DELPHOS They say it takes a
village to raise a child. Delphos City
Schools is hoping the businesses in
the community embrace that thought
through the districts School Busi-
ness Partnership program.
The benets are signicant. A
business may give of their time, tal-
ent, energy and/or resources and the
company will gain public aware-
ness as a business that cares about
the quality of education in Delphos,
teacher Missy McClurg said. In ad-
dition, this partnership will be a great
morale booster for employees by
showing them they have made a dif-
ference in a childs life. People like
doing business with businesses that
support the future of our society.
The school received a $511,000
Ohio Straight A Fund grant. Through
the grant, the district received 620
touchscreen Chromebooks for all pu-
pils in grades 6-12, 12 Google Nexus
tablets with optional keyboards and
styluses and more broadband to
handle the increased usage now and
in the future. Another portion of the
grant is an app development with
Ohio State University in Columbus,
which ties in with the School Busi-
ness Partnership.
Through our grant, we are work-
ing with the Ohio State University in
Columbus to design a mobile app to
help teachers and community mem-
bers connect and share these expe-
riences through social media where
the businesses can be rewarded with
school mascot badges to show they
are active participants in their local
schools, McClurg said. We will
hold a School Business Summit later
this school year at Jefferson High
School where we plan to showcase
the app.
Here are some areas local busi-
ness can contribute to for students:
Mentoring services;
Motivational speaker;
Internships;
Field trips;
Student and employee recogni-
tion programs;
Student and employee incen-
tives;
Naming rights on facilities and
grounds;
Business-education roundtables;
and
Equipment and technology pur-
chases.
With Chromebooks in the hands
of hundreds of students, bringing the
community to the school and vice
versa is much easier and both can
reap the benets.
The economic well-being and
desirability of a community are tied
to the quality of its public education.
Good education is good for busi-
ness. Business-school partnerships
improve the residents perceptions
of the positive impact of business
and education in the local commu-
nity, McClurg said. Any business
or agency is welcome to join. We
hope to benet all Delphos students
by encouraging positive working re-
lationships with businesses; assist in
employability and work force devel-
opment; build bridges of understand-
ing between schools and our com-
munity, leading to better citizens and
employees.

BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT Two area men took a plea
deal and pleaded guilty on Friday for falsify-
ing documents related to a scheme to obtain
a concealed handgun license illegally. Forest
Gordon, 49, Van Wert, and Dain Stauffer, 37,
Cairo, entered guilty pleas in Van Wert Coun-
ty Court of Common Pleas.
Gordon, a gun shop owner in Van Wert and
former police chief of Ottawa, Ohio, pleaded
guilty to attempted complicity to falsication
to obtain a concealed handgun license, a fel-
ony of the fth degree. Both men were origi-
nally charged with fourth-degree felony com-
plicity to falsication to obtain a concealed
handgun license. Stauffer pleaded guilty to a
misdemeanor charge of falsication.
The men will be sentenced on Oct. 29. A
trial for Gordon and Stauffer was scheduled to
begin on Monday, but that trial was canceled
after the guilty pleas.
A Lima man pleaded guilty to drug posses-
sion, a felony of the fth degree. Shad Boyd,
38, entered a guilty plea on Friday. Two addi-
tional drug possession charges were dismissed
in exchange for the plea. Boyd could receive up
to 12 months in prison when he is sentenced
on Oct. 29.
Also on Friday, Melissa Frasl, 33, Delphos,

Women marrying later,
marriage rates at record low
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
The demographic changes in wom-
ens marriage patterns have uctuated a
great deal in the past century; however,
current statistics unveil a trend of fewer
women marrying and of those who do
wed, they choose to tie the knot later in
life.
According to the National Cen-
ter for Family and Marriage Research
(NCFMR) at Bowling Green State Uni-
versity, today, less than half (47 percent)
of women 15 and over are married in
2012, the rate was 31.1 percent as
compared to 1920, when the marriage
rate was an amazing 92.3 percent.
In 2013, Ohios median age for a
womans rst marriage was 26.3 years of
age and on a national level, the age was
26.6 years of age.
Co-director of NCFMR Dr. Wendy
Manning said the age at rst marriage
for women and men is at a historic high
and has been increasing at a steady pace.
A womans average age at rst mar-
riage is the highest its been in over a
century, at nearly 27 years old, Manning
said.
Since 1970, the marriage rate has de-
clined by almost 60 percent.
NCFMR Co-director Dr. Susan
Brown said marriage is no longer essen-
tial.
Its just one of an array of options,
she said. Increasingly, many couples
choose to cohabit and others prefer to re-
main single.
Since 1920, divorce and separation
rates among women have steadily in-
creased. Only 1 percent of women were
separated or divorced in 1920 and today,
15 percent of women hold this status.
The divorce rate remains high in the
U.S. and individuals today are less likely
to remarry than they were in the past,
Brown stated.
The report also shows the racial/eth-
nic patterns in the proportion of women
married have deviated in the past 64
years. During the 1950s, approximately
64-69 percent of women of all racial/eth-
nic groups were married. In contrast, of
the percentages of women in all racial/
ethnic groups married today, 26 percent
are black, 43 percent are Hispanics, 51
percent are white and 56 percent are
Asian.
Lincoln Highway enthusiasts can reserve special license plate
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
VAN WERT Soon you
will be able to support the
Ohio portion of the Lincoln
Highway (the Ohio Lincoln
Historic Byway) and show
your pride for Americas rst
coast-to-coast road as you
drive. On May 14, Senate Bill
339 was introduced by Senator
Cliff Hite of Findlay and co-
sponsored by six other state
senators whose districts in-
clude the historic byway. The
bill will authorize the Ohio
Department of Motor Vehicles
to produce and make available
for sale a special license plate
recognizing the importance of
this highway. While the Ohio
Legislature works to pass this
bill, we need your commit-

The Lincoln Highway was
the rst au-
t o mo b i l e
road across
the United
States. It be-
gan in Times
Square in
New York
City and
ended in
Lincoln Park
in San Fran-
cisco, Cali-
fornia. It en-
ters Ohio near East Liverpool
in Columbiana County and
leaves the state in Van Wert
County. Locally, it follows the
southern edge of the Great
Black Swamp also known as
the Van Wert-Delphos Road.
During the early days of auto-
mobiles, highways were iden-
tied by names, not numbers
as they are today. The Lincoln
Highway, started in 1913, was
named in honor of President
Abraham Lincoln and was the
rst national memorial to the
assassinated President.
Proceeds from the sale of
the special plates will go to pre-
serve and promote portions of
the highway that stretch across
Ohio. The goal is to build an
awareness of the Lincoln High-
way throughout the state. The
travel and tourism segment of
our local economy is already
benetting from the renewed
interest in the route. Following
the August Lincoln Highway
Yard Sale weekend, the Van
Wert Area Convention and
Visitors Bureau distributed sur-
veys to area vendors asking for
a summary of their experiences.
Respondents reported between
10,000 and 15,000 shoppers on
Thursday and Friday of the sale.
With travelers coming from 24
different states as well as Can-
ada. The surveys also indicated
that shoppers spent in excess of
$35,000 while purchasing items
are area sales.

REPORT
info@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT Sales in
Van Wert County made a
jump in July, according to
statistics released by the
Van Wert County Treasur-
ers Office. The September
report, based on July retail
sales made in the county,
show an increase of ap-
proximately 4.5 percent over
July 2013.
Sales tax receipts in 2014
are up slightly over last year.
Seven of the past 12 months
have been increases over the
previous year, although most
declines lately have been very
slight. The 4.5 percent in-
crease is also small. The only
recent month showing a large
increase in sales was March,
when receipts in the county
took a 16 percent jump for the
month.
Collections for the year,
based on the 1.5 percent sales
tax collected in Van Wert
County, now lie at just over 3.1
million for the year. The bud-
geted income for 2014 is $4.02
million, so even with stagnant
sales levels, the county should
have no problem making bud-
get for the year.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, Sept. 27 & Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014 5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
In the early morning hours of Sep-
tember 29, 1982, a 12-year old girl
woke feeling feverish and sick. Her
mother gave her an Extra-Strength
Tylenol capsule and sent her back to
bed.
She never woke up again.
Later that same day, a young post-
al worker died in another hospital in
Chicago. His family, grieving his
loss, met that evening at his house
to discuss his funeral arrangements.
The victims brother and sister-in-
law were very upset and each took
some pills from the bottle of Tylenol
they found on the kitchen counter.
They both died.
And so began a panic that spread
like wildre across the country. Four
formerly healthy people were ly-
ing in Chicago morgues and no one
knew why. While the medical ex-
aminers ofce ran tests searching
for poisonous gas connections, two
re department paramedics were
discussing the fatal runs they had
each been forced to make. One made
an offhand comment about how the
little girl had taken a Tylenol and the
other immediately remembered see-
ing a Tylenol bottle in the other fa-
talities house.
The two men called the police
and the bottles were quickly gath-
ered, put through rigorous tests and
found to contain cyanide.
Johnson & Johnson ordered an
immediate recall on the affected
batch of bottles but it was too late
to save the next three victims: the
mother of a newborn, a stewardess,
and a housewife.
All sanity was tossed out the win-
dow. The Chicago police drove up
and down the streets while speaking
through loudspeakers about the dan-
gers of Tylenol, fanning the ames
of hysteria. Poison center hotlines
around the country were ooded with
calls. Harried workers and volun-
teers did their best to reassure anx-
ious people who phoned in believing
they had been poisoned as well. One
center manager in Washington state
became so frustrated he nally blurt-
ed out in exasperation, Look, lady,
if you had time to dial me youre ne
because otherwise youd be dead.
Authorities quickly established
the poisoned bottles came from dif-
ferent manufacturing points in the
country so the FBI believed the cap-
sules had been tampered with on a
local level. A search of drugstore
shelves in Chicago turned up two
more contaminated jars.
With no leads and no physical ev-
idence left on the bottles, the country
held its breath. A few days after the
national recall, a handwritten letter
arrived at the Johnson & Johnson
headquarters demanding $1 million
or the murders would continue. The
FBI eventually found the person who
wrote the note, a long-time con man
in New York City, but they deter-
mined he had only been out to make
a buck on the tragedy and could not
possibly have been the person who
poisoned the capsules. The abhorrent
grab for money cost him 13 years in
prison.
Almost 3 1/2 years after the rst
Tylenol murders, a woman in New
York ingested a cyanide-laced cap-
sule and died. The police found two
more tampered bottles at a nearby
drugstore and the panic began again.
It quickly abated, however, when no
other victims appeared.
In response to the tragedy, John-
son & Johnson in 1982 had recalled
over $100 million dollars worth of
products from store shelves around
the country. To regain public trust,
they developed triple-sealed tamper-
proof bottles, capsule-shaped solid
pills, and switched as quickly as pos-
sible to harder to contaminate gel
caps. Within less than one year, the
public rewarded them by increasing
their market share to above the 35%
they had enjoyed before the tragedies.
The killer has never been found
and a $100,000 reward offered by
Johnson & Johnson has gone un-
claimed for 32 years.
Here now is a reprint of the Octo-
ber 1, 1982, Van Wert Times-Bulle-
tin article detailing the Tylenol mur-
ders in Chicago in the previous days.
Tylenol no relief to those suffering cyanide-tampering panic
Arlington Heights, Ill. (AP)
Cyanide has been found in a second
batch of Extra-Strength Tylenol, of-
cials said today, and investigators
looking into ve deaths linked to
the capsules have discovered they
were pried open before being
sold.
The Cook County medical ex-
aminers ofce said it was treating
the deaths as possible homicides
and was trying to determine at
what point the poison could have
been put into the capsules.
Across the country, thousands
of drugstores and drug distribu-
tors moved swiftly to take off the
market a suspect batch of Extra-
Strength Tylenol lot number
MC2880 that was distributed in
34 states.
In addition, the manufacturer
today said it was taking all Extra-
Strength Tylenol off the market in
the Chicago area because one of
the victims died from a capsule
from a batch marked 1910 MD.
Lawrence G. Foster, vice presi-
dent for public relations for Johnson
& Johnson, the parent company of
the manufacturer, said the capsule
that victims took was produced in
its Round Rock, Texas plant. The
MC2880 batch was produced in
Pennsylvania, he said.
Since the contaminated pain
killer came from different parts of
the country, he said, someone must
have put the cyanide in the capsules
while they were in the Chicago
area.
He said there is no need to recall
the 1910MD batch from stores else-
where in the country.
Even though there was no con-
rmed poisonings outside the Chi-
cago suburbs, the nations poison-
control centers reported being
swamped by calls that still trickled
in early today from worried con-
sumers who had taken the nations
best-selling over-the-counter pain
reliever.
Two victims were brothers who
swallowed capsules Wednesday
from a bottle bought hours earlier
at a Jewel Food Stores supermarket
in Arlington Heights, west of Chi-
cago, police said. The wife of one
of the brothers also took the pain
reliever and was in critical condi-
tion early today with brain damage.
A 12-year old girl from the
neighboring community of Elk
Grove Village who had a cold died
after taking capsules that may have
come from a different Jewel store.
Cyanide was found in all three
bodies as well as the body of a
woman from nearby Downers
Grove, in DuPage County, who col-
lapsed at work and died Thursday
after taking two capsules.
Lab tests on another DuPage
County woman who died Thurs-
day morning only a few days after
giving birth to her third child were
not complete, but a coroner said she
had taken Extra-Strength Tylenol
capsules from a bottle containing
cyanide-lled pills.
Two more victims were in fair
and stable condition early today at
Good Samaritan Hospital in Down-
ers Grove after swallowing Tylenol
capsules.
So far, authorities have traced
the Tylenol bought from Jewel to a
warehouse in Franklin Park, anoth-
er Chicago suburb. Robert Kniffen,
a spokesman for the manufacturer,
said the batch went directly from
a McNeil Consumer Products Co.
plant in Fort Washington, Pa., to
the warehouse sometime between
August 19 and August 25.
Lawrence G. Foster, spokes-
man for Johnson & Johnson, which
owns McNeil, said he was told by
Cook County investigators that the
cyanide-loaded capsules had been
pried open and placed back togeth-
er.
Sgt. Michael R. Ossler of the Ar-
lington Heights police department
said investigators were searching
records for clues to a likely suspect
such as someone who had poi-
soned medicine before.
Dr. Edmund R. Donghue, depu-
ty assistant medical examiner, said
the more widely distributed the cy-
anide is, the more likely the point
of contamination was closer to the
point of manufacture.
We believe it (the contamina-
tion) occurred after it left the man-
ufacturer, said Foster. We believe
it happened somewhere in the dis-
tribution or at the point of sale.

25 Years Ago
This week in 1989, after more than 400 lift-
offs from the pad at Cape Canaveral, NASA
launched an unmanned rocket from the Flori-
da site. Instead of humans, the rocket propelled
a $125 million U.S. Navy communications
satellite into orbit. The 5,100-pound payload
was expected to link land, sea, and air forces
around the world with the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
National Command Authority, and the Presi-
dents military command network.
Ottoville Jaycees held its tri-skill soccer
competition in Ottoville Park. Winners in the
age 6-7 group were Kevin Leis, rst; Brian Bur-
gei, second; Merand Ellerbrock, third. Win-
ners in the 8-9 category were Raeann Burgei,
rst; Dave Looser, second; and Darren Leis,
third. In the 10-11 group were Scott Horst-
man, rst; Gary Herman, second; and Aaron
Burgei, third. Winners of the 12-13-year-olds
were Chad Heitmeyer, rst; Duane Boecker,
second; and Scott Boecker, third.
The Van Wert City Slickers, Central Mu-
tual Insurance Red team, and the Federal Mo-
gul Red team all walked away with trophies
following the nal event in the rst Commu-
nity Cup Challenge. The only casualties in the
competition - beside some wounded pride - ap-
peared to be a set of bikes. None of the tricy-
cles from the CEO race survived what turned
into an impromptu demolition derby.
50 Years Ago
This week in 1964, stating that the fed-
eral government believes the objective of pub-
lic welfare is to break the cycle of poverty,
U.S Welfare Secretary Anthony J. Celebrezze
told the Ohio Municipal League that President
Johnsons dream of a Great Society was
within the countrys reach. Celebrezze went on
to say, referring to GOP presidential nominee
Barry Goldwater, that those who promised to
dismantle the programs did not understand
that the countrys strength and growth came
from the federal government.
Neal Yocum, son of Rev. and Mrs. Don
Yocum, was accepted to play tuba in the Yel-
low Jacket Marching Band of Baldwin Wal-
lace College. The band was composed almost
entirely of Conservatory and Music students
and known as one of the best-sounding college
bands in the country. Neal was a 1964 gradu-
ate of Jefferson High School.
The Van Wert Kiwanis Club released its
1964-65 travelogue series. On the docket were
six world travel motion pictures that would be
narrated by the person responsible for took the
pictures. South America, the European Aline
region, the Bible Lands, the Aleutian Islands,
Colorado, and Holland would shown in all
their glory.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, the rst battle between
warships and warplanes took place in the
North Sea. Both Great Britain and Germany
claimed victory with the Nazis saying they had
sunk a battleship while English ofcials said
that two of the 20 attacking planes had been
destroyed.
Mrs. O. G. Miller, North Main Street, had
the members of the Happy Twelve Club as her
guests at her home. Tables were arranged for
bunco and at the conclusion of the games, Mrs.
Charles Horine was high, Mrs. Cloyd Berry
second, and Mrs. William Berry, low. In two
weeks the club members were expected to
meet at the home of Mrs. Francis Scott, west
of the city.
In Van Wert, two men and a woman were
arrested at the Trimble Welding Shop after
asking a police ofcer for directions. The trio
were suspected of an armed robbery against a
gasoline station in Winchester, Va. a few days
earlier. The police had surrounded the shop
with sawed-off shotguns and revolvers while
their car was being repaired. The two men
later confessed to the robbery.

Deaf, dumb, blind
but enjoys radio
Columbia, S.C. Miss
Ruby Miller, deaf, dumb and
blind since she was ve years
old, has found one of the
greatest comforts in her nar-
rowly bounded life, in radio.
Strangely, while the spoken
word means nothing to her
only monotonous vibrations,
when she puts earphones on
and listens to the radio, she
can hear music perfectly.
Miss Miller, now in her
teens, is in the tenth grade in
school and hopes to go to col-
lege.

Improvements Suggested
for Lincoln Highway
and Route 66
Improvements of several
roads near Delphos is sug-
gested in a report of a survey
of the Ohio state Highway sys-
tem which has been made by
the Ohio Good Road Federa-
tion.
This report suggests im-
provements on the Lincoln
Highway, west of Delphos, the
Harding Highway, east of this
city on State Route 66.
A map suggests the widen-
ing of the Lincoln Highway
west of Delphos, all the way
to the state line with the ex-
ception of a short stretch near
Convoy, which it suggests
should be reconstructed.
The widening of the Hard-
ing Highway east from Del-
phos to Lima and on east
through Kenton, Marian,
Galion and Manseld is also
suggested with reconstruction
needed at some places along
the route.

Football and
Basketball League
Formed
A football and basketball
league has been formed by a
number of high schools in this
vicinity. It will be known as
the Mid-Western League.
The league is made up of
six schools, Van Wert, Celina,
Ada, Wapakoneta, St. Marys
and Kenton. Some games will
be played with teams outside
the league.

Receiving Bids for

Centralized School
Building
Seventeen bids for the
general contract to build the
Hoaglin-Jackson centralized
school have been received.
There were also numerous
bids on various classes of con-
struction and materials.
Bids for the general con-
struction job were mostly be-
tween $70,000 and $80,000.
The new building which
will house both grade and
high school departments, will
be located on a 7-acre tract
of the Henry Ludwig farm
in Hoaglin Township on the
north side of Deance road
and about one-fourth mile east
of the Hoaglin grocery. The
bond issue voted for the school
and grounds was $122,000.

Mrs. Babe Ruth

Dies in Fire
Authorities held today the
tragic death of Mrs. Babe
Ruth in a re in Dr. Edward
Kinders home was acciden-
tal, while her brother, Thom-
as Woodford, insisted foul
play was responsible.
The medical examiner de-
clared suffocation in a re
caused the death. The police
added that unless additional
evidence is forthcoming, they
will list it as accidental.
State police are anxious,
however, to interview Kinder
who disappeared after declar-
ing that, Mrs. Ruth was Mrs.
Kinder. Kinder was absent
from home at the time of the
re.
It was not until yesterday
that her identication through
Babe Ruth and two sisters was
denite. With these identica-
tions there came to light what
appeared to be a secret ro-
mance in Mrs. Ruths life. She
and the baseball star had been
separated some years.
Kinders brother insisted
the young doctor was married
to her.
But Babe, almost in col-
lapse, said he knew of no di-
vorce and believed Mrs. Ruth
was still his wife at the time of
her death.
Meantime, indications to-
day were that Kinders dis-
appearance was prompted
mainly by fear of exposure,
for he had given an alibi as to
absence from the house.
I have reason to believe
that Mrs. Ruth was the victim
of foul play and that the police
have not all the facts behind
the death of my sister, Wood-
ford said.
What is there to prove
that the house was not red?
What is there to prove that she
wasnt murdered? Im not at
all satised with the police ex-
planation of circumstances of
the death of my sister.

Invited
From a very young age, I
have loved to read. Perhaps
the catalyst for my affection
for books was the fact that I
was a sickly child and spent a
good amount of time indoors.
If an illness was going around,
I got it. I missed more than 80
days my rst-grade year with
such maladies as chicken
pox, mumps, etc. During my
second-grade year, my parents
and I learned I was allergic
to just about everything and
I started taking allergy shots.
Still, my summers and falls
were spent inside so I could
breath. Breathing is impor-
tant.
This is where books came
in. I could escape my prison
through the pages of a book.
My rst recollection of
a favorite series is the Miss
Pickerell books. The series
recounts the comic adventures
of a clever, eccentric old wom-
an and her human and animal
sidekicks. Often, these char-
acters use their knowledge of
science to deal with the chal-
lenges which confront them.
With stories like Miss Pick-
erell Goes to Mars and Miss
Pickerell on the Moon, how
can you go wrong?
Even at that young age,
when I found out a book was
part of a series, I made it my
job to read every single one;
some more than once. I still
do that know.
Next were the Nancy Drew
Mysteries. Who can forget
Nancy and her blue Road-
ster, her friends Bess Marvin
and George Fayne and her
boyfriend, Ned Nickerson. I
plowed through The Secret
of the Old Clock, The Hid-
den Staircase and The Bun-
galow Mystery and beyond
until I was nished and then I
started on the Hardy Boys.
Now I love John Sanfords
Prey series, J.D. Robbs Eve
Dallas, Iris Johansens Eve
Duncan and the list goes on. I
read other books that start and
end the story within the same
binding but I like characters I
can follow and see how they
develop. Sometimes when I
nish a book, I still want to
know more about the charac-
ters and I feel a little gypped
if the last page of a book is the
last Ill see of them.
Im an avid Stephanie Plum
fan. Shes so quirky and real.
I could go on for days about
her Grandma Mazur whose
favorite evening pastime is
attending funeral viewings of
departed neighbors; her moth-
er who sighs and takes a nip
from a bottle in a kitchen cup-
board as she laments that fact
that Stephanie is not married
and has no prospective groom
other than Joe Morelli, whose
grandmother keeps putting
a curse on her; and Ranger,
the dark and mysterious fel-
low bounty hunter who saves
Stephanie more times than
you can count on one hand in
each book.
Im still waiting for Stepha-
nie to move out of her crum-
my apartment, keep a car for
more than a week and decide
between Morelli and Ranger.
Although I have my favor-
ites, Im not really that picky.
All a book has to have for me
is a good plot line, characters
I can relate to and an ending I
can live with. The Girl With
the Dragon Tattoo got raves
in reviews and I couldnt get
past the rst chapter. Stephen
Kings It is on everyones
must-read list for Halloween
and Im still not over the end-
ing from the rst time I read
it. Lets just say I was very
disappointed. As disappointed
as Ralphie in The Christmas
Story when he found his rst
message he decoded with his
Little Orphan Annie decoder
was a crummy commercial.
Why is all this important?
Approximately one in ve
U.S. adults (21 percent) can-
not read above the fourth-
grade level and are considered
functionally illiterate. Illitera-
cy also translates to a higher
likelihood of needing food
stamps or earning below the
poverty level. A person who
is functionally illiterate is also
more likely to end up in jail or
be on welfare.
We need to do better. We
need to make sure our chil-
dren can and do read. We need
to volunteer at local literacy
functions to bring our adults
up to speed.
The ability to read is what
our entire educational life and
beyond relies on. Reading is
fundamental.
This may offend some of
you. If it does, Im sorry you
take offense, especially when
you shouldnt. But it seems
political correctness contin-
ues to rear its ugly head. For
those of you with ugly heads,
please dont take offense. But,
heres the deal: this week,
Wesleyan College in Con-
necticut (Please, Wesleyans of
all stripes, dont take offense.)
ordered its two on-campus
social fraternities to become
co-ed by the year 2018. Ap-
parently, having sororities as
well as fraternities isnt good
enough. Young ladies must be
allowed to pledge the frats.
I was not a fraternity mem-
ber in college. I understood the
advantages were having an as-
sociation to put on my resume
and always having a blow-out
party to attend every weekend.
Those of you who were look-
ing for a blow-out party in col-
lege, please dont take offense,
but parties werent my main
concern in college. Those who
sought to be a part of a frater-
nity quite probably were inter-
ested in the sorority members,
but alas, (lasses, please dont
take offense) there were no
female frat brothers. That has
all changed at Wesleyan. Or at
least it will in a couple of years.
Why was this decision
made at Wesleyan? Near as
I can gure, it is so ladies
can be a part of an organiza-
tion with a house on campus.
(Please, no offense meant to
those people with houses.)
Yes, apparently there was an
aching need for women to get
to live in a frat house on cam-
pus. And the goal of equality
had to be realized. To be sure,
there have been females sleep-
ing in fraternity houses in the
past, so were not plowing any
new ground here. (Farmers,
no offense was meant.) This
move will only legalize or le-
gitimize babes using the frat
house as a legitimate address.
(Babes, no offense.)
Imagine if you will, the
stereotypical fraternity house.
Remember Animal House?
Revenge of the Nerds? Obvi-
ously not exactly houses of
higher learning. Now, add to
the stereotype, a trio of cute
ladies. Maybe its just me
here, but Im not thinking this
combination is not going to in-
crease the level of study in the
house. It was tough enough to
get a college student to study
when I was one. I cant imag-
ine the level of study increas-
ing in the quarter of a century
since then. College students,
go ahead and take offense. I
know better.
Of course, allowing fe-
males in fraternities is one
thing, forcing frats to admit
women is quite another. This
order at Wesleyan requires
fraternities to become coedu-
cational. You cant be coedu-
cational unless some women
are admitted. So in effect, the
university is ordering Alpha
Beta Gamma Mu Rho Omega
Upsilon Kappa Whatever to
have female members. Will
they also order fraternities
to have members who play
the violin? Will they also or-
der fraternities to induct the
president of the chess club?
(Chess players, please dont
take offense.) Of course they
wont. For as much as these
PC-hungry college geeks try
to legislate equality among
people, they only deal in
groups with obvious differ-
ences like gender, economic
background, race, nationality,
and such. Do they care if the
students with greasy hair and
braces have the opportunity to
pledge a fraternity? Of course
they dont. Will they legis-
late to have Dungeons and
Dragons players as ofcers
of a frat? Dont be ridiculous.
There could be herds of short,
pimple-faced, curly-haired
freaks wandering Frat Row
and the provosts, deans, and
accumulated faculty will al-
ways turn a blind eye. Those
of you with blind eyes, never
mind, you probably cant read
this anyway.
And so, women wanting to
be fraternity men, your new
destination school is Wesley-
an University. For you guys
who want nothing more than
to join a sorority, your des-
tination remains a sex reas-
signment clinic. And for you
geeks, your destination could
well be Wall Street, a CEOs
ofce, or the international
centers of nance to earn a
seven-gure salary. After all,
the government or the College
Board of Regents cant make
us all equal. If you happen to
be equal to anyone else, please
dont take offense.

With October just around the corner, the Fourth Annual Read
One Program is also set to begin.
The Times Bulletin began the Read One Program in 2011 in
conjunction with what was then National Book Month, sponsored
by the National Book Foundation. The local program was based
upon the importance of stamping out illiteracy for individuals and
the community.
The inability to read at a functional level in todays society
leaves millions of people at economic and sociological disadvan-
tages that are almost impossible to overcome. Look at some of
these facts surrounding illiteracy:
- The number of U.S. adults who cannot read equals 32 million,
or 14 percent of the population.
- The number of U.S. adults who read below the fth grade
level (functionally illiterate) equals 48 million, or 21 percent of
the population.
- In the U.S., 75 percent of the people who receive food stamps
perform at the lowest two levels of literacy. This also relates to the
fact that 90 percent of all high school dropouts end up on welfare.
- Two-thirds of U.S. students who cannot read prociently by
the fourth grade end up in jail or on welfare.
- Over 70 percent of all U.S. prison inmates cannot read above
the fourth grade level. Some states still use the reading levels of
elementary school children to predict how much prison space will
be needed in the future.
- Almost 85 percent of juveniles in the U.S. court system are
functionally illiterate.
- Children born to illiterate parents are more likely to be il-
literate.
- Girls between the ages of 16 to 19 years-old who live at or
below the poverty line and have below average literacy skills are
six times more likely to have a child out of wedlock than girls with
average reading ability.
- Low literacy rates lead directly to costs to the health insur-
ance industry of $70 million per year.
After a while, numbers can sometimes run together and be-
come a mass of confusion. With that in mind, lets look at a couple
of the above gures and boil them down to everyday concepts.
- If you are sitting at a table with four other adults, one of you
cannot read above the fourth grade level.
- According to the American Library Association, Prose Lit-
eracy is the ability to comprehend and use continuous text such
editorials, news articles, or instruction manuals. One out of seven
U.S. adults cannot perform this function (14%).
- Document Literacy is the ability to comprehend and use non-
continuous texts such as job applications, payroll forms, maps, or
food and drug labels. One out of nine U.S. adults cannot perform
this function (12%).
- Quantitative Literacy is the ability to use and identify formu-
las within a text such as balancing a checkbook or calculating tax
or a tip. Two out of nine U.S. adults cannot perform this function
(22%). (*)
The Read One Program was designed to bring attention
to reading during the month of October in the hope the focus
would remain on reading the rest of the year as well. The pro-
gram calls for area residents to read at least one book during
the month and then to send the Times Bulletin or the Delphos
Herald the name of the book and the author. We will print in
the rst week of November the list of the books that were read
during the month (the name of the reader is not published).
After condensing down the list to eliminate duplicated books,
Van Wert area residents in 2011 read 49 different titles. In
2012, that number dramatically increased to 114 separate titles,
and in 2013 a total of 130 were reported. Even more encourag-
ing was the large number of Young Adult and Childrens book
titles in the second and third years, either from children read-
ing the books themselves or parents taking the time to read to
their kids.
Once again, the Brumback Library and the Delphos Public
Library have agreed to team up with the Times Bulletin and
Delphos Herald to supply lists of the top ve most checked out
books in several different categories throughout the month. We
will print these as a way to encourage residents to discover new
authors and works.
Detailed information will be in the Times Bulletin and Del-
phos Herald next week about how to participate in the Read
One Program. We encourage everyone to take the time to show
the importance of literacy by reading at least one book in Oc-
tober.

sociation.)

Affordable, reliable electricity is
what you expect from your electric util-
ity, and rightly so. In Ohio, electric co-
operatives serve 400,000 homes, farms
and businesses. Were not-for-prot
utilities owned by our members the
folks who pay their electric bills.
Every day, success for us means
that the lights come on when you ip
the switch. And when your bill arrives
at the end of the month, we want the
cost of power to be affordable. It can
be challenging work, but we know that
low-cost, reliable electricity is essential
for local communities and the quality
of life of our members.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) recently proposed far-
reaching regulations for power plants:
both new and existing. These regu-
lations specically seek to limit the
amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emit-
ted while producing electricity.
The arbitrary and strict rules, if en-
acted, will affect the power plants on
which we rely every day for afford-
able electricity, especially the ones that
use coal. Mostly, were concerned how
much these rules will increase your
electric bill.
Electricity is the lifeblood of our
communities. It powers homes and
businesses. Heres one example:
Its only been a few months since we
experienced the bitter cold of the po-

Whether youve been
married a long time, or if
you are a newlywed, you
should know its usually eas-
ier to agree with something
you dont understand than to
understand something you
dont agree with.
Marriages may be made in
heaven, but the maintenance
work must be done here on
Earth. Marriage counselors
will tell you: You should
never lie to your wife, but
she may not want to hear all
the truth all the time.
Red Green, newspaper
columnist, television star and
author, has made keen ob-
servations about the human
relationship condition. For
example, he says, Middle-
aged men think they know
everything. Their wives
think the complete opposite.
The truth lies somewhere in
between.
Green says middle-aged
men always know: 1. What
the government is doing
wrong. 2. Where the benches
are at the mall. 3. How to
make a really loud fashion
statement. 4. How to grow
a good lawn. 5. How to pass
the time waiting for your
wife to cool off. 6. How to
make a complete hairstyle
out of dwindling resources.
7. The location of the nearest
mens room.
After youve been mar-
ried for a while, Green said.
You develop a way of com-
municating that does not re-
quire language. All it takes
is a look or even a subtle
change in body language,
and your partner knows im-
mediately whats being com-
municated. For example, if
your wife isnt laughing at
the story youre telling, trust
me, its not funny.
Green offers these ex-
amples of marriage short-
hand. 1. If your wife looks at
you, youve done something
wrong. 2. If your wife smiles
at you, shes done something
wrong. 3. If your wife raises
an eyebrow, reverse your po-
sition immediately 4. If your
wife raises a rearm, stop
talking and get creative.
With the knowledge the
national student loan debt is
now said to be a staggering
$1.2 trillion, its a relief to
know men and women can
register for some very af-
fordable and benecial class-
es at adult learning centers
popping up around the area.
According to an email I
received last week, anyone
interested in registering for
these couples classes needs
to do so quickly. Due to the
complexity and difculty
level of their contents, class
sizes will be limited to foster
maximum participation.
Heres a sample of the
classes available. Modera-
tors are trained profession-
als. They are especially good
at conict resolution.
Class 1 is open to both
men and women and is ti-
tled: Is It Possible To Drive
Past A Wal-Mart or Bass Pro
Shop Without Stopping? It
is a group debate. It meets 4
consecutive Saturdays for 2
hours.
Class 2. Up In Winter,
Down In Summer How
To Adjust A Thermostat Step
By Step, With Slide Presen-
tation. Groups meet for 4
weeks, Monday and Wednes-
day for 2 hours.
Class 3. Which Takes More
Energy Putting The Toilet
Seat Down, or Bitching About
It For 3 Hours? Round table
discussion. Meets 2 weeks on
Saturday for 2 hours.
Class 4. Explore The
Fundamental Differences
Between A Purse And A
Suitcase Pictures And Ex-
planatory Graphics. Meets
Saturdays at 2 p.m. for 3
weeks.
Class 5. How To Ask

Its apple picking season
according to a recent issue

good and are good for us.
How many varieties do you
think there are? How many
can you name?

are 2,500 varieties of apples
grown in the U.S. Around
the world, there are 7,500
varieties grown.
Did you know there are
over 1,000 types of banan-

There are over 7,500 vari-

You might nd them adapt-

It doesnt take a very big
person to carry a grudge.
And, you cannot un-say a
cruel word.
Most of the stuff people
worry about is never going to
happen anyway. And, dont
judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is
sometimes the best answer.
And, dont interfere with
something that isnt bother-

Good judgment comes
from experience and a lot of
experience comes from bad
judgment.
Letting the cat out of the

In this 13-state regional transmission grid, every available
option was required to provide enough electricity to keep all
of us warm. Without that coal-red power, there could have
been rolling blackouts and threats to the welfare of Ohio fami-
lies, not to mention the potential for a huge negative economic
impact on our state. This region had less than one percent (0.3
percent to be exact) of reserve generating margin available on
January 7, 2014, when temperatures approached 40 degrees be-
low zero.
Electric co-ops support clean, renewable energy. But we
need to keep the lights on 24/7. To achieve both goals we need
every available source of generation. Electric cooperatives in
Ohio and nationwide have pursued a true all-of-the-above
energy strategy. And weve spent billions of dollars upgrad-
ing and retrotting our power plants with clean and efcient
technologies.
Thats why we need your help to tell the EPA that energy
regulations should not affect our ability to deliver affordable
and reliable electricity. EPA needs to know that you cannot af-
ford to pay more for electricity. Please join us at www.TellEPA.

Society
Secret Soldiers, The
Story of World War IIs He-
roic Army of Deception, by
Philip Gerard is another excit-
ing and dramatic story which
includes a Mercer County
citizen and his role in defeat-
ing the enemy during World
War II. The Bill Brown Story,
about his owning the Celina
Auto Company and the subse-
quent 1953 re which was the
second largest re in Celinas
history, was not as exciting as
the story of Bill Brown and
his role with the Secret Sol-
diers, in World War II. This
story has been told on televi-
sion, on PBS, The History
Channel, and BBC
Men and women were re-
cruited with the 23rd Head-
quarters Special Troops to
become phantom warriors in
a ghost army to help win the
Battle of Europe. The military
recruited engineers, artists,
architects, actors, set design-
ers, and other walks of life, for
the goal to encourage creative
thinking. One of those war-
riors was Bill Brown from Ce-
lina, Ohio. Hed been attend-
ing Indiana University when
the war broke out.
He volunteered, passed ra-
dio operator school and code
school and was studying in the
army ASTP program at Grin-
nell College when Raileys
personnel scouts found him.
As with all the guys in the
sonic program, unbeknownst
to him, the FBI had already
checked out his background.
He was then recalled to Fort
Monmouth, the Signal Corps
Headquarters, and from there
put on a train to Pine Camp.
The night we got there, it
was thirty-ve below zero and
we had no arctic equipment,
Brown wrote. They had
trucks backed up to the train,
and there was a voice yelling,
Get these guys back to the
barracks as fast as you can!
It was Railey. [Col. Hilton H.
Railey, Army Experimental
Station.] Bill Brown became
a gunner and radio operator in
rst half-track, rst platoon,
3132d Signal Services Com-
pany Special. They were told
not to discuss their operations.
Railey told them, If you
shoot off your mouth, youll
be liable to fall off the back of
a truck some dark night and
Ill have to le an accidental
death report on you.
Their 23rd Headquarters
Special Troops unit consisted
of the 406th Combat Engi-
neers, the 603rd Camouage
Engineers, the 3132 Signal
Service Company Special
and the Signal Company Spe-
cial. The 603rd was equipped
with inatable tanks, cannons,
jeeps, trucks and airplanes
that men could inate with air
compressors. The 603rd could
create dummy airelds, motor
pools, tank formations within
a few hours.
The 3132 Signal Service
Co. handled sonic deception,
with phony trafc nets, and
fake radio operators. Even
though this group consisted
of a thousand members, and
fought in more battles than
any other unit, the United
States soldiers were not aware
of their presence.
One report from author
Philip Gerard read, August
7, 1944, in fog and darkness,
four German divisions coun-
terattacked Pattons newly
activated Third Army at Mor-
tain, near Avranches, Pattons
headquarters. After the Ger-
man counterattack had been
repulsed, Raileys men and the
sonic platoons were ordered
on their way, Bill Brown, as
usual, was in the half-track
just behind Major Williams
jeep. The objective of Op-
eration Brittany was to make
the Germans believe that the
Americans were weakening
their forces on the main battle
line and diverting them into
Brittany on a large scale. That
would embolden them to re-
main in the Normandy pock-
et. The Battle of Normandy
followed.
Another Gerard report
read, Later in August, 1944,
the Special Plans Branch came
up with a bold plan to use the
special troops: send them
south around Paris to hook up
with the U.S. 7th Army charg-
ing up the Rhone Valley from
the Mediterranean and block
the retreat of the German 19th
Army. It was a charming
and ghastly plan, we would
pretend to close the Belfort
Gap stretch a rubber band
of decoys from Sens to Dijon
- and thereby snag the whole
Wehrmacht kit and caboodle,
wrote Fox. (Lt. Frederic Fox,
a member of the Signal Corps)

Theres something so satisfying about getting out of bed when
the world is still dark and quiet and resting. Making the coffee
gives us time to scratch and think. Well, scratch, anyway. Most of
that thinking will start after about the third cup of coffee.
But its a quiet time. A private time. When the world is dark,
and there isnt yet a hint of pink over the eastern mountains, its
very good. We can relax. No one is expecting anything from us
right now. Our guilt can take some time off, and we can listen to
music or work a crossword puzzle or turn on the TV and watch the
weather guy discuss millibars and troughs.
Soon enough, well have to be out there living for others: our
bosses, our customers, our animals, our elds. But right now no
one needs us except the dog, and she does well on kibbles and an
ear rumple.
We can look out the window at the eastern glow and wonder
what will happen in the hours until our world turns dark again.
People will be born and people will die. People will win honors
and people will go to jail. People will create things today that live
past them and people will disappear forever. Some people will
write about these things and other people will read about these
things.
And then the world will go dark on us again and well think
about what happened in our tiny portion of this huge moving
amalgam and hopefully well sleep easily tonight. Then, when we
arise tomorrow and head for the coffee pot, we can think about
what happened today, and how it has made us slightly different for
taking on the next tomorrow.
Come to us, Daylight. Bring us the new day. But do it gently,
please, and slowly enough for one more cup.

WASHINGTON (AP)
The U.S. economys bounce-
back last quarter from a dis-
mal winter was even faster
than previously thought, a sign
that growth will likely remain
solid for rest of the year.
The economy as measured
by gross domestic product
grew at a 4.6 percent annual
rate in the April-June quarter,
the Commerce Department
said Friday. It was the fastest
pace in more than two years
and higher than the govern-
ments previous estimate of
4.2 percent.
The upward revision re-
ected stronger-than-expected
business investment and ex-
ports last quarter.
The healthy second-quar-
ter growth marked a sharp
rebound from the January-
March quarter, when the
economy shrank at a 2.1 per-
cent rate in the midst of a bru-
tal winter that idled factories
and kept consumers at home.
Wall Street cheered the up-
beat economic report, which
helped spur the Dow Jones in-
dustrial average to a 1 percent
gain.
As the third quarter nears
an end, economists envision
a strengthening economy
through the end of 2014 and
into 2015. Many think the
economy is growing in the
current July-September quar-
ter at a rate of around 3 per-
cent.
Sal Guatieri, senior econo-
mist at BMO Capital Markets,
is slightly more optimistic
than most. He said a brighter
outlook for business invest-
ment spending and other good
economic reports had led him
to revise his GDP forecast to
3.2 percent growth for the Ju-
ly-September period, up from
2.8 percent earlier.
The American economy
is ring on virtually all cylin-
ders and cruising at a decided-
ly stronger rate than in recent
years, Guatieri said.
Fridays report on GDP
the economys total output of
goods and services was the
governments third and nal
estimate for the second quarter.
The nal upward revi-
sion was driven by new-found
strength in business invest-
ment, which grew at an annual
rate of 9.7 percent last quarter
thanks to higher spending on
structures and equipment. The
governments previous such
estimate had been 8.1 percent
Exports also helped boost
the economy. The data showed
that exports grew at an 11.1
percent rate in the second
quarter, stronger than 10.1
percent in its earlier estimate.
Consumer spending, which
accounts for more than two-
thirds of economic activity,
grew at a 2.5 percent annual
rate. That gure was un-
changed from the previous
estimate. But it represents
twice the 1.2 percent growth
in consumer spending in the
rst quarter.
The surge of activity this
spring was in part a turn-
around from the harsh winter,
which disrupted factory pro-
duction and kept consumers
away from stores.
Because of the rough start
to the year, growth for 2014
overall is expected to be a
temperate 2.1 percent, little
changed from last years 2.2
percent increase.
Analysts have sketched
a much brighter outlook
for 2015. They say that the
economy is entering a period
of above-trend growth as un-
employment falls. More job
growth should translate into
stronger consumer spending.

Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) A contract employee who recently
was told he was being transferred to Hawaii set a re at a
suburban Chicago air trafc control center where he worked,
bringing two of the nations busiest airports to a halt Friday,
according to a criminal complaint led Friday.
The complaint led in U.S. District Court in Chicago
charges Brian Howard, 36, of Naperville, Illinois, with one
count of destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities, a felony
offense.
The FBI said Friday that Howard remains hospitalized
due to his injuries and that no court date for him has been
scheduled.
A relative who saw a suicidal Facebook note posted on
Howards account early Friday alerted authorities, accord-
ing to the complaint. Meanwhile, a 911 call from the con-
trol center brought a suburban re department to the scene,
where paramedics followed a trail of blood past a gas can,
two knives and a lighter, the complaint said.
When they found Howard, he was trying to cut his own
throat and told the paramedics to leave me alone, the com-
plaint said.
Delays and cancellations rippled through the air-travel
network from coast to coast after the re. The ground stop-
page at OHare and Midway airports immediately raised
questions about whether the Federal Aviation Administra-
tion has adequate backup plans to keep planes moving when
a single facility has to shut down.
By late afternoon, about 1,950 ights in and out of Chi-
cago had been canceled. A few ights resumed around mid-
day, after a nearly ve-hour gap. The planes were moving at
a much-reduced pace, ofcials said, and no one could be sure
when full service would be restored.
The early morning re forced the evacuation of the con-
trol center in Aurora, about 40 miles west of downtown Chi-
cago. It was the second unexpected shutdown of a Chicago-
area air trafc facility since May.
Howard worked for the FAA contractor that supplies and
maintains communications systems at air trafc facilities,
said Jessica Cigich, a spokeswoman for Professional Avia-
tion Safety Specialists, the union that represents FAA tech-
nicians.
We dont know what his state of mind was at the time,
said Thomas Ahern, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which was taking part in
the investigation.
The man used gasoline as an accelerant, he said.

NEW YORK (AP) Health
ofcials are investigating nine
cases of muscle weakness or pa-
ralysis in Colorado children and
whether the culprit might be a
virus causing severe respiratory
illness across the country.
The Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention on Friday sent
doctors an alert about the polio-
like cases and said the germ
enterovirus 68 was detected in
four out of eight of the sick chil-
dren who had a certain medical
test. The status of the ninth case
is unclear.
The virus can cause paralysis
but other germs can, too. Health
ofcials dont know whether
the virus caused any of the chil-
drens arm and leg weaknesses or
whether its just a germ they coin-
cidentally picked up.
Thats why we want more
information, and for doctors
to report similar cases, said the
CDCs Dr. Jane Seward.
The cases occurred within the
last two months. All nine children
are being treated at Childrens
Hospital Colorado in Aurora, and
most are from the Denver area. A
hospital spokeswoman said the
patients families didnt want to
talk to the media.
The nine children had fever
and respiratory illness about two
weeks before developing varying
degrees of limb weakness. None
seems to have a weak immune
system or other conditions that
might predispose them to severe
illness, but the cases are still be-
ing investigated, Seward said.
Investigators dont think its polio
eight of the nine children are
up to date on polio vaccinations.
Its not known whether the limb
weakness or paralysis is tempo-
rary or will be long-lasting.
The cases come amid an un-
usual wave of severe respiratory
illness from enterovirus 68. The
germ is not new it was rst
identied in 1962 and has caused
clusters of illness before, includ-
ing in Georgia and Pennsylvania
in 2009 and Arizona in 2010.
Because its not routinely tested
for, its possible the bug spread in
previous years but was never dis-
tinguished from colds caused by
other germs.
This year, the virus has got-
ten more attention because it has
been linked to hundreds of severe
illnesses. Beginning last month,
a ood of sick children began to
hit hospitals in Kansas City, Mis-
souri, and Chicago kids with
trouble breathing, some needing
oxygen or more extreme care
such as a breathing machine.
Many but not all had asth-
ma before the infection.

BEIRUT (AP) American
warplanes and drones hit Islam-
ic State group tanks, Humvees,
checkpoints and bunkers in
airstrikes Friday targeting the
extremists in Syria and Iraq, as
the U.S.-led coalition expanded
to include Britain, Denmark
and Belgium.
The European countries
committed to take part only
in the Iraq part of the military
campaign, leaving the opera-
tion in Syria to the United States
and ve Arab allies who began
conducting airstrikes there on
Tuesday. Still, the broaden-
ing of the coalition provides a
welcome boost for President
Barack Obama and the Amer-
ican-led campaign.
The U.S.-led operation aims
to roll back and ultimately crush
the Islamic State group, which
has carved out a proto-state
stretching from Syrias north-
ern border with Turkey to the
outskirts of Baghdad. The mili-
tants have employed brute force
to achieve their goals, massa-
cring captured Syrian and Iraqi
troops, terrorizing minorities in
both countries and beheading
two American journalists and a
British aid worker.
While striking fear into its
opponents, the Islamic State
groups tactics have also helped
galvanize the international
community to move against the
extremists.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) The Taliban beheaded 12
Afghan civilians, mostly family members of local policemen,
in an assault that was part of a week-long offensive that has so
far killed 60 people and wounded scores in a remote province
in eastern Afghanistan, ofcials said Friday.
However, a Taliban spokesman in Ghazni province denied
the reports of beheadings and civilian slayings, insisting the
insurgents were only ghting Afghan forces there.
The violence comes amid the annual Taliban offensive,
which this year will be an important gauge of how well Afghan
government forces are able to face insurgent attacks ahead of
the withdrawal of foreign combat troops at the end of the year.

TRANSFERS/A17
REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
WASHINGTON (AP)
Average long-term U.S. mort-
gage rates declined slightly
this week, after marking their
largest one-week gain of the
year the previous week.
Mortgage company Fred-
die Mac said Thursday that
the nationwide average for
a 30-year loan eased to 4.20
percent from 4.23 percent
last week. The average for a
15-year mortgage, a popular
choice for people who are re-
nancing, slipped to 3.36 per-
cent from 3.37 percent.
At 4.20 percent, the rate on
a 30-year mortgage is down
from 4.53 percent at the start
of the year. Rates have fallen
even though the Federal Re-
serve has been trimming its
monthly bond purchases,
which are intended to keep
long-term borrowing rates
low. The purchases are set to
end next month.
Last week, the average rate
on the 30-year loan jumped to
4.23 percent from 4.12 percent
a week earlier, amid market
speculation that the Fed might
abandon its nearly 6-year-old
policy of keeping short-term
interest rates at record lows.
But at their meeting that end-
ed last Wednesday, Fed poli-
cymakers decided to keep the
low rates, at least for a few
more months.
Fewer Americans bought
homes in August, as investors
retreated from real estate and
rst-time buyers remained
scarce, data released Monday
by the National Association of
Realtors showed.
By contrast, the Commerce
Department reported Wednes-
day that sales of newly con-
structed homes surged in Au-
gust, led by a wave of buying
in the West and Northeast.
It was the fastest sales pace
since May 2008. It was seen
as a clear sign of improve-
ment for a real estate market
that has been muddled in re-
cent months, as the rebound in
home sales that followed the
housing bust began to slow.
To calculate average mort-
gage rates, Freddie Mac sur-
veys lenders across the coun-
try between Monday and
Wednesday each week. The
average doesnt include extra
fees, known as points, which
most borrowers must pay to
get the lowest rates. One point
equals 1 percent of the loan
amount.
The average fee for a 30-
year mortgage was unchanged
from last week at 0.5 point.
The fee for a 15-year mortgage
also remained at 0.5 point.
The average rate on a ve-
year adjustable-rate mortgage
rose to 3.08 percent from 3.06
percent. The fee declined to
0.4 point from 0.5 point.
For a one-year ARM, the
average rate was unchanged at
2.43 percent. The fee held at
0.4 point.

mortgage rate drops

Cougars hold on for 31-28 homecoming win
BY JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT What
began looked like a laugher
turned into a battle to the clos-
ing seconds, but a Van Wert
defense that bent throughout
the game stiffened when it
needed to, and the Cougars
knocked off Elida 31-28 on
Friday night.
Van Wert opened its home-
coming game at Eggress Sta-
dium and wasted little time
in getting the party started.
Just three snaps into the con-
test, junior quarterback Co-
lin Smith dropped back and
threw a deep ball to speedster
Nick Krugh up the left side-
line. Krugh breezed past the
Bulldog corner and caught the
ball in stride. No one would
come close to catching the all-
conference track star and the
play went for a 71-yard touch-
down.
After a Bulldog punt, the
Cougars scored again, this
time using the ground attack.
Justice Tussing picked up 13
yards on a third-and-10 to
keep the drive moving, then
Smith scrambled for nine
yards on a fourth-and-6 from
the Elida 23. After Smith hit
Krugh again for a 10-yard
gain, Tussing found pay dirt
with a 3-yard run off tackle,
making it 14-0.
The Cougars extended
their lead on a Gavin Gardner
26-yard eld goal early in the
second quarter. Jacob Kellys
interception of Elida quarter-
back Logan Alexander gave
the Cougars the ball back at
their own 43.
It took Van Wert just three
plays to score again, with Tus-
sing breaking off a 26-yard
run off tackle and Smith roll-
ing out and nding Krugh on a
deep slant for a 29-yard touch-
down. After Gardners extra-
point, Van Wert led 24-0 with
5:53 left in the rst half.
Thats when Elida began its
comeback.
The Bulldogs took to the
ground, recognizing nally
the Cougar defensive philoso-
phy of taking away star wide
out Clark Etzler. Alexander
and tailback Cole Harmon ran
the read-option time and time
again, and routinely found
success up the middle. For a
Cougar defense that has been
stout versus the run this year,
Elidas onslaught was surpris-
ing, but just what the Cougar
coaching staff was hoping for.
It was kind of a catch-22,
Van Wert head coach Keith
Recker said. If we played one
way, we were going to give up
the pass and we didnt want
8 (Etzler) to get open. If we
played another way, theyll
be able to run it on us, and we
gave them the run. It chewed
up the most clock.
The Bulldogs got on the
board with an Alexander
3-yard run with 2:53 to play in
the second quarter and forced
a quick 3-and-out by the Cou-
gars. The Bulldogs, who were
set to receive the second-half
kickoff, started another march
as the quarter drew to a close,
knowing a score would put
them right back in the game.
Facing a fourth-and-1 at the
Cougar 14, Elida abandoned
the run and went to the air, but
came up empty and the Cou-
gar defense held.
That was huge. We needed
that stop, Recker explained.
The defense was able to step
up that time and did a heck of
a job. That was huge to get a
17-point lead at the half.
Undaunted, the Bulldogs
scored to open the third quar-
ter, but it took them nearly six
minutes of game action to do
so. Even so, Elida had chipped
away and now trailed 24-14
when the Cougars got back to
work offensively.
The Cougars used an 11-
play drive that chewed up
just over ve minutes of clock
and spanned 74 yards. Tus-
sing took it in for the one on
a fourth-and-goal play to re-
build the Cougar lead at 31-14.
Our offense was able
to put together a big drive,
Recker added. Im real proud
of the way the offense played
tonight. I thought we did some
good things.
Again, Elida would re-
spond.
Staying strictly on the
ground, Alexander directed
another scoring drive, this one
highlighted by a 23-yard run
by Harmon to set up a 1-yard
dive by the quarterback and a
31-21 score with just under ten
minutes of clock remaining.
With a chance to seal the
game, the Cougars instead
went backward and turned
the ball over on a fumble;
Van Werts only turnover of
the contest. Elida needed a
quick score and they got one,
with Alexander nding Brian
Upshaw on a quick out be-
fore Harmon went in from
six yards out to pull Elida to
within three.
After another stalled Cou-
gar drive, the Bulldogs had a
chance to take the lead, taking
over with 5:06 to play.
Elida drove to the Cougar
43 but faced a fourth-and-6
with under three minutes to
go. Alexander looked to pass,
but Van Wert overloaded the
left side and Chandler Adams
and Nolan Smith got pressure
and brought Alexander down
for the sack.
We decided to go man
across and bring the blitz,
Recker said. We doubled (Et-
zler), hoping they didnt have
enough time to look for him,
and they didnt. Big play by
Chandler to get that fourth-
down stop.
The Cougars ofcially
sealed the game when Keagon
Hardmon picked off Alexan-
ders last-second deep ball as
the clock expired.
Elidas Etzler was held to
just two catches and one carry,
totaling 51 yards of offense.
Hes been getting a lot
of touches, and we knew our
best shot was to keep it out of
his hands, Recker explained.
We did that. Win by three or
win by 30, a win is a win, so
well take it.
Jays get back on track with
lopsided win at New Bremen
BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
NEW BREMEN The Delphos St. Johns offense has seen
its share of highs and lows this season The cure for a sick of-
fense - play a team that was 0-10 last year and 0-4 so far this
year. St. Johns had a chance to get well and did so with a 42-7
win at New Bremen.
St. Johns made two big plays in just under two minutes to
open the game. First, Evan Hays picked-off a Trey Naylor pass
on New Bremans rst possession of the game, giving the Jays
the ball at their own 35 yard line.
On the rst play from scrimmage for St. Johns, Nick Martz
took off on a 65-yard touchdown run with only 1:58 off the
clock. The extra point by Brian Pohlman was good as the Jays
took an early 7-0 lead.
The Blue Jay defense stepped up again on the next series by
stopping the Cardinals on fourth down and getting great eld
position. Martz had a pair of runs to drive the ball down to the
18 yard line. His pass on the next play found Aaron Reindel
open for the touchdown and Pohlmans point after put the Jays
up 14-0.
For the third straight series, St. Johns defensive backs halt-
ed a New Breman drive. Hays picked-off his second Naylor
pass at his own 24 yard line and a face masking call on New
Breman moved the ball out to the 35.
Once again the Jays offense took advantage of the turnover
as Martzs pass landed in the hands of sophomore Tim Kreeger
for a 16-yard touchdown to open the second quarter.
A nice return of the kickoff by Tristin Hoffmaster gave the
Cardinals great eld position at mideld. After New Breman
drove the ball to the 35 yard line of St. Johns, the defense
forced three straight incomplete passes by Naylor as the Jays
took over on downs.
Another face masking call on the Cardinals on a keeper by
Martz moved the ball to mideld for the Jays. Hays caught a
19-yard completion from Martz and a third face mask penalty
on New Breman moved the pigskin all the way to the 15 yard
line. Martz red his third touchdown pass of the rst half as
Zach Fisher hit pay dirt with the 15-yard completion with 6:16
remaining in the half.
New Breman managed to avoid the shutout in the half when
Naylors short screen pass to Hoffmaster resulted in a scoring
play at the 2:59 mark.
Late two-point conversion
lifts Knights past Mustangs
LCC tops depleted Jeffcats
BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor

LIMA Lima Central
Catholic used a strong second
half to knock Jefferson from
the ranks of the unbeaten Fri-
day night, besting the Wild-
cats 37-20 in non-conference
action under the lights of
Spartan Stadium.
The Thunderbirds (4-1) were
aided by the Wildcats (4-1) be-
ing down leading rusher Hunter
Binkley and starting quarter-
back Jace Stockwell, who were
both injured late in the rst half
and did not return. Stockwell
was carted off the eld at 3:10
of the second period.
With a 20-20 tie at the half,
the teams exchanged turn-
overs to start the second half
and after a second Jefferson
punt, LCC took control at the
visitor 43. They overcame an
intentional grounding call
with a roughing the passer call
and needed 11 plays to take
the lead for good. At the two,
Dimitri Floyd took a sweep to
the left side and ran to the py-
lon. Nick Tainger converted
for a 27-20 edge with 6:40 to
go in the third period.
The next four series ended
in three punts and a Delphos
turnover as the Wildcat de-
fense stiffened.
The Wildcats traveled from
the 20 to the LCC 41 but on
4th-and-7, Adam Rode was
thrown for a yard loss.
On the second play from
the 45, Ethan OConnor, in the
gun, ran a keeper up the mid-
dle, cut to the right and found
the seam all the way to the end
zone. Tainger made it 34-20
with 11:10 remaining.
Jefferson then reached the
LCC 49 on the next series
but was forced to punt; the
snap was dropped and Tyler
Talboom was stopped for a
4-yard loss.
LCC drove from the Del-
phos 47 and on play seven
from the 14, Tainger made
good on a 31-yard eld goal
for a 37-20 edge with 3:44 left.
Jefferson then drove from its
eight to the LCC 38 in six plays,
but the drive then ended as
Chase Lauck picked off a pass
to effectively end the game.
The Wildcats amassed 269
of their 389 yards rushing the
rst half and gained 20 of
their 27 rst downs.
Their three scoring drives
lasted eight plays and 71
yards; 13 plays, 74 yards; and
12 plays, 65 yards.
The rst ended on a 4th-
and-10 from the LCC 17, when
Stockwell found Talboom for
a quick toss down the middle
with 2:18 showing in the rst
period (Kurt Wollenhaupts ex-
tra point failing) for a 6-0 edge.
The second nished on
as 16-yard sweep of left end
by Binkley, nding the seam
and erupting to the end zone
with 8:53 to go in the second.
Stockwell ran for the 2-point-
er for a 14-6 spread.
The third culminated on an
8-yard run up the gut by Rode.
The conversion run failed as
Delphos led 20-13 with 4:52
left in the second. Binkley was
banged up during the series
and did not return.
LCC answered all three
scoring drives.
The rst was a 5-play,
63-yarder, with OConnor, roll-
ing left from the Delphos 48,
nding a wide-open Cameron
White going the other way.
Tainger missed the PAT for a
6-6 tie with 1:03 left in the rst.
The second drive was an-
swered on the ensuing kickoff.
Floyd muffed it, picked it up
at the 12, took off for the left
sideline, found the convoy and
simply outran the Wildcats to
the end zone. Taingers kick
made it a 14-13 Jefferson lead
with 8:37 left in the half.

to give the Knights a 37-36 nail-biting
victory.
Im proud that we won, but Im not
proud of the way we won, said Crest-
view coach Jared Owens. Youve got to
tip your cap to a tough Allen East team
that hasnt experienced a lot of success
yet this year.
The Knights trailed for a majority of
the game, with the gap growing as high
as 28-15 at the 9:09 mark of the third
quarter.
They just played us so physical and
so hard, continued Owens. I knew
they would because I know how well-
coached they are.
Crestview took the ball to open the
game, and when they drove right down
the eld the game looked like it would be
the rout most expected.
The drive went 54 yards in eight plays, cul-
minating in a 4-yard touchdown run by junior
running back Jordan Miller. A PAT by senior
kicker Jake Tatum gave Crestview a 7-0 lead.
Allen East countered on the very next drive,
going 57 yards in seven plays. A 7-yard touch-
down run by junior Logan Schick and a PAT
by sophomore kicker Bubba Butler tied the
game at seven with 6:23 to play in the rst.
Allen East threatened again later in the
rst, but an interception in the Crestview end
zone by senior Alex Cunningham returned the
ball to the Knights and momentarily salvaged
the tie.
After a Knight turnover on downs, the Mus-
tangs took the lead with a four-play 78 yard
drive, culminating on a 2-yard touchdown run
by Schick with 8:59 to play in the rst half.
Crestview responded on the ensuing drive,
with a 1-yard touchdown run from senior
quarterback Preston Zaleski. Zaleski then ran
in the 2-point-conversion attempt to give the
Knights a 15-13 lead.
The game saw a pair of sudden changes
building up to halftime. Another long Mustang
drive was negated by a fumble, but Crestview
returned the ball back on the next play with an
interception.
Allen East made the visitors
pay with 29 seconds left in the half
thanks to a 6-yard touchdown run
by Schick, followed by a Butler PAT.
The score gave Allen East a 21-15
lead heading into the half.
At the break, the Mustangs out
gained Crestview 243 yards to 200.
The Mustang wing-t offense put up 148
yards on the ground in the rst half, led
by 94 from sophomore Caleb Smelcer.
The Knights cleaned up their run
defense in the second, holding the
Mustangs to 137 total yards and 122
on the ground.
You really cant be right, defen-
sively. Youve just got to beat some-
body, explained Owens of battling
the wing-t. We were able to be more
physical (in the second half), play in the
backeld and move the line-of-scrim-
mage back in our favor.
Things got worse before they got better for
Crestview, however. An 8-yard pass from senior
quarterback Tanner Stippich to Smelcer and a
Butler PAT gave the Mustangs a 28-15 lead.
Crestview then began its comeback. The
visitors scored on the ensuing drive thanks to
a 5-yard Miller run and a Tatum PAT, which
made the score 28-22, Mustangs. The touch-
down was only part of a big night for Miller.
The junior running back went for 178 yards
on the ground on 16 carries. He also added a
24-yard reception late in the game which pro-
longed the game-winning drive.
Jordan Miller is ve-foot-nothing, joked
Owens. But when it comes to heart, hes got
enough for three of four guys. Hes as irre-
placeable as anybody we have on the team.

Turnovers cost Panthers
in loss to Ft. Recovery
BY NICK JOHNSON
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
ROCKFORD The game couldnt have
started much better for the Parkway football
team, as it hosted Fort Recovery on Friday
night. Indians quarterback Caleb Martin went
deep on the opening drive, but his pass was
intercepted by the Panthers Kevin Flaugher.
Unfortunately, Mitch Stammen returned the
favor, intercepting Panther quarterback Hayden
Ambromavich and the Indians went on to post a
42-8 Midwest Athletic Conference win.
Fort Recovery would turn the Stammen
pick into points when Martin hooked up with
Wes Wenning for a 4-yard touchdown pass
with 5:44 left in the rst quarter. Darien Shef-
fer added the extra point and the Indians had
a 7-0 lead.
Parkway fumbled on its next offensive play
and again the Indians turned the turnover into
points. Martin found Stammen for a 21-yard
touchdown pass with 3:03 left in the rst pe-
riod. Sheffer added the point after and Fort Re-
covery had a 14-0 lead.
Turnovers were a real killer for us. There
were times when we were moving the football
and the turnovers were huge momentum-killers
for us, Parkway coach Dan Cairns explained.
On the Panthers third drive of the game,
Parkway (0-5, 0-3 MAC) gave Fort Recovery a
heavy dose of the ground game as Cody Coff-
man carried the ball seven times on the drive
for 50 yards, the nal six yards being a touch-
down run with 10:44 in the second period. The
Panthers went for two and Abromavich hooked
up with Kris Gangwer for the two-point con-
version to get within 14-8.
Fort Recovery (4-1, 2-1 MAC) got two more
scores before the end of the rst half with a
Cole Hull 4-yard touchdown run and later on
when Martin found Sheffer with just second
left in the half for a 17-yard touchdown pass.
Sheffer was also able to make both extra points
and Fort Recovery went into halftime with a
28-8 lead.
Their quarterback did a good job of throw-
ing the ball, and we didnt do a good job of
getting pressure. They caught us in some man
situations in which he was too comfortable and
had too much time to throw. He did a great job
making the throws he had to make, Cairns
said of Martins play.
The turnover bug bit the Panthers again ear-
ly in the third quarter, when Abromavich was
picked off by Nathan Lochtefeld for the Indi-
ans. Fort Recovery nished off its next drive
with a 1-yard touchdown run by Kyle Schroer
with 3:38 in the third period. Sheffer again
connected on the point-after and the Indians
had a 35-8 lead.
Fort Recovery nished off the scoring with
a 14-yard touchdown run by Schroer to push
the score to 42-8.
The turnovers kill you. We need to throw
the ball a little better to keep them off of us,
but again, the turnovers kill. We had (four)
picks so we arent doing ourselves any favors,
nished Coach Cairns.
Pirates stay hot with 3-1 win over Reds
CINCINNATI (AP)
Travis Snider felt for Jay
Bruce. He also was happy to
see the ball go to the wall.
Sniders scorching liner got
past Bruce for a tiebreaking
double in the eighth inning, and
the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the
Cincinnati Reds 3-1 on Friday
night to keep the pressure on
NL Central-leading St. Louis.
Every once in a while, you
hit one on the screws, and it has
that knuckleball effect, said
Snider, who started in right
for the Pirates. Its a tough
play for an outelder. As an
outelder, youre going to see
balls like that. Ive hit a few.
The Pirates have won ve
of six and 17 of 21 overall.
They have already clinched a
wild card and began the day
just one back of St. Louis for
the division lead. The Cardi-
nals played the Diamondbacks
on Friday night.
NL batting leader Josh
Harrison was aboard after a
two-out single against Pedro
Villareal (0-2) when Snider
followed with a drive to right
that Bruce overran, giving the
Pirates a 2-1 lead. Andrew
McCutchen then doubled into
the gap in left-center.
Like a lot of times this
year, I just whiffed, Bruce
said. He hit it hard, and its
not the rst ball that knuckled,
but as I planted to redirect, I
slipped.
Showalter, Raiders roll past Ayersville
BY KEVIN

HAVILAND Senior
quarterback Tyler Showalter
ran for ve touchdowns and
threw for four more to lead the
Wayne Trace Raiders to a 58-
30 rout of previously unbeaten
Ayersville in Green Mead-
ows Conference action Friday
night at Raider Field.
The Raiders move to 4-1
overall and 2-0 in the GMC.
The victory was a crucial one
in both GMC play and the
playoff chase, providing some
key points for Wayne Trace.
This is a big victory, Raid-
er head coach Bill Speller com-
mented. First, it keeps us tied
atop the league standings, but
it also gives us some big play-
off points in a region that every
playoff point is big.
The Raider quar-
terback scored twice
in under a minute in
the rst quarter to put
the Raiders in front.
Showalter plunged
in from 1-yard out at
the 8:25 mark to get
Wayne Trace on the
scoreboard, capping
an eight play, 58-yard
drive.
After Ayersville
was unable to
get a rst down,
Showalter needed
only one play to
widen the Raider
lead. The senior
signal-caller rumbled
60-yards for a touch-
down, pushing the
Wayne Trace lead to 12-0 with
7:38 remaining in the opening
quarter.
He is just getting
more and more condent
back there, stated Spell-
er of Showalter. He is
a great athlete and the
more relaxed he gets, it is
just a good sign for us.
The visiting Pilots
twice tried to close the
gap in the second quar-
ter but the Raiders had
an answer each time.
Ayersvilles Dauson
Dales connected with
Jaylon Marti-
nez on a 15-yard
touchdown toss
to get the Pilots
within 12-8 at
the 10:50 mark
of the second quarter.
However, the hosts an-
swered 43 seconds later
with a 5-yard plunge by Showal-
ter to make it 20-8 Raiders.
Bearcats stay unbeaten, squeeze past Grove
BY CHARLIE WARNIMONT
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbullein.com
SPENCERVILLE Spencerville
scored a pair of third quarter touchdowns as
the Bearcats rallied for a 35-32 Northwest
Conference win over Columbus Grove Fri-
day night.
The Bulldogs had a 20-14 halftime lead,
but saw the Bearcats score twice on long
runs to take the lead in the third
quarter.
Trevor McMichael tied the
game with 3:31 left in the third
quarter with a 31-yard scoring
run. The extra point was blocked,
leaving the score tied at 20-20.
With 23 seconds left in the quar-
ter, the Bearcats took the lead on
a Zach Goecke 44-yard run. Ma-
son Nourse hit McMichael with a
2-point conversion pass giving the
Bearcats a 28-20 lead going to the
fourth quarter.
Columbus Grove answered
back as Joey Warnecke scored on
a 4-yard run making it 28-26 as the
2-point pass failed. Spencerville
maintained the 2-point lead until
there was 1:39 left when Andrew Emery
scored on a 13 yard run. With the extra point
it was 35-26. The Bulldogs scored with 54
seconds left as Warnecke bulled over from
three yards out. The two-point pass failed
for the nal score of 35-32.
Columbus Grove took the lead with
7:46 left in the rst quarter as David Bog-
art caught a 22-yard scoring pass from Reid
Stechschulte. Spencerville tied the game on
a 34-yard scoring pass from Nourse to Mc-
Michael with 34 seconds left in the opening
quarter.
Warnecke scored twice in the second
quarter on runs of two and one yard
in the second quarter and Goecke
caught a 25-yard scoring pass from
Nourse for the halftime score.
Goecke carried the ball 19
times for 133 yard and McMichael
13 times for 83 yards. Nourse was
4-of-7 passing for the Bearcats (5-
0) for 96 yards and two scores.Mc-
Michael, Damien Corso, Calvin
Wilson and Goecke all caught a
pass for the Bearcats.
Stechschulte was 5-of-13 passing
for the Bulldogs (2-1, 3-2) for 144
yards and a score. Warnecke car-
ried the ball 22 times for 191 yards
and four touchdowns, while Bogart

We were ALL mediocre last week.
Erin Cox, our blossoming prognosticator, was the best at 7-5 (4-2/3-3) to move to 22-14 (11-7/11-7).
I and Guest Picker Larry Heiing were 6-6 (3-3 college, 3-3 pros) I am now 22-14 (8-10/14-4) and the GP combination
personality is now 19-16 (9-8/10-8).
Larry remains as the GP.
COLLEGE: Cincinnati at Ohio State (I know who Erin will pick !); Tennessee at Georgia; Colorado at California; Akron at
Pittsburgh; Stanford at Washington; Vanderbilt at Kentucky (Ditto!).
NFL: Green Bay at Chicago; Carolina at Baltimore; Philadelphia at San Francisco; Detroit at New York Jets; Bufalo at Houston;
New England at Kansas City (Monday).
Pigskin Picks
JIM METCALFE
COLLEGE
OHIO STATE:
Buckeyes have
had a week to
really fgure out
where they are
going. My guess:
lots of Ezekiel
Elliott, Curtis
Samuel and
Dontre Wilson
behind an OL
that needs to
step up.
G E O R G I A :
Tennessee is rebuilding but in a
tough conference. The Dawgs are still
smarting from loss to South Carolina
and will take it out on the Vols.
CALIFORNIA: Long trek for Bufaloes
against a rebuilding Golden Bears. A
losing trek in the end.
PITTSBURGH: Panthers should be
smarting from home loss to Iowa last
week. Akron is not Iowa.
STANFORD: Seattle is a tough place to
play for anyone. If anyone can handle
it, its workmanlike Cardinal.
KENTUCKY: Former Vandy coach James
Franklin is now at Penn State. Theyve
been playing like it.
PROS
CHICAGO: The most hated archrivals in
NFL. Da Bears are just more balanced at
this time.
BALTIMORE: Panthers were awful at
home last week and Cam is still banged
up. Ravens have endured a lot and
should be ahead by the fnal buzzer.
SAN FRANCISCO: 49ers should feature
lots of Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde
against an Eagles team that lives on
the edge. Now they just need to fnish
a game.
DETROIT: Detroit is not as good on
ofense as everyone thinks. Their
defense is coming of age.
HOUSTON: Bills will be on the road
the frst time. Texans will make things
tough on them.
NEW ENGLAND: Patriots are being
peppered with doubts about Brady
and the
ofense. Think
he wont
respond?
ERIN COX
COLLEGE
CI NCI NNATI :
OSLose is
going to do
what it does
best and lose
to a team that
can actually
play.
GEORGIA: Kentucky fans dont pick
Tennessee.
CALIFORNIA: Their loss was by less than
Colorados losses.
PITTSBURGH: Pitt has had some big
wins this season and the Zips just wont
be able to match.
STANFORD: Washington is impressive
at 4-0 but the Stanford defense is even
more impressive.
KENTUCKY: Its a Big Blue Nation, yall!
NFL
GREEN BAY: I guess I liked the color
green better today.
BALTIMORE: Carolina has some players
injured that will make a diference.
PHILADELPHIA: They keep coming
back for the win; theyll do it again or
maybe just win from the beginning.
DETROIT: The Jets let me down last
week, not making that mistake again.
BUFFALO: Bufalo lost to San Diego
while Houston lost to the Giants last
week. I think Bufalo has more of a
reason for the loss.
KANSAS CITY: Master Belicheat and his
main minion Brady lose them all in my
book.
LARRY HEIING
COLLEGE
OHIO STATE: Cincinnati will come out
inspired to play for the memory of
redshirt freshman Chamoda Kennedy-
Palmore who was killed in a motorcycle
crash. But the Buckeyes will take over
and have another intrastate beat down
on their college neighbors.
GEORGIA: The Orange of Tennessee
havent had a good program in years.
Georgia simply
has too much
talent and win
big.
CALI FORNI A:
The Cal
secondary is
banged up
and will have
a tough time
stopping the
Bufaloes fast-
paced ofense.
Cal will win in
the end.
PITT: The Zips are a 20-point underdog
because their running game is dreadful.
Good enough me me-Pitt wins.
STANFORD: Stanford gave USC
everything it had and from what I saw-
its enough to beat Washington.
VANDY: The Bluegrass State is for
basketball-never much of a threat on
the football feld. Vandy will roll.
PRO
CHICAGO: Aaron Rogers has been
telling everybody to relax about the
Packers ofensive struggles this season.
Jay Cutler and Da Bears will fnally
outshine their Northern neighbors.
BALTIMORE: The Ravens seem to have
put the whole Ray Rice distraction
behind them winning the last 2 games.
The streak continues-Baltimore wins.
PHILLY: Coach Kelly has his Eagles
ofense fying high this year.
Meanwhile, the 49ers have had some
struggles. The Eagles soar.
DETROIT: The Lions seem to struggle
on the road but the Jets always seem
to fnd a diferent way to lose. Detroit
roars in this one.
HOUSTON: The Texans have jumped
out to a 3-1 record but the Bills have
been equally impressive with some
big wins. Going to go with home feld
advantage on this one-Houston wins.
KC: The big stage of Monday Night
Football is where Bill and Brady shine
the brightest but their star has lost
some of its luster this year. KC fans will
be rockin on national TV and cheer the
Chiefs to victory.
Tuberville puts 2-0 mark
on line against Meyer
BY RUSTY MILLER
AP Sports Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Only one
coach who has gone up at least twice against
Urban Meyer in his 13 years as a head coach
has a perfect record against him.
That bit of trivia looms large since
Tommy Tuberville, who was at Auburn
when he shocked superior Meyer-led
Florida teams in both 2006 and 2007, will
be in charge of Cincinnati (2-0) on Satur-
day night when it plays against Meyer and
No. 22 Ohio State.
The only other coach other than Tuber-
villes 2-0 mark with a winning record against
Meyer is Nick Saban (2-1).
Meyer didnt just gloss over Tubervilles up-
per hand, either.
Hes got a reputation. Hes a ne football
coach and a friend, Meyer said. We went
back and weve done our due diligence (on his
teams). Whether it be a pooch kick or (what-
ever). So were doing our homework.
Here are some key factors in whether Tu-
berville adds to his dominance:
HES A GUNNER: UCs Gunner Kiel has
lived up to his devil-may-care name by com-
pleting 50 of 76 passes for 689 yards and 10
TDs in his rst two games as a collegiate QB.
Still, the nephew of former Notre Dame sig-
nal caller Blair Kiel has never faced anything
like a roaring, partisan crowd of 105,000.
Hopefully he doesnt recognize how many
people are there, Tuberville said.
Ohio State (2-1), which had gaping pass-
defense problems a year ago, is hoping to be
in Kiels face.
Hes pretty calm back there, so we have to
bring a lot of chaos, safety Vonn Bell said.
We have to get him mixed up in the head.
ON THE OTHER SIDE: No one knows
what precisely to make of Ohio States attack.
It was just OK in the opening-game win against
Navy, looked lost in the defeat to Virginia Tech
and scored at will against hapless Kent State.
J.T. Barrett, the freshman who took over
when Braxton Miller was lost for the season
after shoulder surgery, will face a huge chal-
lenge.
That rst loss, it was a lesson we took
and we learned from, WR Michael Thomas
said. Now every game we have something
to prove just because of that.
UC has been leaky on defense, too, giving
up 464 yards and 28 points a game.
Everything is xable, said DE Silverberry
Mouhon. Were going to go out there and get
all the little nicks and nacks out (before we) go
to Ohio State.
FAMILY TIES: Meyer and his wife Shel-
ley are Cincinnati grads, as were his father and
grandfather. Meyers sisters GiGi and Erika
are also UC grads; GiGi is vice provost for un-
dergraduate affairs there and Erika once upon
a time was the homecoming queen.
(I have a) very strong emotional attach-
ment to Cincinnati, said Meyer, who is 1-0
against his alma mater, leading Florida to a
50-24 win over the Bearcats in the 2010 Sugar
Bowl.
Both teams also have lots of assistant
coaches and players with close connections to
the other side.
CENTER OF (THE STATE) ATTEN-
TION: While the Buckeyes bask in the nation-
al limelight, UC is largely ignored. Ohio State,
despite a loss, is ranked. The Bearcats are un-
beaten and still mustered 185 fewer points in
the latest Associated Press poll.

PANTHERS
(From page A11)
Following another Showalter touchdown run
of two yards, the Pilots tried again to make
things interesting. Dales found Jake Lamb for
a 61-yard scoring strike to get the Pilots within
26-16 as Ayersville looked to turn the momen-
tum heading into halftime.
However, one play and ten seconds later
Showalter hooked up with Jake Dingus on a
65-yard touchdown pass to set the score at 32-
16 at the intermission.
We were able to answer every time they
made a run, noted Speller. I think the one
right there before halftime was crucial because
they had the momentum and they were going
to get the ball back at the start of the second
half. Our guys never panicked and just be-
lieved they were going to score.
Wayne Trace then put the game away in the
third quarter.
Showalter found David Sinn for a 48-yard
scoring strike to make it 39-16 at the 3:08
mark of the third quarter. The Raiders pushed
the margin to 45-16 when Showalter and Sinn
connected again, this time on a 78-yard pass.
Our offense really was clicking on all cyl-
inders tonight, commented the Raider mentor.
Defensively, we said coming in we were go-
ing to force them to pass the ball, and I thought
we did a good job of controlling their running
game.
The Pilots, who fall to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in
the conference, were held to 71 yards rushing
on the night, including a negative two yards in
the rst quarter. Ayersville nished with 298
yards of total offense overall.
Showalter posted 170 rushing yards on 20
carries for Wayne Trace. Through the air, the
senior was 15 of 32 for 432 yards. David Sinn
topped the Raider receivers with eight recep-
tions for 231 yards.
Wayne Trace returns to Green Meadows
Conference action on Friday as the Raiders
visit Holgate, a 32-30 winner over Antwerp on
Friday. The Tigers are now 3-2 overall and 1-1
in the league.
RAIDERS
(From page A10)
The teams traded touchdowns again later in
the game. Crestview with a touchdown from se-
nior Jake Lippi and Allen East with a 54-yard run.
The Knights got a Tatum PAT after their
touchdown, at the 7:17 mark of the fourth, but
Allen East tacked on a 2-point-conversion-
pass from Stippich to freshman Lucas Free-
man to take a 36-29 lead. Crestview then put
together its nal drive.
The Knights took the ball with 4:18 to play
on the clock and drove 80 yards in 10 plays.
Zaleski eventually brought the Knights with-
in one with a 2-yard touchdown run before a
gutsy call by the Knights to go for two for a
chance to win the game.
After a timeout, the Knights lined up for the
conversion attempt with 30.8 seconds to play.
It wasnt really an easy call because we
have a lot of condence in our kicker. Tatum
has done a great job for us all season, ex-
plained Owens.
In the end it came down to the offensive
momentum the Knights had built up.
What it came down to for me, I think, is
that we were able, on that nal drive, to mix in
three or four or ve different plays. We were
having success with all of them.
I felt like in a situation where we needed
three yards, we could get the ball in a play-
makers hands and let him make a play.
Thats exactly what the Knights did with
their senior signal-caller and it paid off. Za-
leski dove to break the plain, give the lead and
eventually the win to the Knights.
The 37-36 win keeps the Knights shot at a
perfect season alive, they move to 5-0 on the
season and 2-0 in conference play.
KNIGHTS
(From page A10)
The St. Johns offense went right back to
work after the Cardinal touchdown, driving
down the eld on runs by Martz and Austin
Heiing to the Cardinals eight yard line. Mar-
tzs pass to the end zone was picked-off by
New Bremans Ben Schwieterman as the Jays
were denied for the rst time of the half.
The Cardinals took over with only 47 sec-
onds left in the half and did manage to drive
downeld before Wes Buettner nabbed a Nay-
lor pass to end the half.
The St. Johns offense was forced to set up for a
punt for the rst time after the break, but a fake punt
that went to Hays was good for a 53 yard pickup at
the four yard line. Hays took it in on the next play
and Pohlmans extra point gave the Jays a comfort-
able lead 35-7 with 9:02 left in the third.
The Blue Jays managed to score their -
nal touchdown on the next series as Martz
dropped back to pass on his own 32 yard line.
The offensive line gave him all kinds of time
to search for an open receiver. Finally, he de-
cided to run instead and his scramble found
him in the end zone for the score.
New Breman was giving up 400 yards per
game coming into the contest and the Jays
topped that with 426 yard total offense. Martz
lead St. Johns with 208 yard rushing on 16
carries and passed for 93 yards. Evan Hays
rushed for 66 yards on only three carries. Zach
Fischer had two catches for 38 yards and Rein-
del hauled in a pair for 31 yards.
The next game for St.Johns (3-2, 1-2
M.A.C) will be homecoming against Minster.
Next Breman (0-5) will take on Fort Recovery.
JAYS
(From page A10)
LCC tied it with a 4-play,
60-yarder. At the Delphos 45,
OConnor threw down the right
sideline to Tainger, who beat the
last defender to the ball. Tainger
tied it at 20 with 3:18 left in the
half.
It was the rst play of the next
series that saw Stockwell injured
on an incomplete pass.
We had to overcome some
adversity today but injuries are
part of football, Jefferson coach
Chris Sommers said. Kurt came
in under tough circumstances
and Dalton (Hicks) played more
both ways in the backeld. We
still moved the ball on them of-
fensively. We just gave up too
many big plays to an explosive of-
fense. My kids battled to the very
end even with the adversity. I am
very proud of them.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 27, 2014
Resolve to take things as
they come. To get a clear
view of each situation as it
unfolds, you must realize that
you cant control everything.
Dont let turmoil fuster you.
A spectacular year lies ahead
if you are accepting and
innovative in the way you
handle everything you face.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Love is in the stars. An
interesting partnership lies
ahead. Unforeseen changes to
your agenda will turn out better
than you think. Dont be afraid
to make the frst move.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Dont be coerced into
doing something that will
tarnish your reputation. Stick
to high standards in order to
stay on the right path. You will
be judged by the company you
keep, so tread carefully.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Dont be vocal or
critical regarding workplace
situations or peers. You will
leave a false impression, and
damaging information could
fnd its way back to your
employer.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- Do whatever is
necessary to lend support to
an ailing or elderly relative.
Whether it means driving
to appointments, grocery
shopping or household chores,
your assistance will be
appreciated and rewarded.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) -- Dont presume
that everyone is being honest
and up-front with you. You
will be upset if you discover
that someone is withholding
important information. Refrain
from making a commitment
that you wont want to honor.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Fun, amusement and
entertainment should be your
goals. New and old friends will
enjoy a pleasant diversion if
you initiate a day of recreation.
Lead and enjoy.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Make fnancial matters
a priority. Dont exceed
your budget by making an
unnecessary purchase. Interest
fees or penalties can change the
nature of a good deal.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- You will be restless and
looking for a change. Try a new
hobby or take a day trip to a
local attraction. A break from
your routine will be a breath of
fresh air.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Consider launching
a new project or making a
proposal that will enhance
your career. Networking with
industry insiders will provide
the information you need to get
ahead.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Express your feelings.
Rekindle the romance in a
relationship with an intimate
interlude away from the hustle
and bustle of everyday life. A
travel opportunity should not
be passed up.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Your input is vital if you
dont want to collapse under
the pressure of someone elses
demands. Be persistent, and
dont let anyone railroad you
into making a bad decision.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- You will be faced with
a fnancial or educational
problem. Gather all the
information you can before
you move forward. There is no
room for error.

PRACTICE DEMOCRACY.
READ YOUR LEGAL
NOTICES.
The reason publication of legal
notices is required in newspapers is
YOU, the citizen. In a democracy, the
government is required to inform you
of the public business, because you
and your neighbors are the basis of
government.
These notices provide essential
information about all local
government entities including
schools, cities, villages and
counties.
A democracy is a system of checks
and balances. Your right to be
informed is a check on government.
Public notices shed light on the
actions of all governmental bodies
but its up to you, the citizen,
to read them and obtain more
information on the actions that have
an impact on you.
THEYRE CRUCIAL TO
DEMOCRACY.

Dear Heloise: When my
mother died, I used her ad-
dress book to notify her
friends in other states. It
would have been helpful had
she noted next to the names if
they were high-school friends,
college friends or other
friends, because I didnt know
all the people. I have since
noted in my address book who
my friends are as a help for my
children. B.H. in Texas
MAKING PAINT
Dear Heloise: My small
children love to nger-paint,
but they go through a ton of it.
It can get expensive, constant-
ly buying more paint. Can I
make some at home? Pam
D. in Alabama
Yes, you can, and its
cheap, too! Plus, most likely
you have the items needed in
your house.
Here is a Heloise recipe
to make our nger paints at
home. You will need:
* 1 cup plain wheat our
* 1 1/2 cups cold water
* 4 cups of boiling water
* 1 tablespoon glycerin
* Food coloring or pow-
dered paint pigment
Mix our with cold water
to make a paste. Then mix the
4 cups of boiling water with
the paste and stir until it is
translucent. Stir in the glyc-
erin and set the mixture aside
until cooled. Divide the mix-
ture into different containers,
and add the powdered paint
pigment or food coloring to
make different colors. You
can make whatever colors you
want. Have fun painting!
Heloise
P.S.: Teach your children
how to use basic colors to
make another color. Such as:
yellow and red make orange,
or blue and red make purple,
one of my favorite colors!

READING AND WRIT-
ING
Dear Heloise: When my
daughter was learning to read
and write, I found some ways
to help her. Here are some
hints I used:
* Let them help write to-do
or grocery lists.
* Read road signs while in
the car.
* Label things to help them
recognize letters.

Dear Heloise: Regarding
the reader whose chair legs

OUT OF THE JAR
Dear Heloise: I use cream
that comes in a jar. To get the
cream out, I make a st and get
the cream on the back of my
ngers/knuckles. That way, I
still have both hands to close
the lid and put the jar away.
Then I can rub in the cream.

DEAR ABBY: My birth-
day is in 26 days and my dad
just told me he is not going
to get me a birthday present.
And I really want an iPod
Touch for school. Im in the
fth grade and everyone in my
class has an iPod Touch, iPad
or iPhone. Except me!
My mom said she would
get me a present, but it will
be something small. And un-
less I can keep my room clean,
I wont have a birthday! Im
turning double digits (10)!
Please help! DESPERATE
GIRL IN NORTH CARO-
LINA
DEAR DESPERATE: Ill
try, but it may not be the help
youre hoping for. Talk to your
parents and ask why they are
against you having an iPod
Touch. Not all kids your age
have parents who can afford
them, and that might be the
reason.
Show them you are mature
by keeping your room clean
and doing whatever other
chores are assigned to you.
If you get an allowance, start
saving up and ask them if they
would partner with you in
getting an iPod Touch in the
future, after you have saved
a certain amount. Its worth a
try, and it just might work.

DEAR ABBY: My 20-year-
old son is in recovery from
substance abuse. He has also
dealt with depression over the
years. He has informed his
therapist, his father and me
that his older sisters had sex
with him when he was a young
child. It was one of the expla-
nations he gave for his depres-
sion and substance abuse.
I have wanted to talk to
his counselor about the situa-
tion so that as a family we can
talk to his sisters. We could
perhaps nd out whether what
hes referring to is normal ex-
perimentation or something
more. We would also be able
to ask his sisters if they were
abused and acting out as a
result of it. It seems incred-
ible that as parents we were
oblivious because we thought
we were aware of and vigilant
about threats to our children.
Now our son does not want
to discuss this and refuses to
see his counselor. Were afraid
pushing him will trigger a re-
lapse on his part, but we are
also concerned about whether
there might be an issue with
his sisters that should be ad-
dressed. Should we tell him
were going to raise it with his
sisters? Or should we wait un-
til hes ready? WANTS TO
DO WHATS BEST
DEAR WANTS: This news
has to have been shocking to
you and your husband as par-
ents, but it isnt time yet for
a family discussion because
your son may be too fragile.
Also, I think professional eth-
ics prevent your sons therapist
from discussing this with you.
Issues like this can be compli-
cated, and the facts may never
be known.
What is most important
now is for you to show your
son that you love him and care
about his emotional health,
and while you respect his pri-
vacy, it is vital that he help
himself move forward. The
past cannot be changed, but it
is important for his future that
he nd a professional with
whom he CAN talk, if the
therapist he has been seeing
isnt helping him. Table any
family discussion about this
until your son is stronger.

Honey Stolen
Honey thieves are again at
work in this vicinity. Colonies
of bees belonging to Fred Le-
ininger & Son were disturbed
within the past few days and
were robbed of honey.
A winter case contain-
ing four colonies of bees was
overturned and honey was
taken from the hives. These
colonies were located on the
Cletus Foust farm, six miles
east of Spencerville.
The greatest loss in these
cases is not in the theft of the
honey, but the destruction of
the colonies.
The owners and the Tri-
County Beekeepers Associa-
tion are offering reward of $50
each, a total of $100 for the
apprehension of the thieves.

CINCINNATI (AP)
U.S. Coast Guard and state in-
vestigative teams were work-
ing Friday at the Ohio River
area where two off-duty FBI
employees were killed in a
collision between a barge and
a small pleasure boat, trying
to piece together how the ac-
cident occurred.
The two mens boat hit a
600-foot barge late Thursday
in the river between Cincin-
nati and Newport, Kentucky.
The two were found dead on
the boat when re crews ar-
rived, authorities said.
It is with great sadness
that we advise that two FBI
employees were involved in a
tragic accident late last night,
the FBI said in a statement
Friday.
FBI spokesman Todd Lind-
gren said they were Cincin-
nati division employees but
not special agents. They were
identied as John Stack II, 29,
and Bruce Eastlick, 28. No
other information about them
was released immediately.
Authorities said the barge
was heading upriver, toward
West Virginia.
The boat was heading to-
ward the barge, said Hank
Patton, director of law en-
forcement for the Kentucky
Department of Fish and Wild-
life Resources. Then it made a
90-degree turn in front of the
barge.
Patton said navigation
lights were working on both
vessels.
The rst calls on the col-
lision were made just before
11 p.m. Thursday, authorities
said. Local re departments
from both sides of the river re-
sponded initially.
Among possible factors un-
der investigation by the Coast
Guard and the Kentucky De-
partment of Fish and Wild-
life Resources were whether
speed or alcohol was involved.
The Coast Guard will con-
duct a thorough investigation,
Capt. Richard Timme, Coast
Guard commander for Ohio
Valley, said in a statement.
Chief Warrant Ofcer Jon-
athan Roy said he couldnt es-
timate a timetable for the com-
pletion of the investigation.
Cincinnati District Fire
Chief Lou Arnold told The
Cincinnati Enquirer that the
barge captain was at the wheel
and saw the collision.
He was looking right out
the front watching what was
going on. It was a big barge,
Arnold said. The (pleasure
boat) just crossed right in front
of them and slammed into the
barge. We can only assume
they didnt see it.
Kenneth Kidwell said he
was near the accident scene
Thursday night.
It was very loud ... very
loud, Kidwell told WCPO-
TV. Metal on metal.
Emergency crews searched
the river through the night to
make sure there was no one
who had been thrown over-
board.
