Domestic violence: An aggressive extension of bullying
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS This past Au-
gust, when a case involving a his-
tory of domestic violence between
a local couple escalated to murder,
Delphos residents and surrounding
communities were reminded of the
harsh reality that no populace is
immune to the threat of domestic
violence.
Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fit-
tro said in the case of Patrick and
Gerri Collar, they had issues prior
to the homicide occurring and of-
cers were called to the residence
on a number of occasions.
Its the only domestic-based
homicide Ive seen in a long time,
Fittro reported. Typically, the de-
partment responds to around 80
domestic calls for service per year.
Fittro said of the calls this year,
16 people were arrested with 14 of
them men and two women.
Partnership for Violence Free
Families Ohio Certied Preven-
tion Specialist Donna Dickman
said domestic violence is real,
people die from it, and they can
get help. She said its roots start at
a young age, when young children
are 3-5 years-old and are bullying
one another to get their way.
Domestic violence is an exten-
sion of bullying and the aggression
escalates through life, Dickman
said. As teenagers, both girls and
boys are perpetrators and it be-
comes more of a way of life for
males who become primary perpe-
trators.
She said one in four kids have
experienced emotional or physical
abuse in a dating relationship.
Kids see it everywhere and
there are more ways in which they
are bullied,she said. Not only is it
in the home, at school and on tele-
vision and in video games, technol-
ogy has added a new dimension in
the form of cyber stalking.
She said kids often dont have
healthy relationships or positive
role models to look up to.
Since 1990 in Allen County,
there have been 26 people mur-
dered due to domestic violence,
Dickman detailed. Six of those
were children, one was a man mur-
dered by his brother and the re-
maining victims were women.
Its a learned behavior and chil-
dren take on the role as a victim,
abuser or both.
If a child grows up seeing his/
her mother being beat and learns
that hiding for ve minutes in-
conspicuously, it will go away, the
child might live their whole life
thinking hiding will x all their
problems, Dickman said. There
are some very dangerous routines
people have adopted.
On Sept. 17, 2013, the National
Network to End Domestic Violence
conducted an annual one-day cen-
sus of adults and children seeking
domestic violence service within
a 24-hour period in the United
States.
In Ohio, on that day alone,
1,040 domestic violence victims
577 children and 463 adults
found refuge in emergency shelters
or transitional housing provided by
local domestic violence programs
and 977 adults and children re-
ceived non-residential assistance
and services, including counseling,
legal advocacy and childrens sup-
port groups.
High school
students learn the
value of the dollar

OTTOVILLE Ottoville and Fort Jen-
nings eighth- and ninth-grade students partici-
pated in Real World, Real Money, a simulated
scenario that puts each student through the rig-
ors of real-world nancial responsibility.
Ohio State University Putnam County
Extension Representative Jason Hedrick ex-
plained the task and goal of the simulaation.
Each student takes on the role of a recent
college graduate, is given a check registry and
salary with a budget broken down, he said.
They travel to each booth where they speak
with a professional and buy a house, insur-
ance, vehicle, clothing, food, and factor in
child day care and credit card and school loan
payments, all the while, trying to stay within
their budget.
Fort Jennings students Makenna Ricker
and Marissa Krietemeyer said they both en-
joyed the simulation and were both surprised
as to how much it costs per month to purchase
food and clothing for a family.
In my prole, I had one seven-year-old
child and my biggest surprise was the cost of
food, Krietemeyer said, Life is full of ob-
stacles and we have to budget our money as
best we can.
What kind of job and the number of kids
you have affect how much you can spend, she
detailed. It was $400 per month for clothing.
Ottoville students Derek Kemper, Nick
Moorman and John Knippen each thought the
simulation gave them insight into the cost of
living.
I was surprised by how much it costs for a
house and a car, Moorman said.
Kemper said the exercise taught him he
would have to spend his money wisely.
I found out just how expensive kids are,
Knippen said. It puts how much our parents
pay for us into perspective.
Fort Jennings Guidance Counselor Mindy
Losh said the simulation is extremely helpful
for the students.
As seniors, they will go to Ottawa for a
similar exercise, Losh explained. During
that simulation, students will be allowed to
choose their jobs and get more choices when
it comes to what they purchase.
Michelle Leach, Ottoville Guidance Coun-
selor, said with the students being so young
and not able to choose their career, they have
to work with the proles they are dealt.
Some are single, others are married with
children and each have budget variables,
Leach said. They have to make the best
judgement call.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE/A14

Times Bulletin Editor

VAN WERT Agricultural
land values in Van Wert County
are streaking upward this year
according to Van Wert County
Auditor Nancy Dixon.
Its all because of the Cur-
rent Agricultural Use Valuation
program, Dixon told the Times
Bulletin. Were not going up
anywhere except in agricultural
land, and thats ordered by the
state. Since residential and ag-
ricultural are taxed as one, the
tax rate is adjusted on the two to-
gether. If one goes up, the other
goes down a little bit, so residen-
tial will go down a little bit as ag
is going up.
The land values for crop land
look to be going up 124 percent.
That will mean some adjustment
on taxes due during the next
three years.
Dixon reported, Another
problem coming, though, is the
schools are going to hit the 20
mill floor. Thats a floor you
cant go below on the general
fund. Crestview hit it at reap-
praisal time. Lincolnview and
Van Wert are going to hit it this
time. So that stops us from re-
ducing the millage as much as
we would have. Vantage cant go
below two mills, but this wont
affect them.
Van Wert County is one of the
approximately 60 of Ohios 88
counties to go through this pro-
cess this year. Also affected are
Mercer, Auglaize, and Putnam.
Dixon noted that landowners can
see the new property values on-
line at www.co.vanwert.oh.us/.
You can see the values there
or stop in at the Auditors Office
and well be happy to help them
out, Dixon said.
Tax bills probably will be due
in January, according to Dixon.
She said it usually takes until
December to get the rates from
the state and to get the bills sent
out.

Suspect arrested in death
of two California deputies
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) A man armed with an as-
sault rie shot three sheriffs deputies and a civilian, killing
two of the deputies and leading dozens of police ofcers on
a wild six-hour chase and manhunt Friday that spanned two
Northern California counties before the 34-year-old suspect
was taken into custody.
Marcelo Marquez, of Salt Lake City, was taken alive Friday
afternoon from a home in Auburn in Placer County after the
initial shooting hours earlier in a strip mall in a commercial
area of Sacramento, said Placer County Sheriffs spokeswom-
an Dena Erwin.
This guy was on a one-man crime spree today. He has no
idea of the damage he did, she said.
The four shootings sparked a massive manhunt by multiple
agencies backed by search dogs, helicopters and armored ve-
hicles. Residents nearby were told to stay indoors, and schools
were locked down during the search. The owner of the home
said ofcers used tear gas to drive the suspect from the base-
ment.
The slaying of the deputies was the single deadliest day for
California law enforcement since February 2013. In separate
incidents that month, former Los Angeles police ofcer Chris-
topher Dorner killed two law enforcement ofcers, and two
Santa Cruz police detectives were shot and killed.
A woman who was with the suspect earlier was also taken
into custody in Placer County, and authorities said she had a
handgun in her purse. Marquez was taken to a hospital before
he could be booked into jail, Erwin said.
Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said the deadly
chain of events began when Deputy Danny Oliver, 47, ap-
proached a suspicious occupied vehicle in a motel parking lot
around 10:30 a.m. and was shot in the forehead at close range.
Oliver, the rst county deputy killed since 2008, was a 15-year
veteran who leaves behind a wife and two daughters.
He was not able to return re or do anything, Jones said.
He said Olivers partner was able to shoot back as the vehicle
ed the scene.
We live as a family, today we grieve as a family, Jones
said.
The driver of the vehicle and a female passenger ed the
scene. About a mile away, the suspect attempted to steal a car
in a residential area, but shot the driver in the head when he
refused to give up his keys, Jones said. He did not know the
condition of that victim but said he was alive and conscious
when he was transported.
The assailants then stole a red Ford pickup from Jose Cruz,
who was gardening outside a clients house in Sacramento.
Cruz told The Sacramento Bee that a man in a white Ford
Mustang convertible told him he needed a favor: I need your
keys, the man said. Hurry up, because theyre chasing me.
Cruz said the man pointed a gun at him and had a bloody
shirt wrapped around his other arm.
I feel lucky that he didnt hurt me, Cruz said.
The suspects then ed to neighboring Placer County, about
30 miles north of Sacramento, where the assailant allegedly
shot two Placer County sheriffs deputies in Auburn.
Erwin said a resident reported seeing a vehicle that matched
the description of the stolen red truck. Deputies swarmed the
area, and the suspect shot two deputies with an AR-15-type as-
sault weapon before eeing into a wooded canyon area, Erwin
said. She did not immediately release the deputies names or
other identifying information, but she said the second Placer
County deputy was shot in the arm and was expected to sur-
vive.
Man launches hatchet
attack on police ofcers
NEW YORK (AP) A
brazen daylight hatchet attack
against a group of police of-
cers on a busy New York street
was a terrorist act by a reclusive
Muslim convert who ranted on-
line against America but had
no clear ties to international
extremists, the police commis-
sioner said Friday.
Police were examining Zale
Thompsons computer for clues
about a motive for the Thursday
assault that left one of the of-
cers seriously injured and ended
with Thompson being killed by
police. Police Commissioner
William Bratton said Thomp-
sons browsing history included
organized terror groups, be-
headings and the shooting in
Canada earlier this week that
ofcials there have called a ter-
rorist attack.
Thompson was not on any
watch lists, and ofcials found
no indication he sought any
training or afliation to any
groups.
Bratton said investiga-
tors were trying to determine
whether the attack was planned
or spontaneous but believe
Thompson was self-radicalized.
His father told ofcials he con-
verted to Islam about two years
ago and was described as a re-
cluse who had been depressed
lately.
Bratton said he was comfort-
able calling it a terrorist attack.
This was a terrorist attack,
certainly, Bratton said.
But he also stopped short
of including the attack in the
list of terror plots against the
city since Sept. 11, 2001, say-
ing the investigation was con-
tinuing.
Thompson, 32, had once
served in the U.S. Navy and had
a history of run-ins with the law
over domestic violence in Cali-
fornia in 2003 and 2004, po-
lice said. In recent postings on
social media, he ranted about
injustices in American society
and oppression abroad, but the
postings didnt point to any af-
liation with a terror group or
direct inuence of radical Is-
lam, they said.
Security video and witness
accounts appeared to leave no
doubt that Thompson purposely
targeted four rookie New York
Police Department ofcers who
were in uniform and on foot pa-
trol in a bustling Queens com-
mercial district.
In this frame grab taken from video provided by
the New York Police Department, an unidentied
man approaches New York City police ofcers with
a hatchet, Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014, in the Queens
borough of New York. The man injured two with the
hatchet before the other ofcers shot and killed
him, police said. A bystander was wounded in the
gunre. Investigators were still trying to conrm the
identity of the assailant and determine a motive.

INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS No Hal-
loween costume or decora-
tion is as scary as the con-
sequences of drunk driving.
This Halloween, remember
that Buzzed Driving is Drunk
Driving, and the Ohio State
Highway Patrol will be crack-
ing down on impaired driv-
ers to keep roadways safe for
travel.
According to the National
Highway Trafc Safety Ad-
ministration, almost half (48
percent) of all motor vehicle
trafc fatalities on Halloween
night in 2012 involved a drunk
driver. In 2012 alone, 26
people were killed in drunk-
driving crashes on Halloween
night.
The Patrol takes the crime
of impaired driving seriously,
said Colonel Paul A. Pride,
Patrol superintendent. The
tragedies caused by drunk
driving are easily preventable,
and everyone should do their
part by refraining from driv-
ing while impaired.
In addition, agents with
the Ohio Investigative Unit
are reminding everyone who
is under 21 that it is against
the law to purchase, possess
or consume alcohol. It is also
illegal to furnish alcohol to
anyone who is underage or in-
toxicated.
Bar staff need to verify
the ages of patrons, to ensure
that everyone ordering and
consuming alcohol is at least
21 or older. Agents are also
asking for bar staff to look
out for their patrons dont
over-serve anyone and keep
a watchful eye for drugged
drinks.
Agents will be assisting
local and state law enforce-
ment agencies with trace-back
investigations stemming from
alcohol involved crashes or in-
cidents.
Following these simple tips
can help ensure that everyone
enjoys their Halloween cel-
ebration:
Be responsible by not
drinking and driving. Desig-
nate a sober driver before fes-
tivities begin, or plan to use a
taxi or public transportation.
Drink responsibly if you
are 21 or older. Bartenders or
friends may refuse to serve
you. Do not drink if you are
younger than 21.
If you see an impaired
driver on the road, call #677
to report it. You might save a
life.
Be safe while
celebrating this

LIMA The West Ohio Food Bank is
pleased to announce a meaningful partnership
that is expected to generate 50,000 meals dur-
ing a November promotion.
Fresh Encounter, Inc., the parent company
of local Great Scot and Community Market
stores has committed to donating eight meals
for every turkey purchased from one of their
stores. The promotion begins on Nov. 1 and
continues through November.
The campaign, called Thanks for Giving,
is expected to generate 50,000 meals for the
West Ohio Food Bank.
Gary Bright CEO of the West Ohio Food
Bank sums it up best stating, The simplicity
of this program makes it appealing in that all
you need to do is buy any whole turkey any
time in the entire month of November and our
partners at Fresh Encounter (Great Scot and
Community Market) will make a donation di-
rectly to us.
Bright continued, Its partnerships such as
this, especially in an economy like ours, that
allows us to provide for those in need.
The West Ohio Food Bank serves 11 coun-
ties, more than 210 programs and anticipates
delivering more than 6,000,000 meals through
2014. While that number may seem impres-
sive, the Feeding America Hunger Study indi-
cates that the Meal Gap in our service area is
about 12,000,000 meals.
Bright stated, Taking a bite of that 12
million meals goal with a donation of 50,000
meals is incredibly helpful and shows just how
committed our partners are to Ending Hunger
Together.
Bright continued, I would like to express
thanks to all of the area residents who take
advantage of this wonderful promotion by
seeking out their local Community Market
and Great Scot store and buying a Thanks for
Giving turkey.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, October 25 & Sunday, October 26, 2014 5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
It was the worst day for the U.S.
Marines since the end of the Viet-
nam War.
The objective for U.S. troops in
Lebanon was a classic demonstration
of the military term mission creep.
In June of 1982, Israel invaded Leba-
non as a part of Peace for Galilee,
an operation intended to create a
buffer zone between PLO guerrilla
and Syrian forces and Israeli settle-
ments. The U.S. had agreed to the
operation in principle and provided
military support with arms and sup-
plies. However, from the very rst
moment, the mission was never quite
what U.S. ofcials envisioned with
the invasion seizing more ground
and initiating more ghting than
planned, with Syria controlling what
parts of the country Israeli forces did
not. This support fostered resentment
in many parts of the Muslim world.
In August with ghting and ter-
rorist acts still raging, Lebanon
elected a new president, Bachir Ge-
mayel, and two days later, a multi-
national force consisting of French,
U.S. Marines, and Italian forces were
deployed to facilitate the evacuation
of the PLO ghters. This was despite
the fact there were never plans for
American troops to be in country. By
the middle of September, the PLO
had retreated and all U.S. Marines
had left Lebanon as well.
Four days after the last PLO ght-
er ofcially left Lebanon, Presi-
dent Gemayel was assassinated. Two
days later, a Lebanese Christian mi-
litia massacred approximately 3,000
Palestinian and Lebanese Shiite ref-
ugees. In response, Amine Gemayel,
Bachirs brother, was elected to ll
the presidential position. At the end
of the month, U.S., French and Ital-
ian forces were ordered back into the
country.
In a last, desperate attempt for
peace, the U.S. tried to negotiate a
treaty between Israel and Lebanon in
May of 1983. Even during the talks,
ghting still raged in the streets with
Syrian forces. The plan failed and
multi-national troops remained in
the country.
As a part of the failure of the
peacekeeping mission, the U.S. pro-
vided naval gun support on more
than one situation for the Lebanese
soldiers while ghting the Syrians.
The French, in turn, also added air
support in several occasions. This
transparent lack of neutrality only
added to the growing resentment.
In analysis now, it is easy to see
how the mission radically morphed
from what was originally planned,
while each individual decision ap-
peared to be the correct answer. Isra-
el was only to create a 40 km. buffer
zone but the ghting continued well
past that spot as they pursued Syrian
and PLO forces. The U.S. never in-
tended to have boots on the ground
but sent troops as part of a multi-na-
tional peacekeeping mission. Ameri-
cans were never supposed to be in-
volved with ghting but naval guns
were red to drive back Syrians from
the Lebanese camps.
With the referees now taking
sides, the radical forces searched for
retribution. A Mercedes-Benz truck
drove into the Beirut International
Airport, pretending to be a water
truck that was expected by U.S. of-
cials. The driver circled the park-
ing lot once before crashing through
a ve-foot barrier of wire fencing,
weaving passed two sentry posts, and
then destroying a chain link fence
and guard shack. The truck smashed
into the lobby of the barracks and the
explosives were detonated, collaps-
ing the four-story building.
Within seconds, a second truck
bomb exploded at the nine-story
Drakkar building where the French
troops were stationed.
In the aftermath, 299 American
and French troops were killed along
with more than 20 Lebanese civil-
ians. The attack directly led to the
end of the peacekeeping mission and
the withdrawal of forces from the
country.
Here now is a reprint of the Octo-
ber 24, 1983, Times-Bulletin article
detailing the early hours after the
attack on the U.S. Marine base in
Beirut.
Attack on Beirut barracks leads to worst day for U.S. Marines since Vietnam
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - U.S.
Marines reinforced security barri-
ers, bulldozed smoldering rubble
and awaited replacements today af-
ter a suicide terrorist bombing that
killed 161 comrades, left as many
as 50 dead under tons of concrete
and wounded about 80.
A second terrorist bombing
seconds later killed 22 French sol-
diers, left 36 missing and wounded
15, the French Defense Ministry
said. French President Francois
Mitterand made a surprise visit
to inspect the carnage but told re-
porters: I have no declarations to
make.
The Marines added sentries, set
up more checkpoints and parked
large trucks across all roads lead-
ing to their compound at Beiruts
international airport, forcing all
vehicles to halt for security shake-
downs before being allowed to
pass.
The Pentagon gave the Ameri-
can death toll as 161 from Sundays
blast, but U.S. Marine ofcials in
Beirut said as many as 50 Marines
and Navy men might still be buried
in the wreckage of the command
post with no hope they survived. At
least two bunk areas and the base-
ment were still covered with tons of
concrete.
Theres nobody alive in there
now, Marine spokesman Maj.
Robert Jordan said of the Marines
command center. No, it would be
a miracle.
Jordan said up to 300 Marines
and Navy men may have been in
the four-story command center at
Beirut airport when it was blown
up early Sunday by a ton of TNT in
a red pickup truck driven by a sui-
cide terrorist. He said about 80
American troops were wounded.
About a mile away and only sec-
onds later, another vehicle packed
with explosives blew up a nine-sto-
ry building housing French troops.
After a night of frantic clawing
through the rubble, rescue workers
rescued one Frenchman live today,
ofcials said.
A hitherto unknown group
called the Islamic Revolutionary
Movement claimed responsibility
for the blasts a few hours after the
bombings, telling the French news
agency, Agence France-Presse,
it would not rest until Beirut was
controlled by revolutionary Mos-
lems and the combative democratic
youth. U.S. ofcials in Washing-
ton suggested the attackers might
be linked with Iran.
But Iran today denied any con-
nection with the bombing. Its
ofcial Islamic Republic News
Agency, monitored in Nicosia, said
the Americans were trying to link
Iran to the attack in order to lay the
groundwork for deployment of U.S.
troops in the Persian Gulf.
Late Sunday evening, Marine
replacements took off from Cherry
Point Marine Air Station, 60 miles
northeast of Camp Lejeune, N.C.
They were to bring the 24th Ma-
rine amphibious unit in Beirut back
up to strength, Maj. Gen. Al Gray,
commander of the 2nd Marine
Division, told reporters at Camp
Lejeune.
He said the morale of the Ma-
rine replacements was at a fever-
pitch high.
President Reagan told reporters
in Washington his commitment to
keeping the Marines in Lebanon
was unshaken, and that he was
more determined than ever that
the forces battling Lebanons gov-
ernment cannot take over that vi-
tal and strategic part of the Earth.
He dispatched the Marine com-
mandant, Maj. Paul X. Kelly, to
Beirut to determine how American
forces could be better protected.
The Marines who were killed
or wounded had been in Lebanon
since June and were due to be sent
back to the United States before
Thanksgiving. The unit that had
been scheduled to relive them was
diverted to the Caribbean last week
following the coup in Grenada.
U.S. Marines continued claw-
ing through the rubble today in
hopes of nding comrades still
alive. The leathernecks, some clad
only in bloodstained underwear,
dug through the debris and combed
the ground littered with shattered
glass, singed clothing, helmets, and
cooking pots.
Others stood and sobbed,
stunned by the sight of the massa-
cre, the worst attack on the multi-
national peacekeeping force since
it arrived in Lebanon 14 months
ago and the heaviest loss of life for
a U.S. military unit since the Viet-
nam War.
Medics and survivors laid out
dead Marines in rows, their bare
feet protruding from beneath blan-
kets and other coverings.

This week in 1939, Zanes-
ville, Ohios best-selling au-
thor Zane Grey succumbed to
heart failure and died at the
age of 67. Grey had introduced
whole new worlds of adventure
to millions of readers, in par-
ticular setting the basis for the
Western genre. His most popu-
lar work, Riders of the Purple
Sage, was published in 1912.
Although he died in 1939, Grey
was such a prolic writer he left
enough completed manuscripts
for his publisher to produce a
new title every year until 1963.
It is estimated he published
more than nine million words
in his career.
Mrs. Joseph Wieging, Jen-
nings Street, received the
members of the Happy Twelve
Club into her home for a mas-
querade. Mrs. Fred Wiechart
and Mrs. O. G. Miller received
the costume awards. Bunco
was played and at the end of
the games, Mrs. Cloyd Berry
held high score, Mrs. Fred
Wiechart, second, and Mrs.
Fred Redmon was consoled.
Admiral Richard E. Byrds
massive snow cruiser rolled
through Van Wert without
stopping, days behind schedule
following multiple breakdowns
east of Chicago. The trip would
not last much longer as the fol-
lowing day the cruiser crashed
into a ditch near Gomer and
was badly damaged. Two new
motors were being sent in from
Erie, Pennsylvania, to replace
broken equipment. Ohio State
Highway Patrol ofcials es-
timated at least 125,000 area
residents had stopped by to
see the wounded cruiser which
was on its way to Boston before
being shipped to the Antarctic.
Nitroglycerine wagon passed

A wagon heavily loaded with nitro-
glycerin passed through town on Second
street from the east, going to the Landeck
oil eld. The stuff was supplied by the
Findlay Glycerin Co.

Right of Way

D.M. Fisher, of Lima, is looking up
the prospects of getting right-of-way on
Second street for the east and west trac-
tion line. It is expected to come to the
corporation, north of the Pennsy. tracks
and then north through the lane that
leads to the residence of John Summers,
to Second St.

today. They will go into camp, expecting
to remain for two weeks.

The Bismark Hotel

Another hotel change took place in
Delphos today. The Bismark, which has
been closed for a few weeks since Cliffe
& Meyers gave up the management of
the house, has been sold by Mrs. Roby
to W.H. Crites of Kempton, O., a former
conductor on the Clover Leaf land well-
known to the railroad men and the citi-
zens of Delphos in general.

Band Being Organized

In Public School
The rst combined practice of the
band which is being organized in the
Delphos Public Schools was held at the
Jefferson school Thursday afternoon.
The prospects for the band are now
excellent. Thirty-two pupils of the school
are taking lessons to enable them to play
the various instruments.
The great difculty, Supt. E.W. Bell
states, is to secure needed instruments. A
few pupils have purchased their own and
it is hoped others will do so soon. The
school has purchased a number of used
instruments. Only a small amount of
money is in the music fund now.

Slot Machines and

Punch Boards Must Go
A war against slot machines and other
gambling devices has been started by the
Delphos City ofcials.
A slot machine was picked up by Chief
Edwards at the T. & L. grocery. A hear-
ing will be held, at which the owners of
the store and owner of the machine will
be heard. Carl Lechleitner will be called
in as owner of the machine, according to
the ofcials.
Mayor Williams and Chief Edwards
state that all slot machines and punch
cards must go. They state that complaints
have been received from parents con-
cerning these devices, as children have
been playing them.

Death of
Casper Pohlman
Wednesday morning occurred the
death of Casper Pohlman, one of the suc-
cessful farmers of Marian Township. Mr.
Pohlman passed away at his home two
miles east of Delphos on the Gomer road.
Mr. Pohlman was prostrated by the heat
several weeks ago resulting in death.
Deceased was born in Putnam Co.,
Feb. 1, 1844 and died August 14, 1901
at the age of 57 years. He was reared on
a farm and after receiving a common
school education, he took up the trade of
blacksmithing in Delphos for 17 years.
He was married on May 10 to Miss Jose-
phine ??. She died in 1872. To them were
born two children, Joseph and Anna.
The latter is now Mrs. Joseph Kroeger.
Mr. Pohlman remarried, taking as his
second wife, Miss Margaret Schmitz. To
this union were born 11 children, ten of
whom are still living as follows: Frank,
Bernard, Charles, Alexander, Josephine,
Julia, Katie, Antone, Henry and Willie.
In 1878, Mr. Pohlman abandoned his
trade and moved to a farm of 83 acres,
two miles east of Delphos, to which he
added many more acres during the years
that followed. Mr. Pohlman was the old-
est member of St. Johns choir and was
a very devout and active member of the
church.

Richard Byrd
Discovers New
Territory
The New York Times announced last
week that Commander Richard E. Byrd
in an extensive airplane ight, made with
two planes, discovered a vast new terri-
tory in the Antarctic, which he claimed
for the United States and named for his
wife, Maria Byrd Land.
Commander Byrd also has discovered
a second new mountain range, east and
south of the rst discovered by him re-
cently and named it Rockefeller Range.
That range is within territory claimed by
the British and known as the Ross De-

BY DOUG ESSER
Associated Press
MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) A student recently crowned
freshman class Homecoming prince walked into his Seattle-
area high school cafeteria Friday and opened re, killing one
person and shooting several others in the head before turning
the gun on himself, ofcials and witnesses said.
Students said the gunman was staring at students as he shot
them inside the cafeteria at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.
The shootings set off a chaotic scene as students ran from the
cafeteria and building in a frantic dash to safety, while others
were told to stay put inside classrooms at the school 30 miles
north of Seattle.
The gunman was identied as student Jaylen Fryberg, a gov-
ernment ofcial with direct knowledge of the shooting told The
Associated Press. The ofcial spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Students and parents said Fryberg was a member of a promi-
nent family from the nearby Tulalip Indian tribe and a fresh-
man who played on the high school football team. He was in-
troduced at a football game as the schools 2014 Homecoming
court freshmen class prince, according to a video shot by parent
Jim McGauhey.
Marysville Police Commander Robb Lamoureux said the
gunman died of a self-inicted wound, but he could not provide
more details.
Shaylee Bass, 15, a sophomore at the school, said Fryberg
had recently gotten into a ght with another boy over a girl.
He was very upset about that, said Bass, who was stunned
by the shooting.
He was not a violent person, she said. His family is known
all around town. He was very well known. Thats what makes
it so bizarre.
Three of the victims had head wounds and were in critical
condition. Two young women were taken to Providence Everett
Medical Center, and a 15-year-old boy was at Harborview Med-
ical Center in Seattle, hospital ofcials said. Another victim, a
14-year-old boy, was listed in serious condition at Harborview
as well, the hospital said.
Witnesses described the shooter as methodical inside the
cafeteria.
Brian Patrick said his daughter, a freshman, was 10 feet from
the gunman when the shooting occurred. She ran from the caf-
eteria and immediately called her mother.
Patrick said his daughter told him, The guy walked into the
cafeteria, pulled out a gun and started shooting. No arguing, no
yelling.
A crowd of parents later waited in a parking lot outside a
nearby church where they were reunited with their children.
Buses pulled up periodically to drop off students evacuated
from the school. Some ran to hug their mothers and fathers.
STORY OF THE DAY
Police: Two dead
in school attack
NEW YORK (AP) Alarmed
by the case of an Ebola-infected New
York doctor, the governors of New Jer-
sey and New York on Friday ordered
a mandatory, 21-day quarantine of all
medical workers and other arriving
airline passengers who have had con-
tact with victims of the deadly disease
in West Africa.
The rst person to fall under the or-
der was a health care worker returning
Friday from treating Ebola patients in
West Africa. By Friday evening, she
had developed a fever and was being
evaluated, New Jersey ofcials said.
The move came after a physician
who returned to New York City a
week ago from treating Ebola patients
in Guinea fell ill with the virus. Many
New Yorkers were dismayed to learn
that in the days after he came home,
Dr. Craig Spencer rode the subway,
took a cab, went bowling, visited a cof-
fee shop and ate at a restaurant in the
city of 8 million.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said
the case led them to conclude that the
two states need precautions more rig-
orous than those of the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention,
which recommends monitoring of ex-
posed people for 21 days but doesnt
require quarantine, in which they are
kept away from others.
Its too serious a situation to leave
it to the honor system of compliance,
Cuomo said.
Those who are forcibly quarantined
will be conned either to their homes
or, if they live in other states, to some
other place, most likely a medical fa-
cility, the governors said. Those quar-
antined at home will receive house
calls from health ofcials. Twenty-one
days is the incubation period for the
Ebola virus.
The woman who was quarantined
arrived at Newark Liberty Internation-
al Airport. The New Jersey Depart-
ment of Health said she had no symp-
toms upon arrival. She was in isolation
at University Hospital in Newark.
Dr. Howard Zucker, acting New
York state health commissioner, said
any medical personnel who have treat-
ed Ebola patients in the three Ebola-
ravaged West African countries -- Si-
erra Leone, Guinea and Liberia -- will
be automatically quarantined.
Cuomo said anyone arriving from
the three countries will be questioned
at the airport about their contact with
Ebola sufferers.

WASHINGTON (AP)
Sixty-ve percent of Ameri-
cans now say the threat from
the Islamic State group is very
or even extremely important,
and nearly half think the U.S.
military response in Iraq and
Syria has not gone far enough,
according to an Associated
Press-GfK poll. Most want to
see Americas partners step up
their contribution to the ght,
Less than half, 43 percent,
approve of the way President
Barack Obama is handling the
danger posed by the extremist
militants.
Greg Franke, 24, of Co-
lumbia, South Carolina, was
among the 55 percent of those
who disapproved. Franke,
a 24-year-old assistant edi-
tor at a research library, said
he thought Obama was too
hesitant in responding to the
militants, who have employed
brutal tactics to swiftly seize
territory.
I understand the need
to be hesitant, but this was
a group that was marching
across parts of the Middle
East, which is already un-
stable, Franke said. I think
it warranted a swift and more
decisive response.
I also think that his decla-
ration that U.S. troops would
not be involved was prema-
ture, he said. I dont want
U.S. troops involved. But I
dont think we need to close
doors.
A majority, 66 percent, fa-
vor the airstrikes the United
States has been launching
against the militants, yet 65
percent of those surveyed
say Obama has not clearly
explained Americas goal
in ghting the Islamic State
group. The president met with
his national security team on
Friday to discuss the Islamic
State and talk via video tele-
conference with U.S. ofcials
at the American Embassy in
Baghdad and consulates in Ir-
bil and Basra.
Forty-six percent said the
U.S. military response has
not gone far enough up
from 40 percent in Septem-
ber. Fifty-six percent said the
military response from coun-
tries that have joined the U.S.
in the ght against Islamic
State militants has not gone
far enough. The U.S. and part-
ner countries, including Qatar,
Saudi Arabia and the United
Arab Emirates, have been
bombing Islamic State targets
since August.
It shouldnt just be us.
It shouldnt just be Oh, the
United States is policing. It
should be everyone is there
policing and everybody be-
lieves this is wrong and every-
one worldwide is trying
to stop this, said Kathy Rob-
inson, 24, a Sterling, Virginia,
woman who works at an infor-
mation technology company.
At the same time, she
thinks the United States even-
tually will put troops on the
ground in the region just to
make sure nothing starts back
up to keep the peace.
Only 32 percent think
Obama has done a good job
in clearly stating U.S. policy
against the IS group.
Poll: 2 of 3 Americans say IS threat is important
CARACAS, Venezuela
(AP) The falling oil prices
that are providing relief to driv-
ers around the world threaten to
bring more misery to the life of
Milagro Alvarez and millions
of other Venezuelans, whose
country depends almost exclu-
sively on oil revenue.
The math teacher has been
getting up before dawn each
day and rushing out to hunt
for disposable diapers, one of
scores of products that have
been in short supply due to
price restrictions and currency
controls put in place by the so-
cialist government long before
the slide in petroleum prices.
The government says were
a rich country, so why do we
have to stand in line and beg
to buy diapers? said Alvarez,
standing under a pink um-
brella to protect herself and her
5-month-old daughter Anna-
beth from the blazing sun after
three hours queued up in front
of a Farmatodo store.
Now Venezuela is suddenly
a lot less rich, and many fear
those lines will just get longer.
The country with the worlds
largest oil reserves was strug-
gling to keep shelves lled even
when crude was selling for $100
a barrel or more. Now prices
for benchmark Brent crude
have fallen $28 in the past four
months, to $86, the result of too
much supply and weaker global
demand.

MURSITPINAR, Turkey
(AP) New allegations have
emerged that Islamic State ex-
tremists have expanded their ar-
senal with chlorine bombs and
captured ghter jets weap-
ons that could help the militants
in Iraq and Syria.
Kurdish ghters in the key
Syrian border town of Kobani
have held off a month-long of-
fensive by the Islamic State
group with the help of a U.S.-
led campaign of airstrikes.
Turkeys president said he
will allow Syrian rebels to tran-
sit through his country to help
the towns beleaguered defend-
ers, but both the Kurds and the
rebels denied any such plan was
in the works, underscoring dif-
ferences over strategy that are
hindering efforts to roll back
the extremists.
In Iraq, ofcials said Islamic
State militants used chlorine
gas during ghting with securi-
ty forces and Shiite militiamen
last month north of Baghdad.
If the reports are conrmed, it
would be the rst time the Sun-
ni extremists tried to use chlo-
rine since their seizure of large
parts of Syria and northern Iraq
earlier this year.
The statements in Iraq came
two days after Kurdish ofcials
and doctors said they believed
IS militants had released some
kind of toxic gas in an eastern
district of Kobani. Aysa Abdul-
lah, a senior Kurdish ofcial
based in the town, mentioned
the attack took place late Tues-
day and that some people suf-
fered symptoms that included
dizziness and watery eyes. She
and other ofcials said doctors
lacked the equipment to estab-
lish what kinds of chemicals
were used.
U.S. Secretary of John Ker-
ry said he could not conrm the
Iraqi allegations that toxic gas
was used against security forces
and Shiite militias, but he called
the charges extremely serious.
He said chlorine can be consid-
ered a chemical weapon if it is
mixed with other toxic agents.
The use of any chemical
weapon is an abhorrent act,
Kerry said at a news conference
in Washington. Its against in-
ternational law. And these re-
cent allegations underscore the
importance of the work that we
are currently engaged in.
Three Iraqi ofcials a
senior security ofcial, a local
ofcial from Duluiya and an
ofcial from Balad told The
Associated Press that the Islam-
ic State group used bombs with
chlorine-lled cylinders during
clashes in late September in the
two towns.

today
Halloween 19-sixty-some-
thing. I would slip on some
odd clothes to disguise myself
as maybe a hobo or a clown or
some cartoon character, then
to complete the ensemble, I
would slip on a hard-formed
plastic mask held oh-so-se-
curely in place with an elastic
cord attached to the sides of
the mask. The cord would rip
through the side of the mask
before trick-or-treating was
half-over, leaving me to press
the mask to my face with one
hand for the last half of the
evening.
The other hand held a bag
of treats I had hurriedly ac-
cumulated. My folks probably
had spent less than a buck for
the costume, and I probably
gathered close to that much
in supposedly free candy and
other treats. That was the
economy of Halloween cos-
tumes back then.
Fast forward to today. Pay-
ing todays equivalent of less
than a buck for a Halloween
costume is out of the ques-
tion, even though choices for
females have less material
involved. It doesnt take a lot
of coverage to achieve the so-
called sexy nurse or sexy vam-
piress look. But folks shell out
the funds for that perfect look.
A mask made of hard plastic
and an elastic cord wont do it
anymore. We demand better
costumes these days, and we
will pay for it.
That principle extends be-
yond your own personal cos-
tume or even the costume of
your kids or grandkids. It now
extends to the pets. I found
the results of a survey online
that revealed 42 percent of pet
owners will be dressing up the
pets for Halloween this year.
Yes, 42 percent.
I have to assume these are
all dog owners because what
idiot is going to try to get Tab-
by to dress up as Hello Kitty
or a royal lion. Cats are typi-
cally not especially coopera-
tive when it comes to dressing
up. A dog wont care if a little
hat is tossed on his head. A
cat who has a hat forced onto
its head will be plotting his
owners death for the rest of
his life. So lets assume were
just talking dogs.
The survey says 71 percent
of pet owners want their pets
to look cute in their costumes.
Another 15 percent want them
to look funny and 12 percent
want their costumed pooch to
look clever. That is intrigu-
ing. I have a basset hound,
and I cant image any cos-
tume or circumstance where
she would look clever. She
can look sad or cute, but shell
never look like a brainy dog!
Of course, putting your
dog in a costume is either
to show off the dog or the
owners imagination. Ive
seen costumes that made me
smile and, of course, Ive
seen dogs in costumes that
just made me shake my head.
One retrievers owner had
xed up a bunch of old beer
cases and assembled them
so it looked like the dog had
turned into the starship En-
terprise from Star Trek.
Another owner had built
a small model car around his
dog so it appeared the dog
was driving or that the dog
was maybe stuck in the ve-
hicle. With a dog that doesnt
mind getting messed with, a
dog owner is only limited by
imagination.
CENTS/A8
We all have those lists
either on paper or in our heads
of what needs to be done
each day.
I have a list for this and a
list for that. Sometimes my
lists have lists. I, like my
mother, am a list person.
I prioritize my to-do lists at
work with what absolutely has
to be done, to get a paper out
on time (urgent and impor-
tant) at the top and what has
to be done to make things run
smoothly (not-so-urgent, im-
portant) the rest of the week
or month at the bottom. The
latter fall into the category of
investments. It includes plan-
ning, recruitment, returning
non-urgent e-mails and phone
calls, community relations,
giving feedback, etc.
Weve all found ourselves
caught up in the urgent and
important details of our lives;
the things we have to do to
survive. Working, grocery
shopping, paying bills, etc.,
fall into this category. There
are times these things take up
all our time with little left to
sleep and get ready for each
day.
What we often have trouble
nding time for are the invest-
ments we need to make that
ensure life is not only livable,
but pleasant and fullling.
That e-mail from a friend we
couldnt get to last week or the
phone call we never returned
because later never came are
investments in a more fulll-
ing life. We y around by the
seat of our pants and hope ev-
erything falls into place.
A recent Facebook post
listed all the things the au-
thor was dying to do like
become an adult, get that per-
fect job, etc., that he forgot to
live. Since my father died, I
have tried to invest in more
things. You just never know
how much time you have with
anyone. Later, sometimes, is
too late.
When friends or my mom
call, unless it is just impos-
sible, we make plans to do
something. To make things
easier, sometimes we combine
the urgent with the not-so ur-
gent, killing two birds with
one stone. We still feel we are
accomplishing what has to
be done while spending time
together and staying connect-
ed. Sometimes that afternoon
spent talking and laughing
turns out to be just as impor-
tant as your Top 5 on that
to-do list.
Some parents probably feel
they are still in school with
the amount of homework they
have to help their children
with. At the end of the day,
reading a book together may
seem like just another assign-
ment. Read that book. It will
mean so much to your child
and you will get the warm
fuzzies from spending quali-
ty time together. Your children
will remember that interaction
way longer than getting that
homework assignment done.
After working a hard day
and coming home and clean-
ing, doing yard work, xing
supper or doing laundry, sit-
ting down and discussing an
upcoming event with your
spouse or just seeing how
things are going may be way
down on the list. Move it up.
Invest in your relationship and
reap the rewards.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR POLICY
To the editor,
Jon Husted promised the State of Ohio that he would
clean up corrupt Boards of Elections in Ohio. I live in Put-
nam County and we were in such turmoil and were only
ranked eighth from the bottom; now Putnam County is in
the top ten.
Husted took his time, studied and checked all facts
and red members who grossly abused Sunshine laws and
power. Husted has cleaned up along with the 88 Board of
Elections and has improved the integrity of Ohio Boards of
Elections along with improving the Voter/Registration Da-
tabase. Out of 7.7 million Ohio registered voters there were
only four duplicate registrations which is down from more
then 340,000 in January 2011 when Jon Husted assumed
his job as Ohios Secretary of State.
In a state whose politics are as competitive as this, Ohio
Secretary of State Jon Husted is Ohios chief elections of-
cer and has a special duty to ensure that voting processes
are efcient, honest, and fair. Incumbent Jon Husted has
done that, both statewide and in Putnam and Lucas County.
He has earned another term in the ofce.
Mr. Husted has been a loud, and often lonely, voice
against Republican lawmakers efforts at vote suppres-
sion. When GOP lawmakers alleged that widespread voter
fraud in Ohio required a system of photo identication
a proposal that could have disfranchised many low-in-
come voters Mr. Husted provided statistical evidence
that no such fraud exists.

Getting my priorities in order
To the editor,
The library does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending
problem. The voters turned down requests for renewal in November
and again in May. While trimming some of their expenses they ignore
the main reasons the voters are saying no. The combined compensa-
tion for the top two positions (wages and benets) is $185,870.39.
In my opinion, this is totally out of line. The bookmobile is not
being considered for elimination unless the levy fails. Total operating
expenses for the bookmobile approximate $75,000 yearly. We have at
least 10 libraries in the county (main library, Oakwood, Payne, Ant-
werp and six elementary school libraries). I assume the high schools
also have libraries. Now, with this many libraries in the county, do we
really need a bookmobile? Keep in mind that Paulding County is the
seventh least populous county of the 88 counties in the state.
I commend the Oakwood Community library for their fundraising
efforts. They do a superb job of supporting that branch. Where are the
similar fundraising efforts for the main library?
I suggest we ask the library to operate on the estimated $588,969.02
they will get from the state yearly (our tax money also) and use some
of the $1.3 million they have in reserve. By using these monies over the
next two years they can still have an annual budget near $1,000,000.
If after two years they have made some real changes in spending per-
haps they can justify a new levy.
If this levy fails I suspect they will go to the commissioners ask-
ing for money. If the commissioners give them money after the voters
have said no three times we need to note which commissioners voted
to give them money and remember them at election time.

What is that doggie in the window?
Another tragedy unfolded yesterday afternoon as a school
shooting took place in the state of Washington.
Marysville, Washington, has a population of around 60,000
residents, making it just under twice as large as Lima. But due
to roaring expansion and growth, that total is a huge change
over just a few years ago in 2000 when the population was only
25,000.
Much like Van Wert and our heritage with the peony farms,
Marysville historically has been known as The Strawberry
City because of all the farms that at one time surrounded the
town. Residents can raise their eyes every day and stare at the
peak of Mount Pilchuck with its nearly mile-high top. The lo-
cal economy is helped by a nearby naval base and counts on
Microsoft and Boeing as two of its large corporate employers
in the area.
In other words, Marysville appears to be just a normal U.S.
town.
Unfortunately, that denition of normal now means it has
joined the club of those areas who have suffered through losing
children to bullets in schools.
As we are writing this editorial, events are still unfolding
in Washington. What is known is that a high school freshman
in the Pilchuck High School cafeteria pulled a small handgun
from his pocket and opened re. According to witnesses, the
shooter made no statements before beginning his spree but
when he was done about a minute later, one other student was
dead, at least three others were critically wounded, and several
other students had suffered minor injuries.
Also, the shooter was dead from a self-inicted gunshot.
The student was a football player, a recent member of the
homecoming court and, by all accounts, popular with the other
students. He had been sitting at a table with others students
who witnesses labeled as his friends.
Here is what else we know:
- Transporting a loaded handgun in a car in Washington is
illegal unless the person has a concealed pistol license.
- You must be at least 21 years-old to have a conceal carry
license.
- It is illegal in the state of Washington to carry a handgun
on school grounds.
We may never know what caused this young man to lose
control. One student who hid beneath a table while the shoot-
ing occurred said the boys face was blank, emotionless as he
pulled the trigger. Reports later surfaced he recently had ra-
cial arguments with other students (the shooter was a Native
American). Bullying may turn out to be a factor but it is still
too early to tell.
That is the only thing we can point to at this point in time:
it is still too early to form any opinion. Laws were in place to
protect the students. The shooter did not t the loner outcast
prole we have come to expect after this type of tragedy. There
were no public exclamations during the event and, as of yet, no
letters or communications have been found to explain his ac-
tions. Right now, we are left with more questions than answers.
We are also left with the pain of more young people sense-
lessly killed.
Left with, Why?
To the editor,
On Wednesday, Nov. 26 at 6:30 p.m., we will again be
turning the Childrens Garden in Van Wert into the Christ-
mas Garden. One hundred percent of funds raised will go
towards our goal of transforming a garden into a place
where a childs imagination becomes reality!
But we still need your help! Thanks to some very gen-
erous local people, our online fundraising campaign has
raised $2,550 of our $7,000 goal. To make a pledge go to
the website at http://tilt.tc/jgkL or mail a check to Sue Hep-
peard at the Van Wert Parks Dept. made out to Christmas
Garden Fund. The lighting of the garden has quickly be-
come a much-loved holiday tradition in the area and we
have a lot of magical things we would like to ad this year
but we cannot do it without you! This year we are giving
away Christmas Garden long sleeved T-shirts to everyone
making a donation of $50 and hoodies for any donation
of $100 or more. These will be awesome, one-of-a-kind
Christmaswear.
A visit by Santa, Mrs. Claus, the elves, Shrek and maybe
even the Grinch, music and special lighting will be provid-
ed by Mike Endicott of Centerstage Productions. We will
be passing out Willy Wonka Chocolate Bars to the rst 200
children in lineand the best part is that 25 of them have
a golden ticket wrapped up inside that can be redeemed for
gifts from Santa that very night! Its going to be a magical
night in the garden so please invite all your friends from
near and far to our fundraiser, as well as opening night.

opin
Politicians are the only people
in the world who create problems
and then campaign against them
as though they had nothing to do
with them.
Next week we will go to the
polls and elect candidates to rep-
resent us in state and federal of-
ces. They will take an oath to
defend the Constitution and the
various laws of the states and the
federal government. For many
reasons, that does not reassure us.
The First Amendment guar-
antees free speech. You can
say whatever you want, but you
should also have the responsibil-
ity to speak the truth, and be able
to support what you say with the
facts. Why are political candi-
dates able to run attack ads with
half truths, and blatant lies, with
impunity?
Several years ago Charley
Reese, a retired reporter for the
Orlando Sentinel, wrote an essay
that many people felt has hit the
nail on the head. It denes who
it is, in the nal analysis, must as-
sume responsibility for the judg-
ments made that impact each one
of us every day.
Reese notes that there are
about 320 million people in
America. Congress is made up
of 545 men and women. Then
there is the White House and
the bureaucracies they have cre-
ated. Thousands more serve in
state and county legislatures and
boards.
Congress, as a governing
body, has an approval rating of
about 15 percent, according to
national polls. The occupant
of the White House, President
Obama, is limping along with a
job approval rating of about 30
percent.
Have you ever wondered, if
both Democrats and Republi-
cans detest decits, why do we
have $500 billion decits and an
$18 trillion national debt? If all
politicians are against ination
and high taxes, why do we have
ination and high taxes, Reese
writes.
You and I dont propose a
federal budget. The president
does. You and I dont have the
constitutional authority to vote
on appropriations. The House of
Representatives does. You and
I dont write the tax code; Con-
gress does.
You and I dont set scal
policy; Congress does. You and
I dont control monetary policy;
the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435
congressmen, one president and
nine Supreme Court justices
equates to 545 human beings out
of 320 million who are directly,
legally, morally and individu-
ally responsible for the domestic
problems that plague this coun-
try. But very few of them take
responsibility.
Reese excluded the members
of the Federal Reserve Board be-
cause that problem was created
by Congress. In 1913, Congress
delegated its constitutional duty
to provide a sound currency to a
federally chartered, but private,
central bank.
I excluded all the special inter-
ests and lobbyists for a sound rea-
son. They have no legal authority.
They have no ability to coerce a
senator, a congressman or a presi-
dent to do one cotton-picking
thing. I dont care if they offer a
politician $1 million in cash. The
politician has the power to accept
or reject it.
No matter what the lobbyist
promises, it is the legislators re-
sponsibility to determine how he/
she votes. Those 545 human be-
ings spend much of their energy
convincing you that what they did
is not their fault. They cooperate
in this common con regardless of
party.
What separates a politician
from a normal human being is
an excessive amount of gall. No
normal human being would have
the gall of a speaker, who stood
up and criticized the president for
creating decits. The president
can only propose a budget. He
cannot force Congress to adopt it.
The Constitution, which is the
supreme law of the land, gives
sole responsibility to the House
for originating and approving
appropriations and taxes. House
members, not the president, can
approve any budget they want.
Reese says it seems inconceiv-
able that a nation of 320 million
cannot replace 545 people who
stand convicted by present
facts of incompetence and
irresponsibility. Every domestic
problem can be traced to those
545 people.
When you fully grasp the
plain truth that 545 people exer-
cise the power of the federal gov-
ernment, then it must follow that
what exists is what they want to
exist.
If the tax code is unfair, its
because they want it unfair. If the
budget is in the red, its because
they want it in the red. If the mili-
tary is in the Middle East, its be-
cause they want them there.
If they do not receive Social
Security, but are on an elite retire-
ment plan not available to regular
folks, its because they want it that
way.
Do not let these 545 people
shift the blame to bureaucrats,
whom they hire and whose jobs
they can abolish; to lobbyists,
whose gifts and advice they can
reject; to regulators, to whom
they give the power to regulate
and from whom they can take
this power.
Above all, do not let them con
you into believing that there ex-
ists disembodied mystical forces
like the economy, ination or
politics that prevent them from
doing what they take an oath to
do.
They alone should be ac-
countable to the people, who are
their bosses. They are our em-
ployees. They work for us, not the
other way around. The rst step
in cleaning up this mess is to vote

Wait, I take that back. You
are also limited by money.
How much money are you
willing to shell out so that
your dog looks funny or scary
or clever or whatever?
This poll showed that 71
percent would not spend more
than $20 on the pet costume.
Another 21 percent would
spend $20-$34, and nally
eight percent of the pet owners
surveyed said they would be
willing to spend $35 or more!
At a time when some people
are doing without a few meals
or staples, forking over forty
bucks just so Spot can be the
life of the party seems silly.
You can spend your money
however you want, but if your
goal is to make your terrier

may have a case of misplaced

When you talk to your nancial advisor,
they will tell you about long-term and short-
term investing and that both are needed for a
well-balanced portfolio.
True in life, as well. Its called an invest-
ment for a reason. There are rewards to be
gathered at the end. Sometimes that item on
the bottom of the list needs to move up to the
top so it doesnt fall off completely. Sometimes
that long-term investment pays off and makes
the short-term ones easier.
WASHINGTON, D.C. USDAs Food and
Nutrition Service is commemorating the 40th
anniversary of the Special Supplemental Nutri-
tion Program for Women, Infants and Children,
more commonly known as the WIC Program.
WIC was established in 1974 to reduce infant
mortality and improve the health of our nations
children. Today, the WIC program is considered
one of the most successful, cost-effective and
important nutrition intervention programs in the
country. Each month WIC safeguards the health
of approximately 8.25 million low-income wom-
en, infants, and children up to age ve who are at
nutritional risk by providing supplemental food
benets, nutrition education, healthcare referrals,
and breastfeeding promotion and support.
As we commemorate 40 years of accom-
plishments, WICs impact can be seen not only
through improved child health, but in healthcare
cost savings and economic support for local mer-
chants through WIC participant purchases, said
Agriculture Under Secretary Kevin Concannon.
In fact, WIC participation actually saves mon-
ey for taxpayers. Studies on WIC participation
among low-income Medicaid recipients show
that every dollar spent on prenatal WIC par-
ticipation saves $1.77 to $3.13 within the rst 60
days after birth. Since the rst WIC site opened
in Pineville, Ky., in 1974, the program has im-
proved the health and lives of millions of chil-
dren, providing nutritious supplemental foods
and instilling healthy behaviors that children can
carry with them for a lifetime.
Signicant milestones throughout the years
include:
Over the last four decades, WIC participa-
tion has contributed to lower infant mortal-
ity rates and improved pregnancy outcomes. A
2009 study concluded that WIC participation
was associated with a substantial reduction in
poor birth outcomes such as birth weights be-
low 2,500 grams (about 5 pounds, 8 ounces).
The study reported that these positive effects of
WIC are more pronounced among more disad-
vantaged WIC participants and are greater if the
mother begins participating in WIC early in her
pregnancy.
WIC has a signicant, positive impact on the
overall health of children. Studies have found
that infants of low-income women who did not
receive WIC assistance were more likely to be
underweight, and also perceived as having fair or
poor health.
WIC participation is related to greater use of
health care services of all types, including dental
care, compared to low-income children not par-
ticipating in WIC. Also, a Chicago study found
that by age 25 months, children who were par-
ticipating in WIC were more likely to be immu-
nized than children in the same age group who
no longer participated in WIC.
WIC is helping to address childhood obesity
in America. According to the 2012 WIC Partici-
pant Characteristics report published by USDA,
from 2008 to 2012, the percentage of one-year-
old WIC children considered overweight fell
from 16.8 to 15.3; similarly over the same time
period for two to four year old children, the rate
fell from 14.7 to 14.0.
The WIC food package was recently updated
to provide healthier options. In 1974, the original
food package included iron-fortied formula and
cereal, fruit juice, cheese, eggs, and milk. Today,
the food package is more consistent with current
science-based dietary guidance, offering a wider
array of healthy choices, including fruits and
vegetables, yogurt, and additional whole grain
and sh options.
WIC has begun the transition to an electronic
benet transfer (EBT) program. To further im-
prove program operations and integrity, and to
enhance the participant experience, WIC is mov-
ing to electronic benets transfer (EBT). Using
EBT instead of paper vouchers reduces stigma
and helps WIC participants more effectively re-
deem their benets. WIC is working diligently
to implement EBT nationwide by October 2020.
To date, 13 WIC state agencies have successfully
transitioned to EBT statewide.
The WIC program currently operates in all 50
states, 34 tribal organizations, the District of Co-
lumbia, American Samoa, the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands. WIC services are
made available through approximately 1,900 lo-
cal agencies and 10,000 clinic sites.
More information about the WIC Program
can be found at www.fns.usda.gov/WIC. USDAs
Food and Nutrition Service administers 15 nu-
trition assistance programs. In addition to WIC,
these programs include the Supplemental Nutri-
tion Assistance Program, National School Lunch
Program, and the Summer Food Service Pro-
gram which together comprise Americas nutri-
tion safety net. For more information, visit www.

Jefferson defense bends but never breaks in 10-0 win over Ada
BY CORT REYNOLDS
DHI Media Correspondent
info@timesbulletin.com
ADA - A sure-tackling Delphos
Jefferson defense blanked host Ada,
10-0, in a hard-hitting Northwest
Conference grid battle Friday night
that kept the Wildcat hopes for a
league title alive.
The Wildcats sacked Ada fresh-
man quarterback Seth Conley,
who threw 73 passes, a whopping
11 times, including three by Drew
Wannemacher.
Jefferson improved to 7-2 overall
and 5-1 in NWC play with the win,
which ended Adas chance to repeat
as co-champion.
The Bulldogs had their four-game
win streak snapped and they fell to
5-4 overall and 4-3 in the NWC with
the loss.
A 29-yard eld goal by Kurt Wol-
lenhaupt with 4:08 left in the rst
half gave Jefferson a 3-0 lead it took
into intermission.
Ada had excellent eld position on
three of its rst four possessions, but
couldnt capitalize to score a single
point vs. the tough Wildcat defense.
Jefferson fumbled on its rst play
from scrimmage, giving the Bulldogs
a golden opportunity at the Wildcat
21. Ada advanced to rst and goal
at the seven, but then the Jefferson
defense stiffened. Two straight sacks
and a pair of incompletions thwarted
the scoring chance.
Ada took over near midfield on
its next possession, but three sacks
stopped the Bulldogs. A
38-yard field goal attempt
was on line but sailed low
under the crossbar with
2:16 left in the first stan-
za.
The hosts got the ball at
their own 44 the next time,
but another sack forced a
fourth and 10 pass that fell
incomplete.
Jefferson then drove to the Ada
10, but on fourth and nine they were
stopped on an option pitchout to
Adam Rode.
Delphos nally hit their rst big
play of the night when Jace Stock-
well found Taylor Talboom open
over the middle. The tight end hauled
in the 20-yard aerial and rumbled for
a 75-yard gain to the Ada 10 before
a touchdown-saving tackle by Nolan
Roberts.
The Bulldog defense pushed the
Wildcats back, but Wollenhaupt
drilled the eld goal for the only
points of the rst half.
On the very first play of the
second half, Delphos broke the
game open. Hunter Binkley burst
through the line off right tackle
and out-sprinted the Ada defense
untouched 80
yards to paydirt.
Thirteeen sec-
onds into the
third period,
more points had
been put on the
board than in
the entire game
to that point.
The extra point kick extended the
Wildcat lead to 10-0 with 11:47 to
go in the third period.
Ada responded by putting to-
gether a 69-yard drive to the DJ 11.
But on fourth and one, Conley was
dropped for a one-yard loss to end
the march again with no points on
the board.
The Bulldog defense stopped Jef-
ferson, and their ensuing punt was
fumbled away at mideld. DJ drove
to the Ada 19 but three penalties
stalled the drive.
Ada put together another solid
drive with short passes, but a third
down sack and intentional grounding
play forced a Bulldog punt.
On the next Bulldog possession,
Delphos forced a punt. A low snap
bounced to the punter, and his kick
was blocked by Corbin Betz and two
other onrushing Wildcats.
DJ took possession
on the Ada 11 but penal-
ties and a fumble forced a
fourth and 20 pass that was
picked off near the goal
line by Grant McBride.
The Bulldogs marched
from their own two into DJ
territory. But on fourth and
one, a shovel pass was intercepted at
the Wildcat 44 by lineman Noah Il-
lig.
Adas last drive started at their
own 13. Conley scrambled 18 yards
and completed four passes for 46
yards. But another sack and a screen
for negative nine yards brought up
fourth and 28 inside the nal minute.
A hook and lateral pass come up
well short to seal the verdict.
Notes and stats
Ada ran 95 plays to 52 by DJ and
had more total yardage, 319-277. The
Bulldogs possessed the ball for 31:15
to just 16:35 by the Wildcats. Yet the
tough Jefferson defense, despite be-
ing on the eld almost two-thirds of
the game, bent but never broke.
Conley completed 52 of his
whopping 73 pass attempts for 352
yards. But Ada was held to negative
33 yards rushing.
Jefferson rushed 37 times for 176
yards. Binkley led the way with 111
yards on 13 carries. Mike Cline add-
ed 39 yards on 11 rushes.
Stockwell completed three passes
for 101 yards.
Adas McBride caught 18 passes
for 88 yards. Bulldog Trent Jolliff
added 11 receptions for 103 yards
while Slate Johansen also caught 11
passes for 63 yards.

Coldwater spoils senior night with 49-0 rout of St. Johns
BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The setting was perfect for
15 Delphos St. Johns senior football players as
they prepared for their nal home game Friday
night at Stadium Park. The weather was warm
for the last week of October, with no wind
to blow the ball around. The opponent was a
team with a tradition of great games in the past
against the Blue Jays four time defending
state champion Coldwater.
The outcome wasnt what the seniors want-
ed, however, as the Blue Jays were shut out by
the Cavaliers 49-0 on senior night in Midwest
Athletic Conference action.
The Blue Jays rst play of the game was
a completion from senior quarterback Nick
Martz to fellow senior Evan Hays for a 6-yard
gain. Seeing action after an injury was another
upperclassman James Harrison as he picked
up a rst down with a 4-yard run. The opening
drive was stopped after incomplete passes and
Deven Haggards punt pinned the Cavs back at
their own 18.
Both teams exchanged punts as both defen-
sive units forced three-and-outs. Coach Todd
Schulte was concerned about Coldwaters
team speed in preparation for the contestl, and
it didnt take long for the Cavs to prove why.
Mr. Everything, Brody Hoying, took off on
a quarterback keeper and bounced off tackle
leading to a 72-yard touchdown run at the 6:06
mark. The point-after by Kyle McKibben was
good, as Coldwater took the early lead 7-0.
Coldwater picked off a Martz pass with an
acrobatic catch by Aaron Harlamert to end the
Jays next series near mideld.
The Cavs drove down the short eld, as
Hoying used all of his weapons with comple-
tions to Chris Post and Neal Muhlenkamp.
With 1:02 left in the rst quarter, Hoying com-
pleted the 11-play drive with a 4-yard strike
to Aaron Harlament for the touchdown. The
2-point conversion was good, putting the Cavs
ahead 15-0.
Hays nearly returned the kickoff all the
way, as he had only one man to beat, but was
tackled at the 49 yard line. A holding call on
the Jays and a sack of Martz by Chase Brugge-
man pushed St. Johns in the wrong direction
as the rst quarter ended.
St. Johns put together its best drive of the
game from that point, as runs by Harrison and
Martz moved the ball into Cavs territory. A
completion to Hays and another run by Martz
put the Jays in business at the 22. Coldwaters
defense stepped up again with another big play
as C.J.Seibert broke loose and sacked Martz to
stall the Jays momentum.
Hoying put on an aerial show with a 36-yard
bomb on the run to Derek Thobe and 50-yard
perfect spiral for touchdowns as Coldwaters
lead grew to 29-0 with 4:30 still remaining in
the rst half.
Hays had a pair of nice runs for gains on the
next possession for St. Johns before disaster
struck, as the Jays fumbled the pigskin back to
the Cavs before the half.
Coldwater took over at the St. Johns 30
yard line with 2:56 showing on the clock:
plenty of time for the Eastern Michigan-bound
Hoying, as he scored on a 5-yard keeper before
the break.

evening. The Blue Jays fell to the state-ranked Cavaliers, 49-0. (DHI Media/

Columbus Grove upsets Crestview
BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
COLUMBUS GROVE Colum-
bus Grove played inspired football
from the start.
The Bulldogs scored on the very
rst play from scrimmage and never
looked back in downing Crestview
26-13 in Northwest Conference grid
action at Clymer Stadium.
This was our best game of the
season. We played Spencerville pretty
tough, too, but tonight we got the win
against a solid football team, Grove
coach Andy Schafer explained. Get-
ting the touchdown on the opening
play set the tone for us. Joey (War-
necke) is a playmaker and he had a lot
of space to work with because the line
did a great job for him. We played very
well defensively as well; our keeping
(Preston) Zaleski under wraps was
critical. He will get his good plays but
we forgot about it when it happened
and played the next play.
Crestview coach Jared Owens was
very complementary.
Groves kids came out ready to
go from the start and with their talent,
thats a good combination, especially
when we werent ready to go. We just
didnt have good body language dur-
ing pre-game tonight and it showed,
Owens added. I felt we had a good
week of practice but for whatever rea-
son, we didnt bring it tonight. We got
behind early and never dug ourselves
out. Their line did a great job of be-
ing at our ballcarriers ankles all night
long; its hard to get traction with that.
After recovering a squib kick at
their 40 to start the contest, Warnecke
took a sweep off right tackle, found
lots of running room to the sideline
and never stopped, nishing off a 60-
yard scoring jaunt in the end zone. He
added the conversion and the Bull-
dogs (5-4) led 7-0 just 16 seconds into
the game.
The Bulldogs recovered a fumble
at the 49 on Crestviews fourth play
from scrimmage. Using a 20-yard
completion from Reid Stechschulte to
David Bogart, they used nine plays to
take advantage. Warnecke was good
on a 30-yard eld goal with 6:37 re-
maining in the period for a 10-0 edge.
The Knights (7-2) replied with
their best drive of the game. Starting
at the 18, they got the running game
going as well as beneting from
a personal foul on their foe to get
on the board on a 7-play drive. At the
Grove 41, Zaleski took a quarerback
keeper to the right side and was vir-
tually untouched to the pylon. Jake
Tatum made it 10-7 with 3:03 left in
the opener.
A Grove punt preceded an inter-
ception by Groves Eli Schroeder to
end the rst period, setting up the
home team at the Crestview 39.
However, a fumble recovery by
Jordan Roop bailed the visitors out of
a deeper hole.
They were forced to punt and Bo-
gart gathered in Seth Mosers boot
on the right hash at his 35, looped to
the left side, found the wall and was
escorted down the sideline to the six.
Warnecke made it 17-7 with 7:21 re-
maining in the half.
A punt set up the Bulldogs at the
Crestview 48. Six plays later at the
seven, Warnecke drilled a 24-yard
eld goal with 2:45 left in the half.
Crestview did reach the Bulldog 31 on
its next drive, keyed by a 20-yarder from
Zaleski to Jordan Miller, in four plays but
a 7-yard sack of Zaleski set them back and
the half ended as Zaleskis deep heave
was picked by Tanner From.
Crestviews Jordan Miller rushes through a hole in the line
against Columbus Grove on Friday. The Knights lost to the
Bulldogs, 26-13. (DHI Media/Steve Coburn-Grifs)

Rams outlast Raiders
to claim GMC title
BY KEVIN WANNEMACHER

kwannemacher@timesbulletin.com
HAVILAND For three quarters of Fridays game at Raid-
er Field, Wayne Trace gave defending Green Meadows Confer-
ence champion Tinora all it could handle.
But then came the fourth quarter.
The visiting Rams dominated the nal dozen minutes and
wore down Wayne Trace to pull away for a 40-24 victory,
claiming at least a share of the GMC title.
Tinora, now 9-0 overall and 6-0 in the GMC, also picked up
some big playoff points as the Rams moved into the top seed
of Division VI, Region 20 with one week to go. The green-
and-white closes the regular season by hosting Ayersville, a
36-6 winner over Hicksville last night. The Pilots come into
the game 8-1 overall and still could tie for the league title as
Ayersville is 5-1 in league play.
Trailing 21-16 at the intermission, Wayne Trace took some
early momentum in the second half when Raider sophomore
Seth Saylor picked off a Brevin Renollet pass to give the Raid-
ers possession at the Wayne Trace 47.

Parkway tops
Cardinals for rst win
BY NICK JOHNSON
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
NEW BREMEN In a battle of winless teams, something
had to give as Parkway visited New Bremen on Friday night.
After falling behind, the Panthers scored 28 straight points to
secure the 35-12 Midwest Athletic Conference victory. The
Panthers are now 1-8 on the year.
New Bremen went on a 13-play, 67-yard drive featuring a
Trey Naylor 20-yard connection with Nick Gusching which
lead to Naylor on a fourth-and-goal nding Greg Parker for a
2-yard touchdown pass with 11:55 left in the second quarter.
Naylors extra point was no good and the Cardinals had a 6-0
lead.
Parkway countered quickly on its rst drive of the second
quarter, as Sage Dugan picked up 12 on the rst play, followed
by a 68-yard touchdown run by quarterback Justin Barna with
11:22 left in the rst half. Justin Rice tacked on the extra point
to give Parkway a 7-6 lead.
The Panthers next drive also lead to points, as Dugan and
Barna carried the Parkway offense down the eld. With 5:34
left in the second quarter, Barna broke free from a group of
Cardinal defenders, used a nice shake to evade the safety and
galloped to a 44-yard touchdown run. Rice added the point-
after and Parkway had a 14-6 lead.
The Cardinals got the ball with with 1:26 left in the rst half
after a Barna pass was intercepted by Adrian Speelman. The
New Bremen drive down the eld was halted with 39 second
on the clock, as Kevin Flaugher intercepted a pass by Naylor to
give the Panthers the ball.
Then, on teh nal play of the opening half, Barna found
Ryan Lautzenheiser for a 24-yard touchdown pass and Park-
way took a 21-6 lead into the lockerroom.
On the Panthers second drive of the third quarter, Barna
found Flaugher for a 12-yard gain, then Lautzenheiser added
11 more on the ground before Barna found him on an 11-yard
completion for a touchdown with 4:17 left in the third quarter.
The score was 28-6 after Rice connected on the extra point.
New Bremen tried to get back in the game, using a fourth-
quarter drive to attack the Panthers through the air. Naylor
found Braden Elshoff for a gain of 10 on a shovel pass, then
hooked up with Gusching for a 13-yard pass and catch. The
Cardinals capped the long drive with a Naylor 13-yard touch-
down run with 5:48 left in the game. The Cardinals went for
two, but the Naylor pass was picked off by Flaugher and the
Panthers had a 28-12 lead.
The Panthers next drive got a big boost from Kris Gangwer
who took a jet sweep for 30 yards and, two plays later, Dugan
punched it in from six yards out to give Parkway a 35-12 lead
after the Rice point after attempt was good.
It was bittersweet, said Parkway coach Dan Cairns after
the game. It was great to get that rst win, but the reason I say
it was bittersweet is that I have two good friends on the other
sideline who are coaching for New Bremen. I was sick to my
stomach all week because I know a win for us was going to
mean misery for them. I felt really bad about that just because
I have been in their shoes. It felt great to win the way we did.
The Panthers got a big night from Barna who racked up 167
yards and two scores on just 12 carries and Dugan added 71
yards and one score on 14 attempts. Gangwer added 61 yards of
just four rushes. The Panther defense was also big, as Flaugher
had two picks on the night, with Gangwer adding one. Adam
Stutz and Jeremy Feldes combined for 2 1/2 sacks for Parkway.
Defense played bend but dont break all night, and we had
a couple picks, Cairns noted. I thought the offensive line
stepped up tonight and we did a great job of running the ball
with both Barna and Sage Dugan.
Unbeaten Wapak plows through Cougars
BY JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
WAPAKONETA To go
on the road and beat an elite
team, it is necessary to play
error-free football. Even then,
it may not be enough. Van
Wert was anything but error-
free and Wapak showed it was
every bit as good as advertised
as the home team cruised
to a 42-0 Western Buckeye
League rout at Harmon Field
on Friday night.
We were scared and un-
sure of ourselves, Van Wert
head coach Keith Recker
said following the loss, which
dropped the Cougars to 3-6
overall and 3-5 in WBL
play.Just the look in their eye
when they went out there, it
was like we knew Wapak was
better than us, and we allowed
Wapak to be a lot better than
us. We let them scare us into
a loss.
The problems started for
Van Wert on its rst play from
scrimmage, though that play
came from mideld thanks
to a 45-yard kickoff return by
freshman Jacoby Kelly. From
there, junior quarterback Co-
lin Smith took the snap and
was immediately under pres-
sure, eventually going down
for a 12-yard loss.
The Cougars would lose
yardage on each of the next
two plays before Ryan Mc-
Cracken came on to punt.
After a Wapakoneta drive
went eight plays for 63 yards,
capped off by a 6-yard scoring
run from Kodi Morgan, Van
Werts offense took the eld
again, and the mistakes con-
tinued.
Running back Justice Tus-
sing was dropped for a loss on
rst down, the Smith looked
for Tussing on a screen pass.
Instead, Wapak defensive
end Corey Crawford read the
play, stepped in front of the
pass and took it 20 yards the
other way to put the home
team up 14-0 before Cougar
fans could even settle into
their seats.
In the rst two series, we
had four mistakes before we
even snapped the ball. We
had guys going the wrong
way, guys lining up wrong,
even guys in the wrong posi-
tions, Recker explained. We
had guys supposed to pull,
not pull, guys going one way
when they were supposed to
go the other. It was a lot of
mental mistakes.
The Wapak defense forced
Van Wert into losses on each
of the rst four offensive snaps
before the interception, then
the Cougars had a dropped
pass on the rst snap of their
third possession.
It wasnt penalties, it was
just tackles for loss, negative
plays Recker added. Were
not going to convert second-
and-10, second-and-15 against
Wapak.
Though the Cougars did
eventually gain positive yard-
age, they nished the opening
quarter with minus two yards
rushing and trailing by three
touchdowns. Wapaks third
score came on a 66-yard run
by Cameron Lauck with 3:28
to play in the opening quarter.
It was more Wapak offense
in the second, as Keaton Metz
paid off a 7-play, 63-yard drive
with a 1-yard touchdown run.
Things went from bad to
worse for the Cougars, as
Wapak (9-0, 78-0 WBL) re-
covered a fumble on the ensu-
ing kickoff and was back in
the end zone four plays later.
This time when Morgan found
Adam Henderson along the
sideline for an 11-yard scoring
strike.
Wapaks offense showed its
explosiveness one more time
before the half, as Jon Easton
broke through the Cougar
line and raced 72 yards for a
touchdown.
In total, Wapaks offense
racked up 296 yards in the
rst half, with 200 of those
coming on the ground. Van
Wert came into the game al-
lowing just 103 yards rushing
per contest.
Despite playing the entire
second half with reserves,
Wapak ended the game with
338 rushing yards. The Cou-
gars close the season at home
against St. Marys. Doug Frye
has the Roughriders back to
their old ways, using a pun-
ishing ground attack and
Recker knows his team will
have to be better in the sea-
son nale.
We just have to nd a way
to regroup, and we understand
that, Recker explained. They
(St. Marys) probably run the
ball better than Wapak, so we
have to nd a way to regroup
and try to get one.

Pigskin Picks
JIM METCALFE
COLLEGE
MISSISSIPPI :
This is not the
LSU team of a
couple of years
ago; they lost
so much talent
on defense to
the NFL. That
m a d d e n i n g
Mi s s i s s i p p i
D will take
a d v a n t a g e
of freshman
Bengal QB.
SOUTHERN CAL: The Trojans are also a
maddening team; they should be better
than what they are playing. Methinks this
week will be a rst step in that direction.
AUBURN: Came oh-so-close to picking
the Ole Ball Coach but the AU can still run
the ball like no one else, plus their passing
game and defense arent too shabby.
Gamecocks not quite as good defensively
as they have been.
MICHIGAN STATE: The nal few games
of the U of M tenure of Brady Hoke begin
this week with old Sparty helping send him
out. QB situation Up North not conducive
against a tough MSU D.
WASHINGTON: I pick this team for two
reasons: the game is in revamped Husky
Stadium in Seattle (tough for anyone) and
Sun Devils come off big home win over
Stanford. Methinks they will struggled to
get emotionally charged a second week
in a row.
KANSAS STATE: I like Charlie Strong
as coach in Austin and he will rebuild
Longhorns into the powerhouse they once
were. Just not yet; their QB situation is
downright mediocre.
PROS
DALLAS: Will we see former Brownie Colt
McCoy under center for Redskins? I really
dont think he got a fair shot in Cleveland.
Nonetheless, DeMarco Murray and
surprisingly solid D cross my ngers
that the dream doesnt end! will make
that a moot point.
SEATTLE: Everybody is abandoning
Seahawks like the proverbial sinking
ship. I think that is to their peril, especially
against a Panther team that has its own
issues.
ARIZONA: Cardinals may be the surprise
team of the NFL, having used three
starting QBs. That tells me their defense
is doing a marvelous job. With Carson
Palmer back, offense can score.
BALTIMORE: What has happened to Da
Bengals? I know the Ravens want to get
revenge on a week 1 loss and they are
primed to get it.
DETROIT: Defense, defense, defense.
Falcons are struggling, struggling,
struggling. That remains even in Wembley.
NEW YORK JETS: Percy Harvin will give
a badly-needed boost to Geno Smith and
the offense. Besides, the one thing Rex
Ryan CAN do is coach the bejeebers out
of a defense.
ERIN COX
COLLEGE:
LSU: I feel like
being risky and
going with LSU
on this. I guess
you could call
me a rebel
(Editors Note:
Is Erin a Bob
Seger fan?).
UTAH: The Utah
logo is quite
eye-catching; I
like it.
SOUTH CAROLINA: I could use a vacation
to South Carolina right about now.
MICHIGAN ST.: Michigan State wins just
rolls off the tongue better.
WASHINGTON: I feel like Ive picked this
team a lot this season so maybe once Ill
get it right.
KANSAS STATE: I like purple better than
orange today.
PRO:
DALLAS: Theres never a question who I
pick when my boys are playing.
SEATTLE: Now that Dallas has beaten
Seattle, I am happy to let them win against
everyone else.
PHILADELPHIA: Im not buying into the
Cardinals just yet.
BALTIMORE: Cincy has been on a long,
long, long roll down the hill and I dont want
to crash with them.
DETROIT: The Falcons are rolling down
the same hill as the Bengals.
NY JETS: Buffalo has too many key players
injured and were already struggling. The
Jets almost pulled out a win over the team
that must not be named so they can do it
against the Bills.
JOHN PARENT
Heres hoping for a better week than last
week. A&M?
Really? Ill own
that one. Well,
like any good
cover corner
(EN: Nice saved
there!) Ive got a
short memory, so
on to better things
with this weeks
picks.
LSU: I am NOT
sold on the
Rebels. Ole Miss
is better than theyve been in years past
but a night game in Death Valley? No
chance. LSU still has more talent and that
atmosphere is brutal on opponents. Ill
take the Mad Hatter and the Tigers.
Utah: I despise Southern Cal, so the easy
pick is Utah in this PAC-12 matchup. The
Utes are good and USC has shown the
ability to lose games they should win. Still,
my heads says pick USC. Ill take Utah.
Auburn: South Carolina isnt nearly as
good as people thought they would be.
Auburn is better than people thought they
would be. Auburn big.
MSU: Speaking of big: Michigan State
might lay half a hundred on Michigan this
week. These are strange times were living
in when State is the dominant program up
north while the Wolverines have become a
punchline. The joke goes on for one more
week and, by the way, Rich Rodriguez
is 5-1 this year with traditional football
laughing stock Arizona. Might have run
him out of town a tad early, you guys.
K State: K-State burned me last week, so
Im not picking against the Wildcats this
week, especially not against Texas.
Pro
Dallas: Washington at Dallas? Really?
Who selected these games? Oh, Jim, our
resident Cowboy apologist, did (EN: I have
a method to my madness! Whatever it is!).
Well hell not bait me into saying something
nice about Dallas (EN: Fair enough) but
they should roll over Washington.
Seattle: Seattle played better than they get
credit for in a loss to the Rams last week.
St. Louis big plays were on special teams.
Carolina may be trending backward and
the Seahawks are angry. As long as they
can project that anger at the Panthers
instead of at each other, Seattle should
win here.
Arizona: Ill take the Cardinals over Philly
because A) I think Arizona is quietly one of
the better teams of the early season, and
B) I hate Philly, too.
Cincinnati : How come we seem to always
pick the Cincy game but never the
Cleveland game (EN: Refer to my post
above! Maybe next week)? Not that Im
complaining, I would have gotten torched
on the Browns game last week. Ravens
have looked good, Cincy is sliding,
so naturally, Ill take the Bengals (EN:
Naturally!???). This is the week they right
the ship.
Detroit: Even with a morning kickoff (our
time), the Lions defense will be ready to
play. Atlanta has been too inconsistent for
the better part of two years now. Detroit
nds a way again, and, as a bonus pick,
Jordan Thompson makes his rst NFL
catch.
Buffalo: Finally, the Bills and Jets because
the schedule says so. Who would have
thought that Kyle Orton would be the best
QB in this game? Will Percy Harvin make
a difference in NY? Maybe, and Buffalos
ground game is all sorts of banged up, but
the Bills have a good front four and Im
taking Buffalo in a low-scoring affair.
Loud crowd? No. 13 Buckeyes
say theyre used to it
BY RUSTY MILLER
AP Sports Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
In order for Penn State to
pull an upset against No. 13
Ohio State on Saturday night,
coach James Franklin feels
the Nittany Lions 12th man
must get in the game.
We would love to have a
huge, home-eld advantage,
he said of the annual whiteout
game. I anticipate us having
107,000 Penn State fans wearing
white, screaming and going cra-
zy, making it really difcult for
(Ohio State) to communicate.
Thing is, the Buckeyes
dont seem all that intimidated
in an unfriendly environment.
Theyve won their last 18 Big
Ten games, two off the confer-
ence record, with nine on the
road. They havent lost on an
opposing home eld since a
40-34 loss at rival Michigan
on Nov. 26, 2011.
Royals beat Giants 3-2 for 2-1 World Series lead
JANIE MCCAULEY
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Spar-
kling defense, a stingy bullpen and just
enough timely hitting. That winning for-
mula of fundamental baseball has put the
Kansas City Royals ahead in the World
Series.
They even looked comfortable in the
tricky territory at unfamiliar AT&T Park.
Jeremy Guthrie outpitched fellow
World Series newcomer Tim Hudson,
four Royals relievers combined on four
hitless innings and Kansas City beat the
San Francisco Giants 3-2 Friday night for
a 2-1 lead in the Fall Classic.
Alex Gordon hit a run-scoring double
for his rst hit of the Series in 10 at-bats
and Lorenzo Cain added an RBI and
some slick defense in right eld as the
Royals backed Guthrie with nifty glove
work.
Eric Hosmer had a sixth-inning RBI
single in an 11-pitch at-bat for his rst
World Series hit on his 25th birthday.
Game 4 is Saturday night, with right-
hander Ryan Vogelsong trying to get the
Giants even against Kansas City lefty Ja-
son Vargas.
Royals manager Ned Yost moved Cain
from center eld to right in place of Nori
Aoki for a defensive boost in the trickiest
position at AT&T Park. It paid off, too.
Cain chased down Buster Poseys slicing
line drive in the rst for a pretty catch
from his knees, then snagged Travis Ishi-
kawas sinking liner in the second.
On a night that began with a remem-
brance of late Hall of Famer Tony Gw-
ynn, Kansas City produced just enough
run support even without designated
hitter Billy Butler. The Series shifted to
AT&T Park and National League rules
for three games.
The Giants had their six-game home
winning streak in the World Series
snapped. The unbeaten run dated to the
2002 wild-card club of Barry Bonds and
Co. that lost in seven games to the An-
gels.
The Royals seemed unfazed by the
fanfare and tough conditions in improv-
ing to 5-0 on the road this postseason. Of
the rst 56 times the World Series was
tied 1-all, the Game 3 winner went on to
win in 37 of those instances and four of
the last ve.
A cast of Giants Hall of Famers were
celebrated on the eld in a star-studded
pregame featuring a Play Ball! chant
by Huey Lewis.
Pinch-hitter Michael Morse hit an
RBI double with none out in the sixth to
chase Guthrie. Royals manager Ned Yost
turned it over to his fantastic bullpen,
and Kelvin Herrera immediately walked
Gregor Blanco.
With the hard-throwing Herrera
clocking 99-101 mph on the radar gun,
Joe Panik had a tough time attempt-
ing a sacrice bunt. His high-bouncing
grounder still did the trick to advance
both runners, and Buster Posey pulled
the Giants to 3-2 on a groundout.
Then, the Royals shut down San Fran-
cisco the rest of the way.
Home plate umpire Jim Reynolds
watches as Kansas City Royals
Alex Gordon scores on the an
RBI single by Eric Hosmer during
the sixth inning of Game 3 of
baseballs World Series against
the San Francisco Giants Friday,
Oct. 24, 2014, in San Francisco.

Its time to shake things
up. Take a different approach
to your goals and see what
happens. Trust your intuition
and go after whatever it is you
are trying to achieve. Your
intelligence, determination
and confdence will ensure
that you reach your destination
successfully.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.

you mean business if you are
frm and forthright. Be strong,
and rewards will be yours.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Stop letting old
ideas and negativity hold you
back. Tie up loose ends and
give yourself a chance to move
forward unencumbered by past
mistakes and disappointments.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19) -- You will be
surrounded by negative
opinions. Your creativity and

a way around any obstacles
you encounter. A successful
outcome will show everyone
how astute you are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Stand your ground if
anyone tries to stymie your
plans. Its your future, and you
have a right to choose your
direction. Exercise your right
to have a voice and an opinion.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- A fnancial or legal
matter requires attention.
Dont be deterred by friends or
colleagues who try to change
your mind. You know whats
right and best for you.
ARIES (March 21-April

Consider whether you want
to pursue or walk away from
someone you are questioning.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- You can get your way
and surpass opponents if
you keep your emotions in
check. You will be able to
outmaneuver and outsmart
anyone if you stick to the facts
and remain calm.
GEMINI (May 21-
June 20) -- Activities with
youngsters will brighten your
day. Dont be surprised if your
current situation goes through
an unexpected change. Finish
any incomplete tasks that
youve been avoiding.
CANCER (June 21-
July 22) -- You can achieve
greater popularity at a work
or networking event. You
will come up with original
solutions to perplexing
situations that will impress
even your toughest skeptics.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Before you commit to
purchasing property or a
luxury item, check the fne
print. Shop around for the best
deal. You will be torn between
two opposing ideas, so weigh
the pros and cons.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Change your routine by
making a point to do things
differently. You will learn a lot
from a friend, relative or co-
worker regarding the best way
to tackle your projects.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Dont be intimidated by
someone with more experience
than you. You are intelligent
and intuitive, and a new
opportunity is right around
the corner. Dont back down;
move forward.

RAIDERS
CRESTVIEW
JAYS
(From page A9)
A pair of Tyler Showalter passes to Cole
Shepherd moved the Raiders to the Tinora 35
before Showalter scrambled 20 yards to the
Ram 15.
Wayne Trace senior Daron Showalter
then nished off the drive, rumbling the -
nal 15-yards for the Raider touchdown. Tyler
Showalter connected with Shepherd on the
two-point conversion pass to give the red-
white-and-blue a 24-21 lead with 10:40 left in
the third quarter.
The lead would stand the rest of the stanza
as the Raiders were on top 24-21 entering the
nal quarter.
However, things turned quickly in the last
period.
Starting the stanza facing a fourth and 16
at the Tinora 31, Tyler Showalter found Say-
lor who reached for the rst down marker
while being tackled. The ofcial measurement
would be critical, as Wayne Trace came up
short and the Rams needed only two plays to
take advantage.
Taking over at its own 16, Riley Nagle
moved Tinora to the 21 with a ve-yard run
before Nagel scooted 79-yards on the next play
to put the visitors in front for good. The two-
point conversion pass failed but it was 27-24
Tinora with 10:53 remaining.
We were within inches of a couple of big
breaks, noted Raider head coach Bill Speller.
We had a couple of measurements that didnt
go our way but you have to play through those
things.
The Ram defense came up with a big stop
on the ensuing Wayne Trace possession and
the Tinora offense came on the eld taking
over at its own 40-yard line.
It didnt take long for the green-and-white
to take advantage.
T.J. Gares ran for six yards on rst down
before rumbling for 52-yards on the next play
to the Wayne Trace two-yard line.
After Gares was stopped for one yard on
rst-and-goal, the Rams used a Renollet sneak
to nd the end zone with 7:23 remaining, push-
ing the Tinora advantage to 33-24.
They started to wear us down a little bit
up front and then their running game was very
productive, Speller continued. You have to
give them a lot of credit. We had guys going
both ways and they were able to take advan-
tage of that.
Tinoras defense then stepped up and made
the lead stand up. After giving up one Raider
rst down, the green-and-white shut the door
and ended the Raider chances when Vogel
sacked Showalter on a fourth-and-six play at
the Wayne Trace 40.
Our kids played their hearts out tonight,
added the Wayne Trace head coach. I am very
proud of the effort. We battled them and we
look forward to the opportunity to play them
again in the playoffs.
Early on, it didnt take Tinora long to get
in front.
The Rams started their initial possession of
the contest at their own 45 and needed only
two plays to score.
Nagel ran for 11-yards on rst down before
Renollet hooked up with Hunter Vogel on a 44-
yard scoring strike to grab a 7-0 advantage.
Wayne Trace would answer midway
through the opening quarter.
Starting at the Raider 38, a seven-yard pass
from Tyler Showalter to Shepherd and a 23-
yard toss to Jake Dingus moved the red-white-
and-blue to the Tinora 23.
Tyler Showalter then hooked up with broth-
er Daron Showalter on a 23-yard touchdown
pass to put Wayne Trace on the scoreboard
with 4:55 remaining. The two siblings also
hooked up on the two-point conversion attempt
to give the Raiders an 8-7 advantage.
It was a back and forth game and our guys
battled right with them, Speller noted of the
Raiders effort.
A 13-yard run by Nagel put the Rams back
on top at the 9:11 mark of the second quarter
as Camps extra point kick set the advantage
at 14-8.
The Raiders went back in front on the ensu-
ing drive. Wayne Trace drove 68-yards in ten
plays, capping the drive on a 16-yard scoring
strike from Tyler Showalter to Jake Dingus.
Cole Shepherd caught the two-point conver-
sion toss from Tyler Showalter as the red-
white-and-blue posted a 16-14 advantage.
Tinora, though, would answer just before
halftime.
The Rams drove 95-yards seven plays, get-
ting a key 50-yard run from Gares to ignite the
drive. An 18-yard touchdown pass by Renol-
let to Hunter Vogel capped the possession as
Tinora rallied for a 21-16 halftime advantage.
It was a great high school football game
with a playoff-type atmosphere, concluded the
Raider mentor. Couple of breaks and maybe
we are able to get the victory. But we have to
learn from this and get better and hopefully we
get another shot at them.
Gares and Nagel nished with 168 and 163
rushing yards, respectively. Tinora nished
with 334 yards on the ground as a team and
posted 435 yards of total offense.
Renollet was 8 of 14 through the air for 101
yards for the green-and-white. Vogel and Na-
gel each picked up three receptions for Tinora.
Showalter ended the night 27 of 51 passing
for 341 yards with Cole Shepherd recording a
dozen receptions for 113 yards. Jake Dingus
added ve catches for 95 yards and Seth Saylor
posted four receptions for 66 yards.
Wayne Trace (7-2 overall, 5-1 GMC) is
looking for help in the conference and playoff
races.
To win the league title, the Raiders need
Ayersville to upset the Rams and set up a
three-way tie for the conference crown.
The playoff berth appears to be on the line
as well. Wayne Trace appears to need a loss
by either Carey or Van Buren in week ten to
slip into the postseason. The Raiders wrap up
regular season play when they host Antwerp
on Friday.

A 16-yard kick return by
Roop began Crestviews sec-
ond half at the 39. Again,
they seemed to get the run-
ning game going, reaching
the Grove 16 in nine plays.
However, a procedure pen-
alty set them back and they
were ve yards short on a
fourth-and-9 completion
from Zaleski to Jake Lippi.
Grove then went 75 yards
in seven plays, with a 49-
yard draw up the middle by
Warnecke the big play. At
the Crestview three, Stech-
schulte took a keeper to the
left side, found the hole,
and was into the end zone.
Warneckes point-after was
blocked by Dylan Grand-
staff, leaving their lead at
26-7 with 3:33 showing in
the period.
The next two possessions
went nowhere, after which
Crestview began a drive
at the Grove 45 thanks to
a penalty. Aided by a pair
of penalties on the hosts,
they drew closer in seven
plays. One fourth-and-3 at
the eight, Zaleski kept the
ball around the left side,
stretched it wide and found
the pylon with 8:55 to go.
Tatums PAT was blocked by
the interior Grove line for a
26-13 edge.
After forcing a punt,
Crestviews last gasp
traveling from the 13 to the
Grove 49 was stymied by
a holding penalty and later
by the third interception of
the night, again by From,
with 3:08 left.
Grove earned a rst down
to seal the deal.
Grove visits Bluffton Fri-
day, while Crestview is at

Coldwater got the ball back to open the second half with a new
quarterback, Jack Hemmelgarn, as Hoying headed to the bench.
The result was the same for the Cavs, as he engineered a 12-
play, 67-yard scoring drive that ate up nearly nine minutes of
the clock.
St. Johns likewise made a change at quarterback as senior Jor-
den Boone took over for Martz. Harrison reeled off three straight
hard runs to gain 13 yards and a rst down as the third period
ended. Boone refused to go down on senior night as he rambled for
another rst down to open the fourth quarter. The drive fell apart,
however, and both coaches put their junior varsity squads in to end
the night.
St. Johns (4-5) managed only 75 yards of total offense with 52
on the ground and 23 in the air. Coldwater rolled up 261 yards
rushing and 205 passing for a total of 466 yards of total offense.
Coldwaters offensive performance garnered 18 rst downs as St.
Johns had only seven.
The road doesnt get any easier for the Blue Jays as they end the

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
(From page A1)
On a national level that very same day,
36,348 domestic violence victims - 19,431
children and 16,917 adults - found refuge in
emergency shelters or transitional housing,
20,267 hotline calls were answered and 23,389
people were Educated in Prevention and Edu-
cation Trainings.
Some statistics from the Ohio Domestic
Violence Network:
94 percent of female murder victims are
killed by men they knew;
1 in 3 teen girls in the United States is a
victim of physical, emotional or verbal abuse
from a dating partner;
Babies born to abused mothers are 17 per-
cent more likely to be born underweight;
Women who have experienced domestic
violence are 80 percent more likely to have a
stroke;
85 percent of incarcerated women are do-
mestic violence survivors; and
Batterers are four-to-six times more likely
than non-batterers to sexually abuse children.

Balloon Ascension
The balloon ascension was
the rst thing on the program
in the forenoon. The bag was
inated on the lot south of the
Beckman hotel by J. Knarr.
The lady he had hired for the
work refused to go up on ac-
count of the telegraph and
telephone wires near by. The
balloon oated upwards, al-
most as straight as an arrow to
an immense height before the
parachute was cut loose, and
the exhibition was the best of
its kind ever given here. Knarr
alighted on the roof of the
Heywood residence on West
Third street and remained
there until a ladder was pro-
cured.

Construction rms sent equipment to help
remove the huge slabs of concrete that had
crashed down on the sleeping troops. Beirut
remen kept a steady stream of water on the
smoldering Marine headquarter ruins while
Red Cross, Red Crescent, and military ambu-
lances hauled victims form the scene.
The twin bombings occurred just after 6:20
a.m. Sunday.
Jordan, describing the Marine-compound
explosion, said a truck lled with explosives
crashed through the gate, drove into the lobby
and detonated, collapsing all four oors.
He said the bomber drove a pickup truck
into an airport parking lot adjacent to the Ma-
rine base where a sentry spotted it and radioed
headquarters.
Then the truck accelerated, smashed
through an iron gate, roared over a sand-
bagged guard post and smashed into the lobby
of the building, he said. The sentry red ve
shots at the truck but failed to stop it, Jordan
added.
Gen. Francois Cann, commander of the
French contingent, said the explosions at the
French and American camps came 20 seconds
apart.
The attacks were similar to the U.S. Embas-
sy bombing in Beirut on April 18 that killed
17 Americans and 32 Lebanese. U.S. ofcials
blamed that explosion on pro-Iranian Leba-
nese extremists.
DEAR ABBY: I have known Justin for 10
years. Im very interested in him. Im sure he
knows it, but we have never talked about it. Once
in a blue moon we hook up, and Im usually the
one to set the date up. Were friends on social me-
dia, but weeks even months
can pass without our speak-
ing to each other. Justin and I
have no mutual friends, so I cant
accidentally bump into him at
gatherings or anything like that.
I honestly dont mind hooking up
with him because hes the only
one I do that with. But it does
hurt when I dont hear from him
afterward. What should I do? Its
obvious Im head over heels for
him he cant be that blind!
PLAIN JANE IN STOCKTON, CALIF.
DEAR JANE: If Justin was interested in more
than an occasional hookup, hed be the one call-
ing you, and it wouldnt be once in a blue moon.
Ten years is long enough to chase an emotionally
unavailable man. If this was meant to be, it would
have already happened, and youd be more than
friends on social media.

DEAR ABBY: Ill be 30 soon. My friends and
I have drifted apart because were all in different
stages of our lives. Some of us still frequent the
bar scene, others have gotten married or dropped
off the radar. My closest friend is so wrapped up
in mommy blogs and all things baby that
shes no longer able to discuss much else.
I dont have children, and Im tired of going
to bars. Im in a happy, committed relationship,
but neither of us wants to focus on marriage for
a few years. How do people connect with others
at this stage of the game? FRIENDLESS IN
NEW JERSEY
DEAR FRIENDLESS: One way is to expand
your interests. You and your boyfriend should
join groups and meet people with whom youll
have some things in common. If youre inter-
ested in politics, the next two years should give
you plenty of opportunity to meet new people.
Volunteering is another way to expand your
circle of acquaintances. While you wont make
dear friends overnight friendships usually
take a while to grow the more
people you meet, the greater your
chances will be of developing
meaningful relationships.

DEAR ABBY: I am a

they dont want to talk to me
anymore. When is the best time to bring it up,
and how do I do that in conversation? DIA-

DEAR
ABBY
Dear Heloise: I have a
small closet and never seem
to have enough space. Rather
than keep empty hangers in
my closet, I keep them in
a laundry basket near the
washer and dryer. They dont
take up much-needed space
and are right there when I
pull clothes out of the dryer.
Lydia in Illinois
Hangers can clog up a
closet! Dont put an empty
hanger back on the rod only
to have it take up space. I
move mine to the end of the
rod so they are all in one
place.
Also, there is a big hook
(think coat or boat) attached
to the wall, where I hang
extra hangers that need to
go to the laundry room. No
searching for hangers, ever!

WEDDING BOUQUET
Dear Heloise: I dried the
owers from the wedding bou-
quets of our children. Then I
put one or two owers in clear
plastic Christmas ornaments
that come apart, which you
can buy at craft stores. On the
outside, I put their names and
the date of their marriage. For
the parents and grandparents,
I used their corsages and bou-
tonnieres. They made lovely

PREPARE PETS
Dear Readers: How many
of you (me included) have
emergency plans that in-
clude your pets? Our pets
are members of the family!
In my household, my think-
ing is that David, my hus-
band, can get himself out the
door, but Chammy, our silky
wheaten (adopted dog), may
need my help! If theres an
emergency, dont leave your
pet behind! Here are a few
hints from the American So-
ciety for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals and me
to be prepared so your pet
friends will be safe:
* Have a visible sticker or
sign that shows the number
and types of animals pres-
ent. This alerts emergency
personnel that animals may
be inside.
* Store an emergency kit,
leashes and/or carriers so
they can be grabbed quickly
if you live in an area that is
prone to sudden evacuation
situations.
* Locate (beforehand)
places your animals can stay
if necessary. Make a list of
boarding facilities and hotels
that accept pets.
* Make sure your pets al-
ways have identication tags
and are chipped, if possible!
If you dont live some-
where that may experience
sudden disasters, still
think through the steps you
might need. Heloise
CAT MATS
Dear Heloise: I put an

scratch anything else.
