DELPHOS Delphos Public
Library Director Kelly Rist
announced library personnel have the
facility ready to become the newest
training site for DigitalWorks, an ini-
tiative of Connected Nation, Inc., the
parent organization of Connect Ohio.
The DigitalWorks training pro-
gram includes five gates: recruitment,
screening, training, placement and
mentoring and focuses on customer
service representatives and computer
programming. Students will complete
144 hours of training at their own
pace with three milestones: 20 hours
of basic computer skills; 20 hours of
English and grammar skills; and 104
hours of customer service skills. It is
funded by federal and state grants as
well as private donations.
Trustees approved the contract
with Connect Ohio in October and
will offer the librarys assembly room
just inside the east doors. The con-
tract also has a 30-day out clause for
both parties.
They will be inside the library
and only here when the library is
open, Rist said. I dont think this
will be a problem for them. They
seemed willing to work with what-
ever we could give them.
Jeff Beebe, a Connect Ohio repre-
sentative, gave a presentation to the
library board of trustees in September
and outlined what the program would
need, including 12-15 work stations,
1,500-2,400 square feet and high-
speed Internet.
Beebe assured the trustees back-
ground checks are done on all partici-
pants and a program facilitator would
be on-hand whenever anyone was in
the building.
We would hire a facilitator for
the program and every applicant is
checked thoroughly, he said. We
want to provide affordable and cus-
tomizable high-skilled training pro-
grams to meet the needs of our cor-
porate partners.
Rist looks for the training site to
be ready by the end of the month.
Sites are already established in
Zanesville, Portsmouth and Logan.
DigitalWorks is looking for a total of
10-12 in Ohio.
Office space located in the original
portion of the library has been refur-
bished to accommodate programming
so the assembly room is free for
DigitalWorks.

Combat veterans Dave Mahlie, Army-retired, Vietnam, left; Harry Liebrecht, Army, World War II; Larry Luersman,

fifth-graders on Veterans Day. (Delphos Herald/Nancy Spencer)
Soldiers share war stories
BY NANCY SPENCER
Herald editor
DELPHOS St. Johns fifth-graders
learned the harsh realities of a soldiers
life on Monday. Five local veterans
spent an hour with three dozen elemen-
tary students sharing their combat expe-
riences.
Harry Liebrecht, Army, World War
II; Larry Luersman, Army, Korea; Mike
Hughes, Army, Vietnam; Dave Mahlie,
Army-retired, Vietnam; and Shannon
Wagner, Marines, Korea told of their
experiences and responsibilities while
stationed abroad.
Liebrecht was drafted in the 1940s
and had several pictures of Nagasaki,
Japan, after the atomic bomb was
dropped in August 1945. An area about
2.3 miles by 1.9 miles was destroyed
but other parts of the city were saved
from the blast. In 1953, a report by the
US Strategic Bombing Survey put the
number of deaths at 35,000, wounded
at 60,000 and 5,000 missing. In 1960,
the Japanese put the number of dead at
Nagasaki at 20,000 and the number of
wounded at 50,000. Later, the Nagasaki
Prefectural Office put the figure for
deaths alone at 87,000 with 70 percent
of the citys industrial zone destroyed.
Liebrecht, who was deployed to
the South Pacific and then stationed in
Japan after the war was over as part of
occupational forces, became emotional
when talking about the bombs destruc-
tion.
Luersman was drafted in November
1951 and nearly missed his deployment
due to his sisters wedding. He spent his
time in Korea driving trucks and jeeps
with ammunition and food for the front-
line soldiers.
I always slept with my shoes on
and changed my socks a lot to prevent
gangrene, Luersman said. I saw those
boys who got gangrene from wet socks
and it wasnt going to be me. It was ter-
rible.
He also talked about the food he ate.
C-rations were good if you were
hungry, he said.
Hughes served from 1968-71.
When I joined the Army, they
trained me in accounting, he said.
What I ended up doing was operating
heavy equipment. You just never know
where youll end up and what you will
be doing.
He also touched on the cuisine the
Army served as he looked at his fellow
veterans.
We had C-rations, too, and I believe
they were the ones Harry and Mike
didnt eat, he said only half jokingly.
Food didnt have expiration dates back
then. You knew if it was bad, though.
Mahlie was in Special Forces and
retired from the Ohio National Guard
out of Lima.
I passed the Special Forces test and
then the training and extended my ser-
vice to go to Vietnam, Mahlie said. I
did reconnaissance.

Herald Editor
DELPHOS Relay
for Life team captains met
Delphos new American
Cancer Society staff partner at
Tuesdays meeting.
Jamie Orzco of Van Wert
will take over for Sarah
Burke, who is being utilized
elsewhere in the organization.
Orozco said she Relays for
a very personal reason.
I have lost both of my
grandmothers to cancer as
well as many other family
and friends, she said. I
have watched them struggle,
suffer and fight and lose.
I want an end to his hor-
rible disease that takes too
many lives. We have all been
affected in some way and
enough is enough. We need
to end this fight.
Orozco will lead the
Delphos group to under-
stand the why behind the
work done at Relays for the
American Cancer Society.
By helping your event
see the big picture and by
sharing the best practices
from around the state, we
can maximize the growth,
potential and quality of your
Relay for Life, she said. I
am thankful for the chance
to make a difference with so
many others.
Production resumes today at Federal Mogul
BY ED GEBERT
Times Bulletin Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT - The strike by United
Steelworkers Local 14742 against Federal-
Mogul Corporation lasted just over 72 hours.
The rank and file voted Wednesday to accept
the offer worked out between the two sides on
Monday. Production was scheduled to resume
with first shift today.
At midnight early Monday, 396 members
of the United Steelworkers walked off the
job after rejecting the last offer from the
company. Picket lines were established in two
spots along West Main Street as negotiations
resumed later in the morning. The two sides
agreed to hammer out agreements on all major
sticking points if possible before ending the
session for the day and managed to do just
that by Monday evening. The ratification vote
was scheduled for Wednesday.
According to the president of the local
Pat Herman, the new deal is for three years
between the company and the union. The
specific voting results of the contract were
not released. Herman stated that he was very
happy to have the strike concluded and union
members back on the job.
Specific concessions were also not named.
Originally, Herman had mentioned wages,
pension, insurance and the use of part-timers
when full-time workers were on layoff.
Federal-Mogul Corporation employs
approximately 460 workers, making it the
second-largest employer in the county, behind
Eaton.
This weeks strike is the first major
labor dispute in Van Wert County since
Kongsberg Manufacturing locked out
workers in 2008 and moved the factory
out of the country in 2009.
Strike lasts just 72 hours

Today is Thursday, Nov. 14, the
318th day of 2013. There are 47
days left in the year.
Todays Highlight in History:
On Nov. 14, 1862, during the
Civil War, President Abraham
Lincoln gave the go-ahead for Maj.
Gen. Ambrose Burnsides plan to
capture the Confederate capital of
Richmond; the resulting Battle of
Fredericksburg proved a disaster for
the Union.
On this date:
In 1851, Herman Melvilles novel
Moby-Dick; Or, The Whale was
first published in the United States.
In 1881, Charles J. Guiteau went
on trial for assassinating President
James A. Garfield. (Guiteau was
convicted and hanged the following
year.)
In 1889, inspired by Jules Verne,
New York World reporter Nellie
Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) set out
to travel around the world in less
than 80 days. (She made the trip
in 72 days.) Jawarharlal Nehru, the
first prime minister of independent
India, was born.
In 1910, Eugene B. Ely became
the first aviator to take off from a
ship as his Curtiss pusher rolled off
a sloping platform on the deck of
the scout cruiser USS Birmingham

RCA Victor.
In 1969, Apollo 12 blasted off for
the moon.
In 1970, a chartered Southern
Airways DC-9 crashed while trying
to land in Huntington, W.Va., kill-
ing all 75 people on board, includ-
ing the Marshall University football
team and its coaching staff.
In 1972, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average closed above the 1,000
level for the first time, ending the
day at 1,003.16.
In 1986, the Securities and
Exchange Commission imposed a
$100 million penalty against inside-

rities industry.
In 1997, a jury in Fairfax, Va.,
decided that Pakistani national
Aimal Khan Kasi should get the
death penalty for gunning down
two CIA employees outside agency
headquarters.
Ten years ago: John Kerry became
the second Democratic hopeful
to opt out of public financing for
his presidential run, following the
example of rival Howard Dean. A
third person died following an out-

One year ago: President Barack
Obama held his first news con-
ference since winning a second
term. He challenged congressional
Republicans to let taxes rise on the
wealthiest Americans, saying that
would ease the threat of another
recession as the nation faced the
fiscal cliff of expiring tax breaks
and across-the-board spending cuts
scheduled to take effect at the start
of 2013. Marine Gen. John Allen
said he would fully cooperate
with an investigation into communi-
cations he had with Florida socialite
Jill Kelley. (The inquiry came after
Kelley complained about emails
sent to her by Paula Broadwell, the
woman whose affair with retired
Army Gen. David Petraeus led to
his resignation as CIA director.)
Israel said it had killed the leader
of Hamas military wing in a wave
of airstrikes it launched in response

Warhol painting
fetches record $105M
at NY auction
NEW YORK (AP) A
prized 1963 Andy Warhol
painting that captures the
immediate aftermath of a car
crash sold for $105 million
Wednesday at a New York
City auction, setting a record
for the famed pop artist,
Sothebys said.
The 8- by 13-foot paint-
ing titled Silver Car Crash
(Double Disaster) depicts a
twisted body sprawled across
a cars mangled interior. It
has only been seen once in
public in the past 26 years.
The buyer wasnt immediately
identified.
The previous Warhol auc-
tion record was set in 2007
when Green Car Crash
(Green Burning Car I) sold

Pertussis booster shots encouraged
Information submitted
COLUMBUS - The Ohio Department of
Health (ODH) is encouraging Ohioans to get
up to date on their pertussis vaccinations fol-
lowing outbreaks in several communities across
the state. ODH monitors outbreaks of pertussis
in Ohio and provides vaccines to local health
departments when immunization clinics are
needed to help control an outbreak.
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is
highly contagious and is one of the most com-
monly occurring vaccine-preventable diseases in
the United States. People with pertussis usually
spread the disease by coughing or sneezing while
in close contact with others, who then breathe in
the pertussis bacteria.
Pertussis is most severe for babies, who often
catch the illness from a family member or other
caregiver. More than half of infants less than 1
year of age who get the disease must be hospi-
talized. In rare cases (one in 100), pertussis can
be deadly, especially in infants less than 1 year
of age.
If your family is going to be welcoming a
new baby or if you are a caregiver to young chil-
dren, it is especially important to get a pertussis
booster shot, said Dr. Ted Wymyslo, Director of
the Ohio Department of Health.
Not only will it lessen your illness if you get
whooping cough, but it can help protect infants
who havent had a chance to get the full series of
vaccinations yet.
There are pertussis vaccines for infants, chil-
dren, preteens, teens and adults. The childhood
vaccine is called DTaP, and the pertussis booster
vaccine for adolescents and adults is called
Tdap. Both provide protection against tetanus,
diphtheria and acellular pertussis.
Who should be vaccinated:
Children The series of immunization starts
at 2 months and continues at 4, 6, 12 months with
a final dose before kindergarten. These shots are
called DTaP.
7th-grade adolescents Starting last year,
the State Of Ohio requires 7th-graders to get a
Tdap booster.
Pregnant women Once during each preg-
nancy.
Adults Once as an adult. The vaccine is
called Tdap and also contains a tetanus shot.
Especially if you are around infants.
During the past 12 months ODH distributed
a total of 462,015 doses of pertussis-containing
vaccine as part of routine childhood immuniza-
tions.
Increases in the number of people infected
with pertussis tend to occur every three to five
years. In 2010, several states, including Ohio,
reported increased cases of pertussis. So far in
2013, Ohio has seen a 20 percent increase in
reported pertussis cases as compared to 2012.
As of Nov. 2, there have been 901 cases reported
in 2013, compared with 742 on the same date in
2012.
Annual Pertussis Cases in Ohio
Year Cases
2007 837
2008 628
2009 1100
2010 1858
2011 690
2012 905
Pertussis symptoms can be different depend-
ing on your age and vaccination history. Pertussis
usually starts with cold-like symptoms, and
maybe a mild cough, but not every runny nose
is pertussis. Pertussis is often not suspected or
diagnosed until a persistent cough with spasms
sets in after one to two weeks.
In infants, the cough may be mild or absent.
However, infants may have a symptom known as
apnea. Apnea is a pause in the childs breath-
ing pattern. Infants and children with pertussis
can cough violently and rapidly, over and over,
until the air is gone from their lungs and theyre
forced to inhale with a loud whooping sound.
This extreme coughing can result in vomiting
and exhaustion. Illness is generally less severe
in adolescents and adults. The coughing fits can
last for 10 weeks or more.
Seeking treatment when pertussis symptoms
first start is important. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) offers this advice
for treatment:
If you or your child is having trouble breath-
ing, seek medical attention immediately.
Tell the doctor if you or your child has been
around others with cough/cold symptoms or if
youve heard that pertussis is in your community.
Antibiotic treatment may make the pertussis
infection less severe if it is started early, before
coughing fits begin.
Antibiotic treatment can help prevent
spreading the disease to close contacts (people
who have spent a lot of time around the infected
person) and is necessary for stopping the spread
of pertussis.
Most people with pertussis no longer spread
the disease after taking antibiotics for five days.
If antibiotics are not taken, infected persons can
spread the disease for at least 21 days.

Wassenberg Art Center to open new facility
VAN WERT The
Wassenberg Art Center will be
officially opening its new facil-
ity located in the newly reno-
vated, former Van Wert Armory
on Sunday with a public open
house running from 15 p.m.
The new address is 214 South
Washington St. in Van Wert. The
building was purchased by the
Van Wert County Foundation
in August of 2012 when it was
then scheduled for demolition.
Regular exhibit hours are 15
p.m. Tuesdays through Sunday.
Coinciding with opening will
be the presentation of a 12-foot
high portal created out of hand-
forged steel by international
sculptor, Michael Bendele of
Delphos.
The art center will also
launch the public opening of
the 24th Annual Artists Exhibit
and Sale, which features works
of regional and national artists
and will be on view through
Dec. 20.
Third, the permanent exhibit,
Faces of Little Bighorn, will be
revealed. Faces of Little Bighorn
features the artwork of the late
David Humphreys Miller, for-
merly of Van Wert, who as a
young teenager became fasci-
nated with the battle and started
interviewing Lakota survivors
of that pivotal American battle.
His lifes work encompass hun-
dreds of painted portraits of the
Lakota Sioux and Plains Indians
and includes murals painted at
the Citadel Military College in
South Carolina, book illustration
and other commissioned work.
In addition, Miller authored two
books titled Custers Fall and
Ghost Dance. Custers Fall
details accounts through direct
interviews of native American
survivors of the battle from their
perspective. Miller consulted
and starred in many famous
Western films with noted stars
such as John Wayne. This exhib-
it consists of several original
paintings, sketches, movie post-
ers and film footage. The Robert
Brent Stevens Family has loaned
the collection to the Wassenberg
Art Center on a long-term basis
and will be a permanent exhibit.
It will be the only exhibit of this
accomplished artist and histo-
rians work in the nation.
If you have any questions
regarding exhibits, classes
or programs or would like to
get involved please call the

Feds: 1,150 Ohioans have enrolled in health plans
COLUMBUS (AP) Federal offi-
cials said Wednesday that just 1,150
Ohio residents successfully picked
health insurance plans last month
through the new online marketplace cre-
ated by President Barack Obamas law.
More than 24,000 Ohio residents
submitted paper or electronic applica-
tions for health coverage for more than
45,000 people, such as themselves, their
spouses and children, the report by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services shows. The report covers
enrollment and application figures from
Oct. 1 through Nov. 2.
Ohio opted to let the federal gov-
ernment run its insurance exchange,
instead of launching its own. The state
is among the 36 states relying on the
problem-plagued federal website, www.
healthcare.gov.
Fewer than 27,000 people managed
to sign up for private health insur-
ance last month in states using the site,
according to the Obama administration
report. States running their own enroll-
ment systems did better, signing up
more than 79,000, for a total enrollment
of more than 106,000.
Ohio trailed of its some neighboring
states, though it was ahead of others.
More than 1,300 people had picked
plans in Michigan, while slightly more
than 2,200 had enrolled in Pennsylvania.
In Indiana, 701 residents chose a health
insurance plan. West Virginia had 174.
A recent analysis from the Kaiser
Family Foundation found that about
544,000 Ohioans will be eligible for tax
credits under the federal health care law
if they purchase coverage through the
new marketplace.
Governor stays
execution of
convicted killer
COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohios governor delayed a
condemned child killers
execution on Wednesday to
study the feasibility of accom-
modating the mans request to
donate his organs.
Gov. John Kasichs decision
came less than 24 hours before
Ronald Phillips was scheduled
to die for the rape and death of
his girlfriends 3-year-old daugh-
ter in Akron in 1993. His lethal
injection today was to be the first
time a new two-drug combina-
tion was tried in the U.S.
In stopping the execu-
tion, Kasich said he wanted
to allow time to study the
request the 40-year-old death
row inmate made Monday to
see if a donation could help
someone else. Phillips execu-
tion was reset to July 2.
Kasich said that while
Phillips crime was heinous, his
willingness to donate organs
and tissue could save another
life and the state should try to
accommodate a donation.
I realize this is a bit of
uncharted territory for Ohio,
but if another life can be saved
by his willingness to donate
his organs and tissues then we
should allow for that to happen,
Kasich said in a statement.

the first general session of the 2013
National Convention highlighted by
motivational speaker Rick Patino.

Change goes on in Wildcat grid program
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The end of a season
in this case, football usually carries
with it the sadness of seniors playing
their final scholastic gridiron games and
others looking forward to either a winter
sports or next season.
For the Jefferson football program,
there is much more to it than that at this
point.
When the Wildcats lost their Region
20 quarterfinal Friday night versus Ada,
that saw the end at least for now of
the varsity football coaching careers of
at least three of its coaches.
The turnover began officially Monday
when the resignations of head coach
Larry Bub Lindeman and assistant
coach/defensive coordinator Ben Rahrig
were officially accepted by the Delphos
City Schools Board of Education.
Wednesday, long-time assistant
coach Jeff Stant joined his confreres as
officially tendering his resignation.
Athletic Director/assistant coach
Chris Sommers re-iterated the stated
reason for the departures Wednesday.
It was a family decision for all of
them. I cant say when for sure but
sometime, they sat down with their
families and decided it was time to step
away and spend more time together once
the season was over, Sommers began.
I have heard all the rumors and such
about this or that when they made
this decision and such but I can only
say what I know they told me about
their decisions.
At this point, he noted that former
head coach and assistant coach Damon
Ulm is also up in the air as to whether
he will remain or resign but nothing
official has been relayed to the AD.
That leaves a somber mood around
the program as this time.
Its disappointing and surprising for
everybody to have this happen now. We
lost a tough playoff game Friday night,
our first playoff game since 2008, and
thats always a disappointing
way to end your season, he
continued. One thing has
to be made clear; all these
coaches were going to be
asked to come back next
year. They have had a lot
of success in their careers,
they have done a great job
as coaches in preparing the
players, the kids like and
respect them and we have a
good program going. The head
coaching position was Bubs
as long as he wanted it. Again, it was a
family decision by all of these men.
There is a lot of time commitment
to have a successful football program
any athletic program. They just felt
they have done this long enough at this
time and they are giving us as much
time as possible to find new coaches.
Unfortunately, according to
Sommers, change is never easy for
anyone.
That is especially true when you
have a bunch of them decide to step
down at the same time. That makes it
even more difficult, he explained.
Lindeman comes off a Northwest
Conference Coach of the Year nod after
his team shared the NWC title with a
9-2 overall record, 6-1 in the league.
Because of the nature of athletics
being an all-year deal, plus with the
OHSAA-mandated no-touch policy
for the next 30 days where the stu-
dent/athletes are off-limits, the process
to find Lindemans replacement has
begun already.
We will post the position inter-
nally. If we get any applica-
tions, we will go through them
and interview the candidates,
Sommers said. If we can-
not find a suitable replacement
from within, we will then post
it publicly.
With that off-limits peri-
od, we do have some time. We
want to do this as quickly as we
can but our whole objective is
to find the right candidate who
fits our program, whether from
within or without.
That being said, it might not be that
easy, either.
Any time you have this happen, it
gives you a chance to assess where you
are as a program and where you need to
go, he added. I believe we are in good
shape as a program and that is because
of the work of all our coaches. We need
to find the right person to be the head
coach, one who not only knows the
game but can put a good staff around
him, whomever that might be. Again,
Id like to think it could happen quickly
but we are looking for the best possible
candidate to fit our program at this
time.
Time is precious
By JIM METCALFE
Sports Editor
The recent resignations of Jefferson head football coach
Larry Bub Lindeman and assistant coaches Ben Rahrig and
Jeff Stant brought a thought and some observations to mind.
I have probably written a thing or two or 1,113 about
this before but this is my column, so there!
Bub coached for five years as the head man and a few more
as an assistant, Jeff coached for a long time and Ben has been
around the block before all deciding it was time to sit out for
a while and spend more time with their children growing up.
I am writing this as generally an outsider to coaching I
only coached the Delphos Raiders briefly as an assistant when
Dr. Jay DeWitt was the head coach in the mid-1990s and as
an observer of the scene; I dont pretend to have any personal
insight but some general observations.
With all the pressures every coach has on him or her: the
practices in season, the off-season work, the camps, clinics,
etc. I can tell you I have talked to more than a few coaches,
especially those not coaching at present, and they all tell you
its the out-of-season stuff that really gets to them because you
have to have it, even though most know their charges need a
break at some point and so do they then throw in family
obligations and job responsibilities and such, it can become a
bit too much.
The point is, I dont think you will ever see in this gen-
eration a coach like a Dick Kortokrax at Kalida, the late Bob
Arnzen at St. Johns, Joe Petrocelli at Kettering Alter, Fran
Guilbeaux at St. Henry and the like; one who stays at a certain
school for decades.
Im not saying those guys didnt have to do anything in the
off-season (theres always been open gyms and some camps)
or that they were not under pressure in those days but with
all the added exposure, all the extra time one has to put in to
have a quality program year after year, plus the fact that kids
do seem to grow up so fast these days I can remember
being reminded that my nieces and nephews were in such
and such a grade and I would ask when did THAT happen? I
thought they were still in grade? (that sentence will make
my family members go screaming into that good night, yelling
I have no idea who he is! I am not related!) I dont think
you will see the old fossils anymore.
Look at the changeover in major-college football and
basketball, for instance. There arent too many Coach Ks
anymore and even he has had his health issues over the years.
How many football coaches last for two decades at a big-
time college program any more, for example?
My guess is that somewhere down the road, Bub and Ben
will be back on the sidelines.
That also tends to happen more as situations change.
This is for all those who think instant replay is the be-
all-and-end-all for sports.
I was going to write about this last week but it slipped my
mind and the guys at the Eagles wont let me forget about it.
I am referring to the so-called safety it should NOT
have been a safety in this universe or ANY universe outside
of Bizarro World (Bizarro is one of Supermans many arch-
nemeses, for those that dont know, and his world is the exact
opposite of the Kryptonians, especially since he is cloned
from the Supes DNA) in the Ohio-Buffalo game last
Tuesday, when Bobcat QB Tyler Tettleton was whistled for a
safety for an intentional grounding call at the 4.
Yes, intentional grounding in the end zone IS a safety
but not at the 4.
Then there was confusion. We all thought they were
reviewing the play and it was announced the call on the field
was upheld (which had us all pulling whats left of our hair
out!), then later it was revealed it was not reviewable because
it was the spot of a penalty.
Huh?
They review EVERY scoring play and last time I checked,
a safety was a scoring play!
The referee, Tom McCabe, at least later hinted he blew the
call when asked about it.
As far as I can tell, there has been no reprimand by the
Mid-American Conference as there was by the Pac-12 in
the Wisconsin at Arizona State fiasco earlier this year.
Hopefully, it was just an honest mistake that he felt he
could not correct then.
I would honestly like to know: how much leeway do the
other officials have in a matter like this? If one say the
umpire or the line judge to the same side has a good look
at it, can he say something?
I believe they did discuss it, so I wonder what they saw,
what they told him and what he heard.
Ultimately, though, the referee is the head guy.

Buckeyes unbeaten again but are they better?
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Two
teams, each 9-0. They play in
the same league. Theyre both
highly ranked.
Which is better?
If youre comparing the
2012 Ohio State Buckeyes
and the current version, coach
Urban Meyer has the answer.
Were a better team, he
answered, referring to his cur-
rent Buckeyes. Were a bet-
ter functioning team.
Meyer is careful to not
insult last years team, which
definitely started from the
lowest rung on the ladder.
Those Buckeyes followed a
dreadful 6-7 season by going
a surprising 12-0.
They posted only the sixth
unblemished season in the
programs 123 years despite
being deprived of the incen-
tive of playing in a bowl
game. That was taken off the
table because of NCAA sanc-
tions stemming from former
coach Jim Tressels failure to
disclose he knew of players
likely taking improper ben-
efits in 2010.
I dont
want to ever
disrespect our
(2012) seniors
because they
were such
an incredible
group of play-
ers, Meyer
said. And they were really
good players, too.
He said the difference is
when Ohio State has the ball.
(Which team is better
is) an interesting conversa-
tion but were just more func-
tional, certainly on offense,
Meyer said. Were much bet-
ter on offense than we were a
year ago.
The numbers support his
position.
Through nine games
and heading into a game
with Illinois, just like the
2012 team was this years
Buckeyes are aver-
aging 100 yards of
total offense and
13 more points per
game.
This years
third-ranked team
averages 531 yards
of total offense per
game, 301 rushing
and 230 passing. Its scoring
48.2 points a contest.
Playing a similar schedule,
the 2012 Buckeyes, ranked
No. 6 through nine games,
were averaging 432 yards of
total offense per game, 248
rushing and 184 passing. That
squad was averaging 38.6
points a game.
Last year there were some
games that teams played us
real heavy in the box because
we couldnt do as much with
our passing game, said start-
ing offensive lineman on
both teams, Jack Mewhort.
But this year its a lot dif-
ferent. Theres not eight or
nine guys in the box because
this offseason Braxton and
the receivers and the running
backs and all the skill guys
got together and decided they
were going to be really good
this year. Theyve done that
so far.
As a sophomore, quarter-
back Braxton Miller was also
the teams best rusher. So
picking up first downs
not scoring quickly was a
priority.
Through nine games, he
was completing 56.6 percent
of his passes for 12 touch-
downs with six interceptions.
Bengals look for turnaround against Browns defense
By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI Sixty minutes, 266
yards, 64 plays, zero touchdowns. Those
numbers stung the Bengals for a long time.
They went to Cleveland for the fourth
game of the season and failed to get into
the end zone during a 17-6 loss that left
them embarrassed. An offense with so many
options couldnt even cross the goal line one
time.
So much went wrong. So much has
changed.
The Bengals (6-4) went on one of the best
offensive surges in club history after that
game, pulling away in the AFC North. Lately,
theyve dropped two in a row in overtime on
the road, giving Cleveland (4-5) a chance to
elbow its way back into the race on Sunday at
Paul Brown Stadium.
Theres more to it, though. That first game
on Sept. 29 is still a sticking point.
I dont care what player you are in
this league, youve been humbled at some
point, left tackle Andrew Whitworth said on
Wednesday. And sometimes it takes a week
that humbles you a little bit to get the best
out of you.
So they caught us and it was a good day
for them and we get another chance. Round
two is coming up.
The first time the Bengals faced their intra-
state rival, they had an over-
riding issue. With rookie tight
end Tyler Eifert and rookie
running back Giovani Bernard
blending into the passing
game, Cincinnati was still try-
ing to figure how all the pieces
fit on offense.
The no-touchdown loss in
Cleveland prompted offensive
coordinator Jay Gruden to dub the offense a
jack of all trades and master of none. Looking
for that identity, the Bengals committed them-
selves to running the ball the following week
and beat New England.
Andy Dalton then went on the best 3-game
stretch of his career, throwing 11 touchdown
passes in wins over Buffalo, Detroit and the
Jets. The offense had come together.
In the last two weeks, its reverted to a
pass-dominated approach thats come up just
short.
Dalton threw 53 and 51 passes in over-
time losses at Miami and Baltimore. He
was sacked 10 times in the two games and
threw three interceptions in each game.
The Bengals managed only three points
in the first half at Miami and
were shut out in the first half
at Baltimore, forcing them to
throw in order to pull off sec-
ond-half comebacks.
Part of the reason were
down is because of the turn-
overs, Gruden said. Were
putting ourselves into a hole
with the turnovers. Were put-
ting ourselves in little holes and then they
turn into big holes because were pressing.
A lot of it is on Dalton, whose intercep-
tions have been too much to overcome. Its
the first time in his career that hes thrown
six interceptions in two games.
Ive got to do a better job of not turning
the ball over, and thats what it comes down
to, Dalton said. Youve got to understand
when you can take your chances and when
you cant. Thats something Ive got to do a
better job of.
The Browns put cornerback Joe Haden on
A.J. Green and Dalton tried to take advan-
tage of the 1-on-1 coverage. Fifteen of his 42
passes went toward Green, who managed to
come down only seven of them for 51 yards.
Green got frustrated and showed it in
his body language. Afterward, he called it
a mistake and has gone back to keeping his
emotions in check. Hell get a second chance
to get the best of Haden, who gave him few
openings in Cleveland.
It wasnt my best game, Green added
on Wednesday. A lot of out-of-character
stuff. I cant get frustrated like that ever.
Notes: TE Jermaine Gresham, who sat
out the loss at Baltimore with a groin injury,
practiced fully on Wednesday, an indication
hell be available for the Cleveland game.
LB Vontaze Burfict (knee), S Chris
Crocker (hamstring), C Kyle Cook (shoul-
der), LB Rey Maualuga (knee), DT Devon
Still (elbow), DT Brandon Thompson
(ankle) and guard Kevin Zeitler (foot) were
held out of practice. LB Mike Boley (ham-
string) and CB Terence Newman (ankle)
were limited.
Browns reveal proposal to upgrade stadium
By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND Theyve boost-
ed their reputation and improved their
record.
Now the Browns want to upgrade
their stadium.
Days away from playing their big-
gest game in years, the NFL team
unveiled plans Wednesday to modernize
FirstEnergy Stadium with a 2-year, $120
million renovation project.
Browns CEO Joe Banner said the
club will present its proposal, which
includes the installation of new, high-
definition video scoreboards, escala-
tors and a reduction of 3,000 seats, to
the citys planning commission today.
The Browns will also meet with Mayor
Frank Jackson and city officials about
approval and funding for the project.
Banner wouldnt reveal who would
be paying for the endeavor but promised
the Browns will make a significant
investment. The NFL recently approved
a $62.5 million loan to the team to be
used toward stadium improvements and
Banner said all of that money will be
applied toward the plan.
Its apparent the Browns will ask the
city for some money but
its not known how much.
We have to do this
together, Banner said.
Obviously, the planning
commission and a num-
ber of agencies in the city
would have to be in line
and approving this project for it to
happen economics aside,and obviously
economics arent an aside, so there is
nothing that can happen to the stadium
without the city feeling positive.
The Browns unveiled plans for the
stadium makeover to take place
over the next two offseasons at a
splashy news conference attended by
some season-ticket holders and fans.
With Banner, owner Jimmy Haslam and
president Alec Scheiner sitting on stage,
video highlights of this seasons first
nine weeks were shown before render-
ings of the revamped stadium were pre-
sented to the audience.
Banner said there are no plans to put
a dome or roof on the stadium because
it would require a 9-figure
investment. Also, the Browns
will continue to play on a
grass field rather than switch
to a synthetic surface.
Banner explained the
Browns had internal discus-
sions about building a new
stadium but opted to make enhance-
ments and improvement to the 15-year-
old facility, which was built with taxpay-
er money when Cleveland was awarded
an expansion franchise in 1998.
Although the seating capacity will
drop from 71,000 to 68,000, the lower
bowl will be reconfigured with more
seats, giving fans better sightlines of
the field. The exterior will also receive
a face lift, escalators will be added to
aid fan movement between levels and
concessions will be improved.

NFL Individual Leaders
NFL Glance Mathias inks LOT to play for Painter at Purdue
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
ELIDA Veteran Elida boys bas-
ketball mentor Denny Thompson wish-
es this would become a trend: once
of his players signing at a Division I
program.
Reggie McAdams did it two years
ago, signing a letter-of-intent to play
at Akron.
Wednesday, it was 6-5 senior guard
Dakota Mathias.
He went one step bigger in the peck-
ing order of major-college basketball:
the Big Ten and Purdue head coach
Matt Painter in West Lafayette, Ind.
I picked Purdue because I really
felt comfortable from the start. When I
paid my official visit, I just knew this
would be it; I verballed in May but I
knew where I was going to play college
basketball then, Mathias explained.
I just had to wait until the early-sign-
ing period. The coaches, the players,
everything just seemed like the right
fit for what I want. Ive been around
coaches and basketball my whole life.
Im glad I could get this decision
out of the way early. I can just focus on
my senior year. I have asked Purdues
coaches for things like different weight
programs and such but they basically
have told me to focus on my senior
year here and worry about them after
the season.
He also had visits to Boston College,
Butler, Dayton and West Virginia,
learning a surprising truth about famed
Mountaineer head man Bob Huggins
He is completely different and a
lot funnier than his reputation but
settled on the Boilermakers because of
that simple comfort level.
The decision is the continuation of a
lifelong dream.
Ever since I can remember play-
ing, probably from 3 or 4 years old, I
wanted to play basketball. I had two
older brothers Bo and Dustin that
played and we had the gymnasium put
in sometime along the way, he contin-
ued. They were pretty good players in
their own right. I just loved to play. I
am always working on something. I got
a lot stronger this off-season I spent
a lot of time in the weight room and
grew a couple of inches. I improved my
ball-handling, quickness, everything.
The chance to play college ball is just
more motivation to keep working and
getting better.
I think playing AAU summer ball
for Northwest Ohio Rob Welchs
club really was beneficial for me.
You find out your strengths and espe-
cially weaknesses really early. I have
worked out with Aaron Craft of Ohio
State; he has given me tips on what to
expect, how to prepare and take care
of my body. Also, having Reggie a
couple of years ago going against
him every day in practice really
helped as well. Plus, I had his example
of what the process was all about two
years ago, what to look for and expect.
Let no one forget that he still has a
senior year to play before the Bulldog
faithful in the Fieldhouse.
He would like to take it a step fur-
ther this year that the team did in 2011-
12 when they were Division II State
runners-up.
As far as this year at Elida, a state
championship has been a goal of mine
as well. We have four starters back and
have higher expectations because of
that experience, Mathias added.
As far as Thompson, he can look
back to the early years of his seniors
years as an omen of things to come.
He also played a year up, so he
was on the same team as my son, Aric.
I knew in the fourth grade I had a spe-
cial player; how special would have to
wait, Thompson explained. I have
watched him develop since then and
he is everything I thought he could be.
For me, he had a breakout game
against Dayton Dunbar in that title
game two years ago. When you look
at the talent he went up against that
night and played an outstanding game,
I knew then he was going to have a
great career.
So good, in fact, that Thompson
figures Mathias could help the
Boilermakers this year with his offen-
sive skill set.
When I went with him on his
official visit, I watched them practice
and saw maybe one guy that had a
pure stroke. I think he could help their
offense right now with his scoring abil-
ity and ability to shoot, Thompson
added. He had such a great year last
year and faced all kinds of defenses;
he still had a great year. However, I
could see him not having the same stats
because of the other guys around him
being better. We have three other start-
ers back and they are all improved.
Union sets up group to help former players
Associated Press
The NFL players union has set up an organization to aid for-
mer players, establishing it out of a $22 million fund from the
collective bargaining agreement with the league.
Called The Trust, the group will assist players in areas such
as brain and body evaluations; health and nutrition; physical fit-
ness; career transition; and financial education. All of these ser-
vices will be provided with no out-of-pocket costs to the player.
Any player who had two or more accredited seasons in the
league is eligible. Program managers to assist each player,
working to create a specific plan to achieve his goals, will be
available.
I think it is going to change lives, Bahati
Van Pelt, executive director of The Trust, said
Wednesday. I know that is a grand statement. I
have seen the good and the bad and what happens
when players transition out of football. I have seen
families and players who have struggled or who
have been successful. I know what we have avail-
able is what players need.
The group will use social media to get out the
word to former players, and has four program man-
agers who, in essence, will be their case managers.
Two of them are former players, Hannibal Navies
and Zamir Cobb. Each retiree who reaches out to
the organization will be assigned a program manager to find out
his needs and information and walk him step by step through the
process of getting help.
Theres even a person assigned to handling travel arrange-
ments, if needed, for the retirees to get health care.
Van Pelt said the phones lines already have been active.
We are not going to sit here and wait for the phones to ring,
he explained. We will find ways to engage.
Van Pelt wants the message to be clear that not all players
retire from pro football and then cant find their way in the
world.
There is a misconception all players struggle once they
leave the game, he added. We want to make sure we tell the
stories of players who transitioned successfully, or those who
did have trouble transitioning and then turned that into a suc-
cessful career.
The Trust also has partnered with the University of North
Carolina, Tulane University and the Cleveland Clinic to pro-
vide brain and body assessments for former players. A players
spouse can accompany him for free.
One of the things we have charged ourselves with is being
flexible, Van Pelt said. If there is a need were not meeting,
we can address that. If we are not doing something correctly, we
make sure we fix it.
The NFL also has programs for retired players under the
guidance of former Pro Bowl defensive back Troy Vincent.
This initiative supplements the many programs we have
developed in recent years to serve the needs of retired players,
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. Supporting our former play-
ers is a shared responsibility that we continue to emphasize as
a league priority.
The Trust provides an additional suite of services for former
players, another option for them to turn to. And it creates a spe-
cialized set of services for retirees that has funding guaranteed
through 2021, with a 5 percent escalation per year.
Money is designated for such funding before the salary cap
is determined each season.
Van Pelt has worked with Vincent and also
worked for the Jaguars and Falcons.
Dolphins case puts GM, coaching jobs in jeop-
ardy
DAVIE, Fla. Last month, Richie Incognito
said severe repercussions would be warranted if
the Miami Dolphins kept allowing sacks at such an
alarming rate.
Everybody should be fired, he said.
Nobody in Miami is talking about sacks anymore.
Firings remain a distinct possibility for very different
reasons.
The Dolphins harassment scandal is threatening
the season and job security, leaving the future of coach Joe
Philbin, his assistants and general manager Jeff Ireland in doubt.
Tackle Jonathan Martin alleges he was harassed daily by
teammates, including Incognito, who has been suspended.
While Martin is scheduled to meet with an NFL special investi-
gator late this week, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has formed
two committees to study the teams locker room culture.
Changes need to be made, Ross announced at a news con-
ference Monday. We need to examine everything internally.
Someone in the organization will likely be designated the
primary culprit for the scandal, and Irelands the early front-
runner. Ross said he had total, utmost confidence in Philbin
but barely mentioned Ireland, who didnt attend the news con-
ference.
Philbin, who is 11-14 since joining the Dolphins last year,
said he appreciated Ross vote of confidence.
The only way you succeed if there is support within the
whole entire organization, the coach said. It starts at the top.
The findings of the NFL investigator could sway Ross
opinion, as could the final seven games and dwindling fan sup-
port. The Dolphins (4-5) have slumped after a 3-0 start, and
on Monday they became the first team to lose to Tampa Bay.
Another half-empty stadium is likely Sunday when they play
host to San Diego.

Answer to Puzzle
When my old
friend Rob calls
us from New York
City, he always asks,
"But what do you
do out there?" As if
everyone who doesn't
live in Manhattan
lives on a farm in
the middle of flyover
country where you
have to pump your
water by hand and use
an outhouse. Living
in a small town
would be his worst
nightmare, because
what he really means
by "What do you do
out there?" is "Where
do you shop?"
" D o i n g
something," to me,
means mowing the
lawn, raking the
leaves, stacking
the wood, tending
the garden, fixing
the house, cleaning
the gutters, getting
the storm windows
ready, jawing with
the neighbors about
how strange the
weather has been. To
Rob it means buying
things.
While Rob has
tens of thousands
more neighbors than
I do, he doesn't know
any of them and you
wouldn't need your
toes to count his
friends. He lives in a
tiny, wildly expensive
apartment in an
elevator building
with a doorman.
His cleaning person
comes in every
Tuesday. His only
household chore
is writing a check
for the rent once a
month. When he's
not working, he's
shopping. His closets
are full of expensive
suits and ties from
fancy haberdashers.
He would be appalled
by the 10-year-old
dark suit from J.C.
Penney that I wear
to weddings and
funerals. Everything
else I own comes
from what Sue calls
"The Gutter Cleaning
Collection."
"What is there to
do?" I answer him.
"Plenty. We go into
town and watch them
put the mail in the
boxes. 'Course we'd
have to get there
before 10. What
time do you get up
nowadays? Around
noon? They're having
a sale on sump
pumps down at the
Feed and Seed, and
we don't want to miss
that. Doug's having
his septic system
pumped on Saturday.
That'll be something
to see. Then we all
stand around and
wait for the lastest
news from New York
on the noon stage."
I could almost hear
him roll his eyes.
"Well, what did
you do last night?" I
asked him.
"Stayed home and
watched TV."
"And like 85
percent of America,
so did we," I said.
"The other 15 percent
were on Facebook.
You want to know
the difference
between watching
TV at our house and
watching TV in your
apartment?"
"What?"
" T h i r t y - f i v e
hundred dollars a
month, plus utilities.
If you were going to
Broadway musicals
every night, and
eating at the hottest
restaurants and then
nightclubbing with
B-list celebrities, I
could see living in
Manhattan. But if
you're staying home
most nights watching
TV, you could do
that anywhere. Sure,
you make Manhattan
money, but you'll
spend more than you
make.
"On my way to
work in Manhattan,"
I continued, "I would
walk past shops
that sold $10,000
watches, shops that
sold $600 shoes,
shops that sold
$20,000 dresses.
What do we do out
here? I don't know,
but I sure don't need
a $600 pair of shoes
to do it in."
"Don't you miss
anything about the
city?" Rob asked.
"Plenty. I miss
the smell of slightly
rotten garbage
in the morning, I
miss the sound of
jackhammers, I miss
al t er nat e- si de- of -
the-street parking,
I miss gum-paved
sidewalks, I miss
panhandlers, I miss
dog walkers, I miss
spending 20 minutes
trying to get a taxi in
the rain." I think Rob
had hung up when I
got to "parking."
Since we escaped
from the big city, I
would love to say I've
discovered that the
most beautiful things
in the world are the
wildflowers in the
spring, the sight of
tiny, spotted fawns
crossing our lawn
and the smell of new-
mown grass. But they
are not. The most
beautiful thing in
the world is hearing
that they're declaring
tomorrow another
"Gridlock Alert Day"
in the city. There's
just something about
the mental picture a
junior exec sitting
in a new $88,000
Mercedes going
absolutely nowhere
that never fails to
cheer me up.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Dear Annie: I am madly
in love with my ex-fancee.
We have been separated since
March but have been talking
about getting back together
and starting a family.
The problem is, while
we were separated, I slept
with another woman. It hap-
pened at a weak point in my
life, and I dont plan to do it
again. Now the oth-
er woman says she
is pregnant. I have
asked for proof,
but she hasnt pro-
vided any. We did
use a condom, but it
broke.
Should I tell my
almost-fancee or
wait until I have
physical proof? I
know if I tell her, she
will be immensely
hurt and may nev-
er want to see me
again. I dont want to lose the
love of my life and my best
friend over this. Please help
me. On a Break
Dear Break: It is always
a bad idea to begin a relation-
ship with dishonesty. Word
is likely to get back to your
fancee, so you must tell her
frst. Dont make excuses for
your behavior. Take respon-
sibility, tell her you are deep-
ly sorry, and ask for forgive-
ness. Say that you understand
she is disappointed and hurt,
and that you will give her as
much time as she needs to
think about your future to-
gether. We hope she decides
to give you another chance,
and that you will be worthy
of her trust.
Dear Annie: I have been
disabled for several years.
I have a hip problem and
arthritis in both legs, so I
need to use the handi-
capped toilet stall because
of its higher seat and room
for mobility. I use a cane to
get around, so its obvious
I have a hard time walking.
There are times when I need
a wheelchair.
You would think that Jill
Q. Public would be courte-
ous, and in most cases, they
are. However, I have encoun-
tered women who let children
play in the handicapped stall
for a half-hour and, once, a
young woman who specif-
cally wanted that stall even
though there were others
available. I even have been
shoved aside because of the
race to get in. Just because
I move slower doesnt mean
my need isnt as urgent.
Please, ladies, life is chal-
lenging enough without this
kind of rudeness. Consider
how you would want to be
treated if you were in my
shoes. Ver-
mont Reader
Dear Ver-
mont: We cannot
understand how
anyone would
deny the use of a
handicapped stall
to someone who
requires it. Please
dont be reluc-
tant to speak up
if someone grabs
that stall while
you are waiting.
Heres the rule:
The handicapped stall may be
used by an able-bodied per-
son provided no one needs it,
no other stall is available and
you will be quick. When you
can wait for a regular stall,
please do so.
Dear Annie: I have a re-
sponse for Waiting for Your
Answer, who complained
that every time he went to the
bank, the greeter at the door
and the tellers made small
talk with the customers. He
said it took up too much
time. Apparently, hes never
worked with the public.
I work in a bank. My
employers have told us to
be friendly to the custom-
ers. If its a regular cus-
tomer, we might ask about
the family or their job. To
me, that is simply personal-
ized service. I prefer to do
business where someone will
acknowledge me rather than
ignore me.
If Waiting doesnt want
to be spoken to, he has three
options: One, ignore their
friendly questions. Two,
complain to the person in
charge. Three, take his busi-
ness elsewhere, where they
move people through like
robots on a conveyer belt.
Waiting needs to learn to
stop and smell the roses or
start earlier. Glad To Be a
Friendly Customer Service

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2013
A chance to make a difference will
brighten your world and give you hope
for future opportunities. Your capability
and potential will draw positive
attention and create quite a stir. Follow
your instincts and enjoy the journey.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- A work-related matter will create
uncertainty. Dont doubt your
performance or your status. Stand
behind your convictions and work
diligently to reach your goal.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Work toward personal
accomplishments today. Strive to be
your best and to take care of whats
most important to you. Make a change
if it will alleviate tension.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --
You can play the game with finesse.
Each move you make will get you
closer to your chosen destination. If
you believe in your ability and skill, so
will everyone else.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Dont rely on someone else to finish
what you started. You must take
ownership of your responsibilities so
you can move on to the things you
enjoy doing most.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
There is money to be made if you put
your ideas into action. What you launch
now will take everyone by surprise,
leaving an excellent impression and an
impact on future possibilities.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Procrastination will lead you in
unproductive circles. Make a choice and
stick to it before someone complains or
takes over. A practical approach will be
your best recourse.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Taking part in a project, activity or
event will broaden your outlook and
your friendships. Youll draw interest
from someone very different from you.
Enjoy collaborating with others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Look at the bright side, whatever
transpires today. Being adaptable
will help you find solutions as you go
along. Guard against foolish mishaps or
misunderstandings.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You
have nothing to lose and everything
to gain. Dont be afraid to voice your
opinion or take on a daunting challenge.
If you play to win, you will succeed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You need
a diversion. Look for an interesting way
to spend your day. If you interact with
people from different backgrounds, you
will be enriched by the information you
gather.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Question anyone asking for money or
help. A snap decision regarding such
matters will result in loss. Honest
conversation will allow you to offer
reasonable solutions. Charity begins at
home.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Keep your emotions under control.
Overreacting will make matters worse.
Listen attentively, but dont meddle or
make promises that youll regret. Face
facts and make needed changes.

Summit discussion topics will include practical ways to
incorporate cover crops into an operation, cover crop planting
methods, termination, management and more. Tour stops will
feature grain farmers and animal producers who have suc-
cessfully incorporated cover crops into their unique systems
through innovation.
Participants will be traveling by bus to the following tour
stops: 1) Allen Dean Farm, Bryan; 2) Whiteshire Hamroc
(Swine) Farms, Albion, Ind.; 3) James Scott Farm, Pierceton,
Ind.; and 4) Mike Werling Farm; Decatur, Ind. At each opera-
tion, producers will share details on their experiences with
cover crops. Other university experts will be available to
answer questions. Farmers will have an opportunity to relate
to their own experiences on their own farms and share practi-
cal useful information and knowledge based on real experi-
ences.
The tour begins at 8 a.m. Wednesday when the bus leaves
Don Halls Guesthouse in Fort Wayne. The first stop is at
Allen Dean Farm, where Dean will share how he uses cover
crop mixes and show how he plants and manages cover crops
in standing crops with his high boy cover crop applicator. At
Whiteshire Hamroc farms, owner Al Osterlund will demon-
strate how to incorporate manure into a cover crop operation.
The day will wrap up at the Jamie Scott Farm, where partici-
pants will see 60 different cover crop plantings which include
single and mixed species. The summit will conclude on Nov.
21 at the Mike Werling farm with a focus on soil health.
Participants will see at the Werling farm a comprehensive
system that incorporates cover crops and other conservation
practices.
Pre-registration is required! The program is free and travel
costs, lodging and meals will be reimbursed (up to $400) with
pre-registration. For more information about the summit, visit
www.ctic.org/CoverCropSummit or contact Chad Watts at
574-242-0147 or watts@ctic.org.
The Putnam County OSU Extension office and the
Blanchard River Watershed Coordinator (Phil Martin) are
offering a Cover Crop Tour from 9 a.m.-noon Tuesday at Jim
Leopolds farm, north of Glandorf at 9464 CR. 11. We planted
10 different cover crops four ways: broadcast, broadcast plus
swine manure, turbo-till, turbo-till plus swine manure; so there
are 40 individual plots to discuss. Martin will also share some
information about cost share money for cover crops in the
Riley Creek watershed.
The Putnam County OSU Extension office is also offering
a full day Soil Health Workshop from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Dec.
10. The cost is $30 and includes handouts, a Cover Crop Field
Guide and a meal. Topics will include soil demonstrations,
presentations on soil ecology and soil microbes, nutrient recy-
cling and reducing N and P runoff, soil compaction, econom-
ics of cover crops, adapting agriculture to extreme weather
events and hour-long discussions on using legumes to build
soil nitrogen, grass cover crops and brassicas (oilseed radish,
kale, rape) to reduce pests like weeds, insects and diseases
in your crop land. Pre-registration to the Extension office is
required to hold a spot by Dec. 9.

Doctors are told to get
serious about obesity
ATLANTA (AP) Next time you go
for a checkup, dont be surprised if your
doctor gets on your case about your weight.
The medical profession has issued new
guidelines for fighting the nations obesity
epidemic, and they urge physicians to be a
lot more aggressive about helping patients
drop those extra pounds.
Doctors should calculate your body
mass index, a weight-to-height ratio. And if
you need to lose weight, they should come
up with a plan and send you for counseling.
We recognize that telling patients to
lose weight is not enough, said Dr. Donna
Ryan, co-chair of the guidelines committee.
The good news? By next year, most
insurance companies are expected to cover
counseling and other obesity treatments,
following in the steps of the Medicare pro-
gram, which began paying for one-on-one
help last year.
More than a third of U.S. adults are
obese, and thats been the case since the
middle of the last decade. Officials define
someone with a BMI of 30 or higher as
obese. A 5-foot-9 person would be obese at
203 pounds.
Doctors are well aware that excess
weight can trigger diabetes and lead to
heart disease and other health problems.
Yet surveys have shown that only about a
third of obese patients recall their doctor
talking to them about their BMI or counsel-
ing them about weight loss.
The guidelines were released this week
by a group of medical organizations that
include the American Heart Association,
the American College of Cardiology and
the Obesity Society.
They come amid a spate of important
developments in the fight against obesity.
Last year, the Food and Drug
Administration approved two more obesi-
ty-fighting drugs. And this year, the AMA
labeled obesity a disease, a measure intend-
ed to get doctors to pay more attention to
the problem and prod more insurers to pay
for treatments.
Yet many people have been on their own
when it comes to slimming down, left to
sift through the myriad diets and exercise
schemes that are promoted for weight loss.
And most doctors have little training in
how to help their obese patients, other than
telling them its a problem and they need to
do something about it.
I feel for these guys, said Dr. Tim
Church, a researcher at Louisiana State
Universitys Pennington Biomedical
Research Center. They have patients who
come in and ask them about the latest fad
diet. Theyre not trained in this stuff and
theyre not comfortable recommending
particular diets or weight-loss plans.
The guidelines advise doctors to:
At least once year, calculate patients
BMI, measure their waists and tell them if
they are overweight or obese.
Develop a weight-loss plan that
includes exercise and moderate calorie-
cutting.
Consider recommending weight-loss
surgery for patients with a BMI of 40 or for
those with a BMI of 35 who also have two
other risk factors for heart disease such as
diabetes or high blood pressure.
Refer overweight and obese patients
who are headed for heart problems to
weight-loss programs. Specifically, discuss
enrolling them in at least 14 face-to-face
counseling sessions over six months with
a registered dietitian, psychologist or other
professional with training in weight man-
agement.
Web or phone-based counseling ses-
sions are considered a less effective option.
Diane LeBlanc said the new guidelines
are overdue.
More than year ago, the Baton Rouge,
La., woman sat down with her longtime
family doctor to talk about her weight and
get a referral for some kind of help. She
had tried dieting without success for more
than a decade, had high blood pressure and
was about to hit a dress size of 20.
She said the doctor smiled and told her:
Theres a lot of programs out there. But
really, you just have to eat less.
It just devastated me, LeBlanc
recalled. He was saying, Its all in your
mind. I was thinking, If I could do that,
dont you think I would have done it by
now?
She changed doctors and has lost 40
pounds from her 5-foot-4 frame since May
after getting into an intensive Pennington
weight-loss program that includes counsel-
ing sessions.
Doctors need to get the message,
LeBlanc said. Just telling someone you
need to push the plate away is not going to
work for everyone.
Obama admin. posts
low health care signups
WASHINGTON (AP)
Putting a statistic on
disappointment, the Obama
administration revealed
Wednesday that fewer than
27,000 people signed up
for private health insurance
last month in the 36 states
relying on a problem-filled
federal website.
States running their own
enrollment systems did bet-
ter, signing up more than
79,000, for a total enroll-
ment of over 106,000.
Still, that was barely
one-fifth of the nearly
500,000 people administra-
tion officials had project-
ed would sign up the first
month of Obamas signa-
ture program, a numerical
rebuke to the administra-
tions ability to deliver on
its promise. The 106,185
people who made it all the
way through to selecting a
plan represent just 1.5 per-
cent of the 7 million people
the administration hopes to
enroll by next year.
Health and Human
Ser vi ces Secr et ar y
Kathleen Sebelius said
things will get better, and
quickly. There is no doubt
the level of interest is
strong, she said.
The administration said
an additional 1 million or so
applicants have been found
eligible for government-
subsidized private coverage
in new state-level insurance
markets, and about half are
within sight of having their
plans lined up for the start
of next year. An additional
396,000 have been found
eligible for Medicaid, the
safety-net program that is
shaping up as the health
care laws early success
story.
The numbers landed
amid a political storm on
Capitol Hill. Democrats
who had hoped to run for
re-election next year on the
success of the health care
law are increasingly wor-
ried.
Spending cuts, shutdown
lower US budget deficit
WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. government started
the first month of the 2014 budget year with a smaller
budget deficit, signaling further improvement in the
nations finances at a time when lawmakers are wres-
tling to reach a deal to keep the government open past
January.
The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the
deficit in October was $91.6 billion. Thats 24 per-
cent lower than the $120 billion imbalance recorded in
October 2012. The deficit is the gap between the gov-
ernments tax revenue and spending.
Across-the-board spending cuts and the partial gov-
ernment shutdown helped reduce expenditures last
month, the first of the new budget year. Higher taxes
and a better economy also boosted revenue.
The October decline comes after the government ran
an annual deficit of $680 billion in the budget year that
ended on Sept. 30. That was the lowest in five years and
the first in that period below $1 trillion. Its also half the
record $1.4 trillion gap reported in 2009.
Yet the shrinking deficit is not expected to take much
pressure off of lawmakers, who are facing an informal
Dec. 13 deadline to reach a deal to fund government and
avoid another shutdown.
1,000 US troops
to help Philippine
aid effort
WASHINGTON (AP)
The number of American
troops helping the relief effort
in the typhoon-hit Philippines
could triple to more than
1,000 by the end of the week,
U.S. officials said Wednesday.
Senior Obama adminis-
tration officials that after a
very difficult first few days,
they are cautiously optimistic
that logistical bottlenecks that
have held up large quantities
of aid material are easing.
Thousands were killed
and about 600,000 people
displaced by last weeks
powerful storm that struck
the central Philippines, and
many remain hungry, thirsty
and sick. The Southeast Asian
nation is a U.S. treaty ally,
and Washington is providing
$20 million in immediate aid
and ships and aircraft to help
distribute supplies.
President Barack Obama
urged American citizens, too,
to contribute, directing them
to a White House website
with links to groups provid-
ing aid. He noted some of
the areas hit by the storm are
the same places where U.S.
and Philippine forces worked
together to liberate the islands
during World War II.
Recovering from one
of the strongest storms ever
recorded will take years,
Obama said in a statement.
But the strength, resilience
and faith of the Filipino peo-
ple are legendary.
Toronto mayor
admits he has
bought illegal drugs
TORONTO (AP) Toronto
Mayor Rob Ford admitted dur-
ing a heated City Council debate
Wednesday that he bought ille-
gal drugs while in office, but
adamantly refused to step down
despite calls from nearly every
councilor to take a leave of
absence and get help.
Im most definitely keeping
this job, the 44-year-old Ford
said, insisting he was a positive
role model for kids.
The mayor made the admis-
sion under questioning by a
former ally, Councilor Denzil
Minnan-Wong. Ford publicly
acknowledged last week that he
smoked crack cocaine while in
a drunken stupor last year,
but his comments Wednesday
marked the first time he admit-
ted buying illegal drugs.
Ford paused for a long time
after Minnan-Wong asked him
if he had bought illicit narcotics
in the past two years.
Then he replied, Yes I
have.
I understand the embarrass-
ment that I have caused. I am
humiliated by it, Ford said.
But he then turned defiant,
saying he was not an addict
and rebuffing suggestions from
council members that he seek
help.
I am not leaving here, Ford
said. Im going to sit here and
going to attend every meeting.
Moments earlier, all but two
of the 43 councilors present for
the debate voted to accept an
open letter asking Ford to step
aside. Most of them also stood
up to urge the mayor to take a
leave of absence.
Although it was a stark
demonstration of his politi-
cal isolation, the vote was
merely symbolic because the
City Council does not have the
authority to force the mayor
from office unless he is con-
victed of a crime.
That section of the library wasnt really
being used and it should be open to the patrons,
Rist said. With reconfiguring some furniture
and a carpet cleaning, its ready to go.
Work will begin on the librarys leaky foun-
dation on Friday.
The leak is in the southwest corner of the
boiler room in the basement and in close
proximity to a gas line and where the power
comes into the building. The Library Board of
Trustees approved an estimate of $2,586 for the
repair from Trisco Systems, Inc. of Lima at the
October meeting.
Rist also talked about the librarys Food for
Fines program. Patrons can bring in non-per-
ishable food items to pay off currently existing
fines Nov. 25 through Dec. 28. The items will
be given to the Delphos Community Christmas
Project and Interfaith Thrift Store for distribu-
tion.
She also announced Nov. 20 as the next Tech
Drop-in Night. Anyone with a Kindle, Nook,
tablet or eReader can bring their devices in and
have one-on-one assistance on how to use it
from 6:30-8 p.m.
Jane Rutledges name will be submitted to
the Delphos City Schools Board of Education
for approval of reappointment to as trustee.
Rutledge is currently the secretary.
Rist is waiting on news back from the
Dienstberger Foundation on a $14,000 grant for
several projects.
The library is in the process of designing a
teen area with the input of more than a dozen
local middle and high school students. The
effort is in hopes of growing services for teen
library patrons, including space, programming
and circulation.
The area will be located in the basement
activity room and include room for watching
DVDs and playing video and board games. The
majority of the cost ($3,500) will be for fur-
nishings, including a table and chairs, gaming
chairs, an area rug and game system and games.
The second item on the grant list is an AWE
early learning station computer for the chil-
drens area. The computer, geared for ages 2-8,
is self-contained with no Internet connection
required, plug in and go with more than 60 fun
and educational software programs. It can be
operated with the keyboard, touch screen or
stylus. The system costs $3,100 and a new desk
and chair will be needed.
The final item on the list is a generator to
keep the librarys heating and cooling systems
running as well as some lighting. The avail-
ability of the alternative power source will
make the library a safe area in the event of
a widespread power outage. The generator is
$6,500 installed.
Rist also reported about half of the librarys
yearbook collection has been digitized and
she expects the entire collection to be finished
within three months.

One of his covert operations was watching the
Ho Chi Min Trail used by the North to move men
and supplies to the South.
The trail was a complex web of different jun-
gle paths that enabled Communist troops to travel
from North Vietnam to areas close to Saigon.
I bet you cant guess the most common mode
of transportation on that trail, Mahlie challenged
students. It was the bicycle. Hundreds of them
would pass through there and it was my job to
keep track of what they were moving through
there.
Mahlie also shared the fact that many of the
Vietnamese camps, hospital and troop sleeping
quarters were underground and hard to find.
Wagner, even though quite a bit younger than
Hughes, also served in Korea.
We still have US soldiers there and its still a
very tense situation with the North continuously
trying to make the South Communist, Wagner
said.
Wagner trained in demolitions but never really
used the skills in the service. In fact, one of his
last assignments was just the opposite rebuild-
ing school systems in Honduras.
We built school systems. We werent replac-
ing them; they never had them, he said. I feel
really lucky to have done that. You really dont
know poor until you visit one of those countries.
We are very lucky.
