Technology, experience drive dispatch center

Everett said. When theres storms, we have someone on every phone ready to take calls. The slowest time for calls at the center is 4-7 a.m. and the busiest is in the afternoon and early evening on days not impacted by the weather. Thursdays snow showers caused a spike in the number of emergency calls. In an eighthour shift, he said there were around 80-100 calls. It may seem like total chaos to someone else but its organized chaos for us, said Candy Morse, 25-year communications operator for the center. We make sure everyone gets help. Prioritizing is key, Everett explained. Someone will have to be priority. Our main concern is safety for the public, he said. The staff here does a good job of prioritizing. The Allen County center does not dispatch for each community it receives calls from; instead, for some, it transfers the calls to the dispatcher in the appropriate city, village or township, including 9-1-1 calls from Delphos. When a person calls 9-1-1 from Delphos using a cell phone or landline, the call goes to the Allen County dispatch center. The dispatchers then transfer the calls to the Delphos Police Department, which then dispatches an officer or other emergency personnel. The Allen County center has four dispatch points where staff members can receive and dispatch calls. Each point has a button for each department the center receives calls for and with a simple click, the call is transferred. Transferring calls takes only seconds, Everett said. See DISPATCH, page 10

Netherlands hospital staff visits St. Ritas Medical Center

This hospital has many of the same characteristics and an atmosphere similar to our own, Voorburg said. Project Manager and Nurse Jan Roelofsen said their current technology was older and soon would be obsolete. Knowing we need to replace our electronic medical record system spurred us to investigate Epic, Roelofsen explained. The visit at St. Ritas rendered the team an experience of seeing the hardware and software live after implementation. We spoke with patients using MyChart and they endorsed the program, Voorburg said excitedly. There were many positive comments. MyChart Bedside gives a patient and caregivers access to the same information doctors and nurses use to care for patients while hospitalized, all available from a tablet, Android or Apple phone. With Bedside, patients can: view health information, lab results and plan for the day; see pictures and profiles of the health care team providing care and exchange messages with them; and review educational videos or create their own notes. The application uses hospital medical records system to securely show patients this information. Catholic Health Partners (CHP) plans to roll out the application to its 23 hospitals after a successful pilot taking place at St. Ritas. Since late August, 34 patients have used a hospital tablet or their own personal hand-held device to interact with MyChart Bedside. With MyChart patients can: Schedule their own appointments in real-time and request a new appointment with an established doctor. View a list of current medications, request prescription renewals and learn more about medications. View details of recent medical tests and read doctors comments. Chart and graph numerical test results. View a list of procedures or immunizations recommended based on age, gender and medical history with due dates included. View vital signs taken during the last 15 office visits. In addition, patients can

LIMA Nine members of St Jansdal Hospital, located 40 miles from Amsterdam in the Netherlands, visited St. Ritas Medical Center on Friday to be inspired by a US hospital that can show them a higher level of patient engagement through the hospitals use of the MyChart Bedside application. Former cardiologist and member of St Jansdal Board of Directors Jan Voorburg said St. Ritas is very similar to St Jansdal. When speaking with Epic the company who designs and sells the software about seeing the program in use, representatives decisively chose St. Ritas and called them the Rock Star of hospitals.

use a health and wellness tool called My Health Resources to: read articles on diet and nutrition, recipes, heart health and community involvement; receive information about free community health talk seminars; view health information webcasts and podcasts; and interact with health quizzes, risk assessments, health modules and calculators. There are an array of other tools available through the application. Catholic Health Partners Chief Medical Information Officer Dr. Stephen Beck said St. Ritas Medical Center was excited to host the members of St Jansdal Hospital. While their system integration is different, Beck said, they can see best practices and the challenges of implementation.

The Herald 3

Carry on after parents death

La Verne, Calif. All for one and one for all, the motto of the famous Three Musketeers, found a parallel in the lives of three orphans who live on a ranch near here. After the death of their mother more than a year ago, Sidney, Harry and Albert Lane, aged 8, 12 and 13, carried on alone at the family ranch in Pine Canyon. They shared the work, shared their food and traveled five miles to school each day. Then one day there was little food left. The boys became so weak they were unable to go to school. L.G. Smith of the country forestry department, in charge of the Pine Canyon station, found the boys. He told neighbors of their condition and food was supplied them. Now people have taken an interest in the three boys and indications are that their lives will be brighter than they have for the past few months. Delphos Herald, Oct. 25, 1928 Ten Year Old is Six Feet Tall Alton, Ill. Robert Wadlow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wadlow, at 10 years of age is six feet tall and weighs 211 pounds. Four physicians who examined him predicted that his average growth of four inches a year will continue until he is approximately 9 feet tall. They based their predictions on the size of Roberts feet, which now measure 15 1/2 inches from heel to toe when out of his $30-a-pair triple E size 21 shoes, explaining that a rapidly-growing boys feet outdistance their owners height early and t hen waited for the rest of the body to catch up. An overzealous pituitary gland is credited with the responsibility for Roberts upspringing. The boys mother and father are of normal size as are Roberts three brothers and sisters. Delphos Herald, Oct. 25, 1928 Find Signs of Electric Lamps in Ancient Egypt Munich That electricity must have been known to the ancients has been many times asserted, but now comes forward, an electrician at Munich, one Stadleman, who has been in times past an archaeologist, to assert that he found in Egypt, in buried walls, indications of the use of electric lamps. He claims that Moses brought electricity from Egypt and that there are biblical paragraphs which will bear him out in his statement that lightning rods were in use in the temple at Jerusalem. Stadelman believes that the serpent of bronze of Moses was nothing more nor less than an ordinary lightning rod such as is in use today. He points out further that the ark of the covenant, made as it was of wood and adorned inside and out with gold, constituted a veritable leyden jar which communicated with a lightning rod on the roof, and that it was so arranged that, under certain conditions it could be charged with electric fluid and produce the death of any ignorant person daring to enter the sacred precincts of the ark

without necessary precautions. Delphos Herald, Oct. 25, 1928 Improvements Along Clover Leaf Extensive improvements are being made by the Nickel Plate along their tracks west of Delphos. Working west from this city toward Landeck, two gangs of men are installing new ties. New crushed stone ballast is also being put in wherever the new ties and rails are laid. The two rings of laborers total eighty men. They are making their headquarters in Delphos and are living in eight cars which the company has brought here for that purpose. The Western Union is also making improvements along the Clover Leaf. A gang of ten Western Union men is engaged in reconstructing the lines of that company along the Clover Leaf railroad. These men also are being housed in cars here, three Western Union cars having been brought to Delphos for their use. Delphos Herald, Oct. 25, 1928 Senate Bill Proposal Might Put Local Concerns Out of Business A number of Delphos shippers are concerned over a bill which is now being considered in committee in the state senate and it is likely that a number of protests will be made from Delphos against the passage of the bill. This proposed law, known a s Senate Bill 152, provides that the railroads shall pay one half of all cost of condemnation and the full cost of removing obstacles to the view at grade crossings; also that no cars shall be allowed the stand on sidings within 300 feet of grade crossings. It is pointed out that, if this bill is passed, it will practically put out of business, many concerns in Delphos, as also in all other small towns and cities in the country. It would make it practically impossible to set a car for loading at most of the industrial plants of Delphos. Coal dealers, grain elevators, poultry and produce concerns and many others would find it impossible under the proposed law to have cars set in along their places of business and would be forced out of business. Delphos Herald, Mar. 23, 1927 Magazine Article Tells Experience of Delphos Man The April number of the American Magazine contains an interesting account of balloon flights in which a former Delphos man participated. The story is written around the activities of the balloon pilot Van Orman and his aid Walter W. Morton, who was born

Delphos Herald, Mar. 25, 1927 Three Indians Will Try to Break Record San Antonio, Tex. Pounding barefoot over 82 miles of concrete, gravel and pasture, three Tarahumara Indians today will leave here in this first recognized attempt to shatter the 82-mile record in 45 years. The three, Thomas Zafiro, 38, Jos Torres, 24 and Augustin Salado will leave here this morning, bells attached to their belts, jingling a merry accompaniment to the solid pat of their feet on the pavement. They expect to reach the university of Texas some time late today. Delphos Herald, Mar. 25, 1927 Rare Book of Spanish Monk Efforts are being made to purchase from its owners in Spain, a copy of a rare volume by a Spanish monk of the latter part of the 17th century in which a remarkable study of the possibility of flying is provided. It was 250 years ago that Antonio de la Pella wrote his El Ente Dalucidado, beautifully illustrated and illuminated by hand. The majority of its chapters however, dealt with subjects of such little interest that few ever took the trouble to reach the portion which may be said to give to Spain, the right to claim the title of the Discoverer of Modern Aviation. There is so close an analogy between the Spanish monks theories and the practice of today that French group interested in the subject is said to have offered 75,000 francs for the only copy of the volume. Delphos Herald, Oct. 24, 1928 Delphos Kiwanis Asking For Canal Improvements The Delphos Kiwanis Club is asking the state to make further improvements along the Miami & Erie Canal in this city. A letter was addressed to W.J. Alexander, canal superintendent, by Dr. D.J. Clark, secretary of the Kiwanis Club, Thursday, asking him to use his influence with the state department of public works for additional improvements. The Kiwanians are urging that an appropriation be made by the state for the extension of the concrete retaining walls which were erected during the past summer on both banks of the canal between Second and Third streets and on the west side from Third street to the old lock a short distance north of that street. It is urged that these walls, on both sides of the canal, be extended south by Second street to First street. The Kiwanians are asking that a cement pavement be constructed in the alleyway on the east bank of the canal between Second and Third streets. Delphos Herald, Oct. 26, 1928

KANTELE FRANKO Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) Democratic gubernatorial contender Ed FitzGerald has chosen a Dayton-area business attorney who supports abortion rights in his second pass at picking a running mate. FitzGerald announced his choice of Sharen Swartz Neuhardt in an email to campaign supporters Friday. Neuhardt, 62, may be familiar to southwest Ohio voters from her two unsuccessful bids for Congress, in 2008 and 2012. She brings geographic and gender diversity to the ticket that FitzGerald, an Irish Catholic from Cleveland, has sought as he runs against Kasich. The first-term governor is expected to retain Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor as his running mate as he makes his bid for re-election. FitzGerald first selected state Sen. Eric Kearney, a Cincinnati lawyer who is black, as his No. 2. But Kearney withdrew after revelations that he had hefty tax liens. Neuhardt said in a telephone interview Friday that she was rigorously vetted by the campaign over several weeks. I felt like, at the end, that they know me better than almost anybody else, she said.

COLUMBUS Records show an Ohio inmate took 26 minutes to die during an execution in which he gasped repeatedly the longest amount of time since the state resumed putting inmates to death 15 years ago. The timeline of Dennis McGuires death indicates Ohios never-before-tried combination of lethal drugs began at 10:27 a.m. Thursday, with McGuire being pronounced dead at 10:53 a.m. Timelines of the 53 Ohio executions since 1999 analyzed by The Associated Press found that the next-longest execution was the 22 minutes it took killer Reginald Brooks to die in 2011. Brooks received a lethal dose of a different drug.

Definite breach in chocolate protocol

I called my friend Anne Friday to tell her a funny story and she didnt answer, so you guys get to hear it. I keep my candy stash in the kitchen in full view of all. With the clear lack of security, one could say I get what I deserve if some comes up missing. To my thinking, its still my stash and I know it and everyone else knows, so whats the problem? I know whats there, so keep your hands off. Our weekend trips to the grocery store usually yield several sweets to share and then a few that go into our personal stashes his in the bedroom, mine in the kitchen. The areas are clearly defined. Toward the end of the week, his supply dwindles and I go through spurts. Sometimes I eat mine right away and sometimes it hangs around for a while. I have had mercy upon my husband and thrown him a candy bar or two in the latter part of the week because I know hes either out or getting low. On Thursday, I noticed my Hershey candy bar was missing. Of course, this takes me to my favorite fictional heroine, Eve Dallas, who also contends with a candy thief at least once each time we have the pleasure of meeting through the pages of the J.D. Robb novels. Hmmm. I know it was there on Wednesday. It had been there for a little while but I hadnt been in the mood. I like most chocolate but sometimes nothing hits the spot like pure, unadulterated Hersheys chocolate. Mmmm.

NANCY SPENCER

On the Other hand

Since there are only two of us in the house tall enough to reach where the candy bar was, Im pretty sure I know where it went. I didnt mention it until Friday evening when I claimed my husband was a Hershey bar thief. He tried to give that blank stare but I could see the laughter lurking behind his eyes from the get-go. Aha! Guilty! Let me tell you something about your chocolate bar, he began. It looked like it had melted and then formed back together and the edges were a funny color. Did you eat it? I asked. Well, yeah, he said. While I tried to hold back my giggles, I asked the next question. Why? Did you want to put it out of its misery? Yeah. It was in bad shape, he said. Well, OK. Its hard to argue with that kind of logic when youre talking about chocolate. Im still not going to forget he definitely breached chocolate protocol and carefully-planned retaliation is in order.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

DEAR EDITOR: As the Blizzard of 2014 ends, we left with snow as far as the eye can see, frigid temperatures and icy roads. One of these are able to be controlled, of course. Im talking of the icy and unsafe roadways. This should not be a concern for residents of Delphos and its surrounding area, yet the streets are horrendous. Why? Is it the city budget? Is it our so-called civil servants? The safety of citizens, more importantly children, should top the list of concerns of city county and our mayor. We cant afford water let alone snow plows. That alone should be a call to action. When drivers cant accelerate past 10 mph without sliding, theres a problem. Manage the budget, cut down on expenses, do whatever it takes to make Americas Friendliest City also one of its safest. Regards, Kellen Schomaeker Delphos

Point of View

Fighting the war on poverty 50 years later

BY U.S. SENATOR SHERROD BROWN Fifty years ago, President Lyndon Johnson declared a war on poverty in his State of the Union Address, saying Many Americans live on the outskirts of hope some because of their poverty, and our task is to help replace their despair with opportunity. He later echoed those statements in May of 1964 while visiting Ohio University in Brown Athens. Today, were still fighting the war on poverty, but our country took a small step toward progress last week, as my Democratic and Republican Senate colleagues voted to open debate on a bill that would renew unemployment benefits. Weve still got a long way to go. We know that if no compromise is reached, 1.3 million Americans including more than 52,000 Ohioans who have lost benefits, this year already, and another 76,000 Ohioans who will lose them by the end of this year will not regain the assistance that theyve been depending on to make ends meet while they look for work. Far too many Americans are still hurting. We are still emerging from the worst recession since the Great Depression. Weve made progress, but there are still nearly 11 million Americans unemployed, and more than 4 million of them have been employed for 27 weeks or more. When President Bush signed the latest round of emergency assistance into effect, the unemployment rate was 5.6 percent almost a point-and-ahalf lower than it is today. And the long-term unemployment rate is more than double what its been at any other time Congress has let emergency jobless assistance expire. We must renew unemployment insurance and provide families the resources they need to continue making ends meet. Helping them to get on their feet will also help the economy grow and create jobs. These people should be able to focus on finding work without the added

but lets stop pretending that pot consumers are nefarious denizens of the underworld. Among those who enjoy a recreational smoke are the folks selling you a house, golfing on the ninth hole and probably an editor or two here and there. The war on drugs (beware government domestic wars) hasnt made a dent in the popularity of pot. Nor, after decades of common use, has it been proved to be the evil weed of Reefer Madness. How much better to have dedicated our resources to education and treatment rather than, through prohibition, to empowering criminals and cartels, not to mention ruining young lives with criminal records. I came to this position not when I was a college student, a time when inhaling pot was a consequence of breathing the ambient air, but when I was the law-abiding, straightarrow, tough-loving mother of a teenager. Suffice to say, I became aware that marijuana use was common among teens of all hues and stripes. I couldnt imagine then or now that children might be labeled criminals for behaviors that mostly required parental attention. This should not be construed to mean I recommend pot use, certainly not by minors, any more than William F. Buckley did when he concluded that it shouldnt

be illegal. Marijuana isnt necessarily harmless abuse is abuse but adults should be able to consume it without fear of legal repercussions, just as we consume alcohol. Even though todays weed is much stronger than the stuff we used to smoke, its use is rarely as consequential as alcohol can be. Stoners might become overinvolved in the microscopic ecosystem of tree bark, but theyre unlikely to shoot up a bar over a pool game. Brooks listed several reasons why he and his buddies quit smoking (you smoked during school, David?!). I quit because it bored me. Im a caffeinated sort, happiest on Monday mornings when everyone is back to business and Im on deadline. Give me coffee or give me death. Having given up nearly everything that made getting out of bed worthwhile, I am healthier, happier, more productive and have discovered that life is not, in fact, short. But both my current abstinence and the indulgences I once enjoyed (and may again, if my cocktailstoop buddies have any say) were my own. My decisions, my responsibility, my consequences. As they should be for marijuana as well. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

BY U.S. SENATOR ROB PORTMAN This weekend, Americans of every race and background will take a moment to remember one of our nations great leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We do so with good reason. Throughout his short life, Dr. King overcame adversity to inspire our nation during one of the most tumultuous eras in our history. He led by example, stepping above the racism and violence he encountered, and responding with peaceful tactics and powerful words to influence change at a time when change Portman seemed impossible. Dr. King had a dream which he described in his famous speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial, not far from the memorial that now bears his name. But he also helped America realize its own dream, the principle in our founding documents, of equality under the law. And yet, there is still much work to do. Although our nation has ended legal discrimination based upon the color of a persons skin, economic disparity persists. Figures show that the unemployment rate of African Americans today is nearly double that of whites, 50 years after Dr. King led the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. With such high levels of unemployment, it is little wonder that the poverty gap between blacks and whites, already too wide, is widening even more; in 2012, African Americans were almost three times as likely to live below the poverty line. We do not need statistics to tell us that socioeconomic progress has been disappointing. The question we ask this Dr. Martin Luther King Day is, what can be done to help ensure that every Americanregardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or socioeconomic statusis given a realistic chance to succeed. Clearly, stronger overall economic growth would help by creating more jobs and opportunity. We are in the midst of the weakest economic recovery since records have been keptyears after the recession ended, our economy still has not recovered the jobs lost. As President John F. Kennedy once said, a rising tide lifts all boats. This is why I will continue to work towards creating a business-friendly environment that can create jobs. See KING, page 10

stress of whether they can pay the rent and put food on the table. Thats what unemployment benefits do, and thats why Im calling on my colleagues in the House to bring this legislation up for a vote. But thats just the first step in bringing our economy back on track. There are three more steps we can take to reduce unemployment by creating jobs, and improve our economy without adding to the budget. First, with too many Ohioans still unable to find work, we should be doing all that we can to ensure that our workers are qualified to fill Ohio jobs. Ive held more than 200 roundtables across Ohios 88 counties, and many employers have told me that they are having a hard time finding skilled workers. The Strengthening Employment Clusters to Organize Regional Success or SECTORS Act would help close the skills gap by creating partnerships between educators, industry and workforce training boards to ensure that workers have the right skills to get hired in local, high-tech, good-paying jobs.

Ice harvesting
The bitter cold weather we experienced a few weeks ago didnt seem good for doing anything outside. But 100 years ago it would have been perfect for producing a summertime necessity: ice! Until mechanical refrigeration in the home became commonplace in the early 20th century, housewives kept their food preserved and their lemonade cold with ice harvested during the cold winter months. Harvesting ice for cooling dates back to the ancient Persians who brought ice down from the mountains in winter and stored it in heavily insulated, underground vaults. Europeans, Russians and even the Chinese also enjoyed harvested ice although this luxury was often reserved for the wealthy. In the United States the ice trade took off at the beginning of the 19th century with the development of icehouses and ice boxes. Many northern communities along the east coast spent the cold, winter months harvesting ice from lakes and rivers and storing it in well insulated ice houses. In the summer this ice was not only used locally but shipped to the Caribbean and southern states. Harvesting ice was often a community event. When the weather had been cold enough for a sufficient time to build up 10-14 of ice, men would gather to begin the harvest. A depth of 10-14 of ice was necessary to hold the men and horses used in the harvest. The first step, after determining depth, would be to scrape off any snow on the

ice. A wooden scraper sufficed to remove light, powdery snow but a scoop scraper was often needed to remove deeper, wetter snow. After the surface was cleaned the ice would be scribed in a checkerboard pattern with an ice marker. An ice marker had a row of teeth about 20 apart which cut an inch or two into the ice. It also had a guide on one side which fit into the previous groove to keep the lines parallel and straight. After the pattern was established an ice plow pulled by a horse was used to deepen the depth of each grid line. A pass with the ice plow deepened the grid line by up to two inches. Horses wore studded shoes to keep their traction on the slick surface. A few passes by the ice plow cut into the ice 6-8 inches whereupon the horses gave way to men with ice saws. A few strokes with the ice saws freed the blocks of ice which were floated to a waiting conveyor to be loaded onto wagons. The ice blocks were moved up the conveyor by men with pikes or by horsepower. Once loaded, the wagons headed to the icehouse. The ice house was typically a wooden structure with double walls that were packed with sawdust for insulation. The walls could be as much as three feet thick. To fill the icehouse you started with a layer of insulating sawdust on the floor. As you stacked the ice you put a thin layer of sawdust between each layer so you could get it apart when you needed it. See ICE, page 10

I learned something new today

You would probably be surprised at how much research actually goes in to one of these articles. During that period of time two things happen. First, I find myself reading much more deeply into a subject than is certainly needed for the article. I cant help it; I am still fascinated by many of the subjects I read. Secondly, I find that so many writers have found a way to express themselves in a way that I dream about. In other words, they are great writers and I am certainly not there yet. Someone once said that plagiarism is the purest form of flattery, but . My last article was about the art of letter writing which is also the subject of the newest exhibit being constructed at the Museum. When looking for information, I stumbled across an article written by the president of the American Philatelic SocietyWade E. Saadi. He was talking about teaching his 4 year old granddaughter about letter writing and stamp collecting. I thought I heard a collective ugh out there. But having a grandson who is just slightly older made me stop and think about something I saw my wife do with him just this morning. Because of all the electronics in his life, I just figured he would go the way of most kids his age and never even think about either of those subjects. Being in Ohio with most of our family centered in New York, we try very hard to keep pictures, stories, and take trips back East in order to give our grandson, Jeremy, a family connection. Something we did when our children were small was to teach them that our good friends were considered to be relatives you know like Uncle Emil and Aunt Carol. Although these people werent blood they still had a big influence in their lives. So this morning Jeremy drew some pictures. Since he is almost 5 we have begun to teach him how to write numerals and letters and to put them in his artwork. So this morning when he was done drawing, he decided he wanted to send the picture to his Uncle Eric in Erie, Pennsylvania. Uncle Eric is his godfather and a close friend of my son. He wanted to include a letter with it so he dictated one to my wife. So she got him an envelope and had him write Erics name and she put on the address and a Christmas forever stamp. Later in the day, they walked up to the mailboxes in our complex and mailed the letter. I am sure Uncle Eric will send him a letter back and Jeremy will be thrilled to receive it. Every day he goes to the mailbox and hopes that there is something in there for him. When our daughter was small she would start yelling from the top of the stairs when she heard that old Jeep coming down the street delivering mail. I would hear I coming mailman over and over until she met him at the mailbox at the end of our driveway. Kids love getting mail and generally mailmen love kids. So the seed has been planted for there to be a letter writer in the family; but what about stamps? Jeremy just started religious training at church and so there has been a large amount of discussion about Christmas (by the way, he loves playing dreidel also). I mentioned that they put a Christmas stamp on the envelope. Following the suggestions of Mr. Saadi, my plan is to purchase a sheet of each of the holiday stamps and put them in a binder. On the cover I am going to ask Jeremy to make another picture and slip it inside. Ill make a banner for it that says Jeremys Stamp Album. Besides his stamps, I am going to put a map of the world and a map of the US in his album. The next time we have a chance to sit down and talk, I am going to show him the parts of the world represented in those holiday stamps. We will also look at the US map and place a star where Uncle Eric lives. Next time we Skype Uncle Melchior and Aunt Mary in Germany, well have him post a letter to them. When you stop and think there have been numerous stamp designs that are just perfect for children: Disney characters are the first ones that jump into my mind. How about the nature stamps that are hidden inside a picture? Have you taken your family to the sand dunes in Michigan? Why not buy them the sheet of stamps that is a picture of the Great Lakes Dunes. What child isnt fascinated about dinosaurs? Is your child older? How about the 30th Anniversary Star Wars stamps, Marvel Comic Strip characters and Super Heroes? It is never too late or too early in a childs life to teach him to write a letter, color a picture, pick out appropriate stamps or to learn about geography. Make his personal expression something exciting (and educational). His collection can follow his interests. Jeremy is going to be getting some lessons in geography and history without cracking a book or sitting through a lecture in school. What better way is there to learn than by doing? Need help getting started? Contact us and well give you a hand or maybe some stamps. Remember to make your reservations now for the Third Annual Gala Dinner and fundraiser set for 5 p.m. Feb. 9. Cost is just $25 per person for hors doeuvres, drinks, dinner and a short program. Please come and support one of your hometown treasurers! 419-303-5482.

Saturday, January 18, 2014

Almost everyone had a good week in the third-to-last installment of Pigskins picks for the 2013-14 season sob, sob! Regular Bob Weber and Guest Picker 1, Charlie Warnimont, both went 4-0, while yours truly and GP 2 Erin Cox went 3-1. GP 3 Mike Wulfhorst went 1-3. That puts Bob at 138-76-1 overall 65-32 in college and 73-44-1 in the pros me at 120-94-1 (56-41, 64-53-1) and the GPs at 206-188-2 (90-87, 116-101-2). Everybody returns, as does regular Dave Boninsegna. I also invited Larry Heiing, correspondent for The Herald, and WDOH personality boys, is he a personality! Mike Jake Bowers, to join us this week as we are down to the conference title games. Here are the Games: Conference Championships: San Francisco at Seattle; New England at Denver. JIM METCALFE SEATTLE: This is one of those where the 49ers are perhaps the better overall team but Seattles defense is better overall from front to back. Plus, the asylum known as CenturyLink Field is worth at least double the normal home-field advantage, just enough for the Seahawks to earn their second trip to the Ultimate Game. NEW ENGLAND: Such a classic game of two of the NFLs all-time great QBs. Denvers defense has been more depleted by injuries and the Pats have a strong and physical running game to keep Peyton off the field. Brady wont choke like Rivers did last week, either. DAVE BONINSEGNA DENVER: Denver is 7-1 at home and lost to the Pats in OT earlier in the season, but that was then; I really think that Peyton and the Broncos break out of the playoff slump this week and head to SB 48. SEATTLE: The Seattle-SF game looks a lot like the AFC game; Seattle is 7-1 at home and split with the Niners in the season. I think the 12th man (13th a little to the north) will make a big difference here; this could very well be Seattles year. BOB WEBER S E AT T L E The coaches dont like each other. The hitting will be hard and the trash talking will be at an alltime high in this one. Who controls their emotions the best will be successful. The Seahawks go for a seventh straight home playoff contest win and their 17th victory in 18 home games. Their defense led the league this year and has forced 28 interceptions and a passer rating for opposing QBs of 63.4. Russell Wilson continues to shine as one of the new stars in the league. Tough place to play and the whole 6th Man Factor even produced a small earthquake during last Saturdays win over New Orleans. DENVER Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning LeGarrette Blount vs. Knowshon Moreno Julius Thomas vs. (Oh, thats right all their TEs are in jail or somewhere else) John Fox vs. Bill Belichick (Mr. Stand Up Comedian of the Year). (EDITORS NOTE: Bob is really zinging them, aint he?!) The home team has won all three previous playoff meetings. PLEASE BRONCOS WIN I cant stand the thought of the Patriots being back in the Super Bowl!!!! ERIN COX S A N FRANCISCO: As much as I dont want to have to hear my boyfriend gloat about the Niners, I want them to beat the Seahawks. I would much rather see them lose to Manning. DENVER: If I havent made it clear all season, I will never support the Patriots (EN: Naw. I never, ever, EVER saw that!!!) and I am put at peace watching Belicheat lose. The fact that Manning can have a hand in their downfall just makes it even sweeter. MIKE WULFHORST Seattle: The 49ers beat the Seahawks in week 14 this season but that was at San Francisco. In this matchup, the 49ers will go on the road to take on Russell Wilson and the very loud crowd at Century Link Field where the Seahawks have only lost one time in the last 2 years. It will be a game matching up two great defenses in this titanic struggle. I am going to go with the Seattle Seahawks in a hard-fought defensive struggle in this one by a score of 20 to 17. New England: Tom Brady of the New England Patriots against Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos in this highly-anticipated battle. Brady has dominated Manning throughout his career with a 10-4 overall record. The last time these two teams, played the Patriots conquered a huge deficit to defeat the Broncos in overtime. I believe that the Patriots offense will be too much for the team from the milehigh city and they will win this highscoring affair by a score of 38 to 27. CHARLIE WARNIMONT Seattle As much as I would like to pick San Francisco, I feel their luck may have run out. While San Francisco has won its two playoff games on the road this season, Seattle is a tough place to play bY evidence of the 49ers loss at the Seahawks. Seattles home crowd gives them an edge that Russell Wilson and teammates take advantage of. The one fear I have with this pick is that Seattles defense allowed New Orleans to rally late and make things interesting. If the Seahawks defense does that again this week, I could regret this pick.

Cats conquer Kalida in non-league battle

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS This is the time of year when illness, injuries and bad weather can wreak havoc on a basketball teams preparations. Both boys units from Jefferson and Kalida can commiserate, each with their share of all three. Naturally, it came down to one more made free throw statistically as Jefferson slid by Kalida 51-50 in non-league action Friday night at The Stage of Jefferson Middle School. The game was postponed from Dec. 14 due to weather. Jefferson (8-5) was without sophomore rotation player Dalton Hicks due to injury, while Kalida (8-4) senior starter Joe Gerdeman and junior bench player Logan Roebke also were out with injuries. This has been one weird season between the weather, injuries and illnesses. This week, we didnt have a practice where at least five of our guys werent out due to the flu, which has hit the school overall, Jefferson coach Marc Smith explained. This was a great team victory. We told the kids before that game that we were going to have to show mental toughness to make a play somewhere along the line to win the game and we did. We told them that teams to our north Kalida, Ottoville, Fort Jennings, any Putnam County team boys or girls have that mental toughness from the start because basketball is in their families and upon a couple of junior varsity sophomores to play varsity; its what you have to do. We did not have the balance we need to beat a team like Jefferson tonight; give them credit for overcoming what they have gone through. Both teams shot the same percentage 42.9 percent on 18-of-42, though Jefferson was 7-of-18 downtown and Kalida 7-of-20. The hosts were 8-of-13 at the stripe (61.5%) to Kalidas 7-of-8 (87.5%). Both teams took terrific care of the orb as the hosts only had five turnovers and the visitors four. As expected between two well-matched teams with the biggest lead by anyone being five and seeing 18 lead changes and two ties this one came down to the fourth period. With Jefferson holding a 40-36 lead after 24 minutes, the visitors scored the first five points to take a 41-40 edge on a putback by junior Cole Miller (6 points, 7 boards) at 5:52, only to see the hosts retake it on a putback by senior Austin Jettinghoff (8 counters, 4 boards, 3 assists) at 5:01. There were four lead changes from then on, the last to make it 47-46 on a bomb from the left wing by Jettinghoff (7 markers in the period) with 3:04 left. Neither team could convert until senior Ross Thompson (11 markers, 10 boards) put back his own miss at 1:42 for 49-46. Kalida junior Devin Kortokrax (game-high 19 points) replied with a mid-lane deuce at 1:16 to get his team within 49-48, only to see Thompson answer on a drive at 41 seconds to make it 51-48.

Jefferson senior Ross Thompson battles his way through Kalida defenders Cole Miller and Luke Langhals as sophomore teammate Trey Smith gets in position. (Delphos Herald/Randy Shellenbarger) thats why they regularly send some team to state. We grew up a lot tonight. Kalida mentor Dick Kortokrax could concur with Smith. This week, we had three of our rotation players including Joe, who averages double digits that did not practice due to injuries and two could not go tonight. Were not using that as an excuse; its part of the game, he observed. Where it hurts more is on the offensive end and in the skill level because you dont have that continuity you need to be effective.

Strong defensive effort gives Big Green 5th win of year

By BOB WEBER DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE As the boys basketball season turns to the final half of the regular schedule, the Miller City Wildcats traveled to the L.W. Heckman Gymnasium Friday night to take on the Big Green of Ottoville in their annual Putnam County League game. The Big Green outscored the visiting Wildcats each quarter of play and come away with a 49-39 win. The Wildcats, under the direction of head coach Bryan Kuhlman, started off cold from the field and the Big Green capitalized on the lack of scoring from the Wildcats and came out of the gate to take an 11-7 lead after eight minutes of play. The second quarter saw Big Green junior Brandt Landin notch seven of his 14 points on the evening with aggressive driving layups, often splitting the Wildcats defense and helping his team to stretch their lead. The Wildcats, battling foul trouble, fought back in the final minutes to keep the score close going into halftime. As the teams went to the locker room, the Big Green led 24-18. Big Green head coach Todd Turnwald has often this year saw his team ahead at halftime but unable to finish the effort off to get the win. This night was not the case as the Big Green outscored the Wildcats in each of the final two quarters of play and do just enough from the foul line to preserve the win. The Big Green only placed four players in the scoring column on the evening. Junior Tyler Roby led the home squad with 18 points. Landin completed a great game on both ends of the floor with those 14 points. Junior Austin Honigford and senior Luke Schimmoeller added nine and eight points, respectively. The Wildcats struggled all night from the field and especially from where theyve been recently hot from beyond the arc. Junior Adam Niese led his squad with 15 points on the night and senior Cory Heuerman chipped in nine points. Miller City (7-5, 3-1 PCL) will be back in action tonight as they travel to take on Lima Temple Christian starting with a junior varsity start at 6 oclock. Ottoville (5-9, 3-1 PCL) will host the Liberty-Benton Eagles tonight, also with a 6 oclock start. The JV game went to the Wildcats as they won 27-15.

Stauffer leads Pirates past Musketeer boys

By DAVE BONINSEGNA DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com CONTINENTAL A slow start to a Putnam County League tussle between the Fort Jennings Musketeers and the Continental Pirates at The Pirates Cove of Continental High School turned into an up-and-down contest as the game progressed. In the end, Pirate freshman Wade Stauffer finished off his 20-point effort by connecting on 4-of-4 free throws in the final minute to raise the hosts to a 50-44 victory. Stauffer went 7-of-10 from the line as the hosts went 14-of-19 from there for the game (73.7%). Nick Von Sossan paced the Musketeers with 11 markers and Josh Wittler added 10. The Musketeers turned the ball over on their first four trips down court (7 for the night) before Von Sossan drained a three early to give the guests a 3-2 lead but the Pirates quickly regained the lead and never relinquished it. Still, they had a valiant effort and when Nate German buried a long-range shot at the buzzer at the end of the first period, the Musketeers trailed 10-9 after one. The guests started out a disappointing 1-for-6 from the foul line before draining nine in a row and 13-of-14 in the second half. Austin Mansfield (7 markers) scored two of the first three baskets for the home team in the second canto but the visitors would not go away quietly. The Pirates led by five at one point but Conner Wallenhorst hit one of just three shots from the field for the visitors but it cut the deficit to 17-15 the halftime score with just over two minutes before the break. That, combined with a stingy Orange and Black defense, kept the tally at a 1-possession game. In the second half, Von Sossan nailed the first shot to knot the game at 17-17 but Continental struck back, going on a 6-0 spurt. Nevertheless, the guests kept coming back as Wittler helped rally the Musketeers back to within two 25-23 with 2:21 left in the third. Once again, the Pirates extended the advantage, this time on the shoulders of Jacob Williams, hitting five points in the canto for a 28-23 Continental lead. The persistence of the Musketeers continued and again, Von Sossan put the visitors in a tie game at 29-29 with just five ticks left to go before the final stanza. See MUSKETEERS, page 7

St. Johns zoned out by Rangers Colemans hearing

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The St. Johns basketball team was stuck in limbo Friday night against the New Knoxville Rangers. Possibly, it was the letdown after suffering a tough road loss against Midwest Athletic Conference foe Fort Recovery Tuesday night or the Blue Jays were caught looking forward to playing the number-one ranked Division IV team in the state (Crestview) on the road Saturday. New Knoxville, on the other hand, was coming off a 77-65 victory over Wapakoneta Tuesday night while shooting 54 percent from the field with deadly 3-point shooting. They continued that into Friday nights game at Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium in defeating the Blue Jays 56-46 for their second straight loss. Rangers head coach Kort Fledderjohann said usually we play one half really good and one half really bad. Against the Blue Jays, the Rangers didnt have that problem, playing good in the first half and lights out in the second, shooting 46 percent from the field with seven 3-pointers. The first quarter started slow for both squads after New Knoxville scored the opening bucket. The Blue Jays finally got on the scoreboard with a 3-pointer at 5:31 from senior Eric Clark. Ryan Lageman put the Rangers back in front with a triple of his own. Senior Ryan Koester scored the next seven points for the Jays, starting with a free throw and scoring on an inbounds play. Then junior Tyler Conley found Koester under the bucket for the assist and a pair of free throws to make it a 10-5 lead. The Rangers Shane Topp hit the second 3-pointer of the opening frame and Clark answered with his second triple. New Knoxville finished out the scoring with an old fashioned 3-point play from Andrew Arnett and a putback at the buzzer by Jalen Fullenkamp to knot the score at 13. Another Ranger sharp-shooter got in the books when Issac Kuntz drilled a 3-pointer to open the second quarter and the lead went back to the visitors. Junior Andy Grothouse made a nice pass to Conley under the bucket for the easy layin. After a free throw for the Rangers by Fullenkamp, Evan Hays hit a 10-foot pull-up jumper to tie the game at 17. New Knoxvilles 2-3 zone kept the Blue Jays out of the lane while they still managed to shut down the perimeter shooting outside. I thought their zone caught us offguard a bit tonight, St. Johns Coach Aaron Elwer said. They did a good job shutting down the inside as well as stopAssociated Press

not an NFL obstacle

RENTON, Wash. CenturyLink Field is the loudest around. Derrick Coleman knows it even if he cant hear it. Seattles backup fullback is hearing impaired, which would seem to preclude a pro football career. Yet the second-year player from UCLA has become an integral part of the NFC West champions and will be on the field Sunday when the Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. And when the Seahawks are lined up in the tunnel before being introduced and the crowd is testing the seismograph, Coleman knows exactly whats going on. Coleman I get the same feeling everybody gets, Coleman, who lost his hearing when he was 3 years old, told a group of reporters Thursday. You all walk through the tunnel and everybody cheering is heartwarming, the fans cheering you on. In terms of being loud and able to hear that, I feel it. I dont exactly hear it, I dont get pain like you guys. I know they are all yelling, I can hear everybody talking but it doesnt hurt me as much as anybody else. You have a lot of problems if you cant feel that. It would seem natural to think any deaf player would have problems reaching the NFL but Seahawks coach Pete Carroll doesnt believe its an issue with Coleman. Seattle picked him up as a free agent in December 2012 and he appeared in 12 games this season, mainly as a blocker and special-teamer. And as an inspiration. He does his job impeccably well in all areas and everything that we ask of him, Carroll said. Hes a terrific effort guy. Hes been a fantastic part of the team and its been a really cool story. Not because he has issues, because hes made this team and hes made a spot for himself and hes claimed it. The fact that he has a hearing issue is really not even something that we deal with. Coleman deals with it every second of his life. He recently did a commercial for Duracell batteries that has become a YouTube sensation with, he said, more than 4.5 million hits. The premise of the commercial was the importance of longlasting batteries. Coleman acknowledges he always has an extra pair handy for his hearing aids and even needed to change them out in last weeks victory over New Orleans. But to the 23-year-old from Los Angeles, the ad was about much more. Its spreading awareness not just for the hearing-impaired but for everybody, Coleman said. Everybody has problems, but we can still do what we want to do. Ive been doing this since I was in college. Like I always tell everybody, there might be 100 people in the room but if one walks away knowing, I can still chase the dream, that is all I care about. Its heartwarming. In so many ways, Colemans story is exactly that, too. As a kid, he was a strong, fast athlete but often was chosen last in pickup games because of the hearing aids. He also was picked on because of his deafness. But hes never allowed it to be a handicap, as his place in the NFL confirms. Any opportunity I get, I always cherish it, Coleman said. You only get so many opportunities in a lifetime. This is one I definitely didnt want to squander or pass up. And there are some advantages to being hearing-impaired. Carroll believes in home games, when CenturyLink is rocking he might be the very best one to get the call from Russell (Wilson). When Coleman was in high school, his coaches even tried to use his lip-reading skills he doesnt use sign language to steal an opponents signals. Coleman laughs when he relays that story, saying that playcallers cover their mouths because of people like him. It is hard 50 yards across the field, he added with a chuckle. Id done it once for having fun, freshman year in high school. Coach said, What are they about to run? I said, outside, and he changed the whole defense and we stopped them. I tried do it again and it didnt work.

St. Johns senior Eric Clark battles for a loose ball with two New Knoxville players with two Blue Jay teammates also in the fray Friday night at Arnzen Gym. (Delphos Herald/Randy Shellenbarger) ping our outside shots. Clark scored eight points in the first half but the Jays trailed 26-22 at the break. The Rangers offense stuck to its game plan in the second half with good penetration in the paint against the Blue Jay defense and good passing to the outside if no interior shot was available. Much like the Jays game at Fort Recovery, the third quarter didnt go well for the home team as they were outscored 17-10 and fell behind as much as 12 points. St. Johns battled back in the fourth quarter when Grothouse started to find his range. His second triple of the quarter brought the Jays within five at 45-40 when New Knoxville didnt score for almost five minutes. The Jays couldnt take advantage and faltered down the stretch in their 10-point home loss. Elwer thought a combination of things led to the Jays defeat New Knoxville played with energy and quickness tonight and beat us to the ball, he explained. We talked about not suffering a letdown in practice Wednesday after a loss on the road the night before and we just didnt come to play tonight. The Blue Jays scoring was well-balanced with Grothouses 12 points and Koester with a dozen as well. Clark was right behind, totaling 11 points. New Knoxville goes above the .500 mark with a 7-6 record and was led in scoring by Fullenkamps 20-point outburst. St. Johns outrebounded the Rangers 25-21. The next action for the 7-3 Blue Jays will be against the top-ranked team in the Associated Press poll, the undefeated Crestview Knights, this evening. This will be part of a mega-game with the junior varsity girls playing at 3 p.m., followed by the JV boys at 4:30. Then the varsity girls take the stage about 6 with the boys varsity tip-off at 7:30. The nights JV game went to overtime, with the junior Jays playing one of their better games of the year before falling 41-39. Gage Seffernick led the scoring with a pair of 3-pointer and 12 points.

Patriots, Broncos overcame plenty of obstacles

Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Embarrassing headlines. Sidelined superstars. Retooled offenses. Shredded defenses. Its a wonder the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos made it this far. Bill Belichicks smarts and Tom Bradys tenacity always seems to trump tribulation. This season, they brushed aside the Tim Tebow distraction and overcame Aaron Hernandezs arrest and the losses of Rob Gronkowski, Wes Welker, Vince Wilfork and Jerod Mayo to put the Patriots (13-4) into the AFC championship for the third straight year. Im sure every team is probably at this point overcome a lot, Brady said. I know Denver has done a lot of those things, too. Theyve overcome a lot of things and injuries and so forth. Its just part of the NFL football season. To get out there and play 16 weeks and really see where you stand at the end of those 16 weeks, getting to the playoffs, play the best teams and see if you can advance. Its certainly not easy to do. Its very challenging. Nobody does it better than Brady and Belichick, the best quarterback/coach combo in history with a record 18 playoff wins. After last years stumble against Baltimore in the playoffs, John Fox and Peyton Manning also steered the Broncos (14-3) through a minefield to send Denver to its first conference championship in eight years. That shock of what happened against the Ravens contributed to this team being able to be as flexible as it has been and survive the adversity that its gone through, said Hallof-Fame quarterback John Elway, who led the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowls in

Cats

the late 1990s and now leads them from the front office instead of the huddle. After losing Elvis Dumervil in the infamous fax fiasco when his renegotiated contract didnt reach team headquarters in time, Elway hit the jackpot in free agency by signing Welker and Louis Vasquez on offense and Shaun Phillips, Terrance Knighton and Dominique RodgersCromartie on defense. They helped the Broncos weather an injury epidemic that claimed Von Miller, Kevin Vickerson, Rahim Moore, Derek Wolfe and Chris Harris while rendering captains Champ Bailey and Wesley Woodyard backups for most of the season.

Musketeers
(Continued from page 6) In the final period, the tug-of-war continued with the Pirates not giving way and the Musketeers not letting go. A Wittler deuce made it 37-36, Pirates. Again, the hosts pulled away and as if it were a broken record, Fort Jennings came back again but just couldnt get over the hump. Von Sossan made it a 1-point game for the fifth time in the half at 45-44 with 40 seconds left,but the Stauffer charity shots spelled the end for the Musketeers comeback efforts. Jennings hosts McComb

tonight.

(Continued from page 6)

With 6.0 seconds to go, sophomore Trent Gerding seeing his first serious varsity action of the season sank two free throws to make it a 1-point game. The Maroon and White fouled Jefferson sophomore Trey Smith (8 points, 7 caroms) for a 1-and-1 with 4.0 ticks showing. He missed the front end, Gerding rebounded and called a halt with no time coming off the clock to the Red and Whites consternation. However, Kalida had to go the length of the floor and Kortokraxs 50-footer was way short as time expired. The first stanza saw three exchanges of the lead early as both teams employed manto-man defenses that they rarely strayed from: the Jeffcats concentrating on Kalidas duo of Kortokrax and senior Randy Zeller (11 counters 3 treys 7 boards), Kalida emphasizing containing Smith, Thompson and Jettinghoff. Zeller netted a pair of rainbows including the one that accounted for the games biggest lead of 10-5 at the 2:10 mark and Thompson two deuces, including the foul-line jumper at 1:05 that got the hosts within 12-10. After Smith buried two free throws to open the second period at 7:16, a Zeller bomb at 6:15 gave Kalida a lead. There were two lead changes and Kortokrax (10 points in the stanza) nailed a trifecta at 2:10, giving the visitors their last lead of the half 25-21. Senior Tyler Rice (9 markers, all on triples) popped off the bench to bury his first trey at 1:48, starting an 8-0 closing splurge. When Smith (6 second-quarter counters) sank two singles at 42 ticks, Jefferson led 29-25. Kalida dropped in the first six points of period 3 to retake the lead on two Kortokrax free shots at 5:25. That only started the trend

of lead changes once more, with five more in this frame, the last a Rice (2 treys in the stanza) bomb at 3:23 that put the hosts up 38-36. The only other points in the canto came at the 38-second mark when Smith scored inside in transition for a 40-36 advantage. Kalida finished up with 23 rebounds (7 offensive) as Gerding added four; and 16 fouls. Senior Adam Langhals had four dimes. Jefferson snapped up 29 boards (12 offensive) and added 12 fouls. Freshman Jace Stockwell had a solid all-around game with 10 markers (2 treys), eight assists and five boards. Kalida has used the same successful defensive concept for years: make your third and fourth options beat you. We knew Ross and Trey would get a lot of attention because they are good players, Coach Smith added. What I saw that will help us was Jace stepping up and hitting some big shots and our bench, especially Tyler (Rice), giving us key minutes. We have had confidence in these guys all year and now they can see it too. We are hoping that their confidence continues to grow and that will only make us better. Again, this was a great team effort. To beat Kalida, youd better be able to defend the post, rebound and play with mental toughness; we did all three. Coach Kortokrax credited Jefferson for those other sources. We did a great team defensive job on their big three: they average about 50 (47) points a game. Even Stockwell, in recent games, has started to score more, he added. In the five games I scouted of Jefferson, I did not see (Rice) score a point. Give him credit for making us pay for leaving him open. That is the mark of a good team; getting others who arent usually the stars to make plays when

they are needed. Our effort was great all night; hand it to Delphos and Coach Smith for winning a tough game. In junior varsity action, Kalida, behind 13 points each by Drew Hovest (3 treys) and Brandon Verhoff and 12 from Trevor Maag, bested Delphos 68-43. Jefferson (8-5) without Grant Wallace received 18 from Josh Teman (3 triples) and 17 by Ryan Goergens (5 bombs). Both units return to action tonight: Jefferson at Pandora-Gilboa and Kalida at home versus Columbus Grove.

Denver - Manning-Brady Bowl Part 15. Although New England QB Tom Brady owns a 3-1 edge in playoff wins over Peyton Manning, I will go with the Broncos. In their earlier game this season Manning owned the first half and Brady the second as The Patriots rallied for a win. That game was in New England and this one in Denver where the Broncos get the advantage of being in the thinner air all the time. Manning will have another big day and the patchwork Denver defense should be able to do just enough to help him return to the championship game. JAKE BOWERS SEATTLE: Seattle has beat San Francisco easily the last two years in Seattle and are almost unbeatable at home. Seattle wins 30-21. DENVER: Denver seems to be on a mission and New England is lucky to have made it this far. The Browns almost beat them this year at New England. Take Denver to make The Super Bowl 34-23. LARRY HEIING New England: Throw out all the stats, regular season records and details from all the know-it-alls on ESPN. This game comes down to two of the most intelligent quarterbacks ever to play the game. After the Broncos early exit from the playoffs last year, Peyton Manning has been on mission to get back to the Super Bowl and responded with one of the greatest seasons ever. Tom Brady has had more success in the postseason than any other quarterback. Throw in the fact that New England has Mr. Excitement, Bill Belichick, as a head coach (EN: I didnt know I had so many comedians on this panel!)) that seems to win the big game. (Why couldnt he do this when he coached the Browns? EN: Have not been watching the Browns lately??). I am rooting for Peyton to return to the Super Bowl one last time but Brady and Belichick will team up to win this game for the Patriots. San Fran vs Seattle: In San Franciscos last 17 road games, they have a record of 13-2, but 0-2 at Seattle. Plus, San Fran is trying to be the first team in NFL history to win 4 straight road games to make it to the Super Bowl. On their last trip to Seattle, the Niners played their worst game of the season in the worlds loudest outdoor stadium. Colin Kaepernick isnt even in the same league as Brady or Manning but has the toughness to win in the clutch. But the Seattle fans will be fired up and louder than ever with a chance for their team to make the Super Bowl and distract Kaepernick out of the offensive scheme. It will be the Seahawks in the Super Bowl against the Patriots. Bring on the commercials! (EN: Absolutely!!).

Shoppers fret about authenticity of Target emails

NEW YORK (AP) An email sent to the roughly 70 million Target customers who may have been affected by a pre-Christmas data breach is causing panic among those who fear it could be an attempt to victimize them again. Target says the email, which offers free credit monitoring services to potential victims of the breach, is legitimate. But the company has identified a handful of scammers who are trying to take advantage of the publics fear and confusion. Shawn Blakeman, 42, of Raleigh, N.C., received Targets email, but he didnt click on the link it contained just in case it was some kind of a website that I couldnt get out of or had a hidden virus, he says. Consumers have been on edge since news of the data breach broke last month. And theyve been warned to be on alert for possible follow-up attacks that could come in the form of phishing emails, electronic messages designed to implant malicious software on their computers or draw them to websites that prompt them to enter personal information.
