Lakeview Farms acquires Future Food Brands

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Lakeview Farms is taking
another step to grow its business through a
recent transaction that will combine Future
Food Brands with Lakeview Farms.
Future Food Brands, based in Carrollton,
Texas, sells refrigerated deli and seafood dips,
salads and spreads which are very complementary to Lakeview Farms refrigerated dips
and desserts.
Gene Graves, Lakeview Farms President
and CEO, announced that over the coming
year, the company would be looking at ways
to best operate the businesses of Lakeview
Farms and Future Food Brands together.
We are very excited about this transaction
and the opportunity it brings to expand our
product offerings, Graves said. We can now

seafood dip to our offerings.
Graves said at least one line will be
brought to the Delphos facility from Future
Food Brands but was unsure at his time how
many jobs would be created.
This news comes nine months after
Lakeview Farms announced that it would be
expanding its operations at the former Resers
Fine Food facility at 1600 Gressel Drive in
Delphos and adding 200 new jobs to the local
economy.
Our expansion, which began in May, is
on schedule and should be complete by the
end of April, says Graves. To date, about 130
positions have been added with another 70
positions on track to be filled. This will bring
the total number of employees in Delphos to
over 400.
Weve put a lot of effort and resourc-
es into expanding our operations here in

Delphos. We made a commitment to Ohio
and to the Delphos community and we absolutely intend to honor that commitment, says
Graves. With this addition, we will be better
positioned to serve our customers and their
growing needs, with greater opportunities to
make and sell our products thats a good
thing for Lakeview Farms, for Delphos and
for the State of Ohio.
Graves also announced Monday that
Sequel Holdings and its investor group
acquired Lakeview Farms. Sequel Holdings,
based in Dallas, Texas, has a long-standing relationship with Graves and Lakeview
Farms. Sequel was an investor in the company from 2004 to 2011. Sequel has reinvested
in Lakeview along with Graves.
Sequel knows our company, our products
and our management team very well, says

Forecast
Graves. We have a history of working well

together and have forged a relationship built
on mutual trust and respect.
Graves feels Sequels expertise in the
refrigerated food industry will ensure the
companys continued success for many years
to come.
Graves, who founded the company in
1988, will remain an investor and continue
his role as president and CEO of the company
and as a member of its Board of Directors.
The change in ownership will not impact the
day-to-day operation of the facility nor have
any negative impact on its employees.
Sequel is completely behind the plant
expansion in Delphos and the consolidation
of the Bristol plant, Graves said. They are
also on board with whatever future acquisitions might come along to enhance and grow
the business.

Committee calls 2015 Budget aggressive

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
DELPHOS Aggressive was what the
Delphos City Finance Committee called
the wastewater treatment plants proposed
2015 Budget. The surprise Monday evening
during the special meeting was Wastewater
Superintendent Todd Temans plan to reduce
the electricity bill at the plant by 50 percent
during a proposed pilot study of new technology to improve the plants performance.
I think we can save $300,000 in power
when we do the pilot study with the way we
have it figured out, Teman said. Well run
one train for treatment and two for biologics.
That means we only have to have one of the
five blowers operating at full power. The cost
of running the blowers is significant, so idling
those other blowers will make that savings
happen.
The new proposed technology takes up
half the space of the existing membrane
system. The pilot study includes $600,000 of
construction and equipment and a representative from the company, Fibracast of Canada,
who will stay in Delphos and work at the
plant for one year to make sure the product
works up to its expectations and the plant is
functioning efficiently.
This is a really aggressive budget,
Councilman Mark Clement said. I hope you
make it and Id like to hear the progress on

this. I hope we can do it.
Temans budget came in at $2,722,004,
right on Auditor Tom Jettinghoffs target.
All department heads were in attendance.
Police Chief Kyle Fittros budget includes a
new SUV for the department to assist with
winter driving.
We have six vehicles right now, three
of which were paid for with drug forfeiture
money and three the city paid for, Fittro said.
We really need to replace the Crown Victoria.
We are having a lot of problems with it and as
you can imagine, its not the best in the snow.
The fleet also includes two Dodge
Chargers, a Ford Escape, a Dodge Durango
and a Dodge Stratus.
Is the number of vehicles you have adequate? Councilman Joe Martz asked. Is it
more or less than you need?
We have enough to keep two cruisers on
the road per shift. Fittro said. We are at an
all-time low for fleet and personnel but were
making it work.
Councilman Tom Grothous questioned
Fittros overtime projection at $80,000.
Your figure is higher than it was in 2014
($76,250), Grothous said.
I have less staff to work the same amount
of hours, Fittro said. The only way you can
accomplish that is with overtime.
See COMMITTEE, page 14
DELPHOS Delphos
City Schools Treasurer Brad
Rostorfer had good news
for board members Monday
night. Governor John Kasichs
proposal for the 2015-16
school year budget looks very
promising and the district will
net close to $202K.
We can make this go a
long way, he said. We will
have a nice update when we
announce our spring forecast.
The board also approved
the creation of the Last Mile
Grant, which is a state grant to
hardwire Landeck Elementary
School with Jefferson Middle
School; in essence, linking
all schools in the district and
improving the IT infrastructure. The grant is approved
for $25,600.
With
the
PARCC
(Partnership for Assessment
of Readiness for College and
Careers) testing that the state
is requiring, the wireless connection between the middle
school and Landeck is not
secure and they dont want to
take any chances, Rostorfer
explained. Time Warner has
submitted a bid for the project.
Superintendent
Kevin
Wolfe recognized the custodial crews for keeping the
schools sidewalks and parking lots clear during the winter weather.
The weathers been challenging and the crews put in
a lot of hours, Wolfe said. I
would also like to thank our
bus drivers for getting our
students to school safely.
Recently, High School
Principal John Edinger, High

School Guidance Counselor
Martin Ross and Middle
School Principal Doug
Westrick presented the new
graduation requirements to
close to 60-65 parents of students in grades 7-9.
It was very informative
and explained all the requirements that are coming down
the pipe, Wolfe said. The
slide show is available on
the schools website. There
is also information on all
the pre-requisite coursework
needed prior to taking any of
the exams.
Check the school website under the calendar link
for updated PARCC testing
dates.
The board adopted a resolution approving the authorization of an athletic checking account that sets a specific amount (not more than
$10,000) to be maintained
by the account, identifies
the custodian responsible for
the account and specifies the
purpose of the account and
allowable expenditures.
Board members accepted a donation of $890.40
from Knights of Columbus
President Ed Klima from the
Measure Up campaign for
Special Needs Education.
The organization presents
this donation to us every year
and we want to thank them,
Wolfe said. The money will
be used for graduation.
The board accepted the
resignation of Laura Peters as
assistant treasurer, effective
Feb. 27, and approved using
Peters service for training
purposes, if needed, beginning March 2.

14 Agency found some areas of oversight that require improvement.
Ohio EPA is requiring us to
rewrite the storm water management plan, she said. I see the
contracts needing to be tweaked a

little bit about who delivers what
or what the responsibilities are at
that time.
According to Seibert, of particular concern to the OEPA are
construction sites. She acknowledged that, until recently, attention
to such areas was sparse. With
increasing concerns about siltation
and contaminants that increase the
probability of toxic algal blooms,
however, comes the need for more
stringent oversight. As a consequence, the fee for Elidas participation in the program rose $700,
a portion of which will help pay
for increased supervision at construction and the enforcement of
regulations concerning such areas.
In closing her presentation,
Seibert said, We appreciate the
opportunity to serve your storm
water program and to deal with this
as a community.
Council also returned to the

topic of what, if any, role it should
play in the hiring of village personnel. At its last meeting, Councilor
Claude Paxton raised the possibility of establishing a personnel committee. Council members discussed
the issue at length and gave greater
credence to simply discussing matters related to personnel in executive session but came to no definite
conclusion.
This week, Austin Klaus, the
villages solicitor, who was absent
from the Jan. 27 meeting, expressed
the opinion that a committee could
prove counterproductive and a
potential liability.
This is generally not a legislative responsibility that council
entertains, Klaus said, referring
specifically to the hiring of personnel. It goes into the sort of administrative task that village employees are responsible for handling.
Klaus raised the specter of legislative acts concerning open records

and meetings, acts that fall under
the umbrella of what is more commonly referred to as Sunshine Law.
To have council involved in
the hiring process the whole way
throughout would be difficult, he
said, and probably not something
I would recommend. Its not an
avenue I would recommend we go
down.
Instead, and supporting the
apparent consensus of council at its
last meeting, Klaus recommended
that council address personnel matters through the legal and private
expedient of executive session.
Council agreed to meet at 7 p.m.
on Feb. 24, immediately before
their next regularly scheduled
meeting, to discuss the villages

NBC suspends
Brian Williams
for 6 months
NEW YORK (AP) NBC

announced Tuesday that it is
suspending Brian Williams
as Nightly News anchor
and managing editor for six
months without pay for misleading the public about his
experiences covering the Iraq
War.
NBC chief executive Steve
Burke said Williams actions
were inexcusable and jeopardized the trust he has built
up with viewers during his
decade as the networks lead
anchor. But he said Williams
deserved a second chance.
Williams apologized last
week for saying he was in a
helicopter that was hit by a
grenade while covering the
Iraq War in 2003. Instead,
another helicopter flying
ahead of his was hit, and some
veterans involved in the mission called him out on it. The
swift public reaction had put
NBC News on a crisis footing.
NBC News President
Deborah Turness said in a
memo that Williams misrepresented events that occurred
while he was covering the
war.
It then became clear that
on other occasions Brian had
done the same while telling
that story in other venues,
Turness said. This was wrong
and completely inappropriate
for someone in Brians position.

Governor creates task force

to examine college costs
Graduate finds old letters from congressman

DHI Media Staff Reports
DELPHOS 1970 Jefferson graduate Dave Smith of Delphos has been
doing a little spring cleaning and came
upon an envelope he hadnt seen in
more than 40 years. It contained a
congratulatory letter on his high school
graduation from U.S. Congressman
Delbert Latta and a copy of William

Tyler Pages The Americans Creed.
Smith said the letter and creed had
been sent to his home after his graduation.
I know they dont do that any more
but when I read it and the creed, I think
maybe they should, Smith said.
Lattas letter alludes to the country
being tested from within and with-
out during the Vietnam War and the

letter was written less than a month
after Ohio National Guardsmen fired
upon an already dispersed crowd of
student protesters, killing four and
wounding nine others at Kent State in
Kent, Ohio.
Smith said he enjoyed seeing the
correspondence again and he was
going to tuck the envelope back away.

Greetings from snowy Michigan! We

received more than a foot of snow over
the weekend. Some had reports of 16-18
inches. Its a pretty sight to look at. The
evergreen trees have enough snow on
their branches to make such nice scenery. What a wonderful creator our God
is! The temperature also dipped down to
almost zero degrees. The wind chill was
even colder.
With all the snow and wind, the roads
werent opened until Monday. Everyone
was homefactories closed and schools
all closed in the county. We did the laundry and Joe mixed the summer sausage
so we could get it in bags. We hung it in
the pole building to cure for a week or
two. Then Joe will smoke it in the smoker. The recipe calls for 100 pounds of
hamburger and sausage, so we ended up
with almost 40 bags of summer sausage.
We added cheddar cheese to some of it
and also hot pepper cheese to some of it.
Saturday we helped Jacob and Emma
with pork butchering. We made Pon
Haus (similar to scrapple) out of 21 gallons of pork juice and rendered the lard.
Sunday we visited a neighboring
church district to attend baptism services
for four young souls. One of the boys
is a brother to Mose (Susans friend).
The building was filled to capacity with
people. When we left in the morning
only a few inches of snow were on the
ground. By the time we started home in
the afternoon, the roads had nice-sized
drifts on them. Our ramp and steps to
the house had quite a bit of snow on
them. By the time we walked through
the drifts of snow to the house, our shoes
were all wet.
Our neighbor boy shoveled out our
drive on Monday with their skid loader.
In the yard we have huge piles of snow,
which the younger children enjoy playing on.
Daughter Verena went to the community building on Saturday evening.
The youth all gather there on Saturday
evenings. A few sets of parents go as
chaperones. Verena went home with
niece Salome and some friends and
spent the night at Salomes house (Joes
sister Loretta and her husband, Henry).

Wehri set to become a Lady Senator

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS When it comes to
where a senior scholastic athlete decides
to go to continue his or her career, most
but not all use distance as part of
that equation, as in: is it close enough
for my parents/family/friends to come
and watch?
That is just as true for St. Johns
senior Sam Wehri, only its not as one
might think.
She always wanted to get far away
from her home and that desire never left
as the possibility of playing soccer at the
collegiate level came to fruition.
That is one reason she signed a
national letter-of-intent to Davis and
Elkins College, a Division II institution
in Elkins, West. Va., to play soccer for
the Lady Senators.

California but we nixed that; if we had to
take a plane to go watch her games, that
was too far. This is far enough away as
it is six hours, her mom, Amy, said.
That distance, plus the usual reasons,

were the choice for the soon-to-be graduate.

Motycka reaches milestone as Lady Knights stay perfect
Panthers in mat tri-match
By JIM METCALFE
SPENCERVILLE With limited numbers and injuries late
in the wrestling season, Tuesdays wrestling tri-match inside
Spencervilles cozy old Walk-In Closet was more about individuals getting crucial matches than a team matter.
St. Johns, with the most complete lineup of 11 (out of 14)
won both of their matches: 33-28 over host Spencerville (8
wrestlers) and 45-9 over Parkway (7).
You dont come to a match like this merely looking to
get your hands raised for a forfeit if you can help it; you want
matches. We moved wrestlers up and down in weight for that to
happen, St. Johns coach Derek Sterling noted. We got some
younger kids: like Cody Wright and Patrick Stevenson; two
matches and they won both. That is valuable at this time. Wes
(Buettner) continues to dominate in preparation for what we
hope is a very successful second season that ends in Columbus.

CONVOY The Lady

Knight basketball program is
one very much about team.
On
Tuesday
night,
as Crestview welcomed
non-conference opponent
Celina, the focused shifted.
For the first few minutes of
the game anyway, senior forward Lindsey Motycka was
the center of attention.
Motycka entered the contest just six points shy of
1,000 for her career and she
wasted little time in getting the milestone out of the
way. At exactly 5:00 on the
first-period clock, Motycka
scored from the low block
and drew contact. She strode
to the line and sank the free
throw for the 1,000th point of
her career.
The Lady Knights (19-0)
stayed unbeaten with a 62-38
win over the feisty Lady
Bulldogs.
Following the game,
Motycka acknowledged feeling the pressure build as she
crept closer to the milestone.
She scored the first six points
of the game for the Lady
Knights.
Honestly, I thought
my (free throw) was off to
the left, Motycka said. I

thought I was going to have
to shoot some more but it
ended up going in.
Motycka, who finished
with 11 points and a team-
high six rebounds, became

the fifth member of the 1,000point club at Crestview and
now stands at 1,005 in her
career, a number which ties
her with Rhonda Rickard for

fourth-most in school history.
Im sure she was a little
anxious and wanted to get it
out of the way, Crestview
coach Greg Rickard said of
the early-game focus on getting Motycka the ball. It
was nice for her. The first six
points of the game were hers.
With the festivities taken
care of early, Crestview could
turn its attention to Celina.
The Lady Bulldogs were held
to four first-quarter points, on
1-for-7 shooting, and trailed
by 11 when Paige Motycka
drained a 3-pointer to close
the opening period.
The Bulldogs fought back
in the second and did the bulk
of their damage from the free
throw line. Celina converted
8 of 10 at the stripe in the
quarter. If not for a 12-point
period by junior reserve
Brady Guest, the Bulldogs
may have pulled closer than
the 35-19 margin at halftime.
The defense played well in
the first and fourth quarters,
Coach Rickard added. There
were times where we had good
position and we were reaching
and trying to block shots and
we wound up bailing them (the
Bulldogs) out. They shot a lot
of free throws.

Morrow joins 1,000-point club in rout of Bryan

By NICK JOHNSON
VAN WERT The Lady Cougars stormed out of the gate
early against Bryan on Tuesday night and took away any suspense about the games probable outcome.
Instead, the focus shifted to senior forward Erin Morrow as
her third-quarter bucket lifted her to 1,000 career points during
Van Werts 70-34 win over the Golden Bears.
Morrow got the party started in the first quarter, scoring
five of her game-high 19 points during an 11-0 stretch that
opened the game. Sophomore Emma Kohn added four during
the sequence and the Cougars led by as many as 15-2 before
Brooke Vollmer connected on a 3-pointer for Bryan.
A Riley Jones jumper brought the first quarter score to 19-7
in favor of the Lady Cougars.
Van Wert had such a good time in the first quarter, they
decided to do it again in the second, opening the period on a
13-0 run, featuring five points from Meghan Moonshower and
two made foul shots from Alexa Dunlap, to bring the score to
32-7. Bryan (4-14) got a triple from April Rickenberg and a
layup from Allye Minor to go into the half down 36-12.
Morrow was back at it in the third, connecting on back-toback treys before Alexis Dowdy sank a pair of foul shots. A
Kohn layup put the Cougars up by 34 at 46-12.
Late in the third period, Van Wert got four more points from
Morrow and a trey from Phoebe Eutsler to make the score
53-14.

With 43 second left in the third quarter, Morrow made a
basket she will never forget, allowing her to break the 1,000point mark in her career. The crowd rose to its collective feet
to give the standout senior a standing ovation.
Erin does so much more than just score on the floor. She

Elida out-muscles Lady Panthers

By JIM COX
ROCKFORD The first seven minutes and the last three minutes were
good stretches for Parkway on Tuesday
night but the 22 minutes in between
were forgettable.
Elida shot better and dominated the
boards in a 49-37 win that wasnt as
close as the final score indicated.
The Lady Bulldogs are now 8-12.
The Lady Panthers are 7-12.
Im embarrassed, said Parkway
coach Chris Weirrick. I think they
(Elida) looked really good tonight but
Ill tell you what happened. We checked
out mentally. At halftime, they were

killing us on the boards and all I heard
was Theyre really physical in there,
Coach. I dont care (about the physicality). I just dont know where we were
tonight.
Although Elida dominated the boards
11-3 in the first quarter, Parkway jumped
out to a 9-3 lead, courtesy of a 15-foot
baseline jumper by Kayle Heckler, a
3-pointer from the right wing by Heckler
and two layups by Haley Hawk, both
assisted by Heckler.
Then things went south for the home
team.
Elida scored the next 13 points and
pushed out to a 20-11 lead at the half.
After 16 minutes, the Panthers had
canned only five of their 26 field goal

tries (19 percent) and been outboarded
19-10. The Dawgs had only landed
seven of their 22 shots (32 percent) but
had hit four free throws (out of 8) while
Parkway didnt even shoot one.
The margin stayed in the 7- to
10-point range in the third quarter until
Elida ended it with a 9-0 run, putting
the visitors up 36-19 after three. The
Panthers ended the game with an 8-2 run
which included three breakaway layups
by Terra Walls.
Coach Weirrick was also displeased
with his teams pace.

Third-period run gives Lancers Dowdys 24 leads

control over Lady Musketeers Lancers past Temple
By JIM METCALFE
RURAL MIDDLE POINT The
Fort Jennings girls cagers were looking for their second win of 2014-15
when they hit the road to Lincolnview
High School to battle the Lady Lancers
Monday night inside The Lancerdome.
The Lady Musketeers stayed close
for 2 1/2 quarters and it took a 13-0
run the last half of the third period for
the host Lancers to finally gain control
en route to a 55-39 non-conference
triumph.
The Lancers won the battle off the
boards 37-21 (15-10 offensive) to offset
their 21 turnovers (16 for the visitors).
The first period saw the Lady
Musketeers (1-18) and their 2-3 matchup zone give the Lancers (12-8) some
fits, forcing six turnovers (21 total).
However, five offensive rebounds
allowed the hosts to get as many shots
from the field 10 as the Orange
and Black. Lincolnview hit five

with Hannah McCleery (19 markers,
6 boards) dropping in eight
points while Jennings netted three (Alyssa Louth with
5 points). McCleerys deep
2-pointer from the left wing at
2:37 gave the Blue and Gold
the lead for good at 8-7 and
her putback at 52 ticks put them
up 12-7 at the end of the stanza.
Lincolnviews full-court
man-to-man defense stymied
the Musketeers even more in
the second stanza, limiting them
to 1-of-8 shooting and 2-of-4 at
the line as Haley Wittler (5
boards) scored three and Erin
Eickholt a single. The visitors
forced six more miscues but
couldnt hold down Lincolnview
to keep pace. When Julia Thatcher (9
counters, 11 boards, 4 assists) hit a pair
of freebies at 1:15, the hosts led 22-11
at halftime.
Jennings had a run in them to open
55
the third. A 3-ball by Jenna Calvelage to

open the canto began that rally and when
she put back a miss at 4:53,
they were within 26-21.
After Ashton Bowersock
(16 counters, 8 rebounds) hit
two free tosss at 3:53, Kylie
Jettinghoff (7 counters, 5
steals, 6 caroms) hit the 1stof-2 at the line with 3:50 showing.
Lincolnviews pressure finally asserted itself, forcing four
turnovers the remainder of that
period. Bowersock with 12
points in the period scored
eight of the next 13 Lancer
points, including a baseline
drive at 1:37, to make the lead
41-22. Lady Musketeer Gabby
Clippinger broke the string with a
free throw at 1:26 and Jettinghoff
hit a shot from in front at 1:00 to account
for a 41-25 third-period margin.

Harder than ever to win on the PGA Tour

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. Five weeks into the new year,
all five winners on the PGA Tour were among the top 50 in
the world.
Jason Day didnt need numbers to illustrate what is becoming increasingly clear.
The game is kind of changing, Day said after winning a
4-man playoff at Torrey Pines. Its evolving into very young,
tall, big, strong-looking guys out here that hit it a mile
and have fantastic touch. Its getting tougher. Its really
tough to win out here.
Thats easy for him to say with only three PGA Tour
wins in eight years. For all his talent, the 27-year-old
Australian has been cursed by nagging injuries. His hope
is to stay healthy all year and finally achieve, or at least
make significant progress, toward his lifelong goal of being
No. 1 in the world.
The road to the top, however, is starting to look like a
California freeway at rush hour.
Day was 18 when he first started playing on the PGA Tour
in 2006, the year that Woods won multiple majors for the second straight year and ended the season by winning his last six
PGA Tour events. Woods made it look easy.
The new target is Rory McIlroy, who also can make it look
easy. McIlroy already has four majors, one by a record margin (eight shots in the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island)
and two in wire-to-wire fashion (US Open at Congressional,
British Open at Hoylake). McIlroy is going to make Days
goal a lot harder to reach.
But its everyone around him that will make the road feel
even longer.
Its easy to jump on Days bandwagon because he is blessed
with enormous power and skill, he believes he has his injuries
under control and is more motivated than ever. Day has six top
10s and no finish out of the top 20 except for injury-related
WDs since the British Open last summer.
But look around.

for his victory in the Phoenix Open. The 24-year-old Floridian is

powerful, the prototype of the modern golfer, and his quiet work
ethic figures to take him even further than he already has come.
Dont forget Jimmy Walker and his 9-shot win at the Sony
Open, the largest margin on the PGA Tour in nearly six years.
That was Walkers fourth victory in his last 32 starts in America.
No one has won more during that stretch and, remember,
Walker lost a 4-shot lead on the back nine at Kapalua and was
only two shots out of the playoff at Torrey Pines last week.
The winner at Kapalua? Patrick Reed, who at 24
picked up his fourth career victory.
The list keeps growing.
Koepka was in the mix at the Phoenix Open with Hideki
Matsuyama, 2-time Masters champion Bubba Watson and
hard-charging Jordan Spieth, the 21-year-old Texan who
is becoming a fixture among the top 10 in the world. Day
was in a playoff at Torrey Pines with Harris English, an athletic
25-year-old from Georgia who already has two PGA Tour wins
and has the game that makes other players watch.
The game is in a good spot, especially with the younger
guys, Day said. Its evolving into a fantastic, powerful sport.
Most of the players, particularly the younger ones, are a
product of the Tiger era. They are better off because they only
watched him, they didnt get beat by him.
A lot of people of my generation are used to getting our heads
bashed in by Tiger, said Charles Howell III after he missed the
playoff at Torrey Pines by one shot. These guys dont really
seem to be afraid of anything and they come out ready to win.
Howell mentioned Spieth and Justin Thomas, a 21-year-old
rookie who already has played in the final group on weekends
at two tournaments this year.
Day is playing the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am
this week and he can move up two spots to No. 2 with a victory.
Hes still miles from McIlroy. A year ago, Day won the Match
Play Championship to reach No. 4 and had legitimate ambitions
to reach the top of the ranking. Woods was No. 1, though there
were early signs that he was fading. Day wound up missing
most of the next three months with a thumb injury, and McIlroy
soon ruled the world of golf.

LIMA For the first quarter-and-a-half of Tuesdays game,

Lima Temple Christian was like a bad penny which keeps on
turning up wherever you look. No matter what Lincolnview
did early in its boys basketball matchup, the Pioneers didnt let
them get too comfortable.
Until Justis Dowdy remembered his green light.
I dont really think, I just shoot it. Thats what Coach tells
me to do, Dowdy said. Yep, just let it fly if Im open.
The senior guard scored eight of the final nine points
of the first half, highlighted by a pair of 3-pointers, to give
Lincolnview a boost going into halftime, a surge the Lancers
would ride to a 63-30 demolition of the host Pioneers.
Dowdy finished with 24 points, hitting four 3-pointers and
making 6-of-6 free throws. He also pulled in six rebounds.
Anytime youre able to end a quarter or a half on a good
note is always a positive, Lincolnview coach Brett Hammons
said. They had it down to (eight) there and we extended it
back to 17 thanks to Justis. Hes made some big shots for us
this season, and hopefully he continues to.
Dowdy added, We wanted to come in here and get a big
win. We wanted to get a big win because theyre in our sectional, too.
The sectional draw is this Sunday and Lincolnview (10-8)
made a good statement with its second straight win. However,
Hammons isnt concerned with the postseason tournament just
yet.
We just wanted to come out and play well, Hammons
said. We hadnt won back-to-back games in over a month
now and we had a win Saturday and we wanted to come back
and get a weekday win. This was big just for our confidence,
getting two in a row.
Markus Howell made a 3-pointer for Temple late in the first
half to edge the Pioneers closer at 25-17. It turned out to be the
last time theyd score until 2:55 remained in the third quarter.
In the meantime, Lincolnview went on an 18-0 run
including an 11-0 spurt to start the third quarter to build
an insurmountable 45-17 lead. The lead hit 31 points late in
the fourth and Josh Leiter hit a bucket for the final 33-point
margin.
During halftime, Hammons told his team they needed five
straight stops on the defensive end and five scores on their
offensive side. They did exactly that. Dowdy began the half
with a pair of free throws, Hayden Ludwig made a 3-pointer
and another field goal, sandwiched around two straight baskets
in the paint from Derek Youtsey.
We got out a ran a little better, which is huge for our
offense, Hammons said of second-half adjustments. Weve
struggled in some third quarters but I like the way we came
out. That 11-0 run was big for us in this game.
Ludwig totaled 11 points and six rebounds and Youtsey
added eight points and a game-high seven boards.
Austin Leeths value didnt show up on the offensive end,
probably because he was too busy harassing Temples best
player, Brock Bowman, on the defensive side. Bowman managed only six points on two third-quarter 3-pointers despite
most of Temples sets running him off of multiple screens and
a willingness to shoot anywhere inside of the half-court line.
Coach told me to close outside on him, you cant let him
get going, Leeth said. That was one of the biggest keys he
gave us that if (Bowman) gets going on 3s, its going to be a
ball game. I just tried my best to keep him out of the game. As
soon as he gets the ball, hes going right up for 3, so I could
never rest on defense.
Leeth had two points and three steals, helping force Temple
(8-9) into 16 turnovers.
Night in, night out, more than likely Austin Leeth is going
to have the other teams best offensive player, Hammons
said. We trust him, just the energy he brings and the focus he
brings. He follows the scouting report for what we need to do
to make things difficult on that person. He did a good job on
Bowman.
(Leeth) loves that challenge, going against the other teams
best player. Luckily for us he was able to do that tonight.

Ohio State hires Tony
Alford to coach running
backs
COLUMBUS Tony
Alford, who has coached college running backs for 18
years including the past six
at Notre Dame, is coming
to Ohio State to join Urban
Meyers staff.
Alford replaces Stan
Drayton, hired last week as a
Chicago Bears assistant.
Alford, whose official title is assistant head
coach for offense/running
backs, was a star rusher
at Colorado State in 1990
when Meyer was in his first
year as an assistant coach.
The Akron, Ohio, native has
worked extensively with
three current Ohio State
assistants during a career
that has also taken him to
Mount Union, Kent State,
Iowa State, Washington and
Louisville.
Friedgen steps down as
Rutgers offensive coordinator
NEW YORK Ralph
Friedgen is stepping down
as offensive coordinator at
Rutgers after one season with
the school and wide receivers coach Ben McDaniels is
being promoted to become
the fourth coach to run the
Scarlet Knights offense in
four seasons under Kyle
Flood.
Flood announced on
Tuesday the 67-year-old
Friedgen will move into a
consulting role as special

Friedgen returned to
coaching last year for the first
time since being forced out as
Marylands head coach after
the 2010 season. He helped
the Scarlet Knights to an 8-5
record in their first season in
the Big Ten. Rutgers had its
most productive offense since
2008, averaging 390 yards
per game in 2014.
Friedgen said his health
was fine but he was no longer
up for the 18-hour work days
for 15 weeks of the year.

Dorsett played football not
knowing dementia could result
Associated Press
DALLAS Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett says
he started playing football not knowing that the end was
going to be like this what he calls a frustrating battle with
a condition caused by head trauma that can lead to dementia
and depression.
The former Heisman Trophy winner at Pittsburgh and Super
Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys was diagnosed in
2013 as having signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a
degenerative brain condition. Dorsett told Dallas-area radio
station KTCK-AM 1310 last week that he loves football and
it was good to me.
Its just unfortunate that Im going through what
Im going through. Im in the fight, man. Im not just
laying around letting this overtake me. Im hoping we
can reverse this thing somehow.
In a lengthy interview with The Associated Press
in 2012, Dorsett discussed the toll his football career
took on his body and brain, detailing a helmet-to-helmet hit in a 1984 game that knocked him out. He
called it the hardest hit he ever took.
That aint the first time I was knocked out or been
dazed over the course of my career and now Im suffering for
it, Dorsett told the AP three years ago. And the NFL is trying
to deny it.
Dorsett and thousands of former players have accused the
NFL of long hiding what it knew about concussions and brain
injuries to keep players on the field. The 60-year-old Dorsett
opted out of a settlement between the NFL and former players
that could end up paying out $1 billion because he wanted his
case to stand on its merits.
Dorsett rushed for 12,739 yards in 11 seasons with the
Cowboys and one with Denver. He won his only Super Bowl
when he was a rookie after the 1977 season. He told the radio
station he often forgets how to get to places hes visited for
years. He has previously said he was troubled by short-tempered moments with his family.
Some days are good. Some days are bad, Dorsett told the
radio station. I signed up for this when, I guess, I started playing football so many years ago. But, obviously, not knowing
that the end was going to be like this.
Dorsett held the NCAA career rushing record for 22 years
with 6,082 yards at Pittsburgh before Texas Ricky Williams
broke it in 1998. He said hed still encourage young athletes,
including those in his family, to play football.
I would just be a little bit more concerned about certain
injuries, he said. When I was playing, my whole mentality
Elida
We did not follow the game plan,

he said. I wanted to us to press the ball
on defense. I wanted us to push the ball
on offense. We didnt start doing that
until the last three minutes of the game
and look what happened - we got easy
buckets.
Although Parkway won the
fourth-quarter board battle 11-5, Elida
still had a 32-24 rebound lead for the
game as a whole. The Lady Bulldogs
Morrow
Erin does so much

more than just score on the
floor. She has played everything from the one to the
five, explained a proud
Cougar head coach, Lance
Moonshower. She has great
vision and she looks to pass
first sometimes. We have
really had to get on her since
she was a freshman to be a
little selfish and take some
more shots.
She is just a kid who
works hard, she is always in
also shot better from the field, 40 percent (20 of 50) to 31 percent (16 of 52).
Elida had five treys, Parkway only one.
The Panthers had one less turnover,
16-17. Free throws were not a factor,
with both teams shooting poorly on the
few tries they had. Parkway was 4-of8 for 50 percent, Elida 4-of-9 for 44
percent.
The only double-figure scorers in
the game were Parkways Heckler and
Elidas Bailee Kuhn with 11 each.
The Parkway junior varsity rolled
the gym or up at the Y. Its

good to see a kid that works
get to this accomplishment.
A Meghan Moonshower
triple would end the third
period with the Lady Cougars
ahead 58-20.
Van Wert (6-14) iced the
game with a 3-point play
and a 3-pointer from Eutsler
in the fourth quarter. Later
the Lady Golden Bears got
hoops from Asia Shuherk and
Vollmer to bring the score to
65-32, Van Wert.
Van Wert added another triple from Eutsler and a
Motycka
Celina (4-15) maintained its aggression into the third quarter, with junior
Trisha Dennis getting the bulk of the
work offensively. At an athletic 5-10,
Dennis provided a challenge for the
Crestview post defenders and by the
midway point of the third period, she
had racked up 14 points to lead all
scorers.
A Kennis Mercer 3-pointer and a
brilliant Paige Motycka assist to Emily
Bauer underneath helped Crestview
build a 48-30 lead but the Bulldogs got
back to within 15 heading to the fourth.
was that if I could walk Id play. Obviously, theres been a lot

done for head injuries. They know a lot more about the brain
and head trauma that can be created because of being knocked
unconscious so many times.
His game was more about speed and finesse than brute
force.
That helped me survive in the NFL for as long as I did,
added Dorsett, who is listed at 5-11 and 192 pounds in his Hall
of Fame bio. The game eventually catches up to everybody.
What you tried to do was to limit some of those head-on crushing blows. My running style and my size was not conducive to
taking many head-on shots.
Dennison says Broncos are in no rush for
Manning decision
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. New offensive coordinator Rick Dennison says the Denver Broncos are
in no rush to get an answer from Peyton Manning
about his plans for 2015.
Manning is mulling his future following a
late-season slide and thigh injury that culminated
with a poor performance in the playoffs.
After saying on Christmas Eve that he intended to return in 2015, Manning backtracked after
Denvers 24-13 loss to Indianapolis in the playoffs last month,
saying he had to think things over. General manager John
Elway asked him not to make a rash decision.
Manning is expected to meet with Elway, team president and
CEO Joe Ellis and new coach Gary Kubiak before the Broncos
contingent heads to the NFL scouting combine next week.
Manning, who is due $19 million next season, has to have a
checkup on his surgically-repaired neck at least 10 days before
the start of the new league year, which is March 10.
Manning said in Phoenix last month after accepting the
Bart Starr award that he expects to pass his physical.
Meanwhile, those close to him, including former coach
Tony Dungy, have said they expect Manning to return for an
18th season in the NFL and a fourth in Denver.
Manning, who turns 39 next month, has begun working out
with a personal trainer in New Orleans to ascertain his health
and fitness should he decide to keep playing.
Seahawks Richard Sherman wont have surgery on
elbow
RENTON, Wash. Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard
Sherman will not have surgery on his injured left elbow and
will let the ligament damage heal on its own.
Sherman confirmed the decision in a text message to
The Associated Press on Tuesday. Fox Sports first reported
Shermans decision.

There was no drama in this one,

however, as Mercer connected on another trey to open the final period, and
Mackenzie Riggenbach added one of her
own, as the Knights pulled away to the
easy victory.

Lindsey Motycka was the only other
to reach double figures. Bauer finished

The closest the Musketeers

could get in the finale was 13
and the biggest lead was 23
late as the benches emptied.
Fort Jennings connected
on 12-of-41 from the field
(2-of-13 long range) for 29.3
percent and 8-of-15 at the line
(53.3%); and 15 fouls.
We forced some turnovers but couldnt hit shots.
Thats one of the areas that we
have struggled with all year;
we cant convert easy shots
and layups, Fort Jennings
coach Rhonda Liebrecht said.
The second is rebounding.
We stress it and talk to the
girls all the time; we did after
the game tonight and will at
practice tomorrow. We have
to get better there, as well
as not giving up penetration
like tonight. Were trying to
change some things; they
werent necessarily wrong
before but its a matter of
intensity especially defensively and not settling for
ordinary effort.
In sum, Lincolnview
downed 21-of-45 from the
floor (1-of-5 downtown) for
46.7 percent and 12-of-14
singles (85.7%); and 13 fouls.
Our defense finally woke
up in the third period. We
know were much better in the
open floor, especially Hannah
and Julia, who are excellent in
transition, Lancer head man
Dan Williamson explained.
We were pesky enough and
kept going at them. We struggled early with turnovers; our
goal was to get the ball to the
high post because they had
extended their defense out on
the floor and be patient. Our
rebounding is key because
when we dont rebound, we
dont do well; these girls are
phenomenal there because we
simply dont have much size,
with our tallest girl at 5-9.
In junior varsity activity,
Lincolnviews Olivia Gorman
scored 11, including two free
throws with 13 ticks on the
board, to allow a 34-33 survival.
Kayla Schimmoeller also
added 11 for the victors.
Wehri
Vanessa Wallenhorst tallied 13 for the Musketeers.

I knew right away when I made my first visit and it has

been affirmed every other time; I knew it was right for me,
Sam explained. The girls on the team, the coaches they
reminded me of some of my old coaches as far as their passion
for the game and making it fun the campus, everything
about it plus the distance was right.
I actually made this decision in December but had to wait
to sign my letter. They contacted me through the NCSA, a
national recruiting web site, and I was sold my first visit.
True to her word, the closest schools she had some interest in from the beginning were Indiana Tech (Fort Wayne),
Heidelberg and Mount Aloysius in Pennsylvania. She even
received an e-mail from Bluffton University but no dice.
Another factor was the scholarship aid Division II colleges and universities are allowed to grant athletic scholarships
that went a long way in the decision. She has to go back
March 21 for an academic competition in hopes of making it
even sweeter.
The third factor was an open position for the former Lady
Blue Jay goalkeeper, who was moved to that spot midway
through her sophomore campaign after starting high school as
a center forward.
She earned All-District Second Team as a sophomore,
First Team as a junior and All-District Second Team and AllWestern Ohio Soccer Conference as a senior, when she served
as team captain.
She also set the single-match saves record with 36.
The one they had last year, Ashley Winkelspecht, graduated, so the spot is open. They are bringing in another keeper
to compete and well have to wait and see who gets it, she
continued. I will be in the running unless they think I can
help the team more as a striker; whatever they need, I will do.
Since I already committed in December, they have sent me
their off-season workout program. I didnt play basketball this
season and wont be in track, so I can focus on club soccer.
She is currently playing with the Ohio Extreme Soccer Club
after her junior year with the Lima Arsenal.
Ashley already has told me shed work with me. All the
players on the team told me to get ready to play the game at a
level Ive never had to before, she added. They told me the
college game is nothing Ive ever seen before, so I have a lot
of work to do between now and the start of the season to get
ready.
Jays
We were eying two matches:
Alex Haunhorst vs. Peyton Hamrick
of Parkway at 170. Peyton has been
ranked pretty high all year and Alex
wrestled all the way through. He
had a chance to get back points in
the first period but unfortunately
didnt get them and lost in overtime. The second was Justin Siefker
vs. Cole Bellows of Spencerville.
Justin beat him in last years sectional finals but lost today. Both
of those guys have high hopes for
getting to District and beyond and
these are the matches they need.
They need to learn how to finish
moves and get points; you cannot
leave points on the mat.
In the first match, the Bearcats
downed the Panthers 42-12.

We had a pretty good showing at
NWC last weekend with only eight
wrestlers (4th). We had a fun weekend
and this was a chance to bounce back
quickly, Bearcat coach Zac Clum
explained. We only had one day of
practice Monday and that was more
for conditioning. We have almost three
weeks until sectionals at LCC (Feb.
27). We need to fine-tune all the little
things we have been preaching to the
kids from day one; they are starting to
see they help in matches. Two, wrestling season is a grind and our kids
are beat up; were going to try and
let them rest and rehab some nagging
injuries so we can be fresh for the tournament. That is what we always really
shoot for in our program: late February
and March.
Parkway coach Kevin Browning

whose team is also off until
sectionals was pleased with his
young and numbers-crunched unit.
This is our third season and
from where we started then to now,
weve made great progress. Where
we started from last year and the
start of this year until now is tremendous, Browning added. We
arent getting pinned in 12 seconds,
for example. We are slowly building
here. I have nine wrestlers in high
school seven healthy with
no seniors; nine in junior high (the
2nd year) and 15 for our first-year
Bitty program. Things are looking
bright for the future. Hopefully,
next year, we can make the Midwest
Athletic Conference tri (St. Johns,
Coldwater and Versailles) a quad
but not right now.

Before that MAC tri at Coldwater
Feb. 20, the Jays picked up a home
tri Feb. 18 versus Jefferson and
Bluffton.

Eavesdropping concerns
in Samsung smart TVs
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Watch
what you say in your living room.
Samsungs smart TV could be listening.
And sharing.
At least thats what youd conclude
in reading Samsungs privacy policy for
smart TVs. Voice recognition technology in Samsungs Internet-connected
TVs captures and transmits nearby conversations. The policy warns, Please be
aware that if your spoken words include
personal or other sensitive information,
that information will be among the data
captured and transmitted to a third party
through your use of Voice Recognition.
In a blog post Tuesday, Samsung said
it is removing that sentence and clarifying the policy to better explain what
actually occurs.
For the voice command feature to
work, the TV listens for predefined
commands such as changing the channel
or the volume. That speech isnt stored
Newsweek
Twitter feed
briefly hacked
NEW YORK (AP) The
Newsweek Twitter feed was
briefly hacked Tuesday morning, purportedly by a group associated with the Islamic State.
Several posts to Newsweeks
Twitter feed referenced Cyber
Caliphate, a hacker group affiliated with the Islamic State,
which claimed responsibility for
the hacking. The posts, which
began shortly before 11 a.m.
Eastern, included a message targeting President Barack Obama,
the first lady and their daughters.
The posts also showed pictures of apparent Pentagonrelated documents. The posts
were erased about 10 minutes
later.
Newsweek
owner
International Business Times
confirms that the account
was hacked and says it has
regained control.
We apologize to our readers for anything offensive that
might have been sent from our
account during that period, and
are working to strengthen our
newsroom security measures
going forward, IBT Media
said in an emailed statement.
Newsweek did not say how
the account was accessed.
Grant Burningham, front page
editor of Newsweek, said that
the attack was a pretty garden-variety attack but did not
elaborate.
or transmitted, according to Samsung.

But the remote control also has a microphone that can not only respond to
those commands but also search for
content, such as requests to recommend
a good movie. The speech is translated
by third-party software into text and sent
back to the TV as a command.
Although Samsung initially declined
to name the software company,
the blog post identifies it as Nuance
Communications Inc. The TV also
transmits other information including
its unique identifier, both to provide the
service and to improve the feature.
Samsung said voice recognition on
the remote must be activated by pressing a button. Its similar to how Siri
and Google Now voice assistants work
on smartphones. If the feature isnt
activated, theres no threat of eavesdropping, Samsung said. Users will see
microphone icon on the screen when it
is on. Users can disable the feature, but

voice control would then be limited to
predefined commands.
The South Korean company said it
takes consumer privacy very seriously.
We employ industry-standard security safeguards and practices, including
data encryption, to secure consumers
personal information and prevent unauthorized collection or use.
It is not the first time that smart
TVs sparked privacy concerns. In 2013,
the owner of a LG Electronics smart
TV revealed it was sending information
about his viewing habits back to the
company without consent and without
encrypting data.
LG has also experimented with displaying targeted ads on its smart TVs,
which requires collecting and utilizing
user data, such as their location, age and
gender.
Family of barefoot marathoner

sues company over use of name
SEATTLE (AP) The family of an
Ethiopian runner who famously won
an Olympic marathon barefoot is suing
Vibram, the maker of a popular line of
minimalist running shoes, saying it used his
name without permission.
Abebe Bikila, who died in 1973, was a
last-minute entrant in the 1960 Olympics
in Rome and didnt like the fit of the shoes
hed been provided. Running barefoot over
the cobbled streets, he shattered the existing
Olympic record, finishing in just over two
hours, 15 minutes.
Vibram named some models of its Five
Fingers foot-glove style running shoes
after him, and even trademarked the name
Bikila in 2010 as barefoot or nearly barefoot running became more popular in the
United States.
But in a lawsuit filed Monday in federal
court in Tacoma, Bikilas son, Teferi Bikila,
of Tigard, Oregon, said the company didnt
have permission to do so.
He won the Rome marathon with bare
feet, and nobody did it before then or since
then, Bikila, 45, said in a phone interview
Tuesday. Its important that his legacy be
respected.
The family is seeking at least $15 million in damages, said their attorney, Alex
Trauman.
A Boston law firm that has previously
represented Vibram said Tuesday it was not
authorized to comment on the lawsuit, and
Vibram President Michael V. Gionfriddo
did not immediately return a voice mail
message left at the companys headquarters
in Concord, Massachusetts.
Bikilas victory in Rome is legendary
among running fans. He was a last-minute
addition to the Ethiopian team when another runner fell ill. The running shoes he was
issued caused blisters, and he decided to run
barefoot the way he had trained along
a course that passed the Obelisk of Axum,
a granite monument the Italian fascists
plundered from Ethiopia in 1937 after they
conquered the country.
He won the gold, beating what was then
the Olympic record by about eight minutes.
Bikila also went on to win the 1964
Olympic marathon in Tokyo just 40 days
after having his appendix out. He wore
shoes for that race.
In 1969, a car crash left him paralyzed,
and he died of complications a few years
later.
The complaint alleges violations of federal law as well as Washingtons Personality
Rights Act, which is considered one of the
most progressive such laws in the nation
because it specifies that the heirs of a
deceased person can continue to assert personality rights.
Michael Atkins, a Seattle trademark
lawyer who is not involved in the lawsuit,
said it appears that the family has a solid
claim.
The personal rights statute says every
person has a right to control their own
name, Atkins said. Whether youre a
celebrity or an ordinary Joe, no one can use
your name to promote their product without
your permission.
Long tarmac delays fell to lowest level in 2014

Associated Press
There were no super-long tarmac delays

for airlines in December, making 2014 the
best year on record for the fewest such
incidents.
The U.S. Department of Transportation
said Tuesday that for all of 2014, there were
30 domestic flights with ground delays
topping three hours. Under rules that took
effect in 2010, airlines can be fined for such
long delays.
The department said that in the year
before the rules were put into place, there

were 868 domestic flights stuck on the
ground for more than three hours.
These tarmac delay rules are meant
to protect passengers, and it appears that
the airlines have gotten the message, said
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
Also, cancelations fell and on-time ratings improved in December compared with
the previous year, when an early winter
storm snarled traffic in the southern plains
states.
Overall, 75.3 percent of flights
WEBB
within the U.S. arrived on-time in

December, down from 80.6 percent in
November but up from 68.9 percent in
December 2013. A flight is considered
on-time if it arrives within 14 minutes
of schedule.
Delta Air Lines topped the ratings,
with an 88.9 percent on-time rating. The
worst rating, 63.1 percent, was turned in by
Envoy Air, which operates many American
Eagle flights for American Airlines.
Canceled flights fell to 1.4 percent from
2.9 percent in December 2013.
Husbands credit
cards can become
wifes responsibility
DEAR BRUCE: I have
two credit cards with high balances on them. They are both
in my name only. If I die, will
my wife be responsible for
those balances? -- J.K.
DEAR J.K.: If it can be
demonstrated that your wife
has never charged anything
on those accounts and in no
way has she benefited from
any charges made on those
accounts, its entirely possible
that she will not be held responsible. On the other hand,
if she borrows the card and
uses it, bingo, you are stuck!
Because of the high balances, there is no way you can
just close out the accounts.
You might advise your wife to
take the position, should you
pass away, that at no time has
she benefited from the items
that were charged and she has
not made any charges on the
accounts. This likely would
be challenged, but she would
probably prevail.
DEAR BRUCE: I bought
airline tickets for a flight with
Wi-Fi. I am a traveling professional and I need Wi-Fi during
flight for my work.
I boarded the plane and the
attendant announced the WiFi was not available on the
flight. I asked for a partial refund as I missed deadlines and
appointments on my arrival.
The airline gave me a partial
refund and later changed its
mind. I lost work.
As another traveling professional, what would you
do if you missed newspaper
deadlines and ground appointments? -- Jim
DEAR JIM: Unfortunately, I dont think there is anything you can do legally to
hold the airline responsible.
Take a look at the long list of
things you agreed to when you
purchased the ticket. I think
you will find that the airline
covered its skirts very clearly. Why it agreed to a partial
refund and then changed its
mind is another story.
There are some things you
could have done, including
renting a telephone on the flight
to cancel appointments or make
other arrangements. On balance,
even though you were promised
Wi-Fi on the flight, which is a
freebie, the airline has a right
to cancel for whatever reason,
such as technical problems.
DEAR BRUCE: Is it an
understood rule that the executor gets a certain percentage
from the estate? My lawyer
told me I am entitled to this. I
live in Georgia and my mothers estate is being handled
by me through an attorney in
New York. -- B.S.
DEAR B.S.: Its not quite
as clear as your attorney
seems to imply. Often a will
1-800-727-1113
212 W. High - Lima, 419-228-3211

138 N. Main - Bluffton, 419-358-4015
states that so-and-so is appointed executor to serve

without bond or fees. If the
fees arent mentioned, its
possible that the surrogates
court will approve a fee of 1
percent to 5 percent, depending upon the gross amount
and other variables.
Please dont assume that
youre automatically entitled.
If the original will states the
executor will serve without
bond or fees, youre out of
business.
DEAR BRUCE: My husband has Alzheimers and has
been accepted for Medicaid
waivers, which involves a
cost share. I understand that I
can remain in the home after
his death (should he predecease me). Upon my death,
Medicaid will recover the
proceeds paid in, upon the
sale of the home. If I decide to
sell the house upon his death
and move to a smaller place
before my death, how does
Medicaid work regarding recovery from the proceeds of
the sale? -- S.R.
DEAR S.R.: As you should
know, Medicaid is a program
operated by each individual
state. How each state handles
its matters will have a good
deal of effect upon how much,
if any, the state will attempt to
recover.
The fact is, when you sell
the house, you would have
to notify Medicaid, and in
turn it would decide whether
or not its going to act upon
any profits made before you
can have the money at your
disposal. In the event that
you have collected money on
your husbands behalf, there
is no way that you can duck
repaying that when the house
is converted, should the state
decide to pursue the matter.
DEAR BRUCE: Both my
husband and I have been previously married. We want to
know how to find out if our
exes are drawing on our Social Security. We have heard
they can do this. -- G.R.
DEAR G.R.: Its very likely, if you were married to your
respective former spouses for
more than 10 years and they
find it to their advantage to collect under your Social Security
accounts, that they have every
right to do so. I dont know if
there is any way you have a
right to be told whether they are
collecting or not, but I doubt it.

our relationship became rocky

-- almost toxic. Frank is an alcoholic, verbally abusive and
a manipulator. (I admit Im no
angel, either.)
Eight months ago, I had an
affair with a former boyfriend
I dated before I was married,
and we got caught. Frank
planted a tape recorder in my
car, hacked my phone and
read my texts on his phone.
He threw me out of the house,
my belongings placed in black

My
boyfriend has divorced
his wife, moved here and has
made a life and a future for us.
He has sacrificed a lot for me,
and I feel bad that Im thinking about going back to Frank.
I miss my home and family.
Frank begs me to return
every day. He claims he has
stopped drinking and changed
his ways. He wants us to go to
counseling and promises to be
a better husband if I give him
another chance.
Im scared, but a little piece
of me wants to see if its true.
I have heard stories about how
men cant change, that it will
Soon, college kids across

the country will take a break
from binge-drinking and
having random, casual sex
on campus to go binge-drink
and have random, casual sex
in popular Spring Break spots
like Cancun and Panama
City. They need a break from
the pressures of getting up at
noon, skipping classes and
hooking up.
Now, of course, Im not
talking about all college students. Because it would be
wrong to stereotype a whole
class of people based on the
behavior of just a few million
of them.
Still, every time I hear one
of my friends say he doesnt
think hell be able to save
enough for Junior and Missys college tuition, I wonder
why they are bothering. How
much are Junior and Missy
saving for their college tuition? If theyre not saving,
why is Dad? How hard is Junior trying to get a full-ride
scholarship if Daddys paying for everything? How hard
is Missy studying for those
SATs?
Its natural; they want the
kids to have all the advantages they didnt have. Like
the advantage of spending
$50,000 a year to take courses like How to Talk Like a
Pirate, Will Ferrell: An Appreciation or Pop Culture
From Madonna to Now. Or
even worse, political science.
Calling politics a science is
like calling competitive hot
dog eating a sport.
Really, really rich kids
can take courses like that because theyre going to end up
working for Daddy anyway.
DEAR IN PAIN: If a
little piece of you wants to
reunite with your husband,
then level with your lover.
Your marriage may or may
not be able to be repaired.
However, if youre willing
to try, understand it will take
hard work on the part of both
you and Frank, AND the help
of a marriage counselor -- IF
Frank can maintain his sobriety.
You say you are worried
you will lose your freedom if
you go back. It is important
you recognize that trust takes
a long time to be rebuilt, that
the attempt at reconciliation
is a gamble, and whether your
marriage can survive the mess
the two of you have made of
it isnt assured.
DEAR ABBY: When my
boyfriend takes me out to dinner, he always expects sex afterward. I am OK with it because hes a nice guy. But he
never says thank you when
were done.
Other than his manners,
hes great and Im happy
were together. Am I be-
spot. How should I approach

this without jeopardizing everything else? -- HESITANT
TO SPEAK UP
DEAR HESITANT: Sex
is not supposed to be payment because someone picks
up a dinner check. If thats
what is happening with you
and your boyfriend, it is being
approached with the wrong
attitude.
A person is not expected
to thank a partner for having
sex, unless the sex was unusually spectacular. Because
you feel otherwise, tell your
boyfriend what your needs
are -- and if he agrees to thank
you, return the compliment
by thanking HIM.

Your kid, probably not so

If Junior had to pay the

and taking every app- and
game-design course he could

during her junior year to join
a high-tech startup that just

some Silicon Valley venture

Exercise to be Heart Healthy!

Walking, swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, aerobic dancing or any
of dozens of other activities can help
your heart. They all cause you to feel
warm, perspire and breathe heavily without being out of breath and
without feeling any burning sensation
in your muscles.
Here are some tips for exercise
success:
Dress for success!
Wear comfortable, properly fitted

sneakers or flat shoes with laces.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting cloth-
ing appropriate for the weather and the

activity.
High blood pressure and

high cholesterol can damage your heart and blood
vessels. Without testing for
them, you probably wont
know whether you have
these conditions. Regular
screenings can tell what
your numbers are and
whether you need to take
action.
2. Eat a hearthealthy diet
Eat a diet that is rich in

fruits, vegetables, whole
grains and low-fat dairy
products, which can help
protect your heart. Beans,
other low-fat sources of
protein and certain types
of fish also can reduce
enjoy. That way, exercise will never seem

boring or routine.
Start slowly. Gradually build up to at

least 30 minutes of activity on most or
all days of the week (or whatever your
doctor recommends).
If you have a high risk of coronary

heart disease or some other chronic
health problem, check with your healthcare provider before beginning a physical
activity program.
Ask family and friends to join you

you may be be more likely to stick with
it if you have company. Joining a local
health club or program is a great way to
keep healthy!
Exercise at the same time of day so it

becomes a regular part of your lifestyle.
Look for chances to be more active

during the day. (Take the stairs, etc.)
Find a convenient time and place

to do activities. Try to make it a habit,
but be flexible. If you miss an exercise
opportunity, work activity into your day
another way.
Dont get discouraged if you stop for

a while. Get started again gradually and
work up to your old pace.
Use variety to keep your interest up.

Walk one day, swim the next, then go for
a bike ride on the weekend.
Make the time!
Preventing Heart Disease

1. Get regular
health screenings
Keep reasonable expectations

of yourself.
your risk of heart disease.

Limiting certain fats you
eat also is important. Following a heart-healthy diet
also means drinking alcohol only in moderation.
3. Exercise for 30
minutes on most
days of the week
Getting some regular, daily

exercise can reduce your
risk of fatal heart disease.
And when you combine
physical activity with other
lifestyle measures, such
as maintaining a healthy
weight, the payoff is even
greater.
4. Maintain a
healthy weight
As you put on weight in

adulthood, your weight
gain is mostly fat rather

than muscle. This excess
weight can lead to conditions that increase your
chances of heart disease
high blood pressure, high
cholesterol and diabetes.
Dont exercise too vigorously right

after meals, when its very hot or humid,
or when you just dont feel up to it.
Make it fun!
Choose activities that are fun, not

exhausting. Add variety. Develop a repertoire of several activities that you can
Use music or audio books to keep

you entertained.
Track and celebrate your

success!
Keep a record of your activities. Reward yourself at special milestones with
non-food items, like a small gift or shopping trip for yourself. Nothing motivates
like success!
5. Dont smoke or
use tobacco
Smoking or using tobacco

is one of the most significant risk factors for developing heart disease. The
good news, though, is that
when you quit smoking,
your risk of heart disease
drops dramatically within
just one year. And no matter how long or how much
you smoked, youll start
reaping rewards as soon as
you quit.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention is a minimally invasive
surgical procedure that uses a catheter to insert a small
mesh tube called a stent to open up blood vessels in
the heart with blockages caused by plaque buildup, a
condition known as atherosclerosis. Using fluoroscopic
X-ray imaging as a guide, the catheter is usually inserted
into the blood vessel either in the groin or in the arm, then
threaded through the blood vessels into the area of the
heart where the coronary artery is blocked or narrowed.
When the tip is in place, a balloon at the tip covered
with the stent is inflated. The balloon simultaneously
compresses the plaque and expands the stent. Once the
plaque has been compressed and the stent is in place, the
balloon is deflated and withdrawn, while the stent stays in
the artery, holding it open to allow blood to flow freely.
A heart attack stopped Mark.

We got him running again.
After a nine-mile run with the cross-country team, Coach Mark
suffered a massive heart attack. He was airlifted to Lima Memorial,
where cardiologists found several coronary arteries dangerously
blocked. Using minimally invasive surgery, surgeons installed stents
to force the blocked arteries open. After his life-saving surgery,
Mark knew he faced a long road ahead preparing for his next
marathon. With Lima Memorials heart and vascular team in his
corner, Mark takes it all in stride.

Risk Factors for Developing Heart Disease

Age. Aging increases
your risk of damaged and
narrowed arteries and
weakened or thickened
heart muscle.
Sex. Men are generally
at greater risk of heart disease. However, womens
risk increases after menopause.
Family history. A family
history of heart disease
increases your risk of
coronary artery disease,

especially if a parent developed it at an early age .
Smoking. Nicotine
constricts your blood vessels, and carbon monoxide can damage their inner
lining, making them more
susceptible to atherosclerosis. Heart attacks are
more common in smokers
than in nonsmokers.
Poor diet. A diet thats
high in fat, salt, sugar and

cholesterol can contribute
to the development of
heart disease.
High blood pressure.
Uncontrolled high blood
pressure can result in
hardening and thickening
of your arteries, narrowing
the vessels through which
blood flows.
High blood cholesterol levels. High levels of
cholesterol in your blood

can increase the risk of
formation of plaques and
atherosclerosis.
Diabetes. Diabetes
increases your risk of heart
disease. Both conditions
share similar risk factors,
such as obesity and high
blood pressure.
Obesity. Excess weight
typically worsens other risk
Poor hygiene. Not

regularly washing your
hands and not establishing
other habits that can help
prevent viral or bacterial
infections can put you at
risk of heart infections,
especially if you already
have an underlying heart
condition. Poor dental
health also may contribute
to heart disease.

Warning Signs of a Heart Attack

Some heart attacks are sudden and intense
the movie heart attack, where no one
doubts whats happening. But most heart
attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected arent sure whats
wrong and wait too long before getting help.
Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is
happening:
Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of
the chest that lasts more than a
few minutes, or that goes away
and comes back. It can feel
like uncomfortable pressure,
squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas
of the upper body. Symptoms
can include pain or discomfort
in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or
stomach.
Shortness of breath with or without
chest discomfort.
Other signs may include breaking out in a
cold sweat, nausea or light headedness.
As with men, womens most common heart
factors.
Physical inactivity.
Lack of exercise also is associated with many forms
of heart disease and some
of its other risk factors, as
well.
Stress. Unrelieved
stress may damage your
arteries and worsen other
risk factors for heart disease.
attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely
than men to experience some of the other
common symptoms, particularly shortness
of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw

Even if youre not sure its a heart attack,
have it checked out (tell a doctor about your
symptoms). Minutes matter! Fast action can
save lives maybe your
own. Dont wait more
than five minutes to call
9-1-1 or your emergency response number.
Calling 9-1-1 is almost
always the fastest
way to get lifesaving
treatment. Emergency medical services (EMS) staff can begin
treatment when they arrive up to an hour
sooner than if someone gets to the hospital
by car. EMS staff are also trained to revive
someone whose heart has stopped. It is best
to call EMS for rapid transport to the emergency room.

Arizona town
mourns for
woman held by IS
Fed report: Time to examine

purposely cooling planet idea
PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP)

The small Arizona town
where Kayla Jean Mueller
grew up gathered in grief
Tuesday upon learning that
the 26-year-old aid worker
who traveled the world on a
quest to help others had died
while in the hands of Islamic
State militants.
A memorial of flowers and
handwritten notes took shape
on the courthouse plaza in
Prescott near a sign calling on
people to pray for her.
In Washington, President
Barack Obama pledged to
bring Muellers captors to
justice no matter how long
it takes.
Mullers 18-month captivity had largely been kept secret
in an effort to save her. The
Islamic State group claimed
Friday that she had died in
a recent Jordanian airstrike
targeting the militants.
On Tuesday, her parents
and U.S. officials confirmed
her death. The Pentagon said
U.S. officials dont know how
or when she died but are certain it was not in the Jordanian
airstrike.
What a fine, fine woman
and a tribute to Prescott,
said 15-year resident Tina
Nemeth. Its just so sad, it
really is, and everyone feels
exactly the same. Its a shock
it hit Prescott. Were not that
big of a town.
WASHINGTON (AP) Its time to

study and maybe even test the idea of cooling the Earth by injecting sulfur pollution
high in the air to reflect the suns heat, a
first-of-its-kind federal science report said
Tuesday.
The idea was once considered fringe
to purposely re-engineer the planets
climate as a last ditch effort to battle global warming with an artificial cloud. No
longer.
In a nuanced, two-volume report, the
National Academy of Sciences said that the
concept should not be acted upon immediately because it is too risky, but it should
be studied and perhaps tested outdoors
in small projects. It could be a relatively
cheap, effective and quick way to cool the
planet by mimicking the natural effects on
climate of large volcanic eruptions, but
scientists concede there could be dramatic
and dangerous side effects that they dont
know about.
Because warming has worsened and
some countries might act unilaterally, scientists said research is needed to calculate
the consequences.
Panel chairwoman Marcia McNutt, editor of the journal Science and former
director of the U.S. Geological Survey, said
in an interview that the public should read
this report and say, This is downright
scary. And they should say, If this is our
Hail Mary, what a scary, scary place we
are in.
This is the first time a government-associated science panel talked about the
controlled small scale outdoor tests of the
artificial cloud concept, called solar radiation management or SRM. But even then
panelists downplayed the idea and said it
would require some kind of government or
other oversight before it is done.
Yes, small scale outdoor tests might be
allowed, but it wouldnt just be in the hands
of scientists to decide whats allowable and
whats not allowable, McNutt said. Civil
society needs to engage in these discussions where the line is to be drawn.
Some scientists worry that research
itself it will make this type of planet hacking more likely to occur.
This creates a bit of what we call a
moral hazard, said Waleed Abdalati, a
University of Colorado ice scientist and
former NASA chief scientist who co-authored the report. There will likely come
a time were going to want to know the
ramifications of that kind of action.
Youre talking about potentially changing
weather and climate. You dont want to do
that without as good an understanding as
you can possibly have.
And the committee scientists said once
you start this type of tinkering, it would be
difficult to stop because warming would
come back with such a force. So a decision
to spray particles into the air would have to
continue for more than 1,000 years.
The report was requested by U.S. intelligence agencies, academy president Ralph
J. Ciccerone said. Because the world is
not reducing the emissions of greenhouse
gases that cause global warming, scientists
have been forced to at least consider what
is known as geoengineering, he said.
20,000 foreign fighters flock to Syria, Iraq

WASHINGTON (AP) Foreign fighters are streaming
into Syria and Iraq in unprecedented numbers to join the
Islamic State or other extremist groups, including at least
3,400 from Western nations among 20,000 from around the
world, U.S. intelligence officials say in an updated estimate
of a top terrorism concern.
Intelligence agencies now believe that as many as 150
Americans have tried and some have succeeded in reaching
in the Syrian war zone, officials told the House Homeland
Security Committee in testimony prepared for delivery today.
Some of those Americans were arrested en route, some died in
the area and a small number are still fighting with extremists.
The testimony and other data were obtained Tuesday by
The Associated Press.
Nick Rasmussen, chief of the National Counterterrorism
Center, said the rate of foreign fighter travel to Syria is without precedent, far exceeding the rate of foreigners who went to
wage jihad in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen or Somalia
at any other point in the past 20 years.
U.S. officials fear that some of the foreign fighters will
return undetected to their homes in Europe or the U.S. to
mount terrorist attacks. At least one of the men responsible for
the attack on a satirical magazine in Paris had spent time with
Islamic extremists in Yemen.
Meanwhile, the White House circulated a proposal Tuesday
that would have Congress authorize the U.S. military to fight
Islamic State terrorists over the next three years. A formal
request for legislation is expected today.
Also at the White House, President Barack Obama praised
Kayla Jean Mueller, the young American whose death was
confirmed Tuesday. Mueller died while in Islamic State hands,
though the group blamed a Jordanian airstrike, and Obama
said, No matter how long it takes, the United States will
find and bring to justice the terrorists who are responsible for
Kaylas captivity and death.
As for foreign fighters, officials acknowledge it has been
hard to track the Americans and Europeans who have made
it to Syria, where the Islamic State group is the dominant
force trying to overthrow the government of President Bashar
Assad. The U.S. Embassy in Syria is closed, and the CIA has

no permanent presence on the ground.

Once in Syria, it is very difficult to discern what happens
there, according to todays prepared testimony of Michael
Steinbach, the FBIs assistant director for counterterrorism.
This lack of clarity remains troubling.
The estimate of 20,000 fighters, from 90 countries, is
up from 19,000, Rasmussen will tell the House committee,
according to prepared testimony. The number of Americans or
U.S. residents who have gone or tried to go is up to 150 from
50 a year ago and 100 in the fall.
Rep. Michael McCaul, the Texas Republican who chairs
the committee, said in his prepared remarks that the Syrian
war had created the largest convergence of Islamist terrorists
in world history. Sustained bombing by a U.S.-led coalition
has not stopped the inflow, he noted.
McCauls committee staff compiled from public sources a
list of 18 U.S. citizens or residents who joined or attempted to
join the Islamic State group, and 18 others who tried to or succeeded in joining other violent Islamic groups. The list includes
three Chicago teens and three Denver teens who were radicalized and recruited online and were arrested after attempting to
travel to Syria to join Islamic State fighters. It also includes
Douglas McAuthur McCain, 33, a Californian who died in
August while fighting with the Islamic State group near Aleppo.
U.S. intelligence officials do not make public their estimate
of how many Americans currently are fighting in Syria and
Iraq. In September, FBI director James Comey said it was
about a dozen.
Francis X. Taylor, who heads the Homeland Security
Departments intelligence office, said in his prepared testimony for the hearing that we are unaware of any specific,
credible, imminent threat to the homeland.
However, he said, the department is concerned that
Americans who join violent extremist groups in Syria could
gain combat skills, violent extremist connections and possibly
become persuaded to conduct organized or lone-wolf style
attacks that target U.S. and Western interests. We also have
become increasingly aware of the possibility that Syria could
emerge as a base of operations for al-Qaidas international
agenda, which could include attacks against the homeland.

Dead infants mom says 11-yearold suspect wanted sleepover

CLEVELAND (AP) The mother of a 2-month-old who
police suspect was beaten to death over the weekend by a
friends 11-year-old daughter said Tuesday it was the girl who
asked that the baby stay overnight with her and her mother.
Trina Whitehead, 31, of Cleveland, told The Associated
Press that she and the girls mother were best friends and that
she never saw anything in the girls behavior that concerned
her. Whitehead said her two daughters, who are 8 and 7 years
old, previously stayed the night at the friends home in suburban Wickliffe without any reported problems.
She said the 11-year-old seemed like a normal, sweet girl.
I definitely trusted her, Whitehead said. I never thought
my baby would be put in some type of harm.
The 11-year-old has been charged with murder and is being held
in a juvenile detention center. A judge entered a not guilty plea for
the girl on Monday and has ordered a psychiatric evaluation.
The Associated Press is not naming the 11-year-old girl or
her mother because of her age.
Wickliffe police say the girl awakened her mother at
about 3:30 a.m. Friday holding the unconscious infant, Zuri
Whitehead. The 2-month-old died during surgery about six
hours later. The medical examiner has not released a cause of
death, but police have said Zuri received extensive head and
internal injuries.
Committee
Gillespie noted that the

chiefs bottom line was still
more than $160,000 less than
his 2013 actual figure and
more than $4,000 less than
2014. The Police Budget was
presented at $1,080,233.83.
The Water Budget came
in on target at $1,497,369
and just under $200,000 less
than 2014. Superintendent
Todd Haunhorst had several
items that came in higher for
2015, including $25,000 for
well inspections and repairs;
$19,041 for a used vehicle to
replace a 1993 truck and confined space/fall prevention
equipment; and $45,000 for
the south tower inspection,
sludge cleaning and a parttime meter reader.
The Fire and Rescue Budget
came in at Jettinghoffs target
of $711,720 and approximately $20,000 more than the 2014
budget. Chief Kevin Streets
said the increase was due to
repairs needed to the safety
service building and turn out
gear that needs to be replaced.
Streets also presented a
plan to add part-time employees to handle the increased
EMS call load, reducing
overtime worked by full-time
employees.
Our manning at both fulltime and EMS paid per call
employees has diminished
and our call volume has gone
up 17 percent, Streets said.
Current monthly run totals
are at approximately 138
Budget
with 105 being EMS. Thats

three runs a day. We know
the current budget strains do
not allow the city to bring the
fire department back to full
staff so adding the part-time
employees, with the unions
blessing, we have come up
with a solution.
Streets listed the key factors of the proposal:
Faster service to the community customer (life safety);
Controlled overtime;
Reduction of mutual aid
runs keeping more money in
the city;
Return of township
money lost due to the current
staffing levels; and
ISO rating remains the
same or better.
The committee also
seemed excited about this
proposition.
The Parks and Rec Budget
came in at $400,000 with few
surprises except for the purchase of new truck at $23,000
to replace a 1991 model in
use now.
I am pleased we are doing
this, Clement said. Im glad
you were able to work this
out and I think it will benefit
everyone.
The Maintenance Budget
came in at $315,726, more
than $30,000 less than 2014.
The General Fund total
came in at $2,918,300 a lower
number than 2014 and 2013.
Council will hear the ordinance to approve the 2015
Permanent Budget on first
reading on Monday.
Peters has taken a position as the treasurer of Vantage

Career Center.

The following supplemental coaching contracts were
approved:
Sherrie Stewart as head volleyball coach;
Brent Binkley and Todd Teman as head boys track coaches
