DELPHOS
The
50 daily www.delphosherald.com By NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS A large crowd waited through back-to-back executive sessions of Delphos City Council Monday evening. Councilman Kevin Osting called the first executive session for the discussion of contracts and wages with council and Mayor Michael Gallmeier attending. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist called the second for discussion of contract negotiations with council, Law Director Clayton Osting, Berquist and the mayor in attendance. Once back in regular session, Council Clerk Marsha Mueller read correspondence from Diane Pack, a Delphos medic. It read: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Berquist and city council members, You have stated that the Delphos EMS would not be affected by the layoffs of the fire department. I would like to take this opportunity to explain to you how incorrect this statement is and how devastating these layoffs of our firemen will indeed be to the Delphos EMS. With only one fireman on duty instead of two, there is the possibility that we will have no first responder. This means that when a citizen has a heart attack, instead of our firemen arriving on scene in three to five minutes, the citizen will instead wait between 15-20 minutes for the arrival of an ambulance. After six minutes of no oxygen to the brain, this citizen will either be deceased or left with permanent and irreversible brain

Letter from EMT gives sobering effects of layoffs

damage. This, of course, is just one example. Our firemen are on the scene of an EMS call 12-15 minutes before the ambulance arrives. They have the scene safe for us to enter, secured and under control. They have any bleeding controlled, oxygen on the patient and vital signs obtained. When necessary, they have CPR started as well. They are able to radio to the ambulance crew and let us know what equipment to bring in or have set up and ready upon our arrival. This is called the tier system and has been proven to be the most effective in saving lives and providing the highestquality patient care. Given the number of elderly residents in Delphos, in addition to all our children, one would think that keeping our fire and EMS as it is now, effectively saving lives, would be a priority. By reducing the number of our firemen, the potential for our citizens to die while waiting on the arrival of an ambulance is greatly increased. Imagine that citizen is you, or a loved one. Would you rather wait three minutes or 15 minutes for emergency medical services? At times, in severe cases, the ambulance crew needs another set of hands. If we are short -staffed or if there is no advanced EMT or paramedic in the ambulance, the firefighter will go on the squad run with the EMS crew. With no first response, we may not be able to staff an ambulance in all situations. The layoffs at the fire department will cost us our only two firefighter/paramedics. This leaves the city with only three paramedics on the EMS side and zero on the fire side. One of our medics is only able to work midnight to 6 a.m. five days a week and limited hours throughout the day and evening on the weekends. Another only works from 6 p.m. to midnight a few nights a week. The third works a limited amount of shifts throughout the week. The citizen who has a cardiac-related emergency will be lucky to time his or her emergency properly so that one of these three medics will be available to administer cardiac medications. EMT basics and EMT advanced, our other two levels of EMS personnel, are not able to provide advanced cardiac are or administer these cardiac drugs. See COUNCIL, page 12

DELPHOS The Delphos City Finance Committee held a short meeting following the regular council meeting Monday. Committee members were given six different variations of a the 2014 budget by Safety Service Director Greg Berquist to go over. If you have any questions, please email me and include the other members so everyone knows what was asked and I will answer to all of you, Berquist said. I need guidance from council as to what to do and what direction to go. The variations include the recent staff reductions, furloughs, cuts in seasonal employees and health care costs. City Auditor Tom Jettinghoff reported he had made contact with the Ohio Water Development Authority about deferring the loan payment on the wastewater treatment plant. He said the OWDA had a few questions for him, which he answered, and he had not heard back. Jim Knebel asked if the current figures for the General Fund, Water Fund and Wastewater Fund were available. Jettinghoff said those numbers would be generated at the end of the month and provided at the first meeting in November. Rural resident Brenda Hoersten questioned cuts to the fire department and police department and throwing more money at the wastewater treatment plant. You guys are just approving more and more money to the plant thats only six or seven years old and you dont even know if its going to fix it, she said. We are just throwing more money into what I think is a money pit and not addressing the elephant in the room. Where is the dialog? It seems this side chit chats and this side doesnt know whats going on. Sandy Wilhem also spoke. So weve seen the problem; what are we going to do about it? she asked. Councilman Josh Gillespie asked how many employees take advantage of the health care plan offered by the city and was told there are 43. Finance Committee President Joe Martz asked for any questions on the six budget proposals and added that if anyone felt the need to have additional Finance Committee meetings to contact him.
Former paper boy Holden recounts friendships

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Back in 1944, when Jack Holden was a sprite 12-year-old, he and the other paper boys spent countless hours folding papers in the basement of the Delphos Herald. My friend, Jim McKowen, and I folded papers together, Holden said. All the paper boys went around the back of the building and down the steps to the basement to fold papers. Sometimes the press would break down and they would have to wait on papers, so they would play ball out back. Holden said he delivered papers in the her accepted position. Club members began preparing for the upcoming holiday season by finalizing the clubs Christmas Tree theme, which will be miniature plastic clay pots and watering cans brought into the meeting by Treasurer Karen Hartman. In addition, dried flowers like Hydrangea and Statice and decorated pine cones will be used to create ornaments for the tree, which will be on display at the Canal Commission this year. Christmas Tree Committee member Laura Roach said the Canal Commission will notify the club when to bring in the tree and set it up in the museum. We will decorate it sometime in the early part of November, Roach stated. Also, the club has been invited by Gary Levitt to hold its annual Christmas party at the Postal Museum, which will be on Dec. 11 and catered by a local restaurant. The buffet-style dinner will include chicken, Swiss steak, mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables and a salad bar. See GREEN, page 12

evening by bicycle on Route K, which encompassed South Main Street down Suthoff and into the country on Route 66. I delivered about 40 papers every day, Holden said. The weather never stalled us. When it poured, we waited and when it snowed, I still rode my bicycle. Holden said that Saturday delivery included collecting money for subscriptions from his customers. When they paid their subscriptions, he would hole-punch a card with the customers information on it to show they paid. It was important to have a job; it was just enjoyable working with my friends, Holden reminisced. See PAPER BOY, page 12

SPENCERVILLE Spencerville Police Chief Darin Cook told village council Monday of resident sightings of coyotes prowling around in the daytime and one was close enough to a house to eat from a dog food bowl. He said seeing them in the daytime is alarming and they will attack small dogs and cats. Residents need to be cautious about leaving small children out in the yard unsupervised, Cook warned. These animals are sick or hungry. Cook says the plan is to put snares in the ditches to capture and destroy them. The police department has been running on a skeleton crew. With both full-time officers absent, Cook is the only full-time officer manning the department. I have a lot of vacation time coming and I should not have to forfeit the time, Cook said. Cook also reported the police vehicles are in need of service and the department will not be responding to calls fires or EMS outside the village. One has a check engine light on which may be a sensor light and the other is being prepared for winter, he detailed. Village Administrator Sean Chapman reported that he is looking for a new contract administrator for the Wastewater Treatment Project. During the Oct. 7 council meeting, Chapman asked council to consider passing/accepting change order 2G from Kirk Brothers Construction which changes the scope of the Water Treatment Project. Councilman Miller first referred to a motion he had made at the Aug. 5 council meeting where he moved to move forward with Richard Kirks proposal and with some thought, we need to figure a scope of work to keep CT Consultants on as contract administrator.

WASHINGTON (AP) Doctors may soon have two new drug options for patients with hepatitis C, just as the liver-destroying virus becomes a major public health concern for millions of baby boomers. The Food and Drug Administration holds a public meeting this week to review two experimental medications from Johnson & Johnson and Gilead Sciences. The new drugs, if approved, could offer a quicker, more effective approach to eliminating hepatitis C, a blood-borne disease blamed for 15,000 deaths in the U.S. this year. In a review posted online Tuesday, the FDA reported that J&Js drug simeprevir has a slightly higher cure rate than currently available treatments, though it also caused rashes and sunburn in some patients. On Thursday, the FDA will ask a panel of outside experts whether the drug should carry warnings about rashes and sunburn on its label. The agency is not required to follow the panels advice, though it often does. The meeting comes at a time when federal health officials are urging baby boomers to get tested for the virus, which can go unnoticed for decades before causing symptoms.

Elida council addresses campaign sign issue

BY CYNTHIA YAHNA DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com ELIDA Concerns about election campaign signs dominated the Elida Village Council meeting Tuesday. Council member Chris McNamara brought up the signs. I have people coming to me complaining about the campaign signs that are in the rights of way and in vacant lots, McNamara said. Mayor Ron Klopfenstein said campaigners are not allowed to put the signs on the rights of way. Village Administrator Scott Fessler re-iterated the zoning laws prohibiting the signs in those areas and said he will take a tour around the village and make some phone calls. McNamara added that she is still working on the donations for the cookies that will be provided for the annual Halloween festival. I have prices from a bulk supplier and they are close to what we paid at the supermarket, which would be $20 more, she said. Council approved McNamara going forward with purchasing the cookies from the bulk supplier. Fessler also reported he received the final plaque for the dedication of Bulldog Boulevard and North Street from Elida Local Schools. The pay ordinance for the Elida village for the month of October totaled to $72,713.12. Fiscal Officer Janet Bonifas said she was preparing the pay ordinance for the year end and wanted to let the council members know she will be putting together a packet and when they receive it to look it over.

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com Committee report and said things have been quiet. At last months meeting, Brown reported a resident, who lives on Main Street, has been refusing to pay a water bill and although he reports he is moving, the property is still in his name and he is responsible for the bill. Police Chief Ethyl Vaughn said that she has hand-delivered the water bill to the resident explaining that they have to pay the water bill until they sell the property. The resident has also been cited for junk cars. The Main Street house is collecting more cars and more junk, Brown said. Smith advised Vaughn to meet with the resident and point out and explain all the violations, take pictures, write it all down and have him sign the paper. Ill have him sign and date it, Vaughn stated. Hell have 10 days . Well just follow up with the court, Smith said. Smith also gave Vaughn
a directive about upcoming school sporting events. Start working the schedule for boys and girls basketball games, Smith said. Get with Todd Hoehn. Most games are out around 9 p.m. and start at 6 p.m. Park Board Vice President Kari Amstutz said the 2014 Park Giveaway will start Nov. 1. Tickets and a mailer to be sent out are in process, Amstutz said. Proceeds from the 2013 Giveaway and Fort Fest will be used for the concession stand at the park. Smith reported that a contractor has been hired to complete the electrical work connecting the water pumps to the existing wiring at the pole at the concession stand. Once the electrical is connected, the Lions will complete the remaining work pouring concrete as long as the weather permits, Smith said. See VILLAGE, page 12

Dancer By Gina hosted world famous clogger Delohn Collins on Oct. 13. (Submitted photo) Collins has been featured on Pepsi and Mountain Dew cans and headlined in Vegas for two years. Gina Wiley, owner of The Dancer By Gina, met All That! at a clogging conference right before they competed on Americas Got Talent in 2012. She brought Collins to Delphos to teach three levels of classes, beginner through advanced, with students ranging from grades 1-12. Challenging new steps and variations on traditional steps were taught to the dancers accapella and later rehearsed to music. Wiley told the girls that Lebron James and basketball is like All That! in the clog world.

Family plans to celebrateHoney Ham Timothys birthday

Kretschmar
BY LOVINA EICHER October 18 - today - is Elizabeths friend Timothys birthday. Happy birthday wishes go to him! We were going to take supper to Timothys house tonight but told him its easier if he would come here instead. Daughter Elizabeth didnt have to work today so we are going to try to make an ice cream cake for Timothy. We have never tried it before so hopefully it will turn out okay. Also on our menu will be either fried or barbecued chicken. Im not sure what else we will have yet. Bow season has been in for a while now. This is the first year my husband Joe has tried bow hunting. He hasnt had time to go too often yet but hopes to go tomorrow. Tomorrow is the Eicher reunion on Joes dads side. Money-wise we will be unable to attend. It will be in Berne, Ind., at a community building. With gas prices being high it makes the prices go up for us when we hire drivers. We had to buy our coal for the winter or at least some of it, making things a little tight right now with money. We attended this reunion three years ago. My husband Joe started working five days at the factory again this week which will help out a lot. We cant complain as God gives us many blessings. How thankful we can be to have a place to live and plenty of food in the house. It makes us appreciate it all the more. One Sunday afternoon, we recently walked back to see where Joe and the boys set up his tree stand in our neighbors woods. It was an interesting nature walk. It is a little bit hilly but Joe and the boys cleared a nice path to walk. Loretta, 13, has a hard time getting up the hills. Benjamin, 14, and Joseph, 11, hooked arms with her on either side and helped her get up the hilly areas. They also helped her get up in Joes tree stand, which is 15 feet high. She was glad to be able to Save $3.42 on 2 sit up there awhile although she was worn out until we came back home. Things the rest of us take for granted are so hard for her to do. Do we appreciate our good health enough? Having handicapped children makes you notice others with disabilities a lot more and be able to feel for them.

With school, social activities, and the other things that keep you busy, sleep may be the last thing you worry about. Sleep deprivation (lack of adequate sleep) often begins around age 12 or 13 and remains a problem during the teen years. Biological changes during puberty can cause sleep patterns to change. Teenagers tend to be more alert at night and to sleep later in the morning. People between the ages of 9 and 14 usually need nine or 10 hours of sleep every night. Many get much less than that. Some teen-agers (and adults) are so used to being sleepdeprived that they dont even know they have a problem. If youre used to getting by on a few hours sleep, you may think sleep deprivation is no big deal. But doing without sleep has consequences. Not only does a sleepy person feel irritable and tired, he or she also has trouble concentrating, completing tasks, and using good judgment. In lab studies, severe sleep deprivation has led to hallucinations (seeing or hearing imaginary things or people) and delusions (mistaken ideas about whats real). Sleep deprivation can affect your relationships with friends and family, your grades, and your overall health. Getting enough sleep is just as important as good nutrition and exercise in helping you look and feel your best.
ATTENTION DELPHOS Who needs sleep? HERALD READERS

Look for pictures in your newspaper of people who work at night (examples: police officers, nurses). See who can find the most examples of these night owls. Keep a sleep chart for two weeks. Keep track of the time you went to bed every night and the time you got up the next morning. How many hours of sleep did you average for the entire two week period? Do you think youre getting enough sleep? How can you tell?

Tips to help you sleep

Get enough exercise. If you get 20 to 30 minutes of exercise at least three times a week, youll sleep better. (But dont exercise right before bed.) Dont drink too many sodas or eat too much chocolate. Caffeine can keep you awake. Eat a filling, nutritious meal early in the evening. Try to unwind before going to bed by reading, taking a bath, or doing some other quiet activity. If youre upset or worried about something, try talking it over with someone well before bedtime. Stress can prevent you from sleeping well. Try to go to bed at the same time every night.

Kalida boys grind down Rangers in Districts

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com KALIDA The stats may have been one-sided between Kalida and New Knoxville in Tuesdays afternoons Division III boys soccer sectional at Kalida Soccer Stadium. Still, the Rangers stayed within striking distance before the deeper Wildcats wore them down 3-0. The Wildcats had a pair of offerings against Ranger (5-11-2) keeper Dean Frankenberg (6 saves against 9 shots ongoal officially) Ian Richey and Drvin Kortokrax that the senior stopped. However, the Maroon and White broke through at 24:31 of the first half. Off a scramble in front of the net, Kortokrax got control of the orb and put it barely past the keeper from eight yards in the center for a 1-0 edge. The Rangers had an effort at 14:10 when Ryan Lageman let loose from 20 yards but the try was over the top. Kalida had few other efforts the rest of the half against a defensive-minded New Knoxville crew but at 2:17, Adam Langhals got behind the defense but Frankenberg came out to stop the ball before a kick was made; and with 33 ticks left, when Richey got a solid look from 24 yards on the right post but missed wide. We got a little frustrated as a coaching staff and as players. We were controling the possession but New Knoxville was playing their last line a lot deeper that we anticipated, Kalida mentor Mark Czubik noted. We wanted to be more aggressive and attacking in the final third but because of their defensive strategy, we seemed tentative and werent as aggressive as we would have liked. New Knoxville coach Tony Hunt fel pretty good about his teams performance. To only be down 1-0 against a fine Kalida team was a great effort on our parts, Hunt explained. We knew we had to defend well because we werent going to score a lot against them. Defense has been our focus all season; we work a lot on it during practice because we know that is how we can stay with teams and we executed well today. Kalida continued to have its way in the second half but struggled to take advantage, even as they amassed 13 corner kicks for the match. Brandon Verhoff had a 1-touch off a corner kick at 35:06 that was knocked away by a Ranger defender. At 28:07, Luke Langhals had a good look from 16 yards but Frankenberg deflected it and finally got control. The Rangers had their only real look at the goal at 27:10 as Alex Lehman fired one from near midfield that forced Brent Hovest to make a stop. The Knoxville keeper denied Kortokrax

Lady Beavers fall in soccer OT

By Ryan Schadewald Sports information assistant NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. - The Bluffton University womens soccer team suffered a tough 3-2 overtime loss on Tuesday as they hit the road to North Manchester, Ind., to take on the top team in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, the Manchester University Spartans. After senior forward Megan Moreo (Spencerville/ Delphos Jefferson) tied the match with less than seven minutes remaining to force overtime, the home team netted the match-winning goal with just over a minute to play in the first extra session. With the win, the Spartans improved to 9-6-1 and 5-1 in HCAC play. The Beavers fell to 4-8 overall and 2-4 in the Heartland Conference. After the first half ended in a scoreless tie, the Beavers kicked off the scoring in the 49th minute as freshman midfielder Kristen Tropf (Findlay/ Van Buren) buried her team-leading ninth goal of the season for a 1-0 lead. The Spartans did not take long to respond, however, as Brandy Krousse scored her eighth goal of the season in the 56th minute, with the assist from Katelyn Barta. Just five minutes later, junior Amber Kent scored her second of the season for the Spartans to give them their first lead of the contest. It would take nearly 30 minutes for the Beavers but Moreo broke through to tie the match with her third goal of the season from fellow senior Aimee Whitmer (Grand Rapids/ Otsego). However, despite getting three shots in the first three minutes of the overtime period, they could not find the back of the net before Barta capitalized, giving the home team a 3-2 win. The stats showed just how even the two teams played
from 28 yards at 18:30. However, the deeper Wildcats finally got to the Rangers at 7:08. On a 25-yard direct kick from the left side, Richey went high side to the right and made it 2-0. I think we finally wore them down late. Once we got that second goal, we could breathe again, Czubik added. To me, the key to our play was our defender, Logan Roebke, against their lone forward, Caleb Yeatts. He was the one we were concerned about because of his size but Logan took him off the ball a number of times. He played very well. Richey got loose at 6:11 but the keeper came out and knocked away a 12-yarder. Frankenberg got another stop at 2:51 on a 28-yarder by Kortokrax. The host team tacked on the finale at 1:52. Off a corner kick from the right side, Kortokrax launched a perfect pass to the middle to Brandon Verhoff, whose 10-yard header found its target. We stayed with them for 73 minutes. You know when you play a PCL team that they will be big and physical and you have to battle, Hunt added. We did that but they finally got to us. We arent as deep as they are and they wore us down. Kalida (13-2-3) advance to play Lima Central Catholic a 2-1 victor (4-2 in penalty kicks) over Miller City in Tuesdays nightcap at 3 p.m. Saturday for the District title.
NASCAR call to throw caution isnt even a debate

By JENNA FRYER Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. A day after a caution froze the field on the final lap at Talladega Superspeedway, a caller complained to SiriusXM NASCAR radio hed been robbed of his right to see a race to the finish line. The gripe could not have been more off base. In a season that will be remembered for a rash of driver injuries, not throwing a caution would have been negligent of NASCAR. Denny Hamlin missed four races this year with a fractured vertebra and Michael Annett was out three months with a fractured sternum. Tony Stewart, who broke his leg in a sprint car crash, has been sidelined since August and underwent a third surgery earlier this month. Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti was just released from a hospital last week after fracturing two vertebrae, his right ankle and suffering a nasty concussion in an Oct. 6 IndyCar race,and a crash in Saturday nights season finale left Justin Wilson hospitalized with a pelvic fracture. So when Austin Dillons car went airborne on the last lap Sunday, just when fans were holding their breath waiting for a mad dash to the checkered flag, NASCAR had no choice but to throw the caution after Dillons car came back down to the track and was tagged hard by Casey Mears. The safety for our drivers and our fans is the most important thing to us, NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said Monday. There comes a time when you see what happens on the race track to move safety equipment and attend to the drivers involved. That this is even being discussed and there are people complaining about NASCARs decision is appalling. It was just a day earlier that the Truck Series race ended with a 12-vehicle crash that saw Miguel Paludo flip upside down and Kyle Busch take a massive hit to the inside wall at Talladega. Darrell Wallace Jr. admitted afterward that the wreck scared the hell out of me. Man, it makes you want to go 10 miles under the speed limit in your regular car because pushing 200 or whatever were doing and wrecking it hard, Id die (doing this often), the 19-year-old added. Thats scary. Im freaking myself out again. I just couldnt breathe. And what did Busch say after the race? You know when you see the checkered flag and you see things going on in front of you, you just keep your foot on it and I drove it all the way to the startfinish (line), Busch said. Hes absolutely right. Drivers dont get off the gas with the finish in sight, not even when another car is sailing over the top of them. Its on NASCAR to back them down and at Talladega, where the scramble to the finish line is always chaotic, NASCAR did the absolute right thing on Sunday. To some fans, this wasnt fair or consistent. Dillon wasnt hurt and was able to drive his car back to the garage. After Mears hit him, it appeared the rest of the pack cleared the accident scene and
as the Spartans outshot the Beavers by just one, 18-17. Senior goalkeeper Maggie Armstrong (Vevay, Ind./ Switzerland) was in net for the loss and picked up six saves for Bluffton. The Beavers will hit the road again this Saturday as they take on the Franklin College Grizzlies, who currently sit at 8-4 overall but are just a half-game ahead of the Beavers in the HCAC standings. Oct. 29, the Bluffton women will return home to start off rivalry week when they take on the Defiance College Yellow Jackets at the Sears Complex. Kickoff is currently set for 4 p.m.!

could have raced on without coming into contact with Dillon. Most important, though, was that it was Dale Earnhardt Jr. in second place and patiently waiting to attempt a lastlap pass of Jamie McMurray for the win. When the caution came out, the field was frozen and now nobody will ever know what Junior had up his sleeve. It doesnt matter. This isnt a blood sport, drivers arent Roman gladiators and there comes a time when a race is simply over. I think there are people who fail to see the danger in race car driving anymore, Wilson said Monday from his hospital bed in California. But weve lost some drivers and quite a few people have been hurt. Maybe it isnt as safe as we think it is? These days it does take more of a freak accident to get injured but we cant forget the protocol of what to do in those situations, whether its Daytona when fans get injured or Talladega when a car takes off and gets hit pretty hard when it lands. Theyve got to stick to the protocol in looking after drivers and fans. Stewarts injury in a sprint car crash was yet another blow this year to a community that had already lost NASCAR driver Jason Leffler in a June accident in New Jersey and Kramer Williamson, who died from injuries suffered in an accident in Pennsylvania the day before Stewarts wreck. Last week was the 2-year anniversary of Dan Wheldons death in the 2011 IndyCar season finale. Stewart, a 3-time NASCAR champion, became somewhat consumed with sprint car safety following his accident, vowing to be part of the process to lift the black cloud hanging over the sport.

Elida boys advance in Division II soccer

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DEFIANCE The weather was rainy and chilly in the Elida/Defiance boys soccer matchup Monday night in Division II sectional action at the Defiance High School soccer pitch. The Dawgs didnt seem to mind as they secured the upper-bracket sectional title with a 5-0 triumph over host Defiance. Our style of play is a possession game anyway and we did that tonight, Elida coach Tom Thomas noted. We want to move the ball and keep it at our feet. When we do that, we are at our best. We work well together and we create chances, while forcing the opponent to play our tempo. Elida (11-4-2) had the first shot on-goal of the match at 35:43 of the opening half when Shawn Ezell launched a 12-yarder but Defiance (2-16) keeper Juan Montez (11 saves against 19 shots) got the save. He could not at 32:03. Jerod Houston set it up with a lead pass to Adam Ordel on the left side, where the junior fired a 14-yarder from the left wing to the right side of the cords for a 1-0 edge. The Bulldogs (2-16) had their first shot on-goal at 31:20 when Ricky Sheffel had an 8-yard header stuffed by Elida keeper Garrett Brinkman (4 saves vs. 7 shots). Defiance had another scoring chance at 19:30 when Warren Wall had a try from the left wing but Brinkman came out and forced a wide shot. Elida, especially Houston and Ordel, kept the pressure on the offensive attack and made it 2-0 at 15:38. Off a throw-in from the left side by Ezell, he eventually got the orb back and made a great individual effort, splitting the defense and getting a 1-on-1 with the keeper; Montez came out and got a piece of the 12-yarder but the ball trickled in to the right side of the net. At 15:06, the Dawgs nearly made it 3-0; Ezell fired a 14-yard shot from the left wing that the keeper deflected and Gunner Braun was in the doorstep of the right post but missed on the putback. At 11:40, Defiance had another chance on a 20-yarder by James Bauer but Brinkman got the save. The Orange and Black did make it 3-0 at 5:37. Off a 3-on-2 break, Logan Frysinger fed Ordel from the right side to the post, where a 1-touch from eight yards found its mark. Montez made a diving stop of a 12-yarder by Riley Overholt at 4:16 but he could not stave off the fourth goal of the half. At 1:44, Houston fired from the top of the 18 and found the left side of the net. Defiance had a last scoring chance at 2:55 on a 23-yarder by Kyle Lacey but a defender got in the way of the blast. Defiance did have the first shot of the second half a 22-yarder by Justin Pasterz but Brinkman was up to the challenge. Elida almost added the fifth tally at 24:40 but a 23-yarder by Houston hit off the left post. The match became increasingly chippy as the play wore on, with a couple of yellow cards assessed. At 22:14, Elida was called for a foul in the box, resulting in a penalty kick. Devin Leitner had the honors but hit the crossbar; the follow shot was wide. The Dawgs, who had one effort at 27:14 by Ezell denied by Montez and a second at 25:05 by Overholt that missed just over the bar, got their own PK at 17:38 when a foul was called on Defiance in the box. A.J. Siefker had the honors and he went to the right side; Montez deflected it but it bounced to the left post, ricocheted off and went in. Defensively, we were solid. We kept our shape and didnt give them a lot of open looks, Thomas added. Part of that is, again, how we play offensively. At our best, we are controlling the ball and limiting our opponents touches in their offensive end. Elida will tangle with Shawnee at 5 p.m. today at Elida. Elida hit us quick. It could have been worse; we sacrificed some offense to try and keep them from scoring more the second half because we knew we couldnt outscore them, Defiance coach Eric Burns noted. We will lose a number of seniors but we started six sophomores all season; Im excited to see how much they develop in the off-season. The nightcap will feature Bryan a 6-0 victor over Ottawa-Glandorf in the late match at Defiance Monday night versus St. Marys Memorial.

Great wide receivers dot the Big Ten this season

BY RUSTY MILLER Associated Press COLUMBUS A lot of people are down on the Big Ten. But they certainly cant be down on the receiving talent in the league. Between Jared Abbrederis at Wisconsin, Allen Robinson at Penn State and Michigans Jeremy Gallon along with several other standouts, including Ohio States Corey Brown and Devin Smith this is a banner year for wide-outs in the Big Ten. Gallon, overlooked by many heading into the season, set a conference record last week with 369 yards receiving (the second-most in Football Bowl Subdivision) on 14 receptions in the Wolverines win over Indiana. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer had to plan around Abbrederis a few weeks back and now he must deal with Robinson heading into Saturdays 8 p.m. start against the Nittany Lions at Ohio Stadium. Ive seen the one were playing this week (Robinson). The game he had against our rivals was fantastic, Meyer said Tuesday on the Big Ten coaches teleconference. A very fast, talented guy who goes up and (catches) the ball. Robinson had five catches for 84 yards (and Gallon had seven for 95 with a touchdown) in Penn States 43-40 win over Michigan in a conference-record four overtimes two weeks ago. Meyer said WR might have the best players in the conference. I nominated Abbrederis for a bunch of postseason awards. When I got to see him live and in color, he was a tremendous player, he said. I think those are future NFL players that were getting to face, really, almost every week. Theyre very good players. SCOUTING THE NITS: Penn State (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) enters Saturday nights game as an enigma. The Nittany Lions have a couple of good wins, coming off the win over Michigan in the longest game ever played in the conferences 118 seasons. Then again, they were humiliated at Indiana the week before (Oct. 5), 44-24. The running game has been sporadic, failing to total more than 85 yards in three of the six games. Freshman QB Christian Hackenberg has been a revelation, leading the Big Ten in completions (132) and passing yards per game (279). His favorite target, Robinson, already has 43 catches for 705 yards (16.4 per catch) and five TDs. On defense, the Lions have been solid against the run (seventh in the nation at 92.4 yards a game) but leaky against the pass (241 yards a game, tied for 78th in the nation). QUOTABLE: Ohio State CB Doran Grant on taking a risk by jumping a route to pick off a pass: Our coach (Kerry Coombs) calls it the backdoor slider. Youre waiting for the backdoor slider, then youve got to react and make a

play. WORKING THE OFF WEEK: Penn State had a bye week last Saturday. In fact, the Nittany Lions have had two byes in the last four weeks. Coach Bill OBrien wasnt crazy about having to start and stop so frequently in a short span. It is unusual to have two bye weeks (in four weeks). Its not something at the end of the day that youd like (because you want) to keep playing eventually, he said. He said a lot of planning went into what the team and staff would do last week. This bye week was used a little bit differently than the first one in the fact that the big goal of this bye week was to get our guys healthy, so we probably rested our first- and second-team guys a little bit more in this bye week and did a little bit more meeting time, a little bit more self-scouting, OBrien said. We tried to fix some of the things that we need to get corrected in order to get into the second half of our season. Thats basically what we did. STILL THE SAME: Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1992, back when Ohio State DL coach Mike Vrabel was just a freshman for the Buckeyes. He said not much has changed from then until now. Theyre all big. When youre at Ohio State, regardless of who you play, every game is big, he said. Ohio State hasnt lost since coach Meyer started coaching here. Every game we play gets bigger and bigger.

Papi back in World Series after ignoring naysayers

BY HOWARD ULMAN Associated Press BOSTON David Ortiz missed nearly half of last years disastrous Red Sox season with a heel injury. Then he was sidelined with it throughout spring training and the start of this season. There were whispers that the slugger who had won two World Series titles with Boston was at the end of the line. And Big Papi heard them. People are always going to talk trash, the slugging designated hitter said Tuesday. Youre never going to make everyone happy so what you do is just come in, do your thing and what can those people do about it? In my case, Im done putting attention to what people have to say. Theyve been saying nice things going into tonights opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. Ortiz led the Red Sox with a .309 batting average, 30 homers and 103 RBIs this season. In Game 2 of the AL championship series against the Detroit Tigers, he hit a game-tying grand slam in the eighth. Boston won 6-5 on Jarrod Saltalamacchias RBI single in the ninth. But Ortiz makes a huge contribution off the field with his bubbly personality and winning smile. Cardinals reliever Randy Choate saw that when he was playing baseball in the Dominican Republic in the offseason. We had a pickup softball game and it was an off day and we were all hanging out, he said. I remember someone threw one and he hit one, literally, 500 feet. It was unbelievable, but he was just there having a good time and hanging out with everybody, being down to earth. Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks was in awe when he saw Ortiz the first time he went to spring training. He carries himself very well, Middlebrooks said. Just the confidence he has rubs off on everybody. Then last year, getting to know him, being able to work with him, all the things hes done for this game, being there to help the rookies, hes such an open book. Thats what surprised me the most. But last year was a tough one. The Red Soxs 69-93 record was their worst in nearly half a century. Bobby Valentines stint as manager ended when he was fired after his first season. Ortiz hit .318 with 23 homers and 60 RBIs but played in just 90 games. What happened last year was kind of a freak of an injury, Red Sox outfielder Daniel Nava said, but what he was doing before that point, everyone saw that he was locked in. If there ever was a time to say Papis got more life in him, it was then. Hes also become a smarter hitter. When Ortizs heel injury persisted in spring training, the fans worries continued. But not for the players. We knew what was going on, Nava said. Obviously, you cant relay everything to the public, so since we had the inside track I wasnt worried. I dont think anyone else was worried. We knew he was going to be back. Now he has a chance for his third championship in 10 years, and Cardinals pitchers know the damage he can do. I dont think I would be overwhelmed facing him, starter Joe Kelly said. I just see him as another big power left-handed hitter like Adrian Gonzalez. Hes just another guy who can do damage with guys on base if youre not careful. Joaquin Benoit wasnt careful. So Ortiz tagged the Tigers closer for the grand slam that turned around the ALCS. Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal saw that homer. I think even without that, you knew that hes going to have the opportunity to make a huge impact with one swing, he said. And if he puts Boston ahead late, closer Koji Uehara is likely to save the game and then get picked up and carried over Ortizs shoulder a trademark of recent wins. I dont mind, Uehara said. Hes obviously the face of the team. If hes doing well, our team is also going to do well.
Texarkana friends meet in World Series

BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press BOSTON Michael Wacha remembered passing Will Middlebrooks a few years ago back in Texarkana, the small northeast Texas city where they grew up. One of the guys that everyone looked up to, Wacha said Tuesday. Like hes walking by, Thats Will Middlebrooks there. Its pretty crazy. Texarkana has a population of 36,411, according to the last U.S. census. Thats slightly fewer than the crowd that will jam into Fenway Park on Wednesday night to watch the old friends face each other when the Boston Red Sox host the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series opener. Middlebrooks was a senior at Liberty-Eylau High School in 2007, when Wacha was a sophomore at Pleasant Grove High, about a 10-minute drive away. Now the pair will be in the spotlight as Series rivals. Wacha, 22, has been a sensation since joining the Cardinals rotation in September Pedro Martinez cant mention his name on television broadcasts without saying Wacha! Wacha! Wacha! like a Pac-Man sound effect. The 25-year-old Middlebrooks has seen extensive action at third base for Boston during the last two seasons. Bob Bruggeman, a high school umpire for 34 years, remembered umpiring behind the plate for five-to-10 of Wachas starts and talked of his dominance. He said citizens of Texarkana are pumped to watch the two on baseballs biggest stage, and the town might even arrange a parade. Im hoping that right after the Series is over both of them will be able to come back to Texarkana, he said. In addition to being a baseball umpire, Im also the mayor of Texarkana, Texas, so I would like for them if possible to be able to come back to the community to be recognized by the City Council as well as the citizens within the community. And the Wacha family will be rooting for both. Wacha and Middlebrooks played on the same American Legion summer team, coached by the pitchers father, Tom. I dont think anybody really five years ago would have ever expected it, especially two guys from the same team playing against each other in World Series, Tom Wacha said. In a way, the Cardinals have Albert Pujols to thank for Michael Wacha. St. Louis received the 19th overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft from the Angels as compensation when Pujols left to sign a $240 million, 10-year contract. The Cardinals used the selection of Wacha,
OHSAA
who had gone 27-7 during three seasons at Texas A&M including an 11-strikeout effort against Holy Cross in February 2012. He really didnt start throwing hard until his senior year in high school. He wasnt like a dominant pitcher, Middlebrooks said. He was really good because he knew how to pitch and used all three pitches. Once he got to Texas A&M he got taller and stronger, worked with a lot of good coaches. You look up now and you see 96. After rocketing up the minor league system from rookie ball to Triple-A in less than a year, Wacha made his big league debut on May 30 at Kansas City. He didnt get a decision that night in a raininterrupted game that ended at 3:14 a.m. but got his first big league victory on June 11 against the Mets. He was sent back to the minors later that month, brought back for 2 weeks in August, then recalled again after rosters expanded in September. He was 2-1 with a 1.72 ERA in five September starts, finishing with a near-historic performance against Washington. He was one out from throwing a no-hitter in his ninth big league start when Ryan Zimmerman hit a chopper just over the 6-foot-6 right-hander. Shortstop Pete Kozma charged, grabbed the ball with his bare hand and threw just a little wide, pulling Matt Adams off the bag as Zimmerman arrived. I guess it just wasnt to be, Wacha said. And hes been just as dominant in the postseason, beating Pittsburgh in Game 4 of the division series and Los Angeles in Games 2 and 6 of the league championship series. Hes allowed one run in 21 innings, striking out 22, walking four and holding batters to a .114 average. The first impression that he made was he dont get scared, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina said. When you see a pitcher throwing strikes, 95, 96, with a good changeup and doesnt get scared, thats a good sign. Wacha is on the right team to learn, with former NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Carpenter and staff ace Adam Wainwright as tutors. His maturity level for his age stands out a lot, Carpenter said, You get here because you have good stuff and you can pitch. You learn through experience on how to behave, how to act off the field, how to act on the field, how to act in the clubhouse. Wacha tried to be calm about the World Series. His parents planned to travel to Boston on Tuesday morning first, they drove Monday night to watch daughter Brette play volleyball for Pleasant Grove. They planned to make a 3-hour drive after the match to Dallas, where they would catch a morning flight up north. No matter which team wins, Texarkana will have a champion.

Sluggish US hiring shows effects of budget impasse

BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER Associated Press WASHINGTON A dim view of the U.S. job market emerged Tuesday with a report that employers cut back on hiring in September just before a partial government shutdown began. Just 148,000 jobs were added last month, a steep drop from Augusts gain, though they were enough to lower unemployment to 7.2 percent from 7.3 percent in August. The report bolsters expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its pace of bond purchases for the rest of 2013 to try to keep long-term loan rates low. The governments release of the September jobs report had been delayed 2 weeks by the shutdown. Temporary layoffs during the 16-day shutdown will probably depress Octobers job gain. That means a clear picture of the job market wont emerge before November jobs figures are issued in December The economy is too fragile for the Federal Reserve to touch, Sung Won Sohn, an economist at California State University, said. The shenanigans in Congress have hurt confidence and increased uncertainties, most likely hurting both consumer and business spending as well as hiring. Average U.S. job growth has fallen sharply in the past three months after a promising start this year. The economy added an average of 143,000 jobs a month from July through September. That was down from the 182,000 average gain during from April through June and well below the 207,000-a-month pace from January through March. The report reinforces the impression that the labor market was losing a little momentum heading in to the shutdown, said Josh Feinman, global chief economist at Deutsche Asset and Wealth Management. The labor market is continuing to create jobs. Its just frustratingly slow. Stocks rose after the report was released, in part because slower job gains mean the Fed will continue its stimulus efforts. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 50 points in midday trading. Economists at Barclays now predict the Fed wont trim its bond purchases until March, much later than its previous forecast of December. A tight job market has discouraged many Americans from looking for work. The percentage of Americans working or looking for work remained at a 35-year low last month. The government doesnt count people as unemployed unless they are actively looking for work. Most of the drop in the unemployment rate this year has occurred because many people have either given up looking or have postponed their job searches by remaining in school. The September jobs report showed that some higher-paying industries added jobs at a healthy pace. Construction companies, for example, added 20,000. Transportation and warehousing gained 23,400 jobs, governments 22,000. Manufacturers added 2,000 jobs. Lower-paying industries were mixed. Hotels and restaurants cut about 11,000 jobs, after strong hiring earlier this year. Retailers added 21,000 positions. The budget impasse didnt stop Accumold, which makes components for medical devices, smartphones and other electronic goods, from boosting its workforce. CEO Roger Hargens said the Ankeny, Iowa-based company filled jobs in September and plans to add up to 65 to its 185-worker staff in the next few months. Hargens says he is seeing more orders from customers who are shifting from Chinese manufacturers to U.S. suppliers. Theres a big trend to move manufacturing back to the United States, he said. Its really speeding up now for us. Last month, average hourly U.S. pay ticked up 3 cents to $24.09. In the past year, pay has risen 2.1 percent, ahead of the 1.5 percent inflation rate. The government revised its estimates of job growth in July and August to show a slight net gain of 9,000. It said employers added 193,000 jobs in August, more than the 169,000 previously estimated. But it said just 89,000 were added in July, the fewest in more than a year and below the earlier estimated 104,000. The deceleration in job growth was a key reason the Fed decided in September to hold off on slowing its $85-billion-amonth in bond purchases. Many economists think the lack of clean data will lead the Fed to put off any decision on the bond purchases until 2014. It reinforces their hesitancy, Feinman said of the September jobs report. Its more validation for their hesitancy to taper in September. Many economists say the shutdown cut $25 billion out of the economy and slowed growth to about a 2 percent annual rate in the October-December quarter. Thats down from estimates before the shutdown that the economy would expand at a 2.5 percent annual rate. Robert Mellman, senior U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase, forecasts that Octobers job gains will be lower by about 35,000 because of cutbacks at government contractors and other companies affected by the shutdown. Many of those jobs will be regained in November. Growth is expected to rise slightly in the first three months of next year, as consumers and businesses make purchases and investments that were delayed during the shutdown.

Patience may pay off for homeowners who are upside-down

DEAR BRUCE: I have a house that has a second mortgage. We owe more than the house is worth. Is there anyone who can help get refinancing? -- W.W., via email DEAR W.W.: There are some government programs being advertised extensively on the radio. You might wish to respond and see what they have to offer. The ads say that in some cases, even though a home is upside-down (meaning more is owed on it than its worth), you can still get some refinancing on these special programs. I wouldnt get my hopes up too high on that. One thing that is certain, though: In most parts of the country, real estate is starting to recapture its value. I dont expect to see the sky-high values of five or six years ago, but if you can afford the payments, you might consider keeping them up. The likelihood is that the majority of your deficit will wiped out. In the absence of that, you might wish to investigate a short sale. In other words, you would go to the lender and say, The house is worth $100,000, but the most I can get for it is $90,000. If you will accept $90,000, I will sell it to get out from under it. DEAR BRUCE: My home will be paid off in two years, leaving me with only an equity loan left to pay in the amount of $16,000, $360 a month. After I pay off my mortgage, it will free up $500 to $600 a month. I will be retiring approximately eight to 10 years from now. I told my wife that I wanted to use the old house payment to invest in some sort of retirement account. All I have now is a thrift savings 401(k) based on my highest three earning years and Social Security. My wife wants to take that money and add it to the equity loan and pay it off sooner. What is your opinion? What would you recommend as a good investment with this money for the next six to eight years? P.A.M., via email DEAR P.A.M.: Let me disabuse you of something. You say your mortgage will be paid off in two years; no, it wont. Your first mortgage

will be paid off in two years, but you will still have a second mortgage of $16,000, $360 a month, which will be several years. You didnt tell me what the interest rate is on the second mortgage. If it is substantial, you would be far better off to pay off the mortgage with the extra $500 to $600 a month that your first mortgage is no longer collecting. You will find that not having a mortgage when you retire is very comforting. If you feel you can do better in the marketplace, go for it. I dont know what your experience is, but I would suggest that if you are not going to pay off the mortgage and you choose to invest in the market, make sure you start educating yourself right now on proper market selections and management. DEAR BRUCE: How and when can Medicare claim the recipient owes them? -S.L., via email DEAR S.L.: Generally speaking, it would depend on the efficiency practiced in the state the recipient is living in, and that can be anywhere from a couple of months to a year. As long as the house is transferred to your name, it is yours, but if the state feels it is owed money from Medicaid (Medicaid, not Medicare, as you asked), it can move against the house and sell it to recover as much as possible. If the recipient is using only Medicare, I cant think of any reason anyone would come after you. (Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams.com.

Ask Mr. Know-it-All

by Gary Clothier Q: In Celtic folklore there is a story of a seal that becomes human by removing its skin; to return to life in the sea, it must don its skin again. This creature has a name. What is it? -- F.U., Fleetwood, Pa. A: Its a selkie. Stories of the selkie are not restricted to the Celts; the creature is featured in myths throughout much of Northern Europe. One of the more popular stories is of a lonely fisherman who watches a selkie become a woman. He hides her selkie skin, and the two fall in love, get married and have children. One day the woman finds the hiding place. Although she loves

Dakota Fanning
DID YOU KNOW? Actors Dakota Fanning, Anne Hathaway and Ben Affleck all have some Irish heritage. Q: My question is about the movie The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne and Maureen OHara. At the end of the film, after the credits run, Sean Thornton (Wayne) and Mary
Kate Danaher (OHara) are standing in their garden waving goodbye. She turns to him and whispers something in his ear, causing Wayne to look surprised. What did she say? -- R.L., Corpus Christi, Texas A: No one knows, and its my guess no one ever will. The story goes that director John Ford asked OHara to repeat an unscripted bit of text, saying he wanted a genuinely shocked look on Waynes face. At first OHara refused, but she relented eventually -- as long as the line would never be revealed. Ford and Wayne are no longer alive, and OHara remains silent about the moment.

By Bernice Bede Osol
HI AND LOIS
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2013 Youve got what it takes to achieve your goals in the coming months. Take stock of your attributes and figure out how to employ them to get the best results. A couple of changes at home will allow you greater freedom to accomplish your goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Take a tour or try your hand at something that brings you pleasure, knowledge or added skills. Information should be your motivation, and it could be your ticket to a new beginning. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you want to achieve success, youll need to look your best and try your hardest. Focus on gaining recognition as well as remuneration for your skills and contributions. Keep physical activity to a minimum. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will leave a lasting impression on everyone you meet. Your interesting way of assessing situations and finding solutions will put you in a class of your own. There is money to be made. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Look at change as a new beginning. Dont let what others do or say stop you from following your heart or taking on a challenge or endeavor that interests you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Dont hesitate; if you want to make a difference, put your plans into motion and follow through on them. You will have a lasting effect on a situation that will make your life easier. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Change may be inevitable, but it could also be your ticket to a fresh start. Check out whats needed to head in a direction that suits your personal, financial and emotional needs. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Ask questions, offer suggestions and tackle any situation that could be improved with a little understanding, compassion and hands-on help. Short trips will bring good results. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do your own fact-finding today. You will have to take the steps necessary to accommodate your needs. A partnership will require you to make changes if you want it to survive. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its a good day to do something challenging and to stray from your comfort zone. Updating your appearance will give you the confidence you require to follow your dream. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont labor over what you cannot change. You need to let go of the past and start noticing the many opportunities in front of you. Love is complicated and changeable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your undivided attention and precise action are needed to get the most out of a touchy situation. You can stay on top only if you trust and believe in your abilities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -The suggestions you make must be based on fact. Youll walk a fine line if you decide to face off against someone in charge. Size up your situation and act accordingly.

Nev. boy says he came face-to-face with shooter
For jobless over 50, a challenge searching for work

ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) When Charlie Worboys lost his job, he feared searching for a new one at his age might be tough. Six years later, at 65, hes still looking. Luanne Lynch, 57, was laid off three times in the past decade and previous layoffs brought jobs with a lower salary; this time she cant even get that. Theyre not alone. A new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds many people over 50 reporting great difficulty finding work and feeling that their age is a factor. After Worboys was laid off and his hunt for another teaching job was fruitless, he sought counseling positions. When those leads dried up, he applied for jobs in juvenile detention centers, in sales and elsewhere. He finally settled for part-time work, all the while still scouring online listings and sending out applications each week. Theyre looking for the younger person, he said. They look at the number 65 and they dont bother to look behind it. The AP-NORC Center poll found 55 percent of those 50 and older who have sought a job in the past five years characterized their search as difficult, and 43 percent thought employers were concerned about their age. Further, most in the poll reported finding few available jobs (69 percent), few that paid well (63 percent) or that offered adequate benefits (53 percent). About a third were told they were overqualified. Still, some companies are welcoming older workers, and 43 percent of job seekers surveyed found a high demand for their skills and 31 percent said there was a high demand for their experience. Once on the job, older workers were far more likely to report benefits related to their age 60 percent said colleagues had come to them for advice more often and 42 percent said they felt as if they were receiving more respect in the company. People of all ages have been frustrated by the job market and the unemployment rate for those 55 and older was 5.3 percent in September, lower than the 7.2 percent rate among all ages. By comparison, unemployment among those 20-24 was 12.9 percent, and among those 25-54, 6.2 percent. But long-term unemployment has been rampant among the oldest job seekers. Unemployed people aged 45 to 54 were out of work 45 weeks on average, those 55 to 64 were jobless for 57 weeks and those 65 and older average 51 weeks. Younger workers were unemployed for shorter periods of time. Sixty-three percent of those who searched for a job cited financial need and 19 percent said it was because they were laid off. Far smaller numbers searched because they wanted to change careers, find a better salary or benefits, escape unhappiness at a prior job or simply get out of the house. Lynch, of San Gabriel, Calif., hated taking a step down after the earlier layoffs, but this time only one interview has come from 70-some applications. Its starting at the bottom, she said. And frankly, Im getting too old to be starting at the bottom.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) Students cowered in fear and pleaded for their lives as a 12-year-old Nevada boy went on a schoolyard rampage with a handgun he brought from home, waving the weapon at frightened classmates and shooting a math teacher in the chest on a basketball court. The boy opened fire Monday morning on the Sparks Middle School campus, wounding two boys and killing the teacher before he turned the gun on himself. Washoe County School District police revealed Tuesday that the seventh-grader brought the 9mm semi-automatic Ruger handgun from his home, but authorities were still working to determine how he obtained it. The students parents were cooperating with authorities and could face charges in the case, police said. Eighth-grader Angelo Ferro recalled burying his face in his hands and pleading for his life as the boy waved the gun and threatened to shoot. Another seventh grader and Ferros math teacher, Michael Landsberry, lay gunned down nearby. The whole time I was hoping Mr. L was OK, wed all get through it, it was a bad dream, Ferro told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Ferro, 13, was in the schoolyard with friends when the violence started. He heard a pop about 15 minutes before the morning bell rang but didnt think much of it. Then he saw an injured boy clutching his wounded arm, and he watched Landsberry walk toward the gunman and take a bullet to the chest. Unable to get inside the locked-down school, Ferro and others crouched against the building for safety but soon came face-to-face with the armed student. Ferro didnt know the boy but said he and other frightened classmates tried to talk him out of firing. But something distracted the boy, and he didnt shoot. You could hear the panic, Ferro said. He left, thank God. A series of 911 calls made from the school also reflected the terror of the situation, including an ominous report of teacher down. Can you send please send police out here, a panicked student told a 911 dispatcher. Theres a kid with a gun. Authorities provided no motive for the shooting but said theyve interviewed 20 or 30 witnesses and are looking into any prior connections between the victims and the shooter. Everybody wants to know why thats the big question, Sparks Deputy Police Chief Tom Miller said. The answer is, we dont know right now. Also Tuesday, law enforcement and school officials again lauded the actions of Landsberry, a 45-year-old former Marine who tried to stop the rampage before he was killed.
Leaving the driving to a computer has big benefits
Village
WASHINGTON (AP) In some ways, computers make ideal drivers: They dont drink and then climb behind the wheel. They dont do drugs, get distracted, fall asleep, run red lights or tailgate. And their reaction times are quicker. They do such a good job, in fact, that a new study says self-driving cars and trucks hold the potential to transform driving by eliminating the majority of traffic deaths, significantly reducing congestion and providing tens of billions of dollars in economic benefits. But significant hurdles to widespread use of selfdriving cars remain, the most important of which is likely to be cost. Added sensors, software, engineering and power and computing requirements currently tally over $100,000 per vehicle, clearly unaffordable for most people, the study said. But large-scale production promises greater affordability over time, it concluded.

The village received its new water pump, which is up and running as the primary pump. Smith said he wants to see if its more efficient; it pumps harder and saves money. We now have two pumps in service but no spare, Smith stated. At some point, well pick up a reconditioned pump to use as a spare.

leaves. Council President Randy Wieging has researched new holiday banners for the village. We picked four designs and want to purchase six of each, Wieging stated. The banners are $76 each, made of vinyl and are double-sided. Twenty-four banners would cost $1824. Im seeing $1,800 and I dont want to spend that much, Smith said. After some discussion with council, a motion was made and approved to purchase 20 banners which are in stock and ready for delivery in two weeks. Next village council meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 12 at the Library.
Paper boy
During the same meeting, Miller then moved to rescind the part of his Aug. 5 motion to keep CT Consultants on as contract administrator for the Wastewater Treatment Project and council unanimously agreed. Council then passed a motion to authorize and accept change order 2G from Kirk Brothers Construction. Chapman reiterated that the change order is contingent upon Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) approval of the plans. Miller then stated that the village would need a contract administrator for the project and asked Attorney Smith if council should terminate the contract with CT Consultants. At this time, Village Attorney Alan Smith said he will write a letter of termination for CT Consultants and send it to them. The mayor and I have been going through all the invoices, Chapman said. CT only invoiced us for 50 percent, Johnson states. After termination, they may look for the other 50 percent. Chapman said he has a meeting with Richard Kirk and Poggemeyer this Friday to discuss the Water Treatment Project. The first priority is for the EPA to approve the change order, he stated. The change order was approved by
council at the Oct. 7 meeting. Once the EPA hears what we are going to do, we hope that instead of having a new set of plans prepared. We only have to change a few of them, Chapman said. At this time, council is waiting on Kirk to complete the change orders and then send them to the EPA for approval. We need to get it done pretty quick, Chapman insisted. It may take the EPA a little time and there may be modifications needed to be made before they approve. Chapman said that concrete work for the parking area at the utilities garage has begun and his crew has already poured 41 yards of concrete. Chapman said he wanted to recognize his guys for all the hard work they have done. Doing the work in-house has cost $2,800, he said. If we would have contracted it out, it would have cost close to $7,000. The village will conduct hydrant flushing Nov. 4-15 and will occur through the night to keep water disruptions to a minimum. Chapman has also been looking into the Clean Ohio Trails Fund Grant which was submitted last year. If granted, the funds would be used on the canal trail.
Notifications are being processed, he said. Its somewhat a free project and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ONDR) has the excavation equipment to do the work. Mayor P.J. Johnson explained to council that the Board of Elections incorrectly published levy information in a legal notice and they will publish a correction. The information was stated at a higher rate and for general purposes rather than for police services, Johnson said. Chief Cook has gone door to door explaining the error to residents. In the Finance Report, Dawn Bailey said that she and Chapman will start at a preliminary budget and use temporary appropriations. We have until April 1, Bailey said. Johnson commented on the importance of the levy and what it may mean to the village if it does not pass. He said some residents comment the swimming pool is a service to the community. Johnson emphasized council members getting out into the community and attending meetings to get a feel for what residents are thinking and saying. Its the pool or the police, Johnson said. Which is more important?
Answers to Mondays questions: There was not a real Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, however, there was a Scottish cabinetmaker named William Brodie who inspired Robert Louis Stevensons story. Brodie, a respected businessman by day, wore a mask and led a band of robbers by night. Brodie was hanged in 1788. The most violent film on record is Red Dawn (1984) with 134 acts of violence per hour or 2.23 per minute. Todays questions: What were the 13 original American colonies? Who was the first pope? Answers in Thursdays Herald. Todays joke: A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three very large, leathered bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old mans pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old mans milk and then he took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old mans plate and then he took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, Humph, not much of a man, was he? The waitress replied, Not much of a truck driver either, he just backed his big-rig over three motorcycles.
Trivia
questioned if the new language meant the EMS was no longer under the fire department and if so, if a recent application to the state for the drug license for the EMS submitted by the fire department for ALS drugs for the squad would be valid. No one offered an answer to their question. Law Director Osting said if anyone on council or the administration would like him to render an opinion on the matter to email him and he would provide the opinion on the language change and what he feels it means to the EMS and fire department. Also passed on the third reading was an ordinance reducing the salaries of elective officials by 25 percent all paid monthly was heard on second reading. The mayor will make $13,500 per year; the city treasurer will make $2,400 a year; the city law director will make $7,500 per year; the president of council will make $2,400 a year; individual council members will make $2,250 a year; and the city auditor will make $7,500 a year. The ordinance will not take affect for any elected office until the person now holding the position is re-elected or replaced. In old business, Councilman Jim Knebel asked if the reduction in municipal lighting was underway. Berquist said he had been in contact with American Electric Power and there was a fee to remove the lighting a well as to just turn them off. It will cost us $17 per light just to have it shut off, Berquist said. And thats monthly. In new business, Councilman Mark Clement asked if the Ohio Department of Natural Resources was aware its possible to walk across the canal at the south end of town. Berquist said they would be aware of it today. The next council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Nov. 4.
