Ottoville awards FifthStreet project bidBY SANDY LANGHALS

Staff Writer

OTTOVILLE OttovilleVillage Council membersawarded the bid for widen-

ing Fifth Street Monday eve-ning. The contract was givento Hohenbrink Excavating.

Council had to decide ifit wanted to award the bidwith or without an optionalalternative. This included anadditional cost for removingrolled curbing and replacingit with standing curbing.

Council decided to awardthe bid with added curbwork. The total cost of thebid with the additional costis $139,087.81.

It was discovered thatsomeone had broken the lockon an inside maintenanceroom door. It is unclear what

happened. This door is usu-ally propped open becauseit automatically locks. Itappears that someone mayhave shut the door by acci-dent and needed to get backin so they forced their wayin. There does not seem tobe anything missing fromthe room.

Since the door needed anew lock, council decided toreplace all of the locks in thebuilding. Now, only mainte-nance personnel have a keyto the maintenance rooms.

Fiscal Officer JeanneWannemacher asked councilto update a 2006 resolution

authorizing the fire depart-ments execution agreementfor mutual aid with otherarea towns or villages. Theinsurance company recom-mended updating the resolu-tion.

Council member BobAltenburger brought up thepossibility of applying forgrant money for sidewalks.He said he will check intothe protocol and get backwith council on whether ornot it would be worth theirtime to pursue.

While working in theconcession stand a fewweeks ago, Council memberRandy Altenburger noticedthat an outlet for the micro-wave wasnt working. He

was asked to check with theOttoville Park Board and seewho is responsible for tak-ing care of it.

Five-high bleachers werebrought up by council mem-ber Jerry Markward. Hestates that if bleachers arefive high, they are supposedto have rails on them. Hediscussed the possibility ofcutting off the top three andmaking new sections thatwould be lower to avoidthe requirements. He wasasked to talk with the ParkBoard and let them makethe decision on what to dowith them.

Mayor Ron Miller toldcouncil a local mothers clubhas asked to use the hallwayin the building on the sec-ond Sunday of every monthfor their meetings. Councildidnt see a problem withit as long as they signed alease and that the liabilitywas determined. Altenburgerwas asked to see if the vil-lage insurance would coverthem or if they need theclub to provide their owninsurance. Once the liabilityis determined and settled,Miller stated that he wouldnotify the club.

Miller also said a prop-

erty owner wants to knowif the village had an interestin purchasing his property.Apparently, the house wasdamaged in a fire and theinsurance is not forcing theproperty owner to rebuild.Miller said he would seeif the village had any usefor the land. Nothing wasdecided on the matter at thistime.

The next OttovilleCouncil meeting will beginat 7 p.m. on June 20 in thevillage town hall.

Hanneman says students

have taught her, tooBY MIKE FORD

[email protected]

OTTOVILLE Since1971, Darlene Hannemanhas taught at the home of theBig Green. After 40 yearsin the class-room, she putsdown her penciland transitionsinto retirement.The 60-year-oldmother of fourand grandmotherof two doesnt

think 40 years isas long a time asone may think.

Forty yearssounds like along time but itseems just likeyesterday that thecommunity welcomed me asa first-year teacher. I was 20years old and fresh out ofBGSU; this has been my only job, she said. I remembercoming here with my headfull of ideas to make a dif-ference. I thought I was theteacher and the students weremy pupils. How wrong I was;I have learned so much fromthose around me.

Hanneman says she hasreceived more than she hasgiven, despite what othersmay say about her.

People say I gave thegifts of energy, enthusiasm,honesty, respect, love andself but I want to turn thataround and say thats whattheyve given me. I havebeen privileged to havemany fine young people inmy classroom and colleaguesI am proud to pay tribute tofor their friendship and sup-

port, she said.Shes also grateful to the

residents.There have not only been

great kids here over the yearsbut their parents have beenfantastic, too. Ottoville is a

great communi-ty, she added.

H a n n e m a nretires with acouple memo-ries to high-light:

A lot ofthe Christmas

parties we hadover the yearsstand out. Ihave alwaystaught first,second andthird grades

and we had tohelp put on the Christmasprogram every year. Thosewere always a lot of funand packing everything upto move into the new build-ing was an experience. Inthe old building, we werealways on the top floor andit was very hot; we man-aged to teach with two orthree fans going in the win-dows, she said.

Its with gratitude that Ilook back and remember themusicals, field trips, specialtreats, smiles and hugs andthe hard work put in by allto succeed. This has been anexciting journey and I amthankful to all of my travel-ing companions to whom Iam forever grateful for theirstimulating company andthe enormous collection ofshared experiences. As BobHope used to say, thanks forthe memories.

HannemanCamping: worlds end actually in Oct.By GARANCE BURKE

The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. Ascrestfallen followers of aCalifornia preacher who fore-saw the worlds end strainedto find meaning in their lives,Harold Camping revisedhis apocalyptic prophecy

Monday, saying he was offby five months and the Earthactually will be obliterated onOct. 21.

Camping, who predictedthat 200 million Christianswould be taken to heavenSaturday before global cata-clysm struck the planet, saidhe felt so terrible when hisdoomsday message did notcome true that he left homeand took refuge in a motelwith his wife. His indepen-dent ministry, Family RadioInternational, spent millions

some of it from donationsmade by followers onmore than 5,000 billboardsand 20 RVs plastered withthe Judgment Day message.

Follower Jeff Hopkinsalso spent a good deal of hisown retirement savings ongas money to power his carso people would see its omi-

nous lighted sign showcasingCampings May 21 warning.As the appointed day drewnearer, Hopkins started mak-ing the 100-mile round tripfrom Long Island to NewYork City twice a day, spend-ing at least $15 on gas eachtrip.

Ive been mocked andscoffed and cursed at andIve been through a lot withthis lighted sign on top ofmy car, said Hopkins, 52,a former television producerwho lives in Great River, NY.

I was doing what Ive beeninstructed to do through theBible, but now Ive been sty-mied. Its like getting slappedin the face.

Camping, who made aspecial appearance before thepress at the Oakland head-quarters of the media empireMonday evening, apologized

for not having the datesworked out as accurately asI could have.

Through chatting with afriend over what he acknowl-edged was a very difficultweekend, it dawned on himthat instead of the biblicalRapture in which the faith-ful would be swept up to theheavens, May 21 had insteadbeen a spiritual JudgmentDay, which places the entireworld under Christs judg-

On May 14, letter carriersfrom the Delphos Post Officeheld a food drive in conjunc-tion with carriers from all overAmerica to Help Stamp OutHunger.

Although the total amountcollected was down slightlyfrom last year, it was stilla huge success with 1,720pounds of non-perishablefood collected and distributedto local food banks. On rep-resentative breathed a sigh ofrelief and told me this willstock their shelves for a couplemonths all the while empha-sizing the need for this foodand also their sincere gratitudeto the community.

A task such as this couldnot be accomplished withoutthe help of others and so,on behalf of the letter car-riers, wed like to thank thelocal media for promoting thisevent.

Thanks also to our localmanagement, Marilyn andDan, for their cooperationas well as the rural carriers,Donna, Brenda and Brock, forcollecting on their routes; andthe clerks who worked thatday, Janet and Lisa, for takingcare of the collected food inthe lobby and for weighingeverything as we brought it in.It was a huge help.

Special thanks to Janet andStacy Taff for driving aroundand collecting food from usand getting it weighed andready for us to distribute.

Most importantly, wedlike to thank our customersfor their donations becausewithout your help, this fooddrive would not have been thesuccess it was.

So many of our friends andneighbors who are in needhave benefited from your gen-erosity and you helped put asmile on their face.

ment, he said.The globe will be com-

pletely destroyed in fivemonths, he said, when theapocalypse comes. Butbecause Gods judgment andsalvation were completed onSaturday, theres no point incontinuing to warn people

about it, so his network willnow just play Christian musicand programs until the finalend on Oct. 21.

Weve always said May21 was the day, but we didntunderstand altogether thespiritual meaning, he said.The fact is there is onlyone kind of people who willascend into heaven ... if Godhas saved them theyre goingto be caught up.

Its not the first time the

89-year-old retired civil engi-neer has been dismissed bythe Christian mainstream andhas been forced to explainwhen his prediction didntcome to pass. Camping alsoprophesied the Apocalypsewould come in 1994, but saidlater that didnt happen thenbecause of a mathematicalerror.

Monday, rather than givehis normal daily broadcast,Camping took questions asa part of his show, OpenForum, which transmits hisbiblical interpretations via thegroups radio stations, TVchannels, satellite broadcastsand website.

Campings hands shookslightly as he pinned hismicrophone to his lapel, andas he clutched a worn Biblehe spoke in a quivery mono-tone about some listenersearthly concerns after givingaway possessions in expecta-tion of the Rapture.

Family Radio would never

tell anyone what they shoulddo with their belongings, andthose who had fewer wouldcope, Camping said.

Were not in the businessof financial advice, he said.

Were in the business of tell-ing people theres someonewho you can maybe talk to,maybe pray to, and thatsGod.

But he also said that hewouldnt give away all hispossessions ahead of Oct 21.

I still have to live in ahouse, I still have to drive acar, he said. What would

be the value of that? If it isJudgment Day why would Igive it away?

Apocalyptic thinking hasalways been part of Americanreligious life and popular cul-ture. Teachings about the endof the world vary dramati-cally even within faithtraditions about how theywill occur.

Still, the overwhelmingmajority of Christians rejectthe idea that the exact date ortime of Jesus return can bepredicted.

Tim LaHaye, co-author ofthe best-selling Left Behindnovels about the end times,

recently called Campings pre-diction not only bizarre but100 percent wrong! He citedthe Bible verse Matthew 24:36,but about that day or hour noone knows except God.

Chad Diltz, 35, Delphos,was sentenced to spend a basicprison term of two years on acharge of trafficking in drugs,a felony of the third degree.

Diltz was arrested for sell-ing Oxycodone within thevicinity of a juvenile. The salewas made to an undercover

agent working for the WestCentral Crime Task Force inJuly 2010.

Judge Steele gave Diltzcredit for 41 days he hadserved in jail awaiting finaldisposition of the case.

Nathan Dunn, 28, VanWert, was sent to prison foreighteen months on a chargeof trafficking in drugs, a felo-ny of the fourth degree.

Dunn was given credit for75 days of time he spent in jail awaiting final dispositionof his case.

PETA seeks to put up billboardDAYTON (AP) An ani-

mal rights group is trying toput up a billboard that wouldplay on the local case of awoman convicted of cook-ing her baby in a microwaveoven.

The Dayton Daily Newsreports one outdoor adver-

tising firm has turned downthe billboard, which wouldshow images of a mother pigand piglet and a person put-ting a pork chop in a micro-wave. People for the Ethical

Treatment of Animals, orPETA, wants the ad to say:Everybodys somebodysbaby. Go vegan.

PETA spokeswomanAshley Gonzalez tells thenewspaper the group is work-ing to get another company toaccept the billboard.

China Arnold of Daytonwas sentenced Friday to lifein prison without parole forthe microwave murder ofher 28-day-old daughter in2005.

COLUMBUS (AP) Vendors pressed former Gov.Ted Strickland to take careof his administrations unpaidbills in the final days of his

term and continuing after heleft office, according to recordsreviewed by The AssociatedPress.

Emails from Januaryshow that Ohio GovernmentTelevision got in touch with thegovernors office regarding anunpaid bill for $30,000. It wasfour days before Stricklandwas to leave office.

I know there are 10 millionother things on your mind,OGTV executive directorDan Shellenbarger wrote tothen-communications directorKeith Dailey, but as usual Iwas wondering if there wereany hold-ups with the pay-ment?

A panel of Ohio lawmak-ers agreed Monday to giveStricklands successor,Republican John Kasich, themoney to cover $330,000 inbills the new administrationsays were left behind when theDemocrat left office.

The final amount approvedby the State Controlling Boardwas less than the $418,000Kasich originally sought. Itrepresents a fraction of a per-cent of the states $25 billion-plus annual general revenuebudget.

State email reveal the grow-ing frustration that led to therequest. Kasichs spokesman,

Rob Nichols, called it justanother mess we are beingforced to clean up.

The biggest snag was overabout $120,000 due to the stateDepartment of AdministrativeServices, which gets paymentsfrom other state agencies forhandling their computer andtelecommunications functions.

The sum also included twoyears of membership duesto the National GovernorsAssociation at $88,000 a yearand about $22,000 a monthin unemployment costs forStrickland employees stillwithout jobs.

DAS fiscal services man-

ager John Yoho wrote to MikeBowen, Stricklands chief fis-cal officer, in early Septemberwondering what had happenedto a box packed with 51 pastdue invoices that had beensent over for payment somefive months earlier. Somedated back to 2007, the yearStrickland took office.

Yoho wrote again on Sept.22 and Oct. 12 when noth-ing had changed. At the time,Strickland and Kasich were inthe thick of an intensely com-petitive and closely watchedgovernors race.

After Strickland lost theelection and his administrationwas winding down its days

in office, the pile of invoicesremained.

By December, emails show,the issue had reached the high-est levels of the Office ofBudget and Management toBudget Director Pari Sabetysassistant, David Ellis.

If he does not settle it mostlikely it will get kicked overthe wall to the next administra-tion, administrative servicesQuentin Potter said of Ellis ina Dec. 27 email to Yoho.

Reached Monday, Ellis saidhe couldnt comment becausehe didnt recall any of thedetails of the exchange.

COLUMBUS GROVE Crestview picked a bigwin Saturday when they wona Division IV district soft-ball title. As they closed outNorthwest Conference playMonday with ColumbusGrove, the Knights were hop-ing there would be noletdown.

There was no let-down for the LadyKnights as they jumpedout to an early lead in defeat-ing the Bulldogs 10-3 in NWCaction. The win allows theKnights to claim an out-right NWC crown at 9-0and they are 18-4 overall.The Lady Bulldogs fin-ished the season at 5-4in the NWC and 14-10overall.

Crestview came out strongloading the bases on singles byTaylor Hamrick and DanicaHicks before Jessica Burgerworked a walk. MackenzieRichard hit a sharp grounderto third that Bulldog infield-er Erica Walker turned intoan out at home plate. TheKnights didnt let this earlyopportunity escape them asDanica Hicks scored on a wildpitch before Maddie Prestonhit a ground ball to short thatscored Burger with the teamssecond run. Richard scoredon another wild pitch beforea popup to third base ended

the inning.We got those runs on

the board early and that wasimportant, Crestview coachOwen Pugh said. We kind ofhad a little let down after that.We needed to get this game into the conference over with.We wante dto win this gameas we didnt want to share theconference with anyone. Wemay have been looking aheadto Thursday and the regionalsand we werent on top of ourgame as we would have liked,but we got the job done.

Columbus Grove cameback with a run in the bottomof the first as Taylor Haineslined a single to center and

stole second base. After anout, Bobbi Heckel sacrificedHaines to third base and shescored on a single to left byEmily Frick. A line drive tofirst base ended the inning.

After the opening inningPreston was on top of her gameshe blanked the Bulldogs overthe next five innings allowingjust three base runners the restof the game. Haines reachedthird base in the third inningsafter collecting another singlebefore she stole second baseand took third on a sacrificebunt by Micah Stechschulte.She was stranded there as afly ball to right ended theinning.

Preston went six inningsallowing one run on four hitswith nine strikeouts and awalk.

She pitched well, Pughsaid. We were hoping to pullher a little sooner, but wedidnt score quite enough runsto feel comfortable, so we lefther in there an extra inning.

After scoring three timesin the first inning, the Knightsleft runners on base in the sec-

ond and third innings. In thefourth the Knights added tworuns to their lead as they wereable to take advantage of twoGrove throwing errors.

Maddie Etzler started theinning reaching on an errorat shortstop. With McKenzieNofer at the plate, Etzler wascalled out for leaving the basetoo soon. After the out Nofer

reached on an error bythe second baseman.Nofer stole second beforeHolly Genth reached ona wild throw to first base

on her ground ball to third.Genth ended up on third base

as the throw to first baserolled down the right-fieldline. A ground ball to firstbase by Taylor Springerscored Genth making it a5-1 game.

We have been a gooddefensive team all season,Columbus Grove coach BrianSchroeder said. It was justone of those nights where theerrors accumulated and hurtus. They are one of the pre-mier programs in the area andthey hit the ball hard and putsome pressure on us with theirshort game and we threw theball around.

The knights extended theirlead in the fifth as Burgersingled to center and Richardreached on another Bulldogfielding error that put runnersat second and third base. Awild pitch and a passed ballallowed the runs to score andmake it a 7-2 game.

Crestview finished theirscoring in the seventh inningas Burger singled with one outand scored as Richard tripledto right-center field just overthe outstretched glove of theBulldogs Haley Grigsby.Kirstin Hicks followed withan RBI groundout. BrittanyHelt followed with a walk,took second on a passed balland scored as Angie Piercelined a single to left.

In the bottom of the seven,Kirstin Hicks came to pitchand allowed two runs as theKnight defense suffered acouple of throwing errors.

Katelyn Scott opened the

Bulldog seventh by reachingon a single just out of thereach of Hicks in the circle.Grigsby was hit by a pitchbefore Cece Utendorf reachedon an error by the first base-man that allowed Scott toscore. a passed ball allowedGrigsby to score.

Burger had three hits andscored three times for theKnights, while Richarad hada hit, RBI and scored threetimes. The Knights had justseven hits in the game.

At one time we looked andthe hits were tied at 4-4, Pughsaid. They had some errors thatallowed us to score runs. Thathappens some times and you

just have to take what you get.Now we have to get focused forThursday and North Baltimorein the regionals.

Heckel went the distancefor Grove as she allowed 10runs, two earned, on sevenhits with four walks. Hainesand Frick both had two hitsfor the Bulldogs.

Lady Knights seize NWC crown

Calvelage

FINDLAY Allseason, Erin Calvelagehas been gunning forthe Division II NationalOutdoor Track andField Championships.

B e g i n n i n gThursday, she will beone of the perform-ers for the nation-ally-ranked (25th)University of Findlay LadyOilers track team at the cham-pionships being held at theAl Benda Track of WarriorStadium at California StateUniversity-Stanislaus inTurlock, Calif.

She will be in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

In Division II, there areno regionals. There is justthe Nationals, Calvelage, a junior for the Oilers and a2008 graduate of St. Johns,explained. Its all timing.There is an automatic timethat will get you in 10:30or under this season andthere is a provisional time 11:10 this year thatwill give you a chance. Therewere 24 girls that made it pro-visionally and 17 are going. Iam ranked 16th out of them;my best time is 10:56.

The steeplechase is defi-

nitely not the traditional dis-tance running event that isseen at the high school level.

For one, there are barriers,about 35 of them, accordingto Calvelage, that one mustjump over and maintain theirbalance while doing so.

Secondly, there is water;quite a bit of it after you jumpseven of those barriers.

There is about 2 to 2 1/2feet of water after you makethose jumps. The key is to tryand avoid the water as muchas possible because you dont

want to get your shoes toowater-logged, she explained.The more water-logged they

get, the more it slowsyou down.

The preliminar-ies are Thursday and Iam not sure right nowhow many they taketo Saturdays finals; Ibelieve its 12.

She will be oneof 18 the Oilers aresending both menand women to the

Nationals.Among them are Bluffton

High School grads JohnGuagenti, running in the400-meter dash and in the4x400-meter relay, and Shane

Shockey, doing the pole vault;and Bath alum Jessica Vorst,throwing the shot put.

In the spring outdoor sea-son, I usually only run in oneevent; it is either the stee-plechase or the 1,500-meterrun. I have run the steeple-chase two other times thisspring and I ran in the 5,000meters one time last spring,Calvelage noted. The 1,500is considered a speed workoutwhen compared to the 3,000.In the winter indoor season, Iusually run in three events. Inthe fall, I run cross country,so there isnt a lot of time off.Youre doing a lot of trainingin the summer as well to getprepared for the seasons.

All that running has takena toll on Calvelage.

I had knee surgery last

November. I was running inpain and finally decided tohave the surgery, she added.I have one more year of eli-gibility left and I figure thatwill be it. You always thinkabout trying to move fartheron, maybe even try for theOlympics, but I dont see thatin my future.

The mens outdoor trackand field team is ranked20th.

Tim Sanders, a sopho-more hurdler from Jefferson,is also on the Oilers mensteam but did not advance tothe Nationals.

The University of Findlays Erin Calvelage, a graduate of St. Johns, leaps over one ofthe barriers in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. She will be running in the event this weekendat the Division II Outdoor Track and Field Nationals at Turlock, Calif.

ALL-PCL HONORS MLB CAPSULES

By JENNA FRYERThe Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. There was shock, maybe evenoutrage, when David Pearsondidnt make the inauguralclass of the NASCAR Hallof Fame.

If Pearson felt slighted, henever told anyone.

Pearson made the waitworth it Monday night, head-lining the inauguration of thefive-member second class. Ashe did last year, when he waspassed over for induction,Pearson called on the vot-ing panel to elect NASCARs

pioneers before anyone else.Im being honest, none ofus should be in it, Pearsonsaid, throwing his supportbehind the likes of CottonOwens, Raymond Parks andRay Fox. I keep going backto the ones that really startedit. The older guys ought to goin first, the ones that reallystarted it and even me, I dontdeserve to go in now.

But Pearson, winner ofthree championships and 105

races, understood why he wasselected. He was introducedby long-time rival RichardPetty and inducted by carowner Leonard Wood, whocalled Pearson the great-est driver in the history ofNASCAR.

Pearson was inductedalong with 84-race win-ner Bobby Allison; PettyEnterprises patriarch and3-time Cup champion LeePetty; Bud Moore, a deco-rated World War II veteranand 2-time Cup champion-

ship team owner; and 2-timechampion and noted broad-caster Ned Jarrett.

The first class, inductedlast May, featured 7-time Cupchampions Richard Petty andDale Earnhardt, former driverand car owner Junior Johnsonand NASCAR Bill France Sr.and his son, former chairmanBill France Jr.

While Pearson broughtlaughter to the ceremony withtales of his storied career,

Allison drew tears as he andbrother, Donnie, reflected ontheir family losses.

Bobby Allison was nearlykilled in a 1987 accident thatpermanently erased chunks ofhis memory. His son Cliffordwas killed in an accident atMichigan and son Davey died11 months to the day later in ahelicopter crash at Talladega.

Donnie Allison inductedhis brother and said the tollsplit Bobby from his wife,Judy. But when 19-year-old Adam Petty was killedin a 2000 accident at NewHampshire, the two reunitedto comfort the Petty family

together.We lost Clifford, we lostDavey, that was just so hardon me and Judy, Allisonsaid. You know, the world Ihope never is that cruel to anyother family again. But it hap-pened. We survived it.

Jarrett spoke of the com-mitment he made to his healthwhen plans were announcedto build NASCARs only Hallof Fame so that hed live longenough to be inducted.

Ive worked extremelyhard on my health the lastseveral years for this pur-pose, said the 78-year-oldJarrett. I wanted to live forother reasons, too, but thatwas a big reason I wanted tobe around for a while. I amtruly honored to be amongthis class.

Monday nights ceremonydrew major star power to helpwith the inductees: FormerPresident George H.W. Bushnarrated the video to introduceLee Petty, while newscasterand author Tom Brokaw nar-rated Moores.

Bush lauded Lee Petty asthe patriarch of what wouldbe one of the most famousfamilies, not only in NASCARbut in all of American sports.Lee Petty set a standard ofexcellence that helped definethe sport through the years,a standard few drivers wouldever match. Its no coinci-dence that one driver whodid was Lees son, 7-timechampion Richard Petty, myfriend.

By JEFF LATZKEThe Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY A decades worth of playoff

experience has taught DirkNowitzki plenty about hard-ship. Jason Kidd knowsit well, too.

Now, its starting tolook as if the tide hasturned for the DallasMavericks.

Nowitzki scored 40points, Kidd hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 40seconds left in overtimeand the Mavericks ralliedfrom a 15-point deficitin the final 5 minutesof regulation to stun theOklahoma City Thunder 112-105 on Monday night andtake a 3-1 lead in the WesternConference finals.

Its just a bunch of veter-ans with a lot of unique sto-ries. A lot of guys have beenthrough a lot in this league andhave been around forever,Nowitzki said. A bunch ofguys have been to the finals. ...Ultimately, we have one goaland we came together andfought through some stuff.

Already with an improb-able sweep over the 2-timedefending champion LosAngeles Lakers under theirbelts, the Mavericks cameback from a 99-84 deficit with5 minutes left in regulation tomove within one win of theNBA finals.

They handed the Thunder

their first consecutive losses

of the postseason and firstback-to-back home losses insix months to earn a chance toclinch the series on their homecourt in Game 5 Wednesday

night in Dallas.We worked really hard

these two games to winand none of that guaran-tees anything for Game5. We know that, saidcoach Rick Carlisle.

The Mavs have wonat least 50 games in 11straight seasons with notitles and only one trip tothe NBA finals to showfor it.

Dallas didnt lead untilNowitzki hit two freethrows 16 seconds into

overtime and the Mavericksnever let the Thunder whowere one win shy of tying anNBA record with eight OT

wins in the regular season go ahead after that.

Kevin Durant, the leaguesscoring champion the pasttwo seasons, missed a 3-pointattempt on Oklahoma Citysopening possession of over-time, then didnt get anothershot until he missed from longrange off the front of the rimin the final 10 seconds withthe Thunder down by five.

Durant finished with 29points and 15 rebounds andSerge Ibaka had 18 points and10 boards for Oklahoma City.Russell Westbrook added 19points, eight rebounds andeight assists.

Only two teams in NBA

history have come back from

3-1 deficits without the ben-efit of home-court advan-tage in Game 7 Houstonin the 1995 West semifinalsand Boston in the 1968 East

finals.Theres no doubt it was a

tough loss, Oklahoma Citycoach Scott Brooks said. Ifthis loss did not hurt, theresno such thing as a loss that canhurt you.

Durant said all the Thundercan do now is try to be posi-tive.

Durant had nine of theThunders 26 turnovers,including the one that led tothe big shot by Kidd. Kiddstripped him as he went upfor a shot with just over aminute left in overtime, thentook a pass from Nowitzki,pump-faked to get Westbrookin the air and stepped up to

drill a 3-pointer that put Dallasup 108-105 with 40.3 secondsleft.

Jason Terry hit two freethrows for the last of his 20points, and Kidd added twomore to provide the final mar-gin.

Kidd who went to theNBA finals twice with NewJersey but is still seeking hisfirst ring at age 38 scored17 points to go with sevenassists, five rebounds and foursteals.

The Mavericks know bet-ter than to underestimate anyopponent in any circumstanc-es.

The Thunder learned that

the hard way.
