LIMA The West Central Safety Council hosted
an informational session Tuesday morning at the Lima
Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center given
by The Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC) who
shared details and dates for the new prospective billing
changes as of 2015 for private employers.
BWCs Northwest Regional Business Development
Manager Jim Wyse said the BWC is changing the
way it gets billed. Currently, Ohio employers pay for
coverage they have already received, he said. Private
employers will be transitioning to a new prospective
billing system beginning July 1, 2015.
Wyse said prospective billing is an insurance indus-
try standard practice that will enable the BWC to col-
lect premiums before extending coverage.
Prospective billing has more flexible payment
options and decreases the base rate by 2 percent for
private employers, he said. Private billing will be
equal bi-monthly installment payments.
Wyse explained that the BWC will cover the $1.2
billion transition cost with credits for private and public
employers and the switch from a retrospective billing
system to a prospective billing system will come with
no additional cost to Ohio employers.
He said in July, employers will receive an eight-
month premium credit for all active (non-lapsed) pri-
vate state-fund employers which will cover the August
2015 payroll report (for January-June) and the first two
months of the 2015 policy year. Each employers first
installment plan will be waived and the first invoice
will be dated July 31.
On July 1, 2015, private employers will transi-
tion to prospective billing and on Jan. 1, 2016, public
employers will transition to prospective billing, Wyse
added. After July 1 and before June 30, 2016, employ-
ers must participate in an annual True-up, which is
where the employer reports their actual payroll.
He said after the transition, employers will make
estimated premium payments as suggested by the
BWC who will use each employers historical data
over the course of the past year to quantify premium
obligations.
There may be additional premiums or credits calcu-
lated due to changes in the employee census, he said.
The employers data is critical for rate making and
estimating what the BWC think premiums should be.

GOMER Come rain or shine, Gomer resi-
dents and historical enthusiasts attended the cel-
ebration marking the 75th anniversary of Admiral
Richard E. Byrds Snow Cruiser The Penguin
crash just east of Gomer into Pike Run on Old
Lincoln Highway.
To commemorate the crash of the snow cruiser,
an historical marker was unveiled at the site and
time of the original crash. Boy Scout Troop 84
presented the colors and Gomer Congregational
Churchs Reverend Jeff Franz gave the Invocation.
Opening introductions and remarks were made
by Marty Thomas of the Northwest Ohio Welsh
Society and Allen County Engineer Tim Piper.
Rod Watkins son of Willard Watkins who
owned the farmland where the snow cruiser
crashed and an eye-witness to the actual crash
and his family were present for the unveiling of
the historical marker plotted at the crash site.
It was 1939 and the polar exploratory vehicle
was traveling from Chicago, where it was built,
to Boston, where it would soon head to Antarctica
for a polar exploratory mission. The vehicle was
55 feet, 8 inches long; 19 feet 10.5 inches wide;
and 16 feet high.
Fully loaded, it weighed 75,000 pounds. Power
came from two 150-HP, 672-cubic-inch Cummins
diesels driving generators that in turn ran four
General Electric traction motors, one in each
of the wheel hubs. It carried 2,500 gallons of
specially-formulated cold-temperature diesel fuel
and 1,000 gallons of aviation gas for the Beech
17 Staggerwing it carried. Originally dubbed
The Snow Cruiser, the crew nicknamed her Big
Bertha. The final cost was $150,000.
Before the cruiser was made road worthy
again, more than 125,000 people came to see the
Snow Cruiser. Hot dogs were actually sold for
three days during the event.

OTTOVILLE Plans for
implementing new sidewalks
down Route 66 from Sunset
Drive to the library in the
near future were tabled by
council members during the
village council meeting on
Monday night.
In his Standing Committee
Report, Councilman Randy
Altenburger made a motion
to temporarily set aside the
installation of the sidewalks
to allow for a written plan for
the project.

Council hears parking concerns
BY STEVEN COBURN-

ELIDA Concerns about
parking along North Street
were addressed by the Elida
Village Council at Tuesdays
meeting. Chief of Police Dale
Metzger told council that
he, Council President Larry
Flick and Mayor Kim Hardy
had separately discussed the
problem in recent weeks.
Its a safety issue. They were
parking on both sides of (North Street), Metzger said. If a squad
or fire truck needed to get through there, they couldnt have.
As the last football game for the year was already played,
eliminating the cause of the problem, Metzger said that he will
address the problem with the organization next year. A packet
parents will receive will include a reminder that the area is a no
parking zone.
That will be their only warning, Metzger said. Any cars that
are parked there will get a citation from the get-go.
Metzger also introduced council to the villages newest patrol-
man, Patrick OConnor, who was sworn in to serve the village two
weeks ago. OConnor is a graduate of Ohio Northern University
and, according to Metzger, brings with him an understanding of
new practices and procedures that will benefit the village.
In other business, council:
Was informed that one of the villages police cruisers may
require replacement. Hardy instructed Metzger to have the unit
assessed and apprise council of the results; and
Held the first reading of a resolution that will retain Austin
Claus as solicitor for the village for a one-year period begin-
ning Jan. 1, 2015.

Safety coalition gives
tips for a safe Halloween
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
LIMA Halloween is scary enough with-
out the added terror of drunk drivers on the
road.
Every year, while some people are trick-or-
treating, others are drinking and driving.
There isnt a Halloween costume clev-
er enough to hide an impaired driver
who has made the poor decision to get
behind the wheel, said Evelyn Smith.
Whether youve had one too many - or
way too many - it is just not worth the
risk. Remember, Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over.
Nighttime is an especially dangerous time
to be on the road, but Halloween night is often
one of the deadliest nights of the year for
impaired drivers.
According to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2012,
almost half (48%) of all highway fatalities
across the nation on Halloween night (6 p.m.
Oct. 31 to 5:59 a.m. Nov. 1) involved a driver
or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol
concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher, which
is illegal in every state. That percentage is
even higher than the overall percentage of
drunk-driving fatalities nationwide (31%) for
all of 2012.
Now through Oct. 31, the Allen County
Sheriffs Office, Lima Police Department
and the Ohio State Highway Patrol will work
overtime to stop and arrest impaired drivers.
Law enforcement will be out all over Allen
County on the lookout for impaired drivers.
The Safe Community Coalition recom-
mends these simple tips for a safe Halloween:
Plan a safe way home before the festivi-
ties begin;
Before drinking, designate a non-drink-
ing driver;
If youre impaired, use a taxi, call a sober
friend or family member or use public trans-
portation;
If you happen to see a drunk driver on
the road, dont hesitate to contact law enforce-
ment;
And remember, Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over. If you know someone who is
about to drive or ride a motorcycle while
impaired, take their keys and help them make
other arrangements to get to where they are
going safely.
For more information, please visit http://
www.trafficsafetymarketing.gov.
Halloween driving tricks to keep chil-
dren safe
To help everyone bring home treats
not tragedies - follow these tips for a safe
Halloween:
Dont use a cell phone while driving; a
single distraction could lead to a tragedy.
Stay well below the posted speed limit.
Pay attention to whats happening on
sidewalks and roadways. Watch for chil-
dren darting across streets, especially between
parked cars.
Be extra alert when pulling in and out of
driveways.
Do not assume children can see you or
are paying attention; you need to take that
responsibility seriously.
Drivers should also check that all lights
work on their car.
Do not pass other vehicles that have
stopped in the roadway. They could be drop-
ping off children.
If youre driving a group of children, but
staying in the running vehicle at the curb, be
sure to put on your hazard lights to alert other
motorists.
Do not drive while wearing a costume
that prevents you from driving safely.

Election Day nearing, number of
opportunities to vote still available
COLUMBUS Ohio Secretary of
State Jon Husted announced Tuesday
that with one week to go before the
2014 General Election, more than
881,000 Ohioans have already cast and/
or requested an absentee ballot for the
Nov. 4 General Election.
Based on an informal survey of
Ohios 88 county boards of elections, as
of Friday:
816,739 voters have requested
absentee ballots to vote by mail.
Of those, 414,964 absentee ballots
by mail have been cast.
61,724 Ohioans have cast an
absentee ballot in person at the board of
elections or designated early vote center.
2,850 military and overseas voters
have requested ballots.
Of those, 904 military and over-
seas ballots have been cast.
Secretary Husted is encouraging all
other voters to take advantage of the
many opportunities available to them
to cast a ballot prior to Election Day.
Between now and Nov. 4, voters can
request and cast an absentee ballot
in person on every day leading up to
Election Day, including this Saturday
and Sunday. There is also still time to
request absentee ballots by mail the
deadline is this Saturday at noon.
We are just a week away from
Election Day and voters still have a
number of opportunities available to
them to cast a ballot, Secretary Husted
said. With elections officials statewide
working every day now through next
Tuesday, there is simply no reason for a
voter not to make plans and vote in this
election.
Whats on the Ballot
In the 2014 General Election, Ohioans
will vote for candidates for a number of
statewide and local offices including
Governor, Attorney General, Auditor,
Secretary of State, Treasurer, Congress,
General Assembly, Ohio Supreme
Court, Court of Appeals, State Board of
Education, and county offices. A list of
statewide candidates is available here.
For a list of all other candidates running,
contact the county boards of elections.
In addition to candidates appearing
on the ballot, voters will decide the
outcome of 1,675 local issues, including
school and local tax levies, bond issues
and charter amendments. A complete list
of local issues is available onlinehere.
In-Person Absentee Voting
Secretary Husted established uniform
hours for in-person absentee voting fol-
lowing a recent court ruling by the
U.S. Supreme Court. Directive 2014-30
ensures all voters have fair and equal
access to the ballot during the 2014 elec-
tions and can vote over
the course of four weeks,
including two Saturdays
and a Sunday.
Absentee Voting by
Mail
Boards began mailing
absentee ballots at the start
of the early voting period
to those who have request-
ed them. Voters must com-
plete, sign and seal their
voted ballots, taking care to provide the
required information, including proper
identification. Voted ballots must be
postmarked the day before Election Day
and received no later than the 10th day
after the election (Nov. 14). Absentee
ballots may also be delivered in person
to boards of elections no later than the
close of the polls on Election Day. They
may not be returned at polling locations.
Voters have until noon Saturday
to request an absentee ballot by mail,
though they should do it as soon as
possible to allow for plenty of time to
receive, complete and return their bal-
lot. In addition to the statewide mailing,
voters can also get an absentee ballot by
contacting their county board of elec-
tions for more information, or by down-
loading an absentee ballot request form
at MyOhioVote.com.
Military and Overseas Voting
County Boards of Elections began
mailing absentee ballots to registered
military and overseas voters who have
requested a ballot on Sept. 20, 45 days
ahead of the election. Military and over-
seas voters who have not yet submitted
a request for an absentee ballot may visit
OhioMilitaryVotes.com to download an
application and/or contact their county
board of elections. Requests must be
received by county boards of elections
no later than noon Saturday but should
be sent as soon as possible to allow
adequate time for processing, mailing
and the return of the voted ballots.
Election Day Voting
Polls are open 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
on Election Day. Voters choosing to
head to the polls on Election Day need
to remember to bring the proper form
of ID and know their polling place and
precinct. Voters can check their poll-
ing place and precinct and get other
important voting information by visiting
MyOhioVote.com.
Find Your Polling
Place
Not sure where to vote?
Voters can easily find their
polling location online at
MyOhioVote.com. The
system is populated with
information from county
boards of elections. It
is important to note that
boards may make a last-
minute change to a persons polling
place that would not be reflected online,
but voters would be notified by mail.
Questions about information contained
in the online system should be directed
to the county boards of elections.

The Next Generation
Theatre for Young Audiences
presents Alice in Wonderland
LIMA The Ohio State University
at Limas Theatre Department presents
Lewis Carrolls Alice in Wonderland
the weeks of Nov. 3 and 10 in the Martha
W. Farmer Theatre for the Performing
Arts.
Public performances are at 7:30 p.m.
Nov. 7 and 2 p.m. Nov. 15 and Nov. 16.
In the play, adapted for the stage
by William Goldsmith, artistic direc-
tor of Columbus Childrens Theatre,
and directed by theatre lecturer Margie
Anich, an adventurous young girl, Alice,
follows a talking white rabbit down a
rabbit hole and finds herself in a strange
place called Wonderland. Alice consid-
ers herself to be a polite, thoughtful and
smart young lady, but finds herself con-
stantly confounded by the creatures and
people she meets in Wonderland, who
seem to follow a completely different
set of social rules or often, what seem
to be no rules at all from what she is
accustomed to following.
The story follows Alices attempt
to help the timid and anxious White
Rabbit find the missing sugar tarts of
the Queen of Hearts. Being a stranger to
Wonderland, Alice seeks out assistance
from the enigmatic Cheshire Cat, the
boisterous Duchess and the Mad Hatter,
March Hare and sleepy Dormouse.
Alice eventually meets the much-feared
Queen of Hearts who decides to call
Wonderlands version of a trial to
attempt to discover who stole her miss-
ing sugar tarts. Alice is eventually called
as a witness, speaking out against the
Queens bizarre sense of justice and
finding herself surrounded and over-
whelmed by the strange characters of
Wonderland. Just as it all becomes
almost too much for Alice to bear, she
wakes up and finds herself back in her
garden, with her sister calling her to
come to dinner. Was it all really just a
dream?
Alice in Wonderland is Ohio State
Limas 20th production of Theatre for
Young Audiences. In its 19-year history,
nearly 40,000 children have attended
these shows, which are geared toward
children grades K-4 and their fami-
lies. Nearly 2,000 children from schools
around west central Ohio will attend
daytime performances Nov. 6-7 and

mately 50 minutes.

tion, call the Box Office at 419-995-

BY LOVINA EICHER
We had a good turnout at
the book signing in Warsaw,
Ind., on Saturday. Thanks to
all of you readers who came
and for all your encouraging
words!
Im wishing a hap-
py birthday to Timothy
(my daughter Elizabeths
friend). His birthday was on
Saturday.
Today is another gloomy
autumn day where we live.
We had quite a few days
like this lately. Verena and
I washed laundry yesterday
but ended up hanging it on
the lines in the basement to
dry. The sun was out and just
before we were ready to hang
the clothes up it started rain-
ing lightly. The clothes dry
very quickly in the basement
with the coal stove going
down there. I really would
miss not having my spin-
ner, which spins a lot more
water out of the clothes even
after they are put through
the wringer on our Maytag
washing machine.
The squirrels outside the
window are busy gathering
the acorns from our trees.
Another sign that winter
weather isnt too far off. The
corn all around us is also
being harvested.
My husband Joe and son
Benjamin, 15, are glad to see
the corn being harvested so
it will give the deer fewer
places to hide. They are still
trying their luck at getting a
deer with bow and arrow.
Daughter Lovina, 10,
went home from school
with her friend Marianna
yesterday. She spent the
night there in honor of
Mariannas 10th birthday,
and went to school with her
today. We missed not hav-
ing her home but Im sure
she had a great time with
Marianna.
Elizabeth, 20, and Susan,
18, didnt have to work at
the RV factory on Friday and
Monday. They were glad for
the break. Elizabeth sewed a
shirt for Timothy, and Susan
sewed a dress for herself.
I still need to show Susan
some of the steps on how
to put a dress together. She
is getting better at it every
time. She cut out a shirt for
Mose and wants to learn how
to sew it together. Daughter
Verena, 16, is also getting
pretty good at sewing. She is
sewing pillows every chance
she gets.
I have a reader that would
love a recipe for chocolate
covered cashews crunch. I
am sorry I do not have a reci-
pe for this. Would any of you
readers be so kind to share if
you have one? Instead, these
are good cookies we always
enjoy.
Molasses Crinkles
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup sorghum molas-
ses
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 cup sugar, to roll
dough balls in
Cream shortening and
brown sugar. Add egg and
molasses, mixing well.
Combine flour and the next
five ingredients; add to
the shortening mixture,
mixing well. Cover. Chill
two hours. Shape dough
into one-inch balls, and roll
in sugar. Place on lightly
greased cookie sheets. Bake
at 350 degrees for 12-15
minutes.

Mississippi State, Florida State top playoff list
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
Mississippi State, Florida State,
Auburn and Mississippi are the top
four teams in the first College Football
Playoff rankings.
The first of seven Top 25 rankings
done by a 12-member selection com-
mittee was released Tuesday night. The
selection committee will pick the four
teams to play in the national semifinals
and set the matchups for other four mar-
quee New Years Day bowls that are part
of the playoff rotation.
It was extremely difficult, more dif-
ficult than any of us had expected hav-
ing gone through our mock selections
before, Arkansas athletic director and
committee chairman Jeff Long said.
Oregon was fifth and Alabama
was sixth, giving the Southeastern
Conferences West Division four of the
top six teams. There are still four games
remaining matching those SEC West
rivals, starting with Saturdays matchup
of Auburn and Ole Miss in Oxford,
Mississippi.
The final rankings will be released
Dec. 7, the day after the most of the
conference championships are decided.
TCU was seventh, Michigan State
was eighth, Kansas State ninth and
Notre Dame was 10th.
Mississippi State and defending
national champion Florida State are the
only undefeated teams left among the
Big Five conferences and also hold the
two spots in the AP Top 25 poll. No.
3 was where the differences started
between the playoff rankings and the AP
media poll.
The AP voters had Alabama at No.3
and Auburn at No. 4. Oregon was fifth,
Notre Dame was sixth and Ole Miss was
seventh after losing for the
first time this season at LSU
on Saturday. Ole Miss beat
Alabama at home earlier this
month.
This is the first year for
the playoff format in college
football, and the list is the first indica-
tion of how the committee is evaluating
teams playoff potential.
The committee creates small groups
of teams, debates their merits and ranks
the teams using as many votes as needed
to come up with a consensus. Members
are given reams of data on each FBS
team and each member is allowed to
judge those numbers however they
determine is best.
College Football Playoff committee

rankings Q&A
The College Football Playoff selec-
tion committee unveiled the first of
seven top 25 rankings on Tuesday night,
the first step toward setting the field
for the national semifinals to be played
New Years Day at Sugar Bowl in New
Orleans and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena,
Calif.
Some frequently asked questions
about the committee, the rankings and
playoff:
Q: How does the committee rank the
teams? Is it like the AP Top 25?
A: No, the process is nothing like the
AP college football poll, where voters
submit ballots and the teams are ranked
using a points system. The
committee will create small
groups of teams, debate their
merits and rank the teams
using as many votes as needed
to come up with a consensus.
Q: Why top 25? The play-
off only has four teams.
A: The committee will also create the
matchups and pick some of the teams
to play in the four other bowl games
involved in the playoff rotation. Those
games are the Cotton Bowl, the Orange
Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl and the Peach
Bowl. Those teams will be chosen using
the highest ranked teams after the play-
off matchups have been set and consid-
ering the contracts certain conferences
have with certain bowls. Also, the com-
mittee is responsible for choosing the
best team from the Group 5 conferences
the American Athletic Conference,

Backup tailback Rod Smith leaves No. 13 Ohio State
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Reserve running back Rod Smith has left
the 13th-ranked Ohio State team to deal with some personal
issues and wont be coming back, team officials said Tuesday.
Coach Urban Meyer confirmed Smiths departure in an
email and told reporters during a Big Ten teleconference that
Smith has had issues throughout his time at Ohio State.
Were going to do the best we can (with him). Hes going
to graduate. I think hes on schedule in the summer, so were
going to do the best we can to assist (him), Meyer
said. Were disappointed but we wish him well.
Team spokesman Jerry Emig, responding to a ques-
tion from The Associated Press, told reporters Ohio
State did not dismiss Smith from the squad.
Rod has left the team, Emig wrote in an email,
declining to elaborate.
Meyer said there was no possibility that Smith
might return.
No, hes got a chance to graduate from Ohio State and our
focus now is on that, he said.
Smith, from Fort Wayne, Indiana, will retain his scholarship.
Smith has had a troubled past in his college career, fre-
quently in and out of the doghouse with the coaches. He was
held out of most of this past springs workouts for what Meyer
said were academic concerns. He also was suspended for the
opener against Buffalo last season for an undisclosed violation
of team rules which occurred over the winter of 2012-13.
But he worked his way back into the coaching staffs
good graces by his work on special teams, earning carries on
offense.
Just two weeks ago, Meyer heaped praise on Smith as the
team returned from an off week.
He was out the gate in the spring, a non-factor. When
I was getting ready for training camp, there was part of me
saying we probably wont have him back. Hes not a bad guy.
He just struggled academically and didnt do much, Meyer
said as his team prepared to play Rutgers. (But) hes been a
pleasure to coach. His demeanor, his work ethic. I really like
where hes at.
Smith had seen action in all seven games for the Buckeyes
this season, carrying 24 times for 101 yards and four touch-
downs.
Although Smiths absence will cut into Ohio
States depth at the position, he was still only fifth on
the team in rushing.
He didnt play much but that was an area where
we were getting a little bit better this year, Meyer
added. We just have to stay healthy. Itll provide an
opportunity for another player.
Ezekiel Elliott leads the Buckeyes (6-1, 3-0 Big
Ten) with 640 yards rushing, with Curtis Samuel
third (251). Quarterbacks J.T. Barrett (458 yards) and Cardale
Jones (141) were also ahead of Smith, with Dontre Wilson
(100) just a yard back of him.
1 game likely to decide B10 East; West is a mess
Two things are apparent in the Big Ten as November
approaches.
The Ohio State-Michigan State game in two weeks will
decide the winner of the East Division unless both teams
inexplicably hit the skids. The West is a jumbled mess with no
clear favorite among the four top contenders.
Ohio State-Michigan State for months has been looked
at as the conferences marquee regular-season game. No. 13
Ohio State hosts Illinois on Saturday. The No. 8 Spartans are
off.
Penn St. board votes down new look at 2012 report
By MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Penn
States trustees on Tuesday voted against
taking a fresh look at the 2012 univer-
sity-commissioned report into how the
Jerry Sandusky molestation scandal was
handled, disappointing many who have
criticized the report as deeply flawed
and unfairly damaging to the institution.
The board voted 17-9 against a reso-
lution backed by alumni-elected
trustees that would have set up a
group to comb through the report
and seek answers from Louis
Freeh, the former FBI director
who led the team that produced it.
Many alumni have been critical of
the boards handling of the aftermath
of the scandal and particularly how the
school treated late football coach Joe
Paterno, prompting a successful trustee
election effort.
There is no downside, none at
all, if we review the report, said Bob
Jubelirer, an alumni trustee and for-
mer state senator who joined the
board this year. This is controversial
it has damaged this university.
The debate demonstrated the deep
divide among board members about
what to do regarding the report, which
concluded Paterno and top adminis-
trators concealed key facts about
Sanduskys abuse to avoid bad publicity.
I truly cannot understand why a truly
engaged trustee whos paying attention
would not vote wholeheartedly today in
favor of this resolution, said alumni-
elected trustee Bill Oldsey, arguing the
trustees needed to do more to
defend the school in light of
the consequences of the Freeh
report and NCAA sanctions.
Lawyer Rick Dandrea, a
trustee who is not elected by
alumni, said any new review would be
hampered by a lack of subpoena power,
limited access to witnesses and a set of
civil and criminal legal proceedings that
are still pending.
I believe patience is the order of the day,
Dandrea said. Im not demeaning the objec-
tives, but I think it is certainly premature.
Trustee Ken Frazier, who worked
closely with Freeh during the investiga-
tion, said the report produced evidence
that affected the Sandusky prosecution
and the changes it recommended have
made the school safer for students, fac-
ulty, staff and children.
It is my strong view that any action
we take today should be done with the
broad view of the university and all of
its constituents, and whats best for the
university moving forward, Frazier said.
The meeting did not allow for public
participation but supporters of the failed
resolution applauded loudly on several
occasions and in a few instances indi-
viduals shouted at the board, causing
security to escort them from the room.
The Freeh report, issued shortly after
Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of
child sexual abuse, recommended wide-
spread changes in the schools operations
and governance. The university has used
it as a blueprint to change its governing
structure, how children are supervised on
campus and other procedures.
At the time it was released, Penn
State issued a statement calling it sad
and sobering in that it concludes that at
the moment of truth, people in positions
of authority and responsibility did not
put the welfare of children first.
Bishop leaves with wrong legacy at PGA
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Ted Bishop spent Tuesday
trying to salvage whatever was left of his legacy as the 38th
president of the PGA of America.
That he was even talking about a legacy is part of
what got him into this mess.
Can anyone think of the legacy left by any of the
37 presidents who preceded him? And for those who
are not deeply vested in the golf industry, does anyone
even remember who was last president of the PGA of
America?
The PGA of America has the most important role
in golf, just not the most glamorous. It has 27,000 men and
women who rightfully claim to be recognized experts in teach-
ing and growing the game. It runs the PGA Championship
once a year, the Ryder Cup every four years. Celebrity is found
on the PGA Tour, which split from the PGA of America nearly
50 years ago behind Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
Bishop was more about celebrity. This is one PGA presi-
dent people will remember, just not the way he wanted.
Of all the presidents I dealt with, he was more into com-
peting to win, said Davis Love III, part of eight Ryder Cup
teams as a player, assistant and a captain. His mission was not
to grow the Ryder Cup. It was to win. And I love that about
him. Weve talked so much in the last year about whats going
on with the Ryder Cups before and after. His heart is in
the right place.
And then he paused before adding wistfully, Just
maybe not his comments.
Those comments directed at Ian Poulter on
Twitter he called him a Lil Girl and in a Facebook
post that he sounded like a little girl squealing during
recess marked an unceremonious end to 23 months
of Bishop bringing too much attention to himself.
The potential for that was there even before he began his
2-year term. Bishop is exceptional as a public speaker, which
makes it easy to be seduced by the spotlight.
I think I abused my platform, a contrite Bishop said
Tuesday on Golf Channel. I had lived on the edge for two
years with a lot of quotes.

Bailey calls it a career after 15 years in NFL
Associated Press
DENVER Champ Bailey is
retiring after a 15-year NFL career
that included a dozen Pro Bowl
selections, more than any cornerback
in history.
Baileys agent, Jack Reale, said
from Atlanta that Bailey was still
drawing interest from teams wanting
him to play this season but he decid-
ed to pursue other opportunities.
I think hes timed it just about
right after a lot of thought, Reale
said. Contrary to whats been writ-
ten by some, he did and does have
some other options to continue play-
ing. But there are other opportuni-
ties that have been under discussion
really since before the season started.
I think its a really sound decision on
his part.
Its a safe bet Bailey will end up
talking football now that hes done
playing it.
Media makes a lot of sense for a
guy like him, Reale said.
Bailey, 36, spent his first five
years with Washington and his last
10 in Denver after the Broncos trad-
ed running back Clinton Portis to the
Redskins for the games premiere
shutdown cornerback.
Bailey was the most decorated
defender in franchise history with
eight Pro Bowl berths while with the
Broncos.
Blessed to be able to learn and
play opposite Champ for 3 years,
Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr.,
tweeted, adding the hashtags HOF
and TBE for the surefire Hall-of-
Famer.
The Broncos tweeted their con-
gratulations and were in the process
of gathering reaction from gener-
al manager John Elway and others
Tuesday, the players day off.
Although quarterbacks usual-
ly avoided throwing in his direc-
tion, Bailey still found a way to get
involved and make an impact. He
had 52 interceptions, more than any
active cornerback. He prided himself
on his technique and tackling abili-
ties. In 215 regular season games,
Bailey had 983 tackles, three sacks,
nine forced fumbles and five fumble
recoveries.
His best statistical season was
2006, when he had a career-high 10
interceptions.
About the only thing that eluded
Bailey in his stellar career was a
Super Bowl ring.
The closest he came was the
Broncos trip to the Meadowlands in
February when they were blown out
by Seattle.
With a $10 million salary looming
for this season, the Broncos
released him in March after
Bailey decided he wanted to
give a 16th season a try. He
later signed with the New
Orleans Saints but the left
foot injury that sidelined
him for 11 games last sea-
son continued to bother him
during training camp and
for the first time in his life
he didnt make the cut.
He had workouts with the Detroit
Lions last month and the Baltimore
Ravens this month before deciding
that hed laced up his cleats for the
last time.
His last NFL season was a bit-
tersweet one.
He missed most of the year
because of the foot he originally
sprained in a preseason game in
Seattle. Only later did he reveal it
was a Lisfranc injury, which usually
involves a separation of ligaments
and joints in the foot and requires a
lengthy rehab with no guarantee of
recovery.
Realizing the teams potential,
Bailey refused to consider going on
injured reserve and he returned to
action down the stretch and finally
got to experience a Super Bowl,
which proved both the apex and
nadir of his career.
He had a significant part to do
with them getting there based on
his play in the AFC championship,
where he gave up one pass for 4
yards on one foot, Reale added. He
has a tremendous amount to be proud
of and really tried to get it done last
year when lesser players wouldnt
have even tried.
Cowboys awaiting word on latest
Romo back injury
IRVING, Texas Dallas coach
Jason Garrett says Tony Romos lat-
est back injury is unrelated to the
herniated disk he sustained last sea-
son and the team is waiting on further
testing to see if the quarterback will
be available Sunday against Arizona.
Garrett said Tuesday that Romo
seemed good when the two talked
but he hadnt seen Romo before he
went for a CT scan.
Romo sustained what Garrett
called a back contusion on a sack in
the third quarter of Monday nights
20-17 overtime loss
to Washington. He
returned for the final
series of regulation and
the only Dallas posses-
sion of the extra period.
Bucs trade Barron,
Casillas at NFL dead-
line
TAMPA, Fla.
Mark Barron will get
an opportunity to shed
a label as an underachiever with a
new team.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers on
Tuesday gave up on the plan that the
third-year safety would develop into
an impact player on their struggling
defense, trading him to the St. Louis
Rams in exchange for fourth and
sixth-round picks in the 2015 draft.
The Bucs also made one other
move at the NFL trade deadline,
sending reserve linebacker Jonathan
Casillas to the New England Patriots.
Barron, who turned 25 on Monday,
was the seventh overall selection in
the 2012 draft but did not play up to
expectations after helping Alabama
win two national championships in
college.
The Bucs nearly set a NFL record
for yards allowed during his rookie
year and this season Tampa Bay
(1-6) ranks last in total defense and
points allowed.
Casillas started the first three
games of the season before losing
the strong-side linebacker job to
Danny Lansanah, who has returned
two interceptions for touchdowns.
The Bucs sent him and a sixth-round
pick to the Patriots, receiving a fifth-
round pick in return.
The deals leave the Bucs with
eight picks in next years draft.
To make room for Casillas, 27,
New England released offensive
lineman Chris Barker.

Broncos are unanimous
No. 1 in AP Pro32 rankings
By SIMMI BUTTAR
Associated Press
NEW YORK Going into Sundays
highly-anticipated matchup against the
New England Patriots, Peyton Manning
and the Denver Broncos are the unani-
mous choice as the NFLs top team.
Denver received all 12 first-place
votes Tuesday for the AP Pro32 power
rankings, which are decided by a media
panel that regularly covers the
league.
The Broncos are 6-1 and
coming off a 35-21 win over
the San Diego Chargers on
Thursday.
The most complete team in
the game right now, Newsdays
Bob Glauber said. Everythings
working on Peytons offense but now
the Broncos have the defense to match.
Barring a string of key injuries, looks
like another run to the Super Bowl.
Tom Brady threw five touchdown
passes and the Patriots (6-2) over-
whelmed the Chicago Bears 51-23 on
Sunday, helping New England move
from No. 8 to No. 3 in the poll.
The Patriots have won four in a row
to seize control of the AFC East, Rick
Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News said.
Sundays game will be the 16th
time that Manning and Brady will play
against each other.
Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady
never gets old, Foxsports.coms Alex
Marvez said. Round 16 comes Sunday
in Foxborough.
Brady is 10-5 against Manning, but
Manning won the most recent matchup
in the AFC title game last
season.
Sundays game is the first
in NFL history where two
starting quarterbacks with at
least 150 career regular-sea-
son wins each will face off.
And Brady will be making
his 200th career start.
The Arizona Cardinals, coming a
24-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles,
moved from No. 5 to No. 2 in the poll.
Thats no desert mirage Bruce
Arians has artfully crafted in Glendale,
Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune said.
The Cardinals (6-1) have a 2-game
lead in the NFC West entering Sundays
game against the Dallas Cowboys (6-2),
who dropped from No. 2 to No. 4 after
Mondays 20-17 overtime loss to the
Washington Redskins.
The Redskins aggressive defense
was effective in slowing down the
Cowboys, who had their 6-game win-
ning streak snapped.
Cards D will be blitzing after watch-
ing Washington, said Tony Dungy of
NBC Sports.
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo
left the game with a back injury before
returning late in the loss.
The Cowboys were due for a rough
game but this one could have big impli-
cations with Tony Romos injury,
ESPNs Herm Edwards said.
The Eagles dropped from No. 3 to
No. 5 after the loss to the Cardinals.
The Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts,
San Diego Chargers, Green Bay Packers
and the Seattle Seahawks rounded out
the top 10.
The Lions (6-2) overcame a 21-0
halftime deficit before rallying for a
22-21 win over the Falcons at Wembley
Stadium in London. They lead the
Packers by a game in the NFC North.
(Matthew) Stafford continues to
shine minus Calvin Johnson, (Reggie)
Bush, Fox Sports John Czarnecki said.

Titans O line to get help cleaning up penalties
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Ken Whisenhunt let his
Tennessee Titans try to clean up their penalties on their
own to no avail, so now the first-year coach will have
officials at practice when they return from their bye.
Rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger said they
learned of the coachs plans Tuesday, which include a
player flagged for a penalty in practice being replaced.
The Titans (2-6) are among the NFLs most penalized
teams with 63 penalties for 580 yard; some of the biggest
repeat offenders have been on the offensive line where the
Tennessee invested so heavily with two high-priced free
agents in left guard Andy Levitre and right tackle Michael
Oher and two first-round draft picks in rookie left tackle
Taylor Lewan and right guard Chance Warmack.
Offensive linemen account for 25 of the penalties
with Levitre flagged the most with six followed by
Warmack (five), Oher (four) and center Brian Schwenke
(three). Lewan has four penalties, though a couple came
before the season-ending injury to veteran left tackle
Michael Roos (three). Lewan, who was flagged for a
face mask in Sundays 30-16 loss to Houston, says he
thinks bringing officials in is a great idea.
Saints Ingram not surprised by his recent success
METAIRIE, La. Mark Ingram says he hasnt sur-
prised himself at all and always knew he was capable of
the gains hes been making on the ground this season for
the New Orleans Saints.
The former Heisman Trophy winner and first-round
draft pick is starting to live up to the lofty expectations
with which he entered the NFL in 2011. His 5.7 yards
per carry is the highest of any running back in the NFL.
Last Sunday night, Ingram rushed for a career-high
172 yards on 24 carries, including a 21-yard touchdown
in a 44-23 victory over Green Bay. His four touchdowns
rushing ties him for fifth in the NFL, even though he
missed three games with a broken hand.
NFL
He was the first to oppose the new rule that bans the
anchored stroke used for long putters but he didnt stop there.
In a series of interviews and emails with Golf World magazine
in April, he took on R&A and chief executive Peter Dawson
for not accepting input. And then he poked the R&A by show-
ing the evidence of not being inclusive was their unwilling-
ness to accept women as members.
The R&A voted to accept female members in September.
Bishop also floated the idea of taking the PGA Championship
overseas, even mentioning as a possibility Royal Portrush in
Northern Ireland, which was clamoring for a British Open.
Royal Portrush is now on the Open rotation.
He also took a risk by appointing Tom Watson as the Ryder
Cup captain, even though Watson had not been at a Ryder Cup
since he last was captain in 1993. The move backfired when
Watson made a series of curious decisions with his picks and
his lineups, then the choice was exposed when Phil Mickelson
with Watson in the room talked in a press conference
about how America had strayed from its winning formula of
inclusiveness.
And when the Americans lost and Watson was criticized,
Bishop took it personally. Thats why he couldnt resist firing
back at Poulter, who in his recently published book mentioned
Watsons shortcomings. Poulter also called out Nick Faldo for
referring to Sergio Garcia as useless in 2008 when Faldo was
captain and Europe lost for the only time in the last 15 years.
Bishop blamed no one but himself. He didnt spare the PGA
of America officers in the 24-hour news cycle that led to what
he calls his impeachment. Bishop said he wanted to apologize
and instead signed off a statement that only mentioned he had
removed the inappropriate posts. He said Dottie Pepper, an
independent director for the PGA and no stranger to contro-
versy, urged him to get out in front of the story with an apology.
Bishop was on the verge of choking up at the end of his
Golf Channel appearance.
Ive been involved for all 38 years of my career in trying
to do things for women in golf, added Bishop, the father of
two girls. And I think when I wake up at 2:30, 3:30 in the
morning and I cant sleep, its because I look at the things that
I feel like Ive done in my career for my girls, for women
and I think these things, theyre flushed down the toilet.
Thats going to be my legacy. Thats it. Thats the situation I
created for myself.
He was right about one thing. He has no one to blame but
himself.
Another multiple-course tournament on PGA Tour:
The McGladrey Classic will be the fourth PGA Tour event
next year to use multiple courses and the first that is not in
California.
Its all about timing and opportunity.
The McGladrey Classic will be the last official event in
2015, taking the spot now held by Mexico. But once daylight
saving time arrives at the end of October, its a scramble for
even a 132-man field to finish.

Knowing location of important
documents is key to preparation
DEAR BRUCE: I want to
be prepared for the responsi-
bility of settling my parents
estate. My father is still in
good health at the impressive
age of 89. My sister passed
away last year. My father has
a will and hes already told
me where he keeps his impor-
tant documents. Do you have
any suggestions on how I can
educate myself and prepare?
-- C.W.
DEAR C.W.: Sounds to
me like you have things very
much in hand. You have a
will, which I assume express-
es your fathers wishes. That
would be valid for probate
when your dad passes away.
And your father told you
where he keeps his impor-
tant documents, which is an
important consideration. So
many people pass away with
a secret stash and then you
dont know where to find all
these documents! It seems to
me that you have educated
yourself already. I dont see
any need for any help.
DEAR BRUCE: My hus-
band refuses to quit smok-
ing. He is presently on my
employers group insurance
policy. Only the employee has
to attest to their smoking sta-
tus. I am a nonsmoker, so it is
not an issue.
I have heard that eventu-
ally spouses will be required
to prove their smoking sta-
tus. I believe that the insur-
ance rates will be quite high
for smokers under this plan.
What exactly is a spouses
liability for health care costs
for a spouse who does not
have insurance?
He is currently not eligi-
ble for group coverage under
another employer. We file a
joint tax return, so I imagine
that at a minimum I would
be responsible for paying the
new tax associated with not
having health insurance if he
was unable to. But what if
he gets sick? To what extent
am I liable for his health care
costs? I can absorb costs to
a certain level, but at some
point, it would be untenable.
I currently contribute to a
health care savings account
that covers both of us. Other
than a slight smokers cough,
he is a healthy man in his mid-
50s. What are our options
here? Can you tell me what
to expect as to my liability for
his medical bills if he were
to go uncovered? How do
the plans under Obamacare
handle smokers? -- M.M.
DEAR M.M.: You made
the point that your husband
refuses to quit smoking and
apparently doesnt care what
happens to the people he
leaves behind. What else can
be said?
As far as him being cov-
ered under any new plan your
employer adopts, there is
nothing we can do about that.
The nature of it would be that
there will be a separate high
rate for smokers. And you
might not have the option of
simply dropping him from
the policy if the cost increases
dramatically, which is another
problem.
A spouses liability for
health care costs for an unin-
sured spouse depends upon
the state you are in and a
number of specific statutes.
He may be penalized if he
doesnt have health insurance
that is available.
As your husband gets old-
er, smoking will take a toll on
his health. You have to won-
der why someone is so foolish
to allow an addiction to make
these kinds of demands on
his life.
DEAR BRUCE: My wife
and I are both retired, and
our pensions are pretty much
set. We each have $45,000
term policies, which are get-
ting more expensive as we get
older. We kept these policies
so the survivor can pay down
the mortgage on our house,
but now we owe approxi-
mately $49,000 on the house
and have more than enough in
retirement investments to pay
it off. I dont know whether to
keep the policies in force or to
cash them in. -- Larry
DEAR LARRY: You say
the insurance is getting more
expensive as you get older,
and thats true, but on the
other side of that, the idea of
having money to pay for the
house if one of you cashes in
a little bit early is a wise idea.
You havent told me how
much the payments are, but I
suspect they look large, par-
ticularly due to the lower pre-
mium you were paying some
years ago. It may well be that
you want to extend the policy
to an older payoff age even
though that will increase the
payments.
On balance, unless its a
very severe burden, I would
keep the life insurance in
place.

Google working on pill
that searches for illnesses
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP)
Google is working on a cancer-detecting
pill in its latest effort to push the boundar-
ies of technology.
Still in the experimental stage, the pill is
packed with tiny magnetic particles, which
can travel through a patients bloodstream,
search for malignant cells and report their
findings to a sensor on a wearable device.
As many as 2,000 of these microscopic
nanoparticles could fit inside a single
red blood cell to provide doctors with bet-
ter insights about what is happening inside
their patients.
The project announced Tuesday is the
latest effort to emerge from Googles X
lab, which has been trying to open new
technological frontiers to solve nettlesome
problems and improve the quality of peo-
ples lives. The same division is also work-
ing on several other outlandish projects
that have little to do with Googles main
business of Internet search and advertis-
ing: Self-driving cars, a computer called
Glass that looks like eyeglasses, Internet-
beam balloons and contact lenses that can
measure glucose in tears.
Some investors frustrated with the costs
of financing Xs projects ridicule them
as expensive flights of fancy, but Google
CEO Larry Page likens them to moonshots
that could unleash future innovation and
money-making opportunities.
It could be a decade before Googles
nanoparticle research pays off, according to
the Mountain View, California, company.
At this point, Google believes the can-
cer-detecting nanoparticles can be coated
with antibodies that bind with specific
proteins or cells associated with various
maladies. The particles would remain in
the blood and report back continuously
on what they find over time, said Andrew
Conrad, head of life sciences at Google X,
while a wearable sensor could track the
particles by following their magnetic fields
and collecting data on their movement
through the body.
The goal is to get a fuller picture of the
patients health than the snapshot thats
obtained when a doctor draws a single
sample of blood for tests that arent com-
prehensive enough to spot the early stages
of many forms of cancer.
We want to make it simple and auto-
matic and not invasive, Conrad added.
Like Google is doing in the contact lens
project, the company is here looking for
ways to proactively monitor health and
prevent disease, rather than wait to diag-
nose problems, he said.
Data from the sensor could be uploaded
or stored on the Internet until it can be inter-
preted by a doctor, he said. That could raise
questions about privacy or the security of
patient data. But when asked if Google could
use the information for commercial purposes,
Conrad said, We have no interest in that.
Apple CEO Tim
Cook says Apple
Pay a success
LAGUNA BEACH,
Calif. (AP) Apple CEO
Tim Cook said Apples new
mobile payment system had
over 1 million activations in
the first three days after it
became available, and is now
more widely used than any
competing payment system.
Were already No. 1. Were
more than the total of the other
guys, Cook boasted Monday
during a tech industry confer-
ence, and weve only been at
it a week. He said Visa and
MasterCard officials have told
Apple that the Apple Pay sys-
tem is already seeing more use
than similar contactless meth-
ods of paying for purchases.
While Apple has partnered
with major banks and large retail
chains including Macys Inc.,
Walgreen Co. and McDonalds
Corp., critics have noted that
its not accepted by a number
of other large chains. Among
them are the drugstore chains
CVS Caremark Corp. and Rite
Aid Corp., which belong to a
retail coalition working on a
rival system.
Cook also said he plans
to talk with Jack Ma, execu-
tive chairman of the Chinese
e-commerce giant Alibaba,
later this week about a pos-
sible partnership, although he
offered no details.
US durable goods fell 1.3 percent in September
WASHINGTON (AP) Orders to U.S. companies for
long-lasting manufactured goods fell for a second month in
September, while a key category that signals business invest-
ment plans dropped by the biggest amount in eight months.
But analysts view the declines as a temporary soft patch that
will likely be followed by a return to solid growth, powered by
an expected upturn in business spending on new equipment.
Orders for durable goods retreated 1.3 percent in September
after a record 18.3 percent tumble in August, the Commerce
Department reported Tuesday. The August drop followed a
record 22.5 percent increase in July. The wide swings in both
months were driven by the volatile aircraft category, which
saw orders soar in July only to plunge in August.
A category that serves as a proxy for business investment
fell 1.7 percent in September, the biggest drop since January.
Economists noted that the decline came after a period of
solid gains that had pushed the category to record levels.
Manufacturing has been a cornerstone of strength for the
economy this year, and the recent weakness is not expected
derail the longer-term momentum.
Economists remain optimistic about the outlook for manu-
facturing. They believe businesses will continue to expand
and modernize their operations as consumer spending benefits
from a strengthening job market.
Consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of eco-
nomic activity, should offset lackluster growth of U.S. exports.
Despite reaching record highs earlier this year, overseas
demand may slow in the coming months because of weakness
in key markets such as Europe, as well as a strengthening U.S.
dollar, which makes American goods less competitive abroad.
Gregory Daco, lead U.S. economist for Oxford Economics,
said he still forecasts that the U.S. economy should be able to
weather a minor global slowdown.
For September, the weakness permeated a number of
areas. Demand for transportation goods fell 3.7 percent, with
orders for commercial aircraft falling 16.1 percent. Demand
for motor vehicles and parts slipped 0.1 percent. Orders
for machinery fell 2.8 percent, and demand for computers
declined 5.3 percent.
Demand for primary metals such as steel rose 2.2 percent,
while orders for appliances rose 1.8 percent.
On Thursday the government will release its first estimate
for overall economic growth for the third quarter as measured
by the gross domestic product. Even after the disappointing
durable goods report, analysts said they still believe the econo-
my grew at a solid 3 percent annual rate in the July-September
period. Many believe growth will continue at a healthy clip in
the final three months of this year.
The first half of the year was much more of a roller coaster.
The economy contracted at an annual rate of 2.1 percent in
the first quarter, reflecting the impact of a harsh winter and
other adverse factors, and then bounced back to growth of 4.6
percent in April-June period.
The Institute for Supply Management reported that its
closely watched barometer of manufacturing performance fell
to 56.6 in September from 59 in August.
Analysts said that the slowdown was consistent with a
recent drop-off in global demand. While most economists
believe that strong domestic demand can offset any weakness
from exports, others urged more caution.
Moderate growth remains the likely path for U.S. manu-
facturing, but the downside risks for short-term factory sector
performance are growing, said Cliff Waldman, director of
economic studies for the research affiliate of the Manufacturers
Alliance for Productivity and Innovation.
American, US Airways merging mile programs in 15
DALLAS (AP) American Airlines
and US Airways will combine their fre-
quent flier programs early next year and,
for now, still base free flights on how
many miles customers fly.
Competitors Delta and United plan
to base awards on how much customers
spend, which helps travelers who buy
expensive first-class and business-class
tickets.
But executives of American Airlines
Group Inc. said Tuesday that they want
to deal with the mechanics of folding the
US Airways program into Americans
AAdvantage before addressing such a
major change. The combined program
will have about 100 million members.
AAdvantage is the granddaddy of
airline frequent-flier programs and was
widely copied for three decades. In
recent years, however, the trend has
been to reward customers who spend the
most money often business travel-
ers who buy costly, last-minute tickets.
Leisure travelers usually lose benefits.
Southwest Airlines and JetBlue
Airways base awards on spending, and
Delta Air Lines and United Airlines will
do so beginning next year.
Suzanne Rubin, president of
Americans reward program, said that
the company wanted to work first on
the details of combining two programs
before considering switching to a
spending-based system. She said that
American was watching how customers
react to changes at other airlines.
The biggest change announced
Tuesday will be the way that custom-
ers get upgrades. Those who fly at least
100,000 miles a year, the top-level elite
members, will continue to get unlimited
upgrades on domestic flights.
But once American and US Airways
combine their reservations systems late
next year, elites at the lower 25,000- and
50,000-mile levels will have to cash in
mileage-based upgrade certificates or
pay for upgrades on flights longer than
500 miles. Thats a loss of a free perk for
lower-level US Airways elites.
Those US Airways elites below
executive platinum might say, Hey, I
spend $20,000 a year on your airline,
and now youre going to make me pay
for upgrades? said Brian Karimzad
of MileCards.com, a site that tracks
travel credit cards and loyalty programs.
Thats the segment (American execu-
tives) are putting at risk.

Dear Abby
Season signals time to change
batteries as well as clocks
DEAR ABBY: Smoke alarms
are one of the greatest fire safety
success stories of our time. Since
they were introduced in 1975,
home fire deaths have been cut
in half, even as the nations
population has increased by half.
But far too many people let the
batteries in their smoke alarms
wear out, or even remove them to
avoid occasional nuisance alarms.
And too many people -- and their
families -- pay for their neglect or
poor judgment with their lives.
About 2,500 people a year die
in structural -- mostly residential
-- fires. According to the National
Fire Protection Association,
more than 60 percent of them --
over 1,500 people -- are dying in
homes that had either no smoke
alarms or no working ones. Thats
more than three people a day.
This fall marks the 27th
consecutive year the International
Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC)
will partner with Energizer,
the manufacturer of batteries,
flashlights and lanterns, in the
Change Your Clock Change Your
Battery program. Together, were
asking people to test their existing
batteries or install fresh ones in
their smoke alarms in conjunction
with the end of daylight saving
time on Sunday, Nov. 2. It takes
only a few minutes. This will
not only give families critical
early warning time to escape
a fire, but also helps to protect
our firefighters by reducing the
likelihood theyll have to enter a
burning home to rescue someone
still inside.
Your daily column helps people
improve their lives. Please help
me save lives by printing my
letter. Thank you, Abby. -- FIRE
CHIEF G. KEITH BRYANT,
IAFC PRESIDENT
DEAR CHIEF BRYANT:
Youre welcome. Its tragic to
read and hear about families who
have died because of something
that could have been so easily
prevented.
Readers, Im giving you notice.
Friday is Halloween, and Saturday
night at bedtime is when youll
be turning your clocks back to
standard time. Please remember
to add smoke detector batteries to
your shopping list this week. That
way, theyll be at hand when we
check our smoke alarms to ensure
they are working properly.
No procrastinating! Home fires
happen more frequently during the
cold winter months, so protecting
yourselves and your families at
this time of year is particularly
important.
DEAR ABBY: I have a T-shirt
I bought when I was younger and
wilder. It has a filthy message on
it, so I cant donate it to charity,
and Im even embarrassed to
throw it out. Id hate to, because
I have worn it only once. It seems
wasteful to throw out something
in such good shape.
What should I do? -- MORE
MATURE NOW
DEAR MORE MATURE:
People who wear T-shirts with
filthy slogans send a message
that they either agree with what it
says or think its funny. Because
the shirt no longer speaks for
you, wear it when youre alone
in your house, or admit you made
a mistake in buying it and turn it
into a dust rag.

Ask Mr. Know-it-All
Little girl in Curly
Sue is all grown up
Q: Can you
please tell me what
happened to Alisan
Porter, the actress
who played Curly
Sue in the movie of
the same name? --
V.A., Bonita Springs,
Fla.
A: Curly Sue was
released in 1991 and
starred Jim Belushi,
Alisan Porter, Kelly
Lynch, Steve Carell
and Fred Thompson.
Alisan Porter was
born in Worcester,
Mass., on June
20, 1981. Shes
been singing and
performing since
age 3, and at 5, she
became the youngest
person ever to win
Star Search. Shes
appeared on several
TV shows
and films;
shes also had
major roles on
Broadway. In
March 2012,
she married
her longtime
b o y f r i e n d ;
they have
one son. The family
lives in Los Angeles,
where Porter is
pursuing a career in
music and writes a
regular column for
a dance magazine,
movmnt.
Q: What happened
to Clark Gables
son, who was born
after Gables death?
-- F.C., Normandy,
Tenn.
A: John Clark
Gable was a celebrity
while still in his
mothers womb.
When he was born
on March 20, 1961,
his father had been
dead for four months,
the victim of heart
failure.
John Gable has
been described
as a gangling and
ruggedly handsome.
In 1990, he appeared
in his first film, Bad
Jim. He has been in
a few other movies
over the years, and
he is filming Sunset
at Dawn now. John
Gable inherited
$400,000 from his
fathers estate, which
is equivalent to more
than $3 million today.
Q: In the fall
of 1943,
former child
star Jackie
C o o p e r
e n r o l l e d
at the
Uni versi t y
of Notre
Dame in
South Bend,
Ind., in a program
that developed U.S.
Navy officers. He
was later dismissed
and was sent to
Great Lakes, Ill., as a
regular enlistee. What
happened? -- J.W.J.,
Charles City, Iowa
A: Cooper
enrolled in the U.S.
Naval training at
the University of
Notre Dame, but he
flunked out after a
delinquency trial.
He faced charges
of contributing to
the delinquency of
a 15-year-old girl
during a drinking
party on July 22,
1944. The trial started
September 29, 1944,
and lasted several
days. Cooper was
not charged with any
sexual improprieties,
but he was accused
of supplying a bottle
of whiskey. The then-
21-year-old Cooper
was acquitted. By
early November
1944, Cooper had
flunked out at Notre
Dame -- due to
missing so many
classes -- and was
assigned to the Great
Lakes naval training
center.
Cooper, an Oscar
nominee at age 9,
died May 3, 2011, at
age 88.

Spring forward, fall over
The days are
getting shorter. And
so am I. I dont think
Im gaining weight,
I just think gravity is
slowly squishing me
into a planet-shaped
thing. Its doing to me
what its done to the
Earth and the moon
and the Sun: making
me dense, round and
wrinkled.
Or maybe the lack of
light is just depressing
me. Theyre going
to change the clocks
soon, from daylight
saving time back to
standard.
Instead of changing
all the clocks,
wouldnt it be easier
for all schools and
businesses to simply
open an hour later?
Instead of working 9
to 5, in the winter we
could work 10 to 6.
The same amount of
work would get done.
Schools could open
and close an hour
later than usual. The
children would hate it
just as much.
At one time, back
when there was only
one clock in the
average home, it was
probably easier to
change the clock than
it was to change an
office or a factorys
hours. Who knew
that one day, every
appliance in the
average home would
have a clock? Every
microwave, every
TiVo, every phone,
every thermostat,
every treadmill,
every coffeemaker,
every radio, every
toothbrush, every
stovetop has a clock
that must be changed.
Want a fun way to
waste a day? Try
getting your stovetop
clock and your
microwave clock to
display the same exact
time. One will always
say 8:31 when the
other says 8:32. The
way things are going,
soon your sofa will
come with a built-in
timer.
Not to mention
the actual clocks that
clutter our bedstands
and hallways. Sue
and I both have alarm
clocks. I never reset
mine, because I never
use it to wake up. Its
only there so I can tell
Sue what time her cat
sat on my head last
night, and long ago I
realized that accuracy
in cat behavior is
not a big deal with
her. Certainly not
something she wants
to hear about at 3 or 4
a.m. An hour one way
or the other doesnt
seem to faze her.
Sue sets her alarm
with great care,
always making it
exactly 15 minutes
early so shell never
be late. All winter
long, she stews about
my clock, because the
first thing she sees
when she wakes up is
my clock telling her
shes 45 minutes
behind schedule. I
figure it makes up for
the cat thing.
In the car, I have to
pull out the manual to
remember how to set
the clock. I never had
to worry about this
when I was a kid. The
clock and the radio in
my cars never worked.
Neither did the car,
most of the time. Now
I drive cars where the
clock and the radio
both work, but who
needs the clock? On
the radio, practically
all they do is tell me
what time it is. Its the
top of the hour, its the
bottom of the hour,
its 22 past the hour,
its the weather on
the 8s, its the traffic
report on the 10s. All
as if I dont already
have a cellphone, a
watch and a clock on
the dash that can tell
me the time. Im sure
somebody out there
in radioland doesnt
know what time it is,
but I wouldnt brag
about him being a
listener. He probably
doesnt know what
day it is, either.
Changing the
clocks just seems
like such a bother for
the little benefit we
get out of it. Now,
if we could change
the calendar, going
from fall to spring
and cutting out winter
altogether, I could get
behind that in a big
way. Wouldnt it be
great to fall asleep on
the last day of fall and
wake up on the first
day of spring? Thatd
be worth a little
inconvenience.

This is the year for you to be
more assertive. Discipline and
sticking to a strict regimen will
help you reach your goals. Most
importantly, its necessary to
make sure that others know you
mean business. You will make
great progress if you are frm,
decisive and proactive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Friends and relatives will
question what you are trying
to accomplish. Your impulsive
nature and effervescent
disposition will attract attention
and bring about a personal
challenge.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Its vital that
you keep meticulous records
of your personal expenditures
and assets. You work hard, but
money has a way of slipping
through your fngers if you
become too complacent.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- You will have to
decide whether a romantic
relationship has become too
one-sided. If you do not share
the same depth of feeling, a
serious discussion is in order.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) -- Trust your intuition
if something doesnt feel
right, and make the necessary
alterations. Use discretion,
and refrain from being
too forthcoming with your
opinions to avoid being put in
a vulnerable position.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- An unusual creative
project will get you heading in
a new direction. Not only will
you make new acquaintances,
but you will also discover
abilities and skills you didnt
know you had.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Find a quiet corner
where you can refect on your
personal life and explore your
emotions. Soul-searching will
give you a better understanding
of your motivations, needs and
wants.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Let your charm lead
the way. New friendships will
develop if you mingle. Attend
events that bring you into
contact with those who share
your favorite pastimes.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Read the fne print. Make
sure you understand whats
included and what isnt. Its up
to you to be diligent and to ask
questions before you sign on
the dotted line.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- You may be feeling
anxious or temperamental. You
wont be helping anyone if you
fy off the handle. Keep your
opinions to yourself for now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Things will improve if
you work alone. You will
accomplish more without
distractions or interruptions
and if you eliminate jobs that
have been put on hold for too
long.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Take advantage of your high
energy and clear thinking so
you will be able to accomplish
your goals and open up time to
do things you enjoy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- You will face ups and downs
regarding family matters.
Listen to complaints and work
to rectify the problems that
exist before they have a chance
to escalate. Its essential to
cooperate.

Todays joke:
A woman was arrested for shoplifting. When she
went before the judge he asked her, What did you
steal?
She replied, A can of peaches.
The judge asked her why she had stolen them and
she replied that she was hungry. The judge then asked
her how many peaches were in the can. She replied
five. The judge then said, I will give you five days
in jail.
Before the judge could actually pronounce the
punishment, the womans husband spoke up and
asked the judge if he could say something. The judge
said, What is it?
The husband said, She also stole a can of peas.

On Aug. 13, Governor John R. Kasich and BWC Administrator/
CEO Steve Buehrer announced a second $1 billion rebate - Another
Billion Back - to Ohios private employers and public employer
taxing districts, as well as a major new investment in worker safety
research and training. Both rebates were made possible by strong
investment returns in the workers compensation fund. The plan:
Provides a one-time rebate of $1 billion for private employers
and public employer taxing districts;
Increases BWCs commitment to safety by up to $35 million
over the next two years; and
Creates several new safety initiatives that use BWCs occu-
pational health and safety expertise to create innovative solutions
for improving the safety, health and wellness of Ohios workforce.
The BWC began mailing rebate checks this month. Private
employers and public employer taxing districts that pay premium
into the State Insurance Fund and have active, up-to-date policies
will be eligible for the rebate.

In his motion, he cited five reasons
including; the development of a written
sidewalk ordinance, the safety of children
at bus stops, a complete review of the vil-
lages 1993 ordinance, the development
of a priority listing of locations for new
sidewalks and when all other items are
complete, the village can then begin a
sidewalk plan.
Council voted and two members
agreed on tabling the sidewalk plan and
three members opposed.
The meeting drew a crowd of resi-
dents who expressed their views on the
ordinance. Among them was resident
Louise Miller who said she and her fam-
ily who own the property at 102 Sunset
Drive did not receive appropriate written
notice. She said it was a matter of safety
and security and maintenance.
The location of the walk would be
25 feet off our bedroom wall. It may
invite anyone to wander into our yard
any day, anytime, she said. What cri-
teria was used to determine the need for
the sidewalk? No property owners were
contacted and all are against it.
Miller said she and her husband - an
older adult couple - take care of the
front sidewalk themselves and the addi-
tional maintenance with clearing snow,
snowdrifts and chunks of road would be
difficult for them. She said she was told
by Councilman Tony Langhals that the
cemetery people were having problems
with cemetery walkers.
Cemetery Board member Mary Ann
Beining said as a taxpaying citizen, she
is disappointed in council. She said there
was no notification, it was posted in the
Post Office and a few other loca-
tions from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3. Meeting
minutes explained that Langhals would
answer any questions at the cemetery,
where he was measuring for the walkway
on a specified day and time. Beining said
she was told by Langhals that residents
approved of the sidewalks.
We (the cemetery) are not in any
financial condition to pay for a new side-
walk, Beining said.
Resident Lynne Horstman said as a kid
she used access through the cemetery and
her kids walk or ride their bikes through
the cemetery to visit their grandparents.
Can we as a town afford these
unneeded and unwanted sidewalks?
Horstman asked. We need criteria and
a plan. Why alienate the town who have
supported this council?
Father Jerry Schetter questioned how
many times the sidewalk ordinance has
been used and suggested the new ordi-
nance be revised.
Why is city council building side-
walks? he asked. Its their job to
enforce sidewalks and the property
owners responsibility to have sidewalks
installed on their property.
He said in 21 years, every house
should have a sidewalk in front of it.
If the ordinance is not doing its job,
then change it, Father Schetter said.
Govern the village responsibly.
Resident Gary Byrne said the con-
cerns are legitimate and 20 percent of the
population live out that way where kids
have to cross the road to get to school or
other activities unless their parents drop
them off.
Most of the problem isnt about
the sidewalk, its about whos paying
for it, Byrne said. Why is everybody
opposed?
He said the walks will lead to the
cemetery and cross over the highway
(Route 66) which will be access to town
and should have been done 20 years ago.
Langhals said he appreciated every-
body speaking their minds and thats the
way it should be.
The ordinance has not been passed
and I visited people to discuss the plan,
he said. We (council) have backed up
several times during the process. Its not
official.
Langhals said Ottoville is the only
village that pays 30 percent of the cost of
the new walks.
It was our idea that it (Route 66) was
the best place to start, Langhals said.
We have to start somewhere.
You told me it was a go, Miller said.
Why did you take out a contract?
We had to get measurements and
property owner information, Langhals
replied. Been trying to include the hom-
eowners.
Try to do it right, fairly and just-
ly, Father Schetter said. Its an unjust
assessment. The Ohio Revise Code
(ORC) does not specify you can assess
residents.
Council member Karen Hoersten said
she wanted to table it (sidewalk ordi-
nance) for now until council can review
the document and move on.
Fiscal Officer Jeanne Wannemacher
made the resolution and motion to pay
Watch Guard $4,895 for the new equip-
ment for the police cruisers. Council
approved.
Members also approved to pay Miller
Contracting $49,813 for the work and
materials they have provided on the fire
station including the new brick fascia,
spouting and metal wall sections.
Wannemacher also asked council to
approve a change order increasing the
funds for sludge removal to include an
additional $663 and the $35,000 appro-
priated to the sewer fund in September.
The second reading of the Golf Cart
Ordinance was also read and approved
by council.
Additionally, Brian Goubeaux of
Choice One Engineering spoke with
council about the Bendele Street Storm
Sewer application made to the Ohio
Public Works Commission (OPWC)
recently. The grant will be for the sum of
$133,000 and the remainder of the cost of
the project, $271,826, will be in the form
of an interest-free loan.
The sewer improvement will most
likely get funded, he said The applica-
tion was passed onto district and there
should be an award letter coming in the
near future.
Goubeaux also said hed like to begin
planning for the surveying since it is
much easier to do before winter weather
starts.
Mayor Miller said the work will re-
plumb storm taps and repair broken catch
basins. He asked Goubeaux to put togeth-
er a proposal for the engineers drawings.
Infiltrations and Inflow (INI) prob-
lems will be helped with new storm traps
and good outlets, Goubeaux said.
Its not approved yet, Miller said.
We are in the top five.
Board of Public Affairs (BPA) mem-
ber Phil Hilvers said INI sump pumps
need to come out of the system.
Wannemacher and Water Treatment
Plant Supervisor Steve Wittler have been
canvassing homes and documenting
sewer pump connections, he explained.
We need to find the number of sump
pumps connected to storm sewer since
INI is big from those areas, Hilvers
said. We need to provide an outlet for
everybody.
Wittler said on Auglaize Street, nine
of 12 homes with basements are tapped
into the storm sewer.
Council members also listened
to Conrad Beck from Ohio Insurance
Plan pitch his village property insur-
ance quote. He discussed raising limits
from $1-$2 million and explained aggre-
gate plans. He cited the Ohio Insurance
Plans significant difference is that the
Public Entities Pool (PEP) policy claim
part of their assets in monies they have
not received yet which are basically
unpaid claims they anticipate.
Council discussed the options and
policies and choose to go with a quote
from Altenburger Insurance, which was
$16,088 for the year up two percent
from last year as compared to the Ohio
Insurance Plan at $19,224.
I did not see some things included
in the Ohio Insurance Plan policy and
it does not cover the liquor liability,
Hoersten said.
It is not ethical to have a sitting
council member selling insurance to the
village, Langhals said.
The insurance board said it is not
illegal, Wannemacher said.
The next council meeting will be held
at 7 p.m. Nov. 24 in council chambers.

PAHOA, Hawaii (AP)
After weeks of slow, stop-
and-go movement, a river of
asphalt-black lava was less than
the length of a football field
from homes in a Big Island
community Tuesday.
The lava flow easily burned
down an empty shed at about
7:30 a.m., several hours after
entering a residential property
in Pahoa Village, said Hawaii
County Civil Defense Director
Darryl Oliveira.
A branch of the molten
stream was less than 100 yards
from a two-story house. It could
hit the home later Tuesday if it
continues on its current path,
Oliveira estimated.
Residents of Pahoa Village,
the commercial center of the
islands rural Puna district south
of Hilo, have had weeks to pre-
pare for whats been described
as a slow-motion disaster. Most
have either already left or are
prepared to go.
At least 50 or 60 structures
including homes and busi-
nesses are in the area likely
to be hit.
Imelda Raras lives on Apaa
Street, which was hit by the
lava Sunday. She and her
husband are ready to go to a
friends home if officials tell
them they should leave.
We are still praying, Raras
said. I hope our home will be
spared.
On Tuesday morning, civil
defense officials said the lava
was about 500 yards from
Pahoa Village Road, which
runs through downtown and is
one of the towns main roads.
Josiah Hunt, who has farm in
a part of Puna that is not imme-
diately threatened, described
smelling burning grass, feeling
warmth from the lava and hear-
ing popping and sizzling and
all the methane bursts that are
happening in the distance
mixed with the birds chirping
and the coqui frogs.
S L O W - M O T I O N
DISASTER
Scientists began warning
the public about the lava from
Kilauea volcano Aug. 22. At the
time, residents were cleaning up
from a tropical storm that made
landfall over the Puna district.
The flows advance has
been inconsistent, ranging from
about 2 to 20 yards per hour,
depending on topography, said
Janet Babb, a spokeswoman
for the Hawaiian Volcano
Observatory.
The couple living in the
house closest to the flow evac-
uated but have returned peri-
odically to gather belongings,
Oliveira said. At one point they
allowed civil defense workers to
view the lava from their balcony.
A branch of the lava flow
was about 100 yards from
the house Tuesday, while the
flow front was about 200
yards from another home on
the property.
Raras said she and her
husband began putting their
belongings in storage in
September. What they cant
take with them theyre pho-
tographing for insurance pur-
poses.
