VAN WERT When John
Wanner took responsibilities two
years ago as executive director of
the West Central Ohio Chapter of
Youth for Christ, he took on the task
of eventually initiating Campus Life
programs in 16 area schools.
Not only is Wanner in charge of
developing programs in the Van Wert
County schools, he is also responsible
for other counties such as Mercer,
Auglaize and the western half of
Allen County.
Our goal in each school is keep-
ing relationships positive and to
be God-honoring, God-fearing and
keeping God at the forefront, said
Wanner. Our ultimate goal is to
share the life-changing message of
Jesus Christ from person to person.
The first thing I did when I got
into Van Wert was contact youth
pastors and churches to ask them
how things were going in this area.
We talked about how we could work
together to support each other in
reaching area young people.
One new aspect of the program is
area youth leaders getting together
once a month to plan things together.
One outgrowth has been the Kingdom
Basketball Association. Last year
there were 12 teams involving 100
boys.
Each time we had a tournament
we presented God, said Wanner.
So far, weve had 17 boys accept
Christ.
Wanner started his ministry with
Youth for Christ when he was 24
years old. He had been employed
with a plumbing concern in Berne,
Ind., and had all of the licenses neces-
sary to carry out a career as plumber.
I felt called out of there. I felt like
God was calling me into Youth for
Christ, said Wanner. I felt like God
was leading me to Youth for Christ.
I had no education. The only experi-
ence I had with young people was
coaching track and pee-wee football.
I was living on Water Street in
Berne and I moved to the office
in Bluffton, continued Wanner,
who is supported in ministry by his
wife, Lisa. I started in 1995; I was
employed by the local regional Youth
for Christ for 17 years, 10 years as
Campus Life director at South Adams
High School and seven years as exec-
utive director of the organization.
Wanner said that he was delighted
with the support he received when he
came to Van Wert County. He found
himself surrounded by individuals
such as Jane Jerome, who knew all
of the donors and supporters in the
organization. These are great people
here. They really care about kids,
said Wanner. Its nice to have a great
title but theres a lot work out there
to do.
Wanner began by starting a local
Campus Life at Parkway. At that
school, he invests time in young
people during lunch and after school.
What Youth for Christ does is as
good as anybody, continued Wanner.
Its all about relationships, all about
kids and giving them guidance. Last
year, two kids lost parents and we
were there for them. They were so
meaningful with the way they con-
nected with us during that time.
We plan all kinds of activities.
Kids have fun and we point them to
Christ.
Wanners next big task is working
with someone to open up Campus
Life at Van Wert High School.
That is our next target, to get
somebody to take over Van Wert.
Our goal is to start a new school each
year, observed Wanner. Its a tough
world out there. We want kids to
know about Gods love and how He
can help them face lifes challenges.
People are starting to call and say,
how can I help out. We are trying
to form lifelong relationships with
this community and the people of our
area.
Mostly sunny
today with
patchy fog
this morning.
Highs in the
upper 70s.
Mostly clear tonight until
midnight and then a chance
of showers. Lows in the
mid 50s. See page 2.

A 2014 report pub-
lished in The Journal of the
American Medical Association,
Prevalence of Childhood and
Adult Obesity in the United
States, 2011-2012, details that
35.1 percent of all adults (close
to 79 million) 33.7 percent
men and 36.5 percent woman
aged 20 and older are obese.
Statistics from the report
indicate women aged 40-59
have the highest obesity rates
with blacks at 58.6 percent,
Hispanics at 51.9 percent and
whites at 36.3 percent. Among
men, the highest obesity rates
are prevalent with 20-39-year-
old Hispanics at 42 percent,
followed by 40-59-year-old
whites at 41.1 percent and
blacks at 39.9 percent.
The Healthy People 2020
national health target is to
reduce the proportion of adults
aged 20 and older who are
obese to 30.5 percent.
In 2010, the Lima-Allen
County Regional Planning
Commission reported 37.3
percent of Allen County adults
aged 20 and older were obese.
According to the Allen County
Community Needs Assessment
in 2009, 77 percent of Allen
County adults were overweight
or obese, an increase of 9.6 per-
cent from 2002 (67.4 percent).
Allen County Public
Healths Creating Healthy
Communities Program
Coordinator Monica Harnish
said she recommends people
make changes to their food
habits and to the foods served
at parties and other events.
Make small changes to food
habits so that the healthy choice
is a default choice, Harnish said.
For example, carry a water bot-
tle so that water is a first choice
instead of sugary drinks.
She said other small chang-
es include using a smaller plate
rather than a large one, always
putting food on a plate or in a
bowl instead of eating out of a
bag and making half the food
on the plate consist of fruits and
vegetables.
The second recommenda-
tion - changing food at parties
or events - is harder but just
as important, Harnish stated.
The foods that are served typi-
cally arent the best for waist-
lines - pop or other sweet drinks,
chips and snacks and desserts -
and if guests are attending an
event, make it a practice to have
choices that arent loaded with
sugar or fat, such as serving ice
water, veggie snacks with hum-
mus dip, grilled vegetables and
fresh fruit.
35 percent of Americans are obese

Al-Qaida leader warns
of revenge for airstrikes
BEIRUT (AP) The leader of al-Qaidas Syria affiliate
vowed Sunday that his group would use all possible means to
fight back against airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition and warned
that the conflict would reach Western countries joining the alli-
ance.
The U.S. views the affiliate, known as the Nusra Front, as a
terrorist group, but Syrian rebels have long seen it as a potent
ally against both the Islamic State extremist group -- which is the
main target of the coalition -- and Syrian President Bashar Assads
forces.
Syrian rebels, activists and analysts have warned that targeting
the Nusra Front will inject more chaos into the Syrian conflict and
indirectly help Assad by striking one of his main adversaries. The
U.S. insists it wants Assad to step down, but is not targeting his
forces, which are best placed to benefit from the airstrikes.
In a 25-minute audio recording, Nusra Front leader Abu
Mohammed al-Golani portrayed the U.S.-led coalition as a
Crusader alliance against Sunni Muslims and vowed to fight
back.
We will use all that we have to defend the people of Syria...
from the Crusader alliance, al-Golani said. And we will use
all possible means to achieve this end, he said, without offering
more details.
He went on to warn Western countries against taking part in the
alliance in words that echoed those of the late founder of al-Qaida,
Osama bin Laden.
This is what will cause the battle to be transported to the
hearts of your own homes; because Muslims will not stand idly by
and watch Muslims be bombed and killed in their countries, while
you are safe on your countries. The price of war will not be paid
by your leaders alone. You will pay the biggest price, he said.
The recording appeared genuine and corresponded with
Associated Press reporting.
The United States and five Arab allies launched an air cam-
paign against Islamic State fighters in Syria on Tuesday with the
aim of ultimately crushing the extremist group, which has created
a proto-state spanning the Syria-Iraq border. The U.S. has been
carrying out airstrikes against the group in neighboring Iraq since
August.

Township to hold
special meeting today
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
MARION TOWNSHIP
The Marion Township trustees
held their regularly scheduled
meeting on Sept. 22 with the
following members pres-
ent: Jerry Gilden and Joseph
Youngpeter.
The purpose of the meet-
ing was to pay bills and con-
duct ongoing business. The
minutes of the previous meet-
ing were read and approved
as read. The trustees then
reviewed the bills and gave
approval for 18 checks total-
ing $50,078.42.
Don Bertke from Asphalt
Systems was present to show
the trustees a new product
they are offering.
Road Foreman Elwer
reported the road and sign
inventories for September
have been completed.
Fiscal Officer Kimmet
advised the trustees he
received a letter from the
Governmental Accounting
System acknowledging and
thanking the Township for
their input on the letter that
was sent to them.
He also made them aware
of a variance request at 4497
Redd Road.
Trustee Youngpeter
received a call from Wilmer
Good regarding a tile he
replaced along McBride
Road. Road Foreman Elwer
checked with the county and
the Townships share was
okay, at which time Trustee
Youngpeter made a motion
to pay, which was seconded
by Trustee Gilden and passed
unanimously.
A special meeting will be
held at 8 a.m. today at the
Marion Township office.
There being no further
business, Trustee Youngpeter
made a motion to adjourn
which was seconded by
Trustee Gilden and passed
unanimously.
Man who raised $55K for
potato salad throws party
COLUMBUS (AP) An Ohio man who
raised $55,000 in a joking crowdfunding
appeal to pay for his first attempt at mak-
ing potato salad threw a huge public party
Saturday that promised peace, love and
potato salad.
PotatoStock 2014 was held in downtown
Columbus and featured bands, food trucks,
beer vendors and, yes, plenty of potato
salad. With more than 3,000 pounds of pota-
toes, the charity-minded party was open to
people of all ages.
Zack Brown had jokingly sought $10
on Kickstarter in July to buy potato salad
ingredients, but his mission drew global
attention and earned tens of thousands of
dollars.
The Idaho Potato Commission and cor-
porate sponsors donated potato salad sup-
plies for the party.
Brown is partnering with the Columbus
Foundation to support charities that fight
hunger and homelessness. The account
started with $20,000 in post-campaign cor-
porate donations and will grow after pro-
ceeds from PotatoStock are added.
His fund will have potential way after
this potato salad is forgotten, Lisa Jolley,
the foundations director of donors and
development, told The Columbus Dispatch.
Brown told the newspaper that he intends
to do the most good that I can.
Goodyear aims to use rice husk byproduct in tires
CLEVELAND (AP) One of the
worlds biggest tire manufacturers
is taking another step toward more
environmentally friendly production
by incorporating a byproduct created
by the burning of rice husks into a
material used in high-end tires.
Akron-based Goodyear is embrac-
ing a technology that converts the ash
that remains from burned rice husks
into silica, which has been used in tire
production for two decades.
When silica is added to a tire
tread recipe, it helps reduce tires
road resistance, a phenomenon that
causes vehicle engines to work harder
and consume more fuel. Low-rolling
resistance tires made with silica also
grip wet road surfaces better.
Goodyears efforts to reduce the
amount of rice husk ash entering the
waste stream will be modest given that
between 700 million and 800 million
tons of rice is harvested each year.
About 20 percent of a rice kernel
is the inedible husk. Some larger rice
mills have installed plants to burn
husks to generate electricity, produc-
ing ash that is rich in silica.
Goodyear is working with compa-
nies in Asia to eventually process tens
of thousands of tons of silica from
rice husk ash.
Its a start, said Goodyears
Surendra Chawla, senior director
of external science and technology.
Hopefully it will grow over time.
Most silica for tires is produced
by incinerating sand at around 2,500
degrees Fahrenheit. Chawla said rice
husk ash can be converted into usable
silica for tires at only 212 degrees, which
he called an economic advantage.
Goodyear is not the only tire man-
ufacturer or industry exploring
the use of silica from rice husk ash.
Dave Zanzig, Goodyears director
of global material science, said its
hoped there would be momentum
throughout the tire industry to use
silica from rice husk ash.
There is a concentrated effort
underway in the tire industry to
reduce its considerable carbon foot-
print. Chawla said the ultimate goal
is to manufacture tires using only
renewable resources.
Dan Zielinski, a spokesman for the
Rubber Manufacturing Association,
cautioned that while its important
that the tire industry find alterna-
tive materials for petroleum-based
products, the primary concerns when
making changes to tires are still per-
formance, durability and especially
safety. It can take years of research to
make change, but its key that those
changes have no negative effects,
Zielinski said.
Tire treads are composed primar-
ily of natural and synthetic rubber,
carbon black and oil. Those last three
ingredients are petroleum-based,
which has led manufacturers to
explore the use of greener substitutes.
Silica, for examples, reduces the
amount of carbon black the mate-
rial that gives tires their color but
increases production costs.
Goodyear has been exploring the
use of soybean oil instead of petro-
leum products and replacing syn-
thetic rubber with a more eco-friendly
substance called BioIsoprene.
But it appears the biggest innova-
tion for manufacturers in the near
term will be production of tires that
remain inflated at their proper pres-
sure. Studies have shown that under-
and over-inflated tires are the biggest
cause of the road resistance that robs
vehicles of fuel mileage.
Marion aims to keep popcorn legacy despite job loss
MARION (AP) From the back seat of the 1965
Mercedes-Benz convertible, Charlie Evers smiled and
waved, celebrating all things popcorn as grand marshal
of this months Marion Popcorn Festival parade.
He also wrestled with the irony of a celebration
and city linked to popcorn when ConAgra had
announced just weeks before that it was eliminating
all 170 of its popcorn jobs in Marion County.
We shipped more popcorn out of here than
anywhere in the country, said Evers, a local radio
personality. Its rather puzzling right now. Since
were losing our popcorn production, what are we
going to do now for the popcorn festival?
Some people think that Marion, hobbled by
manufacturing losses in the 1980s, cant afford any
more hits to its economy or its image. The con-
nection to popcorn, they say, might be tangential
to daily life but is important to the city of 37,000
that calls itself the Popcorn Capital of the World.
Its a real tragedy, not only economically, but
in the spirit and the image for the people, said
Elaine Peterson of Wooster, who was visiting the
Wyandot Popcorn Museum in the center of town.
ConAgra is closing its Marion plant on Oct. 10,
eliminating 146 jobs, and a second plant in Morral
in Marion County, where 24 people work, next year.
Both make Orville Redenbacher microwave popcorn.
Kenneth Lengieza, planning director for the Marion
City/County Regional Planning Commission, dis-
misses the impact on the regions identity.
It was great to have them here but that
would be like, if one car manufacturer left, it would
blow the whole legacy of Detroit, he said.
Marions popcorn image gained traction in
1981 with its first festival. But popcorn production
existed long before that.
The Wyandot Popcorn Co. was founded in
southern Wyandot County in 1936 and moved to
Marion in the 1940s.
For just a few cents, you could get a bag of pop-
corn and with butter; you felt like you got something
really good. It was just a treat in a very down time in
American history, said Karen Herr, publicity chair-
woman for the popcorn festival and the director of
Marion Downtown, which promotes the city.
Wyandot became the worlds leading exporter
of popcorn, shipping to 75 countries. World War II
soldiers passing through town on troop trains were
handed popcorn balls.
Focusing on other snack foods, Wyandot sold
its raw-popcorn-processing operation in
1989, about the time ConAgra came to
town. Wyandot still sends out two semi-
truckloads of kettle corn daily, about 10
percent of its snack-food production,
said Don Mount, vice president of sales.
But Marions manufacturing legacy is
more than popcorn.
It included the Marion Steam Shovel
Co. (later Marion Power Shovel), which
closed in the 1970s. The company pro-
duced as much as 80 percent of the
nations steam shovels and earth-moving equipment.
The digging of the Panama Canal and transport of
NASAs Saturn V rockets were notable projects.
Today, the town is still home to Whirlpool Corp.,
one of the worlds largest makers of clothes dryers,
as well as other industries. And it is the place Warren
G. Harding, the nations 29th president, called home.
But city leaders wanted something palatable to
build their festival around, Herr said. They looked
at all the things about their history. When they got
to popcorn, they decided it was a festival food.
At least for a weekend, the event is something to
brag about, said Michelle Rotuno-Johnson, author
of the recently published The Marion Popcorn
Festival, a Fun-Filled History.
I think its an important event because Marion
has struggled and gives itself a bad reputation. If I
hear negative stuff about Marion, its usually com-
ing from residents, Rotuno-Johnson said.
State providing help
for grandparents
raising kids
HAMILTON (AP)
There is extra help available
for Ohio grandparents and
great-grandparents who find
themselves caring for another
generation of children.
The Hamilton-Middletown
Journal-News reported recent-
ly that the states Kinship
Permanency Incentive pro-
gram began in 2006. Ohio Job
and Family Services spokes-
man Benjamin Johnson says it
provides $3.5 million-$4 mil-
lion each year to some 7,000
children to help with the costs
of caring for them.
Kinship care is when a rela-
tive or other adult has taken over
full-time care of a child whose
parents are unable or unwilling.
There are some 86,000
grandparents acting as primary
caregivers for children in Ohio,
according to Kinship Care Ohio.
Support groups and other
resources also are available.
It preserves family ties
and provides the child with a
sense of family support, said
Melissa Ruffner, who acts as
kinship navigator for Butler
County in southwest Ohio.
She is also co-president of
the Ohio Grandparent/Kinship
Coalition.

Rode/Looser
WASHINGTON (AP) The government granted six
movie and television production companies permission to use
drones for filming, an important step toward greater use of the
technology by commercial operators, Transportation Secretary
Anthony Foxx announced Thursday.
Dozens of other industries are lined up to follow Hollywoods
lead. Until now, the Federal Aviation Administration, which is
part of the Transportation Department, had banned commer-
cial drone operations with the exception of a lone oil company
in Alaska.
The FAA permits come with limitations, including that the
unmanned aircraft be used only in a restricted area, that they
be flown under 400 feet in altitude and that flights last no more
than 30 minutes at a time. Nighttime flights are prohibited,
and reality television shows or other unscripted events wont
qualify for the permits.
Todays announcement is a significant milestone in broad-
ening commercial (drone) use while ensuring we maintain our
world-class safety record in all forms of flight, Foxx said.
These companies are blazing a trail that others are already
following, offering the promise of new advances in agriculture
and utility safety and maintenance.
Tony Carmean, a partner in Aerial MOB of San Diego, pre-
dicted drones will fundamentally change moviemaking, pro-
viding directors with the ability to get shots they could never
get before and making films more dynamic. Small drones with
video cameras will be able to fly through a building and in and
out of windows, for example, he said. They are also far less
expensive than hiring a manned helicopter, he said.
Major movie studios want their hands on this right away,
but have held off using the technology until the FAA gives the
go-ahead, he said.
Brendan Schulman, a New York attorney who represents
several drone operators and interest groups that have chal-
lenged the FAAs drone restrictions, said he is concerned that
limitations attached to the drone permits may be so onerous
that their benefits will be outweighed by the cost and the
headache of complying.
Im worried that its too small a step forward and its too
narrowly limited, he said.
Kenneth Quinn, an attorney with Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw
Pittman and a former FAA general counsel, said he expects
other industries to oppose some of restrictions imposed on the
movie drones, especially requirements that the drone operator
have a private pilots license and that there be a three-man
crew. He said any risk to safety is too small to merit the restric-
tions.
The FAA is considering 40 requests for exemptions from
other commercial entities. Congress and industries that want
to use or sell the technology have been pressuring the FAA to
relax its ban. Companies want to use drones to monitor pipe-
lines, inspect the undersides of oil platforms and bridges, and
spray crops. Amazon and Google want to use them to deliver
packages. Wedding videographers, real estate agents, journal-
ists and many others are clamoring to use them as well.
The only previous FAA permit for commercial drone oper-
ations was granted to the Conoco Phillips oil company, which
has flown two kinds of unmanned aircraft in unpopulated
areas of Alaska and over the Arctic Ocean with significant
limitations on their use.
But the commercial drone ban is being undermined daily.
Many operators see no harm in flying small, lightweight drones,
often no bigger than a backpack, despite FAA warnings that
they could collide with manned aircraft or injure people on the
ground. Even a congressman who is a member of the House
committee that oversees the FAA, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney,
D-N.Y., hired a photographer to produce a video of his wedding
using a camera mounted on a small drone.
In 2012, Congress directed the FAA to safely integrate
drones of all sizes, from high-flying Global Hawks to small
quadrocopters weighing no more than a few pounds, into
the national airspace. But the agency has missed several
milestones and isnt expected to meet Congress deadline of
October 2015 for full integration.
Drones for moviemaking win FAA approval
The Equalizer debuts with $35M
NEW YORK (AP) Flexing his
star power, Denzel Washington led the
thriller The Equalizer to a $35 mil-
lion debut, according to studio estimates
Sunday.
The Sony-Columbia Pictures release
dominated the weekend box office, sur-
passing some expectations for the film.
Washington plays a former commando
living a quiet life in Boston when the
disappearance of a prostitute acquain-
tance (Chloe Grace Moretz) lures him
into a battle with the Russian mafia.
The strong opening marks the third-
best debut in Washingtons career,
trailing only 2012s Safe House
($40.1 million) and 2007s American
Gangster ($43.6 million). Washington,
who will turn 60 in December, has been
one of Hollywoods most reliable draws
without the benefit of anything like a
superhero franchise.
Hes the very model of box-office
consistency, said Paul Dergarabedian,
senior media analyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak. I cant think of another star
thats this consistent, that remains this rock
solid over the course of three decades.
The Equalizer reteams Washington
with director Antoine Fuqua, who
helmed 2001s Training Day. That
film memorably earned Washington an
Oscar for best actor. A sequel to The
Equalizer, which is loosely based on the
80s CBS series, is already in develop-
ment.
We feel like we have a real oppor-
tunity with a sequel and a possible fran-
chise with this film, said Rory Bruer,
head of distribution for Sony.
Last weekends top performer, the
young-adult novel adaptation The
Maze Runner, starring Dylan OBrien,
slid to second with $17.5 million in its
second week. The 20th Century Fox
release also has a sequel in the works,
due out next September
The stop-motion animated release
The Boxtrolls opened in third place
with $17.3 million. Its the best open-
ing yet for Laika, the Oregon-based
animation studio whose previous films
are the Oscar-nominated Coraline and
ParaNorman.
Critics have been less enthusiastic
about The Boxtrolls, about a boy
whos raised by nocturnal, box-wearing
critters beneath the British village of
Cheesebridge. But the Focus Features
release capitalized on the relative dearth
of family-friendly options in theaters
over recent months.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday
through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian
theaters, according to Rentrak. Where
available, the latest international num-
bers are also included. Final domestic
figures will be released today.
1. The Equalizer, $35 million
($17.8 million international).
2. The Maze Runner, $17.5 million
3. The Boxtrolls, $17.2 million

Clooney marries human rights lawyer in Venice
ANDREW MEDICHINI
Associated Press
VENICE, Italy George
Clooney married human rights
lawyer Amal Alamuddin
Saturday, the actors repre-
sentative said, out of sight of
pursuing paparazzi and ador-
ing crowds.
A smiling Clooney trav-
eled up the spectacular Grand
Canal to his wedding stand-
ing coolly aboard a water-
taxi, waving to hundreds of
well-wishers on shore and
a flotilla of photographers
chasing a glimpse of his final
moments of bachelorhood.
With the pink sunset cast-
ing a gleam on Venices most
picturesque canal, Clooney
rubbed his hands in sweet
anticipation and disappeared
into the luxury Aman hotels
tent-covered pier, where
celebrity friends including
Cindy Crawford and Matt
Damon had passed moments
earlier.
The bride was nowhere to
be seen.
Clooneys long-time rep-
resentative Stan Rosenfield
announced in one sentence
some 2 hours later that the
wedding had taken place. It is
expected to be the only com-
munication on the much-antici-
pated marriage of the actor who
long reigned as Hollywoods
most-eligible bachelor.
Clooney and friends
had coolly sipped cham-
pagne before at the five-star
Cipriani hotel before forming
a procession to the Aman that
included Damon, Crawford,
her husband Rande Gerber
and Bill Murray from the
five-star Cipriani hotel oppo-
site St. Marks Square up the
Grand Canal to the luxury
Aman Hotel.
Crawford wore a purple
floor-length halter dress;
Clooney and the other men
were all dressed in tuxedos.
En route, Clooneys boat
was momentarily blocked
by a passing cruise-liner and
then by a water bus, giving
time for dozens of boats car-
rying photographers to catch
up. A police boat swerved
in vain to try to keep the
paparazzi away.
The star, standing in front
of the taxi, maintained his
ever-relaxed demeanor and
waved to hundreds of peo-
ple who crowded the arched
Accademia bridge, canal
banks and passing water taxis
to see the Hollywood star
before he took the plunge he
long vowed never to take.
Alamuddin was last seen
publicly on Friday riding a
water-taxi down the Grand
Canal with Clooneys arm
resting comfortably around
her. The bride, wearing a bold
black-and-white striped Dolce
& Gabbana dress, beamed.
Clooney, 53, and
Alamuddin, 36, who were
engaged in April, have not
publicly divulged details of
the weekend-long celebra-
tions leaving plenty open
to speculation.
Venice city officials have
announced the closure of a
50-meter (yard) length of
pedestrian way along the
Grand Canal near the 16th-
century Cavalli Palace, used
for civil marriage ceremo-
nies, for two hours today,
citing the Clooney nuptials.
The Cavalli Palace is just
opposite the Aman hotel.
Media have speculated
that the couple will have
two ceremonies one on
Saturday followed by a civil
ceremony today.
Clooney started the day
Saturday relaxing over cof-
fee with Crawford and her
husband on the Cipriani hotel
terrace, seemingly unfazed
by photographers hovering in
boats off-shore.
Cipriani staff formed a
protective barrier blocking
the view of Clooney and his
guests, but then Clooney
apparently waved them away.
The actor even interacted
briefly with the paparazzi.
After someone yelled
Is this really happening,
George? the actor feigned
looking at a watch on his bare
wrist and yelled back: Yeah,
right now.
Clooney had vowed he
would never marry again fol-
lowing his 1989-93 marriage
to Talia Balsam. He dated a
series of models and actress-
es that made his love life
tabloid fodder, until meeting
his match in Alamuddin.
Venice is perhaps a natural
setting for Clooneys wed-
ding. The star owns a villa on
Lake Como north of Milan,
feels at home in Italy and is
a frequent visitor to Venice,
often to promote his films at
the Venice Film Festival.
Government takes
on the Internet
WASHINGTON (AP)
Should the company that
supplies your Internet access
be allowed to cut deals with
online services such as Netflix,
Amazon or YouTube to move
their content faster?
The Federal Communications
Commission is tackling that
question this fall after the pub-
lic submitted a record 3.7 mil-
lion comments on the subject
more than double the number
filed with the regulatory agency
after Janet Jacksons infamous
wardrobe malfunction at the
2004 Super Bowl.
The FCCs chairman, former
industry lobbyist and venture
capitalist Tom Wheeler, says
financial arrangements between
broadband providers and con-
tent sites might be OK so long
as the agreement is commer-
cially reasonable and compa-
nies disclose publicly how they
prioritize Internet traffic.
But not everyone agrees,
with Netflix and much of the
public accusing the FCC of
handing the Internet over to
the highest bidders.
If Comcast and Time
Warner who already have
a virtual monopoly on Internet
service have the abil-
ity to manage and manipu-
late Internet speeds and access
to benefit their own bottom
line, they will be able to fil-
ter content and alter the user
experience, said Barbara Ann
Luttrell, 26, of Atlanta, in a
recent submission to the FCC.
The major cable and telecom-
munications companies that sup-
ply most of the nations broad-
band say blocking or discriminat-
ing against content would never
be in their best interest commer-
cially. But, some industry officials
say, data hogs like Netflix might
need to bear some of the cost of
handling heavy traffic.
Why should everyone
subsidize fans of House of
Cards? asked Michael
Powell of the National Cable
and Telecommunications
Association, a lobbying arm
of the cable industry, referring
to the popular Netflix series.
The question is how far
the government should go to
protect net neutrality
the popular idea that Internet
service providers shouldnt
manipulate or slow data mov-
ing across its networks. As
long as content isnt against
the law, such as child pornog-
raphy or pirated music, a file
or video posted on one site
will load generally at the same
speed as a similarly sized file
or video on another site.

LadyCats 3rd at own CC invitational
BY CHARLIE WARNIMONT
news@delphosherald.com
KALIDA With their top seven run-
ners in action Saturday morning, Kalidas
girls cross country team turned in a strong
effort at the Kalida Fish and Game Club.
At full strength for the first time
in two weeks, the LadyCats ran to a
third-place finish at their own Wildcat
Invitational. Kalida finished third with 97
points, just one point in front of fourth-
place Bluffton (98). St. Marys won the
girls race with 35 points and Napoleon
was the runner-up with 52 points.
On the boys side, Kalida finished
eighth with 211 points. Wapakoneta won
the boys team trophy with 53 points and
Napoleon was second with 85.
Elida competed in the meet but did
not have a full boys or girls team.
Kalida was led by Katelyn Siebeneck
as she finished fourth in 20:30.13. Kelly
Doepker finished 12th in 21:15.43, while
Kristen Fortman was 31st in 23:37.29.
Mikki Smith was 33rd in 23:52.62 and
Becca Brinkman was 37th in 23:59.95.
Our girls team ran well today, a lot of
PRs today. To finish in third place is just
great in the tough field, Kalida coach
Scott Miller said. We are one of the
smallest schools here and its a difficult
race, but the girls did great and I was glad
to see that. We had our number-3 runner
back today for the first time in two weeks
(injury), so that was a big plus for the
team. We are near the end of the season,
so its good to have everyone back.
Elidas Alyssa Turrentine finished
11th in 21:14.90 and teammate Tori
Bowen was 22nd in 22:24.51.
Lima Central Catholics Emily
Sreenan won the individual title as she
ran away from the field posting a win-
ning time of 19:06.4.
Elidas Gaerid Zeller was the top
local runner on the boys side finishing
15th in 18:03.92. Eric Anthony was 54th
in 19:24.0 for the Bulldogs.
Grant Zeller led the Kalida boys Saturday
with a 16th-place finish in 18:04.71, Adam
von der Embse was 20th in 18:11.07 and
Caleb Siebeneck was 51st in 19:15.31.
The boys ran really well today but we
were missing our number-3 runner today,
Miller said. We finished eighth out of 13
and when you take your number-3 runner
out with the depth we have it hurts. Still we
had a lot of PRs today and if we have every-
one today we might finish a little better.
Alex Rigg of LCC won the boys race
in 16:29.58.
Elida is in the Allen County
Invitational Tuesday, as is Kalida at the
Putnam County Invitational.

Grove brooms Continental in PCL volleyball
By DAVE BONINSEGNA
COLUMBUS GROVE The Columbus Grove Lady Bulldogs
volleyball squad went into their Saturday morning match with the
Continental Pirates still in the hunt for a Putnam County League
title but the guests had playing the role of spoilers in mind.
Continental fell behind 8-1 in the first set and came back to
tie the set at 13-13 but the hosts were able to hang on for a 25-20
win and swept the next two 25-11 and 25-6 to come away with
the 3-set win at The Dog House.
Carlee McCluer was 20-of-22 in serving, tossing four aces and
putting across three kills. Hope Schroeder had nine kills, while
Jade Clement served up a near-perfect day, going 18-of-19 with a
pair of aces, adding 14 assists.
Continental got off to a good start in set number two by gaining
a 4-1 lead on three hitting errors by the home team. However, the
Bulldogs took a 8-7 lead on a kill by Schroeder and never looked
back. Grove went on a 19-2 run on their way to a 14-point victory
culminated on a set-ending kill by Briana Glass (16 assists).
The Bulldogs (13-3, 3-1 PCL) set the tone early in set num-
ber three: Schroeder and Kristin Wynn (7 blocks, 9 kills) and
Schroeder collected four kills each as the hosts took 10 of the first
11 points and 20 of the first 22. A 21-1 run in the set dominated
the scoring as Columbus Grove cruised with Mady Vorhees (9
kills) ending the matched with a rocket to the Continental side
of the court.
Columbus Groves lone PCL loss was to the Leipsic Vikings;
the Dogs still have Pandora-Gilboa and Kalida to play in League
play.
Sydney McCluer added six digs.
The Lady Bulldogs also won the junior varsity match 25-11,
25-6.
Grove visits St. Johns 5:30 p.m. today.
Six in a row: Lady Tigers take VW Invite yet again
BY JIM COX
VAN WERT Tall
and talented, Versailles
won Saturdays Van Wert
Volleyball Invitational.
It was the Lady Tigers
sixth straight Van Wert
Invite championship and
they did it decisively. Led
by 6-2 senior Lauren Bruns,
Versailles swept to wins over
Shawnee (25-19, 25-11),
New Bremen (25-11, 25-15)
and New Knoxville (25-18,
25-20). Bruns, a power threat
from anywhere on the court,
had plenty of support in 6-2
senior lefty Christa Puthoff,
5-11 senior Taylor Winner,
and 6-0 freshman Danielle
Winner.
The eight teams were
seeded according to their
won/lost records at the time
the pairings were announced
several days ago. Once-
beaten Versailles, the states
top-ranked team in Division
III, was the first seed. The
other seven teams, in order of
seeding, were Van Wert, New
Knoxville, New Bremen, St.
Marys, Kalida, Elida and
Shawnee. It turned out that
the three Midwest Athletic
Conference teams finished
1-2-3 in the tournament.
Host Van Wert (now
11-6) played well
considering that the
Cougars were with-
out four senior start-
ers Alexis Dowdy
(broken leg), Amanda Coplin
(mononucleosis), Saige
Royer (college visit) and,
other than their first match,
Alexa Dunlap (family wed-
ding). The Cougars won their
first round match with Elida,
25-19, 25-16, before losing
to New Knoxville, 25-15,
25-14, and a surprisingly
close match to New Bremen,
25-20, 22-25, 25-22.
I thought my team played
very well overall, said Van
Wert coach Vicki
Smith. We had a dif-
ferent lineup every
game because we
started with one, then
we lost a player (Dunlap),
then we had to regroup. Some
seniors stepped up and some
underclassmen stepped up. I
was really proud of them. Its
like were starting our season
right now because we have a
new lineup.

REDS 4, PIRATES 1
CINCINNATI After a
day of too much Johnny Cueto,
the Pittsburgh Pirates finally
knew where they were going.
Home. For the playoffs.
Cueto singled in the go-
ahead run and got his 20th vic-
tory on Sunday, a 4-1 win that
gave the NL Central title to the
St. Louis Cardinals and forced
Pittsburgh to settle for a wild
card for the second straight
season.
Pittsburgh needed to
beat the Reds and have the
Cardinals lose later in the day
at Arizona to pull even for first
place and set up a one-game
tie-breaker today. Instead,
Cueto (20-9) settled the
division race with eight
impressive innings and
an up-the-middle single.
When they saw that
theyd clinched, the
Cardinals celebrated in the
dugout and made wholesale
changes to their starting line-
up, including resting scheduled
starter Adam Wainwright for
the playoffs.
The Pirates will head home
to play the Giants at PNC Park
on Wednesday, with the win-
ner facing the Nationals in
the division series.
Pittsburgh also hosted
the wild-card game
last year and beat the
Reds before losing to
the Cardinals, so the
Pirates know what to expect.
Manager Clint Hurdle indi-
cated Edinson Volquez likely will
start the playoff game, although
he declined to make it official.
Volquez (13-7) has allowed only
four earned runs and 16 hits in his
last five starts at PNC Park span-
ning 34 2/3 innings.
Jason Bourgeois opened the
eighth with a triple off Tony
Wilson (10-2). One out later,
Cueto came to bat, worked the
count full and singled through
a drawn-in infield for a 2-1
lead, pumping his fist as he
reached first base.
Kristopher Negron added a
2-run homer off Justin Wilson.
Lady Lancers knock off Jays on pitch
By JIM METCALFE

RURAL MIDDLE POINT
Lincolnview junior Autumn Proctor
scored with 12:04 left in the match to
lead the Lady Lancers to a 2-1 Western
Ohio Soccer League girls tussle Saturday
morning at Lincolnview High School.
With the tournament draw in a couple
of weeks, both coaches are looking to be
peaking at the right time.
I liked that we were shooting the
ball on frame. Even though many of
them were right at the keeper, thats
still an improvement for us offensive-
ly; I want them to take those shots,
even if they arent necessarily with
a lot of force, Lady Blue Jay coach
Katrina Smith. Were looking at the big pic-
ture here and the girls are starting to see that,
too. Thats why I felt our communication
was good, our teamwork was better and we
took some steps today. Were happy that we
got better; thats the goal every practice and
every match. We arent peaking yet, either;
you dont want to peak too early.
Lincolnview head man Mark McCleery
was also pleased with his teams effort.
It was a nice win. We did a lot of things
well today, the coach said. I thought our
defense did a nice job of limiting their
quality shots, especially from in close or
with a lot of space to maneuver. We
focus on jamming up the middle and
marking up defensively; if we give up
shots, we want them to come from
the wings and further out because
the angles are better for the keeper.
Maddie did a nice job in goal for us and it
allows us to play Julia (Thatcher) in the field;
she gives us another scorer up front and can
take pressure off Hannah (McCleery), so
teams cant focus just on her.
The Lancers (4-7-1) scored first
at the 31:00 on a goal by the senior
McCleery, who put the ball past Lady
Blue Jay senior goalkeeper Sam Wehri
(5 saves versus 10 shots). On a free
ball in front of the net, she simply beat
the keeper to the orb and knocked it home.
The Jays (2-8-2) knotted the score at
14:15 as sophomore Carleigh Ankerman
beat freshman keeper Gorman (12 saves
versus 14 shots). On a scramble in front
of the net, Ankermans kick deflected off
a defender and past the keeper.
The Jays had a prime chance to take the
lead at 37:10 of the second half as Ankerman
had a good look from the left side but the
keeper deflected the 10-yarder; a defender
kicked the ball out of danger. Gorman went
out for 11:59 of the half after being injured
on that flurry, with normal senior keeper
Thatcher (1 save vs. 1 shot) step-
ping in.
The hosts nearly went up 2-1
at 16:44 when McCleery tried
from 20 yards on the left post but
it went just over the crossbar.
At 12:04, the Lancers got the match-win-
ner. Just outside the box, freshman Trinitey
Brown slipped a pass forward to McCleery,
who beat Wehri to the ball and slipped a
10-yarder under the keeper from the middle.
The Jays had a couple of chances
in the final 11 minutes: at 10:52, when
freshman Lucy Bonifas tried from 12
yards but Gorman denied it; and at 2:59,
whe Ankermans 16-yarder on the left
side was just wide to that side.
The final chance came as the horn
sounded when a desperate 17-yarder by
sophomore Maria Giambruno-Fuge was
harmlessly wide right.
The Lancers almost sealed it at 6:30 when
McCleery got a free kick from the middle of
the arc but missed just over the top.
Lincolnview hosts Ada 5 p.m. today.
St. Johns entertains Lima Central
Catholic 5 p.m. Thursday in its final
home match of 2014.

Gordon wins at Dover in Chase elimination race
By DAN GELSTON
Associated Press
DOVER, Del. Jeff Gordon doused
Team Penskes hot streak with a cham-
pagne bath in Victory Lane.
Sticky and sweet, Gordon had secured
an emphatic automatic spot in the next
round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup
Championship.
But Gordons entry in the field of
12 was all but guaranteed even before
he dominated the closing laps Sunday
at Dover International Speedway. What
wasnt so sure was that
Hendrick Motorsports
teammate Kasey Kahne
was coming along for the
ride.
Kahne survived a bumpy 400 miles,
falling four laps back before rallying for
a 20th-place finish to nab the 12th and
final spot in the field.
Kasey made it a pretty long day,
owner Rick Hendrick said. We were
watching the monitor at the end of the
race hoping that we didnt have a cau-
tion and Jeff could win it and Kasey
could get in. I didnt know
exactly how close it was going
to be until I watched that mon-
itor.
NASCAR tried to inject its 10-race
Chase format with a revamped formula
for crowning a champion this season.
Under NASCARs elimination format,
four drivers will be knocked out after
every third race. Dover marked the third
race.
That meant plenty of nerves all
around the track and tons of score-
board watching.

Europe wins the Ryder Cup again
Associated Press
GLENEAGLES, Scotland The tone was set by Rory
McIlroy, the best player in the world. The winning shot came
from Jamie Donaldson, a Ryder Cup rookie.
Europe added another layer to its Ryder Cup dominance on
Sunday by leaving no doubt who had the best team, if not the
best players. Behind two early comebacks that showed
its resolve, Europe clinched the cup with four matches
still on the course.
With a 16-11 victory, Europe kept that gold tro-
phy for the eighth time in the last 10 tries.
McIlroy played some of his best golf this year
even for a guy who won the last two majors by
trouncing Rickie Fowler to put the first point on the
board. Donaldson finished off the Americans with a 9-iron that
settled 18 inches from the cup on the 15th hole at Gleneagles
and set off the celebration.
It came down to me to close it out, Donaldson said. But
its all about the team.
That concept appeared lost on the Americans.
Not long after the closing ceremony, Phil Mickelson said
the Americans have strayed from the winning formula at
Valhalla in 2008 under Paul Azinger their only victory in
these matches dating to 1999. Even with U.S. captain Tom
Watson sitting six seats away, Mickelson said that
American team was invested in each other, which was
different from Watsons style of doing it his way.
It was an awkward way to end another bad week for
the Americans in the Ryder Cup.
Watson defended his philosophy, though he con-
ceded he might have erred in using some players who
were too tired, leading to a 10-6 deficit going into
Sunday singles.
The bottom line is they kicked our butts, Watson said.
They were better players this week.
Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. Frank
Gore caught a career-best 55-yard touch-
down and ran for 119 yards in his first
100-yard game this year, leading the San
Francisco 49ers past Philadelphia 26-21
on Sunday to hand the Eagles their first
loss.
The 49ers delivered a late goal-line
stand as they avoided their first 3-game
losing streak under fourth-year coach
Jim Harbaugh, containing the leagues
top passer in Nick Foles. He threw two
incomplete passes from the 1 in the
waning moments.
On a day the 49ers (2-2) gave up
big plays on special teams, Gore came
through. Colin Kaepernick also threw a
touchdown pass to Stevie Johnson and
Phil Dawson kicked four field goals.
Darren Sproles had a career-best
82-yard punt return for a touchdown,
Malcom Jenkins ran an interception 53
yards for a score for the Eagles (3-1).
Brad Smith recovered a blocked punt
for a TD.
Buccaneers 27, Steelers 24
PITTSBURGH Mike Glennon hit a diving Vincent
Jackson for a 5-yard touchdown with 7 seconds remain-
ing to lift Tampa Bay to a stunning win.
The Buccaneers (1-3) lost to Atlanta by six
touchdowns a week ago but bounced back.
Glennon passed for 302 yards in his first start of
the season, including a 41-yard catch-and-run
by Louis Murphy that set up Jacksons score.
Ben Roethlisberger passed for 314 yards
and three touchdowns but Pittsburgh (2-2)
couldnt protect a 7-point lead in the fourth quarter.
Antonio Brown caught seven passes for 131 yards
and two scores and Heath Miller added a career-high
nine grabs.
The Steelers committed 13 penalties for 125 yards.
Ravens 38, Panthers 10
BALTIMORE Steve Smith punished his for-
mer team with seven catches for 139 yards and two
touchdowns. Smith spent 13 seasons with Carolina
before he was released in a cost-cutting move during
the offseason. The 35-year-old receiver showed the
Panthers he can still make the big play, scoring twice in
the second quarter to help put Baltimore (3-1) in front
21-7 at halftime.
The first touchdown came when Smith grabbed a
pass that deflected off the right hand of teammate Owen
Daniels. He caught the ball in stride and took it into the
end zone to complete a 61-yard play.
Smith also scored from 21 yards with a diving
reception.
Joe Flacco went 22-of-31 for 327 yards and three
touchdowns, the other a 24-yarder to Torrey Smith.
Carolina (2-2) has lost two straight, both in lopsided
fashion against AFC North foes.
Packers 38, Bears 17
CHICAGO Aaron Rodgers threw for 302 yards
and four touchdowns and the Packers shook off
one of their worst offensive performances in years.
The Packers (2-2) scored on their first six
possessions to build a 38-17 lead. They racked up
358 yards after being held to 223, their lowest total
since 2008, a week earlier in a 19-7 loss at Detroit.
They intercepted Jay Cutler twice in the third
quarter to pull away from the Bears (2-2). That
gave Green Bay five straight wins at Soldier Field,
including the NFC title game four years ago and a
playoffs-or-bust finale for both teams last season.
Chargers 33, Jaguars 14
SAN DIEGO Philip Rivers threw for 377 yards
and three touchdowns, two to Eddie Royal.
Royal had scoring catches of 47 and 43 yards, his
second straight 2-touchdown game. The Chargers (3-1)
extended their winning streak to three.
Passing because the Chargers running game is
nonexistent due to injuries to Ryan Mathews and Danny
Woodhead, Rivers had his second 3-touchdown game
of the season. He went 29-of-39.
Royal had five catches for 105 yards. Keenan Allen
had 10 for 135, both career highs, and Malcom Floyd
had a 24-yard touchdown catch.
Rookie Blake Bortles made his first start for the
Jaguars (0-4), threw one touchdown pass, was inter-
cepted twice and twice had Jacksonville in the lead in
the first half.

Against Elida, the Cougars trailed
throughout the early going of the first set
before catching up at 13-13, 14-14, 15-15.
Two kills by senior McKenzie Collins, a
service ace by junior Landrie Koontz and
a Bulldog double hit on a serve receive
got Van Wert a 19-15 lead. Elida got
within three points at 19-16, 20-17, 21-18,
22-19 before two kills by Koontz and a
Lady Dog net violation ended the set. The
second set wasnt nearly as close. After
breaking a 2-2 tie, Van Wert led the rest of
the way against the error-prone Bulldogs.
Against Elida, sophomore Emma Kohn
and Koontz led Van Wert in kills with
seven and six. Senior Riley Jones had 16
digs. Sophomores Megan Spray and Peyton
Fleming led in assists with 12 and 10.
If Van Werts first round opponent was
error-prone, its semifinal foe was nearly
error proof. It would be hard to find a
team that makes fewer mistakes than Van
Wert does but New Knoxville may be
one of them. In a match filled with great
defensive plays by both teams, the Lady
Rangers never trailed in the first set and
the Cougars only second-set leads were at
1-0, 2-0, and 2-1. New Knoxville, though
not as tall as Versailles, has three 5-10
players and the Rangers had too much
power for Van Wert.
Collins and Fleming had seven and five
kills, respectively, against the Rangers.
Collins had 17 digs. Jones and Spray had
seven assists apiece.
The third-place match with New
Bremen was the Cougars highlight of the
day. The heavily-favored Cardinals never
trailed in the first set but after rolling up
some 5-point leads early, they could never
pull away. In fact, Van Wert came back to
forge ties at 16-16 and 17-17 before New
Bremens 6-1 junior, Devon Heitkamp,
took charge to end the set. The second
set was exciting from beginning to end
with 11 ties and seven lead changes. At
22-22, Van Wert got kills from sophomore
Cassidy Sinning and Koontz, sandwiched
around an errant kill try by Heitkamp, end-
ing the set. The third set, too, was a tight
one but New Bremen took the lead for
good at 9-8 and gradually pushed it up to
five at 21-16. Back came the feisty hosts,
though, with Koontz leading a 4-0 charge
to get within one at 21-20. Kills by junior
Kaitlyn Ahrns, senior Stephanie Brandt,
and Heitkamp finished it off, however.
Kohn, Koontz, and Collins were the
Cougars kill leaders against the Cardinals
with seven, six and six. Jones and Collins
had 17 and 14 digs, respectively. Spray
and Fleming were tops in assists with 10
and 12.
After the first match, Van Wert had
only eight players in uniform. The two
remaining starting seniors, Collins and
Jones, along with junior Koontz, were,
as usual, nearly error proof, but it was
the surprising sophomores Sinning,
Kohn, Spray and Fleming who kept the
Cougars competitive against the top-notch
competition.
Leading the effort were for Elida in its
25-13, 25-15 loss to Kalida were Aubrey
Williams (5 kills), Summer Grogg (3 kills,
5 digs), Karmyn Martinez (6 digs), Erin
Bowman (6 assists) and Katie Hawk (5
assists, 4 digs).
In the Dawgs loss to the host Lady
Cougars, Grogg (7 kills, 7 digs) was the
pace-setter, along with Martinez (9 digs),
Bowman (10 assists, 8 digs), Megan Tracy
(6 kills, 5 digs) and Emily Bowman (9
digs).
The Orange and Blacks toughest
match was against Shawnee: a 25-22,
10-25, 25-19 loss.
Hawk had 18 assists, 10 digs and two
aces to pace the effort, along with Grogg
(10 kills, 10 digs, 2 aces), Williams (12
kills, 5 digs, 2 aces), Martinez (19 digs)
and Emily Bowman (9 digs).
Elida hosts Kenton 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Summary:
First round: Van Wert (#2 seed) over Elida (#7
seed) 25-19, 25-16. New Knoxville (#3) over Kalida (#6)
25-13, 25-9. Versailles (#1) over Shawnee (#8) 25-19,

Cueto gave up six hits in
eight innings, including Neil
Walkers homer, as he became
the first Reds pitcher to win 20
games since Danny Jackson in
1988. Hes the first Reds right-
hander to win 20 since 1965,
when Sammy Ellis and Jim
Maloney did it.
Aroldis Chapman pitched
the ninth for his 36th save in
38 chances.
The Pirates went all-out to
try to win the game, start-
ing Gerrit Cole their best
September pitcher instead
of saving him for the play-
offs. Cole did his part, giving
up one run and six hits in
seven innings and matching his
career high with 12 strikeouts.
After talking with team
leaders, Hurdle decided to stay
with his starting pitching align-
ment for the playoffs. That
meant stick with Cole, who
had won his last four starts.
INDIANS 7, RAYS 2
CLEVELAND As
Michael Brantley headed
toward the clubhouse door
and offseason carrying his
belongings in a blue duffel
bag, Clevelands All-Star out-
fielder didnt look up at a TV
showing Detroits champagne-
soaked celebration of another
AL Central title.
This wasnt the way
Brantley or the Indians thought
it would end shy of October.
Failing to build off their
wild-card appearance in 2013,
the Indians completed an
unfulfilling season with
a 7-2 win over the Tampa
Bay Rays on Sunday.
Cleveland was done in
by too many errors, inju-
ries, an inconsistent offense
and sub-par years from
Nick Swisher and Jason
Kipnis, two highly-paid
players that were counted on.
Rookie Zach Walters and
Carlos Santana each drove in
two runs as the Indians fin-
ished 85-77, a 7-win drop from
a year ago.
For manager Terry
Francona, the finality of his
second season in Cleveland
brought mixed emotions. There
was disappointment tinged
with some jealousy toward the
teams moving on.
Walters and Murphy
hit solo second-inning
homers off Alex Cobb
(10-9) for the Indians,
who failed to build on
last season when they
hosted Tampa Bay in the
AL wild-card game.
T.J. House (5-3), whose con-
sistency gives Cleveland hope
for the future, gave up Sean
Rodriguezs leadoff homer in the
second but otherwise kept the
ALs lowest-scoring team off the
board. The Indians went 7-0 in
his home starts.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 35-year-old single man.
Three years ago, I took legal custody of my niece
(who is now 8) to prevent her from becoming a
ward of the state. Her parents were drug addicts.
Shortly afterward, my mother moved in to help me
raise her, which is greatly needed and appreciated.
The problem is, I had to dramatically alter my
lifestyle -- no more staying out late on weekends
or impromptu trips to visit college buddies -- and
worst of all, an end to dating.
I used to go out with a lot of women, but I
havent been with anyone in more than two years.
I didnt like the idea of bringing ladies around my
niece whom she might never see again. It was
easier to just give up dating than to deal with her
questions and looks of confusion. She has had
enough instability in her young life, and I didnt
want to add to it.
Now Im starting to get lonely, and Im not sure
how to get back into the dating scene. How would
I explain my living situation to a potential wife: I
have a kid and my mother living with me, and thats
not going to change. Interested?
Abby, any thoughts or suggestions would be
welcomed. -- LONELY BY DESIGN IN WEST
VIRGINIA
DEAR LONELY: Explain your living situation
to the women you meet in much the same way as
you have explained it to me. You are taking care of
your 8-year-old niece with the help of your mother
because if you hadnt stepped up, she would have
become a ward of the state.
Any mature woman who is worth her salt will
respect that, just as I do. Immature women who are
only looking for a good time -- or a meal ticket --
will probably run in the opposite direction, which is
a good thing.
You wont find what youre looking for in bars
as you may have done in the past. You would
probably have better luck if you join a group like
Parents Without Partners or ask some of your
married friends if they know someone nice.

DEAR ABBY: My family and I were watching a
popular annual awards show recently. Like most of
these, this one included an In Memoriam segment
in which was featured a slideshow of the photos and
names of people from the field who had died during
the year.
The segment was well done and very meaningful.
When it was over and the lights went back up, the
audience clapped. My family applauded, too. That
made me feel uncomfortable, so I didnt join in.
What are your thoughts on applause at a memorial
tribute? -- TO CLAP OR NOT TO CLAP
DEAR T.C.O.N.T.C.: Audiences clap for many
reasons -- among them, a spontaneous gesture of
emotion or to show appreciation. (Some may do
it because everyone else is doing it.) However, in
this circumstance, it is not required or prohibited.
As long as the applause is sincere, I think it is
appropriate.

Q: I have such fond memories
of my childhood. I remember
more than once my grandmamma
made something that we ate with
molasses and a spice, maybe
cinnamon, for breakfast. My
memory tells me it looked like
yogurt, but Im not sure. Both my
grandparents are long gone, as
are my parents. Do you have any
idea what it was that I enjoyed so
much? -- T.U., Iowa City, Iowa
A: I talked to several
culinary experts, and they seem
to think you may have had bonny
clabber. Its easy to make: Leave
raw milk on the counter until the
milk solids separate from the
whey, leaving a thick, yogurtlike
consistency.
In Gaelic, bonny clabber is
called bainne clabair. Bainne
means milk; clabair mean sour
milk.
A similar food from France is
called creme fraiche, which you
can often find in desserts.

Q: Do you know how many
peanuts there are in a pound of
peanut M&Ms? -- G.H., Stowe,
Vt.
A: Mars Inc. tells me there
are, on average, 192 candies
per pound, which should mean
192 peanuts. By the way, M&M
stands for Mars and Murrie,
the last names of the candys
founders.
Q: How long were Abbott
and Costello a comedy team?
When did they get their start? --
L.R., Madison, Wis.
A: Bud Abbott and Lou
Costello teamed up in 1935.
Their first radio appearance was
on The Kate Smith Hour in
1938, where they performed their
most famous routine, Whos On
First? After that, they were on a
rocket ride to stardom, destined
to become one of Hollywoods
most successful comedy teams.
In 1957, after 20 years together,
they dissolved their partnership.
Tabloids speculated that there
was bad blood between the two
funnymen. The speculation was
wrong -- it was an amicable split.
William Bud Abbott was 60
years old and wanted a break
from the limelight. Lou Costello
hoped to explore other areas in
the entertainment field.
Two years later, Costello had
a heart attack and died at age 52.
Abbot died of cancer in 1974 at
age 78.
Q: Did the person who
started Weight Watchers need to
lose weight? -- S.P., Salisbury,
Md.
A: In 1961, Jean Nidetch
weighed more than 200 pounds.
She found a diet she liked and
invited some of her overweight
friends to her apartment in the
New York City borough of
Queens to meet and support one
another in losing weight. Nidetch
never thought of it as a business,
but two of her participants
-- Felice and Al Lippert --
convinced her otherwise. In
1963, Weight Watchers became
an incorporated business and
held its first meeting. By the time
Nidetch and the Lipperts decided
to sell the company to H.J. Heinz
Co. in 1978, it fetched about $71
million. As for Nidetch, a year
after starting her meetings, she
lost 70 pounds. She now lives in
a retirement home in Florida.

Trivia
President Barack Obama in 2008 ran
on a campaign pledge to protect net
neutrality, and in 2010, the FCC issued a
rule prohibiting providers from blocking
or discriminating against content.
But in January, a federal appeals
court agreed with Verizon that the FCC
did not technically have the authority to
tell broadband providers how to manage
their networks. The decision overturned
important parts of the 2010 rule.
By then, the FCC had a new chair-
man in Wheeler, who in the early
1980s led the National Cable and
Telecommunications Association, and
later the Cellular Telecommunications
and Internet Association. Obama called
him the Bo Jackson of telecom.
Instead of appealing the courts deci-
sion, regarded as a long shot, Wheeler
proposed in May to prohibit Internet
service providers from blocking content
by applying the Telecommunications
Act of 1996.
But Wheelers plan also left open
the possibility that broadband providers
could charge Netflix and other content
companies for faster, guaranteed access.
Wheeler said he was trying to fol-
low guidelines suggested by the court,
and invited the public to comment on
whether these paid arrangements should
be banned altogether.
The proposal received little attention
until June when following a satire sketch
by HBO comedian John Oliver, the FCC
system temporarily shut down due to
heavy traffic. Since then, public response
continued to rise, with Netflix urging the
public to fight against paid prioritiza-
tion. The FCC comment period ended
Sept. 15 with the record response.
Wheeler has defended his approach as
still upholding the basic principal of net
neutrality because providers wouldnt be
allowed to slow down other content. He
says the FCC could step in if broadband
providers act unreasonably, such as giv-
ing priority access to a subsidiary.
If someone acts to divide the Internet
between haves and have-nots, we
will use every power at our disposal to
stop it, he told industry officials at an
annual convention this year sponsored
by the NCTA.
Internet
Harnish said working on these habits one at a time can put every-
one on the path to better health.
Obesity increases the risk of many diseases and health
conditions including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, can-
cer, hypertension, stroke, liver and gallbladder disease,
respiratory problems and osteoarthritis. Losing weight
and maintaining a healthy weight help to prevent and
control these diseases. Being obese also carries significant
economic costs due to increased healthcare spending and lost
earnings.
According to the Van Wert County Community Health
Assessment in 2011, 38.1 percent of adults living in Van Wert
County are obese and 34.8 percent are overweight. Based on
BMI, 73 percent of the respondents considered themselves
overweight or obese.
Van Wert County Health Departments Director of Nursing
Kim Haas said the obesity and overweight rates are a big issue
for the nation and the state. Haas said 35 percent of the respon-
dents of the health assessment felt they did not eat a balanced
diet. She attributes the number to the cost of a healthier diet
and the busy lifestyles of family life.
People are told to eat more fruits and vegetables not
processed foods but buying healthy foods is much more
expensive and people opt for the less expensive box of maca-
roni and cheese, she said. Families are very busy and they
have moved away from balanced dinners. They are running
kids to extracurricular activities and in between, driving
through and picking up dinner through a fast food restaurants
window.
Haas said lifestyle changes are key.
Walking for 30 minutes 5 days a week is less stressful on
joints and all people need are a pair of good tennis shoes,
she reasoned. Walk around the reservoir or at the YMCA and
when the weather does not permit outside activities, walk at
Walmart.
She said people with hip or knee pain can ride a bicycle
which offers smooth movement. Another option is to get out
and play kickball and being active with children or grandchil-
dren. She said its important for people trying to reduce their
weight to find an activity they enjoy.
Focus on losing 1-2 pounds per week by exercising daily,
making healthier food choices including lean meats, fruits and
vegetables and decreasing the sugar and fatty foods in diets,
she said. Just a 10 percent loss is very helpful in reducing
the risk of the diseases associated with obesity or being over-
weight.

Some of the initial strikes
targeted the Nusra Front, hit-
ting several of its facilities and
killing dozens of its fighters.
Washington said it was try-
ing to take out an al-Qaida
cell known as the Khorasan
Group that was actively plot-
ting attacks against Americans
and Western interests.
Syrian rebels have
expressed anger at the coali-
tion airstrikes, both because
they have targeted the Nusra
Front -- which they see as an
ally -- and because they are not
hitting pro-government forces,
which are the best placed to
benefit from any rolling back
of the Islamic State group. The
Nusra Fronts ultimate goal is
to impose Islamic law in Syria.
But unlike the Islamic State
group, it has fought alongside
other rebel groups, seeing the
overthrow of Assad as its first
priority.
Al-Golani warned the air-
strikes would weaken the reb-
els.
Those of our men who
were targeted in the shelling...
the effect of their loss will be
witnessed by the entire con-
flict, not just on the (Nusra)
Front alone.
The Nusra Front leader also
warned other rebel groups not
to coordinate with the U.S.-
led alliance. Washington has
promised to arm and train more
Syrian rebels to help fight the
Islamic State group.
The al-Golani speech came
hours after the groups spokes-
man warned that Muslims
would attack countries taking
part in the coalition air raids.
Airstrikes
GOP cautions that Senate control would have limits
WASHINGTON (AP) How much differ-
ence will it make if Republicans win the Senate
majority on Nov. 4, joining the GOP-run House
against a Democratic White House?
Congress persistent gridlock is due largely,
but not entirely, to the current power split in
the two chambers. But even if Republicans add
Senate control to their safe House majority, big
legislative roadblocks will remain.
President Barack Obama still can veto leg-
islation.
Should Democrats lose six or more Senate
seats, ceding the majority, they can use the
power of the filibuster to thwart dozens of GOP
initiatives. Republicans have employed this tac-
tic from the minority side.
In the House, House Republicans deep
philosophical divisions will remain. That will
further complicate effort by Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, to pass bills without help
from Democrats, who generally demand signifi-
cant concessions.
In short, conservatives who see Republican
control of both houses of Congress as the path
to repealing the health law, slashing regulations
and other priorities probably will be disap-
pointed.
I think the country will face two more years
of gridlock, said Democrat Ted Strickland
of Ohio, a former congressman and governor
who now is president of the Washington-based
Center for American Progress Action Fund.
At least three Republican senators Marco
Rubio of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand
Paul of Kentucky are considering running
for president in 2016. If the GOP controls the
Senate after Election Day, Strickland said, its
hard to imagine there not being a fight break-
ing out within the Republican family.
Some Republicans are more optimistic. But
even they say that if Republicans are in charge
on Capitol Hill, they may have to play down
conservatives expectations and settle for sym-
bolic victories that highlight their differences
with Democrats.
They have to have an agenda and have
to perform, said GOP Rep. Jack Kingston of
Georgia, who is retiring after 22 years in the
House. The partys conservative base, he said,
is tired of fiery rhetoric yielding scant results.
Republican senators, Kingston said, must be
able to tell voters that we did tax reform, we
did welfare reform, we did spending reform, or
something that shows that there were Republican
fingerprints at governments highest levels.
Obama probably would veto such measures,
Kingston acknowledged.
But making Obama do so will show the
difference between the parties, Kingston said,
and that helps build the case why you need a
Republican president. If nothing else, Kingston
said, Republicans must force Obama to sign
or veto a bill to repeal his 2010 health care
overhaul, a GOP priority that Senate Democrats
have blocked for years.
Obama certainly would veto that effort. But
he would be powerless to stop several other
initiatives.
