Giants beat KC 3-2 in Series Game 7
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)

Madison Bumgarner pitched five
innings of near-perfect relief and the San
Francisco Giants held off the Kansas
City Royals 3-2 Wednesday night in
Game 7 of the World Series for their
third championship in five seasons.
With both starters chased early, this
became a matchup of bullpens. And
no one stood taller than the 6-foot-5
Bumgarner, who added to his postseason legacy with a third victory this
Series.
After center fielder Gregor Blanco
misplayed Alex Gordons drive for a
single and two-base error, Bumgarner
got Salvador Perez to pop foul to third

baseman Pablo Sandoval for the final
out.
The Giants ended a Series
streak that had seen home teams
win the last nine Game 7s. San
Francisco took this pairing of
wild-card teams after earning
titles in 2012 and 2010.
Pitching on two days rest
after his shutout in Game 5,
Bumgarner entered in the fifth
with a 3-2 lead. After giving up
a leadoff single to Omar Infante, he shut
down the Royals until Gordons hit.
Neither manager wanted to be
caught waiting too long to make a move

and Bruce Bochy pulled Tim Hudson in
the second. Jeremy Affeldt relieved and
threw 2 1-3 scoreless innings in
his longest stint since 2012.
Giants designated hitter
Michael Morse drove in two
runs, including a go-ahead single
in the fourth off Kelvin Herrera.
A moment earlier, Royals manager Ned Yost had yanked starter
Jeremy Guthrie.
After a Series full of lopsided
results, this quickly shaped as something much more tight and tense.
Bochy spent a lot of time on the field.
A public meeting will be

held at 7 p.m. prior to the
regular scheduled meeting
on Nov. 10 at the Marion
Township Office at 5405
Kiggins Road, Delphos.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss to discuss

County unveils
new help line for
social services
LIMA - Allen County Children Services (ACCS) is looking

for a renewal of the 5-year .75-mill levy supporting childrens
services which will be on Tuesdays ballot.
Executive Director Cynthia Scanland said the agencys main
goal is to alleviate barriers so kids can be maintained safely at
home. She said the entire agency benefits from levy funding
because of the flexibility of the funds.
Levy funds are unlike federal and state monies where a
match is required in order to access the funds which have spending restrictions, Scanland said. The renewal levy will generate
$1,385,869 for the agency without an increase and will cost a
person with an average $100,000 home about $23 per year.
Scanland said Ohio ranks 50th in the nation in its contributions to child welfare funding 10 percent or less and
nationally, the average states contribution is 43 percent, which
places an even greater need on community support via levy
funding.
Child abuse and neglect often occur in families under stress
or in the middle of a crisis. Parents and other caregivers are
sometimes overwhelmed by todays pressures and may not be
able to cope with personal, financial or marital problems. Drug
and alcohol abuse may trigger abusive or neglectful behavior
and there is a growing correlation between domestic violence
and child abuse.
Scanland said the majority of the investigations encompass
neglect, physical abuse or sexual abuse. Reports of alleged
abuse or neglect are referrals that rise to the level of government intervention with a formal assessment/investigation. The
number of reports have consistently risen in the previous years.
In 2008, there were 571 assessment/investigations of child
abuse/neglect as compared to 2013, where there were 967
involving 2,334 children,she reported.

VAN WERT Its a new way for people in Van Wert
County to be connected to services which could ease a rough
situation or provide assistance. And its an easy number to
remember 2-1-1.
On Wednesday, the United Way of Van Wert County introduced 2-1-1 to the community.
2-1-1 is an information and referral resource staffed with
trained professions who provide free, confidential and easy
access to information, announced Deb Russell, United Way
of Van Wert County executive director. 2-1-1 can be accessed
24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The United
Way of Van Wert County is grateful to the State of Ohio Job
and Family Services, where we received a grant to cover the
first three years cost of having 2-1-1 in the community.
The system was introduced by Nick Roman, director from
211 for Ohio United Way, and Diane Gatto-Barrett, who heads
the Cleveland call center, where calls from Van Wert will be
answered. Roman pointed out that the 211 program is now in
67 of Ohios 88 counties, taking in 91 percent of the states
population.
2-1-1 is a gateway to health and human services, explained
Gatto-Barrett. It makes it easy for people to connect to
the resources they would otherwise have no idea existed
It streamlines everything so people arent going from the
Salvation Army to the Community Action Center, here and
there, finding out they arent eligible, and being referred all
over the place. It saves them time, it saves them energy, it saves
their pride. I think 2-1-1 is a great thing for the community.
Over the past 12 months, all the information possible has
been gathered from service-providers all over the county. The
United Way financially helps to support 24 different organizations throughout the area.
The service is not simply an information line, but persons

Some who have spent time in Fort Jennings Memorial Hall report curious
events. (DHI Media file photo)
By Steven Coburn-Griffis

FORT JENNINGS Fort Jennings
Memorial Hall has held its share of memories,
a good deal of history and, of late, more than
its share of controversy. It is also possible,
according to more than a few, that it holds
something of a more other-worldly nature.
Dr. Wesley Klir, a principal member of
the Fort Jennings Memorial Hall Association,
remarked that during and since the halls
restoration, several events have piqued his
curiosity.
One such occasion occurred while refinishing the conference room floor. He and another
resident from the village, who Klir insisted
remain nameless, were working a long weekend, struggling to finish the project in just two
days.
We spent some very late nights there
trying to get this done, Klir recounted. It
was about 11:30 on a Saturday evening and

he stopped his sander, turned to me and said,
Who else is here? Somebody just walked up
those steps.
The two men searched the building, checking doors and windows and finding all closed
and locked. Of the shadowy figure seen
climbing the stairs, there was no sign. Later,
over the same weekend, materials that were
there one moment had simply disappeared the
next and were never seen again.
After the buildings reopening, one of the
actors performing in a dinner theater event
again caught sight of an apparition.
One of the performers asked me at the end
of the night, Is there a ghost in this building?
The show was over, I looked out in the audience and theres a man sitting in one of the
chairs in old garb, Klir related. The woman
glanced away and back again, only to find the
seat empty, her audience gone.

AGRIBUSINESS
Cover crops can help

with cold, wet soils
BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County
Extension Ag Educator
Harvest has been slowed
due to a drizzly wet fall;
however, most farmers have
recently made good progress
on harvesting soybeans and
corn.
Early reports are average
to slightly above average soybean yields and above average corn yields.
Above average rainfall
in May and June and then
drier weather in late July
and August, especially in
the northern part of Putnam
County, hurt soybean yields.
One farmer commented that
corn yields ranged from 70 to
250 bushels in the same field
with the lower yields associated with drowned-out areas.
Several farmers commented that no-till soybeans in
corn stalks really struggled
this year. Where they tilled
the corn stalks, they think the
soybeans are yielding better.
That could be why farmers
appear to be doing more tillage this year.
If you attended Nutrient
Management Certification,
they heard that phosphorous
needs to be incorporated.
I prefer the term injected
because if you tell a farmer
he needs to incorporate his
fertilizer, most times they
want to get out the plow!
Unfortunately, that is the
wrong message.
Fertilizer needs to come
in contact with the soil and
banding phosphorus fertilizer with starter fertilizer is a
better management tool, then
massive tillage. Aggressive
tillage is going to lead to more
soil erosion and increased
water runoff and unfortunate-
ly, higher soluble phosphorus

in our surface water.
So how should farmers
deal with cold wet soils in
the spring?
In 2014, we had a cold
winter that lingered into
spring. When farmers till a
soil, they dry it out, losing
0.5-1 inch of water to the
atmosphere, which causes the
soil to warm up. It takes 10
times more energy to warm
up cold water than it does to
warm up air.
Tillage is a short-term
answer to a long-term problem. Tillage destroys your
soil structure resulting in
compacted soil and a loss of
soil organic matter. A major
reason soils are cold and wet
in the spring in corn stalks
is due to poor surface drainage due to poor soil structure. Yes, the stalks may keep
your soils cooler, but with
good soil health, those stalks
should decompose in the fall.
Farmers who added
cereal rye to corn stalks last
year found out the rye roots
improved their drainage and
improved soil structure by
adding soil organic matter. Farmers with cereal rye
planted in corn stalks had a
warmer and drier place to
plant soybeans. Live cereal
rye plants dries out the soil
five to seven days earlier due
to transpiration (loss of water
to atmosphere). Soybeans
benefit from the mulch by
keeping the weeds down and
from the increased soil organic matter which conserves
moisture in a dry summer.
Cereal rye also help suppress germinating weeds;
however, the cereal rye has
to be planted before the
weeds germinate in the fall.
Late planted cereal rye will
not control weeds that have

already germinated. Mark

Loux, OSU Weed scientist,
found that cereal rye gave
similar results (80+ percent
weed control) as fall applied
herbicides in 2012 but not as
good of control in 2013.
In 2013, the cereal rye was
planted late and terminated
earlier in the spring.
Weed control benefits
from cereal rye come from
earlier planting and the allelopathic and/or toxic effect
cereal rye stems and leaves
have on weeds. For some
reason, soybeans planted in
the spring are not affected
but corn can be hurt unless
the cereal rye is harvested or
killed early (at least two to
three weeks before planting
corn).
So this fall, rather than
doing tillage and ruining
your soil structure, consider
planting a cover crop like
rye (.5 bushel to 1 bushel per
acre). Rye germinates at 32
degrees Fahrenheit so it can
be sowed all the way up to
mid-November.

wildlife that depend on flooded rice fields as habitat. Every
fall, millions of waterfowl fly south from Canada and Alaska
to spend their winters in Californias Central Valley.
After the fall harvest, farmers usually cover their fields with
water to break down the rice stalks, creating wetlands habitat
for millions of ducks and geese that can feed on uncollected
grains and other plants.
It is environmentally a very nice crop to have in the system. It mimics the natural system of a couple hundred years
ago, when that area was wetlands, said Bruce Lindquist, a rice
researcher at the University of California, Davis.
In a typical year, rice farms flood 250,000 to 300,000 acres
in winter, but this year as few as 50,000 acres may be flooded
because of water restrictions, according to the rice commission.
Conservationists are worried that waterfowl and shorebirds
will be at greater risk for disease as they crowd together in
fewer rice fields and wetlands.
The
When you have less rice out there, the impacts are significant for our environment, our economy, for the farms as well,
said Jim Rice, a rice commission spokesman.
This year, conservation groups are renting 14,000 acres
from rice farmers and temporarily flooding them, turning the

A step back from

the real to the real
JIM METCALFE
Metcalfes
Musings
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
Sometimes, we need to take a step back at least I do
take a deep breath and count our blessings.
First we had the Ice Bucket Challenge to benefit ALS
research, a worthy cause.
Then of course we had someone misuse that good
cause to hurt another human being by using a well, a
bodily function bucket.
I hope the persons that did that get drawn and quartered
seriously. That makes me sick.
Hopefully, that doesnt take away the good that can be
done with this challenge and maybe, just maybe, we can
fund the right research that will truly come up with a cure
for Lou Gehrigs Disease, not what fails.
Then this story that is on-going: The #Layup4Lauren
Challenge.
Lauren Hill is a freshman basketball at Mount St.
Joseph University who will debut for the Division III
school in November.
Nothing to see here, right?
She is just an ordinary womens cager attending college
and will go on to a career that doesnt involve the WNBA,
right?
Not in the least.
I know some of you know the story but Lauren is a
19-year-old who has Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Giloma, an
inoperable brain cancer.
She was diagnosed with this condition a year ago and
her prognosis is not very good it calls for her death
within a short amount of time, whether it be days or a few
months at most.
She was originally supposed to debut her freshman
season Nov. 15 but because of her condition and the fact
she might not last that long, the NCAA has allowed that
game against Hiram College to be moved up to Sunday at
the Cintas Center.
The 10,000-seat arena was sold out in less than a day!
I wont get into all the details of what she is going
through we all know someone who is battling cancer
and what they go through to deal with it.
We see them holding their head up high with a quiet
dignity and refusing to go away quietly.

Musketeer boys earn Regional finals in soccer

BY CHARLIE
WARNIMONT
DHI Media Correspondent
TIFFIN - Fort Jennings

struggled out of the gate to
start the 2014 soccer season.
At the moment that seems
like a distant memory. The
Musketeers are hitting their
stride as they continue to pick
up win after win this postseason.
Wednesday,
the
Musketeers showed how
far they have come as they
defeated a veteran Swanton
team in the Division III
regional semifinals at Tiffins
Frost-Kalnow Stadium 2-0.
The win moves the
Musketeers (12-5-4) into the
regional finals Saturday at noon
against Mansfield Christian at
a site to be determined by the
OHSAA. Mansfield Christian,
the 2013 state runner-up in
Division III, defeated Elyria
Catholic 1-0 in the other semifinal last night.
We all are coming into
our own this tournament,
senior midfielder Mark
Metzger said. We didnt
have the greatest start to the
season but we are coming
together at the right time. Its
fantastic.
Ft. Jennings didnt take
long to start putting pressure
on the Swanton (12-6-3) goal
Wednesday evening as two
minutes into the contest, a
St. Johns head football coach Todd

Schulte has no delusions about what his
Blue Jays face Friday night as the 2014
regular season comes to a close.
Marion Local, defending champion
in Division VII and the title-winner in
Division VI the year before, is the opponent Friday night in a Midwest Athletic
Conference tussle in Maria Stein.
The 9-0 Flyers (7-0 MAC) are first
in Region 26 by almost nine points

Fort Jennings Alex Berelsman and Swantons Liam

Bloom collide battling for ball possession during
Wednesday nights Division III regional semifinal
at Tiffins Frost-Kalnow Stadium. The Musketeers
grabbed a 2-0 win. (DHI Media/Charlie Warnimont)
The Musketeers had two
more chances on goal before
Metzger nearly gave Ft.
Jennings the lead with 22:02
left in the half. Metzger was
able to run down a long pass
and get behind the Bulldog
defense as he was 1-on-1 with
Prentice only to hit his 15-yard

attempt off the crossbar.
While the Musketeers
were racking up shot
attempts, the Bulldogs didnt
get their first shot on-goal
until the midway point of the
half when Zak Turk was able
to dribble in on goal from the
left sideline. His shot was
denied by Musketeer goalie
Ryan Koester and cleared
away.
The two defenses then settled in for the next 10 minutes
before the Musketeers were
able to crack the scoreboard.
Junior midfielder Alex
Berelsman dribbled the ball
deep down the right sideline
where he finally was met by
a pair of Bulldog defenders.
Berelsman was able to maintain possession of the ball,
turn and slip a pass to Metzger
in the middle of the box.
Metzger was able to settle the
pass and fire a shot towards
the right corner of the goal
that Prentice was able to get a
hand on, but not control for a
1-0 Ft. Jennings lead.
The guys were knocking
the ball around and I just happened to be in the right place
at the right time, Metzger
said. I knew I had missed
one earlier and they would
have done it for me if they
had been in the middle, I just
slotted it home.

Blue Jays face mighty Flyers in regular finale
RAABE
11260 ELIDA RD. DELPHOS, OH
over second-place Sidney Lehman and

are going for an undisputed conference
title as they
head into a
home playoff game in
week 11.
On the
other hand,
the
Blue
Jays (4-5,
2-5 MAC)
are ranked
seventh in
Region 24
and remain in the hunt for the second
season.
You look at this Marion Local
team and we have seen no weaknesses or none that is apparent. They
are as good as advertised, Schulte
acknowledged. You look at what

they do on offense, defense and special teams and they are strong in all
of them. They are physical, strong,
deep and have good overall team
speed. They have the total package.
When you consider that and the
fact they are so well-coached
Coach (Tim) Goodwin and his staff
always have this team well-prepared
and they dont beat themselves,
that is a tough combination to beat.

Langer to be aggressive in Champions Tour finale

Associated Press
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Bernhard Langer
can afford to take an aggressive approach in
the Champions Tours Charles Schwab Cup
Championship.
The 57-year-old German star wrapped up
the Charles Schwab Cup points title Sunday
in San Antonio, taking a lot of the drama out
of the season-ending event that begins today
at Desert Mountain.
In the past, I was always either leading or
second or third and there was still a lot to play
for, Langer said Wednesday. Theres still a
lot to play for because were playing for a lot of
money but the Charles Schwab Cup is wrapped
up and thats great news for me. So, I can go
out there and play as aggressive as youll ever
see me play probably because I have nothing to
lose at all and everything to gain.
Langer has a tour-high five victories two
of them majors and also has wrapped up the
season money title with $2,916,189. He has 23
career victories on the 50-and-over tour.
The top 30 on the money list qualified for
the tournament.
Colin Montgomerie is second in the
Schwab Cup standings and the money list. He
also has two major victories this year.
Its my first full year out here and its
been a delight, Montgomerie said. Ive been
made very welcome by everybody, by fans
and by players and everyone alike, and then
all the volunteers on this tour. Its a great place
I play and I enjoy it thoroughly.
Love hits the road and gets some tips
KUALA LUMPUR At age 50, Davis
Love III doesnt need much advice on how to
approach golf tournaments. The tropical heat
of Malaysia this week and the expansion of
the PGA Tour will at least give him some
new experiences and challenges.

PGA TOUR/ASIAN TOUR
CIMB CLASSIC
Site: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Schedule: Today-Sunday.
Course: Kuala Lumpur Golf &
Country Club, West Course (6,985 yards,
par 72).
Purse: $7 million. Winners
share: $1.26 million.
Television: Golf Channel
(Today-Friday, noon-4 p.m., 11
p.m.-3 a.m.; Saturday, noon-4
p.m., 11 p.m.-2 a.m.; Sunday,

Last year: Ryan Moore
beat Gary Woodland with a
birdie on the first hole of a
playoff.
Last week: Robert Streb won the
McGladrey Classic in Georgia for his
first PGA Tour title, beating Brendon de
Jonge with a birdie on the second hole of
a playoff. Will MacKenzie was eliminated
on the first extra hole.
Notes: FedEx Cup champion Billy
Horschel is in the field along with Jason
in 2013 that sapped the strength in his left

arm, Love is ready to take on an international
schedule and eager to get his game back to
its best.
Two players familiar with the rigors of
regularly crisscrossing the globe are Sergio
Garcia and Lee Westwood, who are also in
the field for the CIMB Classic starting today
in Kuala Lumpur, and they had some advice
for Love and other PGA Tour players who are
getting accustomed to playing more regularly
outside of the United States.
No. 4 Garcia, the highest-ranked player in
the field, is making his first appearance since
the Ryder Cup and will play in a group with
Europe teammate Westwood and American
Patrick Reed, who were also part of the contest at Gleneagles last month.
As a player skipping between the PGA and
European tours, Garcia said the key to handling the travel is enjoyment and rest.
Its just a matter of getting used to it and
trying to take it with the best attitude possible,
Garcia said Wednesday. The hardest thing is
getting used to the jet lag and stuff like that.
I go through stretches when I play but also
through some stretches of maybe two, three or
four weeks off like I just had, mainly because
traveling is nice but it also takes energy out of
you and sometimes you need to disconnect a
little bit and recharge those batteries.
Westwood won the Malaysian Open on the
Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club course
in April, winning the co-sanctioned European
Tour and Asian Tour event by six strokes. He
shared some thoughts on how to approach the
energy-sapping conditions in Southeast Asia.
I dont think theres any real way to get
over jet lag, certainly I can testify to it,
Westwood said. I would imagine if you dont
travel much, then it comes as a bit of a shock
with a 12-hour time change from the East
Coast of America.

Committee takes long

view with playoff rankings
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
The first College Football Playoff rankings are in the
books. The top four for now is Mississippi State, Florida State,
Auburn and Mississippi, three teams from the SEC West and
the defending national champion Seminoles.
It is way too early and there are way too many games to
be played to get worked up about where teams were ranked
by the 12-member selection committee on Tuesday. There is a
good chance as many as three of the first four wont play for
the national championship and that a team lurking in the teens
might.
Scanning the rankings a few things jump out.
LONG VIEW
One of the big complaints about polls such as the AP Top
25 media rankings and the USA Today coaches poll is the
emphasis on whatever happened most recently. Teams fall
into a pecking order about a month or so into the season and
then move up or down depending upon most-recent results.
For example, Alabama is currently No. 3 in the AP poll and
Ole Miss fell to seventh after losing at LSU last week. But
the Rebels victory over the Crimson Tide earlier this season in
Oxford, Mississippi, carried weight with the committee, which
has Alabama sixth, behind Oregon at No. 5.
I will emphasize the clean slate, Arkansas athletic director and committee chairman Jeff Long said Tuesday. We will
take the new information from this weeks games and stay
with our process looking and comparing teams against teams.
I think there will be movement, maybe more so than there has
been in the past.
TEAMS NOT CONFERENCES
SEC fans think the top teams in other leagues wouldnt have
a chance in their favorite conference. Non-SEC fans think it is
overrated, aided by a fawning media.
Both groups are mostly wrong but the first playoff rankings
certainly will feed into their personal narratives.
Long said the committee isnt concerned about conferences.
We compared those teams against each other, teams within
their conference and outside their conference, Long said.
Theres a lot of talk about conference, we understand that,
but again in the committee room, its really not a conference
debate, its a team vs. who they played and won and lost.
All of those SEC West teams in the top six have games left
against each other.
BEST OF THE REST
The committee isnt just picking the teams to play in the
national semifinals on New Years Day. It will also fill out the
other big games on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 the Cotton Bowl,
Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl and Peach Bowl. That includes
choosing the best team from the so-called Group of Five conferences the Sun Belt, Conference USA, Mid-American,
Mountain West and American Athletic Conference.
After the first rankings East Carolina of the American is the
best of the rest, No. 23 in the rankings and the only team from
those conferences to make the committees top 25. Unbeaten
Marshall of C-USA could have a problem overcoming a weak
schedule that isnt getting substantially better.

Buckeyes not thrilled at No. 16 on playoff list

By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Urban Meyer took
a look at the initial College Football
Playoff rankings on Wednesday.
It took him a while to find his Ohio
State team.
Just real briefly. I just looked for
the Buckeyes. I just looked down and
saw where we were at, he said, a slight
grin playing at the corners of his mouth.
Thats it.
There was special emphasis on the
word down.
The Buckeyes (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten)
, ranked 13th in the coaches and The
Associated Press media polls, were 16th
on the first weekly list of the top 25
teams determined by the playoff selection committee and released Tuesday.
The Buckeyes are trying to gain
incentive off their ranking.
We were real disappointed, linebacker Curtis Grant said. Were hungry.
You know, we did it to ourselves. So, all
weve got to do is keep battling and keep
working and at the end of the day try to
work our way back to the top.
The Buckeyes arent surprised that
they have their work cut out for them
to make it into the college sports first
playoff.
They already knew they could not
afford a second loss as they prepare for
Saturdays game against Illinois (4-4,
1-3) and then a showdown the following
week at No. 8 Michigan State.

Ohio State was No. 8 in the nation
when it was soundly beaten at home by
Virginia Tech, 35-21, on Sept. 6. The
Hokies have since lost four times.
Jeff Long, the AD at Arkansas and
also chairman of the 12-member playoff committee, was asked about Ohio
States low placement.
It was not a good loss
for them, he replied of the
Buckeyes lone defeat. But
Ohio State has opportunities on their schedule to play
up, as many of these teams
do. Were still early in this
process.
The Buckeyes are ranked
third among Big Ten teams by the playoff committee, behind No. 8 Michigan
State and No. 15 Nebraska. Of course,
the Buckeyes could move up with a
win next week at Spartan Stadium. And
theres a distinct possibility if they were
to do that, they would most likely get
a shot at Nebraska in the Big Ten title
game.
Whats perhaps more troubling for
Ohio State fans was the Buckeyes listed
14th among one-loss teams. Thats an
indication of the low regard the committee has for the Buckeyes schedule and
conference.
Arguably, their biggest win might be
last weeks double-overtime victory over
a Penn State team that has lost three in a
row. The only other candidates would be
routs of new Big Ten members Rutgers

or Maryland, each of which is 5-3.
The Buckeyes were inconsistent
against Penn State a terrific defensive effort most of the way before
allowing a tying drive at the end of regulation, great offense in building a 17-0
first-half lead but then an unproductive, conservatively-called
second half.
Star freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett sprained the
medial-collateral ligament in
his left knee in that game,
but still ran for touchdowns
in each overtime to secure
the win.
Barrett said he intended to
play this weekend.
It would have to be something drastic that would happen between now and
8 oclock (on Saturday), he said. I plan
on playing.
Barrett said the Buckeyes arent even
thinking about the playoffs; theyre only
worried about playing well in the Big
Ten down the stretch.
Speaking on the Big Ten coaches
teleconference on Tuesday, Meyer said
he looked at the playoff committee much
as he did the Bowl Championship Series
just another imperfect way of determining who will play for the national
championship.
There is going to be a lot of controversy with this situation, he added. Its
not a foolproof way.
Ohio NFL Roundup

Associated Press
BENGALS
CINCINNATI The Bengals defense finally got its act
together after three rough weeks, holding down Baltimore just
enough to pull out a pivotal win. The challenge is to keep it
going without Cincinnatis best defensive player.
Pro Bowl linebacker Vontaze Burfict
will miss at least the next two games
following surgery on his left knee on
Wednesday. The Bengals (4-2-1) host
Jacksonville (1-7) on Sunday, then play
the Browns at Paul Brown Stadium on
Thursday night.
Burfict missed two games and parts of others with concussions early this season. Coordinator Paul Guenther pointed
out that the defense runs smoother and plays better all-around
when Burfict is on the field.
Burfict hurt his knee in the first quarter, had it examined
and returned for the rest of the game. He had arthroscopic
surgery on Wednesday to remove debris.
The next two weeks will be a challenge because linebacker
Rey Maualuga also is sidelined indefinitely with an injured
left hamstring. Maualuga didnt practice on Wednesday and
was limited to working out in a T-shirt and shorts.
The Bengals also missed Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green
for the last three games because of an injured right big toe.
He returned to practice on Wednesday on a limited basis and
reported no problems, an indication he could play against the
Jaguars.
The defense has been the biggest concern. It allowed 505,
431 and 506 yards in the three consecutive games, resulting
in two losses and a tie. On Sunday, the Ravens managed only
294 yards, their second-lowest total of the season. Joe Flacco
finished with a passer rating of 43.1, going 17 of 34 for 195
yards with two interceptions and a sack by Geno Atkins.
It was Atkins first sack since recovering from a torn ACL
suffered last Oct. 31 in Miami.
BROWNS
BEREA After another big game Sunday against the
Raiders, Cleveland Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins has
firmly established himself as quarterback Brian Hoyers go-to
security blanket.
Better yet, Hawkins son might just have a new favorite
team and player.
Were pulling him over, Hawkins said.
The 28-year-old receiver posted an Instagram video last
week of 2-year-old Austin, saying his favorite players were his
fathers former Bengals teammates, Mohamed Sanu and A.J.
Green. Hawkins then playfully puts Austin outside with his
luggage and wishes him luck after closing the door.
Its an all-Browns house, man. Hawkins said of the
video. Very low tolerance for treason in my house. Its hard
to get him out of that Cincinnati mindset.
Of course, if Hawkins continues to have this big an impact
for Cleveland, Austin might finally take the step into true
Browns fandom. On Sunday, Hawkins caught seven passes for
88 yards and a touchdown, his first with Cleveland.
Through the teams first seven games, Hawkins leads
the Browns in catches (36) and
yards (470). For a receiving corps
that had plenty of questions surrounding it going into the season,
Hawkins has been a welcomed
surprise for coach Mike Pettine.
But Hawkins isnt the only
wide receiver stepping up in
the absence of Pro Bowler Josh
Gordon, who is able to return to the Browns in Week 12 at
Atlanta. Miles Austin has remained healthy, grabbing 23
passes season, while Taylor Gabriel caught two for 60 yards
against Oakland and has 299 yards receiving since Week 3.
While Hawkins and the rest of the receivers have been
exceeding expectations, they might be asked to do even more
soon. Tight end Jordan Cameron left Sundays game with a
concussion and isnt practicing as he goes through the leagues
protocol for the injury.
LeBron set for Cavs season opener with closure

By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND This will be a season opener unlike any other one that
also brings closure.
Part homecoming, part family
reunion, part revival meeting and a huge
party rolled into one.
When LeBron James takes the court
tonight wearing a No. 23 Cavaliers uniform in a regular-season game for the
first time in four years, an entire city
will be able to wash away a painful past.
Any lingering bitterness will give way
to forgiveness and excitement about the
future.
For these fans, James said
Wednesday, it means everything.
Thats because he means everything
to them.
James and a Cavaliers team transformed over the summer by his return
plus the signing of All-Star guard
Kyrie Irving to a contract extension and
the acquisition of power forward Kevin
Love will open their NBA season on
Thursday night against the New York
Knicks at Quicken Loans Arena.
This is the night Cleveland has been
waiting for.
More than 20,000 fans, some paying more than $1,000 per ticket, will
welcome James back home to where he
began his basketball career. Hell again

Theres never been a night like it in
this citys tortured sports history and it
promises to be emotional for everyone,
including James.
It means everything to be able to
open our NBA campaign here in
Cleveland with these fans. Its
going to be a special moment,
James said after practice at the Q.
We cant take it for granted. You
dont get moments like this, they
dont come around every day.
The game will be secondary to the
spectacle surrounding James homecoming.
In the hours before tipoff, Nike will
unveil a new 10-story-banner of James

being removed in the days after he left.
A free concert featuring hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar and the rock band

from the arena and bars and restaurants
will be overflowing with fans, thousands
of whom cant get a ticket but want to

feels bigger than a title.

with the Cavs.

James return has not only made the
Cavs one of the top favorites to win a
title but he has spawned a financial wave
for the region that is still building.
Cavs owner Dan Gilbert said James
impact on the area is immeasurable
economically and emotionally. Its
created new jobs and other
growth, giving the city a
substantial shot in the arm
as it undergoes an urban
renaissance. Beyond that,
James has renewed hope
that Cleveland can celebrate its first pro
sports championship since 1964.
There are generations of Clevelanders
who have known only well-documented, nicknamed misery: The Drive, The
Fumble, The Shot, The Move, and, of
course, The Decision.
This is a chance to make it all feel
better.
And for James and Gilbert, who
have patched up their differences after
an ugly separation, this is all about taking Cleveland to the top after grinding
through the painful times.
A deafening roar will welcome James
onto the court when hes introduced as
the last member of Clevelands starting
lineup. It may take several minutes for
Cleveland fans to settle into their seats.
James, on the other hand, wont be
able to enjoy the celebration accompanying his comeback.
Not now.

8 The Herald
Musketeer
These kids have so much

energy and right off the bat
they were just exploding with
it, Ft. Jennings coach Gregg
Luthman said. That set the
pace. That gave the other
team the idea that this was
going to be a tough night and
we just kept at and kept at it.
That (not capitalizing on
scoring chances) has happened to us in quite a few
games where we have dominated play and havent put
a goal in until later in the
game. The kids have that persistence and a lot of that is
just them believing in themselves, Luthman added.
Ft. Jennings had a 10-3
edge in first-half shots but the
Bulldogs came out fired up
the second half, controlling
play and getting the ball to
Turk and sophomore Tanner
Jays
Prentice as both had two shots

in the opening minutes of the
half that sailed high, wide or
into the arms of Koester.
After that, the two teams
were trading possessions
without many shots being
taken.
With time winding down,
the Musketeers were able
to score a second goal with
13:57 left. With the Bulldog
defenders pushing up, a Ft.
Jennings defender was able
to send a long clearing pass
downfield. Sophomore Troy
Ricker was hanging back
around midfield and he
chased down the clear. He
then outraced the Swanton
defense and put a shot past
the Swanton goalie for a 2-0
lead.
From there, the Musketeer
defense was able to fend off
any Bulldog challenges preserving the shutout.
The Blue Jay offense (17.7 points, 237.3 yards per game)
will need big games from senior quarterback Nick Martz (144
rushes, 720 yards, 7 scores; 64-of-141 passing, 652 yards, 7
TDs, 5 picks), senior running backs Evan Hays (40 rushes, 348
yards, 5 TDs; 18 catches, 133 yards) and the injury-plagued
James Harrison (46 carries, 182 yards, 3 TDs; 4 games), sophomore wideouts Eric Vogt (20 catches, 209 yards) and Aaron
Reindel (10 grabs, 136 yards, 3 TDs) and senior linemen Wes
Buettner (10 pancake blocks) and Austin Schulte (10 pancake
blocks).
Our focus this week is on what we need to try and do; we
look at the scouting report, like always, but we dont really
worry about anything else, like their names, Coach Schulte
explained. The kids are fully aware of what Marion Local can
do, so our approach is why talk about it constantly.
The Blue Jay defense (25.9 points, 326.8 yards per) will
also be challenged, with the likes of Hays (43 solo tackles, 25
assists; 4 picks), Buettner (48 and 17, 5 for loss), senior Austin
Heiing (29 and 26), senior Alex Haunhorst (28 and 19), junior
Jordan Mohler (27 and 16) and Martz (20 and 19) needing
huge games to slow down the Flyer Express.
Though the Jays are coming off a 49-0 loss to Coldwater,
Coach Schulte sees the same attitude preparing for this week.
Thats a tough loss. However, the guys came in Monday
and worked hard in practice, same as always, he added. This
team has done this all year; no matter if we won the Friday
before or lost the Friday before, they always came in with the
same work ethic and good attitude Monday. Im not sure Ive
had a team like this in my 16 years here.
They have a smile on their faces and keep trying to get
better each week. Weve noticed no moping or bad attitudes at
practice; were all frustrated but you couldnt tell by the way
the kids work. Thats to the credit of this group of seniors;
they have been crucial to providing needed leadership during
some tough times. Thats why this team is very enjoyable to
be around.
Kickoff Friday is 7:30 p.m.

SHR likes Harvicks chances

over next two races
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Tony Stewart

has never been fond of predictions and
when asked, he almost always gives the
same response: If I knew the answer
to that, Id probably be a bookie in Las
Vegas.
Yet when it comes to teammate Kevin
Harvicks chances of advancing out of
the next round of NASCARs playoffs,
the co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing
suddenly sounded like an odds-maker.
Theres nobody Id put money on in
a 2-race deal more than him, Stewart
said of Harvick.
Harvick, who has consistently had
one of the fastest cars all season, has
been backed into a corner in the third
round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup
Championship. Matt Kenseth spun him
on a restart Sunday at Martinsville
Speedway, where Harvick finished 33rd.
It dropped him to last in the 8-driver
Chase field, with two races to either
climb to fourth in the standings or to
earn the automatic berth that comes with
a victory.
Only four drivers will race for the
championship in the Nov. 16 finale
at Homestead, where Harvick spent
Tuesday and Wednesday testing with
SHR.
There was palpable disappointment throughout the SHR organization at Martinsville, where Harvick had
climbed from 33rd to inside the top-10
before Kenseth spun him, but no one
was ready to count him out.
Although hes never won a Cup race
at Texas, site of Sundays event, he has
been strong on 1.5-milers this year and
won at Charlotte earlier this month. The
Texas race will also mark Harvicks
500th career start.
Then he moves to Phoenix, the site
of the final race of this round and where
Harvick is a 5-time winner. His winning
streak includes three of the last four races.
I think we feel good going to Texas
and Phoenix is one of his favorite
tracks, said Stewart.
SHR competition director Greg
Zipadelli noted that Harvick can climb
out of a hole.
He seems to do well when his back
is against the wall and I think he wants
it, Zipadelli added. Nobody is going to
give you it. Racing for years, you gotta
go earn it, you gotta race it and some
days things stack against you and youve
got to go see what youre made of. Well
go to the next couple of races and see
what weve got.

in our equipment, so weve just got to

Brides best friend hesitates

to stand up at her wedding
DEAR ABBY: My best
friend is getting married. She
left me a message asking me
to be a bridesmaid. Of course
Im honored, but I dont
know what to do. I dislike her
fiance. He is disrespectful and
mean to her and to their son.
I cant stand up with them
and pretend to be happy
for her when I think shes
making a terrible mistake. I
want her to marry someone
who will be nice to her.
Help! -- CONFLICTED IN
MINNESOTA
DEAR CONFLICTED:
If standing up with her
will make you feel like a
hypocrite, then dont do it. But
recognize that if you dont, it
will distance you from her. If
your friends relationship is
dysfunctional now, just wait
until after she and her fiance
are married, because it isnt
going to magically get better.
This young woman is going
to need all the support she
can get from her friends in the
years ahead.
DEAR ABBY: Every year,
my children choose to attend
Thanksgiving with their inlaws or friends rather than
come to our home. Then they
ask me to prepare a celebration
the day after or another day.
My husband and I feel

left out. Its plain that we
are considered second and
the kids come only because
they feel guilty. Preparing a
meal is expensive and timeconsuming. We would like
to celebrate on the actual
holiday.
I think we should be treated
with more respect. I also feel
like telling these ingrates to
stay home this year because
we have decided to donate
our time to a homeless shelter.
Your thoughts? -- LEFT OUT
IN LEXINGTON
DEAR LEFT OUT: I can
see why your feelings are
hurt. In fairness, I think your
children should alternate with
which in-laws they spend the
holidays.
If you would prefer to make
or serve Thanksgiving dinner
at a shelter, you should do it.
Many people volunteer their
time during the holidays,
and at other times during the
year, and find it gratifying.
However, when you inform
your children about your
plans, try to keep the anger out
of the tone of your message.
DEAR ABBY: Im 11 and
my dad is a drug addict. Im
not allowed to have contact
with him because of his past
choices. People would look

down on me if they knew -like my own teacher. She was
being snoopy at the beginning
of the year and asked me a
bunch of questions about my
family, and now I feel like she
doesnt treat me the same. -DISTURBED IN SPOKANE
DEAR
DISTURBED:
Your fathers past choices
are not your fault, and you
should not be blamed or
judged for them. If you havent
already told your mother
that your teacher questioned
you about your family at the
beginning of the year, that you
answered her honestly and
now you feel you are being
treated differently because of
it, you definitely should. And
your mother should discuss
this with the teacher because
the questions she was asking
may have been appropriate.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also
known as Jeanne Phillips, and
was founded by her mother,
Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear
Abby at www.DearAbby.

because of its tie to

federal insurance.
My husband is
beginning to suffer
from
dementia,
and I feel the need
to move closer to
medical
facilities
and a home that
is less physically
demanding in its
upkeep. We have
no equity in our
home because in the
past two years, the
interest on our reverse
mortgage has added
more than $20,000
to its cost. We owe
$327,000 on it if we
sell.
If we sell and
receive the $100,000
for the adjacent lot to
buy another modest
home in town, we
will still have to take

probably
$50,000
from our IRA. At that
point, we will have a
home free and clear
with lower expenses.
How do we do this
without
incurring
such horrendous tax
bills on the lot sale
(for which we will
have to pay capital
gains)
and
IRA
withdrawals that we
will have no money
left as a reserve? -N.B.
DEAR N.B.: Put
your primary home
up for sale. When it
is sold, the proceeds
from the reverse
mortgage will pay
off all you owe and
perhaps provide a
little cash as well.
You
mentioned
you dont have any
equity in your home.
Thats unfortunate;
lake properties arent
the hot ticket they
once were. You could
ask for relief from the
lot size requirements
from the board of
adjustment.
Then
perhaps you could
sell the adjacent lot
for $100,000.
As far as capital
gains, I dont know
if there are gains that
can be avoided. That
is a question for a tax
specialist. I am certain
you can find one who
knows all the ins and
outs. He or she may
be able to offset at
least a portion of the
capital gains.

Horoscope
By Eugenia Last
Blondie
Sharing
your
life
experiences will help others
avoid mistakes. Your sensitivity
will comfort those in need,
resulting in a boost to your
popularity. Recognition and
advancement are heading your
way and will enable you to
try for goals you once thought
unattainable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Dont judge others.
You will receive valuable
information from an unlikely
source. A person who is often
disagreeable will have the
knowledge and answers you are
looking for.
For Better or Worse
Beetle Bailey
Pickles
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Dont offer to help a

stranger with a good sob story.
Allowing someone to take
advantage of you will lead to
regret and loss. Look out for
your interests.
CAPRICORN
(Dec.
22-Jan. 19) -- Your steady
approach will be difficult to
maintain. If you make a snap
decision or change of plans,
let your family know to avoid
putting any of them in an
awkward position.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Be cautious when
sharing
personal
secrets.
Private information has a way
of becoming public knowledge
if you confide in the wrong
person. Be smart and avoid
embarrassment.

AP IMPACT: If Ebola batters US, we are not ready

GARANCE BURKE
Associated Press
The U.S. health care apparatus is

so unprepared and short on resources to deal with the deadly Ebola
virus that even small clusters of
cases could overwhelm parts of the
system, according to an Associated
Press review of readiness at hospitals and other components of the
emergency medical network.
Experts broadly agree that a
widespread outbreak across the
country is extremely unlikely, but
they also concur that it is impossible
to predict with certainty, since previous Ebola epidemics have been
confined to remote areas of Africa.
Giants
And Ebola is not the only possible

danger that causes concern; experts
say other deadly infectious diseases
ranging from airborne viruses
such as SARS, to an unforeseen
new strain of the flu, to more exotic
plagues like Lassa fever could
crash the health care system.
To assess Americas ability to
deal with a major outbreak, the
AP examined multiple indicators
of readiness: training, manpower,
funding, emergency room shortcomings, supplies, infection control
and protection for health care workers. AP reporters also interviewed
dozens of top experts in those fields.
The results were worrisome.
Supplies, training and funds are
The crowd noise at Kauffman Stadium was constant and

loud. The fans cheered when Billy Butler singled and hustled
home on a double by Gordon, and booed when Perez was hit
in the leg and knocked to the dirt that all happened in a span
of three pitches.
Small ball was the story early, with three sacrifice flies in
the second inning alone. Morse drove in Sandoval with the
bases loaded and no outs, and Crawford drove in Hunter Pence
with another fly to make it 2-0.
The Royals rallied back fast. After Infantes sacrifice fly
tied it at 2, Alcides Escobar singled with two outs and that was
all for Hudson.
At 39, Hudson was the oldest pitcher to start Game 7 in
the Series. He had signed with the Giants in the offseason
as a free agent, hoping to reach the World Series for the first
time, and maybe win a championship. This was his chance
and instead, he had the shortest start in Game 7 of a Series
since Bob Turley of the Yankees lasted only one inning against
Pittsburgh in 1960.
Before the game, something happened that caught the
attention of both teams.
As the Royals were taking batting practice and the Giants
were stretching beyond their dugout, a person wearing white
formal gloves, and accompanied by a security guard, carried
the gleaming, gold-and-silver World Series trophy across the
grass behind the cage.
History
In 1945, the U.S. government

announced the end of shoe rationing,
effective at midnight.
In 1953, Gen. George C. Marshall
was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Dr.
Albert Schweitzer received the Peace
Prize for 1952.
In 1961, the Soviet Union tested a
hydrogen bomb, the Tsar Bomba, with
a force estimated at about 50 megatons.
The Soviet Party Congress unanimously approved a resolution ordering the
removal of Josef Stalins body from
Lenins tomb.
In 1972, 45 people were killed when
an Illinois Central Gulf commuter train
was struck from behind by another train
in Chicagos South Side.
In 1984, police in Poland found the
body of kidnapped pro-Solidarity priest
Father Jerzy Popieluszko, whose death
was blamed on security officers.
In 1989, Mitsubishi Estate Co.
announced it was buying 51 percent of
Rockefeller Group Inc. of New York.
(However, amid a real estate slump,
Mitsubishi ended up walking away from
its investment in 1995.)
In 1997, a jury in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, convicted British au pair
Louise Woodward of second-degree
murder in the death of eight-month-old
EMS
Our main goal is to lower injuries caused on the job and

give a better patient experience, Streets said. The cots will
hold 750 pounds compared to our old ones, which would only
hold 550 pounds. They are also powered so they do the work
for you and they will make it easier on the rescue personnel
transporting their patients and reduce the likelihood of them
being injured while doing so.
According to the BWCs website, the purpose of the Safety
Grant Program is to gather information about the effectiveness
of safety interventions so they can share the results with Ohio
employers. The program is available to any Ohio state-fund or
public employer who wishes to purchase equipment to substantially reduce or eliminate injuries and illnesses associated
with a particular task or operation. The program is designed
to work and partner with Ohio employers to establish safety
intervention best practices for accident and injury prevention.

In 2011, Allen County Children
Services conducted 765 investigations
involving sexual and physical abuse,
neglect and emotional maltreatment.
Reporting sources include family, school
personnel, social services, medical personnel, friends, neighbors, law enforcement, victims, attorneys and courts.
The time involved with an assessment/investigation is driven by the needs
of the family. In the event that the family
is in need of continued agency involvement post the investigatory phase, the
family is transferred for ongoing services.
In ongoing, a family works with
a caseworker to identify strengths and
needs and what resources/services could
assist in addressing those needs with
the ultimate goal of ensuring safety and
reducing risk, Scanland detailed.
Allen County Children Services is
mandated by Ohio to investigate reports
of child abuse and neglect. Casework
staff is available 24 hours a day, seven
workers to use it. Not every facility

is going to be able to obtain the same
level of readiness, he said.
AP reporters frequently heard
assessments that generally, the
smaller the facility, the less prepared, less funded, less staffed and
less trained it is to fight Ebola and
other deadly infectious diseases.
The place I worry is: Are
most small hospitals adequately
prepared? said Dr. Ashish Jha, a
Harvard University specialist in
health care quality and safety. It
clearly depends on the hospital.
He said better staff training is the
most important element of preparation for any U.S. Ebola outbreak.
He believes a small group of per-
The prize was probably headed to a safe spot, waiting to

be presented to the winner. Players on both sides watched the
procession and some pointed, but no one dared jinx themselves by touching it.
Royals great George Brett, now a team executive, wandered over to a cluster of Giants and greeted some of them.
Pence smiled and seemed to enjoy the moment.
Among those watching from near the backstop was Jack
Morris. Hard to think about a Game 7 and not remember him.
Morris gave one of the greatest pitching performances of
all-time, throwing a 10-hit shutout in 1991 to lead Minnesota
over Atlanta 1-0 at the Metrodome.
Game 7s dont come around very often. Were all hoping
for them, said Morris, now a broadcaster.
When his time came, Morris was prepared.
I knew what it meant, and I was ready to pitch, he said.
I wasnt nervous. I was confident.
Thats how it should be. Every fielder should want the
ball. Every hitter should want to be at the plate, he said.
Bret Saberhagen, who pitched a Game 7 shutout in 1985 to give
Kansas City its only crown, threw out the first ball. Soon after, the
game began after another stumble with the national anthem.
Opera star and longtime Royals fan Joyce DiDonato did
fine singing The Star-Spangled Banner, but tripped and fell
in the batters box while walking off the field.
Before Game 5 in San Francisco, county singer Aaron
Lewis messed up the lyrics to the anthem and later apologized
for the mistake.
Matthew Eappen. (The judge, Hiller B.

Zobel, later reduced the verdict to manslaughter and set Woodward free.)
Ten years ago: The decapitated body
of a 24-year-old Japanese backpacker
(Shosei Koda) was found wrapped in an
American flag in northwestern Baghdad;
the militant group led by Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi later claimed responsibility.
Grateful fans embraced the World Series
champion Boston Red Sox, hailing the
team as heroes during a jubilant parade.
Actress-dancer Peggy Ryan died in Las
Vegas at age 80.
Five years ago: Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton was confronted
repeatedly by Pakistanis as she ended
a tense three-day tour of the country,
chastised by one woman who said a
U.S. program using aerial drones to target terrorists amounted to executions
without trial. Michelle Triola Marvin,
whod fought a landmark palimony
case in the 1970s against former lover
Lee Marvin, died in Malibu, California,
at age 76.

all limited. And there are concerns

about whether health care workers
would refuse to treat Ebola victims.
Following the death of a patient
with Ebola in a Texas hospital and
the subsequent infection of two of
his nurses, medical officials and politicians are scurrying to fix preparedness shortcomings. But remedies
cannot be implemented overnight.
And fixes will be very expensive.
Dr. Jeffrey S. Duchin, chairman
of the Public Health Committee of
the Infectious Diseases Society of
America and a professor of medicine
at the University of Washington, said
it will take time to ramp up readiness, including ordering the right
protective equipment and training
the failures but also defending the historic health care overhaul. The government said the deficit for the 2013 budget
year totaled $680.3 billion, down from
$1.09 trillion in 2012. The Boston Red
Sox romped to their third World Series
championship in 10 seasons, thumping
the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6
at Fenway.

In return, employers will submit to BWC quarterly data

reports and a case study one year after the date of the intervention.
This information will be used to determine the effectiveness of
the intervention and share successes with other employers.
To be eligible for a safety intervention grant, applicants
must:
Be a state-fund or public employer;
Maintain active coverage - not more than 40 days lapsed
in the prior 12 months;
Be current on all monies owed BWC;
Demonstrate the need for safety intervention;
Provide two-year baseline data; and
Have active BWC coverage with past payroll reports
(four if a private employer, two if a public employer) for the
purpose of defining employer eligibility cycle.
Employers who participate in a group-rating program or are
involved in other BWC-sponsored programs may apply for a
safety grant.
days a week through emergency on-call

services and local law enforcement.
Scanland said emergency on-call services are managed after hours on a
rotation with one caseworker and one
supervisor on call at all times. The caseworker receives the information through
an on-call service and the sheriffs office
and works with the supervisor on-call to
make a determination about the level of
agency response needed.
Safety and risk decisions are made
which drive the agencys response,
Scanland stated. Whatever is needed
is what happens; a response could be
initiated at night if there is an imminent
need.
Scanland said Allen County Children
Services has approximately 70 employees that are divided into units of intake
and assessment, ongoing, family stability, adoption/foster care, family support
and fiscal.
Each have a specific role and function all working to fulfill the agencies
mission of ensuring child safety and
strengthening families, she said.
The agency works collaboratively

with service providers within the community in order to ensure identified
needs of a child or family member is
met. They range from mental health
counseling to budgeting.
Levy facts:
This levy was originally passed
in 1985 and successfully renewed in
1990, 1995, 1999, 2005 and replaced
in 2010.
This levy is currently scheduled
to expire on December 31, 2015. Its
renewal will begin collection in 2016.
In 2013, the combined levy revenue
is 44% of the Agencys funding. State
and federal funding has continued to
decline over the past five years.
We are required to have a local funding match to receive federal and state
reimbursement. ACCS has not received
any County General Fund (CGF) support since the mid-1990s. At this time,
CGF is unable to provide a local match
in place of the levy.

to about 60 in a matter of seconds. I went from drenched with
sweat to goose bumps in a matter of seconds. Ice-cold air permeated that roomand then it was gone.
And for Klir, this shadow on the stairs and vintage-dressed

Jennings who Klir described as spearheading the effort to
build Memorial Hall in 1914. The connection Raabe had with
the building, Klir asserts, could well be the connection that
allows him to stay.
This building was his vision, it was his dream for the community, Klir said. One hundred years later, it stands. I have in

maybe this is his own personal heaven.
