Obama orders new fuel standards for futureWASHINGTON (AP)

President Barack Obamacalled for first-ever mile-age and emissions standardsfor big rig and work trucksFriday, seeking to limit pol-lution from the large vehiclesthat contribute a big shareof it.

With a presidential memo-randum signed in the RoseGarden, Obama also orderedfederal agencies that havealready brought out new stan-dards for cars and light trucksfor the 2012-2016 modelyears to begin work on evenstronger rules for 2017 andbeyond.

The disaster in the Gulfonly underscores that even aswe pursue domestic produc-tion to reduce our relianceon imported oil, our long-term security depends onthe development of alterna-tive sources of fuel and new

transportation technologies,the president said.

I believe that its pos-sible in the next 20 years forvehicles to use half the fueland produce half the pollu-tion that they do today.

The directive signedFriday also calls for thedevelopment of new tech-nologies to promote plug-inhybrids and electric vehiclesand a diversified fuel mixincluding more biofuels andnatural gas.

The Union of ConcernedScientists, an environmentaladvocacy group, said largetrucks represent only 4 per-cent of all vehicles on U.S.highways but consume morethan 20 percent of on-roadtransportation fuels. Obamawants standards developedfor these vehicles beginningin the 2014 model year, andlasting through 2018.

Obama last month rolledout new standards for carsand light trucks for the 2012-2016 model years that aimedat reaching a fleet averageof 35.5 miles per gallon by2016, nearly 10 miles pergallon more than the cur-rent average. Now additionalstandards will be developedfurther into the future.

Automakers typicallyspend years planning anddeveloping future vehiclesand have sought the certain-ty of firm standards severalyears into the future. GeneralMotors Co. said in a statementthat working toward onestrong, yet feasible, nationalprogram helps GM and otherautomakers get advancedtechnology vehicles to con-sumers quicker and more costeffectively.

Environmentalists havealso pushed for the extension,

saying it would help ensurestrong gas-mileage standardsinto the future. The fuel stan-dards made little progressduring the 1980s and 1990s.The years of inaction onvehicle standards that servedto increase our addiction tooil are at an end, said CarlPope, chairman of the SierraClub.

For the auto industry, uni-form national standards arepreferable to a state-by-stateapproach that has been athreat ever since Californiastarted pushing years ago tobe allowed more stringentstandards than the federalgovernment imposes.

California agreed last yearnot to adopt its own standardsthrough 2016 but withoutfederal action the state waspreparing to impose tougherrequirements beginning in2017.

BERLIN (AP) A darkcloud has settled over theworlds financial markets, asgrowing numbers of people areconcluding the debt crisis inEurope could hammer globalgrowth and even bring backrecession barely a year after apatchy recovery took hold.

Government officials whose job it is to boost confi-dence downplay that risk,but many economists are warn-ing that the much-feared double-dip recession could

be starting in Europe.It would be the next ugly

chapter in the global financialand economic turmoil thatbegan three years ago. And nowas then, what is striking is theinter-connectedness of every-thing how near-default inGreece and weeks of ditheringin Germany have affected com-modities like oil and gold and,with demand and confidencewaning, have bludgeoned stockmarkets around the world in away that rattles ordinary peo-ple saving for retirement fromKorea to California.

In 2007, the bad debt con-nected to repackaged subprimemortgages started undermining

banks and hedge funds, and byearly 2008 confidence in thesystem was slipping fast.

This time it is the exposureof banks everywhere to sover-eign debt the IOUs of gov-ernments whose value hasbeen falling for months.

The sheer size of theEuropean economy is a fac-tor, said Mauro F. Guillen,director of the Lauder Instituteat The Wharton School inPennsylvania. If Europeandemand goes down, globalgrowth will slow down, hesaid.

It is a daunting pros-pect, because having alreadydeployed their best countermea-sures stimulus spending andcentral bank interest rate cuts governments everywheremay be out of ammunition.

ISLAMABAD (AP) Theco-owner of a catering com-pany that organized events forthe U.S. Embassy is amongsix men detained by Pakistan

for allegedly helping the failedTimes Square bombing sus-pect, a senior Pakistani intel-ligence official said Friday.

In a statement on its website, the U.S. Embassy warnedthat the catering company wassuspected of ties to terroristgroups and said American dip-lomats had been instructed tostop using the firm.

Like Faisal Shahzad, thePakistani-American accusedin the failed New York bomb-ing, the six Pakistani detain-ees were all members of theircountrys urban elite, includ-ing several who were educatedin the United States. One was

a former army major.The suspects were part ofa loose network motivatedby hatred of America and theWest, the Pakistani officialtold The Associated Press. Hespoke on condition of ano-nymity because of the sensi-tive nature of the investiga-tion.

One of the men often trav-eled to the tribal areas close tothe Afghan border where U.S.officials have said Shahzadreceived explosives trainingunder the Pakistani Taliban,the official said.

At least two allegedlyhelped Shahzad with fund-ing, the official and anotherPakistani security officer said,although the exact nature oftheir link to the Times Squarebombing suspect was stillbeing investigated.

The co-owner of the HanifRajput Catering Service,Salman Ashraf Khan, wasrecruited because two othersuspects wanted him to helpbomb a big gathering of for-eigners whose event hiscompany was catering, thePakistani intelligence officersaid.

He said a U.S. tip led tothe first arrest a computerengineer, Shoaib Mughal, whoruns a large computer dealer-ship in Islamabad.

Mughal is accused of tele-phoning Shahzad soon after the

failed May 1 bombing in NewYorks Times Square and urg-ing him to return to Pakistan.He also visited the Afghan bor-der region several times to meet

with top Taliban commanders,including Hakimullah Mehsud,and give them money, the offi-cial said.

In New York, two U.S. lawenforcement officials closeto the Times Square probesaid Friday that Shahzad toldU.S. investigators he receivedfinancial support from thePakistani Taliban for the failedbombing.

Perhaps this column would be more fittingat the beginning of a school year rather than theend of one. However, the subject has caught myattention and Im going to run with it.

Bullying.Weve all met or known one and some of us

share their tendencies.

They seldom act alone and are seldom chal-lenged. They usually have their own entourageof friends who are either too scared to go againstthem or just glad its someone else being pickedon and not them.

Weve all seen the effect of bullies. Here are just two examples of extreme cases of whenthose being bullied finally pushed back:

April 20, 1999, Lileon, Colo. 14 stu-dents (including killers) and one teacher killed,23 others wounded at Columbine High Schoolin the nations deadliest school shooting. EricHarris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, had plottedfor a year to kill at least 500 and blow up theirschool. At the end of their hour-long rampage,they turned their guns on themselves.

Klebold and Harris were both intelligent,came from solid homes with two parents andhad older brothers who were three years theirsenior. In elementary school, Klebold and Harris

had both played in sports such as baseball andsoccer. Both enjoyed working with computers.

The boys met each other while attendingKen Caryl Middle School in 1993. When thetwo boys entered high school, they found itdifficult to fit into any of the cliques. As istoo common in high school, the boys foundthemselves frequently picked on by athletes andother students.

April 28, 1999, taber, Albera, Canada One student killed, one wounded at W. R.Myers High School in first fatal high schoolshooting in Canada in 20 years. The suspect, a14-year-old boy, had dropped out of school afterhe was severely ostracized by his classmates.

The list goes on and on. Bullying is not some-thing kids need to get over or tough out.Bullying is something that needs to be stopped.Its not a right of passage or a trial by fire. Itsmean, hurtful and can have lasting effects on

the victims. Teens who are already strugglingwith the crushing burdens of growing up are

forced to survive. It can become so bad stu-dents refuse to go to school or in some cases,come to school prepared to make it stop.

Why is this permitted? Since the first school-room was filled with students eager to learn,there have been bullies in the classroom. In theearly days, they limited their torment of othersto recess and after school. Why? Because theschools were more often than not one roomand the teacher could see all and didnt put upwith it. A lot of bullying didnt go on in the olddays because misbehaving got you a rap on theknuckles and a little dose of public humiliationbecause it was done in front of your peers. Somesay that is no better than what the bully wasdoing. I say a little of what they are dishing outmight make the stop and think about what they

are doing.What has happened? Why is this somethingmany teachers and administrators turn a blindeye to? Why is it allowed to be perceived asOK? Because if nothing is done, thats the mes-sage.

How can making someone feel so bad aboutthemselves and their life that they strike out andharm themselves or others be ignored?

Countless cases are reported by students whoare sometimes told to toughen up or stop whin-ing. Parents seek assistance with the problemand are sometimes told to stop coddling theirchild.

Often the bully is a star jock. No one wants torock the boat or risk the star getting in trouble.

Are teachers and principals afraid of theseyoung terrors? Perhaps theyre scared of theyoung ones parents. That begs the question,whos in charge?

All I know is, doing nothing shouldnt be anoption. Inaction equals approval.

alkWhy I Relay

BY MARGIE ROSTORFER

I was asked to write thisarticle because they said Iwrite nice and they were sureId do a good job. Thatsnot the reason Im writing itthough, and I certainly didntneed to be buttered up todo it! I relay with passion andgoal and I decided to write

about it because it comesfrom the heart and anyonecan write something if thatswhere their heart is, too. So ifyoure so inclined, please dowrite down your thoughts your story and give it toSue Apple or to The Herald or even to me and I cansee that it reaches the correctdestination.

I relay for a number ofreasons. One, because itsimportant that I do my part,small and insignificant as itmay seem to some, to helpfind a cure. A cure is notgoing to be found unless thereare funds to support the nec-

essary research. And fundsare raised through Relays likethe one here in town that Improud to be a part of.

I relay because its the

right thing to do.I relay for those battling

the disease and I relay inmemory of those who havelost their battle. All of thesepeople are or were importantparts of my life and maybeyours, too.

I relay because I wouldwant someone to do the samething for me.

I relay for the social timesspent on the track with friendsdoing their part just like me.

I relay to show support there are so many survivors atthe event, and its just a greatfeeling to cheer them on withmy support.

I relay because of pride the reputation Delphoshas built for the phenomenalRelay event they put on issomething Im proud to bea part of. Delphos is knownstate-wide for their successfulevent.

I relay, too, for a very per-sonal reason for my moth-er-in-law, Eleanor Rostorfer.

She lost her battle to can-cer on Oct. 16, 2001 justthree short months after shewas first diagnosed. She hadcolon cancer that had already

spread to her liver. I relay inher memory thinking ofwhat a great person she was.What a great wife, mother,mother-in-law, and grand-mother she was to her family.She was a wonderful friendto so many, and we all missher yet today. I think sadly ofwhat shes missingall thefun times shes been robbed

of with the grandbabies andgreat-grandkids. My, howthat woman loved babies!

I think of how proud shewould have been of all of theaccomplishments of her kidsand grandkids, not only inacademics but in sports andin life in general. She wassuch an active participant atall of their functions.

Cancer isnt fair, but Ican certainly do my part tohelp raise the funds for theresearch in finding a cure sothat someone elses loved onedoesnt have to miss all thosespecial times in life.

Thats why I relay I

hope you do, too! If youhavent relayed before,theres no time like the pres-ent come be a part of thismoving event!

Frugal Ohio teen buyshouse with 4-H winningsBy KATHY LYNN GRAY

The Columbus Dispatch

GREENFIELD

Lindsay Binegar was 14 thefirst time she spent any win-nings from years of showinghogs. She bought a purse.The second time, at 18, shesplurged. She bought a four-bedroom, two-bathroomhouse with a two-car garage.And she paid in cash.

Ive never heard of ateenager buying a house,said Nikki Gasbarro,spokeswoman for the OhioAssociation of Realtors.Smart girl.

The Greenfield teenagerhas been saving money sinceshe was 4 years old and won$100 showing a hog.

I didnt get the money;it went to the bank, saidBinegar, now a 19-year-old freshman at OhioUniversitys Chillicothebranch.

And so the pattern began.Shed raise a few hogsevery year on the familyfarm in Highland County,show them at competitionsand add any winnings orsales proceeds to her savingsaccount.

Shes pretty tight, saidLindsays dad, Gary. Shesalways been big into 4-H,and every penny she made

she just banked.That included $15,540 for

showing the reserve cham-pion and grand championhogs at the county fair inrecent years.

By the time she graduat-ed from Greenfield McClainHigh School last June, shehad saved more than $40,000for college.

But her parents had aproposition: Theyd payfor college if shed live athome and commute to OhioUniversitys Chillicothecampus.

The idea appealed to

Lindsays thrifty, practicalside but left her wonderinghow to invest the moneyshed saved.

Her dad, who runsBinegar Auction Service,had a suggestion.

I said, You should buy ahouse, Gary Binegar said.

I was like, Oh, Dad,thats a lot of money, shesaid.

But in August, Lindsay

bought a house when herdad was auctioning one aspart of an estate sale. Shepaid $40,000.

After painting the insideof the two-story frame houseand adding new carpeting,Lindsay rented the houseto a great aunt and unclewho wanted to relocate toGreenfield.

Walter Molony, spokes-man for the NationalAssociation of Realtors, saidits extremely unusual for ateenager to buy a house.

Lindsays dad, it turnsout, did something similar but not as grandiose when he got out of highschool. He bought a house,too.

I paid $7,000 and therewas 3 feet of snow in theliving room, he said.

He fixed it up, rented it,then sold it and bought the

farm where he, his wife,Mandy, and Lindsay now

live.Mr. Binegar, 44, isnt

sure why his daughter isso fiscally responsible at an

age when many teens spendevery cent they get.Then again, it fits her per-

sonality. Shes always beenat the top of her class aca-demically. She volunteerseach Friday at an elementaryschool to further her dreamof becoming a teacher. Shehas been involved in 4-H for11 years, was a cheerleaderand was crowned homecom-ing queen her senior year ofhigh school.

We tried to lead her inthe right direction and makeher know the value of a dol-lar, her father said.

Lindsay said she hopes tofinish college in three years,get a teaching job andraise a family in her home-town.

I would never move outof Greenfield, she said. I

just love everybody here.Shes saving the

$450-a-month rent pay-ments from the house so sheand her 22-year-old fiance,Heath McNeal, can buy asmall house when they getmarried in 2011.

Eventually, the couplewants to buy land and buildtheir dream home on top ofa hill.

Her father has no doubtthatll happen.

We tried tolead her in the

right directionand make her

know the valueof a dollar.

Ohio toughens governorsresidence inmate program

By ANDREWWELSH-HUGGINSThe Associated Press

COLUMBUS Inmatesworking at the governors

residence will have to sign alog whenever they use toolsand will be limited in wherethey can go on the propertyin suburban Columbus, undernew rules announced Fridayin the wake of a contrabandscandal.

Inmates will also be loggedin by highway patrol officerswhen they arrive at the resi-dence in Bexley and loggedout again when they leave,according to the rules.

The new rules also requiretroopers to account forinmates whereabouts in writ-ing every 30 minutes. Inmateswill also be prohibited from

working outside the fencesurrounding the property.

The inmate work pro-gram, begun more than 40years ago under Gov. C.William ONeill, has been

a positive vocational expe-rience for inmates overthe years, according to theagreement between the statepatrol, prison system andstate administrative services

department.While there will, inevi-

tably, be individuals whowill violate program rules,the successes flowing fromthese efforts have continu-ally exceeded these disap-pointments, the agreementsaid.

But some improvementsare necessary because ofwidespread tobacco smug-gling that followed the 2008ban on all tobacco productsin Ohio prisons, the agree-ment said.

A report last month bythe state watchdog, InspectorGeneral Tom Charles, said

inmates were using the gov-ernors residence to smuggletobacco into the prisons.

These unacceptable inci-dents demonstrated the needto further improve the man-

agement and operation ofthe program, the agreementsaid.

State Sen. David Goodman,who has introduced a bill thatwould regulate the program,

said he continues to leantoward legislation over theprogram.

Im pleased to see that theadministration has decided totake the inspector generalsand my concerns with theinmate program seriously,Goodman said. I am review-ing their memorandum tomake sure that it will suf-ficiently make the programsafe and secure.

POLITICS Tact is, after all, a kind of mind-reading. Sarah Orne Jewett, American author (1849-1909)www.delphosherald.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Thanks to the Delphos Library Boardfor the renewal of ancestry.com in thegenealogy room at the Delphos PublicLibrary. This resource is loaded withinformation for the family historian whodoesnt want to wander far from home.

The genealogy room at our locallibrary is a real treasure, located in aspecial spot on the west side of theoffice area.

The recent TV program Who Am

I? has sparked a little more interestin digging for your roots, much as themovie Roots did years ago.

My grand-daughter, Brenda, wasinspired by this program, so she tookthe 14 day free trial on ancestry.com.One evening when she was looking forsomething exciting to do, she justgave ancestry a try. She searched fromone generation to another finding fam-ily records back to the 800s in France.That was on her Grandma Feliciasancestors. The info on the trial run hasbeen submitted by individuals .thus itis subject to error.

Brenda was first introduced to gene-alogy a few years back, when she hadFamily Tree Treasure Hunt as a 4-Hproject.

If genealogists want to subscribe touse the home edition of ancestry.com,they must pay a monthly or annual fee.This source will give the subscriber allkinds of information.

However, patrons can go to manylibraries to use Ancestry.com for free.

The Delphos Public Library and thePutnam County Library offer this free ser-vice. Heather Keller at the Delphos libraryis the employee most familiar with theprogram. She is happy to assist patrons inlearning how to use the program.

Ruth Wilhelm recently held a classat the Ft. Jennings Branch Library onancestry.com and heritage quest. Ruth isdirector of the local history departmentof the Putnam County Library. Thislocal history room has been in the Ft.

Jennings location since the 2007 Flood

hit Ottawa, flooding the library. Groundhas been broken for the new countylibrary in Ottawa. Patrons can use the

local history room in Fort Jennings for

the next few months until it returns tothe main library.

The Putnam County Library offers

both Ancestry and Heritage Quest.Heritage Quest is also available onthe home computer to those who havea Putnam County Library card. RuthWilhelm reported that the PutnamCounty Library had 8500 searches in2009. This included both Web sites.

The number of topics available onAncestry is endless. The following is apartial listing:

Birth & Death Records, SocialSecurity Records, Census (1790 1930),Obituaries, Passenger Lists, PERSI,Books, Revolutionary War, FreemansBank (Slavery) and Mortality Schedules.Ancestry is beginning to cover highschool year books. The nearest fromthis area is Findlay High School.

Heritage Quest covers much of the

same material but it concentrates moreon records in the US, while Ancestrygoes world wide.

The 1930 Census is not yet completeon Ancestry. The 1940 census willcome out in 2012.

To get started, just put in a name(first or surname) and see what happens.As the TV message says: You donthave to know what youre looking for just look.

Enjoy! Happy hunting!

Theyhave my support and I know they will continue to give it theirbest.

Respectfully,9-1-1 Coordinator

WASHINGTON

Congress is getting tougheron both borrowers and lend-ers blamed for inflating ahousing bubble that, when itpopped, plunged the nationinto a severe recession twoyears ago.

Under sweeping finan-cial overhauls that have nowpassed the House and Senate,home buyers wont be ableto get a mortgage withoutproducing pay stubs or otherevidence they can maketheir monthly payments. Anew consumer watchdogwill police lenders who offerimpossible-to-resist subprimemortgages and then jack upthe interest rates to impossi-ble-to-pay levels.

The bills, which still haveto be blended into one thatcould reach the presidentsdesk this summer, also shinemore light on complex buthidden financial instruments,the derivatives that madelong-odds bets on whetherAmericans could make pay-ments on mortgages theynever should have qualifiedfor.

The legislation takes aimat the credit and securitiesmarkets that collapsed when

those bets turned out to bewrong, prompting Congressand the Federal Reserve toput up more than $2 trillion

to prevent a panic that mightwell have triggered a globaldepression.

Still, for all their ambition,lawmakers left some gapingquestions on how to tacklesome of the most significantfinancial sector weaknessesexposed by the 2008 financialmeltdown from mortgagegiants Fannie Mae and FreddieMac to unsettled disputes overbanks and their derivativesbusiness and requirementsthat they hold more capital.And in the rough and tumblegive and take of writing laws,they rejected tougher mea-sures that would have forcedbehemoth banks to downsize,required securitizers to retainsome credit risk in their loans,and compelled home buyersto put a downpayment ontheir loans.

If anything, however, thepolitical environment hasgrown more populist since theHouse passed its legislationin December a trend thatwill likely protect the tougherprovisions in both bills.

Heres a broad look at ele-ments of the bill and whatthey do and dont do to avoida repeat of a financial crisis:

LENDING:In passing its sweeping

rewrite of financial regula-tions, the Senate does not

embrace Shakespeares admo-nition: Neither a borrowernor a lender be.

But it makes it tougher.Mortgage brokers wont be

able to make money on highinterest loans; buyers wontbe able to lie about their abil-ity to pay as loan officers lookthe other way.

The Senate rejected a pro-posal that would have requiredhome buyers to place a mini-mum 5 percent downpaymenton their mortgages. It alsorolled back a provision thatwould have required lenderswho sell their mortgages tohold 5 percent of the creditrisk as skin in the game,designed to ensure they wrotesafe loans. Instead, lenderswho write loans that meetstrict underwriting stan-dards could sell their loansand avoid the risk retentionrequirement.

Lending would be over-seen by a new agency.The House sets up a stand-alone Consumer FinancialProtection Agency with rulewriting powers. The Senatesets up an independent bureauwithin the Federal Reserveand its rules could be vetoed

by the oversight council ofregulators. House FinancialService Committee ChairmanBarney Frank indicated the

agency would not likely endup in the Fed, but otherwisesaid the authorities of the twoentities were similar.

I thought wed have amajor fight over the indepen-dence of the CFPA, he said.Not a problem.

Fixing the government-sponsored mortgage giantsFannie Mae and Freddie Macwas put off for another day.

The two companies low-ered their standards for bor-rowers during the housingboom and now those high-risk loans are defaulting at arecord pace. The governmenthas been forced to rescue themto the tune of $145 billion.

Administration officialshave said an overhaul of thetwo will be a priority nextyear. And, as a Band-Aidmeasure, the Senate approveda provision ordering a study,which is already under way atTreasury.

What we did and Iwould be the first to admit it,being the author of the provi-sion is fairly anemic in lightof what we need to be doing,Senate Banking CommitteeChairman Christopher Doddconceded.

Thrift Shop great forbabysitters, campers

Is it my imagination, ordoes time seem to be goingby more quickly than everbefore? The kids just startedschool, didnt they? How canthey be getting ready to be

dismissed for thesummer?

I still had a wadof Christmas lightsthat I found justthis week that musthave fallen betweenthe bed and the endof the dresser thatI had forgotten totuck back into thebox which meansanother trip back up tothe attic! And it alsomeans I was trying to catchup on some neglected clean-ing I guess.

Well, anyhow, if youreway ahead of me in that

spring cleaning thing, whichmost people are, I hope maybeyou remembered the ThriftShop when you weeded outyour closet. I did actually dothat and some still had thetags on that I dropped off atthe donation window. Also,since its getting close to allthe garage sale events, please

think of the Thrift Shop withthings that might be leftfrom your sale. We wouldappreciate it if you couldremove the sales tags fromyour items before donating

them. Everythingfrom clothing tohousehold items,glassware, pots andpans, dishes, rugs,blankets and tow-els its all verymuch appreciatedand welcomed.

Thank you tothose that havecome through with

By ANDREW SELIGMANThe Associated Press

CHICAGO DeMarcusCousins understands there arequestions about his maturity,his focus and whether heseven a good teammate.

The way he sees it, thatsridiculous.

The big center fromKentucky was out to provehes not really a bad guy andmaybe boost his standing atthe NBAs draft combine thisweek.

While fellow WildcatJohn Wall and Ohio StatesEvan Turner figure to go toWashington and Philadelphiawith the top two picks nextmonth, the next few spots

appear to be up for grabs.The New Jersey Nets selectthird; Cousins could be a can-didate along with GeorgiaTech power forward DerrickFavors and Syracuse smallforward Wesley Johnson.

I just want them to knowthe truth and get that percep-tion ... out of their head,Cousins said.

So what is the truth?Its what you see now,

Cousins said. Im a good guy.Cousins has until the draft

on June 24 to make his caseand convince a team like theNets to match him up front

with Brook Lopez instead ofFavors. To some, that wouldbe a bold step for new ownerMikhail Prokhorov ifNew Jersey kept thepick.

The 6-10 Favors wasthe ACC rookie of theyear for Georgia Techafter ranking secondon the team in scoring(12.4 points a game) andrebounds (8.4). He com-pares himself to AmareStoudemire with his abil-ity to run and finish anddoesnt come with as muchbaggage.

I think Georgia Tech got

me ready, he said. I thinkitll be a good transition.Cousins feels hes ready,

too.With a mean streak to match

his 6-11, 292-pound frame, hedominated on the inside forKentucky while earning SECfreshman of the year and first-team All-America honors.

He averaged 15.1 pointsand 9.9 rebounds while help-ing Kentucky go 35-3 on theway to the SEC regular seasonand conference titles in its

first season under coach JohnCalipari.

Not bad, considering foul

trouble and lopsided scoreslimited him to 23.5 minutesa game.

Thats never reallya question, he said.Its always about thered flag. My gamesnot a question. Its justa perception.

The red flag stemsfrom concerns abouthis focus and bodylanguage. He didntalways get back ondefense and his tem-per boiled over when

he threw a forearm at JaredSwopshire of Louisville in anationally-televised game.

His weight is an issue, too.Cousins is on a seafoodand salad diet in an effortto improve his conditioning;hes incorporated boxing intohis training regimen.

If you talk to any of myteammates, youll get a posi-tive answer back, he said.

Yet he understands someview him as sort of the vil-lain of this draft and even hadsome fun with it.

He recalled Calipari toldhim to come in and smile.

He asked: Which onewould you take, a nasty bigman or a friendly one?

And he talked about hischildhood dream of playing inthe NFL. There was one smallproblem, though.

I was terrible, he said.He played everywhere.I wasnt that good but

they just put me in spots,Cousins said.

He stopped playing footballafter the seventh grade andtook up basketball as an eighth-grader. It didnt take him longto realize he could make aliving at it and he insisted hesmore versatile than most peo-ple realize, that he can faceup and doesnt have to anchorhimself in the post.

Cal wanted me to playwith my back to the basket, sothats what I did, he added.

With a 7-6 wingspan andalmost automatic ability to fin-ish down low, Cousins couldsimply be nasty for opponentsif he keeps his nasty side incheck. If he does, others canpick up those red flags.

Note: Favors said he metwith San Antonio, whichholds the 20th pick. I feel liketheyre trying to make a moveto try to get me, he added.

Cousins hopes to change perceptions at combine(Late Thursday)DIVISION III DISTRICT

DELPHOS WhenDelphos resident GlenBrantley graduated from highschool in 1966, the world washis oyster. He chose to seeit by enlisting in the MarineCorps but before his travelsbegan, he had to first visit alittle place called Paris Island,NC.

After drill instructorsmolded the recruit into aMarine, Brantley receivedadditional infantry train-ing at Camp Geiger, NC.He attended air-traffic con-

trol school at the recruitdepot in San Diego. Then,the Corps sent him toYuma, AZ, for more thantwo years. At that point,Brantley shipped out to aglobal hot spot that was novacation: Vietnam.

He had been trained toman radar equipment to helppilots navigate in dog fightsbut he never used the comput-ers for anything but takeoffsand landings, explaining thatthe enemy had no aircraft asfar as he knew.

Every day was just likeany work day. When I gotthere, I did mess duty for

a month just like everybody

else, he said. Then, we didsix hours on the radar and12 hours off; then six backon and six on and 12 off andback and forth; and someonehad to stand guard duty. So,you had maybe 12-hour daysor maybe 18.

Brantley was at a baseon Monkey Mountain nearDanang. After a short timeof manning radars, he tookadvantage of an opportunity

to get out a little more.

Monkey Mountain wasright outside Danang. TheNavy docked all of its shipsbelow us and the moun-tain was right there. Theyput us out on a peninsulabecause our equipment waspretty expensive stuff andthey didnt want it gettinghit. I was in the jungle butnot down in it getting mybutt shot at. I was so safe; Itell people Al Gore was mybodyguard. Thats how safeI was, he said. After fourmonths, the courier rotatedback and they wanted some-one who would be there atleast eight months. So, theycalled me in and asked me if

I wanted the job. You had todrive to Danang two or threetimes a day, back and forth,but that was the job. I had tohave a security clearance togo down and pick up pap
