COLUMBUS Ohio
Democrats followed through
Wednesday on threats to sue
over a last-minute legislative
maneuver by Republicans
that effectively shields Ohios
new congressional map from
a ballot challenge.
In a lawsuit filed with the
Ohio Supreme Court, the
Ohio Democratic Party asked
justices to weigh in on wheth-
er lawmakers acted legally
when they added money for
county election boards to the
redistricting bill as it neared
approval last week.
Laws that call for state
spending are immune from
repeal under Ohios constitu-
tion. However, the high court
ruled in a high-profile 2009
case that a group challenging
then-Democratic Gov. Ted
Stricklands plan to legalize
racetrack slots had a right
to challenge the plan even
though it was part of a state
budget bill.
LetOhioVote.org, the
campaign against the slots,
eventually abandoned its
challenge, but Democrats are
pointing to the legal prece-
dent set in the case in making
their arguments to the court.
Their formal goal is gaining
an opportunity to put a repeal
question before voters in
2012, but making a success-
ful case could also prompt a
federal judge to intervene and
order the mapmakers back to
the drawing board.
The money added to the
bill also means it takes effect
immediately, instead of after
the usual 90 days. The dead-
line for congressional can-
didates to file is Dec. 7, so
a map must be in place by

School voucher bill stirs uproar
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS In 2002,
the United States Supreme
Court ruled in favor of an
Ohio school voucher pro-
gram. At the time, Chief
Justice William Renquist
deemed the Cleveland pro-
gram as constitutional, say-
ing it was neutral toward
religion because the parents
who received vouchers had
a range of choices. Vouchers
add parochial schools to the
options of open-enrollment,
charter schools, online educa-
tion, home-schooling and the
default option of attending the
local school district a family
lives in.
Since the Supreme Courts
ruling, voucher programs
have been sought in several
states from Minnesota and
Virginia to Utah and Texas.
Earlier this year, Republicans
in Indiana proposed a voucher
bill that would have permitted
a family of four with income
up to $100,000 to qualify but
the benchmark was closer to
$60,000 by the time it went
to the governors desk. Mitch
Daniels signed it into law in
May.
East of the state line, Fourth
District Representative Matt
Huffman (R-Lima) wants to
broaden Ohios school vouch-
er program so a family of
four earning up to $61,189 is
income-eligible for a voucher
valued up to $4,626. The bill
also proposes to set vouch-
ers at $3,470 for families of
four with income between the
aforementioned amount and
$81,585. Those with income
from there to $95,000 would
be eligible for vouchers worth
$2,313.
House Bill 136 has 36
co-sponsors, including 75th
District Representative Lynn
Wachtmann (R-Napoleon),
who said he thinks any pri-
vate school that benefits
from vouchers should be
part of the Ohio Department
of Educations annual Ohio
Report Cards. He also indi-
cated free-market competition
is the answer for failing pub-
lic schools, not more money.
He questions superintendents
who voice concern that private
schools could receive taxpay-
er dollars but not be subject to
the same rigors they must deal
with from Columbus.
Those in public education
who whine about accountabil-
ity really arent sincere about it,
in my opinion. If they were seri-
ous about accountability, they
would speak out about these
horrible public schools, par-
ticularly in big cities but frank-
ly, including, to some degree,
Lima. Theyre horrible, he
said. The drop-out rates are
high and in my 25 years of
public office, I dont think Ive
ever heard a public school per-
son speak out about shutting
down bad public schools. Its
always more money. They
want more money. The vouch-
er bill is about giving families
more alternatives. We need to
let the marketplace shut them
down by giving people choices
in where they educate their
kids.
Im all for accountability
of the whole system but, by
in large, what weve seen in
Ohio, is our big city school
districts do a horrible job. In
fact, there may be account-
ability with money but there
isnt accountability with the
end result. So, I think we
should hold everybody to the
same standards and public
schools just like some of
the private schools are going
out of business we need to
let public schools that are fail-
ing go out of business, too.
Delphos City Schools
Interim Superintendent Frank
Sukup says school choice is
a code word for privatization.
This bill would move us
away from public education
toward the privatization of
education. If you look at the
makeup of the state legislature,
this attack on public schools is
right there. Lynn Wachtmann
hates public schools. He had a
bad experience and absolutely
hates them. He doesnt do a
thing to help us. He goes to
every new school dedication
and touts all the money the
state gave but if he had to
vote to give it to them, you
could bet your sweet bippy
it would never happen, he
said. The people in control
want to get rid of public edu-
cation, in my opinion. Theyre

Seniors take in local history
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
The Delphos Rotary Club
held its annual walking
tour for high school seniors
Wednesday. Students from
Jefferson and St. Johns high
schools began the day with
breakfast at the home of the
Wildcats, got a preview of
the day and visited one of the
canal locks before spending
most of the day in historic
downtown Delphos.
Students broke up into
groups of 12-15 and volun-
teers took them to several
buildings, teaching students
the history of each. A theme
is chosen each year and this
years was the Civil War.
We chose the Civil War
because it was in the middle
of the canals development.
It was an important event and
we want the kids to under-
stand what was going on in
the country at the time the
canal was being built, said
organizer JoAn Smith.
Students toured the police
station, Canal Commission
Museum, First Presbyterian
Church and other historical
spots. Each year, a particular
location is chosen as the focal
point.
We toured the old apart-
ment above the hardware
store; it has 1930s woodwork
and an atrium and we havent
been up there in a few years.
We had Civil War presenta-
tions throughout the day at
the school in the morning
and at the canal museum. We
highlighted how Delphos tied
into the Civil War Avery
Brown was the youngest to
enlist in the Union army,
Smith said. He was just 8
years old and was a drummer
boy. A contingent from Ohio
or Delphos went to Cincinnati
and said they wouldnt volun-
teer unless Avery Brown was
allowed to stay with them. He
was in the army for a little
more than a year before he
got the measles and had to
come home.
The local child played his
drum at the Delphos recruit-
ing station and accompanied
recruits to Camp Chase near
Columbus. He did this twice
and on the third trip, 101 men
were enlisting. Brown had
no father but was close to
Samuel Mott, who refused to
allow his men to be processed
unless the army include the
lad. On August 18, 1861,
Brown joined Company C
of the 31st Ohio Volunteer
Infantry.
Dubbed the Drummer
Boy of the Cumberland,
Brown boosted the morale of
soldiers by playing a captured
Confederate drum until his
illness brought on his dis-
charge in 1863. Born in 1852,
Brown lived his adult life
organizing bands around the
country but settled in Elkhart,
Ind. with his wife, Cynthia.
Though the couple lived in
other places, they returned to
Northeast Indiana around the
turn of the century. Brown
died in 1904.

Supper On Us starts third year
Benjamin Jones of Rogers Rangers prepares dress-
ing for a Community Unity Supper on Us. Today
marks the beginning of the third year for the initiative
that has served more than 3,000 meals with the help
of Delphos businesses, civic organizations, churches,
municipal leaders and citizens. Coordinators Jim
Wilcox and Suzanne Taylor assist groups each week
that can sponsor a meal, supply labor or take on the
responsibilities of the whole meal, including providing
food, beverages, paper products, labor and clean up.
The thrust of the project is to provide a weekly meal to
stretch residents food budgets. You wouldnt believe
how many appreciate something as simple as a bowl of
soup and a sandwich, Taylor said. They also enjoy
the camaraderie of dining with others. Meals are
served from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursdays at Trinity
United Methodist Church. Call Taylor at 419-339-
1951 to volunteer for a meal.

The following individuals
appeared Wednesday before
Judge Charles Steele in Van
Wert County Common Pleas
Court:
James D. Ramirez, 21, Van
Wert, was placed on commu-
nity control for three years on a
charge of burglary, a felony of
the fourth degree.
According to a Van Wert
City Police Department inves-
tigation, Ramirez had forced
his way into an apartment on
July 26, at which time he took
a video game. Apparently
Ramirez had been to the apart-
ment with another friend the
night before but returned alone
later to burglarize the apartment
and took the game.
Judge Steele, in addition to
the three years of community
control, placed Ramirez on 90
days of electronic monitored
house arrest, ordered that he
spend 30 days in the Van Wert
County Jail at a time determined
by his supervision officer, com-
plete a psychological and sub-
stance abuse assessment along
with completing any rehabilita-
tion program ordered, and make
restitution to the victim in the
amount of $100. Ramirez was
ordered to pay $250 as par-
tial reimbursement for his court
appointed attorney, $25 for the
affidavit of indigency fee, and
court costs.
Ramirez was also given a
basic prison term of 12 months
with the imposition of the sen-
tence deferred pending the suc-
cessful completion of the com-
munity control program.
Bradley D. Smith, 34,
Edgerton, was sentenced to
one year of community control
on attempted receiving stolen
property, a misdemeanor of the
first degree.
Smith was ordered tospend
60 days on electronic monitored
house arrest, make restitution of
$275 to the victim, pay $250 as
partial reimbursement for his
court appointed counsel, $25
affidavit of indigency fee and
court costs.
Smith was also given a 180-
day jail sentence and a $1000
fine with the imposition of the
jail sentence and fine deferred
pending his successful comple-
tion of the community control
program.
Skyler D. Leugers, 20,
Celina, was placed on three
years of community control on
a charge of grand theft, a felony
of the fourth degree.
According to a Van Wert
City Police Department inves-
tigation, Leugers allegedly pur-
chased a vehicle in April from a
local resident with a check after
learning of the vehicle being
offered for sale on an internet
site. Leugers told the victim that
the check for $2,800 was from
his parents and he was autho-
rize to use the check for the pur-
chase of the vehicle. Later, the
victim learned that the check
was taken from his parents and
Leugers was not authorized to
use the check. The vehicle was
recovered but the vehicle was
damaged beyond repair.
Judge Steele ordered that
Leugers spend 60 days on elec-
tronic monitored house arrest,
spend an additional 30 days in
jail at a time to be determined
by his supervision officer and
make restitution to the victim
in the amount of $2,800 which
must be paid to the victim by
April 1, 2012.
Leugers was ordered to pay
$250 for partial reimbursement
of his court appointed attorney,
$25 for affidavit of indigency
fee and court costs.
Judge Steele also gave
Leugers a nine-month prison
sentence but deferred the impo-
sition of the sentence pending
the successful completion of the
community control program.
Kareem Howard, 37, Van
Wert, was found in violation
of his community control pro-
gram by not reporting, failing to
notify his supervision officer of
a change of address and failed
to undergo a substance abuse
assessment and attend programs
as recommended.
Howard was sentenced to
three years of community con-
trol in July 2010 on a charge
of domestic violence at which
time he was given an 18-months
prison sentence.
Judge Steele found that
Howard was not amenable to
community control and ordered
him to spend the 18-month
prison sentence and gave him
credit for 41 days he had spent
in jail awaiting final disposition
of his case.
Joel L. Crawford, 23, Van
Wert, was found in violation of
his community control program
by voluntarily checking out of
the WORTH Center program.
Judge Steele ordered that
Crawford spend a prison sen-
tence of one year on one case
and six months for each of four
counts on another case. The
four counts were to run concur-
rently but consecutively to the
one-year prison sentence.
Crawford was given credit
toward the prison sentence for
277 days which he had served
while awaiting final disposition
of his case.
Gabriel G. Spradlin, 26,
Rockford, entered a guilty
plea to a charge of eluding and
fleeing, a felony of the third
degree.
According to records,
Spradlin attempted to flee and
elude from police officers after
an attempt to stop him was
initiated. Spradlin reached high
speeds on Race Street, lost con-
trol of his vehicle and crashed
into a home. The incident took
place in July of 2011.
Spradlin suffered severe
injuries from the crash and had
to be extracted from the vehicle
after the crash.
Judge Steele ordered a pre-
sentence investigation and
scheduled sentencing on Nov.
9.
Kevin L. Clay, 26, Van
Wert, entered a guilty plea to a
charge of possession of drugs, a
felony of the fifth degree.
According to a statement
made in court by the Prosecuting
Attorneys Office, Clay did use
or possess heroin on Jan. 8.
Judge Steele ordered a
presentence investigation and
scheduled sentencing for Dec.
14.

doing all they can to make it
happen with vouchers, charter
schools, etc. They sell it under
the guise of school choice
but its privatization.
Sukup taught drivers
education for many years in
Fort Jennings. He remem-
bers what happened when the
state allowed for-profit orga-
nizations to get involved and
doesnt want to see it happen
again on a larger scale.
If education is privatized,
watch and see what hap-
pens with tuition rates and
how much it costs parents; I
think the price will skyrocket.
Drivers education is a good
example. Way back when I
taught drivers ed, there was
a time when you could only
charge $50 regardless of your
expense. All-of-a-sudden,
they got rid of the state being
involved and you could
charge whatever you wanted.
There are all kinds of private
companies out there who are
in business to make money
and now, in big cities, drivers
education costs around $400
or $500, he said.
A message was left with
Huffman to address account-
ability but the call was not
returned by press time.
The bill recently moved
out of committee and will be
debated by the full House.
How many vouchers will be
made available remains to be
seen. If vouchers are limited
to or priority is given to fami-
lies in failing public school
districts, the program may
have little or no impact in the
Delphos area because none of
its schools are failing.
If vouchers ever become
a reality, the program would
pay the entire tuition for one
student at St. Johns Schools,
where the tuition is $2,940 but
not at Lima Central Catholic,
where tuition is $5,475.
St. Johns Elementary
Principal Nate Stant said his
school system would contin-
ue to abide by its admissions
standards and already partici-
pates in the Ohio Graduation
Test, continuing education for
teachers, is subject to accredi-
tation criteria and more.
Stant said the voucher pro-
gram would include families
already enrolled in non-pub-
lic schools. He supports those
families seeing some of their
tax dollars returned to them
for education.
Our parents pay tax dol-
lars and their tax money
can follow their child. They
would have a say in where
their tax dollar goes, as stu-
dents already in non-public
schools are phased in over
a four-year period, he said
Those dollars, which go to
the state, would be dispersed
in an income-based man-
ner.

then.
Ohio Republicans are hold-
ing that their map complies
with all constitutional guide-
lines and believe Ohios high
court will uphold the new
boundaries.
The lawsuit is baseless,
Ohio House GOP spokesman
Mike Dittoe said. We cer-
tainly believe that the appro-
priation that was attached by
the Ohio Senate was done
properly and is appropriate
for the subject at hand.
Dittoe added that the map
received bipartisan support in
both chambers.
The map, which Republican
Gov. John Kasich signed into
law Monday, has been widely
derided by Democrats and
voter groups who say the GOP
gerrymandered the lines to
protect their control of Ohios
congressional delegation.
Ohio lost two U.S. House
seats reducing its num-
ber of representatives from
18 to 16 because of slow
population growth compared
to the rest of the country.
Voter advocacy groups, such
as the Ohio League of Women
Voters, say the new map
makes 12 of those seats safe
for Republicans.
The map squeezes six sit-
ting members of Congress
into three districts, setting up
potential primary face-offs
between Republicans Mike
Turner and Steve Austria in
southern Ohio and Democrats
Dennis Kucinich and Marcy
Kaptur for a district along Lake
Erie. It also places Democratic
U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton into
the district of Republican Jim
Renacci.
A new Democratic-leaning
district was added that con-

Dear EarthTalk: I know
that polar bears are los-
ing ice cover due to climate
change, but what are other
ways that global warming
affects wildlife around the
globe?
Hanna Bond,
Hartford, CT
Although perhaps the best
known examples, polar bears
certainly arent the only wild-
life species already suffering
as a result of global warming.
With the sea ice that they
depend upon as hunting plat-
forms and places to rest dur-
ing long swims quickly melt-
ing, polar bears were added to
the federal list of threatened
species in 2008. This con-
tentious listing decision was
significant in that it repre-
sented the first time the feder-
al government acknowledged
that global warming was
not only having a noticeable
effect on the environment but
could also be blamed for the
decline of particular species.
Environmentalists claimed
the listing was reason enough
to reign in our carbon emis-
sions sharply, but of course
that has yet to happen.
While all organisms
on the planet are affected
in one way or another by
climate change, some are
more at risk than others.
Species with small popula-
tion sizes, restricted ranges,
and limited ability to move
to different habitat will be
most at risk, reports the
National Audubon Society.
Similarly, different habi-
tats and ecosystems will
be impacted differently,
with those in coastal, high-
latitude, and high-altitude
regions most vulnerable.
Audubon, which is pri-
marily concerned with birds,
recently published a report
based on 40 years of data
that found some 60 percent
of the 305 avian species in
North America during win-
ter have been on the move
in recent decadesshifting
their ranges northward by an
average of 35 miles, as habi-
tat shifts thanks to warming
temperatures. The Brant (a
coastal bird), the Ring-necked
Duck (a water bird), and the
American Goldfinch (a land
bird), all moved about 200
miles north over the last four
decades. While its question-
able whether some birds will
find suitable habitat to the
northwe may have paved
that piece of land overthe
picture looks even more grim
for those species not willing
or able to abandon old roosts.
Also, Audubon reports that
the timing of reproductive
events (egg-laying, flower-
ing, spawning) across differ-
ent interdependent species is
occurring earlier than ever
in some cases interrupting
delicate cycles that ensure
that insects and other food
are available for young ani-
mals.
Another leading conser-
vation group, Defenders of
Wildlife, details how a long
list of other North American
fauna is in decline as a result
of global warming. The gray
wolf, trout, salmon, arctic
fox, desert bighorn sheep,
desert tortoise, Ediths
checkerspot butterfly, golden
toad, Hawaiian monk seal,
lobster, manatee, painted
turtle, penguin, streamside
salamander and western toad
are just a few of the spe-
cies on Defenders list that
are negatively impacted by
our profligate fossil fuel use.
Meanwhile, the Wildlife
Conservation Society adds
the Irrawaddy dolphin of
Southeast Asia, the Arctics
musk ox, the ocean-going
hawksbill turtle and others
to the list of species that are
feeling the heat from global
warming.
While it may seem futile
given the scope of the prob-
lem, everyone can still take
steps to be part of the solu-
tion. Switch out your incan-
descent bulbs for compact
fluorescents or, even better,
the new generation of LED
bulbs. Bike, walk and take
mass transit more; drive your
car less. Telecommute when
you can. Try to source as
much of your food and other
goods locally to cut down on
carbon-heavy transcontinen-
tal freight shipping. If not
for yourself, do it for the
polar bears, turtles, foxes and
toads.

Dear EarthTalk: Freight
companies like FedEx, UPS
and all those 18 wheelers
on the highways probably
generate a lot of pollution
and global warming. Is any-
thing being done to address
this?
Michael Brown,
Washington, DC

Freight companies operat-
ing in the U.S. and beyond do
generate significant amounts
of pollution. While transpor-
tation technologies and fuels
have gotten more efficient in
recent years, freight demands
have grown considerably
over the past two decades.
Today, in the U.S. alone, for
example, freight is respon-
sible for about a quarter of all
transportation-related green-
house gas emissions.
Most freight trucks, loco-
motives and ships run on
diesel engines, which are
major sources of emissions
of nitrogen oxides, particu-
late matter and carbon diox-
ide (CO2). Repeated expo-
sure to nitrogen oxide-based
smog and particulate matter
has been linked to a wide
range of human health prob-
lems, and we all know what
CO2 emissions are doing to
the planets atmosphere and
ecosystems in terms of glob-
al warming.
According to a 2005 anal-
ysis by the U.S. Department
of Transportations Federal
Highway Administration
(FHA), heavy duty trucks are
the biggest villains, account-
ing for 77.8 percent of total
U.S. freight greenhouse gas
emissions. Boat, train and air-
plane freight contribute10.8,
8.7 and 2.8 percent respec-
tively.
Besides filling up loads
completely and keeping
equipment well tuned, ship-
pers can reduce emissions via
smarter operations and proce-
dures. Software developed by
UPSs Roadnet helps logis-
tics managers re-engineer
their fleet routing, preventing
tons of emissions and saving
millions of dollars and in the
process.
Newer Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
emissions standards aim to
reduce nitrogen oxide and par-
ticulate matter pollution from
freight operators upwards of
60 percent by 2020. They are
a step in the right direction,
but the failure of Congress to
pass substantive federal leg-
islation limiting CO2 emis-
sions means that a growing
freight sector will continue
to pump out more and more
greenhouse gases.
A recently released
report by the tri-later-
al North American Free
Trade Agreements
(NAFTAs) Commission for
Environmental Cooperation
(CEC) lays out a vision for
how to make freightthe sec-
ond largest source of green-
house gas emissions in North
America after electricity gen-
erationmore efficient and
less polluting across Mexico,
the U.S. and Canada.
The report identifies some
scary trends. For example,
emissions from freight-
related vehicles grew 74
percent between 1990 and
2008some 40 percent
more than emissions growth
from passenger vehicles over
the same time span. Also,
while emissions by light duty
vehicles are expected to drop
12 percent by 2030, freight
truck emissions are expected
to grow by 20 percent. To
start turning the freight sec-
tor around, CEC recommends
that the three countries party
to NAFTA start shifting to
lower carbon fuels, putting
a price on carbon emissions
and replacing crumbling
infrastructure. These fixes
wont be cheap, but CEC
claims they will save money
in the long run and clean up
of North American freight
altogether.

Ohio lt. gov.,
insurance director
Since it was signed into
law in March 2010, the Patient
Protection and Affordable
Care Act, also known as
Obamacare, has been the sub-
ject of intense debate. Both
sides on this issue argue over
its impact and what it truly
means for consumers and
health care in general. Now,
thanks to an in-depth analysis
of the laws many provisions
affecting Ohio, there is no
doubt Obamacare will have
a significant negative impact
to our state and other states
as well.
Earlier this year, as
the Director of the Ohio
Department of Insurance, I
hired an independent consul-
tant, Milliman, Inc., to review
the requirements and man-
dates of Obamacare to deter-
mine its impact for Ohioans.
They spent several months
researching Ohios insurance
market and laws to assess
what our state will look like
in 2014 and beyond.
The bottom line health
insurance premiums for indi-
viduals in Ohio will increase
anywhere from 55 to 85 per-
cent on average (not including
current medical trends that
are averaging 7 to 8 percent
nationwide). Moreover, some
Ohioans depending on their
current health status may
see their premiums increase
by as much as 90 to 130 per-
cent. These historic spikes in
cost will hurt consumers at a
time when health insurance is
already going up.
In addition to significant-
ly increasing premiums for
individuals, the small group
market will see extraordinary
shifts and fluctuations. Even
though overall increases in
this market will be held to 5
to 15 percent (not including
yearly medical trend), and
some small groups will see
decreases by as much as 40
percent, they will be subsi-
dized by other small groups
that could see premiums jump
by as much as 150 percent
depending on their current
group health status.
As a CPA, I have no doubt
these substantial changes will
force many employers to drop
coverage altogether because
it is simply unaffordable
and too unpredictable. This
will result in more Ohioans
moving into a government-
subsidized program costing
all taxpayers more money to
pay for the health insurance
subsidies for those that were
previously covered by their
employers.
The study also provides
estimates for growth in
Ohios Medicaid program
because of changes mandated
in Obamacare. These require-
ments are going to push
more than 1 million people
into Medicaid and poten-
tially another 500,000 into
the government-subsidized
exchanges. When you add it
all up, its possible that half
of all Ohioans will receive
some type of health coverage
through a taxpayer-subsidized
program once the law is fully
implemented.
Advocates for the law
would argue that even with
the increase in premiums,
insurance will still be more
affordable because of the gov-
ernment subsidies provided
in Obamacare. They would
have you believe that while
premiums will skyrocket, it
doesnt matter because the
government will pay for sub-
stantial portions of the cost
for many consumers. The
truth is we do need to address
the shortcomings in our cur-
rent system, but our country
cannot continue to spend at
unprecedented and unsustain-
able levels.
There is a staggering price
for every American attached
to providing free or subsi-
dized health care coverage.
At a time when our country is
$14 trillion in debt and when
states are making hard choic-
es to balance their budgets,
this law is going to cause
an explosion in health care
spending never before seen.
The federal governments
own actuary has predicted
that government health care
costs will represent 50 per-
cent of all national health
expenditures by 2020 and
that health care spending in
total will represent 20 percent
of national GDP in that same
year. This is unacceptable.
Handcuffing states with
Obamacares one-size-fits-all
approach is not the reform we
need. Ohioans and Americans
deserve a consumer-driven,
market-based approach that is
transparent and truly account-
able for the cost and quality
of healthcare not a gov-
ernment-knows-best set of
mandates.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Nobody knows enough, but many know too much.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Austrian author (1830-1916).
By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Raising prospects for a
major election-year ruling,
the Obama administration
launched its Supreme Court
defense of its landmark health
care overhaul Wednesday,
appealing what it called a
fundamentally flawed
appeals court decision that
declared the laws central
provision unconstitutional.
Destined from the start for
a high court showdown, the
health care law affecting vir-
tually every American seems
sure to figure prominently in
President Barack Obamas
campaign for re-election next
year. Republican contend-
ers are already assailing it
in virtually every debate and
speech.
The administration for-
mally appealed a ruling by
the federal appeals court in
Atlanta that struck down the
laws core requirement that
individuals buy health insur-
ance or pay a penalty begin-
ning in 2014.
At the same time, how-
ever, the winners in that
appellate case, 26 states and
the National Federation of
Independent Business, also
asked for high court review
Wednesday, saying the entire
law, and not just the individu-
al insurance mandate, should
be struck down.
The Supreme Court almost
always weighs in when a
lower court has struck down
all or part of a federal law, to
say nothing of one that aims
to extend insurance cover-
age to more than 30 million
Americans.
The bigger question had
been the timing. The adminis-
trations filing makes it more
likely that the case will be
heard and decided in the term
that begins next week.
Repeating arguments it
has made in courts across the
country in response to many
challenges to the law, the
administration said Congress
was well within its consti-
tutional power to enact the
insurance requirement.
Disagreeing with that, the
26 states and business group
said in their filings that the
justices should act before the
2012 presidential election
because of uncertainty over
costs and requirements.
On the issue of timing,
their cause got an unex-
pected boost from retired
Supreme Court Justice John
Paul Stevens, who said vot-
ers would be better off if
they knew the laws fate law
before casting their ballots
next year.
The 91-year-old Stevens
said in an Associated Press
interview that the justices
would not shy away from
deciding the case in the mid-
dle of a presidential cam-
paign and would be doing the
country a service.
Though the Atlanta appeals
court struck down the indi-
vidual insurance requirement,
it upheld the rest of the law.
The states and the business
group say that would still
impose huge new costs.
In another challenge to the
same law, the federal appeals
court in Cincinnati sided with
the administration. In a sep-
arate Supreme Court filing
Tuesday night, the Obama
administration said it does
not appear necessary to grant
review of the Cincinnati case
and the government added
that consolidating the two
cases could complicate the
presentation of arguments
without a sufficient corre-
sponding benefit.
The law would extend
health coverage mainly
through subsidies to purchase
private insurance and an
expansion of Medicaid. The
states object to the Medicaid
expansion and a provision
forcing them to cover their
employees health care at a
level set by the government.
The individual insurance
mandate indisputably served
as the centerpiece of the deli-
cate compromise that pro-
duced the law, according to
the states, with Florida taking
the lead.
Obama appeals health
care snag to high court

WASHINGTON Think
of super PACs as shadow cash
machines for presidential can-
didates. Theyre going to be
big this year.
Real big.
Super PACs made their
debut following a Supreme
Court decision that removed
restrictions on corporate and
union spending in elections.
Super PACs spent more than
$65 million that cycle, accord-
ing to data from the nonpar-
tisan Center for Responsive
Politics, which tracks cam-
paign spending. Republican-
leaning groups far outpaced
their Democratic counterparts,
helping Republicans win con-
trol of the House and pick up
six seats in the Senate.
The independent fundrais-
ing groups can gather and
spend unlimited money to run
ads supporting a candidate or
attacking a rival. The lead-
ing Republican contenders,
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and
former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney, both have at
least one super PAC work-
ing to boost their candidacies.
Another super PAC is backing
President Barack Obamas re-
election bid.
Although they arent per-
mitted to coordinate directly
with the campaigns, which
must follow strict federal
restrictions on what they can
raise and spend, many of the
groups are staffed by former
aides and fundraisers who
know the candidates think-
ing and strategy. Watchdog
groups see super PACs as just
the latest erosion of campaign
finance rules that date back
to the Watergate era of the
1970s.
Republican-leaning super
PACs were first influential in
the 2010 congressional elec-
tions. Now, presidential con-
tenders are receiving millions
of dollars in financial back-
ing from new free-spending,
unregulated political action
groups.
Make Us Great Again
PAC, a super PAC support-
ing Republican front-runner
Rick Perry, was co-founded
by Mike Toomey, a former
chief of staff to the Texas gov-
ernor. Documents show the
group plans to spend $55 mil-
lion to support Perrys White
House run.
The Perry-aligned super
PAC will have to compete with
Restore Our Future, formed
to boost his top rival, Mitt
Romney. It raised $20 million
from January through June. Its
treasurer, Charles Spies, was
general counsel for Romneys
2008 White House bid.
To some degree, outside
groups are supplanting the
role of the major political par-
ties, which help coordinate
messages and get-out-the-
vote efforts for candidates,
but also operate under strict
federal fundraising rules. The
party committees remain an
important, if somewhat dilut-
ed, force. The Democratic
National Committee has raised
more than $80 million to sup-
port Obamas re-election cam-
paign, recent federal filings
show.
Unlimited big money may drive campaigns
WASHINGTON (AP)
The Energy Department on
Wednesday approved two
loan guarantees worth more
than $1 billion for solar ener-
gy projects in Nevada and
Arizona, two days before the
expiration date of a program
that has become a rallying cry
for Republican critics of the
Obama administrations green
energy program.
Energy Secretary Steven
Chu said the department has
completed a $737 million loan
guarantee to Tonopah Solar
Energy for a 110 megawatt
solar tower on federal land
near Tonopah, Nev., and a
$337 million guarantee for
Mesquite Solar 1 to develop a
150 megawatt solar plant near
Phoenix.
The loans were approved
under the same program that
paid for a $528 million loan
to Solyndra Inc., a California
solar panel maker that went
bankrupt after receiving the
money and laid off 1,100
workers. Solyndra is under
investigation by the FBI and is
the focal point of House hear-
ings on the program.
SolarReserve LLC, of
Santa Monica, Calif., the par-
ent company for Tonopah, is
privately held. The Energy
Department said its rules pre-
vented it from discussing the
companys financial informa-
tion. Sempra Energy of San
Diego, which owns Mesquite,
is publicly held.
Energy Department spokes-
man Damien LaVera said the
two projects had extensive
reviews that included scru-
tiny of the parent companies
finances.
Chu said the Nevada proj-
ect would produce enough
electricity to power more
than 43,000 homes, while the
Arizona project would power
nearly 31,000 homes. The two
projects will create about 900
construction jobs and at least
52 permanent jobs, Chu said.
If we want to be a player
in the global clean energy race,
we must continue to invest
in innovative technologies
that enable commercial-scale
deployment of clean, renew-
able power like solar, Chu
said in a statement.
Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev., is a strong
supporter of the Nevada proj-
ect, which he says will help
his states economy recover.
Former Gov. Jim Gibbons, a
Republican, also supported
the project.
The loan approvals came
just two days before a renew-
able energy loan program
approved under the 2009 eco-
nomic stimulus law is set to
expire. At least seven projects
worth more than $5 billion are
pending.
Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla.,
chairman of a House energy
subcommittee that is inves-
tigating Solyndra, said the
impending deadline was no
reason to complete loans
before they are ready.
Solyndra was the product
of a bad bet rushed out the
door, and taxpayers are now
on the hook, he said. We
cannot afford DOE rushing
out more Solyndras in these
final hours.
A government watchdog
group said the Solyndra bank-
ruptcy shows the need for
greater oversight of all the
departments loan guarantee
programs.

Close of business Sept. 28, 2011
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
St. Johns stands atop of the
Midwest Athletic Conference
grid race with Coldwater and
Marion Local with a 3-0 mark
(3-2 overall).
The Blue Jays look
to keep that perch
as they invade The
Hole of Versailles
to battle the 4-1 (2-1
MAC) Tigers.
Blue Jay head
coach Todd Schulte
knows his team has its
work cut out for it.
Versailles has
been going in the
right direction that last couple
of years and they continue to
do so. What I see is that they
are more balanced this year
out of their spread offense,
Schulte noted. They spread
you out and their sophomore
quarterback, Nick Campbell,
does a great job spreading
it around on the outside. He
doesnt have the go-to guy
he always looks for, which
makes them even more
dangerous; you cant
focus your defense on
one guy. At the same
time, they can run the
ball well out of this,
especially Campbell, so
you cannot fall asleep
on that, either. They
have an athletic front
line; they arent big but
they move well to get
in position to block for
whatever they are doing. It is
important that we are on our
toes defensively and not fall
asleep against anyone they put
out there.
Defensively, they run
a 4-4 scheme that is more
attacking and blitzing; that
is always a concern for an
offense like ours because pen-
etration is one thing you dont
want. No question, that is one
of the biggest keys for
us; we want to run the
ball;, so we have to
establish the line of
scrimmage.
The Jays, still
without the services
of senior signalcaller
Alex Clark (injury), are
putting up 18.4 points
and 224.8 yards per
game. The offense is
led by senior runner
Jordan Bergfeld (48 rushes,
206 yards, 5 scores), Tyler
Jettinghoff (28 for 126, 2),
Mark Boggs (21-of-38 pass-
ing, 336 yards, 3 TDs, 3
picks; 46 rushes, 110 yards,
1 TD), Tanner Calvelage (15
grabs, 295 yards, 2 scores),
tackle Alex Wehri (6 pan-
cake blocks) and guard Bryce
Schulte (4).
The defense is ceding 13.2
points and 284.4 yards
(162.4 rushing) an outing.
Tops for the stop troops
are Brent Schwinnen
(28 solos, 24 assists),
Jettinghoff (33 and 16),
Kyle Neumeier (18 and
25), Cody Looser (19 and
15), Ryan Densel (20 and
10; 2 picks), Calvelage (3
picks) and senior Adam
Haunhorst (4 QB har-
rassments).
The Jays hammered St.
Henry 35-10 a week ago.
I liked how we came
out and scored on our first
drive. We had a great first
half and led 28-3, Schulte
added. We didnt put them
away the second half as I had
hoped where we could get our
younger players more time.
We talked about that all week
about playing four quarters;
we have some inexperienced
players and that was some-
thing they needed to learn.
We know we cannot afford to
do that this week.
The Tigers of fourth-year
coach Bob Olwin have grown
to understand the offense bet-
ter, according to the coach,
despite a loss a week ago to
Coldwater.
That is the biggest area
weve improved; these guys
have adapted well to what
weve tried to do the last four
years. They have had a great
attitude and work really hard,
Olwin noted. We dont have
a lot of size up front but our
offensive and defensive lines
have done their jobs. Were
still not there yet wed like
to get back the swagger they
used to have here under Coach
(Al) Hetrick because we
do some good things and then
take a step back but overall,
were making steps.
Last week, we were hum-
ming along and leading 19-6
after 32 minutes. That is when
we took that step back: we had
three straight 3-and-outs, had
a turnover and then some spe-
cial-teams breakdowns. We
learned the lesson that foot-
ball is a 48-minute game.
Campbell (83-of-140 pass-
ing, 1,344 yards, 19 TDs, 6
picks; 66 rushes, 298 yards,
5), leads the pack, along with
Mitchell Campbell (29 catch-
es, 454 yards, 9 scores), Ethan
Bruns (21 for 333, 4), Aaron
McNeilan, Jacob Heitkamp
and Jordan Luthman.
I see the same thing from
St. Johns that I have seen for
three years, except they dont
have the Chris Pohlmans and
Wes Ulms. They are still pret-
ty quick and have a ton of
speed, Olwin added. They
have some good backs again
and their quarterback might
be a backup but he is com-
ing on, especially running that
option.
There are two things we
have to do: play disciplined
defensively against that option
and continue to make strides
offensively.
Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

Jefferson football coach
Bub Lindeman is preparing
his Wildcats for a vastly-
improved Crestview
team in a Northwest
Conference tussle
Friday (7:30 p.m.) at
Stadium Park.
One major difference
than the past few years
is the new triple-option
attack first-year Knight
head coach Jared
Owens has installed.
Trevor Roop is the
quarterback and he has done
a nice job picking that up; he
prefers to run but they have
a nice running back in Matt
Holden; he has good speed,
Lindeman explained. They
have been talking about their
junior class for a while now
and they are starting to reap
some benefits. They
have a couple of big
guys up front and they
have decent size and
speed overall. For us,
the key is to force them
into passing situations
because I feel that is to
our advantage if we can
do so.
Defensively, they
run a combination of
5-2, 3-5, 3-4; its an odd-
stacked defense but whatever
they use, they like to stack the
box and force you into pass-
ing situations. Our desire is to
get our running game going
and then use play-action off
of that; that means we have
to establish the line of scrim-
mage.
Leading the Wildcats (2-3,
2-2 NWC) on the offensive
side averaging 31.6 points
and 320.4 yards per game
are the likes of Austin
Jettinghoff (37-of-59 passing,
667 yards, 9 touchdowns, 2
picks), Quentin Wessell (51
rushes, 270 yards, 2 TDs;
6 catches, 42 yards), Tony
George (13 grabs, 281 yards,
2), Shayn Klinger (7 grabs,
117, 1), Ross Thompson
(6 for 145, 3), tackle Geoff
Kettcham (8 pancake blocks)
and center Justin Rode (5).
Senior tailback Curtis Miller
(42 rushes, 279 yards, 8; 22
total tackles) is still question-
able with an injury.
The Wildcat D giv-
ing up 28.4 points and 328.2
yards an outing is paced
by Zac Bland (26 solo tack-
les, 14 assists), Thompson
(31 and 9), Rode (34 and 5),
Colin McConnahea (28 and
11), Drew Kortokrax (29 and
8), Wessell (27 and 9) and
George (4 picks).
Delphos comes off a 48-14
beatdown by Lima Central
Catholic Saturday
night.
They arent num-
ber one in Division
V for no reason,
Lindeman added. I
am proud of the effort
my guys showed; we
played to the final
whistle and played
with great effort. You
just have to admit
we lost to a better team that
night.
Owens and his Knights
have rebounded from an
0-2 start to stand at 3-2 (2-1
NWC).
It comes down to simple
execution, according to the
first-year coach.
That is the biggest
difference we have
had form the first two
games: better execu-
tion on offense and
defense. Defensively,
we have simplified our
packages; instead of
having four coverages
and 10 blitzes in our
game plan, we have
lessened the amount
so our kids can just play, he
explained. Offensively, the
kids have started to under-
stand our offense more and
more; Trevor in particular has
become more comfortable at
running the option, especially
in making the right reads and
decisions, and we are better at
holding onto the football.
He also credits his offen-
sive and defensive lines, in
particular two-way senior
linemen Jared Burger, Drew
Miller and Chase Walters
and senior offensive lineman/
linebacker Nick Cunningham,
as being the bedrock of the
Knight attack.
Owens figures the key to
the game Friday is up front.
Jefferson wants to run
the football, no doubt; that is
their identity. They have a big
back in Miller and he is very
tough to bring down, Owens
added. Defensively, they
want to stop the run and force
us into passing situations.
Both teams want to estab-
lish that line of scrimmage
and not only control it but
push it back on either side of
the ball. That will be the key
to winning Friday night.

Jays invading The Hole for MAC showdown
Wednesday nights
wild-card baseball games
had more drama than I
think I have ever seen in
my 30-plus years OK, I
have a FEW more miles on
my engine on this plan-
et we call Earth.
There were some
great stories,
some unbeliev-
able drama and
some moves that
you shook your
head at both the
decision AND the
outcome.
Like Joe Maddon,
Tampa Bays manager.
Pinch-hitting Dan Johnson,
he of the awesome, stu-
pendous, incredible .098
batting average, in the
ninth inning with the Rays
down to their final at-bat
and then delivering a solo
bomb to tie the game was
one of those everything-
is-going-my-way calls
that makes you think he
should head to Las Vegas.
Unfortunately, this
season of 2011 will be
remembered as much for
the total and complete
collapses of the Atlanta
Braves (National League)
and Boston Red Sox
(American) in the month
of September as for the
incredible comebacks of
the Rays and St. Louis
Redbirds in the National
League.
I know there are a lot
of fans that say it couldnt
happen to a nicer team
the red Sox and only
wish it had happened to the
Evil Empire Yankees but
I dont have a hatred for
the Red Sox. Im not even
sure I hate the Yankees
like I used to its all
peace, love, power to the
people!
Reporters were asking
Sox players like David
Ortiz, etc., what happened
and they had dumbfounded
looks on their faces and I
dont know answers.
I have the answer: you
choked!!!
The Braves at least had
a legit reason: injuries.
They are part of the game
but its still hard to swal-
low if you are a Braves
fan like Steve Weiner.
The crazy thing is that
while all this was going on,
teams like Texas, Arizona,
even Philadelphia, were
quietly finishing excellent
seasons and positioning
themselves for hoped-for
long playoff runs and a
potential World Series
title.
You know, I like the
new neighborhood
Thursdays that my
column is in. I think Ill
stay.

Delphos FFA members attending camp are, front from left, Tanner Vermule, Veronica
Vulgamott, Caitlin Landwehr and Jessica Hammons; and back, Wes Roby, Samantha
Stose and Jordan Barclay.
Delphos FFA members
attend annual camp
Seven Delphos FFA
members recently embarked
on a journey to FFA Camp
Muskingum. Their trip would
take them to Carroll County,
4 1/2 hours from Delphos, to
the home of FFA Camp.
The week-long session that
the members attended was
packed full of leadership, team
building, communication, and
recreational activities. The
members had the opportunity to
meet and visit with this years
State FFA Officer Team, relax
and enjoy different aspects of
camp, and most importantly
create friendships with close to
300 other FFA members from
across the state.
During the week, Delphos
FFA members participated in
four team building and prob-
lem solving based workshops
presented by the State FFA
Officers. They participated
in various contests and tour-
naments to earn points for
their camp chapters. Several
of them took advantage of the
opportunity to go swimming,
kayaking, canoeing, and
motor boating on Leesville
Lake. The experience of
being surrounded by new
people allowed our members
to share activities and experi-
ences that they have gained
with the Delphos FFA and
learn about other activities
that they could implement
when they arrive at home.
FFA Camp has been
established since 1942, and
during the five weeks that
the camp is open to FFA
members over 1,000 of them
will attend. The life skills that
are gained at camp come in
a different form than those
that are usually presented in
the classroom because of the
relaxed camp environment.
The experience has allowed
Delphos FFA members to
experience personal growth
and gain skills that are neces-
sary for a successful future.
Harvest safety tips
BY GLEN ARNOLD
Ag educator
OSU Extension,
Putnam County
Fall harvest will soon get
started and soon will be into
one of the busiest times of
the year for farmers. Long
hours and dangerous working
conditions are accepted as a
normal part of the life of a
farmer. Farmers are accus-
tomed to working alone and
if an accident occurs help is
usually not close by.
Fall harvest is expected to
be much longer than normal
this year due to the very late
spring planting season. The
harvest of early soybeans will
likely begin next week but
corn harvest could drag on
through most of October.
Some safety tips for
farmers
Stay alert. Take breaks
get out of the cab and
walk around every few hours.
Keep your cell phone charged
so you can communicate as
needed when you need wag-
ons moved, etc.
Shut down before work-
ing on a machine. If the com-
bine becomes clogged, shut
off the motor, not just the
header, before attempting to
unplug it by hand.
Know where your co-
workers and family mem-
bers are. Visibility is poor
around large machinery and
at night. Many deaths are the
result of bystanders or family
members being run over or
crushed between machines.
Never trust hydraulic
systems when working under
a machine. Always use a
safety prop if you must work
under a header or other heavy
machinery.
Never step over a rotat-
ing PTO. A few extra steps to
walk around the tractor arent
worth losing your life over.
Never stand on grain that
is being moved. Every year
people drown in grain carts
and grain bins that are being
emptied. Keep all kids away
from grain hauling equip-
ment.
Keep grain auger grates
and shields in place. Be sure
your equipment is properly
maintained to avoid break-
downs.
If you must move machin-
ery on a roadway after dark,
have all necessary working
headlights and flashing front
and rear warning lights. The
better you can be seen the
less likely you are to be hit by
a motorists.
Safety tips for rural res-
idents
Remember to be watch-
ful on county roads during
harvest. A car going 50 mph
coming up behind a farm
implement moving at 15 mph
closes at a rate of over 50 feet
per second.
Dont pull out in front of
farm vehicles. Heavily loaded
trucks and grain trailers cant
stop as quickly as a passenger
car.
Be aware of Slow
Moving Vehicle (SMV)
signs. Farmers place these
triangular signs on the back
of slow moving tractors and
wagons. Know to slow down
when you see them.
Watch out! Trucks and
farm equipment may be enter-
ing the roadway from field
lanes in places where you
wouldnt normally expect
them. Be extremely cautious
when passing farm equipment
as it could be making a left
turn you are not expecting.
Give them room.
Combines, tractors, wagons,
trucks and tillage equipment
are big and wide and take up
nearly all of a rural roadway.
When overtaking a combine,
give the farmer time to see
you and to find a place where
he/she can pull over and make
room for you to pass. Never
try to pass a combine or other
implement on the shoulder of
the road and never attempt to
pass until the driver is aware
of your presence.
Harvest activity can dis-
turb deer causing them to be
on the move during times of
the day they are usually lying
down. Be especially alert for
deer during harvest.
Keep up to date on the
worlds of foreign affairs,
local events, fashion,
sports, finance, and many
other subjects with your
newspaper. Youll also
find entertaining features,
like cartoons, columns,
puzzles, reviews, and lots
more.

OTTAWA A soggy
Pike Run golf course greeted
Putnam County League golfers
Wednesday as they gathered to
play for the league crown.
While the playing conditions
and a heavy late afternoon rain
shower made things
tough on the golfers,
they didnt seem to
bother Ottoville.
The Big Green
turned in one of
their better rounds
of the season to win
the PCL tournament
championship again.
Ottoville shot a 305 to
win the league title, followed
by Kalida with a 318. Miller
City finished third with a 350,
Leipsic was fourth with a 361,
followed by Columbus Grove
with a 361 and Fort Jennings
with a 367. Leipsic finished
fourth as their fifth-man score
was lower than Columbus
Groves fifth-man score.
Im really proud of the
way we played, Ottoville
coach Jim Brown said. There
was a time today I thought
we need to gather the animals
two by two when that heavy
rain moved through. It kind
of ends our regular season on
a good note. We had a really
nice regular season and these
guys really wanted it. They
dug down deep. Weve kind of
been looking for some mental
toughness and I think we found
it today playing in these condi-
tions and the competition.
Number three
man Zach Weber
led the Big Green
as he shot a 73 to
earn medalist hon-
ors as well as first-
team all-league
honors. Kyle
Karhoff added a
75, Travis Maag had a 76 and
Derek Schimmoeller had an 81
to round out the Ottoville scor-
ing. Karhoff and Maag joined
Weber on the first team
and Schimmoeller was
a second-team award-
winner.
He (Weber) may
be the best bad-weather
player I have seen,
Brown said. When the weath-
er gets bad, it just doesnt seem
to bother him. He goes out
there and plays really well; not
to say the other guys didnt.
Kyle played well and Travis
had a career score with a 76 in
these kind of conditions. I was
real pleased with all of them
and Derek had a good round. I
thought, today, 81 was a great
score, but there were a lot of
great scores for these condi-
tions.
Kalida also had four play-
ers receive all-league honors,
led by Neil Reckers 78 as
he earned first-team all-league
honors. Cody
Mathew (79),
Zach Erhart
(80) and Eric
Kahle (81) all
received sec-
ond-team all-
league honors.
I thought
the way the course was and
with the rain, anything below
320 was a good score today,
Kalida coach Ken Schnipke
said. Im happy with a
318 but there is no way
we can shoot a 305. My
players shot well today.
We had four players
receive all-league hon-
ors and we threw out an
85, which I thought was a good
score for today. Ottoville just
played really well today.
Fort Jennings Kurt
Warnecke received first-
team honors with a 78.
Cody Warnecke had a 93,
Zach Schuerman a 96 and
Nate German a 100 for the
Musketeers.
Leipsics Troy Niese was
named to the second team after
shooting an 81.
Columbus Grove was led
by Jeff Birkemeier with an
87, Taylor Giesige had an 88,
Kody Griffith had a 90 and
Matt Silver a 96.
Fort Jennings
Cody Warnecke,
along with Columbus
Groves Giesige and
Birkemeier, received
Scholar-Athlete awards
as well.
All the PCL teams
will be back in action
today in Division III sectional
action.

ELIDA Miller City and
Elida battled in a long vol-
leyball marathon Wednesday
night at Elida. The Bulldogs
came out strong and won the
first set, Miller City bounced
back and won the second and
third sets and Elida forced a
fifth set but lost, 25-18, 20-25,
14-25, 26-24, 15-10.
The Wildcats improved to
9-7, while Elida fell to 6-6 on
the season.
The Wildcats ran off a key
7-2 lead in the fifth set but
Elida came close with a kill by
freshman Aubrey Williams (11
kills) to bring her team within
three, 9-6. Back-to-back-to-
back aces from Bailey Dangler
(9 kills, 6 aces, 12 digs) gave
Miller City the victory.
I give credit to Miller City;
they gained confidence and
took game five, Elida coach
Kevin King said. They came
out at us and we didnt know
how to respond. We didnt
compensate for what we were
doing wrong and make better
decisions.
Despite Elida having seven
hitting errors, the first set was
all Elida as senior Katrina
Meeks (17 kills, 15 digs, 4
aces, 3 blocks) led her team
with four kills and two blocks
in that span. Meeks put one
down on an overpass by Miller
City to take a 5-1 lead.
An attack by Torie
McAdams (7 kills, 6 blocks,
3 aces), assisted by Kelsey
Smith (39 assists, 4 blocks,
3 aces) gave the Bulldogs a
16-12 lead. Back-to-back aces
by Smith and a few mental
errors by Miller City gave
Elida the first-set victory.
Set two was close as it
was tied at 15 with a kill from
Wildcat Taylor Niese (8 kills,
3 blocks), assisted by Emily
Doster (33 assists). An over-
pass by Miller City set up Ally
Bader (6 kills) for a putdown
as Elida went up 18-17. A big
block by Niese and a kill gave
the Wildcats the second set.
The third set was controlled
by Miller City as Courtney
Niese (12 kills) had five set
kills, along with four digs. The
Wildcats quickly jumped to
leads of 10-4 and 16-8 thanks
largely to Niese. An ace by
Dangler gave her team a con-
trolling 22-14 lead as Miller
City won set three easily.
Elida had to win the crucial
fourth set in order to go the
distance. The Bulldogs jumped
off to a 9-4 lead with a kill
by Meeks. Miller City rallied
back to take a 19-18 lead with
a kill by Courtney Niese.
Williams stepped up big for
the Bulldogs as she had a big
block and a kill to tie the set
at 22. A later kill by Williams
gave Elida a 25-24 lead. Miller
City hammered one over
but libero Alex Hambleton
(29 digs) was there and the
Wildcats missed an attack to
keep Elida alive for set five.
The girls started out slow
but once we got into our groove
and got into it, we played very
strong and it was a great team
effort, Miller City first-year
coach Cheryl Krienbrink said.
Once they started getting into
that groove, they just played
their game.
Miller City libero Ali
Lammers had a team-high 19
digs and Samantha Michael
had 18 digs.

ASK DOCTOR K by
Anthony L. Komaroff,
M.D.
Regular readers of
this space are familiar
with the Ask Dr. Gott
column. This is the first
of a new column: Ask
Doctor K. Like Dr. Gott,
I will respond to reader
questions. I hope you
will find my comments
as helpful as Dr. Gotts
were.
Im a practicing
doctor. I see and treat
patients, and am a
professor at Harvard
Medical School. I am
also responsible for
all of our schools
newsletters, special
health reports and
books about health for
the general public.
Why am I writing
this column? A patient
of mine once surprised
me by asking: You take
my medical history, you
examine my body, you
order tests and prescribe
treatments. So whats
the most important thing
you do for a patient?
No one had ever
asked me that question.
I hadnt asked it myself.
So I had to think for
a minute. Then I told
the patient: The most
important thing I do is
explain -- explain what
I think is wrong, and
why, and explain what
needs to be done, and
why.
Im writing this
column because I
believe in the power of
information to improve
peoples health.
In the years since I
went to medical school,
two hugely important
things have occurred.
The first is that medical
science has progressed
much faster than most
doctors expected.
What once was science
fiction is now reality.
For example, we can
see deep inside your
body without touching
you. We can determine
whether you have a
particular genetic defect
and treat it.
The second
important thing is that
scientific studies (many
of them conducted
at Harvard) have
revealed how powerful
lifestyle changes are
in lengthening life and
making those added
years healthy ones.
Youve almost surely
heard that eating right
and regular exercise are
good for you. Thats not
news. What might be
news is just how good
they are for you. Did
you know, for example,
that specific changes in
your diet and regular
exercise can reduce
your risk of getting the
most common kind of
diabetes by
70 percent?
No medicine
yet invented
can do that
for you. But
you can do it
for yourself.
Y o u
can send
questions to
me through my website:
www. As kDoct or K.
com. You also can mail
them to me in care of
Universal Uclick, 1130
Walnut St., Kansas City,
MO 64106. I wont be
able to answer all the
questions that are sent
to me, but Ill do the
best I can.
I cant offer any
specific medical
advice, of course: Only
your doctor knows
you well enough to do
that. Instead, I want to
provide information
that you can use to
protect your health, and
to deal with symptoms
and diseases. I also
want to tell you about
the amazing new
discoveries that can help
you and your family --
new treatments that are
available today, or will
be soon.
I really look forward
to answering your
questions. Through my
website, I will welcome
your comments and
suggestions as to how
Im doing. Tomorrow,
well begin.

ASK DOCTOR K by
Anthony L. Komaroff,
M.D.
Regular readers of
this space are familiar
with the Ask Dr. Gott
column. This is the first
of a new column: Ask
Doctor K. Like Dr. Gott,
I will respond to reader
questions. I hope you
will find my comments
as helpful as Dr. Gotts
were.
Im a practicing
doctor. I see and treat
patients, and am a
Medical School. I am
also responsible for
all of our schools
newsletters, special
health reports and
books about health for
the general public.
Why am I writing
this column? A patient
of mine once surprised
me by asking: You take
my medical history, you
examine my body, you
order tests and prescribe
treatments. So whats
the most important thing
you do for a patient?
No one had ever
asked me that question.
I hadnt asked it myself.
So I had to think for
a minute. Then I told
the patient: The most
important thing I do is
explain -- explain what
I think is wrong, and
why, and explain what
needs to be done, and
why.
Im writing this
column because I
believe in the power of
information to improve
peoples health.
In the years since I
went to medical school,
two hugely important
things have occurred.
The first is that medical
science has progressed
much faster than most
doctors expected.
What once was science
fiction is now reality.
For example, we can
see deep inside your
body without touching
you. We can determine
whether you have a
particular genetic defect
and treat it.
The second
important thing is that
scientific studies (many
of them conducted
at Harvard) have
revealed how powerful
lifestyle changes are
in lengthening life and
making those added
years healthy ones.
Youve almost surely
heard that eating right
and regular exercise are
good for you. Thats not
news. What might be
news is just how good
they are for you. Did
you know, for example,
that specific changes in
your diet and regular
exercise can reduce
your risk of getting the
most common kind of
diabetes by
70 percent?
No medicine
yet invented
can do that
for you. But
you can do it
for yourself.
Y o u
can send
questions to
me through my website:
www. As kDoct or K.
com. You also can mail
them to me in care of
Universal Uclick, 1130
Walnut St., Kansas City,
MO 64106. I wont be
able to answer all the
questions that are sent
to me, but Ill do the
best I can.
I cant offer any
specific medical
advice, of course: Only
your doctor knows
you well enough to do
that. Instead, I want to
provide information
that you can use to
protect your health, and
to deal with symptoms
and diseases. I also
want to tell you about
the amazing new
discoveries that can help
you and your family --
new treatments that are
available today, or will
be soon.
I really look forward
to answering your
questions. Through my
website, I will welcome
your comments and
suggestions as to how
Im doing. Tomorrow,
well begin.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Woman in
loveless
marriage
Dear Annie: I have been
married to George for 11
years. In the past two, George
and I have had sex only three
times. Lately, when I go to
kiss him, he turns away.
I have asked George if
there is someone else or if he
has a medical issue, but he
denies both. Ive been told
I am quite attractive, but he
seems interested
only in the finan-
cial stability I pro-
vide. I am so frus-
trated. The only
thing keeping me
here is that I am
taking classes at a
local college and
am close to fin-
ishing.
I would like to
save my marriage,
but cant do it by
myself. Am I
wasting my time? I dont get
the impression that George
even likes me, let alone loves
me. -- Need an Outsiders
Insight
Dear Need: If George
thinks he has a medical prob-
lem, he should be willing
to see a doctor -- and you
should encourage him to do
so. If he were having an affair
or if he were gay, however,
he might not tell you. Get
some counseling and figure
out whether it is worth stay-
ing in this loveless marriage.
Dear Annie: My sister is
getting married next spring.
My husband and I are excited
for her, but we live in the
Midwest, and they are getting
married in Hawaii.
My husband and I dont
make much money. Weve
been saving for three years to
go to Hawaii on our anniver-
sary in January. We would
prefer to go on our own vaca-
tion rather than deplete our
savings in order to attend
my sisters wedding. To be
fair, it didnt cost my sister a
dime to attend my wedding,
and even she has admitted
that she was a lousy maid of
honor -- rude and demand-
ing.
Now my sister is furious
that we are not planning to
attend. She has demanded
that I put my student loans
into forbearance, get a second
job, go without my husband,
or that we use our vacation
funds.
I feel that if she wants to
have a destination wedding,
great, but she cant expect
people to spend that kind of
money, and she has no right
to dictate how others choose
to spend their money. She has
been quite nasty to me and is
badmouthing us to our friends
and family. Am I wrong not
to spend our money for her
wedding? -- Frustrated with
Finances
Dear Frustrated: We
will admit that your sister
sounds like a selfish spoiled
brat, but we also believe one
should make every effort to
attend major family events.
You already have the money
saved up to go to Hawaii.
Why not combine your vaca-
tion with her wedding? After
the rest of the guests go home
(or before they arrive), you
and your husband
can enjoy the trip
you planned, even if
it is not on the exact
day you wanted.
This is what family
members do when
they love each other
(although your sis-
ter certainly doesnt
make it easy).
Dear Annie: I
read the letter from
Suffering Soon-to-
Be Ex, whose wife
left him after he made the
incredible blunder of saying
he wished hed found his
wifes sister first.
A few years ago, my co-
worker made a huge mistake
during a business conference
call. The very next day, he
wrote on the white board in
his office, Think fast. Talk
slow.
I thought you might want
to pass this sage advice along
to your readers. We were
able to save the client. I hope
Soon is as fortunate. --
Slow Talker

Your earning potential continues
to look encouraging in the next year,
provided you dont
make any needless
vocational alterations.
You could lose out
by making a careless
switch.
LIBRA (Sept.
23-Oct. 23) -- Go out with friends
and enjoy yourself socially, but
dont waste your money on frivolous
pursuits. Youll have a far better time
getting value from what you spend.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Be careful not to take on more than
you can comfortably complete. If you
start a bunch of projects and finish
none, there could be problems for a
long time to come.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Maintaining a positive attitude
not only boosts your disposition, it
helps you be accepted by your peers.
Harboring doubts or being moody
causes you to worry about things
thatll never happen.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Find a way to nicely wiggle out of
lending some money to a friend who
has never repaid you for previous
floaters. Your pocketbook could use
the breather.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Hoping to impress someone by
affecting pretentious mannerisms will
only make you look phony. Relax
and let your wonderful personality
prevail.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Having an indiscreet conversation
with a friend about things that should
remain confidential could turn your
secrets into common knowledge.
Keep your own counsel.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Watch yourself so that you dont snub
someone or treat a person rudely just
because you are envious of his or her
achievements. Youll get your chance
to shine soon.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Strive to be decisive instead of wishy-
washy or condescending, which only
makes you look weak. A failure to take
a firm position could both confuse and
annoy your listeners.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
First seek out the proper instructions
from an expert before using any
unfamiliar tools or materials. You
could get in trouble very quickly if
you simply start throwing switches.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If
you have to associate with someone
whom you know from experience is
deceitful and underhanded, keep your
guard up. People dont easily change.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- So
that youre not construed as being
rude and thoughtless, be mindful of
any promises or appointments youve
made. Oversights on your part will
not easily be forgiven or forgotten.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Youve heard it before: Unless
you have something nice and
complimentary to say about a co-
worker, dont say anything at all.
This never gets old, unlike rude or
nasty behavior.
