FORT JENNINGS
Fort Jennings Elementary
students are springing into
action the second half of
the school year by taking
part in an after-school pro-
gram focusing on remarkable
things exercise, education
and creative enrichment.
Sixty-five students from
grades 1-4 participate in
the program held from
3-4:30 p.m. on Monday
and Wednesday. At 3 p.m.,
the students are dismissed
from classes and meet in
the gymnasium to burn off
some energy and take part in
an exercise regimen under
the direction of Shelley
Mumaw, who is the District
Director of Technology and
has coordinated the program
events for two years. She
explained how the enrich-
ment part of the program
works.
After leaving the gymna-
sium, the students connect
in the cafeteria for a healthy
snack and engage in a social
setting with other students.
At 3:30 p.m., the students
are divided into groups and
move into classrooms for
the enrichment and home-
work part of the program
starts. During this session,
teachers work with groups
of 5 to 10 students for an
hour on studies like spelling
assignments, currency calcu-
lations and learning Spanish.
Enrichment activities include
school spirit buttons and fig-
ures, science-related cooking
class and crafts, flower pots
and hats.
Each day, a group of
students will attend an hour-
long session working with a
teacher on homework for one
half-hour and then spend the
rest of the hour working on an
enrichment project. Mumaw
described the change in activ-
ities. On Wednesday, the
groups of students have a dif-
ferent teacher, receive assis-
tance with homework and
participate in a new hands-on
enrichment activity.
Fort Jennings Elementary
Principal Kathy Verhoff
believes the program is a
great opportunity for the kids.
Since beginning the program
four years ago, the response
from students and parents has
been overwhelming.
Mrs. Mumaw does a
fantastic job, Verhoff spoke
with great enthusiasm. It
is something the students
receive above and beyond
their daily education.
The initiative, Safe
Military to decide
which combat jobs
for women
By LOLITA C. BALDOR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON The
Pentagons decision to lift
the ban on women serving
in combat presents a daunt-
ing challenge to top military
leaders who now will have
to decide which, if any, jobs
they believe should be open
only to men.
Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta is expected to
announce today that more
than 230,000 battlefront posts
many in Army and Marine
infantry units and in poten-
tially elite commando jobs
are now open to women.
It will be up to the military
service chiefs to recommend
and defend whether women
should be excluded from any
of those more demanding
and deadly positions, such as
Navy SEALs or the Armys
Delta Force.
The historic change,
which was recommended
by the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
overturns a 1994 rule pro-
hibiting women from being
assigned to smaller ground
combat units.
The change wont take
place overnight: Service
chiefs will have to develop
plans for allowing women to
seek the combat positions,
a senior military official
said. Some jobs may open
as soon as this year, while
assessments for others, such
as special operations forces,
may take longer. The servic-
es will have until January
2016 to make a case to that
some positions should remain
closed to women.
Officials briefed The
Associated Press on the
changes Wednesday on con-
dition of anonymity so they
could speak ahead of the offi-
cial announcement.
There long has been oppo-
sition to putting women in
combat, based on questions
of whether they have the nec-
essary strength and stamina
for certain jobs, or whether
their presence might hurt unit
cohesion.
But as news of Panettas
expected order got out,
many members of Congress,
including the Senate Armed
Services Committee chair-
man, Sen. Carl Levin,
D-Mich., announced their
support.
It reflects the reality of
21st century military opera-
tions, Levin said.
Objections were few. Jerry
Boykin, executive vice presi-
dent of the Family Research
Council, called the move
another social experiment
that will place unnecessary
burdens on military com-
manders.
While their focus must
remain on winning the battles
and protecting their troops,
they will now have the dis-
traction of having to pro-
vide some separation of the
genders during fast moving
and deadly situations, said
Boykin, a retired Army lieu-
tenant general. He noted that
small units often are in sus-
tained combat for extended
periods of time under primal
living conditions with no pri-
vacy.
Panettas move comes in
his final weeks as Pentagon
chief and just days after
President Barack Obamas
inaugural speech in which
he spoke passionately about
equal rights for all. The new
order expands the depart-
ments action of nearly a year
ago to open about 14,500
combat positions to women,
nearly all of them in the Army.

WASHINGTON (AP)
Members of the sandwich gen-
eration caught between sup-
porting elderly parents whose
assets are nearly exhausted and
adult children without jobs
might find some relief come
tax time.
The bottom line is, whos a
dependent? Your kindergarten-
age son, your adult daughter,
her grandparents, or maybe an
elderly uncle or aunt?
Theres a changing fam-
ily dynamic because of the
economy, said Bob Meighan,
vice president of TurboTax, an
online tax preparation service.
More people are living
longer. According to the U.S.
Census Bureau, the number of
older Americans increased by
9.7 percent from 2000 to 2010,
when there were about 40 mil-
lion people age 65 or older.
A longer lifespan puts added
strain on retirement accounts,
which have already taken a hit
in the roller-coaster economy.
As a result, many baby boom-
ers find themselves supporting
their elderly parents, in some
cases footing the bill for assisted
living or nursing home care.
Meanwhile, the unemploy-
ment rate for adults age 20 to 24
was 13.7 percent in December,
considerably higher than the
overall rate of 7.8 percent.
Unable to find work, many
young adults are returning
home or never leaving, rely-
ing on Mom and Dad for food,
lodging and more.
What does this mean for
taxes?
A lot of filers are going to
have to pay particular atten-
tion, Meighan said. More peo-
ple may rely on tax software
to help get them through the
dependency issue.
Depending on individual
circumstances, taxpayers may
be able to claim both their
parents and their children as
dependents.
The rules are very pro-tax-
payer, said Mark Steber, chief
tax officer at Jackson-Hewitt
Tax Services. If you are tak-
ing care of someone and the
IRS defines that clearly age,
income, residency tests and
support you should be able
to claim the exemption, he says.
It comes down to the defini-
tion of dependent.
The Internal Revenue
Service makes a distinction
between a qualifying child and
a qualifying relative.
To be a qualifying child, the
person would have to be a child,
stepchild, foster child or sibling,
and under the age of 19, or 24 if
in college, who has lived with
you for at least half the year. The
taxpayer would have to provide
at least half the support.
A qualifying relative can be
a child who doesnt meet the
qualifying child requirement, a
parent or stepparent, grandpar-
ent, niece or nephew, aunt or
uncle or in-laws, according to
the IRS. They do not necessar-
ily have to live with you, but
you do have to provide at least
half the support for that person.
And that persons income can-
not exceed the personal exemp-
tion $3,800 in 2012.
Unlike a qualifying child,
a qualifying relative can be
any age, the IRS says in its
Publication 17.
Taxpayers can take an
exemption of $3,800 for each
qualified child or relative who
is a dependent.
Here are some examples
from the IRS:
Your mother received
$2,400 in Social Security bene-
fits and $300 in interest. She paid
$2,000 for lodging and $400
for recreation. If you spend
more than $2,400 to support her,
supplementing what she spends,
and her annual income is less
than $3,800, you can claim her
as a dependent and take the full
value of the exemption.
Your brothers daugh-
ter takes out a student loan of
$2,500 and uses it to pay her
college tuition. She is person-
ally responsible for the loan.
You provide $2,000 toward her
total support. You cannot claim
an exemption for her because
you provide less than half of
her support.
Usually the items that go
into determining support are the
cost of housing, food, clothing
and medical costs, including
doctor bills and medicine
But its not just the per-
sonal exemption that could help
taxpayers. Individual taxpayers
might qualify and get the extra
benefit of filing as head of
households if they legally can
claim children, parents or rela-
tives as a dependent, said Jackie
Perlman, principal tax research
analyst for H&R Block .
For example, the 15 percent
tax bracket applies to taxable
income up to $47,350 for heads
of households and $35,350
for individual returns. At the
25 percent tax bracket, its
$133,300 for heads of house-
holds and $85,650 for single
filers.
Plea changes
Betsy Bollenbacher, 39,
Rockford, changed her plea to
guilty to grand theft, a felony
of the fourth degree.
The court ordered a pre-
sentence investigation and set
sentencing for March 13.
Eva Leiendecker, 26,
Venedocia, entered a plea of
Guilty to three charges: Two
counts of Assault on a Peace
Officer, each a felony of the
fourth degree, and a charge
of Vandalism, a felony of the
fifth degree. Two charges of
Harassment by an inmate, each
a felony of the fifth degree
were dismissed for her pleas.
The court ordered a pre-
sentence Investigation and set
sentencing for March 13.
Probation violations
Chad Rowe, 28, Lima,
admitted to violating his pro-
bation by failing to inform pro-
bation of a contact with a law
enforcement officer, failing to
report to probation and failing
to complete counseling.
His probation was revoked
and he was sentenced to serve
12 months in prison with credit
for 198 days already served.
Jeremy Baer, 29, Van
Wert, admitted to violating his
probation by failing to inform
probation of a contact with a
law enforcement officer, fail-
ing to report to probation, and
failing to pay his court costs.
He was re-sentenced to 3
years community control with
additional provisions of 90
days jail, complete all pro-
grams in jail and also serve an
additional 30 days in jail at a
later date. A 12-months prison
sentence was deferred pend-
ing completion of community
control.
At 6:03 p.m. on Wednesday,

Today is Thursday, Jan. 24,
the 24th day of 2013. There are
341 days left in the year.
Todays Highlight in
History:
On Jan. 24, 2003, the U.S.
Department of Homeland
Security officially opened
as its head, Tom Ridge, was
sworn in. (Creation of the new
Cabinet agency was the largest
government reorganization in
more than 50 years, a response to
the Sept. 11 attacks and the threat
of further terror.)
On this date:
In 1848, James W. Marshall
discovered a gold nugget
at Sutters Mill in northern
California, a discovery that led to
the gold rush of 49.
In 1908, the Boy Scouts
movement began in England
under the aegis of Robert Baden-
Powell.
In 1942, the Roberts
Commission placed much of
the blame for Americas lack of
preparedness for Imperial Japans
attack on Pearl Harbor on Rear
Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and

Ohio judge to deadbeat dad:
Have no more children
ELYRIA (AP) A dead-
beat father who owes $97,000
in child support must avoid
having more children until he
can support the four he has, a
judge ruled Wednesday.
Judge James Walther in
Lorain County ruled in the
child-support case against
Asim Taylor, 35, of Elyria,
who pleaded guilty.
The judge said the order
would be lifted if Taylor pays
the overdue support.
His attorney, Douglas
Merrill, said the ruling was
overreaching and violates
Taylors rights.
The only way he can
ensure not impregnating a
woman is not to have sex and I
dont believe the court has the
ability to do that, Merrill said.
Merrill said he plans an
appeal based on an Ohio
Supreme Court ruling that
overturned a similar order that
focused on the mechanism for
paying up.
In the 2004 ruling out of
Medina County, the high court
said the no-children order was
too broad because it did not
provide a mechanism for the
defendant to regain his right to
procreate by paying overdue
support.
According to The (Elyria)
Chronicle-Telegram, the judge
said the defendant must take
care of the children that he has.
This Is a matter of common
sense and personal responsibil-
ity, the judge said.
In the past two months, two
different judges in Wisconsin
issued similar no-children
orders.
Last week in Shell Lake,
Wis., Judge Eugene Harrington
issued such a ruling and told
a defendant that within three
minutes of meeting a female,
he must tell her that hes a
convicted felon and has unpaid
child support.

COLUMBUS (AP)
Gov. John Kasich says the
president of Ohios educa-
tion board shouldnt lose her
job over an anti-gun-control
Facebook post that included a
photo of Adolf Hitler.
Kasich told The Columbus
Dispatch that Debe Terhar
has admitted the mistake, so
no further action is neces-
sary. Kasich spoke after arriv-
ing Wednesday in Davos,
Switzerland, for the World
Economic Forum.
Terhar said she regrets
sharing the photo on the most-
ly private Facebook page,
along with a message criticiz-
ing President Barack Obamas
new gun-control efforts. She
said her aim was to encour-
age historical reflection amid
the gun-control debate, not to
compare Obama to the Nazi
leader. Democratic board
members have called on
Terhar, a Republican, to issue
a public apology. They say it
sets a bad example.

COLUMBUS (AP)
Police in central Ohio have
arrested a 17-year-old and
15-year-old in last weeks
fatal shooting of another teen
in an after-school fight.
Columbus police say the
boys were arrested this week
in the Jan. 17 shooting death
of 15-year-old Kauwaun
Coleman.
The shooting happened
soon after a group of stu-
dents left a nearby high
school together and an alter-
cation began in an alley near a
McDonalds restaurant where
police found the wounded
ninth-grader.
Police say the accused teens
have lengthy criminal records.
Prosecutors have asked for at
least one of the cases to be
transferred to adult court.
COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohios former treasurer has
landed a key position oversee-
ing proposed financial legisla-
tion in the Ohio House.
Columbus Democrat Kevin
Boyce will serve as rank-
ing Democrat on the House
Financial Institutions, Housing
and Urban Development
Committee for the two-year
session.
Boyce lost his state office
to Republican Josh Mandel
in 2010. Last year, Boyce
was appointed to fill a House
vacancy created after ex-state
Rep. Carlton Weddington
of Columbus resigned amid
a bribery investigation.
Weddington has since gone
to prison.
Boyce was retained this
fall.
He also was appointed to
two other committees.

COLUMBUS The
leader of the Ohio House
said Wednesday his fel-
low Republicans have con-
cerns about the expense of
expanding Medicaid, though
he has yet to discuss with
them whether the state should
increase Medicaid coverage
under the federal health care
law.
Republican Gov. John
Kasich is expected to decide
soon whether Ohio should opt
for the Medicaid expansion
under the federal health care
law known as the Affordable
Care Act. The governor plans
to make the decision known
when he unveils his two-year
state budget proposal on Feb.
4.
Should Kasich go for
the expansion, the GOP-
controlled Legislature would
have to approve it.
House Speaker William
Batchelder, a Medina
Republican, acknowledged
Wednesday that expand-
ing Medicaid poses not just
financial questions, but also
philosophical ones for law-
makers who oppose the law
and its mandate for almost
everyone to obtain insurance.
Obviously our caucus has
concern about any expan-
sion of that program simply
because of the expenses,
Batchelder told reporters.
Its just huge, and so were
going to have to spend time
doing research and so forth.
Ohio had been among the 26
states that had challenged the
federal law. And the states
voters overwhelming snubbed
the overhauls mandated cov-
erage in a largely symbolic
referendum in 2011.
The U.S. Supreme Court
upheld the heart of the law last
year, but made the Medicaid
expansion optional for states.
The law expanded Medicaid
to cover low-income people
making up to 138 percent of
the federal poverty level, or
about $15,400 a year for a
single person. Ohio officials
have been weighing the long-
term impact and potential
costs of expanding Medicaid
against the possible savings.
A study released last week
said Ohio stands to make $1.4
billion over the next decade
with the expansion. But most
of that revenue would come
during the first years of an
expanded Medicaid program
and eventually level off as
the states share of the costs
increase.
About 456,000 uninsured
Ohioans would gain health
care coverage by 2022 under
the expansion, according to
the study from the Health
Policy Institute of Ohio, a
nonpartisan policy organiza-
tion. Batchelder said he had
yet to review the findings of
the groups report. He said
he planned to start focusing
on Medicaid expansion in
meetings with his Republican
members, who hold a 60-39
advantage in the state House.
I know the members are
going to want to do the best
that they can for their constit-
uency, Batchelder said. But
the other side of that is, Im
not quite sure where it leads
us. And if the federal govern-
ment decides that they dont
like us, then where are we?

Dear EarthTalk: What
are some tips for keeping
my dogs and cats healthy?
Kim Newfield, via
e-mail
Believe it or not, our pets
may be exposed to more
harsh chemicals through the
course of their day than we
are. Researchers at the non-
profit Environmental Working
Group (EWG) found that pet
dogs and cats were contami-
nated with 48 of 70 industrial
chemicals tested, including
43 chemicals at levels higher
than those typically found in
people.
Just as children ingest
pollutants in tap water, play
on lawns with pesticide resi-
dues or breathe in an array
of indoor air contaminants,
so do their pets, reports
EWG. Since they develop
and age seven or more times
faster than children, pets also
develop health problems from
exposures much faster, EWG
adds.
Average levels of many
chemicals were substantially
higher in pets than is typical
for people, with 2.4 times
higher levels of stain- and
grease-proof coatings (per-
fluorochemicals) in dogs, 23
times more fire retardants
(PBDEs) in cats, and more
than five times the amounts
of mercury, compared to aver-
age levels in people, reports
the group. Their 2008 study
looked at plastics and food
packaging chemicals, heavy
metals, fire retardants and
stain-proofing chemicals in
pooled samples of blood and
urine from 20 dogs and 37
cats tested at a Virginia vet-
erinary clinic.
For dogs, blood and urine
samples were contaminated
with 35 chemicals altogether,
including 11 carcinogens, 31
chemicals toxic to the repro-
ductive system, and 24 neu-
rotoxins, adds EWG. This
is particularly alarming given
that mans best friend is
known to have much higher
cancer rates than humans. A
2008 Texas A&M Veterinary
Medical Center study found
that dogs have 35 times more
skin cancer, four times more
breast tumors, eight times
more bone cancer, and two
times more leukemia per cap-
ita as humans. And according
to researchers from Purdue
University, cancer is the sec-
ond leading cause of death
for dogs, with about one in
four canines succumbing to
some form of the disease.
Meanwhile, hyperthyroid-
isma condition which many
think is on the rise in felines
due to chemical exposures
is already a leading cause of
illness for older cats.
In its Pets for the
Environment website, EWG
lists dozens of ways for pet
owners to ensure that dogs
and cats are as safe as pos-
sible in this dangerous world
we inhabit. Among other tips,
EWG recommends choosing
pet food without chemical
preservatives such as BHA,
BHT or ethoxyquin, and
looking for organic or free-
range ingredients rather than
by-products. As for drinking
water, EWG suggests running
tap water through a reverse
osmosis filtereither faucet-
mounted or pitcher-based
before it goes into a pets
bowl to remove common con-
taminants. Also, replacing old
bedding or furniture, especial-
ly if it has exposed foam, can
prevent pets from ingesting
fire retardants. From avoid-
ing non-stick pans and garden
pesticides to choosing greener
kitty litter and decking mate-
rial, the list of tips goes on.
Taking steps to ensure a
safer environment for pets
some 63 percent of U.S.
homes have at least one
will mean a safer world for
humans, too. EWG concludes
that our pets well may be
serving as sentinels for our
own health, as they breathe
in, ingest or absorb the same
chemicals that are in our envi-
ronments.

CANTON (AP) A tax-
payer is challenging an Ohio
judges decision a $5,000
fine paid by a former high
school basketball coach who
videotaped boys in a locker
room shower should go to
a Connecticut community
where 20 first-graders and six
educators died.
The challenge, arguing that
fines should go to the coun-
ty under Ohio law, was sent
Wednesday to Stark County
prosecutor by Craig Conley,
attorney representing resident
Thomas Marcelli on behalf of
county taxpayers. Their letter
asked the prosecutor to take
legal action against the judge
to recover the money, plus
interest, and ensure it is paid
to the county. Conleys letter
said he wasnt aware of state
law allowing for such a fine
to go toward a fund other than
the countys general fund, and
cited two previous cases in
which he said a state appeals
court found lower courts didnt
have the authority to direct
fine payments to charities and
other entities. The letter didnt
further explain the motivation
for the challenge. An after-
hours message was left with
Conleys office. A week after
the Connecticut elementary
school shooting, Stark County
Common Pleas Judge Frank
Forchione sentenced coach
Scott Studer to 15 years in
prison and issued instructions
for the $5,000 fine, saying he
hoped some good could come
from Studers crimes. More
than 70 boys were identified
on tapes made since 2005 at
Jackson High School near
Canton, where Studer coached
freshman boys basketball.
The judge said Wednesday
that he will review the tax-
payers concerns about the
fine. Studers attorney, Jim
Haupt, said he was aware of
the challenge but declined to
comment on it.

WASHINGTON The
nations sharp disagreements
over taxes and spending are on
a re-routed collision course,
as Senate Democrats launch
a plan that includes new taxes
and House Republicans vow
to speed up their plan to bal-
ance the federal budget with
spending cuts alone.
The Republicans new
approach would require
even deeper cuts in social
programs than they pushed
last year. Liberals denounced
those earlier plans as severe
and unfair, and they say the
new version would be worse.
The new commitments by
House and Senate members
stem from the ongoing dis-
pute over raising the federal
debt ceiling. The House voted
Wednesday to postpone any
showdown over the borrow-
ing limit for three months.
The Democratic-led Senate
plans to endorse the idea,
which the White House also
supports.
That means the next big
budget clash will occur in
March. Thats when major,
across-the-board spending
cuts both parties dislike
them are scheduled to
begin unless they are replaced
by a different deficit-cutting
technique.
Its possible that both par-
ties will continue to find ways
to postpone and minimize
tough decisions on taming the
deficit. But the new House
and Senate endeavors could
make such dodges more diffi-
cult. Voters, meanwhile, may
get a clearer picture of the
unpleasant choices they face.
The American people will
have a chance to compare the
two approaches, said Rep.
Trent Franks, R-Ariz., who
wants deep spending cuts and
no new taxes. The only way
to shrink the government, he
said, is choke the monster.
House Republicans now
vow to balance the budget in
10 years without tax hikes.
They say the methods might
include reducing future ben-
efits for Medicare, and possi-
bly Social Security, for people
now in their late 50s, rather
than those 55 and younger.
The search for savings
must move over into enti-
tlement spending more so
than before, said Rep. John
Fleming, R-La.
Balancing the budget in 10
years without tax increases
would require deep spending
cuts, causing many analysts
to view them as politically
near-impossible. Such an
effort would require cuts that
are a complete nonstarter for
anybody probably even
including House Republicans
themselves, said Michael
Ettlinger, an economist at the
Democratic-leaning Center
for American Progress.
But House conservatives
say aiming for that goal is
important. They demanded
this week that GOP leaders
agree to balance the budget in
10 years as the conservatives
price for supporting the three-
month extension of federal
borrowing powers.
House Democratic lead-
er Nancy Pelosi called the
new Republican goal Ryan
on steroids. She was refer-
ring to earlier Republican
budgets drafted by House
Budget Committee Chairman
Paul Ryan, the partys 2012
vice presidential nominee.
Ryans earlier plans would
have changed Medicare into
a voucher-like program with
limited government con-
tributions to health care for
seniors. His plans, endorsed
by most House Republicans,
also would have given states
full responsibility for running
Medicaid the health care
program for the poor with a
reduced federal contribution.
Even with those changes,
Ryans 2011 and 2012 plans
would not have balanced the
federal budget for decades.
As part of the deal putting
off the debt limit showdown,
the Democratic-run Senate
made concessions of its own:
It agreed to debate and pass
a budget for the first time
in three years. That exercise
will force senators to commit
themselves to politically dis-
tasteful spending cuts and tax
increases that they previously
had avoided.

WASHINGTON
Democratic Sen. John Kerry,
on a smooth path to confir-
mation as secretary of state,
is likely to face friendly
questioning when he testifies
before the committee that hes
served on for 28 years and led
for the past four.
The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee chair-
man will sit at the witness
table today when he appears
before the panel, a month
after President Barack Obama
said he wanted him to succeed
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton. Clinton is
stepping down.
The five-term Massa-
chusetts senator is widely
expected to win overwhelm-
ing bipartisan support from
his colleagues, and that notion
was reinforced by the list of
people who will introduce
him: Clinton, Massachusetts
freshman Sen. Elizabeth
Warren and Republican Sen.
John McCain.
McCain and Kerry are
friends who have worked
closely on national security
issues. Theyre also deco-
rated Vietnam War veterans
and former presidential can-
didates who know the sharp
sting of defeat.
At the conclusion of a
Capitol Hill news confer-
ence Tuesday, McCain joked
about Kerrys hearing and the
tough tactics that wont be
employed.
We will look forward to
interrogating him at his hear-
ing mercilessly, McCain
said to laughter. We will
bring back, for the only time,
waterboarding to get the
truth.
The hearing is the first of
three for Obamas national
security nominees and the
least controversial.
Former Republican Sen.
Chuck Hagel, nominated for
defense secretary, will face
tough questions about his past
statements on Israel, Iran,
nuclear weapons and defense
spending at his confirmation
hearing next Thursday before
the Senate Armed Services
Committee. John Brennan,
the presidents choice for
CIA director, will be quizzed
about White House national
security leaks and the use of
unmanned drones at his hear-
ing next month.
The job of the nations top
diplomat would be the real-
ization of a dream for Kerry,
whom Obama passed over in
2008 when he chose Clinton.
When Joe Biden became vice
president, Kerry replaced the
former Delaware senator as
chairman of the committee.
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J.,
the incoming chairman, will
preside at Kerrys hearing.
Obama nominated Kerry
after Susan Rice, the U.S.
ambassador to the United
Nations, removed her name
from consideration following
criticism from Republicans
over her initial comments
about the attacks on the U.S.
mission in Benghazi, Libya.
Kerry, 69, is the son of
a diplomat and has served
as Obamas unofficial envoy,
using his skills of persuasion
with leaders of Afghanistan
and Pakistan.
Although a rough hear-
ing is unlikely, Kerry will be
pressed about the civil war
in Syria and other hot spots,
foreign aid and the Keystone
XL oil pipeline, about which
hell have a major say.
More than half the Senate
urged quick approval of the
pipeline, increasing pressure
on Obama to move forward
on the project despite con-
cerns from environmentalists.
We urge you to choose
jobs, economic develop-
ment and American energy
security, wrote 53 senators,
who added that the pipeline
has gone through the most
exhaustive environmental
scrutiny of any pipeline in
U.S. history.

WASHINGTON
Retreating with a purpose,
Republicans sped legisla-
tion through the House on
Wednesday to avert the immi-
nent threat of a government
default but pointing the way
to a springtime budget strug-
gle with President Barack
Obama over Medicare, farm
subsidies and other benefit
programs.
The current legislation,
which cleared the House on
a bipartisan vote of 285-144,
would permit Treasury borrow-
ing to exceed the limit of $16.4
trillion through May 18. As it
passed, Speaker John Boehner
pledged that Republicans
would quickly draft a budget
that would wipe out deficits
in a decade, and he challenged
Democrats to do the same.
The Democratic-controlled
Senate is expected to approve
the debt bill as early as Friday
or perhaps next week. The
White House welcomed the
legislation rather than face
the threat of a first-ever
default at the dawn of the
presidents second term in the
White House, and spokesman
Jay Carney pointedly noted
a fundamental change in
strategy by the GOP.
House Republicans cast
the bill as a way to force the
Senate to draft a budget for
the first time in four years,
noting that if either house
fails to do so, its members
pay would be withheld. They
called the bill no budget, no
pay, a slogan if not a state-
ment of fact, since lawmakers
would be entitled to collect
their entire salaries at the end
of the Congress with or with-
out a budget in place.
With polls showing their
public support eroding, the
Republicans jettisoned,
for now at least, an earlier
insistence that they would
allow no additional borrow-
ing unless Obama and the
Democrats agreed to dollar-
for-dollar federal spending
cuts in exchange.
The average American
family cant buy everything
they want every day; they
have to make tough choices.
Its time to make Congress
make the same choices, said
Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich.,
underscoring the new
Republican rallying cry.
Rep. Paul Ryan, the
Wisconsin lawmaker who will
be responsible for drafting
the budget for Republicans,
said Congress has a moral
obligation to prevent a debt
crisis that he said will hit
hardest at seniors and others
who depend on government
the most.
As chairman of the House
Budget Committee, Ryan will
take the lead role in crafting
a blueprint expected to rely
heavily on savings from ben-
efit programs. The budget he
wrote last year before being
picked as the partys vice
presidential candidate was to
take two decades to achieve
balance.
Ryans 10-year-budget
task will be eased in part by
higher tax revenues resulting
from the Jan. 1 expiration of
a two-year payroll tax cut,
and in part from an antici-
pated $600 billion generat-
ed by raising rates on upper
incomes. But given the sheer
size of annual deficits in the
$1 trillion range, it will be
impossible to meet his goal
without taking large savings
from benefit programs such
as Medicare and Medicaid,
farm and student loan subsi-
dies, the federal retirement
program and more.
House Democrats made no
attempt to defend the Senates
failure to draft a budget over
the past three years, instead
saying a mere four-month
extension in the debt limit
would not give business and
the financial markets the cer-
tainty that is necessary for
the economy to grow more
quickly.
WASHINGTON (AP)
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton delivered
fiery rejoinders Wednesday to
Republican critics of the Obama
administrations handling of the
deadly attack on a U.S. mission
in Benghazi, facing off with
lawmakers who included poten-
tial 2016 presidential rivals.
At times emotional and fre-
quently combative, Clinton
rejected GOP suggestions in two
congressional hearings that the
administration tried to mislead
the country about the Sept. 11
attack that killed Chris Stevens,
the U.S. ambassador to Libya,
and three other Americans. She
insisted the State Department is
moving swiftly and aggressively
to strengthen security at diplo-
matic posts worldwide.
In her last formal testimony
before Congress as Americas
top diplomat but perhaps
not her last time on the politi-
cal stage Clinton again took
responsibility for the depart-
ments missteps and failures
leading up to the assault. But
she also said that requests for
more security at the diplomat-
ic mission in Benghazi didnt
reach her desk, and reminded
lawmakers that they have a
responsibility to fund security-
related budget requests.
Three weeks after her release
from a New York hospital
admitted for complications after
a concussion Clinton was
at times defiant, complimentary
and willing to chastise lawmak-
ers during more than 5 1/2 hours
of testimony before two sepa-
rate committees. She tangled
with some who could be rivals
in 2016 if she decides to seek
the presidency again. Her voice
cracking at one point, Clinton
said the attack and the aftermath
were highly personal tragedies
for the families of the victims
who died Stevens, Sean
Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen
Doherty as well as herself.
I stood next to President
Obama as the Marines car-
ried those flag-draped caskets
off the plane at Andrews. I put
my arms around the mothers
and fathers, sisters and broth-
ers, sons and daughters and the
wives left alone to raise their
children, she told the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee at
a packed hearing.
Clearly annoyed with
Republican complaints about the
initial explanation for the attack,
she rose to the defense of U.N.
Ambassador Susan Rice, who
was vilified for widely debunked
claims five days after the attack
that protests precipitated the raid
rather than terrorism.
Clinton said, People were
trying in real time to get to the
best information. And she said
her own focus was on look-
ing ahead on how to improve
security rather than revisiting
the talking points and Rices
comments.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.,
pressed her on why we were
misled that there were suppos-
edly protests and something
sprang out of that, an assault
sprang out of that.
With all due respect, the fact
is we had four dead Americans,
she said, her voice rising and
quivering with anger as she and
Johnson spoke over each other.
Was it because of a protest? Or
was it because of guys out for
a walk one night decided they
would go kill some Americans?
What difference, at this point,
does it make? It is our job to
figure out what happened and
do everything we can to prevent
it from ever happening again,
Senator.

Janet and her husband, Bob, have always loved walking together
with their dog, Maggie. Not only does this fun activity help them
stay in shape, it also brings them together as a couple. But when
Janet suddenly collapsed outside one day, Bob knew he
had to get help for his wife and fast.
Thats when the award-winning Heart
Specialists of St. Ritas performed
the operation that saved Janets life.
Today, Janet and Bob are still walk-

BASKETBALL STANDINGS

BATH TOWNSHIP
Jefferson senior Geoff
Ketcham garnered his 100th
career varsity wrestling win
in Wednesday nights quar-
terfinals of the OHSAA
State Dual Team Wrestling
Tournament at Bath High
School.
Unfortunately for the
Wildcats, not a lot else
went right as Northwest
Conference archrival
Spencerville eliminated them
45-21.
Sometimes success in the
postseason is all about tim-
ing, as Jefferson head man
Mike Wilson found out.
I had two guys with
skin issues (seniors
Quinten Wessell and Colin
McConnahea), one with
mono (Noah Illig) and one
with a broken wrist, Wilson
noted. We ended up having
to juggle the lineup and had to
void more weight classes. In
some of the matches we did
have, we got closer to oppo-
nents than we did before:
Gaige Rassman beat Derrick
Smith in a tough match;
Dylan Hicks went overtime
against Trevor Bockey when
he had lost to him three times
earlier this year; and Tanner
Vermule got closer when he
lost to Cory Binkley 6-1 in a
closer match than before. In
that, I am pleased with how
we wrestled.
In the upper weight class-
es, it was all about being
healthy or not at the
right time.
Quentin is our
220-pounder. Colin could
have wrestled at 195 he
was cleared by the doctor
today but we figured that
at that time, we could only
tie if everything went right
and that was not likely, so
we decided to give him more
time to recover from his skin
issue, Wilson added. It was
a tough choice but our goals
are beyond this tournament;
we have higher goals. We
want to get healthy for the
NWC, sectionals and so on.
We had beaten Spencerville
earlier 42-26, so I feel were
better than we could show
tonight. Right now, its about
getting healthy.
Ketcham was a bright spot
when he pinned Jake Bellows
in 5:08 at 285 pounds.
Im glad I could get my
100th tonight; Jake made
me earn it. I have wrestled
him a couple of other times
this year and beaten him, so
he knows my moves well,
Ketcham said. That made
me go to other moves Ive
been working on in practice,
which should help me down
the road. I have more goals
for this year: to do well at
the NWC, sectionals, district
and hopefully state. I got hurt
last year at the NWC meet
and couldnt move on, so I
want to do well in my senior
year. Its nice to get more
matches.
Spencerville coach Tom
Wegesin felt the evening was
a mixed bag.
This is the first year for
this tournament, so theyre
still working out the kinks
and things should be better
next year. In some ways, I am
pleased; in others, Im not,
he added. We lost a match at
126 when Derrick had beaten
Rassman earlier, so that was
disappointing. Trevors match
at 132 was closer than before
and at 138 was a great match
when Cory beat Vermule;
hes a good kid.
Fortunately for Wegesin,
he had depth where he need-
ed it.
We were fortunate we
could move wrestlers up and
take advantage of their voids
in the upper weight classes.
Our 195 (Lucas Shumate)
and 220 (Lucas Krouskop)
did well and our heavy-
weight, Jake Bellows, made
Ketcham earn his 100th,
Wegesin added. The key for
me was at 182 when our
freshman, Wyatt Krouskop,
went overtime to beat Hicks;
he gutted it through because
he was gassed.
We have wrestled these
guys in invitationals and
meets five times already and
we can possibly see them 3-5
times more this year.
Both teams are in the Lima
Central Catholic Invitational
starting 5 p.m. Friday.

Saying goodbye to The Man and The Grouch
Another hero from the Boys of
Summer is gone with the death of
Cardinal great Stan The Man Musial.
Another great memory of our col-
lective past, the traditions and person-
alities that made baseball the National
Pastime, are going the way of the
do-do. Do we still refer to them as the
Boys of Summer?
He retired before I entered this mor-
tal coil, so I can only speak from
watching past films and such, but he
was still a hero to many of us even
Reds fans! growing up.
He did it with class, even if he
wasnt the most sound player.
We wanted to be like those guys
current and retired playing in the
backyard or at the park and we had
their baseball cards.
As kids, the four youngest of the
Metcalfe clan I wont name names
but you know who we are! pre-
tended we were certain teams in the
backyard. Of course, the oldest always
chose the Reds, so I was either the
Orioles or the Cubs. If your batter was
left-handed, you had to bat lefty. The
only time this didnt apply was if your
pitcher was a lefty; Im not sure any of
us could have survived throwing lefty!
Whoever wasnt playing was either
the catcher or the umpire Lets not
go there!
Needless to say, I didnt do so well.
It was fun and a way to pass the
summer time.
Speaking of the Orioles, the long-
time former manager and bombastic
one, Earl The Earl of Baltimore
Weaver, also passed away.
In all honesty, I thought he was
already dead! Shows you what I know!
Those were some of the greatest
Orioles teams that regularly contended
for the World Series, back when they
did it the right way: build through
the farm system so that when someone
did leave because he wanted what was
thought to be too much money (in those
days), they had a replacement.
They and the Reds were the first
teams that I can really remember see-
ing (of course, I couldnt root for the
Dodgers since I hated them!), which
is why to this day I am a fan of those
teams no matter how rotten they
have been at times.
Weaver wore his emotions on his
sleeves was that such a bad thing?
As Jim Palmer was quoted the other
day, no one but his wife could have
called him a teddy bear.
Rest in peace.
I have a friend who is a big Notre
Dame fan and he is of the opinion that
I am going to write a hit piece on them
regarding the Manti Teo situation.
I assured him I would not because
I was never going to. Because he
mentioned it, I almost decided to but
changed my mind!
What this girlfriend hoax is really
all about is crazy but it happens.
He was embarrassed that he was so
easily fooled but who among us hasnt
perhaps fallen for a ruse from time to
time and then felt awkward admitting
it?
Perhaps the story did get him more
Heisman votes but until they poll
the voters, no one will really know.
Besides, since its so skewered toward
the quarterbacks to begin with think
about how the rules have changed so
much that if your QB ISNT putting up
big numbers, whats wrong with you?
that you almost need shenanigans
to get a defensive player to even be
considered. Should Notre Dame have
come clean about this earlier? Yes, but
I am not going to act as if they commit-
ted an act of pure evil.
What gets me about the story is how
the media beat itself up about the fact
that no one looked into this to make
sure it was true, that they were so
enamored of the story that they fell for
it hook, line and sinker.
Then they blamed the fact that
no one had the time to really do
the background check because of the
quick-hitting nature of our culture, how
everyone wants to get the story NOW
and hope its accurate. Thats what
happens when you forget your objec-
tivity and let your emotions, views or
whatever get the best of you. Its a les-
son that needs to be learned.
As I wrote last week about Lance
Armstrong, his confession to Oprah
Winfrey was as advertised.
I join millions of my followers
OK, 25! in still asking the question:
why now? You lied for all these
years, you somehow beat every test
which should be damning evidence of
how the tests are flawed and spent
all this money fighting the system and
now youre coming clean?
Perhaps it is good, old-fashioned
repentance he finally came to the
conclusion that what he was doing was
wrong which seems to be in the mix
by what he spoke about in the inter-
view, that at the time he was cheating,
he didnt feel it WAS cheating.
I do believe he is also looking out
for the best interest of his LiveStrong!
Foundation and that this might be the
best thing to do to keep that organiza-
tion viable. Its work that is truly need-
ed but it doesnt justify a lying life.
However, with the cynicism and
skepticism I have grown to have in
my life, much needed now after the
above Teo scenario, methinks it isnt
that clear-cut, that there is something
behind the scenes we dont know about.
He claims he had no help in beating
the tests but if this is true, this man is a
scientific genius.
The sports governing bodies want
him to come fully clean and I wonder
if this isnt the first salvo in a give me
this and Ill give you that scenario:
Ill name names if you We know
he wants to compete in competitions;
thats just who Lance Armstrong is.
When this chapter is history, I actu-
ally hope for the former resolution but
figure the latter is closer to the truth. Or
maybe both in some fashion.

By DENNIS PASSA
MELBOURNE, Australia
Victoria Azarenka had to
endure some anxious moments
before and after her win over
American teenager Sloane
Stephens.
Li Na wasnt flustered at
all in an easy victory over No.
2-ranked Maria Sharapova.
The result is that Li will play
for the Australian Open title
against Azarenka, who ended
Stephens unexpected run to
the semifinals that included a
quarterfinal upset of 15-time
Grand Slam champion Serena
Williams.
Another player who
had little trouble today was
defending champion Novak
Djokovic, who looked like he
was conducting a tennis clinic
in overpowering No. 4 David
Ferrer 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 in just 1
hour, 29 minutes.
Djokovic will attempt
to win his third consecutive
Australian Open when he plays
the winner of Fridays semi-
final between Roger Federer
and Andy Murray in Sundays
championship match.
While Lis 6-2, 6-2 win
over Sharapova, who set a
tournament record in drop-
ping only nine games in five
matches en route to the semis,
never appeared in doubt today,
Azarenka added some drama
in the second semifinal on Rod
Laver Arena.
Azarenka needed six match
points to finish off a 6-1, 6-4
victory over Stephens that
included a medical timeout
after the American broke her
serve to pull within 5-3 in
the second set. After leaving
the court for medical atten-
tion, the Belarusian returned
to break Stephens serve to end
the match.
Australian Open officials
said the tournament doctor
reported that Azarenka had left
knee and rib injuries.
The 23-year-old
Belarusians on-court com-
ments after the match led to
speculation about the timing
of her medical timeout. She
didnt help herself in a second
television interview after the
match that suggested the pres-
sure of trying to close out the
match was getting to her.
Stephens didnt think the
timing of the medical break
affected the outcome of the
match.

Grove matmen knocked

out of team tourney

COLUMBUS GROVE
Columbus Groves wres-
tlers knew they would have
their hands full against a good
Ayersville team Wednesday
night.
The Bulldogs found out
just how good the Pilots were.
Ayersville won four match-
es early and closed out the
dual with five straight wins
to defeat the Bulldogs 54-13
in the Division III regional
quarterfinal round of the first
ever state team wrestling tour-
nament.
The Bulldogs advanced to
face Ayersville after defeating
Antwerp 54-21 in the opening
match of the tournament. They
will face Wayne Trace, who
defeated Montpelier 55-21 in
their regional matchup.
After the Bulldogs Tregg
Keysor opened the match
with a 17-0 technical fall of
Ayersvilles Justin Howard,
the Piolts built an early lead as
they won the next four match-
es, two by pin, one by for-
feit and one by decision. The
Pilots closed out the match
with five straight wins, three
on pins and two decisions.
They are a real good
team, Columbus Grove
coach Eric Siefker said. If
we get a couple of moves to
go our way, we would have
been right there. We had our
best wrestlers against their
best wrestlers and they got us.
We are young I have three
freshman at the top of the
lineup and still learning.
I was proud of the way we
wrestled tonight. Everyone
wrestled really hard tonight.
Keysor recorded the first
of the Bulldogs three wins
against the Pilots, easily
defeating Ayersville freshman
Justin Howard 17-0. Keysor
led 14-0 after the first period,
then made a quick move in the
second period to get three back
points for the technical fall.
At 138 pounds, the Bulldogs
Christian Stechschulte posted a
14-5 major decision win over
the Pilots Daniel Acosta. The
match was tied 3-3 after the
first period before Stechschulte
scored five points in the sec-
ond period to take control. The
Bulldogs third win came at
160 pounds as Alec Gladwell
posted a 13-2 major decision
win over Jeremy Olivarez.
Gladwell was up 4-0 after the
opening period and 6-0 after
two periods.

Assistant Professor
OSU Extension Putnam County
After 2005 and the threat of Asian soybean
rust, many companies and producers began
regularly applying fungicides as an insurance
policy. Applying fungicides when no disease
symptoms are present is not a good best man-
agement practice. Not only is money wasted
but some fungi are now becoming resistant
to the general broad spectrum fungicides that
were applied.
Fungicide application to soybeans as they
enter R3 (reproductive growth stage) were
promoted because companies claim their
product increases yields by reducing drought
stress and increasing plant photosynthetic
activity. Dr. Karen Wise, a Purdue University
plant pathologist has been investigating these
claims. Dr. Wise says, Weve done research
on fungicides in the absence of disease for sev-
eral years now at Purdue. What weve found
is that when we dont have disease pressure
there - foliar diseases such as frogeye leaf spot
or Cercospora leaf blight - we dont often see
an economic benefit from a fungicide appli-
cation. We know that with soybean prices
what they are, that benefit would be something
to really capitalize on this year. But we just
dont see a consistent response, so it makes it
very hard to recommend those fungicides in
the absence of disease, Dr. Wise adds, Many
foliar diseases struggle to develop in hot, dry
weather, so this years excessive heat and
drought have kept disease pressure low. Wise
said applying unnecessary fungicides also
could lead to fungicide-resistant diseases. One
example is frogeye leaf spot, a major disease
of soybeans that already has resistant popula-
tions in five Midwestern and Southern states.
One of the big drawbacks to using fun-
gicides for these plant-health benefits is that
when we use the same mode of action over
and over again, we select for fungicide-
resistant strains of the fungus, Wise said.
Our standard recommendation is that fun-
gicides should be applied only when foliar
disease pressure is potentially yield-limiting.
According to Wise, soybeans and corn need a
level of disease greater than 5 percent for it to
be economical for fungicide application.
So the same logic applies to corn. Unless
a corn crop is at risk of developing fungal
diseases, farmers would be smart to skip
fungicide treatments that promise increased
yields, Says Dr. Wise, Fungicides used
in fields where conditions were optimal for
fungal diseases improved yields and paid for
themselves. In fields where fungal diseases
are unlikely to develop, however, applying a
fungicide is likely a waste of money.
About five years ago, we never used fun-
gicides in hybrid corn. Then there was this
push to use fungicides for yield enhancement,
even without disease problems, said Wise,
We found you would have to get a substantial
yield increase for a fungicide treatment to pay
for itself. We didnt see that yield increase on
a consistent basis, and it wasnt predictable.
Wise and her collaborators reviewed pub-
lished data from foliar fungicide tests in 14
states, as well as data from their own research,
to determine which circumstances led to yield
increases when using fungicides. They found
that a combination of several factors would
contribute to fungal disease - no-till fields,
fungus-susceptible hybrids, con-
tinuous corn, wet field conditions, etc. - needed
to be present for yields to increase with fungicide
applications.
Growers need to weigh the cost of the treat-
ments - usually $32-$34 per acre - against the
possible benefits and the price of corn. At low
corn prices, it takes a larger yield increase to
recoup the cost of a fungicide application.
Wise said the general rule at todays prices is
that growers need to see a yield increase of
about five to six bushels per acre to recover
their investment. The probability of losing
money on a fungicide application was 60 to 98
percent of the time if the disease level was less
than 5 percent.

Reward at http://extension.entm.purdue.edu/

The match of the night
in the second round was at
285 pounds as Groves Alex
Shaffer and Ayersvilles Griffin
Friesner went deep into over-
time. Friesner won the match
4-3 with an escape point in the
fourth overtime for the sudden-
victory win.
In the opening match of
the night, the Bulldogs were
up 18-15 when they won five
straight matches to take con-
trol of the match. Four of the
five wins came on pins for
Columbus Grove.
Sophomore Andrew Burgei
(152) started the winning streak
with a pin of Antwerps Colton
Hall in 5:02, while Gladwell
(160) pinned Colin Perry in
23 seconds, Brandon Benroth
(170) pinned the Archers
Mason Gerken in 59 seconds
and Will Selhorst (182) pinned
the Archers Austin VanAtta in
24 seconds. Adam Johnson won
by forfeit at 195 pounds for the
Bulldogs.
Shaffer finished the opening
round win by pinning Antwerps
Jarett Bute 12 seconds into the
second period.
The first match, we were
able to get some key wins from
some of more experienced wres-
tlers, Siefker said. Our young
guys are doing a good job but I
think they just need a little more
mat time to keep improving
their skills. Our young guys are
wrestling hard, so that improve-
ment will come as they get more
matches under their belt.
Grove is in Fridays opening
round of the LCC Invitational.

Cougar wrestlers top
Kenton, lose to Wauseon
in OHSAA Team
Wrestling Tournament
By JIM COX
DHI Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
WAUSEON - On Wednesday
in the first annual OHSAA
Team Wrestling Tournament
Division II Region 9-A
Van Wert first beat Kenton,
a team with no seniors, 46-21;
then lost to Wauseon, a team
with eight seniors, 77-6. Van
Wert was seeded 8th, Kenton
9th and Wauseon 1st in the
10-team Region 9-A. Wauseon
advances to meet 5th-seeded
Shawnee in next Wednesdays
regional semifinal at a site to be
announced. Shawnee eliminat-
ed 4th-seeded Napoleon 35-24
on the other mat at Wauseon
Wednesday evening.
Van Wert coach Ben Collins
likes the new team tournament
concept: I think its a good
idea for the sport, gets people
interested, gets matches for our
kids that dont count against
us on our schedule. Especially
with us being pretty young and
needing mat time, its good for
us. I think itll be interesting
further down the road, youll get
some exciting dual meets. Its
easier for fans to follow because
theres only one match at a time
and the team score is kept on the
board. There are a lot of states
that do it. Im all for it. Despite
losing three matches (106, 120,
182) by forfeit, Van Wert domi-
nated a youthful Kenton team
46-21 in the opening round of
the tournament. After the forfeit
at 106, double void at 113 and
forfeit at 120, Van Wert trailed
12-0 when freshman Andy
Hammond took the mat against
Kenton sophomore Tyler Wiess
at 126 pounds. Leading 9-3,
Hammond (10-16) got the pin
with 25 seconds left in the third
round and the Cougars were on
their way.
Freshman Jacob Crisenbery
(6-14) took an 8-3 decision at
132 to close the gap to 9-12.
Sophomore Quinton Rutkowski
(8-16) lost 10-5 at 132 to stretch
Kentons lead to 15-9 but other
than a forfeit at 182, Van Wert
didnt lose another one.
Senior Daniel Thompson
(18-8) tied the match at 15-15
by pinning his opponent at 1:05
of the first round at 145 pounds.
Freshman Ryan Stoller (9-12)
won by forfeit at 152 to lead
21-15. Senior Colten Royer
(23-8) picked up four points
with a 10-0 major decision in
the 160-pound class 25-15,
Cougars. The best match was at
170 pounds where senior Jordan
Daniels (15-14) topped Wildcat
sophomore Dylan Castle 9-6.
Daniels trailed 2-5 in the third
round before rallying with a
takedown (to make the score
4-5), intentionally allowing
Castle to escape (4-6), another
takedown (6-6), and a near fall
as the round ended (9-6). That
made it 28-15, Van Wert.
The forfeit at 182 made it
28-21 but junior Gabe Hill (14-
11) clinched it for Van Wert
with a second round pin at :06.
At 220, junior Zach Thomas
(16-10) got a pin with 1:22 left
in the second round. At 285,
senior Terrin Contreras (26-2)
made short work of sophomore
Nathan King, getting the pin
with 15 seconds left in the first
round.
The 126 (Hammond) and
132 (Crisenbery) matches were
key matches for us, added
Collins. We had lost both of
those two weeks ago when we
wrestled Kenton. Those guys
have been aiming at that for two
weeks. Our goal was to go 10-0
in matches against Kenton. We
went 9-1, which was a better
showing than the first time, so
were making progress.
It was a totally different
story in the quarterfinal match
against Wauseon, the states 8th-
ranked Division II team. The
Indians won four matches (106,
113, 120, 195) by forfeit, six by
first-round pins, two by second-
round pins and one by technical
fall. At 285 pounds, Van Wert
senior Terrin Contreras (27-2)
avoided the shutout by pinning
sophomore Keegan Mack with
1:10 left in the first round.
We knew coming in that they
(the Indians) were good, added
Collins. Were pretty young
down low (lower weights). We
have four seniors in our lineup.
After that, were really young,
really raw. Last week we lost to
Bath and I didnt feel too good
about our performance there.
Tonight we wrestled better. We
attacked. We tried to do the right
things. Were making strides.
Obviously, we want to be like
Wauseon, such a solid program.
After our duals tomorrow night,
well get in the room and well
get back to work at it. We
have film on it (the Wauseon
match). The young kids are
really good about going to my
room and watching it. Well
talk through it and theyre really
eager to learn, so they have the
makings to be really good.

Racers take Davenport to

the wire in WHAC loss
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.
For the second time this season,
the University of Northwestern
Ohio mens basketball team
faced No. 10 Davenport
University. And for the second
time, the Racers took the contest
to the wire before falling to the
Panthers, this time a 64-54 deci-
sion Wednesday in a Wolverine-
Hoosier Athletic Conference
game.
The Racers rallied from a
subpar first half, when they shot
33 percent from the floor and
had 10 turnovers, to cut what
was once a 15-point Davenport
lead to five with 3 minutes, 40
seconds to play in the game.
From there, though, Davenport
scored twice in the paint and
went 3-for-5 from the free throw
line to close out the game.
Johnny Elliott scored 13 of
his team-high 17 points in the
second half, joined by strong
second-half performances from
Josh Scott (11 of his 15) and
Derrick Tate (10 points and
seven rebounds of his 14 and
10).

The semifinal started badly
for the 25-year-old Russian,
serving double-faults to lose
the first two points and conced-

Li was the first Chinese

2011. She had her breakthrough
a few months later when she
won the French Open, beat-
ing Sharapova in the semifinals
along the way.
The crowd got behind Li
early in the match, yelling
Come on, Li Na! and oth-
ers yelling Jia You! which is
Come on in Chinese. After
she broke Sharapova to take a
5-2 lead, the Chinese fans in
the crowd shook Chinese flags
and shouted again, Jia You!

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Wife needs to protect
self while hubby
goes through
mid-life crisis
Dear Annie: After 44
years of marriage, I can no
longer trust my husband.
Steve reconnected with a
high school fame, and the
end result was late-night
emails, texts and calls. He
even bought throwaway
phones so they could stay in
touch and meet out of town.
We went for
counseling, and
Steve took a stack
of note cards to
the frst session
with ultimatums
for me. He ac-
cused me of being
a lesbian and hav-
ing affairs with
women at work
and in our neigh-
borhood. He then
shared the inti-
mate details of our
sessions with his
old fame and invited her to
come along! He wrote long
multiple-page letters and
slipped them to my therapist
when he thought I wasnt
watching. Recently, Steve
spent $12,000 of our money
on a facelift, and he has set
up at least 10 email accounts
to hide things from me.
He fnally promised to cut
off communication with this
woman unless it was about
the upcoming high school
reunion. We began to put
things back together, and
then he again initiated inti-
mate contact with her and
went to our high school re-
union without me.
Is there any hope of trust-
ing this man again? Or at age
64, am I looking at moving
on? The Faithful Wife
Dear Faithful: Steve
seems to be going through
a major mid-life crisis. The
old fame makes him feel
as if hes a teenager again.
And the facelift was intend-
ed to make him look like
one. Will he ever return to
Earth? There are no guaran-
tees. Please dont plan your
life around what Steve may
or may not do in the future.
Get some counseling on your
own, see a lawyer about pro-
tecting yourself, and fgure
out whether you are better
off with or without him right
now.
Dear Annie: I live in
a small community where
many people volunteer for
countless jobs, giving of
their time and talents. I have
a friend who is becoming
increasingly critical of ev-
eryones efforts, and it is
depressing to be in her com-
pany.
How do I tell her that we
are tired of her constant com-
plaining while still remain-
ing her friend? Im taking
out my hearing aids at our
next encounter. Florida
Dear Florida: Some
people, as they age, turn
into chronic complainers.
Sometimes there are medi-
cal reasons, but often, its
simply how they are. You
could nicely mention to
your friend that she seems
terribly unhappy because
nothing pleases her these
days, and then suggest she
see her doctor for a thor-
ough checkup. We
hope it helps.
Dear Annie:
Worried Grand-
ma was concerned
about her grand-
daughter, Kelly,
who had diffculty
modulating her
voice and felt that
men were turned
off by her loud per-
sonality.
Please tell her to
look into whether
Kelly has Asperger
syndrome, a form of high-
functioning autism. Asperg-
ers often goes undiagnosed
until later in life, but its pri-
mary symptom is extreme
social awkwardness and an
inability to appropriately
read the social cues of oth-
ers.
With special training,
Kelly can learn how to mod-
ify her behavior and pick up
on these social cues. But its
unlikely she can do it on her
own. A correct diagnosis can
go a long way toward repair-
ing her self-esteem. I hope
her parents will get Kelly the
help she needs to succeed in
this world. Vermont Pro-
fessor
Dear Vermont: Thanks
for your input. It is possible
that Kelly has a mild form
of Aspergers, although she
should see a medical profes-
sional to fnd out whether
this is the case. If it is, she
can contact aspergersyn-
drome.org for more informa-
tion.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 2013
Two relevant changes in your
basic lifestyle could
be in the offing in
the year ahead. Even
if you have nothing
to do with initiating
them, both are likely
to work out to your
ultimate advantage.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Dont be foolish enough to attempt
to do something that you failed
miserably at in the past. Unless you
profit from your mistakes, youre
destined to repeat them.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Even though your way of doing things
might be superior to others methods,
unless you handle matters in a humble
manner, others will be unwilling to
follow your lead.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Be careful what you say when making
a suggestion. Your intention might be
good, but your choice of words could
be offensive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Financial gains and losses are both
possible during this cycle, so unless
youre careful, poor judgment could
wreck your bottom line.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Its essential that you distinguish
between when to assert yourself and
when to back off. If you get your
signals crossed, you could end up
looking bad.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Even though youre usually pretty
good at keeping others secrets, if
youre not careful today, you could let
something slip out.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Although youll be exceptionally
practical and prudent in areas where
you have little to gain, strangely, you
might be somewhat foolish when it
comes to more costly matters. Reverse
that formula.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Your interests should never become
so important that youd do something
shameful. Maintain your high
standards at all times.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Advice to others based upon personal
knowledge and experience can be
extremely helpful. The opposite
would be true if you pretend to know
something you dont.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Be extremely careful, whether youre
handling your own fiscal affairs or
those of another. In either case, things
could become perilous if youre
sloppy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Its important that you dont
ignore wise counsel just because it
comes from someone you dont like,
while accepting the advice of a friend
whose judgment is usually poor.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Unless you schedule your
time well, you could become very
busy accomplishing nothing of
any importance. Be proficient, not
frenetic.

Combat
(Continued from page 1)
In addition to questions
of strength and performance,
there also have been sugges-
tions that the American pub-
lic would not tolerate large
numbers of women being
killed in war.
Under the 1994 Pentagon
policy, women were prohib-
ited from being assigned to
ground combat units below
the brigade level. A brigade
is roughly 3,500 troops
split into several battalions
of about 800 soldiers each.
Historically, brigades were
based farther from the front
lines, and they often included
top command and support
staff.
The necessities of com-
bat in Iraq and Afghanistan,
however, propelled women
into jobs as medics, military
police and intelligence offi-
cers that were sometimes
attached but not formally
assigned to battalions. So
while a woman couldnt be
assigned as an infantryman
in a battalion going out on
patrol, she could fly the heli-
copter supporting the unit, or
move in to provide medical
aid if troops were injured.
And these conflicts, where
battlefield lines are blurred
and insurgents can lurk
around every corner, have
made it almost impossible to
keep women clear of combat.
Still, as recent surveys and
experiences have shown, it
will not be an easy transi-
tion. When the Marine Corps
sought women to go through
its tough infantry course last
year, two volunteered and
both failed to complete the
course. And there may not
be a wide clamoring from
women for the more intense,
dangerous and difficult jobs,
including some infantry and
commando positions.
Two lawsuits were filed
last year challenging the
Pentagons ban on women
serving in combat, add-
ing pressure on officials to
overturn the policy. And the
military services have been
studying the issue and sur-
veying their forces to deter-
mine how it may affect per-
formance and morale.
The Joint Chiefs have
been meeting regularly on the
matter and they unanimously
agreed to send the recom-
mendation to Panetta earlier
this month.
A senior military official
familiar with the discussions
said the chiefs laid out three
main principles to guide them
as they move through the pro-
cess. Those were to maintain
Americas effective fighting
force, preserve military readi-
ness and develop a process
that would give all service
members the best chance to
succeed.
Women comprise about
14 percent of the 1.4 mil-
lion active military person-
nel. More than 280,000
women have been sent to
Iraq, Afghanistan or to jobs
in neighboring nations in sup-
port of the wars. Of the more
than 6,600 U.S. service mem-
bers who have been killed,
152 have been women.
The senior military offi-
cial said the military chiefs
must report back to Panetta
with their initial implementa-
tion plans by May 15.

DELPHOS The building that housed
the C. Scherger Monument Company, which
was started in 1874 by Constantine Scherger,
is being torn down this week. When the busi-
ness began, stones were cut using hammer
and chisel. Eventually more modern methods
were adopted, with pneumatic tools being
used for the carving, lettering and tracing.
The current building at 507 N. Main St.
stands in the same spot the original building
stood. In 1914, the first building was moved
back toward the Miami and Erie Canal to
make room for the new building, which
wouldve been 100 years old in 2014.
In the beginning, the firm was named
Delphos Marble & Granite Works until
Schergers oldest son John joined the com-
pany in 1892. The name was changed to
C. Scherger & Son. In 1905, the name was
changed again to C. Scherger & Sons with the
addition of Schergers younger sons Barney,
William and Joseph. When Constantine died
in 1917, the company was changed to C.
Schergers Sons. For 96 years, C. Scherger
Monument Co. was a family business.
John Scherger was manager until 1939,
when his son-in-law Henry J. Lange took
over. Lange was in charge until 1965, when
his son Thomas Lange took over. He held the
reins until 1970, when it was purchased by
Lloyd Bros. Walker Co., a firm in Toledo. At
that point, it was managed by Donald Nath,
who had no desire to change the name from
C. Scherger Monument Co.
Present-day owners of the property, Ken
and Diane Langhals, purchased the building
from Lloyd Bros. Walker in December 1996.
The Langhals donated the contents of the
building, which included old photographs,
ledgers and the company safe, to the Delphos
Canal Commission Museum. Diane Langhals
says they had intended to use the building for
the expansion of their business, K&M Tire.
We had planned to expand our business
and the Scherger building was an adjoining
property, she said. Eventually our business
grew to the point where we had to move, so
the building has been used mostly for storage.
We did have some offices in there at different
times but it was mainly storage space.
Langhals says they decided to take the
building down because it has disintegrated
over the years. Its just old and deteriorat-
ing, the roof leaks and its just falling apart,
she said. There arent really any plans for
putting anything in there now, most of it will
probably be used for parking space. It might
be paved over or there might be some grass
planted, well see.

Schools/Healthy Students
(SS/HS), is a unique Federal
grant-making program
designed to prevent vio-
lence and substance abuse
among our Nations youth,
schools, and communities
and strengthen healthy child
development. Since 1999,
school districts-in collabora-
tion with local mental health
and juvenile justice provid-
ers-have received grants
using a single application
process. These grantees are
implementing comprehensive
programs that address all of
the following five elements;
safe school environments and
violence prevention activi-
ties, alcohol and other drug
prevention activities, student
behavioral, social, and emo-
tional supports, mental health
services and early childhood
social and emotional learning
programs.
The grant was writ-
ten by the Putnam County
Educational Service Center
in Ottawa, OH.
The after school program
has been quite successful.
Parents, as well as the stu-
dents, are very enamored
with the volunteer based cur-
riculum.

WTC workers
scrawl graffiti of
defiance, hope
NEW YORK (AP) On
most construction projects,
workers are discouraged from
signing or otherwise scrawling
on the iron and concrete. At
the skyscraper rising at ground
zero, though, theyre being
invited to leave messages for
the ages.
Freedom Forever. WTC
9/11 is scrawled on a beam
near the top of the gleaming,
104-story One World Trade
Center. Change is from with-
in is on a beam on the roof.
Another reads: God Bless the
workers & inhabitants of this
bldg.
One of the last pieces of steel
hoisted up last year sits near a
precarious edge. The message
on it reads: We remember. We
rebuild. We come back stron-
ger! It is signed by a visitor to
the site last year President
Barack Obama.
The words on beams, walls
and stairwells of the sky-
scraper that replaces the twin
towers lost on Sept. 11, 2001,
form the graffiti of defiance
and rebirth, what ironworker
supervisor Kevin Murphy
calls things from the heart.
Theyre remembrances of the
2,700 people who died, and
testaments to the hope that rose
from a shattered morning.
This is not just any con-
struction site, this is a special
place for these guys, says
Murphy of the 1,000 men and
some women who work in the
building at any given time,
24 hours a day, seven days a
week.
Everyone here wants to
be here, they want to put this
building up, Murphy says.
Theyre part of the redemp-
tion.
On a frigid, windy winter
day, with the 9/11 memorial
fountain straight below and the
Statue of Liberty in the dis-
tance, Murphy supervised a
crew of men guiding the first
piece of the steel spire that will
top out the building at a dizzy-
ing 1,776 feet the tallest in
the Western Hemisphere.
In the rooftop iron scaffold-
ing for the spire, 105 floors
up, a beam pays homage to
Lillian Frederick, a 46-year-old
administrative assistant who
died on the 105th floor of the
south tower, pierced by a terror-
ist-hijacked airliner.
Security at Calif. dist. has high-powered rifles
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
FONTANA, Calif. The
semiautomatic rifles look like
they belong in a war zone
instead of a suburban public
school, but officials in this Los
Angeles-area city say the high-
powered weapons now in the
hands of school police could
prevent a massacre.
Fontana Unified School
District police purchased 14 of
the Colt LE6940 rifles last fall,
and they were delivered the first
week of December a week
before the Connecticut school
shooting. Over the holiday
break, the districts 14 school
police officers received 40
hours of training on the rifles.
Officers check them out for
each shift from a fireproof safe
in the police forces main office.
Fontana isnt the first dis-
trict to try this. Other Southern
California districts also have
rifle programs some that
have been in operation for
several years. Fontana school
police Chief Billy Green said he
used money from fingerprint-
ing fees to purchase the guns
for $14,000 after identifying a
critical vulnerability in his
forces ability to protect stu-
dents. The officers, who already
wear sidearms, wouldnt be
able to stop a shooter like the
one in Connecticut, he said
Wednesday.
Theyre not walking around
telling kids, Hurry up and get
to class with a gun around their
neck, the chief said. Parents
need to know that if there was a
shooter on their childs campus
that was equipped with body
armor or a rifle, we would be
limited in our ability to stop that
threat to their children.
Some parents and students,
however, reacted with alarm to
the news that school resource
officers were being issued the
rifles during their shifts. The
officers split their time among
44 schools in the district and
keep the rifles in a safe at their
assigned school or secured in
their patrol car each day before
checking the weapon back in to
the school police headquarters
each night.
Only sergeants trained for
years to use the rifles are autho-
rized to check out the rifles
from the police armory, where
they are kept.
Still, James Henriquez, 16, a
sophomore who just enrolled at
Fontana High School this week
after moving from Texas, was
wary.
If the wrong person gets
ahold of the gun, then we have
another shooter going around
with a gun. What happens
then? he asked.
Other students said they felt
disillusioned that officials would
spend money on semiautomatic
rifles while the district eliminated
its comprehensive guidance coun-
seling program two years ago.
They should get guns, but
not as many and not spend so
much money on them, said
student Elizabeth Tovar. They
should use the money to get
back our counselors because a
lot of us really need them.
