Groups spend millions on union law
By ANN SANNER The Associated Press COLUMBUS The union-backed group pushing for the repeal of Ohios new collective bargaining law has spent more than $17.3 million in the fight and has another $4.3 million on hand heading into the Nov. 8 election, according to campaign finance reports filed Thursday. We Are Ohio has raised a whopping $19 million from July to mid-October, and received another $4.6 million in donated services. Fundraising in the ballot battle is approaching what was spent in last years hard-fought governors race, in which Republican John Kasich won office. Insiders say the campaign over the union law could cost more than the $33 million spent in the gubernatorial contest. In total, We Are Ohio has raised about $24 million. The coalition wants to overturn the contentious law that bans public worker strikes and restricts the collective bargaining rights of more than 350,000 public employees, including teachers, firefighters and police officers. Under the law signed by Kasich in late March, public employee unions could negotiate on wages, but not on their pension or health care benefits. A group that wants the law to remain in place reported far less cash. The Republican-backed Building a Better Ohio coalition raised $7.6 million for the period and spent almost $6 million through its political action committee, according to its forms. The coalition is not required to say who contributes to it because of its status as a nonprofit corporation, whereas We Are Ohio is a political action committee that by state law had to publicly disclose on Thursday its spending, donors and their contributions. The group defending the Delphos, Ohio law doesnt have to report as many details. However, it is required to disclose the amount it transfers to its political committee and what that committee spends. Building a Better Ohio on Thursday also voluntarily provided its donor list, but did not say how much was given by each contributor. The list didnt include other identifying information, such as address and occupation, required of We Are Ohio. Opponents of the law criticized the group for not revealing more information about its donors. Now is the time for Issue 2 supporters to come clean about who and how much they are really paying for their attack on middle class families, said Melissa Fazekas, a spokeswoman for We Are Ohio. The question over whether to keep the law appears as Issue 2 on fall ballots. A yes vote is to keep the law, while a no vote is to repeal it. The referendum has spurred involvement from governors associations representing each political party. Among those in the defenders list was Make Ohio Great, an arm of the Republican Governors Association thats made two TV spots with Kasich promoting the positive effects of his agenda on the state. One ad makes a passing reference to a provision in the union law. On Wednesday, the Democratic Governors Association gave $150,000 to We Are Ohio. Other donors to Building a Better Ohio include the groups allies in the business community. Those advocating that the collective bargaining restrictions remain in place include the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, the Greater Cleveland Partnership and Associated Building & Contractors, a coalition of nonunion construction interests.

City renewal levy crucial to safety services

BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Local voters will decide to keep or eliminate a property tax levy for the citys general revenue when they go to the ballot Nov. 8. If a property is valued at $75,000, the tax is about $98 per year. It means a lot to the city and its ability to provide essential services, such as police, fire and emergency medical services. This is a 4.05-mill, 5-year renewal that will generate $208,000 per year, according to the county auditors estimate, City Auditor Tom Jettinghoff said. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist stresses there will be no additional tax with the local measure. This is not a new levy; this a renewal and no one will see anything different in terms of their taxes. It supplements the General Fund, which pays for police, fire and parks but mostly police and fire. Police being the largest budget taken out of the General Fund, Berquist said. Unfortunately, the state is pressing municipalities into footing more of its own bill by slashing funding from Columbus. Police, fire and EMS would be greatly impacted if funding doesnt continue. Were going to provide

This is not a new levy; this a renewal and no one will see anything different in terms of their taxes.
Greg Berquist, Delphos Safety Service director those services but the reality is those departments would be impacted, especially after the recent events of the state legislature reducing Local Government Funds, Berquist said. So, the importance of this levy renewal has been compounded. We were getting $229,223.14 and it was cut 25 percent this year and they will cut it another 25 percent next year. In addition to benefitting from police, fire and EMS protection, local taxpayers who use the city pool in summer may also be positively impacted if the levy is renewed. Jettinghoff indicated General Fund dollars are used to maintain the pool, which is in need of a major repair project to address a crack in its eastern wall. Jettinghoff said money from the levy could go toward solving the problem at Delphos City Councils discretion.

POLICE Feds tighten belt by REPORT cutting agriculture reports Delphos man arrested on warrant
By CHET BROKAW The Associated Press PIERRE, S.D. When farmers need to check honey prices so they can decide whether to sell, theres been a report for that. And when catfish and sheep farmers want to check production in their industries, thereve been reports for that, too. The U.S. Agriculture Department has kept tabs for decades on a wide range of agricultural industries that generate billions of dollars for the U.S. economy. But thats about to change, as the agency eliminates some reports and reduces the frequency of others to save millions of dollars in tight budget times. The reports influence the price and supply of many products that end up on American dinner plates. Without them, some farmers say theyll be left guessing how much to produce and when to sell. Food processors and traders also will have less information when making decisions about buying and selling. South Dakota farmer Richard Adee said he used the annual honey and bee report to decide when to sell his honey. If the February report indicated a large supply nationwide, hed sell before prices dropped. If the supply was short, hed hold on to the honey and wait for prices to go up. Its really going to limit us to information for making

Its really going to limit us to information for making future plans. Its not good. Its not good were losing that.

Richard Adee, South Dakota honey producer future plans, said Adee, one of the nations largest honey producers. Its not good. Its not good were losing that. Adee Honey Farms, based in Bruce, S.D, provide bees that pollinate crops and produce honey in the Midwest, California and Washington. Adee said he knows something must be done to deal with the federal deficit, but theyre beating up on agriculture. A spokeswoman for the USDA division that produces the reports said it didnt want to cut them but it had to do something to save money. Eliminating or reducing the frequency of 14 crop and livestock reports will save the National Agricultural Statistics Service about $10 million, Sue duPont said. NASSs $156 million budget was cut in the federal fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 and

more reductions are expected this year as Congress and the White House aim to trim federal spending. The agency based its choices on the reports impact on markets and use by other programs that provide assistance to farmers, along with the availability of information from other sources, DuPont said. It was just tough decisions, she said. Roger Barlow, executive vice president of Catfish Farmers of America, said the annual report on his industry tells his organizations 800 members how many millions of tons of catfish are being produced in how many acres of water, how much is being held by processors and what prices are being paid. The information determines prices and guides farmers as they decide to expand or cut back production, he said. Lots of decisions are made upon this, Barlow said. This information is used on a daily basis. Mississippi is the leading catfish producer according to the latest and last report. But the farmers, who are mostly located in the South, hope NASS with reconsider its decision to dump the report. I guess were just scratching a hole in our head trying to figure out how were going to continue with what we feel is extremely important, Barlow said.

Ohio widow not getting custody of wild animals

By KANTELE FRANKO and ANN SANNER The Associated Press COLUMBUS A neighbor said hed rather not have six surviving exotic animals returned to the neighboring Ohio farm where an owner killed himself after releasing dozens of animals that were hunted down by law enforcement officers. Marian Thompson, the widow of the suicidal man, had sought Thursday to bring three leopards, two primates and a young grizzly bear that have been cared for by the Columbus Zoo for about a week back to the farm near Zanesville. But the state Department of Agriculture intervened just as she was about to retrieve them, ordering the animals kept under quarantine at the zoo instead. Sam Kopchaks property abuts Thompsons, and he feels for her but would prefer not to have exotic animals as neighbors. He said he found himself standing about 30 feet from a loose lion last week before it was killed. Id rather them not be here after what I experienced because of having the animals being out in the situation we were in, he said Thursday. And I think most of the neighbors around here would probably say the same thing. Thompsons husband, Terry, set free more than 50 wild animals including tigers and lions in the rural area of eastern Ohio. Most of the animals were killed by sheriffs deputies armed with rifles. The quarantine was issued as the zoo was unsuccessfully trying to stop Thompson from reclaiming the surviving animals. The zoo said it had Marian Thompsons permission to care for the animals, which have been kept separate from other animals, but has no legal rights to them. A veterinary medical officer for the Department of Agriculture looked at the animals and determined they needed to remain quarantined as allowed by Ohio law, which provides for the agriculture director to quarantine animals while investigating reports of potentially dangerous diseases. Thompson and her lawyer were informed of the order when they arrived at the zoo with a big truck on Thursday afternoon. The order is indefinite, but Thompson is entitled to a hearing within 30 days if she wants to appeal. Her attorney was traveling with her and could not be reached for comment. Zoo president Dale Schmidt said Thompson and her lawyer expressed that they feel these animals belong to her and she wants to exercise her rights. Department of Agriculture spokesman Andy Ware said it appeared the widow had planned to take the animals back to the farm. Sheriff Matt Lutz of Muskingum County, where Thompson lives, said his office isnt taking a stance on whether the creatures should return. If she wants to bring them back here, to this farm, then were working on what were allowed legally to do to make sure that everything is safe and appropriate, he said. The quarantine announcement came after Gov. John Kasich, upon learning the widow planned to retrieve the animals, asked the agency to ensure they didnt pose a health threat. Kasich, a Republican, earlier this year let expire an order that might have prevented the Thompsons from owning exotic animals. Last week he signed a temporary order to use existing laws to crack down on such animals before new laws are proposed. The Department of Agriculture said it was concerned about reports that the animals had lived in unsanitary conditions where they could be exposed to disease, and the order provides a chance to investigate their health. It prevents the zoo from releasing them until its clear theyre free of dangerous diseases.

Local anime artist visits Vantage Career Center

Matt Temple, a local artist from Paulding, recently spent the day in the Media Center at Vantage Career Center, sharing his story and demonstrating his talents in anime art. Temple said that he has been drawing since he could hold a pencil. He became interested in anime from TV shows, long before it was as popular as it is today. After graduating from Paulding High School, Matt attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and received a degree in computer animation. He continued his education at Defiance College, where he received his bachelors degree in Fine Arts. Anime is a style of animation originating in Japan that is characterized by stark colorful graphics depicting vibrant characters in action-filled plots usually with futuristic themes (Merriam-Webster online dictionary). Manga is a Japanese comic book or graphic novel. A graphic novel is a fictional story that is presented in comic strip format and published as a book. By combining his love of drawing and his degree in computer animation, Matt has been able to add much more color blending and vibrancy to his drawings. Vantage Networks Systems and Interactive Media students were enthralled with Temples presentation. They really connected and the students spoke the same language as Temple. It was great for the students to get some hands-on traditional art training. We mostly only do digital projects in lab, so the students love when they have opportunities to draw by hand, said Interactive Media instructor Jill DeWert. DJ Price (Antwerp), a Vantage senior in the Culinary Arts program, is a budding artist himself. I thought Matts presentation was phenomenal. The base he showed me helped

COLUMBUS (AP) An Ohio student group is asking its peers to avoid costumes based on racial or ethnic stereotypes this Halloween. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Students Teaching About Racism in Society at Ohio University has launched a campaign in advance of this weekends Halloween party, which draws tens of thousands of revelers to Athens. The campaign features five posters showing students holding up pictures of racially-insensitive costumes. One shows a white student in blackface and another a student dressed as an Arab suicide bomber. Other posters depict Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans. All of the posters show a member of the race being stereotyped holding the photos with text reading Were a culture, not a costume, and This is not who I am and this is not okay.

me a lot in drawing body positions, he said. Auto Body junior Treig Pierce (Van Wert) is also a huge fan of anime and was interested in Matts presentation. The presentation was amazing. Matt talked about how important it was to keep practicing and practicing the drawing, he said. Media Specialist Pam Knodel knows exactly what the students are checking out of the library. Graphic novels and manga are fiercely popular with our students this year. Matts shared interest in this style of animation, as well as his passion for anime/ manga drawing, captured the students attention and created a very enthusiastic response to his presentation, she said. Matt currently develops and teaches art classes for the Wassenberg Art Center in Van Wert and also works as a substitute teacher for several school districts.

KSU prof shouts Jury deliberates in retrial of 1967 Death to Israel! Ohio killing of teen schoolgirl
KENT (AP) An Ohio professor with former ties to a jihadist website has come under fire for shouting Death to Israel during a speech by a former Israeli diplomat. Multiple media outlets report that Kent State University professor Julio Pino shouted the comment on Tuesday after trading barbs with former Israeli diplomat Ishmael Khaldi. Pino reportedly asked how Israel could justify providing aid to countries with blood money that came from the deaths of Palestinians. Kent State President Lester Lefton issued a statement calling the comment deplorable, but defending Pinos right to say it. Pino has been a controversial figure on campus. He had previously written a column in the student newspaper eulogizing a Palestinian suicide bomber and has contributed to a jihadist website. TOLEDO (AP) A man accused of killing a 14-yearold Ohio schoolgirl in 1967 and dumping her body in Michigan revealed details in talks with detectives that showed he knew more about what happened than they did, a prosecutor told jurors before they began deliberating Thursday. Robert Bowman is accused of snatching Eileen Adams, a freshman who was on her way home from her Toledo high school, and holding her captive in his basement for days before killing her. The case stumped detectives for decades until they took another look at it just five years ago. Bowman, whos now 75, faces life in prison if convicted at his retrial. Jurors in August couldnt reach a unanimous verdict after several weeks of testimony. Jurors deliberated for about nine hours Thursday before

being sequestered for the night. They will resume deliberations this morning. Prosecutors said during closing arguments that DNA evidence from the victims clothing and testimony from the suspects ex-wife, who said she saw the girl tied up in their basement, proved Bowmans guilt. They also said Bowman told detectives intimate details about how the girl was tied up when she found dead. If he hadnt killed her, why did he remember so much? said assistant Lucas County prosecutor John Weglian. Bowman took the witness stand this week after not testifying at his first trial and accused detectives and his ex-wife of making up stories about him.

Medicare premiums up not as much as expected

By RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR Associated Press WASHINGTON Good news for seniors: The government says Medicares basic monthly premium will rise less than expected next year, by $3.50 for most. It could be good, too, for President Barack Obama and Democrats struggling for older Americans votes in a close election. At $99.90 per month, the 2012 Part B premium for outpatient care will be about $7 less than projected as recently as May. The additional money that most seniors will pay works out to about 10 percent of the average Social Security cost-of-living increase theyll also be due. Some recently enrolled younger retirees will actually pay less. They were charged $115.40 a month this year, and theyll see that go down to $99.90. The main reason for lower-than-expected premiums seems to be the connection between Social Security COLAs and Medicare. Some also cite a moderation in health care costs. But the Obama administration is hoping seniors will get a simpler takeaway message: Medicare is under sound management. Older voters went for Republicans in the 2010 elections, after Obamas health care overhaul law cut Medicare spending to help finance coverage for the uninsured. Since then, the administration has worked hard to reverse any perception that Obama is steering Medicare into decline. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said its pretty remarkable that premiums will stay in check. She reassured seniors that they have nothing to fear from the health care law. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, Medicare is providing better benefits at lower cost, said Sebelius. Republicans werent buying it. A spokeswoman for Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said the brunt of the health laws Medicare cuts are still to come. More importantly, added Antonia Ferrier, lower Medicare premiums are being driven by lower than average Medicare spending due to the slow economy not the health care law. Hatch is the ranking Republican on the Senate panel overseeing Medicare. A spokeswoman for House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., said premiums are more affordable because seniors on tight budgets are spending less on health care in a troubled economy. Medicares Part B annual deductible, the amount beneficiaries pay before their coverage begins, will also drop next year to $140, a decrease of $22. The hospital deductible, however, will increase

Fischer, assisted by Pothast, constructed his invention using hand-carved pulleys, a leather shoe string for a drive belt, an electric drill and a rope from a Venetian blind. A foot pedal controls the motor. Twenty-eight Jefferson students and four advisors completed a marine biology course with a seven-day stay on Andros Island, Bahamas, last summer. Instructor Dave Whittington with advisors Sue Tenhundfeld, Herb Jenkins, Russ Belt, Donn Shade and students left Dayton airport for the stay at the Forfar Field Station at Andros. During their stay they studied ocean life at the various islands and blue holes. Comeback has been the No. 1 characteristic of the 1986 New York Mets. Collapse has been the trademark of the Boston Red Sox for the last 68 years. This club has shown the ability to come back from adversity all season, Keith Kernandez said after New York captured its first Series crown since 1969 with an 8-5 victory. 50 Years Ago 1961 St. Johns High School students enjoyed a Halloween record hop Thursday night in the high school gymnasium following Holy Hour devotions at church. Costumes were optional but prizes for those wearing them went to Joann Shumaker and Norma Osting as best couple and to Judy Wiechart for the most original. A former Delphos man, Richard A.

The following committee members had charge of the party: Mrs. E. W. Bell, Mrs. Harry Mills, Mrs. J. J. Cattell and Mrs. Robert Wilkins. A large number of Delphos and out-of-town people attended the Veterans of Foreign Wars card party which was held Tuesday at the Walterick-Hemme VFW Post headquarters above the Mox Garage.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Perry may skip some debates

Moderately confused

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Rick Perry may skip some upcoming GOP presidential debates, sidestepping a campaign staple that hasnt been kind to the Texas governor in his first two months on the national stage. Its a decision that ultimately could cause other Republicans to bow out of the more than half-dozen face-offs scheduled between now and the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3. In the debates so far, Perry has flubbed readymade attack lines and rambled through answers. Hes looked unprepared, if not angry and confused at times. And, in one debate in which Perrys advisers thought he had shown improvement, observers tagged him as a bully. Perry does plan to participate in a Nov. 9 debate at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich. his sixth but he hasnt committed to any others beyond that as political advisers hunker down to determine how best to proceed. Hes juggling fundraising and retail campaigning with only two months before the first votes in the Republican nomination fight are cast. We havent said no, but were looking at each debate, campaign spokesman Mark Miner said Thursday. There are numerous 15, 16, 17 debates, and were taking a look at each one and were making the appropriate consideration. He said that while debates are part of the process, theyre just one part. Rival campaigns jumped on Perry. You have to go to debates if you want to succeed in the new era, chided Steve Grubbs, chairman of Herman Cains Iowa campaign. But Republican strategist Ford OConnell, a former aide to John McCains 2008 presidential campaign, said Perry must play to his strength, not his weakness. During those debates, he looks like the Washington Generals while Mitt Romney is the Harlem Globetrotters scoring all around him, OConnell said. A lot of people have written him off as a bad debater already, so you might as well make up ground like you have during 10 years as Texas governor, and thats pressing the flesh, getting to know the people. Perry cruised to re-election last year without ever debating Democratic challenger Bill White. Perry refused to share a stage with White unless the former mayor of Houston released his tax return. White actually released all but one part of his return, which contained information about a business partnership that he wasnt allowed to make public. Perry seized on that, though, and avoided a debate altogether. I was stunned that he was able to make it the whole way through the 2010 campaign without debating, said J.D. Gins, who served as field director for the White campaign. I think most people saw through it, saw that he really didnt want to get up there and defend his record. As were all seeing now, hes shaky when he is thinking on his feet. Perry did debate during last years Texas Republican primary race and also during his gubernatorial races in 2002 and 2006.

Deficit-cutting panel looking at benefits

By DAVID ESPO and ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press mittees rooms as well as in public. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, noting published reports that Democrats are seeking $3 trillion in higher taxes, said, This is the same number that was in the presidents budget, the same number that that they I dont know that they found any Democrats in the House and Senate to vote for. I dont think its a reasonable number, he said. Boehner also chided Democrats for recommending $50 billion in savings from Medicaid over the next decade, well below what Republicans are seeking. Lets understand over the next 10 years, were going to spend $10 trillion on Medicaid. I just think theres a lot more room there to help find common ground, he said. At the same time, Boehner emphasized, I am committed to getting to an outcome that clears the committee and Congress. The speaker negotiated privately with President Barack Obama over the summer in deficit-reduction talks that failed to produce an agreement.

by $24, to $1,156, for those admitted as inpatients. One doesnt cancel out the other since a minority of beneficiaries are hospitalized in any given year. AARP, the seniors lobby, reacted warily to Thursdays announcement. Policy director David Certner said theres still a chance Congress could cut Medicare and Social Security as part of a budget deal. These changes would far outweigh todays good news, he said. For the average retiree, the Medicare news means they will have to fork over only a small part of a long-awaited Social Security increase next year for premiums. Premiums have been frozen at the 2008 level of $96.40 a month for about three-fourths of Medicare beneficiaries. That was due to the lack of a Social Security COLA during the depths of the economic downturn. But Social Security recently announced a raise averaging $39 a month for 2012. The Part B premium is one number that most of the 48 million people on Medicare can connect with. Average premiums for prescription coverage and for popular Medicare Advantage plans will stay flat or dip slightly for 2012, but fewer beneficiaries opt for those benefits. A leading nonpartisan expert on Medicare said she doubted election-year politics were behind the lower-thanexpected premiums for 2012.

WASHINGTON Rival deficit-cutting plans advanced by Republicans and Democrats on Congress secretive supercommittee would both mean smallerthan-expected cost of living benefit increases for veterans and federal retirees as well as Social Security recipients and bump up taxes for some individuals and families, according to officials familiar with the recommendations. In all, the changes would reduce deficits by an estimated $200 billion over a decade, a fraction of the committees minimum goal of $1.2 trillion in savings. A final decision by the panel on legislation to reduce deficits is still a few weeks off, and given the political difficulties involved, there is no certainty that the six Republicans and six Democrats will be able to agree. The two sides exchanged initial offers earlier this week, and each side swiftly found fault with the others proposal in the privacy of the com-

Summer growth calms recession fears: Will it last?

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer of work and want a job, thats discouraging news. And for President Barack Obama and incumbent members of Congress, it means theyll be facing voters with unemployment near 9 percent. It is still a very weak economy out there, said David Wyss, former chief economist at Standard & Poors. For now, the report on U.S. gross domestic product, or GDP, sketched a more optimistic picture for an economy that only two months ago seemed at risk of another recession. And it came on the same day that European leaders announced a deal in which banks would take 50 percent losses on Greek debt and raise new capital to protect against defaults on sovereign debt. Stocks surged on the European deal and maintained their gains after the report on U.S. growth was released. The Dow Jones rose 340 points to close at 12,209. The Dow hadnt closed above 12,000 since Aug. 1. The Standard & Poors 500 index is close to having its best month since 1974. If higher stock prices lead consumers to feel more confident about their wealth, they may spend more. That

At a news conference of her own, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California said she wanted a compromise that was big, bold and balanced, a phrase that Democrats use to convey an insistence on higher tax revenue. She pointedly declined to embrace what Democrats had presented to the supercommittee. She called it Sen. Baucus package, a reference to the Montana Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. That ran directly counter to his aides statements earlier in the week that he was speaking for a majority of Democrats on the panel and tacit confirmation that at least two of the partys members had not signed on as supporters. Ironically, while the Republican and Democratic panel members remain far apart, one of the relatively few items in common was a potentially controversial recommendation to change the calculation for annual costof-living increases in federal programs as well as the yearly adjustments in income tax brackets.

WASHINGTON A summer of modest economic growth is helping dispel lingering fears that another recession might be near. Whether the strength can be sustained is less certain. The economy grew at an annual rate of 2.5 percent in the July-September quarter, the Commerce Department said Thursday. But the growth was fueled by Americans who spent more while earning less and by businesses that invested in machines and computers, not workers. The expansion, the best quarterly growth in a year, came as a relief after anemic growth in the first half of the year, weeks of wild stock market shifts and the weakest consumer confidence since the height of the Great Recession. The economy would have to grow at nearly double the third-quarter pace to make a dent in the unemployment rate, which has stayed near 9 percent since the recession officially ended more than two years ago. For the more than 14 million Americans who are out

could help sustain economic growth. The GDP report measures the countrys total output of goods and services. It covers everything from bicycles to battleships, as well as services such as haircuts and doctors visits. Some economists doubt the economy can maintain its modest third-quarter pace. U.S. lawmakers are debating deep cuts in federal spending next year that would drag on growth. And state and local governments have been slashing budgets for more than a year. Obamas $447 billion jobs plan was blocked by Republicans, meaning that a Social Security tax cut that put an extra $1,000 to $2,000 this year in most Americans pockets could expire in January. So could extended unemployment benefits. They have been a key source of income for many people out of work for more than six months. Nor is the economy likely to get a lift from the depressed housing market. Typically, home construction drives growth during an economic recovery. But builders have been contributing much less to the economy this time.

Knights rally to upset Vikings

By Brian Bassett Times Bulletin Sports Editor sports@timesbulletin.com OTTAWA - With a 2-setto-1 lead and a 28-27 lead late in the fourth set against the Crestview Lady Knights at Ottawa Thursday, Leipsics Ashley Rieman and Kelly Nadler combined for a block on a Crestview shot. The ball found the floor to the immediate ovation of the Leipsic section and the Vikings stormed the court in victory. A whistle, however, put an immediate halt to the celebration, a Viking net violation gave the point to Crestview and tied the set at 28. The turn of events summed up the Division IV District Championship match between state-ranked No. 3 Leipsic and No. 11 Crestview played on the Supreme Court in Robert J. Hermiller Gymnasium at Ottawa-Glandorf High School perfectly - the Lady Knights were pushed to the brink time and time again and never quit, overcoming a 2-sets-to-none deficit to take the title 3-2 (22-25, 17-25, 25-21, 32-30, 15-10). The Lady Knights jumped out to a 2-0 lead to begin the first set; the Vikings answered with a run culminating in a Lyndsay Krinke kill which gave Leipsic a 5-3 lead. A Rachel Rieman ace later in the match pushed the score to 11-6, Leipsic, before Crestview answered with three consecutive points. Leipsic put together a rally to lead 19-10 on an Amber Gerdeman kill and a Lady Knight error. Crestview answered, which became a theme throughout the night, and a Leipsic error cut the deficit to three, 23-20. The Vikings held off the run, however, and Crestview errors gave them set point and the win. Leipsic led from start to finish in the second set. Their 2-0 lead became 15-10 on an Ashley Rieman kill. A Krinke kill later in the set gave the Vikings a 17-12 lead and prompted the Lady Knights to use a timeout. The break did not slow the Leipsic momentum, however, and an Ashley Rieman ace gave them a 20-13 lead. With a 23-17 lead late in the second set, consecutive Nadler kills sealed the win for the Vikings, giving them a 2-0 match lead. Leipsic marched out to a 6-1 lead in the third set behind consecutive blocks by Emily Gerten and Nadler and a Lady Knight error. It looked, momentarily, like the Vikings had the match easily in hand. The scrappy Lady Knights answered with a run featuring two Mekale Clifton kills, which prompted a Leipsic timeout. Two quick Nadler kills out of the break gave the Vikings some breathing room but consecutive Kirstin Hicks kills and a Taylor Springer and Courtney Trigg combined block gave the Lady Knights their first set lead since 2-0 in the first set, 9-8. The teams then played to ties at 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 before a Springer kill gave the Lady Knights a 22-21 lead and forced a Viking timeout. Crestview rolled off three straight points out of the break to take the second set, 25-21, and keep their match hopes alive. Crestview took the early lead in the fourth set, 4-1, on a Danica Hicks kill. The Vikings stormed back to tie the set on a combined block by Nadler and Ashley Rieman. Leipsic scored five unanswered points to run their lead to 9-5 on a Ashley Rieman kill. Her ace later gave the Vikings a 13-7 lead, prompting Crestview to use its first timeout. Consecutive Springer kills out of the break started a 4-point rally which brought Crestview back within two, 13-11, and caused the Vikings to use a timeout. Leipsic increased the lead to 15-11 before a service error gave the Lady Knights a point. A Gerdeman block seemingly gave the Vikings a 16-12 lead but a net violation gave the point to the Lady Knights and could have issued a momentum swing in the match. Down 17-15, Crestview tied it on a Danica Hicks kill and a Leipsic net violation and took the lead on a Clifton block. Their lead became 22-19 on a Danica Hicks ace but the Vikings came back to tie things at 23 on a Gerdeman and Haley Gerten block - forcing a Lady Knight timeout. The teams then traded points and a Danica Hicks kill tied the set at 27. Leipsic answered with a Nadler block to make the score 28-27, Leipsic - match point. The would-be game-winning block was then negated by the line judge to tie it at 28, giving Crestview unexpected new life. Nadler and Danica Hicks traded kills, as did Trigg and Krinke, to make the score 30-30. A Kirstin Hicks block gave Crestview set point and a Springer kill gave them the set, 32-30 - causing an eruption on the Crestview side of the gym. The 2-2 tie sent the match to a fifth set. The Lady Knights again gave the momentum to the Vikings to begin things, spotting them a 7-3 lead on a Nadler Kill. A Springer kill and a Taylor Hamrick block made the score 7-5 and caused Leipsic to use their timeout. The Lady Knights continued to roll out of the break, seizing the 8-7 lead on a Hamrick kill. The Crestview advantage grew to 12-8 on consecutive Springer blocks before a Crestview error gave the Vikings a point. The Knights then outscored the Vikings 3-1 - a Springer kill, a Danica Hicks/Clifton block and a Danica Hicks kill - to cap a dramatic comeback for the set (15-10), the match (3-2) and a district championship. The loss was the first on the season for the Vikings, this was also the first time they had played a fifth set all season. The title marks the sixth in school history for Crestview, the first since 2000. They never gave up. Theyve been fighters since Ive had them; its great to be at this point right now, Crestview coach Tammy Gregory said. We told them

at the last timeout, Youve worked this hard. We could have given up long ago. Lets think about what our goals are, what we want to accomplish. Weve got to back each other and we can do anything when we put our minds to it. The Lady Knights neversay-die attitude has become their calling-card throughout the season and was never more on display than Thursday in Ottawa: Records, rankings mean nothing right now. Were here to win, said Gregory. Gregory credited libero Holly Genth, who came up with 29 digs on the contest: She was all over. Some of their hitters are really hard to read in terms of doing a lot of movement in the air. But shes a fighter. Holly will sacrifice everything. Some of her falls look awful, very painful, but shes here to win. Kirstin Hicks made a huge contribution off the bench for the Lady Knights after coming on in the second set. That was something that I felt needed done, she just brings so much fight to the court, Gregory added. Leipsic coach Chelsie Rogers said the team played well the first two sets but could not overcome the wave of Lady Knight momentum. After winning the first two the way we did, I knew it wouldnt be over without a fight. It wasnt going to be easy, she added. Those first two games, we played almost perfect; everyone did what they had to do. We knew if we relaxed, even the slightest bit, they would grab the momentum. With the type of defense they play, the scrappy defense they play is just Un-real. Danica Hicks recorded 20 assists, 19 kills and two aces on the night. Springer had 23 assists, 14 kills and an ace. Hamrick and Kirstin Hicks had eight kills each, with Hicks adding an ace and 13 digs and Hamrick 14 digs. The Lady Knights (21-3) advance to play Sycamore Mohawk (20-2, state No. 14) in the regional semifinal at Elida High school at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The St. Johns football team put itself in position to notch a 3-way tie for the Midwest Athletic Conference title with a win Saturday night over rival Marion Local. N o w the Blue Jays (6-3, 6-1 MAC) Krendl need to finish the job over improving New Bremen (0-9, 0-7 MAC) tonight at New Bremen. Though the Jays are secure in the knowledge that they will host a playoff game next Saturday night, they cant be overconfident against the Cardinals, a c c o r d ing to head coach Todd Schulte. These guys have been close the last two weeks. They gave Coldwater all Jostpille they wanted last week, driving for a winning score before a pick-6 lost them the game (30-21), Schulte explained. They seem to do some good things for a few plays and then make mistakes; they havent been consistent. At the same time, they have literally nothing to lose and we have a lot to lose; I expect them to play loose and relaxed. Plus, you dont know what they might have up their sleeve and you know they will hit hard; they always do. For example, defensively, we have seen them in three different philosophies, Against Marion Local, they blitzed every play. Against Minster, they never blitzed, both times out of a 4-4/4-3. We have seen them in a 5-man front other times. We have tried to prepare our linemen for as much as we could because they may come out in something we dont expect; we will have to adjust on the fly and get them blocked in whatever defense they use. Offensively, they run a lot of the spread option with the quarterback, Elliot Westerbeck, in the shotgun. He is pretty quick and makes nice reads. Even though our

kids are used to it in practice, it still requires you to slow down; it takes away your aggression because you have to be smart, disciplined and sound in your assignments. If you take a play off, it can be a score very easily. Among the leaders of the Blue Jay defense that cedes 13.1 points and 262.7 yards per outing are the likes of junior Brett Schwinnen (51 solos, 42 assists), senior Kyle Neumeier (40 and 45), sophomore Cody Looser (38 and Lindeman 39), senior Logan Looser (28 and 30; 3 sacks), senior Ryan Densel (34 and 17; 3 picks), sophomore Tyler Jettinghoff (33 and 17) and senior Garth Lucius (18 and 23). Senior end Elijah Brinkman (28 and 9; 6 sacks) is out for the game due to injury, as is 2-way backup lineman Austin Reindel. For an offense that puts up 21.4 markers and 237.1 yards per, the top Jays are Jettinghoff Lucius (81 rushes, 465 yards, 5 TDs; 8 catches, 80 yards), senior Jordan Bergfeld (84 rushes, 401 yards, 12; 4 catches, 36 yards), senior Tanner Calvelage (27 receptions, 461 yards, 2), junior Mark Boggs (42-of-83 passing, 609 yards, 3 TDs, 7 picks) and senior Dylan Krendl (4 catches, 59 yards). Seniors David Lindeman and Austin Jostpille also rotate in at receiver. Beating the Flyers 21-14 a week ago was a big confidence-booster for Schulte and his Jays. We are in position for a 3-way league tie and our third straight league championship; not many people gave us a chance for that at the start. I hope it is a springboard for (tonight) and the playoffs, Schulte added. We did it the way we have all year: solid defense, great special teams and the offense doing just enough to take advantage. New Bremen coach Robert Messick was unavailable for comment. Kickoff time is 7:30 p.m.

If Southern Baptists gather for a seminar on what Mormons believe, the odds are good that one of the teachers will be a former member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Then again, if Mormons gather for a seminar on what Southern Baptists believe, the odds are good that one of the teachers will be a former Southern Baptist. Theres an important word that people forget when they start talking about Southern Baptists and Mormons and that word is competition, said the Rev. Richard Land, one of the most outspoken leaders of Americas largest non-Catholic ock. He leads the Southern Baptist Conventions Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. We are talking about the two most evangelistic churches in North America and most of the world, he said. There are lots of Mormons who used to be Baptists and lots of Baptists who used to be Mormons. ... Its natural to see some tensions now and then. Meanwhile, some Mormons and Baptists keep colliding in the public square every four years or so -- just about the time White House wannabes butt heads in Republican debates. The latest storm centered on remarks by the Rev. Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church of Dallas. A supporter of Rick Perry of Texas, Jeffress told the recent Values Vot-

ers Summit crowd that Mormon Mitt Romney is not a real Christian and later insisted on calling the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints a theological cult. Obviously, that language offends Mormons, said Land. Truth is, no one in todays Southern Baptist leadership believes that modern Mormons should be described with the word cult as most Americans would understand this hot-button term, dened according to psychological or sociological factors. Clearly the Mormons are anything but that, he said. Theyre the president of your Rotary Club and the leaders of your local bank. No one thinks theyre one of the dangerous, separatistic cults that you read about in headlines -- people like Jim Jones or the Branch Davidians. However, most Baptists and members of many other Christian churches have grown

up hearing Mormonism described in theological or doctrinal terms. A Southern Baptist website on new religious movements states: A cult ... is a group of people polarized around someones interpretation of the Bible and is characterized by major deviations from orthodox Christianity relative to the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith, particularly the fact that God became man in Jesus Christ. In recent years, Land has numbered himself among those who describe Mormonism as a kind of fourth Abrahamic tradition, a new faith that has reinterpreted the past under the guidance of its own prophet and its own scriptures. In this case, he said, Joseph Smith is like Muhammad and the Book of Mormon is like the Koran. Mormons believe they have restored true Christianity, while Trinitarian churches reject this claim that they have lost the faith. Thus, its not surprising that a new LifeWay Research survey of 1,000 liberal and conservative Protestant clergy in America found that 75 percent disagreed with this statement: I personally consider Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) to be Christians. The surprise was that 48 percent of mainline Protestant pastors strongly agreed that Mormons are not Christians. In 2001, the Vatican posted its stance on

this issue: Whether the baptism conferred by the community [of] the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, called Mormons in the vernacular, is valid. The response from Pope John Paul II was blunt: Negative. His verdict validated that of scholar Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who is now Pope Benedict XVI. Of course, the reason these issues are being debated in the rst place is that Romney -- a prominent Mormon leader -- is a Republican frontrunner in an era in which conservative Catholic and Protestant voters play a prominent role in Iowa, South Carolina and numerous other primary contests. Mormon voters and donors are crucial, as well. Land, who urged Romney to seek the presidency in 2008, is convinced most conservative believers will have no trouble backing the former Massachusetts governor, when push comes to shove. Most people know that theyre voting for a president, not a Bible-study leader, he said. Actually, the problem Romney is having in the primaries is not that hes a Mormon, but that many GOP voters are not sure that hes Mormon enough.

Edible snack containers

Cones are a practical, edible and portable container to hold snacks for kids. You can pour snacks such as trail mix, goldfish or animal crackers, fresh or dried fruit, mini marshmallows, popcorn or pretzels into a waffle or sugar cone. Or, when you make Rice Krispies treats, mold individual portions into cones to prevent sticky fingers. You can add pudding or yogurt, too. Not only can kids eat the cone container, but it offers good portion control, as well. Visit family.go.com/food/recipe842698-edible-teacups--t/ for a cute cone teacup idea. The first reader tip shares another cone suggestion. Egg salad cone: My daughter only eats the insides of sandwiches, and I decided that was too wasteful. While at the grocery store, I reasoned that an ice cream cone is kind of like bread. She loved it and ate the whole thing. I wonder what else I can put in a cone ... green beans, perhaps? -Katy, Midwest Homemade muffin storage: I always freeze my baked goods immediately after they cool. You can pull them out and reheat them or just allow them to come to room temperature before consuming, and they will taste fresh! I worked in the food industry for more than three years. The professionals do it this way, even for wedding cakes. Just make sure the foods are fully cooled so you dont get condensation in your containers or baggies, which will make them soggy and, if you leave them out, will cause them to mold faster. If a baked good has been left out of the freezer, I toss it on the third day. Even if you cant see mold, rot is occurring. Gross, but true. -- Constance, New Jersey

Homemade sweetened condensed milk: This is a from scratch recipe for sweetened condensed milk. Its so easy, I may never buy a can again. This recipe makes the equivalent of one 14-ounce can: 1 cup instant non-fat powdered milk 1/3 cup boiling water 3 tablespoons melted margarine or butter 2/3 cup granulated sugar splash of vanilla (optional) pinch of salt (optional) Boil water, either directly on the stovetop or by using a tea kettle. Blend all ingredients together in a heat-safe bowl using either a wire whisk or a blender. It will have a thinner consistency than the canned stuff, but if you let it sit or refrigerate it, I find it thickens up. It should last a few weeks in the fridge. -- Libby, Canada

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, OCT. 29, 2011 Your chart shows that in the year ahead you could now receive some well-deserved rewards and recognition where youve previously been taken for granted. A new you, who might be a pretty tough cookie, will start to emerge. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Its nice of you to do a favor for someone, but make sure you dont do so in a manner that leaves the person feeling tremendously obligated to you. Let him or her know that there are no strings attached. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An acquaintance who isnt particularly popular with your peer group could use some reassurance. Let this person know that you, at least, can be counted on as a friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have greater fortitude than you may realize. You may find out just how much backbone you have, if you should feel threatened or challenged in any way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Usually its not wise to offer unsolicited advice, but someone to whom you have a close attachment might be able to profit from one of your past experiences. If so, speak up. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you believe something youre doing is having a negative effect on your finances, by all means make corrections. Its up to you to protect your interests. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Because youre not likely to dodge difficult jobs, people or situations, your chances for achieving your goals will be heightened considerably. Youll take things as they come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Assistants and sidekicks will be watching every move you make in hopes of picking up some of your secrets to success. Do a good job, because they will follow what you do to the letter. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Someone youd least suspect could step up and be the one wholl help you accomplish something you cant do on your own. This newfound alliance will prove to be of benefit to both parties. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Meet your assignments head-on, even those that arent to your liking. Once you get into them, youll find they arent as difficult or distasteful as you thought. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be satisfied with small gains instead of trying to make one huge, impressive killing. When all the little stuff is put together, itll have a way of adding up into being something quite substantial. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Most things in general will be favorable for you, but your best possibilities for gain are likely to come from commercial or financial involvements. What you accomplish will be impressive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Of course its important for you to view developments realistically, but not to the point of taking things so seriously that you lose your sense of perspective. Smile frequently.

Occupy groups hold vigils for injured vet

By TERRY COLLINS and JASON DEAREN Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. Anti-Wall Street demonstrators held vigils for an Iraq War veteran seriously injured during a protest clash with police in California as some Occupy encampments came under growing pressure from authorities to abandon sites in parks and plazas. A crowd of at least 1,000 people, many holding candles, gathered Thursday night in Oakland in honor of 24-year-old Scott Olsen, who is hospitalized with a fractured skull. In Nashville, police cracked down overnight on an Occupy protest camp near the Capitol under a new policy setting a curfew for the complex. They moved in a little after 3 a.m. and arrested about 30, who were later released after a judge wouldnt sign the warrants. About 20 protesters who stayed on a nearby sidewalk were not arrested and were still there later in the morning as state troopers stood guard at the steps to the Capitol. Protesters also held a vigil for Olsen in Las Vegas, which drew a handful of police officers. Afterward, protesters invited them back for a potluck dinner. We renewed our vow of nonviolence, organizer Sebring Frehner said. The Marine veteran, who won medals in Iraq, has become a rallying cry for the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators across the nation, with Twitter users and protest websites declaring, We are all Scott Olsen. Joshua Shepherd, 27, a Navy veteran who was standing nearby when Olsen got struck, called it a cruel irony that Olsen is fighting an injury in the country that he fought to protect. Despite the financial underpinnings of the protests, Olsen himself wasnt taking part out of economic need. His friends say he makes a good living as a network engineer and has a nice apartment overlooking San Francisco Bay. Still, he felt so strongly about economic inequality in the United States that he fought for overseas that he slept at a protest camp after work. He felt you shouldnt wait until something is affecting you to get out and do something about it, said friend and roommate Keith Shannon, who served with Olsen in Iraq. It was that feeling that drew him to Oakland on Tuesday night, when the clashes broke out and Olsens skull was fractured. Fellow veterans said Olsen was struck in the head by a projectile fired by police, although the exact object and who might have been responsible for the injury have not been definitively established. Officials are investigating exactly where the projectile came from. Even as the vigil was held in Oakland, protest organizers prepared to defy Oaklands prohibition on overnight camping at a plaza near City Hall. Shake Anderson, an organizer with Occupy Oakland, said half a dozen tents were erected on the plaza Thursday evening where police armed with tear gas and bean bag rounds disbanded a 15-day-old encampment Tuesday. More tents, food and supplies arrived during the meeting and vigil for Scott Olsen, with about 25 tents erected late Thursday. We believe in what were doing, Anderson said. No one is afraid. If anything, were going to show theres strength in numbers. Few police were seen in the area during late Thursday night, though Oakland Mayor Jean Quan issued a statement asking protesters not to camp at the plaza. Elsewhere across the United States, protesters brushed off pressure from authorities and maintained the camps that have sprung up in opposition to growing economic inequality. Protesters at San Franciscos Justin Herman Plaza braced for a police raid early Thursday that never came. Still, police have warned the protesters that they could be arrested on a variety of sanitation or illegal camping violations. Officials told protesters in Providence, R.I., that they were violating multiple city laws by camping overnight at a park. Anti-Wall Street protesters camped out in downtown Los Angeles said theyre planning to continue their demonstration indefinitely, although both they and the mayors office were eyeing alternate sites. Meanwhile, Olsen has been improving. Doctors transferred him from the emergency room to an intensive care unit and upgrading his condition to fair. Dr. Alden Harken, chief surgeon at Alameda County Medical Center, said Olsen

was still unable to speak but had improved dramatically since he was hospitalized unconscious with a fractured skull and bruised brain that caused seizures. By Thursday afternoon, Harken said, Olsen was interacting with his parents, who flew in from Wisconsin in the morning, doing math equations and otherwise showing signs of high-level cognitive functioning. The doctor said he may require surgery, but thats unlikely. Hes got a relatively small area of injury and hes got his youth going for him. So both of those are very favorable, Harken said. Olsen smiled when Mayor Jean Quan stopped by to visit and expressed surprise at all the attention his injury has generated, hospital spokesman Vintage Foster said. The mayor apologized and promised an investigation, according to Foster. His uncle in Wisconsin told The Associated Press that Olsens mother was trying to understand what had happened. This is obviously a heartbreaker to her, George Nygaard said. I dont think she understands why he was doing this. The group Iraq Veterans Against the War blamed police for Olsens injury. Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said officials will investigate whether officers used excessive force. He did not return calls seeking comment Thursday. Police have said they responded with tear gas and bean bag rounds only when protesters began throwing bottles and other items at them.
