Efforts are constant to create and keep jobs in county

BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor egebert@timesbulletin.com VAN WERT After spending nearly 11 months as Van Wert County Economic Development Director, Cindy Leis is as optimistic as ever about the future of Van Wert County. She took over the position during the first part of January after the office had been open for 70 percent of 2012.

the dynamics of the county, she reported. At this point, Leis knows her way around the county. She knows the available buildings that could host a potential business. And she has plenty of connections, both among businesspersons and state officials, as she looks to bring jobs to the county. Its not an easy task, especially with a few businesses shutting down, just as others are starting up. In this past year the area has had several closings to deal with like Carter Lumber, Pick n Save, Derry Drugs, Pizza Johns, and Three Rivers Federal Credit Union. However, there have been plenty of new businesses as well. Ribbons have been cut at Label Shopper, OReilly Auto Parts, Embroidery Coop, Little Ceasars, Halls Custom Cut Meats, and several other shops. Remodeling and expansion projects have also been completed. Leis stated, The focus of this office has got to be job creation, as well as investments and expansions. See COUNTY, page 10

LOS ANGELES (AP) A fiery car crash north of Los Angeles has killed 40-year-old Paul Walker, the star of the Fast & Furious movie series, and one other person in the vehicle. Deputies found a Porsche Carrera GT engulfed in flames when they responded to a report of a collision Saturday afternoon in the community of Valencia, the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department said. Two people who were found in the car were pronounced dead at the scene. Walkers publicist Ame Van Iden confirmed the actors death. A statement on Walkers Facebook page said he was a passenger in a friends car, and that Walker was in the area to attend a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. The Sheriffs Department said that speed was a factor in the crash. The Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported that the Porsche crashed into a light pole and tree and burst into flames. The fundraiser, to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan, took place at a nearby racecar shop. Attendees rushed to put out the flames with fire extinguishers to no avail. All of us at Universal are heartbroken, Universal Pictures, which has released the Fast & Furious franchise, said in a statement. Paul was truly one of the most beloved and respected members of our studio family for 14 years, and this loss is devastating to us, to everyone involved with the Fast and Furious films, and to countless fans. His Fast & Furious co-star Vin Diesel posted a photograph of him and Walker arm-in-arm on Instagram with the message: Brother I will miss you very much. I am absolutely speechless. Walker rode the Fast & Furious franchise to stardom, starring in all but one of the six action blockbusters, beginning with the first film in 2001. The blond-haired, blue-eyed Los Angeles-native brought California surfer good-looks and an easy, warm charm to the popular street-racing series. The son of a fashion model and a sewer contractor, Walker grew up in a working class, Mormon household in Glendale, Calif. The oldest of five siblings, Walkers mother began taking him to auditions as a toddler. He was a child model beginning at the age of 2. Walker has said the early induction to show business wasnt to start him on a career path, but as a way to help provide for the family. After a string of TV roles as a child in the 80s, including small roles on Whos the Boss and Charles in Charge, Walker made his feature film debut in the 1998 comedy Meet the Deedles. Supporting roles in the films Pleasantville, Varsity Blues and Flags of Our Fathers followed. His performance in the 2000 thriller The Skulls caught the eye of producer Neal H. Moritz, who cast him in The Fast and the Furious as undercover police officer Brian OConner. Adapted from a Vibe magazine article about underground street races, the film became an unexpected hit. In the sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Walker moved to center stage with Diesel temporarily dropping out. Walker, a self-described gearhead, kept his characters sports car from the film. Walker starred in other films, including the crime thriller Running Scared, the Antarctic adventure Eight Below and the heist film Takers. Though his stardom didnt make as much of an impact outside the Fast & Furious series, Walker continually drew praise from his co-stars and directors as a kind-hearted and eager collaborator. Your humble spirit was felt from the start, Ludacris, Walkers Fast & Furious co-star, said on Twitter. Wherever you blessed your presence you always left a mark, we were like brothers. Fast & Furious proved unusually enduring. Released in May, Fast & Furious 6 was the most lucrative of them all, grossing more than $788 million worldwide. The seventh installment began shooting in September, with a release planned for July. The films production was on break with more shooting to be done. Walker stars in the upcoming Hurricane Katrina drama Hours, which Lionsgates Pantelion Films is to release Dec. 13. He also stars in Brick Mansions, a remake of the French action film District B13 in post-production that Relativity plans to release next year. Paul was an incredibly talent artist, devoted philanthropist and friend, Relativity President Tucker Tooley said in a statement. He formed Reach Out Worldwide in 2010 to aid people struck by natural disasters. A friend of Walkers who attended the fundraiser Saturday, Bill Townsend, told AP Radio, He was very happy. He was smiling at everybody, just tickled that all these people came out to support this charity. He was doing what he loved. He was surrounded by friends, surrounded by cars. Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughter.

State monitors deer for Annual live nativity set for this weekend health, public safety
Information submitted COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios Division of Wildlife is monitoring deer around the state for reasons including health and public safety as deer-gun season opens this week. Officials with the division of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources say studying a sampling of deer can help them make assumptions about the health and age of the deer population. They say that translates into better management of the herd through proper setting of hunting limits and ultimately benefits everyone, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Karen Norris, a biologist and spokeswoman with the Division of Wildlife, is one of dozens of state employees traveling to deer-processing stations around the state for the opening of deer-gun season today. Our goal isnt just to make it better for hunting, Norris said. She says herd management helps the public in many ways. Too many deer mean more vehicle crashes, so theres a science to appropriate culling. Deer also can cause extensive crop damage, which can lead to higher prices at the grocery store, officials said. But no one wants to reduce the herd too drastically. Whether you are the guy with a camera photographing wildlife, or someone who likes to see the white-tailed deer outside your back door, we want the deer there for enjoyment, too, Norris said. Division employees will have examined hundreds of deer at more than 80 processing stations by the end of the deer-gun season that runs through Sunday. They will also have monitored for disease in an effort to protect the herd and Ohios captive-deer farms and other livestock, said Scott Zody, chief of the Division of Wildlife. Deer are monitored for black-legged ticks and for diseases, including brucellosis, an infectious disease that can be transferred to livestock. State wildlife officials no longer estimate the numbers of white-tailed deer in Ohio but they say the herd was estimated at more than 700,000 a few years ago. VAN WERT The annual Live Nativity Drive-Thru, hosted by the Jennings Road Church of Christ, will be from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The church is located at 1124 Jennings Road in Van Wert. Live camels will once again be the featured attraction, with authentic costumes, and scenes recreated from biblical times. A no-vacancy inn, lively bartering around the marketplace, singing angels, shepherds and sheep and the newborn baby will be seen from the comfort of your car as you drive through the recreated scenes. There is no cost for the event, though donations will be accepted. For more information,

Audubon Society bird counts slated for December

Information submitted LIMA Tri-Moraine Audubon Society will coordinate two of the Audubon Christmas Bird Counts in Ohio: Grand Lake St. Marys on Dec. 14 and Indian Lake on Dec. 15. Participation is free and open to the public. The CBCs offer an opportunity to participate in a little winter birding, and perhaps see some of the winter visitors to our area - especially those that usually do not hang out in our yards. Most importantly, we are collecting very useful data as citizen scientists. Data contained in the more than 100-year history of Audubon CBCs is a very valuable source of information about birds. Such a volume of data could not have been acquired in any other way. This could be especially important for the Grand Lake St. Marys count, since the St. Marys River and Grand Lake St. Marys represent one of the Important Bird Areas in the Tri-Moraine region. The more counters we have participating, the more fun we can have and the more birds we are likely to tally. All are welcome; less experienced birders will flock with more experienced birders, so everyones eyes and ears will be useful. Although it is OK to show up at the last minute to participate, it is really helpful in organizing the count efficiently if the coordinator knows in advance (at least the night before) how many counters there will be. To sign up for the count (or for additional information), please contact Eric Juterbock at 419-9958360 (day), 937-468-2606 (evening), juterbock.l@osu.edu (email) or at OSU at Lima, 4240 Campus Drive, Lima, OH 45804.
To be considered an official count, we must be out for at least eight hours but individual counters need not participate for the full time. In addition to the counters roaming the 15-mile diameter count circle, one may participate by tallying the birds that visit a feeder located within the circle. Assigned routes for the mobile counters generally involve both road and foot travel. Remember to dress appropriately and to bring such needed items as binoculars, bird guides, food and drinks, etc. Counters will meet at 7:30 a.m. for both counts, in order to finalize the census routes and be counting by 8 a.m. For the Grand Lake St. Marys count, meet at the McDonalds at the mall at the intersection of SR 29 and US 33 in St. Marys. For the Indian Lake count, meet at the McDonalds in Russells Point.

Catching Fire, Frozen break box office records

Associated Press The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and 3-D animated musical Frozen dished up box office records over the Thanksgiving holiday. Lionsgates sequel earned a prodigious $75 million in its second weekend, while Disneys frosty fete opened with $67 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Both films bested the previous Thanksgiving record holder, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, which earned $57.5 million in 2001 over a three-day period. Snowballing its way to the top, Frozen became the biggest Thanksgiving opening ever and the largest opening for Walt Disney Animation Studios. For a company whose foundation was built on animation, to have this as the biggest opening ever is a pretty extraordinary thing, said Dave Hollis, executive vice president of distribution at Walt Disney Studios, adding that the box office draw of Frozen exceeded studio expectations. We came into the weekend feeling like anything that would exceed the result from Tangled from a couple years back would be great, Hollis added. Tangled opened with $68.7 million in 2010. We thought something in the $70-$80 million range is what might be possible with Frozen. We are hoping it lends itself to a big, long payoff after this great start. The films topped records for the highest domestic box office grosses for the three-day and five-day holiday weekend. Catching Fire blazed the trail to No. 1 and Frozen slid in at No. 2. Catching Fire earned the biggest-ever gross for a film from Wednesday to Sunday over the Thanksgiving holiday. It brought in $110.2 million, raising its domestic total to $297 million. Frozen scored $93 million over the five days, topping Disneys previous five-day champ, Toy Story 2, which earned $80.1 million in 1999. All of these records being broken, its like a true snowball effect, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. Overall, this is the biggest Thanksgiving weekend for the industry ever. Last year was the Thanksgiving record holder, but this one-two punch with Catching Fire and Frozen was just amazing. Internationally, Catching Fire continued to bring the heat, earning a total of $276 million through Sunday. Opening No. 1 in France, Italy and Belgium, the sequel exceeded the opening weekend of The Hunger Games in all three markets. Overall, the sequel has grossed $573 million worldwide. After dominating the box office during its first two weeks in theaters, Disneys Thor: The Dark World dropped to No. 2 last weekend and was knocked down one more spot to No. 3 this weekend, earning $11.1 million. Globally, it continues to keep Disney on the map with a total of $591.1 million. Maintaining a healthy position at the box office, Universals romantic comedy The Best Man Holiday held the fourth slot with $8.5 million, while thriller Homefront, starring Jason Statham and James Franco, opened in the No. 5 slot with $7 million. Also debuting over the holiday, Fox Searchlights Black Nativity landed in the top 10 with $3.9 million, while the Weinstein Co.s Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, starring Idris Elba, saw a solid launch, earning $100,306 despite playing in just four theaters. Opening with $850,000, Spike Lees Oldboy failed to make an impressive impact at the box office.
Despite disease, Ohio girl plays in marching band

BOARDMAN (AP) Baba ORiley is among the most infectious rock anthems of all time, with riffs and lyrics that beg you to join in. Officially among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fames 500 songs that shaped rock, its the signature performance for this years Boardman High School band. On a brisk October day in the Boardman High parking lot, band director Tom Ruggieri is guiding the 184-member band through Baba as frenetically as The Whos Pete Townshend whips his arm around his guitar. A mic set wraps around Ruggieris head to carry his voice over the speakers as he talks, walks and teaches the 184 band students. Theyre playing Baba without missing a beat, and neither does he when the trademark drum roll kicks in about two minutes. Out of his mouth and over the speakers comes: Ba-da, ba-da, ba-da, da, da, da-da, da-da-dadada dsssshhhhhhh . In his sea of students is freshman Kaitlin Windt. Baba is her favorite song. The song relates to the journey of two people. Sally take my hand, well travel south cross land Ruggieri and Kaitlin are on a journey. Kaitlin is pretty much confined to a wheelchair a dreadful birth gene that was eventually diagnosed as Friedreichs Ataxia. Its muscular dystrophy, scoliosis, heart weakness, circulation problems, diabetes and more rolled into one tragic syndrome. Her muscles are tightening up all around her. But her spirit is not a muscle. Its free. When she reached high school and Ruggieri this year, they committed to Friedreichs not keeping her from the band, either. With the rapid and intricate movements of a high school marching band from twisting tubas to dipping drums to majorettes its no place for a wheelchair to be rolling around. You would think For Ruggieri, Kaitlins spot in the band started long before he ever met her. Several years ago, he watched a news program about a college marching band. In it was a wheelchairbound student whose dad learned the march routine so he could push his son on the field. I choked up when I saw it, said Ruggieri. I put myself in that position and wondered How would I do it? I thought I would like to make that happen some day. That some day came last spring. Kaitlin has been in school band since fifth grade. She had dreams of being in the Boardman High band. Walking has always been a challenge with her disease. Halfway through eighth grade last year, the curvature in her spine had progressed that she needed rods inserted in her spine to straighten her. It made her walking even more unstable, and a wheelchair safer. Mr. Ruggieri already knew of Kaitlin and her interest in band, said dad, Howard. He got a surprise with the wheelchair, though. Kaitlins mom, Chrissy Longley, did not want Kaitlins feelings hurt. She really wanted to be part of band, but I didnt want to get her hopes up, Chrissy said. The last thing I wanted to do was have her sign up and learn that she had to sit on sidelines. Ruggieri didnt want that either. We have the same expectations for all our kids, Ruggieri said. Never are all kids at the same level of music or marching. We work with all of them. For Kaitlin to play her flute in the Boardman band, an adult would need to learn all the drills and push Kaitlin around the field at every event. Howards and Chrissys work schedules would not permit them. Ruggieri needed someone to volunteer. He got two. It brought back memories of my band life at Springfield, said Beth Bean, band booster club president and mom to band members Jeff, a senior, and Kristine, a freshman. This summer, she added the role of Kaitlins away game partner. Kaitlins home games were handled by Ruggieris daughter, Rachel, who came home from Kent State to help out. It was an easy fit for Beth and Rachel as they were set to be at the critical band camp anyway to assist Ruggieri. The three of them got started together at August camp in Erie, Pa., and Mother Nature tested Brand New 2014 Jeep Cherokee them from the start. Sport 4x2 Rain-soaked fields, mud, slogging it was a tough introduction to their new partnership. We started with the worst conditions, so it could only get better, Rachel said. Kaitlin laughs at those first days.

Beth recalls one tipping moment. I turned too fast and was not used to the chair yet, and I hear Mrs. Bean Im tipping, Beth said with a laugh. Both Beth and Rachel said if you think their job was tough, try being Kaitlin and playing the flute while all this was going on. She did the best to play flute while we bumped around, said Rachel. It was just nice to see her happy and enjoying the band. Already solved for the Boardman band next year is who will handle Kaitlin. Beth and Rachel are already set to go. And Kaitlin no doubt expects to be there. Their challenge: What will Friedreichs allow? Dont read the Internet. Thats the first thing Howard and Chrissy were told when Kaitlins diagnosis of Friedreichs Ataxia came. It came the summer before fifth grade. At summer camp, a curvature in Kaitlins spine became more noticeable. They always knew something wasnt right about Kaitlins motor skills. Theyre delicate when they describe it, yet perfectly blunt: When she walked, she had this stagger like she was drunk, said Howard. Still, she had a normal kid life ballet, baseball, etc. They saw small things, but they were dismissible. Friedreichs itself is often not diagnosed until teen years or later, said Chrissy. That all changed that summer as the disease took control.

Flyers punish Jays in Division VII State semis

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com WAPAKONETA St. Johns scored the first points of Saturdays Division VII State semifinal against Marion Local just 1:47 into the contest. It was all Marion Local after that as the Flyers scored the last 35 in a row in grabbing a 35-6 victory. The Flyers (14-0) advance to take on fellow unbeaten Glouster Trimble in Saturdays State finals at Massillon Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. We just ran into a very good football team. Hey are a very balanced offensive team with a great quarterback and a tough running game, St. Johns coach Todd Schulte explained. Their speed on defense was our biggest concern coming in and we just couldnt deal with it. We got to our guys but couldnt sustain blocks. Outside of one big plays, any holes we thought we had closed quickly with a lot of players in the way. I think its going to take a great effort to keep them from another title. St. Johns (9-5) started with the ball after the opening kickoff at the 10. Two plays later at the 18, senior tailback Tyler Jettinghoff (14 rushes, 111 yards) took a toss off left tackle and refused to go down, fighting through would-be tacklers and emerging toward the sideline. He then outran the defense down the left sideline to the tally with 10:13 showing in the opener. Senior kicker Ben Wrasmans extra point was blocked for a 6-0 lead. The Flyers gained midfield before having to punt and the Jays again were pinned deep at the 14. They moved out to the 48 but also had to punt, with the Flyers commencing at the 25. Four plays later at the 45, 6-6 senior Adam Bertke (12-of-20 passing, 229 yards, 3 scores) roll left from the shotgun and found sophomore Hunter Wilker (3 catches, 116 yards) behind the defense at the 5 and the touchdown. Junior Peyton Kramers point-
SPORTS
St. Johns senior tailback Tyler Jettinghoff didnt find many open seams against the Marion Local D Saturday night despite the efforts of junior guard Wes Buettner. (Delphos Herald/Larry Heiing) after gave the home team on the scoreboard the lead for good, 7-6, with 2:32 on the clock. With the Flyer defense beginning to put the clamps on the Jays and the running game, a holding call on the Jays stymied them. On 4th-and-1 at the 46, Jettinghoff, in the Wildcat, was ruled down a yard short with 11:54 to go in the second stanza. It took one play to make it pay off. Bertke handed off to junior tailback Jacy Goettemoeller (16 rushes, 134 yards) inside left guard, found a clean hole and cut toward the right sideline, spinning out of a final tackle at the 5 and into the end zone with 11:41 showing. Kramer made it 14-6. Marion mentor Tim Goodwin credited his defense for responding to a challenge this week. We have struggled stopping power-running teams the last couple of weeks and we just challenged the kids to not let that happen this week. We changed some personnel we basically wanted to find out who our toughest kids are and put them in, he acknowledged. For example, this is the first time weve played Jacy on defense all year; he is a physical and aggressive player. As well, where we usually run several different defenses, we
only used one tonight. The Jays were forced into the first of three straight 3-and-outs and the Flyers took possession at the 39. Bertke hit senior Troy Homan (5 grabs, 94 yards) for 39 and then they used seven rushing plays to go the remainder of the 22 yards. On 3rd-and-goal from 17, Bertke, in the gun, was forced to scramble to the left. He found the sideline and was flipped over as he crossed the goal line. Kramer made it 21-6 with 5:49 showing in the stanza. The Flyers used an 18-yard Dustin Rethman punt return to start their next drive at the St. Johns 40 but on play six and the 14, Marion fumbled and sophomore Trent Closson recovered there. However, the Jays could do nothing and on the final play of the half from the Jays 41, Bertkes throw for the end zone was incomplete. Goettemoeller returned the second-half kickoff to the 25 and that just started a 5-play drive, despite a holding penalty. At the 46, Bertke again in the gun threw for Wilker on the right sideline at the 30; the defender mistimed his jump and the ball settled into Wilkers arms and he did the rest, cutting back against a final defender for the 54-yard scoring toss. Kramer made it 28-6 with 10:27 left in the third. A holding call short-circuited any chance for a St. Johns retaliation and Wrasman had to punt, with the victors taking possession at the Jays 37. Three running plays put the ball at the 20. Berte then ran a play-action fake and found Homan on a corner route on the left side at the goal line for the final touchdown with 7:29 left in the third stanza. Kramer accounted for the final point and a 35-6 edge. Another 3-and-out by the Jays followed and the Flyers turned the ball over on downs at the Jays 29 after a 9-play, 29-yard possession.

Wildcat boys hit century mark

Information Submitted RIDGEWAY Jeffersons boys basketball crew put a quartet in double digits and hit the century mark in destroying host Ridgemont 100-35 Saturday night in non-conference action. I dont know when the last time Jeffersons boys scored 100 points. We played with great intensity from start to finish, Jefferson coach Marc Smith said. We talked about that before we got on the bus: we were facing a long bus ride, we had a substantial win from the night before and we didnt want to get off to a slow start. We scored 32 points in the first period; our full-court pressure really bothered them and not only did we force turnovers but we converted them into points. Sophomore Trey Smith posted 29 markers, followed by 16 by senior Ross Thompson (8 boards), the first career double-double by freshman Jace Stockwell of 13 markers and 12 assists (5 steals) and 12 from senior Tyler Rice (8 caroms). Other notable performances came from junior Nick Fitch with a career-high 15 boards. Jefferson (2-0) canned 42-of72 shots (4-of-13 treys) for 58.3 percent, with 30 team assists, and hit 12-of-16 free throws (75%). They also pounded the hosts on the glass 52-20 (18-5 offensive), forced 24 miscues (13 of their own) and limited Smith their foe to 15-of-51 shooting (29.4%), including 2-of-15 3-balls, and 3-of-8 singles (37.5%). There were some positives: we were able to play our freshman point guard, Jace, from start to finish; playing
time at the varsity level is what he needs now. We also gave our backups a lot of minutes the second half and that always helps build more depth and confidence for those guys, Smith continued. At the same time, our starters only got two quarters of action tonight and that hurts in trying to build them into great basketball shape conditioning-wise. With the way it is this year, that will be a concern. Jefferson also won the junior varsity contest 57-34. The Wildcats host Fort Recovery Friday with the JV tip Thompson at 6 p.m. Weve already moved on. We have two good teams coming in here this weekend, Smith added. Fort Recovery has been a quality basketball school for a number of years and (Elijah) Kahlig will be a handful Friday night. Perry returns two 20-point-a-game scorers from last year and this might be their best team in 20 years they bring in Saturday.

Shorts TD catch gives Jaguars 32-28 win

By TOM WITHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND Cecil Shorts came home and broke some hearts. A Cleveland kid who grew up rooting for the Browns, Shorts caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Chad Henne with 40 seconds left, rallying the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 32-28 win on Sunday. On third-and-9, Henne lofted a perfect pass to the left corner for Shorts, who had beaten cornerback Joe Haden. Shorts got both feet down in the end zone before tumbling out of bounds. It was a dream moment for Shorts, who earlier this week talked about the excitement of returning to play in front of family members and friends. As a kid, his father raised him to support the local teams. Im all Cleveland Browns, Indians, Cavaliers, he said. Thats all I knew growing up. Hes added another entry to the citys pained sports history. Henne drove the Jaguars (3-9) 80 yards in nine plays for the winning TD as Jacksonville continued its stunning turnaround after losing its first eight games, all by at least 10 points. The Jaguars are 3-1 since their bye with all three victories on the road. Before Shorts catch, it appeared Browns beleaguered quarterback Brandon Weeden was going to shake off a rough afternoon. He had given the Browns (4-8) a 28-25 lead with a 95-yard TD pass to Josh Gordon with 3:55 left. Gordon returned from a head injury and finished 10 catches for a team record 261 yards. Hes the first player in NFL history to have consecutive 200-yard games. He had 237 in a loss last week against Pittsburgh and Gordon has 1,249 yards this season despite missing two games with a drug suspension. Still, Henne marched the Jaguars downfield to win it. Jacksonville stopped Clevelands final chance by batting down a desperation pass by Weeden into the end zone. Josh Scobee kicked three field goals for the Jaguars. Down 21-20 and their offense doing nothing, the Jaguars took the lead when Browns center Alex Mack snapped the ball over Weedens head into the end zone and the QB kicked it out of bounds for a safety.

Sundays NFL Capsules

Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. Peyton Manning threw for 403 yards and five touchdowns, four to Eric Decker, and the Denver Broncos held off a furious rally to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-28 Sunday and seize control of the AFC West. Decker had eight catches for a career-high 174 yards for the Broncos (10-2), who moved a game clear of the Chiefs (9-3) in the division. With four games left, Denver also holds the tie-breaker by virtue of two wins over Kansas City in the last three weeks. Jamaal Charles had 93 yards rushing for the Chiefs and capped a 17-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown run with 6:32 left in the game to close within a touchdown. After forcing a punt with 3:32 remaining, Kansas City used three long pass plays to move deep into Broncos territory. But Alex Smiths pass to Dwayne Bowe in the end zone on fourth-and-4 with 1:45 left fell incomplete. PANTHERS 27, BUCCANEERS 6 CHARLOTTE, N.C. Cam Newton threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score and the Panthers earned a franchise-record eighth straight regular-season victory. Newton threw touchdown passes to Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn Jr. and Superman leaped over the pile for another score as the Panthers (9-3) outgained the Buccaneers 426-206. The Carolina victory sets up a huge showdown next Sunday night with New Orleans with first place in the NFC South on the line. Newton ran for 68 yards and overcame two interceptions. The third-year quarterback has thrown for 13 touchdown passes and run for five scores during the Panthers current win streak. Carolinas defense came in allowing the fewest points in the league and flexed its muscles again, forcing two turnovers and sacking rookie Mike Glennon four times to snap a 3-game winning streak for Tampa Bay (3-9). Glennon had thrown a touchdown pass in an NFL record eight straight games to start his career. EAGLES 24, CARDINALS 21 PHILADELPHIA Nick Foles threw three touchdown passes and the Eagles held on. Zach Ertz had two TD catches, LeSean McCoy ran for 79 yards and the Eagles (7-5) won their fourth straight to remain tied with Dallas for first place in the NFC East. Carson Palmer threw for 302 yards and three TD passes but also had two interceptions and lost a fumble as the Cardinals (7-5) had their 4-game winning streak snapped. Foles picked up where he left off in November, when he was the NFCs Player of the Month and tied an NFL record with seven TDs in a game. Foles finished 21-of-34 for 237 yards against a defense ranked eighth. Foles set a team record for most passes without an interception (233), breaking Michael Vicks mark of 224 set in 2010. He also moved within one TD pass of tying Peyton Mannings mark of 20 and zero interceptions to start a season. PATRIOTS 34, TEXANS 31 HOUSTON Tom Brady threw for 371 yards and two scores and Stephen Gostkowski made two long field goals in the fourth quarter. The Texans franchise-record skid reached 10 games. Gary Kubiak coached from the sideline for the first time since suffering a mini-stroke Nov. 3. He missed one game before working the last two games from the booth. New England overcame a 24-point first-half deficit last week to beat the Broncos 34-31 in overtime. The Patriots (9-3) trailed by 10 at halftime in this one and the lead changed five times in a wild second half. New England tied it with a 53-yard field goal and took a 34-31 lead with another one from 53 with about three minutes left. Ben Tate ran for 102 yards and three touchdowns for the Texans (2-10), who havent won since Sept. 15. It was the
Dalton, Green lead Bengals to 17-10 win vs Bolts

By BERNIE WILSON Associated Press SAN DIEGO With a blue-collar, workmanlike approach, the Cincinnati Bengals knocked the San Diego Chargers back to reality while protecting their 2-game lead in the AFC North. The Bengals ran for 164 yards. They held Philip Rivers to just 252 yards passing. They forced three turnovers and preyed on a big breakdown in coverage. Down and dirty, cornerback Adam Jones said after the Bengals beat the Chargers 17-10 on Sunday, holding San Diegos high-powered offense to a season-low in points and wearing down its defense. Andy Dalton threw a goahead, 21-yard touchdown pass to wide-open A.J. Green late in the third quarter that allowed the Bengals (8-4),
who were coming off their bye, to keep a 2-game lead over Baltimore. San Diego (5-7) lost the momentum it gained with a thrilling 41-38 comeback win at Kansas City a week earlier. The Chargers slim playoff hopes dwindled after their fourth loss in five games. You score 10 points, you are going to lose most of the time, said Rivers, who completed 23-of-37 passes for 252 yards. Thats a good defense. We just werent consistent enough. With the score tied at 7, the Bengals got the ball after Dre Kirkpatrick ripped the ball away from tight end Antonio Gates after a reception at the Cincinnati 25, the Chargers third turnover.

St. Johns girls win defensive struggle

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The St. Johns girls basketball crew overcame sub-25-percent shooting Saturday afternoon at Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium, using a 14-board edge to best St. Marys Memorial 35-26 in non-league action. Tara Vorst and Emilie Fischbach led the Lady Blue Jays (1-1) with seven points each and Amanda Boberg and Sydney Fischbach added six each (11 boards for the latter). The Jays ended up 11-of-47 from the floor (4-of-19 long range) for 23.4 percent, while the Lady Roughriders canned 10-of-29 shots (0-of-10 triples) for 34.5 percent. The Jays outrebounded their foe 38-24 (19-3 offensive). Right now, its a matter of shooting with confidence. We had a lot of good looks today; we just couldnt hit them, St. Johns coach Dan J. Grothouse noted. We have to keep working and find some way to put the ball in the basket. Were very inconsistent offensively; we might hit two shots and then miss 10 and they are good looks. We are a work in progress, especially offensively. Erika Angstmann led the Lady Roughriders (0-3) with six and Skylar Liming added five. St. Johns struggled against the Memorial 1-2-2 zone defense in the first period, shooting 3-of-14. However, thanks to the hosts trademark glue-like man-to-man defense, they limited the Riders to 2-of-6. Seven offensive boards gave the Jays those extra shots and it was a second-chance triple on the left wing by the sophomore Vorst with 37 seconds to go that gave the hosts the lead for good. A basket by Roughrider Quincy Rable 38 seconds into nabbed four steals. Memorial had 21 fouls. The hosts totaled 15 fouls and visit Van Wert 6 p.m. (junior varsity tip) Tuesday. Defensively, we were very active and didnt give them many open looks. Thats something were going to have to bank on this season, especially until we iron out the offense, Grothouse added. We gave them few second shots, which also helps your defense. We were active on our own offensive glass and had a lot more shots there; again, we have to finish. The Jays JV (2-0) also won 36-27. Junior Samantha Wehri led with nine points. Shania Taylor countered with nine for the guests (2-1).

After a Roughrider turnover, St. Johns sophomore Tara Vorst handles the upcourt pass, slips Rider defender Bailey Gottschalk and garners the bucket Saturday afternoon at Arnzen Gymnasium. (Delphos Herald/Tom Morris) the second period was as close as they could get the rest of the contest. It stood at a 1-point lead until the Sydney Fischbach hit a 3-point play at 5:50 and that started the hosts toward a 12-4 spurt the rest of the half, capped by a Vorst transition layup at 27.2 seconds, to lead 20-11. St. Marys had pushed their zone defense out farther to 3/4-court as the game wore on (doing more trapping out of it) and it began to take more of a toll on the Jays in the third period, forcing six of their 19 miscues. Fortunately for the home team, they forced five of the Roughriders 22 for the afternoon in the same period. Thus, the closest the visitors could get was three points twice before a single by Reagan Aller with 55.8 ticks on the clock put them down 24-20. A 4:12 drought to commence the fourth doomed the Roughriders as the Jays slowly put more distance between the units. The Jays hit 6-of-10 singles in the finale (9-of-20 overall for 45%) to seal the deal. St. Marys finished with 6-of-13 free throws for 46.2 percent. Kelsey Rohrbach led the board work with seven, adding three steals, and Angstmann

The Jays then went on a 19-play drive aided by a pass interference on the Flyers that took 8:06 off the clock and reached the Flyer 1 at one point. On 4th-and-goal at the 4, junior quarterback Nick Martz (4-of-12 passing, 27 yards), under pressure all night by the blitzing Flyer D, threw an incompletion with 5:30 remaining. We came a long way this year. During Elida week to open the season, we didnt know what we had, Schulte added. Even when we were 2-4, the kids kept coming back to practice, working hard and trying to get better. That shows the type of character these kids have they couldnt have packed it in then and what we have in our program; Im proud of these guys for that. We won a few games in a row and that got our confidence going but we just ran into a great team tonight. The Flyers then ran out the clock and set up the chance to go for their seventh State title and the first Division VII championship. This was the Jacy of old; we really havent seen this much this year because of injuries and the brace on his knee, which no back likes to run with, Goodwin added. Our offensive line was getting off the ball from what I could see. What has helped this year is our depth; we had some injuries but we have guys that stepped in. Sometimes you have that, some years you dont.

Ten plays later, Green who wasnt slowed by a hip pointer sustained during the Bengals first drive split the defense for an easy touchdown, with safety Eric Weddle and cornerback Marcus Gilchrist only able to watch. Obviously, they jacked the coverage up a little bit and missed assignments in the middle and it worked out well for us, said Dalton, who added that the Bengals power running game helped set up that play. Dalton joined Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks to start their careers with three straight 3,000-yard seasons. Dalton was 14-of-23 for 190 yards, giving him 3,144 for the season. On the Bengals next drive, Andrew Hawkins caught a short pass from Dalton on third-and-2 from the Bengals 18 and raced 50 yards to the San Diego 32, where he was pushed out of bounds. The Bengals settled for Mike Nugents 46-yard field goal for a 17-7 lead. The Bengals appeared to be driving for a score that would have put away the game but BenJarvus Green-Ellis fumbled when he was hit by Gilchrist. Weddle recovered and returned it 27 yards to the San Diego 43. The drive stalled and Nick Novak kicked a 48-yard field goal to pull to 17-10 with 4:43 left. www.edwardjones.com A personal foul against Johnnie Troutman after the field goal forced the Chargers to kick off from their 20 and Brandon Tate 24 yards to the Bengals 34 and Cincinnati ran out In returned a SafeitPlace. the clock.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I sweat heavily, day and night. With summer here, Im desperate. Im in my 70s, well past menopause. D E A R R E A D E R : Doctors call excessive sweating hyperhidrosis. It is not a rare problem, and Ive treated many patients for it. In every case, they waited a long time before talking about the problem. Thats because they thought it was such a trivial issue that they didnt want to waste the doctors time. Hyperhidrosis is not trivial. Excessive sweating can dampen your social life and interfere with work. Some people with hyperhidrosis sweat through their clothing two or three times a day. Fortunately, there are several ways to treat it. Why do we need to sweat? Our body tries to keep its inside temperature constant, at around 98.6 degrees F. When, because of exercise or hot weather, we start to heat up, our body needs to lose heat.
Excessive sweating has several treatment options

When we sweat, the evaporation of sweat from our skin causes the loss of heat. How do we sweat? Sweat is made by little glands under the skin -- little sacs that fill with fluid, and then release that fluid through a little pore or channel to spill out on the surface of the skin. The type of sweat glands called eccrine glands are activated by signals from the brain. Those signals travel through nerves to your skin. The nerve endings release a chemical called acetylcholine. People with hyperhidrosis are overly sensitive to acetylcholine. In response, they produce much more sweat than average. In most cases, excessive sweating isnt dangerous; its simply embarrassing and inconvenient. But thats reason enough to want to do something about it. Treatments for hyperhidrosis include the following: -Topical antiperspirants are effective for underarms as well as hands and

feet. Look for a preparation containing an aluminum salt, such as aluminum chloride. The more salt the antiperspirant contains, the longer it will work. If o v e r- t h e - c o u n t e r antiperspirants arent strong enough, try a prescription-strength preparation. -- In iontophoresis, your hands or feet are submerged in lukewarm water for 20 to 30 minutes while a mild electric current is passed through the water. This appears to temporarily block sweat glands. As many as 10 initial sessions usually are required to stop sweating. These are followed by weekly maintenance sessions. This procedure can also be used on

underarms. -- Botulinum toxin A (Botox) injections are FDA-approved for underarm hyperhidrosis and are also effective for hands and feet. Multiple injections are required. Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine in the nerve endings. This prevents the nerve cells from communicating with sweat glands. -- Some doctors prescribe oral medications that reduce the activity of acetylcholine. But acetylcholine has many functions in the body, so these drugs can have many side effects. -- If your problem is severe and other options dont work, you may need to consider surgery to remove the affected sweat glands.

Answer to Puzzle
Q: What is the origin of the phrase dog days of summer? -- T.E., Redondo Beach, Calif. A: Today we recognize the dog days of summer as the hottest days of the year -- days in which dogs find shade and pant the day away. According to The Old Farmers Almanac, the traditional dog days are the 40 days beginning July 3 and ending Aug. 11, coinciding with the rising of Sirius. The term has been around for a long time -- at least as far back as 70 B.C. Romans believed that the Dog Star, which is the brightest star in the sky, worked in combination with the sun to produce the hot days of summer. Q: How often is the Eiffel Tower in Paris painted? How long does it take? -- R.B., Stuart, Fla. A: The Eiffel Tower was constructed in 1889 and has been painted every seven years since. It takes 25 painters roughly 18 months to apply over 60 tons of paint. Each repainting campaign uses 5,000 sanding disks, 1,500 sets of work clothes and 1,500 brushes. The painters are not allowed to use rollers or paint sprayers. The tower has three sections, and each is painted a slightly different tone. The darkest paint is used at the bottom and the lightest shade at the top. Q: Richard Beymer starred in the movie West Side Story with Natalie Wood. What became of him after that film? -- E.S.J., San Juan, Puerto Rico A: George Richard Beymer Jr. was born in Avoca, Iowa, in 1938. He was only 12 when he appeared in a Los Angeles childrens show. At 14, he was in his first movie. He was in several more films before landing the role of Tony in the 1961 film West Side Story. In 1963, he enrolled in New Yorks Actors Studio but dropped out to participate in a civil rights movement rally in Mississippi. He was involved in an awardwinning documentary of that struggle. Fans of Twin Peaks will remember Beymer as the villain, Benjamin Horne. He resides in Fairfield, Iowa, where he makes movies, writes, paints and has developed a passion for photography.

Record crowds over weekend, but spending declined

NEW YORK (AP) Did stores shoot themselves in the foot? Target, Macys and other retailers offered holiday discounts in early November and opened stores on Thanksgiving Day. It was an effort to attract shoppers before Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that traditionally kicks off the holiday shopping season. Those tactics drew bigger crowds, but failed to motivate Americans to spend. A record 141 million people were expected to shop in stores and online over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend that ended Sunday, up from last years 137 million, according to the results of a survey of nearly 4,500 shoppers conducted for The National Retail Federation. But total spending is expected to fall for the first time ever since the trade group began tracking it in 2006, according to the survey that was released on Sunday. Over the four days, spending fell an estimated 2.9 percent to $57.4 billion.

NEW YORK (AP) A New York City commuter train rounding a riverside curve derailed Sunday, killing four people and injuring more than 60 in a crash that threw some riders from toppling cars and swiftly raised questions about whether excessive speed, mechanical problems or human error could have played a role. Some of the roughly 150 passengers on the early-morning Metro-North train from Poughkeepsie to Manhattan were jolted from sleep around 7:20 a.m. to screams and the frightening sensation of their compartment rolling over on a bend in the Bronx where the Hudson and Harlem rivers meet. When the motion stopped, all seven cars and the locomotive had lurched off the rails, and the lead car was only inches from the water. It was the latest accident in a troubled year for the nations second-biggest commuter railroad,

which had never experienced passenger death in an accident in its 31-year history. Joel Zaritsky was dozing as he traveled to a dental convention aboard the train. He woke up to feel his car overturning several times. Then I saw the gravel coming at me, and I heard people screaming, he told The Associated Press, holding his bloody right hand. There was smoke everywhere and debris. People were thrown to the other side of the train. In their efforts to find passengers, rescuers shattered windows, searched nearby woods and waters and used pneumatic jacks and air bags to peer under wreckage. Crews planned to bring in cranes during the night to right the overturned cars on the slight chance anyone might still be underneath, National Transportation Safety Board member Earl Weener said.

She admitted that there is more to come, hinting about a business expansion project that will likely be announced in the next 30 days, and several other announcements which could be coming soon. One Ohio restaurateur is looking closely at sites on the south and north sides of Van Wert. And there is a lot of interest from persons wanting to begin a business. The entrepreneur fair has been successful, Leis said. We get calls on a regular basis from people wanting to start a business. Another source is the state. JobsOhio submit leads to the County ED office and Leis looks for facilities which would fit the requirements submitted by a company. On this day, a lead has been sent to the office looking for office and manufacturing space for an international corporation. Just a quick glance at the requirements and Leis has two buildings in mind that
should meet the requirements being put forward by that company. This one may have kind of been an easier one but we get these and they are really trying to match this company with exactly what they are searching for, Leis explained. We may never hear back or the state may never even hear back but this gives the company a chance to get what they desire. We have about seven of these leads that are active right now. Patience is a must in economic development. At present Leis is hoping to make at least one announcement next week, but delays can often pop up. The Van Wert Super Site has seen plenty of delays but is now just days away from finishing phase two of the certification process. Utility work and the railroad spur are almost completed. The third and final stage should be completed in the new few months. We have had site consultants out to see the site and they have been very
happy with it. Leis stated. And the state has already invested millions of dollars in it; theyre not going to forget about it. Leis main focus this year has been to work with and service the larger employers in the county. She keeps track of local jobs figures by contacting the top 30 employers in the county rather than simply depend on the state figures which do not even scratch the surface of real job situations in the county. And those numbers have improved in the past year, although the increases have not always hit the headlines. The next few months could have several newsworthy announcements, hinted Leis. However, the work is going on every day to keep Van Wert County residents on the job and to bring in new jobs. Leis summarized, From our perspective here in this office is just to stay with our priorities of jobs and retention of current businesses and attracting businesses.

Also new this year are old-fashioned Christmas carolers, including the Cavalier Carolers and the Jester Roving Players. They will stroll the streets singing Christmas carols and spreading Christmas cheer while wearing old-fashioned clothing. Holiday performances by Dancer by Gina and Hearts in Motion dance studios will also highlight the evening. They are two very talented dance companies and are always a crowd pleaser.
