The 2011 Delphos Herald Tri-County Man of the Year Leonard W. Smith, 90, of Delphos, died Thursday. Mr. Smith was an Army veteran of World War II, serving as a staff sergeant in the European theater and participated in Rhineland and central Europe. He received the American Theater Ribbon, Europe/ Africa/Middle East Campaign Ribbon, the Bronze Star and a Good Conduct Medal. He was a lifelong dairy farmer and had been an agriculture instructor for returning World War II veterans and local farmers in Putnam County. He was a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, where he served as choir member for more than 25 years. He was a dedicated pro-life advocate. He was a volunteer at the Interfaith Thrift Shop. Music was his passion and he played the guitar, violin and a mean harmonica. He loved woodworking, was an avid baseball fan, especially of the Cincinnati Reds, and was a die-hard St. Johns Blue Jays fan. See the full obituary on page 2.

Veterans encouraged to Police nab suspected shoplifters sign up for Honor Flight
BY KIRK DOUGAL Times Bulletin Editor For the past three and a half years, veterans in Northwest Ohio who served America during a period of war have been given the opportunity to fly to Washington D.C. and see the memorials that were built in their honor. Honor Flight Northwest Ohio began flights in April of 2008 and was an instant success, flying nearly 150 World War II service veterans on the special trip in its first year. Today, tens of thousands of veterans from areas around the country with Honor Flights of their own have been taken to see the memorials. Recently, there have been questions raised because some hubs have announced they are now accepting Korean War and Vietnam War veterans for the flights. Since the Honor Flights in the past have always concentrated on the World War II veterans, some people wondered if the focus had shifted. Jim Tichy, emeritus board member of Honor Flight Northwest Ohio said the mission has remained the same. There are about 250 World War II veterans on the waiting list for next year (in Northwest Ohio) when we start flights again, Tichy said. That is about three flights. We are accepting Korean and Vietnam veterans applications but the World War II guys go first. If we have the money for more flights, then they would be able to go. Tichy went on to point out a steady amount of World War II veteran applications are still arriving from around northwest Ohio so that 250 number could continue to grow. That is why, although he continues to encourage younger veterans to complete and return the applications, he wanted to be sure to point out they are not guaranteed flights yet. Once the backlog of WWII personnel is exhausted, then it will be the Korean War vets turn. Honor Flight is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to flying veterans to Washington, D.C., so they can see their memorials. Air transportation, motor coach, meals and other amenities are all provided without charge. Currently, the focus remains on World War II veterans, many of whom do not have the remaining health or financial means to take on a trip like this on their own. There is also another reason to focus on this group of veterans: about 1,000 World War II servicemen pass away daily, dwindling their numbers and taking away their firsthand knowledge of what happened in the war. The program operates solely from the contributions of time, money and effort of its volunteers, guardians and donors. Guardians pay their own expenses for the privilege of escorting the heroes for the day. The program has no administrative costs so consequently approximately 95 percent of all donations go directly to funding flights. However, medical attendants are not provided. Veterans are encouraged to contact Honor Flight now for next years trips as there is a waiting list and the sooner they sign up, the sooner they will be able to go to Washington.

William A. Donohue, 23 Grand Avenue, Lima Theft M1 Obstructing official business M2 Staff reports Four Lima residents face a variety of charges after being apprehended by Delphos Police Thursday afternoon after they received a call from Dollar General Store employees reporting individuals shoplifting in the store. At approximately 1:16 p.m., police arrived and were directed by store employees and witnesses to the suspect vehicle. A few moments later, police found the suspect vehicle abandoned and parked beside Chief Supermarket. As police were investigating the vehicle, a female, later identified as Lindsay R. Jones, was seen walking toward the vehicle. According to reports, when Jones spotted police, she turned around and fled on foot. Officers pursued and apprehended her. Jones then fought with officers and spit in the face and eyes of one of them. Jones was pepper-sprayed and effectively subdued. Multiple pieces of stolen property fell out of her clothing as she was arrested. As this was occurring, a witness alerted officers that the other three suspects were hiding inside McDonalds Restaurant. Additional police officers located William A.

Jacob S. Kilgore, 19 Paradise Place, Lima Theft M1 Donohue hiding inside a bathroom stall at McDonalds. Inside the stall with him were numerous stolen items. He was then also taken into custody. The last two suspects, Jacob S. Kilgore and Lewis K. Cheney, fled the area on foot. Approximately 15 minutes later, they were found inside the Delphos Recreation Center and were also taken into custody. After speaking to all witnesses, interviewing store employees, reviewing store surveillance video and interviewing the suspects, it was learned the four individuals had been on a shoplifting spree at multiple locations in Delphos. Police eventually recovered more than 20 items of evidence from various locations during the arrest of these individuals. Items stolen were primarily DVD/Blu Ray movies and games. The suspects acknowledged they targeted businesses in Delphos because they believed they were not well-known here, adding they planned to later pawn the stolen items for cash. City police credit alert store employees and especially the witness who followed the suspects and alert-

Phillips pleads guilty

VAN WERT Under heavy security in Van Wert County Court of Common Pleas Thursday afternoon, Chad D. Phillips, 32, Middle Point, changed his plea to guilty in the aggravated murder of 24-year-old Christopher McMillen. In a plea agreement, Phillips pleaded guilty to the most serious of the four charges against him, avoiding a jury trial which was set to begin on Monday. First-degree felony counts of aggravated burglary and attempted murder and a second-degree felony count of felonious assault as well as specifications for having a firearm and the use of a vehicle were dropped in exchange for a guilty plea. Phillips had previously entered pleas of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity to each of the charges. Phillips will be sentenced to life in prison as a result of the plea. The only matter left to decide is if he will be eligible for parole at any time. Judge Charles D. Steele explained to Phillips he could receive life without the possibility of parole or a life sentence with a possibility of parole after either 20, 25, or 30 years. Sentencing is set for Dec. 15. Afterward, Christopher McMillens father, Danny McMillen, spoke about his hopes for sentencing. I want the maximum, he stated. My son can no longer walk and breathe on this earth. Hes dead, but he [Phillips] is alive. My feel-

From the Vantage Point

Eighth-graders from area schools got to take a peek at what the future might look like in several different career areas, as they visited the career technical labs at Vantage Career Center. Each school in the Vantage district is invited to bring their eighth-graders to Vantage for a career exploration activity, which involves a twohour hands-on demonstration tour. Eighth graders receive a mini-brochure which describes the career-technical programs and explains what a typical day is like for students who attend Vantage. The eighth-graders spend a little time in each lab and return home with a better idea of what goes on behind those big doors off the hallway. This career exploration activity is especially helpful by informing the students about all the options available to them. During the visit, the eighth-graders are able to see what skills are being used in different career areas. Students may also become more aware of how their interests and abil-

Deficit supercommittee encounters rough patch

By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON With Congress supercommittee stymied, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned Thursday of a paper tiger Pentagon if the panel fails to agree on a deficit-reduction plan and automatic spending cuts take effect as a result beginning in 2013. The reductions would lead to a hollow force, he said at a Pentagon news conference, a ship without sailors. Its a brigade without bullets. Its an air wing without enough trained pilots. ... An Army of barracks, buildings and bombs without enough trained soldiers able to accomplish the mission. Its a force that suffers low morale, poor readiness and is unable to keep up with potential adversaries. The supercommittee has until Nov. 23 to agree on a deficit-reduction package of at least $1.2 trillion over a decade. Any amount less than that would be made up in across-the-board cuts divided evenly between defense and domestic programs. If the By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press committee failed entirely, according to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office, the Pentagon would have about $450 billion less to spend over the next 10 years than current projections, leaving it with nearly $600 billion at its disposal in 2021. The legislation that created the 12-member supercommittee earlier this year was crafted to make the threat of across-the-board cuts a powerful incentive for lawmakers to reach a compromise. But in recent days, following an exchange of offers Monday night at a meeting of a rump group of four Republicans and three Democrats, the chances of a deficit-reduction deal appear to have dimmed. As we get closer to the end its harder to be optimistic. But Im hopeful, Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, told reporters. The committees co-chairs met privately, and each said afterward without evident optimism that the negotiations were continuing. Nobody walked away, nobody, Sen.

DEAR EDITOR: On behalf of the current and future participants of the Delphos Senior Citizens, Inc. and the Van Wert County Council on Aging, Inc. sincere appreciation is extended to the Van Wert County voters who passed the .2-mil levy on Tuesday which provides direct services to residents 60 years and older in Van Wert County. With the growth of the elderly population, there has been increased demand for the direct services our two agencies provide. With the passage of this levy, vital services such as transportation, assistance with Medicare forms, information and referral, chore and socialization can continue to be provided for our senior population. The Van Wert County commissioners and the Van Wert voters are to be commended for supporting services that encourage independent living for Van Wert Countys older residents.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Obama to begin diplomatic trip

One Year Ago The Delphos Lions Club was part of the community for 54 years. Having dwindled to a handful of aging members, the club has disbanded but made another round of donations before doing so. Several organizations saw $8,507 distributed among them. 25 Years Ago 1986 Members of American Legion Post 268 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3035 conducted Armistice Day services at 11 a.m. today behind the post office. Doug Harter played taps. Mayor Harold Wieging delivered the address. Post 268 Commander Charles Bud Kaverman read the prescribed ritual. Five Jefferson defensive players won first team AllNorthwest Conference. Tony Closson won first team honors on both offense and defense. Other defensive selections were Joe Gorman, Mark Downey, Bob Ladd and Steve Buzzard. Selected to the offense along with Closson was Keith Dickman. Emma Shenk of Elida, will celebrate her 100th birthday Nov. 13. She was born Nov. 13, 1886 near Elida to Samuel Ann (Shenk) Brunk. She married Menno Shenk Dec. 10, 1906. He is deceased. Still in good health, according to her relatives, she does hand sewing on comforters for the Dorcas Sewing Circle. 50 Years Ago 1961 All is in readiness for the annual Veterans Day observance to be held in the churchyard of the First Assembly of God Church on Metbliss Avenue, according to Rev. Warren J. Campbell, pastor. A highlight of the service will be dedication of a flag presented to the young people of the church. The flag, which once flew over the Capitol in Washington, D. C., was given to the church by Congressman William M. McCulloch. Students of St. Johns High School and the seventh and eighth grades were given a rare treat Friday afternoon in the high school gymnasium when the Franciscan Friars of Carey presented the stage play Brother Orchid. The play was sponsored by St. Johns high school Mission Society of which Sister Mary Ladonna and Sister Mary Ferdinand are the moderators. Mothers of the new Brownie Scouts were the guests at a candlelight ceremony held Thursday afternoon at Trinity Methodist Church. The new members are Jane Bendele, Brenda Brumback, Maureen Kaskel, Celeste Metzner, Cheryl Peters, Rojean Ralston, Marie Redmon, Ann Odenweller, Rose Ann Snyder, Betty Bertling, Karen Flever, Margaret Bendele, Jane Bertling, Mary Lange, and Marilyn Odenweller. 75 Years Ago 1936 A new secretary of the Delphos Kiwanis Club was named Tuesday evening at a meeting of the officers and board of directors of the club. At that time Melvin Westrich presented his resignation. His resignation was accepted and Harry Crede was named as secretary for the year 1937. Armistice Day was quietly celebrated in Delphos today. The only formal observance of the day was staged by Commemorative Post, Delphos American Legion. The Legion color bearers and color guard and other members of the post marched to the Library Park for a flag raising ceremony. Taps were sounded and the group disbanded. The need of a public comfort station in the city of Delphos was stressed at council meeting by Mayor W. H. Taylor. He stated that a comfort station is badly needed as there are no public restrooms in Delphos. He urged that council take some action to place the construction of such a place under a WPA project.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

WASHINGTON (AP) Determined to deepen relations with Asia, President Barack Obama is pouring nine days of valued time into a diplomatic mission away from Washington while Congress struggles toward a crucial budget deadline and a doubtful outcome. Obama departs today for far-reaching summits in Hawaii and Indonesia, with a visit to Australia in between. The travels will take the president more than 10,000 miles and across many time zones from home at a moment when domestic concerns matter most to the electorate. His challenge will be to explain to voters how the U.S. role in the Asia-Pacific region is essential to American jobs and security and then emerge with results to show for his travels. For a leader who was born in Hawaii, spent boyhood years in Indonesia and hails himself as Americas first Pacific president, Obamas worldview is shaped deeply by Asia. His administration is showering attention on the Asia-Pacific region as a driver of global politics, prized buyer of American products and central player in protecting world peace. If you want America to be a world leader in this century, that leadership is going to have to include the Asia-Pacific, said Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser for Obama. Such a focus is essential to American interests, analysts say, but still a test for a president who is seeking to govern and run for re-election at once.

WASHINGTON The Obama administration said Thursday it is delaying a decision on a massive oil pipeline until it can study new potential routes that avoid environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska, a move that likely puts off final action on the pipeline until after the 2012 election. The announcement by the State Department means Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. will have to figure out a way to move the proposed Keystone XL pipeline around the Nebraska Sandhills region and Ogallala aquifer, which supplies water to eight states. The State Department said it will require an environmental review of the new section, which is expected to be completed in early 2013. President Barack Obama said the 1,700-mile pipeline could affect the health and safety of the American people as well as the environment. We should take the time to ensure that all questions are properly addressed and all the potential impacts are properly understood, Obama said in a statement. The decision on whether to approve the $7 billion pipeline should be guided by an open, transparent process that is informed by the best available science and the voices of the American people, Obama said. TransCanada Corp. is seeking to build a 36-inch pipeline to carry oil derived from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. The pipeline would travel through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma before reaching Texas. The heavily contested project has become a political trap for Obama, who risks angering environmental supporters if he approves the pipeline and could face criticism from labor and business groups for thwarting job creation if he rejects it. Some liberal donors have threatened to cut off contributions to Obamas re-election campaign if he approves the pipeline. The project has become a focal point for environmental groups, which say it would bring dirty oil that requires huge amounts of energy to extract. They also worry that the pipeline could cause an ecological disaster in case of a spill. Thousands of protesters gathered across from the

ing statements to the contrary from some Republicans. Asked whether the panel was stalled, she said, I would absolutely not say we are stalled. I would not use that word at all. Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling, Murrays Republican counterpart, went out of his way to compliment Democrats for negotiating in good faith, and to praise President Barack Obama for identifying escalating health care costs as the principal force behind huge deficits. So we remain hopeful. This is not part of a blame game, he said. Yet there were elements of that too. After largely watching from the sidelines in recent weeks, senior administration officials unleashed an attack on Republicans, telling reporters that any failure in negotiations would result from a GOP unwillingness to raise taxes on the wealthy. In particular, they criticized a Republican offer from earlier in the week, which included a first-ever offer to raise government revenues, as a tax cut in disguise for upperincome Americans.

Our vow to Americas veterans

ing veterans to install energy efficient technologies because it knows that veterans have the specialized skills needed to get the job done. Now is the time we help them do just that. Thats why I introduced the VOW to Hire Heroes Act, also known as the Veterans Jobs Bill. Servicemembers risk their lives protecting our nation only to return home to fight each day looking for work. The VOW to Hire Heroes Act would provide critical hiring incentives, transition assistance, mentorship programs, and job training that would connect our veterans with jobs in high-demand sectors from clean energy to IT. And it marks an investment in our nations citizens that has been proven to strengthen our economy and create jobs. Once again, veterans will help to lead the way. In previous generations, Ohio veterans returned to their hometowns and started small businesses or became firefighters, astronauts, factory workers, or police officers. Half a dozen became President of the United States. For Americas returning veterans during Worl War II, our nation provided education benefits, hiring preferences, job training, small business loans, and the chance to own a home. With these policies, the federal government laid the foundation for economic prosperity for generations to come. Today, the post9/11 GI Bill, which provides updated educational resources to veterans of the wars in

White House on Sunday to oppose the pipeline, and celebrities including Seinfeld actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus have made videos urging to reject the pipeline. The State Department has authority over the project because it crosses a U.S. border. Environmental activist Bill McKibben, who led protests against the pipeline and was arrested in a demonstration earlier this year, said on Twitter that the protests had an effect on the Obama administration. A done deal has come spectacularly undone! he wrote. The Keystone XL pipeline would carry as much as 700,000 barrels of oil a day, doubling the capacity of an existing pipeline operated by TransCanada in the upper Midwest. Supporters say the pipeline to Texas could significantly reduce U.S. dependence on Middle Eastern oil while providing thousands of jobs. TransCanada said in a statement it was disappointed in the delay but confident that the project ultimately will be approved. The company has previously said a delay could cost millions of dollars and keep thousands of people of from getting jobs.

Iraq and Afghanistan and the Vow to Hire Heroes Act represent a new effort to thank this generation of veterans for their service and to give them the same opportunities afforded to prior generations of veterans. As a member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, I support providing our nations veterans with the resources and services they need. In addition to supporting enhanced education and job training benefits, I will continue to fight for assured funding for all VA health services and benefits. Funding for our veterans should always be a top federal priority. Each Nov. 11, we celebrate that story and history of our nations veterans. On Veterans Day, reach out to grandparents, parents, neighbors, and friends who have served and ask them about their service. From deployments to welcome home ceremonies, to medal presentations and parades, we learn about the courage, honor, and sacrifice exemplified by our servicemembers and veterans. From the newly-sworn in soldier and the children of military parents, to our veterans young and old, we learn about the greatness and history of our country. As the holidays approach, our thoughts and prayers are with those returning home as well as those still serving overseas. On behalf of a grateful state, I thank all Ohio veterans on this Veterans Day. Its an honor serving those who serve us.

Stallions rebound from slow start

jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

SPORTS

www.delphosherald.com

By JIM METCALFE

Columbus St. Francis deSales head man Ryan Wiggins had a lot of graduated starters to replace at the start of the 2011 gridiron year and a new offensive scheme. The Stallions (7-3) have come a long way since a 2-3 start to end up in the Region 10 semifinals versus Elida tonight at Clayton Northmont High School in their 18th appearance in the playoffs in 21 years. The one familiar face he could build on was tailback Warren Ball. He is committed to Ohio State and has over 1,100 yards rushing and 30 touchdowns. We changed to more of an I formation to get him the ball a lot more running downhill, especially on our

triple option, Wiggins noted. Coming into the season, we had a new quarterback, center and a couple more linemen, so he was one guy we knew we could count on. As weve adjusted to our new scheme and gained varsity experience we have a lot of seniors but that doesnt mean they have a lot of varsity experience we have become better. Our quarterback, Alex Perrine, has thrown for over 1,000 yards, and for us, with as run-oriented as we are, that is quite an accomplishment. We arent going to throw 40 passes in a game but he has matured into an efficient passer; last week, he went 9-of-11 for 155 yards (a 35-0 beatdown of Caledonia River Valley). We won the Central Catholic League again. Defensively, we only had four starters back but, again, once we gain experience at

Saville named SecondTeam All-HCAC BLUFFTON The Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference recently announced the All-HCAC honorees for the 2011 mens soccer season. Senior Dan Saville (Toledo/ Central Catholic) was tabbed as a second-team selection for his work at keeper this season. Saville played in all 18 matches for Bluffton, starting 17 of them. He stopped 105 shots this season, 12th on the Bluffton list for singleseason saves. He allowed just 2.69 goals per contest and put up one shutout against Anderson University. For his career, Saville started 31 of the 44 matches he played in and had a .721 career save percentage. He moved up to ninth all-time with his 199 career saves, finishing with a 2.46 goalsagainst average and four shutouts for his career. In conjunction with the All-HCAC selections, the conference also announced the All-HCAC Sportsmanship Team for the fall of 2011. Senior Andrew Keeler was selected to the AllSportsmanship Team from Bluffton. This award has been developed as part of a conference-wide sportsmanship initiative. Members of the AllHCAC Sportsmanship Team are selected by the coaches and their teammates as individuals who demonstrate the ideals of positive sportsmanship both on and off the field/ court of competition.

mens soccer team finished its 2011 campaign with a record of 2-16 overall and 1-8 in the HCAC. ---Trio of senior hitters named First-Team AllHCAC for Bluffton BLUFFTON Bluffton Universitys talented trio of senior hitters were all selected FirstTeam Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference following the 2011 volleyball campaign. Jenna Eshleman (Landisville, Penn./ Hempfield) took home her third first-team award, while Courtney Zimmerman (Leesburg/Fairfield) and Nicole Wood (Tiffin/ Hopewell-Loudon) both collected first-team honors for the second time. The three senior hitters will take over 3,000 career kills with them when they graduate in the spring. Junior Heather Schierer (Crescent Springs, Ky./St. Henry) was named honorable-mention AllHCAC for the second consecutive season. Eshleman, who was only the third volleyball player in Bluffton history to amass over 1,200 career kills and 1,300 digs, returned to form after having her front row time limited last season due to a shoulder injury. She slammed 382 kills while hitting .223 with 429 digs, 25 blocks and 31 service aces. Her 3.26 kills per-set in 2011 place her tied for 11th all-time. Eshlemans 382 kills leave her tied for 16th on the single-season list at Bluffton. As a testament

LOCAL ROUNDUP

this level of competition, we have made great strides. We especially did so with executing the fundamentals; for example, we got better at tackling. When you play the type of schedule we do our first five opponents all made the playoffs, even two that were out of state you have to do the little things correctly to have a chance and our inexperience was costly. Among leaders of that defense are top tackler Joe Leiberger (linebacker), end Aaron Millsop (leader in sacks and tackles for loss) and cornerback Jalen Noble. The top target outside on offense is Charles Chandler (4 TDs), a tall and athletic wideout. We have faced spread teams before but each one plays it a little different. However, I dont think weve faced one quite like Elidas,

he acknowledged. They are the most efficient weve seen at what they do. I dont think you can play against a quarterback like (Reggie) McAdams and expect to do just one thing all day. Some have suggested zone coverages, some the nickel and others man-to-man with pressure. Hes too good to come in with just one package. One, if you dont get pressure, he will pick you apart. At the same time, if you try to pressure all the time, he will adjust and hurt you that way, especially with the receivers he has. If you put too many in coverage and drop off the line, he will just take off. As best we can, we have to do a little bit of everything. Our offense needs to keep the ball, too, and keep him off the field. Kickoff at Good Samaritan Stadium is at 7:30 p.m.

Paterno gone but questions at Penn State remain

By NANCY ARMOUR The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. The most tumultuous week Penn State has ever endured is drawing to a close. Questions, however, still linger. Gov. Tom Corbett will be on hand today to help the board of trustees navigate a course through the turmoil from a child sex-abuse scandal that has engulfed the states largest university and led to the firing of the universitys legendary coach Joe Paterno. Corbett, an ex-officio member of the board, will participate in the regularlyscheduled trustees meeting, where a committee will be appointed to investigate the circumstances that led to the indictments of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, as well as two university officials. Its the first time the board has met publicly since forcing out Paterno and president Graham Spanier amid the unfolding child sex abuse scandal. Paterno and Spanier were fired Wednesday night, four days after a grand jury report charged Sandusky with a series of sexual assaults stretching back to the late 1990s. The grand jury report alleges Sandusky assaulted eight boys including one he allegedly raped in the universitys football facility shower. Much of the alleged inappropriate contact with seven victims happened on Penn States campus, where Sandusky maintained an office as an emeritus professor following his retirement. Authorities charged Sandusky met many of his alleged victims through The Second Mile, a charity for atrisk youth he founded in 1977. The indictment also charged the schools athletic director and a vice president with perjury and failure to report the assaults. Certainly every Pennsylvanian who has any knowledge of this case, who has read the grand jury report, feels a sense of regret and a sorrow to also see careers end, Corbett said after arriving on campus Thursday. Earlier in the day, Tom Bradley was introduced as interim head coach, marking the first time in almost a half-century the Nittany Lions have been guided by anyone other than Paterno. Were obviously in a very unprecedented situation, said Bradley, who was Paternos lead assistant for the last 11 seasons. I have to find a way to restore the confidence.

to her versatility, Eshleman racked up 15 of her 44 career double-doubles as a senior. Eshleman also leaves an indelible mark on the career record books at Bluffton. In addition to being a 4-time Player of the Week in the HCAC, she ranks second all-time with 2.82 kills per set. Her 1,222 kills put her fifth all-time and her 1,353 digs place her 13th overall. Eshleman stands eighth alltime with a .228 career hitting percentage. She was a first-team All-HCAC selection in 2008 and 2009 and earned HCAC tournament Most Valuable Player honors for leading Bluffton to the NCAA Regionals as a sophomore. Zimmerman came to Bluffton to play basketball but wound up as one of the top middle hitters in Bluffton volleyball history. She ended her 3-year career with the best hitting percentage in school history (.293). Zimmermans 2.26 kills per-set average is the 15th-best average for a career, while her 770 kills place her tied for 17th alltime. An imposing presence at the net, Zimmerman finished in the top 13 all-time for blocks (287 total) and blocks per set (.84). She pounded 254 kills and fired 21 aces this season. In addition, she stuffed the opposition with 28 solos and 70 block assists in 2011. Wood broke into the starting lineup as a freshman and got better each season, earning first-team All-HCAC honors for the second time. She was named honorable mention as a sophomore. Wood led the Beavers with 399 kills and a 3.35 kills per-set average

which was the sixth-best in Bluffton history. Her 399 kills place her 12th all-time. She added 47 blocks, 192 digs and 12 service aces this season. For her career, Woods 2.81 kills per set put her third behind Keri Kuhlman and Eshleman. She finished her career ninth on the career kills list with 1,083. Wood hit .230 during her four years as a starter, good for seventh on the career list. Schierer earned her second consecutive second-team award. She led the team with 582 digs (10th all-time) and 4.89 digs per set (11th all time). The versatile libero ignited Blufftons offense with her expert passing. After two seasons, Schierer ranks sixth all-time with 4.21 digs per set (948 career). She is also one of the Beavers top threats at the service line as she finished with 37 aces this season. Her .42 career aces per-set average is the fifthbest all time at Bluffton. Sophomore Lindsay Krohn (Marysville, Ind./New Washington) was selected to the All-Sportsmanship Team from Bluffton. The Lady Beavers fashioned their fourth consecutive 20-win season, finishing 22-11 overall and 7-2 in the Heartland Conference. When five teams from the HCAC went 7-2, Bluffton earned a share of its second HCAC championship in three years.

PLAYOFF GAMES

The committee has no timetable. And no shortage of questions to answer from how much Paterno actually knew to the future of his staff, including assistant coach Mike McQueary, who told Paterno but not police about seeing Sandusky in a shower with a young boy in 2002. McQueary, now the teams wide receivers coach, wont be present for the final home game of the season Saturday against Nebraska because of what the university said were multiple threats. We intend to be as responsible as we can and make whatever changes are necessary, board vice chair John Surma said. Sandusky, Paternos 1-time heir apparent, has been charged with molesting eight boys over 15 years. Athletic director Tim Curley and university vice president Gary Schultz have been charged with perjury and failure to report the 2002 assault to police, as required by state law. All three maintain their innocence. Paterno is not a target of the criminal investigation, having fulfilled his legal requirement by reporting what McQueary told him to Curley and Schultz. But the state police commissioner called Paternos failure to contact police or follow up on the incident a lapse in moral responsibility. Paterno has acknowledged that he should have done more but has not said why he didnt go to the police, nor whether he was aware of earlier alleged assaults. Aside from a few brief comments outside his house and two statements, Paterno has not spoken publicly since Sandusky was indicted. McQueary told the grand jury that he saw Sandusky sodomizing a boy of about 10 in the showers at the Penn State football building in March 2002. McQueary later told Paterno, Curley and Schultz, although it is not clear how detailed his description was. Schultz, in turn, notified Spanier. Curley and Schultz as well as Paterno testified that they were told that Sandusky behaved inappropriately in that 2002 incident but not to the extent of McQuearys graphic account to the grand jury. McQueary has not spoken publicly. His mother, Anne, told reporters Thursday they have been advised not to comment.

When it comes to changing course, ecclesiastical bureaucracies are like giant oceangoing vessels that struggle to turn quickly when obstacles appear in their paths. It took time, but the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has made a sea change in how it works on religious freedom issues. Faced with what they see as dangerous trends in the Obama administration, the bishops recently announced the creation of their own Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty. The goal is to address church-state trends that in recent decades have primarily been attacked by Protestant conservatives. Anyone seeking the source of this development in American religion -- including recent blasts at the White House by the archbishops of New York and Los Angeles -- needs to study a 2009 Georgetown University speech by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. It received relatively little attention at that time. Our human rights agenda for the 21st century is to make human rights a human reality and the rst step is to see human rights in a broad context, she said, speaking on a campus known for its leadership on the Catholic left. To fulll their potential, people must be free to choose laws and leaders; to share and access information; to speak, criticize and debate. They must be

On Religion
free to worship, associate and to love in the way that they choose. Conservatives cried foul, noting that the secretary of state had raised gay rights -- the right for all to love in the way that they choose -- to the same level as freedoms explicitly articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They also noticed that she mentioned a narrow right to worship instead of using more expansive terms such as religious freedom or liberty. Religious freedom, rightly understood, cannot be reduced to freedom of worship, argued George Weigel, a Catholic conservative best known for his authorized biography of the late Pope John Paul II. Religious freedom includes the right to preach and evangelize, to make religiously informed moral arguments in the public square and to conduct the affairs of ones religious community without undue inter-

ference from the state. If religious freedom only involves the freedom to worship, then ... there is religious freedom in Saudi Arabia, where Bibles and evangelism are forbidden but expatriate Filipino laborers can attend Mass in the U.S. embassy compound in Riyadh. Nearly two years later, this list of concerns looms over a blunt letter from New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan to President Barack Obama, one inspired by Obama administration attempts to overturn the national Defense of Marriage Act. Americas bishops cannot be silent ... when federal steps harmful to marriage, (to) the laws defending it and (to) religious freedom continue apace, claimed Dolan, who now leads the USCCB. It is especially unfair, he added, to equate opposition to redening marriage with either intentional or willfully ignorant racial discrimination, as your Administration insists on doing. Dolan was even more frank in a letter to the U.S. bishops, claiming that the Justice Department is undercutting our ancient Catholic belief, rooted in the teachings of Jesus and also the Jewish Scriptures. If this doctrine continues to be labeled as a form of bigotry, he argued, this will surely lead to new challenges to our liberties. In addition to clashes on same-sex mar-

riage, Dolan listed other concerns, including Health and Human Services regulations requiring all private health insurance to cover birth control and so-called morning-after pills. Critics claim that the religious exception would protect few religious institutions, including colleges, and would leave insurers or individuals with moral objections completely vulnerable. The Justice Department, in recent Supreme Court proceedings, also questioned the need for the ministerial exception that allows religious groups to hire, and re, ministers and staff members without government interference. According to Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez, We are slowly losing our sense of religious liberty in modern America. There is much evidence to suggest that our society no longer values the public role of religion or recognizes the importance of religious freedom as a basic right, he argued in an essay for the journal First Things. Instead, our courts and government agencies increasingly treat the right to hold and express religious beliefs as only one of many private lifestyle options. And, they observe, this right is often trumped in the face of challenges from competing rights or interests deemed to be more important.

Italian Senate approves economic reform bill

ROME (AP) Italys Senate approved crucial economic reforms demanded by the European Union today, the first step in paving the way for Premier Silvio Berlusconi to resign as early as this weekend and a transitional government to be formed. The 156-12 vote took place after respected economist Mario Monti widely expected to become the interim prime minister was welcomed with applause in the Senate chamber, where he was officially designated senator for life. Italys president bestowed the title on Monti two days earlier to signal to roiling financial markets that he intended to ask the 68-year-old former European commissioner to try to form a transitional government after Berlusconi leaves office. The reform legislation now passes to the lower Chamber of Deputies, which is expected to vote on it by Saturday. A Cabinet meeting has been scheduled immediately after the vote, leading to speculation that Berlusconi might tender his resignation to Italys president as early as Saturday night. While many politicians appeared to be rallying around Monti, divisions remained within Berlusconis party and among his allies over whether to support him and under what terms. The prospect of a government headed by the non-partisan Monti calmed markets for a second day, with Italys 10-year borrowing rate down a further 0.21 of a percentage point to 6.59 percent. The Milan stock index was up 1.7 percent. Markets took a battering this week on fears Italy was heading for a Greek-style economic crisis that would threaten the existence of the entire eurozone and cause a global recession. Uncertainty had also been fueled by political deadlock in Greece, where party leaders took days to name a new interim prime minister, former banker Lucas Papademos, and Standard & Poors accidental rating downgrade of France. The agency later retracted the downgrade report, claiming it had been sent by mistake. By the end of the tumultuous week, European markets were cautiously stable, though any improvements will depend on developments in Rome. Italy is under intense pressure to prove it has a strategy to deal with its debts, which stand at (euro) 1.9 trillion ($2.6 trillion), or a huge 120 percent of economic output. It has to rollover a little more than (euro)

300 billion of its debts next year alone. But economic growth is weak and the government failed to enact reforms to revive it over the past decade. With the eurozone and global economies at risk in the event of an Italian default, European governments are pushing Rome to clear up questions over its political leadership quickly. Well see, Berlusconi said Thursday evening when asked by reporters what the prospects were that his splintering People of Freedom party could back a broad coalition government. Transport Minister Altero Matteoli said today he still believed early elections were the best option despite widespread belief that a months-long electoral campaign was the last thing Italy needs right now. I dont believe markets should decide governments, he told Italys Sky TG24. In a moment of crisis it should be voters who decide the problems of a country.

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, NOV. 12, 2011 In the year ahead, theres a good chance you will be establishing a number of partnerships for special purposes, which is well and good, as long as everyone youre involved with can offer something that you cant provide. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -For the sake of prudence, spend only on essentials. Youll regret it if you dont scratch off your shopping list all the things and activities you cant afford and dont need. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be considerate of the desires of persons with whom youre involved. If you dont respect the majority rule and insist upon things being done your way, youll end up an outcast. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Where normally you might get away with disregarding certain duties and obligations, major complications could come your way if you do so now. Better stay on top of things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -You could cause quite a stir if you bank too heavily on unverified information that was passed on to you. Chances are itll be merely colorful talk meant for entertainment only. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Dont do yourself a grave injustice by thinking you have to embellish the facts in order to get others to think highly of you. If anyone perceives the truth, youll be embarrassed. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Both falsehood and flattery will be ineffective tools, and will get you nowhere if you try to use them for ulterior motives. The only thing that will make an impression is sincerity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Explore your financial expenditures carefully to see if you can do a better job managing them. Chances are youll find some wasteful spending that can be avoided in the future. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -You can be either a direct person who doesnt mince any words, or someone who will play the game and say what is expected of you. Today the latter will be more prevalent. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Its okay to be a bit self-indulgent, but only as long as you look out for the other guy who cant do so for himself, and never profit at the expense of another. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- This is one of those days when you need to be extra mindful that you dont come off as haughty or self-indulgent. It wont win you any friends or admiration. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Any urges you get to put on airs in hopes of making a favorable impression must be nipped in the bud. These forces come from your ego and will do you no good. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A slick, flamboyant purveyor might try to sell you one of his or her baubles that will be of no value to you or anybody else. Dont be taken in by a pitch of no substance.

11-11-11 brings hope for good luck around world

By MATT SEDENSKY Associated Press From China to New York, place your bets! Tie the knot! Make a wish! Today markes the 11th day of the 11th month of 2011. Around the world, people celebrated the triple convergence of 11s with a splash. Some 1,000 ethnic Chinese couples exchanged vows across Malaysia on a date viewed as auspicious and romantic. In China, a special 1111 train started at 11:11 a.m. on the No. 11 line in Shanghai. The numbers rhyme with one husband, one wife and one soul in Chinese and signifies a marriage that would last a lifetime, said nurse Pua Kim Giok, 25, who tied the knot with engineer Lee Chin Siong, 27. They were among 460 couples who got married at the popular Thean Hou Temple in Kuala Lumpur. Not everyone was smiling, however. Egypts antiquities authority closed the largest of the Great Pyramid of Giza following rumors that groups would try to hold spiritual ceremonies on the site at 11:11. In the U.S., the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, N.J., was planning drawings every 11 minutes for up to $1,111. In Las Vegas, Clark County Clerk Diana Alba got ready for an onslaught of weddings. She was expecting the number of couples to surpass the crowd on 08/08/08 and equal the throng on 10/10/10. It may not, however, reach the turnout seen on Bryan Savage of Oklahoma City July 7, 2007 a date that consists of three The authoritys head Mustafa Amin said lucky sevens. in a statement today that the pyramid of That was like the granddaddy of all Khufu, also known as Cheops, would be dates, Alba said. closed until Saturday morning for necesBryan Savage of Oklahoma City was sary maintenance. among those tying the knot on 11-11.

any fees he collects from delivering babies today. In Bellevue, Wash., Jason Brown will open his new grocery store at 11:11 a.m. Vikki MacKinnon, a numerologist in Calgary, Ontario, said she expected the day to be a cosmic wake-up call. Eleven is a number of illumination and enlightenment, a number of insight, blinding flashes of the obvious, and a number of transformation, she said. The Chinese have always had a fascination with number sequences. And in a country where ages of first marriages are creeping upward, the 11/11/11 date represents six bare sticks, a term for bachelors in Chinese. And there are now more of them, with housing prices, focus on jobs and growing independence of young women meaning people are getting married later. Its just difficult for men to afford the housing prices nowadays, and traditionally in China that is the responsibility of the man his family. I feel a lot of pressure from this, said Zheng An, a 26-year-old employee at a solar company in Shanghai.

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. Today, Sheila Barnett and Melissa Patrick will walk down an aisle and stand in front of a giant, crescent-shaped window at the Crowne Plaza in Manhattan, look each other in the eyes and say, I do. The same-sex couple from Florida was one of 11 couples to win the hotels Marry Me 11-11-11 Wedding Contest on Facebook, which gave away dream weddings on that once-ina-century day thats supposed to be lucky for love: Nov. 11, 2011. Yet as Barnett and Patrick packed their nearly identical dresses for the ceremony (Patrick will wear white, Barnett, purple), they tried not to think about one fact: when they return home, their marriage wont be legal in Florida. I dont like it, said Patrick, who sat in her living room on a recent day with her arm around her fiancei. Same-sex unions arent recognized under Florida law. In 2008, Florida voters amended the states constitution to define marriage as a union only between one man and one woman. A gay rights group is sponsoring legislation in the upcoming session to provide domestic partnership benefits to committed same-sex couples in the state. A same-sex couple from New York and another from Ohio also won the contest. Ohio has an amendment similar to the one passed in Florida, but gay marriage is legal in New York. The state also recognizes unions from other states. The couples flew to New York on Wednesday. On Thursday, everyone was to rehearse for the ceremony and then tour the city. Barnett and Patrick, who are both 37, havent always been in same-sex relationships and are reluctant to identify themselves as lesbians, saying that their love blindsided both of them. Barnett was in a relationship with the same man for 20 years married for many of them and Patrick had a longterm relationship with a man. Both have children from those prior relationships. I fell in love with a person, for who she is and everything about her, Barnett said. Not because she was a female. Said Patrick: Love doesnt discriminate, Ill tell you that. Youre able to fall in love with anyone if its right. The two women met 20 years ago in high school and played on the softball team together. They were friends, but nothing more. After graduating, Patrick moved to Indianapolis and became a firefighter. They kept in touch throughout the years and in 2010, Patrick visited Florida on vacation. She and Barnett spent every day together, and when it was time for Patrick to leave, they both cried. When she left it was one of the saddest days of my life, said Barnett, who is a hairdresser. Something was going on, but I didnt know what it was. The couple dated long distance, and then Patrick quit her job as a firefighter and moved to Florida so they could be together. They initially planned to hold a commitment ceremony in the summer of 2012, but a friend told them about the Crowne Plaza contest a few months ago. Two women, true love, awesome story and its just that simple, they wrote. They asked friends and family to vote for their entry, and were chosen in October. Steve Ward, a matchmaker who also is the star of VH1s Tough Love show, will perform the ceremony today. The hotel will serve a lavish lunch and provide plum-and-white flower bouquets or corsages, along with wedding photos and video. As part of the promotion, every couple stays at the hotel free and was able to invite 10 friends or relatives. Patrick and Barnett spent the past week getting ready for the trip: having their nails done in an identical French manicure with black heart details on their ring fingers, buying winter clothes and deciding where to visit once they get to the city. Barnett has never been to the Big Apple. She wants to go purse shopping, Patrick said of her fiancei. I want to visit Ground Zero and eat some New York pizza.
