DELPHOS Delphos resident Lou

Hohman is humble, has an impeccable work
ethic and is driven to breathe life into new
and ongoing projects within the city. These
are the very attributes that garnered him
a winner of the 2015 Jefferson Award for
Volunteerism and a $350 prize which he
donated to the Delphos Canal Commission
Museum.
Its good to be recognized, Hohman
said. I want to see the museum progress;
its our mission to display and preserve artifacts of the Tri-County area.
Canal Commission Volunteer Diana
Ireland said she met Hohman in 2007 when
she began volunteering at the museum and
noticed he was always there and working on
some project.
Lou is extraordinary. He is there for
everybody all the time. There seems to be
no stopping him, she said. That is why I
nominated him.
Ireland epitomized Hohmans perseverance with this quote from Albert Schweitzer:
One thing I know: the only ones among you
who will be really happy are those who will
have sought and found how to serve.
Hohman admits hes always on the go
and on average, volunteers more than 125
hours per month to a multitude of well-de-

ELIDA Steve Montgomery, 2014 local

Jefferson Award winner, has dedicated his
life to helping veterans. Montgomery served
during the Vietnam War performing his own
duties and volunteered with a helicopter
crew as a door gunner during missions. He
received a medical discharge, came home a
disabled veteran and has dedicated himself to
helping fellow veterans receive the benefits
they deserve.
I really got a taste of how hard it is
for some veterans to ask for what they
have earned when I started working at the
Community-Based Outpatient Clinic on
Bellefontaine Avenue in Lima. I was the
clerk and then another clerk quit and I
picked up their duties and then another clerk
quit and I was doing all by myself. It was
important to have everything in order for
the veterans so their visits are as pleasant as
possible, Montgomery recalled. Theres a
whole lot of paperwork and scheduling that
goes into making things go smoothly.
Montgomery said many veterans wont
ask for help because they signed up for the
service, did their jobs, came home and dont
really think they did anything special.
So many veterans dont want to ask for help
because of the nature of why they are veterans,
Montgomery said. They joined because they

serving programs and projects. Currently,

he is the vice president of the Miami-Erie
Canal Corridor Association (MECCA) and
has been involved with the group for 14
years.
Right now we are looking for the funding to begin a three-phase plan of implementing a towpath (walking/bike path) on
the west side of the canal spanning the
entire length of the city, Hohman said. The
project is a combined effort of MECCA, the
Canal Commission, Activate Allen County
and the state.

felt the need and they dont want to ask for anything back. I help them get the benefits theyve
earned and have a right to claim.
Montgomery found out what a difference
this can make first-hand.
My father served during World War II.
He was a conscientious objector and was a
baker assigned to General Pattons army,
the 68-year-old said. He baked bread across
Africa and suffered from kidney stones three
times because of exposure to chemical warfare. He never thought to check into any
benefits he may have had coming.

Good Friday
service set
The Delphos Ministerial
Association will offer its Good
Friday service at noon Friday
at Trinity United Methodist
Church.
The theme will be The
Parable of the Landowner and
the tenants.
The association has seen
good participation in the
Lenten Luncheons this year,
held six Thursdays prior to
Holy Week.
Turnout for the luncheons
has been very good as long
as the weather was good,
Pastor Linda Wannemacher
said. I think we get a few
more people each year, so we
are reaching out and bringing
people together to observe the
Lenten Season.
Special music will be provided by Jaye Wannemacher
and the Rev. David Howell
with liturgical dance and flags
by Deb Tenewalde and Pastor
Wannemacher.
Kathy Stewart and Judith
Tolhurst will present Art in
Motion during the prelude.
Scripture

DELPHOS The stars came out Sunday evening during the annual FFA Parent & Member Banquet.
More than 100 FFA members were able to
strut their stuff as their accomplishments from
the past year were brought to light and shared.
I have 102 kids and sometimes its crazy and you
never think youre going to get everything done,
Advisor Scott Elwer said Sunday. These are good
kids who are dedicated to the program and I think
sometimes they work harder than I do or maybe even
you do. Some of them are up before school taking care
of projects and then they have a full day of classes, go
home and take care of their projects again, attend an
evening meeting or activities and get home around 9

an invitation. Whether they

GOOD FRIDAY

Wed., April 1...7:30 p.m.

Fri., April 3...1:30 & 7:30 p.m.

Come to this unforgettable Evening Prayer. Twelve

candles will be extinguished, representing the apostles
abandoning Our Lord. At the end of the psalms, songs and
readings, you will hear the Strepitus. The sound reverberates like the earthquake at the tomb of Jesus.

Thur., April 2 ... 7:30 p.m.

This is the only day of the year when a Mass is not

permitted. Services at 1:30 and 7:30 include the Passion
of St. John, collection for the Holy Land, Veneration of
the Cross and Holy Communion. In commemoration
of the three hours Jesus hung on the cross we begin
with Stations of the Cross at 12 Noon presented by the
5th grade. High School students will present song and
reflection on the Passion after that. At 1:30 the priest and
assembly will begin the traditional service in silence. The
readings of prophecy and reflection of Christs sufferings
will bring us to the account of the Passion as St. John
writes it. We are invited: Could you not watch with me?

This liturgy begins the Sacred Three Days. These three

days have three services that are really one liturgy in
three parts. The introductory rites begin the Mass on Holy
Thursday. The service ends at the Easter Vigil. While
Holy Thursday celebrates the institution of the Eucharist,
it also reminds us that we must do some service to live
the Gospel. Our reminder is the ritual of foot washing.
At the end of Mass the altar is stripped and the Blessed
Sacrament is presented for adoration. The church will be
open until 10 PM.

LET US CELEBRATE OUR GREAT TESTIMONY

TO THE RISEN CHRIST AND THE BAPTISM AND
PROFESSION OF FAITH OF THOSE ENTERING OUR
CHURCH. THEY ARE THE NEWEST DISCIPLES OF
CHRIST RISING FROM THE DEAD. WE JOIN THEM
IN BEING BORN AGAIN INTO THIS EASTER SEASON.
COME JOYFULLY TO THE FEAST.

Though he suffers greatly, Jesus will rise again.

HOLY THURSDAY

EASTER VIGIL
Sat., April 4...8:00 p.m.

EASTER MASS

Sun., April 5...7:30, 9:15 and 11:30 a.m.

When you come to Mass this Sunday you will be renewing YOUR baptismal promises,
your love for Jesus Christ, so that you will be united with those baptized Saturday Night.
Enter in to the Resurrection of Jesus, his triumph over death and his love and mercy for all of us.

DUPONT A man died after a one-vehicle crash on

Friday night.
The Putnam County Sheriffs Department received a call
at approxiamately 8:02 a.m. Saturday from a passerby who
observed a vehicle submerged in the Auglaize River on the
east side of State Route 634 just north of State Route 114.
The vehicle was extracted from the Auglaize River and the
Kalida Fire Department had to use the jaws of life to remove
the driver from the wreckage. Brett Varner, 34, of Ottawa was
pronounced dead at the scene by the Putnam County coroner.
The Lima Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating the crash and believe Varner, driving a black 1999
Pontiac Grand Prix, was southbound on State Route 634 traveling at an unsafe speed. As he rounded a curve, he failed to

maintain control of his vehicle and slid off the left side of the
roadway, striking a small ditch embankment. The Patrol then
believe the vehicle went airborne and landed in a dirt field.
Still traveling southbound and down a small hill, Varners
vehicle then went airborne again for approximately 120 feet
before he vaulted over the Auglaize River and struck the
embankment on the south side of the river.
His vehicle then became submerged in the river where it
came to rest.
Varner was not wearing a properly adjusted seatbelt and
alcohol is considered a factor in the crash.
The crash investigation has led troopers to believe the crash
occurred at approximately 11:42 p.m. Friday.
The Patrol was assisted on scene by the Putnam County
Sheriffs Department, Kalida Fire and EMS and Meyers
Towing.

AKRON (AP) The stars of a charity calendar are in
their 80s and 90s, but that didnt stop the men and women
from an assisted living facility in Ohio from showing a little
skin.
Miss March, whos 88, wears a green top hat and not
much else in the calendar from Pleasant Pointe Assisted
Living, and the centerfolds are two women in their 90s who
seem to be playing poker with strategically placed oversize
cards.
Flip to February and youll see a smiling, white-haired
Dottie Rutter soaking in a bubble bath and flower petals,
with chocolates and lingerie nearby.
At 87, shes the same age as the youngest of three models standing in the cover photo, where their bare feet and
shoulders peek out from behind a banner they hold advertising the Barberton facility and the affiliated Pleasant View
Health Care Center.
It reads: Pleasant View, Pleasant Pointe.
Another resident in the calendar is covered only by a
large exercise ball.
Administrator Teresa Morris told The Akron Beacon
Journal (http://bit.ly/1x0K3x3) that the residents were clearly having fun the morning the photos were taken.
The residents were like 20-year-olds giggling, and
having the time of their lives, Morris said. I do not believe
the elderly should just sit around staring at each other. I
want a fun environment where I challenge them and they
challenge me.
Money from the $12 calendars goes toward a fund providing shoes for children in the local schools in the city of
Barberton.

COLUMBUS (AP)
An Ohio Supreme Court ruling could change how environmental regulators impose
pollution limits on bodies of
water around the state.
The court this past week
said the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency cant
impose pollution limits
affecting waterways without first following state
rulemaking policies that
require public notice, com-

Man dies in one-vehicle crash

ment and hearings.

The ruling stems from
an issue involving pollution
limits on a wastewater treatment plant in central Ohio.
Commissioners
in
Fairfield County said they
were denied the right to
challenge the EPAs stricter limits on the plant that
discharges treated water
into Blacklick Creek near
Pickerington, The Columbus
Dispatch reported.

Today is Monday, March 30, the 89th day of 2015. There

are 276 days left in the year.
Todays Highlight in History:
On March 30, 1945, during World War II, the Soviet Union
invaded Austria with the goal of taking Vienna, which it
accomplished two weeks later.
On this date:
In 1135, the Jewish philosopher Maimonides was born in
Cordoba in present-day Spain.
In 1822, Florida became a United States territory.
In 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward
reached agreement with Russia to purchase the territory of
Alaska for $7.2 million.
In 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,
which prohibited denying citizens the right to vote and hold
office on the basis of race, was declared in effect by Secretary
of State Hamilton Fish. Texas was readmitted to the Union.
In 1909, the Queensboro Bridge, linking the New York City
boroughs of Manhattan and Queens, opened.
In 1923, the Cunard liner RMS Laconia became the first
passenger ship to circle the globe as it arrived in New York.
In 1955, On the Waterfront won the Academy Award for best
picture of 1954, while its star, Marlon Brando won best actor; in
what was regarded as an upset, Grace Kelly won best actress for
The Country Girl, beating out Judy Garland for A Star Is Born.

Deadline to sign up
for fish hatchery
drawing near
COLUMBUS (AP)
Anglers wanting to fish
at a state fish hatchery in
northwestern Ohio this
year only have a few days
to sign up for the permit
drawing.
The Ohio Department
of Natural Resources will
offer controlled fishing at
the Castalia Fish Hatchery
in Erie County from May
4-Nov. 30.
The state says a halfmile section of Cold Creek
is open for select dates to a
limited number of anglers.
State officials say trout
stocked in Cold Creek
measure between 10-12
inches and most are rainbow trout. Brown trout are
also available. A random
drawing for permits will be
held in April.
Anglers
only
have
through Tuesday to sign
up for the drawing. They
must apply online and pay
a non-refundable $3 application fee to be eligible for
the drawing.

In 1959, a narrowly divided U.S. Supreme Court, in

Bartkus v. Illinois, ruled that a conviction in state court following an acquittal in federal court for the same crime did not
constitute double jeopardy.
In 1964, John Glenn withdrew from the Ohio race for the
U.S. Senate because of injuries suffered in a fall. The original
version of the TV game show Jeopardy!, hosted by Art
Fleming, premiered on NBC.
In 1975, as the Vietnam War neared its end, Communist
forces occupied the city of Da Nang. James Ruppert, 41, killed
11 members of his family at his mothers home in Hamilton,
Ohio, on Easter Sunday.
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot and seriously
wounded outside a Washington D.C. hotel by assailant John
W. Hinckley Jr.
In 2002, Britains Queen Mother Elizabeth died at Royal
Lodge, Windsor, outside London; she was 101 years old.
Ten years ago: Under heavy protection, U.S. first lady
Laura Bush visited the capital of Afghanistan, where
she talked with Afghan women freed from Taliban
repression and urged greater rights. The Supreme Court
ruled that federal law allowed people 40 and over to file
age bias claims over salary and hiring even if employers never intended any harm. Fred Korematsu, whod
challenged the World War II internment policy that
sent Japanese-Americans to detention camps, died in
Larkspur, California, at age 86.

DreamWorks Home bests Get

Hard at box office with $54M

Engagement

Warnecke/Gillespie
Joseph and Sherry Warnecke of Delphos
announce the engagement of their daughter, Whitney Christine, to Curtiss Scot
Gillespie, son of Douglas and Dana Gillespie
of Ashland.
The couple will exchange vows on May 2
at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church,
Delphos.
The bride-elect is a graduate of St. Johns
High School and Ohio State Beauty Academy.
She is employed at Advance Health and
Wellness Center, Wadsworth.
Her fiance is a graduate of Ashland High
School and North Central State, earning a
criminal justice degree. He is employed with
the Doylestown Police Department and the
United States Marine Corps Reserves.

NEW YORK (AP) Business

was brisk at the weekend box-office, where the DreamWorks animated
alien adventure Home beat out the
Will Ferrell-Kevin Hart comedy Get
Hard with a resounding debut of $54
million, according to studio estimates
Sunday.
While the two films had been expected to vie for the top spot at North
American theaters, Home came
in well above expectations, handing
DreamWorks Animation a much-needed hit. Though a distant second, Get
Hard also opened strongly with an
estimated $34.6 million, rewarding the
Warner Bros. pairing of two of the most
bankable stars in comedy.
Last weeks top film, the youngadult sequel The Divergent Series:
Insurgent, slid to third with $22.1
million.
With a $100 million-plus debut
expected next weekend for Furious
7 a franchise built on street-racing adrenaline and a diverse cast
Hollywood scored with two films that
sought a variety of audiences.
Get Hard united the fans of Hart
and Ferrell, albeit while finding some
criticism for its racial humor. And
Home is the rare animated film led
by an African-American girl protagonist
(voiced by Rihanna). She plays a teenage girl left alone after an alien invasion
of Earth. Jim Parsons, Jennifer Lopez
and Steve Martin round out the cast.
Its a diverse cast and we drew
a diverse audience, which I think is
really special and something you dont
see in animated films, said Chris
Aronson, domestic distribution head for
20th Century Fox, the films distributor. That just ends up broadening the
appeal of the film.
Minorities made up more than half
of the audience for Home, according
to Fox. The strong performance of an
original release, based on a childrens
book by Adam Rex, provides Jeffrey

Katzenbergs DreamWorks with a welcome lift. After a series of box-office

disappointments, the studio cut about
500 jobs earlier this year.
Aronson called the success of
Home indicative of the direction,
quality-wise, that DreamWorks is going
to get back to. One of the films producers, Mireille Soria, was in January
named co-president of DreamWorks
Animation, along with How to Train
Your Dragon producer Bonnie Arnold.
Despite the lure of March Madness
on TV screens, Home (which capitalized on the relative dearth of family-friendly options) and Get Hard
drove moviegoers to theaters. Overall,
the box office was up about 8 percent
from last year, according to box-office
data firm Rentrak.
Get Hard had been dogged by
controversy, as some questioned the
tastefulness of humor that critics called
homophobic and racist. The directorial
debut of Etan Cohen, it stars Ferrell as
a hedge fund manager sentenced to a
maximum security prison for fraud. To
prepare for life in prison, he turns to the
only black person in his orbit, a family
man played by Hart.
When Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart
get together, you hope to have some
criticism, said Dan Fellman, head of
domestic distribution for Warner Bros.
He added that its the biggest R-rated
opening for both Hart and Ferrell.
The wild card of the weekend was It
Follows, a critically acclaimed indie
horror film from Radius, the Weinstein
Company label. After the film drew
packed theaters in limited release,
plans for a subsequent video-on-demand release were postponed and It
Follows expanded to 1,218 theaters
over the weekend. It pulled in $4 million over the weekend.
Its an interesting test case, said
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak, who applauded Radius
for having the confidence in a small,

very low budget movie. Its rare for

a horror film to enjoy those kind of
reviews. Ordinarily, you dont see a
platform building of theaters for a horror movie. Usually, you see them drop
like a rock in the second week.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday
through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian
theaters, according to Rentrak. Where
available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also
included. Final domestic figures will be
released today.

Halloween park in Middletown

now home to studio for film, TV
MIDDLETOWN (AP) A Halloween
attraction in southwestern Ohio has been
turned into a studio for film, television and
video production.
The new Land of Illusion Studios and
Backlot is now in business on the grounds of
the Land of Illusion Haunted Scream Park outside Middletown, the Hamilton-Middletown
Journal-News reports.
Park owner Brett Oakley says the
Halloween attraction runs only for a short
time each year. Opening the 110-acre venue in
the offseason to film crews is a way to grow
business at the property and bring new jobs
and investment to the community, Oakley
said.
We sit between New York and Beverly
Hills and were in a perfect spot for a lot of
movies, and a lot of film artists, film producers to really save some money come here and
facilitate them, Oakley said.
He said the Land of Illusion Studios
& Backlot business is working with the
FilmDayton and Greater Cincinnati and
Northern Kentucky Film Commission to pro-

mote the locations availability.

Los Angeles-based Petri Entertainment
started filming an independent horror movie
at the Halloween attraction this week, said
company President Andy Palmer.
The cast of The Funhouse Massacre
includes actors Clint Howard and Robert
Englund, who played the fictional serial killer
Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm
Street film series, said Palmer, who is directing the movie.
Palmer said he was attracted to Ohio
because the script was written by Ohio natives
and set in their home state.
Mark Hecquet, executive director of the
Butler County Visitors Bureau, said a movie
production brings crew members to work on
location and hires local extras and other suppliers who stay in the community for weeks,
spending money on lodging and dining.
The movie industry brings a huge economic impact to the community, he said.
Ohio offers incentives that pay up to 25
percent of a films production costs and wages
and up to 35 percent for Ohio resident wages.

Timberlake offers positive words

at iHeartRadio Music Awards
Associated Press
Mr. SexyBack said he
wasnt always one of the cool
kids.
Justin Timberlake said
at the iHeartRadio Music
Awards that he was called
weird as a teenager, and
offered encouraging words to
children experiencing teasing and bullying. Timberlake
earned the 2015 iHeartRadio Innovator Award for his
accomplishments as an entertainer.
Growing up in school,
no one ever called me anything close to an innovator,
they called me different, they
called me weird, they called
me a couple of other words

I cant say on TV, he told

the audience Sunday at the
Shrine Auditorium in Los
Angeles. So thankfully my
mother taught me that being
different was a good thing,
that being different meant
you could actually make a
difference, so tonight I want
to thank my mom.
Timberlake, who recently
had his first child with Jessica
Biel, also thanked his wife,
who didnt attend the awards
show.
Finally, I want to thank
my best friend, my favorite collaborator, my wife
Jessica, he said. Honey, I
cant wait to see our greatest
creation yet.
Timberlake was just one

of the big stars at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, which

also included Taylor Swift,
Madonna and Snoop Dogg.
Rihanna performed her
new single, B Better
Have My Money, for the
first time. The b-word wasnt
bleeped throughout the performance, where Rihanna
sported a bright green mink
with matching knee high
boots and sunglasses.
Swift was an early winner,
appropriately taking home
the award for best lyrics for
her hit song, Blank Space.
This is amazing because
writing lyrics is my favorite
part of this job, Swift said
about her song about the media
portrayal of her relationships.

Theresa Burnett escorts her father-in-law, Joe Burnett,

into the dining hall for the St. Patricks Day Party, where
there was a choice of green punch or green beer.

Soon this column, This &

That, will have the changing
of the guard. I have moved
into the Vancrest Assisted
Living Apartments and like
it very much. Everything is
wonderful except that I miss
my old cable. My cable had
a very good weather channel
but this unnamed carrier has
a lousy weather station..it
just stays on Ohio and repeats
everything over and over. Ive
heard that if you have a new
digital TV, you can get the
good weather channel but my
TV is one of the older ones. I
guess Ill have to go down to
the lobby if I want to watch
that channel. They do have
a good channel that carries
Hogans Heroes, Gunsmoke
and Bonanza.
As for my new home, I
would highly recommend
these Vancrest Apartments to
anyone who is even thinking
about it. The only thing they
dont have is a swimming pool.
My daughter put my name
on the list a few years back
when there were at least 30
on the waiting list. My name
for a two bedroom apartment
came up in early February and
here I am.
My children, their spouses and some grandchildren all
helped me move my furniture in on Saturday, Feb. 28.
I was able to bodily move in
on Sunday. Since my bed was
already here, I needed a place
to sleep so I spent the night at
my sisters home and arrived
here at my new home during
the Sunday snow storm. I felt

really at home that very evening, while I sat and watched

Downton Abbey on WBGUTV.
My second-floor, two-bedroom apartment even has a
balcony. Soon the spring
weather will arrive so I can sit
out there and enjoy the fresh
air. My great-grandchildren
will really love this balcony.
We just have to watch that
they dont fall overboard. The
railing is pretty high. I plan on
having a container garden on
my balcony. Ill have plants
for mostly shade. I hope there
is enough morning sun for
the tomato plants to produce.
My favorite tomato plant is
Sun Sugar. My friend, Rita
Knott, grows several plants on
her third-floor balcony. She
said begonias do very well in
this part-shade area. They are
beautiful and come in several
colors.
The second bedroom of my
home is my den or office
with my U-shaped computer
desk so I can do my scrapbooking, genealogy and writing. I have all my hobby paraphernalia here with me in
the den. First, I have to sort
and organize my thousands of
photographs so I can create
the scrapbook photo albums
for my kids and grandchildren.
Oh! What fun it is!
This is a wonderful place to
live. Everyone on the staff is so
friendly and helpful. They treat
us all like kings and queens
and everyone know everybodys name. Even the maintenance men work with smiles

Duke back in Final Four after

66-52 win over Gonzaga
By STEPHEN HAWKINS
Associated Press
HOUSTON A special group of freshmen is taking
Duke and Coach K back to the NCAA Final Four.
The Blue Devils and their trio of freshmen starters are
going to their 16th Final Four after a 66-52 win Sunday in
the South Regional over Gonzaga.
Justise Winslow, the freshman playing home in Houston,
had 16 points, including a big 3-pointer in the closing minutes. Matt Jones had also had 16 points while freshman Tyus
Jones had 15 points, while Jahlil Okafor nine points and
eight rebounds.
Duke (33-4), the regions No. 1 seed, is going to
Indianapolis to play Michigan State in the Final Four. The
other national semifinal game Saturday matches undefeated
Kentucky and Wisconsin.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski is going to the Final Four for
the 12th time, matching UCLAs John Wooden for the most
by a head coach.
Dukes last Final Four and national title was in 2010,
when the Blue Devils were also the No. 1 seed in the South
Regional and had to go through Houston.
This is a magical moment for us but we played a magical
team in Gonzaga, Krzyzewski told the crowd.
No. 2 seed Gonzaga (35-3) had taken a 38-34 lead less
than 4 minutes into the second half, putting the Blue Devils
in their largest deficit of this tournament.
The young Blue Devils responded with nine straight
points and never trailed again. They had stretched it to 60-51
when Winslow made a 3-pointer from the left wing with
2:28 left.
I want to thank Houston for giving Justise a huge birthday present, Krzyzewski said of the forward who turned
19 on Thursday, the day before he had 21 points and 10
rebounds in a 63-57 win over Utah.
Gonzaga, in its 17th consecutive NCAA Tournament, was
trying to get to the Final Four for the first time.
This was only Gonzagas second regional final its first
since 1999 when the mid-major Bulldogs were a No.
10 seed that lost to top-seeded UConn. Mark Few was an
assistant coach on that squad and took over as head coach
the following season.
The Zags, a No. 1 seed only two years ago before losing
to Wichita State in their second NCAA game, missed out
again.
It was the final game for seniors Kevin Pangos and
Gary Bell Jr., who had both played at least 135 games for
Gonzaga. They were a combined 4-of-14 shooting for nine
points.
Kyle Wiltjer, the transfer from Kentucky who as a freshman was part of the Wildcats 2012 national championship,
had 16 points for Gonzaga. Byron Wesley had 10.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Travis Trice

vowed a day earlier that he wasnt
going to cry should the Michigan State
Spartans continue their improbable run
to the Final Four.
The senior guards vow lasted no
more than 10 seconds once the final horn
sounded following Michigan States
76-70 overtime victory over Louisville
in a thrilling NCAA Tournament East
Regional final Sunday.
Amid the frenzied celebration, Trice
squatted down at center court and began
to sob uncontrollably.
I was actually trying to hold it in,
Trice said. I try to keep it even-keeled.
Im mad that I even cried now.
Thats when senior forward Branden
Dawson interjected by saying that was
the first time hes ever seen Trice cry.
Counted out for done as recently
as six weeks ago, the seventh-seeded Spartans (27-11) let it all out in a
thrilling display of perseverance and
defensive grit to oust the fourth-seeded
Cardinals (27-9).
Id like to tell you that I thought five
different times this year that we were
good enough to get to a Final Four, but
Id be lying to you, said coach Tom
Izzo, who described this as the best of
seven regional final victories he has
enjoyed. But I think the burning desire
to be in this Final Four and they didnt
want to be a group that didnt make it.
I think it was more of the battle cry all
year long.
Trice led the Spartans with 17 points.
Dawson had 11 rebounds, including a
key putback of Bryn Forbes missed
3-point shot with 31.7 seconds left in

overtime. And Denzel Valentine scored

15 points for a Michigan State team that
won for the 12th time in 15 games. Its a
run that included them knocking off second-seeded Virginia last weekend and
third-seeded Oklahoma in the regional
semifinal on Friday.
Michigan State will face Duke,
which beat Gonzaga 66-52 in the
South Regional final, on Saturday in
Indianapolis.
Wayne Blackshear had 28 points for
the Cardinals (27-9) in a game that
featured 11 lead changes.
There could have been a 12th
with 4.9 seconds left in regulation,
when Cardinals forward Mangok
Mathiang hit his first free throw to
tie the game on a shot that hit off
the heel of the rim and bounced
high and in. But he wasnt so fortunate
on his second one, which also hit the
heel and bounced wide left.
Sometimes it can be a cruel game.
I was positive we were going to win
it when the first free throw went in
because it shouldnt have gone in,
Cardinals coach Rick Pitino said. Its
very difficult for all the players. But real
proud of our guys.
Louisville was denied a shot of making its third Final Four in four years and
11th overall.
Its the ninth Final Four appearance
for the Spartans and first since 2010,
when they lost 52-50 to Butler in the
national semifinals. Izzo has led them
to seven Final Fours including the 2000
national championship.
The Spartans did it with a roster that
was regarded as having less talent than
the team that lost in the regional final to
Connecticut a year ago. Michigan State
lost three of its top four scorers.

The Spartans rallied from a 40-32

halftime deficit to eventually build a
61-59 lead with 3:57 left, when Trice hit
two free throws.
Michigan State took control in overtime, starting with Forbes hitting a
3-pointer 26 seconds in.
The Spartans then sealed it in the
final 31 seconds. Dawson did what
Izzos teams have done well over the
years: He put back a 3-point miss by
Forbes to put Michigan State up 74-70.
Valentine batted away
Quentin Sniders pass into
the paint on the Cardinals
next possession and Trice
sealed the win by hitting two
free throws with 10.1 seconds left.
Michigan States defense
Izzos other trademark played
havoc with the Cardinals. After hitting 17 of 32 attempts in the first half,
Louisville managed to make six of its
final 32.
It is the third straight year one conference has had two teams in the Final
Four. The Southeastern Conference did
last year with Kentucky and Florida
and the Big East had Louisville and
Syracuse in 2013.
The last time the Big Ten did it was
2005 with Michigan State and Illinois.
Though Blackshear, a member of the
Cardinals 2013 national championship
team, stepped up his performance in
what became his final collegiate game,
Cardinals junior forward Montrezl
Harrell struggled.
Harrell missed his last five shots
and was off on five of nine free throw
attempts in what was also his final
game. Harrell has already indicated his
intention to enter the NBA draft.

Jimmy Walker wins hometown Texas Open

Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO
Jimmy Walker made himself
right at home on the Texas
Open leaderboard.
Walker won his hometown
event Sunday to become the
first 2-time winner this season on the PGA Tour, beating
fellow Texan Jordan Spieth
by four strokes.
(Spieth) really made me
fight hard, Walker said. He
kept hitting it close, and I had
to keep making putts.
Walker made birdie putts
of 15 feet at No. 16 and 17
feet at the 17th in a 2-under
70 that left him at 11-under
277 at TPC San Antonio, a
35-minute drive from his
home.
The 36-year-old former
Baylor player won the Sony
Open in Hawaii by nine shots
in January and has a tour-best
five victories in the past two
seasons.
Everybody says its hard
to win at home, Walker said,
(but) its hard to win any
week home, away, out of
the country, its hard. So I

feel good.
Spieth also finished with
a 70, making four late birdies
in a row. The 21-year-old
Dallas player was coming off
a playoff victory two weeks
ago at Innisbrook.
It actually looked like I
had a chance, said Spieth,
seven shots back with eight
to play. I didnt think that
would be possible. Youre
never out of it in this game
but Jimmy shut that down
pretty quickly with his made
putts.
Walker and Spieth will
move to career highs in the
world ranking, with Spieth
going from sixth to fourth
and Walker from 13th to 10th.
Thats cool, Spieth said.
But Im not pinching myself
because there are three guys
ahead.
FedEx Cup champion
Billy Horschel was third at 4
under after a 71.
Daniel Summerhays, second last year behind Steven
Bowditch, tied for fourth
with Chesson Hadley at 3
under. Summerhays closed
with a 69, and Hadley had

a 71.
Doral winner Dustin
Johnson shot his second
straight 68 to match Ryan
Palmer at 2 under. Palmer
also had a 68.
With the same wind the
last three days it helped to
figure out the course, and I
played well, Johnson said,
noting steady wind at past
20 mph much of this week.
I just played a couple of
holes bad. Other than that, I
played a lot of good golf in
between and if I played those
other holes better its a whole
different tournament.
Phil Mickelson, looking
for some momentum heading
to the Masters, closed with a
76 to drop into a tie for 30th
at 4 over.
Ten players finished under
par, with the Oaks Course
playing the toughest on the
PGA Tour this season with
a 74.581 stroke average
more than two shots over
par. The previous high was
PGA Nationals Champion
course at 1.832 over par for
the Honda Classic.
Marc Warren and Harris

English failed to crack the

top 50 in the world ranking, which would have given
them spots in the Masters.
Warren, 52nd, needed to finish ahead of Brendan Todd
to get in but closed with a 70
to finish 35th. English, 53rd,
needed at least a top 10. His
final-round 72 only got him
to 30th.
CHAMPIONS TOUR
SAUCIER, Miss.
David Frost survived a
1-stroke penalty on the par-3
17th and won the Mississippi
Gulf Resort Classic on
Sunday when Tom Lehman
missed a 4-foot birdie putt on
the last hole.
The 55-year-old South
African finished with a
4-under 68 at Fallen Oak
for a 1-stroke victory over
2011 winner Lehman and
second-round leader Kevin
Sutherland.
Frost was penalized after
the coin marking his ball on
the green moved when he
accidentally dropped the ball
on it. That left him with a
bogey and cut his lead to a
stroke.

REDS 8, ANGELS 6
TEMPE, Ariz. Cincinnati right-hander Jason Marquis
continued his strong comeback with six good innings in the
Reds 8-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.
Marquis, 121-114 in 14 big-league seasons, is competing
for a spot in the rotation after missing all of 2014 following
Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. In his sixth spring
start, he worked six innings and allowed seven hits and three
runs with two walks and three strikeouts.
He needs the innings and the repetitions, Cincinnati manager Bryan
Price said. Hes really taking advantage of his opportunities. Im pleased
with the way hes throwing the ball.
Andrew Heaney, acquired from the Dodgers in the Howie
Kendrick trade, struggled again in his fifth start for the Angels.
He allowed eight hits and six runs with five strikeouts over
five innings. The left-hander, who has a 9.00 ERA this spring,
is expected to be sent to the minors after manager Mike
Scioscia announced he would go with a 4-man starting rotation to start the season.
C. J. Cron hit his fourth spring homer, a 2-run shot off
Marquis in the third inning. Cron figures to see more action as
the Angels designated hitter this season with Josh Hamiltons
status uncertain.
Chris Dominguez hit his third spring homer off Heaney
and had four hits and four RBIs. Irving Falu had three hits for
the Reds.
STARTING TIME
Reds: Marquis has been out since having Tommy John surgery on his elbow in June 2013. He went 9-5 with a 4.05 ERA
with San Diego in 2013.
He said hes happy with his spring.
Im excited about any opportunity, Marquis said. I feel
that Ive put myself in a good position to possibly claim one
of those (rotation) spots but well see how it goes. Other than
that, it was a good day to get myself stretched out and time
will tell. Well wait for the decision-makers to make their
decision.
Angels: Heaney was believed to have been in contention

for a fifth spot in the Angels rotation had Scioscia opted to

open the season with five pitchers but Scioscia told reporters
Sunday that he will go to a 4-man rotation to start the season.
Right-hander Garrett Richards is also expected to return to the
team by mid-April. The first date the Angels would need a fifth
pitcher would likely be April 14 and that could be Richards.
TRAINERS TABLE
Reds: C Devin Mesoraco came out of Sundays game with
a cramp in his left quad that he suffered while rounding second
on Brennan Boeschs double. I think I got that cramp feeling
in there and its tough to tell if you actually pulled it or if it
was a cramp, he said. Right now my strength is good. Ive
missed opening day enough. I want to be in there. Hopefully
Ill be fine. Mesoraco missed last seasons opening day with
an oblique injury.

WHITE SOX 4, INDIANS 1

GOODYEAR, Ariz. Tyler Flowers and George Kottaras
had key doubles in Chicagos 3-run fourth inning, spoiling T.J.
Houses day after he was told he earned a spot in Clevelands
rotation as the White Sox beat the Indians 4-1 on Sunday.
Flowers doubled to score Gordon Beckham
and later scored along with J.B. Schuck on a long
double by Kottaras to give Chicago a 3-1 lead.
House, who will start on April 12 against
Detroit, allowed four runs and six hits in six
innings. The left-hander has had one bad inning
spoil each of his last three starts but pitched well
enough to convince the Indians he belongs in the
rotation.
It is glaring that one inning, House said. I is kind of
getting to me. I want to get it out of the way out here, rather
than the season. I was a little bit up that inning.
Indians manager Terry Francona liked the way House handled the good news.
His stuff was good, Francona said. That one inning where
he gave up three instead of one or two. He is aware of it and
we love that. We talked about limiting runs. Hes learning as he
goes. When he starts pitching to a game plan we can work with
him. Here, (in spring) you want to see how a guy reacts.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. Denny

Hamlin just needed a visit to
Martinsville Speedway to get his racing
team back on track.
Now, with his spot in NASCARs
Chase for the Championship virtually assured, they can work to make it
better.
Hamlin passed teammate Matt
Kenseth for the lead with 28 laps to
go Sunday and ended Toyotas 32-race
winless streak in the NASCAR Sprint
Cup race at Martinsville Speedway. It
was his fifth victory on NASCARs
oldest, smallest circuit.
We had a very fast car but obviously some pit road issues, but we
overcame it, Hamlin said after his
25th career victory, which was helped
along by a serious blunder that took
4-time champion Jeff Gordon out of
contention late.
Hamlins pit crew, unlike Gordon,
made their mistake early enough in the
race to recover. Before the event was
200 laps old, Hamlin was penalized
when his crew failed to control a tire on
pit road. It dropped him from the lead
to 22nd place.
He was back in the top 10 by the
midpoint and stalking the leaders shortly thereafter.
The last 60, 70 laps played out how
they needed to play out for us to win
today, Hamlin said.
Hamlin also held off a 5-lap, bumperto-tail challenge from Brad Keselowski
at the finish. There was some bumping and nudging and a big wiggle for
Hamlin in the final fourth turn, but
Keselowski never caused him to spin.
We just werent going to be denied
today and hats off to Brad, he added,
thanking Keselowski for not wrecking
him.
I did everything I could other than
wreck him, Keselowski said.

mother warned me that sex

was overblown, uncomfortable and messy, but she said I
had to put up with it if I wanted kids and a good marriage.

also supposed to be pleasurable, and both parties should
be able to enjoy it. If sex is
painful, something is wrong.
I would never label you a

But please do not give your
daughters the same message
your mother gave to you, because it was wrong.
DEAR ABBY: I have two
daughters, Mary Beth, 48,
and Anne, 50, who do not
talk to each other. The last
time we were all together was
a family vacation in 2010.
They live in different states,
and I travel to visit them for
the holidays. They have similar lifestyles -- married, children, work outside the home
-- but they dont reach out to
each other.
When Mary Beth wrote her
feelings to Anne, they were
viewed as hurtful and vindictive. I received a copy of the
letter, but I didnt think they
were. That was two years ago,
and Anne never sent a reply.
She said, Oh, Mom, I dont
know what to write. Can you
help?
Frankly, I think Anne
prefers the lack of contact

DEAR DISAPPOINTED
MOM: Nowhere in your letter did you mention how Mary
Beth feels about the fact that
her letter may have caused
an estrangement. As an adult,
Anne should have responded
to that letter. It isnt unusual in
families that are geographically separated for sibling bonds
to loosen. Work, marriage and
children can be profoundly
distracting.
Im advising you to continue to see both daughters,
but not involve yourself in
their relationship. Im not sure
what kind of noise youre
looking for, but if you poke
into this, it could be an explosion.

Dear Little Miss

Know-It-All: My fiance, Tommy, and I
want to hold our wedding in Cancun, Mexico and fly my best
friends there for free.
The bad news
is that my dad says
he wont pay for it.
He thinks were too
young (Sheesh, Ill
be 20 in three years).
He said hed pay for a
wedding in our local
church if we invite
the same old boring
friends and family we
see every day. And
only when I turn 21,
and only if my fiance gets a job. What
should I do? -- Why
Me in Massachusetts
Dear Why Me:
Cant you see that
your
control-freak
dad is trying to wreck

your life? Youve

got to get out of that
house as soon as possible by running away
and marrying Tommy
right away. He sounds
dreamy. As soon as
youre married, youll
find that all your problems will magically
disappear. Suddenly
youll be happy with
the way you look and
youll be comfortable
with your weight. Everyone will suddenly
like you, even those
snobby kids at your
high school.
I think you should
pay for the wedding
yourself by maxing
out all your credit
cards (both yours and
Tommys). Besides,
after the wedding,
you wont need any
money, because youll
have each other.
Maybe your father

doesnt know it, but

its a well-known fact
that the more money
you spend on your
wedding, the better
your marriage will
be. Dont let anyone,
especially your unbelievably stupid father,
step on your dreams.
I wouldnt even invite
him to the wedding.
Dear Little Miss
Know-It-All: Im 16
and I want to be a
football star or a basketball star. Or maybe a golf legend. The
problem is that my
parents want me to apply to one of those colleges that barely even
has a sports team, like
Harvard or MIT, just
because I get good
grades. They want me
to be a scientist or a
professor. How do I
convince him that being smart is a dumb
career move? -- Concerned in Mineola
Dear Concerned:
Sometimes you wonder where parents get
these silly ideas. A
scientist. As if Nike is
ever going to pay you
millions of dollars to
wear their swoosh on
your lab coat.
Still, lets get real.
You may never become a $30 million-ayear athlete. You may
only be a $5 millionor $6 million-a-year
athlete. If you dont

think you can live

with that kind of bitter
disappointment, you
might as well go to
Harvard. I suppose it
cant hurt.
Dear Little Miss
Know-It-All: I plan

Idol this year, but
Im worried about

person I can talk to.
Should I spend it on
fancy cars, designer
clothes and jewelry,
or should I just waste
it on silly stuff? What
do you think? -- Tired

Dear Tired: Spend
it all, baby! And why

Dear Little Miss
Know-It-All: I met
a guy on a computer dating service. He
says hed like to see
me in person, but cant
afford to travel all the
way. He lives two
states away and hes
really cute. Should I
send him the $600 he
needs to get here and
back, or not? -- Confused in Columbus
Dear
Confused:
Is $600 enough? He
may think youre a
cheapskate. Why not
send him a thousand
to show him what a
nice person you are?
He sounds like a nice
guy; Im sure hell
pay you back. After
all, you met him online. What could go
wrong? You know,
its funny that he can
afford a computer but
not airfare. I dont
know what thats all
about, but Im sure it
will all become clear
once you meet him.

Hohman

(Continued from page 1)

The towpath is only one of

many canal-oriented preservation projects he has donated
his time, energy and expertise
toward. Beginning in 1988, he
formed the Canal Commission
and worked diligently to get the
Delphos community involved
in the preservation of the
Marguerite - the canal boat remnants recovered from the canal
directly behind the Delphos
Post Office in 1987.
The state would not allow
an archaeological dig unless
it was done with a youth
group, Hohman said. I enlisted the help of the Knights of
Columbus Columbian Squires
to reclaim the remains of the
boat.
Since that time, Hohmans
passion was to establish a home
for the Marguerite, which came
to fruition in 2014 when she
was placed on display in the
museum.
As a founder and permanent
trustee of the museum, Hohman
has taken the reigns and managed crews of volunteers dedicated to biannual canal cleanups
for almost 40 years.
The cleanups take place
prior to the citys celebrations of
Fourth of July and Canal Days,
Hohman said. Its a joint effort
between the Canal Commission
and the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR)
Division of Parks and Canal
Lands.
These days, Hohman puts a
lot of time into improving the
museum an ongoing process
which he dedicates one day
of any given week toward.
All the work he and all of
the other volunteers have put
into the museum has promoted a lot of tourism, Ireland
explained. People call Lou Mr.
Canal Commission.
Hohman has spent one
Saturday per month for the past

Monday, March 30, 2015

25 years working as a volunteer

for Project Recycle at Delphos
Truck Fuel and Wash. When he
isnt busy facilitating that project, hes tooling up and down
the streets of his neighborhood
and traveling to the carry-outs
and nursing facilities in town
picking up their recyclables
each week.
I mostly pick up newspapers, store them in a semi-trailer
and take them to the recycling
center twice per year, Hohman
said. I donate the proceeds
from the newspapers to the Girl
Scouts and Columbian Squires.
Hohman is also a Faithful
Navigator of Bishop Nuemann
Assembly 829 Fourth Degree of
Knights of Columbus in Lima
and is currently Commander of
the Assembly Color Guard as
well as the Patriotism Essay
Chairman for high school
seniors seeking scholarships.
He has been a member of
the K of C for 51 years and has
acquired the nickname Mr. K
of C.
After his retirement in 1992
from the Ohio State Highway
Patrol, Hohman served as a
facilitator of the Van Wert
County Juvenile Court 4-H
CARTEENS
until
2008.
Currently, he supervises youth
attending community service
hours for the court and drives
St. Johns students to work at
the soup kitchen in Lima on an
as-needed-basis.
Hohman is also a life member of the American Legion and
a member of the Fraternal Order
of Police.
In his spare time, Hohman
enjoys hunting and during
the summer, he and his wife,
Carol, delight in camping as
well as spending time with
their seven children and 21
grandchildren.
If chosen as the regional winner in Lima on Tuesday, Hohman
will attend the national awards
ceremony in Washington, D.C.

When Montgomerys father died in 1964 from the disorder, his mother was put in touch with the VA who gathered
his military and civilian health records and filed a claim.
They declared him disabled and paid for nearly all his
funeral expenses, Montgomery said. They even made it retroactive and went back more than 20 years and cut my mom
a check. She paid off the house and did things for my siblings
and I and collected a widows pension. All because my dad was
disabled during his service. It changed her life. Thats why I do
this: to pay it back. I feel like Ill never be able to do that fully.
Rosemary Benedum nominated Montgomery for the
award for his help with veterans. She met him through the
local chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America.
Benedum heard Montgomery had organized distributing more than 1,500 coloring books to Allen County
fourth-graders.
I personally delivered most of the coloring books,
Montgomery said. One class asked me to come in and speak.
The coloring books are from the Vietnam Veterans of
American Buckeye Chapter. Montgomery also secured the
funds to purchase the coloring books, which including a
history of the U.S. and its military.

The 2015-16 officers were also

installed and include: President Sophia
Wilson, Vice President Sarah Fitch,
Secretary Asya Hamilton, Treasurer
Evan Krites, Reporter Kylie White,
Sentinel Beth Williams and Student
Advisor Allie Buettner.

Montgomerys endeavors keep him busy. Just this past

week, he spent two days in Columbus for training in conjunction with his position with the Allen County Veterans
Services Commission. He is also vice president of the Allen
County Veterans Council and Vietnam Veterans of America
local chapter, Senior Vice Commander of DAV, Sgt. of Arms
of the Marine Corps League and a member of American
Legion Post 96 in Lima. He and his wife are 45-plus-year
members of Trinity United Methodist Church in Delphos.
When he retired, I wasnt worried about what he was
going to be doing, his wife, Marilyn, said. I have to make
an appointment with him to get things done. Its wonderful
he is so passionate about veterans.
Montgomery said will continue his passion as long as
he can.
As long as I am physically able, I will help anyone I
can, Montgomery said.
In their spare time, the Montgomerys enjoy their five
grandchildren and travel.
The Jefferson Awards for Public Service recognize eight
local winners for their volunteerism in the community.
Each winner gets $350 for their organization. One local
winner will be selected Tuesday to attend the national
awards ceremony in Washington.
