DELPHOS - Medicare open en-
rollment is the annual period when
individuals can review, compare
and select health care plan choices,
including Medicare Part D pre-
scription drug plan, which starts on
Wednesday, October 15 and closes
on December 7.
The Delphos Senior Citizens
Center, located at 301 East Suthoff
Street, will offer free Medicare
Check-ups beginning October 15.
Director Alice Curth who is
OSHIIP (Ohio Senior Health In-
surance Information Program) cer-
tied said seniors can call and
make an appointment, which will
take approximately 30 minutes to
an hour.
We can sign seniors up online
for a drug plan or Advantage plan,
she said. I recommend all seniors
bring in their red, white, and blue
Medicare card, list of doctors with
their phone numbers, list of medi-
cations and check on their plans
even if they dont want to change
anything.
She said from one year to the
next, drug plans change and a medi-
cation that was covered might not
be covered any longer. It is a good
preventative measure to be sure
there are no surprises and people
are not stuck in a plan that does not
suit their needs for a whole year
starting January 2015.
We can plug in all the informa-
tion prescriptions and doctors
on the Medicare website, which
sorts through all the plans and see
which plan offers the best cover-
age, Curth said. If the prescrip-
tion is not covered, the senior would
have to pick up the cost to continue
taking the medication, which could
be quite a nancial burden.
Curth said Medicare recipients
get a booklet explaining their ben-
ets and changes but most of them
dont look at them or they might not
understand what it all means. The
center is open Monday through Fri-
day 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and appoint-
ments can be made with Curth by
calling 419-692-1331.
The Medicare Rx Access Net-
work of Ohio reports that in Ohio
in 2015:
100% of people with Medicare
have access to a Medicare Advan-
tage plan
104 Medicare Advantage plans
are available
31 Medicare Prescription Drug
Plans are available
100% of people with Part D
have access to a plan with lower pre-
mium than what they paid in 2014
25% of people with Medicare
Part D get Extra Help (also called
the low-income subsidy, or LIS)
$15.60 is the lowest monthly
premium for a prescription drug
plan. Plan costs and coverage
change each year, so everyone with
Medicare should check to make
sure their plan still meets their
health needs and budget. There
may be a Medicare health or drug
plan available with better coverage
or a lower premium in 2015.
The Van Wert Council on Ag-
ing at 220 Fox Road in Van Wert
will host a Medicare informational
presentation at 1 p.m. on October
14 and offer counseling beginning
at 9 a.m. on November 12. Call 419-
238-5011 to schedule an appoint-
ment for counseling.
In Putnam County, the Ottawa
Senior Center located at 1035 E.
Third Street will host a Medicare
informational presentation at 10
a.m. on October 30.

DELPHOS Parents of smaller
children will now nd the perfect-
sized playground equipment at Wa-
terworks Park. The Kiwanis Club of
Delphos installed the smaller struc-
ture Friday and will nish the area
with mulch today.
This is the fth playground proj-
ect of the club that has made its
mission to provide updated, safe
equipment for children visiting the
Delphos parks.
The Kiwanis are passionate
about replacing and upgrading the
playground equipment for our chil-
dren, Kiwanian Jamey Wisher said
Friday. This new system at Water-
works is geared toward children ages
2-5 and its smaller so parents can
access their children at any point on
the equipment.
The clubs rst project was at
Stadium Park east of the Delphos
Municipal Swimming Pool in 2012.
More than $100,000 in new equip-
ment was installed and has since
been enhanced with an adult swing
and other amenities for parents and
caregivers so they are comfortable
while the children play.
The second endeavor was at Wa-
terworks Park with a $55,000 sys-
tem. The group moved on to Gar-
eld Park in 2011 with $50,000 in
upgrades to the playground, a new
basketball court, signage and land-
scaping and nished the playground
area at Gareld in 2014 with the ad-
dition of a slide. This past summer,
the club installed new volleyball
courts at Stadium Park just prior to
the Fourth of July celebration and
also constructed new benches for the
Stadium Park football stadium.
Wisher said while the projects
have enhanced the parks, theyve
also been the catalyst behind an in-
creased membership for the club.
The community has been very
reception to our projects and its
driven a lot of younger members to
us who have children and appreciate
what weve done in the past and they
enjoy working on the playgrounds
for the kids, Wisher said.
Funding for the projects comes
from various fundraisers held by the
club, including the Fourth of July
celebration, Pancake and Sausage
Day coming up on Nov. 1 at Jefferson
High School, health checks, grants
from the Arnold C. Dienstberger
Foundation and private donations.
Other civic groups like the Delphos
Stadium Club and the Marbletown
Festival Committee have lent time,
expertise and dollars to projects as
well with a large community volun-
teer base backing them.
The smaller equipment installa-
tion Friday at Waterworks Park is
the rst project completely funded
by the club. It came with a price tag
or $16,000.
Playground equipment special-
ist Kent Karhoff of Findlay was on
hand Friday for the installation.

VAN WERT The Ohio
State Senate President, Keith
Faber, came to Van Wert on
Friday to speak to local Re-
publicans about the current
situation in the state. It was
not a long trip from Fabers
hometown of Celina, but the
12th District Senator had
plenty to say, ranging from
Ohios improving reputation
as a state in which to do busi-
ness to education.
As far as the state budget
in Columbus is concerned,
Faber used 2010 as a com-
parison.
We were losing 100,000
jobs a year. Unemployment
in Van Wert County was 10.8
percent. The state was look-
ing at a half-billion dollar
budget. A half-billion. Thats
a lot of money even by gov-
ernment standards. The other
guy running for governor at
that time wouldnt tell how
he was going to x it. We all
knew how he was going to x
it. He was going to raise tax-
es. Thats the way he always
tried to x it, and frankly,
thats the way the legislature
always tried to x it, he ad-
mitted. This time we elected
a guy named John Kasich.
You gave the House back to
Republicans and you elected
my colleagues in the Sen-
ate with the largest margin
since One Man, One Vote.
And Ohioans said, Fix it.
Fix it. And we did. We didnt
go down the old path of tax
more, spend more. We did
the opposite. An $8.5 billion
budget hole was closed by
cuts. By hard decisions.
Faber speaks to local Republicans

new playground equipment at Waterworks Park Friday. The group
will put the nishing touches on the project Saturday. This is

MARIETTA Melvin Eu-
gene Hoover, 77, of Marietta
passed away Thursday at Mari-
etta Memorial Hospital.
He was born Dec. 12, 1936,
in Allen County to Howard and
Ola Levina Hoover, who pre-
ceded him in death.
He grew up with a depres-
sion era work ethic that served
him well in jobs from a young
age, leading him to attend Ohio Wesleyan and move on to his
beloved Ohio State University where he met and proposed to
the love of his life, Valentine Dimitrijevs.
Mel graduated from the Ohio State University in 1959 with
a degree in chemical engineering.
Mel settled in southeastern Ohio, where he worked for Mar-
bon then Borg Warner Chemical starting on the line and mov-
ing up to retire as an associate technical director. Melvin felt
that part of raising a family was to give back to the community.
In his spare time, he volunteered locally teaching computer
science, working with retired senior volunteers in Parkersburg
and Marietta and working at the visitors center. He continued
to be active supporting the Republican Party and Marietta Col-
lege throughout his whole life. Even this level of activity was
not enough; Mel loved to paint and passed both this passion
and its products to family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his brothers, Benjamin Oliver
Hoover, Howard C. Hoover and Milton Woodrow Hoover; and
his sisters, Rosetta Louise Fair and Katherine White.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years Valentine; children
and spouses, Valerie and Scot Ransbottom, Alex and Synnove
Hoover, and Vera and Mark Street; and grandchildren, Brittany
and David Ransbottom, Halden and Gisselle Hoover, and Mar-
cus Street; as well as many nieces and nephews.
A viewing will be held from 6-8 p.m. Monday. Services
will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Hadley Funeral Home
Reno Chapel, 1021 Pike St. with the Rev. Hubbard and Fa-
ther Mark ofciating. Burial to follow in East Lawn Memo-
rial Park.
In lieu of owers, please donate in his name to the American
Heart Association.

Putnam Railfans offer open
house at Fort Jennings Depot
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
FORT JENNINGS
Throughout the United States
you can travel and visit exhib-
its and museums featuring the
historical relevance of train
travel to the construction of
our nation. However, from 1-4
p.m. Sunday, all area residents
need to do is make a short
drive to a little farm outside
of Fort Jennings. Here visitors
will nd a restored train sta-
tion lled with railroad mem-
orabilia and history.
A model train display runs
seven trains simultaneously
with operating, interactive
displays for young (or old)
visitors. You can take a ride
on a handcar or enjoy a relax-
ing ride along the half-mile
of miniature track that winds
around the perimeter of the
property. This display is the
collective work of the Putnam
Association of Railfans, who
have helped assemble and
man the exhibit.
For the last ve years, the
group has offered an annual
open house in October where
the public is invited, free of
charge, to enjoy a little bit
of railroad history, and, over
that time, 1,300 people have
toured the depot display.
The Fort Jennings Depot
Exhibit began as the dream of
Dr. Wesley Klir, and his late
father, Joe, in 2005. The train
depot was originally con-
structed in 1917 to service the
New York, Chicago and St.
Louis Railroad (better known
as the Nickel Plate Road). It
was later moved to a private
residence and fell into severe
disrepair.
Over three years, the depot
was completely dismantled
board by board, moved, and
rebuilt in a eld to the north of
Dr. Klirs residence.
The exhibit has continued
to grow, Klir said, comment-
ing on the exterior additions of
full size track with an operat-
ing handcar, a 1920s wooden
caboose, a signal shed, and
now the miniature riding train
along with further develop-
ment of the indoor model train
displays.
We are really pleased to
offer something for everyone
here. History and fun do not
have to be exclusive of each
other! Klir noted. Half of
our visitors are under the age
of 10 years-old and many of
those children have never seen
a real steam train or ridden
a train of any kind. Yet its
clear that trains and the rail-
road have the ability to capti-
vate these young minds. That
makes everything that we do
here worthwhile.
The Fort Jennings Depot
Exhibit is free to the public
and is located at 15153 Rd. 22-
K, Cloverdale about one mile
north of St. Rt. 224, about
halfway between Ottoville
and Kalida.
Fort Jennings train depot will have an open house
1-4 p.m. Sunday. (Submitted photo)

Friendship Link founder dies
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS News has reached Delphos of the passing of
Klaus Hoersting, who signed the agreement for the Friendship
Link between Delphos and Verl, Germany, in March 1999.
Chuck and Maryalice Davies, who hosted the Hoerstings in
1999, received the notication of Hoerstings death on Sept. 30.
Maryalice shared memories of his visit to Delphos and their
subsequent visit to the Hoersting home in Germany in 2000.
Klaus was a fun person to be around. When we visited
them in Germany, every morning, Klaus would get up early
and go to the bakery and get the big German hard rolls, Mary-
alice said. They were delicious and his wife, Jutta, was an
excellent cook.
Hoersting is hailed in Verl as its rst mayor and served as
such for ve years. Prior to that, he spent 14 years as a parish
director in the former municipality. He is survived by his wife,
Jutta, and daughters Stephanie and Karolin.
To send a short note, postcard or letter to his wife, write to:
Jutta Hoersting
Haferkamp 89a

Im sure Jutta and her children will appreciate kind words
from Verls sister city, Maryalice added.

Van Wert High School students
receive free vehicle inspections
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
VAN WERT Van Wert High
School invited AAAs automotive tech-
nicians to inspect students vehicles,
to make sure theyre ready for winter.
During the event, which took place
Tuesday during student lunch periods,
AAA inspected 50 vehicles. Thirty-
four of these vehicles had at least one
fault.
Proper vehicle maintenance goes
hand-in-hand with safety, as it can help
reduce the risk of crashes and roadside
breakdowns. This past winter, AAA
experienced a record number of road-
side assistance calls. Experts estimate
that 40-50 percent of these calls could
have been prevented with routine main-
tenance.
Vehicle maintenance inspections are
aimed at keeping drivers safe and on-
the-go. During each inspection, AAA
technicians identify potential problems
with students vehicle belts, hoses,
tires, lights, uid levels and batteries.
Then, technicians discuss any detected
problems with the student and provide
an inspection sheet to take home to par-
ents.
Those who participate in the vehicle
maintenance inspections will receive a
free lunch and teen driver safety col-
lateral.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, October 11 & Sunday, October 12, 2014 5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
In the U.S., we sometimes for-
get Americas unique place in the
world. For instance, vote after vote,
election after election, Americans
expect a peaceful transfer of power
after the last ballot is tallied. Sure,
there may be the occasional lawsuit
and recount, but only four times in
history have assassinations succeed-
ed against a sitting President in the
United States.
That is not the situation in many
other parts of the world.
Anwar Sadat was a second lieu-
tenant in the Signal Corps when he
was stationed in Sudan in 1938. He
was opposed to Egypt being a pro-
tectorate of the Great Britain and
soon joined with other junior ofcers
in a group called the Free Ofcers.
Their goal was to free Egypt and Su-
dan from British control and usher in
an era free from royal corruption. In
1952, the Free Ofcers launched a
military coup that began the Egyp-
tian Revolution. The movement
overthrew King Farouk and Sadat
was the voice of the revolution on the
radio, broadcasting the news to the
Egyptian people over the airwaves.
During the presidency of Gamal
Abdel Nasser, Sadat served the gov-
ernment under several roles. At dif-
ferent times he was the Minister of
State, the Secretary to the National
Union, the editor of the state-run
newspaper, and twice served as the
vice president. He rose to the presi-
dency after Nassers death in 1970.
But he achieved the role because
most of the Nasser supporters saw
him as a puppet of the former presi-
dent. They assumed they would be
able to manipulate Sadat while they
decided for themselves who would
become the long-term president.
Sadat surprised them all, however,
by proving immediately he was his
own man. He began by purging the
Egyptian government and security
organizations of all Nasser supporters
under a program he called the Cor-
rective Revolution. He encouraged
the rise of an Islamist movement, a
move Nasser had resisted, because
he saw the Islamists as conservatives
he could count on for political sup-
port. Finally, he dismissed his vice
president who had strong ties to the
Soviet Union and the head of the se-
cret police whose actions against the
Egyptian people were draconian.
This made his popularity among the
people dramatically increase.
He also revealed his ideal for
peace by endorsing the proposals
from a United Nations negotiating
team that called for peace with Israel
as long as they withdrew to the pre-
War of Attrition borders. Unfortu-
nately, neither Israel nor the United
States ratied the agreement and it
did not stand.
But Sadat also proved willing to
ght for Egyptian causes. In 1973,
along with the Syrian government,
he began the Yom Kippur War, a
surprise attack against Israeli forces
in the Sinai Peninsula and the Go-
lan Heights that attempted to retake
ground lost in the Six Day War a few
years earlier. Surprising early mili-
tary success shocked the world and
Israel. Although Egypt and Syria
eventually lost to Israel, Sadat was
widely hailed in the Arab countries
because of the military wins.
Sadats progressive moves be-
came his biggest achievements and
the keys to his later assassination.
In November of 1977, Sadat became
the rst Arab leader to visit Israel
ofcially when he met with Israeli
Prime Minister Menachem Begin,
delivering a speech to the parliament
on how he believed peace between
the two countries could be achieved.
This act started the peace process
that ended with the Camp David Ac-
cords, brokered by U.S. President
Jimmy Carter in 1978. Sadat and
Begin were awarded Nobel Peace
Prizes for their efforts the next year.
The peace with Israel was not
accepted in the Arab world and a
festering hatred for Sadat began to
boil. By 1981, following issues of
domestic upheaval, Sadat ordered
the roundup of all Jihad members
in Egypt and also intellectuals of all
faiths. His administration missed a
Jihad cell within the army, however.
On October 6, Sadat was presid-
ing over the annual parade to cel-
ebrate the Egyptian forces crossing
of the Suez Canal. A lieutenant and
member of the Jihad emptied his
rie into the stands as he passed in
review, killing eleven including the
Cuban ambassador, and wounding
28 others. Sadat was killed instantly.
Vice President Hosni Mubarak be-
came president and he ruled Egypt until
2011 when he resigned following the
Egyptian Revolution as a part of the
Arab Spring. Mubarak was eventually
found guilty of trying to squash protest-
ers and was killed following a trial - a
continuation of the violence that marks
the change of power in Egypt.
Here now is a reprint of the Oc-
tober 6, 1981, Times-Bulletin article
detailing what little information was
known about Sadats shooting earlier
in the day.
Egypt-Israel peace brings Sadat Nobel Prize and assassins bullet
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - President
Anwar Sadat was assassinated to-
day by men in army uniforms who
opened re on him during a mili-
tary parade, presidential adviser
Mansour Hassan announced.
In Washington, Majority Leader
Howard Baker told the U.S. Senate
that Vice President Bush told him
Sadat died of his wounds, but the
White House said the information
was based on preliminary reports
and might be wrong.
Other reports of Sadats death
were widespread, but there was
no ofcial announcement form the
Egyptian government.
Anti-riot police were deployed
in Cairo, which was normal for an
attack on a president, but there were
no troop movements, the state radio
played light music and Egypts am-
bassador in the United States said
the gunre was not part of a coup
attempt.
A Foreign Ministry ofcial, who
declined to be named, said Sadat
was hit in the arm in the attack,
which occurred during a jet ghter
yby and sent thousands of spec-
tators eeing in panic. But David
Gergen, a White House spokesman
in Washington, said Sadat was hit
twice in the side.
The Egyptian government said
Sadat underwent surgery but did
not immediately issue a report on
the outcome.
Egypts ambassador to Wash-
ington, Ashraf Ghorbal, said he
was told by his government three of
the attackers were killed and three
were captured alive, but that it was
not an attempted coup.
He said the vice president and
defense minister were slightly
wounded, and that the vice presi-
dent was heading a cabinet session
to deal with the attack.
The State Department said a
U.S. Marine major, an Army lieu-
tenant colonel and an Air Force
captain also were hit but only
slightly wounded, including the
Belgian ambassador and rst secre-
tary of the Australian Embassy.
Cairo Radio gave this account of
the attack initially:
At 1240 this afternoon - 6:40
a.m. EDT - during the military pa-
rade, a group of people red at the
main grandstand which resulted in
the injury of the president of the re-
public, and some of those accompa-
nying him. His excellency has been
moved to where he is being treated
by specialists. The vice president of
the republic is personally following
up on what procedures the doctors
are taking.
Sadat was evacuated by heli-
copter and taken to Maadj military
hospital.
Defense Minister Abdel Halim
Abu Ghazalla and Vice President
Hosni Mubarak, who was on the
other side of Sadat in the reviewing
stand, were unharmed, Egyptian
ofcials said. First reports said the
defense minister was wounded dur-
ing the shooting.
AP reporter Lisette Balouney
saw an armored personnel car-
rier pull up in front of Sadats
home in Giza, a suburb about four
miles from the center of Cairo, af-
ter the attack. She said the walled
residence was ringed with special
presidential guards, all armed with
automatic weapons.
Security guards at the gate said
Sadats wife, Jihan, had returned to
the residence from the parade in a
helicopter, picked up other family
members and left again in the he-
licopter.
Sadat took over after the death
of Gamel Abdel Nasser in 1970.
Within three years he crushed one
internal revolt against him, ex-
pelled 15,000 Soviet advisers and
started turning Egypts orientation
from the Soviet Union to the United
States.

25 Years Ago
This week in 1989, the
Washington Post reported
the Bush administration was
preparing for covert action in
Panama to grab Gen. Manuel
Noriega but stopped all plans
when a coup zzled. The
Panama Defense Forces had
refused U.S. requests to turn
over Noriega to face drug
charges in America. Noriega
had also rigged the May elec-
tions in Panama, having been
caught when his troops at-
tempted to switch the ballot
boxes after the votes had been
tallied. Noriegas response
was to have the winner beaten
in the streets by soldiers and
then he named a friend as
acting president.
Third graders at Frank-
lin Elementary School, Craig
Myers and Aaron Odenweller,
displayed the robots they
made for reading class. Craig
won rst place for Freddy
and Aaron also won rst place
for Spike. The students of Pat

ject using their imaginations.
Craig is the son of Dan and

50 Years Ago
This week in 1964, the
rst multiple-astronaut space-
ship returned its crew safely
to the ground. Three Soviet
cosmonauts completed 16 or-
bits around the earth in a little
more than 24 hours, during
which time the doctor, engi-
neer, and scientist conducted
observations while in outer
space.
The Landeck Altar Rosary
Society was presented a large
American Flag at its meeting.
It was donated by the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Spencerville
VFW and was presented by
Anna Perrin. President Estella
Schwinnen reminded mem-
bers that the annual clothing
drive would be held in No-
vember with used clothing to
be brought to the church base-
ment.
The owner of the Van Wert
city building threatened to
break his lease with the city,
claiming proper maintenance
had not been performed as pre-
scribed by the contract. Owner
Roy Stripe said the city build-
ing and police station had not
been painted in six years and
that 17 months prior, he had re-
ceived a verbal agreement that
new paint would be applied but
the new administration had not
yet followed through with the
agreement. However, a new
roof had been put on the city
building and the sidewalks had
been repaired in the previous
year.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, Adolf
Hitler repeated his proposals
for peace in Europe, but then
followed them with a promise
of terrible war if they were not
accepted as written, including
the retention of all captured
grounds in Poland and other
areas. French Premier Ed-
ouard Daladiers radio speech
denouncing the ultimatum
and promising to ght until
security was guaranteed cou-
pled with the continued block-
ade of German food and sup-
ply routes led many to surmise
that war was inevitable.
What Are You Worth?
was the theme of an address
by Dr. Barnard M. Dorfman,
rabbi of Jewish synagogues
in Lima and Cleveland, at a
meeting of the Delphos Ki-
wanis Club at the Beckman
Hotel. The ladies had been
invited to attend and a num-
ber of other guests were also
present. A delicious chicken
dinner was served by Kiwan-
ian Billie Irick.
Hundreds of people were
expected to attend the open
house at the new Van Wert
Armory. The rst part in the
dedication program for the
Armory, a program featuring
Gov. John W. Bricker and Ad-
jutant General Gilson D. Light
were expected to be the high-
light of the event and prom-
ised to pack the drill hall. An
afternoon concert by the Van
Wert High School band was
also expected to take place.

BY THE DELPHOS CANAL
COMMISSION
She was born in the middle of the
19th century, the creation of a builder
whose engineering skills likely con-
sisted mostly of knowing how to use
a hammer and a saw. Christened the
Marguerite, this simple, wooden ca-
nal boat spent her life gliding through
western Ohio on the waters of the Mi-
ami and Erie Canal. She carried pas-
sengers and cargo from village to vil-
lage, and sometimes to the big cities
of Cincinnati and Toledo at the gentle
speed of four miles per hour. Through
her efforts, the wilderness of western
Ohio was slowly being replaced by
farms and roads and growing commu-
nities.
As the years passed, her voyages be-
came less frequent and the number of
fellow boats on the canals placid wa-
ters slowly decreased. The Marguerite
and the canal were being replaced by
steel and steam. A web of railroads was
quickly covering Ohio, ironically being
supplied with rails and steam engines
by the very canal boats they were re-
placing.
Her trips on the canal were reduced
to local cargo hauling and pleasure
trips. In 1913, a disastrous rain storm
inundated Ohio, covering much of the
state with destructive ood waters. In
an effort to reduce the damage, inte-
gral parts of the Miami and Erie Ca-
nal, mainly locks and aqueducts, were
destroyed, often totally obliterated by
dynamite. The destruction hemmed in
the Marguerite, limiting her range to
only a few miles in each direction from
Delphos.
Finally, only a few years after the
disastrous ood, lift and swing bridges
over the canal, old and difcult to oper-
ate, were permanently closed. The Mar-
guerite was trapped. The old lady of the
canal was moored between First Street
and the Pennsylvania Railroad and left
to her fate. She became a playground for
local children, a good shing spot, and
a temporary home for transients pass-
ing through Delphos. Lack of mainte-
nance eventually sent the old gal to the
bottom of the canal and a subsequent
re reduced her to a charred hull barely
peeking above the waterline. Lost and
forgotten, her old bones settled into the
soft mud of the canal bottom and were
slowly covered by silt.
A dinner held on the Marguerite likely after she became a pleasure
boat in the early 1900s. (Submitted photo)

history
I must say my short visit
with my sister and her family
exceeded my expectations.
The ight there was routine
and I only thought we were all
going to die once! Ha-ha-ha.
Just a little turbulence.
My sister and her husband
were waiting for us in the air-
port with my mothers checked
bag so we were whisked (not
really, Ill explain later) into
the car and off to the much-
talked-about Taco Mac where
we noshed on chicken wings
and strips and fries before
heading to their home. I got to
see my sister and brother-in-
laws names on plaques not-
ing they had their bachelors
degrees in beer tasting. Hey,
everyone has to be famous for
something!
While we were unload-
ing our luggage from the car,
B-I-L Bob got my attention
so I could see the two deer in
the neighbors yard across the
street. They were magnicent.
He said they see them a lot in
the late evening.
Thursday dawned sunny
and warm and after a light
breakfast, I headed to the craft
room with my sister to make a
special surprise for Cameron.
Mums the word until it ar-
rives in Toledo!
Then I started on Christmas
ornaments for Jay and Ringo.
I nished them Saturday af-
ternoon after only worrying
about getting an aneurysm
once or twice while trying to
separate the sticky paper from
the backing. At one point I
told my sister I was going to
need something stronger than
ice water to nish the task and
headed upstairs for a smoke
and a Pepsi. Yes, I said Pepsi!
My B-I-L Bob is awesome!
The ornaments turned out
better than I ever imagined
because I am decient in the
craftiness department and I
was proud to show them off
when I got home.
Friday was dark, dreary and
rainy a perfect day for the
aquarium! I got my rst real
taste of what its like to drive
in rush hour trafc in, near,
and around Atlanta. Im fa-
miliar with the HOV lane but
quite often, it would turn into
the Peach Pass lane. Appar-
ently you can drive in this lane,
even by yourself, as long as you
have a Peach Pass. Signs would
give information on how much
it was to drive from Exit A to
Exit B, etc. I noticed that if it
was peak rush hour time, it was
a pretty penny to travel in that
lane. Often it was $4 or $5 for
a certain distance. On Sunday,
while driving to the airport, it
was ve cents for the same trav-
el privileges.
I decided I could never live
and work in Atlanta because
I would spend my entire sal-
ary paying off my Peach Pass
account every month because
the alternative was just too
ghastly to imagine. It was
wall-to-wall, bumper-to-bum-
per trafc for miles and miles.
Heaven forbid there was an
accident even though my B-
I-L said, in his experience,
Atlanta was fastest at cleaning
up accidents and getting ev-
eryone back on their way.
HAND/A7
It may be that some like to
have inside information or like
to be seen as too smart to be
fooled like the masses. It may
be that a few folks are just con-
trarians and like to argue. But
there are plenty of folks who
fall into the habit of buying into
conspiracy theories.
I mean, weve all heard
about the crazy ideas that
people believe and argue for.
Maybe its that Paul McCart-
ney is dead and has been dead
since his Beatle days. Some
believe that Elvis Presley is
working at a Piggly Wiggly
store in the south, bagging
groceries, and was seen at an-
other time at a burger joint in
Kalamazoo, Michigan. (Never
mind the fact that he would
turn 80 in January 2015, mak-
ing him a rather elderly gro-
cery bag-boy.)
Some are convinced that
Princess Diana was killed
in an accident that was en-
gineered by the Queen of
England. Some people deny
that during World War II, the
Nazis exterminated some six
million Jews in an attempt to
eliminate all of those people.
If you look through lists of
conspiracy theories, the sup-
posed plots get more and more
ridiculous.
One of the most hurtful con-
spiracy theories is the assertion
that the school shooting at San-
dy Hook Elementary School in
Newtown, Connecticut was a
fraud. Twenty-six people lost
their lives that day, not counting
the shooter and his mother, and
20 of those were elementary
school children.
Since that day, almost two
years ago, self-proclaimed ex-
perts have claimed the whole
thing was staged as a gun con-
trol argument or a plot to garner
sympathy and donations. They
claim all those people weve
seen on television, heard on
the radio, or read proles of in
print were actually paid actors.
Like it was all a big town-
wide school play. Because of
their efforts, parents who lost
children and other loved ones
have had to defend the fact
they actually did lose their
loved ones. How incredibly
painful that must be.
This week, I had the plea-
sure to meet Maureen Will,
the lady who headed emergen-
cy operations in Newtown on
that fateful day, Dec. 14, 2012.
She was in town to talk with
emergency services folks, and
to tell her story in an effort to
help locals plan for any pos-
sible emergency. I asked her
what it is like to go through
such an experience and have
an outsider come in and claim
that you really didnt do all of
that work. She looked at me
and uttered the truth. The ab-
solute truth.
She told me, People are
going to believe what they
want. I know what happened.
All of us know what hap-
pened, but I cant make them
believe me. She said that
often people will call asking
questions, and that they have a
line with a voicemail set up to
take questions and messages
so that an ofcer can call them
back. They dont try to argue
with them. They treat them
with respect.
She did admit that the
911 workers are tempted to
re back at the conspiracy
theorists, but they dont. I re-
minded her that one day as-
tronaut Buzz Aldrin was be-
ing harassed by a rather rude
conspiracy theorist, and Buzz
hauled off and socked him in
the nose. She smiled. Then
she resumed reminding me
that people will believe what
they want to believe, no matter
who gets hurt in the process.
Why believe a conspiracy
theory? I think much of it is a
part of the grief process. We
cant believe that Elvis Pre-
sley has died, so we deny it,
maybe making up a fanciful
story to assure ourselves that
he is still alive, that JFK was
killed by the government, that
the contrails of airplanes are
an attempt to poison us, that
prescription drug-makers are
withholding cures in order
to keep people sick, that the
president knew in advance
that Pearl Harbor was going
to be bombed or that terrorists
were going to attach the World
Trade Center.

To the editor:
Have you heard of Common Core? Do
you want to know more about it, or about
the efforts to repeal it in Ohio? Do you
want to do something about it, but just
dont know what?
This coming Monday, Oct. 13, Ohios
4th District State Representative Matt
Huffman will be in Van Wert to speak
about HB 597. Rep. Huffman is a co-
sponsor of HB 597, which aims at repeal-
ing Common Core in Ohio. His presenta-
tion on Monday will focus on the features
of HB 597, as well the progress being
made to pass it.
Rep. Huffmans presentation will take
place at the Heart Land Patriots meeting
on Monday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. The meet-
ing will be held in the Fireside Room in
the Family Life Center of Trinity Friends
Church, 605 N. Franklin St. The public is
invited and encouraged to attend.
A lot of people are expressing their
dissatisfaction and anger with Common
Core. I urge you to consider attending
this meeting and hearing Rep. Huffman
tell us what we as the general public can
do to help this cause in Ohio.

To the editor,
Over the last twenty years Ive been
very fortunate to have worked with a
number of outstanding public servants.
One of those is Justice Judi French and
I would like to strongly urge Van Wert
county voters to return Justice French to
the Ohio Supreme Court this election.
Ive worked side-by-side with Justice
French several times and I am proud to
call her my friend. She is thoughtful, car-
ing, and one of the most dedicated and
experienced jurists Ive ever met. She
has a remarkable and inspiring ability to
carefully review all sides of a case, and
make the tough decisions that apply the
law fairly. She doesnt legislate from the
bench.
Justice French is incredibly smart and
one of the hardest working individuals
Ive ever met. She wrote more than 800
legal opinions in her eight years as an ap-
pellate judge and argued and won in front
of the United States Supreme Court.
As you ll out your ballot this year,
please make sure you ll in the box to
return Justice Judi French to the Ohio Su-
preme Court.
Sincerely,
Angela Snyder
Formerly of Ohio City, Ohio

That sound you heard earlier this week was the thud of an-
other shoe dropping in response to Obamacare.
Last year as the roll out for the Affordable Care Act (Obam-
acare) was ramping up to full implementation, the Obama
administration needed to push back the deadlines on several
portions of the health care law. A variety of reasons for the
delays ranged from the federal government not being prepared
to handle its portion to hardships that would need to be endured
by individuals and small businesses.
One portion of the law that was delayed by President Obama
was the section dealing with non-compliant policies. Most of
these policies were considered out of compliance with the
ACA because they did not meet the required amount or level of
coverage. These possible cancellations also ew in the face of
President Obamas speech to the American Medical Associa-
tion in 2009 when he promised, If you like your doctor, you
will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health
care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Pe-
riod. No one will take it away.
When it became obvious these deciencies were going to
cause between ve to six million additional people to lose their
coverage and force them to access new insurance through the
wildly inadequate ACA website, President Obama announced
the federal government would not prosecute the states and in-
surers that did not enforce the law as written (another topic for
another day). He proposed a three-year extension.
Many states decided to follow the law despite the Presi-
dents urgings. But earlier this week that extension came to a
screeching halt for the others as it was reported 13 states and
the District of Columbia would all be forcing policy compli-
ance at the end of this year, canceling as many as one million
people out of their current policies. Because the ACA requires
a 60-day notice for policy cancellation, these people will all
be receiving their notication before November 1 - only days
before the mid-term elections.
Added on top of this political clunker was the announce-
ment on Thursday that Walmart - one of the largest corpora-
tions who came out in favor of the ACA - would be dropping
health insurance coverage for another 30,000 of their part-time
workers across the country. Their reason for the cuts was the
failure of the ACA to control health care insurance costs - the
main reason they had been in favor of the legislation previous-
ly. This mirrors moves made in the past year by Target, Home
Depot, and the United Parcel Service among others.
The most devastating problem with these part-time workers
being hit with health care insurance coverage is that these are
the people the ACA was designed to help the most, the low-
earning workers who can least afford the insurance premiums
on the open market.
There is no doubt the ACA has helped tens of thousands
of Americans who wanted coverage but could not purchase it
previously. However, Obamacare has achieved that goal not by
raising up those at the bottom end of the scale but by bringing
down those who once had coverage and doctors they liked. The
moves this week are just the beginning of the rest of the impli-
cations of the ACA as delays on other deadlines such as proof
of insurance will be running out soon. That is when the country
- and the economy - will nd out the nal bill for Obamacare.

opin
Voltaire warned us in 1764
when he said, In general, the
art of government consists of
taking as much money as pos-
sible from one party of the
citizens to give to the other.
We will be heading to the
polls in just a few weeks (Nov.
4) and the wisdom of Maxine,
of Shoebox Greetings fame,
has never been more true
when she said, Voting is like
choosing your favorite mos-
quito out of a swarm.
A number of public opin-
ion polls have shown that a
majority of Americans have
lost condence in our govern-
ment and question the compe-
tence of the senior leadership
in most government agencies.
Take the Internal Revenue
Service, Veterans Adminis-
tration, Secret Service, Social
Security, Medicare-Medicaid,
and Obamacare for example.
We all know the world has
gotten a lot more complicated
in the last decade, or two.
People have looked to our
federal government for the
answers, and frankly, most
of the problems facing us to-
day dont have easy, simple
answers. Therefore, problems
are passed on from one ad-
ministration to the next.
In any case, here are ve
statements we need to remem-
ber as we elect new representa-
tives to state and federal ofces.
1. You cannot legislate the
poor into prosperity by legis-
lating the wealthy out of pros-
perity.
2. What one person re-
ceives without working for,
another person must work for
without receiving.
3. The government cannot
give to anybody anything that
the government does not rst
take from somebody else.
4. When half of the people
get the idea that they do not
have to work because the oth-
er half is going to take care of
them, and when the other half
gets the idea that it does no
good to work because some-
body else is going to get what
they work for, that my friends
is the end of any nation.
5. You cannot multiply
wealth by dividing it.
*******
With another election cy-
cle in play, it is a good time
to revisit our dysfunctional
campaign nancing system.
Attempts to x the problems
dont seem to work. Those
folks in a position to make
changes for the good of the
people wont because they
benet from the mess.
Opponents of limiting
campaign contributions say it
violates the First Amendment.
Supreme Court Chief Justice
John Roberts defended the
decision by saying it is not
the role of the government to
level the playing eld. Then,
whose role is it?
Electing our leaders has
always been the product of an
unsavory process. Campaign-
ing is a dirty business. Power
is at stake and winning is the
only acceptable outcome. No
matter what the laws and rules
are, the people who live and
breathe the game will always
nd ways to funnel money
to their favorite candidate or
cause.
Maybe the amount of mon-
ey spent in a campaign season
wouldnt offend us so much
if political ads were required
to be true, accurate and posi-
tive. Attack ads often make
us squeamish and feeling in-
sulted.
The Supreme Court re-
cently voted 5-4 to lift restric-
tions on the amount of money
individuals can contribute to
federal campaigns. The Mc-
Cutcheon v. FEC decision was
an attempt to rein in out-of-
control costs of campaigns.
Something doesnt seem
right when billionaires like
the Koch brothers, George
Soros, Tom Perkins, Shel-
don Adelson (just to name a
few), plus all the political ac-
tion committees and unions,
can use their vast resources
to inuence (attempt to buy)
the representatives of govern-
ment, and to affect the course
of democracy.
Two years ago, the cam-
paigns of Mitt Romney and
Barack Obama cost $7 billion,
according to the Federal Elec-
tion Commission. When the
Top .5 percent of Americans
have over 90 percent of the
wealth, the election process
loses its balance and fairness.
Our frustration with gov-
ernment is as old as time. Fol-
lowing are a few memorable
thoughts expressed by well-
known people. These unfor-
tunate truths apply to periods
ruled by both republicans and
democrats.
1. A government which
robs Peter to pay Paul can
always depend on the support
of Paul.
George Bernard Shaw
2. A liberal is someone who
feels a great debt to his fellow
man, which debt he proposes
to pay off with your money.
G. Gordon Liddy
3. Democracy must be
something more than two
wolves and a sheep voting on
what to have for dinner.
James Bovard
4. Foreign aid might be
dened as a transfer of mon-
ey from poor people in rich
countries to rich people in
poor countries.
Douglas Case
5. The inherent vice of cap-
italism is the unequal sharing
of the blessings. The inherent
blessing of socialism is the
equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
6. A government big
enough to give you everything
you want, is strong enough to
take everything you have.
Thomas Jefferson
As the leaves begin to change and the
weather cools, we know that the holiday sea-
son is soon upon us. But before we ll our
stomachs with turkey and start shopping for
gifts, we cannot forget to ful-
ll our civic duty that comes
with Election Day, this year
falling on Nov. 4.
This holiday comes thanks
to sacrices from our military
men and women, who fought
and continue to ght to pre-
serve our freedoms. Without
their sacrices, we might not
have the representative de-
mocracy that has lasted us
over 227 years. When you cast our ballot at the
polls this year, I hope that you remember the
individuals that gave up so much, sometimes
even laying down their lives, so that democ-
racy could prevail. Due to the sacrices of our
veterans, we continue to have the right to cast
our vote on each Election Day and freely sup-
port the candidates that best share our views.
The Secretary of States ofce has a program
titled the Vote in Honor of a Veteran Program
that lets you recognize a specic veteran. The
program is intended to highlight the bond be-
tween our veterans and democracy, as well as
serve as another reminder of the thanks we owe
those serving in the armed services.
Through the Vote in Honor
of a Veteran Program, you can
submit a form either online or
in paper version to the Secre-
tary of States ofce and choose
a veteran that you would like to
honor by writing a testimonial.
Your testimonial will be posted
on the Secretary of States web-
site, and you will be sent a Vote
in Honor of a Veteran lapel pin
to wear to the polls. I hope you
take the time to share the story of a friend,
family member, or loved one and the sacrice
they made to preserve our right to vote.

When people tell me Im a
hero I dont think Ive done
anything heroic, said Kathy
Jeffries.
October is Breast Cancer
Awareness month. A few Oc-
tobers ago, Jeffries found a
lump. She had a mammogram
and ultrasound done, nding
a uid-lled cyst. The radi-
ologist said they could give it
six months and then see how
it goes.
I didnt know what to do, I
was nervous, scared. Ive nev-
er been sick. Ever. Nothing
I asked the doctor if it was his
wife, would he have it aspi-
rated right away. He said yes.
Looking back, this whole ex-
perience is frustrating. I was
frustrated I had to put my life
in these peoples hands, trust-
ing him. He was factual. I was
being emotional.
One in a hundred cysts
have cancer, Jeffries said.
What did I do? Because Im so
fat? Because I drink? Jeffries
biggest fear now is having it
come back. There are so many
unanswered questions
Before cancer, Jeffries said,
I was a workaholic I am so
much more chilled out about
stuff. I used to get upset about
things, but its helping me take
a breath and say it really isnt
that urgent. But in a bad way
too, I feel my expiration date
has been altered. You know,
that bucket list. We were talk-
ing about building a house
before I got cancer.
Jeffries opted for a lumpec-
tomy. With chemo, she lost her
hair, her skin got so dry, and
her tongue was burned; she
had to watch her mouth for
sores.
I was feeling tired and
woozy. Upset to my stomach. I
had mild symptoms compared
to some people.
Though her symptoms
were mild compared to
some others, losing your
hair, thats what makes you a
woman. Having breasts, Jef-
fries said.
After her rst chemo treat-
ment, it took 14 days, and
all my hair was out. It started
coming out in clumps, in the
shower. I just went and got
it shaved. I started wearing
wigs, keeping my head cov-
ered. I had a hard time look-
ing at myself without hair. I
felt very ugly. I wouldnt look
when I had my hair off. Look-
ing in the mirror without hair
was a reminder that I was
sick.
Jeffries said, Im a care-
taker. Its the nature of who I
am. It was really hard to let
people take care of me. I felt
weak, completely incompe-
tent. I had to be okay with it.
Its still hard. I should be fo-
cusing on my health and not
worrying about little things.
I worry that people see me as
incompetent. I try to swallow
my pride and say, life is differ-
ent. Its okay to let people do
things for me.
As far as how this affected
her marriage, Jeffries said,
It brought us together closer
as a couple. Its completely
changed us. I had to let him
take care of me and be okay
with it. And he did a fabulous
job. It made our relationship
strongerbut there are strains
taking care of somebody
As far as friends are con-
cerned, Jeffries said, Some
stepped up, wanted to do
whatever they couldother
friends drifted away, didnt
want to talk about itI dont
want it to dene who I am,
though it affected more than
just my body. It affected my
relationships.
The biggest thing that
helped me was knowing Im
not alone, Jeffries said. To
someone who has just been di-
agnosed, Jeffries said, Dont
do it alone. Cancer sucks. I
dont want it to dene who I
am, but its part of my life. Get
checked every three months.
As far as gratitude goes,
Jeffries said, The gratitude
in my heart is overwhelming.
Everyone whos supported
me and helped meits over-
whelming. The love I feel I
want to try to pay it back. Im
trying to heal, my body, and
my head. I just want to try to
repay everyone whos helped
me. I dont know how, but I
want to try. Just, when you
hear the word cancer, when
its in your life, it changes your
life forever.

To the editor,
I recently had knee surgery.
During my rst day out on my
own, I had something I felt
was wonderful happen to me. I
drove myself to therapy and on
my way home I stopped at Taco
Bell to get something to eat. I
hobbled inside with my cane
because I did not want to eat in
my car.
I was getting out my money
to pay and a wonderful, kind
woman came up behind me and
told the cashier she wanted to
pay for my order.
I said, You dont have to do
this. I am not disabled. This is
temporary. I had knee surgery.
She said, I know I dont
have to do it but I can do it and I
want to do this for you. So she
paid for my food and left.
I was so touched by this
womans random act of kind-
ness, I wanted to share this with
all of Van Wert. I was in tears
of joy and thought this was a
good way to thank her and let
her know how good she made
me feel.
I only hope she reads the
Van Wert newspaper to see how
grateful I am for people like her.

The aquarium was awesome. I made sure
to get plenty of video for the shark-loving hus-
band and saw my otters! Two different kinds
of otters! Nothing is cuter than a pile of play-
ful otters. There were small ones and big ones
and I could have watched them for hours. Im
pretty sure one of the smaller ones would have
t in my carry-on.
We also enjoyed the dolphin show, took in
lunch and I conquered the gift shop like a pro.
We then walked a few hundred yards to The
World of Coke. Word to the wise: when you
get to the tasting room, bypass Beverly! She is
bad. Really bad. I should have know when the
dispenser didnt have any graphics on it, just
BEVERLY.
Dont forget to hug the Coco-Cola bear on
the way in. That job has to be a little crappy
and Im sure whomever is in that suit appreci-
ates a good hug now and then. Or, maybe not.
I dont care. I hugged it anyway.
Friday evening we had planned to take in
some Mexican food but we were all pooped
from our adventures and stopped to get a huge
chicken pot pie from a local grocery store in-
stead. It was very good and perfect comfort
food after a good day of adventure and bond-
ing. We spent the rest of the evening on the
veranda enjoying the weather, talking and just
hanging out together.
Saturdays family dinner was amazing. I
met my great-niece Kate and fell in love in-
stantly. She is a quirky, precocious and slightly
sneaky 10-year-old. Right up my alley. We
played Go Fish and Jenga (watch out, she
cheats and tries to take her turn before you if
she sees an easy one!) and just enjoyed each
others company immensely.
And then it was Sunday and time to come
home. I think I will begin plotting my next trip
to Atlanta soon very soon.

Conspiracy theories are a way for some
folks to cope. Now, of course, I do realize that
just because a person thinks everyone is out to
get him, it doesnt mean that somebody isnt
out to get him. Mostly beware of people bring-
ing you information you want to hear that oth-
ers are denying.
Its ne to question, but realize that others
may be hurt. Like those Connecticut families
who are often told their little boy didnt die, or
the hero who has to hear some goofball claim
you are lying about the heroic thing you claim
you did.
In short, think when you investigate, dont
pretend you know something you dont know,
and dont be the person others want to sock in
the nose.

Jefferson celebrates homecoming with shutout of Grove
BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Two teams with postseason
aspirations met at Stadium Park Friday night
as Jefferson hosted Northwest Conference foe
Columbus Grove.
In the latest OHSAA computer rankings,
the Bulldogs were ranked fth in Division VII,
Region 24, and the Wildcats are on the outside
looking in at 12th in Division VI, Region 20,
so this matchup was signicant on whos still
playing in week 11.
Jefferson started the season 4-0 but dropped
its last two games. Columbus Grove began the
year 3-0 and likewise hit the skids. Something
had to give, as one streak would end and keep
their team in the playoff hunt, while the other
team could see their hopes crippled.
The Bulldogs committed ve turnovers,
and were penalized seven times for 80 yards,
as the Wildcats got back on track with a 36-0
Homecoming victory.
Jefferson punted after an opening 3-and-
out, and Columbus Grove took over at the 23
and went into a hurry-up, spread offense. The
Bulldogs picked up two rst downs before a
fumble that was recovered by Dalton Hicks at
the Jefferson 44.
The Wildcats managed to pick up a rst
down with the running game but the drive
stalled as Elisha Jones sacked Jace Stockwell
for a huge loss.
The Bulldogs took over at their 19 and
quickly fumbled the pigskin back to Jefferson
on the second play of the series as Jordan Mc-
Cann smothered the ball at the 16. Three plays
later, Hunter Binkley scored on a 5-yard run
at the 3:10 mark and Kurt Wollenhaupts extra
point put the Wildcats on the scoreboard 7-0.
The Bulldogs picked up a pair of rst downs
before they committed their third turnover of
the rst quarter as Hicks jumped on the loose
ball at the Grove 49. Stockwell hit Mike Cline
on the run for a 24-yard completion and, two
plays later, Stockwells pass was picked off by
Eli Schroeder at the two to begin the second
quarter.
After a Bulldog punt gave the Wildcats
great eld position at the Grove 44, Jefferson
turned the ball back over as Logan Miller re-
covered a fumble at the 33. On the very next
play, however, quarterback Reid Stechschulte
lost the handle on the ball as it ew up in the
air. Brenen Auer caught it in mid-air and took
it in for a 29-yard touchdown with 7:43 re-
maining in the half.
The night of turnovers continued as Aaron
Parkins picked off a Stechschulte pass at the
34 and had reservations for six as he took it in
for the touchdown. The PAT by Wollenhaupt
was perfect as the Wildcats led 21-0 with 6:18
remaining before the half.
The teams traded punts to open the second
half before the Wildcats took over at the 35 on
their second possession. After a 9-yard run by
Adam Rode, Hunter Binkley appeared to be
stopped at the line of scrimmage but popped
out for a 30-yard pickup. A personal foul on
Columbus Grove pushed the ball to the 18,
and it took Jefferson only three more plays
to punch it in on a 6-yard touchdown run by
Cline. Wollenhaupt set up for the extra point
but took the direct snap instead and ran it in for
the 2-point conversion.
Jefferson put together a 9-play, 78-yard
drive to open the fourth quarter. Binkley began
to nd holes in the Grove defense and ripped
off a 29-yard run into Bulldog territory. Run-
ning by Cline, Binkley, Rode and a personal
foul moved the ball to the 17. Four plays later,
a quarterback sneak by Stockwell along with
Wollenhaupts extra point made the nal score
36-0.
Columbus Grove picked up 12 rst downs
in the contest, piling up 274 yards of total of-
fense. Stechschulte gained 121 yards rushing
on 14 attempts and was 6-of-27 passing for 124
yards.
Jefferson came in the game averaging near-
ly 380 yards of total offense. The Bulldogs
held them 118 yards below their average as the
Wildcats ground out 262 total yards, 238 com-
ing on the ground. The difference in the game
was the Jefferson defense and special teams.
Jefferson picked up 16 rst downs as Bin-
kley gained 113 yards on 20 rushing attempts.
Cline chipped in with 60 yards on 15 attempts.
Stockwell was efcient after missing the last
two weeks due to a serious injury, gaining 29
yards in the air on 1-of-2 attempts.
With the victory, Jefferson improves to 5-2
and will host Evergreen next Friday. Columbus
Grove drops below .500 at 3-4 and will face
Paulding.
Late blocked punt lifts
Ada past Crestview
BY CORT REYNOLDS
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
ADA Ada blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown
with 5:21 remaining, then held on to knock visiting Crestview
from the unbeaten ranks, 22-15, in a Northwest Conference
thriller on a chilly Friday night.
A low snap on fourth-and-17 led to the game-changing
block. After multiple players seemed to have the loose ball in
their grasp, Adas Jordan Bailey grabbed it out of a scrum and
scampered 25 yards to score the winning touchdown. A two-
point conversion pass put Ada in front by seven.
Raiders rally for late GMC win over Edgerton, 50-42
BY KEVIN WANNEMACHER
DHI Media Business Manager
kwannemacher@timesbulletin.

HAVILAND Edgerton did ev-
erything it wanted to do in the rst
half of Fridays Green Meadows
Conference football game at Raider
Field.
The Bulldogs dominated the line
of scrimmage on both sides of the
ball and the Edgerton offense was
clicking on all cylinders, totaling
272 yards and 13 rst downs in the
opening two quarters while posting
a 28-10 advantage.
However, it all changed in the
second half.
Wayne Trace answered with 24
third quarter points and rallied late
in the fourth quarter for a 50-42 vic-
tory over the visitors from Williams
County to stay tied atop the league
standings.
It was a tale of two halves and the
Raiders were fortunate to survive for
the win, moving to 6-1 overall and
4-0 in the league.
What a game, noted Raider
head coach Bill Speller. You have
to give Edgerton a lot of credit.
They came in here and played well.
They took it to us in the rst half but
our guys just never gave up and we
played with a lot of heart.
Edgerton controlled the open-
ing two quarters. The Bulldogs took
the opening kickoff and marched
73-yards in eight plays, nding the
scoring column on a 29-yard touch-
down pass from Duane Miller to
Alex Michael.
Wayne Trace would answer late
in the stanza as Tyler Showalter
scrambled 32-yards for a score to tie
the contest at 8-8 with 3:25 left in the
rst quarter.
The second quarter, though, was
all Edgerton.
On the ensuing possession after
the Raider score, the Bulldogs put
together an 11-play, 62-yard scoring
drive that encompassed 5:13 off the
clock.
Edgerton nally found the end
zone when Dallas King plunged
three yards for a touchdown at the
10:12 mark of the second quarter,
making it 16-8 Bulldogs.
While the Raider offense was un-
able to string together any drives, it
was the Wayne Trace defense that
would provide points.
After a 43-yard punt by Wayne
Traces Nick Glass put the Bulldogs
on their one-yard line, King was
stopped in the end zone for a safety
to get the Raiders within 16-10.
The Williams County squad
wasnt done though.
Edgerton would add a 22-yard
touchdown pass from Miller to Mi-
chael to push the margin to 22-10.
The Bulldogs would add another
score just before halftime. King ran
for a three-yard touchdown with 20.6
seconds remaining to widen the Edg-
erton lead to 28-10 at the intermis-
sion.
We didnt go in screaming or
yelling at halftime, Speller contin-
ued. We made a few adjustments
but they (Edgerton) really didnt do
anything that we didnt expect. We
changed some of our alignments up
front offensively and ran some rub
routes in the second half that seemed
to cause them some confusion.
The Raider offense nally clicked
in the second half.
After totaling only four rst
downs and 101 yards of total of-
fense in the rst two quarters, the
red-white-and-blue was much more
efcient in the third quarter.
Sparked by a 26-yard punt return
from Jake Dingus, Wayne Trace
started its second possession of the
second half at the Bulldog 49.
Tyler Showalter found Cole Shep-
herd for 11-yards which, coupled
with an Edgerton personal foul,
moved Wayne Trace to the 23.

Cougar defense strong, but
Bulldogs get better of WBL tilt
BY JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
CELINA The Van Wert defense
limited Celina to 229 total yards and
forced three turnovers, not to mention
stopping the Bulldogs on a pair of fourth
downs. Unfortunately, as good as the
Cougar defense was, Van Wert could get
very little going on offense and dropped
a 22-7 Western Buckeye League nal on
Friday night in Mercer County.
The problems for the Cougar of-
fense started early. After picking
up consecutive rst downs to open
the game. On then fourth play from
scrimmage, a bad snap wound up as
an 11-yard loss. On the next snap, a
Cougar fumble gave Celina the ball at
the Van Wert eight yard line.
It took three plays for Celina to
punch it in, as tailback Garrett Wing-
ett broke through with a 2-yard scor-
ing run. A missed extra point left the
Bulldog lead at 6-0.
Van Wert wasted little time in
striking back. After a holding call
pushed the Cougars back to their own
42, junior running back Justice Tus-
sing took a handoff up the middle and
danced through the Bulldog defense
before nally being dragged down at
the Celina eight yard line, giving the
Cougars a rst-and-goal.
Tussing tied the score with a 2-yard
run of his own, and Gavin Gardners
extra-point made it 7-6, Cougars, with
7:06 to play in the opening quarter.
That may have been the last offen-
sive highlight for the Cougars.
After the teams exchanged punts,
Celina drove deep into Cougar terri-
tory, and had a rst-and-goal at the
Van Wert three yard line.
A fumbled snap pushed Celina back
to the 12, but a completed pass from Ca-
leb Hoyng to Zack Marks had the Bull-
dogs back inside the ve. After Hoyng
failed to gain ground on a third-down
run, the Bulldogs tried a fake eld goal,
but Van Werts defense held and the
Cougars took over at their own two.

Tussing gained 112 yards on 20 carries and scored the Cougars
lone touchdown. (DHI Media/Jerry Mason)

Versailles pulls away from Parkway for 42-20 win
BY NICK JOHNSON
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
VERSAILLES The Parkway Panthers
travelled to H. B. Hole eld at Versailles High
School to take on the Tigers in week seven
Midwest Athletic football action on Friday
night. The Tigers picked up a 42-20 victory of
Parkway.
The Tigers wasted no time getting on the
score board as Jared Niekamp found Jace Bar-
ga on a 65 yard touchdown pass to open up the
scoring with 9:47 left in the rst quarter. A bad
hold by Barga on the point-after forced him to
throw up a pass to Collin Peters for the 2-point
conversion, 8-0 Versailles.
The Panthers got the offense working on
their second drive of the night, as Justin Barna
found Sage Dugan for an 8-yard gain to set up
fourth-and-one. Barna called his own number
and picked up four yards for the rst down. Af-
ter Barna misred on rst and second down,
the sophomore signal caller found a streaking
Ryan Lautzenheiser for a 67-yard touchdown
pass with 7:25 left in the rst quarter. Parkway
went for two to tie the game and Barna found
Kris Gangwer for the conversion.
The next Versailles drive started off differ-
ently as the Tigers fed Peters the ball for four
straight runs for a net of 16 yards. On a third-
and-three, Niekamp went to the air for his sec-
ond pass of the night this on a 40-yard comple-
tion for a touchdown to Corey Dieringer with
4:23 left in the rst period. Zach Steinbrunner
added the point-after to make the score 15-8.
On Parkway second drive of the second pe-
riod, Barna found Lautzenheiser for a 40-yard
pass and catch. The Tiger defense held strong
after that play and forced a punt.
Versailles Peters broke the century mark
on the ground with a 50-yard dash down the
eld with less than three minutes left in the
half. The Tigers found the end zone with just
16 second left in the period when Niekamp
found Kyle Marchal from 2-yards out for a
touchdown. Steinbrunner added the point after
and the score was 22-8 at half.
On the Tigers second drive of the third
quarter, Versailles got a 34-yard run from
Peters to put them in the red zone. Two plays
later, Niekamp was picked off in the end zone
by Lautzenheiser who return the ball across
mideld.
Parkway turn the interception into points
when on the next play, Barna scramble for 47
yards for the Panthers touchdown with 8:32
left in the third. The two-point try was unsuc-
cessful and Versailles had a 22-14 lead.
The Tigers answered with a eight-play, 56-
yard drive that featured seven Peters runs. The
last of those went for a 2-yard score, giving
Versailles a 29-14 lead after the extra point.
Parkway got a big play to end the third quar-
ter when Barna found Lautzenheiser deep for
a 30-yard hook up. The Panthers would later
turn the ball over, however, Versailles turn that
interception into points with an 18-yard run by
Peters for a touchdown.
One drive later the Tigers would add anoth-
er score when Andrew Schmitt carried the ball
for a 15-yard touchdown to bring the score to
42-14 with 5:44 left in the game.
The nal Parkway drive chewed up what
was left of the fourth quarter clock, and was
nished off with a Barna 1-yard touchdown to
bring the game to the nal score of 42-20.
Justin Barna, we put him back in the start-
ing quarterback spot and he did a good job.
Running the ball he did a good job, standing
there taking some hits, and delivering the ball
down eld. I thought offensively we kind of
woke up tonight. I know the score doesnt show
it, but I feel like it was a closer game. I thought
we were right in this game slugging away with
these guys, said Parkway coach Dan Cairns.
Bearcats dominant in 40-point rout
BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE Coaches love to im-
pose their will on their opponent, especially in
a physical sport like football.
Spencerville head coach John Zerbe did
just that with a 38-point second half to turn a
2-point halftime lead into a 60-20 Northwest
Conference rout of Bluffton on Friday night at
Memorial Field in Spencerville.
The Bearcats (7-0, 5-0 NWC) broke into the
scoring column rst on the second series of the
contest: a 16-play (all but one a run),
92-yard drive. At the Pirates one, An-
drew Emery bolted in off right guard
for the score. Logan Vandemarks ex-
tra point was wide for a 6-0 edge with
2:48 left in the rst.
After a 13-yard kickoff return by Clay Wil-
son set the visitors up at the 38, they scored in
two plays. From that spot, Mitchell Ault threw
to a wide-open Levi Kistler down the left seam
for a 62-yard scoring strike. Kaleb Jefferson
added the conversion for a 7-6 edge with 2:24
showing in the rst.
The Bearcats replied with another bullish
drive: 14 plays (13 rushes), 88 yards. At the Pi-
rate nine, Calvin Wilson burst in off left guard
to pay dirt. Mason Nourse found Wilson for
the 2-pointer and a 14-7 edge with 8:32 left in
the half.
After pinning Bluffton deep and
forcing a punt from the 12, Wilson
picked up Aults boot on one bounce
at the 47, tore off toward the right side-
line and found the wall to the pylon.
Emery ran in the 2-pointer for a 22-7 edge with
7:09 showing in the rst.
The Pirates answered with a 9-play,
75-yarder, including a pass interference call.
At the Bearcat two, Ault as always in the
shotgun went up the gut for the score. Jef-
ferson made it 22-14 lead with 3:28 showing.
After forcing Spencervilles only punt,
Bluffton closed the half with a 4-play, 57-yard-
er helped by another pass interference.
From the Bearcat 31, Ault again threw down
the left seam for Kistler with 31 ticks left.
However, the conversion run failed for a 22-20
halftime score.
The second half was all Bearcats, as the of-
fensive line (Cole Bellows, Evan Pugh, Wyatt
Krouskop, Evan Barnett and Elijah Hawk) took
over. After Keaton Lotzs 13-yard kick return
opened the half, the Bearcats went 67 yards in
six plays, all on the ground. At the Pirate 34,
Zach Goecke who went over 1,000 yards
rushing with a 227-yard performance took
the handoff off left guard and exploded down
the middle. McMichael ran in the 2-pointer for
a 30-20 lead with 9:47 left in the third.
Set up by an Ault 17-yard shank punt,
Spencerville only needed to go 25 yards in
two plays. At the 21, Emery swept right end
and keyed by the kickout block of Hawk, was
virtually untouched to the pylon. McMichael
again ran in the conversion for a 38-20 edge
with 6:56 left in the quarter.
Spencervilles third drive started at its 15,
and Goecke was all that was needed: he burst
up the gut and was virtually untouched as he
outran the defense to the end zone. Nourse
found Corso for the 2-pointer and a 46-20
spread with 4:20 left in the stanza.
Blufftons best drive of the half an 11-
play sequence from the 24 to the Spencerville
20 ended on downs.
The onslaught continued: a 3-play quick-
hitter, set up by a Calvin Wilson 66-yard run.
At the Bluffton six, he busted in off left guard.
Nourse and Corso hooked up for the
2-pointer and a 54-20 edge with 10:48
remaining.
That also began a running clock and
the nal score came on Spencervilles
next series after Ault was sacked for a
10-yard loss trying to punt. Vandemark ran in
from four yards off right guard with 7:47 to go.
The kick failed to account for the nal score.
We told the players at halftime that for
us to be an upper-level team, we had to play
like one. We also asked the question who was
going to step up and left it open; the kids re-
sponded, Zerbe said. The good thing about
halftime is we can nd out what is really going
on and gure out the plays we can run. The
offensive line just dominated. Defensively, all
we really did was tell the kids to back off some
and give themselves a chance to run with
the receivers; were aggressive and may-
be were too much so the rst half.
Spencerville visits Crestview Friday.

Mustangs run over Panthers, 47-7
BY DHI MEDIA STAFF
REPORT
PAULDING - Paulding
looked to corral visiting Al-
len East on Friday night but
the Mustangs broke away for
21 rst quarter points and
never looked back as they
beat the Panthers, 47-7, in
Northwest Conference foot-
ball action.
Paulding was only able to
muster 143 yards of offense

Treston Gonzales pulled in
seven catches for 59 yards
and the lone Panther score.
The Mustangs rode the
strength of their legs to the
victory, totaling 341 yards
on 27 carries as a team, an
impressive 12.6 yards per

nishing with 99 yards on
six tries and Tanner Stip-
pich chipped in with three

Kalida LadyCats sweep Jefferson Wildcats in volleyball
BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Sports Editor
news@delphosherald.com
KALIDA Volleyball is a game of momentum.
Just ask Jefferson head coach Joy DeVelvis.
Kalida got into a good rhythm tonight and its hard to stop
a team when they get on a roll is how DeVelvis described the
host LadyCats 25-15, 25-15, 25-6 sweep of the visiting Wild-
cats Thursday night at Kalida.
Kalida honored its ve graduating seniors before the match
as Nicole Recker (41 assists, 2 aces), Morgan Niese (11 kills),
Kennedy Hoffman (15 digs), Caitlin Stechschulte and Alexis
Vorst prepared for their nal regular-season home match.
Kalida head coach Kristen Stechschulte described her up-
perclassmen as a great group of girls that are excellent leaders.
These ladies are very focused and are determined to improved
every game.
Kalida opened up the set with a 4-2 lead on a set by Recker
to Carlee Miller (12 kills, 10 digs, 4 aces) for the kill. Jefferson
cut into the lead as Sarah Miller got the slam from an assist by
Brooke Culp. Kalida went a 6-1 run as Niese got a block, Al-
lison Recker a kill and an ace by Miller. Jefferson got
as close as four points on a set by Miller to Andrea
Geise for the kill before Kalida began to pull away.
Nicole Recker tallied seven assists as her teammates
racked up a 12 kills en route to a 10-point victory.
Kalida kept scoring to open the second set with
kills by Vorst and Kylie Osterhage (18 digs, 6 kills)
along with a Nicole Recker tip. Jefferson kept its
composure as they fought back with a nicely-placed tip by
Danielle Harman and a Macy Wallace return kill to even the
score at six. Kalida scored seven unanswered points before a
kill by Wallce from an assist by Devyn Carder stopped the
run. Nicole Recker dished out two more assists on kills by
Osterhage and Vorst to open a 15-8 lead. Jefferson scored
consecutive points on a kill by Wallace and a Culp ace to get
within ve points. Delphos got a serving ace by Wallace but
Kalida notched four more kills to reach set point. A block by
Allison Recker gave Kalida another victory by the identical
score of the rst set.
Just like they did in the previous sets, Kalida
took the lead and never looked back. The LadyCats
led 5-0 before the visitors cut into the lead on a kill
by Harman. A 15-0 run by Kalida put the set out
of reach as Nicole Recker dished out eight assists
on the night for kills by Niese, Osterhage, Allison
Recker and Miller. Vorst also had an ace during
the rally as Kalida won in a landslide.
Both teams head into sectional tournament action next week
as Kalida takes on Patrick Henry and Jefferson awaits the win-
ner of Coldwater/Allen East.
In J.V. action, the Kalida volleyball program had a clean
sweep, taking both sets: 25-17 and 25-9.
Watching Heisman race as
season nears halfway mark
BY RALPH D. RUSSO
AP College Football Writer
The Heisman Trophy race, much like the
playoff chase, took a detour last weekend.
The presumptive favorite, Marcus Mariota of
Oregon, was unable to prevent his team from
being upset. Dak Prescott emerged as a le-
gitimate contender for Mississippi State and a
couple of guys who were trending in Septem-
ber Kenny Hill of Texas A&M and Ameer
Abdullah of Nebraska cooled off.
And now Jameis Winston isnt the only can-
didate to be suspended.
As the season hits the midway point, a
Heisman edition of things to watch for this
weekend.
WHAT TO DO WITH JAMEIS?
Winstons quest to become the second
player to win two Heisman trophies might al-
ready be over. Before he ever played a down
the Florida State quarterback had two things
working against him. First, he probably had to
be at least as good, if not better, than last year,
when he had one of the best seasons a college
quarterback has ever had. Second, Winston
came into the season carrying the baggage of
off-the-eld issues, and then added more with
a one-game suspension.
Charles Davis, an analyst for Fox and Heis-
man voter, said he hasnt eliminated Winston,
but he thinks other voters might be leaning
that way already.
My sense is that most voters will look for
an alternative, Davis said in an email.

SATURDAY, OCT. 11, 2014
The rewards you get for your
hard work will mean more if
you have someone to share
them with. Keep your personal
relationships strong and include
your loved ones in your dreams
and aspirations. Finding the
right balance will result in
happiness for all concerned.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Curtail your spending
habits. Putting some money
into a long-term investment
will lessen your temptation to
overspend. You should also
set up a reasonable budget and
stick to it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Someone around you
will not give a true assessment
of a situation you face. Discreet
inquiries will enable you to
fnd out the truth. Dont be
too free with your personal
information.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- You will gain
more respect and help if you
treat your partners as equals.
Whether at home or at work,
people appreciate fairness as
well as praise.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- Stay on top of your
game. Opportunities come and
go quickly. Keep up to date
with industry trends and get in
touch with potential partners.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Clear the air. If there is
discord among the people you
live with, you need to conduct
a serious dialogue in order to
remedy the situation. Dont
ignore the obvious.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Dont pass on a chance to
travel. Keep your passport and
personal papers up to date so
that you will be ready to go at a
moments notice.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- You can accomplish
plenty if you put in overtime
at work. Not only will you
clear your schedule, you can
gain recognition from your
superiors and bring in extra
cash.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Quick decisions will be
your downfall. Avoid buying
things on impulse, and dont fy
off the handle if your partner
offers friendly advice. Think
things through before you act.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Keep your personal and
professional lives separate.
An emotional attachment to
a co-worker is likely to cause
mistrust and dissatisfaction
among your other colleagues.
Keep your mind on the job, not
on whos watching you.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Children will have a
positive effect on your day.
New relationships are possible
if you participate in family-
oriented events or activities.
Get out and enjoy what your
community has to offer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Plan to do something that
allows you to be introspective.
Reading, writing or listening
to music will help calm your
nerves. Discussions will be less
than satisfactory.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- If you feel restless, check out
local educational opportunities.
For inspiration, consider
learning a new language, doing
some painting or taking part in
a discussion group that offers
cultural information.

COUGARS
(From page A8)
Two series later, the Cougars defense held on
another fourth down, this time giving the ball
back to its offense at the Cougar 14. A Colin
Smith-to-Tussing pass resulted in a 12-yard gain,
but the Cougars were agged for a late hit and
then a hold, leaving them a rst-and 19 from their
own ve. On the next play, Smith was stopped
behind the line and the Cougars were pinned at
their own one. Two snaps later, Tussing couldnt
get out of the end zone on a handoff and the Bull-
dogs took an 8-7 lead on the safety.
The Bulldogs capitalized on the ensuing
drive, using a precision passing attack to move
63 yards in just four plays. The drive culminat-
ed with a 28-yard touchdown pass from Hoyng
to Grant Bader, giving Celina a 15-7 edge with
7:45 to play in the opening half.
Celina expanded its lead late in the quar-
ter, after recovering another Cougar fumble,
this one gave the Dogs the ball at the Cougar
29. After a Hoyng-to Sean Kirk pass moved
the ball inside the 20, it was Kirk who took a
handoff on a jet sweep and raced to pay dirt,
scoring form 18 yards out with just 43 seconds
to play before halftime.
We gave them the ball on the seven-yard
line to start the game, theyre going to prob-
ably score there, but defensively, we played
well just like weve been playing all year, Van
Wert coach Keith Recker explained, noting
that his defense faced difcult eld position
much of the night. They kept us in the game.
Van Wert had opportunities in the second
half, but couldnt take advantage.
After recovering a fumble on the second-
half kickoff, the Cougars had the ball at Ce-
linas 33 yard line. Four plays later, the Cou-
gars turned it over on downs, failing to covert
a fourth-and-11.
After forcing a punt, Van Wert had the ball
at the Celina 40, but once again, stalled offen-
sively. Though they gained one rst down, an
incompletion on fourth-and-11 from the Celina
30 ended another drive.
With ve minutes left in the third, the Cou-
gars took over in Celina territory for a third
straight possession, this one coming by way of
an Evan Williams fumble recovery that put the
ball at the 49. The Cougars gained one yard in
three plays and were forced to punt.
We had some things going, then wed
shoot ourselves in the foot, whether it was
fumbles, bad snaps, penalties All night, it
just never stopped, noted a frustrated Cougar
head coach. Wed get something good, then
have something bad happen.
After Andy Hammond came up with an in-
terception, Van Wert had its last best chance to
get back into the game, and they appeared to
do so when Nick Krugh ran it in off left tackle
from four yards out early in the fourth quarter.
That score was called back when the Cougars
were agged for holding, one of 10 enforced
Van Wert infractions. On the very next snap,
Smiths pass into the end zone was intercepted.
We werent getting much going - a little
bit in the run game, but couldnt get anything
in the pass game - we knew it was getting late,
it was time (to score), Recker said. We just
couldnt sustain anything long enough to feel
like we had a chance.
(From page A8)
Crestview advanced into Ada territory on
each of its nal two possessions, but both times
Trent Jolliff intercepted a pass to thwart the
Knights. His second pick-off came at the goal
line with 22 seconds left to play and sealed the
verdict.
Knight quarterback Preston Zaleski rolled
left on fourth-and-seven from the Ada 19 and
threw back to his right toward Nate Owens in
the end zone, but the ball hung in the air long
enough for Jolliff to make a ne leaping in-
terception, and he fell into the end zone for a
touchback.
The Knights dropped to 6-1 overall and 3-1
in NWC play with the upset loss. The Bulldogs
improved to 4-3 overall and 3-2 in the NWC
with their third consecutive win.
Crestview started the game with its biggest
pass play of the night. Zaleski hooked up with
a wide-open Owens on a 44-yard strike down
the middle on the games rst play from scrim-
mage. Four plays later, Jake Lippi powered in
to score from four yards out. Zaleski ran in the
two-point conversion and the Knights led 8-0
just 2:26 into the contest.
In the second period, Ada marched 84 yards
in just 54 seconds over eight plays to pay dirt.
A 26-yard pass to Jolliff ignited the march.
Blake Ansley then snagged a nice over-the-
shoulder 20-yard touchdown toss from Seth
Conley with 8:29 left in the half. The extra-
point kick by Aaron Everhart cut the Knight
lead to 8-7.
Two possessions later, the Bulldogs again
drove 84 yards to score. A 24-yard pass to
Slate Johansen started the march, which ended
in a 7-yard touchdown pass to an open Jolliff
in the left corner of the end zone. The PAT
kick with 30 seconds left gave Ada a 14-8 lead
at intermission.
The Knights regained their lead with a 45-
yard touchdown drive on their second pos-
session of the third period. Four Zaleski runs
gained 23 yards. Speedy Malcolm Oliver then
cut back and scampered 22 yards to score eas-
ily with 4:20 left in the quarter. Jake Tatums
left-footed point-after kick put the Knights
back on top by a single point at 15-14.
A fumbled snap and a high snap stymied
the next Crestview drive, but they pinned Ada
back on their own nine with a 41-yard rolling
punt.
The Bulldogs drove just past mideld, yet
a sack forced a punt. Zaleski ran 23 yards to
the Knight 49 before the drive stalled. The bad
punt snap turned into a block by Ansley and
the TD return by Bailey.
After the kickoff, Oliver sped 34 yards
down the left sideline to the Ada 46. However
on third-and-10, Jolliff picked off a sideline
pass at the 19. The hosts gave the ball right
back when they threw high on a slant and it
was intercepted at the Bulldog 36.
Crestview advanced to the 19, but a short
run and two incompletions brought up fourth-
and-seven. After a timeout, Zaleski rolled left
and threw back to his right, where it was again
intercepted by Jolliff to preserve the upset.
The victory kept Adas hopes for a ninth
straight playoff appearance alive.
Notes and stats: Ada narrowly out-gained
Crestview 293-285 in total yards, and earned
17 rst downs to 14 by the visitors. The Knights
rushed for 198 yards on 42 tries. Oliver carried
10 times for 69 yards while Zaleski rushed 22
times for 67 yards. Zaleski completed six of 18
passes for 87 yards with two pick-offs. Owens
caught two passes for 54 yards. Adas Conley
completed 27 of 43 passes for 259 yards and
two TDs with one interception. Grant McBride
led Ada with seven catches for 71 yards. Jolliff
added six receptions for 50 yards. Ada had a
28:17 to 19:43 edge in time of possession.

On the next play, Tyler
Showalter hooked up with
Seth Saylor for the 23-yard
touchdown toss that seemed to
spark the Raiders.
The Bulldogs were forced
to punt on their ensuing pos-
session and Wayne Trace took
advantage.
Starting the drive at its own
25, Wayne Trace needed only
six plays to nd the end zone.
Tyler Showalter connected
with Daron Showalter on a 22-
yard scoring strike that got the
Raiders within 28-26.
The Raiders werent done,
though.
Tyler Showalter would put
Wayne Trace in front 34-28 at
the 38 second mark on a three-
yard touchdown run to give
the red-white-and-blue its rst
lead of the night.
Our guys showed a lot of
heart tonight, Speller noted.
They could have quit or they
could have gotten down on
themselves but they didnt.
They came out and made
plays in the second half and
that is just the way this group
of kids is. They just come out
and get the job done.
Edgerton would go back in
front when Miller connected
with Michael on a 28-yard
touchdown pass. Millers ex-
tra point conversion kick split
the uprights, putting the Bull-
dogs on top 35-34 with 9:50
remaining.
After Showalters rst
down pass was intercepted by
Edgertons Isaiah Nichols, the
Bulldogs were again in busi-
ness.
Facing a third and eight
at its own 35, Landon Thiel
came in as Edgertons quar-
terback and proceeded to
hook up with Miller on a 65-
yard scoring strike that put the
Bulldogs on top 42-34 at the
8:06 mark.
Edgerton came back and
got the lead and our kids just
stepped up and wouldnt be
denied, added the Raider
mentor. I just give our kids a
lot of credit. They were very
resilient.
Wayne Trace needed only
two plays to tie the contest.
Tyler Showalter found Da-
vid Sinn on an 18-yard touch-
down toss to knot the score at
42-42 at the 7:36 mark of the
stanza.
After Edgerton failed to
get a rst down on its ensu-
ing possession, Wayne Trace
would take advantage.
The Raiders needed only
ve plays to take the lead
for good, getting a ve-yard
touchdown pass from Tyler
Showalter to Daron Showalter
with 4:50 mark.
The Bulldogs did make
one nal push to tie the con-
test.
Edgerton drove to the
Wayne Trace 33 before a Bull-
dog fumble was recovered by
the Raiders Chuckie Chastain
to seal the win.
Its a win and thats the
big thing, concluded Speller.
It wasnt easy but the guys
battled through and found a
way to get it done. We have
things that we have to get bet-
ter at and we will work on
them. But I am just so proud
of these guys and the way they
came back tonight and didnt
give up.
RAIDERS
(From page A9)
As a colleague said to me recently: Im tired of having to
defend my Heisman vote for things that are non-football re-
lated.
Winston and the top-ranked Seminoles are at Syracuse on
Saturday.
STOCK DOWN
Preseason Heisman hype hasnt meant much in recent years,
but Mariota looked to be a player who could buck that trend
and go from preseason favorite to runaway winner. And then
Arizona upset the Ducks. Mariota wasnt bad in the game and
his overall numbers are still impressive (15 touchdown passes
and no interceptions). He did fumble twice versus the Wildcats
and despite Oregons offensive line problems those turnovers
have to go on his resume.
Mariota was my leader until Oregon lost, said voter Bob
Asmussen of the Champaign (Illinois) News-Gazette. It hurt
him, but he is still a strong candidate.
Mariota gets a chance for quick redemption on Saturday
when the 12th-ranked Ducks play at No. 18 UCLA. Its also an
opportunity for Bruins quarterback Brett Hundley to get back
into the mix.
STOCK UP
Prescott has overtaken Mariota and Hundley as the hot dual-
threat quarterback, helping the Bulldogs bolt up the rankings
to No. 3 in the country. The Tim Tebow comparisons help his
cause, too. But things can change fast at this time of year. Great
games against LSU and Texas A&M can be quickly overshad-
owed if Prescott plays a clunker against No. 2 Auburn.
Early favorite in my book, based on games played, is Mis-
sissippi State quarterback Dak Prescott, said voter Jimmy
Burch of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
RUNNING IT UP
Since 2000, only two running backs have won the Heis-
man (USCs Reggie Bush in 2005, since vacated, and Ala-
bamas Mark Ingram in 2009). The running backs have re-
turned this season: Wisconsins Melvin Gordon (174 yards
per game, tops in the nation) and Georgias Todd Gurley
(155 ypg, third in the country) all look capable of making a
run at the Heisman. Both are averaging more than 8.0 yards
per carry.
The Badgers are off this week, and now Gurley most likely
is, too. The Bulldogs star was suspended indenitely while the
school looks into allegations of NCAA violations. Meanwhile,
No. 13 Georgia faces a key SEC East matchup at No. 23 Mis-
souri.
A player who wont get as much attention as he probably
should: Indianas Tevin Coleman (168 ypg, second in the coun-
try). The Hoosiers are at Iowa.
CATCHING ON
Only two wide receivers have ever won the Heisman (Notre
Dames Tim Brown in 1987 and Michigans Desmond Howard
in 1991). Both also returned kicks. Alabamas Amari Cooper
doesnt return kicks, but hes a good enough receiver to make
history. He leads the nation in catches per game (10.4) and is
second in yards per game (149.2). The seventh-ranked Tide is
at Arkansas on Saturday.

Jump ahead to the 1980s.
Dredging in the canal has al-
tered water ow and the Mar-
guerites remains are slowly
being lifted from their resting
place to above the waterline
and into view of the modern
world. A local youth group,
the Columbian Squires, while
cleaning brush and debris
from the canal banks, noticed
the rising timbers and with
youthful curiosity began to ask
questions. They questioned
their groups advisor, Fr. Chris
Vasko, about the timbers. Af-
ter an examination of the de-
bris, Fr. Vasko declared to his
young Squires that there was
a canal boat in those waters!
The young men of the Squires
were stricken with canal boat
fever and soon a project to res-
cue the remains, dubbed Raise
the Lady, was formed.
From January to June 1987,
the young men of the Squires,
ages 16-9 years, began re-
searching the Marguerite and
the proper methods to extract
her from her decades-long
resting place. Not only was
education needed to complete
this project, permission was
necessary as well. Permits
were needed from the State
of Ohio to make the site safe
and suitable for excavation
and to allow for removal of
the remains from state prop-
erty. The Ohio Department of
Natural Resources eventually
granted permission to lower
the water level in the canal to
allow for an archaeological
dig and to allow the removal
of the Marguerites remains.
However, the Squires were re-
quired to complete their ambi-
tious project in a short 15-day
window beginning Aug. 30.
The dig nally began on
Aug. 30, 1987. A coffer dam
had been built south of the
excavation site and when the
control dam to the north was
opened, the water slowly be-
gan to recede and the full
majesty of the Marguerite be-
gan to appear. The Lady was
more than 72 feet long and
nearly 12 feet wide. Parts of
the aft quarter and much of
the bow had been damaged
or destroyed by various canal
maintenance projects over the
decades.
The amateur archaeolo-
gists, with careful adult super-
vision, began their project by
rst examining the newly ex-
posed canal bed surrounding
the Marguerite and carefully
recording any artifacts found
there. Finally, the removal of
the boat from the canal was
set to begin. After exhaustive
preparation, at 10:30 a.m. on
Sept. 5, the recovery team
entered the site and carefully
began to remove each timber,
tagging it and recording its
position. At the end of each
day, timbers were removed to
storage, treated with preser-
vatives and given permanent
identication tags.
As rst the ribs and then
the planks of the keel were
removed, the newly exposed
canal bed was examined for
additional artifacts. The last
timbers to be removed, the
keel planks, measured 10-14
feet in length, a foot wide and
two inches thick and were sat-
urated, leaving them slippery,
heavy and extremely pliable.
To prevent damage, they were
carefully hoisted onto the ca-
nal bank to allow water to
drain overnight. The next day
they were transported to stor-
age, tagged and treated.
After removal of all arti-
facts and timbers, the site was
subsequently cleaned, restored
and the canal re-watered. The
Marguerites timbers contin-
ued to be treated with preser-
vative for many months to en-
sure their long term viability.
Phase One of Raise the Lady
was complete.
A generation passes and
the Delphos Canal Commis-
sion, formed from the origi-
nal Raise the Lady project,
now has a well-established
museum in downtown Del-
phos showcasing the citys
rich history. In 2013, the Mu-
seum nally has the space and
resources to bring the Lady
home. The Marguerites well-
preserved ribs and planks are
transported from storage to
the Museums main oor.
Over the ensuing months,
trustees and volunteers at
the museum spent countless
hours planning and construct-
ing an exhibit showcasing the
remains of an authentic 19th
century canal boat. Thanks to
careful tagging by the young
archaeologists in 1987, the
preserved timbers were able to
be positioned in the exhibit as
they were found in the canal.
Additional construction of key
components of canal boats,
such as the captains cabin and
the addition of educational
signage, help tell the story of
the Marguerite and the Miami
and Erie Canal during its 19th
century heyday. The entire ex-
hibit is greatly enhanced by a
beautiful mural of Lock 24,
an original stone lock located
in Stadium Park on Delphos
north end. The exhibit is con-
structed as to allow visitors
to walk the deck of the
Marguerite as she prepares to
lock through Lock 24 on her
way into Delphos.
The Marguerite exhibit
will be formally dedicated
on Sunday. The museum will
open at 1 p.m. with a short
program to begin at 1:15 p.m.
Monsignor Chris Vasko, who
was instrumental in the Raise
the Lady project, will give a
short history of the Marguerite
and her voyage from Mud to
Museum. Mayor Mike Gall-
meier will also present a proc-
lamation on the Marguerite
exhibit. The public is invited
to experience the exhibit, en-
joy light refreshments and
view the rest of the exhibits
of Delphos history. Special,
commemorative items will be
available for purchase and can
be stamped with the ofcial
dedication date.
The Delphos Canal Com-
mission would like to invite
all former Columbian Squires,
adults and any others who
participated in the excavation,
preservation and restoration
of the Marguerite since 1987
to join in the dedication of the
Marguerite Exhibit.
YESTERYEAR SADAT
(From page A5)
He electried the world in November 1977
when he declared he would go to the ends of
the earth, even to the Israeli Knesset (parlia-
ment) to discuss peace if it would save even
one Egyptian soldier.
Less than two weeks later, Sadat was in Is-
rael, stunning his own nation and horrifying
most other Arab leaders.
He also waged an off-again, on-again re-
lationship with Libyan leader Col. Moammar
Khadafy, Egypts western neighbor who was
one of Egypts harshest critics as Egypt moved
steadily toward peace with Israel.
In July 1977, Egypt and Libya clashed in
a ve-day reght along the border from the
Mediterranean south into the desert. The skir-
mishes quickly subsided, but the rhetoric heat-
ed up time and time again.
Egypts vice president said Monday on
returning from Washington that the United
States promised to do all it could to help coun-
ter Soviet-inspired designs in the Middle East
and Africa.
He said his talks in Washington centered in
part on Sudans need for military aid because
of threats from Libya. Egypt has joined a de-
fense pact with Sudan, and the United States
reportedly was pressed for speedy delivery of
anti-aircraft missiles to Sudan.
Libyas Soviet-equipped army has inter-
vened in Chads civil war and Sudan has ac-
cused the Libyans of bombing Sudanese vil-
lages along the borer with Chad.

He took on Democrat claims of only cutting
taxes for the wealthiest Ohioans by saying, Only
in Democrat literature can you take an across-the-
board 10 percent tax cut and call that a huge give-
away to the rich. Im kind of funny. I believe that
if you pay taxes and we give everybody the same
tax cut at 10 percent then everybody gets a tax cut.
Unless you dont pay taxes. Oh, but we went there
too. We did an earned income tax credit which
refunds some of the payroll taxes to people who
dont pay taxes. So they got some, too. But thats
not what you see in the discussion.
Faber went on to give examples of businesses
who have noticed that Ohio is friendlier toward the
owners of business and easier to deal with than in
the past.
Part of that business climate was credited by
Faber to an emphasis on simplifying regulations.
We all want clean air, clean water, and healthy
work environments. Everybody wants that. The
question is how you get there, he stated. We dont
need seven feet of Ohio Code of Administrative Reg-
ulations to get there. So we put in the Common Sense
Initiation, something radical, something I drafted
since the governor came into ofce new administra-
tive rules new lings are down by 48 percent.
He backed up his claim about a better business
environment in the state by looking at job growth.
Faber stated, Just in our area, I can point to over
5,000 new jobs coming to our area in the past 36
months. Thats moving in the right direction.
Faber also spent time talking about education,
common core, and the importance of this elec-
tions Supreme Court justice races.
In the next four of the seven people on the
Ohio Supreme Court will be new people because
of the age limitation on the current justices.
Faber was in town for the monthly luncheon of
the Van Wert County Republicans at Willow Bend
Country Club in Van Wert. Fabers district is made
of up of all or part of the western Ohio counties
of Allen, Mercer, Shelby, Champaign, Auglaize,
Darke, and Logan counties.
DEAR ABBY: Im a teen-
age girl who is frustrated with
my family. I am the middle
child, and it seems like my
parents prefer my brother
and sister over me. I am con-
stantly in trouble for things
they have done, and my par-
ents are aware that they did.
When I try to express my
feelings, nobody will listen.
Several times I have almost
committed suicide or run
away. I am lost and I dont
know what to do. Please help
me. NOWHERE IN IN-
DIANA
DEAR NOWHERE:
When a person cries out in
pain and feels she (or he)
isnt heard, it can be doubly
painful. But suicide or run-
ning away is not the answer.
What you need to do is ex-
plain to an adult an aunt,
uncle, school counselor or
close family friend how
you are feeling, so that per-
son can intercede on your be-
half with your parents, who
may not realize what theyre
doing and the effect its hav-
ing on you.

DEAR ABBY: How long
is too long to wait when it
comes to hearing the highly
anticipated phrase, I love
you? My boyfriend and I
have been dating for eight
months. We have been
through a lot together during
this time, and his actions sug-
gest that he loves me. When
I nally asked him why he
hasnt said it to me, he said,
Why havent YOU said it?
I want it to happen natural-
ly, and, Just be patient with
me.
We get along amazingly
well. We have a wonderful
time every time we see each
other (which is almost every
day), and he has told me he
can see a future with me. Am
I wrong for thinking I deserve
to hear the L word at this
point, or am I rushing things?
I dont understand why he is
so reluctant to say it, and his
reluctance makes me think
maybe he just doesnt love
me. STILL WAITING IN
NEW JERSEY
DEAR STILL WAITING:
Not all men are comfortable
expressing their emotions
verbally. Actions speak loud-
er than words. Many men
have told women they love
them, only to have their be-
havior prove otherwise. That
your boyfriend has given
you three different answers
to your question indicates to
me that you may have been
pushing him to say it. I would
caution you against that be-
cause it could push him away.
Hearing the words I love
you isnt something a per-
son deserves. Its important
that the words be genuine.

DEAR ABBY: When I
approach someone to hug, is
there a correct side to go for?
Does a relative or friend have
a bearing on your choice, or
does it matter if its a man
or woman or how well you
know them? Is the left side
as good as the right side?
WHICH SIDE? IN OHIO
DEAR WHICH SIDE:
Hugging anyone you dont
know well is a mistake be-
cause some people have an
aversion to intimate contact
with strangers. That said, I
dont think it matters a lot
which side you go for
although I have heard some
people bear to the left be-
cause that way their hearts
are closer together. Person-
ally, I tend to feint to the left
because Im left-handed
but thats just me.
