Motorcyclists pull
over, beat SUV
driver in NYC
NEW YORK (AP) An
unauthorized motorcycle rally
featuring hundreds of bikers
parading through the streets
took a bloody turn when a large
group of riders surrounded a
man driving with his family, then
chased his SUV for miles after
he plowed through a blockade of
bikes and beat him.
One biker suffered broken
legs and apparent spine injuries
when the SUV ran over him and
may be paralyzed, police said. A
second biker suffered a leg injury.
The driver, who was traveling
with his wife and toddler, needed
stitches to his face at a hospital.
The frightening assault on
the man began Sunday after-
noon on Manhattans West Side
Highway and was partially
captured on a helmet-mounted
video camera worn by one of
the riders involved in the chase.
A portion of the video, post-
ed on the Internet by an uniden-
tified user, shows a large group
of bikers swarming around the
Range Rover as it heads north
on the highway. One of the bik-
ers then moves into the SUVs
lane and rides briefly alongside
it, peering in through the driv-
ers side window. Its unclear
from the video what the driver
might have done to anger the
motorcyclist.
The biker then cuts in front of
the Range Rover and, still star-
ing at the driver, suddenly slows
down. It isnt captured on the
video, but the motorcycle and
SUV bumped, police said.
The motorcyclists, 20 to 30
in all, then stop on the high-
way, blocking the SUVs path.
Some dismount and approach the
vehicle. Police said some of the
bikers then began damaging the
Range Rover.
The video shows the SUV
suddenly accelerating, bouncing
over at least one of the motor-
cycles and its rider as others
scramble to get out of the way.
The cyclists give chase, pur-
suing the driver for about 2.5
miles. The bikers succeed in get-
ting the SUV to stop.
One biker ripped open the
drivers door, but he sped away.
The chase ended when the
SUV exited the highway and
got stuck in street traffic. The
video shows one biker using
his helmet to smash the drivers
window. Police said the group
then pulled the man from the
SUV and beat him, although that
part isnt shown on the recording
posted online. The police depart-
ment confirmed that the video
circulating online is authentic.
The wife of biker Edwin
Mieses, Jr., who was run over by
the SUV, told reporters outside
Roosevelt-St. Lukes Hospital
that her husband was likely para-
lyzed.

STATE/LOCAL
BRIEFS
BY PHILLIP MORRIS
This past week, I had the plea-
sure to attend the final rehearsal
of Van Wert Civic Theatres pro-
duction of Little Women A
Little Musical. The title is quite
an understatement as a little musi-
cal it is not. This wonderful pro-
duction is a rather big musical by
bringing a popular and familiar
story to the stage and filling it
with music, beautiful costuming,
charming scenery, and a sense
of appreciation for life. For those
who enjoy a historical period
piece of dramatic work about life,
you are in for a treat.
Set in New England during
the Civil War time, the joys and
sorrows people experienced then
and now in life are exempli-
fied in the show. A few of the
universal experiences of life are
depicted in the performance by
very realistic characters. Trials of
family life and the endurance of
getting through those times with
the strong ties of family bonding
bring on a feeling of love and
hope.
The little women of the
show are played by Victoria
Knapke as Meg, Bella Chorvas
as Jo, Emily Klir as Beth, and
Tabitha Howell as Amy. Their
exceptional acting creates some
very nice moments which are
pleasurable and at times senti-
mental. One of the many pleasant
and touching songs begins right
away towards the opening of the
show with Father March (Bob
Howell) and Marmee (Jewell
Kurtz) singing about the struggles
of being separated by the war. It
was beautifully sung by both of
them. They, along with the other
performers, have a way of bring-
ing you into the special moments
of the show by tugging at your
heart with their singing and soft,
emotional expressions. Dee
Fisher, Joe Warnement, Peyton
Closson, Josh Adcock, Burdette
Bolenbaugh, Ketie Heffner,
Rachel Davis, Faith Maurer, Ellie
Warnement, Noah Howell, and
Autumn Howell fill out the cast
and all bring life to the show in
one way or another by blending
together the uniqueness of indi-
viduals with the wonders, disap-
pointments, and joys of life.
When it comes to some of the
details of the costuming, the cos-
tume director, RuthAnn Boley,
made sure everything was to its
finest. Not only were the cos-
tumes wonderfully fitting for
the time period, no pun intended,
the set also was just the right
touch for this show. Some of
the scenes had such a wonderful
warm feel which enhanced the
mood of the story. With the many
set changes, the transitions from
scene to scene seamlessly flowed
together. The stage manager,
Joe Maurer, and his stage crew
easily handled those transitions.
Overall, Director Joe Warnement
clearly had a well thought out
method and an artistic eye for the
creation of this beautiful musical.
I encourage you to see this
fine theatrical performance by
our local performers at the Van
Wert Civic Theatre. The show
runs Thursday-Saturday.

A busy day at the Eicher home and beyond
BY LOVINA EICHER
4:50 a.m. My alarm
goes off. Daughter Elizabeth
is up already, packing her
lunch. My husband Joe
didnt have work today so
we didnt have to get up
earlier.
5:10 a.m. Elizabeths
ride is here and she leaves
for the factory.
5:30 a.m. Joe gets up.
I told him to sleep in since
he has a chance, but he said
to him 5:30 is sleeping in.
I make some coffee and we
relax in our recliners until
its time to wake the children
up. Nights have been cool
so we usually close most of
the windows at night. These
chilly mornings make you
think of the winter months
ahead. We did have a kill-
ing frost already in some
areas on Saturday morn-
ing. It affected some of my
garden. Thats the earliest I
can remember having a kill-
ing frost since our move to
Michigan.
6 a.m. We
get the children
up to start get-
ting ready for
school. Our
breakfast is bis-
cuits and gravy.
7 a.m.
Bus is here
and Benjamin,
14; Loretta,
13; Joseph, 11;
Lovina, 9; and
Kevin, 8, all
leave for school.
Susan, 17, and Verena, 15,
wash the breakfast dish-
es. Joe does the morning
chores. The four calves still
seem to be doing well so far.
No more escapes and calf
chases, which we hope stays
that way. I clean up the
house and sweep the floors.
8:45 a.m. Susan,
Verena and I leave to go help
sister Emma with her clean-
ing. Church services will be
held there Sunday. Susan
and Verena go
with Tiger and
the pony wagon.
Susan thinks
Tiger needs
more exercise
so she decided
to take him. I
go with Itty Bit
and the queen-
size buggy. The
children plan to
come off the bus
today at Jacobs
so we need
more room to come home.
The queen-size buggy has
only one seat and our sur-
rey buggy has two seats.
Itty Bit is a smaller horse so
we usually hitch her to the
queen since its easier pull-
ing. Joe stays home to clear
out most of the garden and
get it ready to till.
Noon Emma fixed
a lunch of potato soup
and ham sandwiches. We
cleaned her basement and
washed off walls and ceil-
ings in both her bathrooms.
3:20 p.m. The children
come off the bus at Jacobs
house with their boys-Jacob
Jr., Benjamin and Steven.
They eat a snack and then
go outside to mow grass.
The girls are outside clean-
ing the tool shed windows
where church services will
be held. I do odd and end
jobs for Emma in the house.
5 p.m. We leave for
home. Elizabeth is home
from work and sewing on
her baptismal dress which
she finishes before supper-
time. Joe has the garden
looking better.
6:45 p.m. Suppers
a little later than usual.
We have scrambled eggs,
bacon, toast and tomatoes
on the menu.
8 p.m. Dishes are
washed and everyone is get-
ting cleaned up for bed.
9 p.m. Most of the
family is in bed, so all is
quiet. Its time to think
through the day so I could
write this diary. May God
bless you all!

Lady Jeffcats edge archrival Bearcats
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS There was
more to the Spencerville at
Jefferson volleyball match
Tuesday night than the usual
archrivalry.
It also matched brother ver-
sus sister in the head coaches as
Lady Wildcat coach Joy (Early)
DeVelvis matched wits with
her brother and former assistant
coach Joshua Early for the Lady
Bearcats.
As perhaps one might expect,
this Northwest Conference battle
went five sets at Jefferson High
School and the hosts emerged
with a 25-12, 25-16, 18-25,
22-25, 15-10 marathon triumph.
After the Lady Bearcats (4-13,
1-5 NWC) battled back from a
2-set deficit to force an ultimate
set, a stuff by Lady Jeffcat (7-11,
1-15) senior Katie Goergens (10
kills; 6 aces; numerous touches at
the net on Spencerville hits) gave
the home team early momentum.
Two hitting errors by the Lady
Bearcats put them in a 3-0 deficit,
a hole from which they could
never recover. With Goergens
and fellow senior Lindsay Deuel
(8 kills, as well as her work on
blocks and slowing down the
Spencerville attack) doing much
of the work for the hosts, as well
as five Spencerville miscues, the
Bearcats couldnt answer. When
senior Rileigh Stockwell got a
clean kill down the line from
the left side, Jefferson sealed the
5-setter.
We were very scrappy today.
We have been working on that
a lot during practice, DeVelvis
explained. We have been play-
ing a lot of scrappy teams lately
and the girls have seen what other
teams can do playing that way;
we figured out what we can get
accomplished when we battle to
not let the ball hit the court.
Early figured it came down to
not getting enough kills.
We didnt get enough of
those points. Both teams had a
lot of digs and touches at the
net, he noted. Im proud of
the effort these girls showed. We
were down to Allen East two sets
and it went five, though we lost.
We know what we are capable
of; the good thing is all these girls
will be back next year.
Jefferson got off quickly in
the opening set and never looked
back. A Goergens ace made
the score 10-2 and forced Early
to take a timeout. That didnt
slow down the Jeffcat momen-
tum much as not much later, a
7-0 spurt with six kills from
various sources put the Red
and White in complete control at
21-7 on a bump winner by junior
Brooke Culp (19 assists). An ace
by Goergens sealed the opening
installment.
It seemed as if the trend of
the first set was going to con-
tinue in the second set, with a
kill by Deuel putting the hosts
up 10-4. Just as quickly, the
Bearcats began to rally back,
keyed by a kill by junior Schylar
Miller (14 assists), tying the set
at 10 on a hitting error. As well,
the volleys began to lengthen,
with both squads digging like
demons refusing to let the
ball hit the court and getting
touches at the net on a regu-
lar basis. Jefferson senior libero
Kamie Pulford was instrumental
there, as were classmate Gabby
Pimpas and junior Desteni Lear;
Spencerville countered with
junior libero Maddy Hollar and
classmates Cali Conrad and
Amanda Crider in particular.
However, the hosts had the
finishing kick. A Spencerville
serving error put the Wildcats
up 18-16 and Goergens took the
serving controls. Five aces later,
including one that hit off the net
and fell to the floor on set point,
gave them a 2-set lead.
However, the Red and White
couldnt sustain that momen-
tum into the third set. The Black
Attack got off to a 5-1 edge on a
hitting miscue by the hosts, 11-6
on an ace by junior Megan Miller
(8 kills) and 18-13 on another hit-
ting error. Though the Wildcats
rallied all three times to tie the
score at 6-6 (a Stockwell kill),
11-11 (a hitting error) and 18-18
(a Stockwell ace), the Bearcats
had the final reply. After junior
Cierra Adams put down a spike
off the Jefferson block, that put
the serve in the hands of Schylar
Miller. Two Megan Miller kills
and four aces later, including on
set point, kept the Bearcats in the
match.
Musketeer girls get better of Mustangs
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
FORT JENNINGS The Fort Jennings
girls soccer crew did its best work in the first
half Tuesday afternoon, scoring three times en
route to a 3-1 non-league victory over Allen
East at Fort Jennings Athletic Complex.
Fort Jennings mentor Rodney Wagner
figured it came down to a depth issue that
didnt allow his team to maintain consistency
this day.
We played well for the first
half, despite going against the
wind; we did some good things
to get the goals. We did what
we had to do as far as score and
then held on, Musketeer coach
Rodney Wagner explained. I
think that wind took a lot out of
us because we werent the same
team the second. We are still
missing five girls and I dont know when
well get them back; that hurt us today
when we needed the depth. Our defenders
played the entire way and we were tired
at the end. We usually try to keep our for-
wards and midfielders fresh but even they
were playing 70 minutes, with only a break
here or there. We got the lead, held on and
got the win.
His Lady Mustang counterpart, Lamar
Houston, had the opposite assessment.
We decided to start playing soccer the
second half, he explained. What hurt us is
that we start five freshmen and play two more,
so we are still learning how to keep our shape
and get back on defense. We reinforce that
every day in practice but its a slow process
of learning to do that in matches. Were going
through the growing pains; thats what we
went through today.
The Lady Musketeers (7-3-3) controlled
the orb for major parts of the first half, getting
the first shot on-goal at 35:53 on a 16-yarder
by junior Keri Eickholt, but Lady Mustang
senior keeper Kyra Plaugher (4 saves vs. 10
shots) got the stop.
The Mustangs (8-3-
4) then had some ball
possession for the next
five minutes or so but
never really threatened
the goal.
The hosts then re-
asserted control for most
of the last 30 minutes of
the first half and broke
through at 26:51. On a long shot
from the left side by senior Ashley Gable, the
ball hit off the crossbar and ricocheted right in
front of the net, where senior Marissa Good
pout the ball into the net from point-blank
range for a 1-0 lead.
At 21:10, the visitors had an attempt by
freshman Marie Beach from the right side
that junior netminder Erin Osting (5 saves vs.
8 shots) gobbled up.
At 6:19, the hosts made it 2-0. Off a short
corner kick from the right side, Gable found
Good just outside the 18 box and her wing
shot went over the top of the keeper and into
left side of the twine.
Allen East had a 16-yard effort by fresh-
man Jade Meyer denied by Osting.
The next real opening for the Orange and
Black came with just 19 ticks to go in the half.
Sophomore Jordan Horstman got a good run
down the left side and fired a 12-yarder from
the wing that deflected off a defender and
inside the near post for a 3-0 edge.
The visitors had better control the second
half and thus better offensive opportunities
and had the first serious effort just 1:10 in
but Meyers 20-yarder hit the bar.
Osting knocked away a
14-yarder by freshman Leah
Casey at 33:40 and did the same
on a 20-yarder by sophomore
Savananh Silone at 33:00.
Jenningsfirst good look in the
half came at 30:19 when Gable
shook loose for a 20-yarder but
Plaugher deflected and finally got
possession of the orb.
The visitors reduced their deficit to 3-1
at 28:21. Silone had a nice run down the left
side, got around a defender just inside the box
and fired a 14-yarder from the wing just inside
the near post.
Shots on-goal were few and far between
the rest of the way, with the defenders in front
of the net not letting the forwards and attack-
ing midfielders getting open looks.
Jennings hosts Van Buren at 5 p.m.
Thursday, while Allen East visits Jefferson at
5 p.m. Monday.

Grove boys dominate Old
Shoe cross country meet
By Charlie Warnimont
DHI Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
OTTAWA Columbus
Grove boys cross country
coach Terry Schnipke likes
it when he looks out over a
cross country course and sees
his teams white uniforms
bunched together.
Tuesday evening at
the Putnam County Old
Shoe Cross Country
Invitational, Schnipke
saw just that.
While Ottawa-
Glandorf s Matias
Trampe-Kindt was
winning the race, his
Bulldog runners filled the
next five spots and eight of
the next nine as the Bulldogs
easily repeated as champions
of the event.
Dominating the top 10,
the Bulldogs finished the
race with 20 points as the
Titans were second with 47
points. Kalida was third with
90 points and Ottoville
was fourth with 94
points.
On the girls side,
the Lady Bulldogs
were unable to match
Pandora-Gilboas pack
as they finished second to the
rival Rockets.
The Lady Rockets claimed
the PCL title with 31 points
as the Bulldogs were second
with 58 points. Kalida was
third with 63 points and O-G
was fourth with 64 points.
O-G senior Trampe-Kindt
continued his domi-
nance of local courses,
winning the race in
a time of 16:59. And
while his teammate,
Chris Hyman, man-
aged a seventh-place finish
in 18:42, the Bulldogs domi-
nated the majority of the top-
10 positions.
This was fun to watch,
Schnipke said. I like those
white uniforms. I love seeing
them in a pack. That was kind
of fun today.
The Bulldogs were led
by junior standout Colton
Grothaus with a second-place
finish in 17:05. Grothaus
gave Trampe-Kindt a stiff
challenge for the top spot,
battling the Titan senior into
the final mile before settling
for second place.
With three-quarters of a
mile to go, I was surprised
with how close Colton was
making this, Schnipke
said. He was right
on Matiass tail and I
thought he was going
to catch him. He ran
out of gas, though, as
he has been battling a
cold. Matias is a good
runner, so give him credit.
Following Grothaus across
the finish line was Jerry
Kesselmayer in third and Lee
Altenburger in fourth as both
crossed the line in 18:19.
Logan Douglas was fifth in
18:23 and Bryce Sharrits
was sixth in 18:28. Boone
Brubaker finished eighth in
18:46, Alex Tabler
was ninth in 18:46 and
Zach Schafer was 10th
in 18:50.
Kalidas Adam von
der Embse finished
11th in 19:00 and Grant
Zeller was 13th in 19:15.
Ottoville was led by Cody
Kemper as he finished 20th
in 20:08.
On the girls side,
Kalida sophomore Katelyn
Siebeneck led much of the
race before being passed
by Pandora-Gilboas Anna
Abelovska in the final
mile. Abelovska, who
is from Slovokia, won
the race in 20:50 as
Siebeneck finished sec-
ond in 20:59. It was
just Abelovskas second cross
country race for the Rockets
as her paperwork was just
approved by the OHSAA last
week.
The Rockets won the title
as they had four of the top
five runners in the race.

Blue Jay boys harriers 3rd at Allen County
LIMA The St. Johns boys cross country runners placed
third out of 10 teams at Tuesdays Allen County Invitational
held at Faurot Park in Lima.
St. Johns senior Aaron Hellman finished 17th (19:28) on
a very challenging course. Also placing in the top 10 for the
boys was Curtis Pohlman 10th.
Senior Megan Joseph was fourth in the girls race.
I challenged the boys before the race to see if we could get
third place as a team and they came through and got us that.
Aaron Hellman ran a great race tonight by almost running a
personal record on a very hilly course, Jays coach Steve
Hellman noted. Also helping the boys were Curtis finishing
10th, Nick Pohlman 25th, Anthony Hale 36th, Evyn Pohlman
54th and Patrick Stevenson 60th. This was our highest fin-
ish in this meet since 2003. As a team this was also our best
showing since 2003. I am very proud of the kids and where
we have brought the program. For the girls, Megan ran another
good race. Some of the kids were not happy with their times
but I had to remind them this is the toughest course we run on
all year.
Also running in the race were Spencerville and Elida but
results were not available as of press time.
All three local teams are in Thursdays Coldwater Lions
Invitational starting at 5 p.m.

Versatile Bulldog netters broom away Lady Jays
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
COLUMBUS GROVE Columbus
Groves volleyball team is looking to
secure the top seed at the Findlay Division
III Sectional during the draw Sunday.
St. Johns would testify to that effect
after seeing the Lady Bulldogs sweep
them 25-12, 25-11, 25-11 Monday night
at Columbus Grove High School.
Grove has a lot of tall and experi-
enced girls and it affected the way we
had to try and hit through their blockers,
Jays coach Carolyn Dammeyer said. It
forces you to try and do too much and it
can lead to more errors. They dont give
you a lot of holes to find, especially at
the net.
The Lady Bulldogs showed just too
much consistency and variety to their
attack for the Lady Jays.
We definitely want that top seed,
Grove coach Susan Jones explained.
What I think our girls do very well is
focus on five points at a time; thats been
a strength all year. We get on a roll like
that and we keep it up. We have enough
variety at the net and our setters do well
at distributing the ball.
The visitors stayed close for a while in
each set but couldnt maintain it.
Take, for example, the second set. The
Jays only trailed 5-4 on a serving error by
the hosts but then a tip off the block by
senior Julia Wynn (8 kills) gave the serve
to junior Briana Glass (13 assists). With
senior Sammi Stechschulte (9 kills) put-
ting down four kills and a stuff, as well as
two hitting errors, the hosts put together
eight straight points to take command at
13-4 on a kill by Stechschulte. Try as they
might, the Jays couldnt keep pace as the
hosts pulled away and took a 2-set lead
on a kill by junior Sydney McCluer (3
aces; 11/11 hitting, 4 kills).
In the third set, the Bulldogs steadily
pulled away behind a pair of early aces
by senior Kelli Vorst (3 aces; 7 digs) and
the hitting of Wynn. The Jays struggled to
get good hits in against the tall front line
of Grove but still only trailed 13-9 on a
kill by freshman Jessica Geise (3 kills; 2
blocks). A push over the block by senior
Megan Verhoff gave the serve to Hope
Schroeder and five hitting errors made
things easier for the hosts as they ran off
eight straight to take a 21-9 edge. It was
only a matter of time as a bomb off the
back row by Wynn finished the sweep.
Our serve-receive was OK but they
put a lot of pressure on it. You have to
pass well to get your offense going,
Dammeyer added. It took us a while to
adjust to their offense but we started to
get more touches and blocks in the third
set; we started to get a double-block on
their middle hitter.
Also pacing the Lady Blue Jays were
senior Kaylie Youngpeter (15 digs; 3
aces), junior Bekah Fischer (5 kills; 3
blocks), sophomore Maddie Buettner (4
kills; 3 blocks), senior Brittney Claypool
(2 kills), senior Alicia Buettner (2 kills),
junior Colleen Schulte (12 assists) and
freshman Maya Gerker (8 assists; 2 aces).
Senior Rachel Schumacher set the
Grove table with 13 assists.
We served very well; its something
we work on every day at practice, Jones
added. We can serve with power and we
can serve with direction; it just depends
on who we have back there and what
we think we need. These girls know
how to play the game and they play well
together.
The Bulldogs also won the junior var-
sity matchup 25-23, 25-20.
The Blue Jays (4-14) get no rest from
tough opposition as they visit Minster
for Midwest Athletic Conference action
Thursday.
The Lady Bulldogs (14-2) visit Ada
Thursday.

Lady Cats take
sting from Hornets
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
MT. CORY Jeffersons girls soccer team put up three
goals in the first half Monday afternoon at Cory-Rawson High
School en route to a 4-1 non-conference victory over the Lady
Hornets at Mt. Cory.
The Wildcats had the first good look of the afternoon at
37:07 of the first half as junior Kylee Haehn fired a 20-yarder
but Lady Hornet (5-5-3) senior keeper Abby Schultz (12 saves
vs. 21 shots) got the stop.
The Hornets with only one sub
due to five injured players had
a great chance to go up a goal at
36:50 as Becca Schutz got a 1-on-1
16-yarder with Jefferson junior net-
minder Kayleigh OConnor (5 saves
vs. 10 shots) but the keeper deflected
the orb wide.
Schutz had another try at 33:54
but missed over the top.
It was all Wildcats with two
injuries out of their 16 girls after
that in the half.
At 20:15, sophomore Logan
Hamilton got free for a 1-touch 6-yarder but Schultz kicked
the ball away.
The Wildcats (5-6-2) kept attacking and finally broke on
the scoreboard at 18:14. Set up by an assist from junior Bailey
Miller, freshman Addison Schimmoeller let fly from just
inside the 18 from the left wing and got inside that post for a
1-0 edge.
The Hornets tried to tie it at 16:57 when junior Shiann
Ludwig went for a high looper from 20 yards but OConnor
patiently grabbed the effort.
On the Wildcats next big chance at 15:57 they made
it 2-0. Freshman Arianna Knebel fed Hamilton for a 16-yarder
on the right wing and her shot found the left side of the twine.
Hamilton was denied at 13:21 when her 16-yarder was
kicked away by Schultz.
Cory-rawson almost halved their deficit at 12:24 when
senior Hannah Roebke for a good look from the left post but
with OConnor coming off her line enough, the 12-yarder
missed just wide right.
With 6:50 left in the half, Haehn on the left side
passed inside to Knebel and her top-of-the-box shot eluded
the keepers hands and found the left side of the twine for a
3-0 edge.
The keepers did a good job of denying the other offenses
chances in the second half.
OConnor stopped a couple of shots within the first eight
minutes, by freshman Dana Desgranges (35:59) and Roebke
(32:43), as well as deflecting a 12-yarder by Roebke at 28:10.
After Haehn just missed at 34:31, Schultz deflected away
a couple of Jefferson efforts: at 29:17, when she kicked away
an 8-yarder by Hamilton; and at 19:59, when Hamiltons
12-yarder was again deflected by the keeper.
At 16:43, senior Natasha Shields had a great chance for the
hosts within eight yards but OConnor made the save.
At 16:13, Schutz was open for a 19-yard laser but freshman
defender Cheyanna Scirocco got in the way.
Schultz kept the Wildcats off the board or else they
missed the target numerous times in the second half before
the home team finally broke the shutout at 6:18. Off a great
individual effort, freshman Brooklyn Shoemaker fired a
12-yarder on the right wing that found the opposite side of the
net for a 3-1 deficit.
However, the Red and White tacked on the final goal at
1:41. On a quick counter down the right sideline, Hamilton fed
Haehn for a nice run and her 17-yarder got inside the near post.
Even though we scored three times the first half, I didnt
feel we played very well. There are things we work on every
day at practice and we like to see them carried over to the
matches; we didnt see that the first half and that was disap-
pointing, Jefferson coach Josiah Stober explained. I felt we
were much better the second half, despite only scoring once
more. We are trying to establish the right way of playing soc-
cer here at Jefferson and we did that more the second half. We
have some possessions where we had five or six passes in a
row that found feet, something we have been focusing on at
practice. We communicated much better again, a point of
emphasis and we had better shots on-goal.
Cory-Rawson hosts Bluffton Wednesday.
I was disappointed in our effort the first half; we came
out very flat and were very passive, Hornet coach Mark
Schwemer added. Jefferson is a patient team that plays calm;
they like to take their time. We were better the second half;
the girls responded to our talk at halftime. We still werent as
aggressive as Id like but that was better. We just ran into the
fact we had one sub.
The Wildcats visit Lima Senior at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

OBrien ready to lead Penn
State into Big Ten play
By DAN GELSTON
Associated Press
Penn State coach Bill OBrien sure enjoys it
when the seasons change.
Not just summer to fall.
But nonconference to Big Ten.
When the Big Ten season rolls around, fall is
beginning, its a little cooler out, OBrien said,
and the guys are very aware that is a very impor-
tant time of the year. It starts with Indiana. I dont
know if theres extra excitement but
theres definitely a level of energy
and alertness you start to see this
time of year.
Penn State (3-1) heads to
Indiana (2-2) trying for one more
win to build a nice cushion before Michigan
rolls in next week in front of a sold-out Beaver
Stadium.
The Big Ten has a stout first weekend ahead.
Ohio State, Northwestern and Michigan are all
undefeated and all eyes will be in Evanston,
Ill., for the early-season conference game of the
season.
There might not be much suspense at Indiana.
The Nittany Lions are 16-0 vs. Indiana and Penn
State won last year, 45-22.
The Nittany Lions were off last week but
still may have tallied their biggest win of the sea-
son. The NCAA restored some of the scholarships
taken from the school as part of the punishment
over the Jerry Sandusky scandal, phasing them
until the school reaches normal totals in 2016-17.
OBrien, who has steadied the program in the
wake of the scandal, had an extra selling point on
the recruiting trail.
I talked to a few of them; were only allowed
one phone call a week right now, he said. I think
its positive and its positive news for Penn State.
Our guys feel good about it but were focused on
Indiana. Our guys are pleased with the news but
were focused on the Indiana game.
Penn State has had a nice start to the season,
though no one will confuse Syracuse, Eastern
Michigan and Kent State with any of the Big Ten
teams out of Michigan and Ohio.
OBrien will put the class of the Big Ten up
against just about any other conference in the
nation.
The Southeastern Conference
is a fantastic league; nobody is
going to debate that and probably
the best in the country right now,
he added. But I think we have
some really good players and some really good
coaches in this league.
The Big Ten will get to showcase that ahead
and these are five things to watch in the first full
weekend of conference play:
GAME OF THE WEEK: This is the game
No. 16 Northwestern (4-0) has been waiting
for all season, if not years. A team that came in
with high expectations is right where it hoped
to be heading into the showdown against the
No. 4 Buckeyes (5-0). But Ohio State is riding
a nations best 17-game winning streak and
plans to spoil Northwesterns homecoming
party. The Buckeyes havent been to Evanston
since 2008 and Northwestern is 9-1 at home
since 2012.
The change in the climate here and the way
that our fans have not only supported us here but
the bowl experiences weve had are just amaz-
ing, Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald said. Were
very thankful to be Chicagos Big Ten team.
Kukura doesnt want streak to end on his watch
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
Sam Kukura was a ballboy
the last time Kirtland lost a
regular-season game.
He doesnt want that 4-year
streak to end while hes a player.
Kukura, the leading rusher
for the Hornets, has watched
as Kirtland has won its last 40
scheduled games dating from a
53-7 win over Burton Berkshire
on Oct. 2, 2009.
He was in the eighth grade
and retrieving pigskins on Sept.
24, 2009, when Kirtland lost to
Cuyahoga Heights, 20-10.
Thats crazy, said Kukura,
who had 189 yards rushing and
four TDs in a 41-14 win over
Cuyahoga Heights on Friday to
stretch the streak to 40. Wow.
That was a long time ago.
Kukura said winning regu-
lar-season games isnt the goal.
The Hornets lost in the Division
V state final 10-9 last year to
Coldwater, one year after win-
ning the state championship.
Kirtland is 34-1 over its past 35
games.
Its nice but we dont talk
about it, Kukura added of the
winning streak. We just focus
on things we need to do to win
the next week.
SHORT WORK: Unbeaten
Clyde was put on upset alert
midway through the second
quarter at Sandusky St. Mary
(1-4), as the Panthers had
forged a 21-21 tie after not scor-
ing on the Fliers in four years.
But the Fliers responded with
five TDs in 6 minutes as part
of a 42-point second quarter in
a 63-28 win. Arlington is 5-0

50-yard runs and John Elledge

Spencerville appeared to have the
momentum in the fourth set, get-
ting out to a 10-4 edge on a kill by
junior Katie Merriman. Again, the
Wildcats had the answer, helped by
some hitting miscues by their rivals,
to take a 14-13 edge on one of those
errors. A missed serve by Jefferson
ignited a 7-0 Spencerville span as the
hosts had a few miscues, forcing a
DeVelvis timeout down 20-14. That
stoppage did the trick as a missed
serve, a Culp kill and stuff and two
aces by sophomore Claire Thompson
rallied them to a 21-12 tie on a hitting
error. However, a Jefferson hitting
error start Spencerville on a finish-
ing spurt 4-1 forced the fifth
set on a push into the open court by
Merriman.
We came off a 5-set win at Bath
the night before. I felt with that, plus
the rivalry we have with Spencerville
and me coaching against Josh add-
ing some more to it, the girls were
excited and it showed the first two
sets, DeVelvis added. We then went
into our mental blahs in the third and
fourth sets. Fortunately, we got out of
that in the fifth set and played very
well to finish it off. Again, it came
down to our great effort.
Both teams return to action
Thursday: Jefferson at Allen East and
Spencerville vs. LCC.
We simply didnt play well the
first set. For some reason, it usu-
ally takes us about a set to get into
a match; tonight it was a set and a
half, Early added. Once we got
into it, we played well. When that
happens, we can compete well; we
just need to really get started earlier.
I cannot fault the effort of the girls.

Heidelberg maintains dominance over
Lady Beaver volleyball
TIFFIN The Bluffton University vol-
leyball team had visions of handing Coach
Yarnell his first-ever victory over Heidelberg
University when the Beavers traveled to
Tiffin on Tuesday.
A solid 25-18 showing in the lidlifter gave
the visitors hope before Heidelberg returned
to form and made quick work of Bluffton dur-
ing the next three sets (25-18, 25-13, 25-17).
Bluffton slipped to 8-12 on the season, while
Heidelberg improved to 8-9 overall.
Bluffton controlled set one from the outset,
opening up a 22-12 lead before Heidelberg
made the final respectable with six of the last
nine points. The second set saw Heidelberg
go up 11-4 before Bluffton pulled within
18-17 late. However, the Beavers managed
just one more point as Heidelberg returned the
favor with a 25-18 win.
The final result was never in doubt the
rest of the way as the Student Princes kept
Bluffton off balance in sets three and four.
The Beavers put together multiple serves
just twice in each of the final two sets as
Heidelberg cruised to victory.
Sophomore Jenny Brown (St. Marys/
Memorial) and freshman Lauren Weisgarber
were impressive at the net, pounding 12 and
11 kills, respectively. Sophomore Brooke
Ruffer and freshman Adrienne Shepard also
showed their mettle at the net with nine and
seven kills, respectively. Ruffer handed out a
team-high 22 assists, while fellow sophomore
Sara Roth added 15 helpers.
Brown and Kendra Parmenter were both
in on a pair of blocks for the Beavers. Senior
Hailey Phillips and freshman MacKenzie
McFarlin picked up 16 and 11 digs to pace the
Bluffton defense.
The Beavers delve into Heartland
Conference action this Saturday when they
travel to Terre Haute, Ind., to battle the Rose-
Hulman Fightin Engineers. The first serve is
slated for 5 p.m.

MONDAY
Jeffcat tough out 5-setter vs. Wildkittens
BATH TOWNSHIP Jeffersons vol-
leyballers traveled to Bath High School
Monday night and prevailed in five sets:
24-26, 25-19, 20-25, 25-21, 15-13.
The visiting Wildcats record is now 6-11.
Leading the way for the victors was
senior Lindsay Deuel (21 kills; 14-of-14 serv-
ing with 1 ace), as well as senior Rileigh
Stockwell (7 kills, 2 aces) and junior Brooke
Culp (31 assists).
We, yet again, found ourselves in another
close match. Our girls fought hard all the way
to the end and got the win! Jefferson head
coach Joy DeVelvis noted. Lindsay really
stepped up tonight! She hit the ball consistent-
ly well, earning 21 kills (the most in one night
for our team) and she also served well. Her
aggressive play at the net really helped our
team a lot. Her touches made it easier for our
passers to get to the ball and her kills kept our
momentum going forward! Brooke Culp also
played great. She earned 31 assists tonight,
the most in one match for her as well.
The Delphos junior varsity also won
25-22, 27-25.

LadyCats stay unbeaten in PCL
By BOB WEBER
DHI Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE Monday night, the
Kalida Lady Wildcats traveled west down St.
Rt. 224 to the home of the Big Green for their
annual Putnam County League girls soccer
match.
The Lady Wildcats were able to score a
goal in each half to come away with a 2-0 win
over the Lady Green.
On paper, this was a mismatch; however,
anyone that has ever watched a PCL game
in any sport knows better. You throw out the
records; you dont worry about what hap-
pened yesterday, its all about tonight and who
wants it the most.
Both teams have suffered some key inju-
ries prior to the season and throughout play
this year. The Lady Green, with 16 girls
on their roster, lost junior Haley Landwehr
before the season even began and has had
several players out during the season with
injuries or illness.
The Lady Wildcats lost one of the best
soccer players in the area when junior Jackie
Gardner broke her foot.
The first half saw the Lady Wildcats
pressuring the Lady Greens defense from
the onset of the game. Sophomore Makenna
Richey, junior Lindsey Erhart and sophomore
Brittany Kahle tested the Lady Green defense
and goalie Danielle Trenkamp throughout
the half.
The Lady Green, for 39-plus minutes,
survived shot after shot and played inspired
defense behind sophomores Alena Horstman,
Erica Brickner, Carly Kortokrax, junior
Megan Lambert and senior Haylee Koester.
Well, the halves in soccer are 40 minutes
long and with only 14 seconds left in the first
half, the Lady Wildcats pushed down the field
one last time and found Kahle open behind
the defense and her shot escaped Trenkamp,
giving the visitors a 1-0 lead.
The Lady Wildcats outshot the Lady
Green 7-0 during the first half. The Lady
Green had only two threats during the half,
with corner kicks from junior Courtney Von
Sossan and a couple of breakaways from
senior Karin Wendeberg that were well
defended by the Wildcats.
The second half was completely con-
trolled by the Lady Wildcats as they con-
tinued their assault on the Lady Green goal.
Ottoville head coach Tim Kimmets squad
gave a strong effort on the night but the
Wildcats just had too many weapons on both
ends of the field.
At the 16:54 mark, sophomore Laine
Laudick found the back of the net, giving the
Lady Wildcats a 2-0 lead that stood for the
remainder of the game.
The Lady Wildcats outshot the Lady
Green 11-0 on the evening.
The Lady Wildcats (11-0-1, 3-0 PCL) will
next play Thursday night against Swanton
with a 7 oclock start. The Lady Green (5-8-
0, 0-3 PCL) will also be in action Thursday
as they travel to Continental for another PCL
contest.

Pilots work past Ottoville netters
OTTOVILLE Ottoville won the
first set Monday against visiting Ayersville
but the Lady Pilots rallied to win the final
three for a 16-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-19
in volleyball action at L.W. Heckman
Gymnasium.
Pacing the Lady Green were Chelsey
Boecker (46/46 setting, 5 assists), Taylor
Mangas (16/17 serving, 3 aces) and Annie
Lindeman (20/23 hitting, 8 kills).
The hosts won the junior varsity match
26-28, 25-20, 25-11.
The Lady Green is in a tri-match at
Lima Central Catholic at 10 a.m. Saturday.

The Bearcats were led by Schylar
Miller with 20 assists, Maddy Hollar and
Katie Merriman each with 12 digs and
Cierra Adams with seven kills.
Round up
Buckeyes like to run, then throw over a defense
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Urban Meyer pre-
fers the thunder. But that just sets up the
lightning.
No. 4 Ohio State runs on 60 percent
of its plays. Sending the tailbacks up the
middle or Braxton Miller around end
serve as body blows to soften a defense
for what might just happen if they start
to lean too heavily toward the line to
stop the ground attack.
Then the Buckeyes throw deep.
We couldnt do that last year. There
were games I refused to call it because
they were going to be covered and we
couldnt throw it, Meyer said. This
Saturday, we are going to try the same
thing. Thats a big part of who we are.
So we would have more explosive pass
plays. I dont know if I remember this
many early in the season, ever.
No fewer than 15 times, the
Buckeyes have completed a touchdown
pass that has covered at least 20 yards.
Some were short passes turned into a
big gain but most reflect the Buckeyes
ability to throw deep passes
more effectively this season.
Its an either/or proposition
for opposing teams. No. 16
Northwestern is the next foe to
face that challenge on Saturday.
Ohio State (5-0, 1-0 Big
Ten) has run for 14 touchdowns
so far. It has recorded 19 touchdown
passes.
To put that into perspective, only
nine times in the programs previous
123 years have the Buckeyes thrown
more scoring passes in an entire season.
And the current squad still has seven
regular-season games remaining.
They are on pace to easily eclipse
the school record for scoring passes in a
season of 33, set by Bobby Hoying and
Co. in 1995.
Miller missed almost three entire
games but came back to throw four
scoring passes in Saturdays 31-24 win
over No. 23 Wisconsin
three of them covering 25,
26 and 40 yards.
When Miller was out,
Kenny Guiton filled in
against mediocre teams and
threw 13 scoring passes
including a school-record
six in the first half over Florida A&M.
Tom Herman, Ohio States quarter-
backs coach and co-offensive coordina-
tor, said the Buckeyes started throwing
more bombs because they had to.
You guys saw how people started
playing us the latter half of last year.
In order for us to be able to be who we
want to be running the football, we had
to make (the deep pass) a viable threat,
Herman explained. So we worked
our tails off all spring, all offseason, all
two-a-days to make sure we were effec-
tive if not proficient at throwing
the ball down the field when people
wanted to load the line of scrimmage to
stop the run.
All that hard work hardened and
refined a group of wide receivers that
Meyer had belittled much of his first
season. He called them subpar, medio-
cre and uninspired.
Now he is their biggest backer,
throwing compliments their way at
every opportunity.
Corey Brown has five touchdown
receptions to share the team lead with
Devin Smith, while Chris Fields has
four and Evan Spencer three. All have
been dependable targets so far.
Brown said hes not a bit surprised
that the Buckeyes have suddenly shown
a propensity for airing it out.
Not with the amount of work we
did in the offseason with Braxton and
Kenny, he added. As much pressure
as coach Meyer put on us to get bet-
ter as a unit, I think this was kind of
expected.
A year after not really having a
quick-strike offense when passing, the
Buckeyes are suddenly capable of scor-
ing in a hurry.
We can throw a deep ball, Meyer
added.
BUCKEYES BUZZ: Of all the
Buckeyes on social media and
almost all of them are none is quite
so entertaining of a tweeter as Brown.
He has lashed out at ESPN announc-
ers, struck back at people who demean
the Buckeyes and has expressed his
opinion on a variety of topics. He said
the coaching staff has never confronted
him on anything he has written on
Twitter or Facebook.

DEAR BRUCE: I am 70
years old, widowed with no
children. I have no debt and
pay my credit card balance
in full every month. I have
investments of $450,000. I
have a nice home worth about
$150,000.
My goal is to buy a cottage
in a retirement community. It
will cost me about $150,000
plus $800 a month in utility
fees.
Will this be sufficient, or
should I get a reverse mort-
gage, stay in my home and
invest the money from the
mortgage?
My monthly income is
$1,782 and my investments
for the month usually pro-
vide another $1,000. I have
all my assets and expenses on
a spreadsheet, which I have
done for years, but still won-
der what is the best for me.
-- Tiger, via email
DEAR TIGER: Your
situation seems to be OK to
me. Buying the cottage in the
retirement community will be
a wash against the sale of your
home. No problem there.
The $800 a month in utili-
ties fees seems rather sub-
stantial. That is approximately
$10,000 a year and far too
large a percentage for shelter.
On the other side of that,
you say you are earning only
$1,000 a month on invest-
ments. If you can earn 5 per-
cent, you would have roughly
$23,000 coming in a year.
You are going to ask,
where do I get 5 percent? With
a decent broker handling your
account both for dividends
and appreciation, a 5 percent
return is not an unreasonable
amount. If you can increase
your income $12,000 a year,
you should be OK.
DEAR BRUCE: I sold
my house and I would like
to invest some of the money
for my grandchildren to get
them started. They range in
age from 20 to 30 years old.
The 20-year-old is in his sec-
ond year of college, and the
others have good jobs.
I want to invest $10,000
for two of them and $5,000 for
the other two. I read your col-
umn every week and respect
your answers very much and
would like some help from
you on what would be the
best way to go about this for
them for a long term. -- J.R.,
via email
DEAR J.R.: I understand
what you are trying to do for
the kids and thats terrific.
However, the $30,000 should
be put in a special account
in your name and your name
alone.
As to how that should be
invested, that is another mat-
ter. I would want you to be a
little on the aggressive side.
Your grandchildren arent
going to need the money
right away and if your invest-
ment doesnt make money,
they havent
lost anything. But in the long
term, they will benefit from
the aggressive investing.
DEAR BRUCE: I had a
credit card that on many occa-
sions, no matter how early I
mailed the payment, the com-
pany claimed it was late. This
account appears on my credit
report as 90 days past due,
paid in full, account closed.
I have since received let-
ters about a class-action law-
suit against this company. I
guess I wasnt the only one
with this problem.
What can I do about get-
ting this off of my credit
report? The reason it was 90
days late is a long story. It is
the only blemish I have on
my report. -- J.P., Anaconda,
Mont.
DEAR J.P.: If you have
only this one blemish on
your credit report, I wouldnt
get upset about it. Since the
account is closed, there is little
you can do.
You say it shows 90 days
past due. I am assuming you
mean that there were past
due payments, but since the
account is now paid in full,
its not really an issue. Over a
period of time, it will eventu-
ally fall away. In the mean-
time, I dont think you will
have difficulty getting credit.
DEAR BRUCE: We have
a Roth IRA that is maturing
soon. I have a very good rate.
Do you mind telling me where
I can get a 5 percent reinvest-
ment? -- J.L., via email
DEAR J.L.: Its no big
secret. In my opinion, 5 per-
cent is not a difficult number
to obtain. It does involve tak-
ing a certain degree of risk in
the market. There is nothing
wrong with some risk, and
without the risk you wont get
anything on your investment.
I am suggesting you go to a
good broker, sit down and tell
him or her what you would
like to accomplish: getting at
least 5 percent or more by
investing in good, substantial
stocks that are paying decent
dividends. This requires the
discipline to hang in there
when things are going down,
as they will, and looking over
your portfolio regularly. Do
not panic with the ups and
downs of the market. In time,
the market will go up in value.

Smart
Money
Were all coupon crazy!
And for good reason: With
so many great sources online
and on your smartphone, it
makes no sense to buy some-
thing without at least trying to
use a coupon.
The best sites and apps
make finding savings fast and
fun. ShopSmart, the shopping
magazine from the publisher
of Consumer Reports, sug-
gests trying these:
SAVE ONLINE
-- CouponNetwork.com.
This site offers two ways to
save. First, print manufac-
turer coupons that you can
tote to the grocery store. Then
receive YourBucks vouchers
when you purchase featured
items, which can be spent
like cash on future purchas-
es. Youll also get additional
exclusive coupons at check-
out.
-- CouponPal.com. Not
finding great deals? Head
here for online codes that
you probably wont find any-
where else. CouponPal.com
partners with thousands of
sites to give you exclusive
savings. And you dont need
to sign up or give your con-
tact information.
-- CouponsForChange.
org. This site is a project
of Coupons.com. For every
three coupons that are printed
and redeemed, the compa-
ny provides one free meal
to a child living in poverty
via Feeding America. There
were almost 300 coupons on
ShopSmarts last visit, some
very substantial, including
one from DiGiorno (buy two
pizzas, get one free).
-- Reclip.It. This site is
like Pinterest for savings,
making easy work of organiz-
ing, saving and sharing your
favorite coupons. Follow
your friends and favorite
bloggers to see (and use) their
clips. The displayed weekly
sales circulars link deals with
printable and online coupons.
-- ZenDeals.com. Its a sce-
nario that trips up even the sav-
viest online shopper: You enter
a promo code at checkout only
to have it rejected. This site
aims to make that annoyance a
distant memory. Search what it
says is the deepest inventory of
verified codes on the Internet;
the site guarantees every one
will work.
SAVE ON THE GO
-- Entertainment
Membership Coupons (enter-
tainment.com). Yep, its that
thick Entertainment Book
gone mobile. And the app
does the book one better: It
uses your location (or any
address) to find nearby spots
offering deals. ShopSmart
found thousands, including
two-for-one museum passes
and 20 percent off at a spa.
One bummer: Some compa-
nies require coupon printouts.
Works on Android, Apple
and BlackBerry. (Its free
to download but requires a
$30/year membership fee to
redeem deals.)
-- Mobile coupons by
Shopular (shopularapp.com).
This app uses geo-fencing,
which means it serves up
special coupons when youre
close to your favorite stores.
So theres no more frantically
searching your email account
for codes as you approach
the register. Stores include
Banana Republic and Bath
& Body Works. Works on
Android and Apple.
-- Roximity (roxim-
ity.com). This new app alerts
you to coupons in your area,
including those for restau-
rants, stores and auto-repair
shops. Valpak offers are
among the deals. You can
specify the types of coupons
you want to receive and how
frequently. Works on Apple.
-- Ibotta (ibotta.com). This
app turns your phone into
a focus group of one: Take
polls, watch videos and read
up on products you use. After
you shop, take a photo of your
receipt. The company claims
you can earn $20 or more for
every grocery shopping trip.
The money is deposited into
your linked PayPal account,
or you can donate it to a
school. The app works at doz-
ens of stores, including Giant
Eagle, Kroger, Safeway and
Wal-Mart. Works on Android
and Apple.
-- SnipSnap (snipsnap.it).
Leave your stack of store
coupons at home! This app
turns paper coupons into digi-
tal ones. Just take a photo,
and youre good to go. It
alerts you when deals are
about to expire and makes it
easy to share the wealth with
friends (and use their cou-
pons, too). So far, ShopSmart
has found that its best for
store coupons ($5 off a $35
apparel or accessories pur-
chase at Target, anyone?). It
doesnt yet support manufac-
turer coupons or supermar-
ket redemption. Works on
Android and Apple.

Funeral home encourages families
to Have the Talk of a Lifetime
People talk about many things with
their loved ones: from day-to-day
details to big events. Sharing stories
with those who matter most isnt just
important today; it will be especially sig-
nificant when its time to commemorate
a life. Strayer Funeral Home is proud to
announce its participation in Have the
Talk of a Lifetime
SM
, a national effort
to encourage families to have conversa-
tions about life and what matters most.
These discussions can help families make
important decisions about how they wish
to remember and honor the lives of their
loved ones.
Through meaningful memorialization
that is, taking time to reflect on the
unique life of a loved one and remember
the difference they made families and
friends take an important step in the jour-
ney toward healing after death.
Individuals and their families have
more options than even before for memo-
rializing their loved one at the end of life.
From simple to very elaborate, there are
a variety of ways a family can honor their
loved one in a personal and meaningful
way.
Memorialization is so much more
than it used to be, Brian Strayer of
Strayer Funeral Home said. It can reflect
a persons life story their values, inter-
ests and experiences and be transforma-
tive, healing and comforting. Meaningful
memorialization starts when loved ones
talk about what matters most: memories
made, lessons learned and how they hope
to be remembered.
Strayer Funeral Home is pleased to
offer individuals and families in the com-
munity of Delphos a free brochure, Have
the Talk of a Lifetime, that will help them
begin a conversation about life.
Its not easy to talk about death,
said Strayer. I think this brochure will
be particularly helpful because it focuses
on life, rather than the details of a service.
Its life stories family vacations, pieces
of advice, favorite pastimes that will
help you remember those who matter
most and begin to heal after they die.
Visit Strayer Funeral Home to pick
up a free brochure or visit strayerfuner-
alhome.com, to watch a video and down-
load a brochure.
The Have the Talk of a Lifetime cam-
paign is sponsored by the Funeral and
Memorial Information Council.

Milk jugs can be
reused in your home.
You can cut the tops
off (keeping the
handle intact) and fill
the remainder with
crayons, pencils,
markers or small
toys such as Legos.
Or cut a hole into
the side of a jug and
use it to hold plastic
grocery bags or dryer
lint. You can make
a sandwich caddy
out of a milk jug,
too. For directions,
visit makezine.

s andwi ch- caddy-
from-a-milk-jug.
The first reader
shares some more
ideas:
Reuse plastic jugs:
I cut off the bottom
of one jug to make
a scoop for the dog
food. I cut off the top
to create disposable
buckets or pans for
messy jobs. If you
create plant cuttings,
you can start them in
a cut-up plastic jug.
If you garden, you
can cut the opaque
jugs into sections
and make plant
markers. -- Cookie,
Mississippi
Fels-Naptha: I
read that it can be
used to deter wasps,
hornets and yellow
jackets from building
nests. The research
indicated that
birdhouse builders
often spray the inside
of the birdhouse to
deter those stinging
pests. I made a
solution of Fels-
Naptha soap melted
into warm water to
spray under my pool
decking seven years
ago and have not had
a single hornet, wasp
or yellow jacket nest
until this year. I will
have to make up a
new batch and spray
again. -- Debbie,
email
Budget craft
supplies: I used to
live in a town where a
charity offered a craft
s uppl y- r ecycl i ng
center. It was only
open once a month,
but you could get all
sorts of paper, paint
and other supplies
there.
Ask your local
newspaper if they
have roll ends of
newsprint. If they
print their newspaper
in-house (many
dont anymore),
they are often more
than willing to let
you have the end
of the roll of paper
-- which still has
TONS of paper on
it. This paper makes
great drop cloths and
table covers. I used
my last roll end as
packing paper for our
big move, and I still
didnt use it up.
There are entire
books at the library
on making craft
projects from paper
plates.
Use styrofoam
egg cartons for paint
trays.
All sorts of
m i s c e l l a n e o u s
household supplies
make great tools
for printing and
clay crafting (with
homemade clay,
of course) -- forks,
spoons, spatulas,
etc. Try having the
kids make their
own beads with salt
clay. I love pipe-
cleaner crafts. And
of course, summer is
the best time to start
saving used popsicle
sticks. -- Cookie,
Mississippi
Two- i ngr edi ent
cookies: I love these
really easy cookies.
Just mix together
2 mashed bananas
and 1 cup of quick
oatmeal, then bake
at 350 degrees F for
15 minutes. Makes 2
dozen cookies. You
can toss in a few
raisins, chocolate
chips or nuts, too. --

from others. Travel is encouraged, along
with making personal changes that
will improve important relationships.
Someone from your past will offer
helpful information.

-- Look for adventure and indulge in
activities that challenge and excite you.
Altering where or how you live will lift
your spirits and ensure that you bypass
unwanted emotional encounters.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --
Extra time put in at work will boost your
reputation and can lead to advancement.
An interesting position that is posted
will tempt you to send your resume.
Romance will bring positive results.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --

Unpredictable situations will cause
confusion. Expect to be confronted by

busy, engage in joint ventures and share
your ideas and solutions. Love is in the

Dear Annie: I recently
became engaged to my
boyfriend of four years.
Immediately after he
proposed, I phoned my
parents, who always gave the
impression that they liked
my boyfriend and enjoyed
spending time with him. I
thought theyd be happy
for us. I was very
wrong.
My mom was
really angry and
said that I am way
too young to be
getting married.
Annie, Im in
graduate school.
My dad said that
my boyfriend
isnt good
enough and that I
should seriously
reconsider this
guy. (This guy! Like he
doesnt have a name.)
I am still in school, so
perhaps this is their way of
expressing their worry that
if I get married I wont finish
my graduate program, but
regardless, Im really hurt
by their reaction. Ive tried
reassuring them, but they
keep brushing me aside,
insisting Im marrying too
young and to the wrong man.
I cannot figure out their
problem. We are in our late
20s, which doesnt strike me as
too young. And if they truly
believe my fiance isnt the
right person, why didnt they
say so in the intervening four
years? Why wont they give
me any concrete reasons for
their objections? Sometimes
I think what theyre really
objecting to is the presence of
another person in our small,
close-knit family. But it
seems selfish of them to place
the current family dynamic
over my future marriage and
happiness. Kids grow up.
They get married.
I never in my wildest
nightmares thought my
engagement would be such
a source of anger. What do
you think about this? Sad
Bride-To-Be
Dear Sad: It does seem as
though your parents suddenly
realized that you are leaving
the nest and they are panic
stricken. Since they refuse
to discuss their reasons with
you, please ask a trusted
friend or family member
to intercede on your behalf
and try to ascertain whether
their objections have any
justification. But ultimately,
the decision about marriage
belongs to you. We hope your
parents will welcome your
groom into the family instead
of pushing you both away.
Dear Annie: I
am 84 and have
five children, 10
grandchildren
and 18 great-
grandchildren. I
am twice widowed,
and one of my
boyfriends also
died.
I now have a new
boyfriend. He is
upset with two of
my daughters-in-
law and a son-in-
law because when they see
me they say, Hello, Mother-
in-Law! He says they are
being disrespectful for not
using my name. He says they
should call me Grandma or
Mom or my given name.
This has caused a problem
between us. What do you
think? J.G.
Dear J.G.: Your boyfriend
has no business issuing orders
about how your children or
their spouses address you.
If it doesnt bother you, it
shouldnt bother him. He
sounds bossy and controlling.
Tell him to back off.
Dear Annie: Phone Me,
the 28-year-old who did not
find out about her high school
reunion because she isnt
on social media, needs to be
proactive. Dont blame others
because you didnt seek out
the information. If you know
it is the 10th year of your
graduation, contact the school
or ex-classmates and find out
whether anything is planned.
I have been on every reunion
committee since I graduated
in 1979. We do the best we can
to contact people. However,
it gets expensive sending out
invitations by regular mail.
Word of mouth and seeking
out the information is key.
So perhaps in anticipation of
the next reunion, Phone Me
could make the effort to find
out instead of being left out.

Answers to Mondays questions:
Gypsies probably originated in India. Romany, the Gypsy language, is Indic; but it is
not known when or why the Gypsies left India. Living as aliens in every country, they
reached Persia by A.D. 1000 and northwest Europe by the 15th and 16th century.
There are no fixed rules on who can be buried in Westminster Abbey. The decision rests

Todays joke:
While walking down the street one day, a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and
dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
Welcome to heaven, St. Peter said. Before you settle in, it seems there is a prob-
lem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so were not sure what
to do with you.
No problem, just let me in, the man said.
Well, Id like to, but I have orders from higher up. What well do is have you spend
one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity, St.
Peter said.
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to
hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the
distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politi-
cians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run
to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting
rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on
lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly &
nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good
time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
St. Peter is waiting for him. Now its time to visit heaven.
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from
cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he
realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
Well, then, youve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your
eternity, St. Peter said.
The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: Well, I would never have said
it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now
the doors of the elevator open and hes in the middle of a barren land covered with waste
and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting
it in bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm
around his shoulder.
I dont understand, stammered the senator. Yesterday I was here and there was
a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and
danced and had a great time. Now theres just a wasteland full of garbage and my
friends look miserable. What happened?
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, Yesterday we were campaigning.Today
you voted.
Insurance markets open to
surge of new customers
CHICAGO (AP) Americans got their
first chance Tuesday to shop for health insur-
ance using the online marketplaces that are
at the heart of President Barack Obamas
health care overhaul, but government websites
designed to sell the policies struggled to handle
the traffic, with many frustrated users reporting
trouble setting up accounts.
State and federal agencies were working to
fix the sites, which represent the biggest expan-
sion in coverage in nearly 50 years. There
should be time to make improvements. The
open-enrollment period lasts for six months.
Administration officials said they were
pleased with the strong consumer interest. At
least 2.8 million people had visited the health-
care.gov website as of Tuesday afternoon,
said Medicare administrator Marilyn Tavenner,
whose office is overseeing the rollout of the
Affordable Care Act. The website had seven
times the number of simultaneous users ever
recorded on the medicare.gov site.
But at most only a handful of people had
been able to successfully enroll online through
the federal website in that time period, accord-
ing to two industry officials with knowledge of
the situation. The officials spoke on condition
of anonymity because they were not authorized
to speak about the issue publicly. The number
of those enrolled is expected grow as techni-
cians tackle and resolve glitches.
In Obamas home state, dozens of people
who came to a Champaign, Ill., public health
office to sign up for coverage found computer
screens around the room flashing an error mes-
sage: System is unavailable.
Kimberly Shockley logging in from
Houston, Texas and Mike Weaver, who lives
in rural southern Illinois, ran into the same glitch
as many others: They could not get past the
security questions while trying to set up their
personal accounts through healthcare.gov.
Im frustrated, very frustrated, said
Shockley, a self-employed CPA. She spent
more than an hour trying to get the security
questions to work without success. When she
clicked on a drop-down menu of suggested
security questions, none appeared. She then
tried to create her own questions, but that
didnt work either.
Weaver, a self-employed photographer, said
he also ran into problems with the drop-down
menus. And when they started working, he still
wasnt able to set up his account.
The first day of something that you know
is going to have a lot of bugs, its not that frus-
trating, he said. If it was the last day to sign
up then Id be terribly frustrated.
Shockley has health insurance, but is look-
ing for a better plan. Weaver is uninsured.
State-operated sites also experienced trouble.
Minnesota got its site running after a delay
of several hours. Rhode Islands site recovered
after a temporary crash. A spokesman for
the New York Department of Health blamed
difficulties on the 2 million visits to the web-
site in the first 90 minutes after its launch.
Washington states marketplace used Twitter to
thank users for their patience.
Exchange officials in Colorado said their
website would not be fully functional for the
first month, although consumers will be able
to get help applying for government subsidies
during that time. Hawaiis marketplace wasnt
allowing people to compare plans and prices.
Connecticut seemed to be a bright spot,
although some users reported some snags.
Access Health CT sent out a tweet shortly
before noon Tuesday, confirming the market-
place logged 10,000 visitors in the first three
hours of operation and 22 enrollments. A fami-
ly of three was the first to sign up for coverage.
California, home to 15 percent of the
nations uninsured, reported delays online and

Mall attack to cost Kenya $200 million in tourism
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP)
When Ohio resident Bill
Haynes heard about the
shooting at Westgate Mall by
Islamic extremist gunmen last
month, he considered can-
celing his upcoming 17-day
safari to Kenya and Tanzania.
You cant help but be
concerned, said Haynes, 67.
Heres a place were going to
be in about five days and there
are some terrorists shooting
the place up. That would cause
anybody to give some pause.
Acting on advice from
a friend in Nairobi, Haynes
went through with his trip
except for a stop at Lamu,
a coastal city near Somalia
where a French woman was
kidnapped in 2011.
The risk to tourism was one
of the first concerns officials
expressed after the attack that
left at least 67 dead including
18 foreigners. Tourism gener-
ates 14 percent of Kenyas
GDP and employs 12 percent
of its workforce, according to
Moodys Investment Services
and the World Travel and
Tourism Council.
Moodys predicts the attack
will cost Kenyas economy
$200 million to $250 million
in lost tourism revenue, esti-
mating it will slow growth of
Kenyas GDP by 0.5 percent.
Kenyas 2012 GDP was $41
billion.
Evidence would seem to
indicate that 2013 could well
be a very difficult year for
the local tourism industry,
according to a report released
Tuesday by Business Monitor
International, which revised
its 2013 outlook for Kenyas
tourism growth from 3 percent
down to 1.5 percent.

Utilities, solar companies in fight over rates
RAY HENRY
Associated Press
ATLANTA Sunlight is free, but if you
use it to make electricity your power com-
pany wants you to pay.
Utilities in many states say solar-friendly
rate plans, conceived to promote alternative
energy sources, are too generous and allow
solar customers to avoid paying for the grid
even though they use it.
Some power companies are proposing an
extra fee for solar customers. Others are try-
ing to roll back or block programs that allow
those customers to trade the solar power they
generate during sunny days for power they
need from the grid during other times.
As rooftop solar expands from a niche
product to a mainstream way to save money
on power bills, utilities are afraid they will
lose so many customers and revenue
that they wont be able to afford to build and
maintain the grid.
We want to make sure that as we change
the way our system works that all of that is
good for all customers, said Greg Roberts,
vice president of pricing and planning at
Southern Co. subsidiary Georgia Power. The
utility is proposing additional fees for renew-
able energy users, including one that would
add up to about $22 per month for typical
home solar systems.
Solar installers say the utility industry is
trying to hold onto customers and protect
profits as U.S. homes and businesses
become more efficient and generate their own
electricity. Rooftop solar systems would not
be economical with some of the new fees or
rate changes being pushed by utilities.
They are trying to punish people for buy-
ing less electricity, says Bryan Miller, vice
president for public policy at Sunrun, a solar
financing company. They are trying to kill
solar.
Mike Easterwood, who paid about
$320,000 to install nearly 400 solar panels on
top of his self-storage business near Atlanta,
says the new charges are designed to discour-
age people from installing new systems if
they go into effect next year as proposed.
I think it scares the heck out of (utilities),
quite frankly, Easterwood says. They are a
monopoly, and so they operate in monopolis-
tic fashion.
In 2008, three years after
dismantling of the building
began, the depot reappeared
in the countryside outside
of Fort Jennings and has
subsequently been a touring
spot for nearly 1,000 visitors
since it was reconstructed.
The depot is now the home
of the Putnam Association
of Railfans, a local Putnam
County organization com-
mitted to preserving railroad
history and promoting the
hobby of model railroading.
I have been through
many buildings like this
across the country and I am
proud to say that this depot
is one of the finest examples
of restored rural railroad
architecture that you will see
in any exhibit, Dr. Klir, vice
president of the group, said.
With the help of the
Putnam Association of
Railfans, displays have
continued to be added to
the depot exhibit. Current
projects include the resto-
ration of a 1920s wooden
caboose and signal shed that
were moved to the prop-
erty. A model train display
in the basement of the depot
continues to grow and now
operates seven trains simul-
taneously with interactive
displays for little visitors to
operate. A handcar can be
ridden on the 200 feet of
full size track that span the
exhibit grounds; for the last
four years, the group has
been constructing a 1/3-scale
riding train that travels on a
half mile of track.
Theres something for
everyone here and all our
attendees learn a little about
history whether they want to
or not. We make it that fun!
Klir joked.
The Fort Jennings Depot
Exhibit is located at 15153
on Rd. 22-K in Cloverdale.
The Oct. 12 open house will
be held from 1-4 p.m.
Packs letter went on to say Meyer was
greatly instrumental in her obtaining her
paramedic certification, spending an endless
amount of time studying with me and drilling
medication flash cars, answering phone calls
and texts and running through practice sce-
narios during my paramedic class.
Meyer holds many certifications and licen-
sures above paramedic and firefighter. He is
also trained as a HAZMAT technician and for
fast water rescue, confined space and trench
rescue, rope rescue and farm accident rescue
and is on the Ohio Inter-agency Fire Crew,
Red Card Certified Type 1 and 2 wild land
firefighter.
He was named the City of Sidney
Firefighter of the year in 2009 and has an
EMS and Fire Associate Degree.
Cory does not demand respect, he earns
it. Many of the lessons learned under super-
vision are learned the hard way sink-
or-swim style but these are lessons that
later serve the most valuable and most well-
remembers. Cory is an extraordinary role
model both in his personal and profes-
sional life; the most qualified mentor anyone
could wish for , Pack concluded.
Ben Becker is the Law Enforcement
Officer of the Year. Becker was recently
promoted to sergeant after serving four years
on the West Central Ohio Crime Task Force
as a narcotics investigator. He is responsible
for the arrests of 57 people on more than 160
felony drug-related charges from 2010-13.
His nomination from Delphos Police Chief
Kyle Fittro highlighted Beckers involve-
ment in reducing drug trafficking and use in
Delphos through his assignment to the West
Central Ohio Crime Task Force.
These types of drug cases are incred-
ibly time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Becker made many personal sacrifices in
order to accomplish these tasks. He con-
tinuously strives to keep the pressure on indi-
viduals who elect to sell drugs in the City of
Delphos, Fittro wrote.
Becker has also been the Delphos Police
Officer of the Year twice. Chief Fittro wrote
that Beckers contribution of the arrests has
greatly benefited Delphos.
If it were not Beckers unrelenting efforts
over the past few year, Delphos would be a
different city for the worse. Becker per-
sonifies what it means to engage in proactive
policing for the betterment of the community
he serves, Fittro concluded.
No shutdown end; Dems, GOP trade blame
By DAVID ESPO
and DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON First slowed,
then stalled by political gridlock, the vast
machinery of government clanged into
partial shutdown mode on Tuesday and
President Barack Obama warned the
longer it goes the more families will
be hurt.
Republicans said it was his fault,
not theirs, and embarked on a strategy
opposed by Democrats of voting
on bills to reopen individual agencies or
programs.
Ominously, there were suggestions
from leaders in both parties that the shut-
down, heading for its second day, could
last for weeks and grow to encompass
a possible default by the Treasury if
Congress fails to raise the nations debt
ceiling. The two issues are now all
together, said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
Speaking at the White House, the
president accused Republicans of caus-
ing the first partial closure in 17 years as
part of a non-stop ideological crusade
to wipe out his signature health care law.
House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, gave as good as he got. The
president isnt telling the whole story,
he said in an opinion article posted on
the USA Today website. The fact is that
Washington Democrats have slammed
the door on reopening the government
by refusing to engage in bipartisan talks.
Both houses of Congress met in a
Capitol closed to regular public tours,
part of the impact of a partial shutdown
that sent ripples of disruption outward
from museums and memorials in
Washington to Yellowstone and other
national parks and to tax auditors and
federal offices serving Americans coast
to coast.
Officials said roughly 800,000 fed-
eral employees would be affected by
the shutdown after a half-day on the job
Tuesday to fill out time cards, put new
messages on their voice mail and similar
chores.
Among those workers were some at
the National Institute of Healths famed
hospital of last resort, where officials
said no new patients would be admitted
for the duration of the shutdown. Dr.
Francis Collins, agency director, esti-
mated that each week the shutdown lasts
will force the facility to turn away about
200 patients, 30 of them children, who
want to enroll in studies of experimental
treatments. Patients already at the hospi-
tal are permitted to stay.
Late Tuesday, House Republicans
sought swift passage of legislation aimed
at reopening small slices of the fed-
eral establishment. The bills covered the
Department of Veterans Affairs, the Park
Service and a portion of the Washington,
D.C., government funded with local tax
revenue.
Democrats generally opposed all
three, saying Republicans shouldnt be
permitted to choose which agencies
remain open and which stay shut. As a
result, all fell well short of the two-thirds
majority needed for passage.
The White House also issued veto
threats against the bills, drawing a jab
from Michael Steel, a spokesman for
Boehner. Obama cant continue to
complain about the impact of the gov-
ernment shutdown on veterans, visitors
at National Parks, and D.C. while veto-
ing bills to help them, he said.
Several House Democrats used the
occasion to seek a vote on a stand-
alone spending bill, a measure that
Rep. Elizabeth Esty of Connecticut said
would end the tea party shutdown.
The requests were ruled out of order.
Republican aides said all three bills
that were sidetracked could be brought
up again on today under rules requiring
a mere majority to pass. They said the
House might also vote on a measure
to reopen the hospital at the NIH, after
several Democrats cited the impact on
patients.
Ironically, a major expansion of
the health care law the very event
Republicans had hoped to prevent
was unaffected as consumers flocked for
the first time Tuesday to websites to shop
for coverage sold by private companies.
The talk of joining the current fight
the Republicans are trying to side-
track the health care law by holding up
funding for the fiscal year that began
at midnight Monday to a dispute
involving the national debt limit sug-
gested the shutdown could go on for
some time.
The administration says the ceil-
ing must be raised by mid-month, and
Republicans have long vowed to seek
cuts in spending at the same time, a con-
dition Obama has rejected.
In Washington, some Republicans
conceded privately they might bear the
brunt of any public anger over the shut-
down and seemed resigned to an
eventual surrender in their latest bruising
struggle with Obama.
Democrats have all the leverage
and weve got none, said Sen. Saxby
Chambliss of Georgia.
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said sar-
donically his party was following a Ted
Cruz-lemmings strategy a reference
to the senator who is a prime proponent
of action against the health care overhaul
and Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia said
it was time to pass legislation reopening
the government without any health care
impediments. The shutdown is hurting
my district including the military and
the hard-working men and women who
have been furloughed due to the defense
sequester, he said.
But that was far from the majority
view among House Republicans, where
tea party-aligned lawmakers prevailed
more than a week ago on a reluctant
leadership to link federal funding legisla-
tion to Obamacare. In fact, some con-
servatives fretted the GOP had already
given in too much.
Gone is the Republican demand for
a full defunding of the health care law
as the price for essential federal funding.
Gone, too, are the demands for a one-
year delay in the law, a permanent repeal
of a medical device tax and a provision
making it harder for women to obtain
contraceptive coverage.
In place of those items, Republicans
now seek a one-year-delay in the
requirement for individuals to purchase
insurance, and they want a separate pro-
vision that would dramatically raise the
cost of health care for the president, vice
president, members of Congress and
thousands of aides.
