Alzheimers crisis takes devastating toll on caregivers
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
According to the Alzheimers
Association, an estimated 5.2 mil-
lion Americans - two-thirds being
women - have been diagnosed and
are living with the neurocognitive
disorder. Their 15.5 million caregiv-
ers face the devastating physical and
emotional burdens of providing daily
personal care for a loved one living
in a uctuating reality.
In recognition of Alzheimers
Awareness Month and National
Caregiver Month, it is an ideal time
to focus on expert information about
the disease and ensure caregivers
have the resources and tools required
to support their journey.
The Alzheimers Associations
Northwest Ohio Chapter Executive
Director Salli Bollin said caring
for an individual diagnosed with
Alzheimers presents many chal-
lenges and struggles with day-to-
day living.
Sometimes individuals with Al-
zheimers are alert and have an un-
derstanding of what is going on, she
said. Other times, they cant be in-
volved in making decisions.
Bollin said daily care of a person
with the disorder takes a huge toll on
many facets of a caregivers life; it
impacts their health, workplace, own
personal needs, families needs, and
takes away from other responsibili-
ties.
Caregivers have lost productivity
at work and their physical well-being
is compromised with them being
sick much more often, Bollin said.
Alzheimers and dementia care-
givers had $9.3 billion in additional
health care costs of their own in 2013.
Nearly 60 percent of those caregivers
rate the emotional stress of caregiv-
ing as high or very high and more
than one-third report symptoms of
depression.
In 2013, 15.5 million family and
friends provided 17.7 billion hours of
unpaid care to those with Alzheim-
ers and other dementias care val-
ued at $220.2 billion.
Bollin said the lifetime risk for a
woman in her 60s is estimated at 1
in 6 as compared to men, which is
1 in 11.
Age is the biggest factor with
people over the age of 85 having a 50
percent risk factor, Bollin detailed.
Women are diagnosed with the dis-
ease more than men because they
live longer.
American Electric Power

ducted on transformers in Van

ELIDA A note found in the hallway at
Elida Middle School Friday morning put the
building on lockdown for 90 minutes, accord-
ing to Superintendent Tony Cox.
At 10 a.m., a student found a suspicious
note which they turned into a teacher and then
was passed to the principal, Cox explained.
They informed me about the note and as a
precaution, I recommended law enforcement
be contacted and the school put on lockdown.
Cox said he could not reveal the contents
of the note but said that once several students
were questioned and law enforcement went
through the building, classes resumed at 11:40
a.m. Several ofcers stayed in the building the
rest of the day as a precaution.
Weve practiced all of our protocols for
this and everything went smoothly, Cox said.
Regardless of whether the note was real or
not, we were prepared and it showed. Our
staff, students and law enforcement partners
all acted quickly and professionally.
Parents were notied via the districts voice
messaging system.
Our parents were very calm and no one
came to the school, Cox said. The voice mes-
saging system really helps and keeps parents
in the loop.
Cox said other than the disruption of classes
for a short time and an altered lunch schedule,
the school quickly went back to business as
usual and students nished their day.
Ofcers from the Elida Police Department,
Allen County Sheriffs Ofce and American
Township responded to the school.

DEAR ABBY: For the past
year and a half, I have worked
a full-time and a part-time job
while attending school. I recently
graduated from college and now
have a career that has put me
into a better nancial position.
My problem is, Im still working
my part-time job. My boyfriend,
Jared, and I get into arguments
over whether or not I should keep
it. I enjoy the extra cash, but Im
starting to feel like life is passing me by because Im working sev-
en days a week, usually 10 hours a day. I am exhausted, but Jared
doesnt want me to quit.
Jared doesnt seem to understand that I feel left out when I
work this much. I dont have time to see my family or visit friends,
something I feel he takes for granted. Should I keep this job and
keep Jared happy, or stand my ground and live life my way?
EXHAUSTED IN IOWA
DEAR EXHAUSTED: At the rate youre going, Jared will
work you into a state of collapse. I could understand his not want-
ing you to quit your part-time job if the two of you were saving
for something special, but because you didnt mention that, I am
assuming it isnt the case. In order to have a happy, successful life,
people need to achieve a balance between work and time to them-
selves. If Jared wants the extra income, then my view is that Jared
should earn it.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: I am in a quandary over a situation I dont have
any legal rights over. A friend of mine has two grandchildren. The
mother of the children is neglectful. She didnt take them to a pe-
diatrician for two years. My friend baby-sits all the time and the
kids know that she loves them, but she cant take care of them full
time because she has health issues.
I think Child Protective Services needs to know whats going
on with these kids. The little boy is VERY mean to animals and
hes not yet 5. If CPS is called, they will take the kids away and
put them in foster care that may be worse than what they are cur-
rently in, but without the love from their grandma. Is there any
way to help these children without causing more emotional trauma
to them and their grandma? CONCERNED IN TEXAS
DEAR CONCERNED: Im not sure, but of this I AM certain:
That little boy desperately needs to be evaluated by a mental health
professional the sooner the better. Children who hurt animals
have been known to harm other children. If Grandma can see that
her grandson gets the help he needs, she should see that he gets it
ASAP. However, if she cant, and the neglect he is suffering at the
hands of his mother is whats causing him to take out his rage on
animals, then Child Protective Services should be notied.

DEAR READERS: Its time for my timely reminder that
daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, so dont forget to turn
your clocks back one hour before going to bed. (Thats what Ill be
doing.) ABBY

Hallie, dont worry this
happens. Get an old wash-
cloth or towel and some rub-
bing alcohol or acetone-based
nail-polish remover. Be sure
the toaster is unplugged! Pour
a little of the liquid onto the
washcloth. Rub it over the
area. You should start to see
the plastic peel away. You
may need to repeat to get it all
off. When done, wipe the area

SALES
Dear Heloise: I love end-

can nd great deals on sum-
mer products right after school
starts. I got an inatable pool
for the backyard for 70 percent
off! I live in South Texas, so it
is still warm enough to use it
well into fall. You also can get
great deals on barbecues and
school supplies. I often go and
buy crayons, etc., when they
are on sale after school starts.

and I saved money by doing it
myself. Tracy C., via email

Two million Ohioans seek emergency food each year
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS More than one in six
Ohioans, or more than 2 million people,
stand in the states emergency food lines
each year, according to a new study re-
leased today by the Ohio Association
of Foodbanks (the association). Ohio
data from Feeding Americas Hunger in
America 2014 report, available only once
every four years, was the subject of a
press conference held today at the Ohio
Statehouse that included state and local
hunger and poverty advocates.
The Hunger in Ohio 2014 study re-
veals alarming data about the reality that
many Ohioans face, said Lisa Hamler-
Fugitt, executive director of the associa-
tion. Despite slight improvements to the
economy since the Great Recession, hun-
dreds of thousands of Ohioans remain
food insecure. What are even more trou-
bling are the coping strategies and spend-
ing tradeoffs these Ohio households of-
ten make to survive.
Among the key ndings of the study
are:
Each year, approximately 2 million
unduplicated individuals, or 662,000
households, receive food assistance
through Ohios emergency food network.
In the past year, 81 percent pur-
chased inexpensive, unhealthy food as a
coping strategy; and
Sixty-six percent had to choose be-
tween food and medicine or medical care
as a spending tradeoff decision made to
make ends meet.
Demographic makeup of the house-
holds served
Of the 2,007,500 Ohioans served by
the network each year, more than 83 per-
cent report living in food insecure house-
holds, meaning that they were without
reliable access to adequate amounts of
affordable, nutritious food at some point
during the past year. Additionally, 16 per-
cent of study respondents reported they
were responsible for the care of grand-
children in their household.
In addition:
Seventy-one percent of client house-
holds are living with annual incomes at or
below the federal poverty level . Overall,
the study found that the median monthly
household income was only $813 ($9,760
annually). One in ten households report-
ed having no monthly income.
Fifty percent of households had a
member that was employed in the past
year.
For eligible Ohioans receiving Sup-
plemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP, or food stamp) benets, half of
the households reported exhausting their
monthly benets within two weeks or
less, and 85 percent reported exhausting
them within three weeks or less.
Brenda Adkisson, of Columbus,
worked as a nurse before becoming dis-
abled. Although she lives on a tight bud-
get, she brings in slightly too much in-
come to be eligible for SNAP.

St. Henry business co-owner
sentenced for camera in restroom
DHI Media Staff Report
egebert@timesbulletin.com
CELINA The co-owner of a St.
Henry business pleaded no contest in a
Mercer County courtroom this week to
criminal trespass and obstructing ofcial
business for allegedly placing a camera
in the unisex bathroom at the business.
Timothy A. Knapke, 52, was given a 90-
day jail sentence which was suspended.
Judge James Scheer warned Knapke that
he may not have any similar violations
within the next ve years. Scheer also
banned Knapke from entering the busi-
ness, Tru-Edge Grinding in St. Henry, or
initiating contact with any of the employ-
ees.
Police received an anonymous tip that
a camera had been placed in the restroom.
On Aug. 27, authorities investigated
the restroom and found the camera had
been removed from the restroom before
deputies arrived. It had reportedly been
thrown into a dumpster and had been
picked up by a trash company. Deputies
found the truck before it was dumped at
the landll and discovered the camera in-
side. More recording equipment was also
found in the garbage truck.
A search warrant was obtained and
a search of Tru-Edge Grinding revealed
more evidence, implicating Knapke as
the person who placed the camera in the
restroom.
Knapke had originally been charged
with attempted voyeurism and obstruct-
ing ofcial business, but the rst charge
was amended in a plea agreement. He
was also ned $750.

I never thought I would be
in this situation, said Adkis-
son. As a diabetic, I need pro-
teins and vegetables. I crave
dark green vegetables. Rice
and potatoes are not good for
diabetics. Im able to sleep
at night when I know theres
food in my fridge. Adkisson
said that the food pantry she

ple who try to help each other
out.
Coping strategies and
long-term health implica-
tions
The study reveals that
purchasing inexpensive, un-
healthy foods or even water-
ing down food and drinks are
common coping strategies
strategies that directly impact
health and nutrition.
Specically, the study
found that in an effort to make
ends meet, Ohioans have used
the following coping strate-
gies in the past year:
Fifty-ve percent receive
help from friends or family;
Fifty-ve percent eat food
past the expiration date;
Forty-one percent water
down food or drinks;
Thirty-eight percent sell
or pawn personal property;
and
Thirty percent grow food
in a garden.
In addition, due to tight
budgets, Ohio households
are forced to make tough de-
cisions regarding spending
tradeoffs. In the past year,
Ohioans have had to choose
between the following:
Seventy percent had to
choose between food and util-
ities;
Sixty-eight percent had
to choose between food and
transportation;
Sixty-six percent had
medicine or medical care;
Fifty-ve percent had
housing; and
Twenty-nine percent had
education.
The study reveals that the
coping strategies and spend-
ing tradeoffs have a lasting
impact on household health
status. In the past year, 62
percent of Ohio households
had a member with high
blood pressure; 35 percent
of households had a member
with diabetes; and 59 percent
of households had unpaid
medical bills.
The Hunger in Ohio 2014
ndings demonstrate the ur-
gent need for all of us as in-
dividuals, policymakers and
industry leaders to address
hunger in our communities,
said Hamler-Fugitt. This
data provides a factual basis
for decisions about how we as
a state approach hunger relief
and protect our most vulner-
able residents.
As the 50th anniversary
of the federal Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP, also known as food
assistance or food stamps),
the rst line of defense against
hunger, is recognized this
year, the need for a strong
nutrition safety net has never
been greater. From November
2013 to August 2014, Ohio
lost more than $235 million in
direct food assistance (SNAP)
benets.
In light of these losses
in food purchasing dollars
and rising demand for help
from Ohios emergency food
network, the association is
requesting a state appropria-
tion of $20 million per year
over the 2016-17 state bien-
nium.
The long-term impact of
poor health and nutrition are
indeed difcult for the fami-
lies experiencing food inse-
curity, but are paid for by all
Ohioans through increased
health costs and lower pro-
ductivity, said Hamler-Fu-
gitt. Reducing hunger and
increasing access to quality
nutrition and healthy food
is a sound policy for Ohios
children, seniors and our
neighbors in need, and is the
right medicine for Ohios fu-
ture.
Hunger in Ohio 2014 is the
sixth and most comprehensive
study in the Hunger in Amer-
ica series, which provides
comprehensive demographic
proles of people seeking
food assistance through the
Feeding America network.
The study includes interviews
with 6,694 clients and 1,829
partner agencies in Ohio.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, November 1 & Sunday, November 2, 2014 5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
Early in his career, he was known
as the Prince of the Air, perform-
ing as a 9-year-old trapeze artist.
He later switched to magic acts and
billed himself as the King of Cards,
playing to small crowds at dime mu-
seums and sideshows. He became so
desperate at one point he doubled as
The Wild Man in a circus.
But fame took its time nding
Eric Weisz of Budapest and later
Appleton, Wisconsin.
Still searching for his place in the
entertainment world, the young man
began experimenting with escape
acts. By now he had changed his
name to Harry Houdini. He caught
his big break in 1899 when manager
Martin Beck caught his handcuff act
in tiny Woodstock, Illinois. Beck
liked what he saw in the escape and
told Harry to concentrate his act in
that direction. Within months, Beck
had him booked into the largest
vaudeville venues in the country. In
1900, a six-month contract at the Al-
hambra Theatre in London quickly
followed, making the Houdini name
an international draw.
Harry still focused primarily on
handcuff escapes. He bafed the
ofcers at Scotland Yard. Shows in
other European countries usually
had Harry challenging the local po-
lice forces to nd a way to stop him.
In Moscow, he escaped from a prison
transport van. Everywhere he trav-
eled, crowds ocked to his shows.
Realizing he needed to keep his
act fresh, when Houdini moved back
to the U.S. he stopped using hand-
cuffs and began utilizing ropes,
chains, and straitjackets, many times
while in sight of the audience. To
up the danger even further, he sub-
merged himself in milk cans lled
with water and then made his escape.
His most well-known escape was
added in 1912 when he unveiled the
Chinese Water Torture Cell. Houdi-
ni was bound and then hung upside
down in a glass-and-steel cabinet
lled with water. The escape forced
him to hold his breath for more than
three minutes.
But Houdini was much more than
just an illusionist and escape artist.
He was the president of Martinka &
Co., Americas oldest magic com-
pany. He served as the president of
the Society of American Magicians,
tirelessly recruiting young magicians
to join the organization so the per-
formers could act as a unied profes-
sional club. He also purchased his
own plane and learned to be a pilot.
But perhaps Houdinis biggest
contribution away from the stage
was in his debunking of psychics and
mediums. Spiritualism was a grow-
ing movement in the 1920s and many
people were being defrauded for
money. Houdinis training allowed
him to show the tricks that deceived
the paying public. He often dem-
onstrated how spirit photographs
could be faked with double expo-
sures or glass reections. He attend-
ed public seances in disguise and at
the proper time would leap forward
and reveal the faked illusions.
But just because Houdini did not
believe in the charlatans of the day
did not mean he discounted life af-
ter death. In fact, before his death,
he worked out a special code with
his wife, Bess. Every year on the
anniversary of his death, Hallow-
een, Bess held a seance with noted
mediums, waiting for the code to
come through - the words Rosa-
belle believe, part of a line from
a play in which Bess had been per-
forming when she met and married
Harry years earlier. For ten years,
the code was never spoken at the
seance. After the tenth attempt,
Bess extinguished the candle she
had kept lit since the day he had
died, reportedly saying ten years
was long enough to wait for any
man.
The annual seance on Houdinis
anniversary of his death continues
today, carried on by various Houdini
fan clubs and magic groups, includ-
ing the Chicago Assembly of the So-
ciety of American Magicians.
Here now is a reprint of the Van
Wert Daily Bulletin article from
November 1, 1926, detailing the
death of Harry Houdini the day be-
fore.
Empty seances show Houdini escaped every trap but death
DETROIT, Nov. 1 - (INS) - The
body of Harry Houdini, famous
magician, who died yesterday af-
ternoon, will be buried beside his
mother in a New York city cem-
etery.
Operated on last Monday for ap-
pendicitis, three days after his ap-
pendix had burst, Houdini became
the victim of peritonitis.
Direct cause of Houdinis death
is attributed to a blow given him
by a student at McGill University,
Montreal, Quebec, several days
ago. The magician had lectured
before the student body and in the
open forum which followed was
questioned as to the possibility of
needles being passed through the
face as practiced by East Indians.
To the great surprise of the
questioner, Houdini ran a hatpin
through his cheek, and then invited
any student to come to his dressing
room if special information was de-
sired.
Many of the students took advan-
tage of the invitation and attended
one of Houdinis performances. In
commenting on his great strength,
one asked the magician:
You could hardly feel a blow
on the stomach, then, would you,
Houdini?
Certainly not, said Houdini.
Before he had a chance to set
himself, one of the boys gave him
two short arm blows to the pit of his
stomach. Houdini thought nothing
of the matter, beyond stating they
had made him wince at the time in
view of the fact that he was unpre-
pared, and went on with his show.
At the following nights perfor-
mance he was observed to double
up through pain. This was his nal
appearance in Montreal.
Houdini complained of severe
pains in his stomach on the train
from Montreal and was given a se-
idlitz powder.

The worlds most
valuable stamp
On Sunday, November 9, we
will have a program at the mu-
seum presented by the British
author Chris West. West was
a ctional writer and has writ-
ten several books about busi-
ness and entrepreneurship.
His talk on this day will co-
incide with a tour of America
talking about his newest work,
The History of America by
36 Postage Stamps. This is
not a program about stamp
collecting, it is about looking
at American history from the
people and situations that are
highlighted by our postage.
These miniature pieces of art
tell a fascinating story one
that may change some of your
perspectives of what history is
telling us. Doors open at 3:30
p.m.; program is at 4 p.m.,
with light refreshments being
served.
Unless you are an avid
reader of the history of stamps,
you may have missed a rather
signicant milestone that took
place this past June. A single
stamp sold at an auction at
the famous Sothebys in New
York City. The stamp was the
1856 British Guiana 1-cent
stamp magenta. This incred-
ible object is the only one of
its kind. At just 1/300th of an
ounce and only 1 inch x 1.25
inch, it is the most valuable
object on earth for its size and
weight. Interestingly enough
there are all kinds of rumors
about who actually spent
$9.4 million dollars on this
treasure. Names such as Bill
Gates, Ted Turner and War-
ren Buffet have been pushed
around since it is people like
these who are not only able to
afford it, but pride themselves
on possessing rare antiqui-
ties. The name of the person I
would like to think purchased
it was William H. Gross. I
have written about Mr. Gross
in previous articles. He is a
billionaire collector who re-
cently provided some of the
rarest stamps in the world to
be placed on display at the
Smithsonians National Postal
Museum.
Gross has owned several of
the rarest stamps. My person-
al favorite is the plate block
of airmail stamps known
as the inverted Jenny. His
stamp collection is rumored
to be valued at over $100 mil-
lion. These are the fairy tale
dreams that drove so many of
us as kids to start collecting
stamps.
The real story of its discov-
ery falls right in line with this
fairy tale. A 12-year-old boy
living in British Guyana in
1873 found the stamp amongst
some of his uncles letters. He
looked in his stamp catalogue
of the time and when he could
not nd the stamp listed, sold
it to a local stamp collector for
six shillings. In terms you and
I are familiar with, that would
be about 10 cents ten times
its original face value. Consid-
ering its current selling price,
well.
To me, part of the beauty
of stamp collecting is follow-
ing the history of where the
stamp travelled and where
did the owners of the stamps
live. This particular stamp
has been all over the globe.
At one time, it was owned
by a famous German collec-
tor but was seized by France
to help pay for World War I
reparations. It made its way
to America and in 1940, was
sold by the philatelic depart-
ment of Macys Department
store. At that time, the price
was $40,000. In 1980, the
stamp became part of the col-
lection of John E. du Pont for
the sum of $980,000. Thirty-
four years later, this gem was
sold by the auction house of
so many exquisite and price-
less treasures of art for almost
ve times the former record
of a stamp. Four times in its
history, the sale of this stamp
broke a world record.

25 Years Ago
This week in 1989, President Bush and mem-
bers of the U.S. Congress blasted Nicaraguan
President Daniel Ortega following the leaders
canceling of the cease-re in the Central Amer-
ican country. Ortega also hinted he was consid-
ering calling off the national election scheduled
for February 25. Despite the escalation in ght-
ing and harsh words from both sides of the po-
litical aisles in the U.S., administration ofcials
said there had been no call to return to giving
military assistance to the Contras.
Landeck School held its Halloween party,
featuring a parade, costume judging and a
scavenger hunt for older students. Winners
in the costume judging for rst- and second-
graders were Mike Hemker, Randy Grothaus,
Christine Moreo, Ryan Rahrig, Austin Klaus
and Kasie Wreede. Third- and fourth-grade
winners were Melinda Bonifas, Kody Kill,
Meghan Fuerst, Amanda Stant, Jamie Schwin-
nen and Angela Miller.
In an act of protest, the Implementation Task
Force of the Tri-County Mental Health Board re-
signed following the boards annual awards din-
ner. A spokesperson stated that because the full
board had placed the systems planning director
under the authority of the executive director, in-
stead of the Implementation Task Force, they felt
the group had lost all of its effectiveness and has
become useless. Because of what was referred
to as almost constant confrontation between
the board members and the task force, the mem-
bers said they believed they could better serve
the community by forming an outside consumer
advocacy group and work outside the system to
improve the mental health system in Mercer, Van
Wert, and Paulding counties.
50 Years Ago
This week in 1964, Halloween took a back
seat to a more important event - at least in one
city. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, city council
moved the local Halloween celebration from
Saturday, October 31 to Friday, October 30. The
reason given by the council was so that nothing
would interfere with the football game between
LSU and University of Mississippi on Saturday.
Three of the 13 dairy herds on EDPM test
in September averaged above 40 pounds but-
terfat. The high herd was Charles Recker of
Leipsic with 26 cows averaging 1,440 pounds
butterfat. The other herds were William Loos-
er of Delphos, with 27 cows averaging 1,230
pounds milk and 41 pounds fat; and Jack
Schroeder and Dave Conn of Leipsic, with
23 cows averaging 1,170 pounds milk and 40
pounds fat.
A model was released of the proposed new
city building. Construction would be paid for
with a $250,000 bond issue if passed. The
building would have stood on the southern half
of Third Ward Park (Fountain Park) and would
cut the green space roughly in half.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, the U.S. Navy released
photos of its newest experimental scouting
plane. Developed by the Curtiss-Wright Cor-
poration, the Seamew was intended to replace
the older bi-plane model Seagull for use off
of naval ships and from land bases. The plane
also used a revolutionary air-cooled V-shaped
in-line engine.
An old-fashioned Halloween party was en-
joyed Tuesday night by members of the Del-
phos Kiwanis Club and their ladies. The party
was held at the Idlewild clubhouse, northeast
of Delphos. A number of games and contests
were enjoyed followed by dancing. Those win-
ning awards were Elizabeth Werner and Je-
rome Schmit. In a contest, the team captained
by Harold Fosnaught won the honors.

MOJAVE, Calif. (AP) A winged spaceship designed
to take tourists on excursions beyond Earths atmosphere ex-
ploded during a test ight Friday over the Mojave Desert,
killing a pilot in the second ery setback for commercial
space travel in less than a week.
Virgin Galactics SpaceShipTwo blew apart after being
released from a carrier aircraft at high altitude, according
to Ken Brown, a photographer who witnessed the explosion.
One pilot was found dead inside the spacecraft and anoth-
er parachuted out and was own by helicopter to a hospital,
Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said.
The crash area was about 120 miles north of downtown
Los Angeles and 20 miles from the Mojave Air and Space
Port, where the ight originated.
British billionaire Richard Branson, founder of Virgin
Galactic, has been the front-runner in the edgling race to
give large numbers of paying civilians a suborbital ride that
would let them experience weightlessness and see the Earth
from the edge of space. Branson was expected to arrive in
Mojave on Saturday, as were investigators with the National
Transportation Safety Board.
Space is hard, and today was a tough day, Virgin Galac-
tic CEO President George Whitesides said. The future rests
in many ways on hard, hard days like this.
The accident occurred just as it seemed commercial space
ights were near, after a period of development that lasted
far longer than hundreds of prospective passengers had ex-
pected.
When Virgin Group licensed the technology from Micro-
soft (NASDAQ:MSFT) co-founder Paul Allen, who put $26
million into SpaceShipOne, Branson envisioned operating
ights by 2007. In interviews last month, he talked about the
rst ight being next spring with his son.
Its a real setback to the idea that lots of people are going
to be taking joyrides into the fringes of outer space any time
soon, said John Logsdon, retired space policy director at
George Washington University. There were a lot of people
who believed that the technology to carry people is safely at
hand.
Fridays ight marked the 55th for SpaceShipTwo, which
was intended to be the rst of a eet of craft. This was only
the fourth ight to include a brief rocket ring. During other
ights, the craft either was not released from its mothership
or functioned as a glider after release.
At 60 feet long, SpaceShipTwo featured two large win-
dows for each of up to six passengers, one on the side and
one overhead.
The accidents cause was not immediately known, nor
was the altitude at which the explosion occurred. The rst
rocket-powered test ight peaked at about 10 miles above
Earth. Commercial ights would go 62 miles or higher.
One difference on this ight was the type of fuel.
In May, Virgin Galactic announced that SpaceShipTwo
would switch to a polymide-based fuel a type of thermo-
plastic. It had been fueled with a type of rubber called HTPB.

WASHINGTON (AP) Early votes
soared past 15 million across 31 states on
Friday, an outpouring that is giving hope-
ful Republicans as well as nervous Demo-
crats cause for optimism heading into the
nal weekend of a campaign with control
of the Senate, the U.S. House and 36 gov-
ernorships at stake.
Republicans pointed to a strong early-
vote performance in Iowa as evidence that
Joni Ernst was a step ahead in her bid to
capture a Senate seat for the GOP. I feel
real good about it, said Gov. Terry Brans-
tad, campaigning with the partys Senate
hopeful as he sought a new term for him-
self, as well.
But in Georgia, Democrats said a
strong early turnout by African-Ameri-
cans in the counties around Atlanta was a
good sign for Michelle Nunn, running for
a seat long out of the partys reach.
As candidates headed into a nal
weekend of campaigning, Democratic
hopes of holding a Senate seat in Arkan-
sas appeared to be fading, and Republi-
cans already appeared assured of gains
in West Virginia, South Dakota and
Montana. They need to gain six to come
away with the elections biggest prize
control of the Senate during President
Barack Obamas nal two years in of-
ce.
Strategists in both parties agreed pri-
vately that races in Louisiana and Geor-
gia were probably headed for runoffs,
and several Republicans expressed con-
cern about Kansas, where polls showed
Sen. Pat Roberts was in a tough race to
keep a seat held by Republicans for de-
cades.
Democratic incumbents in Alaska,
Colorado and New Hampshire also
faced difcult tests, as did Senate Re-
publican Leader Mitch McConnell in
Kentucky.
Republicans are all but certain to
hold their majority in the House, and
Democrats are working to minimize
their losses in the campaigns nal days
by rushing help to candidates once
viewed as safe.
The early vote turnout varied from
state to state, exceeding 2010 levels in
Louisiana, Wisconsin, Maryland, Florida,
Iowa and Georgia. Most of those states are
holding intensely competitive races for the
Senate or governor or both.
In Louisiana, where Democratic Sen.
Mary Landrieu is in a difcult three-way
ght for re-election, the early vote was 80
percent higher than in the 2010 midterm
elections.
In Iowa, gures provided by state elec-
tion ofcials showed Democrats had cast
about 41 percent of the early vote, Repub-
licans about 39 percent and independents
nearly 20 percent. Four years ago, Demo-
crats held a double-digit advantage.
Early votes exceed 15 million but who benets?
FORT KENT, Maine (AP)
A Maine judge gave nurse
Kaci Hickox the OK to go
wherever she pleases, handing
state ofcials a defeat Friday in
the nations biggest court case
yet over how to balance per-
sonal liberty, public safety and
fear of Ebola.
Judge Charles C. LaVerdiere
ruled that Hickox must con-
tinue daily monitoring of her
health but said there is no need
to isolate her or restrict her
movements because she has no
symptoms and is therefore not
contagious.
The judge also decried the
misconceptions, misinforma-
tion, bad science and bad infor-
mation circulating about the
lethal disease in the U.S.
After the ruling, a state po-
lice cruiser that had been posted
outside Hickoxs home left, and
she and her boyfriend stepped
outside to thank the judge.
Hickox, 33, called it a good
day and said her thoughts,
prayers and gratitude remain
with those who are still battling
Ebola in West Africa.
She said she had no imme-
diate plans other than to watch
a scary movie at home on Hal-
loween in this town of 4,300
people on the remote northern
edge of Maine, near the Cana-
dian border.
Maine health ofcials had
gone to court on Thursday in an
attempt to bar her from crowd-
ed public places and require her
to stay at least 3 feet from others
until the 21-day incubation pe-
riod for Ebola was up on Nov.
10. She would have been free to
jog or go bike riding.
But the judge turned the
state down.
Gov. Paul LePage said he
disagreed with the ruling but
will abide by it. Ofcials said
there are no plans to appeal.
As governor, I have done
everything I can to protect the
health and safety of Mainers.
The judge has eased restrictions
with this ruling, and I believe it
is unfortunate, LePage said.
Later in the day, the gover-
nor lashed out at Hickox, say-
ing: She has violated every
promise she has made so far, so
I cant trust her. I dont trust her.
And I dont trust that we know
enough about this disease to be
so callous.
Hickox was thrust into the
center of a national debate af-
ter she returned to the U.S.
last week from treating Ebola
victims in West Africa as a
volunteer for Doctors Without
Borders.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP)
A series of grafti-like paint-
ings on rocks in national parks
across the West set off a furor
on social media this month,
angering people who say they
desecrated some of the nations
most famously picturesque
landscapes. Theyve also cre-
ated a headache for park man-
agers who have the delicate task
of cleaning up the sites without
causing further damage.
It wont be easy to get rid of
the paintings, photos of which
were posted on Instagram and
Tumblr and then picked up by
hiking blogs. Sandblasting and
some chemical strippers can
cause even more damage to ir-
replaceable natural features,
especially if grafti is near an-
cient rock art.
In some cases, workers
use plastic kitchen spatulas to
painstakingly scrape off paint.
Workers test different chemi-
cals to gure out which will
loosen the material without
damaging rock, then rinse it
off with lots of low-pressure
hot water, gently scraping each
layer away with the spatula, said
National Park Service spokes-
man Jason Olson.
They will repeat that as
often as it takes until they re-
move all the paint or until they
cant remove any more, he
said. He said Friday he didnt
know how much it might cost
to remove the paint in eight
parks across California, Colo-
rado, Utah and Oregon. One
colorful painting of a woman
with blue hair at Crater Lake
National Park is already cov-
ered in ice and snow and
workers might not be able to
reach it until next summer.

Out of the mouths of babes.
During a recent visit to my
one and only offspring in To-
ledo, my entire thinking pro-
cess was changed a little.
Old habits die hard.
I have always been of the
mindset on certain things and
I have stood by that mindset
through thick and thin. Until
Tuesday.
My child has found a call-
ing working with children and
in a local churchs food pantry.
One day last week, they served
more than 650 neighborhood
family members, supplying
canned goods and other non-
perishable items. They did it
without spending a dime; all
the food was donated.
According to the story on
page 3, more than two million
people a year stand in emer-
gency food lines in Ohio every
year. Thats a little more than
one in six Ohioans.
Among the key ndings of
the study were:
Each year, approximately
two million unduplicated in-
dividuals, or 662,000 house-
holds, receive food assistance
through Ohios emergency
food network.
In the past year, 81 per-
cent purchased inexpensive,
unhealthy food as a coping
strategy; and
Sixty-six percent had
medicine or medical care as
a spending tradeoff decision
made to make ends meet.
For my child, these nd-
ings are unacceptable. They
should be unacceptable for the
rest of us as well. Food is a ba-
sic staple to sustain life.
How many times have you
thrown out uneaten food?
How many times have you left
food on your plate at a restau-
rant because you ate too many
appetizers? How many times
do you keep rearranging the
canned goods in the pantry
to nd something when a can
or two could be donated and
you wouldnt even miss it? For
those of us who have a healthy
food budget going hungry isnt
a consideration.
For those in Camerons
hood, food is often a luxu-
ry. Some families dont know
where their next meal is com-
ing from and more times than
not, children are involved.
How would you feel if you
had to look in your childs
eyes and tell them that yes,
you know they are hungry, but
you cant do anything about it.
That would tear my heart out.
In the past, I have often
thought that those people
need to do something to
change the state of their lives:
they need to get a job, they
need to do this, they need
to do that. Cameron set me
straight. The majority of those
taking advantage of food dis-
tributions and pantries are
people who need our help
and compassion. They need
someone to just say they care
about what happens to them.
They need someone to love
them just because they are hu-
man beings. They are often
doing the best they can with
what they have and are still
falling short. We are the ones
who need to do something
to change our state of mind.
Those people could become
us with very little change in
our circumstances.
In a world where its ev-
ery man, woman and child
for themselves, I dont see
much to look at and smile or
be happy. We need to all pull
together. Maybe I dont need
that new pair of pants or purse
or sweater as much as I need
to share a little of what I have
to make someone elses life
better. It wont hurt me to pass
up on that impulse purchase or
add another hanger to my al-
ready full closet. I have plen-
ty of stuff. If I look a little
harder, I have too much stuff.
I will leave you with some-
thing Cameron said to me on
Tuesday: The biggest lie you
have ever been told is there is
not enough!
If you believe the lie, noth-
ing changes. If you challenge
it, imagine the possibilities.
I have kept a New Years
resolution, of sorts. It wasnt
really a New Years any-
thing, but at the beginning of
the year I acted upon some-
thing I have wanted to do for
a few years now. Realizing
that there are a lot of classic
pieces of literature I never got
around to reading, I decided
I would spend 2014 pursuing
some of the most inuential
books in American history.
But I did run into a problem:
I dont get a lot of sit-around-
with-a-good-book time to ac-
complish this. What I do have
is plenty of time driving. My
wife had started listening to
audiobooks on her long daily
drive, so I thought Id try the
same method.
So with the help of my lo-
cal public library, I have read
or listened to 35 books so
far this year, the majority of
which are the professionally
recorded audiobooks on com-
pact disc from inside the con-
nes of my drivers seat. And
its been both great and a bit
educational. I plan to hit 40
or more books this year and
carry over the project for all
of 2015, provided I dont lose
my library card. I still have a
couple of titles to read the old-
fashioned way, but audiobooks
will provide the storytelling
for the bulk of the literature.
Now, let me tell you, read-
ing a book and listening to a
book can be distinctly dif-
ferent experiences. Usually a
professional reads the stories,
and most of the time they
adopt certain accents for cer-
tain characters. For instance,
maybe the mother in the story
is from China and the daugh-
ter was raised in the U.S. and
the storyteller will use one
voice for daughter and anoth-
er for Mom. And the accents
will be pretty much dead on.
Often Ill be able to tell which
character is speaking by the
accent used by the reader.
It can work a lot like a radio
drama at times. But there are
some readers who are not that
good. The worst reader in my
experience really surprised
me. The television personality
and author Bill OReilly has
been reading on the air and
giving voice to many stories. I
gured ol Bill should have no
problem reading, especially
something he wrote himself
(supposedly). But OReilly
stumbled over his words, mis-
pronounced words, and even
skipped a few words. Part of
the time, it sounded like he
had never read the book. That
said, I enjoyed the book, but I
think I would have rather read
it myself.
Listening to a book is a
much different experience.
I tend to notice things I may
have missed if I am listen-
ing rather than reading. For
instance, I listened to a book
where one of the auxiliary
characters was named Jack.
Partway through the story,
Jack seemed to develop curi-
osity or he just stopped under-
standing the ner points of the
plot.
So during the dialogue, the
author made it clear that Jack
had a lot of questions he was
asking. It went something like
this: How are we going to
know when we should leave?
Jack asked. A couple of lines
later it was, But what if the
other guy shows up? Jack
asked, then again it was, Did
Susan tell us when she was
coming back? Jack asked.
If I was reading, I probably
wouldnt have noticed the re-
peated use of Jack asked.
But hearing those words out-
loud, I kept hearing Jack
asked over and over, and
each time I thought I heard the
reader call Jack a nasty name.
Thats the power of the spoken
word.

I would like
to say a big
thank you from
the bottom of
my heart to
three special
young ladies and the cashier
at Dollar General.
I was in Dollar General
shopping when I became ill
and almost fainted. These
young ladies came to my side
and helped me.
When I felt good enough to
leave, one of them brought me
home and another one drove
my car home and put it in the
garage.
What special young ladies
they are and I dont even know
their names; but they are my
angels and I thank them from
the bottom of my heart.
God bless all of you.

The space program in the U.S. took a jab to the nose and
an uppercut to the chin this week in a one-two combination of
disasters.
On Tuesday, the Orbital Sciences Corporations Antares
rocket failed to clear the launch pad with enough thrust and,
according to reports on Friday, was destroyed from control be-
fore it had time to tip and cause major issues on the ground.
On Friday, Virgin Galactics SpaceShip Two space tourism
rocket crashed during a test ight. At least one of the pilots was
killed during the impact in the Mojave Desert.
But wait, the casual observer might ask, what does this have
to do with the ofcial U.S. program? These were private com-
panies who suffered the disasters, not NASA.
The answer is simple: the private companies are all we cur-
rently have.
During the Bush administration, NASA recommended, and
the president agreed to, ending the space shuttle program. The
shuttle eet was aging, no new craft were being constructed
to replace the older machines, and the technology used in the
worlds rst reusable space craft was beginning to show its age.
But a funny thing happened on the road to retirement for the
shuttle program: the Obama administration killed the replace-
ment program.
The Constellation Program was begun by NASA in 2005
with the stated goals of completing the International Space Sta-
tion, returning to the moon by 2020, and eventually making
the leap to putting men on Mars. As the space shuttle program
wound down, Constellation was gearing up to take its place.
Then it went away. In February of 2010, President Obama
announced the cancellation of the program and proposed a
redesign of NASAs short and long-term goals. But when the
shuttle program nally closed its doors in July of 2011, this
new, undescribed program was not ready to take over. In fact,
it still is not today, more than three years later.
So what the U.S. has been left with is a reliance on the Rus-
sians. Yes, the same country who we have been arguing with
for months over their actions in the Ukraine. To fulll our por-
tion of the responsibility for the International Space Station
and other space missions, we have needed to pay billions of
dollars to the Russians to bum a ride.
And that is how we ended up this week staring in horror
at the two disasters. The Antares, although owned by a pri-
vate company, was using an old Russian engine to launch. The
initial investigation says it was that engine that caused the ac-
cident. Also, the Orbital Sciences Corporation rocket was car-
rying U.S. food and supplies to the space station.
The situation has become so desperate, Air Force ofcials
have stated they are looking at beginning their own rocket pro-
gram to ensure they can launch defense satellites without being
reliant on a foreign country or private company for delivery.
At the time President Obama announced his goal of per-
forming a landing on a near-Earth asteroid by 2025 and men
on Mars by 2035, industry analysts criticized his plan - or lack
of plan - loudly. Neil Armstrong called the plan devastating
to NASA and Jim Lovell said the change wasted the $10 bil-
lion invested into Constellation. Robert Zubrin pointed out the
near-Earth asteroid landing could have been attempted in 2016
if the Constellation program had not been cancelled and the
administration will spend $100 billion on human spaceight
over the next 10 years in order to accomplish nothing.
But for now, the U.S. space program must labor on without
the hardware or funding it needs to be active. The Presidents
original time frame called for the new heavy launch vehicle to
be completed in 2015 with construction to begin shortly after.
This means if the timetable holds, the U.S. will have control
over its space program again sometime in about four years.
Until then, we had better not do anything to make Russia
mad at us.
Was there a plan?
To the editor,
We are looking for volunteers at the
Van Wert Shelter to help with general
facility cleaning, feeding, watering, ex-
ercising dogs, and socializing cats. We
will also need help bathing dogs, cats,
and kittens. If you are interested in help-
ing, applications must be lled out at the
shelter at 309 Bonnewitz Ave. Hours are
8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
We have had some trapping of cats in
some areas. Most have come to shelter.
If you are missing an outdoor cat, please
stop by the shelter.
They will be kept for ve days. It is
advised that with winter coming, it would
be good to keep cats indoors and if pos-
sible your outdoor friendlies.
Thank you,

Theres enough
opin2
The rst thing a stranger might see exiting
US 30 east of Van Wert and turning toward
the city is what appears to be our countys
college campus. To an outsid-
er, the Starr Commonwealth
presents as the Ivy League in
miniature. And thats just the
part you can see from Lincoln
Highway, excluding the ve
cottages hidden back in the
woods. But not only is it not
a college campus, it is also en-
tirely empty.
The Starr quit servicing
troubled youth four or ve
years ago, a victim of the economic col-
lapse. When I campaigned for commission-
er, I spoke of bringing a college presence to
the county. People naturally thought of the
Starr and began talking about the Starr.
They talked so much that, even though I
hadnt mentioned the possibility, a member
of the Starr board called me to request that I
quit proposing the campus because it wasnt
for sale. The Starr wasnt on my radar then
because it was just too big for a starter cam-
pus. Theres a certain economy to things. I
had something smaller in mind - a couple
rooms and a few classes at Vantage or one
of the high schools and building from there.
Wright State in Celina started in one room
and as a branch of Ohio Northern.
With some outside-the-box thinking by
one of my comrades, however, it may be
time to dream big.
Bred in conversations we were having
with Ohio State Extension and, to put it
bluntly, from some ongoing problems weve
had with that institution, Commissioner Li-
chtensteiger had an idea. Why not an agri-
cultural research center at the Starr Campus?
Ohio State Extension has ve or six of these
throughout the state but none near here.
At its other agricultural research cen-
ters, Extension experiments with hybrids,
pesticides, soils, rotation all things farm.
Such a center can provide certications for
fertilizer and pesticide applicators. It can be
a regional center for things like 4-H and pro-
vide endless opportunities in an agricultural
community such as ours.
Not to say the stars (no pun intended)
seem to be aligning for this, but there are
several factors that elevate Thads idea from
one great in theory to one great in practice
and they are all occurring here at once. I will
briey list these factors then spend the rest
of this article and next weeks trying to ex-
plain what it all means.
First and foremost, the Starr is suddenly
for sale or lease. Its board sold its surround-
ing 130 acres of farmland at auction to the
Marsh Foundation earlier this year and is
ready to do something with the campus. Al-
though the price is being held close to the
vest, it has been appraised and its board is
okay with me telling you that it is available,
so I shouldnt get any calls about that.
Second, the levy for OSU Extension,
which has supplied it around $200,000 of
county tax dollars annually
for the last several years, is up
for ballot renewal next year.
Third, we are one of the states
leading agricultural counties
inside a region with a unique
problem ripe for intensive re-
search algae. Fourth, there is
a new Dean of Agriculture at
Ohio State who is seemingly
inclined toward endeavors
such as this.
Fifth, the county has experience in this
type of agricultural research through its
Farm Focus years. Sixth, there is plenty
of farmland nearby the Starr that could be
made available to OSU Extension for experi-
mentation. Seventh, the OSU-Lima campus
has had a steady decline in enrollment for
years (more on this next week). Eighth, and
most importantly for the college component
in all of this, Northwest State was designated
earlier this year as the countys community
college provider.
With these factors to discuss, Stan, Thad
and I went to Farm Science Review last
month to meet with OSUs new Dean of
Agriculture, Bruce McPheron. Tom Stuck-
ey, the President of Northwest State, given
a prior heads up on what we were going to
propose, drove from Chicago to make that
meeting.
OSU saw merit in our presentation and
has continued to express interest ever since.
Representatives have been to visit the Starr
and others are coming in a few weeks. Noth-
ing has been discussed as far as price and
long-term nancing, only the possibilities.
Everyone involved so far sees incredible
sense in all this.
The boost to the countys number one
industry is blatant. We would go from one
of the leading agricultural counties in the
state to, with Mercer and Putnam as regional
partners, the center. The college implica-
tions are less obvious but as signicant.
With the presence of Ohio State, Northwest
State can become something more than a
normal county community college. This is
by no means a certain thing. There are a lot
of moving pieces, as there are with anything
of this magnitude. We are coming out with
this now in hopes of generating community
support and enthusiasm and maybe nding
some other missing pieces that could help
make this happen.
Ive tried to sketch what is being consid-
ered here and will elaborate more next week.
For those who would like to hear a general
discussion about this, tune into 1220 AM
Sunday morning at 8:20. If you miss that
original broadcast, you can hear it after Sun-
day afternoon at go1220.com - click on the
Commissioners Corner tab.
I had a friend once who
worked very hard to assemble
a list of ten New Years reso-
lutions. He was very serious
about this commitment and
kept his promises until Lent.
The Easter season was also
important to him. So, for Lent,
he gave up his 10 resolutions.
A former colleague,
Marty Pieratt, a news editor
for Register Publications in
Lawrenceburg, Indiana, told
his readers in a January 1997
column that like just about
everyone else, I would like
to be a better person. I know
how to do it, its just a matter
of doing it.
Following is the recipe
Pieratt shared. He invited
everyone to follow the plan.
Being a better human being
can best be accomplished by
focusing on ve things:
1. Enthusiasm. It doesnt
just happen. You have to re
yourself up. Be excited about
the time you have been given.
2. Attitude. Make it pleas-
ant. Dont be an emotional
roller-coaster. Be steady and
treat people the way you
want to be treated.
3. Quality. What you do,
do well. Arent you sick
of inferior workmanship?
Arent you disgusted with
people who tell you one
thing and do another? Do it
right or dont do it.
4. Faithfulness. So many
people give up too easily.
When the going gets a little
tough, they give up on their
relationships, their faith,
their business, their friends,
their projects, their dreams.
Commitment is rare to nd
these days, but excuses are
available everywhere.
5. Integrity. Once you
have it, its tough to keep it.
Once you lose it, its hard
to get back. Let your yes be
yes, and your no be no. Gold
and silver cannot buy it, but I
think almost everybody deep
down would like to have it.
The best way to have integ-
rity, Pieratt thinks, is to look
at our elders and see how they
obtained it. Study the older
men and women around you
and see what they have done
or endured to become solid
rocks and men and women
of character.
Hopefully, it will make
them stay on their toes to
know those of us following
them are watching and des-
perately need role models of
how to be better people and
to nish the race with integ-
rity.
If you have a dream, I
hope you focus on it in the
coming year. Dont hold
back. Dont fear falling or
failure. Move on in spite of
it, Pieratt said.
It also reminds me of what
T.B. Macaulay once said:
The measure of a mans real
character is what he would
do if he knew he would never
be found out.
********
I found another gem of a
story in my les dating back
to 2004. Its called The May-
onnaise Jar and 2 Cups of
Tea. It was written by Mar-
cey Gaitan. At the time, she
was an elementary school
teacher in Killeen, Texas. Its
another of those great les-
sons of life. Hope you agree.
When things in your life
seem almost too much to
handle, when 24 hours in a
day are not enough, remem-
ber the mayonnaise jar and
the two cups of tea.
Gaitan says a professor
stood before his philosophy
class and had some items in
front of him. When the class
began, he wordlessly picked
up a very large and empty
mayonnaise jar and proceed-
ed to ll it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if
the jar was full. They agreed
that it was.
The professor then picked
up a box of pebbles and
poured them into the jar. He
shook the jar lightly. The
pebbles rolled into the open
areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students
again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked
up a box of sand and poured
it into the jar. Of course, the
sand lled up everything
else. He asked once more if
the jar was full. The students
responded with a unanimous
yes.
The professor then pro-
duced two cups of tea from
under the table and poured
the entire contents into the
jar effectively lling the
empty space between the
sand. The students laughed.
Now, said the professor
as the laughter subsided, I
want you to recognize that
this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the im-
portant things God, your
family, your children, your
health, your friends and your
favorite passions and if
everything else was lost and
only they remained, your life
would still be full.
The pebbles are the other
things that matter like your
job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything
else the small stuff. If
you put the sand into the jar
rst, he continued, there is
no room for the pebbles or
the golf balls. The same goes
for life. If you spend all your
time and energy on the small
stuff you will never have
room for the things that are
important to you.
Pay attention to the
things that are critical to
your happiness. Play with
your children. Take time to
get medical checkups. Take
your spouse out to dinner.
Play another 18. There will
always be time to clean the
house and x the disposal.
Set your priorities.
One of the students raised
her hand and inquired what
the tea represented. The pro-
fessor smiled. Im glad you
asked. It just goes to show
you that no matter how full
your life may seem, theres
always room for a couple of
cups of tea with a friend.

To the editor,
On behalf of Van Wert
County 9-1-1 Operations, I
would like to thank many par-
ties who recently helped pres-
ent a very important training
for emergency dispatchers
throughout the state.
The training, School
Shootings: Lessons from San-
dy Hook CT, was held at Van-
tage Career Center on Oct.
8. Nearly 100 dispatchers,
emergency responders, edu-
cators and law enforcement
professionals from Ohio and
northern Indiana attended the
day-long training. The speak-
ers Maureen Will, Newton,
Connecticut 9-1-1 Director;
Van Wert County Sheriff Tom
Riggenbach; Ofcer Greg
Blackmore of Van Wert Po-
lice Department; and Deputy
Chad Lauck of Allen County,
Ohio Sheriffs Department
each volunteered their time to
deliver vital information.
In addition to the delicious
food provided by InDigital and
Wild Willys Pizza, the attend-
ees enjoyed a variety of items
donated by area businesses
and organizations. Some of
these items, such as a Stepha-
nie Dawn wallet made in Van
Wert by KAM Manufacturing,
helped showcase the local busi-
nesses and organizations that
help make this such a welcom-
ing place: Citizens National
Bank, the Van Wert Chamber
of Commerce, the United Way,
and the Van Wert Visitor and
Convention Bureau. The staff
and students of the Vantage
Career Center, especially Gail
Gillet, Robin Burns, Ted Ver-
hoff and Ben Winans, were
instrumental in helping the day
go smoothly by setting up di-
rectional signs for parking and
location, food set-up and clean-
up, and AV presentation. Leesa
Brown, Rick Spoor and Cheryl
Bowen also contributed to mak-
ing the day go well. Ad sales for
the annual Van Wert City and
County law enforcement calen-
dars funded this training, so the
men and women who perform
the vital and often stressful
work of dispatching could at-
tend for free. I hope this letter
conveys their gratitude, as well
as mine, for the support of our
deeply good community.
Sincerely,
Kim Brandt

etables; baked goods and jams
are also available.
The vendors at the market
would like to thank those of
the community that supported
the market.
They would also like to
thank the Van Wert County
Agricultural Society for their
support of the market by al-
lowing us to use their property
at 500 Fox Road.

To the editor:
As the election fast ap-
proaches, I wanted to share
some of the reasons why Jon
Husted is the best choice for
secretary of state:
In his rst 3 years in of-
ce, Secretary Husted has
saved taxpayers more than $13
million compared to spending
under previous administration
a 16 percent cut in overall
spending
Secretary Husted has ad-
dressed voter irregularities
and compiled the rst ever
state-wide voter fraud and
suppression report following
the 2012 presidential election
and referred 270 voter fraud
cases to law enforcement.
Secretary Husted has made
doing business in Ohio with
the Ohio Business Central
launch in October, 2013 mak-
ing 80 percent of all lings
available online.
More information is
available at: ww.sos.state.
oh. us / SOS/ upl oad / news /
byTheNumbers/2014October_

These are just a few rea-
sons why I am supporting Jon
Husted for secretary of state
and why you should do the
same. Please vote on Nov. 4
and please vote for Jon Hus-
ted.
Sincerely,
Eva J. Yarger

To the editor,
Here are a few things to
remember if you work for a
living and want to keep your
right to negotiate for wages,
hours and working conditions.
1) Ronald Reagan (a Repub-
lican) red the air trafc con-
trollers when they tried to stand
up for their rights.
2) Our current Governor
John Kasich (a Republican)
went after the teachers union
only to have the law over-
turned. (remember SB5)?
3) Our friends to the west
in Indiana under (Republi-
can Mitch Daniels) got the
right to work bill passed, (a
union-busting law) and they
lied to get it passed by saying
that people shouldnt have to
pay union dues to have a job.
Well, they didnt. I worked in
Fort Wayne in a union shop
and was a union ofcial and
people could work there with-
out being in the union. It was
called an agency shop.
I have some really good
Republican friends and this
isnt about them. The general
platform of the Republican
party seems to be to keep
down the middle class, and
the lower class by taking away
their right to bargain for their
wages, hours, and working
conditions.
If when your feet hit the
oor and you consider your-
self a working class person
trying to make an honest liv-
ing, take that thought with you
when you go to vote, and vote
for the people that have your
best interest in mind.

PAULDING Crestview trav-
eled to Keysor eld at Paulding High
School to take on the Paulding Pan-
thers in week 10 Northwest Confer-
ence on Friday night. With business
to take care of to prepare for the
playoffs, Crestview picked up a 46-8
win over the Panthers.
The Knights defense forced a
three-and-out to start the game. Crest-
view fed running back Jordan Miller
ve straight times for 47 yards includ-
ing a 2-yard toss sweep for a touch-
down. Crestview went for two, and
quarterback Preston Zaleski punched
it in to give the Knights an 8-0 lead
with 8:02 left in the rst quarter.
Pauldings second drive started
off better, as senior Treston Gon-
zales on the rst play of the drive
took a jet sweep for 14 yards. The
Knight defense, however, would hold
the Panthers offense on the next set
of downs, and Crestviews offense
inherited great eld position when
Paulding had a bad snap on the
fourth down punt.
On the Panthers 28 yard line, Za-
leski found fellow senior Alex Cun-
ningham on the rst play of the drive
for a touchdown pass with 5:50 left
in the rst period. Senior Jake Ta-
tum added the point-after and the
Knights had a 15-0 lead.
Paulding fumbled the ensuing
kickoff, and Crestview again got the
ball with favorable eld position.
Pauldings Jarrett Sitton sacked Za-
leski for a 10 yard loss on the rst
Knights snap, but Miller gained 12
yards on two carries before Zaleski
scrambled for a 10-yard pick up on
a fourth-and-8. Jake Lippi eventually
punched the ball in from three yards
out to give the Knights a 21-0 lead
with 3:09 in the rst quarter.
The Panthers had a promising
third drive, as Preston Ingol picked
up 27 yards on a jet sweep. On a
third-and-six, quarterback Corbin
Edwards was picked off by senior
Nathan Owens.
The next two Knight drives were
quick hitters. With 11:34 left in the
rst half, Lippi dashed 78 yards for a
touchdown and minutes later Owens
went 58 yards for another Crestview
rushing touchdown, and Crestview
had a 34-0 lead.
The Knights added one more
score before the end of the rst half
as Zaleski found pay dirt with a 23-
yard run to bring the half time score
to 40-0.
I thought we executed very well
on offense, Crestview coach Jared
Owens said after the game. We
had game plan that had a little more
passing with our offense, but with
the weather didnt allow for that. We
were able to win at the line of scrim-
mage and our running backs found
holes and ran hard.
The Knights improve to 8-2 on
the year and 5-2 in the NWC. Pauld-
ing drops to 1-9 and 0-7 in the NWC.
The Knights await word on who and
where they will play in week 11.
Spencerville travels to Delphos Jef-
ferson on Saturday, which will im-
pact where the Knights are seeded
come playoff time.

VAN WERT The 2014 Cougar
football season came to a close with
a 39-14 loss to St. Marys at Eggerss
Stadium on Friday night. The game
was close through the rst three-and-
a-half quarters - Roughriders led 20-
14 with eight minutes to play - before
St. Marys poured it on.
The Riders, who had lost to Van
Wert in each of the last two years, had
a player ejected late in the nal pe-
riod and scored a pair of touchdowns
after the outcome had been decided.
That late urry caused emotions to
run hot on the Cougar sidelines.
Thats their program and their
coach, Van Wert coach Keith Reck-
er said of the ag-lled nal few
minutes. Whether we beat them last
year or lost to them the years before,
theyre going to do those types of
things.
Thats why we had to call a
timeout there at the end, to make
sure our guys knew to let (St.
Marys) do all that, and just play
football and be done with it. Dont
let your last plays be remembered,
like number 50 (St. Marys junior
Dane Chisholm) getting kicked
out. We didnt want any of that to
happen (to our guys).
St. Marys came into the game as
the Western Buckeye Leagues best
rushing team and spent Friday night
improving on those numbers. Isaac
Fitzgerald ran the ball to the inside
while Eric Spicer got the bulk of the
work on the outside. The Roughrid-
ers did not attempt a pass in the con-
test.
The Roughriders took the open-
ing kickoff and marched methodi-
cally down the eld, in the face of
a stiff wind that brought rain, and
eventually snow, down onto the eld.
It took St. Marys 10 plays to travel 65
yards and Fitzgerald punched in the
10-yard run.
The Cougars answered on their
rst possession, needing just eight
plays - seven of them runs - to go
68 yards. Junior quarterback Colin
Smith broke free on a read-option
keeper and raced 39 yards for the ty-
ing touchdown with 3:57 left in the
rst quarter.
Cougars season comes to a close with loss to St. Marys
BY JOE SHOUSE
HAVILAND Much
like the mail man, Wayne
Trace didnt allow the rain,
snow, or wind keep them
from delivering a regular sea-
son-ending win over county
rival and Green Meadows
Conference foe Antwerp.
For the Raiders, a quick start
proved to be all they needed
to cruise to a 46-8 beating of
the Archers.
It was the Raiders eighth
win of the season, but a play-
off spot isnt yet a certainty
for Wayne Trace. A number
of scenarios would determine
who is in and who is left out
after games are completed
over the weekend with the of-
cial announcement made on
Sunday by the OHSAA.
Following the game, head
coach Bill Speller reminded
his team of the playoff pic-
ture and what needed to hap-
pen.
Just wait on my call to-
morrow and it will be either
good news and hopefully we
will have another opportuni-
ty to play Tinora or it will be
bad news and it will be time
to turn in your gear, Speller
said.
In the mean time, the
Raiders took care of busi-
ness in convincing fashion
in the early going. Running
just seven offensive plays in
the rst quarter, the Raiders
scored three touchdowns to
move in front 24-0 after 12
minutes of play.
Following an opening
possession by the Archers
that netted just two yards, the
Raiders took over on their
own 44 yard line. Senior Da-
ron Showalter racked up 25
yards on the ground followed
by Tyler Showalter adding 22
yards. On the third play of
the drive, senior Tyler Show-
alter found the end zone on
a 9-yard scamper with 8:35
showing on the clock. The
possession covered 56 yards
in just 49 seconds.
The second Raider touch-
down was a two-play affair,
capped off when Showalter
connected on a 36-yard pass
to senior Jake Dingus at the
5:24 mark, still in the open-
ing period. Showalter was
successful on the two-point
conversion attempt and the
Raiders were in control 16-0.
The Archers controlled
the ball for nearly ve min-
utes with a 10-play drive that
would advance the Archer
offense to mid eld but a
fourth-down attempt failed,
turning the ball over the
Wayne Trace with 40 seconds
remaining. Needing just two
plays, Tyler Showalter spot-
ted Cole Shepherd open for
a scoring strike covering 53
yards of real estate to end the
rst quarter. The two-point
conversion was good and the
Raiders had a comfortable
lead at 24-0.

MARIA STEIN The
Halloween matchup with the
Marion Local
Flyers quickly
turned into a
nightmare for
St. Johns on a
dreadful Fri-
day evening for
football.
The Blue Jays turned the
ball over ve times as the
Flyers rolled to a 50-0 Mid-
west Athletic Conference
victory at Booster Field in
Maria Stein, securing an un-
disputed league title for the
Flyers (10-0, 8-0 MAC).
The two teams share a
tradition that is a mirror im-
age of each other as
Marion Local has
made 16 playoff ap-
pearances and won
the state title seven
times including
the last three in a
row. St. Johns has
also made the post-
season 16 times and
has six state championships.
The overall playoff records
for each team are nearly
identical as the Blue Jays are
52-10 and the Flyers have one
more win at 53-9.
Marion Local started
quickly and never looked
back scoring on their rst
possession of the game with
an 8-play, 65-yard drive.
During the drive, Flyer
running back Jacy Goette-
moeller went over the 1,000-
yard mark for the season with
a 9-yard carry to the 21. He is
also the all-time career lead-
ing rusher for Marion Local
with over 3,300 yards. An 11-
yard run by Hunter Wilker
drew rst blood in the con-
test and the extra point by
Peyton Kramer
was good as the
Flyers led 7-0
in less than four
minutes.
The Jays
committed their
rst turnover on the cold,
windy evening on their rst
series of the eerie night with
a fumble at their 42. The Fly-
ers took advantage as Wilker
scored at the 2:18 mark.
Blue Jay quarterback
Nick Martz completed his
only pass of the night with
a 4-yard hookup with fellow
senior Tyler Conley.
The Jays failed to
convert and Deven
Haggard was called
in to punt as the rst
quarter ended.
The Blue Jay de-
fense forced a 3-and-
out. Evan Hays cov-
ered the ball at the
4 before the Jays
turned the ball over again at
the 10. As the weather condi-
tions continued to turn more
frightening, the ball became
slick as the rain started to
change over to wet snow. The
result was a Flyer fumble
that was recovered by Zach
Fischer at the eight.
The Blue Jays took over
deep in their own territory
and a nice 10-yard run by
Evan Hays ended with a fum-
ble back to the Flyers.

(From page 9)
The Roughriders came
right back, this time using 11
plays to go 80 yards. Fitzger-
ald found pay dirt from one
yard out as time expired in the
opening period.
Fitzgerald carried the ball
24 times in the rst half, gain-
ing 136 yards.
The Cougars fought back
with their initial drive of the
third quarter and, once again,
it was Smith breaking off a big
play. Facing a second-and-17,
Smith rolled to his left, then
reversed eld and scrambled
to his right, picking up a key
block from Kaleb Cantrell,
and gained 28 yards to move
the ball into Roughrider ter-
ritory. Five plays later, Smith
kept the ball, bounced off
left tackle, and outran the
St. Marys defense to the end
zone. Gavin Gardners extra
point tied the game at 14-14.
As they did in the rst half,
however, St. Marys answered
a Van Wert score. A Fitzger-
ald 12-yard gain, plus a Cou-
gar personal foul, got the ball
down to the 25. Two Fitzger-
ald runs moved the ball inside
the Cougar 10 and quarter-
back Dustin Howell scored
on a sneak from the one. The
extra-point was missed and
the Rider lead was only six
entering the fourth quarter.
Fitzgerald nished the
game with an astounding 47
carries and racked up 278
yards while Spicer added 105
yards on just eight carries.
Sixty-eight of his yards came
on a fourth-quarter scoring
run that made it a two-score
game.
Van Werts Justice Tussing,
who needed 121 rushing yards
to reach 1,000 for the year,
was held to 84 yards on the
ground, those coming on 24
carries. Smith racked up 112
yards on the ground on only
ten carries.
The Cougars close the year
at 3-7, but went 3-2 at home.
The ve road losses came
against the top ve nishers in
the WBL.
It was an up and down
season, but they came to work
everyday. They could have
made it miserable in losing a
couple of games, and say here
we go again, Recker said.
They didnt do that. They
understand the direction they
want this program to head in.
Myself and the coaches, we
can oversee everything and
get them in place, but without
the players, we have no pro-
gram.
While the Van Wert pro-
gram says goodbye to eight se-
niors, the bulk of the starters
on both offense and defense
will return next year, when the
schedule ips and opponents
like Ottawa-Glandorf, Wapak,
and Kenton will all need to
come to Eggerss Stadium.
(Our players) talk about
that, that we have a lot of
kids coming back, but theyve
got to understand that 10-0
doesnt just happen. We have
a lot of work to do yet in the
offseason, and I think theyre
willing to do that, Recker ex-
plained. Well have one more
get-together to celebrate the
senior and what they did for
us, then well be moving on to
get ready for next year.

Panthers fall to Minster
BY BRIAN BASSETT
ROCKFORD If rain is the great equal-
izer in sports, than driving snow might be the
next best thing. Or so it seemed during the
rst half of a Midwest Athletic Conference be-
tween Minster and Parkway at Panther Field
Friday evening.
Eventually, however, Minster fought
through the weather, and the Panther defense,
in route to a 35-15 win.
After an essentially even rst half of play,
the Wildcats scored with 24 seconds to play
in the second quarter to force a 14-7 halftime
lead.
Minsters offensive line, as well as ju-
nior running back Evan Huelsman, began to
grind on the Parkway (1-9, 1-7 MAC) defense
throughout the third - which turned out to be
the difference.
Huelsman racked up 145 yards on 29 car-
ries during the game.
I was a little disappointed (with our play),
admitted Parkway coach Dan Cairns. We
came out and were playing with them to start
the game. Then we had trouble stopping the
running game. They were a little bit bigger
than us and a little bit more physical than us.
The Minster (7-3, 5-3 MAC) ground-and-
pound assault actually began mid-way through
the second quarter. After the Panthers tied the
game at seven, Minster went on a 17-play, 65-
yard, six-minute drive which culminated in a
Huelsman 4-yard touchdown run right before
the break.
The drive featured 15 Huelsman carries, 13
of them coming consecutively.
The weather had an obvious effect on the
early parts of the game, before the drizzling
rain turned to snow. After a Parkway three-
and-out to open the game, Minster returned
the ball to the Panthers with a fumble.
Parkway sophomore quarterback Justin
Barna was then intercepted by junior defensive
back Jacob Dues who, in turn, fumbled on the
return - giving the ball back to Parkway.
The Panthers were forced to punt, however,
and a the visitors nally found pay dirt. A 33-
yard pass from junior quarterback Josh Nix-
on to senior receiver Eli Wolf set up a 1-yard
Nixon touchdown run. The Schultz PAT gave
Minster an early 7-0 lead with 2:02 to play in
the rst.
The score held for the remainder of the
quarter and half of the second, before Parkway
came up with an answer.
The teams traded multiple punts before
a bad snap on a Minster punt attempt gave
Parkway the ball at the Wildcat 35. After the
drive had seemingly stalled, Barna hooked up
with sophomore receiver Alec Schoenleben
on fourth down for a 32-yard touchdown pass.
The PAT was good from freshman kicker Jus-
tin Rice to tie things at seven.
An interception of Nixon by senior defen-
sive back Ryan Lautzenheiser seemed to give
Parkway momentum to open the second, but
the Panthers were forced to punt.
Minster then went 47 yards in six plays,
capped by a 19-yard touchdown run by sopho-
more receiver Bryce Schmiesing, to run the
Wildcat advantage to 20-7. The lead quickly
became 21-7 after the Schultz PAT with 6:47
left to play in the third.
We had some big plays, we just werent
able to play four quarters with consistency in
terms of putting drives together, continued
Cairns.
In the meantime, the Wildcats continued to
put drives together. They struck again on a 19-
yard touchdown run by senior Sam Dues with
11:51 to play in the fourth. The nal dagger
came at the 9:11 mark, when Schmiesing re-
turned a punt 45 yards for a touchdown which,
along with another Schultz PAT, ran the score
to 35-7, visitors.
They just wore us out, explained Cairns.
We needed to be a little bit tougher, especial-
ly defensively.
The Panthers answered one more time with
7:32 to play in the game, when Barna broke
free for a 34-yard touchdown run. A bobbled
snap on the kick allowed Schoenleben to run
in a two-point conversion to pull the Panthers
within 35-15.
The score would hold throughout the re-
mainder, however.
We put ourselves in bad situations, and its
tough to win when you do that kind of stuff,
concluded Cairns.

BLUFFTON Winter-like weather made its
presence felt all over the area as the 2014 football
regular season had its second-to-last night. That
included Columbus Groves Northwest Confer-
ence tussle versus Bluffton at Harman Field.
The Bulldogs defense came up huge in the
rst half and the offense nally gained traction
as they closed regular play with a 21-6 victory.
Grove (6-4, 5-2 NWC) also secured a home
playoff spot in Region 24 next Saturday versus a
foe to be determined.
Were excited players and coaches to
nally be able to talk about the playoffs. People
have been asking us but we wanted to focus on
Bluffton, Grove coach Andy Schafer explained.
Whats nice is we clinched a home playoff game
its the rst one at Clymer Stadium, I believe,
since 2004. Were looking forward to it, whom-
ever we play.
After Bluffton (3-7, 1-6) gained two rst
downs on its rst series but had to punt near mid-
eld, Grove had the rst of its two turnovers on
its 30 a fumble recovered by Mitchell Ault.
However, the visitors only allowed one rst down
and got the ball back on a ve-yard loss on a 4th-
and-6 from the 16.
A pair of punts followed but on the latter,
Blufftons Dakota Bricker recovered the bobble
for the home team at the Grove 20. A pair of 10-
yard illegal block calls versus the Pirates short-
circuited the drive and a 4th-and-11 incompletion
from the 21 ended the series.
Reid Stechschulte ran for two and then senior
running back Joey Warnecke took the ball off
right guard, ran into the open eld, made a fake
cutback at mideld, and found the right sideline,
outrunning the defense to the pylon. He added
the point-after-touchdown for a 7-0 lead with
5:45 to go in the rst half.
A pair of punts followed with Aults
48-yarder pinning the Bulldogs at the Grove
seven and Warneckes punt into the wind giving
Bluffton possession at the Grove 31. After one
rst down, the guests forced a 4th-and-1 try from
the 12: an Ault pass for Levi Kistler in the end
zone that was batted away by Logan Diller with
33.5 seconds on the clock to effectively seal the
halftime score of 7-0.
With the wind at their backs and the rain/
snow mix picking up, Grove began the second
half at its 25 and used four running plays to dou-
ble its score. At the Bluffton 41, Warnecke took
a handoff off right guard, found the hole and the
sideline all the way to the end zone. Warnecke
added the kick for a 14-0 edge with 10:22 left in
the third.
Three straight possessions ended in punts,
with the visitors commencing at the Bluffton 46.
Grove did reach the 12 but Warneckes 29-yard
eld goal was wide right to keep the score 14-0
with 1:19 left in the quarter.
On play two from the Pirate 21, Groves Grant
Schroeder pounced on a fumble at the 20. Three
plays later at the four, including a personal foul
on the Pirates, Warnecke burst off left guard and
made one cut inside to paydirt. Warnecke raised
the score to 21-0 with 11:55 remaining.
A pair of punts ensued, with Bluffton begin-
ning the nal drive of its season at the 18-yard
line and starting quarterback Ault out with an
injury. They needed 14 plays and the remain-
ing 7:04 to take the zero off their side of the
board. At the Grove 11, Clay Wilson took a hand-
off off right guard, veered outside and would not
be denied the endzone as time expired. There
was no point-after try.
We had a big win last week at home versus
Crestview. We had a slow start offensively today
but Im not sure it was that or the weather. We
hadnt had a chance to practice in it this week,
Schafer added. We didnt have a slow start de-
fensively; our defense came up huge in keeping
them off the board until late, not giving up points
when they were deep in our territory three times
the rst half. We made some adjustments offen-
sively, especially at halftime, because we saw
some things we felt we could do and they worked.
Our offensive line took over and our wide receiv-
ers did a great job blocking downeld; generally,
when you get big plays in the running game, its
because receivers are doing their jobs.

game with W over Pirates
(From page 9)
In the second quarter, the Raiders had the
ball on two drives and used both of them to
nd the end zone. Showalter led the Raider at-
tack on the rst drive of the period when he
guided his squad on an eight-play, 80-yard
drive ending with Dingus picking apart the left
side of the Archer defense and marching into
the end zone on a 26 yard run,
Dingus added the two-point run to increase
the Raider margin to 32-0.
On their second drive, the Raiders managed
to recover a couple of their own fumbles on
their way to their nal score of the half. From
the Archer 39 yard line, Showalter danced his
way into the end zone as time expired and the
Raiders enjoyed a 40-0 halftime lead.
In the second half the Raiders used a host
of seniors to get at least one rushing attempt.
Darius Hale, Hank Sinn, J.P. Pierce, Grant Gi-
lett, Riley Moore and Chuckie Chastain each
had an opportunity in the backeld to carry
the ball.
Tonight it was all about our seniors. Those
big senior linemen having the opportunity to
play and run the ball will be a nice memory,
said Raider Head Coach Bill Speller.
(From page 9)
I would like to take a min-
ute to appreciate our seniors
and what they have meant
to our program and our sea-
son. A lot of those guys have
played a lot of football for us
and really come on as seniors
and become starters, Crest-
view head coach Jared Ow-
ens said. Leadership-wise is
really immeasurable at this
point. Im proud of the young
men and students they have
become. Its been a privilege
for me to have been around
them and coach them.

The Flyers made sure not to waste another
opportunity as Goettemoeller pushed the ball
across the goal line with an 8-yard run. Kramer
lined up for the extra point but took the direct
snap and completed a pass to Ryan Bruns for the
2-point conversion and a 22-0 lead.
After a Blue Jay punt, Marion Local scored
again on a 4-play, 41-yard drive to lead 29-0.
The average eld position summed up the rst
half as the Blue Jays started at its 21 and punting
into a 35 mile an hour wind. Marion Local began
drives on average at the 36 of St. Johns.
Jorden Boone took over for Martz in the sec-
ond half as the playing eld continued to get
pelted with wind and snow as the offense stayed
frozen for the Jays. Haggard had to punt from his
own end zone and the ball was driven backward
in the wind to only the 16. Four plays later, quar-
terback Dustin Rethman hit Wilker in the end
zone for his third touchdown of the game and
20th of the season.
The Jays offense continued to struggle and
Haggard again had to punt from his own end
zone. It was blocked by Cole Unrast and went out
of the end zone for a safety as Marion led 38-0.
Both coaches began to substitute junior var-
sity players as Marion scored two more times to
earn the 50-0 victory.
Marion Local pounded out 299 yards of total
offense with Goettemoeller gaining 154 yards on
17 carries and two touchdowns.
The Blue Jays had four yards passing and mi-
nus-2 yards rushing.
With the loss, the Blue Jays (4-6, 2-6 MAC)
playoff hopes were dependant on other teams
in the region. St. Johns fans quickly headed for
their cars to not only get warm but to turn on
the radio or smart phones to learn that both Elida
and Lima Central Catholic both were victorious
while North Baltimore, Ottawa Hills and Edger-
ton all lost to help the Jays chances.
James leads Cavaliers past Bulls, 114-108 in OT
BY ANDREW
SELIGMAN
AP Sports Writer
CHICAGO (AP) LeB-
ron James scored 36 points
and the Cleveland Cavaliers
beat Derrick Rose and the
Chicago Bulls 114-108 in
overtime on Friday night.
James was at his best after
struggling the previous night,
scoring eight points in the ex-
tra period, and the Cavaliers
picked up the win the after
opening with a loss at home to
New York.
Derrick Rose scored 20
points for Chicago, but his
rst meaningful home game
in about a year was spoiled
by a sprained left ankle and
a dominant performance by
the Cavaliers megastar. Rose,
sidelined for most of the past
two seasons by knee injuries,
came up hobbling in the rst
half and headed to the locker
room in the fourth quarter.
Cleveland rallied from ve
down in the closing minute
of regulation after blowing
a nine-point lead to start the
fourth quarter.

Saturday, November 1, 2014
Take control of your
life. You cant accomplish
everything all at once, so
make a commitment and
plan your time accordingly.
If you take on more than you
can realistically handle, you
wont know which way to
turn and are likely to end up
disappointed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Provide stability to
loved ones. Dont be afraid
to leap into action, setting
budgets and a strategy that
will ensure greater security
and peace of mind.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- People from other
cultural backgrounds have
different ways of looking at
life. If you listen and observe,
you will be inspired to utilize
some of what you discover.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- Make the most of
your options. Utilize every
opportunity to push your ideas
forward. If you network, a job
offer will give you a chance to
show others what you can do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) -- A change of plans
will point you in a fascinating
direction. Unleash your
creativity and pay attention
to your hunches. Its time to
incorporate your strengths.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Lucrative fnancial
deals are within reach. Legal
or governmental matters
will move ahead faster than
anticipated. An elderly relative
will offer sound advice. Strive
for perfection.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Let down your guard and
be more outgoing. If you are
approachable, you will have
more opportunities to meet
inspiring individuals. Broaden
your horizons by participating
in inspiring endeavors.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Dont hold grudges.
If you stew over a real or
imagined slight from your
past, you will stir up trouble
that is best ignored. Move
forward and let success be
your revenge.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Keep an open mind and
do your best to increase your
knowledge. Stay in tune with
what is going on around you
and in your chosen feld.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- If you want to have
a bright future, you should
prepare a solid fnancial plan.
Counting on a sudden windfall
will prevent you from seeing
your situation clearly.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Live up to your word.
Broken promises will lead
to problems. Dont damage
your reputation by saying one
thing and doing another. Do
your best and be gracious and
humble.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Dont leave anything to
chance. Go over agreements
and contracts thoroughly,
making sure you get
everything in writing. If you
are conscientious, you will get
additional perks.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Life will be hectic.
Take a little personal time
to rejuvenate and ease your
stress. A day trip or spa visit
will help you put things in
perspective and set priorities.

ALZHEIMERS
(From page A1)
Alzheimers accounts for
60 to 80 percent of dementia
cases. An individual with the
disease shows evidence of
signicant cognitive decline
a decline in memory, lan-
guage or learning which
interferes with independence
in everyday activities such
as paying bills or managing
medications.
Bollin said short-term
memory changes are a big
sign.
An individual who was
very detailed oriented with
planning things, solving prob-
lems and completing tasks
may be showing signs of the
disorder, she said. For ex-
ample, someone who was re-
ally good with crocheting and
may be having a hard time
with the activity or they just
doesnt do it anymore, may
have the disease.
Other warning signs are in-
dividuals having trouble with
words, nishing sentences and
having mood and personality
changes.
Mood changes are very
common and the personality
changes can lead to a person
becoming withdrawn and less
active, Bollin explained.
Up to ve percent (5 mil-
lion) of the people with the
disease have early onset Al-
zheimers (or younger-onset),
which often appears when
someone is in his or her 40s
or 50s.
Bollin said the next step is
to have a thorough checkup
from a family doctor and nd
out exactly what is going on.
There can be different
causes for the symptoms since
a variety of health conditions
can mimic Alzheimers,
Bollin gave details. They
individual may have had a
stroke, could have Parkinsons
or Huntingtons disease or it
could be a blood pressure is-
sue.
Bollin said after a diagno-
sis, she has seen many fami-
lies make a plan that includes
all family members with the
decisions of care plans. For
some families, the diagnosis
makes such an impact, they
choose to travel and become
more family oriented, making
the most of the time they have
left.
If people know what they
are dealing with, they will
have the best access to medical
treatment, care and planning
for the future, Bollin said.
On average, individuals di-
agnosed with Alzheimers live
up to eight years after their
symptoms become noticeable
to others. Survival can range
from four to 20 years, depend-
ing on age and other health
conditions.
Alzheimers patients re-
ceiving treatment in the hospi-
tal stay 2-3 times longer since
they typically have underly-
ing diseases, Bollin said.
That combined with trouble
remembering medications
makes their health spiral out
of control.
Alzheimers disease is life-
changing for both those who
are diagnosed and those close
to them and the Alzheimers
Association has many tools
for caregivers to get day-to-
day help, support and assis-
tance with planning for the
future.
Its an incredibly isolat-
ing disease, Bollin explained.
We can help families identify
needs at home, we offer sup-
port groups and educational
programs, safety tips among
many other tools that are very
helpful.
She said support groups
provide a place to connect
with other caregivers who tru-
ly understand what individu-
als are going through.

WEATHER
(From page A1)
The data collected is now able to be ingested daily into each
new weather model run along with helping to paint an aerial
picture of how much rainfall/snowfall has fallen in the area.
The data is also used to build a climatic database of the United
States.
The NWS thanked both Tony and Josh for their continued
dedication in taking weather observations. The NWS Coopera-
tive Program spans all 50 states, collecting weather observa-
tions from numerous volunteer weather observers for the cli-
mate database, weather forecasts, and for the protection of life
and property.

You will nd on LinkedIn a lengthy
discussion about this stamp and its mean-
ing to the world. According to Jay Tell,
the owner of Americana Stamp and Coin
Galleries: I view rare stamps as minia-
ture works of art, the ultimate collectible,
steeped and intertwined in the magni-
cent history of America and the world,
and the effervescent history of philately.
Many people have stayed clear of col-
lecting because the feel that only mint
stamps may have some worth someday.
However, that is not true. The simple
fact of the matter is this one-cent stamp
is used, cancelled, and has been signed.
That is not too bad for a used piece of
paper that has increased in value 940
million times.
If your child or grandchild asks you
about stamps, take them to the library
and nd them a book about collecting or
have them stop in here at the museum and
we can help get them started in a hobby
that could carry them through the rest of
their lives.
Because of its overwhelming popu-
larity, we are running a second trip
to New England. Everything will be
identical but we will leave on Saturday,
October 10, 2015 and return on Sunday
October 18, 2015. Call 419-303-5482 if
you are interested. Deadline is Novem-
ber 15th. We are more than half way
there and the rst trip sold out in two
days!
DAYS
(From page A5)
Approximately 50 farm-
ers and at least as many Ro-
tarians dined on steaks at the
Hotel Marsh as they listened
to a national beef expert talk
about the state of the cattle in-
dustry and farming in general.
James E. Poole, a member of
the staff the Breeders Gazette
magazine in Chicago and a
commentator on the WLS
farm report, told the crowd
that the Midwest had plenty
of production space available
for cattle and that the tax du-
ties on imported beef, noting
South America in particular,
should not be dropped. He
said the reported scarcity of
U.S. beef was a short-term
problem due to the western
drought and a sharp increase
in hog and lamb production.
READ ONE
(From page A1)
The staff encourages
participants to turn in the
books they read during the
month, even if they have
not quite discovered what
happened to Amy Dunne
(Gone Girl), who tried
to kill the French president
(Personal), or if Lieutenant
Eve Dallas will solve her
most recent case (Festive in
Death). The goal of the Read
One Program is to stress the
value of literacy, not to make a
reader rush through a book in
a 31-day period.
The Times Bulletin and
Delphos Herald staffs will
compile a list with all the
different submitted titles and
then publish it in an edition in
November.
AKRON, Ohio (AP) A man who was
convicted of beating his girlfriends parents to
death with a sledgehammer should be execut-
ed, a jury said Friday.
After hearing arguments from prosecutors
and defense lawyers, the Summit County jury
that convicted Shawn Ford Jr. of aggravated
murder last week recommended he be given
the death sentence for killing 59-year-old Mar-
garet Schobert. The jury split its decision, rec-
ommending that Ford be given life in prison
without parole for the slaying of 56-year-old
Jeffrey Schobert.
Judge Tom Parker will have the nal deci-
sion when he sentences the 20-year-old Ford
later.
Ford, of Akron, put his head down and
showed no emotion when the decision was an-
nounced. Attorneys and families declined to
comment afterward, citing a gag order.
Prosecutors said Ford and a 14-year-old boy
killed the Schoberts in their home near Akron
in April 2013 because they kept Ford from see-
ing their daughter after he severely beat her.
They said the Schoberts killings came 10 days
after Ford stabbed and critically injured their
daughter for refusing him sex.
They said Ford and the teenage boy fatally
beat Jeffrey Schobert in his bed with a sledge-
hammer, then lured Margaret Schobert home
to her death by sending her text messages from
her dead husbands cellphone.
Fords attorneys argued that he cant legally
face the death penalty because of his low IQ.
The judge is expected to conduct a hearing on
that issue before the sentencing.
The teenage boy charged in the case is
awaiting trial.
Jury: Death penalty for couples
hammer killings
BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS

LEBANON, Ohio (AP) An Ameri-
can who is back home after being de-
tained for nearly six months in North
Korea said Friday that he left a Bible in
a nightclub hoping it would get into the
hands of what he called the countrys un-
derground Christian church.
Jeffrey Fowle said he traveled to the
country as a tourist but saw the opportu-
nity as a way to follow the Christian mis-
sion to carry the Gospel to all corners of
the oath.
I knew it was a risk, that I was taking
a gamble, but I felt compelled to do that
to aid the underground church in some
small way, Fowle said in an interview in
his lawyers ofce.
I felt once I left the Bible somewhere
that God would take it the rest of the way
into the hands of some kind of Christian
organization, and Id be able to waltz out
of country fat, dumb and happy, no prob-
lem, he said. But God had other plans.
Fowle, 56, arrived in North Korea on
April 29. The married father of three re-
turned home last week after negotiations
involving retired diplomat and former
Ohio Congressman Tony Hall. Fowle,
who conducted several interviews Fri-
day about his detention, was relaxed and
comfortable during a 45-minute inter-
view.
He said he went to North Korea to
experience the country and that spread-
ing the Gospel was a secondary motiva-
tion. Hed previously traveled to Bosnia
and Mongolia, he said, saying he liked
out-of-the-way places. He was aware
of warnings about travel to North Korea
but went anyway, knowing that American
tourists had gone and returned over the
past decade.
Fowle, an equipment operator in the
city of Moraine street department, said
he paid about $3,900 for the tour, plus
about $700 for a ight to Beijing. He
said criticisms that going on such a tour
would help the North Korean govern-
ment continue its oppressive ways was a
legitimate question, but he doubted his
money went far.
My fees wouldnt have bought a
tank, thats for sure, he said.
Fowle said he left the Bible with
his name in it in a bathroom under a
trash bin at a nightclub in the northern
port city of Chongjin and hoped a Chris-
tian would nd it. He chose that city and
the nightclub in the belief there would
be less security. He bought the English-
Korean Bible before his trip.
