in the day, saying it
would keep short-term rates
near zero and end the bond-
buying program.
advocates said
A form used for question-
ing children about whether
they want to go home does not
make clear that the children
will be detained in a shel-
ter for children, rather than a
jail or immigration detention
facility, advocates said.
The report also criticiz-
es Mexican authorities for
focusing on quickly returning
children to families without
spending adequate time deter-
mining whether doing so puts
the child in danger of abuse,
neglect or other problems.
“Pause and think about
what it takes for a 15-, a 16-,
a 17-year-old kid to decide to
leave home and travel over
1,000 miles through unknown
territory and to cross a hostile
border. You know that kid
isn’t doing it lightly and in
some cases at least is running
away from very difficult cir-
cumstances within the home
and within the community,”
Nachman said.
Houston attorney Domingo
Llagostera, a patent lawyer
who represents unaccompa-
nied children pro bono, said
Mexican children are usually
gone too quickly from bor-
der custody facilities, leaving
lawyers and advocates little
chance to interview them and
possibly find a way for the
children to remain in the U.S.

AL
NEW YORK — Bartolo Colon
looked like the ace of old, shutting
down the Chicago White Sox over eight
crisp innings, and Robinson Cano hit
an early 3-run homer to give the New
York Yankees a 3-1 victory Wednesday
night.
A pleasant surprise for the Yankees
thus far, Colon (2-1) outpitched Mark
Buehrle to give him two wins in two
starts this season — his first in the
majors since 2009. The husky right-
hander, who won the 2005 AL Cy
Young Award for the Angels, signed a
minor-league deal in February and was
brought to spring training to provide
pitching depth. He had a strong camp
and made the team as a long reliever
but has quickly become an April savior
for a New York rotation missing injured
All-Star Phil Hughes.
Athletics 2, Angels 1
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Cliff Pennington
opened the 10th inning with a triple off
the glove of left fielder Vernon Wells
and the Athletics went on to beat the
Angels, avoiding a 3-game sweep.
Former Angels closer Brian Fuentes
returned to Anaheim and gave up the
tying run in the bottom of the ninth
after an error by third baseman Kevin
Kouzmanoff.
In the 10th, the switch-hitting
Pennington sliced a pitch from right-
hander Jordan Walden (0-1) toward
left-center. Wells tried a sliding catch
and the ball went off his glove as he
nearly collided with center fielder Peter
Bourjos. Daric Barton was intentionally
walked with one out and Conor Jackson
delivered the run with a groundout, hit-
ting a high shopper to shortstop.
Mariners 10, Tigers 1
DETROIT — Erik Bedard pitched
seven impressive innings for his first
win since June 2009 and Justin Smoak
homered and drove in a career-high
five runs to help the Mariners rout the
Tigers.
Smoak has homered in consecutive
games after missing a week following
the death of his father. His 3-run shot
in the first gave Seattle an early lead
and Bedard (1-4) made it hold up.
Bedard, who missed last season fol-
lowing shoulder surgery, allowed a run
and five hits with three strikeouts and
no walks.
The Mariners broke it open with six
runs in the ninth.
Justin Verlander (2-3) allowed four
runs — three earned — and five hits in
six innings.

things easier for Cleveland starter Josh
Tomlin and the AL Central-leading
Indians won their ninth straight at home,
beating the slumping Royals.
Cabrera hit a bases-loaded double
off Jeff Francis (0-3) as the Indians
jumped to a 5-0 lead. That was all the
support Tomlin (4-0) would need in
sending Kansas City to its fifth straight
loss. He gave up solo homers to Jeff
Francoeur and Mike Aviles in the sec-
ond but blanked Kansas City over the
next four.
Orioles 5, Red Sox 4
BALTIMORE — Derrick Lee had
three hits and scored the tie-break-
ing run on an eighth-inning single by
Vladimir Guerrero, giving the Orioles a
victory over the Red Sox.
After blowing a 4-0 lead in the top of
the eighth, Baltimore regained the lead
in the bottom half against Daniel Bard
(0-3). Nick Markakis singled and took
second on a single by Lee. Both moved
up on a passed ball by Jason Varitek;
with Guerrero at the plate, Markakis
was thrown out trying to score on a
pitch that eluded Varitek. Guerrero then
bounced an RBI single up the middle to
bring in Lee from third base.
Koji Uehara (1-0) got the victory
despite giving up a 3-run homer to
Kevin Youkilis; Kevin Gregg worked a
perfect ninth for his fourth save.
Rangers 7, Blue Jays 6
ARLINGTON, Texas — Mitch
Moreland led off the seventh inning

Octavio Dotel, lifting the Rangers to a
victory over the Blue Jays.
Juan Rivera’s solo homer with two
outs in the top of the seventh off rookie
Cody Eppley tied it at 6. Moreland sent
an 0-1 pitch from Dotel (1-1) over the
center-field fence for his third homer.
Michael Young and Mike Napoli had

SAN DIEGO — Chipper Jones hit a
2-run triple and finished with three RBIs
as the Atlanta Braves beat San Diego
7-0 Wednesday, leaving Padres ace
Mat Latos winless since September.
Jones moved out of a tie with
Mickey Mantle and into sole possession

Durant scores 41, Thunder
close out Nuggets 100-97
By JEFF LATZKE
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY —
Kevin Durant had no inter-
est in making a return trip
to Denver and nothing was
going to keep him from
getting his way.
Durant matched his
best playoff perfor-
mance with 41 points,
including the final nine
for Oklahoma City, and
the Thunder closed out
their first-round series
against the Nuggets
with a 100-97 victory in
Game 5 on Wednesday
night.
The Thunder over-
came a 9-point deficit in the
final four minutes; Durant pro-
vided all the offense down the
stretch to send the Oklahoma
City franchise to its first play-
off series win since it was still
in Seattle in 2005.
“We willed ourselves to
victory,” Durant said. “One
thing that was going through
my mind is like, ‘I don’t go
back to Denver because it
would be tough to win in
there. I just don’t want to go
back.’

didn’t want to go back.”

series against Memphis or

buzzer-beating 3-pointer and

Wednesday to force a Game 6
in that series.
Denver had two chances
to duplicate the Spurs’ per-
formance but Durant blocked

3-pointer with 9 seconds left
and Arron Afflalo missed

NFL loses another round, lockout remains lifted
By DAVE CAMPBELL
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — The
NFL has promised to give its
teams guidance on what to do
after another stinging
rebuke from the same
federal judge who
lifted the lockout.
Whether that
includes rules for
free agency, the NFL
draft that begins
tonight or simply
whether players can talk with
their coaches was anyone’s
guess.
U.S. District Judge
Susan Richard Nelson late
ing the longest streak in club history.
Only one of the six runs he allowed
was earned. A fielding error by first
baseman Brad Hawpe with two outs in
the second led to Atlanta scoring five
unearned runs.
Phillies 8, Diamondbacks 4
PHOENIX — Jimmy Rollins hom-
ered and had three RBIs and Cole
Hamels pitched seven solid innings
to help Philadelphia avoid a 3-game
sweep.
Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard
each homered, Placido Polanco had
four of Philadelphia’s 12 hits and scored
three runs; Ben Francisco had a 2-run
double. The Phillies pounded Arizona
starter Joe Saunders (0-3) to reach 16
wins in April, one short of the franchise
record set in 1993. Saunders gave up
six runs on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings.
That was more than enough for
Hamels (3-1) in his fourth straight solid
start. The left-hander allowed three runs
on four hits in seven innings.
Chris Young hit a pair of homers to
drive in three runs for Arizona, a 2-run
shot in the sixth inning off Hamels and
a solo home run off Antonio Bastardo
in the eighth that cut Philadelphia’s
lead to 7-4.
Pirates 2, Giants 0
PITTSBURGH — James McDonald
pitched six sharp innings for his first vic-
tory of the season to lead Pittsburgh.
McDonald (1-2) allowed four hits and
four walks while striking out three; Chris
Snyder and Jose Tabata each singled
in a run for the Pirates. Mike Crotta, Joe
Beimel, Chris Resop and Joel Hanrahan
completed the 5-hitter. Hanrahan record-
ed his seventh save in seven opportuni-
ties, getting Miguel Tejada to ground into
a game-ending double play with runners
on first and second.
San Francisco wasted a strong out-
ing by Madison Bumgarner (0-4), who
allowed only one run and five hits in six
innings with one walk and seven strike-
outs. Cody Ross had two hits for the
Giants, who lost for the fifth time in six
games to fall below .500 at 11-12.
Mets 6, Nationals 3
WASHINGTON — Daniel Murphy
delivered a game-tying, pinch-hit homer
in the eighth inning right after Jose
Reyes was ruled out at third base on
a disputed call, then added a 2-run
double in the ninth, helping New York
win its sixth straight.
In a seesaw game delayed 45 min-
utes at the start by rain, the Mets
led 1-0, trailed 2-1, tied it at 2 in
the eighth, fell behind 3-2 later that
inning, then produced a 4-run rally in
the ninth against Washington closer
Sean Burnett (0-1).
That allowed Pedro Beato (1-0) to
first two games of the series
with a hamstring strain, led
Denver with 15 points and
Kenyon Martin added 14
points and 10 rebounds.
The Nuggets have only
made it out of the first round
once during a stretch of
eight straight postseason
appearances — the first
seven coming before
Carmelo Anthony engi-
neered a midseason
trade to the Knicks this
February.
“We have a lot of
guys in that locker room
who are banged up and
I think they gave a great
stand. I’m proud to be
a part of what they’ve
done,” Denver coach George
Karl said. “It’s going to be
hard to swallow but I think
we have a bright future and a
bright energy coming out of
Denver after a year that had
many, many faces.”
The Nuggets were shoot-
ing 51 percent and seemed
to be in control after Wilson
Chandler and Ty Lawson
had driving layups during an
8-2 run that pushed Denver’s
lead to 91-82 with 4:15 to
play. Chandler raced to the
rim when Russell Westbrook
didn’t switch over to him off
of a screen and Lawson blew
past Durant for his easy bas-
ket.
Thunder coach Scott
Brooks put his rim protector,
Serge Ibaka, back into the
game and the defense tight-
ened up from there.
Durant hit a 3-pointer from
the top of the key to start
bringing the Thunder back
and also connected on a lean-
er in the lane as Oklahoma
City reeled off nine straight
points to tie it at 91 on James
Harden’s 3-pointer from the
left side with 1:50 remaining.
Martin ended that spurt by
tipping in Raymond Felton’s
miss for what ended up being
Denver’s only basket in the

NFL’s request to put her
order lifting the lockout on

She dismissed the NFL’s

45-day lockout at the
request of the play-
ers.

giving up fellow rookie Wilson Ramos’
sac fly in the eighth that momentarily put
Washington ahead by a run. Francisco
Rodriguez pitched the ninth to earn his
sixth save in seven chances.
The Mets loaded the bases with
none out in the ninth. Chin-lung Hu
followed with a sac fly and Josh
Thole added an RBI groundout before
Murphy’s double.
Cardinals 6, Astros 5
HOUSTON — Kyle Lohse pitched
another gem, Matt Holliday and Tyler
Greene both homered and St. Louis
held off a late rally by Houston.
Lohse (4-1) allowed four hits
and pitched seven scoreless innings.
Holliday had three hits and his solo shot
to the Crawford Boxes in left field put St.
Louis up 1-0 in the fourth inning. Greene
hit his first home run of the season with
his 1-out shot to left field that made it
2-0 in the fifth. The Cardinals extended
their lead with a 4-run seventh.
Houston starter J.A. Happ (1-4)
allowed five hits and two runs in five
innings for the loss.
The Astros scored three runs in the
eighth inning before cutting the lead
to 6-5 after Jason Bourgeois tripled
in a run with one out in the ninth and
scored on sac fly by Michael Bourn.
Angel Sanchez doubled when Lance
Berkman couldn’t get to his fly ball to
right field but Eduardo Sanchez struck
out Hunter Pence to end the game.
Dodgers 5, Marlins 4, 10 innings
MIAMI — Andre Ethier extended
his hitting streak to 24 games in the
fourth inning, then homered in the 10th
to help Los Angeles salvage the finale
of the 3-game series.
Ethier led off the 10th and homered
on a 1-1 pitch from Brian Sanches
(3-1), ending the right-hander’s streak
of 13 2/3 scoreless innings to start the
season. Sanches, the Marlins’ eighth
pitcher, had allowed only one hit previ-
ously this year.
Ethier’s single in the fourth extend-
ed his major-league record for the lon-
gest April hitting streak. His batting
average rose to .380.
Mark Guerrier (2-1) got the win
and Rod Barajas hit a 3-run homer for
the Dodgers, who came back from a
4-0 deficit.
Reds 7, Brewers 6, 10 innings
MILWAUKEE — Drew Stubbs hit
a solo homer in the 10th inning and
Joey Votto drove in four runs to lead
Cincinnati.
Stubbs hit a sinker from Sergio Mitre
(0-1) over the center-field wall to put the
Reds ahead for good. Cincinnati, which
squandered leads of 4-0 and 6-4, got a
season-high 15 hits.
final four minutes. Durant
answered at the other end and
just kept hitting.
He put Oklahoma City on
top 96-95 with a 3-point play
with 1:05 remaining, connect-
ing on a one-handed shot as
he got knocked down in the
lane.
Felton put Denver back
ahead with two free throws
after he tweaked his left ankle
and had to be helped to the
Nuggets bench. He walked
gingerly to the line and hit
both shots but Durant and
Ibaka made sure that turned
out to be the Nuggets’ last
lead.
Durant put the Thunder
ahead to stay on two free
throws with 46 seconds left.
Ibaka then swatted Nene’s
dunk attempt for his ninth
block of the game — what
Durant considered the most
important play.
Durant followed with
a 19-foot jumper to put the
Thunder up 100-97 with
12 seconds to go. He made
6-of-7 shots — none of them
layups or dunks — and scored
14 points during the final four
minutes.
It appeared the Nuggets
would get one last chance to
go ahead when referee Bill
Spooner momentarily award-
ed them possession with 14.8
seconds left after Durant took
an inbounds pass and whirled
with the ball near the mid-
court line. He then reversed
his own call and gave the ball
back to Oklahoma City, set-
ting up Durant’s last jumper.
Westbrook had 14 points
on 3-for-15 shooting, one
game after he’d drawn criti-
cism for attempting 30 shots.
Despite dreadful 37 per-
cent shooting, Oklahoma City
stuck with the Nuggets with
a sizable edge in free-throw
opportunities and offensive
rebounds.
The Thunder made 34-of-
42 foul shots — doubling the
this court’s order,” Nelson
wrote.
And yet chaos there may
be, perhaps as early as today,
the first day of the NFL draft.
James Quinn, a lawyer for
the players, said free agen-
cy — the biggest immedi-
ate question for owners and
players alike — should start
immediately. NFL spokesman
Greg Aiello replied the league
is “evaluating the district
court’s decision” and would
advise teams this morning on
how to proceed.
The NFL Players
Association, now a trade
group and not a union, accused
the league of stalling.
Nelson’s ruling was not a
surprise, given her question-
ing of NFL attorney David
Boies during an April 6 hear-
ing and her 89-page order
lifting the lockout. She wrote
another 20 pages in her denial,
declaring the public’s interest
in the resumption of league
operations.
The judge acknowledged
her decision will be appealed
to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in St. Louis; Aiello
said that step was being taken
immediately. The appellate
court is viewed as a more
friendly venue to businesses
like the league than the fed-
eral courts in Minnesota.
League rules have effec-
tively been shelved since the
collective bargaining agree-
ment ended on March 11 and
the NFL’s first work stoppage
since 1987 began.
Nelson suggested that the
NFL “make a decision about
how to proceed and accept
the consequences” of that
choice. In writing the NFL
could go about its business,
Nelson noted that the league
had already gone forward
with the draft and announced
the 2011 schedule.
Nelson also pointed to the
contract tenders teams issued
to restricted free agents in
March before the lockout,
“treating them as if the league
intended to operate with the
2010 rules in place.”
The NFL had argued that
Nelson had no jurisdiction
and that she shouldn’t make a
decision while a complaint of
bad-faith negotiation against
the players was still pend-

NOTES: Karl missed last year’s
playoffs while being treated for

missing two key ones with 2:18 left
in the game.
Heat 97, 76ers 91
MIAMI — Dwyane Wade
scored 26 points, Chris Bosh added
22 points and 11 rebounds and
Miami advanced to the Eastern
Conference semifinals by beating
Philadelphia 97-91 in Game 5 on
Wednesday night.
Mario Chalmers scored 20
points and LeBron James fin-
ished with 16 points, 10 rebounds
and eight assists for Miami. Joel
Anthony made two free throws with
16.8 seconds left for the Heat, who
will face Boston starting Sunday in
Miami.
It was the first series win for the
Heat since the 2006 NBA finals.
Andre Iguodala and Elton
Brand each scored 22 points for
Philadelphia, which got 13 points
from Thaddeus Young, 12 from
Jodie Meeks and 10 from Jrue
Holiday.
The Heat saw a double-digit
lead cut to one in the final minute
before hanging on.
Philadelphia had a chance to
tie with 1:10 left but Evan Turner’s
baseline jumper bounced off the
rim.
Spurs 110, Grizzlies 103, OT
SAN ANTONIO — Gary Neal
caught an inbounds pass with
1.7 seconds left and forced over-
time with a 3-point heave as time
expired and San Antonio staved off
elimination.
Neal’s straightaway 3-pointer
was the second of two remarkable
San Antonio baskets in the final
2.2 seconds of regulation. Manu
Ginobili, who scored 33 points, hit
the other with a long corner jumper
while falling out of bounds to keep
top-seeded San Antonio alive.
The basket was originally count-
ed as a 3 that would have tied the
score but the officials went to video
review and ruled Ginobili’s toe was
on the line.
The eighth-seeded Grizzlies
lead the best-of-7 series 3-2 and
they will host the Spurs on Friday
night.
Zach Randolph led Memphis
with 26 points and 11 rebounds.
Tony Parker of the Spurs scored
six of his 24 points in overtime.
Relations Board, adding it
shouldn’t be subject to some
of the antitrust claims leveled
by the players with the col-
lective bargaining deal barely
expired.
The judge shot all of those
down and ruled the antitrust
arguments in a still-pending
lawsuit led by Tom Brady,
Drew Brees and others have
not been aired and are there-
fore not up for discussion
yet.
The league’s plea to
Nelson for the stay also was
based on a purported fear that
an immediate lifting of the
lockout would result in a free
agency free-for-all that could
create a mess that would be
difficult to undo should a new
collective bargaining agree-
ment lead to different rules.
Draft uncertainty compound-
ed by lockout: Nick Fairley had
to admit it. He’s starting to get
nervous.
The day before the NFL draft,
the All-American defensive tackle
from Auburn took a trip with some
other prospects to Radio City Music
Hall, where three days of festivities
start tonight with the first round.
“To see that draft symbol up on
stage and to think that I’m going
to be walking up there in about 24
hours, it was wild,” Fairley said. “A
lot of mixed emotions. Who knows
what’s going to happen?”
The NFL draft always is a guess-
ing game but never before has it
been accompanied by so much
uncertainty.
Not just who will go first overall
— the betting favorite is Heisman
Trophy winner Cam Newton to the
Carolina Panthers — but who goes
where and when beyond that.
And this year, the selection pro-
cess has the added element of labor
strife. Should the league be forced
to reopen for business before or
during the draft, the result could be
even more chaos.
The draft has been the league’s
only order of business since the
lockout began March 12. A record
25 prospects accepted invitations
to attend the draft itself; 13 were on
hand Wednesday for an NFL event
with grade-schoolers at a park on
the West Side of Manhattan.
A dozen of the players spoke
to the media after playing some
flag football with the kids, express-
ing little concern the labor impasse
would affect the 2011 season.
There were concerns that pres-
sure from the locked-out players
would persuade many likely high-
round draftees to skip the trip to
New York but many of the likely
draftees and their families and
friends soaked in the sights and
sounds of the Big Apple.
The only draft prospect direct-
ly involved in the labor dispute is
Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller,
projected to be a top-five pick; he
is a plaintiff in the antitrust lawsuit
brought by NFL players against the
league.

Flyers who knocked out the
Bruins last year after falling
behind in the series 3-0 and

Horton knows all about that

Government to urge food companies to limit ads for kids

By MARY CLARE JALONICK
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Commercials promot-
ing sugary breakfast cereals could be put on a
strict diet under government guidelines urging
food companies to limit marketing of unhealthy
products to children.
Under guidelines obtained by The Associated
Press, companies would be urged to only market
foods to children ages 2 through 17 if they are low
in fats, sugars and sodium and contain specified
healthy ingredients. The government is planning to
propose the voluntary guidelines today, according
to three people familiar with the process who were
not authorized to speak publicly.
The guidelines set parameters that are stricter
than many companies have set for themselves
and, if the companies agree, would eliminate
much of the advertising consumers see today —
on television, in magazines, in stores and on the
Internet — for foods that appeal to children.
If many companies sign on to the guidelines,
children could see much less of the colorful
cartoon characters used to advertise cereals or
other gimmicks designed to draw their attention.
Under the guidelines, if the companies wanted
to continue that advertising, they would have to
reduce unhealthy ingredients in their products.
The food industry already has been suc-
cessful in reducing the number of television
ads aimed at children in recent years and much
of that advertising has moved to magazines,
the Internet and social media. Public health
advocates have argued that the industry’s self-
regulation is not enough and has pushed the
government to set guidelines.
In 2009, Congress directed the Federal Trade
Commission, Agriculture Department, Food and
Drug Administration and the federal Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention to develop the
recommendations. The guidelines they wrote
are broad, applying to almost any promotion
a child might see for a food — including text
messages, product placement in video games
and celebrity endorsements.
In a statement to be released today, the agen-
cies said the proposal, which would be phased
in over five years and would be up for public
comment until the summer, is “to encourage
a marketing environment that supports, rather
than undermines, parents’ efforts to get their
children to eat more healthfully.”
Specifically, the agencies recommend that
companies only market foods that have a signif-
icant amount of fruits, vegetables, whole grains,
low-fat milk products, fish, extra lean meat,
eggs, nuts, seeds or beans. Foods that have any
trans-fat, more than 1 gram of saturated fat, 13
grams of added sugars or 210 milligrams of
sodium in a serving would not be eligible for
marketing to children under the guidelines.
The agencies suggest the industry focus its
efforts on foods that are most heavily marketed to
children, including breakfast cereals, carbonated
beverages, restaurant foods and snack foods.
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who authored
the original bill asking for the guidelines, said
Wednesday he is pleased with the agencies’
recommendations.
“Kids are being bombarded daily with ads
for unhealthy foods and it is long past time that
we limit the amount of junk food advertising,”
he said.
It is unclear whether government pressure
will be effective enough to get many compa-
nies to sign on. Some of the country’s largest
food companies, including McDonalds, General
Mills Inc., Kellogg Co., Kraft Foods Global and
PepsiCo Inc., already have joined an initiative
sponsored by the Better Business Bureau to
limit their marketing to children. The standards
are similar but not as strict.
Scott Faber, lobbyist for the Grocery
Manufacturers Association, says many compa-
nies already have reformulated foods to reduce
unhealthy ingredients.
“While the outside of the box hasn’t changed,
what’s in the inside the box has changed dra-
matically,” he says.
The food industry’s efforts to change recipes
and limit advertising have come as consumers

Endeavour launch brings tourists, traffic to Fla.
TITUSVILLE, Fla. (AP)
— Florida Space Coast hotels
are sold out, residents are
renting bedrooms and restau-
rants are doubling food sup-
plies as thousands of tourists
arriving for Friday’s launch
of space shuttle Endeavour
are boosting a region fearing
its economic future.
The launch is the next-
to-last for the program and
President Barack Obama and
his family will be in atten-
dance.
“The shuttle program is
winding down and this is
something that is on every-
body’s bucket list,” said Rob
Varley, the area’s top tourism
official. “For many people,
it’s like ’Uh-oh. We only
have two more chances to
see one.’”
The mission is also attract-
ing extra attention because
its commander is Mark
Kelly, whose wife is Arizona
Congresswoman Gabrielle
Giffords. She is recuperat-
ing from a serious head
wound suffered in a January
assassination attempt, but
arrived at Cape Canaveral on
Wednesday and is expected
to watch the launch from a
private location.
Crowd estimates vary
widely — Brevard County
expects 250,000 visitors will
attend. NASA’s launch direc-
tor says 500,000. And Varley
is guessing 700,000. That fig-
ure would rival John Glenn’s
space shuttle launch in 1998
and those from some of the
Apollo moon launches in the
1960s and 1970s.
Endeavour’s launch may
be one of the last economic
jolts the region gets as the
space shuttle program winds
down this summer. Economic
prospects for the area are pre-
carious. The Space Coast is
still reeling from Florida’s
housing slump, NASA con-
tractors already have laid-off
thousands of workers and the
unemployment rate is over
11 percent. Empty storefronts
dot some shopping malls and
vacant condos are common
along the beach.
Shuttle launches usu-
ally generate about $5 mil-
lion in economic activity for
the Space Coast. Given the
huge crowds expected, the
Endeavour launch could gen-
erate more than $15 million,
Varley said.
Army opens prison for media review
FORT LEAVENWORTH,
Kan. (AP) — Army officials
are opening the doors to the
military prison in Kansas where
they are holding an Army pri-
vate suspected of illegally pass-
ing U.S. government secrets to
the WikiLeaks web site.
Pfc. Bradley Manning was
moved last week from the
Marine brig in Quantico, Va., to
the Joint Regional Correctional
Facility at Fort Leavenworth
amid criticism over his treatment
and confinement.
Army spokesman Col. Tom
Collins said the media tour of the
military’s medium-security pris-
on at Fort Leavenworth would
show the conditions under which
the Army holds Manning as he
undergoes further evaluation.
“Clearly, Pfc. Manning is an
unusual circumstance,” Collins
said.
He said Manning would soon
be completing the pretrial evalu-
ation that all inmates go through
when they arrive at a prison.
Manning is suspected of hav-
ing obtained the classified docu-
ments while serving as an Army
intelligence analyst in Iraq. He
is awaiting a determination by
the Army on whether he’s men-
tally competent to stand trial. He
faces nearly two dozen charges,
including aiding the enemy, a
crime that can bring the death
penalty or life in prison.
The Fort Leavenworth
prison, which opened late last
year, was built near the U.S.
Disciplinary Barracks, the mili-
tary’s maximum-security prison
for inmates sentenced to at least
five years confinement, includ-
ing those sentenced to death.
About 150 inmates are at the
medium-security prison, Collins
said, including others awaiting
military trial. The prison is the
northern edge of the fort, which
is also home to the Army’s
Command and General Staff
College.
Manning was transferred to
Fort Leavenworth amid inter-
national criticism about the
23-year-old’s treatment during
his detention in the Washington
area. At Quantico, Manning
was held in maximum security
in a single-occupancy cell and
was allowed to wear only a
suicide-proof smock to bed
each night.

Police: Man lived with dead woman for week
By JOHN S. MARSHALL
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Complaints of an unusual smell led
police to discover a woman’s badly decomposed body inside a
California studio apartment where they say a man had been living
with the corpse for at least a week.
Santa Cruz police officers found the 30-year-old woman’s
body after entering the apartment at about 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Investigators haven’t been able to establish how the woman died
because of the deteriorated state of her body, authorities said
Wednesday.
Investigators also haven’t determined how long the woman
had been dead, but Santa Cruz deputy police Chief Steve Clark
said he was comfortable saying it had been at least a week.
The apartment’s resident, 63-year-old John Clauer, was in
custody on a no-bail parole hold based on a prior drug convic-
tion, Clark said.
It wasn’t clear if Clauer and the woman were sharing the
apartment as roommates or if they were romantically involved.
Investigators were questioning neighbors and canvassing the area
to try to figure out the relationship between the two, Clark said.
“If it is indeed a homicide, then he becomes a suspect,” Clark
said. “He could also be charged with failure to report a death as
appropriate.”
Clauer has had what Clark described as a “storied history”
with Santa Cruz police, having been arrested previously on drug
and alcohol related offenses, though it wasn’t clear how much
time Clauer had served behind bars.
Clauer didn’t have an attorney by Wednesday evening.
An autopsy was planned for later this week. The woman’s
name hasn’t been released.

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years
Due to Weak Economy and It’s Happening Right Here in Delphos!
By DAVID MORGAN
STAFF WRITER

ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and

running television spots this week asking people to bring
in any old silver and gold coins made before 1965.
Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with
collectors one on one and have their coins looked at
with an expert set of eyes. With the help of these ICCA
members, offers will be made to those that have coins
made before 1965. Offers will be made based on silver
or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made
before 1965 will be examined and purchased including
gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels
and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be
paid on the spot.
If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old
coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have
ever wondered what they are worth now might be your
chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They
could be worth a lot according to the International Coin
Collectors Association also known as ICCA. Collectors
will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their
collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth
over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector
and ICCA member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S
