Anti-bullying
begins at home
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
From the Columbine High
School shootings to more
recent teen suicides, bullying
at school has played a signifi-
cant role in many adolescent
tragedies. Educators’ effort
to teach civility in addition
to math and reading may be
no more than supplemental
to parents’ example at home.
According to one clinical psy-
chologist, it’s important for
parents to accept differences
of race, orientation, gender,
religion and beyond so chil-
dren embrace diversity.
“People are often afraid
of anyone who is different
than they are, so becoming
comfortable with differences
is important. Parents can still
teach their children to accept
others at a theoretical level,
even if they don’t live in a
diverse environment, so kids
become more accepting,” said
Dr. Glen Strobel of Applied
Psychological Services in
Lima.
Exposing children to phys-
ical and/or verbal aggression
or even being critical of one-
self can send them unhealthy
messages. Though subtle,
these things can trickle down
to children teasing each other
over personal preferences on
the playground. Parents set-
ting a negative example can
also contribute to a larger
cultural problem.
“There is a culture of bully-
ing and we can do something
about it,” Strobel said. “Some
children are more likely to
bully based on hereditary
and psychological factors —
that’s the part we can do the
least about. However, we can
do something about the cul-
ture of bullying and how we
respond to specific incidents
of bullying and the individu-

Storm had role in deaths, Ohio airports keep on
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Ohio may not have seen the
worst from the winter storm
that clobbered the upper
Midwest with snow and
strong winds.
The National Weather
Service says parts of north-
east Ohio could receive 2
feet or more of additional
snow by Tuesday night. The
forecasters say wind gusts
of up to 45 mph will cause
drifting of snow and reduced
visibility.

Funeral held
for Marine
killed in combat
AKRON (AP) — An Ohio
Marine killed in combat in
Afghanistan was eulogized as
a hero and an all-American
kid at a memorial service.
The service was held
Sunday in Akron, the home-
town of 25-year-old Cpl.
Derek A. Wyatt. He was
killed Dec. 6, one day before
his wife delivered their son.
Akron Mayor Donald
Plusquellic spoke at the ser-
vice and called Wyatt “an all-
American kid.” He says Wyatt
was willing to give his life for
his country.
The Akron Beacon Journal
reports Wyatt will be buried at
Arlington National Cemetery.
Sick children
taken on North
Pole ‘flight’
CLEVELAND (AP) —
What was billed as a flight to
the North Pole never left the
ground, but that didn’t matter
to about 50 children and their
families in Cleveland.
Most of the kids who took
part in the weekend adventure
at Hopkins airport were ail-
ing patients from two hospi-
tals. Many had never been on
board an airplane.
The Plain Dealer reports
they were guided onto a
Continental Airlines jet
Saturday by elves wearing
candy cane-striped tights and
green, curly toed shoes.
Crew members lowered the
shades inside the cabin so the
inside lights wouldn’t hurt the
eyes of reindeer. And then, the
engines roared for the “jour-
ney.”
The children deplaned to
find Santa, Christmas trees
and gifts, all part of a tradition
that began several years ago.
Final election results released
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Republican John Kasich
defeated Democratic Gov.
Ted Strickland by 2 percent-
age points in the Nov. 2 elec-
tion, according to final results
in Ohio.
Secretary of State Jennifer
Brunner released the results
Friday after the state’s coun-
ties conducted official can-
vasses to update the unofficial
totals from Election Day, The
Columbus Dispatch reported.
That process includes count-
ing valid provisional and out-
standing absentee ballots.
Kasich won 49.04 percent
of the vote and Strickland got
47.04 percent.
The final count confirms
that Strickland underper-
formed in Democratic coun-
ties where he needed a big
turnout to win, The Dispatch
reported.
In Cuyahoga County,
Strickland won 84,000 fewer
votes than he did in 2006.
Strickland lost by 77,133
votes statewide.
Tax deal
(Continued from page 1A)
extending breaks to estates as
large as $5 million. He said
the package will be taken up
in the House in some form,
but there would be an effort
to change the estate tax pro-
vision.
“We’re not talking about
blocking the whole thing,”
Van Hollen said.
At the insistence of
Republicans, the plan includes
a more generous estate tax
provision: The first $5 mil-
lion of a couple’s estate could
pass to heirs without taxation,
and an additional $5 million
for the spouse. The balance
would be subject to a 35 per-
cent tax rate.
That provision infuriated
Democrats who are already
unhappy with Obama for
agreeing to extend tax cuts
Non-profits concerned
about bingo revenues
The Associated Press
Nonprofit groups in Ohio
that benefit from operat-
ing bingo games are seeing
declining revenues.
Figures submitted to the
Ohio Attorney General’s
office show that bingo par-
lors statewide made about
$142.2 million in 2009 from
traditional bingo and instant
games — down 28 percent
from $196.7 million in 2006,
the Media Network of Central
Ohio reported.
Many nonprofits that oper-
ate bingo parlors, including
Veterans of Foreign Wars
posts, point to the economy
as one reason for the slump
in revenue.
“Right now nobody is gen-
erating a lot of income for
anything,” said Bob Funk,

Payroll tax cut worries

plan to cut payroll taxes for

Social Security is funded
by a 6.2 percent payroll tax on
the first $106,800 earned by a
worker. The tax is matched
by employers. The package
negotiated by Obama would
reduce the tax paid by work-
ers to 4.2 percent for 2011.
Employer rates would stay
unchanged.

“Working families will like-

The payroll tax cut is part
of a larger package negoti-
ated by Obama and GOP law-
makers to extend a sweeping
array of Bush era tax cuts
that expire at the end of the
month. Some Democratic
lawmakers have balked at the
plan, saying it is tilted too
much in favor of the rich.
The payroll tax cut would

er earning a wage. It would

Lady Green crushes Pirates
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE — The game
was only close for a short
while.
Ottoville then turned it into
a rout.
The Lady Big Green used
strong shooting and a balanced
attack to bash Bluffton 82-35
in girls cage action
Saturday afternoon
at L.W. Heckman
Gymnasium.
“We’re more
relaxed offensively
now. We started the
season with high
expectations and I think we
were too tight and press-
ing,” Ottoville mentor Dave
Kleman noted. “We’ve got a
lot of girls that can shoot and
score and they are starting to
get comfortable. That makes
us tougher to guard when you
can be more balanced offen-
sively.”
The game was only tied
once — 3-3 in the early going
— before the Lady Green (4-1)
turned up the pressure with its
full-court defense, holding the
Lady Pirates (1-4) to one more
fielder and a free throw in
the final seven minutes of the
period. The Green and Gold
shot 10-of-19 shots (30-of-61
overall, 10-of-22 3-pointers,
for 49.2%) as junior Lauren
Kramer (19 counters — 6
treys) netted six and senior
Tasha Kaufman (18 points,
8 rebounds, 4 assists) five.
Senior Kari Beining (14 mark-
ers, 5 assists, 3 thefts) laid one
in with 20 ticks left to push the
Ottoville lead at 24-6.
Kramer exploded for 10
markers — three more 3s —
in the second period and junior
Lauren Koch (10 counters)
added six as the Big Green
continued to build onto to its
lead. The lead ballooned to
45-18 when Kramer’s 3-ball
from the right corner found
home with 12 ticks to go.
Ottoville’s defense main-
tained its stellar play into the
third period and their lead
continued to mushroom. This
time, it was Beining who car-
ried the offensive load, drop-
ping in 12 markers (2 triples)
in the canto. Ottoville domi-
nated on the glass as well 13-3
(38-33 overall, 16-14 offen-
sive) and carried a 67-24 bulge
into the fourth as Kramer beat
the horn with a trey from the
right side.
The Green and Gold emp-
tied its bench as the fourth
COLLEGE ROUNDUP
Racers split pair of cage games
LIMA — The University
of Northwestern Ohio basket-
ball teams split a pair of games
versus UM-Dearborn Saturday
afternoon at “The Garage”.
The Lady Racers dominated
the second half in romping past
Dearborn 75-54.
After battling for supremacy
throughout the first half, with
the Racers (7-6, 2-2 Wolverine-
Hoosier Athletic Conference))
taking a 28-23 lead, Dearborn
battled back to tie it at 31-31
on a putback basket by Ashley
Fausneaucht (4 blocks, 3 steals)
with 16:51 to go. Two free
throws by Amanda Francis at
15:53 gave the hosts the lead for
good. They spent the rest of the
second half expanding their lead
until the final buzzer.
UNOH canned 28-of-70 from
the field (7-of-27 from deep) for
40.0 percent and 12-of-22 at the
line (54.5%). Francis led four
players in twin digits with 18,
while Alexa Kennedy added 14,
Ashley Rothney 13 and Molly
French 10 (3 steals). They con-
trolled 49 boards (11 offensive)
as Francis had eight (along
with 9 assists and 5 thefts) and
Kennedy (4 assists) and Rothney
seven each. Amanda Henry
blocked three shots.
UM-Dearborn (2-10, 0-4
WHAC) connected on 20-of-62
fielders (6-of-14 trios) for 32.3
percent and 8-of-11 free throws
(72.7%). Jackie Hood topped
the scoring with 18 markers (8
caroms) and Katie Roberts 16
(4 assists).
On the men’s side, Dearborn
led by as much as 10 in the first
half before the Racers rallied
to take a 13-point lead at the
18:34 mark of the second half
on a 3-point by Isaac Bowers (14
markers, 4 assists). Dearborn tied
the game at 51-51 on a 3-pointer
by Jordan Redditt (team-high 25
points, 5 assists). From then on,
the biggest lead was four.
Jake Bolyard (game-high 29
points, including 7-of-12 beyond
the arc) gave the Racers a 75-all
tie on a triple with 1:52 remain-
ing. After fruitless trips down the
court, Redditt gave the visitors a
77-75 lead on a layup with eight
ticks left. The Racers called two
timeouts to set up a play but a
Monday, December 13, 2010
ensued and Kaufman netted
eight of the team’s 15 in the
canto.
Bluffton shot a lowly
13-of-49 (3-of-14 long range)
for 26.5 percent and 6-of-10
singles (60%). Molly Lengyel
(7 boards) led the scoring
with 13 and Sami Harrod
added a trio of triples. Sierra
Amstutz grabbed eight boards
and Mariah Welch six
assists. They compiled
19 errors and 15 fouls.
Ottoville finished
12-of-22 at the stripe
(54.5%). Sophomore
Abby Siefker grabbed
10 boards and added six
blocked shots and three assists.
Classmate Nicole Vorst tacked
on five thefts and sophomore
Rachel Turnwald three. They
had a mere four errors and
13 fouls and visit Bath 6 p.m.
Tuesday.
“We’re getting better. We
still have a lot of young girls
we’re playing,” Kleman added.
“We build from our defense
and we’re playing very well
there. I’m trying to build depth
for later in the season and in
the tournament.”
In the junior varsity clash,
Ottoville remained unbeaten
(5-0) with a 60-22 rout of the
Lady Pirates.
Taylor Mangas netted 15,
Rachel Beining 14 and Rachel
Turnwald 11 for the hosts.
Ashey Baker, Bailey Prichard
and Kayla Flinn countered
with six.

Jefferson girls cagers stay unbeaten
By AUSTIN CLARKSON
The Delphos Herald
austinclarkson_24@
hotmail.com
DELPHOS — The
Jefferson girls basketball
team took on non-league foe
Kalida Saturday afternoon at
Jefferson High School, and
jumped out to an early first-
quarter lead and cruised its
way to a 46-29 victory.
The home team Wildcats
grabbed an 11-4 lead after the
first eight minutes and then
put it away with a 15-2 third
period.
Both teams struggled to
take care of the basketball
early Saturday afternoon and
neither team really gained an
advantage from each others’
mistakes.
The home team struggled
shooting the ball for most of
the entirety of the contest but
their pressure up front on the
Kalida guards really was the
difference-maker.
The Lady Jeffcats took
advantage of the inability of
the LadyCats’ lack of ball-
handling and decision-mak-
ing with the ball when facing
full-court pressure. Jefferson
got a lot of easy layups off
those turnovers, especially in
the third quarter that turned a
slim 18-17 margin to a 33-19
bulge at the end of three quar-
ters.
Leading the way for the
host Wildcats offensively was
junior Kennedy Boggs, who
netted 18 points in the vic-
tory, including six free throws
that were crucial in the clos-
ing minutes of the contest.
Kristen Klausing also was in
double digits as she added 13
points.
Junior Nikki Kaufman led
the LadyCats with 10 mark-
ers and nine rebounds. Julia
Vandemark added seven
points and five boards.

Bluffton started the second
half with a Daman trifecta, cut-
ting the deficit to six points
at 28-22. The Grizzlies slow-
ly started to pull away from
Bluffton once again, reclaim-
ing their 12-point spread at
the 16:22 mark with a Krista
Schott layup.
With the Beavers trailing
47-39, Franklin went on a 7-0
spurt over the next five min-
utes and took a 54-39 lead
after two Krista Beaman free
throws. The home team never
looked back en route to a 57-45
shutdown of Bluffton.
Stegmaier, a junior, was one
of two Beavers in double fig-
ures with 12 points and five
rebounds. Fellow junior Rachel
Daman dropped in 12 points on
3-of-4 shooting from behind the
arc. She also pulled down four
rebounds. Sophomore Lauren
Hutton collected a game-high
12 caroms to go along with her
eight markers, while.
Bluffton hit just 15-of-52
shots from the field (28.8 per-
cent), but Franklin was not
much better at 19-of-54 (35.2
percent). The Beavers struggled
mightily at the line, convert-
ing only 10-of-22 freebies for
45.5 percent, while the home
team cashed in on 17-of-24
attempts from the stripe (70.8
percent). Franklin finished with
two more rebounds (43-41) and
one less turnover (15-14) than
the Beavers. The home team
handed out six more dimes than
Bluffton (11-5).

Grizzlies wasted no time in
responding, bolting to a 15-8
lead on the strength of four
Zach Merschbrock points.
An 8-2 Bluffton spurt that
was powered by a pair of
hoops from junior post Brent
Farley (Lima/Shawnee) closed
the gap to a single point but
Franklin pushed the spread
back to five points (23-18) on
the heels of a Gunner Erwin
dunk. Farley and sopho-
more Josh Fisher (Rockford/
Parkway) both scored, making
it 23-22 before the home team
ended the stanza with an 8-4
push which made the score
31-26 at the break.
Although Bluffton convert-
ed nine free throws during the
opening stages of the second
half, the Beavers hit just one shot
from the field in the first 9:15 of
period two. A 3-point play by
Franklin standout Will Conoley
made it 47-37 at the 11:08 mark.
Mychal Hill (London/Jonathan
Alder) dropped in 10 straight
for Bluffton but the Grizzlies
kept pace for a 59-49 advantage
with 6:43 to play in the game.
The home team continued to
answer each Bluffton score as
the Grizzlies improved to 2-2
in the Heartland Conference
with a 74-62 win. Bluffton
managed just eight baskets in

DC’s rally turned away by
Hanover in closing seconds
DEFIANCE — Defiance
College used a 14-4 charge to
erase a 10-point deficit in the
closing moments of Saturday’s
Heartland Collegiate Athletic
Conference showdown with
Hanover but a Panther hoop
with five seconds remaining
spoiled the comeback and sent
DC to the 80-78 defeat.
The Panthers entered play
on Saturday ranked last in the
HCAC in 3-point field goal
percentage with a 26.8-per-
cent clip but HC had its sights
set from beyond the arc on
Saturday with Grant Pangallo
sinking his first three triples of
the day and a Ryan Nowicki
trey opening up a 17-10 lead
for HC out of the gates.
Defiance answered by
scoring 11 straight points and
15-of-17 to build a 25-19 cush-
ion, before two more Hanover
shots from downtown found
their mark to force a 25-25
tie. The Jackets would claim
a 33-31 edge, but a Mike Cass
jumper with six seconds to play
That set the stage for the
frantic finish as a 4-point play
from Wolfrum ignited the
final charge from Defiance
and trimmed the margin to six.
