Ohio unemployment stagnant in August
DHI MEDIA STAFF REPORT
info@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT The state un-
employment rate for August did
not change from July 2014, ac-
cording to the latest information
from the Ohio Department of Job
and Family Services. The jobless
rate remained at 5.7 percent for the
month as the state added approxi-
mately 200 new jobs. At the same
time, the number of unemployed
increased by about 1,000 from
July to 324,000. Employment g-
ures were released from the results
of the latest business establish-
ment survey conducted by the U.S.
Department of Labor (Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
Although the number of jobs in
the state has increased by 56,000
over the past 12 months, the num-
ber of unemployed in Ohio has
jumped by 109,000 during that
same span. Much of the discrep-
ancy is likely due to fewer persons
actively looking for work.
The unemployment rate 12
months ago was 7.5 percent.
The August numbers showed a
gain of 1,100 manufacturing jobs
for the month, but a loss of 3,500
construction jobs as the outside
construction season winds down.
Other gains in job numbers came
from government workers (8,200,
mostly in local government),
educational and health services
(2,700), and professional and busi-
ness services (1,200).
Job losses were seen in trade,
transportation, and utilities
(6,600), nancial activities (700),
information (600), and leisure and
hospitality (500).
In the past 12 months, Ohio
has added 22,700 manufacturing
jobs, 14,100 jobs in professional
and business services, 3,600 in
educational and health services,
and 500 in trade, transporta-
tion, and utilities. Losses came
in government workers (2,600),
nancial activities (6,800), infor-
mation (2,200), and leisure and
hospitality (3,000).
Around the region, one-tenth
of a percent drops in unemploy-
ment rate were reported in Indi-
ana (7.5 percent) and Illinois (9.2
percent), while both Kentucky
and Michigan reported rate drops
of three-tenths of a percent. Ken-
tuckys rate fell to 8.4 percent
while Michigans rate is down to
9.0 percent.
August county unemployment
rates are set for release on Tues-
day by the Ohio Department of
Job and Family Services. In July,
Van Wert Countys rate rose to 5.3
percent. Other area county rates in
July were down from the previous
month. Allen Countys rate fell to
8.1 percent, in Paulding County
the rate decreased to 6.7 percent,
and Putnam Countys rate fell to
6.1 percent.

Mercer County joint investigation nets drugs, guns
DHI MEDIA STAFF
REPORT
CELINA Law enforce-
ment ofcers brought in a
large haul of evidence Thurs-
day after a so-called joint
investigation between the
Mercer County Sheriffs Of-
ce and the Celina Police De-
partment resulted in the arrest
of four people and the cons-
cation of several drugs and 16
rearms from a residence on
Mud Pike near Celina.
Mercer County Sheriff Jeff
Grey reported that a search
warrant was served at the
residence where two metham-
phetamine cooking labs were
found. All four men who were
arrested were sent to the Mer-
cer County Jail, charged with
possession of a controlled sub-
stance. The four were ordered
held on $25,000 bonds.
Seized in the search were
400 grams of marijuana, 60
ounces of liquid methamphet-
amine, prescription pills, drug
paraphernalia, and 16 re-
arms. No further information
about the guns was released.
Additional charges are ex-
pected to be led. The case
will be sent for review to the
Mercer County Prosecutor.
Also assisting in the search
was an agent from the Ohio
Bureau of Criminal Investiga-
tion who specializes in meth
labs. Also assisting were the
Celina Fire Department and
Squad and the Chickasaw Fire
Department who provided
some equipment to the case.

Since Apples launch of
the iPad in 2010, schools
across the country have
played a huge role in the suc-
cess of the tablet. Applein-
sider reports more than seven
million iPads were sold to
the U.S. educational market
through 2013. But recently,
institutions that were satised
with the performance of the
iPad have seen a trend toward
utilizing the more affordable
Google Chromebook laptop
rather than the more expen-
sive iPad.
Delphos City Schools
Transition Coordinator Missy
McClurg, Special Education
Ofcer (SEO) grades 9-12
said every student grades 6-12
gets a computer, cases, and
carrying bag. For those stu-
dents with severe disabilities,
Google Nexus 10-inch tablets
with optional keyboard and
stylus were purchased.
We researched all the
products out there, iPads, lap-
tops, Microsoft Surface tab-
lets and found Chromebooks
to be the best t for Delphos
City Schools because of their
low cost and ease of use, she
said.
Lincolnview Schools also
purchased Chromebooks in
2014.
Ottoville Local Schools
Director of Technology Shel-
ley Mumaw said Ottovilles
iPad Initiative began three
years ago with the Freshman
class. Currently, Freshman,
Sophomore and Juniors are
a part of the 1:1 with iPads.
Students can bring in their
own devices for the BYOD
(Bring Your Own Device) to
use at their discretion.
The point of using any de-
vice is to make life easier and
enhance the learning environ-
ment for our students, she
said, We have found the iPad
to be a more personal device
which makes them work well
in a 1:1 environment, where
the Chromebook can work
well as a shared device.
McClurg said Google
Chromebooks look like lap-
tops; however, they run the
Chrome operating system,
rely on cloud-based storage
rather than on a machine or
server, have a Universal Se-
rial Bus (USB) port for addi-
tional storage and have a 7.5
hour battery life.
They are fast, support
multiple users, and are secure
with built-in virus and mal-
ware protection, McClurg
stated. Chromebooks update
automatically so there are no
updates to install.
A key feature for Technol-
ogy Coordinator Josh McEl-
roy is the web-based manage-
ment console allows him to
set up and manage users, apps
and policies for the district
simply from his computer.

2014 Canal Days
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS After the cheese dust settled Fri-
day evening, the Union Bank Co. was named the
winner in the 2014 Delphos Canal Days Battle of
the Businesses. Union Bank rose to the top out of
20 teams to claim the traveling trophy.
Teams navigated their way through seven games
of little skill requiring no athletic ability.
The games started with Noodle Knee Race
with four team members relaying until all four
were on the pool noodle and back to the nish line.
Second up was the Plate Pass with paper
plates passed via clenched knees and then dropped
in a basket.
Next, teams donned raincoats and armed with
sponges lled a cup on a teammates head which
was emptied into a bucket for the Beverage Re-
lay.
In Dont Spill the Beans, teams had to scoop
up multi-colored dried beans on a spoon and return
to the line and drop them in a bowl. With a twist,
only the brown beans counted toward points.

Green Energy Ohio to host
12th annual tour Oct. 3-5
Green Energy Ohio (GEO), the non-
prot renewable energy advocate, will
showcase clean energy and green design
at local open houses and guided tours on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 3, 4
and 5.
Tour sites include private homes,
businesses and public locations such as
schools and colleges, parks and zoos
all organized by over 100 volunteers. The
Tour is free to the public during desig-
nated times, which are posted at the GEO
website: www.greenenergyohio.org/ost.
Visitors can choose from local sites and
create a tour that is convenient to their
schedules.
Nine guided tours are available in Ak-
ron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Co-
lumbus, Oberlin, Springeld, Urbana and
in Paulding County at the Timber Road II
Wind Farm.
Over 160 open houses at over 100
tour sites are registered for the three days
of the GEO 12th statewide tour event
stretching across 31 counties.
The free GEO Tour is a great op-
portunity for Ohioans to learn rst-hand
about the latest in solar, wind, biomass
and energy efciency, said GEO Execu-
tive Director Bill Spratley. As federal
incentives will be reduced at the end of
2016 and solar prices are a record lows,
now is the time to consider installing
solar. Many previous tour-goers have ad-
opted sustainable energy for their home,
business and community and now pro-
vide their own green energy for a cleaner
environment and new jobs.
Spratley also noted, GEO is asking
site owners to invite elected ofcials,
especially state legislators, to visit their
sites to gain a better understanding of
the green energy savings and environ-
mental benets. We need a public policy
that insures Ohio will be a green energy
leader.
R.J. Perritt Homes and Solar Power &
Light are premier sponsors of this years
event along with Featured Tour Sponsors
Ecohouse Solar, Dayton Power & Light,
KeyBank, Third Sun Solar & Wind Pow-
er, Zane State College and seven Sup-

Allen County safety coalition reminds students
to drive safe during homecoming season
LIMA, Ohio Homecoming should be a
time to cheer on the team, to dance with friends
and to enjoy high school. However, at this time
of year, teens are killed or seriously injured in
trafc crashes after drinking or choosing to
ride with people who have been drinking or
driving recklessly, especially texting or speed-
ing. And, teens often dont buckle up.
The Lima-Allen County Safe Community
Coalition wants local students to have a good
time and celebrate safe. Remember:
Dont text & drive!
Slow down!
Always remember to buckle-up!
Dont drink or ride with someone who has
been drinking!
Remember, it is illegal for anyone under 21
to consume alcoholic beverages. Not only is it
against the law, but crashes are often the tragic
outcome.
Area law enforcement agencies will be on
the look-out during homecoming weekends
beginning this weekend. They will target un-
derage consumption and other risky driving
behaviors.
The following is a list of Allen County
schools homecoming dates; overtime enforce-
ment is scheduled around these dates:
Elida, Sept. 19-20
Bluffton, Sept. 26-27
Delphos St. Johns, Oct. 3-4
Delphos Jefferson, Oct. 10-11
Spencerville, Oct. 10-11
Task force to address workforce
challenges for deaf and blind individuals
COLUMBUS, Ohio Governor John R. Kasich has charged a task force with gathering
data and making recommendations regarding the employment challenges for individuals who
are deaf or blind. The Workforce Integration Task Force, created as part of the Mid-Biennium
Review (MBR) process at the request of the Governor, will meet from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 24 at
the ofces of Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities Agency (OOD).
Our work will give us an opportunity to expand awareness and break down barriers to employ-
ment for individuals who are deaf or blind, said Kevin Miller, OOD Executive Director. The task
force brings an impressive group of people together to address potential solutions to unemployment
and wage disparity. I am condent the report will be a valuable tool for policy makers.
The nine-member task force, co-chaired by Director Miller and Cynthia C. Dungey, director
of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), will gather and analyze data re-
garding income levels and employment barriers for individuals who are deaf or blind and make
recommendations on how to more fully integrate these individuals into the workforce. A nal
report is due to the Governor by Jan. 1, 2015.
As the states economic recovery continues, the recommendations from this task force will
help ensure that Ohioans who are deaf and blind benet from the improving job market and are
able to secure meaningful employment, Director Dungey said.
Along with the agency directors, the task force is made up of seven members with diverse
backgrounds and experience. Included are individuals from the deaf and blind communities,
representatives from the business community, nonprot organizations, community leaders, and
those with an academic background in disability issues.
Governor Kasich proposed the creation of the task force as part of the administrations sec-
ond-year budget reform package known as the MBR, and it was included in HB 483. The provi-
sion creates the task force within OOD and tasks it with collecting data related to the income
levels of individuals who are deaf or blind, their employment status and geographic location,
and identifying barriers to their employment. No appropriations were included with the task
force; as a result, the provision had an effective date of Sept. 15. Upon the issuance of its report,
the task force sunsets.
Kasich and Taylor issue POW/
MIA Recognition Day resolution
COLUMBUS Governor John R. Kasich
and Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor issued
a resolution Friday recognizing Sept. 19, 2014,
as POW/MIA Recognition Day.
Excerpt from the POW/MIA Recognition
Day Resolution issued by Kasich and Taylor:
On this day, we honor prisoners of war and
those missing in action for their heroic service
to their nation. We owe them and their families
a debt of gratitude which can never be fully
repaid. We encourage all Ohioans to join us in
honoring the sacrice of our nations prison-
ers of war and those who are still missing in
action.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, Sept. 20 & Sunday, Sept. 21, 2014 A5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
The bloody war had been over
for six years. From the ashes of all
that remained, a new nation had been
created, embracing the ideal that all
citizens should have a say in how the
government was run.
The Continental Congress had
been the American governing body
from 1774 for the next seven years.
During the control of the second
Continental Congress, the Articles
of Confederation and Perpetual
Union were drafted and nally rati-
ed in early 1781.
But the Articles of Confederation
were not strong enough to govern a
growing nation. Under its implemen-
tation, the central government was
limited, possessing decision-making
capabilities but without any enforce-
ment powers. Because of that, any-
time a decision was made, all 13
states needed to approve, usually a
long process through their respective
legislations.
To rectify this problem, a Confed-
eration Congress was called in Feb-
ruary of 1787 and presided over by
George Washington. Unfortunately,
only Virginia and Pennsylvania rep-
resentatives arrived in time for the
May 14 meeting. Without a quorum
of at least seven states, the gathering
needed to wait until May 25 before
ofcial deliberations could begin
on revising the Articles of Confed-
eration to make them stronger. How-
ever, it became obvious quickly the
majority of members preferred cre-
ating a new document for laying out
the foundation of the American gov-
ernment.
Much like with the Declaration
of Independence, discussions often
disintegrated into arguments. While
all in attendance agreed to a repub-
lican-style democracy, the decision
of how to choose the representatives
became the big question. The an-
swer came through what was known
as the Connecticut Compromise.
The number of representatives to the
House would be decided by popula-
tion while Senators would be limited
to two per state.
Once this was decided, many of
the other issues such as presiden-
tial terms, powers, and jurisdictions
were quickly debated and compro-
mised. This included the Three-
fths compromise, the agreement to
count slaves as only three-fths of a
person. Because slaves would not be
allowed to vote, northern state mem-
bers did not want their numbers to be
counted in the population totals for
the House of Representatives. Slave
state members wanted them all to be
counted, giving voters in the South
multiple times the power for one
vote. The compromise overstated
the southern power but did not al-
low them to completely control the
House.
The rst draft of the Constitution
was created in a two-week period at
the end of July and then for most of
the month of August and into Sep-
tember, the entire Congress debated
the document, line-by-line. On Sep-
tember 8, a Committee of Style took
the mish-mash of additions and dele-
tions and turned the results into sen-
tences.
Not everyone was happy with the
nal results on September 17. Sev-
eral members left before the vote
and three were so adamantly op-
posed they refused to sign after it
passed. Washington had desperately
wanted every state to agree to the
new Constitution and had spent most
of the gathering cajoling and urg-
ing members to work together. Even
Benjamin Franklin disagreed about
several points but in the end was
philosophical about the document,
saying he would vote for it because ,
I expect no better and I am not sure
that it is not the best. Eleven states
and Rep. Hamilton of New York -
nally agreed to the document and
signed.
Here now is a partial reprint of
the original U.S. Constitution as
seen by the members of the Confed-
eration Congress on September 17,
1787.
Creation of U.S. Constitution a lesson in compromise
We the People of the United
States, in Order to form a more
perfect Union, establish Justice, in-
sure domestic Tranquility, provide
for the common defence, promote
the general Welfare, and secure the

National Weather Service
conrmed that Hugo was the
strongest hurricane in the re-
gion in more than a decade.
Ofcials said it was too early
to tell where the storm would
strike the U.S. mainland.
Discussions at the Van
Wert City Council meet-
ing centered around money
and how much more the
city needed. Ofcials re-
minded council they had
been warned in November of
1988 that the Van Wert gen-
eral fund was expected to be
down to a zero balance by
the middle of the summer of
1990 if steps were not taken
to increase revenue. A half-
percent increase in the city
income tax was suggested
which would increase rev-
enues by $1 million, half of
which would be used to re-
plenish the general fund.

50 Years Ago
This week in 1964, the
U.S. Air Forces XB70A Val-
kyrie bomber made its maid-
en ight. The long-range jet
had been expected to y for
two hours and make several
passes over the Palmdale
Airport but instead stayed
aloft for only an hour before
landing in a spray of sparks.
The controversial bombers
ight had been delayed sev-
eral times and the high cost
- $1.5 billion for two proto-
types - had plagued the Air
Forces answer to Russian
interceptor jets. However,
when completed the XB70A
was expected to reach Mach
3 at an altitude of 70,000
feet.
Ofcials from the State
Highway Department at-
tempted to clarify several
points about the proposed
U.S. 30 bypass around Van
Wert. In a letter to the Van
Wert Chamber of Commerce
Executive Manager R.L.
Van Ausdall, the division
engineer said that although
the bypass would be a lim-
ited access highway, most
of the county roads would
not be cut off so that truck
route trafc to local facto-
ries would still have access.
Also, commuters driving
into the city for work would
not need to be funneled onto
Washington Street, helping
to stop any bottlenecks on
that street.
A ball of string weigh-
ing 215 pounds was put on
display in the window of
the Westrich Store. The ball
of string belonged to Earl
(Pete) Kollsmith, who start-
ed it in 1911. Over the years
it developed into somewhat
of a hobby.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, Soviet
Russia and Germany divided
up what was left of Poland
after the two countries de-
stroyed the Polish armed
forces. In exchange for sign-
ing a non-aggression pact
with Germany in August, in-
suring the Nazi forces would
not need to ght a two-front
war, the Russians took con-
trol of the eastern half of Po-
land and the Baltic States.
A campaign dinner was
held at the First Presbyterian
Church to launch the enroll-
ment program for the Van
Wert Community Concert
Association. In its fourth
year, the Concert Associa-
tions goal was to increase
the cultural benets for the
community. All artists ap-
pearing in Van Wert were
afliated with the Columbia
Broadcasting System as a
part of the associations con-
tract with the organization.
Mrs. Ed. Murray was
named president of the
American Legion Auxiliary
at a regular meeting held in
the Legion rooms. Other of-
cers chosen were: Mrs. Clar-
ence Heisterman, rst vice
president; Mrs. Dale Miller,
second vice president; Mrs.
F. M. Krendl, secretary; Mrs.
Cloyd Berry, treasurer; Mrs.
John Fiedler, chaplain; Mrs.
C. E. Fox, sergeant-at-arms;
and Mrs. Med Granger, his-
torian.
25, 50, and 75
Years Ago
This is the fourth in a series of interviews I
had with elderly people in the late 1970s and
early 1980s. - R.H.
Jan. 1981 Otto Weger, age 93, and wife
Hazel (King) Weger, age 85. Married 57 years.
Otto is the last one living of 10 children.
The Wegers were ve brothers who came
from Germany and landed in Baltimore. One
stayed in Baltimore and the rest came as far as
Pittsburgh. One became a lawyer there and the
other three came to Delphos.
My mother came here from Germany by
herself when she was 13 years-old. She landed
in Baltimore at 3 oclock in the morning and
no one was there to meet her. She saw one light
up ahead and she went there, and a lady took
her in.
My father was Frank Weger and he was in
the insurance business. He was in the lum-
ber business here, also. He and a farmer from
around Delphos went to Natchez, Mississippi,
and bought a big lumber company there. My
dad had a gin pole roll down and hit him, and
he was laid up all summer. His partner sold
the lumber company while he was laid up, and
skipped out with all the money. We had moved
to Mississippi on Easter Monday and moved
back to Delphos on Thanksgiving Day. Our
house in Delphos had been for sale for $1,500
but thankfully did not sell. When we got back
to Delphos, some of the relatives took some of
us children in because we didnt have any fur-
niture.
Aaron Fisher was the sheriff then and a
good friend of my dad, so he took us to the
courthouse for a Thanksgiving dinner.
Ottos mother said the rst Christmas back
in Delphos, she saw the little kids go up to bed
and they would know there wouldnt be any
Santa Claus this year, as they didnt have any
money to buy things. On Christmas morning,
she found on the front porch, a live tree some-
one had cut down, and a big stuffed turkey in
a roaster. She said the Lord always protected
her.
Stallkamps grocery let her get groceries
without paying for them and said they trusted
her and that some day she would be able to pay
them.
My brother Ralph, the oldest one, was
studying to be a doctor and worked at Kings
Brothers Drug store, where Westrichs store is
now.
My brother Tom was postmaster here.
A gang of us, Humpert boys, Syl. Grothouse
and others from the west side of town would go
rabbit hunting every Sunday. We seldom had a
dog, but the rabbit wouldnt have much chance.
We would chase them into a brush pile and we
had enough guys that we could chase them out
and kill them with sticks.
In the summer we played baseball in Long-
miers Grove by the traction line overhead.
Paul Birkmeiers mother was raised by Joe Jet-
tinghoffs. Joe built the house that Paul lives in.
Pete Mueller had a machine shop on the
southeast corner of Main and Fifth streets, across
the street from
Rickers plan-
ing mill. He
was a brother
to John Muel-
ler who had
the implement business on South Main street.
John Mueller built the house that Doc Illig lived
in on North Pierce Street. John and two children,
Alice, who married Harold Scherger, and John,
who married Irma Zimmerman.
Dr. Ralph Weger delivered most of the ba-
bies in Delphos at that time. His ofce was
about where Peoples National Bank Drive-in is
now or right west of the alley. Dr. Weger went
to Denver to study under Dr. Tilleton, a spe-
cialist on diets. Dr. Weger wrote a book about
people eating the right diet and curing them-
selves, instead of taking pills. My dad said
he had a screw loose. Now everyone says, eat
the right kind of foods to stay healthy. He was
ahead of his time. He would cure appendicitis
with a diet instead of an operation.
Doc moved to Redwood, California and
bought a mansion for $50,000. A man had
built it several years before for $250,000 and
his wife wanted to go back to Italy so they sold
it. Doc had to get permission from the neigh-
bors to use as a clinic or hospital, and he could
take care of about 30 patients at a time. There
was about 12 or 15 acres with trees and beauti-
ful landscape. Doc had about everything paid
off and he died of a heart attack at age 63.
Ottos mother said she had two sweethearts,
Frank Weger and Dad Rupert. She didnt know
which one to pick, so she went into church to
pray. When she was leaving, Frank was com-
ing in with an umbrella, and she thought that the
Lord meant for her to choose Frank. Later Ru-
perts wife died and Frank Weger died and she
then married Rupert. He took her back to Bal-
timore to live. He had a colored chauffeur and a
cook and everything so foxy, and Ottos mother
wasnt used to that and she prayed and prayed
that they would move back to Delphos where she
could be back with her family. They moved to
Delphos and had John Schaffer build the white
frame house where Jack Meyers lived for many
years on West Second Street. Everything was go-
ing ne and they lived there about a year when
she died of a stroke. Schaffer built the house next
door for himself and married Ottos sister.
Dr. Hickson(?) who had his ofce on the
corner of Third and Washington Streets near
where Roths Market is now, had one of the
rst automobiles in Delphos. It had big wheels.
There were about 12 or 15 doctors in Delphos
then. One of the doctors had just got an au-
tomobile, when a patient at Ft. Jennings sent
for him. He started the car and when he got
to Ft. Jennings, he didnt know how to stop it,
so he turned right around and came back to
Delphos and drove to a livery stable that had a
brick wall and yelled to the man to get out of
the way as he was going to run into the wall to
stop the car.

During this week, I was
visiting in the home of some-
one when the phone rang.
The sound took me by sur-
prise, since I havent been in
a home with a ringing land
line for years. I had forgotten
how it used to be. The call, by
the way, was from a telemar-
keter. I felt like I had dropped
through a wormhole in time
and fell into 1976.
Its amazing how easily we
can forget. Of course there are
other times when we forget
its 2014. Have you ever found
yourself looking for a running
clock so you can see what time
it is, forgetting that the cell
phone in our pocket has the
time on it. Old habits are hard
to break.
Then the next day, I found
something on the Internet
which reminded me that my
kids dont automatically see
things from the same refer-
ence point in time. Its a recap
of some of the things that kids
just entering high school have
no experience with. Like the
sound your cell phone makes
when you take a picture with
it, you and I know that sound
is the sound of a real camera
shutter when a picture is tak-
en. To my middle school-aged
daughter, its just the sound
her phone camera makes.
That is typical according to
this list I found online. Dont
feel old? Let me share a few of
these with you. Its about the
potential high school class of
2018, who just entered their
freshman year. Tell one of
these kids they sound like a
broken record, and they prob-
ably wont have a clue what
you are talking about. They
wont even understand what
it sounds like when a needle
gets pulled across a record.
Thats a sound I wanted to use
as a ringtone, but I dont think
anybody remembers it well
enough to record it digitally.
Even the remembrance
of September 11 brings no
memories to them. My boys
memories of that day are faint,
and they are in their 20s now.
The class of 2018 has always
lived in a time where access to
GPS means that they havent
had to look up directions and
print them onto paper, or even
master the ne art of reading a
map. They never really cared
who let the dogs out. There
was no concern over Y2K
(and they probably dont know
what that means).
They probably arent
haunted by that squeaking,
static of the dial-up noise,
and have never had to get
off the Internet so someone
else in the house could use
the telephone. Beanie Babies
were never collectible toys
you kept the tag on so they
would remain valuable. They
dont understand the term
roll down your window, or
Dont touch that dial. The
song lyric, Shake it like a
Polaroid picture, means
nothing to them.

Today is the rst full day of
the 2014 Canal Days celebra-
tion and let me tell you, if you
didnt make it uptown Thurs-
day or last evening, youve al-
ready missed a lot.
The Toast saw more than
500 people gather to raise a
glass or our fair city and enjoy
each others company.
The Battle of the Business-
es waged on Friday.
Todays schedule is packed
with activities for all ages, in-
cluding a pancake and sausage
breakfast, bingo, the sidewalk
art contest, the quilt show, the
ArtFest exhibit, as well as the
art show, a bake sale, the pet
parade, kiddie tractor pull, the
childrens activities, the car
show and more.
The highlight of the eve-
ning will be Brother Believe
Me at 8 p.m. in the Entertain-
ment Tent.
Dont forget to watch for
teams scrambling to nd the
Off the Wall Scavenger
Hunt items.
The 5-K walk/run, parade
and rafes will be held on
Sunday.
Canal Days is a lot more
than what you can do. Its also
about who you see. Its great
to nd old friends and remi-
nisce while enjoying a carni-
val atmosphere. New friends
are also a possibility.
However it turns out, sup-
porting Canal Days is sup-
porting your community. The
proceeds are returned to the
police department, re de-
partment, Boy Scouts, Canal
Commission Museum, Del-
phos Museum of Postal His-
tory and more.
So, while youre enjoying
that beverage or chicken din-
ner, remember, its not just for
you.
This weekend always
brings back memories for me.
I can also recall the Canal
Days when Delphos was cel-
ebrating its 125th birthday.
The remember when Canal
Days stories weve published
recently mentioned that event.
There was quite a produc-
tion with a play put on at the
football stadium. My mother
and I dressed up in period cos-
tumes and danced and sang. It
was fun at the time but I dont
think public singing and danc-
ing is in my future now un-
less a few adult beverages are
involved and I am somehow
found to be unsupervised.
Anyway, the point is the
whole town got involved in
this production. There were
hundreds of us choreographed
and costumed for the event.
The annual event has been
brought back to its former
glory and even surpassed it.
It seems to be the place to be.
People come home on this
weekend because they know
where they can nd their
friends and relatives.
I can also remember my
rst Pet Parade. I thought it
was such a great idea and it
brought a lot of people uptown
in the late morning when it
was usually a little slower.
Purse Bingo was a fantas-
tic idea. The rst one was at
a time when you hadnt heard
much about them yet so it was
a really big deal. We all know
how that turned out for me so
Ill be excusing myself from
that activity today. I think its
best for everyone.
The rst year the Canal
Commission Museum was
open during Canal Days, I
saw a model of the Miami-
Erie Canal lock my neigh-
bor, Bill Berry, built. It was
a small-scale endeavor with a
lot of detail and I can remem-
ber him painstakingly gluing
each piece together right down
to the fake grass and the little
horses pulling the canal boat.
I should also add that it was a
working model.
That was the rst time I
had ever been in the Canal
Museum for a full tour. I was
more than impressed to see
Bills work included. I felt I
also had a little bit of owner-
ship in it. I had devoted a lot
of time watching and asking
questions as he nished the
project. Im sure he was at his
wits end by the time it was
done due to the company he
was keeping.
Thats one of my fondest
memories of Canal Days. I
hope you, too, nd that special
memory this weekend.

Every year the national book community rallies together
to celebrate the freedom to read and ght against censorship
by holding reading sessions, displays, and other community
activities. Banned Books Week will be celebrated in 2014 the
week of September 21-27. This year a special emphasis will
be placed on Graphic Novels and their place in the history of
reading.
Banned Books Week was created in 1982 after a dramatic
increase in the number of books being challenged in schools,
libraries, and book stores. Since that time, groups have at-
tempted to ban more than 11,000 titles, with many of the books
considered classics. Last year, more than 300 more were added
to the list. The top ten most challenged books in 2013 were:
1) Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey
2) The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
3) The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by
Sherman Alexie
4) Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
5) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
6) A Bad Boy Can Be Good For A Girl by Tanya Lee
Stone
7) Looking For Alaska by John Green
8) The Perks of Being a Wallower by John Green
9) Bless Me Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya
10) Bone by Jeff Smith
Notice that on that list is a series of books written for chil-
dren from 7-10 years-old (Captain Underpants), three wildly
popular books aimed at young adult girls (Hunger Games,
Wallower, Alaska), and a book written by a Presidential
Medal of Freedom and Pulitzer Prize Winner (Toni Morrison).
Yet groups attempted to have all these books removed from
shelves for reasons ranging from offensive language, smoking,
religious viewpoints, violence, or political viewpoints.
Freedom of speech is guaranteed in America by the First
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. There are exceptions
to the right, including incitement, obscenity, defamation, and
fraud, among others. Although many countries around the
world have freedom of speech laws, those in the U.S. are con-
sidered some of the broadest. The right has been defended in
the past against local, state, and the federal governments, pri-
vate citizens and organizations, and we suspect will continue to
be attacked in the future.
The reason for the battles against censorship is simple: If
certain books are to be banned, who is able to decide what is t
to read and what is not? Once that decision is made, America
steps onto a slippery slope that may sweep up any number of
books and, perhaps, other freedoms that we take for granted,
along the way.
Some of the books in the past that have been banned or chal-
lenged include The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The
Call of the Wild, Catch-22, For Whom the Bell Tolls,
Gone With the Wind, The Grapes of Wrath, Moby Dick,
The Red Badge of Courage, The Scarlet Letter, and Uncle
Toms Cabin. These are classics that helped shape American
literature and culture.
This editorial began with two quotes. Quote 1 is from To
Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Quote 2 is taken from
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, considered by some
to be the rst great American novel. Both of these titles have
also been challenged.
Perhaps the best way to consider the importance of this
issue is to consider this nal quote from another challenged
book. Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 tells the tale of a dys-
topian society that has banned all books. Enforcement ofcials
known as remen gather together any books that are found
and burn them. The title refers to the ignition point of paper.
Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if youd drop
dead in ten seconds. See the world. Its more fantastic than any
dream made or paid for in factories.
We encourage everyone to take part in Banned Books Week
by participating in an event or simply reading one of the thou-
sands of books that have been challenged.

Making memories at Canal Days
To the editor
The fair is over, the junior fair exhibitors
are back in school, and the rabbits are back
at home. This year the rabbit exhibitors and
rabbits spent the fair in a new rabbit barn.
The barn started about three years ago with
fund raising, money making projects, and
donations. This summer the building was
constructed, just in time for the fair. This
project has been talked about for decades,
and this year it became reality.
This new cleaner, safer, and user
friendly barn brought thousands of com-
plements and praises. There are so many
people to thanks. Over the past three
years, hours of planning, designing, and
fund raising has taken place. Many sup-
porters purchased tickets, and partici-
pated in dinners. Thanks to all of you!
Many people spent hours getting the nal
preparations nished in time for the fair.
Again thank you!
Outside the barn stood a tier of donors
who nancially supported the project.

As the world has grown smaller, more
volatile and more unstable, how the United
States is perceived by the rest of the world
has taken on new meaning.
With about 320 million people, the Unit-
ed States represents a small percentage of
the worlds seven billion inhabitants. While
we represent the worlds economic and mili-
tary power, we are perceived as an arrogant
bully.
Over half the worlds population does not
understand or appreciate our culture. And we
dont understand theirs. Billions of people live
in poverty and they struggle just to survive.
Starvation, violence and death are daily chal-
lenges. Thats a basis for resentment.
About four billion people in the world
live comfortably. They are educated and a
part of the new Global Economy. Their lives
are improving. They are staking a claim for
their share of the limited resources.
Putting our way of life in danger are
brutal, barbaric extremists intent on terror-
izing freedom-loving people who refuse to
join them in killing Americans. First, there
was al-Qaida. That cockroach organization
spawned the Islamic State and there is a ji-
hadi cell known as the Khorasan group that
is led by Yemeni bomb-makers and Western
extremists who are an imminent threat.
Since Sept. 11, many Americans have
been asking themselves: Why do so many
people around the world hate us?
Too many Americans dont want to an-
swer that question. Were the good guys,
right? After all, we police the world. We feed
the starving. We rid the world of vicious dic-
tators. And we are always there to negotiate
disputes and provide disaster relief.
Were able to do that because we have
economic power, political power, military
muscle and a willingness (obligation) to be
the worlds police. They should thank us and
respect us, right?
Our position carries awesome responsi-
bility. While we deserve respect, our actions
also create resentment and hatred. In some
conicts our policies have been meddle-
some, heavy-handed and downright unsa-
vory. We often arm both sides of a conict.
Its often best to avoid civil wars.
Our policies have often conicted with
cultures. Not all countries have appreciated
our meddling and our preaching. They dont
mind getting our food, foreign aid and our
humanitarian aid, but they dont want our
continued involvement.
As weve helped countries become part of
the Global Economy, they have developed an
appetite for a better life. Things Americans
have taken for granted are highly prized by
this growing class of world consumers.
People around the world see Americans
as the leading consumers of just about ev-
erything. We dont just have it all, we want
even more.
Making it worse, they see us as the big-
gest wasters of valuable resourcesand we
dont seem to care. In their cultures, that is a
sin and it is unforgivable. Some of our free-
doms offend their religions.
Americans dont apologize for their bless-
ings, or for their waste of precious resources.
Foreigners hate our arrogance and our supe-
rior attitude. They say were the ones who
dont understand and just dont get it. We
cant think we can settle their tribal wars that
have been festering for hundreds of years.
*******
How do Americans look to people in oth-
er parts of the world?
We have an abundance of food. We waste
more food in a month than billions of people
have to eat in a year. No one starves in Amer-
ica. We have a variety of foods unmatched
anywhere. In America, more people suffer
from obesity (overeating) than from hunger.
We cant live without our vehicles. Most
of them guzzle fuel (but its getting better).
We consume more oil per capita than any-
one. We have electricity on demand. How
does that look to most of the world?
To most Americans, thats not our prob-
lem. We cant worry about them because we
have our own problems. Like, how can our
kids afford a private college? How can we
build a summer vacation home on a northern
lake, or buy a winter vacation home in the
south?
We have so many electronic toys and rec-
reational vehicles, such as boats, snowmo-
biles, motor homes, SUVs and home enter-
tainment systems. We have closets the size
of some garages lled with clothes and shoes
for every occasion.
We have gas stations, restaurants and
shopping centers everywhere. We have beau-
tiful schools, colleges and learning centers.
We have newspapers, radio stations and tele-
vision stations to keep us informed and en-
tertained about every topic and event.
Were obsessed with entertainment. Our he-
roes are athletes and entertainers. The enter-
tainment industry holds over 300 silly awards
shows a year! Why would Americans possibly
care what the Kardashians are doing?
We take our health care for granted. We
have drugs and medical procedures to cure
us of about everything and to help us live
longer, look younger and healthier. Billions
of people rarely see a real doctor in their
lifetimes.
Billions of people have never had clean
water to drink. They would certainly never
waste good water. Americans pay good mon-
ey to drink bottled water. Is it any wonder
people around the world resent us?
We need to appreciate our blessings. We
need to understand other cultures. Our good
deeds wont always be appreciated. That
cant stop us, however, from working for
peace. Yet, the cockroaches will just keep
coming after us.

Why so much animosity for Americans?
(From page A6)
Ask them what two bits are.
Unless they answer that its
something the cheerleaders do
a cheer about, the obvious an-
swer will be, I dont know. I
asked my cheerleader daughter
what two bits meant, and she
admitted she had no idea. Of
course, when I was her age I
dont think I understood either.
You mean a quarter, right?
I conrmed with someone.
Then why dont you just say a
quarter? It was a good point.
These are the kids who have
grown up with mp3s, not CDs
or cassettes, records, and espe-
cially not 8-track tapes. They
only know Dale Earnhardt Jr.,
not just his dad. From the kids
perspective, the U.S. has always
been at war in Afghanistan,
making copies for these kids
has always involved pushing a
button, there has always been
satellite radio, and, until re-
cently, Tiger Woods has always
been the worlds top golfer.
It seems as if the young gen-
eration will never ever remem-
ber trying to nd a working
pay phone, the phone book, or
talking on a ip phone, let alone
answering machines, much in
the same way older genera-
tions have trouble remember-
ing dialing fewer than seven
digits to make a call, having
to use a party line or dial a ro-
tary phone. And these kids will
probably never know about hav-
ing a conversation interrupted
by a call on the land line from
a telemarketer.

To the editor,
My sisters and I would like
to say a public thank you to the
nurses and staff at both assist-
ing living Van Crest and the
Inpatient Hospice Center in Van
Wert.
Our parents moved to as-
sisted living almost ve years
ago. They were made to feel
welcome and part of the fam-
ily from day one. Three years
ago we lost our dad. After his
death the staff made sure mom
was well taken care of. She and
dad had been together for 73
years. It was a hard time for
her. Mom passed away recently
at the age of 103. They looked
out for her until she was trans-
ferred to inpatient hospice. The
staff at hospice are also special,
caring people. They didnt have
mom long enough to know her,
although they did get to experi-
ence her spunkiness. Moms -
nal days were made as comfort-
able as possible for her as well
as our family. We are grateful
that our community offers these
facilities and staffs them with
exceptional people to care for
our loved ones and allow them
dignity at the end of life. Thank
you.

HOME COUNTRY
BY SLIM RANDLES
When we rst noticed the baby sparrow, here at the house, it
saddened us all. He had fallen from his nest and was slowly walk-
ing around the front yard under the tree while his mother and fa-
ther had an absolute t.
We knew we were looking at a dead baby bird, as it was only
a question of who does it, where it is done, and how long before it
happens. Years of experience in these kinds of things have taught
us the nality of a baby bird falling out of a tree. Would the end
come from a cat, or from a raccoon wandering up from Lewis
Creek, or a snake? One of the problems with being a baby bird is
that almost everything with teeth wants to eat you, and if you cant
y, theres not much you can do about it. We learned that picking
the baby up and putting him back in the nest wouldnt work, so we
were forced to just watch his timid movements around the yard
and whisper to him, Im sorry, pal.
You might think that the older we get, the tougher our shells
become to these little natural tragedies, but it doesnt seem to work
that way. Maybe its because weve now had children of our own,
and grandchildren, too. Maybe thats why it actually hurts more to
see a helpless baby bird today than when we were 11 and riding
our bikes on the river trails. Back then we were bulletproof, ex-
ible, and immortal. But we learned things over the years. We saw
people our age die. We saw younger people die. We accumulated
our own little collection of personal tragedies.
Then the baby found the drain spout. Yep, that little rascal
hopped into the drain spout coming off the roof and had sense
enough to stay in there, coming to the edge of his cave only for
meals from his anxious mother. A week later, I thought I recog-
nized him sitting on a tree branch, looking smug. He wasnt in the
drain spout and I didnt see any feathers around on the ground.
We live in an age of small, but important, miracles.

BY TAMI ABDOLLAH AND ELLIOT SPAGAT
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) A rapidly expanding digital net-
work that uses cameras mounted to trafc signals and po-
lice cruisers captures the movements of millions of vehicles
across the U.S., regardless of whether the drivers are being
investigated by law enforcement.
The license plate scanning systems have multiplied across
the U.S. over the last decade, funded largely by Homeland
Security grants, and judges recently have upheld authorities
rights to keep details from hundreds of millions of scans a
secret from the public.
Such decisions come as a patchwork of local laws and reg-
ulations govern the use of such technology and the distribu-
tion of the information they collect, inaming civil liberties
advocates who see this as the next battleground in the ght
over high-tech surveillance.
If Im not being investigated for a crime, there shouldnt
be a secret police le on me that details where I go, where
I shop, where I visit, said Michael Robertson, a tech entre-
preneur ghting in court for access to his own les. Thats
crazy, Nazi police-type stuff.
A San Diego judge has tentatively ruled that a local gov-
ernment agency can deny Robertsons request for scans on
his own vehicle under Californias open records law because
the information pertains to police investigations. Superior
Court Judge Katherine Bacal heard additional arguments in
the case Friday and plans to issue a nal decision soon.
Robertson said he plans to appeal if the tentative decision
stands.
The San Diego case comes less than a month after another
state judge, using the same reasoning, denied a petition by
the ACLU of Southern California and the Electronic Frontier
Foundation for one week of records on all vehicles collect-
ed by the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department. The ACLU says that network
adds 3 million scans each week to a database shared with
dozens of other agencies that now includes details from more
than 455 million encounters.
About 7 in 10 law enforcement agencies used license plate
scanners in 2012 and an overwhelming majority planned to
acquire such systems or expand their use, according to a
study by the Police Executive Research Forum, a research
and policy group.
Civil liberties advocates say these les need to be open to
public scrutiny to prevent government overreach and uncon-
stitutional privacy invasions.
On the other side are government and law enforcement
ofcials who say theyre not misusing the systems and that
tracking and storing the data can help with criminal investi-
gations, either to incriminate or exonerate a suspect.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone
(AP) Sierra Leone conned
its 6 million people to their
homes Friday for the next three
days as the Ebola-ravaged West
African country began what
was believed to be the most
sweeping lockdown against dis-
ease since the Middle Ages.
In a desperate effort to bring
the outbreak under control,
thousands of health care work-
ers began going house to house
in crowded urban neighbor-
hoods and remote villages, hop-
ing to nd and isolate infected
people.
President Ernest Bai Ko-
roma urged his countrymen to
cooperate. The survival and
dignity of each and every Sierra
Leonean is at stake, he said
Thursday night in an address to
the nation.
Health ofcials said they
planned to urge the sick to leave
their homes and seek treatment.
There was no immediate word
on whether people would be
forcibly removed, though au-
thorities warned that anyone on
the streets during the lockdown
without an emergency pass
would be subject to arrest.
More than 2,600 people
have died in West Africa over
the past nine months in the big-
gest outbreak of the virus ever
recorded, with Sierra Leone ac-
counting for more than 560 of
those deaths.

NEW YORK (AP) Alibaba de-
buted as a publicly traded company
Friday and swiftly climbed nearly 40
percent in a mammoth IPO that of-
fered eager investors seemingly un-
limited growth potential and a way
to tap into the burgeoning Chinese
middle class.
The sharp demand for shares sent
the market value of the e-commerce
giant soaring well beyond that of Am-
azon, eBay and even Facebook. The
initial public offering was on track to
be the worlds largest, with the possi-
bility of raising as much as $25 billion.
Jubilant CEO Jack Ma stood on the
oor of the New York Stock Exchange
as eight Alibaba customers, including
an American cherry farmer and a Chi-
nese Olympian, rang the opening bell.
We want to be bigger than Wal-
Mart, Ma told CNBC. We hope in
15 years, people say this is a company
like Microsoft, IBM, Wal-Mart. They
changed, shaped the world.
The companys online ecosystem
stands apart from most e-commerce
rivals because it does not sell anything
directly, preferring to connect individ-
uals and small businesses. It enjoyed a
surge in U.S. popularity over the past
two weeks as executives made sales
pitches based on Alibabas strong rev-
enue and big ambitions.
There are very few companies that
are this big, grow this fast and are this
protable, Wedbush analyst Gil Luria
said.
Trading under the ticker BABA,
shares opened at $92.70 and hit nearly
$100 within hours. By the end of the
day, the stock rose $25.89, or 38 per-
cent, to close at $93.89.
Some Institutional investors, such
as banks or hedge funds, were able
to buy the stock at $68 per share, the
amount set Thursday evening. Most
other investors had to wait until shares
started trading publicly, which meant
paying a much higher price after ad-
justments for demand.
Alibabas Taobao, TMall and other
platforms account for some 80 percent
of Chinese online commerce. Most of
the companys 279 million active buy-
ers visit the sites at least once a month
on smartphones and other mobile de-
vices, adding to the stocks attractive-
ness as online shopping shifts away
from laptop and desktop machines.
Alibaba stock soars in jubilant trading debut
DENVER (AP) A dazzling show of re and color can
make science come alive for young students, but it can also
inict serious and painful injuries, as ash res in Nevada and
Colorado showed this month.
Educators and investigators say some teachers lack the
training required by law and dont know about standard safety
measures that can dramatically lower the inherent dangers of
hands-on experiments experiments they say are vital to sci-
ence education.
Youve got to have it hands-on, but you have to make it a
safer experience through that training, said Ken Roy, a safety
consultant for the National Science Teachers Association and
a longtime teacher.
Four students were injured, one seriously, when a teacher
was pouring methanol onto a table top and igniting it during
a chemistry class demonstration Monday at Denvers Science,
Math and Arts Academy, a charter high school. A 4-foot jet of
ame erupted out of the methanol bottle and burned one of the
students, investigators said.
School ofcials said the students parents asked them not to
release any information about his condition.
On Sept. 3, 13 people, mostly children, were burned by a
methanol-fueled ash re during a science demonstration at
the Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum in Reno.
Both incidents are under investigation.
Daniel Horowitz, managing director of the U.S. Chemical
Safety Board, said the board has not been able to nd any na-
tional standards for teacher training and procedures.
As long as thats the case, other schools may fall in to the
same trap, he said.
Schools and museums are not required to report such inci-
dents, so no one knows for sure how often they happen.
Experts: Science class can
dazzle with less danger
WASHINGTON (AP)
Its a political rule of thumb
that the public often rallies
behind the president when
the country faces peril from
abroad. Sometimes, that can
help candidates from his par-
ty in the next election.
So far, that doesnt seem to
have happened for President
Barack Obama and congres-
sional Democrats as he ramps
up a U.S.-led military cam-
paign against Islamic State
militants in Syria and Iraq.
Obama warned in a na-
tionally broadcast speech
last week that the militants
present a menace to Ameri-
cans in the Middle East
and could pose a growing
threat to the U.S. itself. De-
fense Secretary Chuck Hagel
amplied that theme Thurs-
day, telling Congress that the
group is capable of dispatch-
ing radicalized Americans
back to the U.S. for attacks.
Yet with congressional
elections less than seven
weeks away, theres no sign
yet that the confrontation
with the militants has im-
proved Obamas drab pub-
lic approval ratings. Boost-
ing his numbers could give
Democrats an important lift
as they battle to retain Sen-
ate control and limit poten-
tial House losses.
I wish, Rep. Nick Ra-
hall, D-W.Va., said Thursday
when asked if he detected
signs of burgeoning support
for Obama that might rub off
on his own candidacy.
All this can change by
Election Day. But Rahall,
who faces a tough re-election
battle, was among several
candidates from both par-
ties who said this week that
the ght against the Islamic
State militants seldom comes
up on the campaign trail.
Rep. Steve Daines, R-
Mont., favored to win his
states open Senate seat, said
voters are concerned about the
Islamic State and the lack of
a strategy that will effectively
deal with this serious threat.
But he said he hears more
from people talking about a
need for jobs and complaining
about federal regulations.
If anything, its Repub-
licans who are starting to
use the broader topic of na-
tional security as a campaign
theme.
No boost yet
for Dems from
ght with
extremists

Having More Retirement
Accounts is Not the Same
as Having More Money.
When it comes to the number of retirement
accounts you have, the saying more is better is
not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple
accounts with various brokers, it can be difcult to
keep track of your investments and to see if youre
properly diversied.* At the very least, multiple
accounts usually mean multiple fees.
Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could
help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it
easier to see if youre moving toward your goals.
*Diversication does not guarantee a prot or protect against loss.
To learn why consolidating your
retirement accounts to Edward Jones
makes sense, call your local nancial
advisor today.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
Dear Heloise: I have a spa tub
in the home we just moved into.
I know how to clean the surface
of it, but I recall you printing how
to clean the insides. Help?
Anne P., Austin, Texas
How lucky for you! I have one
and just love it, especially after a
long trip where I have been sitting
on too many airplanes! Its easy,
and you should have the items on
hand. Use just hot water and ll
the tub 3 to 4 inches above the
jets. Next, add in 1 to 2 cups of
household bleach. Sprinkle in 1/2
to 3/4 cup of powdered dishwash-
er detergent as the cleaning agent.
Turn on and let run 20 minutes or
so. Turn off to let the water sit in
the pipes for about half an hour.
Pull the plug and empty, then
ll with cold water and let er rip
for a few minutes. Thats all you
need to do! Heloise
P.S.: Be sure to turn on the
exhaust fan, and keep the kiddos
away.
MEMORY LIST
Dear Heloise: Because I put
things away in a safe place
and forget where that is, I have
made up a reminder sheet. In one
column is the item, and in the
adjoining column the place.
Stella R., Conroe, Texas
How many times have we all
put something away for safe-
keeping, then cant nd it? Start
a list, folks, but dont forget where
you put the list! Heloise
SNUG SILVERWARE
Dear Heloise: The silverware
tray in my kitchen drawer would
slide back and forth when I
opened or closed the drawer. The
hint I came up with is simple and
free! I used empty paper-towel
tubes and cut them to t between
the tray and the back of the draw-
er. J. Haynes, Hartford, Conn.

DEAR ABBY: I graduated
from college, and Im starting my
rst full-time job and moving into
my rst apartment. I bought all the
furniture for it, but needed help
moving in.
My parents decided to drive ve
hours to my new home to transport
the furniture in a truck they rented
without consulting me. While
I appreciate their help because I
would not have been able to lift
some of the items on my own, I feel they have overstepped the normal
boundaries of parenting an independent 27-year-old daughter. They
also decided they would spend the night in my apartment and sleep in
my newly purchased bed without asking me.
Am I crazy for thinking my parents are not respecting my space? I
dont want to be ungrateful, but I feel violated in some way. This is my
rst step out into the real world. BECOMING INDEPENDENT
IN ILLINOIS
DEAR BECOMING INDEPENDENT: How exactly did you
plan to get the large items of furniture from point A to point B if your
parents hadnt stepped up to the plate? They were attempting to help
you as they always have, not violate you. Although they were mis-
taken, they assumed that after a ve-hour drive plus doing the heavy
lifting, theyd be welcome to stay the night and not have to check into
a hotel. Because that wasnt the case, you should have thanked them
for their generosity and told them you had made other arrangements
for getting the furniture transported and installed instead of resenting
them for it. Your problem isnt pushy parents; its that you didnt speak
up in the rst place.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: Im a 27-year-old single mom, career-focused and
driven in what I do for my son and me. I want the best for him. He is 3.
I am having a hard time meeting someone who will accept the two
of us. Men come up to me all the time at work or when Im out, but
once I mention that I have a small child, its like they run and hide. If
I wait and tell them later, they get upset that I didnt bring it up earlier.
I have no idea what to do.
I am ready to settle down and be a family with someone. How
do I x this? What should I do? LONELY IN SUGAR LAND,
TEXAS
DEAR LONELY: Youre doing nothing wrong, and nothing needs
xing. A man who approaches you and then runs in the opposite
direction when he learns you have a child, isnt interested in the kind
of relationship youre looking for. Hes looking for fun, not continuity.
So be honest about your situation from the beginning. While the
idea of settling down is nice, you need to do it with someone whose
priorities align with your own, and the men you have met so far dont
qualify.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 20, 2014
Choose your companions
wisely. If you are seen to be
radical or controversial, you
will discourage the attention
of those you wish to impress.
With the right amount of
discipline, you will make the
connections that will help you
move forward with ease.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Benefcial career changes
will present themselves if you
are bold enough to act. Listen
to the advice of an investment
professional in order to gain
information that can lead to
prosperity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Its time to have some fun.
Make personal changes that
will boost your outlook and
enhance your looks. Love and
romance are in the stars and
will affect your life greatly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-
Nov. 22) -- Others will not
welcome your unsolicited
advice. Do your own thing
and avoid hurtful or damaging
confrontations. Your helping
hand may be seen as pushy or
intrusive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- A journey to
an unfamiliar region will
provide you with an amazing
opportunity. The timing is
right for promoting your ideas
and pulling together benefcial
deals.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- Friends and family
will be a valuable resource.
Listen to the advice of those
who know you and have your
best interests at heart. The
assistance you need is at your
fngertips.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Love is apparent. It has
never been more important to
be honest and up-front about
your feelings. Issues could
become muddled if you arent
willing to share your emotions.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- The rewards of an
attempted project will be
proportional to the creativity
that you put into it. An
unexpected moneymaking
opportunity will come your
way. Be open to suggestions.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Love connections
and proftable partnerships
look good. The ability to
multitask will be an important
feature when it comes to
your advancement. Look into
educational pursuits that will
enhance your resume.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- You will have to let
others fend for themselves.
Its time to take care of your
personal affairs. Stick to your
agenda and let others make
their own decisions.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Dont be overwhelmed
by the variety of options
available to you. Make choices
based on what suits you best
at the moment. Smaller, less
important matters can be dealt
with later.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Roll up your sleeves and
put in the extra time and effort
required to advance. Money
and career are featured, so
keep emotional issues out of
the equation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- You have a shot at reaching
the winners circle. You dont
have control of every situation,
so make the most of your
attributes and ability. You have
a lot to gain.

TABLETS
(From page A1)
Our teachers have incor-
porated Google Docs and
Google Classroom to share
and grade assignments, in
some cases saving hundreds
of sheets of paper a day, Mc-
Clurg said.
Students and teachers can
access documents across mul-
tiple devices, phones, tablets,
PCs, etc.
Mumaw said benets of
the iPad are they have a very
large selection of apps that
can be used in the classroom
and the device allows students
to function outside of a WiFi
environment. One drawback
to the Chromebook is that the
device requires individuals to
be in a WiFi environment to
login.
Mumaw said students uti-
lizing an iPad have access to
all of the Google apps and
tools as well as other apps
and electronic textbooks. The
etext book allows students to
see, hear, and obtain up-to
date information with interac-
tive links.
Students have French and
Biology online textbooks,
Mumaw said. In addition,
most classes have their own
Schoology classroom setup.
Schoology is an online
learning, classroom manage-
ment and social networking
platform that improves learn-
ing through better communi-
cation, collaboration, and in-
creased access to curriculum
and supplemental content.
With over 30 million
Google for Education Apps
users across the world and
knowing that 72 out of the top
100 Universities use Google
Apps, we felt our district need-
ed to incorporate this technol-
ogy for our teachers and stu-
dents, McClurg said. The
touchscreen Chromebook was
the perfect hardware solution
to accomplish this task.
Students pay $75 per year
and when they graduate, they
get to take them with them,
Mumaw said.
The rental fee for the
Chromebook is $25 per year,
which helps cover mainte-
nance and eventual replace-
ment, McClurg said.
Both the iPad and Chrome-
book have been reported to
work well for testing, Mu-
maw explained. Chrome-
books have the benet of a
built-in keyboard and a fairly
easy management system.
Ottoville students have not
performed their online testing
with their iPads yet.
The truth is, any 1:1 de-
vice program or BYOD is bet-
ter than none, Mumaw said.
The debate between devices
will always continue just as
the devices themselves will
continue to change.

Section. 1.
The executive Power shall

He shall hold his Ofce dur-
ing the Term of four Years,

Term, be elected, as follows
Each State shall appoint,
in such Manner as the Leg-
islature thereof may direct, a
Number of Electors, equal to
the whole Number of Senators
and Representatives to which
the State may be entitled in
the Congress: but no Senator
or Representative, or Person
holding an Ofce of Trust or
Prot under the United States,
shall be appointed an Elector.
The Electors shall meet in
their respective States, and
vote by Ballot for two Persons,
of whom one at least shall not

State with themselves. And
they shall make a List of all
the Persons voted for, and of
the Number of Votes for each;
which List they shall sign and
certify, and transmit sealed to
the Seat of the Government of
the United States, directed to
the President of the Senate.
The President of the Senate
shall, in the Presence of the
Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, open all the Cer-
ticates, and the Votes shall
then be counted. The Person
having the greatest Number of
Votes shall be the President,
if such Number be a Majority
of the whole Number of Elec-
tors appointed; and if there
be more than one who have
such Majority, and have an
equal Number of Votes, then
the House of Representatives
shall immediately chuse by
Ballot one of them for Presi-
dent; and if no Person have a
Majority, then from the ve
highest on the List the said
House shall in like Man-
ner chuse the President. But
in chusing the President, the
Votes shall be taken by States,
the Representation from each
State having one Vote; A quo-
rum for this Purpose shall
consist of a Member or Mem-
bers from two thirds of the
States, and a Majority of all
the States shall be necessary
to a Choice. In every Case,
after the Choice of the Presi-
dent, the Person having the
greatest Number of Votes of
the Electors shall be the Vice
President. But if there should
remain two or more who have
equal Votes, the Senate shall
chuse from them by Ballot the
Vice President.
The Congress may deter-
mine the Time of chusing
the Electors, and the Day on
which they shall give their
Votes; which Day shall be the
same throughout the United
States.
No Person except a natural
born Citizen, or a Citizen of
the United States, at the time
of the Adoption of this Consti-
tution, shall be eligible to the
Ofce of President; neither
shall any Person be eligible to
that Ofce who shall not have
attained to the Age of thirty
ve Years, and been fourteen
Years a Resident within the
United States.
In Case of the Removal
of the President from Ofce,
or of his Death, Resignation,
or Inability to discharge the
Powers and Duties of the said
Ofce, the Same shall de-
volve on the Vice President,
and the Congress may by Law
provide for the Case of Re-
moval, Death, Resignation or
Inability, both of the President
and Vice President, declaring
what Ofcer shall then act as
President, and such Ofcer
shall act accordingly, until the
Disability be removed, or a
President shall be elected.
The President shall, at stat-
ed Times, receive for his Ser-
vices, a Compensation, which
shall neither be encreased nor
diminished during the Period
for which he shall have been
elected, and he shall not re-
ceive within that Period any
other Emolument from the
United States, or any of them.
Before he enter on the Ex-
ecution of his Ofce, he shall
take the following Oath or
Afrmation:I do solemnly
swear (or afrm) that I will
faithfully execute the Ofce
of President of the United
States, and will to the best of
my Ability, preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of

time ordain and establish. The
Judges, both of the supreme

Fallon to pay up, broadcast
show in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) Tonight Show host
Jimmy Fallon says hell keep his word to
bring his show to Chicago, thanks to local
students making good on their promise to
read millions of words this summer.
Fallon announced Thursday on his late-night
NBC show that he would make good on his deal
with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to host the
show from Chicago if the citys public school
students read 2.4 million books over the sum-
mer. The students did even better, according to
the mayor, by reading 2.7 million books as part
of his Readers Summer Learning Challenge.
The handshake wager was made in June,
when Emanuel appeared on Fallons show in
return for Fallon jumping into frigid Lake
Michigan with the mayor in March during
Chicagos Polar Plunge. The comedian and
former Saturday Night Live star took the
chilly dip dressed in a business suit.
On Thursday, Fallon didnt specify when
he would host his show from Chicago, but
he joked of having to pay up on Emanuels
friendly bet with me.
So congratulations Chicago, youve got
some smart kids. You won the bet. We will be
coming to Chicago, Fallon told his television
audience. Weve just got to gure out how to
get everyone there. We have, like, 200 some-
thing people that have to go with us. So Rahm,
if youve got room in your house, well come
and hang with you.
Gospel stars tour after recent operations
BY JONATHAN
LANDRUM JR.
Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) Don-
nie McClurkin can hardly
talk. Fred Hammond could
barely walk. But the Grammy-
winning gospel singers are
preparing for the Festival of
Praise Tour, which spans 31
cities.
The tour, which includes
Minneapolis, Cleveland, Mi-
ami and Atlanta, kicked off
this week as McClurkin re-
covers from surgery to remove
precancerous cells from one
of his vocal cords and Ham-
mond recuperates after having
a bilateral knee replacement.
They are about halfway to full
recovery.
Were not 100 percent,
but trying to get better, Ham-
mond said. But maybe people
need to see that. Were going
to push forward through our
imperfections.
Hammond, 53, had surgery
on both knees in January. He
took his rst steps after the
procedure six months ago, but
doesnt yet have full range of
motion in his legs.
Doctors removed an inch
of scar tissue from McClur-
kins right vocal cord in mid-
August. The 54-year-old sing-
er discovered a cyst several
months ago after having some
difculty singing. A biopsy
revealed some precancerous
cells.
Fear initially struck Mc-
Clurkin. I started to cry, he
said. It was a tough time for
me.
After surgery, McClurkin
went through a series of exer-
cises. One technique: sticking
a straw in his mouth and hum-
ming on various vocal scales
to improve his range. He often
drinks water with sea salt to
moisten his throat muscles.
Last week, McClur-
kin wondered whether he
should perform on tour
because he was unable to
clearly speak.
Ive got a lot to live for,
and I had to make myself re-
alize that, he said in a deep
raspy tone. As hard as it was,
I had to pull myself out of it.
I started praying more. And
each time I tried to sing, it be-
comes a lot better. Its going
to take a moment, but it wont
be so problematic that I cant
perform.
Hammond knows he and
McClurkin will need to en-
courage each other. Weve
both worked so well with each
other, because weve built
such a great synergy.
Sometimes our most bro-
ken moments are our best, he
said.

Wasnt a bad week for the old gang here on Pigskin Picks.
I led the pack at 9-3 (3-3 college, 6-0 pros) to go to 16-8 (5-7/11-1) and the second regular member, mild-mannered reporter of
a major metropolitan newspaper - oops, the Delphos Herald Erin Cox, was 6-6 (3-3/3-3) to stand at 15-9 (7-5/8-4).
Bob Weber as the guest picker was 8-4 (4-2/4-2) to put that combined personality at 13-10 (6-5/7-5).
Larry Heiing, reporter for that OTHER major metropolitan newspaper - uh, the DH joins us as the GP.
COLLEGE: Clemson at Florida State; Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech; Ball State at Toledo; North Carolina at East Carolina; Utah at
Michigan; Miami, Fla. at Nebraska.
NFL: San Diego at Bufalo; Green Bay at Detroit; San Francisco at Arizona; Denver at Seattle; Chicago at N.Y. Jets (Monday);
Washington at Philadelphia.
Pigskin Picks
JIM METCALFE
COLLEGE
CLEMSON: Jameis
Winston is out for
the frst half and
Seminoles havent
exactly been
setting the world
on fre. Tigers
have revenge on
their mind and
they get it - barely.
TOLEDO: Rockets
favored by 14 and
at home. Good enough for me.
VIRGINIA TECH: GTech head coach
in trouble with fans for boring
ofense. VTech should be angry after
embarrassing loss.
EAST CAROLINA: Tar Heels have
academic cloud still hanging over them
and they just arent good enough to
overcome homestanding Pirates.
MICHIGAN: Another coach, Brady Hoke,
who might be gone at end of season
if they dont turn it around to UMs
standards. At the Big House, they should
be ready for Utes.
NEBRASKA: Cornhuskers have more
than a few bad memories to want to
turn Hurricanes into !*@*!*!*.
PROS
BUFFALO: Not sure which Chargers
team will show up. My guess is it wont
be the same one that upset Seahawks in
SD last week.
DETROIT: Panthers D gave Staford and
Company fts. Green Bays defense isnt
Carolinas.
SAN FRANCISCO: Almost picked
Cardinals but that extra three days of
rest and prep work gives 49ers big edge
in the desert.
SEATTLE: Forget last week for Seahawks.
They are simply a diferent and much
better team before the 12th Man fans.
NY JETS: Da Bears have injuries woes
outside. Da Jets should reap the
benefts.
PHILADELPHIA: This could be the game
of the week. Redskins will be diferent
team with QB Cousins but Eagles
slightly better at home.
ERIN COX
COLLEGE
Florida State:
D e s p i t e
not having
J a m e i s
Winston for
a half, the
S e mi n o l e s
will be able
to stay close
enough that
he can throw
this game out
of the park.
Virginia Tech: I dont think Georgia Tech
can take it to 4-0; their lucky three is up.
Toledo: Theyve lost some high-scoring
games and the Cardinals wont be able
to keep up.
East Carolina: Im a Kentucky fan so
basketball season or not Im not picking
N.C. (Editors Note: wow, thats some
kind of hate!!)
Utah: I dont like the Big Ten (EN: I
thought it was just Ohio State?!).
Miami: See above reason.
NFL
San Diego: If Bufalo manages to win
this one, I willwell I dont know what
Ill do. When did they start knowing how
to win?
Detroit: I like the hometown advantage.
San Francisco: The Niners have
something to prove after letting last
week slip away.
Denver: This pick is dedicate to you,
Peyton.
N.Y. Jets: I may listen to Mike and Mike
on ESPN a little too much and Greeny
is infuencing my decision (EN: Im with
ya!).
Philadelphia: The Eagles have some
impressive comeback wins. I think
theyll get the hang of it this week with a
dominant performance.
LARRY HEIING
COLLEGE
FSU: Most experts say this is the best
chance for FSU to get beat on the 2014
schedule. With college football being
like the NFL and suspending Jameis
Winston for a half a game for his
a l l e g e d
violations, the
S e m i n o l e s
will come out
throwing and
win again.
VT: The Hokies
will take
a d v a n t a g e
of the Yellow
Jackets trouble
stopping the
run and be the
victor.
Toledo: Toledo played a pair of tough
teams (Missouri and Cincy) to open
the seasson. Both running games will
dominate but Toledo will win on a more
even playing feld.
East Carolina: East beat North last year
55-31. Look for the East to win again this
year.
Michigan: Michigan defense will rule
against the Utes as a Big Ten team wins
a game
Miami: Miami is the South known for
ofense. Nebraska - Big Team known
for choking this year in non-conference
games. Miami wins.
PRO
Bufalo: The Bills are of to a hot start
and the Charges are sure to have a big
letdown after their emotional victory
over the the Super Bowl Champion
Seahawks. Bills roll to 3-0.
GB: The Lions seem to falter in big
conference matchups. The Packers
will be confdent after their comeback
victory over the Jets. Packers win.
San Fran: The Cardinals continue to
show improvement but have questions
at QB. The 49ers will get back on track
with win.
Seattle: Super Bowl rematch will be
much like the frst. The Seahawks will
not drop 2 games in a row and pull out a
last-minute victory.
Chicago: This is a matchup of the
ofense of Marc Trestman against the
defense of Rex Ryan. Ofense will beat
the D this time.
Philly: No RG3. Philly has the frepower
in this game. Eagles win.
Hoyer, Browns ready to face old Browns
BY TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) The Browns were
moving to Baltimore and there was nothing
anyone could do stop it.
And as he sat in the stands of old Municipal
Stadium, which on Dec. 17, 1995 was a caul-
dron of anger mixed with sorrow, 10-year-old
Brian Hoyer was petried.
I just remember being scared at the game
because of the people ripping out the benches,
the atmosphere, Hoyer said. I remember they
could only play in one end zone of the eld
because the Dawg Pound was so crazy.
On Sunday, Hoyer, who grew up to be the
starting quarterback for his hometown team,
gets a chance to make new memories. The
Browns (1-1) host the Baltimore Ravens (1-
1), the team whose roots run all the way from
Maryland back to Northeast Ohio.
As a local, Hoyer can relate to what the
Cleveland-Baltimore rivalry means to Browns
fans. After all, hes one of them and can recall
the empty, helpless feeling he had when late
owner Art Modell packed up the moving vans
and took the citys cherished football team
away, stealing joy with him.
I just remember as a kid the only thing I
ever knew was going to the Browns games on
Sundays, Hoyer said. Now, all of a sudden
its gone. I think I was just like everybody else
in this city. It was heartbreaking.
This week, Cleveland was on an emotional
high.
After Hoyer led the Browns to a thrilling
comeback win the rst for rookie coach
Mike Pettine over New Orleans in the home
opener last Sunday, Browns fans are allowing
themselves to believe this season could be dif-
ferent. Theres hope and it starts with Hoyer,
who led an 85-yard scoring drive in the nal
minutes to set up Billy Cundiffs 29-yard eld
goal with three seconds left.
Hoyer isnt the only Browns player who appre-
ciates what a victory over the Ravens could mean.
Like Hoyer, safety Donte Whitner was
raised in a Browns household. He doesnt need
any uncle or cousin to remind him that theres
more at stake when the Ravens y into town.
I remember the team leaving, he said. I
remember my family members being upset
and not understanding why they were upset. I
remember a few years later, the Ravens won
the championship. The entire city of Cleveland
remembers that. Every die-hard fan remem-
bers that. Its just a bad memory.
Some other things to watch when the
Browns meet the old Browns:
JOE COOL: Ravens quarterback Joe Flac-
co was sick and missed one day of practice this
week, but he wont miss a chance to face the
Browns.
Flacco has an 11-1 career record against
Cleveland, and hell be making his 99th con-
secutive regular-season start, the leagues
third-longest current streak. Flacco has thrown
15 touchdown passes and just six interceptions
against the Browns. Two of those picks came
in his rst matchup with them in 2008.
JOHNNYS DEBUT: Johnny Manziels
rst regular-season snaps as an NFL quar-
terback were barely noteworthy. Clevelands
rookie QB replaced for Hoyer for three plays
in the second half last week. Johnny Football
handed off twice and threw a pass that was
dropped.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said his defense
will be ready if Manziels on the eld again.
We have to prepare for him in the whole
game, just like we would Brian Hoyer, Har-
baugh said. Youve just got to understand how
theyre different and have your players know
whos in the game and know how their style of
play might be a little bit different.

(From page A15)
For the most part, I was pretty pleased with our defensive effort, concluded the Raider
mentor. I thought we did a good job of forcing them to do some things they dont want to do
offensively. We still need to get better and improve on some things but it was good to see us
bounce back after last week.
Showalter nished the night 16 of 25 passing for 226 yards while the Raider rushing attack
also totaled 140 yards. Jake Dingus paced Wayne Trace on the ground with 73 yards on six car-
ries while Showalter added 67 yards on 17 tries.
Tommy Timbrook picked up 71 yards on 23 tries for the Apaches, who fall to 1-3 on the season.
Wayne Trace will play undefeated Ayersville in a key GMC contest next Friday at Raider Field.
The Pilots come in at 4-0 overall and 1-0 in the league following a 36-7 win over Antwerp last night.
Fairview makes the road trip to Hicksville in conference action with the two squads looking
to bounce back after losses. The Aces fell to Edgerton 48-12 last night to drop to 2-2 on the
season.
RAIDERS
(From page A16)
Ault attempted to lead an-
other pirate comeback, but
pressure by the Crestview
defensive line led to a Jack
Lippi sack to put the Pirates
in a third-and-17 with under
seven minutes to play. On the
next snap, Lippi was in the
backeld again, forcing Ault
to air-mail his intended target
and nd the sophomore safe-
ty, Grandstaff, waiting deep
down the eld for the turnover.
Our defensive line, led by
Jake Lippi, Nick Jellison, Alec
Ingram, I think we wore them
down, their offensive line be-
cause they had guys going
both ways on the line, Owens
said.
From there, the Knights
put the game away with an-
other time-consuming drive
that ended when Zaleski broke
through from inside the one
and gave Crestview a 10-point
cushion.
The Knights threw the ball
only once in the second half,
but used the passing game
effectively in building their
early lead. Zaleski found tight
end Nate Owens for a gain of
33 yards on the opening drive,
helping to set up Zaleskis
4-yard keeper that put the
Knights up 7-0.
The Pirates countered with
an Ault 2-yard run, but a fake
extra point wound up as an in-
complete pass and the Pirates
trailed 7-6. Before the open-
ing quarter ended, Zaleski
scampered 59 yards for his
second score of the game.
A blocked punt by Grand-
staff preceded a second quar-
ter touchdown run by Miller,
and a 9-yard touchdown catch
by Owens established the
Crestview lead at 27-6.
The Knights travel to Allen
East next Friday.

(From page A16)
The Wildcats, set up by a 16-yard shank by
Miller, started at the 41 with two timeouts left
and 1:54 on the clock. They used eight plays
to tack on the nal points of the half. From
the 13, Stockwell threw a screen to the left to
Binkley, who picked up a convoy to the end
zone. The conversion snap was high and the
resultant run failed for a 27-0 halftime bulge.
After a 3-and-out by the defense and a 26-
yard punt return by Teman to start the third
period, Delphos needed two plays to travel 19
yards: a 17-yard pass from Stockwell to Mike
Cline and a 2-yard burst off right guard by
Cline. Wollenhaupts PAT made it 34-0 with
10:07 showing in the third, invoking the run-
ning clock.
A 23-yard punt return by Teman set up the
Wildcats at their 43. Rode exploded for 51
yards and Binkley swept left end and found the
hole to the goal line with 4:51 showing in the
third. Wollenhaupt made it 41-0.
The Wildcats next drive end up on downs
at the Mustang 49 but their next one with
the junior varsity offense traveled 66 yards
in 11 running plays. Sebastian Brown a
guard until Tuesday blasted in from the one,
then added the 2-point conversion for the nal
score with 2:25 left.
We were concerned with their size up
front. Both our lines took it as a challenge but
we never let their size dictate to us, Sommers
added. We challenged our defense minus
Dalton Hicks to play better than they did
last week against Bluffton and they responded.
My assistant coaches on both sides did a great
job of preparing our guys.

(From page A16)
Just some missed assignments and they
came out ready. I dont know how ready we
came out. Im not sure how much worse we
could have played. We missed from the start
we had our chances on the rst drive to get
some stops. If you really look at the game,
third down is what hurt us. They kept convert-
ing third down after third down and that really
hurt us, said Van Wert coach Keith Recker.
We just missed simple things like not lin-
ing up over the correct receiver and its obvi-
ously something xable but when every other
game we do it right and then the next game
we do it wrong this is what is going on right
now and we will x it. But we need to con-
stantly stay with it and then we can turn the
corner as a team, added Coach Recker.
Van Wert drops to 1-3 on the year and is
now 1-2 in the WBL. Kenton improves to 2-2
after dropping the rst two games of the year
and is now 2-1 in the WBL.

Indians belt Jays
in MAC football
BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
FORT RECOVERY St. Johns coach Todd Schulte knew
it was important for his team to get off
to. a good start against Fort Recovery
Friday night.
In all my years of coaching, the
hardest part about playing the Indians
is the mental preparation. In the past,
our players would see Fort Recovery on
the schedule and chalk it up as an easy
win, he explained.
Not this year. Fort Recovery is just
one of the ve Midwest Athletic Con-
ference teams to be ranked in the rst
AP state football poll of the year. The
Indians earned the 14th ranking in Divi-
sion VII and were joined by the Blue Jays
(sixth) and Marion Local (rst). Coldwa-
ter was also the top team in Division V
and St. Henry third in D-VI.
Besides the lofty team rankings for
the Indians, quarterback Caleb Mar-
tin was the second-ranked passer in the
conference along with Cole Hulls nine
yards per carry average coming in, third
among backs.
The Indians quick running backs ran over the Jays defense
on their way to a 39-7 victory to improve to 3-1 on the season.
The game actually started well for the St. Johns defense
holding the Indians to a 3-and-out on the rst possession.
Things turned for the worst for the Jays as they were agged
for holding on their rst play and fumbled the ball to the Indi-
ans with the next play, putting the Indians at the Jays 21. Three
big gainers by Hull resulted in a touchdown at the 7:55 mark in
the rst period. Darien Sheffers extra point put Fort Recovery
up 7-0.
St. Johns offense went nowhere and Deven Haggard
launched a great punt that rolled all the way to the Indians 35.
On the second play, Martin found Mitch Stammen in the
open for a 40-yard pass completion. Runs by Hull and Kyle
Stammen, along with another pass to Stammen set up rst-and-
goal from the 7. Martin hit Wes Wenning in the corner of the
end zone and the PAT extended the Indians lead to 14-0 with
10:28 remaining in the rst half.
The Blue Jays took over at their own 20. Nick Martz scam-
pered for the Jays biggest play of the night 49 yards but
the drive stalled and Haggards punt was unexplainably fair
caught at the 2.
Two plays later, the Indians found the goal line St. Johns
- on a pass by Martin to Wenning for a 98-yard touchdown. The
point-after was no good as the Indians stunned the Blue Jay
faithful, leading 20-0 with 7:45 remaining in the half.
A 35-yard Martz completion to Zach Fischer nally got the
Jays on the scoreboard with 4:09 on the clock. Brian Pohlmans
extra point cut the decit to 20-7.
After halftime, St. Johns came out in a new formation with
Hays in the backeld and they had some success, using ve
runs to reach Fort Recovery territory. A sack of Martz by Nick
Link essentially ended the drive.
Fort Recovery took the punt at the 39 and Hulls three
straight runs reached the Jays 38. Four plays later, he punched
it in from the 7 as the Indians continued to pour it on 26-7.
After several punts, Darien Sheffers kick pinned the Jays
at their 2. On the rst play from scrimmage, the exchange was
fumbled and Fort Recoverys Alex Schoen recovered in the end
zone for the score. The extra point was good as the Indians led
33-7 with 7:18 remaining in the game.
Fort Recovery put one last scoring drive together as Stam-
men took over at quarterback and scored with 1:26 remaining
in the game to make the nal score 39-7.

Anna pulls away in second half, beats Parkway
BY BRIAN BASSETT
sports@timesbulletin.com
ROCKFORD - For the rst
23 minutes and 49 seconds of
the Midwest Athletic Confer-
ence matchup between Parkway
and Anna at Panther eld Friday
evening, the Panthers played
even football with the Rockets.
Unfortunately for Parkway,
an Anna touchdown with 11
seconds to play in the rst half
seemingly turned the tide in
the Rockets favor, and Anna
pitched a shutout in the second
half to roll to a 34-6 victory.
It was a little deating to
give up a touchdown right at
the half, admitted Parkway
coach Dan Cairns.
The Anna (3-1, 2-0) touch-
down, a 17-yard pass from se-
nior quarterback Ryan Counts
to senior receiver Grant
Glover, came on the heels of
the only Parkway score of the
evening.
Only 36 seconds earlier, at
the 47-second mark of the rst
half, Parkway sophomore cor-
ner Alec Schoenleben inter-
cepted a Counts pass and took
it 75 yards for a touchdown to
knot the game at six.
The interception return
for a touchdown came on a
fourth-and-one deep in Pan-
ther territory and changed the
momentum of the game, or so
it seemed.
That was great, explain
Cairns of the interception.
It was a really big energizer.
Alec Schoenleben stepped up.
We werent planning on him
playing a lot of corner tonight,
but he stepped up and did a
good job.
After a missed Rocket PAT
attempt following the Glover
touchdown late in the second,
however, the game went to the
break with Anna leading 14-6.
The second half was a
whole different story.
Anna went to senior run-
ning back Christiaan Wil-
liams - a lot - and the stout
running attack began to wear
on the Panthers (0-4, 0-2).
Defensively, I think they
just started wearing us down,
continued Cairns. They were
a lot bigger than us. I think
that as long as we were out
on defense tonight, and them
being kind of a ground-and-
pound team, they just started
wearing us down.
That started to become evi-
dent when Anna took there rst
possession of the third quarter
65 yards on seven plays for a
touchdown, which came in the
form of a 9-yard Williams run
to take a 20-6 lead.
Anna also scored on its
next two drives, on a 1-yard
run by junior running back
Luke Albers and a 6-yard run
by junior running back Con-
nor Rioch. Both PATs were
good to run the score to the
eventual 34-6 margin.
The Parkway offense didnt
do the Panthers any favors,
struggling to move the ball
all evening on a stout Rocket
defense.
Were struggling to nd
play makers on offense who
can move the chains, Cairns
said. Were just having trou-
ble moving the chains and get-
ting yards.
Annas game-opening
drive in the rst quarter looked
much like its scoring drive to
open the second half, except
a fresh Panther defense rose
to the challenge and forced a
turnover-on-downs with Anna
in a fourth-and-goal situation.
The stop was a huge boost
for Parkway to open the game,
after Anna put together an
8-play drive which started on
its own 46-yard line.
I thought we did a re-
ally good job in the rst half
of standing toe-to-toe with
them and slugging it out,
commented Cairns. We just
didnt have enough bullets in
the gun to go four quarters
with them.
The rst Rocket touch-
down came at the 7:05 mark
of the second quarter, after
the teams fought to a scoreless
rst, on a pass from Counts to
senior tight end Al Alberts.
With the loss, the Panthers
fall to 0-4 on the season, and
0-2 in MAC play.
Cairns was happy with the
effort his team showed against
Anna. I was really happy
with the kids, he concluded.
I thought they played hard,
I thought they had a lot of
heart. We just came up short
in terms of putting points on
the board.

First quarter blitz sends WT past Fairview
BY KEVIN WANNEMACHER
DHI Media Business Manager
kwannemacher@timesbulletin.com
SHERWOOD Wayne Trace scored
24 rst quarter points and cruised from
there to a 32-8 win over Fairview in the
Green Meadows Conference opener for
both schools Friday night.
The Raiders scored on their rst
play from scrimmage and added two
more scores in the opening stanza to
move to 3-1 overall on the season.
Wayne Traces rst drive began
at the Raider 45-yard line and it did
not take long to nd the end zone.
Senior quarterback Tyler Show-
alter hooked up with Cole Shepherd
on a 55-yard scoring strike to put
the Raiders in front just 19 seconds
into the game. Showalter then con-
nected with David Sinn on the two-point
conversion to make it 8-0 Raiders.
We said coming in we wanted to get
off to a quick start and we were able to
do that, noted Raider head coach Bill
Speller. I thought early on we did a nice
job offensively and we were able to nish
possessions with scores.
Wayne Trace also got a much-im-
proved defensive effort against the
Apaches.
Stopping the run was a priority,
Speller stated of the Raider game plan. I
thought our defensive line did a good job
of controlling the line of scrimmage and
plugging up the holes. Our linebackers
stepped up and made plays and we did a
pretty good job of controlling their
running game.
The Raiders allowed only
112 yards of total offense in
the contest, including limit-
ing Fairview to seven yards
of offense in the opening
stanza.
While Fairview was un-
able to sustain anything
offensively, Wayne Trace
marched 79-yards in ten plays to
get its second score of the night.
Culminating the drive was an eight-
yard touchdown pass from Showalter to
Seth Saylor, helping the Raiders widen
the margin to 16-0 with 6:05 left in the
rst quarter.
The last score of the opening period
came with 2:08 remaining.
Showalter hooked up with David Sinn
on a 19-yard touchdown toss as Wayne
Trace pushed the advantage to 24-0 after
12 minutes of action.
I thought we came out and played
with intensity tonight, continued the
Raider mentor. The guys came out fo-
cused and ready to go.
Wayne Traces nal score of the night
came at the 9:15 mark of the second stanza.
Showalter found Shepherd on a 40-
yard touchdown pass to expand
the Raider lead to 32-0, ending the
scoring for the Red-White-and-
Blue.
Im not sure what happened there
in the second half but we have to be
better, Speller noted. We just didnt
seem to play with the same focus we
had early on.
Fairview got on the scoreboard
when Showalter was called for intention-
al grounding in the end zone, giving the
Apaches a safety to make it 32-2.
The Apaches then had their best drive
of the night in the fourth quarter, driving
50-yards in a dozen plays to record their
only touchdown of the game. Andy Rob-
inson connected with Luke Breininger for
the Apache score to set the nal margin at
32-8.
Thunderbirds drop Columbus Grove, 38-17
BY CHARLIE WARNIMONT
COLUMBUS GROVE It was the
Ethan OConnor show at Clymer Sta-
dium Friday night.
The Lima Central Catholic junior
quarterback accounted for nearly
400 yards of offense and four
scores as the T-Birds handed Co-
lumbus Grove their rst loss of the
season 38-17 in non-league action.
The win marked a success-
ful return to Columbus Grove for
LCC head coach Scott Palte, who was
the Bulldogs head coach before stepping
down two years ago.
OConnor passed for 273 yards
against the Bulldogs and three touch-
downs and he rushed for 126 yards and
a score. OConnors arm helped stake the
T-Birds (3-1) to a quick 14-0 lead three
minutes into the contest.
LCC needed just four plays to get on
the scoreboard as OConnor hit Camer-
on White with a 33-yard scoring strike
not even a minute into the game. After
the T-Bird defense forced a
Bulldog punt, LCC needed
only two plays to return to
the endzone as OConnor
hit Dimitri Floyd with a
64-yard scoring pass.
Columbus Grove scored
the next 10 points of the game as Joey
Warnecke kicked a 34-yard eld goal
and Baily Clement caught a 47-yard
scoring pass from Reid Stechschulte
making the score 14-10 LCC with one
minute left in the rst quarter.
LCC went up 17-10 as Nick Tainger
kicked a 30 yard eld goal, then added
a touchdown with 2:23 left in the sec-
ond quarter as OConnor scored on a
2-yard run. The Bulldogs pulled within
24-17 with 46 seconds left in the half
as Warnecke scored on a two yard run.
That would be the Bulldogs nal
score of the night.
LCC added a third quarter
touchdown as Aidan OConnor
caught a 21-yard scoring strike
from Ethan OConnor. Aidan
OConnor finished the scoring
in the fourth quarter with a four yard
run that capped a 12 play, 96 yard
drive.
The Bulldogs fell to 3-1 on the sea-
son.

Bengals try to keep Dalton untouched vs Titans
BY JOE KAY
AP Sports Writer
CINCINNATI (AP) Walking off the eld after another
win, offensive tackles Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith
started lobbing their quarterback for a little love.
Given how few times Andy Dalton has hit the ground this
season, he had to listen.
Andre and I were just kidding him that we need him to
throw us a little bone or something, Whitworth said. I was
just having fun with him. He means a lot to us. We go out every
week with the goal of not letting anyone touch him.
The Bengals (2-0) are off to their best start since 2006 in large
part because Dalton has been able to stay on his feet and avoid the
game-turning mistake. The Bengals are the only team in the NFL
without a turnover or a sack. Dalton has gone two games without
an interception or a sack for the rst time in his career.
Its the rst time in Cincinnatis 47-season history it hasnt
turned over the ball or given up a sack in the rst two games.
Were going for three this week, Dalton said. Hopefully
we can get that record.
Tennessee (1-1) knows the need to end that trend. The Titans are
tied for second in the NFL with eight sacks. Theyre playing one of
seven unbeaten teams left in the NFL in a stadium where the Bengals
have won their last 10 regular-season games.
In order to have a chance, theyve got to get to Dalton.
For us, its more so like a playoff game, defensive lineman
Jurrell Casey said. Theyre a playoff-contending team, and we
want to be a playoff-contending team. So weve got to go out
there and show were able to compete with those guys.
Like I said, theyre a great team and they have everything on
that side of the ball. I feel like we have the guys on our side of the
ball to go out and stop it.
The Bengals beat the Falcons 24-10 last week despite losing
Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green to an injured right toe, tight end
Alex Smith to an injured biceps, Pro Bowl linebacker Vontaze
Burct to another concussion, and guard Kevin Zeitler to an
injured right calf.

KENTON- The Van Wert
Cougars made the long trip to
Kenton High School on Friday
night to take on the Wildcats
in Western Buckeye League
action but were unable to fol-
low up on last weeks victory
as they fell, 46-7.
Kenton received the ball
to start the game and rushed
on the rst play for a one-yard
gain by quarterback Trent
Hites. After that Kenton went
to the air to attack the Cougars
defense. Hites hit Luke Jack-
son for an 11-yard completion
and followed with a 12-yarder
to Colyn Blackford. The Wild-
cats nished off the drive with
two straight passes from Hites
to Kollin Stollar, the rst for 16
yards and then a scoring strike
of six yards on the games rst
touchdown with 7:12 left in the
rst. The Wildcats went for
two points but were unsuccess-
ful and Kenton held a 6-0 lead.
It looked like the Cougars
would answer on their rst drive
of the game when Colin Smith
found Keagan Hardmon on a
third-and-7 for a 10-yard con-
nection and a Cougar rst down.
On the next play Smith hit Quin-
cy Salcido for a 21-yard throw
and catch and, after a face mask
penalty on Kenton, Van Wert
had the ball in the Kenton red
zone. The Cougars would turn
the ball over on downs, howev-
er, after a penalty ag and four
straight incomplete passes.
On the second play of
the following Wildcat drive,
Hardmon picked off Kenton
quarterback Hites.
Van Wert could not take
advantage and was forced to
punt. The Cougars kicked the
ball deep into Kenton territory
and it appeared Stollar was
wrapped up by the Van Wert
special teams but he spun out
of the grips of the Cougars
and ran the remaining 50-plus
yards to pay dirt for a 71-yard
touchdown return. Kenton
took a 12-0 lead after failing
on the 2-point conversion with
1:23 left on the rst quarter.
The Wildcats scored twice
in the second period with
a Hites 23-yard touchdown
pass to Stollar and a 76-yard
touchdown pass from Hites
to Blackford and Chris Dear-
dorff made both extra points
to give the Wildcats a 26-0
lead at the half.
On Van Werts rst play
out of the locker room af-
ter the intermission, Smith
hooked up with Ryan Stoller
on an 11-yard shovel pass but
the offense stalled and was
forced to punt.
The Wildcats continued
their aerial attack with a 31-yard
touchdown pass from Hites to
Stollar with 7:24 left in the third
period. Kenton missed the point
after to hold a 32-0 lead.
Van Wert went three-and-
out and was forced to punt
again. This time Stollar took
the punt back 59 yards for a
Wildcat touchdown to bring
the score to 39-0.
On the Cougars rst drive
of the fourth period, Van Wert
was pinned deep on their own
goal line where a Smith pass
was picked off by Seth Kuhl-
man and returned ve yards
for the Wildcat touchdown.
Deardorff added the extra
point to give Kenton a 46-0
with 10:55 left in the game.
Van Wert showed no fear on
their next play from scrimmage
after the pick six when Smith
went deep to Nicholas Krugh for
a 55-yard catch-and-run touch-
down pass. Gavin Gardner add-
ed the point after and Van Wert
cracked the scoreboard to reach
the nal score of 46-7.
Smith went 18-35 for Van
Wert throwing for 176 yards
and one touchdown. Krugh n-
ished the game with six catches
for 71 yards and a touchdown.

DELPHOS Jefferson
needed about a quarter to stop
shooting itself in the foot ver-
sus Allen East in Northwest
Conference action under the
lights of Stadium Park on Fri-
day night.
Once the Wildcats did,
they rolled up a dominant
49-0 shutout.
Once we stopped hurt-
ing ourselves with turnovers
and penalties, we just started
executing. We didnt change
anything except that, Jef-
ferson coach Chris Sommers
acknowledged. Our offensive
line is what makes our offense
go, and they dont get enough
credit; we hang our hats on
that group. They get off the
ball and get downeld.
Allen East coach Mike Ab-
bey was disappointed with his
group.
My offensive line coach
and I have been here for four
years, and this was the most
inept we have been in that
time, Abbey explained. We
didnt block anybody, whether
our linemen or our backs. We
knew they would play hard
and low and they did but we
didnt do much of anything
well.
The Wildcats accounted
for 434 yards of total offense
(57 rushes, 315 yards; 119
yards passing) versus a mere
59 for the visitors (35 rushes,
51 yards).
Jefferson (4-0, 3-0 NWC)
dominated the rst period as
well, running off 27 plays (86
yards) to 11 for the Mustangs
for two yards.
However, the Wildcats
punted on their rst posses-
sion (their only one of the
night) and failed to take ad-
vantage of great eld position
due to strong defense and spe-
cial teams, fumbling away the
ball at the Mustang 20 and the
6, as well as turning the ball
over on downs at the guests
22.
The rst score was set
up by a Brenan Auer strip
of quarterback Tanner Stip-
pich and a recovery by Josh
Teman at the Allen East 24
with eight seconds left in the
opening period. Forced into
a 3rd-and-18 at the 32, Jace
Stockwell rolled to his left and
threw it to the goal line, where
Grant Wallace jumped over
two defenders for the score.
Kurt Wollenhaupt tacked on
the extra point for a 7-0 edge
with 11:24 left in the half.
That just started a run of
six straight touchdown drives.
The second, starting at their
48, took nine plays. At the Al-
len East 9, Hunter Binkley
swept left end, showed great
patience, got a nal block by
Wallace and hit paydirt. Wol-
lenhaupt made it 14-0 at 6:33.
Set up by a Drew Wannem-
acher deection of Spencer
Millers punt that gave them
possession at the Alle East 44,
they needed four plays to add
to the lead. At the two, Adam
Rode burst in off left guard.
Wollenhaupt made it 21-0
with 2:20 left in the half.

CONVOY With 6:22 to play in the
rst half, the host Crestview Knights held a
21-point lead on Bluffton. Before the end of
the third quarter, the Pirates had come all the
way back to take the lead, but Crestviews pun-
ishing ground attack and a timely interception
by sophomore Dylan Grandstaff propelled the
Knights to a 41-31 Northwest Conference win.
It took only three plays for the Pirates (1-3,
0-2 NWC) to kick-start the comeback. Junior
quarterback Mitchell Ault hit Levi Kistler for
a 22-yard gain, then connected with Kistler
again for another 12 yards to the left side-
line. On the very next snap, Ault found Rob-
bie Stratton on a quick slant and the speedy
senior wideout did the rest, going 26 yards to
get Bluffton to within 27-13.
The Pirate aerial attack continued after
halftime, with Ault nding Stratton streaking
down the sideline for a 49-yard catch and run
less than a minute into the third quarter. The
Pirates were within eight after Jordan Roop
blocked the extra-point attempt.
After a Crestview punt, the Pirates drove
again, but faced a fourth-and-5 at their own
37. Ault bought himself some time, but had to
throw off his back foot down the middle of the
eld. Stratton was there to bail out his quarter-
back, however, leaping over Jordan Miller to
pick up 28 yards and a rst down. Later in the
drive, It was Stratton hauling in a 14-yard scor-
ing strike on a fourth-and-goal play.
After a Crestview fumble, Stratton gave
the Pirates the lead when he turned a bubble
screen into a 22-yard touchdown catch with
1:38 left in the third.
Robbie Stratton gives everybody a lot of
trouble, Crestview coach Jared Owens con-
ceded. Hes as good an athlete as youll see.
They were getting him in some good match-
ups and their quarterback can throw it 50-60
yards, it seems like. You just have to tip your
hat to them.
The Knights, who had fumbled ve times
in the game to that point, losing two of them,
were undaunted, and Owens sensed no panic
from his team.
I never really sensed any doubt on our
sidelines, Owens noted. It was just okay,
lets snap it back on and go get this score.
Crestview (4-0, 1-0) began to reclaim mo-
mentum on the ensuing kickoff, which Miller
returned 28 yards to the Bluffton 49. Miller
then picked up ve on a crucial third-and-1 and
the Pirates were called for a 15-yard facemask
penalty, moving Crestview inside the Bluffton
10. Three straight runs moved the ball inside
the Pirate one, but it took a Zaleski keeper on
fourth down to put Crestview back on top, 34-
31. It was a drive that consumed ve-and-a-
half minutes of game clock.
We chewed up clock there before we
scored, which was huge. It gave our defense a
little rest, Owens added.

the season with the loss. (DHI Media/Jerry Mason)
