City imposes 3-hour weekly furloughs
BY NANCY SPENCER
Herald Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Difficult times
make for difficult decisions.
Mayor Mike Gallmeier and Safety
Service Director Greg Berquist
announced Tuesday that due to the
economic and financial conditions
of the city, operating hours for city
departments will be reduced by three
hours per week.
Along with that, city employees
at the city building, in the mainte-
nance department and at the water
and wastewater treatment plants will
be furloughed three hours each per
week.
Weve made these plans to reduce
our costs and now we have to put
them in motion, Gallmeier said. Its
not a pleasant thing to do, reducing
peoples hours and their paychecks,
but we have no choice.
Effective Monday, the office hours
for the municipal building will be
8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through
Thursday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday.
Service (maintenance, wastewater
and water) departments hours will be
from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday
through Thursday and from 7:30 a.m.
to 12:30 p.m. Friday.
We know how the employees
who work at the city building will be
cutting three hours but the water and
wastewater departments will take a
day or two to figure out how they
are going to do that, Gallmeier
said. We make water and treat at
the wastewater plant 24/7, so they
will have to come up with a plan to
move people around and still have
someone at the plants when they are
needed.
The furloughs will keep approxi-
mately $15,500 in the city coffers for
this years budget. The reduction in
hours affects 27 city employees. Fire
and rescue and police employees are
not included in the furloughs at this
time.
We are looking at those depart-
ments and we will have to work with
the unions to see what we can do,
Gallmeier added. We are sorry for
any inconvenience this may cause
the citizens of Delphos and hope this
condition is short lived.
The city is trying to fill a $250,000
hole in this years budget and looking
at more than $860,000 in red ink next
year. The administration is looking
at all departments for cost-savings
measures.
On Aug. 5, council passed leg-
islation to put a .25-percent income
tax increase on the Nov. 5 General
Election Ballot. If passed, the
increase will generate approximately
$400,000 a year.

OTTAWA Putnam
County Common Pleas
Judge Randall Basinger ruled
Thursday that some state-
ments Michael Fay made to
police before they charged
him with double murder
cannot be used as evidence
against him.
Judge Basinger has ruled
that statements made on May
10 be suppressed and added
the state shall not be permit-
ted to use these statements in
the states case. He also over-
ruled the request to suppress
statements made on May 9,
stating that these would be
admissible in court.
Fay, now 18, is accused
of killing brothers Blake, 17,
and Blaine Rooms, 14, on the
morning of May 9. The three
teens and their mothers shared
a house trailer in Ottawa.
The initial investiga-
tion was conducted at the
Columbus Ohio Police
Department on May 9, where
Fay was in custody. It was
conducted by Putnam County
Sheriff Detective Roy Sargent
and Ottawa Police Officer
Tammy Griffith.
Judge orders suppression
of some of Fay statements

Elida to seek new police chief
BY CYNTHIA YAHNA
Herald Correspondent
ELIDA Elida will be
looking for a new police chief.
Mayor Ron Kopfenstein
read a letter of resignation
from Chief Jeremy Hollis at
Tuesdays meeting. His resig-
nation would be effective as of
Sept. 24.
Janet Bonifas reported to
the council about a recent
budget commission meet-
ing held at the Allen County
Courthouse. The budget com-
mission sets rate and amounts
for each year.
The amount approved by
the budget commission for the
Village of Elida in Schedule A
is $69,206, which is inside the
10-mill limitation. The reason
for this amount is based on the
decrease in value of residents
property, she said.
According to Bonifas, the
entire county rates have gone
down approximately $1,000
per property.
Council heard on first read-
ing an ordinance that would
authorize the mayor and/or vil-
lage administrator to enter into
an addendum to annexation
agreement with the board of
education of the Elida Local
School District regarding the
median located in/on Bulldog
Boulevard. This will be voted
on in the next meeting.
Scott Fessler gave an update
on the Safe-Routes project.
The mayor and I spoke
with the school about the
maintenance of the bike racks
for 20 years and the school
agreed to maintain the bike
racks, he said.
Kim Hardy had some con-
cerns about the language in
article 6 of the Safe-Routes
project. Hardy asked Austin
Klaus if the village was
responsible for any expenses
that might come up over and
above the grant money.

Understanding the difference between
Medicare and the Marketplaces
BY RON POLLACK,
Executive Director
Families USA
If you have Medicare, you may be con-
fused by the buzz surrounding the launch
of the new health insurance marketplac-
es, which are part of the Affordable Care
Act (also known as Obamacare). What
do these marketplaces mean for you? Its
important to understand that Medicare
and the marketplaces are entirely sepa-
rate. If you have Medicare, you should
make the same kinds of decisions about
your Medicare coverage that you make
every year during open enrollment. You
should not sign up for a marketplace
plan. But if you know people who dont
have insurance, they should look into this
new option. Here are some frequently
asked questions about Medicare and the
marketplaces:
Q: If I have Medicare, should I look
for insurance in my states market-
place?
A: No. The marketplaces are intended
to help people who dont have health
insurance. If you have Medicare, you
already have health insurance. You
should make the same kinds of decisions
about your Medicare coverage that you
make ever year.
Q: If I have Medicare, do I need to
worry about the new requirement to
have health insurance?
A: No. If you have Medicare, you
already meet the requirement that people
have insurance starting in 2014. This is
true even if you have only Medicare Part
A. You do not need to buy any supple-
mental coverage to comply with anything
in the Affordable Care Act.
Q: So what should I do about my
Medicare coverage?
A: Similar to last years schedule,
Medicares open enrollment period runs
from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, 2013. During
Medicare open enrollment, you can
decide whether to change plans, join a
new plan, or keep the same Medicare cov-
erage you have. If you have a Medicare
Advantage or Part D prescription drug
plan, you should check to see if your plan
will be changing in 2014, and you should
assess whether your medication needs
have changed. If you have traditional
Medicare, you can think about whether
you want to join a Medicare Advantage
plan. And thanks to the Affordable Care
Act, Part D drug coverage will continue
to improve in 2014, and Medicare will
continue to cover most preventive ben-
efits with no copayments.

Q: What if I have Medicare and
someone tells me I need to get a new
plan because of Obamacare?
A: This is not true. Watch out!
Dishonest people may try to take advan-
tage of consumers by telling them they
need to buy a plan when they dont
need to. In fact, it is against the law for
anyone to sell you a marketplace plan
if he or she knows you have Medicare.
Also, remember that Medicare supple-
mental (Medigap) plans are not sold
through the marketplaces. Never give
your Medicare number or Medicare card
to someone you dont know. You can
report suspected Medicare fraud at www.
StopMedicareFraud.gov.
Q: What about people I know who
do not have Medicare or other health
insurance?
A: There is good news for these folks!
People who do not have insurance will
be able to buy health plans through the
marketplaces, or they may qualify for
expanded Medicaid. Coverage starts on
Jan. 1, 2014. Many people will also
be eligible for financial assistance to
help pay their premiums. These folks
include early retirees who are waiting for
Medicare coverage, or they could be your
adult children or grandchildren. Help
your friends and loved ones by letting
them know they have new options. They
can learn whats available by going to

Yevgeny Kutik
The Russian-American artist
Kutik is hailed for his dazzling
command of the violin and its
repertoire, as well as a commu-
nicative immediacy that harkens
back to the legendary Romantic
masters. A native of Minsk,
Belarus, Mr. Kutik immigrated to
the United States at the age of 5.
Shortly thereafter, he began violin
lessons. Mr. Kutik holds a bach-
elors degree (cum laude) from
Boston University and a masters
degree from the New England
Conservatory.
Mr. Kutiks current season is
highlighted by engagements as
guest soloist with the symphony
orchestras of Lima, Mankato,
Springfield (MA) and Traverse
City, as well as Californias North
State Symphony.
Recent performances include
guest soloist appearances with

York City, the Atlantic, Bozeman,
East Texas, Greensboro, Juneau
and Wyoming symphony orches-
tras, Germanys Norddeutsche
Philharmonie Rostock and WDR

Orchestra and the Tokyo Vivaldi
Ensemble. With the Tanglewood
Music Center Orchestra, Mr.
Kutik gave the 2006 world-
premiere performance of Ron
Fords Versus, receiving praise
from both The New York Times
and The Boston Globe. He has
also returned to The Boston Pops,
under the baton of Keith Lockhart.
Mr. Kutik has appeared in recital
in Chicago, Miami, New York
City, San Francisco, Washington,
DC, Montral, Munich, Prague
and Tokyo, while festival audi-
ences have heard him at Verbier
(Switzerland) and Ludwigsburg
and Oberstdorf (Germany) Of
special, personal significance,
he participated in performances
at the Krakow Opera House
and Auschwitz-Birkenau for
the 2012 annual International
March of the Living observanc-
es.

THE DELPHOS HERALD

Ohio prepares for federal
health insurance market
COLUMBUS (AP) The states director of insurance
says shes waiting like other Ohioans to see how people will
sign up for coverage under President Barack Obamas health
care law.
Gov. John Kasichs administration opted to let the federal
government run the states new health insurance marketplace
that was created by the Affordable Care Act.
Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, who runs the states insurance depart-
ment, told reporters Tuesday that she has browsed the federal
governments website about the law but isnt sure what enroll-
ees will see when they search for coverage.
I still dont have a website that Ive actually been on and
looked at to show me, you know, whats an Ohio consumer
going to see when they go out to see what kinds of options they
have in Ohio. Taylor said. Taylor, a Republican, has been one
of the states most vocal critics of the law.
Consumers can get private health insurance subsidized by
the government through the marketplaces created by the law,
also known as exchanges. Enrollment starts Oct. 1, and cover-
age takes effect in January.
Ohio has yet to certify any navigators, a group of profes-
sionals who will help people get enrolled the new markets.
Taylor initially said the insurance department was process-
ing one application from an entity for certified navigators, but
spokesman Chris Brock later said the department has not yet
received any completed applications.
Four organizations have been awarded federal money to
hire navigators. One hospital in Cincinnati returned its grant
award because of state restrictions.
Ohio created additional regulations for its navigators,
including required background checks, training and certifica-
tion.
Navigators can advise people on whether theyd be eligible
for Medicaid, the federal-state program for the poor and dis-
abled. But they cant offer advice about which health benefit
plan is better or worse for a person.
Providers, health centers, food banks and other groups plan
to help get the word out about the law to the more than 1.5
million uninsured Ohioans.
The head of one consumer advocacy group expressed con-
fidence Tuesday that Ohioans would have enough in-person
help getting enrolled but maybe not in the opening week of
the exchange.
By mid- or late October, well be in great shape, said
Cathy Levine, executive director of the Universal Health Care
Action Network of Ohio. She said her organization eventually
plans to have five counselors on hand to walk people through
the process. They will have people schedule appointments in
the meantime.
People also can apply for coverage online, through a call
center, in person, or on paper on their own.

Shopping in Amish Country
BY KEVIN WILLIAMS
Editors note: Lovinas
column will return next
week. The column is taking
a break this week so I can
take a brief hiatus to enjoy
the arrival of my first child.
Ive watched Lovinas eight
children grow up
over the years, so
I am excited to
be beginning this
new chapter of my
life. By the time
you read this, my
wife will probably
have given birth
to our daugh-
ter. Check out
The Amish Cook
Facebook Fan
Page or theamishcookon-
line.com for updates. Thank
you for all the kind words
and well-wishes.
I would take this week
to tell you about a book
Ive been working on, in
a sense, for over 20 years.
Over the past two
decades I have explored
Amish settlements from
Maine to Montana, from
Missouri to Minnesota,
from Texas to Florida.
Whereas Amish commu-
nities used to be clus-
tered generally in Ohio,
Indiana, Pennsylvania
and a handful of other
Midwestern states, that is
no longer the case. For
those wanting a taste of
the faith and family-filled
life of the Amish, you
probably need look no far-
ther than your home state.
But there has never been
a travel guide providing
comprehensive informa-
tion about Amish Country.
Until now. Introducing
The Williams Guide to
Amish Country scheduled
for release Oct. 1. The
book features dozens of
day-trips, long weekends
and vacation itineraries in
Amish settlements across
the USA.
The book is divided by
states and then subdivided
by settlements. So you can
flip to Indiana and easily
look up Parke Countys
Amish community or
Bernes or Nappanee-
Lagrange. In the book I
give my recommendations
for lodging, best Amish
eats, bakeries, bulk foods,
Amish furniture
stores, Amish-
run bed & break-
fasts, immersion
o p p o r t u n i t i e s
and more. This
is a travel guide
to Amish coun-
try that pulls it
all together in, I
hope, a breezy,
u s e r - f r i e n d l y
way with maps,
sidebars, etc. The book
is heavily tilted towards
showcasing Amish-owned
or Mennonite-owned busi-
nesses and restaurants
where one can go to sam-
ple culturally authentic
meals. Here is an excerpt
from the tips section of
the book:
Tips for making the
most of your visit to
Amish Country
We spend a lot of time
in this book recommend-
ing visiting Amish-owned
home-based businesses
whether that be buying a
dozen fresh eggs or stop-
ping into a quilt shop.
Visiting a home-based
Amish business is a great
way to make new friends
and see their farmsteads
first-hand.
Always employ the
golden rule when vis-
iting an Amish home or
business. Be respectful
and courteous. You prob-
ably wouldnt want some-
one tromping through
your flower beds or gar-
den and peering in your
windows, so its a safe bet
an Amish person doesnt
want that either.
Here are some other
suggestions to make your
trip more enjoyable:
Buy, dont browse.
Time is money for
most entrepreneurs and
the Amish are no differ-
ent. Dont visit a home-
based Amish business and
launch into a three-hour
conversation about your
grandchildren or garden
back home. Do go in and
exchange pleasantries and
small talk but even such
small interactions should
be accompanied by a pur-
chase. Of course there are
times when youre going
to want to just browse and
enjoy the craftsmanship at
an Amish furniture store
or quilt shop and thats
great, just be respectful of
the proprietors time.
Cash, not credit.
The vast majority of
Amish businesses do not
accept credit cards. Some
of the bigger bulk food
stores and bakeries do but
they are still the exception
rather than the rule. Most
Amish businesses will
accept checks but with
horse and buggy being the
main mode of transport it
can take a long time for
a deposit to go through
so if you dont balance
your checkbook methodi-
cally, a check hitting your
account five weeks later
can be a surprise.
We once bought some
cinnamon rolls from an
Amish bake sale and the
check was deposited three
months later. So we like to
use cash when shopping in
Amish country, especially
at the home-based busi-
nesses.

Lancers rally for 4-set win over Lady Cats
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The first set was all
Jefferson Tuesday night at the Jefferson
Middle School Auditorium.
After that, it was all
Lincolnview as the Lady Lancers
made a successful sweep of
Delphos volleyball teams in
two nights, getting an 18-25,
25-11, 25-16, 25-17 Northwest
Conference triumph over the
Lady Jeffcats.
We started off well. We just struggled
to be consistent and keep our head up
when things go bad, Jefferson coach Joy
DeVelvis noted. For us, its a mental
thing; we struggle to get back when we get
down, especially defensively. Our serve-
receive was terrible tonight; we counted
12 shanked passes in the second set alone.
You cant overcome giving away that many
points. We also get into a mode of standing
and watching instead of attacking.
The Lancers (5-10) had swept St. Johns
the night before.
Jefferson (5-10) took advantage of
Lincolnview miscues in the opening (10
hitting errors, 22 for the match), as well
as some nice serving five aces, two by
senior Rileigh Stockwell (4 match kills).
The Red and White built a 22-12 edge on
a hitting error by the Lancers (5-1) and
though the visitors got within 24-18 on a tip
over the block by junior Bailey Neate (10
kills, 2 aces), the home secured the opening
salvo on a hitting miscue on set point.
The first set, we didnt come out men-
tally. We got down and that affects us a
lot, Lincolnview coach Heather Crow
said. We have focused a lot the last couple
of weeks on the mental approach that we
need to have. Fortunately, we got through
it, turned it around in the second set and
never stopped.
The hosts opened the second set as if
things were going to continue,
jumping out to a 4-1 edge on a
push over the block by junior
Desteni Lear (7 kills). A missed
serve by the Wildcats (6 for the
match) gave the impetus to the
visitors and they took advan-
tage. Those hitting miscues in
the first set turned into kills usually off
the Jefferson block or the back row as
setters Devann Springer (junior; 19 assists)
and senior Kelsey Mohr (16 assists, 8 kills,
3 stuffs) had myriad options against the
Delphos front line, especially freshman
Katie McClure (11 kills, 6 aces) and senior
Ashley McClure (9 kills, 4 aces). Add to
that the serving game asserting itself
seven aces in the set (18 for the match),
a mis-hit kill on an overpass by Ashley
McClure that hit off a defender tied
the match at a set each.
Once they got momentum, they
never gave it back. They hit the ball hard
against us, DeVelvis added. In that,
they get the credit. Right now, we need
a confidence-booster: confidence in each
other and in teammates. Its all mental
because physically, we have the ability.
Once the Lancers got that momentum,
they kept it. They continued to pound away
at the net and at the service line and the
Lady Cats simply couldnt match it, try as
they might. They couldnt run their offense
as Coach DeVelvis might have liked, giv-
ing Lincolnview more and better swings
in its attack. When Ashley McClure put
down a spike off a back-row defender on
set point, the visitors had a 2-1 lead.
Set four went much like its two earlier
predecessors. The Wildcats tried to rally
behind Stockwell and Lear, as well as
some good defense led by senior libe-
ro Kamie Pulford and classmate Gabby
Pimpas. They led as late as 12-10 on a
push by senior Katie Goergens (7 kills)
and later at 13-12 on an error. However, a
hitting error by the home team (15 for the
match) and a hit off the defense by Ashley
McClure gave Lincolnview the opening
it needed. Led by their offensive options,
they pulled away and when Springer went
down the line for a kill on match point, it
was over.
We served very well and got a lot of
free points, Crow added. Also, once we
got into it, especially with our serve-receive
and digging, that allowed our setters to really
use everybody. The
good thing about
this team is we

Jennings girls
battle by Jefferson
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
FORT JENNINGS Jefferson and Fort Jennings battled to
a scoreless draw after one half of their girls soccer matchup at
Keith Hamel Memorial Field in Fort Jennings,
Jeffersons home pitch.
The Lady Musketeers got it rolling more
the second half, grabbing a 3-0 victory in
non-conference action on a brilliant Tuesday
afternoon/evening.
Both teams came in with a few injuries to
deal with, with the Lady Wildcats (4-6-1) minus
two players and having another Jordyn
Radler limited in her playing time, while
the Lady Musketeers (5-3-2) were down
five players, including a couple of key per-
formers.
We were playing 14 today. We are
forced to put younger players in key spots
as we have all year and they played
well against a very good team, Jefferson
coach Josiah Stober remarked. I like how
we played hard for 80 minutes; they kept fighting to the very end. I am
impressed with these girls and very proud of their efforts. We keep get-
ting better at everything, even though it may not always show.
Musketeer mentor Rodney Wagner did not blame injuries for his
teams play.
Theres two that would play a lot of minutes. However, we have
played better than we did today, Wagner explained. We didnt pass
well and a lot of our shots were too far out. Weve been working on our
crosses lately, just on a lot of things trying to get on the same page. We
really werent today.
The Musketeers had some good chances in the opening half but
Jefferson junior goalkeeper Kayleigh OConner (10 saves versus 16
shots) came up with the goods, especially coming up with a deflection
of a 20-yarder by senior Ashley Gable at 29:53 and at 24:47, when she
knocked over the crossbar a 17-yarder by senior Marissa Good.
She also denied a 6-yarder by senior Emily Grones 6-yarder at
24:07 and an 8-yarder by Gable at 12:17.
The Lady Cats had a couple of openings against junior netminder
Erin Osting (4 saves, 5 shots): at 34:21, when she stopped junior Kylee
Haehns 17-yarder; and at 20:13, when freshman Arianna Knebel was
over the top from 22 yards.
Both defenses denied open looks in the first 14 minutes of the
second half.
The Red and White had the first good opening at 25:47 when
Haehn fired a 20-yarder that Osting nabbed.

Kalida sweeps Miller City in volleyball
By DAVE BONINSEGNA
DHI Correspondent
KALIDA The night of volleyball started out a bit odd for
the Kalida LadyCats in their Putnam County League match with
the Miller City Wildcats.
The guests took an early 1-0 lead without even a serve being
delivered as Kalida was tagged for an alignment error. However,
that would be the only good thing to happen for the guests as the
LadyCats swept the match 25-15, 25-9, 25-10.
After the miscue in the first se,t the hosts rallied for a 10-5
lead. Carlee Miller had five aces in the first set and 11 on the
night to help pace the set-one win.
Madison Burgei and Kylee Osterhage had back-to-back kills
for the home team to make it a 20-14 contest before Miller City
came back with a pair of aces. The first set was finally decided
on an unforced error by the guests, putting them in a 1-0 hole.
The hometown Cats wasted no time taking control of the
second set, scoring the first seven points and 10 of the first 14.
Kalida was up by a count of 15-6 when Miller took to the serve
line and delivered up six aces in a row to blow the set open.
The final set was much like the second with the Kalida
LadyCats just too much for their guests to contain. Allison
Recker and Osterhage both had kills for the home team and as
where Miller set across the nonreturnable serves in the second
set, Kennedy Hoffman did the same in set three, sending across
three in four serves to give the home team a 20-8 advantage.
Osterhage sent a rocket into the Miller City court to make it
24-10 and Burgei finished it off with the final kill of the night.
Pacing the visitors (2-15, 0-4 PCL) were Janke vanWezel (4
kills, 2 digs), Kylee Ricker (6 digs, 4 assists), Jana Schroeder
(4 digs), Skylar Niese (4 aces, 3 digs) and Chloe Ruck (7 digs).
There was no junior varsity match.
Kalida visits Archbold Thursday.

Local Round Up
Mets rock Leake, give
Reds costly 4-2 defeat
By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI Mike
Leake had one of those nights
that happen to pitchers every so
often. Bad timing for this one.
And now, the Cincinnati
Reds face long odds against
a second straight NL Central
title.
Daniel Murphy hit a 3-run
homer off Leake, whose long
streak of scoreless innings got
shattered early, and the New
York Mets beat Cincinnati 4-2
on Tuesday night, a costly set-
back to the Reds hopes of
another division title.
The Reds and Pittsburgh
Pirates clinched playoff spots
on Monday night, but hoped to
chase down the first-place St.
Louis Cardinals with closing
surges. Leakes one very bad
inning made that much less
likely for the Reds.
Cincinnati fell a daunting
three games behind St. Louis,
which beat Washington 2-0 on
Tuesday night. If they cant
catch up, they are headed for
the wild card playoff game
next Tuesday.
Well forget about this
one, manager Dusty Baker
said. Four games to go.
Leake (14-7) gave up four
runs and eight hits in only 1 2-3
innings, matching the shortest
start of his career. Wilfredo
Tovar ended his scoreless
innings streak at 21 2-3 with
an RBI single, and Murphys
homer gave left-hander Jon
Niese (8-8) the big lead.
That happens, Leake said.
There was one pitch that blew
it open for them. They just got
me.
Niese kept lefties Joey Votto
and Jay Bruce in check again,
holding them to a combined
0 for 6 with four strikeouts.
Niese allowed two runs and
eight hits in seven innings. Vic
Black faced three batters in the
ninth, getting his first career
save on his second try.
Eric Young Jr. had a single
and a double, scored a run
and stole his 42nd base for
the Mets, who have won eight
of 12.
It was a stunning outing for
Leake, who has been the Reds
most effective starter lately.
The right-hander allowed a
total of two runs while winning
his last three starts and getting
his career-high 14th win.
Will the one bad start weigh
in Cincinnatis decision about
its postseason pitching staff?
We arent even thinking
about that yet, Baker said.
Everybodys capable of a bad
start. This is the first one in a
long time for him.
He didnt have his good
control. He threw some balls
over the heart of the plate and
up.
Leake gave up two singles
in the first inning before escap-
ing. Mike Baxter led off the
second with a double and
scored on Tovars single.
The right-hander got an
assist when Bruce threw Tovar
out at the plate as he tried
to score from second base on
Nieses single to right field,
but it wasnt enough. Murphys
three-run homer on the 10th
pitch of his at-bat made it 4-0
with two outs. When David
Wright followed with a sin-
gle the Mets eighth hit
Baker made the change.
Leake didnt look at his start
as a final chance to make a
bid for the postseason pitching
staff. He was left off last year,
but replaced the injured Johnny
Cueto during Cincinnatis
first-round series loss to San
Francisco.
Naw, I wasnt fighting
for anything, Leake said.
Theyre going to decide what-
ever they decide. Its not a
competition for anything.
Niese also got off to a rough
start, giving up singles to Shin-
Soo Choo and Brandon Phillips
on his first two pitches of the
game. He got out of that threat
with the help of center fielder
Juan Lagares, who nailed Choo
at the plate as he tried to score
on Ryan Ludwicks single.
Todd Frazier doubled in the
second and came around on
two groundouts.
Choo tripled Lagares
charged the ball and missed
it and scored when Votto
grounded into a double play in
the fifth, cutting it to 4-2. Votto
is 2 for 15 in his career against
Niese with seven strikeouts.
Bruce is 2 for 13 with six
strikeouts.
Giambis 2-run homer gives Indians 5-4 win
By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND Pinch-hitter Jason
Giambi belted a two-run homer with two
outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland
a stunning 5-4 win over the Chicago White
Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians
up with the lead pack in the AL
wild-card race.
Giambi drove a 1-1 pitch from
Addison Reed (5-4) deep into the
lower deck in right field to prevent
a potentially devastating loss for the
Indians, who havent been to the
postseason since 2007. Giambis
heart-pounding shot bailed out con-
troversial closer Chris Perez, who
gave up two homers in the top of
the ninth and nearly blew a game
Cleveland had to have.
As he rounded third base, the 42-year-
old Giambi slowed down before being
engulfed at the plate by his teammates as
the Indians celebrated their 13th straight win
over Chicago.
Bryan Shaw (6-3) came in after Perez
had nearly given away a game the Indians
couldnt afford to lose.
Giambi has been a steadying force all
season for the Indians in the clubhouse, and
the unquestioned Drama King on it.
This was his 10th career walk-off homer,
and his second pinch-hit, walk-off this sea-
son. On July 29, he became the oldest player
to hit a walk-off homer, breaking a mark pre-
viously held by Hall of Famer Hank Aaron.
Now, Giambi has become the Indians elder
statesman of swat.
Perez owes him big time.
In the top of the ninth, Perez, who has
walked a tightrope on and off the field all
season, had to be pulled by Indians manager
Terry Francona after failing to close out a
3-2 lead.
Cleveland came in holding the second
AL wild-card spot, one game ahead of Texas
and one behind Tampa Bay. And
with five games left, any loss can
be devastating.
On this night, Giambi saved
Perez, the Indians and maybe
their season.
With the Indians leading 3-2,
Perez gave up a homer to Dayan
Viciedo, a shot into the right-field
seats that drew a groan from
Cleveland fans the moment it left
his bat. Perez struck out the next
two hitters, but Alejandro De Aza
connected on his next pitch, driving it over
the wall in right-center. Perez stalked around
the mound with his head down before giving
up a single to Alexei Ramirez.
That brought out Francona to a loud
ovation and Perez, who has been a lightning
rod of debate over the past two seasons, was
booed loudly as he left the field.
The Indians had taken a 3-2 lead in the
seventh on All-Star Jason Kipnis two-out
RBI single and Michael Brantleys leadoff
homer.
With the Indians trailing by a run, and a
scoreboard-watching crowd of 21,083 inside
chilly Progressive Field getting nervous,
Brantley tied it 2-2 with his 10th homer.
Brantley pulled the first pitch from
Santiago into the right-field seats, making
him 13 of 29 (.448) with two homers and
seven RBIs during an eight-game hitting
streak.
Mike Aviles followed with a single and
Michael Bourn sacrificed before White Sox
manager Robin Ventura pulled starter Hector
Santiago. Nick Swishers fly ball to deep
center sent Aviles to third and Kipnis, named
to his first All-Star squad earlier this season,
delivered his clutch hit, punctuating the
single by flipping his bat in the direction of
Chicagos dugout.
Chicago had taken a 2-1 lead in the sev-
enth on De Azas RBI single off Cody Allen,
who inherited a two-on, one-out jam from
starter Ubaldo Jimenez.
Clevelands starter, who came in with
a 1.77 ERA in the second half, gave up a
one-out single to Gordon Beckham before
walking No. 9 hitter Josh Phegley. Francona
came out and took the ball from Jimenez,
who received a standing ovation as he left
the field. He allowed two runs and five hits
in 6 1-3 innings.
Jimenez was in significant trouble in the
fourth, when the White Sox tied it 1-1 on
Avisail Garcias sacrifice fly. Chicago threat-
ened to score more when Viciedo doubled
with two outs, sending Paul Konerko to
third. But with two runners in scoring posi-
tion, Jimenez retired Beckham on an easy
grounder.
Jimenez dodged another jam in the sixth.
Conor Gillaspie led off with a double but
Jimenez retired Konerko on a grounder,
struck Adam Dunn for the third time and got
Garcia to bounce out.
Brantleys RBI blooper to center gave the
Indians a 1-0 lead in the second.

St. Johns ties Miller City in girls soccer
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
DELPHOS Miller City scored a
goal in the first half and St. Johns one
in the second.
All told, the Lady Blue Jays and Lady
Wildcats battled to a 1-1 draw in girls
soccer action Monday at the St. Johns
Annex.
Overall, it was a good game. Our
defensive line did a nice job in front of
Sam at not giving up a lot of good shots
most of the night, St. Johns coach John
Munoz noting. We had a solid game
all-around. There are times we play
kick-ball but then we settle down its
taking less time for us to do so and
start to play our possession game.
Miller City coach Ron Bruce doesnt
have the experienced hands he is used
to.
What I have is a lot of inexperienced
players, Bruce explained. We only
have three players back from last year
with any varsity experience. We start
three freshmen, four sophomores and a
junior, with only five seniors total (out
of 21).
The visitors (3-8-3) had the better of
the proceedings in the first half but Blue
Jay junior netminder Samantha Wehri
(5 saves versus 10 shots) came up with
the goods early on or else the guests
missed the target.
The Jays (4-7-2) had some early
chances, too, with freshman Carleigh
Ankerman moved up front from
her defensive spot had an 18-yarder
denied at 38:50 by Miller City sopho-
more keeper Amanda Simon (7 saves
vs. 10 shots); senior Lindsey Warnecke
nearly connecting with classmate
Lyndsay Mohler at 38:04 but just miss-
ing; and Ankerman missing a 14-yarder
off another corner just over the
top at 33:51.
Wildcat senior Jessica Schmenk, after
a corner kick sequence, barely missed a
14-yarder at 30:20.
At 26:30, Blue Jay senior Jessica
Koverman was shook up and had to
leave the match.
St. Johns nearly made it 1-0 at 13:35
when senior Madison Kreeger slowed
by an injury got a good chance from
14 yards but Simon first deflected the
effort and finally got control.
The visitors finally broke through at
the 2:29 mark of the first half. Freshman
Tiffany Welty launched a floated from
40 yards on the right side that hand-
cuffed Wehri, finding the left side of the
net for a 1-nil halftime edge.
The Jays seemed to take over more in
the second half, limiting the chances the
Wildcats had at the goal to a mere two
(with 2 Wehri saves).
Kreeger had to leave the match at
32:24 with an injury and did not return.
The Jays compensated and had more
solid offerings, with Simon stopping
senior Samantha Bonifas from 25-yards
at 31:55.
However, she could not on their next
great chance: at 20:30. Off a corner kick
sequence in front of the net, sophomore
Erin Williams, got control on the right
post and put a 14-yarder inside that post
for the equalizer.
At 9:54, Warnecke had a 19-yarder
deflected away by Simon.
Simon kept the Jays from scoring the
rest of the way, turning aside efforts by
Bonifas at 9:01 and ay 4:01.
We get everybody back from injury
and then we lose Jessica and MAdison
during the game. Fortunately, they
appear to be more minor, so hopefully,
theyll be back quickly, Munoz added.
Fortunately, we have a week and a
half off for them to get healthy again.
We do have a scrimmage against New
Knoxville before our next match but we
have time to really work on some things
and hopefully start to connect on those
timing plays were just missing. Were
close.
Miller City hosts Archbold Saturday.
Bruce hopes his team can grow up in
a hurry the rest of the way.
We are going through those slowly,
he added. Plus, with the challenging
schedule we play, our opponents take
advantage of every mistake we make.
Were inconsistent, which is what you
expect out of inexperienced players.
The Jays are off until Oct. 5 when
they host Cory-Rawson.

Kahne says he was angry not hurt in interview
By JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Kasey Kahne was frustrated hed blown
his championship chances with a hardheaded mistake at New
Hampshire and it boiled over into a brief televised interview that left
viewers speculating about his health.
Kahne said Tuesday there was nothing physically wrong with
him following his accident at New Hampshire. Rather, he realized
immediately after his crash with 47 laps remaining Sunday that his
title hopes were over, and he allowed his anger to derail the now
widely discussed interview with ESPN reporter Jerry Punch.
I screwed up and I was frustrated. Two races in, Im already
out of the Chase. Its a (crummy) deal, Kahne told The Associated
Press.
Fans watching Kahnes post-crash interview on television imme-
diately took to social media to say Kahne appeared dazed, confused
and some speculated he had a concussion. Punch tried to ask Kahne
what happened to cause the crash, and Kahne said, I dont know.
Im not sure what happened.
Punch tried again, and Kahne didnt offer any more insight. After
a third question from Punch, Kahne told him he couldnt hear him
and the interview came to an awkward end.
I couldnt hear what he was saying, Kahne said Tuesday. I
knew he asked what had happened. At that point, I didnt know
exactly what had happened. I knew we were three-wide getting
into Turn 3. Did we have a little contact, and thats why we spun? I
wasnt positive on that. But I was really just mad, and I didnt think
too much of (the interview) until I saw people thought something
was wrong with me.
Kahnes health was just fine, he said, and hed already been medi-
cally cleared by the care center. He returned to his car with 25 laps
remaining in the race, but the damage was done: Kahne had been
running eighth at the time of the accident, which occurred when he
was stubbornly racing Brian Vickers for position on a restart, and he
wound up 37th. It dropped him to last in the 13-driver Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship field.
I just screwed up. I was under him and we were really close
together and racing hard and you can lose grip pretty easy off of
(Turn) 4, and I maybe should have just backed up a little bit, Kahne
said. But I was trying to stay beside him to be there when we got
to the next corner. I needed to just give up and get in line and try to
pass him later. I didnt want to give up that one spot, and I ended up
giving up 30 spots because I was hardheaded and made a hardheaded
mistake.
It seems only fans were concerned about Kahne following the
interview. Denny Hamlin made fun of the interview on Twitter,
posting a picture of an irritated Kahne and Dale Earnhardt Jr. said
Tuesday he thought the 30-odd seconds captured his Hendrick
Motorsports teammate correctly.
I know a lot of people were commenting on Kasey and how
odd that interview was, but if you know Kasey, he has a tendency to
have that kind of reaction sometimes, Earnhardt said. I wasnt that
surprised. The wreck was odd, how his accident happened was odd,
and I think he was sort of trying to hold himself accountable while
he was being interviewed. I think he was a bit angry with himself.
The accident dropped Kahne 71 points behind leader Matt
Kenseth, winner of the first two Chase races. Its more than a full race
behind Kenseth, and Kahne has resigned himself to his fate.
Its tough to swallow for Kahne, who worked so hard over the
summer to earn a spot in the field.
The first thing you think about is you are racing to make the
Chase, and now you are out of it with eight races still to go, he said.
Its just so many points out. I could see Matt having one bad race,
everybody having one bad race. But not two bad races. The guys
who are going to win the championship are definitely not going to
have two bad races.
Kahne isnt writing off the final two months of the season. He
said he felt awful Sunday night and most of Monday, but perked
back up Tuesday to reset his goals for Hendrick Motorsports and his
No. 5 team.
I feel terrible for my guys, and I feel like we are out of that part
of it, the championship, but theres so many good tracks in the Chase
for us coming up, he said. I feel like we can still come back and
get in the top 10, and maybe even better than that. As much as I love
giving speeches, I want to be part of Las Vegas. I owe it to my guys.
Spieths decision to turn pro dates to Olympic
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
ATLANTA Tiger Woods knew he
was ready to turn pro when he shot a
66 at age 20 in the second round of the
1996 British Open at Royal Lytham & St.
Annes. He closed with a pair of 70s and
tied for 22nd, his best finish as an ama-
teur in 14 professional events. His father
referred to it as his coming out party.
Woods won the U.S. Amateur for the
third straight time a month later, turned
pro and was on his way.
For Jordan Spieth, his moment of
realization came at the U.S. Open when
he was 18.
His amateur career was nowhere near-
ly as decorated as Woods, though the
Texan experienced early on what it was
like to play deep into Sunday afternoon
at the Byron Nelson Championship as a
16-year-old.
Spieth made the cut on the number
at The Olympic Club last summer. He
closed with rounds of 69-70, a 36-hole
weekend score topped only by winner
Webb Simpson. He was low amateur at
the U.S. Open, tied for 21st at 7-over 287.
So being able to play the weekend of
a major championship under par at a
U.S. Open under par I think is when
I sat back said, You know, maybe Im
ready to go, he said.
Spieth went back to Texas for the fall
semester, turned pro and was on his way.
I actually announced pretty much to
my family and coach that I was turning
pro that summer, Spieth said. Then I
just turned after the fall season.
Neither of them had PGA Tour status
when they turned pro.
Spieth started on the Web.com Tour,
got his break when he tied for second in
the Puerto Rico Open, and had enough
money to secure his card five months
into the season. Then he won the John
Deere Classic to earn instant member-
ship.
Woods needed only five starts to get
his first win, in a playoff over Davis
Love III, and then won again at Disney to
qualify for the Tour Championship.
One difference?
Woods didnt play in the Presidents
Cup. The matches were held in 1996 the
same week as the Quad City Open (now
the John Deere Classic). Woods had the
54-hole lead, and the national golf writers
left the Presidents Cup to cover his final
round. Ed Fiori wound up winning.
For Woods, it was one of the few
times he thought about money.
After having the lead there and play-
ing that poorly, I could have (had) my
card right there, he said. If I won the
final round, I would have had a two-year
exemption. I didnt have to worry about
it luckily because I won the Masters, and
the Masters is a 10-year exemption.
FINISHING STRONG: David Toms

was resigned to using a one-time career
money exemption to keep his PGA Tour
card for 2013-14. In 13 events, he missed
the cut six times and four other times
didnt crack the top 50. It would have
been even worse except for that tie for
13th in the Masters.
The last three tournaments changed
everything.
He shot a 69 in the final round of
the Reno-Tahoe Open (eight points in
Stableford scoring) to tie for 16th. He
closed with a 67 at Oak Hill and finished
alone in seventh. And at the Wyndham
Championship, he had a 62 in the final
round to tie for 16th.
Toms didnt make the FedEx Cup.
That 62 moved him up to No. 123 on
the PGA Tour money list, allowing him
full status for next year. Toms turns 47
in January.
LEFTYS SCHEDULE: Phil

Mickelson will have played 24 times
by the end of the year, not including the
Presidents Cup, and hes looking to cut
back.

Pacing the Lady Blue Jays (3-12) were fresh-
man Jessica Geise (9 kills), junior Bekah Fischer
(8 kills), junior Colleen Schulte (16 assists), fresh-
man Maya Gerker (7 assists), sophomore Olivia
Kahny (4 kills) and senior Brittney Claypool (4
aces).
For the Lancers, senior Kelsey Mohr (10
assists, 4 aces, 4 kills), senior Ashley McClure (6
kills, 4 aces), sophomore Ashton Bowersock (8
kills, 3 aces), junior Devann Springer (12 assists,
4 aces) and freshman Katie McClure (4 kills, 2
aces) were the standard-bearers.
Lincolnview led from start to finish in the
opener, though it was close most of the way. The
Jays simply couldnt get on a roll to take momen-
tum away from the Lancers and the visitors had
the finishing kick, taking the set on an ace by
Katie McClure.
The Lancers appeared set to make the second
set their own as well, jumping out to a 6-2 edge
on a kill by Mohr. Just as quickly, the Jays got on
a steam-roll, running off 13 straight points. It was
started by a kill from Fischer, giving the serve to
Claypool. She served the next 12 points, includ-
ing four aces, and the Jays led 15-6 on a kill by
Fischer. Lincolnview slowly began to battle back,
though the Jays still led 22-20 on a kill by Kahny.
The Lancer MO couldnt be stopped and and
they went up by two sets on a hitting miscue on
set point.
In the third set, the Jays slowly built a 7-3
lead on a hitting error in the opening set. Just
as quickly, the visitors retaliated and the set was
close from then on. The Jays last lead was 15-14
on a missed serve by the visitors. A kill off the
back row by Bowersock gave Lincolnview the
serve and a kill by Mohr gave them the lead. That
was all the opening the visitors needed as they
rode the momentum to the sweep, culminated by
a kill off the Blue Jay block by Katie McClure.
We get close like that and then cant finish.
We cant quite complete it, Jays coach Carolyn
Dammeyer said. We had our chances but didnt
play very well on defense overall; that ended up
costing us in the end. Weve been working on our
serve-receive but in the end, that cost us as well.
Lancer coach Heather Crow figured her
teams play was typical of the season.
Were inconsistent. We have our moments
of good play and then kind of let down men-
tally, she added. What we did better tonight
was get more touches on their hits; that allows
our defense to dig things up and we can run our
offense.
St. Johns won in JV action 14-25, 25-19,
25-13.
St. Johns welcomes Parkway in Thursday

Lady Titans net sweep of Ottoville

By Dave Boninsegna
DHI Correspondent
OTTOVILLE The Ottoville Lady Green
volleyball squad dropped a 3-set match to the
Ottawa-Glandorf Lady Titans on Monday night
at L.W Heckman Gymnasium 25-16, 25-21,
25-16.
Nikki Ellerbrock had 14 kills and 11 digs for
the Titans to lead the guests in statistical catego-
ries; Annie Lindeman had 10 kills for the Lady
Green.
The Lady Titans led the entire first set but the
hosts came back in set number two offering the
guests a challenge.
Ottoville took its first lead of the night after a
series of unforced errors by the Titans; Lindeman
sent an unreturnable delivery into the Ottawa
Glandorf side of the court to lift the home team
to a 12-11 advantage.
The squads traded points back and forth for
the next few serves with Nikki Burgei scoring a
point for the hosts to make it a 17-15 Ottoville
lead. Nonetheless, the Titans would claw right
back and take the edge off a Lauren Buddelmeyer
kill.
The final few series would be exhilarating
with another exchange of errors, the last coming
off of the Green that gave the O-G the lead for
good at 22-21. The Titans finished off the final
three points with Olivia Hermiller delivering the
final blow as she did in the first set; sending the
guests into set three up two sets to none.
In set number three, the Lady Green came out
strong and took control early; Kara Schimmoeller
gave the hosts a 3-2 advantage with a shot to the
Titans side of the net, but after Anna Bellman
tied the set at 6-6, the Lady Green got back into
a series of mental errors again; giving the Lady
Titans a swing in momentum.
The psychological miscues were contagious
as the Titans gave up a few of their own, allow-
ing the green and gold right back into the contest.
Ottoville regained the lead at 13-12 and held it
until Bellman put a rocket into the Ottoville end,
making it 18-17 in favour of the guests.
That lead would eventually stand as the Titans
finished off the set on a 7-4 spurt to help finish
off the sweep.

The Orange and Black had
a great chance at 25:28 when
Gable got free for a 1-on-1
chance on the left post; how-
ever, OConner came out to cut
off the angle and knocked the
17-yarder away.
OConner again denied a
nice chance by the visitors:
junior Sarah Chandler had
a 23-yard high shot that the
keeper deflected high and
finally controlled, surviving a
collision in the process. She
was shaken up but stayed in
the match.
The Wildcats freed up soph-
omore Logan Hamilton for a
12-yarder but she was over the
bar at 15:12.
Musketeers kept attacking
and finally broke through at
13:58. Off a corner kick from
the right side, senior Jamie
Saum got possession on the
right side and fired a cross pass
to the middle; the orb hit off
a defender and freshman Erin
Eickholt was there to put in the
4-yard ricochet for a 1-0 edge.
The Lady Cats tried for the
equalizer at 9:22 when Knebel
got loose for a 14-yarder on the
right wing but she just missed
over the bar.
The Lady Musketeers got
an insurance goal at 3:57. On a
corner kick from the left side,
Gable launched a near-perfect
curling orb that snuck under
the bar and found the left side
of the net for a 2-0 edge.
They added the finisher with
just six ticks left. Sophomore
Jordyn Horstman let loose a
16-yarder from just outside
the left post that deflected off
a defender and handcuffed
OConner for the final margin.
It easily could have been
a 1-0 game. Their second goal
couldnt be stopped and the
third goal was a young defender
trying to make a play, Stober
added. Its a learning process
for all of our girls. Kayleigh is
so tough; she takes the hit and
gets back up. We put her back
there for a reason and shes
gaining valuable playing time,
as all our girls are.

Round up
Badgers, Buckeyes each want to overpower the other
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Ohio State coach
Urban Meyer loves the spread offense.
He loves winning with a robust
running game even more.
In that regard, hes far closer to
Woody Hayes than he is to, oh, Chip
Kelly.
We like to pride ourselves on
being balanced, Meyer said Tuesday.
However, (our spread) is very physi-
cal its not the chuck n duck,
basketball-on-grass type of offense at
all. Its a power-oriented run game.
So in other words, when No. 23
Wisconsin comes to Ohio Stadium
on Saturday night to face the fourth-
ranked Buckeyes, both sides want to
throw the ball, but their first prior-
ity is jamming it down the opposing
defenses throat.
Even though most Ohio State fans
think of Meyers spread as a cutting-
edge offense with multiple
receivers, backs getting
the ball out wide, quick
snaps, no huddles and lots
of passes, in many ways
its back to the future for
the Buckeyes.
Make no mistake about
it: The Buckeyes like to
run the ball. And they like
to run it straight at you, if
at all possible.
Wisconsin first-year coach Gary
Andersen, a former Meyer lieuten-
ant who remains a close friend, isnt
misled.
Theyre going to do what they
do. They want to run the ball first, he
said. They want to be very effective
in the play-action run game. Youll
see the football go out sideways to get
you to run, get the defense tired, and
theyll come back at you and start run-
ning the ball and trying to be physical
with you.
Both Ohio State
and Wisconsin are
best when run-
ning. Wisconsin is
third in the nation
in rushing, averag-
ing 350 yards. Ohio
State is sixth at 311.
In the first half
alone of last weeks
76-0 shellacking
of overmatched
Florida A&M, an FCS team, the
Buckeyes passed 34 times. But that
was an anomaly.
Wisconsin would like nothing bet-
ter than for its big guys up front and
in the offensive backfield to decide
the game.
The Buckeyes swear that regard-
less of how people define the spread,
they remain a power team.
It probably is a little bit of a throw-
back, Ohio State center Corey Linsley
said. In terms of our offense, we defi-
nitely run a high-tempo offense. Thats
our whole goal. But the physicality has
never left.
The offense is based on double-
team blocks on the line, he added.
If we cant do that, Linsley said,
well lose the football game.
Thats a product of the coach.
Meyer may be an innovator in the
spread, but he first learned the game as
an Ohio State graduate assistant under
Earle Bruce in the late 1980s. Bruce
loved power backs like Keith Byars,
but his teams actually passed for more
yards than they ran for almost every
year. Thats because he used talented
receivers such as Cris Carter, Doug
Donley, John Frank and Mike Lanese
in the open field.
The head coach sets the tone for
the program, the mentality of the team,
the attitude of the team, said Ohio
State receivers coach Zach Smith (who
also happens to be Bruces grandson).
Its no more evident than what weve
done up to date here, just the inten-
sity that we play with and the physical
demeanor; that is who our head coach
is, and thats why we play that way.
So Meyer will revert to his old
self and try to power the ball against
a Wisconsin team that will attempt to
do the same behind a former acolyte
of Meyers.
The Buckeyes are happy to be a
part of it.
Its a more fun week of preparation
in regard to its more physical, Linsley
said. Were pounding the ball. When
we go 1s against the 2s in practice,
its going to be run-blocking. Were
not going to sit back there and pass it.
Were going to work on our run game.
THE BROTHERHOOD:
Wisconsins first-year coach, Gary
Andersen, is one of Meyers clos-
est friends in the coaching fraternity.
Andersen served on Meyers 2004
staff at Utah and their team went
12-0.

DEAR BRUCE: Due to
health issues and associated
expenses, I have lost my means
of income and had to file bank-
ruptcy, which has included my
home. I am still in the house
awaiting foreclosure, which I am
told can take some time, depend-
ing on the bank.
My attorney for the bank-
ruptcy advised that I continue
to pay insurance on the home
as long as I am occupying it.
If I am no longer making pay-
ments on the house, do I still
have an insurable interest in
the home? Would it be more
appropriate to obtain coverage
just for my belongings, such as
renters insurance, or is that even
a possibility in a home that is not
technically being rented?
I dont object to paying the
insurance, but I am not sure that
I would even be appropriately
covering the asset of the home
or my belongings. -- M.C., via
email
DEAR M.C.: You bring up
an interesting point: Do you have
an insurable interest? I dont
know the answer to that.
Technically, the home is still
in your name. I dont know how
you can qualify for renters insur-
ance since you are not a tenant
at this point. The fact is, the only
question youre concerned about
is the building; youre clearly
interested in covering the con-
tents, and that has nothing to do
with the fact that the home is
being foreclosed upon.
You might wish to get an
opinion from a qualified insur-
ance agent or another attorney.
Given the fact that this is a rela-
tively short proposition, I would
continue to carry the regular
insurance on the house, and more
important, on your own property,
and of course, liability insurance.
DEAR BRUCE: I owned a
small retail gift store for 28 years.
When I closed my business, I
entered into an agreement with
a neighboring florist/gift store
to purchase the balance of my
inventory at 10 percent to 15 per-
cent off wholesale. Displays and
fixtures were free with purchase
of the merchandise.
The purchaser and his partner
had the opportunity to inspect
the merchandise and both signed
the purchase agreement, which
included a deposit and 12 equal
monthly payments. The deposit
was paid, followed by only four
monthly payments.
On the one-year anniversary
date of the sale, I contacted an
attorney to determine my options
to receive the $8,000 balance. A
judgment was entered, but it is
my understanding that the judg-
ment would only be viewed if the
florist/gift store owner(s) applied
for a loan or additional credit.
Do you have any additional
ideas as to how I might approach
this debt? -- M.F., Belleville, Ill.
DEAR M.F.: I dont see a
real problem here. If you go for
a judgment against them, I dont
see any reason why you cant
move against the individuals for
whatever they are drawing in
terms of a salary, etc. You should
be able to attach it.
If you squeeze them hard
enough, it may very well be that
you can come back and say,
Look, I will take $7,000 cash,
but I dont see why there is some
restriction making the judgment
applicable only if they apply for
a loan or additional credit. If you
get a specific judgment against
them you can go for an attach-
ment to their salaries or whatever
else they own.
DEAR BRUCE: My hus-
band co-signed for an automobile
for his brother, who swore that he
would keep up with the pay-
ments. He did make one payment
and is now somewhere across the
country with the car. Now the
bank is telling my husband that
he has to pay. How can he get out
of this? -- R.J., via email
DEAR R.J.: I dont know
how you get out from under
this mess. Your husband was
accepted as co-signer because his
credit was good and his brother
was not credit worthy. Since the
brother skipped, why should the
lender look any further than your
husband?
Unfortunately, he is stuck. I
dont see any way to reduce the
obligation. As a consequence, he
should learn from the experience.
DEAR BRUCE:
Occasionally, we find it neces-
sary to rent a car. Every time,
we wonder if we should sign up
for the insurance offered by the
agency, which we usually waive.
We are a bit nervous because I
keep hearing nightmarish tales
about someone having a wreck
and it costing them a ton of
money. What are your thoughts?
-- Reader in Michigan
DEAR READER: There is
much insurance coverage that
offers extras that are not worth
considering, but some plug up
gaps, if gaps exist. For example,
do you own a regular car? If you
do, and the insurance you have
extends to any other car you
operate and is sufficient, then you
dont need the extra insurance.
Lets assume you dont have
another car. Then by all means
you need the extra insurance
since the rental company will
carry only the minimum on you.
It has extra insurance to cover
itself, but generally, only the min-
imum is on you.

House due for foreclosure
still needs insurance
Lots of articles and even
some medical professionals
have touted vitamin D as
the answer to all kinds of
health problems and deemed
most of us deficient, notes
ShopSmart, the shopping
magazine from the publish-
er of Consumer Reports. So
taking supplements seems
like a no-brainer.
Problem is, many of
those claims are overblown
-- and some calcium-vita-
min D supplements exceed
a California lead limit. A
November 2010 report by
the Institute of Medicine
(IOM), which examined
more than 1,000 studies and
other reports, concluded
that although vitamin D is
essential to bone health, evi-
dence of other benefits was
inconclusive.
And what about the defi-
ciency epidemic? One
explanation is that it blos-
somed almost overnight
when many testing labora-
tories in this country upped
the threshold for whats con-
sidered a normal blood level
of vitamin D. Currently,
nearly 80 percent of people
are labeled deficient.
So when it comes to sup-
plements, what makes sense
for you? With the help of its
medical experts, ShopSmart
waded through the hype to
answer four top questions
about vitamin D.
-- Do I need more D?
It depends. Its a good
idea if you dont get at least
some midday sun exposure
during the warmer months
(the body makes D from
exposure to sunlight) or
regularly consume vitamin
D-rich foods such as fatty
fish, eggs and fortified milk
or soy products. In those
cases, a vitamin D supple-
ment might help.
Supplements are also
recommended for people
with osteoporosis (weak
bones) or who have a con-
dition, such as celiac dis-
ease or Crohns disease,
that impairs their ability to
absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
Being middle-aged or
older, dark-skinned or over-
weight can slightly increase
your risk of deficiency
and might tip the balance
in favor of taking supple-
ments, particularly if your
diet or lifestyle is likely to
be D-ficient.
If you take this supple-
ment, theres no reason to
exceed the recommended
intake of 600 International
Unit (IU) daily for adults up
to age 70; 800 IU for those
who are older. But try to
avoid exceeding 4,000 IU
daily unless your doctor has
prescribed a higher dose to
make up for a deficiency. At
very high levels, too much
D can cause kidney damage.
The symptoms of toxicity
include nausea, vomiting,
poor appetite, constipation,
weakness, weight loss and
confusion.
-- Should I get tested?
Not unless you are at risk
for deficiency. If you do
get tested, ShopSmart says
to keep in mind that vita-
min D levels fluctuate with
your exposure to sunlight
and diet and that results
can differ from one labora-
tory to another. If results
are abnormal or unexpect-
ed, you should be retested.
Results are more likely to
be accurate if you use labs
that perform high volumes
of testing -- say, more than
50 vitamin D tests a day.
Although in some labs
healthy blood levels of vita-
min D are considered to be
at least 30 nanograms per
milliliter (ng/ml), the IOM
says that levels of at least
20 ng/ml are fine to ensure
healthy bones. If your lev-
els are well below 20, your
doctor will probably recom-
mend a high dose of D for
several months followed by
a regular supplement there-
after.
-- Does it matter what
form of the supplement I
take?
No, not really. The D3
form (cholecalciferol) has
a reputation for being more
potent than D2 (ergocalcif-
erol), but research suggests
thats the case only at high
doses. At recommended
doses, they work equally
well, experts say.
-- Do I need to take cal-
cium with my vitamin D?
Yes, unless you meet
your recommended calcium
intake through your diet.
Thats 1,200 milligrams dai-
ly for women older than 50
and men older than 70 and
1,000 milligrams for other
adults. In most of the clini-
cal trials linking vitamin D
supplementation to denser
bones or fewer fractures,
the nutrient was combined
with calcium. The few stud-
ies that examined vitamin D
alone did not find the same
benefits.

Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio
wins Excellence in Service Award
BLUFFTON Mennonite Home
Communities of Ohio (MHCO),
Bluffton, was selected as the win-
ner of the Excellence in Service
(Best Practices) award, presented
at a luncheon on Sept. 12 during
the LeadingAge Ohio annual con-
ference in Columbus, according to
Laura Voth, chief executive officer of
MHCO.
Each year, LeadingAge Ohio
invites nominations for various
awards, which are formally presented
at the annual fall conference.
MHCO received the award for being
innovative and visionary in the quest to
bring the first Green House homes to
Ohio. MHCOs journey toward Green
House homes began in 2004 when four
leaders visited the first Green House
homes in Tupelo, Miss.
The minute they walked in the
door, the team knew the philosophy
matched the mission and vision of
MHCO, and this was something we
must do in Bluffton, said Voth.
She continued: While bringing the
vision to reality meant tremendous
work, a large investment of resources
and rethinking staffing models, the
stories coming from Willow Ridge
have affirmed our commitment to
the Green House model. Elders at
Willow Ridge, their family members
and friends have been very apprecia-
tive of this commitment.
Voth said: The supporting docu-
mentation we sent with the award
application consisted of 11 stories
that have been shared by staff, elders
and elders family members who are
experiencing Willow Ridge.
These stories demonstrated
improved quality of life and enhanced
resident and family satisfaction.
These improvements were made pos-
sible by the commitment of staff and
the physical environment of Betty
House and Frieda House.
LeadingAge Ohio promotes and
fosters the best practices that make
the lives of elders meaningful, enjoy-
able and safe. By taking the lead in
Ohio, MHCO has the opportunity to
encourage other nursing homes to
consider the Green House model.
It is a privilege to have been
selected for this award. It would not
have been possible without the hard
work and commitment of staff, board
members, churches, donors, and the
broader community, said Voth.
Awarded to an organization dis-
playing outstanding initiative, moti-
vation and leadership in providing
quality services in various service
lines, including licensed nursing care.
Award Criteria: Applicants must be
a LeadingAge Ohio member in good
standing and demonstrate one or more
of the following:
- A practice that enhances resident
satisfaction;
- A practice or activity demonstrat-
ing significantly improved access to
services that enhance resident quality
of life;
- A practice or activity that demon-
strates measurably improved quality
of care and/or quality of life;
- A practice or activity unique to
the organization that is worthy of
duplication in other organizations;
- Demonstration of visionary inno-
vation impacting the organization or
senior services filed through practices
and findings creating shared learning
opportunities.

120 million shares of GM pre-
ferred stock from a U.S. trust
that provides health care to
retired members of the United
Auto Workers union. The low-
er-interest bonds will replace a
9 percent annual dividend on
the stock.
Its buying the U.S. trusts
shares for $27 each, a $2 pre-
mium. After the sale closes,
the U.S. trust still will hold
140 million preferred shares,
which GM can buy back for
$25 each at the end of next
year
GM also will use $1.2 bil-
lion from the new bonds to pay
off 7 percent notes, retiring the
debt now held by a trust con-
trolled by the Canadian Auto
Workers union, now called
Unifor.
GM said in a statement that
the debt moves should add 11
cents per share to the com-
panys earnings next year.
One-third of the new bonds
pay a 3.5 percent interest rate,
while another third are at
4.875 percent. The final third
has a 6.25 percent rate. The
notes mature in five, 10 and 30
years. The company expects to
settle the bond sale on Friday,
and will record an $800 mil-
lion charge for the bonds in its
third-quarter financial results.

Answer to Puzzle
DEAR DOCTOR K:
My father just had a lacunar
stroke. Ive never even heard
of this. What can you tell me
about it?
DEAR READER: The
most common kind of
strokes, called ischemic (iss-
KEE-mick) strokes, occur
when an artery supplying
oxygen-rich blood to a part
of the brain is blocked. This
leads to the death of some
brain cells. Many strokes are
caused by blockages of the
largest arteries in the brain.
A lacunar stroke involves
smaller arteries deep in the
brain that branch off the large
arteries. Because the arteries
are smaller, the amount of
brain tissue they feed is
smaller than the amount fed
by the large arteries. Still,
lacunar strokes can cause
significant disability. (Ive
put an illustration of the
areas of the brain affected
by lacunar stroke on my
website, AskDoctorK.com.)
The smaller arteries deep
in the brain are vulnerable
because they branch directly
off of a high-pressure main
artery. As a result, high blood
pressure can directly damage
the walls of these arteries.
High blood pressure also can
damage the walls of larger
arteries and help stimulate
the growth of plaques of
atherosclerosis, which can
block blood flow.
The symptoms of lacunar
stroke vary depending on
the part of the brain that is
deprived of its blood supply.
Symptoms may affect the
ability to feel things, to move,
to see, to speak, and ones
balance and coordination. If
a person has multiple lacunar
strokes, this can affect
emotional behavior and lead
to dementia.
Full recovery is possible
with early treatment. Ideally,
doctors would be able to
administer a clot-dissolving
medication within three
hours after symptoms start.
If blood supply is interrupted
for longer, there may be more
brain damage. In this case,
symptoms may last for many
weeks or months, requiring
physical rehabilitation.
There may be permanent
disability.
The first person I ever
cared for after a lacunar
stroke just noticed that his
writing hand was suddenly
clumsy. Fortunately, there
were no other symptoms,
and the clumsiness gradually
improved with physical
therapy.
What probably happens
when people recover from
the symptoms of a stroke is
that some new brain cells
grow to take the places of
some of the cells that were
killed. We used to think that
this couldnt happen, but
now research has showed us
that it can. Probably more
important, other brain cells
that are sitting around with
not enough to do learn to
take on the jobs of the brain
cells that were killed by the
stroke.
Your father must control
his risk factors to prevent
another stroke. He will
probably need to take a
daily aspirin or other blood-
thinning medication. He
should control his blood
pressure and heart disease
with lifestyle changes and
medication. Exercising
regularly, eating plenty of
fruits and vegetables, and
avoiding saturated fats and
cholesterol will help. If he
smokes, he should quit. If
he has diabetes, he should
control his blood sugar.

physician and professor at
Harvard Medical School.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Annies Mailbox
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2013
Take it upon yourself to venture
down a path that can lead to a brighter
future in the year ahead. Allow your
talent to speak for you, and base your
choices on what you enjoy doing
most. Follow your heart and express
your desires.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If
you take on additional responsibilities,
you will come through with flying
colors. Accept the inevitable. Let go of
the past; it's time for new beginnings.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Share your thoughts with the people
who count. Get involved in something
that will bring you a greater awareness
of your community and your beliefs.
The aspects indicate romance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Seek out the kind of
entertainment that gives you a thrill
or gets you thinking about a new
adventure to pursue. If you make
alterations to the way you live, you'll
see an improvement in your work life
as well.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Judge quietly what is going
on around you. Step in and make
whatever slight changes are necessary
to prevent an error. Avoid a conflict
that has the potential to stifle your
productivity.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- When it comes to a business or
partnership situation, negotiate a deal
you can live with. Nothing is perfect,
but at least you'll get a fair deal if you
act diligently.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Your home is your castle, and the
more you put into your place and your
family, the more you will get back.
Make changes that please everyone.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
You'll have to be innovative in the way
you respond to others if you want to
get things accomplished. Diplomacy
and willingness to compromise will
help you reach your objective.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Take note of what others do, and you'll
discover how to avoid a mistake that
could lead to injury or insult. Focus on
love, not anger and sorrow.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Take on extra work if it can help you
show your expertise and superiority.
Display your knowledge and push for
a change that will make your world a
better place.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Look at the big picture and diversify
as much as possible to get the most
out of your assets. Networking
will pay off personally as well as
professionally.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Ask
first when it comes to a big decision
at work. If you don't, you will run
into opposition that may leave you
stranded just when you want to leap
into action. Clear all obstacles to
proceed.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Helping others will be gratifying and
valuable down the line. You should
go out of your way to help others,
because you'll need to call in some
favors eventually. Good fortune
looms.

Marriage is dead;
leave the corpse
Dear Annie: I have
been married for 15 years.
My husband and I still live
under the same roof (for
convenience), but we have
drifted our separate ways. The
problem is, our teenage son
cannot stand to be in the same
room with his father. All they
do is argue, and my husband
pouts like a baby, bottom lip
and all.
I have asked our son to
try to ignore Dad
in order to keep
the peace, but it is
getting worse. This
man, who wanted
to have a child, has
spent little time with
our son over the
years. When I was
working and he had
to watch our son,
he would have his
parents come over,
and then he and
his father would
leave, letting my mother-in-
law babysit. On weekends, he
managed never to be home.
Now that our son is older,
my husband thinks he has a
personal slave to do all the
yard work and dishes and put
his stuff away when he comes
home. Also, he and Grandpa
have no qualms about
pointing out what this kid
does wrong, badgering him
about it and never mentioning
the things he does well.
I have had it. I dont want
my son to grow up to be
like his father. Should I stay
here, or should I take my
son and leave? Fed Up in
Pennsylvania
Dear Fed Up: There is a lot
going on here. You and your
husband obviously no longer
connect, and your son may be
acting out his frustrations with
the situation. Dad has no idea
how to communicate with
his son. Neither you nor your
son is happy with Dad. If the
marriage is dead, please stop
hanging around the corpse.
Your son will benefit from
an emotionally stable home.
Speak with a lawyer before
deciding which of you should
move out. All of you would
benefit from counseling, and
we hope you will consider it.
Dear Annie: Not every
letter is about a problem. I am
the luckiest guy in the world.
I am 60 years old. My wife
is a little younger. We will
celebrate 35 years of marriage
this month, complete with two
children and all the trials and
tribulations of every couple.
We are almost empty nesters.
By my wifes own admission,
menopause was easy. She
is an excellent cook. We eat
good food and get exercise,
and both of us are in decent
shape. Dates are fun, and she
is a great travel partner.
Here is the point
of my letter: My
wife is everything
a man could
want, including
beautiful, sexy
and passionate. I
can barely keep up
with her passion.
I have not done
anything to deserve
this. My character
defects far exceed
hers. Why my wife
seems so perfect
is beyond me, but I am not
complaining. Rather, I am
amazingly thankful. This may
not be Iowa, but it does feel
like heaven. A Lucky and
Appreciative Married Man
Dear Lucky: Thank you so
much for writing and letting
our readers see that some
marriages are wonderful, and
that partners can recognize
and appreciate what they
have. Please show this to your
wife and tell her you wrote it.
(And any other reader who
wants to give that impression
can do so, as well.)
Dear Annie: Sensitive in
the Midwest deplored the
table manners she witnessed.
Heres my advice: Most
executives and CEOs of
successful companies do not
ignore etiquette. They are
unlikely to hire anyone who
cannot show decent manners,
including those who use
vulgar language.
If one wishes to continue
through life in a low-paying
job with no chance of
advancement, by all means,
thumb your nose at etiquette.
Otherwise, parents (and
individuals with aspirations)
should give some thought
to their appearance and
presentation and insist on
etiquette and its use. It shows
respect for yourself and
others. Burwell, Neb.

became the youngest player to
win the Masters Tournament,

Todays joke:
A boy was teaching a girl arithmetic. He said it was his mission.
He kissed her once; he kissed her twice and said, Now thats addition.
In silent satisfaction, she sweetly gave the kisses back and said, Now thats subtrac-
tion.
Then he kissed her, she kissed him, without an explanation. And both together
smiled and said, Thats multiplication. Then her Dad appeared upon the scene and
made a quick decision. He kicked that boy three blocks away and said, Thats long
division!

The Delphos Jefferson foot-
ball team lost its first home game
of the season Friday afternoon by
a score of 24 to 7 to the veteran
Coldwater aggregation. Although
Jefferson was defeated, it was
the general opinion of the fans

good battle against Coldwater, a
veteran team while Jefferson was
playing its second game since
1933.

is such an open-ended con-
tract, he said.
The council decided to
meet with ODOT to fur-
ther their questions and
receive clarification on the
$125,000 grant and what it
entails.
A citizen at the meeting
asked a question as to why
they need a sidewalk along
State Route 309, which
is proposed in the Safe-
Routes project.

there are many who would
use the sidewalk that goes

After being advised of his Miranda rights, Fay
was asked to sign a waiver form. Prior to sign-
ing it, Fay questioned if his mom was present.
Sargent responded that she was not and ques-
tioned Fay if he had talked to her. Fay responded
no and proceeded to state he understood his rights
and signed the written waiver form.
He then proceeded to make a statement. At no
time did he request counsel or ask that question-
ing be terminated.
Fay was then transported from Columbus to
the Putnam County Sheriff Department where
he was re-interviewed on May 10 by Sargent
and Griffith. It was indicated that no additional
Miranda warning was given to the defendant
but the defendant was questioned whether he
still understood his rights and he indicated
yeah.
Fay did not request counsel at the May 10
interrogation nor did he request to remain silent
or that the questioning cease.
Assistant Prosecutor Todd Schroeder has
filed a motion to reconsider the decision.
