PAULDING A dismissal
of the specification on Steven
G. Noffsingers indictment
has changed the nature of his
case so that a death penalty is
no longer an option.
Noffsinger, 58, of Defiance
was indicted in Paulding
County Common Pleas Court
in July for aggravated murder
with a specification indicating
prior calculation and design.
He was arrested this summer
in connection with the 1981
death of his ex-wife, Alma
Noffsinger, in Oakwood. The
cold case was featured on the
TNT series Cold Justice on
Aug. 8.
The recent dismissal
does not change the charges
unclassified felony status but
eliminates the possibility of
the death penalty.
The State filed the motion
for dismissal without preju-
dice. No explanation was
included in their motion,
according to court officials.
Additionally, Noffsingers
attorney filed motions request-
ing the return of his iPad, a
request for bail and release
from jail and a motion for con-
tinuing chiropractic treatment.
The bond request was for
$50,000 cash or surety and
the release would be on the
condition of electronic home
monitoring. He has been held
without bond since his Aug.
1 arrest.
No death penalty

July sales tax falls short of mark
Social Security benefits to go up by 1.7 percent
BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Millions of
older Americans who rely on fed-
eral benefits will get a 1.7 per-
cent increase in their monthly pay-
ments next year, the government
announced Wednesday.
Its the third year in a row the
increase will be less than 2 percent.
The annual cost-of-living adjust-
ment, or COLA, affects payments
to more than 70 million Social
Security recipients, disabled veter-
ans and federal retirees. Thats more
than a fifth of the country.
The increase amounts to about
$20 a month for the typical Social
Security recipient.
The COLA helps beneficiaries
of all ages maintain their standard
of living, keeping many from fall-
ing into poverty by providing partial
protection against inflation, said Jo
Ann Jenkins, who heads AARP.
The government announced the
benefit increase Wednesday, when
it released the latest measure of con-
sumer prices. By law, the increase
is based on inflation, which is well
below historical averages so far this
year.
For example, gasoline prices
have dropped over the past year
while the cost of clothing is up by
less than 1 percent, according to the
September inflation report released
Wednesday.
The cost of meat, fish and eggs
is up by nearly 10 percent, but the
overall cost of food is up just 3.1
percent.
Medical costs, which dispropor-
tionately affect older Americans,
are up 1.9 percent over the past
year.
Congress enacted automatic
increases for Social Security benefi-
ciaries in 1975, when inflation was
high and there was a lot of pressure
to regularly raise benefits.
For the first 35 years, the COLA
was less than 2 percent only three
times. Next year, the COLA will be
less than 2 percent for the fifth time
in six years. This years increase
was 1.5 percent, the year before it
was 1.7 percent.
Social Security is financed by a
12.4 percent payroll tax on the first
$117,000 of a workers wages
half is paid by the worker and half is
paid by the employer. Next year, the
wage cap will increase to $118,500,
the Social Security Administration
said.
About 59 million retirees, dis-
abled workers, spouses and chil-
dren get Social Security benefits.
The average monthly payment is
$1,192.
The COLA also affects benefits
for about 4 million disabled veter-
ans, 2.5 million federal retirees and
their survivors, and more than 8 mil-
lion people who get Supplemental
Security Income, the disability pro-
gram for the poor.
By law, the cost-of-living adjust-
ment is based on the Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, a
broad measure of consumer prices
generated by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. It measures price changes
for food, housing, clothing, trans-
portation, energy, medical care, rec-
reation and education.
The COLA is calculated by
comparing consumer prices in
July, August and September each
year with prices in the same three
months from the previous year.
If prices go up over the course
of the year, benefits go up, start-
ing with payments delivered in
January.
In the last several years we
have had extremely low inflation,
said economist Polina Vlasenko,
a research fellow at the American
Institute for Economic Research.
Basically because inflation is low,
the cost-of-living adjustment is
going to be low, too. Its supposed
to just compensate you for infla-
tion.

Fifty-one-year-old Robert Fishbein was sentenced to five years of community
service on each of six misdemeanors Wednesday in Van Wert County Common
Pleas Court. He will serve the punishments concurrently. The former I&K CEO will
be flown to San Clemente, California for inpatient counseling that specializes in
obsessive behavior and substance-abuse problems. (DHI Media/Ed Gebert)
Fishbein to undergo counseling
for obsessive behavior
BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
VAN WERT A former
Delphos man who worked
as the CEO of a local com-
pany was again sentenced
in Van Wert County Court
of Common Pleas. Robert
Fishbein, 51, was sentenced
to five years of commu-
nity control on six counts
of misdemeanor attempted
violation of a civil protec-
tion order. Fishbein was
given five years of commu-
nity control on each of six
charges but the punishments
are to run concurrently.
Fishbein must serve
out the rest of his former
sentence through Monday
in the Van Wert County
Correctional Facility. After
being released, he will be
flown to San Clemente,
California, to serve and go
through inpatient counsel-
ing at a center there which
specializes in obsessive
behavior and substance-
abuse problems.
Fishbein was charged
in 2011 with harassing a
female former employee
while she was working at
I & K Distributors, where
Fishbein was CEO. The
woman left the compa-
ny after allegedly receiv-
ing severance pay in lieu
of filing a sexual harass-
ment complaint against
Fishbein. The harassment
continued and charges were
filed against Fishbein in
Van Wert Municipal Court.
Afterward, Fishbein report-
edly continued the calls to
the woman and also made a
threat against her if she did
not drop the case.
The Van Wert County
Grand Jury indicted
Fishbein; at the arraignment
hearing, he was told that as
part of the conditions of his
bond, he was not allowed
to use a telephone unsuper-
vised. Minutes later, court
officials saw Fishbein talk-
ing on his cell phone in the
lobby of the courthouse. His
bond was then revoked and
he was taken into custody.
However, he was accused of
continuing to make phone
calls from jail. Fishbein
was even discovered trying
to make a phone call from
prison.
The current charges are
for trying to violate the pro-
tective order while in cus-
tody.

Today is Thursday, Oct. 23, the 296th
day of 2014. There are 69 days left in
the year.
Todays Highlight in History:
On Oct. 23, 1944, the World War II
Battle of Leyte Gulf began, resulting in a
major Allied victory against Japanese forces.
On this date:
In 1707, the first Parliament of Great
Britain, created by the Acts of Union
between England and Scotland, held its
first meeting.
In 1864, forces led by Union
Maj. Gen. Samuel R. Curtis repelled
Confederate Maj. Gen. Sterling Prices
army in the Civil War Battle of Westport
in Missouri.
In 1915, tens of thousands of women
marched in New York City, demanding
the right to vote.
In 1935, mobster Dutch Schultz, 34,
was shot and mortally wounded with
three other men during a gangland hit at
the Palace Chophouse in Newark, New
Jersey. (Schultz died the following day.)
In 1942, during World War II, Britain
launched a major offensive against Axis
forces at El Alamein in Egypt, resulting
in an Allied victory.
In 1954, West Germany was invited to
join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
which it did the following year.
In 1956, a student-sparked revolt
against Hungarys Communist rule
began; as the revolution spread, Soviet
forces started entering the country, and
the uprising was put down within weeks.
In 1972, the musical Pippin opened
on Broadway.
In 1983, 241 U.S. service mem-
bers, most of them Marines, were killed
in a suicide truck-bombing at Beirut
International Airport in Lebanon; a near-
simultaneous attack on French forces
killed 58 paratroopers.
In 1984, BBC Television reported on
the famine in Ethiopia; the story, which
shocked viewers, prompted rock star
Bob Geldof to organize Band Aid, a
group of celebrities who recorded the
song Do They Know Its Christmas?
for charity.
In 1989, 23 people were killed in an
explosion at Phillips Petroleum Co.s
chemical complex in Pasadena, Texas.
In a case that inflamed racial tensions
in Boston, Charles Stuart claimed that
he and his pregnant wife, Carol, had
been shot in their car by a black rob-
ber. (Carol Stuart and her prematurely
delivered baby died; Charles Stuart later
died, an apparent suicide, after he him-
self was implicated.)
In 2002, gunmen seized a crowded
Moscow theater, taking hundreds hos-
tage and threatening to kill their captives
unless the Russian army pulled out of
Chechnya. (Three days later, special
forces stormed the theater; 130 captives
died, along with all 40 gunmen.)

Bank held up at gunpoint
in Antwerp on Wednesday
DHI Media Staff Report
ANTWERP A bank in Antwerp was
the focus of an armed robbery on Wednesday
morning. At around 8:53 a.m., Paulding
County Sheriffs deputies were sent to
GenFed Credit Union in Antwerp.
The investigation shows us two black
males entered the bank with hooded sweat-
shirts and handkerchiefs covering their faces.
One of the subjects did produce a handgun
during the event, stated Paulding County
Sheriff Jason K. Landers. The suspects
might have gotten away with an undisclosed
amount of cash but I am most thankful
none of the employees were injured. The
employees did a remarkable job following
protocol.
A stolen Buick Park Avenue with evi-
dence from the robbery inside was located
in Riverside Park in Antwerp. Surveillance
footage from several sources indicated that
the suspects fled shortly after the robbery
in a grey Chevrolet Impala. Investigators
believe both vehicles are stolen from the
City of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
We continue to work this investiga-
tion, Landers continued. I am extremely
pleased with the cooperation from all agen-
cies involved thus far; from the Antwerp
Police to the FBI and everyone in between.
This has been and will continue to be a team
effort to bring closure to this case.
Anyone with information on this case
are urged to contact the Paulding County
Sheriffs Office at 419-399-3791 or on the
Sheriffs Office Facebook page. Anonymous
tips may also be left at www.pauldingohsher-

Man missing 9 years found dead in car in pond
DELAWARE (AP) A man who disap-
peared after a July Fourth party nine years ago
was found dead in a car pulled from a pond
this week, a sheriffs office said Wednesday.
The coroners office in Franklin County
confirmed the body found in the submerged
car was that of Anthony Tony Luzio Jr.,
Delaware County sheriffs spokeswoman
Tracy Whited said.
The 25-year-old Luzio disappeared on July
4, 2005, after leaving the party. His familys
years of hoping, waiting and wondering ended
Tuesday, when the car hed driven was pulled
from the central Ohio pond.
Luzios father told The Columbus Dispatch
the discovery was bittersweet. He said the
family always had a bit of hope of finding
Luzio but now can put him to rest.
After 9 1/2 years to prepare for this, we
thought we would be ready for the inevi-
table. But it hurts as bad as if it happened
yesterday, said Anthony Luzio Sr., a retired
Columbus police sergeant.
The pond was searched after police officers
identified bodies of water big enough for a
car to go into around where Luzio Jr. was last
seen.
A search company that relies largely on
donations found the car using a small boat
equipped with sonar. It located the car within
minutes of launching the boat.
A fire department diver then went into the
water to confirm it was Luzios car. Members
of the dive team sent their condolences to
the Luzio family and told WCMH-TV in
Columbus they hoped the discovery of the car
and Luzios body would bring some closure.
The car was towed to the sheriffs office to
be examined.
North Korean detainee reunites with family
LARA JAKES
Associated Press
WEST CARROLLTON
(AP) An American arrested
and held for nearly six months
in North Korea for leaving a
Bible at a nightclub returned
home to Ohio on Wednesday
to tears of joy and hugs from
his wife and surprised children.
A plane carrying Jeffrey
Fowle, who was released with
help from a retired diplomat
and former Ohio congressman,
landed Wednesday morning
at Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base, near Dayton, where he
was reunited with his family.
Moments after Fowle
stepped off the plane, his
three children and wife ran
from a nearby airplane han-
gar and shared hugs.
Base Col. John Devillier
said Fowle had a tear-
ful reunion, and that Fowle
seemed thrilled.
We had a great reunion
for an American citizen com-
ing home, he said.
Devillier said Fowles
family hadnt told the chil-
dren why they were being
brought to the base.
The reaction from his
children was priceless,
Devillier said.
The surprise was the work
of Fowles wife, Tatyana,
who only told the children
they werent going to school
Wednesday.
Jeff likes surpris-
es, Tatyana Fowle said
Wednesday afternoon at a
news conference in Moraine.
Jeffrey Fowle stood beside
her and smiled at times, but
he did not make any state-
ments or answer questions.
Tony Hall, a retired diplomat
and former Ohio congressman
who used his connections with
North Korean officials to dis-
cuss Fowles case, said he was
excited about Fowles release.
A lot of people were
involved, he said, but he
declined to name any of the
officials in Pyongyang to
whom he reached out. He
said he was never asked
by either the U.S. or North
Korea to go to Pyongyang on
Fowles behalf.
The Swedish Embassy
in Pyongyang, along with
China and Japan and envoys
from Mongolia, were also
involved, Hall said.
Hall said he got involved
at the request of Fowles fam-
ily and attorney, as well as the
State Department, which led
the push for Fowles release.
So I spent a lot of time com-
municating and trying to use
some of the relations Id built
up over the years, Hall told The
Associated Press on Wednesday.
Outside the familys home
in rural southwest Ohio, fam-
ily attorney Timothy Tepe
said Fowle had been treated
well by the North Korean
government and needed time
to adjust to life at home.
The past 24 hours have
been a whirlwind for Jeff and
his family, Tepe said.
Fowle arrived in North
Korea on April 29 and was
arrested in May for leaving a
Bible at the nightclub, some-
thing Fowle acknowledged
in interviews with the AP.
Christian evangelism is con-
sidered a crime in North Korea.
He had been await-
ing trial the only one of
three Americans held by
Pyongyang who had not been
convicted of charges.
The two others were each
sentenced to years in North
Korean prisons after court
trials that lasted no more
than 90 minutes. The three
Americans entered North
Korea separately.
The Fowle family, despite
their joy, is mindful that two
other Americans continue are
detained by North Korea and
they understand the disap-
pointment their families are
experiencing, Tepe said.
The city of Moraine ter-
minated Fowle last month,
but his job with the street
department is available for
him, Mayor Elaine Allison
said Wednesday. Fowle will
likely go back to work, Tepe
said.

Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that playing
on artificial turf fields can cause cancer?
If so, how can I minimize exposure for my
sports-loving kids?
Melanie Witmer, Syracuse, NY
Just when you thought it was safe to play
soccer on that brand new synthetic turf field,
it may be time to think again. Those little
black dirt-like granules that fill up the space
between synthetic blades of grass and make
up some 90 percent of todays artificial turf
fields are actually ground-up car and truck
tires. As such they contain a host of poten-
tially noxious chemicals that can lead to a
wide range of health problems.
Four of the constituent chemicals in
these tire crumbs (or tire mulch) as
they are calledarsenic, benzene, cadmium
and nickelare deemed carcinogens by the
International Agency for Cancer Research.
Others have been linked to skin, eye and
respiratory irritation, kidney and liver prob-
lems, allergic reactions, nervous systems dis-
orders and developmental delays.
While the risk came to light recently when
a University of Washington womens soccer
coach began to think it might be more than
a coincidence that two of her goalies were
stricken with cancer, researchers have known
about such potential links for years. A 2007
report by the Connecticut-based Environment
& Human Health Inc. (EHHI) looked at sev-
eral scientific studies and found definitive
connections between various health problems
and exposure to synthetic turf.
EHHI also reported that kids on playfields
are likely to face similar risks as line work-
ers in the rubber fabrication and reclamation
industries, where they say health reports show
the presence of multiple volatile organic
hydrocarbons and other toxic elements in the
air. Studies at tire reclamation sites report
leaching of similar sets of chemicals into the
ground water, says the group.
The Synthetic Turf Council, an industry
group, maintains that there is considerable
evidence pointing to the health safety of
synthetic turf. But the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) isnt taking sides,
leaving it up to state and local jurisdictions
to decide whether or not to allow artificial
turf. The EPA would like to see more research
done so parents everywhere can have a better
idea of the risks involved.
Of course, synthetic turf fields arent all
bad. For one, they dont need frequent water-
ing (a grass playing field typically requires
50,000 gallons of water per week during
growing season) and doesnt require the
application of potentially toxic pesticides.
Furthermore, turf is much more durable and
less costly to maintain than grass, and players
suffer fewer injuries on it since it doesnt turn
to slippery mud when wet.
Do these pros outweigh the cons? Some
schools dont think so and are turning back
plans to convert their grass fields to turf.
Where it is too late for that, parents should
warn their little athletes to stay upright as
much as possibleturf-related cancers seem
to be most common in goalies who spend the
most time down on the turf surface. Also, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) recommends that those playing on
synthetic turf avoid eating or drinking on
the field where toxic dust can contaminate
food and liquids, wash their hands and body
aggressively with soap and water afterwards,
and remove clothes worn on the field and turn
them inside out before washing them sepa-
rately from other items.

AGRIBUSINESS
Rains delay corn harvest
BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension Educator
The following article was written by
Dr. Peter Thomison, Allen Geyer and Rich
Minyo with Ohio State University.
Persistent rains have delayed corn har-
vest across the state and are not helping
with field drying. Many growers are delay-
ing harvest until grain moisture drops fur-
ther. However, leaving corn to dry in the
field exposes a crop to unfavorable weather
conditions, as well as wildlife damage. A
crop with weak plant integrity is more vul-
nerable to yield losses from stalk lodging
and ear-drop when weathering conditions
occur. Ear rots may also reduce grain quali-
ty and can lead to significant dockage when
the grain is marketed. Some ear rots pro-
duce mycotoxins, which may cause major
health problems if fed to livestock.
Several years ago we conducted a study
that evaluated effects of four plant popula-
tions (24,000, 30,000, 36,000 and 42,000
plants/A) and three harvest dates (early-mid
October, November and December) on the
agronomic performance of four hybrids
differing in maturity and stalk quality. The
study was conducted at three locations in
northwest, northeast and southwest Ohio
over a three-year period for a total of eight
experiments. Results of this study provide
some insight on yield losses and changes in
grain moisture and stalk quality associated
with delaying harvest. The following are
key findings:
* Results showed that nearly 90 percent
of the yield loss associated with delayed
corn harvest occurred when delays extend-
ed beyond mid-November.
* Grain moisture decreased nearly 6
percent between harvest dates in October
and November. Delaying harvest after early
to mid-November achieved almost no addi-
tional grain drying.
* Higher plant populations resulted
in increased grain yields when harvest
occurred in early to mid-October. When
harvest was delayed until mid-November or
later, corn yields declined at plant popula-
tions above 30,000/acre.
* Hybrids with lower stalk strength rat-
ings exhibited greater stalk rot, lodging
and yield loss when harvest was delayed.
Early harvest of these hybrids eliminated
this effect.
* The greatest increase in stalk rot
incidence came between harvest dates in
October and November. In contrast, stalk
lodging increased most after early-mid
November.
* Harvest delays had little or no effect
on grain quality characteristics such as oil,
protein, starch, and kernel breakage.
In this study, yields averaged across
experiments, populations and hybrids,
decreased about 13 percent between the
October and December harvest dates. Most
of the yield loss, about 11 percent, occurred
after the early-mid November harvest date.
In three of the eight experiments, yield
losses between October and December har-
vest dates ranged from 21-24 percent. In the
other five experiments, yield losses ranged
from 5-12 percent.
Grain moisture content showed a decrease
from the October to November harvest dates
but little or no change beyond the November
harvest dates. Grain moisture, averaged
across experiments, hybrid and plant popu-
lation decreased 6.3 percent between the
October and December harvest dates, with
most of the decrease occurring between
the October and November harvest dates
(5.8 percent); only a 0.5-percent decrease
occurred after early-mid November.
Population effects on grain moisture content
were not consistent. Differences in grain
moisture were evident among hybrids on the
first harvest date in early-mid October but
were generally negligible on the later dates.

ter 2014-36).
A Nutrient Management Certification
(NMC) for NEW Applicators without a
Pesticide Applicator Training (PAT) license
will be held from 6-9 p.m. Nov. 18 at the
Kalida K of C hall. This is a three-hour train-
ing and is required if you apply or broadcast
fertilizer to more than 50 acres of cropland
per year. There is no fee for this training but
you will need to get recertified every three
years. NEW applicators for NMC who do
not have a PAT license cannot attend a PAT/
NMC training and to get certified because
they need a minimum of three hours training
and we only offer two hours training at our
combined PAT/NMC training. (Sorry guys,
I did not make the rules). This is your only
opportunity to get trained in Putnam County
for NMC by itself without a PAT license.
If you already have a PAT license, you
will get three hours of PAT training and
two hours of NMC training and you are not
required to go to New NMC training. Putnam
County Extension will be holding two PAT/
NMC trainings this year: 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Feb.
3 and 4-9 p.m. March 17 at the Kalida K of
C hall. Call the Putnam County Extension
office for more details at 419-523-6294.
Putnam County Agronomy Night is
scheduled for Jan. 22 from 6-9 p.m. at the
Kalida K of C hall.
Soy growers: APH provision a lifeline
for farmers impacted by weather, disasters
WASHINGTON A new provision
included in the 2014 Farm Bill has the
potential to be a lifeline for farmers fol-
lowing crop losses due to severe weather
events and natural disasters, according to
the American Soybean Association.
The Actual Production History Yield
Exclusion, or APH, allows farmers to
exclude yields from exceptionally bad
years, such as those brought on by severe
weather or natural disasters from their
production history when calculating yields
used to establish their crop insurance cov-
erage.
The rollout of the APH program is a
lifesaver for soybean farmers in so many
parts of the country. It quite literally means
the difference between continuing to farm
following disastrous years, and being
forced out of business, said ASA First
Vice President Wade Cowan, who farms
in Brownfield, Texas, and has experienced
significant drought in each of the last four
growing seasons. Weather is the single
biggest external factor in soybean farming.
We have no control over its effects, but with
the APH program, we can better respond to
its impacts.
The APH program is significant given
the formula used to calculate crop insurance
coverage. Producers are able to purchase
coverage based on that farmers average
recent yields. Formerly, a year of bad yields
due to severe weather would reduce the
yield coverage levels available in future
years. Under the APH program included in
the Farm Bill and announced yesterday by
USDA, yields can be excluded from farm
actual production history when the county
average yield for that crop year is at least
50 percent below the 10 previous consecu-
tive crop years average yield. By exclud-
ing exceptionally unusual years, a farmers
overall yield average avoids a dispropor-
tionate reduction.
The APH exclusion, according to Cowan,
takes on additional significance this year,
given the decline in prices for many com-
modities. Without the APH program, pro-
ducers who have suffered severe weather
would face the double-whammy of low
prices and low yield protection, Cowan
said.
According to USDA, spring crops eligi-
ble for APH Yield Exclusion include corn,
soybeans, wheat, cotton, grain sorghum,
rice, barley, canola, sunflowers, peanuts,
and popcorn. Nearly three-fourths of all
acres and liability in the federal crop insur-
ance program will be covered under APH
Yield Exclusion.
Much credit should be given to the
Agriculture Committees for including this
provision in the Farm Bill, and then to
Agriculture Secretary Vilsack and the team
at USDA for rolling out this program for
2015 spring plantings, added Cowan. The
positive effects it will have for farmers, not
only in the Southwest but nationwide, will
be great evidence of its success.

VAN WERT The
Master Gardener Volunteer
(MGV) Program is a nation-
al and international organi-
zation designed to provide
opportunities for gardening
enthusiasts of all types and
levels to acquire training in
numerous aspects of gar-
dening and landscaping, to
develop long-lasting friend-
ships with other MGVs, to
learn from other MGVs and
to provide an outlet for those
who wish to serve their com-
munities through a unique
form of volunteering.
Ohio State University
MGVs work together with
The Ohio State University
Extension to provide such
services to their communi-
ties as answering gardening
questions, beautifying the
community, developing com-
munity or demonstration gar-
dens, and other horticultural
activities.
Applications are being
accepted for the MGV
Training Class of 2015. OSU
MGVs are initially given 50
hours of training on informa-
tion pertaining to gardens,
landscapes, plants, diseases,
insects and more!
But the training does not
stop after the initial train-
ing programs. Opportunities
for many types of continu-
ing education are provided
through multiple
training programs
offered through
OSU Extension
both locally and
statewide.
After the train-
ing class is com-
pleted, new MGV interns are
to provide 50 hours of volun-
teer service to the community
as volunteer educators. Even
though this sounds like a lot
of time, it is not difficult to
fulfill this requirement. In
fact most quickly exceed this
number long before the end
of their first year of service.
Van Wert County
MGVs have developed The
Childrens Garden, located
in Smiley Park on Old Tile
Factory Road in Van Wert
to provide an outdoor learn-
ing lab for children of all
ages. Additional projects
include: an annual plant sale,
semi-annual garden tour,
The Garden of the Senses
in downtown Van Wert and
more.
The Orientation Meeting
for MGV training for Van
Wert County will be held at
6:30 p.m. on Jan. 22 at the

New efforts to ban
tobacco farm child labor
WASHINGTON (AP)
Two years after the Obama
administration backed off a rule
that would have banned children
from dangerous agriculture jobs,
public health advocates and law-
makers are trying anew to get
kids off tobacco farms.
The new efforts were
jumpstarted by a Human
Rights Watch report in May
that said nearly three-quarters
of the children interviewed by
the group reported vomiting,
nausea and headaches while
working on tobacco farms.
Those symptoms are consis-
tent with nicotine poisoning,
often called Green Tobacco
Sickness, which occurs when
workers absorb nicotine
through their skin while han-
dling tobacco plants.
I think that many members
of Congress have been shocked
that children are suffering nic-
otine poisoning from working
in U.S. tobacco fields, said Jo
Becker, Human Rights Watchs
childrens rights advocacy
director. In response, they are
pushing tobacco companies to
adopt stronger child labor poli-
cies, introducing legislation
and urging the Department of
Labor to take action.
The approach includes leg-
islation to ban kids under 18
from working on such farms,
pursuit of a narrower federal
rule than the one that was
scuttled and public pressure
on tobacco companies from
lawmakers and health groups.
There has been some
movement within the indus-
try. This month, the Tobacco
Growers Association of
North Carolina said it does
not condone the use of child
labor and said tobacco
growers and farm labor con-
tractors should not employ
workers under 16 years old.
Philip Morris International,
which limits the type of work
children can do on tobacco farms,
says it would like to see stronger
U.S. regulations in this area.
And the Labor Department
said in a statement that its
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration is working to
determine best practices to
reduce worker exposure to nic-
otine during tobacco harvests.
In 2011, the Labor
Department proposed pre-
venting some children from
working in dangerous farm
jobs, including cultiva-
tion, harvesting and curing
of tobacco. The department
tried to pre-empt a back-
lash from small farmers by
excluding from the rule chil-
dren who worked on their
parents farms.
Nevertheless, the proposal
became a political punching
bag for Republicans, who
called it an impractical, heavy-
handed regulation that ignored
the reality of small farms.
In an election-year deci-
sion, the Labor Department
withdrew the proposed rule
in 2012. In doing so, officials
appeared to close the door on
any action even after the presi-
dential election: To be clear,
this regulation will not be pur-
sued for the duration of the
Obama administration, the
Labor Department said in with-
drawing the rule in April 2012.

Ive lived with anxiety my entire life.
Certain situations can trigger it, although the
generalized anxiety disorder I have can be
triggered without warning, and by anything.
Ive written a lot about my bipolar disorder,
especially the depression, which often goes
hand-in-hand with anxiety. Many people suf-
fer with both.
If you are one of those people who has
been diagnosed with an anxiety or panic
disorder and are always trying to find ways
help yourself, to make life bearable, to make
life good, I recently discovered a wonderful
website that focuses on these issues and has
helped me more than anything else Ive read
on the topic. The URL is anxietynetwork.com.
Ive read numerous articles on this site
and each one has resonated with me in a way
that nothing else Ive read on the topic has. I
dont feel like a freak, or an abnormal person,
or an alone person when I read the articles on
this website. There are so many great, helpful
ways to reduce or eliminate anxiety; Ive got-
ten something out of each article Ive read.
I know that my thoughts are not who I am,
my thoughts arent true when Im in a vicious
cycle of ANTs (automatic negative thoughts).
If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, you
understand what I mean. Everything Ive
read on this site phrases concepts and uses
examples so much differently than any other
book or article has. I now have hope.
If you know someone or have a loved one
with an anxiety disorder, this site would also
be helpful to provide some valuable insight
about what the afflicted go through. Its tor-
ture. We want to get better and to feel better.
This is definitely a place to start.
Check out the site, and begin your road to
recovery.

The NFL in London?
Strawberries and
cream for everybody
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
This item just came over the wire the British gov-
ernment wants a National Football League team based
in London!
We are doomed!
I have not read the article yet so I am giving my opinion
however twisted and devious about this possibility.
On first glance, I say thee nay!
I want the NFL to remain the NATIONAL Football
League.
This is Americas game and lets keep it that way.
Football isnt quite like baseball.
Baseball has become ever more reliant on internation-
al players - Puerto Rico, Japan, the Dominican Republic.
even Cuba.
It makes sense that MLB would be the first major
American professional sports league to go the interna-
tional route as far as adding overseas teams after all,
its title is determined by the winner of the World Series!

NBA owners vote
down lottery reform
By JON KRAWCZYNSKI
Associated Press
NEW YORK NBA
owners have voted down pro-
posed changes to the leagues
draft lottery system, staving
off efforts to curb tanking for
the time being.
The proposal needed 23
votes for approval but only
received 17, with 13 lining
up to vote against it at the
leagues board of governors
meetings on Wednesday.
It was a somewhat sur-
prising turn of events after
appearing earlier in the week
that there was support for
reforms that would make it
more difficult for teams with
the worst records to secure
the top pick in the draft.
AP source: Goodell told to testify in Rice appeal
Associated Press
A person familiar with the case has told
The Associated Press that an arbiter has
ruled that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
should testify in Ray Rices appeal of his
indefinite suspension.
The person spoke on condition of anonym-
ity because details of the appeal have not been
made public.
The arbiter, former U.S. District Judge
Barbara S. Jones, informed the parties of her
decision Wednesday.
Rice was suspended indefinitely
Sept. 8 for violating the NFLs per-
sonal conduct policy after a video of
Rice hitting his then-fiancee in an ele-
vator was released publicly. Goodell
originally had suspended the running
back for two games.
Once the video became public, the
Baltimore Ravens cut Rice, and the league
banned him indefinitely. The league consid-
ered the video to be new evidence, giving
Goodell the authority to further suspend Rice.
The players union appealed Rices suspen-
sion, saying he should not be punished twice.
Jones was jointly picked by the commis-
sioner and the players union.
Request denied to remove judge on
Peterson case
CONROE, Texas A prosecution request
to remove the judge handling the felony child
abuse case against Minnesota Vikings star
Adrian Peterson was denied on Wednesday.
Montgomery County state District Judge
Kelly Case will continue handling the case
following a recusal hearing in which he was
accused of being biased against prosecutors.
Retired Tarrant County District Judge Jeff
Walker, who presided over the recusal hear-
ing, ruled against prosecutors, saying they
had not met the high standards required for
recusing a judge.
Peterson was indicted last month on a
felony charge of injury to a child for using
a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old
son earlier this year in suburban Houston.
Peterson has said he never intended to harm
his son and was only disciplining him in the
same way he had been as a child
growing up in East Texas. He faces up
to two years in prison and a $10,000
fine if convicted.
The All-Pro running back, who
was not at Wednesdays hearing, is on
paid leave from the Vikings.
After the hearing, Montgomery
County First Assistant District
Attorney Phil Grant said prosecutors will now
go forward and prepare for trial. Case has set
a tentative trial date of Dec. 1.
Peterson has pled not guilty and hes
ready to stand trial, Rusty Hardin, his attor-
ney, said after the hearing.
A motion to revoke Petersons $15,000
bond for alleged marijuana use has been on
hold until the issue with Case was resolved.
British government wants an NFL team
in London
LONDON The British government
wants an NFL team based in London.
George Osborne, the British treasury chief,
told the Evening Standard newspaper on
Wednesday that the government will do what-
ever it can to make this happen.

Musketeers, Wildcats advance
to boys soccer District finals
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
KALIDA Whenever
Putnam County League
teams get together for a sport-
ing event, one can expect
tough competition, no matter
the sport, and energetic and
involved partisans.
In Wednesdays Division
III District boys soccer
semifinals at Kalida Soccer
Stadium, that remained true.
Fort Jennings reversed a
regular-season loss and edged
Continental 1-0 in the first
semifinal, while host Kalida
wore down Miller City 3-1
on chilly evening.
The Musketeers (9-5-4)
and Kalida Wildcats (10-2-6)
will match up 1 p.m. Saturday
for a berth in Tuesdays
Regional semifinal.
The first match looked
very much like the first meet-
ing between the Musketeers
and Pirates (11-5-2), a
1-0 Continental win: the
Musketeers dominated the
shots on-goal (21-4) this time
but ran into some tough luck.
After a scoreless halftime
draw, the Musketeers had to
wonder if it was deja vu all over
again. Owning a 14-2 shots
on-goal edge, they had some
serious efforts not connect.
One of the best ones came
at 30:10, when Mark Metzger
off a ricochet got a great
look from eight yards but
was denied on a diving stop
by Pirate netminder Trevor
Williamson (11 saves).
At 28:30, Alex Berelsman
shot from the top of the box
but a leaping Williamson
knocked it off the crossbar
but fell in the process; with
a wide-open goal, Austin
Wisner had a point-blank
header but he hit the bar and a
defender finally cleared it out.
At 13:32, Austin Kehres
launched from the top of
the box but the keeper again
dove to prevent a goal.
Several other times, the
Musketeers had chances at
the goal but defenders were
in the way.
Finally, the Orange and
Black got the match-win-
ner at 10:07. Troy Ricker
got possession on the right
wing and maneuvered in the
box. His 12-yarder hit off a
defender and with the keeper
out, he was unable to prevent
the ricochet from going into
the net inside the right post.
At 3:25, Ricker again got a
great look at an open goal the
keeper had fallen but Derek
Troyer prevented the 12-yarder
from crossing the line.
At 1:08, Kehres knocked
a shot from the top of the arc
and another diving stop was
required by Williamson.
The Pirates had two
efforts in the second half: at
17:19; when Garrett Recker
launched from 30 yards but
netminder Ryan Koester (4
saves) denied it; and at 9:59,
when Koester stymied Zach
Schwarzmans 14-yarder.
The same pattern applied
to the first half as the sec-
ond: Williamson had to be
brilliant to make saves or
defenders were in the way to
clear out clear attempts.
The Musketeers best tries
came at 16:45, when a defend-
er kicked away a 12-yard-
er by Ricker; at 4:50, when
Williamson hit the ground to
deflect a 1-touch 10-yarder
by Ricker; and at 1:42, when
Chad Wurst had an open
28-yarder that Williamson
leapt to knock away.
The Pirates had their two
shots at 22:35, when a free
kick from the right side by
Gabe Williams was snatched;
and at 12:50, when Koester
had to dive to deny a top-of-
the-arc shot by Troyer.
We looked at that first
match and realized that we
had a lot of energy the sec-
ond half, the way we want
to play. We have played that
way the last 10 games or so,
Fort Jennings coach Gregg
Luthman explained. All we
asked of the guys today was
to keep playing with that same
energy and Id say the last 60
minutes was incredible for us
in that regard. We kept win-
ning the balls in the air and the
50/50s.We kept attacking and
pressuring and didnt get frus-
trated when we just couldnt
find the back of the net.

Browns Hoyer takes loss
hard, handles criticism
Associated Press
BEREA From toast of the town to toasted.
Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer has had quite the week.
Praised for his performance in an emotional win at home
last week over Pittsburgh, Hoyer has spent the past few days
under attack most of it coming from fans and media who
feel popular rookie Johnny Manziel should be starting fol-
lowing Sundays 24-6 loss to previously winless Jacksonville.
Hoyer completed just 16 of 41 passes, couldnt get
Clevelands offense moving against an inspired Jaguars
defense and had the worst game of his NFL career.
It was bad, no denying that. But it
wasnt all Hoyers fault, not by a long
stretch. Hoyer was playing behind an
offensive line missing Pro Bowl center
Alex Mack and Jacksonvilles defensive
front was dominant, shutting down the
Browns running game.
Hoyer felt he could have done more and hes been plenty
tough on himself. The 29-year-old understands theres noth-
ing he can do about it now but play better this Sunday against
Oakland.
Hoyer has never taken a loss as poorly, joking that even his
wife, Lauren, couldnt bear to live with him the past few days.
He isnt naive about his situation. Hes in the final year
of his contract; although he has shown signs in nine starts of
developing into the teams franchise QB, nothing is guaran-
teed. Face it, the Browns didnt draft Manziel in the first round
to have him stand on the sideline forever.
Hoyer has been around long enough to know that quarter-
backs can have bad games.
Browns coach Mike Pettine said the team is firmly behind
Hoyer. Pettine and Hoyer have developed a trust in each other,
a bond that began last season when Pettine, then Buffalos
defensive coordinator, wrote a letter to Hoyer after the quarter-
back tore knee ligaments while playing against the Bills.
They are in sync and Hoyer believes that Pettine is being
honest with him. Pettine reiterated that Hoyer didnt get much
help Sunday as the Browns had breakdowns everywhere.
Browns wide receiver Miles Austin said the attacks on
Hoyer are unfair.
Maybe it has helped Hoyer that he knows the psyche of
Cleveland fans. Growing up a Browns fan conditioned him to
understand the quarterback always takes the hits positive
and negative.
Injuries, missteps turn Bengals back into Bungles
CINCINNATI The Bengals won their first three games
and, for a few hours, were the only unbeaten team left in the
NFL. Thats when the free fall started.
Theyve been pushed around in their
last three games, a pair of lopsided losses
on the road and a disappointing tie at
home. Theyve gone from being regard-
ed as an up-and-coming team to one
thats looking more and more like the old
Bungles.
The Bengals (3-2-1) have fallen behind Baltimore (5-2) in
the AFC North and host the Ravens on Sunday. Another loss
would leave the defending division champions in a tough spot
at the seasons midpoint.
No other team has fallen so far in the past month.
Injuries have played a significant factor. The Bengals are
missing tight end Tyler Eifert, receiver Marvin Jones and Pro
Bowl receiver A.J. Green, who was sidelined the last two games
with an injured right toe that has bothered him all season.
Green worked out in sweat clothes on the side of the field
Wednesday, an improvement over last week. Its unclear
when hell be ready to return. He declined to comment on
Wednesday.
The Bengals sorely missed him during a 27-0 loss at
Indianapolis on Sunday, when they failed to cross midfield
until the fourth quarter and ended up shut out for the first time
in five years.
The defense has been missing Pro Bowl middle linebacker
Vontaze Burfict. Hes had two concussions that caused him to
sit out two games and hes had neck injuries in others.
Defensive coordinator Paul Guenther is trying to get Burfict
to stop tackling with his head down, which leads to the head
and neck injuries.
Keselowski not concerned with popularity
By JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Brad Keselowskis refusal to
be pushed around on the race
track has earned him a few
comparisons to the late Dale
Earnhardt.
Its a conversation
Keselowski will not partici-
pate in out of deference to the
Hall of Fame 7-time cham-
pion.
Racing in some ways is
like music you can be
influenced as a band by anoth-
er band, he said. Certainly
there is some influence there.
But Im not that band. Its
flattering with all the success
that (Earnhardt) has had. But
Im not (that) band, Im just
trying to do things my own
way, the best way I know
how.
Keselowski had a roller-
coaster eight days last week
after he tangled on and off
the track at
Charlotte with
Denny Hamlin
and Matt
Kenseth. It earned him a
$50,000 fine from NASCAR,
and dropped him into a must-
win situation Sunday at
Talladega.
He then pulled off a stun-
ning rally by winning at the
Alabama track to avoid elim-
ination in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup Championship.
Keselowski now goes this
weekend to Martinsville
Speedway seeking to
strengthen his bid for a sec-
ond Cup title in three years.
Team owner Roger
Penske surmised that its
Keselowskis
success the
driver has a
series-best six
wins this season and five
poles that has caused jeal-
ousy among his peers. Its
that alleged animosity that
flared at Charlotte, Penske
believes, and he encouraged
Keselowski to just move on.
Kenseth, who jumped
Keselowski from behind
in the garage at Charlotte,
insisted hes not jealous of
Keselowski.
I dont agree with things
that he says or does at times
but I actually really admire
Brads work ethic, how he
got to where he was at. He
got here the old-fashioned
way, working hard, said
Kenseth, noting he used to
see Keselowski working on
his own cars in the garage
as other drivers retreated to
their motorhomes. He works
harder than most people work
at it and tries harder, and
thats a lot of the reason for
his success. Im certainly
not jealous of that. I actually
admire that part of him.
Hackenberg holds key to Ohio State-Penn State game
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS A year after the
worst beating in Penn States highlight-
filled history, the Nittany Lions know
they need to protect quarterback Christian
Hackenberg if they want to avoid another
lopsided loss to Ohio State.
Overall they are a very fast, athletic
defense, Hackenberg said Wednesday.
We just have to continue to execute and
stay on track and limit the negative plays
and try to continue to keep the sticks
moving throughout the game.
They certainly did not do any of that
a year ago.
The Buckeyes sacked him four times
and intercepting him twice in a stunningly
one-sided 63-14 victory over the then-
freshman. It was a seismic defeat for Penn
State the most points surrendered and
the biggest loss in the programs 114 years.
Having followed that script once, they
hope to harass Hackenberg again under
the lights at Beaver Stadium.
Thats going to be a big prior-
ity, Buckeyes linebacker Joshua
Perry said. We saw how that
worked out last year. We got after
him a little bit and we had some
success there, so well see what
we can do against them. I know
our D-lines pretty hungry, so well get
after it.
The Nittany Lions (4-2, 1-2 Big
Ten) must rely on an offensive line that
includes one junior scholarship play-
er (not counting injured senior Miles
Dieffenbach) and one freshman. Thats it.
Consistently being able to protect
(Hackenberg) starts up front, first-year
coach James Franklin said. As our
offensive line continues to grow and
play better, then our quarterback will be
protected and well throw the ball better,
and then our running game will
be more effective. All of those
things are based on consistency.
Hackenbergs numbers are
impressive, but not overwhelming.
Hes completed 134 of 227 passes for
1,637 yards but only has five touch-
down passes against seven interceptions.
Weve got a lot of respect for that
big quarterback, Ohio State head coach
Urban Meyer said. Tremendous player.
Statistically came out of the chute with a
high completion percentage. Hes struggled
a little bit. But hes playing very well.
(Continued from page 6)
There are more and more
international baseball events
than there are in football and it
seems to be growing constantly.
I dont ever see football
becoming an Olympic sport,
for example.
There was the experiment
with NFL Europe as well and
I believe it was pretty mixed
as far as results go.
Yes, I understand that
there has been an NFL game
in London since 2007 and
it generally has gone over
well in Wembley Stadium,
which has 90,000-plus seats,
but thats a once-a-year affair.
There has been a couple
in Mexico City, as well, that
have been before crowds
of 100,000-plus at Azteca
Stadium.
However, as thoughts roll
around in my pumpkin, I
realize that for the NFL to
keep expanding and grow-
ing and becoming ever more
popular, its going to have to
go international on more than
a once-a-year thing.
If a soccer hotbead like
Great Britain ever heard
of the Holligans? They are
the most rabid NFL fans
times two! thinks they can
support a team and my
guess is eventually two or
three then that is a good
thing.
Soccer is number one there
but if football can really get a
foothold in that kind of an
atmosphere, well, the NFL is
not full of dumb dodos; they
know what pays the freight.
That means mucho more
buckos for owners and play-
ers when the TV contracts are
renegotiated.
The only thing I can see
negative there is if some
European network and
lets face it, it might be state-
owned like Tass used to be in
the USSR, which means they
dont necessarily need to turn
a profit bids such an astro-
nomical sum for the broad-
cast rights that American net-
works get left out and we
might not be able to get it.
My guess is that should a
team based in, say, London,
be approved, a team in
Mexico will likely be next
and so on.
We could see the Brazilian
Whatevers!
The only other negative
is whether players would
be willing to play regularly
in London; Athens, Greece;
Mexico City; etc.
For the right price?
My only plea before all this
happens get a team in Los
Angeles. I still have a hard
time calling it the St. Louis
Rams; I am of the old school
there with Jack Youngblood,
Lawrence McCutcheon
and Larry Brooks, not the
Greatest Show on Turf!
-
How will the Royals
rebound after their first
loss since Sept. 27 and their
first loss at Kaufman Stadium
since Sept. 20?
They are doomed!
Just kidding.
In all honesty, for tradi-
tions sake as I wrote last
week, Kansas City is a base-
ball town from long ago and a
small market to boot, so bless
their efforts I would like to
see them win it.
Either way its not the
Dodgers or Yankees!!!
Heh heh!
Musings
The vote means the existing system
will remain in place for now. The team
with the worst record will still have a 25
percent chance at getting the top pick and
cannot drop lower than fourth. The board
agreed to send the issue back to the com-
petition committee for additional study.
I think, in essence, the owners were
concerned about unintended conse-
quences, NBA Commissioner Adam
Silver said. I think we all recognize we
need to find the right balance between
creating the appropriate incentives on
one hand for teams to, of course, win,
and on the other hand allowing for
appropriate rebuilding and the draft to
work as it should in which the worst
performing teams get the highest picks
in the draft.
NBA
In the other semifinal, the teams battled to
a 1-1 tie at the half.
Kalida turned up the defensive intensity the
second half, denying an offensively strong Miller
City (9-7-4) from getting many open looks.
We have been built on defense for a long
time; we always have and always will. We did
a great job on a great offensive player, Jared
Snyder, Kalida mentor Mark Czubik explained.
We didnt give him a lot of room. In fact, that
was one of two things we talked about at half-
time. We took away their space to operate instead
of dropping too deep against their forwards. The
second was to simply keep our composure. We
kind of let the crowd and the refereeing get to
us; I thought the officials allowed it to be more
physical to our advantage; we finally realized
that and we wore them down.
Freed up on the other end, the hosts
attacked but either Hunter Berner (5 saves;
10 shots) was up to the task or his defenders
knocked away shots.
On the other end, Miller City did get a
couple of chances on-goal: at 21:42, when
Jackson Lammers tried from the top of the
box but a diving Brent Hovest (3 saves; 5
shots) prevented the score; and at 19:23, when
Snyder fired from well out on the right side
but Hovest punched it away.
With the match becoming increasingly
intense, the home team finally broke the tie
at 15:39. Commenced by a throw-in from the
right side by Logan Roebke, the ball found
the box and a failed clearance ended up at
the feet of Austin Swift on the left post. His
12-yarder eluded the hands of Berner and hit
the right side of the nets for a 2-1 edge.
At 7:05, the hosts got the big insurance
tally. On a free ball at the top of the box, Swift
beat Berner to the ball and looped a shot from
the left post; the orb hit the bar and bounced
into the right side of the twine for a 3-1 edge.
Both defenses limited the others offense
on their open looks in the first half; when
shots were fired, either defenders were in the
way or the keepers got the job done.
Kalida drew first blood at 26:08. Off a
cross from the right side, Swift had an open
1-toucher in the middle of the box and found
the left side for as 1-0 edge.
Miller City got the equalizer at 11:27.
Inside the box, Lammers got possession on
the right side and fired a 10-yarder past a div-
ing Hovest.
LadyCats stymie Santaguida, LCC
BY CHARLIE WARNIMONT
DHI Media Correspondent
CELINA - It was a team effort for Kalidas girls soccer
team in their Division III District semifinal contest against
Lima Central Catholic at Celina.
The LadyCats had a tremendous defensive effort, while
getting a good offensive push in defeating the Thunderbirds
4-1 in the second match Wednesday evening.
The win moves Kalida into the district finals Saturday
afternoon at 1 p.m. against Ottawa-Glandorf at Celina.
The Titans advanced to the district finals with a 6-2 win
over Continental in the first match Wednesday. This
will be the first-ever meeting between the two Putnam
County schools.
This was a just a total team effort, Kalida coach
David Kehres said. The defense played very well together
tonight. They were communicating very well back there and
winning a lot of the 50-50 balls and when you win those you
can kind of set the tone a little bit.
Kalida knew they would need a good defensive effort as
they were facing one of top offensive threats in the area in
LCC senior Sydney Santaguida, who came into the game hav-
ing scored 26 times this season. The Wildcats were able to shut
down Santaguida as she had limited shot attempts on the night.
One of Santaguidas few runs at goal came early in the sec-
ond half with the LadyCats nursing a 1-0 lead. Despite having
a defender on her left hip, Santaguida made a run only to push
her shot attempt wide.
Seconds later, Santaguida and sophomore Cameron Rice
hooked up for the T-Birds lone goal of the evening with 39
minutes left the contest.
After that it was up to Kalida junior Cathy Basinger to keep
an eye on Santaguida. With Basinger playing close attention
to the LCC standout, she didnt get off another shot and with
Kalidas overall defensive effort the T-Birds were unable to
get off another shot until the final 10 minutes of the contest.
After they scored, I told Cathy Basinger to keep an eye on
Sydney, Kehres said. She is a very good player and we had
to keep her in check. I felt comfortable that if we were able to
keep her in check and off the scoreboard the rest of the second
half we could come out of here with a W.
While the LCC offense struggled to get shots, Kalidas
offense was able to get some pressure on the T-Bird goal. Their
persistence paid off with 24:49 left in the match when LadyCat
senior Jackie Gardner notched her second goal of the night.
Gardner took a pass from junior Makenna Richey and went
1-on-1 with the LCC keeper, beating her with a shot to
the right side of the net.
Gardner had scored in the opening half for Kalida
when she took a long pass, got behind the LCC defense
and beat the goalie with a similar shot that gave Kalida its
1-0 halftime lead.
Later in the second half, Gardner notched an assist off a
corner kick. Gardner played the corner kick to the near post
where Richey went high to head the ball past the LCC keeper.
Jackie had that goal to get us the lead and later had that
corner kick that Makenna scored off of, Kehres said. When
you get all excited and get more confidence, the momentum
builds. When we got that goal to get the lead back it took some
of the pressure off the girls, they could relax and do some of
the things we do at practice. It was a great team game tonight.
Kalida secured its win with just under 10 minutes left when
Richey scored off a direct kick, looping the ball just under the
crossbar and out of the reach of the LCC keeper.
LCC had a couple of chances to get back into the game but
Wildcat goalie Morgan Knapke was there to collect the T-Bird
opportunities.
They just kept their intensity up. I told the girls at halftime, we
have to want it more because they were wanting it more than us
right now, LCC coach Mike Santaguida said. They responded
well after we scored on them. They played a good game. They took
it to us. They shut down Sydney and kept a girl on her at all times.

Dear Abby
Search for husband stumbles
over scars on womans legs
DEAR ABBY: I am a 21-year-old woman
from the Philippines. I have been insecure
all my life. I know I have a pretty face, but I
have a lot of scars on my legs from childhood.
Because of this I am depressed, unhappy and
insecure. I never wear shorts, skirts or dresses
that show my legs.
Do you think there is some guy somewhere
who will love me despite my scars? Im well
aware that guys like sexy ladies with flawless
skin. I hate the way my legs look, and I doubt
I will ever find a husband. Please help me. --
INSECURE LADY
DEAR INSECURE: Please quit putting
yourself down. Sometimes we women can be
our most severe critics. If you stop looking
for reasons men wont like you and start
concentrating on why they WILL, you may
have better luck.
Men like women who are fun to be around,
who are kind, intelligent, honest and who
dont play games. A man who would reject
you because of scars on your legs isnt a
person you need for a lasting, meaningful
relationship.
DEAR ABBY: My dog got my neighbors
dog pregnant, and my neighbor kept it secret
so she can sell the pups and keep all the money.
I know this because her son told me so.
My dog died this week and I really want one
of the puppies. I cant afford to buy one at
$300. Does the family of the father of the pups
have any rights? -- MISSING MY DOGGIE
DEAR MISSING YOUR DOGGIE:
Pets are supposed to be spayed or neutered
to prevent this sort of thing from happening.
Im sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. If
the pregnancy was unplanned, the owner of
the female is not obligated to provide a puppy
or compensation to the owner of the male.
Perhaps out of compassion your neighbor will
relent and give one to you.
DEAR ABBY: I have been married for
more than 15 years to a man who refuses to
kiss me. We kissed briefly on our wedding day
(long enough to take a photo) and have not
done so since then.
This past New Years Eve instead of the
traditional kiss on the lips, he gave me a kiss
on the head and a peck, akin to what youd
see between close friends. He says the human
mouth has many germs in it.
Abby, I dream of being kissed. I know the
possibility of it happening during my marriage
is close to nil. What can I do? I am well-
groomed and practice good oral hygiene. --
DOING WITHOUT SOMETHING NICE IN
WASHINGTON
DEAR DOING WITHOUT: It has been
15 years since you have been kissed and
youre writing me about it only NOW? Was
your courtship this way, too?
Relationships wither without affection.
Your husband appears to either be germ
phobic or passive aggressive. Unless he is
willing to talk to a counselor about it, nothing
will change. I hope hell do it before you meet
someone else under the mistletoe or at the
stroke of midnight.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van
Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and
was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Ask Mr. Know-it-All
The case of the missing gold was a rumor
by Gary Clothier
Q: I was born in
1937, the year the
United States Bullion
Depository opened
at Fort Knox. I was
in my 30s when I
heard that the gold
was gone because
politicians spent it.
Has the gold ever
been returned?
-- N.E.W., Rising
Fawn, Ga.
A: The rumor of
the missing gold
was nothing more
than just that, a
rumor. As a matter
of fact, on Sept. 23,
1974, Director of the
United States Mint
Mary Brooks took
members of Congress
and the media on a
tour of the vaults to
prove the gold was
still there. That was
the only time a tour
of the facility was
ever conducted.
Besides gold, the
Bullion Depository
has also protected
the Declaration of
Independence, the
U.S. Constitution,
the Articles of
C o n f e d e r a t i o n ,
Lincolns Gettysburg
address, three
volumes of the
Gutenberg Bible,
Lincolns second
inaugural address,
the Magna Carta and
the crown, sword,
scepter, orb and cape
of St. Stephen, King
of Hungary.
Q: My husband
and I have been
watching reruns of
the TV series The
Virginian. What can
you tell us about the
actors who played
Judge Garth and
Betsy Garth? -- B. &
D.C., Lavaca, Ark.
A: The Virginian
was an incredibly
popular Western
airing from 1962-
1971. The 90-minute
show was set at the
Shiloh Ranch in
Wyoming Territory
during the 1890s.
Lee J. Cobb played
the part of Judge
Henry Garth in the
first four seasons of
the show. Cobb was
born Leo Jacoby on
Dec. 8, 1911, in New
York City. He was a
skilled violinist and
harmonica player.
He had an amazing
acting career, both
on screen and stage,
appearing in 12
Angry Men, On
the Waterfront and
The Exorcist. He
died of a heart attack
on Feb. 11, 1976.
The role of Judge
Garths daughter,
Betsy, was played
by Roberta Shore
(nee Roberta Jymme
Schourop), who was
born April 7, 1943,
in Monterey Park,
Calif. At age 10,
Shore began singing
c o u n t y - we s t e r n
songs in public
with Tex Williams,
who invited her to
join his weekly TV
show. She changed
her stage name to
Jymme Shore and
joined The Pinky
Lee Show, the No.
1-rated childrens
television program,
in 1954. Disney
Studios hired her,
but said her name
was confusing, so
she changed it back
to Roberta. Shore
appeared in several
Disney films and
later recorded with
Lawrence Welk.
She appeared on
numerous TV shows
as well as in several
films. Later in life,
she and her third
husband, actor Ron
Frederickson, moved
to Salt Lake City, and
little has been heard
of her since.
DID YOU
KNOW? Before he
was an actor, James
Garner claims to
have had 75 odd jobs,
including pumping
gas and modeling
mens clothing.

Trivia
Answers to Wednesdays questions:
The first public opinion poll taken was in 1824
to assess voters preferences in the presidential elec-
tion. The results gave Andrew Jackson a command-
ing lead over John Quincy Adams and all others.
However, Adams won the election.
The first stolen car was a Peugot owned by Baron
de Zuylen of France. It was stolen in June 1896 by
a mechanic from the manufacturing plant in Paris,
where it had been taken for repairs.
Todays questions:
What is the smallest country on earth?
How many islands are part of the Hawaiian
Islands?
Answers in Fridays Herald.
During his sentencing hearing
Wednesday afternoon, Fishbein stated,
Your Honor, Im just finishing a
three-year sentenced, and here I stand
again. I wish I could explain why I
continue my self-destructive impul-
sive actions. I take full responsibility
for my actions. I know my actions
are wrong. Ive continue them even
though I realize they lead to further
punishment. However, Your Honor,
grant me the opportunity to receive
psychiatric treatment for my compul-
sive behavior. I am a man with a rea-
sonable amount of intelligence. Until
I was 48 years old, I had never had
any serious troubles. Ive had 25 years
of a successful career with increasing
responsibility and financial reward.
For some reason that I cannot explain,
I have done significant damage to that
career. Now I wish to get professional
help that I have not received in prison
because it was not available.
Based on my research, people diag-
nosed with obsessive-compulsive dis-
order can recover and through counsel-
ing they can overcome their regretful
actions, and hopefully that will happen
for me I only hope I can overcome
and not bring any burden of pain or suf-
fering back home.
An Ohio City man tried to back out
of a guilty plea after already entering it
in Van Wert County Court of Common
Pleas on Wednesday. Andrew Thomas,
32, was awaiting sentence Wednesday
morning on a charge of escape, a felony
of the fifth degree. Thomas had plead-
ed guilty after the prosecution agreed
to allowing him to serve time in the
WORTH Center in Lima instead of in
prison. What he did not realize what that
a sentencing judge is under no obliga-
tion to go along with an plea deals or
arrangements. Judge Charles D. Steele
noted a long list of prior offenses from
Thomas case file before passing sen-
tence of 12 months in prison with credit
given for 138 days already served. This
angered Thomas.
As Steele was finishing reading the final
advisements in the sentencing, Thomas
stated in a loud voice, I withdraw my
guilty plea! I was promised the WORTH
Center and thats the only reason I pled
guilty. You guys had me under the impres-
sion that I was going to the WORTH
Center, and I have the right to withdraw
my plea. Steele then advised Thomas that
it was too late since he had already been
sentenced, Thomas fired back at the judge,
You guys are crooked! and was led out
of the courtroom as he glared at the judge.
Thomas had said earlier in the hearing
that he had completed the program at the
WORTH Center once before and thought
that it would help him again. The list
Steele read out loud included charges of
theft, burglary, forgery, petty theft, com-
munity theft, trespassing, illegal consump-
tion, disobeying a police officer, commu-
nity theft, possession of drugs, domestic
violence, obstructing official business, and
failure to register.
Also sentenced on Wednesday was
Justine Jerome, 28, Van Wert. Jerome
was sentenced to take part in the new
Drug Court program which will begin in
December. Jerome was placed on three
years of community control including
60 days in jail, 200 hours of community
service and a six month drivers license
suspension. An 11-month prison term
was deferred pending the successful
completion of community control.
Also on Wednesday, entering guilty
pleas were four individuals. Sentencing
for all four was set for November 26.
Alex Chorvas, 19, Van Wert pleaded to
two counts of corrupting another with
drugs, a felony of the third degree. He
was charged with providing marijuana
to a 16-year-old and drugs to a 15-year-
old.
Derek Showalter, 32, Paulding,
pleaded guilty to two fifth-degree felony
counts of trafficking in heroin, pos-
session of heroin, a felony of the third
degree, and aggravated possession of
drugs, a fifth-degree felony.
Alisha Stemen, 22, Van Wert, plead-
ed guilty to three counts of fifth-degree
felony theft and one county of third-
degree felony burglary.
Rhonda Risley, 45, Convoy, pleaded
guilty to fifth-degree felony drug pos-
session.
Also on Wednesday, Logan Linton,
22, Van Wert, was found competent to
stand trial following an evaluation by
Court Diagnostic and Treatment Center
in Toledo. His case was then set for pre-
trial on October 29.

will have to retain his own attorney to
represent him.
Advocates for seniors say the governments measure
of inflation doesnt accurately reflect price increases
faced by older Americans because they tend to spend
more of their income on health care. The rise in medi-
cal costs has slowed in recent years, but people hit with
serious illnesses can still see their individual costs soar.
People on Medicare, the government health insurance
program for older Americans, usually have their Part B
premiums deducted from Social Security payments. The
premiums, which cover outpatient care, are scheduled
to stay the same next year $104.90 a month.
However, federal retirees face a 3.8 percent increase
in their health insurance premiums next year, said
Joseph A. Beaudoin, president of the National Active
and Retired Federal Employees Association.
News of the cost-of-living adjustment for the com-
ing year always is eagerly awaited by the countless
Americans who rely on the increase to keep up with the
rising price of food, housing, transportation and medical
care, Beaudoin said in a statement. However, despite
the partial relief this COLA will provide, the announce-
ment is a reminder that our method for calculating the
increasing cost of goods and services is out of sync with
the reality faced by millions of federal (retirees), Social
Security recipients and military retirees.
Currently we are seeking help from a person who is a
potential witness in this case. We are seeking a person who
was driving a vehicle in the area of Market and Metcalf
and who had a bicyclist pull out in front of them sometime
between 7:20 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. The driver of the vehicle
is NOT a suspect, but may have information regarding this
case.
The post went on to ask anyone who had information
about the bomb threats to contact the department.
High school students were not permitted to enter the build-
ing. Those who had were taken to the district bus garage and
allowed to leave with parents or their parents permission.
Students at South, which includes K-8 students, were trans-
ported to Unity Elementary, where they were picked up by
parents and guardians.
Noffsinger had previously been approved for three chiropractic
treatments by his practitioner in Defiance. These are completed.
These motions will be considered by Judge Tiffany Beckman on
Nov. 26, when Noffsinger is also scheduled for a pretrial conference.

Obama expresses optimism about Ebola in US
BY JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama expressed confidence Wednesday
about the ability to contain Ebola in the U.S.,
taking special note of the ongoing recovery
of two nurses who contracted the disease and
of others who were declared Ebola free after
being exposed to the deadly virus.
Were cautiously optimistic, he declared.
He also gave assurances that hospitals
across the country were becoming better pre-
pared to deal with Ebola.
Obama spoke after meeting with his Ebola
response team, including point man Ron
Klain, newly named to coordinate public
health efforts at home and assistance to West
Africa where Ebola has killed more than
4,800 people.
The public health infrastructure and sys-
tems that we are now putting in place across
the board around the country should give the
American people confidence that were going
to be in a position to deal with any additional
cases of Ebola that might crop up without it
turning into an outbreak, Obama said.
The presidents more upbeat tone was in
sharp contrast to last week when he called for
a more aggressive response by his adminis-
tration upon learning that one of two nurses
diagnosed with Ebola had earlier traveled
on a commercial airliner from Dallas to
Cleveland and back.
Obama noted Wednesday that numerous rel-
atives of Thomas Eric Duncan, the only person
to die of Ebola in the U.S., have been released
from quarantine, and that two Dallas nurses
infected with the virus as a result of treating the
Liberian man seem to be doing better.
Later Wednesday, the family of one of the
nurses said doctors no longer could detect the
virus in her body.
Obama also spoke by telephone with some
of the nurses colleagues at Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital.
In the Oval Office, Obama added that a
declaration by the World Health Organization
that Nigeria is now Ebola-free was a hope-
ful sign, as he sought to further allay the
American publics fears over a disease that
has claimed thousands of lives far from U.S.
shores.
It gives you some sense that when it is
caught early and where the public health
infrastructure operates effectively, this out-
break can be stopped, he said.
Obama said that in addition to $1 billion
from the United States, the international
community had committed another $1 billion
to begin building isolation units in Liberia,
Guinea and Sierra Leone. The U.S. has
pledged to send up to 4,000 troops to build
treatment units and to train health care work-
ers in the region. Obama said that as of now,
the U.S. has 100 workers from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention and 500
military personnel in West Africa.
Canadas PM: shooting rampage terrorism
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) A masked
gunman killed a soldier standing guard at
Canadas war memorial Wednesday, then
stormed Parliament in an attack that was
stopped cold when he was shot to death by
the ceremonial sergeant-at-arms. Canadas
prime minister called it the countrys sec-
ond terrorist attack in three days.
We will not be intimidated. Canada
will never be intimidated, Prime Minister
Stephen Harper vowed in an address to
the nation.
Unfolding just before 10 a.m., while
lawmakers were meeting in caucus rooms,
the assault rocked Parliament over and
over with the boom of gunfire, led MPs
to barricade doors with chairs and sent
people streaming from the building in fear.
Harper was addressing a caucus when
the attack began outside the door, but he
safely escaped.
Investigators offered little information
about the gunman, identified as 32-year-
old petty criminal Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.
But Harper said: In the days to come
we will learn about the terrorist and any
accomplices he may have had.
A government official told AP that
Zehaf-Bibeau was a recent convert to
Islam. The official spoke on condition of
anonymity because the person was not
authorized to discuss the case publicly.
Canada was already on alert because
of a deadly hit-and-run assault Monday
against two Canadian soldiers by a man
Harper described as an ISIL-inspired ter-
rorist. ISIL, or Islamic State, has called
for reprisals against Canada and other
Western countries that have joined the
U.S.-led air campaign against the extrem-
ist group in Iraq and Syria.
Witnesses said the soldier posted at
the National War Memorial, identified as
Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, was gunned down
at point-blank range by a man carrying
a rifle and dressed all in black, his face
half-covered with a scarf. The gunman
appeared to raise his arms in triumph, then
entered Parliament, a few hundred yards
away, where dozens of shots soon rang
out, according to witnesses.
People fled the complex by scrambling
down scaffolding erected for renovations,
while others took cover inside as police
with rifles and body armor took up posi-
tions outside and cordoned off the nor-
mally bustling streets around Parliament.
On Twitter, Canadas justice minis-
ter and other government officials cred-
ited 58-year-old sergeant-at-arms Kevin
Vickers with shooting the attacker just
outside the MPs caucus rooms. Vickers
serves a largely ceremonial role at the
House of Commons, carrying a scep-
ter and wearing rich green robes, white
gloves and a tall imperial hat.
At least three people were treated for
minor injuries.
In Washington, President Barack
Obama condemned the shootings as out-
rageous and said: We have to remain
vigilant. The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa
was locked down as a precaution, and
security was tightened at the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier at Arlington National
Cemetery just outside Washington.
Harper vowed that the attacks will
lead us to strengthen our resolve and
redouble our efforts to keep the country
safe and work with Canadas allies to fight
terrorists.
Police said in the initial hours that as
many as two other gunmen may have
taken part in the attacks. But by late in the
evening, the cordon around Parliament
was lifted and police said there was no
longer any threat to the public in the area.
Court records that appear to be the gun-
mans show that he had a long rap sheet,
with a string of convictions for assault,
robbery, drug and weapons offenses, and
other crimes.
Tony Zobl said he witnessed the
Canadian soldier being gunned down from
his fourth-floor window directly above the
National War Memorial, a 70-foot, arched
granite cenotaph, or tomb, with bronze
sculptures commemorating World War I.
I looked out the window and saw a
shooter, a man dressed all in black with
a kerchief over his nose and mouth and
something over his head as well, holding a
rifle and shooting an honor guard in front
of the cenotaph point-blank, twice, Zobl
told the Canadian Press news agency.
The honor guard dropped to the ground,
and the shooter kind of raised his arms in
triumph holding the rifle.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. had
video of the gunman going to his car
alone with his weapon after the shooting
at the memorial. The car was later spotted
parked in front of Parliament Hill, just
down the block.
Cabinet minister Tony Clement tweet-
ed that at least 30 shots were heard inside
Parliament, where Conservative and
Liberal MPs were holding their weekly
caucus meetings.
Man caught
after jumping
White House
fence
WASHINGTON (AP)
A 23-year-old Maryland man
was in the custody Wednesday
night after he climbed over
the White House fence and
was swiftly apprehended on
the North Lawn by uniformed
Secret Service agents and
their dogs.
The incident came about a
month after a previous White
House fence jumper sprinted
across the same lawn, past
armed uniformed agents and
entered the mansion before
he was felled in the ceremo-
nial East Room and taken into
custody.
That embarrassing Sept. 19
incident preceded the disclo-
sure of other serious Secret
Service breaches in security
for President Barack Obama
and ultimately led to Julia
Piersons resignation as direc-
tor of the agency after 18
months on the job.
Secret Service spokes-
man Brian Leary said a man
he identified as Dominic
Adesanya of Bel Air,
Maryland, climbed the north
fence line at about 7:16 p.m.
and was taken into custody
immediately by uniformed
agents and K-9 teams that
constantly patrol the grounds.
Adesanya was unarmed at the
time of his arrest, Leary said.
Charges were pending.
Two dogs were taken to a
veterinarian for injuries sus-
tained during the incident,
Leary added.
Video of the incident
recorded by TV news cameras
shows a man in white shorts
on the lawn just inside the
fence. The video shows that
man lifting his shirt as if to
show that he is unarmed. He is
then seen kicking and punch-
ing two Secret Service dogs
that were released on him.
The man was being taken
to a local hospital, Leary said,
without elaboration.
After Pierson resigned, an
agent who once led Obamas
protective detail came out of
retirement to lead the Secret
Service until Obama names
a new director, pending the
completion of internal and
independent reviews of agen-
cy practices.
Goofy dinosaur
blends Barney
and Jar Jar Binks
WASHINGTON (AP)
Nearly 50 years ago, scien-
tists found bones of two large,
powerful dinosaur arms in
Mongolia and figured they had
discovered a fearsome critter
with killer claws.
Now scientists have found
the rest of the dinosaur and
have new descriptions for it:
goofy and weird.
The beast probably lum-
bered along on two legs like
a cross between TV dinosaur
Barney and Jar Jar Binks of
Star Wars fame. It was 16 feet
tall and 36 feet long, weighing
seven tons, with a duckbill on
its head and a hump-like sail
on its back. Throw in those
killer claws, tufts of feathers
here and there, and no teeth
and try not to snicker.
And if thats not enough, it
ate like a giant vacuum cleaner.
Thats Deinocheirus miri-
ficus, which means terrible
hands that look peculiar. It
is newly reimagined after a
full skeleton was found in
Mongolia and described in
a paper released Wednesday
by the journal Nature. Some
70 million years old, its an
ancestral relative of the mod-
ern ostrich and belongs to the
dinosaur family often called
ostrich dinosaurs.
Deinocheirus turned out to
be one the weirdest dinosaurs
beyond our imagination,
study lead author Yuong-Nam
Lee, director of the Geological
Museum in Daejeon, South
Korea, said in an email.
When scientists in 1965
found the first forearm bones
nearly 8 feet long many
of them envisioned a crea-
ture that would strike terror
in people, said University
of Maryland dinosaur expert
Thomas Holtz Jr, who wasnt
part of the study. Now its
a creature that would strike
bemusement, amazement.
And yes, he said, its pretty
goofy.
The find is tremendous
but is a cautionary tale about
jumping to conclusions with-
out enough evidence, said
University of Chicago dino-
saur expert Paul Sereno, who
wasnt part of the discovery.
It also reminds us that evo-
lution isnt always what we
think, Sereno said.
