Kiwanis near goal for Garfield Park project

Staff reports DELPHOS With two major playground renovations under its belt, the Delphos Kiwanis Club is just $5,000 away from tackling Garfield Park. The group had $45,000 of the $50,000 needed. The Kiwanis have already remove the two concrete pads at the park and will replace them with one regulationsize basketball court complete with new poles, backboards and rims. The remaining area will be seeded. New playground equipment will include a fourbay swing for older children; a two-bay swing for younger children; and four pieces of free-standing equipment. The club will also put in new fencing along Clay Street that will be moved back from the road to allow for additional parking and enclose the playground equipment for safety. The group hopes to start pouring the basketball court as soon as the weather breaks. Tax-deductible contribuStacy Taff photo tions can be sent to: Delphos Kiwanis Club, P.O.

Change smoke detector batteries when changing clocks Sunday

State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers reminds Ohioans to make a potentially lifesaving change when move clocks forward on Sunday: Change the batteries in smoke detectors In conjunction with Ohios fire departments, the Division of State Fire Marshal encourages Ohioans to make it a habit to change the batteries in smoke detectors at least twice a year at the beginning and end of daylight savings time. Marshal Flowers said firefighters still find that smoke detectors, which typically retail for less than $10, are often not present in homes or are not functional. Through March 7, 2012, 35 people have died in 32 fatal residential fires reported to the Division of State Fire Marshal. Smoke detectors were confirmed present in nine (28 percent) of those fires and functioning in only two (6 percent) of the incidents. For the greatest protection, install a smoke detector on every level of the home and inside each sleeping area. Also, develop an escape plan and make sure every family member knows what to do and where to meet outside if the fire alarm sounds. Marshal Flowers offers these additional tips: Test smoke detectors at least once each month to ensure that they are working properly. Vacuum the dust from inside the detector at least once every year. Change batteries in battery-operated detectors twice a year or whenever a detector chirps to signal low battery power. Never borrow a smoke detectors battery for another use. Replace smoke alarms every 10 years or according to the manufacturers specifications. Clear tonight and in the mid 30s; partly cloudy Sunday and high in low 60s with 50 percent chance of evening showers.

BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com DUBLIN Genderspecific health issues involving sensitive anatomical regions can be embarrassing and difficult for patients to discuss. National awareness campaigns help stimulate conversation and remove any stigma that may accompany a disease. For example, breast cancer. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and its use of pink have made it easier for many women to talk openly about the disease. Likewise, one Delphos native invites men to come out of the shadows and not be embarrassed to discuss a cancer unique to males. Jay Holdgreve, 35, is a testicular cancer survivor. Last year, a fundraiser was held in Delphos and the second annual event is upcoming. Bowling for the Boyz will take place March 31 at Delphos Recreation Center. He uses the events to raise money for research, having collected $15,310 last year. Last year, Delphos raised over $6,700 for the Jay Holdgreve Endowment for Testicular Cancer Research and are trying to match it this year. Donations have been coming in fast and furious and we have some great items in the silent auction and raffle, he said. I was in town two weeks ago to hang posters and solicit donations from local businesses. People in Delphos and the surrounding area have been very supportive. It was very nice talking with business owners who know my story. Holdgreve grew up in Delphos and played football at St. Johns High School. He studied at Ohio State University and began his career there as an athletic trainer. Two years ago, he sought medical treatment for symptoms, was diagnosed and underwent surgery. He said, though he grew up in a community where cancer is on the cultural radar, he was never made aware of testicular cancer. I played football at St. Johns; Ive been an athletic trainer at Ohio State and

There is such a stigma with cancer; before this, it scared the hell out of me but there have been some amazing medical advances.
Survivor Jay Holdgreve worked with all the major sports. I interned with the National Football League, worked with high schools and work with a doctors group now. At no time did anyone ever mention testicular cancer to me. So, when I was diagnosed, I started researching it and found no material online in the form of patient care; everything was geared toward medical professionals, he said. So, Holdgreve started the endowment fund and web site because he is passionate about removing a stigma he believes is attached to testicular cancer that can add to a patients embarrassment and cause more fear than necessary. There is such a stigma with cancer; before this, it scared the hell out of me but there have been some amazing medical advances. I started the Web site to bring awareness and education, he said. The great majority of patients survive the disease and Holdgreve is among them. He recalls his journey beginning with symptoms he didnt take seriously in the beginning. Ive always had lower back and hip problems. Two years ago in May, I was having these issues and some pain in my groin but I thought it was from my back and hip trouble. I went to my family doctor, who is also an osteopath, and he gave me an adjustment like a chiropractor would. I felt somewhat better but was still having a dull ache, he explained. To be honest, I was kind of blowing See CANCER, page 10

Sometimes you feel like a nut

This week in the news was interesting. I find myself saying that a lot lately. What I love about the news is how diverse it is. You get the good with the bad, the heartbreaking with the uplifting. The kooky with the what the heck? Heres a few I like and think sum up the nature of news. Theres a new viral video. Ill catch you up if youve missed it. Director Jason Russells expose KONY 2012 showcases the human rights abuses of a Ugandan warlord and his guerrilla army. People are outraged at the violence and how children are forced into sex slavery, put in Joseph Konys army and even used to kill their own families. CHILDREN. What I think is important about this is that it has been going on for a long time and even though people who could have done something about it didnt, one man was courageous enough to bring it to the world. We need more people to seek out injustice and make us see it. Things are often out of sight, out of mind. Its easy to do. We need more people like Russell to shove it in our face so we have to do something about it. It made the news and now you and I and everyone else knows. Something has to be done. Its just not an option to ignore it any longer. Then there was the lottery-winning single mom who didnt understand why she couldnt keep collecting food stamps. After all, she was still unemployed, had bills to pay and had two houses to run. Never mind the half-million in her bank account. Come on girl. You are better than that. I refuse to believe this can be an acceptable mindset in our society. Sadly, some share her rationale. They say you should dress for the job you want, not the one you have. A Brazilian

city hired a guy who likes to dress up like Batman. His job: to dress up like Batman. I dont know if youre familiar with the crime rate in Brazil but he better be very careful. A lot of people wont be happy with his new vocation. They even gave his name, which is a clear violation of super hero protocol. No one ever gives up their alter ego. Pat Robertson thinks its a great idea to legalize marijuana. Here is one of his quotes: I really believe we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol. Ive never used marijuana and I dont intend to, but its just one of those things that I think: this war on drugs just hasnt succeeded. He makes a valid point. The war on drugs does seem to be a losing battle and many law enforcement say chasing marijuana growers and dealers and the like takes a big chunk of money that could be used to shut down heroin dealers, meth labs and places that sell designer drugs that are killing people, etc. The pies only so big so you need to pick the slices carefully. Our jails and prisons are full of those who break laws pertaining to marijuana and violent, hardened criminals are being let out early because of over-crowding. Im not throwing a yeah or a ney out here. Im just sayin, Then there was the pair who stole $500 worth of nuts from the store. I dont think I need to say anything else. This ones kind of self-explanatory. Sometimes you feel like a nut.

STATE/LOCAL

On the banks of yesteryear ...

In 1844, about the time Delphos was being settled, Samuel Morses famous message, What hath God wrought was being telegraphed from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, a distance of 40 miles. It was the official opening of the first telegraph line. Within a few years, the line had grown to include Philadelphia and New York City and by 1865, the telegraph had over 83,000 miles of wire in the United States, making it the greatest means of communication up to that time. In Delphos, the first telegraph office was in Helmkamps Meat Market at 326 N. Main St. The meat market was established there in 1878, so Delphos was a little slow getting a telegraph line, maybe because the lines ran along railroad tracks and the canal was still Delphos main mode of transportation. Telegrams cost a penny a word when they first came out but were up to a nickel per word by World War II in the early 1940s when many soldiers telegraphed home. Western Union was located at 310 N. Main St. in the 1930s and 40s and the Lima Telephone and Telegraph and the Postal Telegraph were in the telephone building on the southwest corner of Third and Canal streets around the

From the Delphos Canal Commission

AKRON (AP) A former county official in Ohio has been convicted at a high-profile corruption trial. An Akron federal court jury convicted former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora of 33 counts, including racketeering and bribery, Friday afternoon. He was acquitted of one mail fraud count. Dimora once led the powerful Democratic Party in Cleveland. The corruption investigation helped fuel a referendum that replaced the three-commissioner county government in Cleveland with a county executive and elected council. The Cleveland Plain Dealer says Dimoras wife and other family members were in court when the jury returned the verdict after more than a week of deliberations. The verdict caps a federal investigation that led to more than 50 convictions involving county officials, employees and contractors who traded bribes for government jobs and contracts.

Scrapbooking can be loads of fun. Its fun for those putting these memory books together and fun for those who get to look at them and relive the many good times preserved on those pages. Another local historian, Bob Holdgreve, lives just across the road from me. He is also my second cousin. Bob and his wife, Donna (VonderEmbse), have three daughters and seven grandchildren. Cindy Kastoff and Maria Powley live in Ft. Wayne. Chrissy Elwer and her husband are both teachers. They reside near Delphos. Bob has always been interested in family history and local history. Many of you read his historical column in the Delphos Herald. He began writing Window to the Past back in 1998 Several years ago, after the Delphos Herald was put on micro-film, the Delphos Public Library gave Bob the old bound volumes of the local newspaper. They were beginning to crumble and the library had no place to store them. These papers were dated from 1872 to 1908. For old news since that date Bob goes to the library and uses the microfilm. Bob cut many interesting articles from those old tattered papers and pasted them in wall-paper books. One popular topic in the Herald was the horse racing in Delphos. The Delphos Driving Park Association was very active in 1877. The race track was across the road from where Delpha Chevrolet is now located. The winners of these races collected a pretty good purse. First place for trotting better than three minutes was $30. Other categories were running and racing. This race track was often referred to as the fair grounds, with many picnics held there. The following is a quote from an 1878 race: The racer Sleepy George, the fastest pacer in the world, has been entered for the Delphos races to take place on the 30th and 31st. The announcement of this fact will add largely to the interest of the occasion and will bring out a large crowd to see the wonderful performance of this famous horse. Already between 20 and 30 entries have been made in the several purses, and it is believed that no less than 50 entries will be booked. The indicating point to the most successful races ever held on the Delphos Track. Other interesting stories included: 1877 It is somewhere related that a poor soldier, having had his skull fractured, was told by the doctor that his brains were visible. The soldier replied to the doctor, Do write and tell father of it ... for he always said I had no brains. In July, 1877 - R. B. Jervis, Proprietor of the Grand Orient ... PS For the mutual benefit of myself and customers I publish a newspaper, The Delphos Grocer.

One Year Ago The Levy Core Committee for the Delphos City Schools 1 percent Income Tax Levy voters will see on the May 4 Primary Ballot met for the first time Tuesday evening. Andy Mox, Gary Mack and Margie Rostorfer will head the committee. 25 Years Ago 1987 Luke Kill of Delphos registered a hole-in-one on the 151yard 17th hole at Quail Creek Golf Course, Naples, Fla. Kill was a member of a foursome that included Dr. Clint Miller, Dr. Burl Morris and Clark Williams. Members of the news media from Delphos were awarded special recognition by the Knights of Columbus, Ray McKowen Council 1362, at a carry-in dinner Monday evening at the K of C hall, Elida Avenue. Accepting for WDOH was Dave Roach. Murray Cohen and Thom Dunlavy accepted for The Herald. The Fort Jennings Musketeers proved to be too much of a match for the Columbus Grove Bulldogs in their Saturday afternoon sectional match-up at Ottawa as they defeated the outsized Bulldogs 77-53. The Musketeers were led in scoring by Mark Von Lehmden with 23 points. Brad Miehls added 14, Gary Menke 12 and Tim Utrup 10. 50 Years Ago 1962 The Constable of American Township was shot and killed in front of the Elida High School about 7:50 a.m. today. Clarence Prince, 56, who was also the Mayor of Elida and one of the most highly regarded law enforcement officers in the area, apparently died in the line of duty, investigating officers said. Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hoverman of Hoverman Studio and Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Lundgren of Kaufman Studio attended the 1962 convention of the Professional Photographers of Ohio, Inc., at the Neil House in Columbus this week. Both local photographers had work hung in the exhibit. Lundgren had four prints accepted. Mrs. Hoverman had three prints accepted and Mr. Hoverman also had three prints accepted. Delphos Chapter No. 26, Order of the Eastern Star, will observe its 68th birthday on March 15 with a pot-luck dinner starting at 6 p.m. in the Masonic Temple dining room. At the close of the meeting there will be entertainment in the chapter room. 75 Years Ago 1937 Mattie Morgan, North Canal Street, received a box of fruit Tuesday from her brother, W. C. Edwards of Van Wert, who is spending the winter in Winterhaven, Fla. The box contains oranges, tangerines and grapefruit. Edwards has been sending a box to his sister each year. Council Tuesday night had a lengthy discussion on a proposed plan to enlarge the effluent pond at the Hinde and Dauch Paper Mill to provide more storage space so that the plant will not be forced to shut down again this coming summer. The lack of storage space for mill effluent caused the plant to shut down for eight weeks last summer and caused employees to lose much needed work. One of the important programs in Welsh music circles is the Gymanfa Ganu. This song festival will be given at the Presbyterian Church in Venedocia Sunday evening. Professor W. Albert Hughes of Cleveland, a conductor of note, will conduct at the festival. It is likely that members of the famed Cambrian Male Chorus, also of Cleveland, will be present to take part in the festival.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Bob Holdgreve holds one of his scrapbooks of historical items.

The second is one taken of the buildings on the west side of the 300 block of North Main Street from Bob Holdgreves book of Delphos pictures and postcards. Note Pat Linders store as one of the businesses. He sold all kind of things to go with hunting, trapping and fishing. It was always a fun place to go.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Moderately confused

makes it the cheapest paper in America. From the Herald of 15 February 1877 During the past year the Commissioners of Putnam County have established 67 county ditches, making an aggregate length of 170 miles of ditches. From 8 March 1877 Two large wolves, one black and the other gray, were killed by a Paulding County man recently. Also from 1877 Yesterday Frank Dannacker killed a blue-racer on the bank of the canal, which measured 5 feet and 7 inches in length. Another wildlife story of 1879 was A wild panther is roaming the woods and fields a few miles north of town. From the Herald in 1877 The citizens of Paulding are trying to have a plank road laid to Charloe. It would be a good improvement. For more interesting stories from the old days just read: Window to the Past on Saturdays in the Delphos Herald. There are many types of scrapbooking. Some call them themes. Im thankful to my mother for getting me started in the hobby when I was in junior high. Some of the unusual items in my

scrapbooks from the early 1940s include war ration stamps, old sales tax stamps, a V-Mail Christmas card and letter that Mom receive from her cousin, serving in the WACS in Australia during World War II. During the past week, I paged through my old tattered and torn scrapbooks. My favorite is from 1951, which includes our marriage certificate, invitation, all the beautiful wedding cards that came with the gifts and the newspaper clipping. It was especially touching when I found the road map from our honeymoon and the post cards and other memorabilia. We visited Niagara Falls and several of the New England States in Hups 1950 Studebaker Champion Convertible. That was a car way ahead of its time. Compiling a Christmas scrapbook is very interesting because you see how everyone changes through the years. At present, I am compiling Heritage scrapbooks for all my children and grandchildren. These include newspaper clippings, charts, certificates, etc. (Just a note: Its advisable to have the newspaper articles photo copied because there is a lot of acid in the newspa-

pers.) These memory books include all sides of the families; including those of their spouses as far back as I can find the pictures and info. My first venture into albums for each of them included the early years of each individual. I started out with the following greeting: Some grandmas make afghans or quilts for their grandchildren. This grandma just ran around with a camera around her neck, capturing your lives in pictures. In the past articles I gave you a list of some of the tools of the trade. You can make your scrapbooks as simple as can be or you can use all kinds of embellishments. I like to do a lot of cropping of pictures and use colored card stock to accent at least one or two photos. There are so many stickers or embellishments to go with any theme you choose. You can also use rubber stamps or paper punches to make embellishments. The Delphos Public Library has an Ellison Machine available to patrons for making die cuts. The Delphos Library also has a large selection, possibly 20 or 30 books on scrapbooking. Two of my favorites are: The Ultimate Scrapbooking Book and Scrapbooking Basics. Enjoy.

Red Devils use foul line to sink Grove

By DAVE BONINSEGNA The Delphos Herald zsportslive@yahoo.com BENTON RIDGE Ninety two. That was the magic number for the Arlington Red Devils in the boys Division IV District finals game against Columbus Grove on Friday night at Liberty-Benton. The Red Devils shot a stellar 24-of-26 (92%) from the foul line, including 13-of-13 in the final quarter, to defeat the Bulldogs 51-44 and move on to the regional semifinals in Bowling Green on Tuesday. Columbus Grove got into foul trouble early in the second quarter, sending the Red Devils to the line just 24 seconds into the period. Arlington responded by connecting on 7-of-7 in the frame and 9-of-9 in the first half. Thayne Recker had a gamehigh 17 points for Arlington, while Wes Corbin added 12 markers, including 8-of-8 from the charity stripe. Grove was led by senior Connor Kohls and his 16 points, while senior Jordan Travis contributed 14 in the effort. The score was tied at 10-10 after one, 23-23 at the break and 34-34 after three. It was in the final period that the Red Devils foul-shooting prowess went into action. Travis nailed a 3-pointer from the right-side elbow extended with 2:30 to go, giving the Bulldogs a 41-39 edge. However, Adam Inniger hit two from the line to tie things back up at 41-41. The Bulldogs got the lead back briefly after a Kohls bank shot but that was their final lead; back-toback two foul shots by Corbin and Recker gave the advantage back to the Devils. They never gave it up. Collin Grothaus got the Bulldogs back to within one by hitting 1-of-2 from the line as the Dogs trailed 45-44 with 38 ticks left but Arlington and Corbin connected on the next six foul shot attempts to seal the win. Arlington got off to a quick start, going up 5-0 early, and led by as much at 8-2 at the outset. The Bulldogs went on an 8-2 run of their own with Kohls hitting a baseline bank shot to tie the game at 10-10 with just under 30 seconds left in the first stanza. The Red Devils hit just three attempts from the field in the second period but their perfect free-throw shooting kept them in the game. Travis gave Grove its first lead of the game with a long-range shot, making it 20-17 with 5:41 to go before the break. Inninger moved the momentum the way of Arlington with just under two minutes left with a steal and conversion to tie the game at 22-22. However, there was a bit of excitement for the Bulldogs as they got a steal and an apparent basket at the buzzer but the officials determined the shot was too late, so the teams went into the locker rooms tied at 23-23. Columbus Grove got the ball to start the second half and took advantage of the first possession as Kohls drove the lane for an easy layup. However, Andrew

Hunter answered back at the other end for the Red Devils to knot the game back up. Neither team got more than a 4-point lead in the third period, with three ties, including the game at a deadlock after the eight minutes had expired. It was the second time in as many seasons that Columbus Grove faced the Red Devils in postseason basketball play. Last year, the Bulldogs defeated Arlington before losing to eventual state runner-up Continental. The Bulldogs concluded their season with a record of 19-5, while Arlington improves to 21-3.

The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS Jared Sullinger had a season-high 30 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to help No. 7 Ohio State beat Purdue 88-71 on Friday night in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals. Deshaun Thomas had 22 points and seven rebounds and William Buford scored nine of his 11 points in the second half for the thirdseeded Buckeyes (26-6). Ohio State shot 61 percent to post its secondbest scoring output of the season and outrebounded Purdue 39-28. The Buckeyes will play No. 10 Michigan in a semifinal today. D.J. Byrd scored 20 points and Terone Johnson added 15 for the Boilermakers (21-12). Robbie Hummel, Purdues top scorer, finished with six points on 2-for-8 shooting. The Boilermakers made 12-of26 from 3-point range but were overwhelmed by Ohio States size and athleticism in the paint. Purdue missed its first five shots to fall behind 7-0 and the deficit increased to 19-11 before the Boilermakers rallied. Byrd hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to cut Ohio States lead to 33-30. Hummel stuffed Sullingers shot on one end and Anthony Johnson made a 3-pointer on the other end to trim Ohio States lead to 35-33. Sullingers 3-pointer with 34 seconds left in the first half gave the Buckeyes a 40-36 lead at the break. Ohio State shot 60 percent from the field in the first half but Purdue hung tough by making 6 of 13 from long range. The Buckeyes pushed their lead to 52-41 early in the second half after Sullinger scored six points during an 8-0 run. Byrd drained another 3 to trim Ohio States lead to 62-59 but the Buckeyes took over from there. Buford came back with a 3-point play, Thomas scored on a putback, Sullinger scored on a postup against Hummel and Buford converted another 3-point play to give the Buckeyes a 72-61 lead with 5:23 remaining. A 3-pointer by Buford bumped the lead to 14 and the Buckeyes remained in control from there.

Terrence Jones added 15 points and 11 rebounds, including a 9-0 run by himself that gave the Wildcats (31-1) the lead for good as they extended their winning streak to 23 games. Anthony Davis added 12 points and 14 rebounds after a slow start and Doron Lamb scored 12. Storm Warren scored 14 for LSU (18-14), which came in as a 17-point underdog after beating Arkansas in Thursdays opening round. The Tigers led by as much as five points early in the second half before Jones surge turned the tide. Andre Stringer added 11 points for the Tigers. Kentucky will face Florida in the tournament semifinals TOday. CINCINNATI 71, NO. 2 SYRACUSE 68 NEW YORK Sean Kilpatrick keyed Cincinnatis early 3-point barrage and scored 18 points in the semifinals of the Big East tournament. The fourth-seeded Bearcats (24-9) ended the 11-game winning streak of the top-seeded Orange (31-2). They did it with an incredible shooting performance over the opening 14 minutes of the game when they took a 17-point lead and then by holding on as Syracuse was able to get within one point in the final seconds. This was Cincinnatis seventh win over a ranked team this season, the most in the country. Dion Waiters had 28 points for Syracuse. The loss shouldnt hurt the Oranges chances of being a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. NO. 12 BAYLOR 81, NO. 3 KANSAS 72 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Baylor sharpshooter Brady Heslip hit a pair of 3-pointers to keep Kansas at bay and the Bears advanced to the Big 12 tournament title game. Quincy Miller added 13 points and eight rebounds and Pierre Jackson had 11 points and seven assists for the Bears (27-6). Tyshawn Taylor had 20 points for Kansas (26-6), which used a big second-half charge to briefly take the lead. But the Bears hung tough down the stretch and Heslips two 3-pointers one with 2:03 remaining, the other with 1:12 left allowed them to hang on. NO. 4 NORTH CAROLINA 85, MARYLAND 69 ATLANTA North Carolina shook off an injury to defensive ace John Henson and pulled away

from Maryland in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Reggie Bullock hit back-to-back 3-pointers to start the second half, quickly extending a 10-point halftime lead to 42-26. Behind 30 points from Terrell Stoglin, the Terrapins sliced the deficit down to seven points a couple of times before the fourth-ranked Tar Heels pulled away again. North Carolina (28-4) simply had too many weapons for Maryland (17-15), which was essentially a 1-man show. Kendall Marshall scored 13 points, knocking down three attempts from 3-point range, and had North Carolina putting on a dunking show at the rim with 12 assists. The Tar Heels will face North Carolina State in the semifinals today. Its not yet known if Henson will be available. The ACC defensive player of the year injured his left wrist early in the game. NO. 6 DUKE 60, VIRGINIA TECH 56 ATLANTA Tyler Thornton scored a career-high 13 points, Austin Rivers hustled for a clinching 3-point play and Duke survived an ugly performance against coldshooting Virginia Tech. Seeking their fourth straight ACC tournament title, the Blue Devils (27-5) didnt put away the 10th-seeded Hokies (16-17) until the closing seconds, even though Virginia Tech went more than 8 minutes without making a field goal in the second half. Rivers scored 17 points and sealed it by outrunning two Hokies for a loose ball near midcourt. He then drove to the basket, drew a foul and completed the 3-point play to make it 58-51 with 15.1 seconds left. Robert Brown and Erick Green led the Hokies with 16 points apiece. NO. 8 MICHIGAN STATE 92, IOWA 75 INDIANAPOLIS Draymond Green had 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead Michigan State to the victory in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals. Adreian Payne added a careerhigh 16 points, Keith Appling had 12 points and six assists and Brandon Wood had 10 points for the top-seeded Spartans (25-7). The Spartans shot 58 percent from the field. Michigan State will play No. 15 Wisconsin in the semifinals today. Josh Oglesby scored 20 points for Iowa (17-16). Zach McCabe and Roy Devyn Marble added 13 points each for the Hawkeyes.

NO. 10 MICHIGAN 73, MINNESOTA 69, OT INDIANAPOLIS Trey Burke scored seven of his career-high 30 points in overtime and Michigan used a late flurry of 3-pointers to rally for the victory in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals. Next up for the second-seeded Wolverines is a rematch with Ohio State. Michigans Tim Hardaway Jr. finished with 20 points. Minnesota (19-14) was led by Andre Hollins with 21 points and Rodney Williams with 20. Coach Tubby Smith was denied his 100th victory since taking the Minnesota job in 2007. NO. 14 WISCONSIN 79, NO. 15 INDIANA 71 INDIANAPOLIS Rob Wilson scored a career-high 30 points to power Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan to his 266th win since coming to Madison in 2002, breaking a tie for most career wins with Harold Bud Foster. Three Indiana players Christian Watford, Jordan Hulls and Cody Zeller each scored 17 points. The loss ended the Hoosiers 5-game winning streak and came just hours after the school announced senior guard Verdell Jones would miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee. Wilson went 7-of-10 from 3-point range, despite coming in with a career percentage of 27.8 from beyond the arc. He was 11-of16 overall. Indiana (25-8) has lost 10 straight to the Badgers. NO. 18 SAN DIEGO STATE 79, COLORADO STATE 69 LAS VEGAS Jamaal Franklin, playing most of the second half with three fouls, scored 19 points and Chase Tapley had 10 of his 17 in the first five minutes of the second half to lead No. 18 and top-seeded San Diego State to a 79-69 victory against fourth-seeded Colorado State in the Mountain West Conference tournament semifinals on Friday night. Coach Steve Fishers Aztecs (26-6) will play for their third MWC tournament title and automatic NCAA tournament bid today. James Rahon had 15 points and Garrett Green 10 for SDSU. The Rams (20-11) are hoping their RPI of 21 and regular-season wins against SDSU, UNLV and New Mexico will earn them their first NCAA tournament berth since 2003. The Rams beat SDSU by 17 at Fort Collins on Jan. 28. Dorian Green had 20 points for CSU, while Jesse Carr had 17 and Dwight Smith 12.

Customer identification (ID) numbers should be used whenever possible to help streamline the license purchasing process. People can find the number at the top of last years license. License sales for the 201213 license year will run through February 28, 2013. Licenses purchased online or at retail outlets will be printed on paper that can be folded down to credit-card size but will not be waterproof and must be protected. Licenses and permits will be printed along with additional information relevant to the license or permit purchased. Each license buyer must have a Social Security Number (SSN) recorded in the system. People who purchased licenses last year can now use their customer ID number and will not have to supply their SSN again. SSNs are required to purchase a recreational license, regardless of age, for the purpose of childsupport collection enforcement under Federal Statute 42. As a recreational license provider, the DOW is obligated to comply with this law and cannot issue a license or permit without the SSN of the purchaser. The division will see that a proper security system is in place to protect SSNs and any databases that contain them. The license will be valid through Feb. 28, 2013.

Street in St. Petersburg named for Dan Wheldon

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. When Dan Wheldon won the inaugural IndyCar race in his adopted hometown of St. Petersburg, he celebrated hours after the victory by jumping into the Tampa Bay. That was one of the many memories of Wheldon shared Wednesday after a street was named for the late race car driver along the St. Petersburg race course. The corner of Bayshore Drive and Albert Whitted Park will now be known as Dan Wheldon Way and the street sign was unveiled by Mayor Bill Foster and Wheldons wife, Susie. Wheldon, a 2-time Indianapolis 500 winner, was killed in an Oct. 16 accident during last seasons finale. I just want to take the opportunity to thank my St. Petersburg family for all the love and support over the last several months, Susie Wheldon said during the ceremony. What a beautiful gift to be part of his legacy and its something we can all share for years to come. Sebastian and Oliver will be so proud to know the impact their father had on this community and the world of motorsports. The street is in Turn 10 on the course, the spot where Wheldon passed Ryan Briscoe to win the 2005 race, and the ceremony was during lunchtime of IndyCars annual media day. Almost all the active drivers were in attendance and the entire first row stood to hug Susie Wheldon when she arrived at the ceremony carrying young son, Sebastian. As IndyCar continues to recover from the horrific accident that claimed Wheldon, he remains a very central part of the upcoming March 25 opener. A representative for Wheldons family said Susie Wheldon has not yet decided if shell stay in St. Petersburg for the race. The emotions still run deep for almost everyone involved some four months after the Englishmans death. You know, for me, I lost one of my best friends and globally, IndyCar lost a tremendous ambassador, said Tony Kanaan, a 1-time teammate of Wheldons. Just driving in today, I remembered every time I came here when he was alive, I remembered all the great memories we had with him here. Wheldon was killed at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a high-banked oval that was dropped from IndyCars schedule this season as series officials evaluate whether the new car is compatible with that track. The drivers are united in their desire for pack racing to be eliminated and IndyCar has scheduled a May 7 open test at Texas in an attempt to find a formula that will spread out the field. A second issue with Texas is the fence construction, which is similar to Las Vegas in that its poles are on the inside of the track. Texas president Eddie Gossage reacted angrily last week to a report that drivers had discussed boycotting the race because of the fence and his comments are still rippling through the series. Wheldon was killed when his head hit a post in the Las Vegas fence. Ill just say its a very personal and emotional thing because of what weve gone through and unless youve driven an IndyCar at Texas, you dont understand that, said 4-time series champion Dario Franchitti. I think it seems as if Gossage is trying to use the drivers concerns about this as a way of promoting. And thats not very nice. Gossage maintains that engineers from Speedway Motorsports Inc. think the fence is constructed the best way possible and has challenged the drivers knowledge on the subject. If there was a better technology, we would do it, Gossage added earlier this week. Or, if there was something that should be done but we couldnt economically afford it and make running IndyCar work with the numbers, then we just wouldnt run IndyCar here. But right now, what we have, our engineers tell us is the best and I have yet to meet a driver who is also a structural engineer. Oriol Servia, who has a degree in mechanical engineering, is most vocal among the drivers about the fence and continued to question the construction. He has previously discussed the situation with track owner Bruton Smith and was surprised by Gossages aggressive comments about IndyCar drivers last week. I am not any specialist on fences but I just think common sense tells you you dont want the post there, Servia added. Everyone wants to make the sport better. Nobody is pointing fingers; we are just trying to improve and I just find there is no possible argument to tell me that its safer for anybody to have it this way. I just cannot see any potential argument. Stenhouse wants to learn more before moving on up
come into the pits and be like, Hey, I need this, and help the crew chief out instead of just telling him, Hey, I need to be tighter, fix it. Theres a lot of things I just want to get better at. Last year, Stenhouse his 26 Top-10 finishes included the final nine races. But along with his two wins were what Stenhouse considered some missed chances. He finished second or third six other times. After running sprint and midget cars for Stewart, Stenhouses ARCA debut season in 2008 was his first in stock cars. A year later, Roush put Stenhouse in a Nationwide car for seven races. Then in his first full-time Nationwide season, Stenhouse had plenty of early struggles. There were five accidents in the first 12 races before he overcame the largest deficit in series history to win the rookie title. Defending Sprint Cup champion Stewart said Stenhouses transition to NASCAR was similar to when the young driver was on his team. Right out of the box, he was fast, Stewart added. Ricky was one of those guys when he started, that he either won the race or he brought back a steering wheel because that was the only thing that was straight and not crashed. We saw very, very early ... that he had a ton of talent. You like guys that you have to pull the reins back a little bit. And watching him last year and especially the last two years, two years ago he was wrecking stock cars like he was wrecking our sprint cars. But you started to see toward the end of the year that he started picking it up and then all of last year it was like a light switch had kicked on and he figured it out. Barrichello boosts KV Racing and IndyCar Series SEBRING, Fla. Rubens Barrichello talks modestly about the expectations he has for his first season in the IndyCar Series and when he says there will be an adjustment period and potential struggles, he sounds rather believable. Then he gets in the car. Barrichello marked his first test as an official IndyCar driver with the third-fastest lap in Thursdays afternoon session at Sebring International Raceway. Although his lap of 52.2228 trailed series champions Scott Dixon and Franchitti in the session, it was the sixth-fastest over three full days of testing this week. And it reiterated what everyone already knows: the Brazilian is still very, very fast. He showed that last month when best friend Kanaan lured him to Sebring to spend a few days on track with his KV Racing team. Barrichello had spent the last 19 years in Formula One had never before been in an IndyCar and wound up faster than Kanaan in Kanaans car. The invitation to test was a trap of sorts set by Kanaan, who figured

Dan Wheldon
And now, the last time I was here, it was to bury him. When I lost my dad, I always had the illusion that eventually it will go away and Ive learned it never will. Same with Dan. Wheldons fatality was the first in a major racing series since NASCAR lost Dale Earnhardt in the 2001 season-opening Daytona 500. NASCAR raced the very next weekend. But Wheldons death came in the season finale and the inability to get right back on the race track made the mourning period more difficult for some. Its been the longest offseason of my life. Our offseason is too long anyway without having that happen, Marco Andretti said. It was definitely a tough one. Were all going to be driving St. Pete with heavy hearts. The way I persevere and keep going is I look at Dan as a competitor he was a competitor so were going to show up and compete. The accident has amped up safety discussions and came in the final race for IndyCars old car. The new model, named the Dallara DW12 because Wheldon helped develop it all of last year, will debut in the opener and has been billed as a safer car with improved technology. I feel safe in this car, its designed to be safer. Safe in the cockpit, safer for racing, especially with the side pod that we have to prevent this type of scenario of the car flying and interlocked wheels, said Helio Castroneves. We always have to remember that our sport is a dangerous sport. We cant forget that and there is always some risk factor. But at this point, Im safe and I believe that the drivers feel pretty much the same way. Still, the debate over pack racing continued, with a focus on the June 9 race at Texas Motor Speedway.

FORT WORTH, Texas Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has gone step-by-

step in racing. There were the go-karts as a kid, then midget and sprint cars for Tony Stewarts team before going to ARCA. Once he became a fulltime NASCAR Nationwide driver, Stenhouse was the top rookie in 2010 and followed that up with a series championship last season. The natural progression would next take Stenhouse to NASCARs highest level on a regular basis. But not just yet for the up-andcoming driver. Honestly, we need to win another (Nationwide) championship but I feel like to make it successful, I think we need to win at least six races, said Stenhouse, who won twice last season. I wanted to stay in Nationwide again and learn some more. While there was some talk about a Sprint Cup ride with Roush Fenway Racing this season I think Jack (Roush) was kind of pushing for it but things fell through, Stenhouse said the 24-year-old driver felt that wasnt ever really close. He always felt hed be running Nationwide fulltime this season as the defending champion. Thats definitely what I wanted to do, he said. In November, after we were done in Homestead, I made that clear that thats what I wanted to do and told them that I wasnt putting any pressure on them to run full-time Cup in 2012. Stenhouse got a memorable first Daytona 500 experience last month in the No. 6 car, finishing every lap and in 20th place in the prime-time Monday night race that included the blown-up jet dryer. The Mississippi native isnt sure what other Cup races he might run this season but his focus is on the Nationwide Series. The difficulty of acquiring sponsorship money in a tough economy certainly contributed to Stenhouse not yet making the full-time move to NASCARs top level. But Stenhouse knows hes still got plenty to learn in stock cars anyway. I can tell you everything about a sprint car but theres so many parts on these stock cars that Im still not 100 percent familiar with, he added. Ive been learning what I need for the race car to go fast. Now I want to learn the setups and things that like. I want to be able to

Barrichello would enjoy the experience enough to make the leap to IndyCar He was correct, and the wheels were put in motion immediately after to line up the funding for KV Racing to sign Barrichello. The deal was put together in just over a month, announced last week, and Barrichello is now an official IndyCar Series driver. The ripple effect has been huge for everyone involved: KV Racing, which signed Kanaan the week before last years season-opener, continued its push to become one of the top teams in IndyCar and the Barrichello signing gave the organization an impressive 3-car lineup. Kanaan, winless last year, gained a teammate who will push him to up his game while E.J. Viso earned a highly-regarded mentor. The IndyCar Series attracted an extremely popular driver (Barrichellos nearly 1.5 million followers on Twitter are more than all of NASCARs championship contenders last year combined) and ticket sales rocketed for the April 29 race in Sao Paulo the moment Barrichello announced he was joining the series. Barrichello gives immediate credibility to the drivers and their push to have a stronger voice in the series. He spent the last two seasons in Formula One as head of the Grand Prix Drivers Association and is willing to get involved with IndyCars driver issues. Hes not ready just yet, though, to comment on the ongoing public dispute between IndyCars drivers and Texas Motor Speedway over the construction of the fences at the high-banked oval. Drivers are pushing IndyCar hard to eliminate the pack racing that contributed to Wheldons fatal accident but many also believe Texas fence is too dangerous because, like the one at Las Vegas, the posts are on the inside of the track. Barrichello said Thursday he doesnt know enough about the issue to comment yet and wants to see the fences, the track and experience the banking before he forms an opinion. But he does understand how to solve disputes. His availability was sudden and came in January, when Williams gave his F1 seat to fellow Brazilian Bruno Senna. Even though he turns 40 the week hell make his debut in the Indianapolis 500, retirement didnt interest him. He brought his two young sons to that first test at Sebring and has repeatedly cited their enthusiasm as one of the reasons a move to IndyCar was appealing. That enthusiasm is shared at KV Racing, which is winless since joining IndyCar in 2008 and hasnt won since the final event in Champ Car history in that same year. Kanaans addition upped the teams performance last year he was third in his debut race last year, had three podium finishes and finished fifth in the championship standings and Barrichello now brings his vast experience to the program.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, MARCH 11, 2012 The times ahead could become very busy for you, when you simultaneously involve yourself in several endeavors. As long as you dont get overwhelmed, youll have fun becoming successful. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -The moment you get your prospects nodding in agreement with you, stop pushing. Youre a pretty good salesperson, but even you can oversell and cause your customers to run for cover. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Watch your wallet when hanging out with a friend who seems to think of your resources as being his or hers, as well. This manipulator might put the bite on you once again. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- When it comes to dealings with a close associate, take nothing for granted. Unless agreements are put in writing, you might mean one thing while your pal means something else entirely. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A close friend whom you help all the time might be looking the other way when you need his or her assistance. Learn from this and dont forget the moral of the story. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Dont fight the tide if a friend who usually backs you up decides to side with another. This person might find him or herself in a position where he or she has no other choice. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It might be brave, but it may also be stupid to single-handedly champion an unpopular cause. There might be a good reason why everyone is against the notion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you discover that someone hasnt been as frank or honest with you as youve been with him or her, from here on in youd better be extremely selective of what you tell this person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Stand up for your rights if and when you feel you are getting a raw deal, especially when it involves something important. If you silence your voice, the other person wins. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Owing to a great divergence of opinion, forming a partnership might be a hindrance rather than a help to you. In order to be effective, your aims must be in harmony with your cohorts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Just because you were lucky in the past in terms of getting someone to take care of something that you should have seen to yourself, it doesnt mean that you will be so fortunate again. Use your own elbow grease. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something that starts out to be lighthearted could take on a serious nature and will no longer be fun, if youre not careful. Dont allow competitiveness to enter the picture. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your usual good judgment might not be up to snuff, so when it comes to career matters, you should proceed with caution. You could be trumped if you mistakenly think you have all the aces. MONDAY, March 12, 2012 Because youll be extremely capable of realizing an ambitious objective, the progress that youre looking for can be made in the year ahead, albeit with a bit of hard work and a lot of effort on your part. Move onward and upward, and dont stint the elbow grease. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- An interesting development could occur that would elevate your hopes and expectations. Just because something sounds too good to be true doesnt mean that it lacks potential. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Give money matters top priority, because this could be one of those rare days when you can effortlessly reach your financial goals and fatten your bank account in the process. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Meaningful projects that you personally direct have excellent chances for success. Apply your best efforts toward getting what you really want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Most of the time, it is unwise to rely totally on your hunches while ignoring your logic. Today, though, could be one of those rare exceptions when you wont want to discount your intuition. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -If a face-to-face meeting concerning an important involvement with another becomes necessary, dont use a surrogate, even if you think that person could do a better job. You need to handle this in person if you want the credit that will eventually come. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont be afraid if you get drawn into a competitive involvement that has rather high emotional or financial stakes. Youll come out ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your optimistic outlook will be one of your greatest assets. Youll use it effectively to further your personal interests by minimizing all insignificant negatives. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Persons will be supportive when you get them to understand how they can benefit from a collective involvement. Spell everything out without holding back any of the details. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -This can be a better than usual day for negotiating important agreements. The key to success will be ensuring that a project yields equal benefit to all parties involved. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Financial trends look unusually positive, especially regarding dealings in which youre personally prepared to work hard for what you hope to get. Think big. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If there is someone of the opposite gender whom youre desirous of impressing, dont come on too strong. In fact, be a bit standoffish and try to let him or her make the first move. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont hesitate to press for a close if theres an important matter that you want to wrap up. Its one of those days when you could get exactly what you want.

Restaurant review goes viral

FARGO, N.D. (AP) A North Dakota newspaper columnist sat down to review her towns hot new Italian restaurant, rhapsodizing about the chicken Alfredo, crisp greens and two long, warm breadsticks. But because the restaurant was the Olive Garden, Marilyn Hagertys earnest assessment swiftly became an Internet sensation, drawing comments both sincere and sarcastic from food bloggers and others. For the 85-yearold Hagerty, the response was bewildering and it threatened to make her late for a bridge game. Hagertys column in the Grand Forks Herald focuses on local food, and in North Dakota that means chain restaurants that are shunned by big-city food critics. Shes reviewed Ruby Tuesday, Pizza Ranch, Applebees and Country Kitchen. Even fast-food joints such as KFC, Qdoba and Subway have undergone scrutiny. But it was her unfailingly polite prose about the Olive Garden complete with a detailed description of the bustling waiters that catapulted her to online stardom, at least briefly. At length, I asked my server what she would recommend, Hagerty wrote in the column called Eatbeat published Wednesday. She suggested chicken Alfredo, and I went with that. Instead of the raspberry lemonade she suggested, I drank water. The Olive Garden is the largest and most beautiful restaurant now operating in Grand Forks, she concluded. It attracts visitors from out of town as well as people who live here. By Friday morning, her appraisal had received more than 290,000 hits on the newspapers website. The second most-read story a report about the University of North Dakotas Fighting Sioux nickname got a mere 5,500 views. I do not get it, Hagerty said Friday. I mean, Im sitting here minding my own business yesterday morning, trying to get my Friday column finished off so I could go play bridge. And all of a sudden, all hell breaks loose. Within hours of appearing, the piece was spreading rapidly across the Web. Residents of Grand Forks, N.D., are lining up for blocks to enjoy a one-of-a-kind

Cancer
(Continued from page 1) it off. I never thought about cancer until my dad told me about a family friend. He had a couple auto accidents and they found out his cancer had spread but it was too late. He had never reported the symptoms and by the time they caught it, he was only given a couple months to live. With Holdgreve, because the organ in question produces testosterone, hormonal changes were brought on that caused another symptom. So, that night I was laying on the bed reading to my daughter. She put her head on my chest and it felt like someone stuck a piece of glass in my nipple. I found out later it was because of increased estrogen when a test came back like I was pregnant, he said. The next day, I Googled the symptoms and testicular cancer came up. So, I called my doctor immediately. He got me in right away and sent me for an ultrasound. Then, he called me and said it looked like cancer. He referred me to The James Cancer Research Hospital here in Columbus. Most of the time, testicular cancer means removal. I had a fantastic surgeon and it went well. I was very lucky; in only about a three-week period I went from pain to diagnoses to recovery. Holdgreve never experienced any swelling or lumps; he said he felt fine through the entire process. The surgery only involved a three-inch incision and he didnt even have to have stitches removed. It was an outpatient procedure that had him home for dinner the same day. Holdgreve and his family, wife Brooke and three children, have resumed life much like it was before his diagnosis but with a mission he didnt have before. After the surgery, I was sitting in the doctors office and the first questions I asked him were how did this happen and why? He said he didnt know, except that I was 34 and white. Those are the two major risk factors; I didnt have a family history but my two boys now do, so they are more at risk. I wanted to do something, so I started the Web site. I found out theres no funding for testicular cancer research and no awareness programs at The James. It offers thousands of programs and over 200-andsome research grants but not for testicular cancer. For information, visit tcare. org or bowlingfortheboyz.com

European dining experience that finally puts the city on the culinary map with its unique brand of Tuscany refinery, mocked the news website Fark. Its called The Olive Garden. But this is what Hagerty does. She writes five columns a week, and they are all this sort of this very direct, nononsense approach to whats going on, said Mike Jacobs, publisher of the newspaper. She has her detractors, but shes very popular. Shes a real asset to the Herald. Its not the first thrill created by an Olive Garden opening in North Dakota. Back in 2008, when construction began on a location in Bismarck, it was front-page news in the Bismarck Tribune. Hagerty said she was surprised by the reaction. She called her son, Wall Street Journal reporter Bob Hagerty, to ask what it meant to go viral. She acknowledged that some bloggers were making fun of her, but said she has received dozens of emails from people defending her, too. Hagerty, whose late husband, Jack, was the longtime editor of the Herald, has been writing for the paper for six decades. She estimates shes done more than 1,500 restaurant reviews. And when shes found the cuisine to be terrible, she skips the review. Thats the way her bosses want it, she said. Its just sort of a way of life for me, to go out and eat, she said, adding that she pays for all her meals. Tom Sietsema, food critic for The Washington Post and a Minnesota native, said Hagerty need not apologize for her choice of restaurants. Heres what I think. People poke fun of the Olive Garden. But, hey, if thats what the people there are talking about, thats theirs. She is covering news, Sietsema said. He did have one complaint about the review, and it came with a chuckle. Marilyn didnt try any other entrees. She based this whole review on one dish, and she didnt even bother to have a lemonade. She did not do a thorough job, Sietsema said. The restaurant could not have paid for such intense publicity, he added, calling this Olive Gardens lucky day.
