COLUMBUS (AP) — A
recovering economy brought
Ohio’s 11th straight month of
falling unemployment and its
biggest monthly increase in
hiring in more than a decade,
officials said Friday as a state
report paralleled a decrease in
unemployment nationwide.
Ohio employers other than
farms added 31,900 workers
to their payrolls in January,
the largest gain in a single
month since 1999, said Ben
Johnson, a spokesman for the
Ohio Department of Job and
Family Services.
Service providers, espe-
cially professional and busi-
ness services, led the hiring
surge, which Johnson said
was typical in an economy
coming out of a recession.
Jeanne Farmer, Ohio
regional director for the
staffing services company
Manpower Inc., said employ-
ers are turning to compa-
nies to such as hers because
they’re being “cautiously
optimistic.”
“Sometimes they will use
temporary associates because
they want to see if the recov-
ery is going to hold,” Farmer
said.
Other industries that
saw job gains in Ohio dur-
ing January included utili-
ties, health care, and leisure
and hospitality. Government
was the big loser, with pub-
lic employment shrinking by
1,200 jobs.
The state’s unemployment
rate for the month slipped
to 9.4 percent, down from
a revised 9.5 percent in
December. Joblessness has
declined each month since
February 2010, when it stood
at the highest level in more
than a quarter century, said
Johnson, who noted that last
year’s high has been revised
to 10.6 percent, down from
the previously reported 11
percent.
The number of work-
ers unemployed in Ohio in
January was 551,000, down
from 560,000 in December,
the Department of Job and
Family Services reported. The

DELPHOS — In July
2006, Judy and Vern
Fischer went on vacation.
Instead of heading south to
the tropics or boarding a
cruise ship, they flew to
Anchorage, Alaska. From
there, they embarked on a
trip that would showcase
the state’s beauty and native
history.
Judy Fischer delivered
a program detailing her
10-day trip to the nation’s
largest state Monday night
at the Delphos Public
Library.
“We went with my broth-
er, Fr. Herb Weber, and his
friend, Fr. Mike Brown. We

booked lodging beforehand
and mostly stayed in bed
and breakfasts,” said Judy
Fischer. “We didn’t visit
Juneau or Sitka. We flew
from Detroit to Anchorage
and then rented a car and
drove to Seward and the
Kenai Peninsula and then
to Denali and then to
Fairbanks and came back
to Anchorage. We learned a
lot about the native people,
the gold rush and got to see
the pipeline.”
Fischer said Native
Alaskan culture was one of
the most interesting things
they learned about.
“There are, I think, 11
distinct native cultures in
Alaska and what distin-
guishes them from each
other is the differences in
the languages they speak,”
she said. “There were areas
where you could see the
mixing of the native culture
and the Russian Orthodox
religion and it was really
neat to see the blending.
The natives were first dis-
covered to be there in the
1600s, but we know they
had to be there for a long
time before that. Then the
Russians came in the 1800s
and brought their religion.
You can see graveyards
outside Russian Orthodox
churches where natives
buried their loved ones.
Because they had no written
language, they marked their
graves with spirit houses,
which they painted with
Vern and Judy Fischer stand under the Alaskan Pipeline.
“We were talk-
ing to this one
native man and he
mentioned he was
about to leave for
vacation. I told
him ‘well, we’re
here on vaca-
tion, so where are
you going?’ and
he said ‘the real
Alaska.’ He meant
the wild parts, the
ones you can only
reach by plane
or dog sled.”
— Judy Fischer
they saw were, as Fischer
put it, tourist traps.
“We went to a gold mine
and got to pan for gold,”
she said. “It was definitely
a tourist-trap type of attrac-
tion but it was fun and it
did give us a good idea of
Photos submitted
the history of the Alaskan
gold rush. The wildlife was
neat to see, too, mostly in
Denali. There were bald
eagles and otters, seals. The
main cause of car wrecks in
Alaska is moose. They’re
also the cause of dog sled
wrecks.”
Fischer said they drove
around the state for 10 days
but barely got a glimpse of
the massive piece of land.
“The state is so vast that
each person who lives there
could have their own square
mile of land if you spaced
them out,” she said. “We
were there in the summer,
so when we landed at mid-
night it was like dusk. When
we connected with my hus-
band’s cousin who lives up
there, we were sitting on
their deck at 11 p.m. wear-
ing sunglasses. Likewise
in the winter, there’s only
depression and suicide there
during the winter because
of seasonal depression.
Sometimes Fairbanks gets
to -40 degrees and the har-
diness of the people is really
amazing. Even if it’s -40
out, they’ll bundle up and
go do what they need to.”

Second Chances

Delphos quilters honor organ donors

BY RACHEL LEWIS
Lifeline of Ohio
The American quilt has, for
generations, captured the spirit
and emotions of its creators.
An art form born of necessity,
the modern quilt has become a
vehicle for interpreting our con-
nection between the past and
present.
The Donate Life community
honors that connection through
the creation of patchwork quilts.
Hundreds of quilts have been
made by organ procurement
organizations across the coun-
try to memorialize the individu-
als who have passed on the
“Gift of Life” to others through
organ and tissue donation.
Many of them have been
made right here in Delphos,
Ohio.
In 1998, Joanie Nijak and
Lois Neumeier of the Black
Swamp Quilters connected
with Lifeline of Ohio, the non-
profit promoting organ and
tissue donation in central and
southeastern Ohio, at the Canal
Days quilt show.
“A representative asked if
we’d be willing to make quilts to
honor donors,” said Neumeier.
“She said it was their dream to
have quilts made.”
Nijak and Neumeier, who
Joanie Nijak, left, and Lois Neumeier pose with the “Shine On” quilt they completed have more than 70 years of
in 2011. quilting experience between
them, agreed to help with the
project and created four quilts
in their first year. The quilts
were a labor of love for the
sisters-in-law, who volunteered
their time and acquired donated
materials from local Wal-Mart
stores for the project.
Donor families created the
memory squares, including pic-
tures of their loved ones or
quotes and symbols that were
important to them. Neumeier
and Nijak weave dozens of
squares together for each quilt,
making every panel unique.
“It’s amazing to see the peo-
ple who have donated,” said
Neumeier.
The quilt project is espe-
cially important to Neumeier,
whose mother, Celeste
Broecker, received a kidney
transplant in 1998. Broecker
lived eight more years thanks
to a deceased donor, a gift her
family cherishes. By volunteer-
ing her time to create quilts that
honor donors, Neumeier pays
that gift forward.
In the past 13 years, Nijak
and Neumeier have made 11
quilts for Lifeline of Ohio.
Nijak moved to Indiana in 2004
but the two still work together,
estimating that each quilt takes
three months to complete.
“It’s an honor and a privi-
lege to be able to do this to
make people more aware of
organ donation,” said Nijak.
Though Lifeline of Ohio’s
quilts feature donors from cen-
tral and southeastern Ohio, they
travel from the coast to coast
and are so popular, at least one
is on display somewhere every
day of the year. “We’re hoping
people really appreciate them,”
said Neumeier.
Donor memorial quilts can
be requested for community
events and are provided free
of charge. To request a quilt

THOUGHT
My friends Kelly and Eric
are having a couples baby
shower today. This got me
thinking about pregnancy and
childbirth and all that fun
stuff. Where do I start?
My first pregnancy was a
“surprise.” I took six e.p.t.s to
be sure, assuming the whole
shipment must be defective.
It wasn’t.
Once I accepted the reality,
I loved being pregnant. It was
an absolute calm, a serenity
I’d never experienced before.
I had never enjoyed walk-
ing into places alone, like a
bar or restaurant to meet a
friend. When I was pregnant
it didn’t bother me – it was
like I wasn’t alone. I delight-
ed in feeling the baby kicks
from inside me. I’d lie for
hours just feeling my protrud-
ing belly, wondering what
she looked like as she karate
chopped in there.
As much as I cherished
being pregnant, I also hated
being pregnant. I was just
one giant mood swing. I
cried. Every day. At diaper
commercials. Radio com-
mercials. Songs about babies.
Billboards. Pants I could no
longer wear. You name it. I
was a weepy, sobby, not-hot
mess (although people said I
glowed).
I did not feel attractive
as a pregnant woman. I felt
dumpy. The maternity cloth-
ing selection out there does
not help. I don’t believe
women prefer to draw more
attention to this shape by
tying big bows around it
and generally attempting to
look like a real, live wedding
fun stuff
cake.
Which brings me to the
nausea. Oh, the nausea.
“Morning sickness” is a load
of crap, for one thing. It’s
“all day sickness.” Crackers
and ginger ale were my best
friends.
Once it became clear that
the end was near and the
panic set in, I also had the
accompanying “nesting,”
as people call it. The night
before I gave birth, I made
enough food from scratch for
my entire apartment com-
plex. And this from a girl
who lives on Top Ramen. I
didn’t understand but I guess
what they say is true about
“nesting.” And I hate birds.
Making all that food
apparently set the labor into
motion. Contractions are no
joke. I wanted to kill peo-
ple. Really. Especially the
nurse who, when I was hav-
ing Adele, didn’t manage to
acquire the anesthesiologist
in time so Adele, much to my
horrific dismay, was all natu-
ral. Those moms who say
you forget all about the pain
once you’re holding your
newborn baby? Those moms
are liars. I can still remem-
ber that pain. I remembered
it very well when I felt the
first contraction with Eleanor
and promised my husband I
would murder him if he did
not make it his life’s objec-
tive to get me that epidural
this time. He came through.
And it was wonderful. I said
it then and I’ll say it again
– I’d have done anything
for that amazing man who
walked into the room and
with a giant needle took all
my pain away and transport-
ed me to a languid, baby-
making cloud of happiness.
If I could get an epidural
every day, I would.
As far as I know, my
friend Kelly wants to have
her baby naturally, and hon-
estly, the more power to her.
I did feel a tremendous sense
of accomplishment after I
had Adele without the drugs
– the days following I was on
a high, like I was a superhe-
ro. Of course, they did send
me home with some good
painkillers which could also
explain the high. Regardless,
I did it, and Kelly can do it,
too.
Once they bring that baby
to you and you look at that
tiny face, those tiny fingers
and toes, and hear those tiny
baby cries that you created
– well, that’s something you
will never forget. I can recall
exactly how I felt and how
perfect and beautiful, ethereal
and surreal they were when I
saw both of my babies for the
first time – indelible flash-
bulb memories.
I can’t wait for Kelly and
Eric to experience that for
themselves. Congratulations
on the impending best chap-
ter of your lives.

St. John’s Geise buries
free throws for rally win
By Kirk Dougal
Times Bulletin Editor
kdougal@times-
bulletin.com
VAN WERT - It is a
shame that someone had to
lose the game.
Delphos St. John’s and
Crestview are two teams that
pride themselves on doing
the little things, the blue-col-
lar-bring-a-lunch-pail-and-
work-all-day things that must
be done to win basketball
games. And with two teams
that view the game with the
same type of intensity, it is
only fitting that their game
was decided by only one
point with less than a second
left on the clock.
On Friday night at Van
Wert High School, St. John’s
beat the Knights 44-43 in
a Division IV sectional-final
game with the lead chang-
ing with 14.1 seconds left
and a shot rolling off the
rim with only .4 remaining.
The Blue Jays will now play
Minster in a district semifinal
matchup at 8 p.m. Tuesday at
Wapakoneta High School.
After the Knights’ Steven
Rickard hit two free throws
in the fourth quarter to make
the score 43-40, Delphos’
Alex Recker responded by
taking the entry pass at the
right elbow and driving down
the lane for a running 8-foot-
er. That brought the score to
43-42 in favor of Crestview,
as Blue Jays coach Aaron
Elwer called timeout at the
1:08 mark to set his defense.
But then, Crestview inex-
plicably had an unforced
turnover to give the ball back
at 47.7 seconds and Delphos
took advantage.
The Jays ran through their
offensive set before giv-
ing the ball to sophomore
Curtis Geise at the top of
the key. Geise drove into the
lane and went up for the shot
but Rickard was whistled for
the foul - his fifth - with
only 14.1 seconds left on the
clock. Geise, an 81-percent
free-throw shooter, hit his
first attempt but not before
the ball hit every inch of
the rim and fell into the net.
He hit nothing but cord with
the second shot, however, to
give his team the slimmest
of leads.
Crestview coach Jeremy
Best called timeout to set a
play with eight seconds left.
“Steven had fouled out,”
said Best. “We got a good
shot. We had a ball screen
and we thought maybe we
could skin off it for a putback
in a scramble situation. It just
kind of squeezed through our
hands on the rebound. We
had the look we wanted and
everything worked out except
for the ball going in. But
that’s basketball.”
For his part, Elwer just
told his players to play smart

in the last few seconds.
“We were just playing
our base defense,” he said.
“They were in the bonus so
we had to play intelligent
defense and level off and try
to keep them out of the paint
and contest shots. Most of
all just rebound because a lot
of times you see a putback
win.”
Crestview’s Nick Adam
took the pass at the left elbow
extended and dribbled across
the top of the key before
picking up a screen and
driving the lane. Two Blue
Jays dropped off on helpside
defense as he went up for his
shot which hit the backboard
and the rim before trickling
off the right side. It appeared
the Knights’ Rob Cook got
most of a hand on the ball but
a Blue Jay player managed
to swipe at it and the ball
went straight down - striking
Adam who had fallen after
his shot - and then went out
of bounds. With only .4 sec-
onds remaining, St. John’s
had the ball and the game.
It did not look like the
contest was going to be
that close at the beginning.
Crestview came out on fire
and quickly jumped out to
a lead after a 6-0 run dur-
ing which Delphos only took
one shot. Cook was strong
in the middle with six points
on putbacks while Rickard
added seven on two drives
SPORTS
Tom Morris photo
and a 3-pointer. Meanwhile,
St. John’s struggled on any-
thing outside of the paint
and trailed after one, 15-8. It
was the only quarter the Jays
would lose.
The second quarter was
a offensive struggle for both
teams as the defenses extend-
ed out farther onto the court,
denying the entry passes and
making each other take dif-
ficult shots. Alex Clark and
AJ Klausing both hit treys for
Delphos as they narrowed the
lead to 23-18 at the half.
If it was possible, the
defensive intensity picked
up even more in the third
period.
“We challenged our guys
at halftime and we did so
much better in the second
half (on defense),” said
Coach Elwer. “We made an
adjustment at halftime that
we would go get (Rickard)
and try to speed the game
up. Our guys were aggressive
and tough and I give them a
lot of credit.”
Geise, who averaged 16
points per game this season
but was held scoreless in the
first half, finally cracked the
scoreboard with four free
throws in the period. Dallis
Gibson did the damage for
Crestview with a mid-range
jumper and a transition lay up
for four markers of his own
but it was Scott Klausing
doubling-down and getting
steals added with putbacks
from Ty Bergfeld and Derek
Klaus who provided the lift
for Delphos as they won the
quarter and narrowed the gap
to 31-29 at the end of three,
setting up the exciting fourth-
quarter heroics.
“We did enough,” said
Coach Elwer. “Our guys who
don’t normally score did it.
We’ve done that the past
three games. We are always
going to defend and make it
tough so as long as we stay
confident offensively, we are
a pretty good team.”
“(St. John’s) is very good
at knocking you off of what
you want to do and getting
bodies where you want to
go,” said Coach Best. “We
tried to spread the floor a
little bit and play a little faster
and we accomplished some
things. We put them on the
free-throw line a little too
much in the second half and
they nailed the free throws.
The game right now is irrel-
evant. I’ve got 13 guys in
there right now, five seniors,
that are tore up. We didn’t
win the game but we got a lot
of winners in that room right
there who wanted to keep
playing but it just didn’t hap-
pen. I am just real proud of
our five seniors. Sixteen wins
and two years ago these guys
won four games as sopho-
mores, to turn it around, it
was awesome and I am so
proud of them.”
St. John’s was led by Klaus
with 10 points and Geise with
nine. The Jays made 13-of-
34 field-goal attempts (34%),
with 3-of-15 (33%) shooting
beyond the arc. They made
15-of-21 free-throw attempts
for a solid 71-percent clip.
Crestview’s Rickard led
all scorers with 19 points
and Gibson chipped in 10.
The Knights made 16-of-33
field-goal attempts, a 48-per-
cent effort, including 1-of-
4 (25%) from 3-point land.
They were even better at the
charity stripe, going 10-of-13
for 77 percent.
St. John’s won the bat-
tle of the boards 19-17 but
Crestview eked out the turn-
overs 10-11 in a well-man-
aged game considering the
defensive intensity.

Ottoville’s Travis Eickholt finds tough sledding versus

game at Van Wert. The Bearcats eliminated the Big Green
with a 12-point decision.
Bearcats put Big Green
boys out of tournament
By DREW BITTNER
Times Bulletin
Correspondent
VAN WERT – Led by
Eli Bowers’ 13 points and
a strong defensive effort,
the Spencerville Bearcats
captured a sectional title on
Friday night in Van Wert,
taking down the Ottoville Big
Green in the Division IV sec-
tional final nightcap, 46-34.
It didn’t take long for
Spencerville to gain the
upper hand against a short-
handed Ottoville squad, as the
Bearcats’ strong defense and
superior rebounding held the
Big Green down.
After Scott Pohlman
dropped in the first two points
of the game for Ottoville,
Spencerville rattled off six
straight points – four from
Bowers – and outscored
Ottoville by nine points for
the rest of the quarter to take
a 13-6 lead after one.
“I thought it was impor-
tant for us to get the lead
and I thought we played
really well, especially defen-
sively, in the first half,” said
Spencerville head coach
Kevin Sensabaugh. “Now
offensively, we weren’t click-
ing, but I’m certain our guys
are going to figure that part of
the floor out soon.”
Ottoville cut the lead to
five points to open the second
quarter of play, but the Big
Green went cold after that
and only managed four free
throws and a single field goal
the remainder of the half.
“I had us 4-for-20 in the
first half and that was my
greatest fear,” said Ottoville
head coach Tom Von Sossan.
Drew Bittner photo
they really did a good job
on the boards. We wanted to
make sure they were checked
out every possible chance.”
The third quarter was an
ugly stanza by any account,
with neither team breaking
into double digits in scor-
ing for the quarter and both
teams struggling to get any-
thing going offensively.
Spencerville only managed
three field goals in the period
and the Big Green didn’t fare
much better with just four
connections.
“It was a sloppy second
half, but I don’t really care,”
explained Sensabaugh. “As
long as we get the win, I don’t
really care. I told the coaches
before [the game], if we win
by one or we win by ten, I
don’t care as long as we win.
That is the most important
thing and getting this first
tournament game out of the
way helps, gets the jitters out,
and helps them relax.”
One thing that helped
Spencerville relax a little in
third quarter was Pohlman
picking up his fourth foul
and being forced to the bench
with 3:07 left to play in the
third quarter. With Pohlman
on the bench in foul trouble
and their other leader, Nathan
Turnwald, on the bench due
to injury, the Big Green
looked lost on offense for the
rest of the third. They didn’t
record a point in the quar-
ter after Pohlman’s exit and
found themselves staring at a
35-22 deficit after three.
“We got thrown into a
pretty adverse situation,” said
Von Sossan of Turnwald’s
absence and the stretch with-
out Pohlman. “It is more

Antalis’ heroics sends Jefferson on to district
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
WAPAKONETA — down at the half, so coming
Jefferson coach Marc Smith
challenged his team to make
a play in overtime.
That they did.
Senior Logan Bonifas,
limited by first-half foul trou-
ble, came up with a late steal
and fellow senior Mitchell
Antalis came up with a put-
back as time expired to give
the Wildcats a come-from-
behind 69-67 overtime vic-
tory in Division III sectional
boys basketball Friday at
Wapakoneta.
Jefferson (12-9), which
trailed by 12 at one point
in the second quarter, had
battled back to knot the game
at 62 and force an extra four
minutes. The Redskins (11-
10) drew first blood on a
pair of free trows by senior
Cory Siefring (14 markers,
9 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals)
at 2:46 but Jefferson senior
Ryan Ebbeskotte (28 coun-
ters, 7 assists, 6 boards, 5
steals) answered those with
two of his own at 2:23,
fouling out Redskin junior
Nate Uhlenhake (3 assists).
Junior Nick Dunlap gave the
Wildcats their first lead since
the first period with 1-of-2
free throws at 2:05. The teams
traded turnovers and Siefring
took a mid-court steal the
other way for a layup at
1:18 and a 1-point edge. The
Wildcats committed the last
of their 20 turnovers (15 for
St. Henry) and junior Craig
Knapke was fouled at 1:08,
sending him to the line for
two. He hit the first but not
the second and the Wildcats
tied it up with 55 ticks on
the clock on a Bonifas (11
points - all in the second
half - 10 boards) drive. The
Redskins ran down the clock
— calling their final timeout
in the process — but commit-
ted their final miscue of the
game — and the year — with
nine ticks left. Bonifas got
it and took off for the other
end; his short 5-footer from
the left baseline was off but
bounced to the other side,
where Antalis was Johnny-
on-the-spot with his putback
off the glass as time expired.
“In that last time, I chal-
lenged the kids to make a
play. Logan did; you didn’t
see the real Logan in the first
half because of foul trou-
ble,” Smith explained. “Then
Mitchell made a play. We
battled and battled all game
long against a good St. Henry
team. Logan is a winner and
everybody on this team is a
winner. Mitchell never came
out; we gutted this one out.”
Antalis was hustling to get
there.

Kenseth wins Las Vegas pole with track record
By JENNA FRYER
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Matt
Kenseth was all too aware of
his lousy qualifying record
and even with a fast car, he
figured he’d screw up his
Friday lap around Las Vegas
Motor Speedway.
He didn’t, though, instead
turning a flawless lap at
188.884 mph to set a track
record. It was the fifth pole of
Kenseth’s career, first since
Darlington in 2009.
“Five in 12 years? That’s
a little better than I thought,”
he deadpanned. “Qualifying
is not my strong suit but I
knew we had a really fast car.
Honestly this is the most ner-
vous I have been before quali-
fying in probably five years
because I knew we had a shot
at the pole. I didn’t want to
mess up a fast car.”
Kenseth, who broke Kurt
Busch’s year-old qualify-
ing record of 188.719, will
attempt to break his 72-race
winless streak in Sunday’s
race. His last victory was in
2009 at California.
Marcos Ambrose qualified
second, while Carl Edwards
and Greg Biffle — Kenseth’s
teammates at Roush Fenway
Racing — allowed Ford to
sweep the top four spots. All
of them are powered by Roush
engines.
Joe Gibbs Racing team-
mates Kyle Busch and Joey
Logano qualified fifth and
sixth. Busch, the current
points leader, was briefly on
the pole and trying to make
sure he or Kurt Busch won the
top starting spot for the fourth
consecutive year.
Instead, Ambrose knocked
and I just happened to be
in the right spot,” Antalis
noted. “We’re used to be
back is nothing new for us.
We’re used to being smaller
but they were hurting us on
the boards, especially second
shots. We just had to keep
fighting.”
The Redskins had the best
of the early going, using their
inside game to control the
smaller Wildcats, though
Delphos had an 8-4 edge on
a 3-point play by junior Nick
Dunlap. The Redskins shot
8-of-14 in the opening stanza
(27-of-58 for the night, 3-of-
12 long range, for 46.6% vs.
Jefferson’s 25-of-48, 5-of-8
long distance, for 52.1%),
With the 6-4 Knapke (13
counters) netting six points.
When Uhlenhake slipped in a
3-ball from the left wing with
a tick on the board, their lead
was 17-10.
The Redskins continued
to control the proceedings
into the second stanza, get-
ting out to a 24-12 advantage
as Siefring scored inside.
However, the Redskins were
also piling up fouls and put-
ting the Wildcats at the line.
Though the Wildcats didn’t
exactly take advantage of
the largesse, hitting 2-of-8
singles in the second canto
(14-of-22 overall for 63.5%
vs. 10-of-16 for the Redskins
for 62.5%), they started to
get some headway against the
switching St. Henry defense.
When Antalis (9 markers, 4
boards) hit a baseline jumper
with 5.2 ticks on the board,
the Wildcats were back with-
in 28-23.
Dunlap helped carry
the Wildcats as the junior
dropped in 10 of his 14 coun-
ters the first half.
“It’s nothing new for us
to be at a size disadvantage.
We’ve learned not to use it as
an excuse,” Smith continued.
“We challenged everybody
at the half, like Logan and
Mitchell, to stay positive and
keep working hard. I’m a
firm believer that good things
will come if you keep at it
and good things came our
way. What a great effort on
the part of all of our kids.”
Ebbeskotte, who also
played the entire 36 minutes,
was instrumental in leading
his club back. He started to
catch fire in the third peri-
od. He was either delivering
at the basket (9 markers) or
setting up teammates such
as Bonifas (4 points), senior
Nick Cook (a 3) and Dunlap
(a 3). In fact, when Dunlap
downed a trifecta from the
right corner with 2.2 ticks on
the board, the Wildcats were
within 46-44.
Jefferson shot 9-of-14 in
the span.
Busch down a spot with
a quick lap that lifted the
Australian’s spirits after a dis-
appointing start to his first
season with Richard Petty
Motorsports.
“My team has really sup-
ported me through a slow
start,” Ambrose said. “I felt
some pressure coming in here
and I really wanted to step
up.”
AJ Allmendinger,
Ambrose’s teammate, qual-
ified seventh and was fol-
lowed by Ryan Newman in a
Chevrolet, Martin Truex Jr. in
a Toyota and Mark Martin in
a Chevrolet.
David Ragan, whose Ford
was one of the fastest cars
during practice, spun on his
qualifying lap and failed to
post a time. He will start
Sunday’s race from the 42nd
position.
Kurt Busch, last year’s
pole winner, was the highest
qualifying Dodge at 22nd.
Brian Keselowski failed to
qualify for the 43-car field.
Slow car for Kurt Busch
stalls Las Vegas hype: A
seven-year age gap prevented
Kurt and Kyle Busch from
racing against each other for
championships as they were
growing up in Las Vegas.
Now stars in NASCAR,
their early season results have
many wondering if this could
be the year the Busch brothers
battle for the Sprint Cup title.
They returned to home track
Las Vegas Motor Speedway
on Friday ranked first and
second in the standings, with
Kyle holding a 3-point lead
over older brother, Kurt. They
are the only two drivers to nab
top-10 finishes in the season’s
first two races.
St. Henry had no answer for Jefferson senior Ryan Ebbeskotte, who made a living
with short pull-up jumpers like this against Redskins Alex Post and Craig Knapke. His
28 points helped the Wildcats rally from a 12-point second-quarter deficit to win a last-
second OT thriller 69-67.
Ebbeskotte tied it up on
a transition hoop from the
free-throw line at 7:40 but
they couldn’t get the lead
then. The Redskins seemed
to re-assert control, getting
back to a 55-48 edge on
an inside basket by junior
Caleb Heitkmap (14 mark-
ers, 10 boards, 3 blocks),
forcing Smith to call time
at 4:49. Still, the Redskins
added one more point to their
lead by the 3-minute mark
as Knapke made it 51-53
before the Wildcats made a
“I think it would be great
for us two to battle each other,”
Kurt said. “Every time there
is a Chase we are involved
in together, it seems to draw
more attention. If we could do
this for a season-long battle,
it definitely would draw more
attention to what two brothers
are doing out there on the race
track. You see the Williams
sisters play against each other
in tennis, you see every now
and then the (Mannings) play
against each other. There’s all
that extra attention and hype
around it.”
The brothers have yet to be
at the same level at the same
time in NASCAR.
Kurt won the inaugu-
ral 2004 Chase for the
Championship and while Kyle
has flirted with the Cup, he’s
yet to put together a complete
10-race Chase. The closest
they’ve ever been in the final
standings was 2007, when
Kyle finished fifth and Kurt
finished seventh.
But it’s been Kyle who’s
emerged as the annual title
contender, racking up 16
races over the last four years
to Kurt’s seven victories.
One of those wins was
at Las Vegas in 2008, when
Kyle became the first Busch
to visit Victory Lane here. It
was a monumental moment
for the Busch family, who
watched the track develop as
children.
Kurt, who is winless at
Las Vegas, admitted Friday
there’s a twinge of resentment
that his little brother was the
victor.
“The fact that he’s won
here, yeah, it stings a little
bit,” Kurt said. “I’ve been on
pole here, he’s been on pole,
Saturday, March 5, 2011
comeback in earnest. Two
Ebeskottee drives, followed
by two Bonifas free throws
at 2:09, got them within
61-60. The Tedskins, who
never got to the line the first
half but started out 6-of-6 in
the second half, failed at the
line, missing five of their
last six in the last 2:23 of
regulation. Heitkamp hit the
second-of-2 at 1:18 to give
the Redskins a 62-60 edge.
The Wildcats could not con-
vert on two good looks but
Uhlenhake missed two huge
and it’s Vegas, one of the top
five marquee events of the
year. With him winning here,
it was great for our family and
all the friends who have sup-
ported us over the years.
“I just want to be able to do
it as well.”
There’s been hope that the
brothers would stage a show-
down Sunday in pursuit of the
victory. But Kurt downplayed
that possibility because his
Dodge was less than impres-
sive all day Friday.
“It just seems like we’ve
been off since we unloaded
the car,” he said. “We’re just
heading back with everything
to how we ran this race one
year ago. Maybe that’s some-
thing we need to do, just get
back to some of the basics.
This has been a tough track
for me over the years, with
engine failures and getting
caught up in wrecks. We just
hope for a nice smooth run
this time around.”
Kurt’s average finish at
Las Vegas is 21.9 and he
hasn’t finished higher than
23rd the past four years. He
qualified 22nd in Friday’s
session, marking the lowest
qualifying effort of his 10
previous visits home.
Kyle, meanwhile, qualified
fifth, and took a moment to
note the significance of this
weekend for his family.
“Coming to Vegas and
leading the points ... it’s cool,
it’s a great opportunity for
both of us to be leading com-
ing to the hometown,” Kyle
added. “I don’t know that
there’s any added pressure,
but there’s definitely some
resilience there where we’re
feeling blessed to be in the
position we’re in.”
Tom Morris photo
free throws at 31.8 seconds,
setting up Ebbeskotte to be
fouled with 22 ticks left. The
senior calmly swished both
to knot the game at 62. The
Redskins ran down the clock
and Heitkamp tried a 15-foot-
er from the left baseline that
was off the mark as time
expired.
“Ryan is a great, great
player. If he were at a bigger
school, more people would
know about him, but unfor-
tunately, we aren’t a bigger
school,” Smith added. “Those
who have watched us all year
know who he is, though. He
does it all for us: not just
scoring but rebounding, set-
ting people up, playing great
defense, playing inside or
out. He is our second all-time
leader in assists and steals.”
Bearcats
(Continued from page 6)
and McCormick giving the
Bearcats solid and purposeful
minutes, Spencerville proved
it has the depth to do strong
things in the tourney.
“They did [play well],”
praised Sensabaugh. “In
watching practice the last
couple of weeks, I’ve noticed
that some of the younger guys
are getting a little better right
now. We figured we need to
get guys a rest, it’s late in the
season, and so we got them in
there. They did a great job.”
Despite staring at a 44-26
lead, Ottoville refused to
mail things in and made the
game somewhat interesting
late. After Pohlman and Luke
Schimmoeller converted on
back-to-back three-point
plays and Pohlman con-
nected on another field goal,
Ottoville had cut the score to
44-34 with only two minutes
remaining and looked to have
the makings of a final run in
them.
However, those would be
the last points Ottoville would
manage and, in the end, the
only other scoring would
come from two free throws
by Bowers as Spencerville
claimed the 46-34 victory.
“We haven’t been con-
sistent offensively all year,”
explained Von Sossan. “In
the second half, we got a little
rhythm going, but not consis-
tently enough to get back in
it. We just didn’t shoot the
ball well all year. That was

Lady Jays, Jeffcats Musser ousted from state wrestling
battle for regional berth
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
Expect a matchup of styles
in tonight’s girls Division IV
district-final clash between
Jefferson (20-2) and St.
John’s (17-5) at 7 p.m. at
Lima Senior.
The Blue Jays lead the all-
time series 7-2 but that doesn’t
matter in this go-round.
The Lady Wildcats will
try to make this an up-tempo,
all-court game, according to
mentor Dave Hoffman.
“That’s when we are at
our best; when we are getting
transition looks, especially
off of our pressure defense.
We’re not as good in a half-
court set, though we’ve been
working on that all season,”
Hoffman noted. “We aren’t
the tallest team in the world;
we have rarely been bigger
than our opponents but I fig-
ure we have been quicker than
almost all of them and try to
use our quickness to counter
any size disadvantage.
“However, we know that
St. John’s had built a reputa-
tion over the years for their
great defense. They’ve also
got some girls that can hit
the perimeter shot consis-
tently, like (Becca) Saine,
(Courtney) Grothouse and
(Jessica) Recker. They have
a nice, strong inside play-
er in (Tiffany) Geise and
though they definitely miss
(the injured Shelby) Reindel,
(Katie) Vorst seems to be
coming into her own.”
The game plan for Blue Jay
counterpart Dan Grothouse
will be to neutralize the Lady
Wildcat speed with his own

team’s strengths, though it
won’t be easy.
“That is one thing
Jefferson does well, among
many others; they don’t
allow you to get comfortable
with their defense. We feel
we have a strength inside but
they won’t make it easy for
us to utilize that strength,”
Grothouse noted. “Even
when you beat the press,
they can get you coming
from behind. Offensively,
(Kristin) Klausing and
(Kennedy) Boggs are the
two main cogs that seem to
set the pace for them. I don’t
think you can completely
stop this offense; you have to
really work to contain them
and keep things in front of
you.
“The key for us is to stay
in control and not lose our
composure against the press.
You can seem to be in control
and then they can quickly run
off 12-14 points in a row.
That is what we have to avoid
tonight.”
Both coaches are aware of
what the environment will be
all about.
“It’s a big game to begin
with, playing your neighbors.
With a district title and a trip
to regional on the line, you
have to be careful your aren’t
too keyed up,” Grothouse
added.
Hoffman doesn’t see any
problem getting his girls
motivated.
“With all that’s on the line
tonight, I don’t anticipate
being mentally or physically
ready to play. It should be
a great crowd and a great
game,” he added.

with 14 seconds left and Katherine
Graham’s jumper in the final sec-
onds was off.

Starting the second period,
Kosky had choice of posi-

who chose the down position,
what ended up being a good
choice for Musser, since he

improved the league’s best
record and kept the Heat
in a tailspin. A night after
blowing a 24-point lead in
a stunning loss to Orlando,
Miami trailed by 24 after just
one quarter and lost for the
fourth time in five games.
Parker had 15 points and
eight assists. He returned
less than a week after the
Spurs feared their point
guard might miss up to a
month with a strained calf.
LeBron James scored 26
points and Dwyane Wade
had 19. It won’t get much
easier for the Heat, who
return home to play Chicago
on Sunday.
Bulls 89, Magic 81
ORLANDO, Fla. —
Derrick Rose had 24 points
and Luol Deng added 16
to help Chicago hold off
Orlando in a matchup of
two of the top teams in the
Eastern Conference.
The Bulls bounced back
from a loss to Atlanta on
Wednesday by earning their
eighth victory in 10 games.
Orlando’s loss snapped a
4-game winning streak and a
5-game run against the Bulls
at home.
Dwight Howard led
Orlando with 20 points
and 10 rebounds but also
picked up his 16th techni-
cal of the season. He faces a
1-game suspension Monday
night against Portland if the
foul is not rescinded by the
NBA. Jason Richardson and
Brandon Bass each chipped
in 16 points.
Chicago ends a 5-game
road trip Sunday at Miami.

NEW YORK — Baron
Davis scored 18 points in
his Cavaliers debut, leading
a stunning rally in the fourth
quarter as Cleveland beat the
New York Knicks for the
11th straight time.
J.J. Hickson scored 23
and Luke Harangody also
had 18 but the spark came
from Davis in his first game
since his trade from the Los

BOSTON — Ray Allen

Paul Pierce also scored
27 for the Celtics, who let an
18-point lead slip to just one

struggled to put away the
pesky Warriors.
Ellis scored 28 of his 41

Golden State rallied and gave
the short-handed Celtics a
scare right to the end.
Boston wasn’t able to
seal it until Allen snatched a
rebound off a miss by Kevin
Garnett with 12 seconds left,
then hit two free throws.
Jeff Green added 21

an hour before the game but
the NBA’s leading scorer

Prevent A Second Heart
Attack – Janet Brill
The author reduces con-
fusing dietary guidelines
typically given to post-
heart attack patients to a
two-month regime aiming
to minimize risk factors
(“good” and “bad” cho-
lesterol ratios: blood pres-
sure levels; inflammation;
weight; etc.). Her focus
is dual: preventing a sec-
ond heart attack and creat-
ing a lifestyle that works
in tandem with prescribed
medications. Contending
that low-fat diets and most
supplements are ineffective
and programs touted in best-
sellers and the media prove
too restrictive for many
patients, Brill offers a
Mediterranean-style
diet incorporating
liberal daily serv-
ings of eight “super-
food” groups: healthy
fats, vegetables, fruit,
legumes, seafood,
walnuts and flaxseeds,
whole grains, and
moderate amounts of
red wine.

FROM THE

In Like A Lion Out
Like A Lamb by Marion
Dane Bauer
Bauer had taken the
popular March proverb and
created an energetic pic-
ture book celebrating the
immense change weather
can have at the beginning
of spring. A lion comes
pounding and scratching at
the front door and with him
come sleet, mud, and grey
clouds. He snickers to the
little boy, ‘Were you expect-
ing spring?’ Then just as
quickly the wind gives way
to a soft breeze, birds are at
the feeders and buds pop out
on the trees. Who comes rid-
ing in on this lovely breeze
— an adorable spring lamb,
that’s who.
The Lord’s Prayer illus-

Watson, commentary by
Rick Warren
The inspiring words of
the Lord’s Prayer are placed
alongside exquisite illustra-
tions in this lovely picture
book. The smiling beauti-
ful faces of children from
around the world and depic-
tion of heavenly animals
gives the book a striking
appeal. At the end of the
book, Warren takes each
line of the prayer and gives
a very short interpretation.
This would make a perfect
starting point for teaching
children the value of prayer.

Nearer, my ‘Confession’ app, to thee

For generations, Catholics carried these
simple leaflets inside their handbags or wal-
lets, short texts topped with titles such as “A
Guide For Confession” or “A Personal Ex-
amination of the Conscience.”
The believer would be reminded: “Be truly
sorry for your sins. The essential act of pen-
ance, on the part of the penitent, is contrition,
a clear and decisive rejection of the sin com-
mitted, together with a resolution not to com-
mit it again, out of the love one has for God
and which is reborn with repentance.”
These paper guides also offer lists of
questions to prick the conscience, such as,
“Have I denied my faith?,” “Have I neglected
prayer?” or “Was I impatient, angry, envious,
proud, jealous, revengeful, lazy?” If it had
been a long time since a previous confession,
the penitent would be reminded, “If you need
help ... simply ask the priest and he will help
you by ‘walking’ you through the steps.”
That was then.
In recent weeks, waves of Catholics, along
with curious members of other flocks, have
downloaded a new “Confession” app for
iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch devices that
combines private journaling, spiritual read-
ings and traditional pre-confession leaflets
into one password-protected digital package.
Why carry scribbled notes into confession
TERRY MATTINGLY
On
Religion
when for $1.99 one can work through the rite
while being bathed in the cool blue glow that
is the symbol of the social-networking age?
Scribes in newsrooms around the world
sprang into action.
“Bless me father for I have sinned. It has
been 300 tweets since my last confession,”
noted CNN.
In London, The Times opened its story
by claiming: “Roman Catholic bishops have
approved a new iPhone and iPad app that al-
lows users to make confession with a virtual
‘priest’ over the Internet.”
The Economic Times report was even
more blunt. The headline noted, “No time to
visit church? Confess via iPhone.” Then the
opening lines went further still, stating: “Us-
ers of iPhone can now perform contrition and
other religious rituals without visiting church,
thanks to a new online application.”
The problem is that these statements were
just plain wrong. There is no such thing as a
“virtual” priest or a “virtual” sacrament. How
could electronic devices allow believers to
“perform ... other religious rituals”?
“I am all for anything that gets people to
go to confession,” noted the Rev. John Zuhls-
dorf, at his popular “What Does the Prayer
Really Say?” website. “But let’s be clear
about something: The iPhone app is for pre-
paring to go to confession. It is not a substi-
tute for going to confession.”
Nevertheless, the cracked headlines rolled
on with the Catholic League expressing out-
rage about new stinkers, such as, “Can’t Make
it to Confession? There’s an App for That,”
“New, Church-Approved iPhone Offers Con-
fession On the Go” and “Bless Me iPhone for
I Have Sinned.”
It was true that the Confession app had
been developed with the direct help of Catho-
lic priests and, yes, its theological content
earned an imprimatur from Bishop Kevin
C. Rhoades, leader of the Diocese of Fort
Wayne-South Bend, Ind.But after the barrage
of inaccurate headlines, Vatican officials fi-
nally decided that a response was required.
It is true that “in a world in which many
people use computer support for reading and
reflection,” Catholics may now find that “dig-
ital technology can be useful in the prepara-
tion for confession,” noted the Rev. Federico
Lombardi, director of the Vatican press of-
fice.
However, he added, it is “essential to un-
derstand that the sacrament of penance re-
quires a personal dialogue between the peni-
tent and the confessor in order for absolution
to be given.
“This ... cannot be replaced by any com-
puter application such as the iPhone.”
This statement produced more headlines.
A CBS headline offering was typical -- “Vati-
can: No, You Can’t Confess to Your iPhone.”
Of course, the app’s creators never made that
claim in the first place.
The story had come full circle.
Thus, noted Maureen Down of The New
York Times, this new app “is not a session
with a virtual priest who restores your virtue
with a penance of three Hail Marys and three
extra gigabytes of memory. ... You still have
to go into the real confessional at church to
get absolution, and, hopefully, your priest
won’t be annoyed that you’re reading your
sins off of a little screen and, maybe, peek-
ing at a football game or shopping site once
in awhile.”

Center at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities

Trend reversal: Big drop

in kids’ ear infections
BY MIKE STOBBE
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Ear infec-
tions, a scourge that has left
countless tots screaming
through the night, have fall-
en dramatically, and some
researchers suggest a decline
in smoking by parents might
be part of the reason.
Health officials report
nearly a 30 percent drop over
15 years in young children’s
doctor visits for ear infec-
tions.
Why the numbers are
declining is a bit of a mystery,
but Harvard researchers think
it’s partly because fewer peo-
ple smoke, meaning less irri-
tation of children’s airways.
Vern and Judy Fischer pan for gold. Many doctors credit growing
use of a vaccine against bac-
Alaska teria that cause ear infections.
And some think increased

more children.
“It’s the same thing with this one local tradition they have in Seward,” she added. “It’s a race “We’re sort of guess-

‘the real Alaska.’ He meant the wild parts, the ones you can only reach by plane or dog sled.” U.S. children.
For decades, they were
the most common reason
that parents brought young
children to a doctor, accord-
ing to health officials. The
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention hadn’t issued
a report on them in nearly 20
years.
Cases skyrocketed from
1975 to 1990. The visit rate
for children 5 and under more
than doubled in that time.
A big reason, Rosenfeld
said, was a steady rise in
dual-career families. More
families put their kids in day
care, and day care is a breed-
ing ground for the germs that
lead to ear infections.
But the study by Harvard
“When people
are smoking less
around their kids,
when homes are
smoke-free, the
rate of ear infec-
tions can and
has decreased.”
— Hillel Alpert,
lead author of study
published in
Tobacco Control
University suggests another
contributor: cigarette smoke.
Most ear infections occur
after a cold. In children, the
ear is more directly connect-
ed to the back of the nose, so
infections in a child’s nose
and throat can easily trig-
ger ear inflammation. Such
swelling is a fertile setting
for the bacteria that cause ear
infections.
Cigarette smoke, inhaled
through a child’s nose, can
trigger the same kind of
irritation and swelling, said
Dr. Gordon Hughes of the
National Institute on Deafness
and Other Communication
Disorders.
CDC figures show that 88
percent of U.S. nonsmokers
were exposed to secondhand
smoke around 1990, but that
fell to about 40 percent in
2007 and 2008.
Harvard research indicates
the decline coincides with a
drop in childhood ear infec-
tions.
“When people are smok-
ing less around their kids,
when homes are smoke-free,
the rate of ear infections
can and has decreased,” said
Hillel Alpert, lead author of
a study published recently by
the journal Tobacco Control.
At the request of The
Associated Press, the CDC
checked its recent trend data
on ear infections, based on
annual surveys of a represen-
tative sample of doctors.
For children ages 6 and
under, the number of medi-
cal visits in which the main
diagnosis was ear infection
dropped by nearly 30 percent
from 1993 to 2008 — from
an estimated 17.5 million vis-
its to about 12.5 million.
The rate of such visits
dropped by about 32 percent,
from 636 ear infection-relat-
ed visits per 1,000 children to
431 per 1,000.
The trend downward for
very young children seems
to have leveled off in the last
few years.
A CDC analysis of data
from 2004 through 2008
found the differences year-
to-year were not meaningful,
said Susan Schappert of the
CDC’s National Center for
Health Statistics.
Some doctors have noticed
fewer ear infections in their
waiting rooms compared to
what they saw years ago. “We
don’t see them that much
anymore,” said Dr. Michael
Baron, a family practice doc-
tor in Stone Mountain, a sub-
urb of Atlanta.
Another factor in that
decline may be growing use
of a vaccine that protects
against strep bacteria that can
cause ear infections. The vac-
cine, first licensed in 2000,
would not account for the
drop in cases in the 1990s,
but probably has contributed
to the decline since, several
experts said.
Also, some studies have
credited antibody-rich breast
milk with lowering infants’
risk for respiratory and middle
ear infections. About 77 per-
cent of new mothers breast-
feed, at least briefly, up from
fewer than two-thirds in the
early 1990s.
Of course, these are just
theories.

Sex offender asks judges for release
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP)
— A convicted sexual preda-
tor seeking an extremely rare
release from Minnesota’s sex-
ual offender treatment pro-
gram was confronted Friday
by one of his victims, who
rejected the man’s claim that
he no longer poses a threat.
John Rydberg, 69, has
petitioned for release from a
psychiatric hospital to a half-
way house in the Twin Cities,
a step that ultimately could
make him the first person
permanently released from
the state’s program.
Attorneys for the state and
Blue Earth County, where
his last offense was raping a
woman at knifepoint in front
of her children in 1979, are
arguing against his release.
They sought to poke holes
in his testimony to show that
he’s just going through the
motions, hasn’t fully faced
up to what he’s done and isn’t
ready for a next step toward
freedom.
Rydberg said he’s no dan-
ger but remembers about 94
victims, with offenses rang-
Fla. police identify children found in canal
DELRAY BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — The boy and girl
whose bodies were found
stuffed into luggage and
thrown into a south Florida
canal are believed to be the
children of a woman found
dead in a landfill last sum-
mer, police said Friday.
Investigators said they
have positively identified
the children’s bodies found
Wednesday as siblings
Jermaine McNeil, 10, and
Ju’tyra Allen, 6. They believe
their mother, Felicia Brown,
is the woman whose body
was found in a West Palm
Beach landfill last August.
Sgt. Nicole Guerriero, a
spokeswoman for the Delray
Beach Police, said the three
lived with Clem Beauchamp,
who investigators say is their
only suspect in the deaths.
He has not been charged with
their slayings but is being
held on an unrelated weapons
ing from peeping to violent
assaults. He admitted he has
harmed a lot of people over
the years and still struggles
with his sexual feelings.
Since it began in 1995,
Minnesota’s sex offender
treatment program has grown
to more than 600 patients and
it adds about 50 people per
year. Only one man has been
released in the program’s
history, and his provisional
discharge was revoked when
he violated conditions of his
release. He eventually died in
custody.
Rydberg’s case comes as
the state grapples with the
rising costs of treating sex
offenders at a time when it’s
awash in red ink. Minnesota
has an estimated $5 billion
budget deficit, yet lawmak-
ers are being asked to com-
mit millions to expand sex
offender treatment facilities.
Some attorneys and others
have also raised questions
about the constitutionality of
a civil commitment program
if no one is ever released.
The most compelling tes-
charge.
Police said they didn’t
expect any charges in the case
for several days, at the ear-
liest. Meantime, the release
of the victims’ identities
Friday horrified friends and
relatives, including Brown’s
sister, 22-year-old Margaret
Gissone.
“There were a lot of things
I wanted to tell her that I
hadn’t told her yet,” she said.
Friends and neighbors
said they had been asking
Beauchamp about Brown’s
whereabouts for months, but
he had an explanation.
“He said she was in jail,”
said Kenneth Marshall, 43, an
acquaintance of the family.
Three other children who
lived in Beauchamp’s home
were taken from his girlfriend
and put into the custody of
the Department of Children
and Families, Guerriero said
Friday. The girlfriend was
timony Friday came from
Tom McCartney, 58, who
described for a three-judge
panel an assault that began
when Rydberg burst into
McCartney’s country home
near Westfield, Wis., with a
sawed-off shotgun the stormy
night of June 4, 1975. After
McCartney and his wife, Janet,
were tied up, Rydberg went
upstairs where the couple’s
3-year-old son was sleeping
to get pillowcases to put over
their heads, McCartney said.
Rydberg then raped Janet
McCartney with his mask
off, McCartney said, describ-
ing how he got good looks
at Rydberg’s face during
lightning flashes. Then, he
said, Rydberg pulled down
McCartney’s pants and per-
formed oral sex on him for
about five minutes. He even-
tually left, stealing their car.
About a month and a half
later, McCartney said, his
wife learned she was preg-
nant. Rather than risking that
the child might be her rap-
ist’s, he said, they decided to
have an abortion.
questioned in the killings but
is not considered a suspect,
police said.
After Beauchamp was
questioned in the children’s
deaths by Delray Beach
police Thursday night, fed-
eral agents arrested him on
the weapons charge, which
will keep him behind bars as
the investigation continues.
Court records show the
weapons charge dates to
2009, when officers found
a homemade silencer inside
a bag with a knit hat and a
Halloween mask. On Friday,
investigators sifted through
his small home and towed
away cars.
The silencer was found in
the trunk of Brown’s repos-
sessed car, documents show.
Beauchamp denied any
