October is breast
cancer awareness
Month

Invasive breast cancers strike 1 in 8 women younger than 45

by StePHaNIe GrOVeS
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
In 2014, The American Cancer
Society (ACS) estimates 232,670
new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women,
62,570 new cases of carcinoma in
situ (CIS) will be diagnosed, and
nearly 40,000 women will die from
the disease.
ACS statistics indicate one out
of eight invasive breast cancers are
found in women younger than 45
and close to two of three are found
in women age 55 or older.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM)
and a time to raise awareness about

breast cancer, encourage women to

attend breast screenings and raise
funds for supporting charities and
organizations.
St. Ritas Womens Wellness
Center Director Mary Kay Verhoff
said the number one risk factor for
developing breast cancer is being
a woman and the risk increases as
people age.
At age 40, the chance of getting
breast cancer is one in 67, at age 50,
its one in 39, at age 60, one in 29
and at age 85, one in eight, Verhoff
said. One percent of all breast cancers occur with men. We have diagnosed one or two men per year.
She said people with a family history are at a higher risk and
all women need to be diligent with

monthly self-screenings, yearly

clinical breast exams and mammograms.
At the Womens Wellness Center,
automatically calculated risk analysis is run on each patient.
Three out of four women diagnosed with breast cancer have no
family history of the disease, Verhoff stated. If a patients analysis
shows they have a greater than 20
percent chance of being diagnosed
within their lifetime, we encourage
them to have a breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
ACS reports hereditary breast
cancer accounts for 5-10 percent of
breast cancer cases and results directly from gene defects (called mutations) in the BRCA1 and BRCA2

genes inherited from a parent. In

normal cells, these genes help prevent cancer by making proteins that
keep the cells from growing abnormally.
Families with BRCA1 mutations
have a lifetime risk of breast cancer
as high as 80 percent and on average, the risk falls in the range of 5565 percent. For BRCA2 mutations,
the risk is close to 45 percent.
Nicole Nelson, Chief Radiologist at St. Ritas Medical Center,
said there are many genes associated with cancer in both women and
men. After patients are screened
through a series of questions to see
if they are high risk or not, they are
offered more information on additional screenings breast MRIs

and DNA testing.

The majority of the patients that
are diagnosed with breast cancer do
not have the BRA1 or BRA2 genes
or any family history of breast cancer, Nelson said. Cancer caught at
stage 0 or stage 1 have a cure rate of
95 percent.
Nelson explained that ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the earliest
stage of breast cancer, is found in
the first lining of duct cells of the
breast and can only be seen under a
microscope.
We used to only find masses and
now, we can do biopsies of calcifications, she said. Screening mammograms detect suspicious cells that
are associated with DCIS.

Survivor Moorman says I was

really lucky
by StePHaNIe GrOVeS
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Alison Moorman typically
has a mammogram every 12 months and this
year, she waited a little longer before getting
the procedure done, which may have been a
twist of fate, so to speak. If she would have
had the procedure done earlier, the lumps
may have not been detected.
It was May 2, three days after I had the
mammogram when I was notified I had to
go back for a repeat mammogram and ultrasound, she recounted. They found two
masses, one in each breast.
After a biopsy, Moorman, Doctor Darlene
Weyer, and the pathologist who studied the biopsies, had a virtual consultation where they all
discussed the report and explored the options.
The mass in the right breast was not
cancerous, she said. The mass in the left
breast had a blood supply to it and it was diagnosed as Stage 0-1 ductal carcinoma in situ
(DCIS).
Moorman said the situation was very surreal.
You think it wont happen to you, she
said. I didnt realize the importance of having a mammogram.
She had three or four appointments a week
to see a surgeon, oncologist, and radiation oncologist. Normally, she could remember appointments without any problems, but at that
point, she had to use a notebook to keep track
of her schedule.
Throughout the process, a Patient Navigator guided her through her treatment, answered questions and, in general, made sure
Moorman felt comfortable with her care.

She had an MRI and her doctors wanted

to schedule surgery within 30 days, which
would have been the end of May. She and her
husband, Jeff, had a vacation planned and
after returning home, she had the outpatient
surgery performed.
I didnt want my family to worry about
something they had no control over and I held
off telling anyone until a few days before the
surgery, she said.
She opted for a lumpectomy an outpatient procedure that was easier than she expected where the surgeon removed both
lumps and three lymph nodes from under her
left armpit.

major changes.
Currently, all EMS runs
to the northern part of Mercer County, from 6 a.m.-6
p.m. Monday through Friday,
are being covered by squads
from the Celina Fire Department. All hours of volunteers

Commissioners welcome new

clerk, bid farewell to Clouse
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
VAN WERT - During his 36-year
tenure as their clerk, Larry Clouse has
worked for 14 different Van Wert County
commissioners and entered hundreds of
thousands of their resolutions into the
county record.
Clouse spent a total of 41 years in
Van Wert County serviceincluding his
entry-level job as Clerk for the County
Engineer.
It will be tough to fill his shoesthe
span of experience, alone, is almost im-

Shy about asking, Whats the etiquette for

supporting my loved one, friend or colleague
in their battle against cancer? Many people
simply avoid the question altogether and offer nothing.
Its okay to wonder, and its okay to ask.
Be direct! says Jane Schwartzberg, who has
been battling stage 4 metastatic cancer for
several years. Shes the co-author with Marcy Tolkoff Levy of Naked Jane Bares All,
www.nakedjanebaresall.com, which shares
her story with candor and humor.
Jane was a 31-year-old newlywed when
she was first diagnosed with breast cancer.
She underwent treatment and eventually was
declared cancer free. She moved on with her
life, giving birth to two children and launching a technology company. Then, when she
was 42, the cancer returned. Shes now 45.
Im a fighter, and the support Ive received from my family and friends has given me an immeasurable amount of strength,
without which I dont know what I would do,
Schwartzberg says.
What are some suggestions for providing

possible to match, said Commissioner

Stan Owens. Larry combines knowhow, a great work ethic, and a genuine
affection for Van Wert County and its
residents. He is an ideal public servant.
Clouses successor, Ryanne Bollenbacher, brings similar strengths to the position, Owens added. She is approachable,
intelligent and extremely energetic. We
were fortunate to find someone with county experience able to jump right in and take
on a formidable transition with the same
positive attitude and strength of character.
Bollenbacher, a Lincolnview gradu-

ate, holds a BA in Business Management

from the University of Findlay. She and
her husband, Steve, live in Ridge Township, and their two children attend Lincolnview. She has worked for the Van
Wert County Department of Jobs and
Family Services as well as Family and
Children First, the Community Action
Commission, and most recently, for
County Recorder Kim Hughes.
Clouses last day is Tuesday. A reception in his honor will be held at the Van
Wert County Commissioners Conference Room from noon-2 p.m. that day.

How to support a loved one whos fighting cancer

BY JANE SCWARTZBERG

support? She offers these:

Do it without any expectations or requirements for a response. Im often asked, What
can I do to help? she says. What Ive suggested: Be in my life at my pace, let me take
the lead; make your presence, availability and
support known, but do it without any expectations or requirements for a response.
Embrace their big dream, even if it
doesnt sound realistic. During a very low
point, Schwartzberg was asked by a friend:
If you could have anything, swinging for the
fences, what would help you get out of this
pit? Without skipping a beat, she answered, I
want to take [comedian] Larry David out to
lunch. As impossible as it seemed, her friend
encouraged her to write to the co-creator of
Seinfeld and he accepted.
As terrible as having terminal cancer is,
there is that undeniable quality of embracing
every moment, including asking your heroes
out to lunch, Schwartzberg says. Cancer
brings out the boldness in people, which may
entail a dream vacation to Hawaii. Dont be
afraid to embrace their wishes.

Dont hesitate to say,
You look beautiful, when
health has returned. After
her chemotherapy treatments ended, Jane slowly
started looking like her old
self healthy Jane, not cancer Jane. Part of reengaging
with life is caring about the
superficial things, at least to
some extent. On the unforgettable day she met Larry
David, the matre d had beforehand told her that she
looked beautiful, to which
Jane responded, You have
no idea how much I appreciate that.
Dont sugarcoat it. If
you want to really infuriate
me, youll tell me that this
whole mess is beshert, Yiddish for meant to be that
its all part of a plan from
a higher power, she says.
Maybe terminal cancer is
part of some crazy plan, but I
promise you that these are the
last things I want to hear from
anyone.
Dont sugarcoat or try to
put a positive spin on whats
going on in fact, its more
of a comfort to Jane when
others acknowledge that her
situation stinks and that she is
looking at a life thats far different from, and likely to be
shorter than, anything shed
imagined.

Living today, planning for tomorrow Ohios Advance Directives Week

By JessicA Petersen
Media and Public Relations
Coordinator, Lifeline of Ohio
Have you thought about organ donation?
If not, youre one of the 40 percent of individuals
in Allen County who have the opportunity to say yes
and become a hero.
Oct. 12-18 marks Ohios Advance Directives
Week a week meant to inspire, educate and empower patients to express their wishes regarding
health care.
Advance Directives are documents to direct
care when a medical condition prevents an indi-

vidual from communicating their own wishes. In

the state of Ohio, do not resuscitate orders, living
wills, powers of attorney and organ donation intentions are all advance directives. By educating
yourself and telling your family your decision,
your wishes are sure to be carried out at the time
of your death.
All Ohioans are encouraged to take the time this
month to consider how they want their medical care
directed in the event of a tragedy. We hope that you
will consider registering to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. One person has the power to save eight
lives and heal more than 50.
It is our hope that Advance Directives Week
will prompt the community to have thoughtful

Two banks in Coffeyville mean the end for the Daltons

BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
The Dalton family would be
considered part of one of the royal
families of pioneer outlaws with the
father, Lewis Dalton, married to the
aunt of Cole and Jim Younger, the
founders of the Younger Gang and
frequent riders with Jesse and Frank
James.
But their story was not always that
way. The oldest son, Frank, had been
a deputy marshal and rode herd over
his younger brothers to keep them in
line. However, after he was killed in
a shootout with a man he had been
tracking for horse thieving, the rest
of the Dalton boys quickly fell down
on the wrong side of the law.
The other three brothers, Bob,
Emmet and Gratton, joined the marshal service to carry on their brothers wishes but within a year Bob
killed a man in a gunfight and then
tried to claim the shooting was in the
line of duty. He was later caught selling liquor to Native Americans on
reservations and jumped bail rather
than stand trial. Gratton was accused
of being a horse thief and he also fled
rather than face the judge. The next
time the boys were seen in public,
they had formed their outlaw band.
Their lives of robbing banks and
trains began in February of 1861
in California. In the next eighteen
months they held up four trains in Indian Territory as well as stole horses.
They were working their way east as
they robbed, moving back to where
they had been raised.
They

down as one of the most prolific

group of train robbers in history but
Bob Dalton had an enormous ego
and he claimed he could beat anything that Jesse James ever did. In
his mind that meant robbing two
banks on the same day in broad
daylight.
The gang rode into Coffeyville,
Kansas, on October 5, 1892, wearing fake beards because the Daltons
had spent a large portion of their
childhood in the town. Despite the
disguises, the men were recognized
immediately and the townspeople
began to gather with weapons.
When the gang left the two banks,
the marshal and others opened fire.
The marshal was killed in the first
return volley but so was Bob Dalton,
his dream of besting Jesse James
bleeding out into the street. Three
other members also died but Emmet received 23 gunshot wounds
and lived to serve 14 years in prison.
After his release he moved to California and became a real estate agent
and actor.
Here now is a reprint of the October 13, 1892, Van Wert Republican
article detailing the end of the Dalton Gang in Kansas a week earlier.

Wiped Off The Earth

The Notorious Dalton Gang Exterminated
The Dalton gang has been exterminated, wiped off the face of
the earth. Caught like rats in a trap,
they were shot down, but not until
four citizens of Coffeyville, Kansas
yielded up their lives in the work of
extermination.
Six of the gang rode into the
town Wednesday morning and
robbed the two banks. Their raid ha
become known to the officers of the
law, and when the bandits attempted to escape they were attacked by
the Marshals posse. In the battle
which ensued, four of the desperadoes were killed outright, and one
was so badly wounded that he has
since died. The other escaped, but
he is being hotly pursued.
Of the attacking party four were
killed, one was fatally and two seriously wounded. The dead are:
Bob Dalton, desperado, shot
through the head.
Grant Dalton, desperado, shot
through the heart.
Emmet Dalton, desperado, shot
through the left side.
Joseph Evans, desperado, shot
through the head.
John Moore, alias Texas Jack,
desperado shot through the head.
T.C. Connelly, City Marshal,
shot through the body.
L.M.Baldwin, bank clerk, shot
through the head.

G.W. Cubine, merchant, shot

through the head.
C.J. Brown, shoemaker, shot
through the body.
T.A. Reynolds of the attacking party has a wound in the right
breast, but it is not considered necessarily dangerous.
Lais Deiz, another of the attacking party, was shot in the right side.
His wound is a serious one but is
not fatal.
It was 9 oclock when the gang
rode into town, in two squads of
three each, passing through unfrequented streets and deserted alleys
to the alley in the rear of the First
National Bank. They quickly tied
their horses, and without losing a
moments time proceeded to the attack upon the bank.
Robert Dalton, the notorious
leader of the gang, and Emmet, his
brother, went to the First National
Bank, the other four under the
leadership of Texas Jack, or John
Moore, going to the private bank of
C.M. Congdon and Co.
In the meantime the alarm had
already been given. The Dalton
Boys were born and bred in the
vicinity, and were will known to
nearly man, woman and child. Almost before the bandits had entered
the bank, Marshal Connelly was
collecting a posse. He ran first to

the livery stable of Jim Spears, a

dead shot with a Winchester and
a valuable man in any fight. Then
he summoned George Cubine, a
merchant; Charles Brown, a shoemaker; John Cox, express agent,
and other citizens who could be
conveniently reached, stationing
them about the square, which both
of the banks faced.
While the marshal was collecting his forces the bandits, all
ignorant of the trap that was being laid for them, were proceeding deliberately with their work of
robbing banks. Texas Jacks band
had entered Congdons bank, and
with their Winchesters leveled at
Cashier Ball and Teller Carpenter
had ordered them to throw up their
hands. Then Texas Jack searched
them for weapons while the other
three desperadoes kept them covered with their rifles. Finding them
to be unarmed, Cashier Ball was
ordered to open up the safe. The
cashier explained that the safes
door was controlled by a time lock
and that it could not by any means
short of dynamite be opened before
its time was up, which would be 10
oclock, or in about twenty minutes.
Well wait, said the leader, and he
sat down at the cashiers desk.

This week in 1939, Germany Chancellor Adolph Hitler was expected to deliver a take-it-or-leave-it peace plan in
the next few days. Officials believed the
bid would not include any return of land
grabbed by the German armed forces in
the recent months, which British officials
would be unacceptable and a non-starter
for peace negotiations. With that in mind,
British and French officials expected
bombing runs to begin on their countries
as soon as Hitler received their negative
responses.

Stepping Beyond Pink

It is October and everywhere you turn, the color pink is popping up.
NFL teams, television shows, newspapers, office workers it seems everyone is wearing some shade of pink.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and
everyone from sports teams to employers to regular people on
the street are using the color to bring awareness to the public of
the devastation the disease can inflict.
NBCAM has been around for more than 25 years and uses
the efforts from a number of national service organizations for
outreach. The list of contributors includes the American Cancer Society, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, National Medical Association and many others.
Over the past 20 years, the advancements in battling breast
cancer have been astounding. Back in the 1980s and 1990s,
chemotherapy and drugs were used to kill the cancer cells.
Unfortunately, in a salt-the-earth result, the treatments often
killed just as many healthy cells as they did cancerous masses
as doctors wanted to be sure they had eradicated all of the tumor.
Today, the treatments are much more focused, even to the
point of prevention. Genetic treatments now attempt to turn the
cancer cell back into a healthy, normal body. If that does not
work, treatments are available that only kill the cancer and not
the surrounding tissue.
Of course one of the key components in increasing the odds
of survival from the disease is an early diagnosis. In addition
to mammograms, MRIs are being used more and more often
to help find masses in early stages of development.
Women who come from high-risk families where cancer
has occurred now can begin battling the disease before it is
ever seen. Different types of hormonal therapies are being used
to lower womens estrogen levels. Oncologists have known for
years that high estrogen levels that are maintained for long
periods of time raises the statistical probability a woman will
develop cancer.
The effort to gain the attention over the decades has worked,
but we can not stop there. That seemed to be the point of Elaine
Schattner, a columnist at www.forbes.com, on Thursday. She
put out the message that by now, anyone paying some modicum
of attention is aware of breast cancer and its devastating effects. She goes on to say that wearing pink in October now has
become old and out-dated.
But dont think that Schattner is advocating a turn away
from breast cancer - not with more than 40,000 people in the
U.S. and more than 520,000 worldwide still dying from the disease every year - only a refocusing. She pointed out that even
in the U.S. the number of men and women living with unmet
needs from breast cancer is not tallied. Care and research into
new treatments always needs more funding. Information programs for patients and their families need more reach so they
help more people.
We believe that awareness will never be completely
achieved as long as one more woman goes in for an early detection test. However, we understand Schattners point: wearing a pink t-shirt is not enough anymore. As the 250-pound
middle linebacker makes a tackle this weekend while wearing a pink jersey, we urge the watcher to consider donating a
few dollars to the cancer organization of their choice. When a
pink-themed television commercial from a multi-billion dollar
conglomerate is shown on television, make a donation of time
or products to a facility that cares for cancer patients. When a
co-worker walks by wearing a pink t-shirt, find a few minutes
in our busy schedule to run errands for someone we know who
suffers from breast cancer.
It is time to step beyond the pink.

Atlanta, were here!

As you read this I am kneedeep in my first vacation in
three years.
My mother and I traveled to
Atlanta Wednesday to spend
some much-anticipated time
with my sister, her husband,
my nephew and great-nieces.
I will have met little Katie for
the first time, too. Shes 9! Bad
great-aunt!
This is also the first vacation Ive taken with my
mother since I entered adulthood. Is that weird? I have a
few friends who take a family
vacation every year. It sounds
like fun but it would take a
miracle to get us all on the
same page for that.
The worst part will be getting there. Im not very good at
waiting and that definitely includes airports. Im not a great
flyer, either. I hate take off, I
hate landing and every time

we hit a little air pocket Im

sure were going to die. Other
than that, it will be great.
I am super-excited about it
all! Ive never seen my sisters
house and its been decades
since Ive been to Atlanta. I
traveled with Jefferson Best
Damn Band in the Land
Marching Band in the early
80s for a Lions International
Convention and we marched
in the parade, were honored
with presenting the flags at
a special ceremony at the
Parthenon and visited Stone
Mountain, where I promptly did exactly the opposite
of what I was told, lost my
marching shoes and incurred
the wrath of my chaperoning
parents as we ran across a 12lane highway to replace my
shoes. What a fun trip!
I cant wait for the Briggs
women to be all together and

begin plotting to take over the

world! I get Australia because
koala bears and kangaroos are
high on my list of favorite animals.
I can already hear my
brother-in-law choking on the
estrogen. Hes a really good
sport, though, and Im sure we
will be treated to one of his
culinary masterpieces during
todays family dinner. I can
already taste the garlic bread
and antipasto. He really leans
toward Italian when hes in the
mood to cook it up big.
Im sure rousing games
of Spite and Malice will be
played as wine and other relaxing adult beverages are
consumed. I believe I will
make an exception on my usual abstinence from alcohol. I
dont think there can be too
much giggling and fun for us
this weekend.

Other

By Nancy

Items on the itinerary include a visit to the worlds

most inspiring aquarium,
the Georgia Aquarium. This
is the only thing on my mustdo list that piqued my hubbys
interest. Hes a huge shark fan
and my duties include taking
a video of the sharks for him
and Im sure a T-shirt will be
well-received.
Ringos birthday is coming up so Ill be looking for
something cute, soft, and
Ringo-sized. He will be a
very good boy for his dad,
Im sure.

Television revels society changing

I enjoy watching old television shows not reruns
of shows that were on in the
last couple of years but the
old shows from the 50s, 60s,
and 70s. I dont watch them
for hours and hours, but its
nice to get a glimpse back at
life when life was simpler;
not necessarily simpler for
me, but in general. I start to
remember what society used
to think was funny or acceptable. Old movies from the
black and white era work the
same way. Some things used
to be commonplace but today
are mostly unseen. Some are
objects that you dont see
like pay phones. But others
indicate completely different
attitudes that have changed for
the better or for the worse.
For instance, smoking. Of
course there are few to no
cigarette vending machine
sitting inside restaurants and
other shops the way they used
to populate businesses. And
dont dare light up and have

a smoke after you finish your

meal at the cafe. But remember, if you can, and if you cannot, watch the old television
shows and movies. Bars and
restaurants were smoky areas.
Eventually restaurant seating became a choice between
smoking and non-smoking,
and those who wanted a cigarette or could at least tolerate
the smoke got a table twice
as fast as those who couldnt
stand the smoky atmosphere.
I was always amused that
often the difference between
smoking and non-smoking
sections could be as indistinguishable as a six-foot wide
aisle between two tables or
a thin slab of wood paneling jammed between booths.
Today, cigarettes cannot be
lit up in a restaurant or even
most businesses. As for me, I
consider that a plus. However,
an evening of watching TV
Land or Antenna TV reminds
you that most early television
programs were sponsored by

A DHI Media publication

A public servant
A few questions on how
things are done at the county
level: What is the procedure
for annexation? How is a mutual agreement for ditch maintenance initiated? What steps
are necessary to discipline a
county employee? How are
construction projects advertised for bidding? How is government property sold or auctioned? What is the first step
of the tax abatement process?
In the Van Wert County
Commissioners Office, all
of these questions and several
others funnel into one ultimate question How do we
handle that, Larry?
Larry Clouse, the Commissioners clerk for the last thirty-five years, will put in his
last two days on Monday and
Tuesday next week. He has
forty-one years total in county
government, working also as a
clerk in the Engineers office.
For those of us who work
predominantly in the private
sector, hearing a government
employee refer to his or herself
as a public servant sometimes
has the same effect as fingernails meeting chalkboard. The
phrase implies that the person
would do the job without the
associated pay and benefits.
But anyone who has
worked with him over the
years would enthusiastically
apply the tag public servant
to Larry Clouse. He has, for
three-and-a-half decades, and
by all eyewitness accounts,
given bureaucracy a good
name. If federal and state
government employees would
conduct themselves as Clouse
has in his career, you might
find yourself happy to pay
your taxes.

Journalists Creed written in 1914

Citizen Wolfrum

When one possesses particular knowledge and is the

only one in government who
does, human nature tends to
make one arrogant. I wont go
into a string of adjectives to
describe Larry for those that
dont know him, but I will say
that anything that is the polar
opposite of arrogant would be
apt.
You might say, But Commissioner Wolfrum, you have
been Larrys boss the last year
and a half. Of course he would
seem accommodating to you.
Oh, dear reader, I was once
not a commissioner or even
anybody in particular.
About fifteen years ago, I
was a twenty-something that
thought it would be fun to
publish an independent newspaper. I called it The Whig
and put it out weekly and did
most of the writing under different pseudonyms. A certain
publisher got his start in the
paper business writing for
that weekly rag under his own
pseudonym, but I wont out
Kirk here.
At that time, the Commissioners office was dealing with moving the probate
court, waste water on Richey
Road, and a few other issues
that had me visiting their office regularly. I didnt know
Larry before that time.
But I remember being surprised when I learned where
he actually worked because he
had, in every one of my dealings with him, went so far out
of his way to supply me with
useful information for my stories even after I disagreed
with the Commissioners of
that time in a few of my articles and even though I had few

be involved in politics (which
may be how hes survived
about a dozen different groups

him it was ironic that this last
board turned out to be the best

Stan and I had to drag him in
to do the radio program that
will air Sunday morning on
WERT. He is the rare government employee that actually
cares more that government
functions correctly than who
is in charge or who takes credit for it.
And the last thing he wants
is any acknowledgment, so
were going to try to give him
some. If you worked with Larry or just knew him over the
last forty years, there will be
a reception at our office from
noon to two on Tuesday, October 7, his last day (and birthday).
You better stop and see him
then, because you may not be
able to find him again after
that. Hell be somewhere in
America or Canada probably,
but other than which direction
hes going to head initially,
I dont think theres a plan.
Isnt that what were all working for? To understate, Larry
Clouse has earned it.

Renewal plus
levy support
requested
To the editor,
The Mental Health Alcohol and Drug Addiction
Recovery Board of Putnam
County is requesting your
support for a renewal plus
levy for mental health, alcohol and drug addiction
services for Putnam County
residents.
In 1979, the residents of
our county had the foresight
to approve a 0.3-mill levy in
support of our locally driven
mental health board. It is
quite evident that this foresight has provided Putnam
County with a strong locally
driven behavioral health care
program. However, over the
past seven years the local
budget of mental health services has been impacted by
state and federal cuts of approximately $400,000.
For 35 years, this existing levy has been the nucleus
in providing and generating
match money for state and
federal grants and programs.
Bringing state and federal
money to Putnam County
has provided jobs for individuals in the health field
and most importantly behavioral health services for
those in need.
The renewal plus levy totaling 0.7 mill is essential for
Putnam County to maintain
its autonomy. A brochure
has been prepared to allow
voters to gain knowledge
about this very important
county issue and is available
throughout the county and
on our website (www.pathwaysputnam.org/ADAMHS/
home.html). Not only does
this levy provide counseling
services, but it is also important to the economy of our
county. The Mental Health
Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Board of Putnam County prides itself on
having the lowest tax rate in
northwest Ohio.

your support,

DAV Auxiliary membership is important

The Disabled American
Veterans Auxiliary (DAVA)
was founded in 1922 by women who saw a need for assistance to the families, widows
and orphans of disabled veterans, as well as the disabled
veterans themselves. Today, in
more than 2,000 units nationwide, the DAV Auxiliary continues, more dedicated than
ever before, to serve disabled
veterans, with particular emphasis on the families of those
veterans.
There are lots of reasons to
join the DAV Auxiliary: terrific volunteer programs, an
opportunity to serve disabled
veterans and their families directly, a chance to help others
in your community, and much,

much more. But the most important reason for joining the
DAV Auxiliary is quite simple. Theres a pressing need
to protect the benefits the disabled veteran in your life has
earned for the people you care
most about - your family.
Your membership strengthens the DAV Auxiliary in its
battle to defend your family
from the deterioration of the
benefits which help buy the
groceries and pay the rent or
mortgage. Just belonging to
the Auxiliary accomplishes
so much - long before you attend your first meeting. It also
helps protect families of other
disabled veterans, many of
whom are less fortunate than
yours.

Take a stand against those

who want to forget about what
war has done to the lives of
so many veterans, including
the veteran you love. Send
a strong and clear message
to all national leaders who
would ignore the sacrifices
that your loved one has made
for our country. Keep our nation mindful of the needs of
your family and the families
of other disabled veterans.
Thats why your membership
in the DAV is so important,
and thats why you should join
the DAV Auxiliary today.

Then youll hear about Adrian Peterson using tree branches as whips for his children.
Now most of us were good children and were
never whipped as kids, but we know there
was often lumber involved. On each schools
teaching staff, there was the designated paddle-swinger to handle the discipline problems.
And I remember hearing from kids at school of
how their father told them to go out and find a
tree branch to beat them for punishment. And
seeing scratches from a limb on someones leg
would not have sounded an alarm to report a
bad parent.
That situation has changed, too, maybe too
far. The need for a parent to discipline remains
consistent over the years, but some parents today dont bother, then let society deal with the

results of lazy parenting. But of course, discipline is not simply a code word for beating
a kid. Discipline is a matter of teaching. Its
parental guidance. Its at least an attempt to
get those screaming kids at the grocery store
to behave long before the public fits happen.
While there is outrage over some forms of
discipline, it seems there is not nearly enough
outrage over a lack of discipline. Maybe that
will be the reaction of television watchers in
2064 watching the old shows from the early
part of the 21st Century. Maybe by then the
idea of necessary discipline will be balanced
and not an overreaction that kids cant be told,
No. Or maybe well look back and shake our
heads the way I do now when I see Fred Flintstone puffing on a Camel or Ricky Ricardo
spanking his wife.

While researching the aquarium online, I found they have
a small population of sea otters my favorite mammal. The
Sea Otter Encounter Program intrigued me until I saw on a
video that you dont actually encounter them and oh, yeah,
the price. There is Plexiglas in between you and the cutest little
things on earth. Not close enough for me. If Im gonna have an
encounter, I want a hug and a snuggle! Im pretty sure sea otters cant rip your face off. Oh, well. Maybe next time. Ill let
you know if I went for the adventure or settled for a photo. Ive
found Ive become a settler too often so its looking good for a
little one-on-one with a sea otter!
The remainder of the five days will be filled with quality
family time, maybe a craft or two in my sisters renowned
craft room and whatever else we can come up.
The best part is we will be together.

Surge of hiring cuts US jobless rate

By CHRISTOPHER S.
RUGABER
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP)
A surge in hiring last month
helped drive the nations unemployment rate down to a
six-year low of 5.9 percent
within striking distance of
what economists consider a
healthy level.
The encouraging numbers
contained in the last government report on unemployment
before the midterm elections
pushed the Dow Jones average up 209 points to 17,010 and
could give an important boost
at the polls to Democrats and to
incumbents in general.
U.S. employers added a
robust 248,000 jobs in September and generated 69,000
more jobs in July and August
than previously reported, the
government said Friday. That
helped bring unemployment
down from 6.1 percent in August.
The jobless rate now stands
at the lowest level since July
2008, in the middle of the

Great Recession, and is getting

close to the roughly 5.5 percent
that the Federal Reserve considers consistent with a healthy
economy.
In a speech in Princeton, Indiana, President Barack Obama
exulted over the numbers, noting that businesses have added
jobs for 55 months in a row, the
longest such stretch on record.
He credited the drive and
determination of the American
people, and added: Its also
got a little bit to do with some
decisions we made pretty early
on in my administration.
Nevertheless, other gauges
of the job market still bear
scars from the recession. Wages arent rising. And the number of people out of a job for
more than six months or stuck
in part-time jobs when they
want full-time ones remains
elevated.
An Associated Press-GfK
poll found that the economy is
the top issue in voters minds as
the Nov. 4 elections near, and
while most signs point toward
improvement, 62 percent of
likely voters still consider the

economy poor, little changed

from two years earlier.
Given the latest conditions,
the Fed may not move up its
timetable for raising interest
rates to control inflation, economists say. Most expect the
Fed wont act until the middle
of next year.
Fridays data are generally
consistent with the Feds economic forecasts and therefore
should not change their thinking, Doug Handler, an economist at IHS Global Insight, said
in a note to clients.
The Fed has kept its benchmark interest rate near zero for
almost six years in an effort
to encourage more borrowing,
spending and growth.
When the Fed begins raising the rate, the effects will
ripple throughout the economy
and could have a profound impact on businesses and consumers. Rates for mortgages,
auto loans and credit cards will
probably rise. Businesses may
cut back on borrowing. And
stock markets frequently drop
when rates rise.

Some nursing homes still lack

sprinklers despite regulations
By MATT SEDENSKy
Associated Press
Tens of thousands of the countrys most vulnerable people are living in nursing homes without adequate sprinklers or that are missing them
altogether, according to government data.
Despite a history of deadly nursing home
fires and a five-year lead-up to an August 2013
deadline to install sprinklers, 385 facilities in
39 states fail to meet requirements set by the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
the federal agency whose duties include regulating nursing homes. Together, those facilities are licensed to house more than 52,000
people, according to data from the agency
known as CMS.
Forty-four of the homes have no sprinklers
at all.
That is intolerable in this day and age, said
Brian Lee, executive director of Families for

Better Care, which advocates for nursing home

residents. Its not like they dont have money
to put these systems in. They have the money.
They just choose not to do so.
CMS, which had warned last year it would
not grant extensions to the sprinkler rules,
said 97 percent of facilities meet requirements, which are basic fire-safety tools in
many structures, but especially important in
nursing homes where residents may be unable
to quickly evacuate.
CMS and states are actively engaging
with the rest of the facilities to verify their
compliance with this regulation and will take
appropriate actions for noncompliance to ensure the safety of residents, the agency said
in a statement to The Associated Press.
There have been numerous deadly nursing
homes fires over the past century, but it wasnt
until 2003 that CMS has required sprinklers
in newly constructed facilities.

ally forces up wages as employers bid for a dwindling

supply of job-hunters. Higher
paychecks can also push up
prices. Some Fed policymakers have already warned that
unemployment is low enough
to spur higher inflation.
But Fed Chair Janet Yellen
has said the unemployment rate
may exaggerate the strength of
the job market.
For example, there were
7.1 million people working
part-time jobs last month even
though they want full-time
work. That figure is up from
just 4.6 million before the recession.
And among the 9.3 million
unemployed, 3 million have
been out of work for more than
six months. That figure has declined in the past three years
but is still more than twice its
precession level.
Another example: The
share of adults working or
looking for work fell to just under 63 percent last month, the
lowest level in 36 years. Thats
down from 66 percent before
the recession.

Corrections employment recruiter, Forrest Ashby,
left, speaks to students attending The Foot in the
Door Career Fair at the University of Illinois in
Springfield, Ill. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)
About half that decline has
occurred because of increasing
retirements by baby boomers
and other demographic changes, economists say. But much of
the rest has occurred because
many of the unemployed have
gotten discouraged and have
given up looking for work.
Average hourly pay fell a
penny last month to $24.53. In
the past year, it has increased
just 2 percent. Thats barely
ahead of the 1.7 percent infla-

tion rate. In a healthy economy,

wages usually rise 3.5 percent
to 4 percent a year.
Last months job gains occurred in many higher-paying
industries. Professional and
business services, a category
that includes engineers, accountants and architects, added
81,000 jobs, the most in seven
months. Construction companies added 16,000 jobs, while
government jobs, which usually pay solid wages, rose 12,000.

Administration urges
calm over Ebola case

By LOLITA C. BALDOR & LAURAN NEERGAARD

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) The Obama administration on Friday urged calm over the single case of Ebola in the United States,
seeking to reassure the American public that there is little chance
of an outbreak of the illness in this country. The Pentagon said it
had begun the long-awaited aid to disease-ravaged Liberia, with
medical testing at two new labs and construction of treatment
centers.
The administration has long contended that the best way to
contain Ebola is to attack it at its source. The Pentagons spokesman said Friday that up to 4,000 troops could be deployed to
West Africa, a number that has been slowly climbing as military
leaders arrive and assess the need.
But in the U.S., we need to get the information out because
there is a lot of fear, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, infectious diseases
chief at the National Institutes of Health.
Our health care infrastructure in the United States is wellequipped to stop Ebola in its tracks.
The unusual high-level briefing at the White House Friday
reflected the administrations urgency in seeking to reassure the
public that a wide-spread outbreak of Ebola in the U.S. was unlikely.
Fauci was one of five senior administration officials who
briefed reporters Friday, including Health and Human Services
Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell and Lisa Monaco, President
Barack Obamas top homeland security advisers.

In July, I started radiation treatments,

Moorman said. I had 33 five-minute treatments Monday through Friday and took them
during my lunch so I did not miss any work.
She said there were no complications, only a
small itchy rash from the radiation.
If I had to have it (cancer), everything was
a best-case scenario, Moorman said. Everything fell into place.

Jump

Shes had a lot of support from her family,

friends and coworkers.
I take hormone therapy, which is one pill a
day that is supposed to decrease the chance of
a re-occurrence of the cancer, she explained.
Moorman will go back for a mammogram in
December and see her oncologist in March.
She said she has attended a new support
group for cancer survivors and their families at
Lima Memorial Medical Park at 525 N. East-

(From page A1)

This late in the year, the chance of getting
plants, grass, and trees in place this year is
slim, but the other work is already under way.
All the plans have been approved and first
up is an approximately 90-day window to do
what Baker called the hardscape, which includes the concrete work, the electrical tasks
and the placing of large rocks and stones. After that is completed, a landscape engineer
will do the installation of plant material.
The concrete work will include a parking
lot built to hold 33 vehicles, with six of the
parking spaces for handicap-access. The lot is
scheduled to be poured, weather permitting,
during the week of October 13.
The number of parking spaces wasnt that
important. Were in an area thats meant to be
walkable, Baker pointed out. The Wassenberg is just south of a city parking lot, and
other spaces are available nearby. There will
also be a walking route running around the
north side of the center and crossing the footbridge that crosses Town Creek and leads to
the downtown area.
That serves as a nice gateway to downtown, Wallace stated.
That path will be partially funded through
donations from Van Wert Rotary Club. Part of

the proceeds from the Rotary Auction on Oct.

11 will go to that project. Aside from those
funds, the remainder of the money for the
Wassenberg site is coming from the Van Wert
County Foundation. There are no tax funds
used since the Wassenberg is a private organization. However, the funds to be spent on the
exterior project were used as leverage for the
downtown loan which was awarded to Main
Street and the county earlier this summer.
Were not spending extravagantly on the
project,Baker clarified, But we do understand that this is a gateway to the downtown.
The delay in getting work started on the
exterior of the center drew many questions
about why the lot looked to have been forgotten or ignored.
Baker answered, We wanted to really
make sure that we understood every complicated detail of the site and had the issues
ironed out before construction began. So
thats why weve taken the time. We only want
to do this process once. Wed like to thank the
community for being patient with kind of an
eyesore during the summer. But we kicked off
construction last week. Alexander and Bebout
will be doing the bulk of the site work. The
entire site will be very usable come Thanksgiving.

Verhoff explained the center utilizes three grants; the

the center has enough funding to help women who do

Women age 40 and older should have a screening
mammogram every year and

Women in their 20s and

Bob and Emmet Dalton
in the meantime were having
better luck at the First National
Bank. When they entered the
bank the found within Cashier
Ayers, his son, Albert Ayers,
and Teller W.H. Shepherd.
None of them were armed,
and with leveled revolvers
the brother bandits easily intimidated them. Albert Ayers
and Teller Shepherd were kept
under the muzzles of Emmet
Daltons revolvers while Bob
Dalton forced Cashier Ayers
to strip the safe vault and cash
drawers of all the money contained in them and place it in a
sack which had been brought
along for that purpose.
Fearing to leave them behind lest they should give
the alarm before the bandits
should be able to mount their
horses and escape, the desperadoes marched the officers
of the bank out of the door
with the intention of keeping them under guard while
they made their escape. The
party made its appearance at
the door of the bank just as
Liveryman Spears and his
companions of the Marshals
posse took their positions in
the square. When the Dalton
brothers saw the armed men
in the square they appreciated
their peril on the instant, and
leaving the bank officers on
the steps of the bank building,
ran for their horses. As soon
as they reached the sidewalk
Spears rifle quickly came to
position. An instant later it
spoke and Bob Dalton, the

notorious leader of the notorious gang, fell in his tracks,

dead. There was not a quiver
of a muscle after he fell. The
bullet had struck him in the
right temple and ploughed
through his brain and passed
out just above his left eye.
Emmet Dalton had the start of
his brother, and before Spears
could draw a bead on him he
had dodged behind the corner
of the bank and was making
time in the direction of the alley where the bandits had tied
their horses.
The shot which dropped
Bob Dalton aroused Texas
Jack and his men in Congdons bank, where they were
patiently waiting for the time
lock to be sprung with the
hour of 10. Running to the
windows of the bank they
saw their leader prostrate
on the ground. Raising their
rifles to their shoulders they
fired one volley out of the
windows. Cashier Ayers fell
on the steps of his bank, shot
through the groin. Shoemaker
Brown of the attacking party
in the square was shot through
the body. He was quickly removed to his shop, but died
just as his was carried within.
The firing attracted the attention of Marshal Connelly,
who, collecting more men for
his posse and with the few that
he had already gathered, ran
hurriedly to the scene of the
conflict.
After firing their volley from the windows of the
bank, the bandits, appreciating that their only safety lay

in flight, attempted to escape.

They ran from the door of
the bank, firing as they fled.
The Marshalls posse in the
square, without organization of any kind, fired at the
fleeing bandits, each man for
himself. Spears trusty Winchester spoke twice more in
quick succession before the
others of the posse could take
aim, and Joseph Evans and
Texas Jack fell dead, both
shot through the head, making three dead bandits to his
credit. In the general fusillade, Grant E. Dalton, one of
the two surviving members
of Texas Jacks squad, Marshall Connelly, D.M. Baldwin,
and George Cubine were mortally wounded and died on the
field. Allie Ogee, the only survivor of the band, succeeded
in escaping to the alley where
the horses were tied, and
mounting the swiftest horse of
the lot, fled south in the direction of Indian Territory.
Emmet Dalton, who had escaped from the First National
Bank, had already reached the
alley in safety, but he had some
trouble in getting mounted,
and Allie Ogee had already
made his escape before Emmet got fairly started. Several
of the posse, anticipating that
horses would be required, were
already mounted, and quickly
pursued the escaping bandits.
Emmet Daltons horse was no
match for the fresher animals
of his pursuers. As the pursuers
closed on him, he turned suddenly in his saddle, and fired
upon his would-be captors.

Late drive seals Knights Cougars nipped in

27-14 win over Jefferson final minute again
BY BRIAN BASSETT
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com

BY JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
CONVOY The Jefferson defense came into play at
Crestview on Friday night allowing just 64 rushing yards
per game.
The host Knights came in
gaining better than 320 on the
ground per contest. In a case of
unstoppable force versus immovable object, the Knights
bruising ground game gashed
the Wildcats for 321 yards on
50 attempts and claimed a 2714 Northwest Conference win.
Our offensive line, you gotta tip your cap to them, Crestview head coach Jared Owens
said following the game.
The Knights (6-0, 3-0
NWC) have used the big play
often this season. Against a
defense as stingy as Jeffersons
typically is, Coach Owens
couldnt have expected to have
three different ball carriers rip
off gains of at least 30 yards.
(Jeffersons) defense gets
to the ball as good as any high
school defense that Ive seen,
Owens said. We knew that
sustaining our blocks and getting to the second level would
be huge. The times that we
were able to do that, we were
able to get some big chunks of
yards.
Playing without a pair of
injured starters, Jeffersons
backfield had a different look
this week, but Kurt Wallenhaupt stepped in under center
and guided the Wildcats to
a pair of touchdown drives.
Along the way, he gained 45
yards on 14 carries, part of a
Jefferson attack that gained
143 yards on the ground. That
total was less than half the
yardage the Jeffcats are used
to accumulating.
(They) did a good job,
Jefferson head coach Chris

LIMA The Van Wert Cougar football team led their Western Buckeye
League contest at Lima Bath Friday evening for all but 45 seconds.
Unfortunately, it was the final 45 seconds that really mattered, as Bath scored
in the closing seconds of the game to take a
15-14 lead. The Wildcats ultimately won by
the same score.
I just feel bad for (the kids), said Van
Wert coach Keith Recker. They dont need
to feel sorry for themselves. They work so
hard and to have this happen in two games
is just tough for them.
The game was an almost mirror image
of the Cougars week one loss to Bryan.
Though after a big win against Elida, Van
Werts ability to close out games seemed to be improving.
Last week, we made the plays at the end to win, and tonight
it got flipped on us, continued Recker.
The Cougars couldnt have started the game any better.
They forced a Bath punt on the opening series of the game and
drove the bell right down the field on their first possession.
Van Wert went 56 yards on seven plays on the drive, which
was capped off by a 7-yard touchdown run by junior quarterback Colin Smith with 7:03 to play in the first. A PAT by junior
kicker Gavin Gardner gave Van Wert an early 7-0 lead.
Meanwhile, The Cougar defense went to work giving Bath
fits. The Wildcats managed only 70 yards of offense in the first
half, and Van Wert held Bath senior quarterback Cam Jenkins
to 2-of-17 passing for 29 yards.
Thats what we expect of them, explained Recker of his
defense. Theyve shown that for 5 of 6 weeks now. Theyre
opportunistic.
The lone Bath score in the first half came thanks to its defense. After downing a punt at the Van Wert one-yard line, the
Wildcat defense tackled junior running back Justice Tussing in
the end zone for a safety.
The safety brought Bath within five, 7-2, with 8:49 to play
in the second quarter.
Neither team scored again in the first half, as Van Wert put
up 116 yards to Baths 70. The Cougars got 91 of their first-half
yards on the ground.
Bath used a squib kick and recovery to open the third quarter, but the Cougar defense held. Later in the third quarter it
was much of the same when junior safety Ryan Stoller picked
off Jenkins to end a Wildcat drive.
Meanwhile, Van Wert added to its lead thanks to a 1-yard
touchdown run by Smith. The Gardner PAT gave Van Wert a
14-2 lead with 9:06 to play in the third. The touchdown was set
up on a 67-yard Smith run earlier in the drive.

Sommers said of his depleted
offense. They played hard. I
was proud of them.
After falling behind by
three scores, the Wildcats finally began to chip away in
the third quarter. A vicious
wind knocked Seth Mosers
punt and a fortunate bounce
resulted in the Wildcats taking possession at the Crestview 26 yards line with 3:03
to play in the period.
It took five plays for the
Wildcats to find pay dirt, as
Adam Rode bullied his way
into the end zone from one
yard out to make it a 21-7
game.
After Crestview failed to
move the ball, Sommers used
a timeout to force the Knights
to punt into the wind again
with 17 seconds left in the
quarter. Instead, Owens called
for the fake, but Justin Overmyer was stopped short of the

line to gain and the Wildcats

were in business once again.
A defensive pass interference call set Jefferson up with
a first-and-10 from the 13, but
the Wildcats faced a fourthand-1 twice on the series.
Rode got the call both times,
gaining a yard to make it firstand-goal, then cashing in on
a fourth-and-goal from inside
the one.
Rodes second score of
the game brought the Jeffcats
back to within 21-14. Crestview needed to swing the momentum and, with the fourth
quarter wind at their back, the
Knights did just that.
Taking over with 7:42 to
play in the game, the Knights
continued to pound the ball
on the ground. Crestview
converted a third-and-3 when
Malcolm Oliver gained seven
yards off tackle, then moved
the chains once again when

quarterback Preston Zaleski

picked up three on a keeper.
Facing a third-and-3 at the
Jefferson 36, Zaleski let fly
with just his second pass attempt of the game. He connected with tight end Nate
Owens for a 12-yard gain and
a crucial first down. The drive
was eventually ended with
an Oliver touchdown from 11
yards out, putting the Knights
up by 13 and effectively putting the game out of reach.
They were the more physical team at that point (during the comeback), but we
were able to put it in (the end
zone), and kind of put it out of
reach, Owens continued.
Crestview jumped in front
thanks to a first quarter Jefferson fumble. The Knights
recovered a bad snap to gain
possession at the Wildcats 43.

Coldwater takes care of

business versus Panthers
BY NIck JOHNSON
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
COLDWATER The
Parkway Panthers took the
short trip down 118 to Coldwater High School to take on
the number one ranked team
in Division V in the Coldwater
Cavaliers. The Cavs did what
the Cavs were expected to
do, jumping ahead early and
cruising to a 41-0 Midwest
Athletic Conference victory.
After a Parkway punt to
start the game, Coldwater
quarterback and future Eastern Michigan safety Brody
Hoying twice hooked up with
Neal Muhlenkamp on first
down, each time for 21 yards.
Hoying capped off the drive
with a 5-yard touchdown run
with 7:51 left in the first period. Kyle McKibben added the
point after and Coldwater had
a 7-0 lead.
Parkway turned the ball
over on an interception, but
got the ball right back on a
Hoying fumble inside the
Panther 10. On third down on
their own six yard line, Parkway was flagged for a foul in
the end zone and Coldwater
was awarded a safety bring
the score to 9-0.
The ensuing Cavs drive
ended with a 5-yard run by
Hoying to bring the score to
15-0 with 3:56 left in the first
period.
The next two Coldwater
drives end with scores as Hoying connected with Chris Post
for 10-yard touchdown pass
and in the second period. Post
later scored when he ran the
ball into the end zone from
6-yards out. McKibben went
1-for-2 on the extra points
and it was 28-0 in the second
quarter.
Later on in the period,
Cory Selhorst tool the ball 12
yards to pay dirt to extend the
Coldwater lead to 35-0 after
the point-after. With 1:01 be-

night. Dugan led Parkway in total yards, but the

fore the break, Hoying connected with Derek Thobe for
an 8-yard touchdown pass to
bring the half time score to
41-0.
Turnovers are killer; been
killing us all year (three interception tonight), Parkway coach Dan Cairns noted.
Good teams can create a lot
of that stuff, and Coldwater is
a good team.
Coldwater got the ball to
open the second half and a
pair of completions by Jack
Hemmelgarn put the Cavs
in the red zone but the Parkway defense held strong on a
fourth-and-2 and forced the
turnover on downs.
Parkways first drive of
the second half was their best
work of the night.
The Panthers leaned hard
on tailback Sage Dugan, who
carried the ball five times
for 36 yards including a 12yard rush on the first snap
of the drive. That carry gave
the Panthers their initial first
down of the contest.
On third-and-short, quarterback Justin Barna hooked
up with Dugan for a 16-yard

completion and, on the next

play, Barna found Kevin
Flaugher for a 17-yard pass.
The Panthers had worked the
ball into the red zone when, on
third down, Barna rolled to his
right under pressure from the
Coldwater defense. His throw
to the back of the end zone
was intercepted.
Coldwater called off the
dogs in the second half and
got some young guys in there,
and we did the same in the
second half, Cairns added.
We did some nice things in
the second half. Stuff that we
can build on for the last four
games of the season.
Coldwater improves to 6-0
on the season and 4-0 in the
MAC. The Panthers drop to
0-6 and 0-4 in conference.
The Panthers will travel to
Versailles next Friday for
week seven.
The last four weeks of the
season, I feel are all against
teams that are winnable for
us. So we have to come back
on Monday and hit it hard so
we can pick up those last four
game and finish the season
4-6, finished coach Cairns.

Wildcats spoil homecoming for Jays

BY LARRY HEIINg
DHI Media Correspndent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The good news about homecoming for Delphos St. Johns was that the rain
held off for the parade and the presentation of
queen Alyssa Martin with her court.
The bad news was that Minster stopped all
over the Blue Jays hopes of containing the
top-rated quarterback and wide receiver combination in the Midwest Athletic Conference
with a 34-0 shutout.
Blue Jay head coach Todd Schulte knew that
the Wildcats would present a great challenge
for his team with their three-man front on defense. That leaves a lot of defenders roaming
in space to move in and make a play on the
ball. The key for us is to run the football.
That key didnt unlock any points for the
Jays, as Minsters defense held St. Johns to
minus-one yard rushing and a total offensive
production of 35 yards.
After the punt, Minster marched down the
field, as quarterback Josh Nixon completed
passes to Jared Thobe and Eli Wolfe. Nixons
shovel pass to Jason Schultz was good for a
5-yard touchdown and Schultzs extra point
was good as Minster lead 7-0 with 7:28 left in
the first.
St. Johns went backwards after the Evan
Hays kickoff return to the 16 yard line. Austin
Heiing was stuffed for a 1-yard loss on the run
and Hays lost five on a sweep, as Wolf stopped
him in the backfield. Deven Haggard was
forced to punt from the end zone and got off a

good kick to the Jays 45 yard line.

Minster took only seven plays to score,
however, as Nixon found Brycee Schmiesing
in the corner of the end zone for the 16-yard
touchdown. Schultzs extra point hit the upright as Minster led at the 3:14 mark 13-0.
St. Johns finally got a first down as Martz
picked up six yards on a pair of runs and completed a 6-yard pass to Eric Vogt. The drive
stalled and Haggard was called on to punt as
the first quarter expired. The snap was low and
Haggard was forced to run and was stopped on
his own 31 yard line.
It took the Wildcats only four plays to reach
pay dirt again as Evan Huelsman ran it in from
14 yards out. The PAT was good, as Minster
silenced the Blue Jay faithful with a 20-0 at
the 10:23 mark.
Hays had a nice kickoff return out to the 34
yard line as the Jays needed an offensive spark.
Martz completed a 11-yard pass to Tim Kreeger
as the Jays picked up their second first down of
the contest. After a bad snap was recovered by
Martz, St. Johns faced second=and-long. In a
passing situation, Martz hit Garrett Nagel after an incompletion, but was short of the first
down. Haggard nailed a 50-yard punt that gave
Minster a long field starting at their own 14.
The Wildcats quickly got to midfield on a
screen pass to Wolf. Sam Dues ran the ball five
times in the drive as Minster reached the one
yard line. Quarterback Nixon fumbled the ball
on the sneak and it was recovered by Heiing
for the Blue Jays.

Wayne Trace strikes

quickly to rout Tigers
By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
DHI Media Group Business Manager
kwannemacher@timesbulletin.com

Sinn added a 60-yard touchdown reception of a Dingus pass for the first of three
Wayne Trace scores in the second quarter.
Dingus also recorded a 60-yard run for a
score and Shepherd scampered in from
ten yards out to widen the lead to 49-0
at halftime.
From there, Wayne Trace played a
rotation of reserves in the second half
but Holgate did find the end zone twice.
Szabo got the Tigers on the scoreboard with a two-yard touchdown run
in the third quarter. Holgate had taken
over at the Raider two-yard line after
a 55-yard fumble recovery return from
Nick Luderman.
The purple-and-whites final
score of the night came with 22 seconds left in the contest as Baily Hohenberger plunged in from two-yards
out, setting the final margin at 49-15.
Dingus led the Raider ground
game with 140 yards on four carries
while Jayden Sherry added 62 yards
on five tries. Showalter (23 yards),
Darius Hale (21 yards), Caleb Schultz (19
yards) and Shepherd (ten yards) also contributed to the Raider rushing attack.
Wayne Trace finished the night with 268
rushing yards on 28 attempts while also posting 202 yards via the passing attack.
Through the air, Showalter completed five of
nine passes for 140 yards and the Tigers Szabo
connected on 12 of 21 attempts for 128 yards.
Blakeley led the Tigers with four receptions for 56 yards and Devin Hohenberger
recorded 47 yards on three catches.
David Sinn paced Wayne Trace with three
receptions for 95 yards and Cole Shepherd
chipped in a pair of catches for 87 yards.
Dingus (18 yards) and Nick Glass (two yards)
also had receptions for the Raiders.
Holgate totaled 61 rushing yards and 138
yards through the air.
Wayne Trace returns to action Friday as
the Raiders host Edgerton, a 54-31 winner
over Antwerp last night. The Bulldogs will
come into the contest at 3-3 overall and 2-1
in the league.

HOLGATE Wayne Trace scored

on three of its first six plays from
scrimmage as the Raiders rolled to a
49-15 win at Holgate on Friday night
in Green Meadows Conference action.
The red-white-and-blue found the
end zone on their first, third and sixth
play of the night in opening a 28-0 advantage after one quarter.
From there, Wayne Trace added
21 more second quarter points and
cruised the rest of the way to move to
5-1 overall and 3-0 in league play.
Jake Dingus rumbled 57-yards
on the games first play for a Raider
touchdown on homecoming night at
Tiger Stadium. Tyler Showalter then
ran in the two-point conversion to
make it 8-0 Wayne Trace.
After Holgate was unable to answer, the Raiders needed only two
plays to score again.
Taking over at the Holgate 48, Showalter
hooked up with Cole Shepherd on a 23-yard
pass on first down before running the final
25-yards on the next play to make it 14-0
Wayne Trace.
The Tigers appeared to be ready to move
into scoring position on their next possession
as quarterback Dylon Szabo found Andrew
Blakeley for a reception into Raider territory.
However, Showalter then made a sterling
defensive play, stripping Blakeley of the ball
as he was running down the sideline to give
Wayne Trace possession at its own 24-yard
line.
Two plays later, Showalter hooked up with
Shepherd on a 64-yard scoring strike that,
combined with Dingus running in the twopoint conversion, made it 22-0 with 6:00 left
in the first quarter.
Showalter connected with David Sinn
on the next Raider possession for a 17-yard
touchdown toss as Wayne Trace posted a
28-0 advantage after one quarter.

Zach Goecke ran wild 35 totes, 221

yards, four touchdowns behind an offensive line that helped pave the way to 326 yards
rushing (67 carries) and 422 overall.
The running backs get their names in the
paper but its the offensive line that does the
dirty work. By dirty, I mean good, Spencerville
coach John Zerbe said. We talked about it from
when we started to practice for this week that the
only way we could beat LCC was to be physical;
they are a great team. It was the first thing we
told them this week and the last thing we said
before the game.

Bengals visit Patriots in bid to stay unbeaten

By HOWARD ULMAN
AP Sports Writer
FOXBOROUGH,
Mass.
(AP) One team is thriving
with a stingy defense.
The other is struggling
with an inept offense.
Both face a critical test
when they meet Sunday night.
Are the unbeaten Cincinnati Bengals that good?
Are the New England Patriots that bad?
Its a good chance for us to
go out there and put it on tape
and show the whole nation
this Cincinnati team is real,
nose tackle Domata Peko said.
The Bengals havent won
a playoff game since Jan.
6, 1991, when they beat the
Houston Oilers 41-14, the
same score of last Monday
nights Patriots loss at the
Kansas City Chiefs.
Now the Bengals (3-0) are
the AFC only team without a
loss, have allowed an NFLlow 11 points per game and
have outscored opponents by
an average of nearly 16. And

nothing can hold us back.

Browns looking to end road skid at woeful Titans

By TERESA M. WALKER
AP Pro Football Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Coach Mike
Pettine asked his Cleveland Browns who remembered their last road win. He had to wait
a bit before quarterback Brian Hoyer came up
with the answer.
Well, it has been more than a year.
Road success does not come easily for the
Browns, who have only three wins away from
Cleveland since 2011 and none since Sept. 22,
2013, when Hoyer started at Minnesota. Pettine is the latest Browns coach trying to win
outside of Ohio, and his next chance to snap
a seven-game skid comes Sunday against the
struggling Titans.
Its truly you against an entire stadium
filled with the opposing teams fans, Pettine
said. I think you have to be very poised. You
have to be focused. You have to understand
that its a long game and youre going to face
some adversity.
The Titans (1-3) know that only too well
under their own first-year coach, Ken Whisenhunt. They have been outscored 100-34 in
a three-game skid, the last two on the road
capped by a 41-17 loss at Indianapolis.
Weve still got that pit in our gut, Whisenhunt said. It hurts. The thing thats hopefully
different for us this week is being at home, going out and knowing the routine, not having to
travel. We can make a play early and get some
confidence, and maybe thats all we need.
The Titans hope being at home three of the
next four games helps them snap out of their

doldrums, but they have won only three of their
last nine games at LP Field. Safety Bernard Pollard said the Titans were horrible in the first
month of the season and its time to show they
have players who can be stars in the NFL.

Bulldogs throttle Paulding

PAULDING Ada racked
up 527 yards of offense Friday

Blake Ansley added a three
yard scoring run with 5:58 left
in the opening quarter. Paulding got on the scoreboard with
5:28 left in the first quarter on

ond team quarterback Chase

Sumner finished the scoring

Breast cancers that are

A risk factor is anything that affects your chance of getting a disease,

such as cancer.
Different cancers have different risk factors. For example, exposing
skin to strong sunlight is a risk factor for skin cancer. Smoking is a risk
factor for cancers of the lung, mouth, larynx (voice box), bladder, kidney, and several other organs. But risk factors dont tell us everything.
Having a risk factor, or even several, does not mean that you will get
the disease. Most women who have one or more breast cancer risk
factors never develop the disease, while many women with breast
cancer have no apparent risk factors (other than being a woman and
growing older). Even when a woman with risk factors develops breast
cancer, it is hard to know just how much these factors might have
contributed to her cancer.
Some risk factors, like a persons age or race, cant be changed. Others
are related to personal behaviors such as smoking, drinking, and diet.
Still others are linked to cancer-causing factors in the environment.
Some factors influence risk more than others, and your risk for breast
cancer can change over time, due to factors such as aging or lifestyle
changes.

The goal of screening

exams for early breast
cancer detection is to
find cancers before they
start to cause symptoms.
Screening refers to tests
and exams used to find a
disease, such as cancer,
in people who do not
have any symptoms.
Early detection means

underweight.
Avoid excess weight gain at all ages. For those who are
currently overweight or obese, losing even a small amount of
weight has health benefits and is a good place to start.
Engage in regular physical activity and limit consumption
of high-calorie foods and beverages as key strategies for
maintaining a healthy weight.

Adopt a physically active lifestyle.

Adults should engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate

intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each
week, or an equivalent combination, preferably spread
throughout the week.
Children and adolescents should engage in at least 1 hour
of moderate- or vigorous-intensity activity each day, with
vigorous-intensity activity occurring at least 3 days each
week.
Limit sedentary behavior such as sitting, lying down,
watching television, or other forms of screen-based
entertainment.
Doing some physical activity above usual activities, no
matter what the level of activity, can have many health
benefits.

Consume a healthy diet, with an

emphasis on plant foods.

Choose foods and beverages in amounts that help achieve

and maintain a healthy weight.
Limit consumption of processed meat and red meat.
Eat at least 2 cups of vegetables and fruits each day.
Choose whole grains instead of refined-grain products. If
you drink alcoholic beverages, limit consumption.
Drink no more than 1 drink per day for women or 2 per day
for men.

Maintain a healthy weight throughout life.

Balance calorie intake with physical activity.

Avoid excessive weight gain throughout life.
Achieve and maintain a healthy weight if currently
overweight or obese.

in the halls.
I have no clue what to do,
since I have never had a crush
before and Im not going to
date yet. It hurts my heart. I
know crushes are fleeting, but
can you help me figure out
what to do in the meantime?
CRUSHED BY CRUSHING IN TENNESSEE
DEAR CRUSHED: Your
crush seems to be a young
man with character, courage
and self-confidence because thats what it takes to
stand up to bullies. Because
he stood up for you, he already
knows who you are. So when
you see him in the hall, smile
and say Hi.
Thats not being pushy; its
being friendly. And if youre
sitting around with an aching
heart, I have a solution: Get up
and get moving. Join a club, a
sport, dance class or do some
volunteering.

DEAR ABBY: I read your

column often and find it deeply troubling when girls write
you lamenting that they are
still single. Im 18, in my
freshman year of college and
I have never dated. Im perfectly OK with this.
Im not writing to bash
girls who are in high school
relationships, but rather to
show theres an alternative.
Abby, please remind them that
its fully acceptable for us to
spend our teenage years single
if we prefer. No one should
feel pressured into a relationship because everyone else is
dating.
Girlfriends, if youre not
ready for dating, then focus on
discovering your beliefs, your
purpose and what your talents,
passions and values are. If you
choose to do it accompanied
by a partner, thats fine. But if
you prefer to journey alone or
with your friends, thats JUST
as valid. INDEPENDENT

give your message the consideration it deserves.

Maryland attracts sellout

for No. 20 Ohio State
By DAVID GINSBURG
AP Sports Writer
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) Maryland coach Randy
Edsall is trying hard to sell his players on the notion that theyll
be playing just another game on Saturday.
The ticket sales suggest otherwise.
A sellout crowd will be on hand for the Terrapins inaugural
Big Ten home game, against No. 20 Ohio State. If there was
any doubt by Maryland bolted from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the evidence will be on full display at rocking Byrd
Stadium for the noon kickoff.
Its the first sellout at Maryland since Nov. 22, 2008, against
Florida State.
Although the historical aspect of this game is noteworthy,
Maryland (4-1, 1-0) is more interested in getting the best of the
Buckeyes (3-1, 0-0), who have won 16 straight Big Ten games
and the same number of successive league openers.
I understand all the significance of it, Edsall said. But
this game gives us the opportunity to get to 5-1 and gets us the
opportunity to be 2-0 in the league. We know Ohio State is a
very good team and we need to play well. All the surroundings
of the game, we leave that up to our operations people. What
we need to do as a football team is focus on who Ohio State is.
The Buckeyes are the biggest challenge the Terrapins have
faced this year. Although Ohio State lost quarterback Braxton
Miller in the preseason to a shoulder injury, the Buckeyes still
have a formidable offense, as evidenced by their 50-point, 700yard performance last week against Cincinnati.
Ohio State is used to playing in a hostile environment, but
this will be a unique experience.

(From page B2)

After three punts opened
the contest, Spencerville commenced its second drive at the
17. Keyed by a 44-yard aerial
from Mason Nourse to Calvin
Wilson, they needed seven
plays to get on the board. At the
LCC (4-2) 10, Goecke took a
handoff inside right guard and
showed good power through
the defense to the end zone.
Logan Vandemark tacked on
the point-after for a 7-0 edge at
4:04 of the opening period.
LCC took a mere two plays
after a Dimitri Floyd 21yard kickoff return to go
65 yards. At midfield, Ethan
OConnor rolled right and
found a wide-open Floyd deep
down the right sideline and
the senior finished it off. Nick
Taflinger tied it 7-7 at 3:43 of
the quarter.
Spencerville replied with
a 10-yard drive set up by
a 48-yard kickoff return by
Goecke that traveled 37
yards. At the 1, Andrew Emery busted in off right guard.
Vandemark made it 14-7 with
11:58 left in the half.
After forcing another punt,
Spencerville went 79 yards in
11 plays, all on the ground. At
the LCC 2, Goecke lowered

his shoulder off right guard.

However, the kick failed for a
20-7 score with 4:54 showing.
LCC starting as its 34
did reach the Spencerville
24 in seven plays but an illegal block penalty stymied the
drive and forced a punt, effectively ending the half.
A penalty stymied a promising Bearcat drive to open
the second half and LCC
commenced at its 31. With
OConnor 6-of-6 on the 8-play
drive, it was his legs that finished it off. At the Bearcat
5, he ran a keeper to the
right side and found paydirt.
Taflinger made it 20-14 with
5:57 showing in the third.
Spencerville with halfback Trevor McMichael out
due to injury; Calvin Wilson
took over then took 7:42
and 17 plays to move from the
33 to the visitor 11 but Nourse
was stopped short on a 4thand-4.
An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty short-circuited
the LCC drive and a 7-yard
shanked punt gave the Black
Attack great field position at
the visitor 25. Three plays later including a personal foul
on LCC Goecke blasted
in off right guard from the 3.

Wilson ran in the 2-pointer for that. This is a big win for us.

(From page B1)
They were forcing us to run the ball
and we did that successfully at times - the
opening drive of the game and the opening drive of the second half, said Recker.
Unfortunately, things then gradually
started to get worse for the Cougars.
Bath threatened throughout the remainder of the third quarter, but the
fourth quarter marked the tipping point.
An anemic Bath passing attack suddenly
came alive in the fourth - thanks in large
part to receivers catching passes. Wildcat
receivers combined for 10 drops in the
first three quarters.
Defensively, take away the fourth
quarter and we couldnt have played any
better. They had some dropped balls in
spots we needed to be in. We tackled
well. Just that fourth quarter (gave us
problems), explained Recker.
A Cougar punt gave Bath the ball at
the Cougar 39-yard line with five and a

half minutes left in the game.

Jenkins then scrambled out of the
pocked after a Cougar blitz and found
senior receiver Corey Briggs wide open
across the field for a 39-yard touchdown
pass. A missed PAT kept the score at
14-8 with 5:21 to play in the game.
The one-play touchdown drive didnt
help things for the Cougars, and neither
did a three-and-out on the following
drive with a chance to eat some clock.
Following a Van Wert punt, Bath went
back to work - this time with a more methodical drive.
The Wildcats put together a 9-play,
57-yard drive that began with 2:50 to play
in the fourth and ended on a 2-yard Jenkins run with 45 seconds showing. The
Bath PAT was good this time, to put the
hosts up 15-14.
The Wildcats then forced four consecutive incomplete passes to seal the win.
(The kids) work hard and do every-

thing we ask. (Eventually) the chips will

fall in their favor, said Recker.
The Cougars only managed only 106
yards of offense in the second half, especially costly considering picking up even
one first down in the fourth quarter might
have sealed them a win. Van Wert totaled
222 yards of offense in total, with 197
coming on the ground.
On the flip side, after putting up only
70 offensive yards in the first, Bath exploded for 210 second half yards, 152 of
those coming through the air.
Despite the loss, Recker sees a hungry
team with some winnable games left on
the schedule.
(The kids) know that there are winnable games left. I think they know that
because they have a little bit more belief
in themselves and what they can do. Id
be pretty surprised if were not ready to
go next week against Celina, concluded
Recker.

JAyS
(From page B1)
St. Johns could not capitalize on the break as the Jays
went three-and-out. It took
Minster only 1:41 to score as
Nixon hit Schmiesing for the
second time in the end zone
as the Wildcats lead 27-0 with
only 1:33 left in the half.
Nick Martz was injured
on the next play from scrimmage for the Jays and fumbled
the ball back to the Wildcats
with 1:17 remaining before
the break. Plenty of time for

Minster, as Nixon connected

with Schmiessing for a 15yard touchdown pass before
the half expired.
Neither team scored in the
second half as the new OHSSA mercy rule kept the clock
running and the junior varsity
squads got valuable playing
time. St. Johns managed to
pick up only three first downs
and Minster picked up 16. The
Wildcats pounded out 337
yards total offense with 142 on
the ground and 185 in the air.

It took only two plays for
turnover to result in points.
Oliver took an option pitch and
raced 32 yards up the sideline.
Zaleski dashed in from 11
yards out for the touchdown.
Jake Tatums extra point made
it 7-0.
The Knights used the big
play to set up their second
score later in the half. On a
first-down play at their own
21, Zaleski kept the ball and
darted through the Jefferson
defense, weaving his way well

into Wildcat territory, gaining

44 yards on the run. Zaelski
punched in his second score
with a 1-yard sneak, but the
kick failed to make it 13-0.
The Knights followed the
same formula in the third
quarter. Overmyer ripped off
a 56-yard run straight up the
middle of the Wildcat defense
to make it first-and-goal for
the Knights. Zaleski eventually added his third touchdown
when he went in from two
yards out, then converted the
2-pointer himself for a 21-0

edge.
Crestview stays tied atop
the conference standings with
Spencerville, which took
down LCC on Friday, but Owens knows his team cant look
ahead to the Oct. 17 matchup
between the two school, not in
a conference this competitive.
Our conference is as even
as it can be, I think, said Owens. We cant take any deep
breaths here and relax because
we play an Ada team which is
starting a freshman quarterback and hes going to be doing nothing but getting better.
For the Wildcats, back-toback losses have derailed a
strong start to the season. Jefferson was flagged nine firsthalf penalties and saw four
fumbled snaps, one of which
resulted in a turnover.
Just get better, Sommers
said. Get better and get ready
for Columbus Grove.
The Wildcats host the Bulldogs next Friday while Crestview visits Ada.

Our company proudly supports the initiatives taken towards

education, early detection and treatments that give rise to
hopes, dreams and celebrating life.
For every Breast Cancer Awareness specialty pink tool box sold
through December 31, 2014 Kennedy Manufacturing will donate
5% of all sales to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
