DELPHOS Delphos Area Economic


Growth Partnership members arent trying to
re-invent the wheel. They are hoping to learn
from successful surrounding communities.
Since the last meeting, steering committee
members, including Perry Wiltsie, visited
Bluffton and experienced how closely their
chamber works with economic development.
I saw how closely administration and the
community worked together for a common
goal, Wiltsie said. One interesting thing
was their Business After Hours free breakfast they had where 60 people showed up.
They also did a presentation after the breakfast on the Affordable Care Act.
Angie Gable echoed similar sentiments
about Blufftons chamber breakfast meeting
after she was invited to attend a meeting last
summer.
It was amazing, the amount of people
who showed up. People flocked to the meetDelphos Area Economic Growth Partnership Moderator Cindy Metzger speaks ing, she said. There was a lot of informawith Steering Committee member and Web Site Committee Chair Terence tion, leads and one-on-one meetings.

He said Delphos has a lot of similarities to
Bluffton and its a good opportunity for the
city to learn and share with them.
Moderator Cindy Metzger said the partnership will continue to pursue economic
development.
Van Werts Economic Development
Program Manager Sue Gerker will be
Metzgers sounding board.
Sue has some insightful findings that
committee groups developed, Metzger said.
Gerker said there were seven areas, including Travel and Tourism; Business Retention
and Expansion; Business Development;
Downtown Development; Arts, Recreation
and Culture; Basic Needs and Education; and
Web Site Development.
Once the information is compiled, we
can see where our strengths are, Gerker
said. The info will be available to the community.
Currently, there are chairs for most
of the committees with the exception of
Downtown Development and Basic Needs
and Education.

School has the opportunity
to retain experience at a discounted price. High School
Principal John Edinger and
part-time Franklin Elementary
evening custodian Larry
Lindeman have announced
their intent to retire/rehire
with the district contingent
upon being rehired with
Delphos City Schools.
Public hearings will
be held on the matters.
Edinger
In Edingers case, the district
will save approximately $22,000
on his salary and benefits if his rehire is approved.
The district will need to fill three teaching positions for
the 2015-16 school year. First-grade teacher Joyce Wiechart,
second-grade teacher Kim Bohn and St. Johns Elementary
Title I reading teacher Pamela Hummel have all announced
their intentions to retire at the end of this school year. The
board thanked them for their service to the district and wished
them well in future endeavors.
Treasurer Brad Rostorfer said St. Johns Schools will be
contacted about the Title I reading position.
We need to make sure they still need a teacher in that
position or how they want to deal with Hummels retirement, Rostorfer said. We are the fiscal agent for that
position but they need to tell us how to handle replacing
her or not.
President Andy North retained his position on the board and
Erica Pimpas will serve as vice president. Both were approved
during the boards re-organizational meeting prior to the regular meeting Monday.
Meetings have been moved to 8 p.m. on the second Monday
of the month with the Finance and Policy committees meeting
at 8 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to the second Monday.
The superintendent is approved as the purchasing agent for
the district with a spending limit of $24,999.
Radio station WDOH, The Delphos Herald and the schools
website are the official news outlets for the district.
The board approved temporary appropriations of $544,000
as presented for the Delphos Public Library for the calendar
year 2015. The library will approve permanent appropriations

WASHINGTON An Ohio bartender with


a history of psychiatric illness was indicted
last week on a charge of threatening to murder House Speaker John Boehner, possibly by
poisoning his drink, according to records made
available Tuesday.
A grand jury indictment filed in U.S. District
Court in Ohio on Jan. 7 identified the accused
man as Michael R. Hoyt, a resident of Cincinnati.
A separate criminal complaint said Hoyt was
fired last fall from his job at a country club in
West Chester, Ohio, where he served drinks to
Boehner, who is a member.
In a subsequent conversation with a police
officer, Hoyt said that before leaving, he did not
have time to put something in John Boehners
drink, according to the complaint.
The court paper also said, Hoyt told the
officer he was Jesus Christ and that he was
going to kill Boehner because Boehner was

mean to him at the


country club and
because Boehner
is responsible for
Ebola.
According to
the criminal complaint, Hoyt said
he had a loaded
Beretta .380 automatic pistol and
he was going to
Boehner
shoot
Boehner.
Hoyt volunteered
to be taken to a psychiatric hospital, and police
took his weapon.
He is currently being held under a court order
for mental evaluation and treatment, and U.S.
Capitol Police and the FBI believe he poses a
current and ongoing credible threat to Boehner,
the complaint added.
The complaint says Hoyt was treated for a
previous psychotic episode about two years

ago. He was prescribed medication which he


voluntarily stopped taking about six months
ago, it added.
The lawyer listed on court documents as
Hoyts attorney did not respond to phone calls
or email requests for comment Tuesday evening.
As speaker of the House, Boehner is second in line for the presidency in the event of a
vacancy. His congressional district includes part
of western Ohio.
A spokesman for Boehner, Michael Steel,
said the speaker is aware of the situation and
sincerely thanks the FBI, the Capitol Police and
the local authorities in Ohio for their efforts.
The Capitol Police could not be reached for
immediate comment.
It was not clear why officials waited as long
as they did to disclose the charge. The grand
jury indictment is dated Jan. 7, but the incident
referred to in the papers took place on Oct. 29
of last year, and the complaint itself was filed
on Nov. 6.

For The Record

NASCAR driver accused of


abuse says ex is trained assassin
DOVER, Del. (AP) The NASCAR driver known as
The Outlaw testified Tuesday he believes his ex-girlfriend
is a trained assassin dispatched on covert missions around the
world who once returned to him in a blood-splattered gown.
Everybody on the outside can tell me Im crazy, but I lived
on the inside and saw it firsthand, Kurt Busch said when
his attorney, Rusty Hardin, questioned why he still believed
Patricia Driscoll is a hired killer.
Busch, appearing in court again over Driscolls request for
a no-contact order, continued the push of his legal team to
discredit his ex as a scorned woman out to destroy his career,
portraying her as a character fit for a screenplay.
Busch said Driscoll repeatedly asserted her assassin status
and claimed the work took her on missions across Central and
South America and Africa. He recounted one time when the
couple was in El Paso, Texas. He said Driscoll left in camouflage gear only to return later wearing a trench coat over an
evening gown covered with blood.
A day earlier, Buschs said his ex-girlfriend told him she
was a mercenary who killed people for a living and had shown
him pictures of bodies with gunshot wounds.
Busch said Tuesday that Driscoll had claimed that a female
character in Zero Dark Thirty, a film depicting the CIAs
hunt for Osama bin Laden, was a composite of her and other
women.
Last month, Michael Doncheff, who served as a personal
assistant to Busch and Driscoll, said an ailing Driscoll told
him in September that she had been picked up by a big man
and slammed to the ground while helping round up immigrants at the Mexican border, a story Doncheff considered
far-fetched.
Doncheff said Driscoll also asserted that she was a trained

assassin for the U.S. government and once told him, I take
down foreign governments. I own Washington.
During the hearing, which stretched over four days, neither Driscoll nor her attorney refuted the testimony. Driscoll
was not immediately available for comment after the hearing
Tuesday and did not immediately respond to voicemail messages.
Busch testified Monday that he decided to end his relationship with Driscoll after a race last fall because she was
monopolizing his schedule and he needed to focus on racing.
Driscoll said Busch assaulted her in his motorhome
at Dover International Speedway a week later, grabbing
her by the throat and slamming her head into a wall three
times. Busch and his attorneys have denied the allegations,
which are the subject of a separate criminal investigation.
Driscolls attorney, Carolyn McNeice, cross-examined Busch
on Tuesday, but few of her questions dealt directly with the
assault allegations.
Busch has testified that he repeatedly told Driscoll to leave
after she showed up unannounced at his motorhome, finally
cupping her cheeks in his hands, looking her in the eye and
telling her she had to go.
He advised that her head tapped the wall as he was doing
that, Detective James Wood testified Tuesday, recounting
Buschs interview with Dover police in November.
Richard Andrew Sniffen, a Christian music minister who
performs at NASCAR outreach events and befriended Busch
and Driscoll, said Driscoll told him on the night of the alleged
assault only that Busch had pushed her and that she hit her
head. Sniffen said Driscoll was upset, angry and brokenhearted, but that she never said she was afraid of Busch and seemed
intent on reconciling.

Ohio State football revelers


set fires, tear down goal post
COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio State
football fans took to the streets after
their teams championship victory
early Tuesday, yelling and screaming in
delight, setting nearly 90 fires and tearing down an Ohio Stadium goal post.
Police made a handful of arrests after
using tear gas and pepper spray to disperse crowds of Ohio State University
students and other fans following the
Buckeyes win.
Officers on foot, on horses and in
cruisers patrolled the main drag through
campus after midnight, when revelers
spilled out of nearby bars to celebrate
the football teams 42-20 win over the
University of Oregon in Dallas.
Thousands of fans chanting Let us
in! converged on the Ohio State football stadium, where police used tear gas
to turn them away. Most headed back
to the bar area, where cruisers lined the
street and officers limited pedestrian
and vehicular traffic.
Fans tore down a temporary goal post
used for high school games on the south

end of the Ohio Stadium field, university


spokesman Dan Hedman said.
University police responded to various places in and around campus,
including Ohio Stadium, the universitys Mirror Lake, a popular student
gathering spot, and the neighborhood
north of campus.
Courtney Olesh, a 19-year-old economics and finance major from Kent,
witnessed the early morning scenes on
campus.
There was like a fog, because there
was so much tear gas being used,
Olesh said.
The 89 fires reported to the
Columbus Fire Department involved
trash bins, Dumpsters and couches.
The fire department said it responded
to three reports of people with injuries
in the campus area.
Some police officers used pepper
spray to clear an estimated 5,000 revelers from the streets, while canisters
of tear gas also were deployed. The
crowds began going home within about

two hours.
Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs
said officers tried to use as little force
as possible to control those celebrating.
She said repeated requests for people to
clear the streets were ignored and fire
trucks couldnt get through the crowds
to respond to fires.
She said the energy level of the
crowd increased as the number of people grew.
It was getting amped up, Jacobs
said. What we know is that when
crowds start to behave that way that bad
things can happen.
WCMH-TV, showing images of revelers burning a couch, reported that
police arrested a handful of students,
who could face criminal and university
charges.
Gunfire in the campus area after the
game was reported by police dispatchers, with no reports of injuries, the
Columbus Dispatch said.
No problems were reported in
Oregon.

People with pre-diabetes higher-than-normal blood glucose (sugar) levels are five to 15 times more likely to develop
type 2 diabetes than those with normal blood glucose levels. In
fact, many people with pre-diabetes will develop type 2 diabetes
within three years if they do not take steps to prevent it.
One in three American adults has pre-diabetes, so the
need for prevention has never been greater, said Anne Dunn,
Wellness Program coordinator and lifestyle coach. The
Group Lifestyle Balance Program offers a proven approach
to preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes through
modest lifestyle changes made with the support of a coach and
ones peers.
Participants learn how to eat healthy, add physical activity to their routine, manage stress, stay motivated, and solve
problems that can get in the way of healthy changes. Group
Lifestyle Balance Program groups meet once a week for 12
weeks, then once a month for nine months to maintain healthy
lifestyle changes. The programs group setting provides a
supportive environment with people who are facing similar
challenges and trying to make the same changes. Together participants celebrate their successes and find ways to overcome
obstacles. Each session is led by trained lifestyle coaches.

Anniversary

The Group Lifestyle Balance Program was developed


by the Diabetes Prevention Support Center faculty of the
University of Pittsburgh and is a modification of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Diabetes Prevention
Program. The local program will begin meeting at the Gaylord
E. Leslie Wellness Center at 11 a.m. Friday.
The Group Lifestyle Balance Program is based on
research that showed that people with pre-diabetes who lost
five to seven percent of their body weight (10 to 14 pounds for
a 200-pound person) by making modest changes reduced their
risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.
Nationwide implementation of the program could save the
U.S. health care system $5.7 billion and prevent about 885,000
future cases of type 2 diabetes, a serious condition that can
lead to health problems including heart attack; stroke; blindness; kidney failure; or loss of toes, feet or legs.
Small changes can add up to a big difference, added
Cindy Cook, education coordinator and lifestyle coach.
Working with a trained lifestyle coach who provides guidance, Group Lifestyle Balance Program participants make
lasting changes together.
People are more likely to have pre-diabetes and type 2
diabetes if they:
Are 45 years of age or older;
Are overweight;
Have a family history of type 2 diabetes;
Are physically active fewer than three times per week; or
Have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes during pregnancy or gave birth to a baby weighing more than nine pounds.

The Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB) Program being


offered by Van Wert County Hospital is a comprehensive lifestyle behavior change program adapted directly from the successful lifestyle intervention used in the National Institutes of
Health funded Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP).

School doors closed for the day. We are


having frigid temperatures with a bitter cold
wind. The wind chill is minus 30 this morning and the temperature minus 8. Brrrr! But
we are enjoying winter scenery. The ground is
covered with snow.
My husband Joe and daughters Elizabeth
and Susan are back working at the RV factories after a two-week break. Their holiday
vacation went way too fast. Joe has been at
this factory ten years now.
Jacob, sister Emma and family, sisters
Verena and Susan, and the girls special
friends Timothy, Mose, Marvin, Menno, and
Manuel were all here for a breakfast brunch
on New Years Day. We added an eight-foot
table and a card table to our ten-foot dining
room table to make room for 24 people to sit
down. We had a breakfast haystack.
For a breakfast haystack you put a variety of foods on top of each other such as:
scrambled eggs, diced ham, diced Smokies,
crumbled bacon, crumbled biscuits, hash
brown potatoes, diced tomatoes, diced green
peppers, diced onions, hot peppers, salsa,
cheese sauce and sausage gravy.
After the brunch we exchanged gifts. We
had traded names earlier. Its always exciting
to see what all everyone gets and who had
each others name. Jacob and Emmas son
Benjamin had my name. He gave me three
Pyrex bowls, two memory foam pillows, and
cookie cutters.
In the afternoon Moses parents and some
of his family came by to pick up Mose and
daughter Susan. They headed to Iowa to visit
Moses sister Marilyn for a few days.
Friday evening daughter Verena left to
travel the couple hours to Marvins place.
They attended a family gathering on Saturday.
Daughter Elizabeth and Timothy left Friday
evening to attend a dinner that Timothys
employer was having for all his employees.
The house seemed empty with the three oldest
not at home.
Saturday afternoon, Timothy came over to
help Joe and the boys dress one of the beef
cows we raised. They think the beef weighed
around 1,400 pounds. How thankful we are
that we will have hamburger and beef chunks
again.
Joe also smoked some venison trail bologna in the smoker. We made quite a few
pounds of venison jerky and some venison
breakfast sausage. This was all from the deer
that Timothy and Mose gave to us.
On Tuesday, Jan. 6, Joe and all the children
were home in honor of Epiphany. Timothy
and Mose came for dinner and we had a nice

family day together.


This week we are working on cutting up
the beef. I will write more about that next
week.
God bless you all! Stay warm and healthy
during this cold weather.
Try this recipe for barbecued meatballs.
Enjoy!
Barbecued Meatballs
3 pounds ground beef
1 3/4 cups milk
2 cups oatmeal
2 eggs
1 cup chopped onions
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Jays on fire against Paulding Jefferson ekes

out cage triumph


over Miller City

By LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The St. Johns girls
basketball team won its third game in a
row to reach the .500 mark with a 55-25
victory over the Paulding Panthers at
Robert A. Arnzen gymnasium Tuesday
night.
The Lady Jays jumped out to an
early lead with coast-to-coast layins
after steals by Sydney Fischbach and
Madilynn Schulte. Fischbach lead the
charge with a turnaround jumper from
the baseline and a pair of free throws
as the Jays led 8-0. Paulding got on the
board at the 3:40 mark with a bucket
by Suzanne Reinhart. After Schulte hit
a 3-pointer, Rebekah Fischer got in the
books with a jumper off an assist by
Fischbach. The Panthers got back-toback baskets by Reinhart on a drive and
Faith Vogel from the lane to cut the lead
to six. Senior guard Emilee Grothouse
connected on a triple before the buzzer
as the Jays led 16-7 after one.
St. Johns blew the game open with
a 11-0 run to start the second quarter with scores by Sam Kramer, Lexie
Hays, Jessica Geise and Lexie Hays.
Pauldings Brooke Combs ended that run
with a pair of free throws as the Panthers
trailed 27-9. St. Johns displayed great
teamwork as Tara Vorst found Hays for
a bucket and then Vorst hooked up with
an open Fischbach for the layin. At the
other end of the floor, Fischbach got
the steal and pushed the ball ahead to
Rachel Pohlman as the Jays took a 33-9
lead into the locker room.
The Panthers scored first after the
break on a banker by Combs and Schulte
answered with a length-of-the-floor
drive and bucket. Faith Vogel grabbed
an offensive rebound and scored on

the putback followed by a 3-pointer by
Combs. Fischbach scored off an assist
by Hays but Paulding kept the lead at 20
with a pair of charity tosses by Vogel.
The Blue Jays offense was slowed
with 3:14 remaining in the third, not by

defensive pressure but by a fire alarm.


After the gym was cleared and then fans
let back in, Vorst caught fire for the Jays
with a pair of buckets to end the quarter.

Kalida whacks Lady Lancers 65-47


BY JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
KALIDA - With two of
the areas better teams clashing at Kalida Tuesday night,
it looked like a barn-burner
was in store. That didnt happen as the LadyCats of Kalida
were impressive at both ends
and came away with a 65-47
win over Lincolnview.
Kalida is now 9-4. The
Lady Lancers are 8-3.
It was close in the early
going with a tie and three
lead changes in the first four
minutes. A buzzer-beating
tip-in by Kalidas Katelyn
Siebeneck made it 9-6, Cats,
after eight minutes.
Point guard Hannah
McCleery had all six of the
Lancers first quarter points
and she also slashed into the
lane for the first Lincolnview
score of the second period.
She would, however, not
score again in the game and
seldom was able to get off

any shots.
In the meantime, Kalida
ended the second period on
a 6-1 run to lead 24-13 at the
break.
The LadyCats stretched
that run to 12-1 by scoring the first six points of
the third quarter, making it
30-13, Kalida, at the 7:13
mark. Both offenses
improved considerably
in that period but the
Cats racked up 11 field
goals out of 15 tries and
led 48-28 after 24 minutes.
Kalida took its biggest
lead at 50-28 with 7:46 left
in the game but the Lancers
dominated the next 3:32 with
a 14-3 run to get within 53-42
at the 4:14 mark.
It got no closer, however,
as the Cats continually broke
through the Lincolnview
press and also continued to
hit free throws.
Kalida put up some
impressive stats, hitting 56
percent (25 of 45) from the

field and 71 percent (12 of


17) from the free throw line.
They also dominated the
boards 28-15. Lincolnview
had one less turnover, 11-12.
The Lancers hit 35 percent
(17 of 48) from the field and
71 percent (10 of 14) of their
freebies.
Despite the good numbers,
Kalida coach Adam
Huber didnt think his
team played both ends
of the court well at the
same time.
Id like to see us
put it all together for the
entire game, he said. The
first half we played pretty
good defense, but on offense
we werent very aggressive.
In the second half we came
out, pushed the ball like
we told em to do, got the
ball inside, were aggressive
offensively, but we gave up
three times as many points
as we did in the first half. Its
still early, though, so we have
time to put it together.
Allison
Recker
led

Kalidas scoring with 21, but


she got balanced support from
Brittany Kahle, Jacquelyn
Gardner, Kyle Osterhage,
and Siebeneck with 11, 9, 9,
and 7. The Lancers were led
by Ashton Bowersock, Julia
Thatcher, Katlyn Wendel, and
McCleery with 11, 10, 9, and
8.
Thatcher, the Lancers
leading scorer, didnt have a
point until 1:49 was left in the
third quarter.
Kalida dominated the
junior varsity game from start
to finish, ending up with a
33-17 verdict. Sarah Klausing
led the Lady Cats scoring
with 14. Alana Williams had
six for Lincolnview.

MILLER CITY Neither team Jefferson or Miller


City shot very well from the field, thus ensuring their girls
hardwood clash at J. Harry Leopold Gymnasium inside Miller
City High School would come down to the end.
That it did as the visiting Jeffcats held on for a 44-43 nonleague triumph.
The Red and White (6-7) were a cold 13-of-42 from the
floor, incliuding 2-of-6 long range, for 31.0 percent against
Miller Citys man-to-man.
Our whole thing at shooting is mental: we need to have
the confidence to finish the shots. We were getting a lot of
easy looks at the basket tonight; we just didnt finish enough,
Jefferson mentor Dave Hoffman explained. We also at times
get too tentative because were looking for contact; sometimes
it doesnt come but we think it will. Other than that, I think
were executing our offense to get good shots. The one thing
we saw tonight was getting contributions from a bunch of
people and in different ways; Jessica (Pimpas) came off the
bench and played extremely well. Thats what you want to start
getting right about now in a season.
However, the Blue and Gold Wildcats (3-8) minus lone
senior Haley Lammers due to injury were even frostier,
shooting 14-of-54 (5-of-22 downtown) for 25.9 percent against
the Jeffcats 1-2-2 half-court zone and occasional full-court
2-2-1 zone.
The way it started, both teams were hot in the early going.
We know Miller City can shoot the 3s well but as the game
wore on, we got out quicker, Hoffman added. I think we
started taking away their wide-open looks as the game wore
on and they werent getting clean shots.
Miller City coach Chris Rump was unavailable for comment.
It was no surprise, then considering the shooting eyes
that the fourth quarter started with Miller City in front 30-28
and what a quarter the eight minutes was. The Jeffcats were in
the 1-and-1 from the start and used that to full advantage, hitting 8-of-10 from the stripe (16-of-22 for the night for 72.7%).
Miller City also got there nine times but only hit four (10-of-21
total for 47.6%). It meant that there were three ties and four
lead changes. Pimpas (11 markers, 4 boards) stepped up big
with three straight baskets from the low post that broke the last
tie of 36 and gave Jefferson a 42-36 lead with 1:54 left. Miller
City answered with a long ball from Megan Niese at 1:42 and
got within 42-41 on a putback by Chrissy Berger (11 counters,
11 boards) at 1:07. Both teams failed to convert at the other end
and freshman Macy Wallace (7 points, 3 steals) was fouled for
the double-bonus with 14.2 ticks to go. She calmly drained both
for a 44-41 Delphos edge. On the other end, Miller City missed
two shots but got the rebounds and Berger was fouled putting
the third-chance try in the hoop with 2.0 ticks on the board. She
missed the foul shot but Tiffany Welty (14 boards, 3 steals) got
the rebound; unfortunately for her, she was too far under the
basket and unable to get a shot off before time expired.
The game started with both teams shooting fairly well early
but Jefferson kept it up more: 6-of-11 versus 3-of-13. Shelby
Koenig (6 points, 12 boards, 6 blocked shots, 3 steals) scored
four, as did Heather Pohlman, for the visitors, while MC was
getting to the line early 6-of-10 to stay in front of a
tightly-fought first period. A free toss by Cassie Niese (12
markers, 5 assists) at 37.5 ticks put them up 15-14.
The shooting went south or perhaps, more to the polar
regions in the second as the units combined for 6-of-23
from the field. The biggest lead of the first half happened to be
the halftime score of 23-17, with Niese taking a coast-to-coast
steal and laying it in with 18 ticks on the board.

Lancer wrestlers show well in tri-meet


BY BRIAN BASSETT

MIDDLE POINT - The Lincolnview


Lancer wrestling team hosted CoryRawson and Bluffton in a non-conference, tri-match Tuesday evening at
Lincolnview High School and, despite
dropping both team matches, got strong
performances all around.
Despite filling only four weight classes, strong Lancer performances almost
gave Lincolnview a win. The hosts narrowly fell, 24-21, to Cory Rawson.
Against the Hornets, all three Lancers
who saw action won. Jaden Dickson led
things off for Lincolnview in the 220pound weight class. An early takedown
gave Dickson a 2-0 lead which, after a
reversal point by Cory Rawsons Zerich
Magnall, he ran to 7-1 behind two more
takedowns.
Still leading 7-1 late in the second
period, Dickson turned Magnall and
forced a pin - putting Lincolnview on
the board.
The Lancers Luke Bollinger followed suit in his 106-pound bout.
Bollinger recorded a takedown and a
reversal to lead 5-0 before pinning Cory
Rawsons Daniel White with 1:26 left in
the second period.
Senior 152-pounder Jacob Gibson
then faced the Hornets Logan Kempf.
Gibson got a takedown and led 2-0 after
the first period. His lead was cut to one,
4-3, after two complete before Gibson
answered to take an eventual 11-4 win.
Senior 120-pounder Alex Rodriguez
was the recipient of a Cory Rawson
void, which gave the Lancers 21 points.
The Lancer voids were too much to

overcome, however, and the team narrowly fell, 24-21.
Lincolnivew coach Curtis Miller was
happy with the performance of his team
during the match, going 3-0 in contested
matches.
Especially against Cory Rawson,
(the team) wrestled extremely well, he

said. Having only four kids and almost


having a chance to take a W was big
for them. We shut (the Hornets) down.
Every match that we matched up with
them, we won.

could the college football


With NFL talk buzzing, Cardale How
playoff change next year?
Jones says hes not ready
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press

Associated Press
DALLAS While Urban
Meyer was doing most of the
talking, Cardale Jones owned
the room.
Ohio States rising star
quarterback was all big grins,
silly smirks, rolling eyes
and mischievous glances
Tuesday, the day after he
helped the Buckeyes roll
Oregon 42-20 to win the
first College Football Playoff
national championship.
Jones said that hes not
ready for the NFL. But after
just three college starts, the
22-year-old, third-year sophomore is in a unique position.
Should he stay or should he
go?
Cardales brand right
now has never been stronger,
might never be stronger again
in his life, Ohio State coach
Urban Meyer said.
On the other hand, the 6-5,
250-pounder from Cleveland
is still a raw though enticing prospect.
Im amazed at the speed
and quickness he has for a
guy that weighs over 250
pounds, said former NFL
executive Gil Brandt, who
now works as an analyst
for the NFL Network. But
his passes, some are on the
money, some are low, some
are high and some are wide.
Jones is eligible for early
entry to the NFL draft because
he is at more than three years
removed from graduating
high school. The deadline for
underclassmen to declare for
the draft is Thursday.
Brandt said Jones has the
talent to be selected, probably somewhere in the back
half of the seven-round draft,
but he would be better served
developmentally by another
year playing college football.
But there is the rub: Ohio
State could have three star

Patthoff; were at A T & T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. (Photo submitted)
quarterbacks on the roster
next season with Jones, J.T.
Barrett and Braxton Miller.
Jones is not guaranteed to be
the starter.
Its a strange position for
Jones to find himself. Back in
August, he was the Buckeyes
third-stringer. But after
Miller hurt his shoulder in the
preseason and Barrett broke
his ankle against Michigan, it
was up to Jones to lead Ohio
State the rest of the way.
In three games against
Wisconsin (Big Ten championship), Alabama (Sugar Bowl
semifinal) and Oregon, Jones
was 46 of 75 for 742 yards
passing and five touchdowns.
I mean, its very odd,
Jones said of going from
Meyers doghouse to considering an NFL career in such
a short time. You know, Im
going to be starting three
games in three years, and you
know, guys play their whole
career to have that buildup
and have that motivation to

play in the NFL.


In my personal opinion, Im not ready for that
level yet. I mean, like Coach
Meyer said, its a conversation me and him will have
later down the road. But to
me right now, its far out.
So is Jones personality.
Meyer has been blunt in talking
about how Jones work ethic
and maturity have been lacking over the last three years.
The coach has seen a change
he couldnt have expected.
I mean, its kind of cool
to be sitting here using the
word NFL next to Cardales
name, Meyer said, a comment that prompted a sideways smile and giggle from
Jones, who was sitting across
from the coach on the dais.
He certainly has talent. Is
he ready right now? Thats
a chat I guess well go and
have at some point, probably not right here in front of
everybody.
Jones was goofing around

with his teammates and coach


after the national championship game Monday night,
giving Meyer bunny ears as
he sat for his postgame news
conference and trying to distract Ezekiel Elliott with a
cell phone while the running
back answered questions.
Jones seems to have the
type of personality that could
make him college footballs
next click-bait star. He cant
cash in on that if he stays
in college but staying in
Columbus, Ohio, might be
best for him in the long run.
Goofy is great for Twitter.
The NFL is serious business.
Is Jones ready for that?
Some guys change when
theyre 50 years old, its too
late, Meyer added. Other
guys change when theyre
going through the journey
like we all did when were
17 to 21 years old, 22 years
old in his case. Very proud of
him. But we have not had that
conversation yet.

Ohio State could fuel impending Big Ten renaissance


By LUKE MEREDITH
Associated Press
Ohio States thrashing of Oregon in
the title game was more than just an ego
boost for the Big Ten.
It may have also signaled an impending renaissance for a league that looked
finished four months ago.
The Big Ten was the only league in
the country to beat three ranked teams
in bowl games and that was before
Ohio States victory over the Ducks. The
conference was also the only one with
two teams in the top five of the final poll
released Tuesday.
The Buckeyes were a unanimous
No. 1 and Michigan State was tied for
fifth after stunning Baylor in the Cotton
Bowl.
And the recent influx of high-profile
coaches like Ohio States Urban Meyer
and Michigans Jim Harbaugh could
have the Big Ten poised for big things
in the years to come.
I do think theres a little bit of a
reset. With the strength of the coaches,
thats a factor, Big Ten commissioner
Jim Delany said.
The argument over whether the conference has finally caught up to the SEC,
the Big 12 and the Pac-12 will continue
all offseason.
In September, it wasnt much of an
argument. On one weekend, Virginia
Tech stunned the Buckeyes, Oregon
throttled the Spartans and Notre Dame
embarrassed Michigan. Many experts
declared that the conference was out of
the running for a playoff spot.
What a difference a few months make.

Michigan just committed roughly


$35 million to Jim Harbaugh.
Michigan State has won the Big
Ten title game, the Rose Bowl and the
Cotton in the past 13 months. New
coaches at Wisconsin (Paul Chryst) and
Nebraska (Mike Riley) could push those
perennial league contenders over the
hump, and Jerry Kill has things looking
up at Minnesota.
Dont forget Penn State. The sanctions are ending and the Nittany Lions
look ready to rebound under
James Franklin.
In the near future, all those
programs will probably be
chasing the Buckeyes.
Ohio State is set to bring back the
majority of its starters and could have
three proven starting quarterbacks;
Cardale Jones, J.T. Barrett and Braxton
Miller.
Harbaughs track record suggests that
Michigan could be back in the national
spotlight sooner than later.
Stanford was in way worse shape than
the Wolverines are when Harbaugh took
over in 2007. But he led the Cardinal to
a 12-1 record and the Orange Bowl title
in his fourth season before a successful
stint with the San Francisco 49ers.
Still, Michigan has to worry about
reclaiming its own state first.
Michigan State has won at least 11
games in four of the past five seasons.
Its 21-point comeback against Baylor
further silenced whispers that its success
was largely a product of a weak league.
In the West division, Kill has led
once-mediocre Minnesota to back-toback eight win seasons.

Wisconsin beat Auburn in the


Outback Bowl, hired a seemingly perfect fit to replace Gary Andersen in former offensive coordinator Paul Chryst
and finished 13th in the final poll.
Nebraskas decision to fire Bo Pelini
was also something of a good sign for
the league. It was proof that the Huskers
dont plan on settling for anything less
than national title contention in the years
to come.
I was cheering like mad for
Wisconsin because I just
thought it legitimizes everything that these guys did.
Youve been told youve been
bad for so long, at times the
psychologist part of it takes over. You
start believing youre not very good and
thats not true at all, Meyer said.
The next sign post for the league will
be on national signing day, which is only
three weeks away.
Ohio State and Penn State are poised
to bring in Top 10 classes. Wisconsin
and Michigan State are in position for
the kind of quality classes that have
made them consistent winners in recent
years.
Michigan is playing catch up because
of the uncertainty that marked the end
of Brady Hokes tenure, though, and the
rest of the league trails many of the the
southern and West Coast schools.
But after years of ridicule, the Big
Ten can boast of a national champion
and bunch of other teams heading in the
right direction.
I still think top to bottom, we have
some work to do in our conference. But
its moving, Meyer added.

ARLINGTON, Texas The first College Football Playoff


was a success on almost every level except maybe for fans
of TCU and Baylor.
Otherwise, there was not much to gripe about. And Ohio
State walking away with the first championship by beating
Oregon 42-20 on Monday night after getting the fourth spot
ahead of TCU and Baylor certainly helped justify the selection
committees choice.
Now that its over, lets look ahead and examine where the
College Football Playoff goes from here.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
If you thought New Years Day was just perfect, spending your
lazy day off watching football, with a semifinal doubleheader
kicking off around 5 p.m. ET, weve got some bad news for you.
The semifinals next season will be played on New Years
Eve at the Orange Bowl in Miami and at the Cotton Bowl at
AT&T Stadium.
We really do think were going to change the paradigm of
New Years Eve, College Football Playoff executive director
Bill Hancock said.
The Rose Bowl goes back to being Big Ten vs. Pac-12
and the Sugar Bowl will now have a similar setup with the
Southeastern Conference and the Big 12 in a matchup. But
those two bowls keep those premium time slots, back-to-back
on New Years Day.
Traditions were existing when we started the playoff,
Hancock said. And one of those is the Rose Bowl. And SEC
and the Big 12 grabbed that night spot in New Years Day. Itll
be a great thing for them.
Maybe not for fans, though.
THE COMMITTEE
The 13-member selection committee, which turned into
a 12-member selection committee, needs to find at least one
new member.
After Oliver Luck resigned as athletic director at West
Virginia, the committee needs another representative from the
Big 12 conference.
Baylor coach Art Briles, who complained about not having
enough Texas representation on the panel, might not like it, but
dont be surprised if Kansas States John Currie or Oklahomas
Joe Castiglione ended up taking Lucks spot.
Former Mississippi quarterback Archie Manning had to withdraw from the committee during the season because of health
issues and its still very much up in the air if he will be back.
Hard to say who would replace Manning. It likely would be
someone with ties to SEC country but the conference commissioners who ultimately choose the committee members might
want to look for someone who could lower the average age of
the panel. None of the members were below 50.
There are a couple of things that will be up for discussion
when the committee and commissioners start talking about
whether changes need to be made to the rankings process:
Do the committee members need to meet in person every
week to do the rankings?
Should the rankings continue to be weekly? If ESPN has
a say (and it does) the answer will be yes.
Could the rankings start later in the season?
CONFERENCE RESET
Ohio States championship, along with some other Big Ten
bowl wins and a handful of high-profile SEC losses, could
reset a narrative that many outside the Deep South had grown
tired of during the BCS era.
After seven straight BCS titles by the SEC, it has now been
shut out of the last two national championships.
No need to panic, SEC fans. The league is still loaded but
offense rules the day in college football and a conference with
sketchy quarterback play throughout cant call itself the undisputed No. 1 in the land.
Meanwhile, things are looking up for the Big Ten.
It was a good bowl season, Big Ten Commissioner Jim
Delany said after the national championship game . We had
several chances to play great teams. Ohio State just got better
and better. Michigan State had a good season.
Ohio State is built to last under Urban Meyer. Michigan State
isnt going anywhere under Mark Dantonio. Penn State is racking up in recruiting with coach James Franklin. And then theres
this new guy Jim Harbaugh at Michigan. Hes kind of a big deal.
REFORM
The playoff is influencing NCAA reform and restructuring
because of how much money it is pumping into the top level
of college sports more than $500 million per year just from
ESPN television contracts related to big bowl games.
Meyer was among the first to call for the NCAA to find a
way to pay for players families to attend the extra postseason
game the Buckeyes and Ducks had in the playoff. In about a
month, the NCAA came up with a pilot program to reimburse
players parents or guardians up to $3,000 for travel expenses.
Meyer, speaking at a news conference with quarterback
Cardale Jones and safety Tyvis Powell, said hes grateful the
discussion is happening.
Its not always about corporate America, its not always
about money, its about the guys to my left over here that put
on an incredible show.
Autonomy is coming for the Big Five conferences and
with it more money will be moved toward college athletes. It
remains to be seen whether it will be enough considering all
the playoff cash thats coming in.
WHO WILL BE IN?
Pencil in Ohio State as preseason No. 1 in the AP poll. TCU
has a load of players back, led by star quarterback Trevone
Boykin, so figure the Horned Frogs will be second. After that
the preseason playoff hopefuls look like a lot of usual suspects.
SEC: Auburn, Alabama and Georgia.
Big Ten: Michigan State should push Ohio State again.
Big 12: Baylor.
Pac-12: Stanford, Southern California, Arizona and
Arizona State.
ACC: Florida State, Georgia Tech and Clemson.
OUR (WAY TOO EARLY) PLAYOFF PICKS:
Ohio State, TCU, Georgia and Clemson.

Colts hope improved defense Cornered: Packers prep for


will change results vs. Patriots Richard Sherman and Seahawks D
By MICHAEL MAROT
Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS

Chuck Pagano came to


Indianapolis making the case
for a robust defense.
Now the Colts coach has
the proof he needs to demonstrate its working.
The stats have improved,
the game tapes look better and
a suddenly stout defense is one
of the major reasons the Colts
are playing for their third AFC
title Sunday at New England.
Were playing better run
defense now than we ever
have, Pagano said Monday
after shutting down Denver
24-13 in an AFC divisionalround win one day earlier.
Weve got to prepare the

same way we prepared last


week. Weve got to do a better job because if were not
able to stop the run, were not
going to have a chance.
Until Pagano arrived three
years ago, it was a mantra
that rang hollow.
But evidence shows thats
not the case anymore.
In 2013, Indianapolis
allowed 125.1 yards rushing
per game, 26th in the league.
This season, they trimmed
that number to 113.4 yards
and jumped to No. 18.
In the playoffs, the
Colts have been even better. Against two of the hottest backs in the league,
Cincinnatis Jeremy Hill and
Denvers C.J. Anderson, the
Colts allowed a meager 198

yards rushing in two games.


The per-game average of 99.0
yards is the lowest among the
four teams still playing on
championship weekend.
Indys pass defense has
been even stingier.
On Sunday, the Colts secondary challenged Peyton
Manning with press coverage. Manning finished 26 of
46 for 211 yards with one
touchdown and lost a fumble.
We disguised a lot and
we ran to the ball. As a group,
we didnt stop, safety Mike
Adams said. We did great
things and we didnt let the
ball over our head. The corners did a great job. We really
shut down the deep balls.

GREEN BAY, Wis. Seattles Richard


Sherman may have more to do this time
against the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers didnt throw in the Pro Bowl
cornerbacks direction when the teams met in
the season opener in September, a 36-16 win
for the Seahawks.
The game plan for the rematch on Sunday
in the NFC title game is still in flux. Still,
the offense seems better equipped this time
around to face Sherman and Seattles swarming defense.
I dont think anybodys intimidated. I
mean hes a great player, tight end Andrew
Quarless said this week. Their secondary is
definitely a great secondary. Youve got to
give them their respect. But you know the
whole Legion of Boom well see.
More than four months have passed since
that meeting. It is plenty of time for teams to
shape their identities and fix flaws.

Seattle has only improved defensively


since September. But the Packers have had
plenty of time, too, to get their act together.
Running back Eddie Lacys production
has increased dramatically. Jordy Nelson and
Randall Cobb are one of the top receiving
tandems in the league. The offensive line is
providing solid blocking.
And Aaron Rodgers has proven that hes
better than most healthy quarterbacks in the
league, even when slowed by a left calf injury.
I dont think its that much different except
their guys are coming through, Seattle coach
Pete Carroll said. Theyve grown with their
season and theyre at the top of their game.
It wasnt quite that case on Sept. 4 in
Seattle.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy watched
video of the game on Monday morning. He
liked some of what he saw. He pointed to a
few pivotal plays during which the Packers
could have played better.

Local grappling squads have


positives from St. Johns quad
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Wrestling coaches are
looking at getting their athletes healthy
and ready to go, fine-tuning their techniques and getting good competition for
their grapplers at this time of year, with
the post-season quickly approaching in
what seems a short season.
That is what St. Johns, Elida,
Columbus Grove and Lima Central
Catholic were attempting to do at
Monday nights quadrangular at Robert
A. Arnzen Gymnasium.
The Blue Jays also honored their
seniors (Wes Buettner, Austin Schulte,
Alex Haunhorst and Justin Siefker),
parents and coaches between matches.
Though several wrestlers returned
from injuries for the squads, the Blue
Jays in particular still struggled with
having to forfeit at least five weight categories, falling 42-29 to Elida and 36-27
to Columbus Grove.
Head-to-head, we won six of the
eight contested matches against Elida
and five of nine against Grove, so thats
good for us. We got some good matches in and thats what we want, Blue
Jays coach Derek Sterling observed.
It was good to get (freshman) Collin
(Fischer) back from injury; he went 0-2
but wrestled pretty well for just coming
back. Patrick Stevenson got a couple of
matches in; he unfortunately is behind
some wrestlers at his weight category.
We honored our seniors tonight and they
all went 2-0. They have really taken the
leadership of this team that last couple
of weeks and setting the pace. What
this quad does is give us come good
competition.
The Bulldogs of first-year head coach
Brady Overholt who agreed with
Sterlings assessment also beat LCC
38-29.
We wrestled St. Johns and LCC
and outside of Western Buckeye League
teams, these are our two top rivals. We
really had two good matches at 113
and 120 against LCC, he explained.
Blaine (Hunter) was unbeaten coming
into tonight but he had a very tough
match with Hunter Lucas at 120, losing for the first time. Those two have
been going at it for a number of years
and they know each other very well.
However, Aj (Selvaggio) got a big win
over Kobe Cunningham at 113. Those
are the types of matches we are looking
for right now. For example, Id rather
have Blaine lose now than in the tournament and not ideally get back to State; I
dont think theres really an advantage to
being unbeaten anyway. Our guys were
pumped up knowing LCC had three or
four guys coming back.
LCC bested Grove 38-26.
Grove coach Ernie Siefker had mixed
feelings.
Coming off a fourth-place finish at
Greenon over the weekend, I thought

Packers

(Continued from page 7)

As far as not throwing


at Richard Sherman, we
have great respect for their
defense, and theyve earned
that, and no different in
Richards individual case,
McCarthy said. But were
a no-huddle offense and my
thought was, and I told Jordy
in the game plan, Just line up
on the left side.
The thinking was that

Wrestlers

195: Wes Buettner (St. Johns) over Andrew Nichols


(Columbus Grove) Pin 3:45
220: Austin Schulte (St. Johns) over Eli Wiswasser
(Columbus Grove) Pin :43
285; Double Forfeit
Elida 42, St. Johns 29
106: Double Forfeit
113: Aj Selvaggio (Elida) Forfeit

Conference foe, Bluffton was a tougher task, but, again, the


Lancers more than held their own individually despite falling
as a team 54-14.
Dickson was the recipient of a void in the 220-point class to
open things up, before Bollinger took on Blufftons Ryder Romick.
Romick jumped out early and controlled most of the match,
however, and defeated Bollinger by tech-fall, 20-4.
Rodriguez then repaid the favor for his teammate in his
bout with Blufftons James Baudial-Luna. Rodriguez, wrestling up a class at 126-pounds, won easily be tech fall, 22-6.
Alex is one of our seniors and got two big wins. (He took)
the forfeit against Cory Rawson and we bumped him up to 126
to make sure he had a match against Bluffton. Just to get him
wrestling some strength, explained Miller.
Finally, Gibson took on Blufftons Shawn Justus in maybe
the match of the evening.
The two were on the defensive most of the match, and
the score was tied at zero after a period. Eventually, Gibson
recorded a takedown, and Justus answered with an escape to

As the Lady Jays led 48-20 to begin


the final eight minutes, Schulte scored
following an offensive rebound. Vorst
scored again in transition and followed
up her feat as she connected from downtown. Pauldings offense executed an
inbounds play to perfection with a rainbow pass to Vogel for the bucket. Vorst
scored her seventh point of the period on
a layup after the Jays broke Pauldings
full-court press as St. Johns won by 30.
This was a great team victory for
us to get our record even for the season, remarked St. Johns coach Dan
Grothouse. Our defensive pressure
didnt allow Paulding to get comfortable
in running their offense and in turn created points off of Panther turnovers. Our
offense showed great patience against

Colts

How did the Colts make such a dramatic shift in just three
years? By getting bigger and stronger up front.
In 2012, Indy started the conversion by signing free agent
defensive end Cory Redding, drafting rookie defensive tackle
Josh Chapman, moving Robert Mathis to outside linebacker
and adding inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman from the CFL.
General manager Ryan Grigson then traded a second-round
pick to Miami for cornerback Vontae Davis, who has blossomed into a Pro Bowler.
In 2013, Grigson continued to follow the long-range plan
by singing defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois, safety LaRon
Landry, cornerback Greg Toler and outside linebacker Erik

In a 26-21 win over

which he held onto for the win.
Gibson finished 2-0 for the Lancers on the evening.
Jacob, being a senior, hes been battling come injuries,
described Miller. Hes come off the injuries and came out and
wrestled hard. This is probably the best that hes wrestled all
year. Two wins are big, he did a nice job.
Dickson finished the evening 2-0 as well, with the forfeit,

Our team is pretty young. So anytime that we get them

them grow every time they wrestle. And everybody walked

Also beneficial for the team is facing opponents who they

Fresh Encounter stores dedicated


to fighting local hunger
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
FINDLAY Fresh Encounter, Inc.
stores are doing their part to help alleviate food shortage concerns
throughout the states of Ohio
and Indiana by recently collecting $21,722 through the
Making Change initiative.
We dont think families
across Ohio and Indiana should
be worrying about the source of
their next meal, stated Fresh
Encounter President/CEO Michael
Needler, Jr. The Making Change program allows us the freedom to focus
donations to areas with the most or
immediate need.
The funds raised were part of a collaborative effort between Great Scot,

stocks rose Tuesday as the
market rebounded after two
days of losses. The market
got a lift from a survey that
suggested the rapid pace of
hiring in 2014 would continue
this year. A separate survey
showed that small businesses
remain confident for the outlook on growth.
KEEPING SCORE: The
Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 13 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,041 as of 1:14 p.m.
Eastern time. The Dow Jones
industrial average climbed
143 points, or 0.8 percent, to
17,783. The Nasdaq composite gained 48, or 1.1 percent,
to 4,713.
JOBS OUTLOOK: U.S.
employers advertised the
most job openings in nearly 14 years in November,
the Labor Department said
Tuesday. That suggests businesses are determined to keep
adding staff because they are
confident that strong economic growth will create more
demand for their goods and
services.
Job openings rose 2.9
percent to 4.97 million in
November, the most since
January 2001. More job
vacancies generally lead to
more hiring.
OIL STAYS VOLATILE:
The price of oil continued to
slide. Oil fell after the energy
minister for the United Arab
Emirates said Tuesday there
are no plans for OPEC to curb
production to shore up falling
crude prices. The price of oil
has slumped 57 percent since
last June as traders bet that the
supply glut will persist.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell
52 cents to $45.52 a barrel in

majority of the funds supporting local


non-profit organizations focusing on food
assistance. Donations were collected
from Nov. 1 to Jan. 4. This is the sixth
year that Fresh Encounter stores have
participated in the program and the first
for newly-acquired Chief supermarkets.
We are doing all we can to support
our communities by hiring local, sourcing local products and giving back to

local economies, commented Needler.


There is no greater cause than to support
the communities where we live and work.
We partner with charities that maintain
that same philosophy as well.

Tiny Cokes: Less guilt means


more money for makers
NEW YORK (AP) Americans want to
cut back on soda, and theyre willing to pay
more to do it.
With people drinking less soda amid
health concerns, Coke and Pepsi are pushing
smaller cans and bottles that contain fewer
calories and, they say, induce less guilt. That
all comes at a price: Those cute little cans
can cost more than twice as much per ounce.
The shift means 7.5-ounce mini-cans
and 8-ounce and 8.5-ounce glass and aluminum bottles are taking up more space on
supermarket shelves. The cans and bottles
have been around for a few years, but Coke
and Pepsi are making them more widely
available and marketing them more aggressively.
As part of its Share-a-Coke campaign
that printed popular names on cans and
bottles last year, for instance, Coke says it
distributed a million mini-cans.
The focus on pushing smaller packages signals a shift from the past couple of
decades, when beverage makers measured
success by the sheer volume of soda they
sold. Yet soda consumption has declined persistently in recent years, with public health
officials blaming it for making people fat and
calling for special taxes and even warning
labels on cans.
Soda hit its peak in 1998, when Americans
on average drank the equivalent of 576 cans
of it a year, according to data from the industry tracker Beverage Digest. That figure was
down to about 450 cans a year in 2013.
Instead of fighting what seems to be
a losing battle, Coke and Pepsi are pushing smaller cans and bottles that give their
products a sense of newness among the
growing proliferation of beverage choices.
The companies also say the tiny sizes cater
to peoples desire for more modest servings.
Coca-Cola is so delicious, but its like
sun tanning or cigarettes theyre these
wonderful things that we now know are horrible for us, said Lauren Utvich, a 31-yearold food stylist in New York, who bought the
Coke mini-cans when she first spotted them.
Utvich doesnt normally drink soda, but
she likes that the mini-cans turn Coke into
a relatively guiltless treat. But thats not
the only reason she bought them. Lets be
honest. I like them because theyre freaking
adorable, said Utvich, who didnt pay attention to how much they cost.
During a presentation in November,
Cokes North American president Sandy

Douglas said the health and wellness trend


has set up a tremendous opportunity for the
Coca-Cola brand with our smaller packages.
He noted a regular 12-ounce can of Coke on
average sell for 31 cents. By comparison, a 7.5ounce mini-can sells for 40 cents. That translates
to 2.6 cents-per-ounce for a regular can, versus
5.3 cents-per ounce for the mini version.
Coca-Cola said that while it may be
selling less soda, smaller packs are pushing
up revenue. Sales of Cokes smaller sizes
which include a 1.25-liter bottle as an
alternative to the 2-liter bottle were up 9
percent last year through October, according
to the presentation by Douglas. By comparison, sales of its 12-ounce cans and 2-liter
bottles edged up 0.1 percent.
That doesnt mean Coke and Pepsi are
abandoning their more generous servings,
which still dominate the industry. And its
not clear how big the appetite for the newer
cans and bottles can grow over time. In
2013, mini-cans accounted for 1.1 percent
of sales volume in supermarkets, according
to Beverage Digest. But they accounted for
2.4 percent of sales dollars, more than double
their volume share.
Bonnie Herzog, a Wells Fargo beverage
industry analyst, said the smaller options are
part of how Coke is repositioning itself amid
changing habits around soda. She noted
the company is also pushing Coke Life, a
reduced-calorie drink sweetened with a mix
of sugar and stevia.
Its responsible and its realistic, Herzog
said, noting the smaller sizes are marketed as
moments of pleasure people dont have to
give up.
Sodas bad reputation, after all, is in
part the result of mushrooming sizes. For
decades, Coke was sold primarily in 6.5ounce glass bottles. In 1955, the company
started introducing larger servings after
Pepsi-Cola marketed a bigger glass bottle,
according to Dan Deane, president of the
Coca-Cola Collectors Club.
Eventually, he noted Coke sold a 3-liter
plastic bottle in some regions.
Fountain sodas got bigger, too. In 1976,
7-Eleven introduced its 32-ounce Big Gulp,
followed by a Double Gulp that holds 64
ounces, or a half-gallon of liquid. A small
drink at McDonalds today is 16 ounces,
while a large is 30 ounces. But the bigger
sizes that helped enrich Coke and Pepsi also

culprit for the nations obesity rates.

Money
attorney. Whether the price
is high is another matter,
and even then, there are no
guarantees that this man can
be compelled by the courts
to turn that money over to
your granddaughter. You
can understand why hes not
cooperating with her.
There is no question of
her need for the money, and
I could give you a number of
things to try, but they wouldnt
do you any good. I am sorry,
but you will have to consult an
attorney. Good luck.
DEAR BRUCE: What do
people do who do not have
enough finances to afford
retirement? I will be lucky
to have $1,000 from Social
Security, and with a late start
on my IRA account, I will be
72 before I can tap into it. Are
there places where I can live
and volunteer my time for
living expenses and low-cost
medical care? -- Linda
DEAR LINDA: I certainly can understand how a
person can fall on hard times.
There may be someplace that
you can volunteer your time in
exchange for medical care and
living expenses, but I have not
been able to find even one.
That having been said,
your best shot is to consult the
Internet and search for this
type of activity. I wouldnt
hold out any strong hope
for an outcome of a positive
nature, but you have nothing
to lose by trying. Please let
me know how you make out.

DEAR BRUCE: Eight


years ago I fell off the roof
and broke my neck. We were
told I would never recover.
My wife then took it upon
herself to divorce me and
manipulate things to put me
into great debt. I am trying to
put all that behind me.
I have recently started
looking for a house. My credit
score is in the 670 range,
but I have three judgments
against me. With the judgments, I find I cant get a
traditional mortgage. I have
found a home where the previous owner is willing to hold
the mortgage. What caution
should I take in proceeding
with this? -- D.M.
DEAR D.M.: You have
certainly had your share of
bad luck, and I sympathize.
I hope that you are now on
your way to both physical and
mental recovery.
You mentioned your wife
took it upon herself to put you
in debt. I would be curious to
know how she did that, but
first, with all the judgments,
you must ask yourself if it
is wise right now, while you
are trying to get back on your
feet, to purchase a home. I
think the answer to that is
no. You will be much better
off to find a modest home/
apartment/condo to rent for
the next few years until you
get your credit score built up,
satisfy the judgments, and get
yourself in a much stronger
position than you are now.
I wish you all the luck in
the world.
DEAR BRUCE: My
granddaughter is married to a
man who will be in prison for
the rest of his life. He worked
at the same place for over 10
years and has a 401(k), which
no one can get to. He refuses
to sign the papers. She is the
one who put him in prison,
and it is unlikely he ever will
sign.
She needs the money
desperately for the children.
Other than hiring a highpriced attorney, is there any
way she can get this money?
He refuses to have any contact with her. -- M.B.
DEAR M.B.: Youre
going to have to consult an

Before you lose your cool,


find out what makes you hot
DEAR ABBY: Im a
good person, but when I get
frustrated over something, I
fly off the handle. I date, have
several close friends and a
good job in a field I enjoy.
Stresses in life are normal.
But sometimes I blow up
over things. When it happens,
I can see my co-workers
and friends are taken aback
by my behavior. I need to
improve this. Im worried my
explosive temper will affect
my relationships, my job
and the people I see socially.
I heard you have a booklet
about this issue. Where can I
get one, and do you have any
advice for me? -- HOT AND
BOTHERED IN ATLANTA
DEAR
HOT
AND
BOTHERED: Yes, I do.
While anger is a normal
emotion, the problem with
a hair-trigger temper is that
people who fly off the handle
often shoot themselves in the
foot. Thats why its important
to develop tools to recognize,
control and channel anger
effectively without exploding.
A first step in doing that is
to analyze what may be setting
you off. Does being overtired,
hungry or not feeling up to
par cause you to lash out?
Feeling vulnerable has been

known to make people feel


angry and has negatively
affected relationships. When a
persons beliefs or values are
questioned, they can become
angry and, believe it or not,
low self-esteem causes people
to fly off the handle. People
who suffer from feelings
of inadequacy constantly
try to prove themselves -which drives them to win
every battle whether its a
discussion about sports or any
other subject that arises.
Most adults learn from early
childhood to manage anger.
But its equally important to
learn to EXPRESS anger in
ways that are constructive. In
my booklet The Anger in All
of Us and How to Deal With
It, I offer tools for channeling
anger. (First among them is to
recognize you are becoming
angry before losing control.)
It also contains suggestions
for managing and expressing
anger appropriately. It can
be ordered by sending your
name and mailing address,
plus a check or money order
for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear
Abby -- Anger Booklet, P.O.
Box 447, Mount Morris, IL
61054-0447. Shipping and
handling are included in the
price. I hope it will be helpful

for you. It takes maturity


to identify and verbalize
negative emotions rather than
lash out at others. Being able
to calmly say, When you
do that (or say that) it makes
me angry will earn you the
respect of others. And its the
key to defusing anger before
losing control.
DEAR ABBY: What are
my financial obligations if I
invite a gentleman to a formal
out-of-state wedding? Must I
pay 100 percent for airfare,
hotel, meals and clothing? -PROPER MISS IN OHIO
DEAR PROPER MISS:
If the man is a gentleman,
he will offer to split the
cost of the airfare, hotel and
meals with you. If hes not
-- or cant afford it -- then the
person footing the bills will
be you and only you.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also
known as Jeanne Phillips,
and was founded by her
mother, Pauline Phillips.

A pictures worth a thousand pixels


For lunch, Sue and
I had a hamburger
and fries at our local
diner. Let me send
you a picture of us
eating it so you can
see it.
Oh yeah, I forgot:
Why on Earth would
we do that? You dont
care, I dont care, Sue
doesnt care and from
the taste of it, the
diner doesnt care.
Why
would
anyone waste pixels
photographing their
food? Yet all across
the country and all
around the world,
there are people doing
that very thing right
now. There are even
demented
people
walking
around
with
expandable
metal rods called
selfie sticks that let
them trigger their
cellphone cameras
from a considerable
distance, so they
can take pictures of
themselves,
their
friends and their food
at the same time.
These pictures will all
end up on Facegram
or
Instabook
or
Spamtastic
within
seconds, and then
disappear
forever
into some massive
databank at some
spy agency. The
only time they will

ever resurface is if
you decide to run
for office or are
appointed to a cabinet
position.
Whoever decided
it would be a good
idea to put cameras
in cellphones should
be run out of town
on a rail. Now that
would be worthy of
a picture. Of course,
well never find the
person responsible,
because he or she has
so much money that
they are probably
living on their own
super-secure, billiondollar island like
some villain in a
James Bond movie.
Where did we ever
get this idea that
everything is better
if you take a picture
of it? We all know
couples who spent
thousands of dollars
on their wedding
pictures and are
now having monthlong battles over
who gets custody of
the money. Did the
photographs
make
their marriage better?
Ill bet none of those
couples fight over
who gets custody
of their wedding
photographs. Even
people who have
been happily married
for 50 years never

look at them. That


may be the secret of a
long marriage: Dont
dwell on the past.
Does your food
taste better if you
take a picture of it?
Theres one blog out
there where people
post pictures of every
airline meal they have
ever been served. I
didnt even know
airlines still served
food; these people
must be traveling in
first class. But whats
the point of traveling
in first class if youre
sitting next to a yahoo
taking pictures of his
food like hes never
seen mashed potatoes
before?
What is your
problem with people
taking
pictures?
asked my friend
Betsy the other day,
after she snapped me
with a cat on my lap.
I dont want to
sound like a crank, I
said, but ...
Oh, she said,
dont worry about it.
That ship has already
sailed.
Everyone
knows youre a
crank.
I am not a crank,
I said, and realized
that it sounded pretty
crankish as soon as I
said it. Only cranks
say things like I am
not a crank.
Im petting my
cat. Why do I need a
picture of that?
Because
Im
going to put it on
Facebook,
Betsy
said.
But I dont want
to be on Facebook.
Dont I get a say in
this?
Its all about you,
isnt it? Think about

Jim Mullen

The Village
Idiot

somebody else for


once in your life.
Yes, what is my
problem?
Why
wouldnt I want
someone to post my
picture to hundreds
of people that I dont
know?
Betsy came back
over today and said,
I dont know how
to tell you this, but
your picture didnt
get very many Likes.
Everybody
said
you looked like that
creepy villain in You
Only Live Twice.
Could you please try
to be a little more
Facebook-worthy?
Weve all heard
stories of people and
tribes who think that
having their picture
taken will capture
their souls. I think its
the other way around:
The people taking
the pictures seem to
be the ones who are
captured.
Would you rather
have a life or a
photograph of your
life?

Quiet year in terms of tax changes, but ACA provides twist


WASHINGTON
(AP)

President Barack Obamas signature health care law will bring a


new twist to tax-filing in 2015, a
year in which much else will seem
familiar when youre working on
your return.
Its been a very quiet season or
tax year in terms of congressional action, says Bob Meighan, vice
president of customer advocacy at
TurboTax, the tax-preparation software company.
Sure, there have been adjustments for inflation in the tax tables,
standard deduction and value of
each exemption. But what could
have been a stunner the expiration of a series of popular tax breaks
was forestalled by Congress
in a last-minute move before it
adjourned last month.
Unlike last year, there will be

no delay to the start of the tax season, despite the late congressional
passage of the tax extenders. The
Internal Revenue Service said it
would begin accepting electronic
returns and processing paper ones
as scheduled on Jan. 20.
We have reviewed the late tax
law changes and determined there
was nothing preventing us from
continuing our updating and testing
of our systems, IRS Commissioner
John Koskinen said in a statement.
So gather up those W-2s, 1099s,
receipts and other data needed to
file; you have about three months.
The deadline remains April 15,
although extensions are possible.
If youre due a refund, however,
you might be in for a wait.
Noting that people have gotten
very used to being able to file their
return and quickly getting a refund,

Koskinen said at a news conference


in December that this year we may
not have the resources, the people
to provide refunds as quickly as we
have in the past.
He blamed budget cuts, and
declined to predict how long refunds
would take. In previous years, it
was about 21 days for those who
filed electronically.
Last year, the IRS processed
nearly 150 million individual tax
returns, up about 1 percent from
2013. The average refund was
$2,792.
Electronic filing continues to
gain popularity; only about 16 percent of last years returns were on
paper.
Filing electronically is the most
accurate way to file a tax return and
the fastest way to get a refund, the
IRS said.

The biggest change for tax filers


this year concerns the Affordable
Care Act and the requirement that
everybody have health insurance.
The first year truly will be the
hardest in dealing with ACA, said
Dave Duval, vice president for consumer advocacy at TaxAudit.com.
If you got insurance through an
employer, from the private marketplace, or through a federal or
state exchange without a subsidy,
you simply check a box on line
61 of Form 1040 affirming that
you had full coverage. You dont
send in documents for review, said
Greg Rosica, tax partner at Ernst &
Young.
But there are new forms to deal
with, from the exchanges confirming your coverage and from the
IRS.
Form 8962 will help determine if

you got the right advance payment


of the premium tax credit, or if it
was too large because you underestimated income or had a life change,
such as a new job with a higher
salary. In that case, you might have
to pay back some or all the advance
payment. If you lost your job, you
might be entitled to more in the
form of an additional tax credit.
This year many people did not
go back to update their information, said Kathy Pickering, executive director of the Tax Institute at
H&R Block.
Form 8965 will help you figure out whether you qualify for
an exemption to the mandatory
health coverage and can avoid a
penalty. Tax experts advise people
who didnt have coverage to look
through the list of more than 30
coverage exemptions.

Defiant Charlie Hebdo fronts


Muhammad, drawing more threats Obama wants to remove barriers
to greater broadband access
PARIS (AP) In an emotional act of defiance, Charlie
Hebdo resurrected its irreverent and often provocative
newspaper Tuesday, featuring
a caricature of the Prophet
Muhammad on the cover that
drew immediate criticism and
threats of more violence.
The newspaper unapologetically skewered other religions as well, and bragged
that Sundays turnout of a
million people at a march in
Paris to condemn terrorism
was larger than for Mass.
For the past week,
Charlie, an atheist newspaper, has achieved more miracles than all the saints and
prophets combined, it said
in the editions lead editorial.
The one we are most proud
of is that you have in your
hands the newspaper that we
always made.
Working out of borrowed
offices, surviving staff published an unprecedented print
run of 3 million copies
more than 50 times the usual
circulation.
It was to appear on news-

stands today, one week to the


day after the assault by two
masked gunmen that killed
12 people, including much
of the weeklys editorial staff
and two police officers. It
was the beginning of three
days of terror that saw 17
people killed before the three
Islamic extremist attackers
were gunned down by security forces.
Before the new edition
was even released, one of
Egypts top Islamic authorities had warned Charlie
Hebdo against publishing
more cartoons of the Prophet
Muhammad. Dar al-Ifta,
which is in charge of issuing religious edicts, called
the planned cover an unjustified provocation for millions of Muslims who respect
and love their prophet and
warned the cartoon would
likely spark a new wave of
hatred.
Indeed, criticism and
threats immediately appeared
on militant websites, with
calls for more strikes against
the newspaper and anony-

mous threats from radicals, according to the SITE


Intelligence Group, a U.S.based terrorism monitor.
The latest cover shows a
weeping Muhammad, holding a sign reading I am
Charlie with the words All
is forgiven above him. Zineb
El Rhazoui, a journalist with
the weekly, said the cover
meant the journalists are forgiving the extremists for the
attack.
Renald Luzier, the cartoonist who drew the cover
image under the pen name
Luz, said it represents just
a little guy whos crying.
Then he added, unapologetically: Yes, it is
Muhammad.
Speaking at a news conference in which he repeatedly broke down crying, Luzier
described weeping after he
drew the picture.
I wrote everything
is pardoned, and I cried,
he said, adding that at that
moment the staff understood
the drawing would be the
cover.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Obama


administration wants to provide greater access to fast Internet broadband
service in towns and cities across the
country by encouraging the Federal
Communications Commission to remove
legal barriers to competition by Internet
service providers. It also wants to help
local communities improve their service
with government loans and grants.
The modest proposals do not require
congressional approval and are part of
a series of measures President Barack
Obama is rolling out before his State of
the Union address next week.
Obama will detail his broadband plans
today in Cedar Falls, Iowa, a community that has taken steps to provide highspeed Internet to its residents.
In a White House video before the
announcement, Obama says: You know
what it feels like when you dont have a
good Internet connection. Everything is
buffering, you try to download a video and
youve got that little circle thing that goes
round and round, its really aggravating.
There are real world consequences
to this and it makes us less economically
competitive, he says.
Jeff Zients, director of Obamas National
Economic Council, said Obama wants to use
the bully pulpit of the presidency to press the
FCC, an independent regulatory agency, to
ensure that all states have a playing field
that allows for a vibrant and competitive
market for communication services.
The administrations stance would put

it at odds with major cable and telephone


companies such as AT&T, Comcast and Time
Warner Cable Inc. that currently provide
Internet service, often with little or no competition. Obama has already angered the industry by calling for new FCC rules that treat
Internet service providers as public utilities.
Nineteen states place restrictions on
municipal broadband networks.
The FCC is already considering
requests for Chattanooga, Tennessee, and
Wilson, North Carolina, to prevent state
laws from blocking the expansion of
their broadband projects. FCC Chairman
Tom Wheeler said in June that communities that want to provide their own
broadband service shouldnt be stopped
by state laws promoted by cable and
telephone companies that dont want that
competition.
A new White House report says that
while 94 percent of Americans living in
urban areas can purchase an Internet connection of 25 megabits per second, only
51 percent of Americans in rural areas
have access to such Internet speeds.
The report also says that because of lack
of competition three out of four Americans
lack a choice for such Internet service.
The White House also announced
that the Commerce Department would
promote greater broadband access by
hosting regional workshops and offering
technical assistance to communities. The
Department of Agriculture also will provide grants and loans of $40 million to
$50 million to assist rural areas.

Todays joke:
One day, a cowboy rode into a Wild, Wild West town.
The people in the town love to play jokes on visitors.
After tying his horse to the pole outside a bar, the cowboy went in.
A cup of milk please, he said to the bartender.
After drinking, he went out, only to find his horse
missing. Knowing that the villagers did it, he went back
into the bar and said to everybody, I am going to have
another drink and when I finish it, I want to see my
horse outside! Or else, I will have to do what I did in
Texas - HERE!
The people were very frightened. When he finished
his drink, he went outside and saw his horse. The villagers had put it back.
Curious, the bartender asked the cowboy, What did
you do in Texas?
The cowboy replied, Well, I had to walk home.
