Vol. 145 No. 82
Riddell resigns as council president

By NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
[email protected]
DELPHOS Delphos City

Council will have an empty seat
for a while. President Kim Riddell
tendered her resignation Monday
evening during the council meeting,
effective immediately.
Riddell, who took office in
January 2012, cited personal reasons
and a potential conflict of interest.
I am going to step aside to avoid
a potential situation that could be
viewed as a conflict of interest,
Riddell said Monday.
President Pro-Tem Mark Clement
will take the helm at the next council
meeting on Oct. 20. Since Riddell ran
as a non-partisan write-in candidate,
neither the Republican or Democratic
parties can find her replacement.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier said the
city is verifying the correct procedure to fill that spot.

also submitted correspondence noting he would likely not be in attendance at meetings in October due to
health concerns.
Council heard first reading on a
temporary 2015 Budget. The budget closely mirrors the 2014 budget
with the addition of the Park Fund
to account for the passage and collection of the recent Income Tax
Increase Levy and donation lines
for the police and fire departments.
Projects that will be completed in
2014 were removed. In all, appropriations for 2015 total $15,847,739.
When passed, the temporary budget will be in effect from Jan. 1, 2o15
to March 31, 2015.
An ordinance establishing the
employee share of premiums for
health insurance was passed on emergency measure. Prior to its passage,
Councilman Josh Gillespie asked the
ordinance to be amended to show an
increase from 6 percent to 10 percent
for the employee share.
Councilman Joe Martz gave his opin-
ion of increasing the employee share.

We are already asking our
employees to sacrifice hours and
they are working with less people,
Martz said. I dont think this is a
good move at this time.
Gallmeier agreed.
We are down from 51 employees
to 34, he said. The employees we
have are doing a great job but they
are working harder and are shortstaffed. I think its fair to keep their
payment the same.
The amendment was defeated
with Gillespie and Councilman
Del Kemper casting the only yes
votes. In turn, the pair cast the only
no votes on ordinances emergency
measure and passage.
Safety Service Director Shane
Coleman reminded everyone of the
7 p.m. Wednesday meeting concerning updates on plans to the increase
wastewater treatment plant efficiency
and address problems with the existing membranes used in the treatment
process of the waste. Wastewater
Superintendent Todd Teman will

lead the meeting which is open to
the public.
Coleman also noted the city has
secured a source for salt for the
upcoming winter.
We did secure 250 tons
through the Ohio Department of
Transportation at $105.25 per ton,
Coleman said. We will only use
what we need but that much and a
50-ton reserve we have on hand is
available. If we need more than that,
well have to address it at the time.
The city paid $38 per ton for salt
last winter.
Coleman added that the Clay
Street water line project is another
step closer to reality with the approval from the railroad. The line travels
under the tracks on Clay Street.
We will work with BUNGE on
that so we dont interrupt their busiest time but wed like to get that
done this year, Coleman said.
The next regular council meeting
will begin at 7 p.m. Oct. 20.
Village eyes $105

per ton for road salt
SPENCERVILLE - Spencerville
Village learned the Allen County
Engineers office has sent official notification the village is going under the Ohio
Department of Transportation (ODOT)
salt contract this year for $105.25/
ton from Village Administrator Sean
Chapman Monday night.
Last year, one ton of salt was $38, so
we will order a maximum of 40 tons, he
added. We are cutting back due to the
price and we will only use salt at highprofile intersections.
He detailed that ODOT has ordered
and will pay for close to 171,000 tons
of salt from South America, which will
be delivered, by barge, to Toledo and
Cleveland and then delivered to various ODOT posts. The village will then
be responsible for picking up the salt or
work with the Allen County Engineer on
deliveries.
Spencerville Police Chief Darin Cook
reported there has been a man driving
around the village trying to sell meat
from a freezer in the back of a pick-up
truck.
He seems to be in town on Tuesdays
and Thursdays and has not registered with
the police department, Cook said. We
dont know if he is legitimate or not and
could be advertising selling beef when it
could be some other kind of meat.
Cook said he would like to have a
conversation with the man and requests
anyone seeing or having contact with the
individual to call the police department.

Students planning Exploration Garden

The planning has started for the Exploration Garden to be designed, planted and cared
for by the students at St. Johns. The Exploration Garden is being funded by Voya Unsung

Early voting begins

following dispute
COLUMBUS (AP) Some Ohio voters sought to avoid potential Election Day
hassles by casting their ballots Tuesday, when
early voting for the fall races kicked off in the
swing state.
Adrian Strickland lives steps from a voting site in Columbus, but thats not why he
decided to vote early.
I hate the last-minute voting. The lines are
just too long, said Strickland, a 51-year-old
supervisor of nutrition services at a hospital.
Voters will pick the next governor along
with other statewide officeholders on Nov. 4.
Residents also will decide a number of legislative races and the outcome of more than
1,600 local issues.
Ohioans can cast an absentee ballot by
mail or in person. The state says more than
650,000 voters have already requested absentee ballots to vote early.
The start of early voting shifted last month
amid a lawsuit over two election-related measures.
One was a Republican-backed state law
trimming the early voting period from 35 days
to typically 28 days. It eliminated so-called
golden week, when people could both register
to vote and cast a ballot. The other measure
was a directive issued by the states elections
chief that sets uniform early voting times
across the state and restricted weekend and
evening hours.
The American Civil Liberties Union of
Ohio challenged the measures in a lawsuit
brought in May on behalf of the states
NAACP chapter and others.
On Sept. 4, a federal judge temporarily
blocked the law from taking effect this fall.
His ruling moved the start of early voting to
Sept. 30 and lengthened the voting schedule.
But a ruling last week from the U.S.
Supreme Court returned the start date to
Tuesday, following a request from state officials.
Democrats have used the dispute to rally
their base to cast an early ballot. All the
partys statewide candidates planned to vote
Tuesday.
Ed FitzGerald, the Democrat vying for
governor, was one of two people voting
Tuesday afternoon in Cleveland. He has trailed
Republican Gov. John Kasich in the polls and
in campaign cash, but said he planned to work
hard to get his message out in the remaining
days before the election.
Well see what the voters have to say,
FitzGerald said. Thats all we can do.
Kasich did not vote Tuesday and was still
deciding when and by what method to do so,
a campaign spokeswoman said. The governor
appeared at veterans-related campaign event
in Cincinnati.

5 reasons why your kid should collect stamps

Associated Press
Even avid collectors will
tell you: Stamp collecting
is not the flashiest of hobbies. It isnt trendy. It doesnt
speed past you at the breakneck pace of a video game
or offer the manic energy of
a Cartoon Network television
show.
It rewards patience and
persistence, teaching those
who embrace it about everything from ancient history to
modern graphic design.
And thats exactly why a
growing community of parents and teachers believe its
a hobby worth encouraging
kids to pursue.
At the Postal History
Foundation in Tucson,
Arizona, Lisa Dembowski
and her colleagues work with
more than 14,000 kids each
year in person and online,
sharing lesson plans with
teachers and sending packets
of stamps to kids. Dembowski
doesnt have precise figures,

but she has seen an increase
in the last couple of years in
the number of parents and
school groups ordering stamp
packets.
Richard Rizzo, director of
the stamp outreach program
at the International Society of
Worldwide Stamp Collectors,
fields requests from thousands of young collectors,
schoolteachers, scout troops
and youth stamp clubs. He
also receives grateful emails
from teachers who say their
students are surprised at just
how much fun this retro
hobby can be.
I had a group of high
school students in my French
class roll their eyes at me
when I asked if they had
any interest in stamps, South
Carolina high school teacher
Donna Boggs wrote to Rizzo
recently. But then once I
brought out the stamps,
well, their attitudes changed
fast! They were fascinated,
and could not stop looking

through them.
Child
development
experts say the benefits are
many; the challenge is to get
kids started. Cool stamps
arent arriving in the mailbox
much now that ground mail is
less common. And few kids
know others who are already
collecting stamps. So parents
and teachers have to start the
ball rolling.
Five reasons why they
should:
1. Kids can develop
patience and focus.
Sorting through stamps
and building a collection
requires a very different kind of attention than
video games or television
do, says Miranda GoodmanWilson, assistant professor
of psychology at Eckerd
College in St. Petersburg,
Florida. Quick-cut TV shows
make very rapid demands
on childrens attention, she
says, while stamp collecting requires more sustained
focus.
The intricacies of a tiny
image printed on a piece of
paper, and the story of why
that particular image was
printed on a stamp, draws
kids in, slowing down their
racing minds.
When youre looking at
stamps, you spend a little
more time than in our instantgratification activities, says
Gretchen Moody, director of
education at the American
Philatelic Society.
2. Kids develop expertise.
Child
development
research has shown that
children have an impressive capacity for classifying
objects and remembering

details if given the opportunity, says Julia Heberle,
associate professor of psychology at Albright College
in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Children, even young children, she says, can accumulate a lot of organized,
detailed expert knowledge.
Goodman-Wilson agrees:
Stamp collecting helps even
very young kids build categorizing and counting skills,
and geographic awareness. It
can serve as a natural learning opportunity, she says.
As a teaching tool, every
stamp has a story to tell,
Rizzo says. What country
issued the stamp? Does the
country still exist? Where
in the world is the country
located?
Some kids focus on
U.S. stamps, learning about
U.S. history and famous
Americans. Others might collect stamps from their countries of ancestry. They learn
about languages, currencies
and historical figures, Moody
says, leading to a better
awareness of who you are in
this global society.
3. Kids discover stunning
artwork and intricate graphic
design.
Stamps were once both
useful and beautiful. Today,
some of their usefulness
has been replaced by email
and the Internet. But many
remain beautiful, and offer a
lesson in expressing whats
important and celebrated in a
given culture on the tiniest of
canvases.

We have entered the month of October. Its

so hard to believe that autumn is here and the
trees are showing their autumn splendor. Our
yard is accumulating
more leaves every
day.
Daughter Verena,
16, and I just came
home from town.
Verena had a dentist
appointment and we
picked up some groceries. I decided to
quickly write my column before the children come home from
school when the house
wont be so quiet.
Tomorrow we plan to go to a U-pick to
gather grapes. Friday and Saturday will be
spent canning grape juice. I have two steamers now so canning the juice should go faster.
Ill be glad when that job is done, and will be
even happier to have some grape juice again.
Sunday we hosted a dinner for almost 60
people. Some were local families and we also
had quite a few out of state visitors. Timothy
and Mose (daughters Elizabeths and Susans
special friends) helped my husband Joe grill
pork steak and chicken for the noon meal.
They had several grills going and started
around 9 a.m. We raised the chickens ourselves, and readers will remember when we
butchered and froze them a few weeks ago.
Also on the menu besides pork steak and
chicken were: mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, corn, coleslaw, dill pickles, homemade
bread, strawberry jam, butter, Jell-O cake,
cheesecake, peanut butter and sugar cookies,
12-layer rainbow Jell-O, ice cream, coffee
and lemonade. The men also grilled banana
and jalapeo peppers with sour cream and
seasoning.
It was a very nice, sunny day. The afternoon was spent with some playing croquet,
and visiting out on the front porch. It was so
nice to enjoy the lovely day outside. Im sure
we wont have too many more days like that
before winter arrives.
Joe and sons Benjamin, 15, Joseph, 12,
and Kevin, 9, spent Saturday cleaning out our
other garden. They planted winter radishes
for a cover crop in the garden.
We still had green tomatoes on our tomato
plants. The boys picked them all. A good way
to keep the green tomatoes from ripening too
fast is to wrap them in newspaper and store
in a cool place. I think it gives them a better
flavor than if they are just out in the open to
ripen.
The sun is shining in through the door
and Elizabeths puppy, Izzy, lays on the
floor where the sun hits it. Like most dogs,
she loves to soak the warmth of the sun on
these chilly days. That puppy gets so spoiled
around here.
For this weeks recipe Ill share the 12-layer
rainbow Jell-O that sister Emma made, from
a cookbook that my sisters Verena and Susan
put together and are selling now. It is recipes collected from my brothers and sisters,
nieces, nephews and their children. They also
have pictures throughout the book, including of the house in which we grew up. The

Kalida girls
seize PCL crown
BY CHARLIE
WARNIMONT
DHI Media Correspondent
[email protected]
CONTINENTAL The last

few years the Putnam County
League girls soccer championship has come down to the
Kalida and Continental match.
And like the previous contests the battle for championship resulted in a tightlycontested match. And like the
previous contests when all
was said and done the Lady
Cats had won, or shared, the
title.
Kalida scored twice
in the final 11 minutes
of the contest to pull
out a 4-2 win over the
Pirates on a soggy afternoon in Continental. The Lady
Cats win the title with a 4-0
PCL record and they are 11-2-2
overall. Continental is 3-1-0 in
the PCL and 9-5-1 overall.
It was a hard-fought, PCL
championship game, because
who ever won this game was
the champion and thats the
way its been the last three,
four years, Kalida coach
David Kehres said. This is
a great rivalry. The weather
circumstances were not ideal,
but both teams played in it,
played through it and it was
a good game, back and forth.
We had a lead, they tied it, but
we regained our composure
and score two more goals.
Im very proud of the girls
effort dealing with a momentum switch like that.
Kalida had a 2-0 lead with
28:14 left to play as Makenna
Vorst scored a goal from 12
yards out. Having dominated
play much of the contest that
lead appeared to be enough

for Kalida to lay claim to its
sixth straight PCL championship. However, Continental
finally found some offense
behind their leading scorer
Makenna Scott.
With 24:03 left in the contest, Scott took a long pass
from the Kalida side of the
field and out raced two Lady
Cat defenders towards the
goal where she blasted a shot
past Kalida keeper Morgan
Knapke from the right side of
the box. Three and a half minutes later the same scenario
played out for Scott as
she collected another
long pass and once she
was behind the Kalida
defense she was able
to tie the contest at 2-2
with 20:32 left.
We were able to get
the ball to our playmaker,
Makenna, and she was able
to get a couple of goals and
tie this up, Pirate coach Toby
Bidlack said. We talked at
halftime that we had to toughen up in the middle of the
field as they were winning
a lot of the 50-50 balls and
giving themselves extra possessions. The second half I
thought we did a better job
of that and we were able to
get the ball forward and make
some things happen.
Twenty seconds after Scott
tied the game, Kalida senior
Jackie Gardner had a chance
to regain the lead for Kalida,
but her shot bounced off the
right post. She had another
chance two minutes later that
Pirate second half keeper
Ashley Mansfield gobbled up.

Cardinals spoil St. Johns Senior Night

By LARRY HEIING
[email protected]
DELPHOS It was Senior Night
Tuesday night as the St. Johns Blue
Jays hosted the New Bremen Cardinals
in Midwest Athletic Conference volleyball action.
Four Lady Blue Jays - Samantha
Kramer, Kestley Hulihan, Rebekah
Fischer and Colleen Schulte played
their final home regular season match
on the hardwood of Robert A. Arnzen
gymnasium.
The Cardinals spoiled the celebration with a 4-set victory: 25-17, 25-18,
24-26, 25-21.
St. Johns led the first set as junior
Maddie Buettners cross-court tip fell in
and was followed by an ace by Maddie
Pohlman. The Jays extended the lead as
New Bremen had three straight returns
land out of bounds but back came the
Cardinals as an ace by Elizabeth Balster
evened the score and New Bremen
took the lead with a Stephanie Brandt
kill. The Jays Maya Gerkers assist to
Jessica Geise for the slam deadlocked
the contest at seven. The Cardinals then
outscored the home team 10-4 to take
St. Johns sophomore goes to her knees to dig up a New Bremen kill
attempt in MAC volleyball action Tuesday night at Arnzen Gymnasium.

the lead and went on to win the set by
eight points.
The Jays played to their full potential to begin the second set as Pohlman
nailed a kill, Hulihan and Geise each
had superb digs to keep the volley alive

for another kill by Pohlman and Geise
scorched an ace.

Lady Jays slip by Ottoville in girls soccer

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
[email protected]
OTTOVILLE Rainy
weather reared its ugly head
again Tuesday evening, forcing
an hour wait before St. Johns
and Ottoville hooked up in
girls non-league soccer action
under the lights of a soggy
Ottoville Soccer Stadium.
The Lady Blue Jays
proved to be rude guests,
spoiling Senior Parents Night
for six Lady Big Green players as sophomore Carleigh
Ankerman tallied the only
goal with 35:06 remaining
for a 1-0 victory.
Captains Courtney Von
Sossan, Haley Landwehr and
Alexis Wannemacher, as well
as Robyn Turnwald, Lyndsey
Wannemacher and Megan
Lambert, played their final
regular-season matches before
the Green and Gold Faithful.
It would have been nice
to win one for the seniors
here but it wasnt meant to
be. We couldnt find the back
of the net, Ottoville coach
Tim Kimmet noted. You had
two teams here with two wins
each coming in but this year,
records dont seem to count;

both are much better than the
records indicate. Our keeper
just had a tough time handling the ball on the wet pitch
and that cost us in the end.
St. Johns coach
Katrina Smith was
extremely pleased with
her units effort.
We played very well.
What I liked most was
we were in constant motion,
she added. We never got
stagnant; we just kept moving to the ball and doing good
things. I was concerned with
the weather delay because the
last time that happened to us,
we came out flat. The
girls were really loose
during the delay and we
came out ready to go.
We needed to against an
Ottoville team who is far
better than their record.
After a scoreless tie at the
half, the Lady Green (2-84) had the first chance to
score at 37:50 as junior Dana
Eickholt fired a 14-yarder
that required a diving stop by
Lady Blue Jay (3-9-2) senior
keeper Samantha Wehri (9
saves versus 9 shots on-goal).
The Jays had their first
chance at 36:13 when junior

Ashlyn Troyer had a 10-yarder that went over the crossbar.
Their next foray did the
trick. At 35:06, sophomore
Maria
Giambruno-Fuges
original 20-yarder from
just outside the left post
was stopped by keeper
Lyndsey Wannemacher
(7 saves vs. 9 shots ongoal) just inside the right
post; however, the slippery ball
escaped her grasp and before
she could get control, Ankerman
was right there for the 3-yard
putback and a 1-0 edge.
Wannemacher left the
match at 30:20 but returned
at 9:23.
The goalkeepers and
the back lines in front of
them did a solid job of
not giving many really
clear looks at the goal
the rest of the match.
The best openings for the
Jays were at 32:09, when
senior Liz Winhover nearly put back a ricochet but
Wannemacher was good
for the stop; at 22:00, when
Winhover was wide-open in
the mdidle for a 1-touch but
her 10-yarder was denied
by diving freshman keeper
Brittany Winhover; and at

2:25, when senior Emilee
Grothouses 14-yarder from
the right wing nearly escaped
Wannemachers grasp.
The Lady Green had their
own chances to knot the score.
At 25:02, Eickholt, near
the touch line on the right side,
crossed the ball but it nearly
ricocheted off a defender, hitting the right post; at 22:40,
when Landwehrs 12-yard
shot from the right wing was
denied by Wehri; at 14:49,
when Alexis Wannemachers
15-yarder was stopped; and
at 12:48, when Landwehr was
stymied on her 15-yarder.
Ottoville had a few more
chances in the first half than
the Blue and Gold but Wehri
was there for the goods.
Their closest effort was at
24:10 when Landwehr tried an
8-yard header but Wehri denied it.
The Jays best effort was
at 30:10 when Grothouse
launched a kick from 26
yards in the middle that hit
the right post.
Both teams return to the
pitch Thursday: Ottoville
at archrival Fort Jennings 5
p.m. and the Jays at Sidney
Lehman at 5:30.
Lady Knights slam Grove in

three sets for share of NWC title
BY JIM COX
DHI Media Correspodnent
[email protected]
COLUMBUS GROVE - The top

two volleyball teams in the Northwest
Conference met Tuesday night in the last
league match of the season. Everybody
was expecting a barnburner. They didnt
get one. Crestview totally dominated
all three sets for a 25-18, 25-13, 25-14
win over Columbus Grove. The
victory gave the Knights a share of
the NWC championship, as both
Crestview and Grove finish at 7-1.
The Knights are 19-2 overall, the
Lady Dawgs 16-4.
It was a case of Crestview playing arguably its best match of the year,
while Columbus Grove had an off night.
I really didnt (expect the lopsided win), said Knight coach Tammy
Gregory. Our goal coming in was to
come out on top and share the conference. I just think the girls were so
focused. I have to say that of any game
this year, this was the most energized
Ive ever seen our girls. They knew
what needed to be done, and they took
care of it.
Lady Lancers net win over

Bearcats
By JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
[email protected]
SPENCERVILLE After a disappointing effort in Mondays home loss
to New Knoxville, Lincolnview volleyball
coach JaNahn Evans may not have been
sure of what to expect from her Lady
Lancers as they traveled to Spencerville
for the final regular season match of
the year.
What she got was a thoroughly
dominant performance from her team
in a 25-18, 25-16, 25-9 rout of the Lady
Bearcats.
We just came off of a hard loss
(Monday) night, so it was nice that the
girls showed up tonight and wiped away
the errors, Evans said after the win
over Spencerville. That just shows the
emotional side of volleyball. (Monday)
night, they (New Knoxville) were able to
get in our heads, so tonight we focused
on staying ahead of the game and putting mistakes behind us; just keep going
strong.
The Lancers were a little sloppy early
in the match, which kept Spencerville
close in the opening set. Two hitting
errors and a miscommunication that
Too may errors on our side of

the court serving errors, passing
errors, said Grove coach Susan
Jones. Crestview is a really strong
team, so we knew we had to play well,
and I dont think we ever got going
and Crestview played very well. Last
night we played Kalida, and we came
out like a totally different team very
fired up, very motivated, attacking the
ball. Tonight we werent playing nearly
as aggressively as we can play.
As an indicator of the Knights
dominance, Grove had only one
lead the entire night, that coming at
1-0 in the third set. The breakaway
in the first set started with the score
7-6, Crestview. A kill by Knight
middle hitter Courtney Trigg made it 8-6
and put Tianna Rager on the service
line. Rager reeled off seven consecutive points one coming on
an ace, the other six on Columbus
Grove errors to make it 15-6.
The hosts never got closer than eight
after that. The Dawgs biggest run in that
set was three points, which occurred
only one time.
It was more of the same in set two.
Crestview led from the get-go, gradually
increasing the lead throughout. The final

12-point margin was the biggest of the
set. Groves biggest run in the set was
two points, and that happened only once.
Grove led 1-0 to start the third set,
but, much like the first set, a Trigg
blast gave the serve to the Knights, and
Claire Zaleski took over. Zaleski started
a 5-0 run with an ace, and four straight
Bulldog errors put the visitors up 6-1.
The closest the Bulldogs got after that
was 8-5, but a 5-0 Knight run made it
13-5 and left little doubt about the eventual outcome. Again, Columbus Grove
couldnt put a run together, its biggest
of the set being three points, which happened once.
Trigg and Megan Hartman led
the Knights in kills with 12 and 7.
Mackenzie Riggenbach and Brady
Guest were tops in assists with 11
and 10. Rager had nine assists.
Crestviews serving was excellent
with only two misses in the entire
match. Rager was 17 for 17 with
three aces, Zaleski 16 for 16 with two
aces, Hartman 12 for 12 with one ace.
Groves junior varsity is 20-0 after
topping Crestview 25-22, 25-12. The
Knight jayvees are 11-7.
Tuesday Roundup
allowed a ball to drop were among the

first four points of the set, resulting in a
3-1 Bearcat lead.
The Lady Lancers (9-12 overall, 5-3
Northwest Conference) came storming
back, however, collecting eight of the
next 11 points to open an 11-6 advantage
before a Spencerville timeout.
We were a little bit on our heels (to
start the game). I think we need a little
better warmup, Evans added. Once we
get things moving, we get in the groove
of things, and then they go.
A Katie McClure slam continued the first-set attack by the
Lancers, and Ashley Teman and
Ashton Bowersock added kills to
extend to a 16-8 lead.
The Bearcats (6-14, 3-5 NWC)
fought back with four straight points,
including back-to-back aces from Katie
Merriman, brought Spencerville to
within 17-12. Kills from McClure and
Bowersock highlighted another Lancer
spurt, and Katlyn Wendel ended the set
with a blast through the Bearcat block for
a 25-18 win.
The Lancers continued to roll in the
second set.
After the teams split the first eight
points, Baylee Neate served an ace that
spurred a 9-1 run that opened a 13-5
margin. Megan Millers spike ended the

run for the Bearcats, but Neates blast
and a bomb by Bowersock pushed the
lead back to seven at 19-12. Wendel
added a tip and McClure collected a pair
of kills before Teman ended the set with
a blast from the right side.
We ran a quick offense, Evans
continued. The defense did a good job
of picking balls up and passing low. Our
setters were able to run a quick offense
as well; it worked for us.
Senior Devann Springer got
the ball rolling for the Lancers
in the third, firing an ace before
a Bowersock kill made it 3-0.
Spencerville errors began piling
up, and the Bearcats fell behind
by an 8-1 score to open what would be
the final set.
When Neate took serve, she quickly
erased any hope of a Bearcat comeback. Neate reeled off four consecutive
aces en route to a 14-4 advantage for
the Lancers. McClure would later add
back-to-back aces and Lincolnview was
never pushed in the third set, winning by
a comfortable 16-point margin.
I thought we had a wonderful serving game; an aggressive serve game,
noted the Lancer coach. Focusing on
the serve was something that we knew
we wanted to work on tonight. The girls

focused behind the line, took their time,
and served aggressively.
These same two teams meet again
on Thursday, Oct. 16 when the Lady
Lancers host Spencerville in the opening
round of the OHSAA tournament. The
winner of that match has a date with
New Knoxville for the right to advance
to district play.
Lincolnview girls pound Rangers
NEW KNOXVILLE Threatening
weather cut Lincolnviews trip to New
Knoxville short on Tuesday evening but
the Lady Lancers had left no doubt about
the outcome of their non-conference
tilt with the Lady Rangers, collecting a
7-1 victory.
The match was called in the 63rd
minute of soccer.
Less than 10 minutes into the match,
Lancer senior Hannah McCleery struck
for the first goal of the game. Lincolnview
would add three more tallies before the
half, with McCleery adding another and
classmate Julia Thatcher finding the net
twice, herself.

Cardinals sink Kershaw

again, head to another NLCS
By R.B. FALLSTROM
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS Matt Adams and

the Cardinals are moving on. Clayton
Kershaw and the Dodgers are going
home.
Again.
St. Louis tagged Kershaw in the seventh inning for the second straight time,
riding Adams go-ahead, 3-run homer
to a 3-2 victory over Los Angeles on
Tuesday and a fourth consecutive trip to
the NL Championship Series.
I dont think I touched the ground
the whole way around the bases, Adams
said. Definitely the highlight of my
career. I will never, ever forget this.
Neither will Kershaw.
The season ended and I was a big
part of the reason why, Kershaw said.
I cant really put it into words, Just bad
deja vu all over again.
Following their 3-1 win in the bestof-5 series, the Cardinals await San
Francisco or Washington with their rotation well-rested for the NLCS, which
starts Saturday. They would open at home
against the Giants or at the Nationals.
Trevor Rosenthal allowed two runners
in the ninth before getting Carl Crawford
on a game-ending groundout for his third
save of the series. At AT&T Park in San
Francisco, fans cheered when the rival
Dodgers were eliminated.
It was awesome, everything we did
throughout that game, starter Shelby
Miller said. It was a heck of a game and
a lot of fun, I know that.
An overwhelming favorite to win his
third NL Cy Young Award in four years,
Kershaws October resume is a wreck.

Kershaw dropped to 1-5 with a 5.12
ERA in 11 postseason games, including three relief appearances early in his
career. He has lost four straight starts to
St. Louis over the past two postseasons.
Ive had success against them, too,
Kershaw said. It just seems like one
inning gets me every time. And obviously thats not success.
While the steady Cardinals advanced
to their ninth NLCS in 15 years, the
defeat was a huge disappointment for the NL West champion
Dodgers, who finished the regular
season with a $256 million payroll that was $40 million higher
than any other team.
Los Angeles remains without a pennant since winning the 1988 World
Series.
Manager Don Mattingly wasnt about
to second-guess leaving Kershaw in the
game, especially with a bullpen thats
foundered. He wanted the lefty to get
three more outs.
It goes back to the same question: Is
there anybody better, even on short rest,
and even where he was at that point?
Mattingly asked.
Kershaw started on three days rest for
the second time in his postseason career.
He was dominant into the seventh, as
he was in Game 1, but again started the
inning with three straight hits.
The third hit Tuesday came when
Adams drove a curveball on Kershaws
102nd pitch into the right-center bullpen
to put St. Louis up 3-2. Adams thrust his
hands over his head in the batters box
then jumped several times as he ran down
Bulldogs seal PCL volleyball win over LadyCats

By LARRY HEIING

CCOLUMBUS GROVE The
Kalida LadyCat volleyball team traveled to Columbus Grove Monday night
for what appeared to be a showdown of
two teams near the top of the standings
in the Putnam County League.
In the end, it was the Bulldogs that
came out as top dog with a 3-set
sweep of the Wildcats: 25-8,
25-21, 25-13; in front of The
Dog Pound crowd.
We came out ready to play
tonight said Columbus Grove
coach Susan Jones. That was our strongest start of the year even though we let
up a bit in the second set. I thought we
regrouped well and finished strong.
Kristin Wynn sparked the Bulldog
(16-3, 6-1 PCL) offense with a perfect
16-of-16 hitting with eight kills, adding
seven blocks. Sydney McCluer was 100
percent on her dozen serves with four
of them for aces (4 kills, 11 digs). Hope
Schroeder (6 kills, 8 digs) and Briana
Glass (4 aces, 16 assists) also keyed the
sweep by the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs attacked early jumping out to a 8-0 lead as Glass had consecutive aces. Kalida finally got on the
board with an assist by Nicole Recker
to Alexis Vorst for the kill. Columbus
Grove continued to roll with a kill and
a block by Wynn en route to a 7-0 run.
The Bulldogs put the set away as Rachel
Kohls landed back-to-back aces and
Carlee McCluer sealed it with a slam.
Madison Vorhees (4 kills, 5 blocks)
powered the Bulldogs to a 9-5 lead
to begin the second set with a block
and a kill. Kalida battled back a
tied the score on two kills by
Caitlin Stechschulte and another from Kennedy Hoffman.
The Bulldogs took the lead back
before Kalida made another charge
and got its first lead of the contest as
Kylie Osterhage served up a pair of
aces. With the score tied at 17, the two
teams traded kills by Morgan Niese of
Kalida and Wynn for the Bulldogs. Jade
Clement (10 assists) was perfect on her
next five serves as the Bulldogs went
on another rally to come away with the
4-point victory.
Kalida started the third set with
the lead as Osterhage scored a block
and Niese recorded the kill. Columbus

Groves Schroeder nailed the slam to
even the set again at six before the
Bulldogs began to pull away with balanced teamwork. The Bulldogs offense
quickly extended the lead to double
digits with kills by Sydney McCluer,
Wynn and Schroeder. Grove also got
aces from Glass, Sydney McCluer and
Carlee McCluer during the scoring
spree. Kalidas Vorst and Carlee Miller
continued to fight as their kills cut
the Bulldog lead back to single digits.
Columbus Grove wrapped up the set
and match with one final run as
Vorhees got the kill with an assist
by Glass, a block by the wall of
McCluer/Vorhees, and an assist by
Sydney McCluer to Vorhess to the
final point.
Kalidas Vorst and Miller each
recorded eight kills and Niese was right
behind with six. Osterhage had a pair of
aces for the LadyCats.
In junior varsity action, Kalida took
the first set 25-20 before Columbus
Grove won the final two: 25-18 and
25-20.
Kalida hosts Jefferson 6 p.m.

the first base line. A stunned Kershaw

bent over on the mound, head hung and
hands on his knees.
Kershaw allowed one homer to lefthanded hitters while going 21-3 with
a 1.77 ERA in the regular season. He
gave up two to the Cardinals, with Matt
Carpenter connecting in the opener. The
left-handed ace is 0-3 with a 9.72 ERA
in his last three postseason appearances,
including St. Louis clinching Game 6
victory in the NLCS last year.
Reliever Marco Gonzales
earned his second victory
of the series, after getting
treated for a nosebleed.
The rookie lefty got Adrian
Gonzalez on a groundout to
end the seventh and strand two runners.
Pat Neshek worked a perfect eighth for
the second straight game and Rosenthal
pitched the ninth for a second straight
day, receiving two visits to the mound
from catcher Yadier Molina and one from
the pitching coach after a shaky start to
the inning.
Kershaw had yielded only one hit
through six innings and struck out nine,
including three in a row in the sixth.
But Matt Holliday opened the seventh
with a sharp single up the middle off
second baseman Dee Gordons glove
and Jhonny Peralta lined another single
before Adams homered off a left-hander
for the first time since July 7.
The Cardinals had an NL-low 105
homers this season and left-hander
batters had only eight homers against
lefty pitching. But lefties hit five off
Dodgers southpaws in four playoff
games.

Conduct policy, Bills vote on NFL owners agenda

Associated Press
NEW YORK NFL owners will meet today to discuss
the leagues personal conduct policy, vote on the sale of the
Buffalo Bills and look at further international play.
These are critical meetings for the owners, with
Commissioner Roger Goodell under fire for his handling of
the Ray Rice case and with several high-profile player
arrests involving domestic abuse. Although the owners
have supported Goodell remaining in the job, they also
have been embarrassed by loud criticism of the leagues
recent missteps.
We need to limit this, Texans owner Robert
McNair said of misbehavior by players, so punishment
is not an issue.
The discussion of social responsibility and the personal
conduct policy initiatives will overshadow approval of the
purchase of the Bills by Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim
Pegula. That transaction is considered certain, with threequarters of the teams needing to vote in favor of the Pegulas.
Owners will be updated on the Los Angeles stadium situation;
TV ratings, attendance and fan interest. They also will receive
reports on the leagues games in London three this year for the
first time, with two still to come. The NFL has an eye on adding
more London games, perhaps as soon as next season.
But the spotlight will be on steps the NFL is taking to educate everyone in the league on domestic violence and sexual
assault and abuse. The owners will view a short video, then
will see about a 40-minute presentation by the leagues player
engagement department about educating everyone in the NFL
on the subjects.
Heading into todays meetings, Goodell sent a memo to the
owners in which he explained why the personal conduct policy
needs revamping.
For the past seven years, the personal conduct policy has
brought credit to the league and to NFL players, he wrote.
But during that time, we did not sufficiently review the policy
to keep it current and ensure that it properly reflected our values and those of our society. Our process for handling allegations of misconduct was not as well-established as it needed
to be. We relied almost exclusively on law enforcement and
the courts to investigate offenses and determine guilt. We did
not set and adhere consistently enough to our own standards
and we allowed our disciplinary responses to fall below where
they needed to be. Nowhere was this clearer than in the context of domestic violence and sexual assault.
These are the first league meetings since Goodell admitted
Roundup
(Continued from page 6)
Lancer keeper Maddie Gorman posted three firsthalf saves, with Samantha Bigham and Claire Clay
spearheading a strong defensive effort in front of the
goal. In the second half, Lancer coach Mark McCleery
made some position changes, replacing Gorman with
Brooke Schroeder.
The only Ranger score of the night came at 18:36
on a penalty kick. Schroeder finished with three saves.
Thatcher completed her hat trick in the second half
and Gorman found the net on a header off a pass from
Bigham. Lincolnviews third senior, Clay, capped the
scoring with a goal just before the match was called.
Lincolnview improves to 7-7-1 on the year and will
close its regular season play with a Thursday night trip
to Spartan Stadium to battle Lima Central Catholic at
7:30 p.m.

off that charge as Brackman

assist along with an ace by
Jones. Pohlman rallied the
Jays with a pair of kills, a
block and an ace as the home
team trailed 19-16. But it was
too much Brackman as she
dished out four more sets as
the Cardinals won by four.
Stats for the seniors final
home match include: Fischer
(3 kills, 4 blocks), Kramer (3
assists), Hulihan(17 digs) and
Schulte (17 assists). Other top
hitters for the Jays: Pohlman

Kahny (4 kills, 3 blocks),
Buettner (5 kills, 6 blocks),
Geise (5 kills, 6 blocks) and
Gerker with 13 assists.
OHSAA
In junior varsity action,

the Blue Jays swept New
Bremen 25-14, 25-21.
With the win, New Bremen
evens its MAC record to 4-4
and 9-9 overall.
The Jays record falls to
7-12 on the season and 0-8 in
the MAC.
Tonight was just another
example of how our no-win
record in the league doesnt
show how competitive we
played against tough competition. We will miss the four
graduating seniors but the
future for the St. Johns volleyball program looks bright,
St. Johns coach Carolyn
Dammeyer observed.

Jettinghoff landed a kill
with the assist by Fischer.
The Jays finally caught the
Cardinals with great defense
as a pumped Fischer extended over the net for a pair of
blocks and Buettner chipped
in with another. St. Johns
completed the comeback
with an assist by Ellis to
Olivia Kahny for the perfectly-placed tip and the seniors
survived for another set.
All fined-tuned machines
have an engine that keeps

That engine for New Bremen
is Makenna Brackman as
she had 45 assists on the
night. Her sets to Devon
Heitkamps and Logan Wells
opened up a 3-0 advantage
by the Cardinals to begin
the fourth set. The Blue
Birds caught the visitors
with a Kahny kill and an
ace by Kennedy Clarkson
and took the lead on a spike
by Geise. Three straight
unforced errors by the Jays
and consecutive blocks by
Heitkamp were part of a 6-0
run by the Cardinals. St.
Johns rallied to pull within

kill and Geise scored on a
Fischer played her best

set of the year, leaving it
all on the court with diving plays to spark her Blue
Jay teammates and tied the
score at 12 with a crosscourt tip on a pass from
Schulte. The Cardinals went
on a 5-0 run before a kill
by Fischer ended the streak.
Trailing 23-16, Schulte
sparked a mild comeback
with assists to Buettner and
Ally Gerberick for scores.
The Jays got as close as five
before the Red Birds finished off the set with kills by
Brandt and Paige Jones.
Facing the possibility of
their final home set of the
season, the Jays huddled up
stone-faced before the start of
set three. With focused determination, the Jays battled
the Cardinals to a footballlike score of seven all as
Geise notched an ace and
Madison Ellis landed a kill.
New Bremen jumped out to
a 3-point lead before the Jays
rallied to knot the set again

he was wrong in giving Rice a 2-game suspension for punching his then-fiancee in an elevator. Following a torrent of criticism, Goodell announced stiffer penalties for future domestic
violence cases. After video of the punch was released, the
Baltimore Ravens cut Rice and Goodell suspended him indefinitely. Rice has since appealed the suspension.
Other abuse cases involving Vikings star running back
Adrian Peterson, Cardinals running back Jonathan
Dwyer and Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy also
have been made public. All three are on an exempt list,
suspended but still being paid.

as she did so. The ball bounced past her and towards the far
post where Kalidas Brittany Kahle stood with two Pirate
defenders. Kahle was able to get a foot on the ball and knock
it into the goal giving the Lady Cats a 3-2 lead.
Gardner nearly gave Kalida a two goal lead with 6:30 left as
her shot from the left side was knocked away, with one hand,
by a diving Mansfield. Gardner finished the scoring a little
later as she headed home a corner kick from Makenna Richey.
We knew Scott was their go to girl and we had to keep
an eye on her. If we keep her off the board we could win this
game. What happens, she scores both goals, Kehres said.
Still we are able to come out on top. That shows a lot of hard
work by these girls. Im proud these seniors as they get to go
out with a PCL title.
Kalida dominated play the first half as the majority of the
time was spent on their offensive side of the field. However,
they could only manage one goal as Richey, who also had two
assists on the day, took a shot from 15 yards out that Pirate
keeper Emma Recker was able to get her hands on. But with
the rain just ending, she was unable to firmly secure the ball
and bounced off her hands and into the goal with 25:04 left.
For the contest, Kalida outshot Continental 25-5 as Knapke
had three saves in goal for the Lady Cats. Recker had seven
saves for the Pirates and Mansfield had six saves.

Wal-Mart cuts health benefits for some part-timers

NEW YORK (AP)
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans
to eliminate health insurance coverage for some of
its part-time U.S. employees
in a move aimed at controlling rising health care costs
of the nations largest private
employer.
Wal-Mart
told
The
Associated Press that starting
Jan. 1, it will no longer offer
health insurance to employees who work less than an
average of 30 hours a week.
The move affects 30,000
employees, or about 5 percent of Wal-Marts total parttime workforce, but comes
after the company already
had scaled back the number of part-time workers who
were eligible for health insurance coverage since 2011.
The announcement follows similar decisions by
Target, Home Depot and others to completely eliminate
DEAR BRUCE:
I am starting a small BRUCE WILLIAMS
business, and one of
the buildings I am
looking at has a tax
lien against it from
the previous owner.
How will that affect
a potential small-business loan? Will a bank
allow me to use part
of the loan to pay off the tax lien, or does that have to be paid
out-of-pocket? -- J.H.
DEAR J.H.: If the bank will allow you to borrow money
to retire the lien, that would be the simplest way to handle the
matter. Failing that, dont buy the building unless the lien is
satisfied by the previous owner at the same time the sale is
consummated. The last thing you need is to have your life
complicated with a lien of this kind. It should be very simple
to settle.
DEAR BRUCE: Im contemplating getting a reverse mortgage. Im 65 and my wife is 71. What is your opinion on this
type of mortgage, pro and con? -- S.C.
DEAR S.C.: I have no problem with reverse mortgages
as such. In proper circumstances, they allow access to monies
that would otherwise be sitting dormant. If you have determined that you arent worried about heirs, a reverse mortgage
has to be recommended.
That having been advised, the problem is that you are 65.
Reverse mortgages are available for people as young as 62,
that is true, but for a very small percentage. If this is the only
avenue available to you, go for it. But recognize that you will
be allowed to borrow a whole lot less because of your relative
youth than you would if you were older.
DEAR BRUCE: I am 70 years old and I have an annuity
that has matured. If I redeem it, the capital gains would be a
little over $40,000. The guaranteed value (excluding death
benefit) is $72,000, which is the original investment amount.
If I withdraw from it, I reduce the value of the guaranteed
amount.
I would like to roll this over into another annuity so I can
guarantee the full amount and not have to pay capital gains
taxes. At present, I dont need the money, but would like to
have it available should I need to withdraw monthly amounts.
I have talked to several advisers who seem to be more selfserving than helpful. -- Edward
DEAR EDWARD: You are very fortunate that you have
an annuity that has matured and is ready to be redeemed.
The problem is, I cannot tell you which way to go without
a lot more specific information, nor could anyone else. It all
depends not only on this circumstance in your life, but also on
other factors.
There are many good and successful advisers whom you
can approach and depend on to help you with this. Its going to
cost you, as well it should. If you go cheap, the chances are you
are going to get lousy advice, and in the end it will cost you
more money and certainly a lot of aggravation.
DEAR BRUCE: Please share the names of safe mutual
funds I can invest in without the services of a broker. -- Jimmie
DEAR JIMMIE: It is not my policy to provide specific
names of companies, but there are dozens and dozens of noload mutual funds that would serve your purpose adequately.
You will have to do a little bit of looking up, and that doesnt
require a great deal of intellect or experience.
It certainly is worth the effort to do this research because
there are many no-load companies that are better than the load
companies. Accept this as a challenge. The information is out
there.
DEAR BRUCE: Do you have to be a certain age to check
on your credit report? My daughter is 19 years old and already
has some debt. She asked me if she has to be 21 to check. -Brenda
DEAR BRENDA: You dont have to be 21 years old to
check your credit report. You can check at any age, assuming
there is information to be checked.
There are many services that will give you your credit
report without cost, and you are allowed one free report from
each of the major reporting agencies each year. A quick search
on the Internet will tell you how to get this information.
health insurance benefits for

part-time employees. It also
comes a day after Wal-Mart
said it is teaming up with an
online health insurance agency called DirectHealth.com
to help customers shop for
health insurance plans.
We had to make some
tough decisions, Sally
Welborn, Wal-Marts senior
vice president of benefits,
told The Associated Press.
Welborn said she didnt
know how much Wal-Mart
will save by dropping parttime employees, but added
that the company will use
a third-party organization to
help part-time workers find
insurance alternatives: We
are trying to balance the
needs of (workers) as well as
the costs of (workers) as well
as the cost to Wal-Mart.
The announcement comes
after Wal-Mart said far more
U.S. employees and their
families are enrolling in its

health care plans than it had
expected following rollout
of the Affordable Care Act,
which requires big companies
to offer coverage to employees working 30 hours or more
a week or face a penalty. It
also requires most Americans
to have health insurance or
pay a penalty.
Wal-Mart, which employs
about 1.4 million full- and
part-time U.S. workers, says
about 1.2 million Wal-Mart
workers and family members
combined now participate in
its health care plan. And that
has had an impact on WalMarts bottom line. Wal-Mart
now expects the impact of
higher health care costs to
be about $500 million for the
current fiscal year, or about
$170 million higher than the
original estimate of about
$330 million that it gave in
February.

But Wal-Mart is among

the last of its peers to cut
health insurance for some
part-time workers. In 2013,
62 percent of large retail
chains didnt offer health
care benefits to any of its
part-time workers, according
to Mercer, a global consulting company. Thats up from
56 percent in 2009.
Retailers who offer parttime benefits are more of
an exception than the rule,
says Beth Umland, director
of research for health and
benefits at Mercer.
Wal-Mart has been scaling back eligibility for parttime workers over the past
few years, though. In 2011,
Wal-Mart said it was cutting
backing eligibility of its coverage of part-time workers
working less than 24 hours
a week. And then in 2013, it
announced a threshold of 30
hours or under.

DEAR ABBY: When I was

10, I faked an injury so I could
quit playing soccer. I couldnt
articulate why the coach, who
was clean-cut, friendly and
fair, made me uneasy. After
he died a few years ago, it
came out that he had molested
dozens of girls.
Over the subsequent 20
years, those same instincts
have screamed at me three
more times -- and twice I was
proven correct. The third man
to set off this alarm is in my
social circle, along with his
wife. Several of the couples
in our group are starting
families.
I feel like Im in a terrible
position. Should I say
something and risk destroying
an innocent mans reputation
and the group dynamic, or
remain silent and risk the kids
being around a predator? I
dont have a shred of evidence,
just a gut-punch feeling.
I never said anything about
the prior abusers, but I dont
sleep well wondering if I
should have -- even if it was
based solely on a sixth sense.
What should I do? -- NOSE
LIKE A BLOODHOUND
DEAR NOSE: Child
molesters belong to every
race, both sexes, and come
in various age ranges. The
problem with criminals of
every sort -- child abusers and
con men included -- is they
DEAR DOCTOR K: I have weak

ankles, and as a result, I have frequent
ankle sprains. Can you suggest some
ankle-strengthening exercises?
DEAR READER: Our ankles are
workhorses and take a lot of abuse.
They must bear the full weight of our
bodies, yet stay nimble and flexible
through every step and jump. Its
amazing they work as well as they do.
As is true with every weightbearing joint in our bodies, the
muscles that affect the movement of
the joint are the joints best friends.
I learned this the hard way. I badly
injured my right quadriceps muscle
playing basketball when I was in my
20s. The quadriceps is in the front of
the upper leg and protects the hip.
Despite my exercising, that muscle
never regained normal strength. As a
result, 30 years later I needed a right
hip joint replacement. My left hip was
perfectly fine.
Weak muscles supporting the ankle
make you more vulnerable to injuries
such as sprains. They also make
you more likely to fall, and to suffer
injuries from the fall. Ankle sprains
stretch or even tear the ligaments that
keep ankle bones and joints properly
positioned. And in a vicious cycle, lax
ligaments set the stage for additional
sprains.
670 Miscellaneous
Quality
Fabrication & Welding Inc.
A
combination of strengthening and
stretching ankle exercises can help
increase much-needed flexibility in
your ankles. They can help build up
supporting muscles that keep you
balanced whether youre standing
still, walking over changing terrain or
dancing.
Here are two ankle-strengthening
exercises and one ankle stretch. Ive
put photos of these exercises on my
website, AskDoctorK.com.
-- SINGLE LEG STANCE
(strengthening): Stand up straight
with your feet hip-width apart. Lift
your right foot a few inches off the
floor, bending your knee slightly, and
balancing on your left leg. Hold for 60
seconds, then lower your foot to the
starting position. Repeat with your
left leg. This completes one set. Do
one to three sets, resting for 30 to 90
seconds between sets.

Im sorry youre having
sleep problems, but the
solution to them is NOT to
accuse someone about whom
you have no proof. To falsely
accuse him could destroy
both of you, and I dont
recommend it.
DEAR
ABBY:
Im
struggling in my marriage.
I have asked my husband to
treat me as an equal, but it
falls on deaf ears. I work parttime, attend school full-time
and care for our two children,
basically on my own. I pay
for almost everything. If Im
broke, hell pay one of the
smaller bills.
He refuses to help with any
of the housework, and he has
the freedom to go when and
where he pleases. Im only
allowed to go to school or
work; otherwise I must take
the kids with me. Hes very
controlling and, in the past,
when I have threatened to
leave, he said he would kill
himself. He is verbally and
emotionally abusive.
I no longer love him and
want a divorce, but Im scared
of what hell do if I ask for
one. I dont know what he
is capable of. The stress
has taken a toll on me. Im
depressed, angry and bitter.
I wish the kids and I could
simply disappear, but thats
not an option, nor healthy.

Is there an easy way to ask

for a divorce, or somewhere I
could turn for help? Is there
financial help where someone
could help pay for a divorce?
-- WANTS TO DISAPPEAR
DEAR
WANTS
TO
DISAPPEAR: There is no
easy way to ask a spouse for a
divorce, particularly one who
is controlling and verbally
abusive. If you are worried
about him killing himself,
please dont. From your
description, he is too selfish
and self-centered ever to do
that.
Because I know of no
individuals or organizations
that pay for peoples divorces,
talk to your family and see
if one or more of your close
relatives is willing to help.
However, if you are afraid
that your husband might harm
you, contact the National
Domestic Violence Hotline.
The phone number is 800799-7233. Its counselors can
help you form an exit strategy.

apart and your hands at your sides.
Slowly lift up on your toes so that
your heels rise off the floor as high as
possible. Pause, then slowly return to
the starting position. Do one to three
sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 to 90
seconds between sets.
-- SEATED POINT AND FLEX
(stretching): Sit up straight in a chair
with both feet on the floor. Lift your
right foot a few inches off the floor.
Slowly flex your ankle so your toes
point up toward the ceiling. Hold
10 to 30 seconds. Then slowly point
your toes toward the floor. Hold 10 to
30 seconds. Finish 3 to 4 reps, then
repeat the stretch with your left foot.
This completes the set.
As we have grown heavier in the
United States over the past 40 years,
our ankles have been subjected to even
more challenges. If youve ever had
an ankle injury, or if you sometimes
feel unsteady on your ankles, consider
regular exercise, in addition to the
exercises above, to help you achieve
and maintain a healthy weight.

each figure would be
about 460 feet high.

faces over a 14-year

Q: After visiting

Rushmore? -- B.K.,
Scranton, Pa.
A: Mount Rushmore
is named after Charles
E. Rushmore, a New
York City attorney who
was sent to the area in
1884 to check legal
titles on properties for
mining purposes. The
story goes that he asked
his guide the name
of this mountain. Bill
Challis, who was also
a local resident, said it
never had a name, but
from then on theyd call
it Mount Rushmore.
When I visited
the monument a few
years ago, I asked
several Sioux if it had
a name prior to Mount
Rushmore. I was told it
was called Six Fathers
before being named
Mount Rushmore, a
story confirmed by
several others.

Americans living longer as most death rates fall

NEW YORK (AP) Americans are
living longer than ever before, according
to a new government report filled mostly
with good news. U.S. life expectancy
inched up again and death rates fell.
Rates also fell or held steady for nearly all the leading causes of death. The
one exception: The suicide rate reached
its highest point in 25 years. That figure
has been increasing since 2000 and its
really hard to say why, said Robert
Anderson, who oversees the Centers for
Disease Prevention and Control branch
that issued the report Wednesday.
The yearly report looked at deaths in
2012. It found:
U.S. life expectancy for a child
born in 2012 was 78 years and 9 months,
Salt
up about six weeks from life expectancy

in 2010 and 2011. Thats a record.
For someone 65, the CDC estimates that men have about 18 years of
life left and women about 20 years. The
gaps between men and women grew
slightly, compared to 2011.
There were 2.5 million deaths in
2012, or about 28,000 more than the
year before. The increase was expected,
reflecting the nations growing and aging
population, Anderson said.
The infant mortality rate dropped
again slightly, to a new low of 5.98 per
1,000 births. Thats a historic low, but
the U.S. infant mortality rate continues
to be higher than in most European
countries.
Village Clerk Dawn Bailey said income taxes came in a

little higher than anticipated for the last quarter and appropriations need to be made for the funds.
Council members suspended the rules and approved on the
first reading an ordinance to increase the appropriations in the
Income Tax Fund and a resolution to transfer appropriations in
Street, Water and Sewer funds. Council also approved paying
the villages bills in the sum of $19,840.
Mayor P.J. Johnson informed council Bailey will attend a
mandatory State Auditors Training in Columbus on Oct. 27 at
the cost of $65.
Johnson spoke to council about the upcoming health insurance renewal for village employees in January 2015 and 2016.
He said he has fielded many questions about the Affordable
Care Act and what it means for village employees.
The village is not obligated to sign up for the Affordable
Care Act until 2017 and taking our group size into consideration, if we were to sign up for that insurance now, we would
pay 59 percent more, Johnson added. The rules for the insurance are changing by the hour.
Chapman reported the water treatment plant (WTP) was
brought online and the plant is now distributing softened water
to the village.
One of the warnings weve received from the equipment
supplier regarding softening plants going online within a
community is residents begin calling because their washing
machines are overflowing with suds since the water is now soft
and requires less detergent, Chapman explained.
He said residents with softeners should consider putting
their softener in bypass mode and see if they are happy with
the water being delivered to their home. If so, they can leave it
in bypass mode or completely remove the softener.
Chapman said during a recent inspection at the plant, the
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency found the village did
not have appropriate containment for the chemical feed room.
This issue is being addressed with Kirk Bros. and will be corrected at their expense.
Buckeye Pumps has completed the work on high-service
pump 3 and well 2 and each are now connected to the generator rather than the auxiliary gasoline engines, Chapman said.
Buschur Electric has completed the relocation of the variable
frequency drive (VFD) for high-service pump 3 and reconnected and powered up the modifications made by Buckeye
Pumps.
The next village council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on
Oct. 20 at the municipal building.
Death rates for blacks and whites

dropped but held steady for Hispanics.
However, Hispanic death rates remain
lower than the black and white numbers.
The 10 leading causes of death
remained the same, with heart disease
and cancer topping the list. Suicide is
the 10th.
The suicide rate rose more than 2
percent, to 12.6 per suicide deaths per
100,000 American. Thats the highest its
been since 1987, when the rate was 12.8.
Some research suggests suicides
increase during hard economic times,
but this trend has persisted before, during, and after the recession of 20072009. Some experts have said the sale

DEA sued over its fake Facebook account
WASHINGTON (AP) The Drug

Enforcement Administration set up a
fake Facebook account using photographs and other personal information
it took from the cellphone of a New
York woman arrested in a cocaine case
in hopes of tricking her friends and
associates into revealing incriminating
drug secrets.
The Justice Department initially
defended the practice in court filings
but now says it is reviewing whether the
Facebook guise went too far.
Sondra Arquietts Facebook account
looked as real as any other. It included
photos of her posing on the hood of
a sleek BMW and a close-up with
her young son and niece. She even
appeared to write that she missed her
boyfriend, who was identified by his
nickname.
But it wasnt her. The account
was the work of DEA Agent Timothy
Sinnigen, Arquiett said in a federal
court lawsuit. The case is scheduled for
trial next week in Albany, New York,
court records show.
Justice Department spokesman Brian
Fallon said in a statement Tuesday that
officials were reviewing both the incident and the practice, although in court
papers filed earlier in the case the government defended it. Fallon declined to
comment further because the case was
pending.
Details of the case were first reported by the online news site BuzzFeed
News.
The case illustrates how legal standards of privacy are struggling to keep
pace with constantly evolving technologies. And it shows how the same social
media platforms that can serve as valuable resources in criminal investigations
also can raise sensitive privacy implications that are at times difficult for law
enforcement and the courts to navigate.

How do you fit a new technology under your old rules? How do
we think about a phone? How do we
think about a Facebook account? said
Neil Richards, a privacy expert at the
Washington University School of Law
in St. Louis.
Arquiett, who is now asking for
$250,000, was arrested in July 2010
on charges of possession with intent to
distribute cocaine. She was accused of
being part of a drug distribution ring run
by her boyfriend, who had been previously indicted. She could have faced up
to life in prison.
Court records show that in February
2011, Arquiett pleaded guilty to a charge
of conspiracy to possess with intent to
distribute and to distribute cocaine base.
She was sentenced in January 2012 to
time served and given a period of home
confinement.
In the plea agreement Arquiett, who
also was identified by the last names
Prince and Arquiette, acknowledged
that from 2008 to 2010 she was part
of a drug conspiracy in Watertown,
New York. The records also show she
participated in jailhouse telephone calls
with co-conspirators and at times made
three-way telephone calls connecting
jailed co-conspirators with others.
The court records do not show whether Arquiett agreed to testify against any
other members of the conspiracy.
In a court filing in August, the
Justice Department contended that
while Arquiett didnt directly authorize
Sinnigen to create the fake account,
she implicitly consented by granting
access to the information stored in her
cellphone and by consenting to the use
of that information to aid in ongoing
criminal investigations.
The government also argued that
The dangers of talking to your car

WASHINGTON (AP)
Just because you can talk to
your car doesnt mean you
should. Two new studies have
found that voice-activated
smartphones and dashboard
infotainment systems may be
making the distracted-driving
problem worse instead of better.
The systems let drivers do
things like tune the radio, send a
text message, or make a phone
call while keeping their eyes on
the road and their hands on the
wheel, but many of these systems are so error-prone or complex that they require more concentration from drivers rather
than less, according to studies
released Tuesday by the AAA
Foundation for Traffic Safety
and the University of Utah.
One study examined infotainment systems in some
of the most common auto
brands on the road: Chevrolet,
Chrysler, Ford, Hyundai and
Mercedes. The second study
tested the Apple iPhones
Siri voice system to navigate,
send texts, make Facebook
and Twitter posts, and use the
calendar without handling or
looking at the phone. Apple
and Google are working with
automakers to mesh smartphones with infotainment
Stamps
systems so that drivers can

bring their apps, navigation
and music files into their cars.
The voice-activated systems
were graded on a distraction
scale of 1 to 5, with 1 representing no distraction and 5
comparable to doing complex
math problems and word memorization.
The systems were tested
by 162 university students and
other volunteers in three settings: a laboratory, a driving
simulator and in cars while
driving through a Salt Lake
City neighborhood.
Apples Siri received the
worst rating, 4.14. Twice test
drivers using Siri in a driving
simulator rear-ended another
car.
Chevrolets
MyLink
received the worst rating, 3.7,
among the infotainment systems. Infotainment systems
from three other automakers
Mercedes, Ford and Chrysler
also were rated more distracting for drivers than simply talking on a handheld cellphone. Most of the cars were
2013 model year vehicles.
What we continue to see
from customers is that they
demand this level of technology in their vehicles, that access
to music and access to calls is

Kids can try sketching some of the
stamps theyve collected or seen in photos. And Dembowski suggests decorating an envelope related to a given stamp,
and then mailing the creation to friends
or relatives.
4. Screen time is minimal, and
optional.
Some kids do hunt for stamps online,
and there are collecting apps for Android
and Apple devices. But hours spent sifting through a collection of paper stamps
connects kids to the physical world.
International collecting is exciting, says
Moody, because theyre holding something from another part of the world in
their hands.
Children also can attend stamp
the last decade have been a contributing

factor.
Whatever the reason, its kind of
surprising, said Solveig Cunningham,
an Emory University researcher who has
studied death rates during eras of financial hardship.
The overall statistics suggest our society is getting better at medically managing conditions like diabetes and heart
disease, she said. But maybe were not
able to manage mental health as well,
resulting in devastating results the
increasing suicide rate, she said.
The CDC report compiles information from all U.S. death certificates from
2012. Researchers use the death rates to
project how long people will live.
now a critical part of the driving experience and so were

looking at innovative ways to
provide that, said Chevrolet
spokeswoman Annalisa Bluhm.
Apple noted in a statement
that researchers didnt use the
companys CarPlay or Siri Eyes
Free, which are designed for
use in cars. However, David
Strayer, the University of Utah
psychology professor who led
the two studies, said researchers consulted with Apple before
beginning the study. The study
used an iOS 7 version of Siri
that was tweaked to be nearly identical to the iOS 8 version, which was just recently
released, he said.
The systems with the worst
ratings were those that made
errors even though drivers
voice commands were clear and
distinct, said Strayer. Drivers
had to concentrate on exactly
what words they wanted to use
and in what order to get the
systems to follow their commands, creating a great deal of
frustration.
For example, an infotainment system might recognize
a command to change a radio
station to 103.5 FM, but not
FM 103.5 or simply 103.5,
he said.
Siri sometimes garbled text
shows with their families (the American

Philatelic Society website lists dozens
around the country each month), and
ask neighbors and local businesses for
any stamped envelopes they receive and
dont need.
5. A stamp collection can be personalized.
This hobby has no rules,
Dembowski says. You can collect
whatever you want. So you can focus
in on one specific topic, like horses or
another subject that a child loves.
Even though ground mail has
decreased, the number of stamp options
has not, Moody says. The U.S. Postal
Service regularly issues new stamps
depicting everything from flowers and
snowflakes to pop singers, athletes and
actors.
messages or selected wrong

phone numbers from personal phonebooks, Strayer said.
During one test, Siri called 911
instead of the phone number
requested by the volunteer
driver and the driver had to
scramble to end the call before
it went through. Siri found the
number in the drivers phonebook because the driver had
called it once before.
When these systems
become more complex, like
sending text messages or posting to Facebook, it pushes the
workloads to pretty high levels
and may be dangerous while
driving, Strayer said.
The studies contradict claims
by automakers, who have been
pitching the voice systems to
car buyers as a way they can
safely enjoy social media and
connectivity. Safety advocates
say drivers assume that such
systems are safe because they
are incorporated into vehicles
and are hands-free.
The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration,
which regulates vehicle safety,
has issued guidelines to automakers for dashboard systems
and is working on similar
guidelines for cellphones and
voice-activated systems, but the
guidelines are voluntary.
Kids also might visit the National

Postal Museum in Washington, D.C.,
where vintage postal-delivery planes
hang from the ceiling, or become members in the American Philatelic Society,
which holds meetings twice each year.
For parents seeking to get kids
involved, the answer might be as simple
as gathering that first batch of stamps
and spreading them out on the kitchen
table.
In our electronic age, stamp collecting has much more competition for
a childs interest than, say, 50 years
ago. But every child has an interest in
something, says Rizzo. When you put
a pile of stamps in front of a child and
they start thumbing through them, they
will almost always find something that
piques their interest.
Fire
the Facebook account was not public.

A reporter was able to access it early
Tuesday, though it was later disabled.
A spokesman for Facebook declined
Tuesday to comment on the dispute.
Facebooks own policies appear to prohibit the practice, telling users that You
will not provide any false personal
information on Facebook, or create an
account for anyone other than yourself
without permission.
Donald Kinsella, one of Arquietts
lawyers, declined to comment. Arquiett
did not respond to an emailed request
for comment.
Arquiett said in her filing that she
suffered fear and great emotional distress and was endangered because the
fake page gave the impression that
she was cooperating with Sinnigens
investigation as he interacted online
with dangerous individuals he was
investigating.
The fate of Arquietts fight against
the governments use of her identity
online is unclear. Law enforcement
agencies routinely use fictitious online
profiles in their investigations, including in cases of child pornography. But
its unclear how many other times a
real persons identity has been used in
this way.
A staff attorney at the Electronic
Frontier Foundation a civil liberties organization Nate Cardozo, said
the governments rationale was laughable.
If Im cooperating with law enforcement, and law enforcement says, Can I
search your phone? and I hand it over
to them, my expectation is that they
will search the phone for evidence of
a crime, Cardozo said, not that they
will take things that are not evidence off
my phone and use it in another context.
The fire was across the street from Lima City Schools and
the area was evacuated. Firefighters not only worked on the
fire, they had to make sure it didnt spread to any of the homes
nearby.
No injuries have been reported. Its unclear how the fire
started.

Trivia
Answers to Mondays questions:

The origin of the quote used in President John F.
Kennedys inaugural speech, Ask not what your country
can do for you; ask what you can do for your countrycame
from the young Kennedys headmaster at his prep school.
The headmaster told his students, Ask not what your
school can do for you; ask what you can do for your
school; and Kennedy adapted the phrase.
As depicted in many spy movies, the president would
not press a button; he would make a phone call. To begin a
nuclear attack, the president telephones the commander in
chief at the Strategic Air Command in Omaha, Nebraska;
several officers at SAC would verify the presidents orders.
Once verified, instructions would go to bomber and missile
crews, who would enact a series of movements to arm the
bombs.

Todays joke:
John received a free ticket to the Super Bowl.
Unfortunately, Johns seat was in the last row in the corner of the stadium. He was closer to the Goodyear Blimp
than the stadium. He noticed an empty seat 10 rows up
from the 50-yard line. He decided to make his way to the
empty seat. As he sits down he asks the man next to him if
anyone is sitting there. The man told him no, it was empty.
John is very excited to have a seat like this at a Super
Bowl and asks why in the world no one is using it? The
man replied that it was his wifes seat but she passed away.
He said this was the first Super Bowl that they have not
attended together since they were married in 1968. John
said that it was really sad and asked if he couldnt find
someone, a relative or a close friend to take the seat?
No, replied the man, Theyre at her funeral!
