Chicago students returning to class
By TAMMY WEBBER
and SOPHIA TAREEN
The Associated Press
CHICAGO Students
prepared to return to class
today after Chicago teachers
voted to suspend their first
strike in a quarter century,
shutting 350,000 children
out of school, disrupting the
daily routines of thousands
of families and making the
citys schoolyards a flash-
point for union rights and
public school reforms across
the country.
Union delegates voted
overwhelmingly Tuesday
night to suspend the walk-
out after discussing a pro-
posed contract settlement
with the nations third larg-
est school district. They said
the contract wasnt perfect
but included enough conces-
sions including on new
teacher evaluations, recall
rights for laid-off teachers
and classroom conditions
to go back to work while they
prepare to put it to a vote by
more than 26,000 teachers
and support staff in coming
weeks.
I miss the kids, said
Symantha Lancaster, a del-
egate who works in career
services, based at an elemen-
tary school. I know were
fighting for a cause (but) I
want to go back.
Parents say they are
relieved the strike was over
and are looking forward to
finding teachers behind desks
instead of on the picket lines
outside schools. It meant the
end of hassles trying to find
alternative activities for their
children, or dropping them at
one of more than 140 schools
the district kept open for sev-
eral hours a day so they could
be safe and eat breakfast and
lunch.
I am elated. I couldnt be
happier, said Erica Weiss,
who had to leave work in the
middle of the day to pick up
her 6-year-old daughter. I
have no one else to watch
her. ... I cant even imagine
the people who could have
possibly even lost their jobs
over having to stay home
with their kids because they
have no alternate care. It just
put everyone in a pickle.
Wilonda Cannon, a sin-
gle mother raising her four
children in North Lawndale,
a West Side neighborhood
beset by gang shootings
and poverty, said she was
relieved that her two young-
est kids would be returning to
class after spending the last
seven school days with their
grandfather.
She said she hoped the
agreement was the begin-
ning of something new for
Chicagos public school sys-
tem, which has long struggled
with high drop-out rates and
low test scores. It will take
months if not years before
parents and teachers will see
whether the changes and con-
tract provisions pay off for
students.
I dont know all the ins
and outs (of the contract
negotiations) ... but it does
seem as though its a step in
the right direction, Cannon
said.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel
who filed a lawsuit this week
to try to force teachers back to
work called the settlement
an honest compromise.
Union leaders pointed to
concessions by the city on
how closely teacher evalu-
ations will be tied to stu-
dent test scores and to better
opportunities for teachers to
retain their jobs if schools are
closed by budget cuts.
We said that we couldnt
solve all the problems of the
world with one contract, and
it was time to end the strike,
said Chicago Teachers Union
President Karen Lewis.
With an average salary
of $76,000, Chicago teach-
ers are already among the
highest-paid in the nation.
The districts final proposal
included an average 7 percent

Elida Schools gaining aid
from Huffman to promote
income tax levy
BY ALEX WOODRING
awoodring@delphosherald.com
ELIDA Elida School
District Treasure Joel Parkers
report at Tuesdays board
meeting focused on the need
for the schools proposed levy.
The levy, which calls for a
5-year, 0.75-percent earned-
income tax, will be on the bal-
lot Nov. 6.
We are an incredibly effi-
cient and lean school district,
said Parker. We have our bud-
gets down but with the invento-
ry tax gone, it impacts all areas.
With that tax gone we lose
$1,240,610. Couple that with
state aid cuts and our funding
cuts are significant.
Parker also mentioned how
the school is campaigning to
get the word out and using
State Representative Matt
Huffman as an advisor.
The board learned Aric
Thompson of Elida High School
has been selected to receive
the Honda-OSU Partnership
in Math Medal Award for the
class of 2013.
His selection is based on his
academic performance through
the end of his junior year, said
Student Achievement Liaison
Brad Settlage. In addition
to the Math Medal, Aric will
receive a $100 gift card.
Settlage was also happy to
report that senior Alex Lugibihl
was selected to be a member
of the 2013 All-State Honors
Choir. Lugibihl is the only stu-
dent in Allen County to make it
to State Honors Choir.
The board also approved the
payment of $19.36/hour for the
2012-13 school and a maximum
of 125 hours per school year to
Dennis Pohlman. Pohlman is
the advisor to the Elida Young
Farmers Organization. The
extra money is for extended
school year projects for the
school year.
Other salary changes includ-
ed increases for Lori Burtch,
Brady Overholt and Michelle
Steinke, pending official tran-
scripts, to qualify for advance-
ment on the salary schedule
effective this school year.
The board proclaimed that
the week of Oct. 15-19 be
National School Lunch Week.
The week will focus on good
nutrition education and bring-
ing awareness to parents and
students nutrition habits.
The board approved a vari-
ety of sales projects for multiple
organizations. The organizations
included in the approval were
Reflector II (yearbook staff),
Elida High School Student
Council and Elida High School
class of 2015. The sales proj-
ects will help with the groups
funding.
In other business, the
board:
Approved the Elida
Autumn Classic Soccer
Tournament from 8 a.m. to
6 p.m. on Oct. 21 to use
the Elida Middle School and
Elida Elementary soccer
fields.
Approved entering an
agreement with the North
Central Ohio Educational
Service Center. The agreement
will be for audiological ser-
vices as it pertains to students
with hearing impairments. The
agreement will be for the 2013
fiscal year as needed; and
Approved 27 substitute
teachers.

City seeking grant for Second Street
BY NANCY SPENCER
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Safety
Service Director Greg
Berquist was given permis-
sion to apply for an Ohio
Public Works Grant during
a short Delphos City Council
meeting on Monday.
The grant is for capi-
tal improvements to East
Second Street from Douglas
Street to Main Street. The
estimated cost of the proj-
ect is $179,000 with the
citys share, if the grant is
received, at $35,800. The
grant will not include engi-
neering fees.
The resolution was passed
on emergency measure due
to a filing deadline of Sept.
30.
Council also passed on
third reading the tax levy
rates approved by the Budget
Commission and county audi-
tors estimated tax rates. The
city has 2.70 mills inside the
10-mill limit and 4.05 mills
outside the 10-mill limit.
Berquist also noted an
independent investigation
by the Auglaize County
Sheriffs Office into allega-
tions by local businesswoman
and Up to the Challenge rep-
resentative Sherri Fetzer the
city stole property belonging
to her organization has con-
cluded. The report from Van
Wert County Prosecuting
Attorney Charles Kennedy
III stated: I have now com-
pleted my review of the
report by Detective Jerry
Sawmiller of the Auglaize
County Sheriffs Office and
based on that review, I can
tell you that this matter is not
criminal in nature. In short,
there is nothing in the report
that even merits presentation
to a grand jury.
Berquist said he felt the
matter had been put to rest.
Jennings pushes sanitary
sewer project bids back
BY NANCY SPENCER
FORT JENNING
The bidding process for an
upcoming sanitary sewer
project at Fort Jennings Park
has been pushed back. Mayor
Jim Smith hopes council will
be able to award the bid at the
Oct. 16 meeting. According
to Smith, the bids will be
forwarded to Poggemeyer
Design Group for review
prior to the vote.
We arent in a hurry to get
this project started, Smith said.
I think they prefer to do these
kinds of projects in the winter
when the ground is harder and
its easier to dig. According to
the grant rules, the project must
be completed by July 1. Thats
the only stipulation and I dont
think there will be a problem
with that.
The grant was approved
through the Ohio Public Works
Commission State Capital
Improvement program.
The projects estimated cost
is $42,525 with the grant totaling
$24,428. It is a 50-50 match.
A sanitary sewer line will
be installed from Second
Street north of Fort Jennings
State Bank to and under the
Auglaize River and to the
Fort Jennings Park Board rec-
reation building at the west
entrance of the park. The new
line will make it possible to
install new restrooms at the
park.
Smith will also apply for
an Issue 1 grant for improve-
ments to Second Street. The
estimated cost of the project
is $43,000. The grant is a
50/50 match.
This project is smaller so
Im hoping we might be able
to get funds again, Smith
said. Well apply for it and
find out in a couple months if
we get and if we do, we can
start on that after July 1.
Smith told council he is
still waiting for the final claim
information from the June 29
storm and said when he had
that, he will apply to FEMA
for any reimbursement the
village is entitled to.

NEERGAARD
WASHINGTON Jerry
Wiseman notices its harder
to turn and check his cars
blind spots at age 69 than it
was at 50. So the Illinois man
and his wife took a refresher
driving course, hunting tips
to stay safe behind the wheel
for many more years a
good idea considering their
state has arguably the nations
toughest older-driver laws.
More older drivers are on
the road than ever before, and
an Associated Press review
found they face a hodgepodge
of state licensing rules that
reflect scientific uncertainty
and public angst over a grow-
ing question: How can we
tell if its time to give up the
keys?
Thirty states plus the
District of Columbia have
some sort of older-age require-
ment for drivers licenses,
ranging from more vision test-
ing to making seniors renew
their licenses more frequently
than younger people. At what
age? Thats literally all over
the map. Maryland starts eye
exams at 40. Shorter license
renewals kick in anywhere
from age 59 in Georgia to 85
in Texas.
The issue attracted new
attention when a 100-year-old
driver backed over a group of
schoolchildren in Los Angeles
late last month. Thats a rarity,
but with an imminent surge
in senior drivers, the federal
government is proposing that
all states take steps to address
what the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
calls the real and growing
problem of older driver safe-
ty.
Heres the conundrum:
Birthdays dont kill. Health
conditions do, said Joseph
Coughlin, head of the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technologys AgeLab, which
develops technologies to help
older people stay active.
Healthy older drivers
arent necessarily less safe
than younger ones, Coughlin
points out. But many older
people have health issues
that can impair driving, from
arthritis to dementia, from
slower reflexes to the use of
multiple medications. Theres
no easy screening tool that
licensing authorities can use
to spot people with subtle
health risks. So some states
use birthdays as a proxy for
more scrutiny instead.
Senior driving is a more
complicated issue than
headline-grabbing tragedies
might suggest. Older driv-
ers dont crash as often as
younger ones. But they also
drive less. About 60 per-
cent of seniors voluntarily
cut back, avoiding nighttime
driving or interstates or bad
weather, said David Eby of
the University of Michigans
Center for Advancing Safe
Transportation throughout
the Lifespan.
Measure by miles driven,
however, and the crash rate of
older drivers begins to climb
in the 70s, with a sharper
jump at age 80, according
to the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety. Only teens
and 20-somethings do worse.
That rising risk reflects the
challenge for families as they
try to help older loved ones
stay safe but still get around
for as long as possible, which
itself is important for health.
The good news: Fatal
crashes involving seniors
have dropped over the past
decade, perhaps because cars
and roads are safer or theyre
staying a bit healthier, said
the Insurance Institutes Anne
McCartt.
Yet the oldest drivers, those
85 and up, still have the high-
est rate of deadly crashes per
mile, even more than teens.
More often than not, theyre
the victims, largely because
theyre too frail to survive
their injuries.
And seniors are about to
transform the nations road-
ways. Today, nearly 34 mil-
lion drivers are 65 or older.
By 2030, federal estimates
show there will be about 57
million making up about
a quarter of all licensed driv-
ers. The baby boomers in par-
ticular are expected to hang
onto their licenses longer, and
drive more miles, than previ-
ous generations.
Specialists say more seniors
need to be planning ahead like
Jerry Wiseman and his wife
Sandy.
Absolutely we want to be
as good drivers as we can
possibly be for as long as
we can, said Wiseman, of
Schaumburg, Ill.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
Space shuttle Endeavour
embarked on its new life as
a museum piece Wednesday,
leaving behind its NASA
home and heading west on the
last ferry flight of its kind.
Bolted to the top of a
jumbo jet, NASAs young-
est shuttle departed Kennedy
Space Center at sunrise on
the first leg of its flight to
California.
Hundreds of people
astronauts, space center
workers, tourists and journal-
ists gathered at the runway
to bid Endeavour farewell
following two days of rain
delays. Crowds also lined the
nearby beaches as the shuttle
swooped in and out of low
clouds in one final show.
Onlookers waved, saluted,
blew kisses and cheered as
Endeavour made one last
swoop over its old landing
strip, and then aimed for the
Gulf of Mexico.
You know what? I am
feeling a tremendous amount
of pride, said astronaut
Kay Hire, who flew aboard
Endeavour two years ago.
Endeavour will make
it as far as Houston on
Wednesday. Thats home to
Mission Control and all the
astronauts. Along the way,
low flyovers were planned
over Stennis Space Center in
Mississippi and the Michoud
Assembly Facility in New
Orleans, where external fuel
tanks were built during the
30-year shuttle program.
The shuttle is due to arrive
at Los Angeles International
Airport on Friday. In mid-
October, it will be transport-
ed down city streets to the
California Science Center.
If Endeavour couldnt
remain anchored at the
International Space Station,
its main destination in recent
years, then the science center
is an ideal final stop, said
astronaut Gregory Chamitoff.
He will be on hand for
Endeavours arrival in Los
Angeles.
Chamitoff grew up in
California and flew to the
space station in spring 2011
on Endeavours final trip to
orbit.
I guess I didnt really
know how I would feel until
I woke up, and I think this is
more exciting than it is sad
for me, he said.
This is the last flight for
a space shuttle. Atlantis will
remain at Kennedy for dis-
play. Discovery is already at
the Smithsonian Institution,
parked at a hangar in Virginia
since April.
Endeavour the replace-
ment for the destroyed
Challenger shuttle made
its debut in 1992 and flew 25
times in space before retiring.
It logged 123 million miles in
space and circled Earth nearly
4,700 times.
The Putnam County
Sheriffs Office and the Multi-
Area Narcotics (MAN) Unit
have announced 9 more peo-
ple have been charged with
drug offenses.
They are:
Dereck A. Steward, 23

ficking Drugs (Marijuana);
Susan C. Krusinski, 43
of Curtice, 1 count of posses-
sion of cocaine;
Wayne R. Settlemire, 55

of possession of cocaine;
Brian O. Rippetoe, 33 of
Continental, 2 counts of traf-
ficking in drugs (Marijuana);
Jason L. Clapper, 20 of
Lima, 1 count of trafficking
Drugs (Marijuana);
Cory Sherry, 23 of
Defiance, 2 counts of traffick-
ing Drugs (Marijuana) and 1
count of permitting drug abuse
with vehicle specification;
Moriah J. Bockelman,
28 of Continental, 2 counts
of sale of prescription drugs;
and
William Rayle Jr., 50 of
Continental, 1 count of pos-
session of prescription pills.
These charges were
the result of the Controlled
Purchases using an Informant
and Consent searches and
Probation Searches. Other
person are expected to be
charged criminally as a result
of this ongoing investigation
at a later date. All the above
will be issued summons to
appear.

Todays joke:
While getting a checkup, a man tells his doctor that
he thinks his wife is losing her hearing. The doctor says,
You should do a simple test. Stand about 15 feet behind
your wife and say honey? Move 3 feet closer and do
it again. Keep moving 3 feet closer until she finally
responds. Remember how close you were when she
gives you an answer. That will help me know how bad
her hearing loss is.
About a month later the same guy is at the doctor
again and the doctor asks, Well, did you do that experi-
ment with your wifes hearing?
The man says yes.
How close did you get before she answered?
Well, by the time I got about 3 feet away she just
turned around and said For the fifth time... what?
Furniture fres
at playground
blamed on arson
MASSILLON (AP)
Investigators have determined
two pieces of furniture were
intentionally set on fire near
a basketball court and play-
ground at a northeast Ohio
park, damaging equipment
that could cost $80,000 or
more to replace.
Fire officials say someone
set a couch on fire near a bas-
ketball court Sunday evening
in Massillon, about 50 miles
south of Cleveland. Later that
evening, firefighters dealt
with a blaze that apparently
began when someone ignited
another couch or chair at a
nearby playground structure
that included plastic slides.
It wasnt clear where the
furniture originated.
No injuries were reported
from the fires.
Massillon Fire Chief Tom
Burgasser says investigators
believe at least one of the
blazes was started by juve-
niles. He says arson charges
are possible if a suspect is
identified.
A girl was born Sept. 18 to
Vanessa Wallen of Delphos.

raise over three years, with
additional raises for experi-
ence and education.
But the evaluations and
job security measures stirred
the most intense debate. The
union said the evaluation
system relied too heavily on
test scores and did not take
into account outside factors
that affect student perfor-
mance such as poverty, vio-
lence and homelessness.
The union also pushed to
give laid-off teachers first
dibs on open jobs anywhere
in the district. The district
said that could prevent prin-
cipals from hiring the teach-
ers they thought most appro-
priate for the position. The
tentative settlement pro-
posed giving laid-off teach-
ers first shot at schools that
absorbed their former stu-
dents and filling half of dis-
trict openings from a pool of
laid-off teachers.
Susan Hickey, a school
social worker, said she is
eager to learn how the stu-
dents she counsels fared
over the summer.
How are they? Are they
OK? she said. Im glad
to be back for all kinds of
reasons.

56 boxes of
cremated
remains found
in Ohio house
DAYTON (AP) More
than 50 boxes of cremated
human remains have been
found at a house under fore-
closure along with docu-
ments from a funeral home,
police said Tuesday.
The 56 plastic boxes are
used by funeral homes as
temporary containers for
cremated remains, police
Lt. Wendy Stiver said. A
contractor who said he was
hired to remove items from
the house called police
Tuesday after finding the
boxes stacked in a closet,
she said.
Police notified the
Montgomery County coro-
ners office, which collect-
ed the remains. Documents
from the McLin Funeral
Home in Dayton also were
found in the house, Stiver
said.
At this time we are
aware of a previous or ongo-
ing state investigation con-
cerning that funeral home,
Stiver said, adding that the
local investigation might be
turned over to the state.
The coroners office said
the boxes were labeled with
the name of the crematory
and the names and dates of
death of the deceased peo-
ple, the Dayton Daily News
reported.
The coroners office said
the case is a priority but
theres no time frame for it
to finish taking inventory of
the remains and then seek
the next of kin of the dead
people.
Stiver said she couldnt
confirm the name of the
houses owner, but the
Dayton newspaper reported
that county auditors records
showed the home belonged
to Scherrie McLin, the for-
mer director of the funeral
home. McLin is the sister
of former Mayor Rhine
McLin.
The state Board of
Embalmers and Funeral
Directors permanently
revoked Scherrie McLins
funeral directors license
and that of her funeral home
in January after a state
investigation revealed that
she violated nine state laws
and administrative codes,
according to the newspaper.
The board, which is the
court-appointed receiver of
McLins prepaid funeral
service contracts, announced
in January that more than
$100,000 in prepaid funeral
service money was unac-
counted for, and the county
prosecutors office is inves-
tigating whether criminal
charges should be filed
against McLin.
McLin couldnt be
reached for comment
Tuesday. A phone number
listed for the funeral home
has been disconnected.
Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.

Moderately confused
Poll: Obama job approval
rising, race still tight
By NANCY BENAC
and JENNIFER AGIESTA
WASHINGTON
Americans are feeling markedly
better about the countrys future
and about Barack Obamas job
performance, but the presi-
dents re-election race against
Republican Mitt Romney
remains a neck-and-neck prop-
osition as Election Day creeps
ever closer, according to a new
Associated Press-GfK poll.
Buoyed by good mojo com-
ing out of last months national
political conventions, Obamas
approval rating is back above
50 percent for the first time
since May, and the share of
Americans who think the coun-
try is moving in the right direc-
tion is at its highest level since
just after the death of Osama
bin Laden in May 2011.
Romney, his campaign
knocked off-stride in recent
weeks, has lost his pre-conven-
tion edge on the top issue of the
campaign the economy.
The poll results vividly
underscore the importance that
turnout will play in determining
the victor in Campaign 2012:
Among all adults, Obama has
a commanding lead, favored
by 52 percent of Americans to
just 37 percent for Romney.
Yet among those most likely to
vote, the race is drum tight.
Obama is supported by 47
percent of likely voters and
Romney by 46 percent, promis-
ing an all-out fight to the finish
by the two campaigns to gin up
enthusiasm among core sup-
porters and dominate get-out-
the-vote operations. Thats an
area where Obama claimed a
strong advantage in 2008 and
Republicans reigned four years
earlier.
Americans have been
increasingly focused on the
presidential race since the two
candidates barreled out of their
summer conventions into the
fall campaign: Nearly three-
fourths of adults say theyre
paying close attention now, up
modestly from earlier in the
summer. And with early voting
scheduled to be under way in
two dozen states by weeks end,
just 17 percent of likely voters
remain undecided or say that
they might change their minds.
Count Sandra Townsend,
a 57-year-old retiree from
Brookings, Ore., among the 84
percent of likely voters who say
their decision in this campaign
has been an easy one.
I like what Obama does,
she said flatly.
Townsend, a Democrat,
said shell watch the upcom-
ing presidential debates closely
but adds, No, Im not going to
change my mind.
Sixty-eight-year-old Vicki
Deakins, a Republican sizing up
the race from Garland, Texas, is
equally certain in her choice
of Romney. But she exudes
more enthusiasm for GOP run-
ning mate Paul Ryan than for
Romney himself.
I dont know that Romney
knows how to state emphati-
cally, with fire and passion and
guts and all that other stuff,
what he wants to do, she says.
I dont think hell be a great
orator. But I do think hell get
the job done.
Among those voters still
making up their minds or open
to changing their positions
the coveted bloc of persuad-
able voters 56 percent see
their choice this year as a hard
decision.
Twenty-three-year-old
Devin Vinson of Starksville,
Mass., says hes waiting to hear
more about the candidates
positions on education, foreign
policy and more.
Vinson, a Republican, is
leaning toward Obama but says
the close race has him weigh-
ing his decision this time more
carefully than four years ago,
when his family persuaded
him to back Republican John
McCain.
That was my first time vot-
ing and I just didnt really care
about it back then, he admits.
The poll shows most
Americans say they have a
good idea of what each candi-
date would do if elected, and 59
percent who know a good deal
about both men think Obama
will win a second term.
For all of the recent positive
signs for Obama, the public still
holds some sour opinions on
the economy. Sixty-one percent
of likely voters describe the
economy as poor. Just over half
think the economic outlook has
gotten worse over the last four
years. And 57 percent think
unemployment will get worse
or stay the same over the next
four years.
But Obama has made some
gains on economic expecta-
tions, with growing numbers of
voters anticipating things will
get better in the coming year.
Forty-eight percent of regis-
tered voters think things will
get better, up from 41 percent
before the conventions.
Romney lost his pre-con-
vention edge on the economy
as his campaign was distract-
ed by criticism of his hasty
response to the Obama admin-
istrations handling of the
eruption of violence in Egypt
and Libya last week and his
failure to mention the war
in Afghanistan or thank the
troops in his prime-time con-
vention speech. The two can-
didates run about even in the
poll on who would best handle
the economy or the federal
budget deficit, but Obama has
narrow advantages on protect-
ing the country, social issues
and health care.
Romney relearning historys gaffe lessons
By CONNIE CASS
WASHINGTON Who
says Mitt Romney doesnt
worry much about the very
poor? That he believes corpo-
rations are people, too? That
his wife drives two Cadillacs?
Romney himself, thats
who. When it comes to portray-
ing the Republican nominee
as an uncaring, out-of-touch
rich guy, hes his own worst
enemy, offering up a bonanza
for Democratic attack ads.
Romney hit the trifecta this
time by saying that 47 percent
of Americans believe they are
victims, think government
has a responsibility to care for
them and are unwilling to step
up and support themselves.
He may seem doomed to
relearn the same loose-lips les-
son over and over again in
2012. But Romneys far from
the first candidate to blunder
into a buzz saw of his own
words. His rival, President
Barack Obama, still hasnt
lived down a similar incident
from 2008.
In both cases the uproar was
amplified because the remarks
were intended only for the ears
of wealthy campaign donors,
said Kathleen Hall Jamieson,
director of the University of
Pennsylvanias Annenberg
Public Policy Center. Its
damaging when the public per-
ceives that something said in
private is not being said in
public, she said.
But this time, for Romney,
the perception that the state-
ment speaks potentially to char-
acter and personality as well as
to policy positions makes it
more potentially damaging,
Jamieson added.
Obama was caught on
video belittling small-town
Midwesterners in remarks to
San Francisco liberals at a pri-
vate fundraiser during his first
presidential campaign. People
struggling to get by in the
small towns of Pennsylvania
and the Midwest get bitter,
they cling to guns or religion,
Obama said.
Obamas Democratic pri-
mary rival, Hillary Rodham
Clinton, pronounced his remark
elitist and out of touch.
Four years later, GOP vice
presidential nominee Paul
Ryan is keeping the gaffe alive
by pointedly declaring himself
proud to be a Catholic deer
hunter.
And witness the
Republicans joyful riffing on
Obamas more recent You
didnt build that comment.
Steve Frantzich, a U.S.
Naval Academy professor who
wrote a book on candidates
oops moments, predicts an
even faster rate of flubs in the
future, thanks to smartphones,
YouTube and such. There is
no backstage area in modern
campaigns, Frantzich said.
Words gone wrong are nothing
new, however.
Romney has said he first
learned to fear such slip-
ups as a young man, when
the presidential hopes of his
father, Michigan Gov. George
Romney, imploded 45 years
ago under the weight of a sin-
gle ill-chosen phrase.
Asked why he had previ-
ously supported the Vietnam
War, the elder Romney said
that during an overseas tour,
generals and diplomats had
influenced him with the great-
est brainwashing that anybody
can get. He quit his campaign
amid outcry and derision.
As US troop surge ends, setbacks are piling up
By ROBERT BURNS
WASHINGTON The
end game in Afghanistan is off
to a shaky start.
Just as the last U.S. surge
troops leave the country, trou-
ble is breaking out in ways that
go to the core of the strategy
for winding down the U.S. and
allied combat role and mak-
ing Afghans responsible for
their own security. At stake
is the goal of ensuring that
Afghanistan not revert to being
a terrorist haven.
Nearly two years after
President Barack Obama
announced that he was send-
ing another 33,000 troops to
take on the Taliban, those rein-
forcements are completing their
return to the United States this
week. That leaves about 68,000
American troops, along with
their NATO allies and Afghan
partners, to carry out an ambi-
tious plan to put the Afghans
fully in the combat lead as early
as next year.
But the setbacks are piling
up: a spasm of deadly attacks
on U.S. and NATO forces by
Afghan soldiers and police,
including three attacks in the
last three days; an audacious
Taliban assault on a coalition
air base that killed two Marines
and destroyed six fighter jets;
and a NATO airstrike that inad-
vertently killed eight Afghan
women and girls.
The Pentagon on Monday
identified the two Marines killed
at Camp Bastion on Friday as
Lt. Col. Christopher K. Raible,
40, of Huntingdon, Pa., and
Sgt. Bradley W. Atwell, 27, of
Kokomo, Ind. Raible was com-
mander of the Harrier squad-
ron that had six of its planes
destroyed in the assault.
Tensions over the anti-
Islam movie produced in the
U.S. that ridicules the Prophet
Mohammad also spread to
Kabul, where demonstrations
turned violent Monday when
protesters burned cars and threw
rocks at a U.S. military base.
Those events help the
Talibans aim of driving a
wedge between the Americans
and their Afghan partners. They
also show that the Taliban, while
weakened, remains a force to be
reckoned with, 11 years after
the first U.S. troops arrived to
drive the Taliban out.
The extra troops began mov-
ing into Afghanistan in early
2010, pushing the total U.S.
force to a peak of 101,000 by
mid-2011.
The U.S. troop surge was
supposed to put so much mili-
tary pressure on the Taliban that
its leaders most of whom
are in Pakistan would feel
compelled to come to the peace
table. That hasnt happened.
Preliminary contacts began, but
have been stymied.
When he announced his
decision in December 2009 to
send the 33,000 extra troops,
Obama said it was aimed at
seizing the initiative in a war
that was not lost, but for sev-
eral years ... has moved back-
wards.
Battlefield momentum
was regained but doubts per-
sist about how long-lasting the
progress will prove to be.
Stephen Biddle, a professor
of international affairs at George
Washington University and an
occasional consultant to U.S.
commanders in Afghanistan,
said Monday hes grown more
pessimistic about the handoff of
security duties to the Afghans
in 2014.
It looks like what were
going to be handing off is a
stalemated war, he said in a
telephone interview Monday,
which means the U.S.
Congress will be asked to write
these checks (to support Afghan
forces) for years and years and
years with no plausible argu-
ment that were going to bring
this to a successful conclusion,
at least on the battlefield.
Troubling is piling up so
rapidly that some analysts won-
der where it will lead.
Weve had this series of
unfortunate events, the grand
total of which its really hard
to read in any remotely posi-
tive manner, said Douglas
Ollivant, a former Army officer
who served in Iraq during the
2007-08 American troop surge
and in 2010-11 was the senior
counterinsurgency adviser to
the U.S. commander of the
eastern sector of Afghanistan.
He is now a senior fellow at
the New America Foundation,
a think tank.
Worries about Afghan sol-
diers and police turning their
guns on their U.S. and allied
partners have reached the point
where Gen. John Allen, the top
U.S. commander there, direct-
ed lower-level commanders
on Sunday to review security
protections and to limit some
partnered operations with the
Afghans temporarily.
And it prompted Gen.
Martin Dempsey, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to
say Sunday that insider attacks
have become a very serious
threat to the war campaign.
Myanmars Suu
Kyi supports
easing of US
sanctions
WASHINGTON (AP)
Myanmar democracy leader
Aung San Suu Kyi began her
landmark visit to Washington
by declaring Tuesday that
she supports the easing of the
remaining U.S. economic sanc-
tions on her country.
Suu Kyi also credited
Myanmars president, the for-
mer general, Thein Sein, for
democratic reforms but cau-
tioned that the country also
known as Burma had a ways to
go before shaking off the legacy
of five decades of military rule.
The Nobel laureate spoke
after meeting with Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton
at the State Department, kick-
ing off a 17-day U.S. visit that
comes as the Obama admin-
istration considers easing its
ban on imports from Myanmar
in response to recent reforms,
including releases of about 90
dissidents this week.
Suu Kyis trip, during which
shell receive Congress high-
est award, marks another mile-
stone in her remarkable transi-
tion from imprisoned dissident
to globe-trotting parliamentar-
ian. Her comments on sanc-
tions also mark an evolution
in her view on the role that
Western governments should
play on promoting democracy
in Myanmar.
For years she had advocated
sanctions as a weapon for pres-
suring Myanmars military to
reform.
I do support the easing of
sanctions because I think that
our people must start to take
responsibility for their own
destiny, Suu Kyi said at the
United States Institute of Peace,
a conflict resolution group. We
should not depend on U.S. sanc-
tions to keep up the momentum
for democracy. We have got to
work at it ourselves.
Clinton did not directly
address the trade sanctions
issue in her comments but such
a categorical statement of sup-
port from Suu Kyi for easing
them increases the likelihood
the Obama administration
will do so possibly dur-
ing next weeks visit by Thein
Sein to attend the U.N. General
Assemblys annual gathering of
world leaders in New York.

Lorettas surgery went well; Lovina still canning
BY LOVINA EICHER
I decided to write this
column while my red beets
are cooking. I cook them
long enough so that the
skin peels off easily. I want
to make pickled red beets
to put in cans. We will
serve those for lunch when
we have church services
next spring. I also
have several more
buckets of toma-
toes ready to put
into juice. With
these tomatoes Ill
have well over
100 quarts of juice
canned already
along with 80 pints
of salsa so far. Ill
keep putting toma-
toes into jars until
it frosts which I am expect-
ing early this year.
Daughter Lorettas sur-
gery went well on Monday.
She has hard casts on both
legs up to her knees.
She isnt allowed to put
weight onto her feet for
four weeks until the casts
are removed. She will then
have walking casts for
2-4 weeks and will need
therapy. During that time
we want to get her AFO
(ankle-foot orthotic) braces
ordered. That way they will
be ready when the walking
casts are off. Loretta is in
a wheelchair so she needs
help to get to bed and to the
bathroom. Time is already
going slow for her but plans
are to go back to school
next Tuesday. There isnt
any school on Monday so
shell have an extra day
home. The school will send
a handicapped bus so it will
be easier to get her wheel-
chair off.
Our fourth cutting of hay
was put in last night. Hay
prices are still very high.
Jacob, Emma, and family
and Elizabeths
friend Timothy
and Susans
friend Mose
assisted us with
the hay. For sup-
per we had barbe-
cued hamburgers
and ribs, potatoes,
cheese, lettuce,
tomatoes, green
peppers, and ice
cream cake. The
ice cream cake was brought
by Jacobs in honor of their
oldest daughter Elizabeths
16th birthday. It is some-
thing different for Emma
and Jacob to have a child
old enough to be with the
youth. (Editors Note: at
age 16, Amish children are
able to attend the young
persons gatherings)
Joe doesnt have work
tomorrow so he plans to till
up the garden parts that are
done for the year. Tonight
he will go fishing with
Timothy. That is always
relaxing to him and espe-
cially with the hay being in
the barn.
Sunday we attended
church in a neighboring
community that brother
Alberts lives in. We attend-
ed the baptismal services
for Alberts daughter Irene.
We hired a driver to take us
as it was 22 miles from our
house.
We have three wedding
invitations on our refrigera-
tor. Congratulations go to
Delmar and Polly who will
be united in marriage on
Sept. 19. Also to Clyde and
Dora who will unite their
lives as one on Sept. 27.
Both the grooms work at the
same factory as Joe does.
And we were surprised to
receive an invitation to the
wedding of Menno and
Maggie on Oct. 6. Mennos
father, Leander, would be
a cousin to Joe. They grew
up together and made many
memories. We wish Gods
blessings to all the couples
and wish them many happy
healthy years together. It
seems short years ago that
our own wedding day was
and it has already been 19
years.
On a sadder note our
thoughts travel to dear
Mothers death 10 years
ago on Sept. 17. I often
wish my younger children
would have been able to
meet their grandmother.
She was a wonderful person
and will always be greatly
missed. I will say the words
she often said God makes
no mistakes.
With us being in the
middle of salsa season, I
thought Id share my recipe.
After making the salsa, I
can mine so it keeps longer.
But you can freeze this and
you can also cut the recipe
way down to family size
and serve immediately, this
doesnt have to be stored.
HOMEMADE SALSA
14 pounds of tomatoes,
scalded, peeled and cut up
10 green peppers,
chopped
5 cups onions, chopped
1 cup vinegar
2 ounces of hot peppers,
chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup salt
2 teaspoons oregano
flakes
3 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic pow-
der
10 tablespoons Clear Jel
(mixed with 3 cups water)
In a saucepan, mix all
of the above ingredients,
except for the Clear Jel.
Cook contents of saucepan
on low heat on the stove
top for 45 minutes, stir-
ring occasionally. In a
separate bowl, mix Clear-
Jel and water and stir until
dissolved. Add the Clear-
Jel mixture and cook for 5
more minutes. If you are
canning the salsa, cold-pack
it for 20 minutes. Or freeze
it for use later. If you are
making a smaller batch,
cool to room temperature
and serve.

DELPHOS Jeffersons
volleyball unit battled Lima
Central Catholic tooth-and-
nail in the first set Tuesday
night at Jefferson High School,
eventually falling 26-24.
The Lady Jeffcats could
never get back the same level
of play or intensity and fell
25-10, 25-12 in the next two
sets to fall in a Northwest
Conference tussle.
It was a combination of
the high level the Wildcats
(4-5, 1-2 NWC) were playing
at in the first set and more
mistakes than usual from the
Lady Thunderbirds (10-2, 3-0
NWC). It was a set of runs: 3-0
LCC, 6-0 Delphos; 5-0 LCC;
5-0 Wildcats; 5-0 guests. A
kill by LCC senior Shanna
Farler (10 kills) tied the set
at 16. From then on, neither
team could put together more
than a 3-point spurt. A hit off
the block by Jefferson senior
Fallon Van Dyke tied it at
24. However, a kill by junior
Lauren Jennings and an ace
by Mackenzie Conley (5 for
the match) put the opener in
the visitor book.
We have struggled get-
ting off quickly lately; we
played with great effort and
intensity. We were that close
to winning the set; if we come
through in the end, that would
have changed the rest of the
match, Jefferson coach Joy
Early said.
For LCC head man Wes
Horstman, it was the exact
opposite.
Whether it was not being
ready to play or starting slow,
we were not ready to play.
We basically gave away nine
points there and that makes it
tougher, Horstman acknowl-
edged.
It wasnt as if LCC totally
dominated the second set; the
Lady Wildcats continued bat-
tling the perennial volleyball
power but couldnt match the
firepower of their foe. As well,
LCC cleaned up its side of
the net not committing as
many errors (9 in the first, 23
for the match) and starting
to get more aces. Farler con-
tinued to have a solid attack
at the net but a 5-0 spurt
put the visitors in the drivers
seat at 9-4 on a kill by Molly
Clements (5 kills). A closing
8-0 span three aces from
Sarah Pajka (3 aces, 6 kills),
three Farler kills and two kills
by Sydney Zerante, including
the set-winner, put the visitors
up two sets.
LCC controlled the third
set. Not only did they have a
few kills at the net (7 kills) but
they also dominated the serv-
ing with nine aces, four by
Conley and three by Meredith
Niese (5 for the match). A
kill by middle hitter Farler on
match point ended the con-
test.
It seemed like we were
still fighting in the second set;
we just couldnt quite play the
same way and we couldnt get
anything to fall, Early added.
It was probably one of those
where losing such a close set
affected us. The third set, you
could see we werent nearly
as confident or intense. LCC
seemed to step their play up a
notch and we couldnt match
that.
Junior Katelyn Goergens
led the Red and White with
six kills, classmate Rileigh
Stockwell was 12-of-12 serv-
ing (1 ace), classmate Kamie
Pulford had four kills and
junior Brooke Culp four
assists.
We were far better the sec-
ond and third set. We got into
a rhythm both at the net and
at the serve and we cleaned
up our mistakes, Horstman
added.
The junior varsity match
went to LCC (4-3, 2-1 NWC)
as they downed the Wildcats
(1-6, 0-3 NWC) 25-14,
25-13.
Both squads play NWC foes
Thursday (6 p.m. JV starts):
Jefferson at Lincolnview and
LCC at Ada.
LCC volleyballers sweep Jefferson
By JIM METCALFE
FORT JENNINGS
Jeffersons girls soccer unit
got on board within the first
seven minutes of its Northwest
Conference tussle with Ada
Tuesday night at Keith Hamel
Memorial Field and rode that to
a 3-1 victory over the Bulldogs
on a windy, chilly day.
We wanted to get off quick-
ly. Weve been working on our
passing looking up when
were doing so and control-
ling the ball the last two days of
practice and you saw the results
today, Jefferson coach Josiah
Stober explained. The girls
have put in a lot of extra time
in conditioning. Were down to
14 players but they have done
a nice job of pushing through
even when theyre tired. We
give them a break when we
can and they recover quickly.
Were pretty confident in our
conditioning.
Ada head man Marty Clums
crew continues a season-long
trend.
The girls have been beaten
down for the last several sea-
sons and it has affected their
confidence. When we play with
confidence, we play well, but
as soon as things really go
against them, its the same old
thing, Clum noted. Plus, we
arent very experienced; we
have 12 letterwinners back but
only half really played a lot of
varsity time last year. We have
six players who have never
played the game before, so we
are constantly forced to teach.
The Wildcats (3-6-0, 1-2-0
NWC) had several great
chances in the early going.
For a 10-second span start-
ing at 37:43, sophomore Kylee
Haehn left fly from the left
wing and her 19-yarder was
deflected off the crossbar by
Ada senior keeper Ariel Rall
(25 saves versus 29 shots on-
goal); the deflection went to
sophomore Bailey Miller but
Rall deflected that in-close shot
wide.
At 36:10, the Wildcats had
another sequence as sophomore
Elisabeth Miller had a 14-yard-
er deflected by the keeper and
freshman Logan Hamilton had
the follow shot also deflected
by the keeper; she scrambled to
prevent the first goal before the
orb crossed the line.
However, at the 33-minute
mark, senior Rachel Miller got
on a great run down the left
post line; the keeper came out
some to try and cut off the
angle but Miller fired from 14
yards to the right side of the
twine for q 1-0 edge.
Ada (0-9, 0-3 NWC) then
had its first real attempt at
32:20 by sophomore Terra
Hunter but her 18-yarder was
well high.
The Red and White kept
attacking but either Rall came
up with the stops or their aim
was off-target.
That is, until the 25-sec-
ond mark. Off a midfield lead
pass free kick by sophomore
Jordyn Radler, Haehn got on a
great run down the middle. She
veered toward the right post
and her 14-yarder found the left
side for a 2-0 edge.
That score stood until the
31:43 mark of the second half.
Hamilton was fouled in the box
and awarded a penalty kick;
however, Rall deflected the orb
wide. However, on the ensuing
corner kick sequence, senior
Jenna Moreo, Bailey Miller
and Rachel Miller combined
on a quick-hitter that resulted
in the latters 9-yarder from the
middle to the right side and a
3-0 edge.
The Bulldogs as they
had in the first half started
to mount more of a n offensive
challenge but couldnt find the
back of the net as Jefferson
senior keeper Paige Miller (6
saves vs. 9 shots on-goal) kept
them off the board.
That is, until the 16:48
mark. Junior Annabel Pinkney
made a run down the left post
line with a defender on her hip
pocket and her 12-yarder found
the right side of the net for a
3-1 scoreboard.
Jefferson had a couple more
great chances but Rall was
brilliant in keeping them from
doing any further damage.
Our seniors have really
stepped up and accepted their
roles on this team, even if they
have never played it before,
Stober added. Corinne
(Metzger) does a great job of
cleaning up things back there
on defense with her speed but
all our defenders are doing a
great job.
Ariel is doing a great job
as our new keeper; our regular
(Natasha Long) is now our stat-
istician due to a knee injury,
Clum added. It hurts us in the
field because Ariel is one of
our better players. We didnt
quit and we wont; the girls
keep coming back.

Parkway knocks off St. Johns
in MAC volleyball
By Sean Lafontaine
DHI Correspondent
ROCKFORD The Parkway
Lady Panthers hosted the St.
Johns Lady Blue Jays Tuesday
night in Midwest Athletic
Conference volleyball action.
After the Lady Panthers dropped
the first set, they rallied back to
take the last three, defeating
St. Johns 23-25, 25-18, 25-20,
25-12.
Both teams played a close
first set which saw many lead
changes. At the end of the set,
St. Johns strung together a run
to take it.
However, the second set
was a different story. The Lady
Panthers got out to an early 11-5
lead but St. Johns stormed back
by scoring seven straight points
to take the 13-12 lead; the Lady
Panthers rallied back. Back-
to-back kills by Kylie Snyder
and Morgan Steinbrunner lifted
them to a 16-13 lead. The Lady
Jays stayed within striking dis-
tance until the end. With the
score 21-18, Parkway took the
last four points, including kills
by Madison Roehm and Raegen
Bransteter, to tie the match at
1.
The third set was almost a
mirror image of the first. The
Jays kept the set close at the
beginning. The two teams were
tied 10 different times. The
Lady Jays took the lead on a
kill by Bailie Hulihan but for
the last time. Parkway battled
back to tie the set, eventually
took the lead and closed out the
set with a block by Steinbrunner
and a kill by Snyder.
In the fourth set, the Lady
Panthers took advantage of a
tired St. Johns. In the middle of
the set, Parkway went on a 6-1
run, including two kills from
Steinbrunner, to take control of
the set 14-8. The Lady Panthers
took the last six points of the set
to grab the match.
The girls fought hard
tonight, said St. Johns coach
Kellie Sterling. The first set,
we got down by as many as
six but came back and never
gave up. Everything just came
together for us and we were
able to pull it out. In the second
game, the girls continued to
play hard. Really, there wasnt
anything I didnt like; we just
ran out of energy at the end.
We fought so hard
the first two or three
sets, we just ran out of
gas. Overall, the girls
played well. Parkway
did a good job of
adjusting through-
out the game and we
also adjusted pretty
well. Both teams did
a good job of mak-
ing plays that you nor-
mally wouldnt expect
high school athletes to
make. Im just very proud of the
girls; we just didnt get the out-
come we were looking for.
For the Lady Blue Jays,
Katrina Etzkorn led the way
with 32 digs, Emily Horstman
had two aces, Heather Vogt
10 blocks and
Christie Carder
13 assists. The
loss drops St.
Johns to 4-8 on
the year.
Steinbrunner
led the way for
Parkway with 15
kills and eight blocks. Whitney
Rollins added 21 assists, Marissa
Hunter five aces and Lindsey
Walls 32 digs.
St. Johns hosts Minster 5:30
p.m. (JV start) Thursday.

Lady Knights dispel
archrival Lancers
By Brian Bassett
DHI Correspondent
CONVOY The Crestview
Lady Knight and Lincolnview
Lady Lancer volleyball teams
renewed their annual Northwest
Conference rivalry Tuesday
night at Ray Etzler Gymnasium
in Crestview High School and
the Lady Knights escaped with
a hard-fought 25-21, 14-25,
25-15, 25-23 victory.
The Lady Knights squeaked
out a win in the first set before
the Lady Lancers tied things up
at 1-1 in the second. Crestview
took the final two,
despite Lincolnview
leading by multiple
points in each set.
Tonight, again,
it showed what
weve been strug-
gling with (all sea-
son). Which is up-
and-down volleyball - the men-
tal part. Physically, our skills
are there. When were on, were
on, but when were off, were
off, said Lincolnview coach
Heather Crow. That is what I
think we had tonight; Crestview
was able to attack us when we
were down.
The Lady Knights opened
an 11-4 advantage in set one
capped by a kill by sophomore
Courtney Trigg. The Lady
Lancer deficit grew to eight later
when an error gave Crestview
an 18-10 lead and prompted
the Lady Lancers to use a tim-
eout. The break helped
Lincolnview on a 5-2
run to force a Lady
Knight timeout lead-
ing 20-15. Crestview
extended its lead to
23-16 but a tip and an
ace from sophomore
Devann Springer, as
well as a Crestview
error, brought
Lincolview within 23-19. A
kill from Trigg gave
the Lady Knights set
point and an emphatic
kill from junior Kirstin
Hicks sealed the first set
win for Crestview.
Momentum changed
hands after that and the
Lady Lancers jumped out to
a 12-3 lead, capped by a pair
of kills by senior Jodie Doner.
Crestview never really could
get back in the set. Lincolnview
sealed the set on a kill by senior
Mandie Tennant, an ace from
junior Ashley McClure and a
kill by Doner.
Both teams battled to start
the third set before the Lady
Knights opened up a 14-11
lead on a Hicks kill and an
ace by sophomore Mackenzie
Riggenbach. The Lady Lancers
drew to within 16-15 but the
Lady Knights finished the set
with nine consecutive points,
sealed by four consecutive
Lincolnview errors.
The Lady Lancer troubles
continued to open the fourth set
as Crestview stormed to a 6-0
lead, prompting a Crow tim-
eout, but the Lady Knight run
continued. Crestview increased
its lead to 19-10 when the Lady
Lancer used their second tim-
eout. The team began to fight
back; after an error, they scored
six consecutive points to pull
within five. Later, a pair of
Tennant kills and a Lady Knight
error cut the Crestview lead
to 24-21 and forced the Lady
Knights to use a timeout. Doner
got a kill and Springer a tip to
draw Lincolnview within 24-23
and force another Lady Knight
timeout. Crestview finally
answered in a big way out of
the break, with a Trigg kill to
seal the win.
Both teams return to the
court Thursday: Lincolnview
(2-5, 0-3 NWC) at home vs.
Jefferson and Crestview (6-4,
2-1) at Paulding.

Lancer boys shut out Ada
By Nick Johnson
DHI Correspondent
ADA - The Lincolnview
Lancer boys soccer team trav-
eled to Ada High School to
take on the Bulldogs in soccer
Tuesday night. After a scoreless
first half, the Lancers struck for
two goals in the second half for
the 2-0 victory.
Lincolnview got the ball to
start the first half and held on
to it for most of the period. Due
to the good play of Ada goal-
keeper Tate Anspach, however,
the Lancers were turned away in
the first half.
With 13 minutes left in the
half, Lancer senior Nick Leeth
got two golden opportunities
to score a goal but both were
denied by Anspach.
After both teams went into
the half scoreless, the Bulldogs
got the ball to start the second.
The Lancers were took control
of the ball quickly, which led to
a Kade Carey shot on-goal when
he went top-shelf but Anspach
tipped the ball over the crossbar
to save the goal.
With 10 minutes
gone, Bulldog junior
Cory Kellum made a
run at the goal but
Lancer keeper Mark
Evans prevented the
goal.
The Lancers
struck back quickly
when Carey made
a run from the right
side of the goal and bent the
ball all the way to the left side,
beating Anspach with 28:48 left
in the match.
Ada forward Cole East
thought he had a sure goal when
he went top-shelf over Evans
fingertips but the wind had other
ideas, helping the ball just miss
the inside post of the goal.
The two teams then traded
good scoring opportunities off
of corner kicks.
With 9:22 left, after a penal-
ty gave Lincolnview a free kick,
Evans fired it downfield, where
Carey sent a header at Leeth,
who had a wide-open net and
simply kicked the ball into the
back of the net for the second
goal for the Lancers.
I thought we played well;
we have been trying to make up
every possession and when we
lost possession, we were able
to mark up, which allowed us
to control the ball most of the
time, said Lincolnview coach
Mark McCleery.
The Lancers (4-3) visit
Lima Temple Christian 5 p.m.
Thursday.

Information submitted

Wholesale tire distribu-
tor K&M Tire, Inc., has
entered into a purchase
agreement with Reliable
Tire Co. to purchase two of
their warehouses in Texas.
K&M Tire will begin man-
aging operations at the two
distribution facilities on

The two warehouses
are located in Houston
and Dallas. Major brands
of tires distributed from
these warehouses are
Bridgestone/Firestone and
Continental/General pas-
senger and light truck tires.
K&M Tire plans to expand
the offering to its new cus-
tomers in Texas.
Currently, there are 16
employees at the 70,000-
square-foot warehouse in
Dallas and 13 employ-
ees at the 40,000-square-
foot facility in Houston.
K&M Tire has offered

and utility tires. K&M Tire
plans to continue to look

Canadian auto union makes progress with GM
By ROB GILLIES
TORONTO The
head of the Canadian Auto
Workers said late Tuesday
there has been significant
progress toward a new
labor deal with General
Motors and said the
Detroit automaker is wait-
ing for a counter-proposal
from the union.
CAW President Ken
Lewenza said they will
make the offer today. He
also said theyve made
progress with Chrysler,
but not as much as theyve
made with GM.
The union decided late
Monday to keep work-
ing past a midnight strike
deadline after reaching a
tentative deal with Ford
and extending its contracts
with GM and Chrysler.
Workers are staying on
the job as talks continue,
but can go on strike after
giving GM and Chrysler
24 hours notice. Both
companies asked for more
time to study the deal with
Ford. The CAW wants the
Ford contract to serve as a
template for the other two
companies.
Were not going to
get a settlement tonight,
but boy, I see a signifi-
cant amount of prog-
ress at General Motors,
Lewenza said.
Lewenza said Chrysler
is still studying the Ford
deal. He said there has
been no real signal from
Chrysler that theyll meet
the pattern set by Ford, but
said there has been good
faith bargaining. Chrysler
earlier took issue with the
CAW focusing its efforts
on Ford, saying Ford has
smaller operations in
Canada than Chrysler and
GM do.
Ford Motor Co. work-
ers will vote on their
agreement next weekend.
It cuts wages for new hires
and freezes pay for current
workers. But it also gives
them lump-sum payments
to cover inflation and for
ratifying the deal.
Under the Ford deal,
the company will pay new
workers 60 percent of
the current top wage of
$33.89 Canadian dollars
($34.74) an hour, accord-
ing to the CAW. That
would mean new work-
ers would be paid around
$20.33 Canadian ($20.84).
They can move up the
wage scale and reach the
top wage in 10 years.
U.S. workers at the
Detroit automakers
approved a similar two-
tier wage agreement five
years ago, but in those
agreements, workers dont
automatically get the top
wage after 10 years.
The auto companies say
Canada is the most expen-
sive place in the world to
make cars and trucks, and
they could move produc-
tion south if the CAW
doesnt cut costs. The
CAW represents about
21,000 auto workers in
Canada and about 16 per-
cent of auto production in
North America.
GM and Chrysler make
popular models in Canada
that would soon be in short
supply if theres a strike.
CAW workers also make
key engine parts and other
components for U.S.-built
cars.
Industry analysts say a
strike would be felt in U.S.
factories in a week or less,
and dealers could quickly
run short of some mod-
els, largely because they
havent built up stocks
due to higher demand for
cars and trucks in the U.S.
In Canada, GM makes the
Chevrolet Camaro, Impala
and Equinox, along with
the Buick Regal, Cadillac
XTS and GMC Terrain.
Chrysler makes minivans
and the Dodge Challenger
and Charger, Chrysler
300, and Ram Cargo Van
in Canada.
The deal with Ford
averts a strike there, and
800 laid-off Ford employ-
ees will go back to work,
partially through the cre-
ation of 600 new jobs at
Canadian operations.
Canadas advantag-
es in the past a weak
Canadian dollar and gov-
ernment health care
have all but vanished com-
pared with U.S. factories.
In addition, the United
Auto Workers union in
the U.S. has agreed to
steeper concessions than
the CAW, making U.S.
labor costs cheaper. Going
into the talks, the Detroit
automakers were pay-
ing an estimated $60 to
$62 an hour for labor and
benefits in Canada, com-
pared with $50 an hour at
Chrysler, $56 at Ford and
$58 at GM, according to
the Center for Automotive
Research, a nonprofit
research group.
The federal Canadian
and Ontario province gov-
ernments worked in tan-
dem with the U.S. govern-
ment on auto bailouts in
2009 to maintain Canadas
share of North American
auto production. Canadas
share peaked at 3.2 mil-
lion cars in 1999, about
17.4 percent of North
American production. In
2011, Canada produced
2.1 million vehicles, or
about 16 percent.
Lady Bulldogs outlast Big

assists), junior Taylor Mangas (7
kills), 5 assists) and junior Nikki
Burgei (5 kills, 4 stuff-blocks).
They had nine aces, 14 missed
serves and 26 hitting miscues.
After battling to 2-sets-all, it
came down to the ultimate fifth
set. A hitting error on the first vol-
ley put Grove in the lead and they
seemingly had the momentum. A
service error put the Bulldogs up
11-6. Back came the still-green
Green. A 7-1 spurt put Ottoville
up as Siefker put down a bomb.
Wynn answered with her own
and junior Elizabeth Selhorst
added another for a 1-point lead.
A push off the block by senior
Tammy Wannemacher tied it at
14. Another Wynn spike off a
back-row defender put the serve in
the hands of junior Kelli Vorst (20
digs) and she put in the 16th ace to
end the marathon.
We battled the entire way.
Were still an inexperienced group
and every match we play like
this, the better it will benefit us,
Ottoville coach Kirt Martz noted.
We have our moments where
we pay outstanding volleyball and
then there are moments when you
know were still learning. We had
that again tonight against a very
good opponent.
Grove coach Kelly Lepley
agreed.
There was a lot of ebb and
flow tonight; I wish thered have
been more flow for us. It seemed
like no one could keep the serve
very long, Lepley said. Julia was
clutch for us tonight. We tried to
use quick-hitters with her and we
just wanted her to swing.
The largest margin by either
team in the five sets was seven
points.
In the first set, the largest mar-
gin was three three times by
the Big Green and there were
six ties. Neither team could really
get on a string. A net violation by
the hosts tied the score at 23. An
ace by Tabler and a bomb off an
overpass by Stechschulte put the
set in Groves favor.
The second set followed the
same trend the biggest margin
was four at 19-15, Grove as
every time some team threat-
ened to put a roll together, the
other answered. That is, until it
was 22-20, Grove, on a spike by
McCluer. Ottoville put together
a 5-1 closing spurt finished
by a push off the back row by
Wannemacher to tie it at a set
apiece.
Set three was identical to its
two predecessors. Ottoville had the
largest lead of 16-12 on a Siefker
stuff but the Bulldogs replied to tie
it at 16 on an ace by sophomore
Hope Schroeder. It was close from
then on, with the Lady Green grab-
bing the final two points: a spike
off the defense by Mangas and a
stuff by Siefker; for a 2-1 set lead.
In the fourth set, after a close
stretch, Grove seemed to get the
momentum, putting together a
17-9 mid-set stretch to gain an
22-15 edge the matchs larg-
est on a McCluer ace. Ottoville
could not recover and when Wynn
put a hit off the Ottoville block, it
forced the fifth set.
I felt we should have won
the first set but we didnt. We
struggled with the serve; we made
too many mistakes, Martz added.
I just contribute that to us still
learning how to play at the varsity
level; were not in that rhythm yet
that every coach likes to get into.
I have a great group of girls that
give me everything they have. I
am proud of the effort they give
me every night.
Serving was a big key for
Lepleys crew.
My philosophy is to tell the
girls to go for it on the serve, she
added. We are willing to accept
mistakes there because we want
the girls to make things happen.
We want to put our opponents
system on the defensive and get
them out of their rhythm from the
start.
Grove won the junior varsity
match 21-25, 25-17, 25-14.

Lady Musketeers overwhelm
undermanned Bluffton in soccer
FORT JENNINGS The Fort
Jennings Lady Musketeer soccer
unit has a lot of depth in 2012.
Bluffton has had three major
injuries in the past week to key
defensive/midfield starters, thus
leaving the Lady Pirates a little bit
lacking in depth.
The speedy Lady Musketeers
used that to overwhelm the Lady
Pirates 5-0 Monday in non-league
action at the Fort Jennings Outdoor
Athletic Complex.
The Musketeers (5-1-2) domi-
nated the shooting, putting in
21 on-goal to zero for the Lady
Pirates (3-5-0), with senior Gabbie
German getting the shutout.
Our speed killed them. Plus,
were starting to put things togeth-
er better: ball possession, pass-
ing, crosses, everything, Jennings
mentor Rodney Wagner noted.
We did a lot of the right things
Saturday against Bath (0-0 draw)
and continued to do the same
today.
Bluffton coach Joel Steinmetz
lamented his teams situation.
We werent the greatest
offensive team to begin with but
we were pretty good defensively.
Its not as if we dont try to push
the girls forward but its a strug-
gle, Steinmetz added. Then it
becomes a matter of our defense
facing so much pressure and us
not being the deepest team, we
get tired and give up goals. Well
keep working to try and overcome
our injuries.
The hosts used their speed,
especially up front, to bedevil the
undermanned Pirates. They put
a lot of pressure on Pirate net-
minder Abbey Heslep (16 saves)
but she or her defenders stymied
Musketeer efforts.
That is, until the 26:51 mark.
Senior Macy Schroeder found
senior Elaina Maag on a lead
through pass and Maag finished
it with a good run down the right
side. She launched a high 18-yard-
er over the top of Heslep and into
the left side of the cords for a 1-0
edge.
Jennings continued to thor-
oughly dominate the orb but could
not dent the scoreboard the rest of
the half.
It didnt take long for the
Orange and Black to do so in
the second half: the 37:26 mark.
Freshman Brandi Kaskel got open
on an angle from the right side and
her 12-yarder hit off a defender
and into the goal for a 2-nil edge.
Over 10 minutes later 10:17,
to be exact it became 3-0.
Junior Emily Grone got loose for
a shot in front of the goal: Heslep
knocked it away but Grone kept
coming and put the ricochet back
in from close range.
Fort Jennings had a prime
sequence in front of their offensive
goal at 25:17 but three tries were
deflected by defenders.
At the 24:20 mark, junior
Ashley Gable would not be denied,
taking advantage of the keeper
being obscured by a defender as
she fired a 14-yarder from the
right post to the left side for a 4-0
margin.
With 21:36 to go, Schroeder
found Grone for a great run down
the center. Heslep came out to
try and cut off the angle; Grone
launched a 14-yarder that was
deflected by the keeper to Hesleps
right but Grone found an open
goal for her 6-yarder and a 5-0
advantage.
I liked the shots were getting,
even the ones farther out. We just
werent crashing the first half and
missed chances, Wagner added.
Jennings also owned the corner
kicks 6-0.
Bluffton visits Van Buren 5
p.m. Thursday.
Jennings visits Ottoville 6 p.m.
Friday.

Lady Eagles dominate
Lady Green 3-1
By BOB WEBER
The Delphos Herald
btzweber@bright.net
OTTOVILLE Monday
night, the Liberty-Benton Lady
Eagles came to the home of the
Big Green for a non-league girls
soccer matchup.
The Lady Eagles fell behind
early but ended up totally domi-
nating the Lady Green in a 3-1
victory before the skies opened up
with rain showers.
Lady Green head coach Tim
Kimmet knew his team needed
to jump out quickly on the very
talented Liberty-Benton team. At
the 37:09 mark, senior Rachel
Turnwald sent a pass towards the
goal that was deflected right to
the left foot of sophomore Haley
Landwehr for an early goal, giv-
ing Kimmet that fast start he was
looking for.
At the 34:28 mark, the Eagles
after a free kick was pres-
suring the Lady Green net when
junior Jessica Selhorst found her-
self wide open in front of the net
and her shot beat Lady Green
senior goalie Rachel Beining,
knotting the score at 1-1.
The Lady Eagles continued the
offensive pressure on the home
team throughout the half. Junior
Kayla Trevino gave the Eagles
several scoring attempts with her
excellent ability to center corner
kicks right in front of the net; how-
ever, Beining and the Lady Green
defenders were able to survive the
threats.
The Lady Greens last scoring
opportunity of the half came when
Turnwald gained a step on her
defender but her shot sailed high
and right of the goal. The Lady
Green could only put one shot on-
goal for the entire first half.
Selhorst struck again at the
18:39 mark with her second goal;
senior Marisa Burkett and Trevino
assisted on the goal, making the
score 2-1.
The final two minutes saw the
Eagles even more step up the pres-
sure on the Lady Green.
At the 1:50 mark, junior Jana
Fish sent a beautiful centering
pass to senior Megan Bartchlett
that deflected a shot towards the
goal high enough to clear Beining;
however, the soccer ball rolled on
the top of the crossbar and just fell
over the net to keep the score 2-1.
The guests at the 46-second
mark used another great pass
from Fish, this time finding junior
Samantha Johnson and the back of
the net, increasing the lead to 3-1
going into halftime.
The Lady Eagles had 12 shots
on-goal for the half.
The second half did not find
the scoring column changing;
however, the Lady Eagles totally
dominated play on both ends of the
field. Johnson, Burkett, Selhorst,
Trevino and Fish continued the
offensive pressure on Beining (16
saves) in goal.
The Lady Green came up with
one additional shot on-goal at the
20:20 mark when Turnwalds cor-
ner kick was headed by junior
Monica Sarka but cleared by
Lady Eagle junior goalie Kaitlyn
Hanrahan.
Kimmet wasnt surprised with
the play of the Eagles: I felt like
we got off to a good start and we
got one in early and I thought
if we could play a great game
on both ends, hopefully we could
come away with a win if we kept
the score low. Liberty-Benton is
always so good, very physical and
extremely athletic. We let them
score on us and after that, they
simply controlled the ball and that
was basically the game tonight.
For the match, the Lady Eagles
had 19 shots on-goal.
The Lady Eagles (3-3-1) will
travel to Cory-Rawson today
for a 5 p.m. BVC match. The
Lady Green (6-2-0) host the Lady
Musketeers of Fort Jennings for a
Friday night PCL game scheduled
for a 6 p.m. start.

Wearing the right shoes
can prevent bunions
DEAR DOCTOR K:
I have a bunion on my left
foot and it hurts! What
can I do?
DEAR READER:
With a bunion, your big
toe turns inward, bending
toward, or even under, the
other toes. Since your feet
probably are inside shoes
and not easily visible,
Ill try to explain what
happens to your big toe by
asking you to look at your
hand. Look at your thumb.
Feel the joint where the
thumb starts sticking out
from the hand. Unless you
have arthritis, the bone in
your hand and the first
bone in your thumb are
lined up pretty straight.
If your thumb
developed a bunion, the
bone in your hand would
be pointing
outward and
the bones in the
thumb would be
pointing inward.
B u n i o n s
most often result
from shoes that
squeeze the toes
into pointy or
narrow toe boxes.
T h i s
forces the toes
to fold over one
another to fit
in. Over time, a
bunion develops.
At first, its just a
little ugly, and it
can make it hard
to get into shoes.
It may not even
hurt.
If and when
it does begin to
hurt, there are
several things
you can do to ease
your discomfort.
You can pad the
bump with felt
or moleskin. Or try a
shoe stretcher to stretch
the front of your shoe,
relieving pressure on
the bunion part of your
foot. Shoe inserts called
orthoses can redistribute
your weight so the bunion
doesnt constantly rub
against your shoe. Foot
doctors called podiatrists
can fit you with these
inserts.
For pain, try NSAID
pain relievers such as
ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)
or naproxen (Aleve). Hot
and cold compresses may
also help.
If you continue to
experience significant
pain, you may need
to consider surgery.
Surgery will partially or
completely restore your
toe to its normal position.
The specific procedure
will depend on the severity
of your condition.
During recovery
from bunion surgery,
you may have to wear
a bandage and special
shoe, or possibly a cast if
your case is more severe.
The special shoe or cast
will protect your foot,
allowing it to heal, while
enabling you to walk on
your heel. Sometimes
you need to stop putting
weight even on the heel
of the foot that has had
surgery, and use crutches
or other devices. You will
also have to stop driving
for about six weeks.
After the special shoe
or cast is removed, you
need to do exercises to
regain your strength and
flexibility. It can take six
months to recover fully.
We have more
information on bunions in
our Special Health Report,
Foot Care Basics. (Learn
more about this report at
AskDoctorK.com, or call
877-649-9457 toll-free to
order it.)
In the future, wear
shoes that provide
sufficient room in the toe
boxes. Were not talking
tennis shoes -- there are
plenty of attractive shoes
that qualify. This can help
to prevent future bunions
from developing, or keep
existing ones from getting
worse.

Tomorrows
Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Issues may
linger after
knot tied
Dear Annie: I am 23
years old and have been dat-
ing Tom for two years. He
works in a demanding job that
requires an extensive amount
of travel. Hes away almost
six months of the year.
When Tom isnt traveling,
hes with me during the week,
but spends most weekends
going places with his frater-
nity or visiting his parents.
This means for the
six months hes in
town, I get perhaps
one weekend.
We are saving
for a house, and
Toms constant
recreational travel
is cutting into our
budget. I want our
couple time back,
as well as time to
take care of things
at home. Ive sug-
gested compro-
mises (such as
two weekends away and two
weekends home), but things
always come up that he has
to do. Two months ago,
I was let go from my job.
That same afternoon, Tom
left on a trip with friends
that could have easily been
cancelled. I cant use those
same weekends to visit my
family because they are too
far away, so I spend a lot of
time sitting home alone.
I know nothing unsavory
is going on. Tom is a wonder-
ful guy. I have no intention of
leaving him. I knew when we
met that his job would require
a lot of travel, but these per-
sonal weekends are difficult
for me. I know he hates being
inactive or staying home, but
it seems excessive. How can
we come up with a workable
solution? -- Home Alone
Dear Home: Tom thinks
he already has a workable
solution and has no incentive
to compromise. After all, he
sees you all week. Right now,
his schedule is a minor hard-
ship for you, but if you marry
and have children, it will be a
major problem. Youll have
to revisit this issue then.
Meanwhile, we are never
in favor of sitting home alone
moping. Please find things
to occupy yourself during
the weekends when Tom is
absent. Look for part-time
work. Take classes to bone
up on your skills. Go bik-
ing. Accompany him when
he visits his family, and get
to know them better.
Dear Annie: My son is
getting married in November
in his fiancees hometown.
My son says his fiancee has
selected the place for the
rehearsal dinner. She also
wants to invite not just the
wedding party, but everyone
who will be in town for the
wedding.
I have not been consulted
about the plans, and have
expressed my concerns to
my son regarding the cost
of the dinner. I am on a
fixed income. My son says
his fiancees parents have
offered to pay for whatever I
cant afford. He also says hes
learned to pick his battles and
will not argue with his bride
about the dinner plans, as she
wants it to be a memorable
celebration.
How do I han-
dle the situation?
-- Mother of the
Groom
Dear Mom: Your
future daughter-
in-law has usurped
your privilege to
host the rehearsal
dinner. Determine
what you can com-
fortably afford for
this event, and then
inform your son
that this is what
you would have
spent had you planned it, and
you are happy to give him
a check for this amount. If
he chooses to have a more
elaborate affair, someone
else will have to cover the
additional cost.
Dear Annie: You gave
good advice to Donny,
who wants to be closer to his
grandparents. I am blessed
with 11 grandchildren and
love them dearly. As they
have aged, however, they
have become more distant,
and Im lucky to get a grunt
from them. They give me
little reason to seek them out.
It seems to be the norm with
the onset of texting and social
media. Communication is a
lot different with our genera-
tion.
I have given up pursuing
my older grandchildren, but
would be elated to have them
show that they cared about a
relationship. But they have
to do their part. -- Cal in
Maine

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,
2012
Certain situations will develop in
the year ahead that
will enable you to gain
something that youve
desired for a long
time. You could now
have the necessary
wherewithal and
assistance to achieve what you want.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Dont give up too quickly if things
start out all wrong for you. Fortunately,
you will be able to stick in there until
youre able to turn things around to
your liking.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Now
is the time to start looking ahead. You
should be able to come up with an idea
for blending your present efforts with
what you have in mind for the future,
resulting in a recipe for success.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
How you conduct yourself in front
of others is likely to have a strong
bearing on something that is pending
for you career-wise. Make sure you
get a good grade.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Without minimizing or ignoring
your logical assessments, youll still
be able to consider the feelings of
others. Make sure your final decisions
have a broad appeal.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Devote your time and effort
to assignments that you enjoy
performing. If you are choosy, this
could be an extremely productive and
rewarding day for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Whether you are working on
something creative or dealing with
the mundane, the artistry you employ
is likely to be quite impressive. Your
endeavors will win favorable appeal.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
The way you deal with people and try
to make everyone feel important will
win you all kinds of points. You will
inspire people to put forth more effort
than they usually do.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Dont despair if your day begins on a
sour note. When you start to hear all
the nice things others are saying about
you, youll quickly turn your frown
into a smile.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Regardless of what kind of financial
mess you may find yourself in, fight
your way through it. Everything is
likely to turn around for you before
the day is out.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
The cycle youre presently in puts a
very strong emphasis on your natural
leadership qualities. Even if you prefer
not to use them, others will still turn to
you for direction.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Any merchandise you acquire today
will likely be treasured for a long
time to come. Its the combination of
elegance and practicality that makes
this so.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An
unusual amount of success in your
endeavors is indicated, all because you
try to do the most good for the greatest
number. Itll pay off for everybody.
