Rain, cooler weather plague crop production
Wet weather and cooler
temperatures have hampered
farmers from taking corn
off their elds. (DHI Media/

sgroves@delphosherald.com
Throughout the region, the abun-
dance of moisture has slowed har-
vest by delaying farmers entry into
their elds to take crops off.
Ohio State University Van Wert Ex-
tension Educator Dr. Curtis Young said
there have been some challenges and all
counties have beans slowly maturing.
Last weekend was the most
active with the harvesting of soy-
beans, Young said. There are still a
lot of exceedingly green crops which
are the double crops planted late
summer. Hopefully, they will mature
before a heavy frost.
Young said harvest is slowed
when the greener stalks are fed
through the combine at faster rates
because they tend to clog the com-
bine, which in turn, leads to lower
yields. To compensate, farmers slow
down the rate of speed crops are fed
into the combine.
The longer harvesting soybeans
is delayed, the longer it will be to get
winter wheat planted which results
in less wheat production next year,
Young detailed. Weve had respect-
able bean yields, 45-75 bushel per
acre and without much dry out.
United Equitys General Man-
ager Jackie Seibert said some elds
are complete and farmers are really
happy with their harvests.
Its still early, yet, Seibert said.
Weve had bean yields in the 65+
bushel per acre with some yields
ranging 71-73 bushel.
Jim Hoorman, Extension Educator
at the Ohio State University in Put-
nam County, said typically, corn and
soybean crops come off the eld be-
tween September 26 and October 10.
This year, farmers are drying
beans down a little bit, Hoorman
said. Bean yields have been decent,
but not outstanding. Were seeing
yields slightly above 60 bushel per
acre with a few up to 70 and an aver-
age of 50-60 bushel.
Hoorman said the second plant-
ing of beans did not grow as fast this
year due to the cooler weather and
there were some weed issues farm-
ers had to contend with due to slower
plant growth.
Sunlight penetration into the
soils surrounding soybean plants pro-
moted Marestail a fast-growing
broadleaf weed with late break-
outs of the weed after July 1 and into
August, Hoorman reported. Get-
ting herbicides into the elds after
planting proved to be detrimental to
crops. They had to run down a lot of
plants to spray the crops.
He said even though its getting
late in the season, farmers can not
take equipment into elds and get
into deep mud or compact planting
soils. He said there are many climate
variables that can affect planting
wheat crops.
The optimal time frame for
planting wheat is between September
26 through October 10, Hoorman
said. Planting in wetter soils can
lead to seed rot. If the fall weather
allows seeds to germinate and grow
into seedlings, a hard freeze in De-
cember can freeze them off.
Hoorman explained that seed-
lings will come up from under the
snow and be insulated when there is
an adequate blanketing of the root
system.
Finding out whats
up there

VAN WERT Usually a
drive through Van Wert sim-
ply draws attention to those
ofces and businesses on the
rst oor of the many down-
town buildings. But what
about those upper windows?
What is hiding behind those
second and third oor win-
dows? Main Street Van Wert
is allowing people access to a
few hidden places and secret
places on Friday, Oct. 24 from
4-6 p.m. The Hidden Spaces
tour will cost a mere $10 per
person to see and experience
the unnished, untouched,
empty, and perhaps scary
places just above the sidewalk.
Some of these spaces have
been empty for decades
one of them for maybe half
a century even, Main Street
Program Manager Adam Ries
pointed out.
Ries said that ve of these
unused places will be a part of
the tour. One will feature the
lower oor, and the other four
will be the upstairs spaces.
Those going on the tour will
see glimpses into the past
stencils from when one space
was a ballroom, tags from an
old hardware store, he de-
scribed. They are beautiful
spaces, theres an artfulness
to them, but theyre empty.
You walk through them and
your mind just races at all the
things that could be happen-
ing or what could be used in
that space.
State jobless rate takes slight loss in September
BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT The August unem-
ployment rate in Van Wert County took a
big tumble to 4.5 percent while the Allen
County rate fell even farther, losing one
full percentage point to 5.1 percent. The
September gures for each of Ohios 88
counties will be released on Tuesday, but
by the looks of the statewide report for
September, we should not expect much
change.
Ohios unemployment rate was down
one-tenth of a percentage point in Sep-
tember to 5.6 percent. Augusts rate
was 5.7 percent in the Buckeye State.
The number of jobs was up by 6,000
over the month to 5,303,400 in Septem-
ber while the number of unemployed
slipped by 5,000 during that month.
The number of unemployed in the re-
port is down to 319,000 in Ohio, which
is 110,000 fewer than 12 months prior.
The jobless rate in September 2013 was
7.4 percent.
The U.S. unemployment rate for Sep-
tember 2014 was 5.9 percent, down from
6.1 percent in August, and down from 7.2
percent in September 2013.
Ohio gained jobs in manufacturing
(+3,600), trade transportation, govern-
ment (+3,000), utilities (+4,400), and
construction (+1,000). Meanwhile the
private goods-producing section saw job
losses in educational and health services
(-2,100), professional and business ser-
vices (-3,600).
Over the past 12 months, manufactur-
ing jobs are up 11,500 while trade, trans-
portation and utilities increased by 5,800,
and educational and health services saw
9,200 job increase. Financial activities
employment lost 6,600 jobs since Sep-
tember 2013 while leisure and hospitality
decreased 6,200, and information servic-
es lost 2,400 jobs.

the same is the commitment of parishioners to making the fes-
tival a successful fundraiser for the parish and school.
Hundreds of volunteers will complete their tasks this week-
end from working in the kitchen preparing food, bussing ta-
bles for dine-in customers, lling carry-out trays and washing
dishes; selling tips to customers waiting in the carryout line;
working in the gymnasium at the rafe booths, Country Store

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
(AP) A Florida man con-
victed of rst-degree murder for
fatally shooting a teenager in an
argument over loud music out-
side a Jacksonville convenience
store was sentenced Friday to
life in prison without parole.
The life sentence imposed
by Circuit Judge Russell Healey
was mandatory for 47-year-old
Michael Dunn after prosecutors
decided not to seek the death
penalty.
Mr. Dunn, your life is ef-
fectively over, Healey said.
What is sad is that this case
exemplies that our society
seems to have lost its way.
Dunn was convicted of rst-
degree murder at a second trial
in September after jurors dead-
locked on the charge at his ini-
tial trial in February. Prosecu-
tors say Dunn, who is white,
red 10 times into a sport util-
ity vehicle carrying black teen-
agers in November 2012 and
killed 17-year-old Jordan Davis
of Marietta, Georgia.
Evidence showed that Dunn,
of Satellite Beach, red the
shots during a heated argu-
ment over the volume of music
coming from the SUV carrying
Davis and three other teenag-
ers. Dunn was convicted of
three counts of second-degree
murder in his rst trial because
he continued to re into the
Dodge Durango as the driver
tried to ee. Healey on Friday
sentenced him to a minimum
of 60 years in prison for those
charges, to be served consecu-
tively with the life sentence.
Dunn, who testied at both
trials, claimed he acted in self-
defense. Dunn told jurors that
he saw Davis roll down the win-
dow and ash what he believed
to be a gun after the two ex-
changed words. He contended
that he kept ring at the eeing
SUV to make sure no one shot
back at him.
At Fridays sentencing hear-
ing, Dunn apologized to Davis
parents.
I want the Davis family to
know that I truly regret what
happened. If I could roll back
time and do things differently, I
would, he said.

convenience store, was sentenced to life in prison

St. Mary of the Assumption
Catholic School visits zoo
On Thursday, Oct. 9, St. Mary of the Assumptions
Kindergarten, rst, and second grade students
took a eld trip to the Fort Wayne Childrens
zoo. The students are starting their science
units on animals and their habitats and used
this opportunity to see some animals up close
and in their own environments. The classes had
assignments to visit each of the three different
areas of the zoo; Australian Adventure, Indonesian
Rain Forest, and African Safari. At each of these
locations the students had to nd three animals
and identify them and their habitats. Students
brought this information back to school and are
working on some different project based learning
activities in the classroom. Hank Kopack, a
second grade student at St Marys, got a chance
to hold a ball python at the Ft. Wayne Childrens
Zoo. (Photo submitted)

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, October 18 & Sunday, October 19
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
He only received three months
of formal education after being ex-
pelled from school when his bored
and wandering mind made his teach-
er label him addled. Later, he had
recurring ear problems which even-
tually led to deafness. It was gener-
ally accepted the problems began
when he had scarlet fever as a child
but he insisted his loss of hearing
began when a conductor boxed him
on the ears after one of his experi-
ments blew up on a train. Because of
his familys lack of money, he started
a string of small businesses selling
candy and newspapers on trains and
vegetables on the streets.
Thomas Edison is known as The
Wizard of Menlo Park and person-
ally held nearly 1,100 patents during
his lifetime. However, his life was
anything but easy.
Born in Milan, Ohio, Edi-
sons family moved to Port Huron,
Michigan after the new railroad
line bypassed Milan. While work-
ing his little businesses, Edison
saved a three-year-old boy from be-
ing crushed to death by a runaway
train. The boys father was a local
telegraph operator so he taught the
young Edison how to be an operator.
By the age of 19, he was in Lou-
isville, Kentucky, working for West-
ern Union as a telegraph operator for
the Associated Press bureau news
wire. He worked the night shift by
request because that allowed him
to indulge his passions for read-
ing and experimenting. The latter
hobby eventually cost him his job.
While using sulfuric acid one night,
the bottle spilled over and the liquid
dripped between the oorboards and
onto his bosss desk on the oor be-
low.
But Edison had been bitten by
the inventing bug. He moved to New
Jersey to be a telegraph operator but
needed to live in the basement of a
fellow operators home because he
spent all his money on ideas. That all
ended when he received his rst pat-
ent in June of 1869 for an electronic
vote counter. He was 22 years-old.
A string of other patents quickly
followed, most of them improve-
ments on telegraph technology, but
the invention that thrust him into
the public eye forever was his inven-
tion of the phonograph in 1877. The
rst machine used tin foil wrapped
around a grooved cylinder and the
sound quality was horrible. But in
those days, the mere idea of recorded
sounds coming out of a wooden box
was so amazing, some people ac-
tually believed the invention to be
magical.
With the sale of his rst truly suc-
cessful invention the quadruplex
telegraph to his old employer West-
ern Union for $10,000 per unit he
started what might be his longest
lasting legacy, the rst industrial re-
search laboratory.
Before long, inventions were y-
ing out of Menlo Park with aston-
ishing regularity. The vast majority
of these inventions were improve-
ments over previous machines. For
instance, Edison was not the rst to
invent an incandescent light bulb.
He was, however, the rst to make
one that was commercially viable.
Before long, he had improved upon
his own invention, producing a bulb
with a low resistance lament inside
a high vacuum bulb which resulted in
a light that would burn for hundreds
of hours. At about the same time he
also came out with the carbon trans-
mitter that was used in telephones
until the 1980s.
Perhaps one of the lowest points
in Edisons career occurred over his
war with George Westinghouse and
power distribution. Edison was a big
proponent of direct current (DC) de-
livery and eventually built more than
100 Edison DC power stations across
the U.S.
Westinghouse, however, encour-
aged the use of alternating current
(AC) because it could be sent over
long distances on thinner, less ex-
pensive wires. DC, on the other
hand, could only be delivered over a
distance of about a mile and a half.
Westinghouse believed in the sys-
tem so much he paid for many of the
AC patents held by inventor Nikola
Tesla.
Edison tried a propaganda cam-
paign to convince government of-
cials and the public the AC was too
dangerous to use. He had employees
give public demonstrations where
they electrocuted animals using AC
current. To purport the allegation of
danger, Edison began a campaign
urging prisons to use AC electric
chairs for executions. Despite the
public relations push, Westinghouse
won and AC became the method of
choice for power distribution.
Edisons inventions ranged from a
uoroscopy which used x-rays to the
stock ticker to the kinetograph the
rst motion picture camera.
Here now is a reprint of the Oc-
tober 19, 1931, Van Wert Daily Bul-
letin article detailing the death of
the Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas
Edison.
Edison used rough childhood experiences to become the greatest inventor
West Orange, N. J., Oct. 19
(INS) - His memory as the greatest
scientist of the age mourned in ev-
ery country of the world, the body
of Thomas A. Edison lay in state
to-day in a glass topped bronze
casket in the lofty-ceilinged library
of the Edison laboratories. He died
at his home early Sunday.
Funeral services for the genius
who literally gave light to the world
were to be held at Glenmont, his
home here, Wednesday, the 52nd
anniversary of what perhaps was
the prolic inventors most bene-
cent gift to humanity - the incan-
descent light.
Only the family and close
friends of Edison were to be present
at the nal rites. President Hoover
was to attend the nal tribute to his
friend if he could make necessary
changes in his pre-arranged plans.
Harvey Firestone and Henry Ford
sent word they would present.
Burial will be at Milan, Ohio,
Edisons birthplace.
Elaborate arrangements were
completed to-day to handle the
thousands expected to le past Ed-
isons bier to-day and to-morrow
while his body lies in state. No ve-
hicular trafc was to be permitted
on the main street block on which
the laboratory stands. A rope was
strung for fty feet along the street
to permit persons to pass in single
le in and out of the library.
Flags on all the Edison compa-
ny buildings were ordered own at
half mast until after the funeral of
the man who harnessed electric-
ity to the purposes of mankind,
whose inventions made possible
modern miracles of telegraphy,
lighting, phonographs, moving
pictures and a myriad other prac-
tical devices.
The death of Edison, which
occurred at 3:24 a.m. Sunday
had been expected for days. The
enormous strength of his heart
made it possible for him to wage
an astounding battle against the
onset of the coma into which he
fell a few days before the end. It
had been known that there was no
hope he could withstand the rav-
ages of a complication of diseases
which climaxed in uremic poison-
ing.

This week in 1989, the At-
lantis-Galileo shuttle mission
continued to be threatened by
problems outside of mission
control. A few days after nu-
clear protesters had threatened
to break through security over
the use of plutonium-powered
electricity generators, weather
threatened to delay the launch
of the Atlantis shuttle. On
board was the Galileo space-
ship which was slated to be-
come the rst man made object
to orbit Jupiter. Galileo was
also tasked with studying sev-
eral of the moons of the planet.
The Miller family of Con-
voy was relieved to hear their
son and daughter were both in
good health after a 6.9 earth-
quake shook northern Cali-
fornia. Although the Millers
were okay, more than 270 peo-
ple had died in the initial event
and following aftershocks.
With telephone service and
electricity cut off in the most
severely hit areas, ofcials
said it would be days before
the full effect of the disaster
could be known. The earth-
quake also interrupted the
start of Game 3 of the World
Series.

the government. Although the
announcements all made the
decisions sound voluntary,
in reality Khrushchev had
been forced from his posi-
tion by Supreme Soviet head
Leonid Brezhnev and oth-
ers who found the premiers
policies too lenient. Unlike
many previous Soviet leaders
who were forced from ofce,
Khrushchev was allowed to
live and given a small pension
and apartment. His abrupt de-
parture from public life both-
ered him so much he sent his
memoirs to the West to be
published, despite objections
form the KGB.
Ground was broken in Van
Wert for the Chrysler Amplex
Division plant. Chrysler had
only made their rst ofcial
visit to Van Wert to look at pos-
sible locations on September 1,
so the beginning of construc-
tion on 45 days later showed
an extremely short turn around
time. Van Wert ofcials attrib-
uted their close relationships
with the Ohio Department of
Development and their pre-
planning with helping the proj-
ect to come together.
Fort Jennings Catholic
Ladies of Columbia held its
monthly meeting with 35 mem-
bers answering roll call. The
council expressed a special
thanks to Catherine Metzger
for making all arrangements
for the banquet held Oct. 6 at
Knotty Pine Inn. Mary Wittler
was presented a gift as the win-
ner of a year-long card tourna-
ment that was concluded.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, a Nazi
air attack on the British naval
base at the Firth of Forth was
followed by a torpedo attack
on the battle cruiser Repulse,
which was reportedly destroyed
in the action. At the same time
these attacks were being let
loose, German leader Adolf
Hitler released a statement
saying that French and British
refuse(d) to stop the war.
Work began in Van Wert to
the building formerly occupied
by the Jones & Tudor Bale Tie
Company on East Central Av-
enue. J&T had recently moved
to the Hennermann Building
in order to make way for a new
two-story, tile and brick build-
ing being built by owner Miss
Anne Hughes. The building
had begun life more than 70
years earlier as a livery.
Impressive candlelight ser-
vices were held by the Girls
Athletic Association in the
Jefferson High School audito-
rium for the formal initiation
of new members. New mem-
bers were: Phyllis Baird, Jane
Baxter, Eloise Bell, Margie
Blythe, Leota Bryan, Mary
K. Collette, Doris Clawson,
Juanita Claypool, Dorothy
Deffenbaugh, Pauline Dun-

Wednesday, Dollar Days, was a busy
time at the ofce of the Delphos Print-
ing and Publishing Company.
A special Dollar Day subscription
offer for the Delphos Twice-a-Week

response far exceeded all expectations.
Nearly 250 persons appeared at the
ofce and took advantage of the special
subscription offer and many others for-
warded remittance by mail.
A total of 460 responses were re-
ceived and of this number 259 were not
Courant subscribers.

Boatmans Troubles
The canal boat Nina with Capt. Wm.
Potter, met with an obstacle Sunday
as a cargo of bolts were taken through
town for the Delphos Hoop Co. When
the craft was drawn up to the Second
street bridge there was no one there to
raise the bridge and the key to unlock it
was missing. Some time ago, the trac-
tion line made some improvement on
the bridge, making it much heavier and
virtually taking it under their supervi-
sion. John Schooley, the bridge tender,
asked the traction company to compen-
sate him for his work there, but was
refused and as a result turned the key
over to Frank Edson, one of the trac-
tion line workers. Capt. Potter was not
in the best of moods when he learned
that the bridge was locked against him,
but after about one and a half hours de-
lay the key was located in G.A. Hogues
ofce in the Fisher Block. The bridge
was raised but Capt. Potters troubles
did not end there. When his boat was
towed to the Penna. railroad there was
another delay. The mules had the line
across the tracks but the bridge tender
there refused to open up because of the
fact the fast train was due. A canal of-
cial happened along about that time
and it was not long until the bridge was
opened, thus delaying the fast train sev-
eral minutes. The canal, though obso-
lete, has some rights left. It was here
rst, and it can make the new-fangled
traveler play second ddle.

Bour Bros.
Brick Yard
Bour Bros., who sold their brickyard
in South Delphos some time ago and
went to Lima, have evidently struck it
rich, as the Lima Times-Democrat says,
Bour Bros., who purchased the Gott-
fried brickyard about two years ago,
have under way plans for an immense
plant to be located about a mile from
the city, on the Cairo road, which is an
extension of West street. It is their in-
tention to abandon the Metcalf Street
yards, and construct the new plant to be
operated winter and summer. They will
manufacture a ne quality of hard brick
and expect to spend about $20,000 in
preparations.

Associated Press
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) Immigration ofcials say lo-
cal authorities across the U.S. released thousands of immigrants
from jails this year despite efforts to take them into federal cus-
tody, including more than 3,000 with previous felony charges or
convictions.
The numbers are the rst time federal immigration authori-
ties have publicly detailed how many times local agencies have
refused to comply with their requests. They highlight the fric-
tion between the federal government and police and sheriffs de-
partments, some of which say holding immigrants beyond their
release dates harms community policing efforts.
Immigration ofcials say the denials pose a public safety
threat as immigrants who previously would have been placed in
federal custody once they were eligible to leave jail are being re-
leased into communities where they could commit new crimes.
In the rst eight months of this year, immigration agents led
roughly 105,000 requests for local agencies to hold immigrants
for up to 48 hours after they were eligible for release on the al-
legations for which they initially were arrested, said Virginia
Kice, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforce-
ment. The agents wanted the immigrants held so they could take
them into federal custody and start deportation proceedings.
Local law enforcement agencies declined 8,800 such re-
quests, also known as detainers, during the same period. Those
released include people arrested for investigation of domestic
violence and drug charges, as well as others detained on lesser
offenses but who had past convictions for crimes such as assault
with a deadly weapon, Kice said.
Across the country, many local agencies no longer are will-
ing to hold jailed immigrants beyond their scheduled release
dates. They say immigrants should not be held longer than U.S
citizens for the same crime, and turning them over to ICE cre-
ates an atmosphere of distrust among community members.
Colorado stopped honoring detainers earlier this year, and
New York City is considering doing the same.
In California, local law enforcement agencies scaled back
their collaboration with ICE to comply with a state law that took
effect this year limiting the use of immigration detainers. After
a federal court in nearby Oregon ruled a womans constitutional
rights were violated when she was held in jail without probable
cause, some agencies stopped honoring the requests altogether.
Five Southern California counties no longer honor ICEs
requests, said David Marin, deputy eld ofce director for the
agencys enforcement and removal operations in the greater Los
Angeles area. He said hes shifted at least 40 agents from screen-
ing and transporting arrestees to teams working in the eld to
track down immigrants they believe are in the country illegally.

NEW YORK (AP) Eu-
ropes economy sputters, oil
prices plunge and stocks start
swinging wildly. Wall Streets
long dormant fear index
now predicts more turbulence
ahead.
The Chicago Board Op-
tions Exchanges volatil-
ity index, known as the VIX,
doubled over the past month:
from 12 to 26. Although thats
nowhere near the 80 reached
in the nancial crisis, the re-
cent spike means traders are
bracing for more big jumps
and steep drops.
Slowing growth in Europe
and the developing world has
stirred up lingering doubts
among investors just as the
Federal Reserve plans to wind
down a bond-buying program
that many considered a driv-
ing force behind the stock
markets ve-year run.
Traders have knocked the
Standard & Poors 500 index
down 4 percent this month
and retreated into their old
hiding spots, U.S. and Ger-
man government bonds.
All of a sudden, Wall
Streets fear gauge looks rel-
evant again.
Weve gone from the
S&P 500 hitting all-time
highs to losing all its gains
for the year in just a month
and a half, said JJ Kina-
han, TD Ameritrades chief
strategist, referring to the
benchmark index for U.S.
stocks. There has been a
sea change in how people are
viewing the market.
The past week was espe-
cially turbulent. As markets
plunged Wednesday, the
VIX reached levels last seen
in June 2012, when worries
about the European debt cri-
sis gripped global markets
and the U.S. economys t-
ful growth kept investors on
edge. By Friday, as markets
rallied, it slid back to 20
its historical average.
The index gained popular-
ity during the nancial crisis
in 2008. With the global econ-
omy looking shaky, the fear
index seemed to offer a use-
ful look at what Wall Street
insiders thought would hap-
pen next. The VIX is based
on prices for S&P 500 options
contracts to buy or sell
the stock index at a later date
and measures how much
traders expect the stock mar-
ket will move in the next 30
days. When the stock market
slumps, traders rush to take
out insurance in the form of
options contracts, pushing the
VIX up.
Its like the house is on
re, so you run to an insur-
ance agent, Kinahan said.

LONDON (AP) The
World Health Organization
bungled efforts to halt the
spread of Ebola in West Af-
rica, an internal report revealed
Friday, as President Barack
Obama named a trusted po-
litical adviser to take control of
Americas frenzied response to
the epidemic.
The stepped-up scrutiny of
the international response came
as U.S. ofcials rushed to cut
off potential routes of infec-
tion from three cases in Texas,
reaching a cruise ship in the Ca-
ribbean and multiple domestic
airline ights. Republican law-
makers and the Obama admin-
istration debated the value of re-
stricting travelers from entering
the U.S. from countries where
the outbreak began, without a
resolution.
But with Secretary of State
John Kerry renewing pleas for
a collective, global response
to a disease that has already
killed more than 4,500 people
in Africa, the WHO draft report
pointed to serious errors by an
agency designated as the inter-
national communitys leader in
coordinating response to out-
breaks of disease.
The document found that
WHO missed chances to pre-
vent Ebola from spreading
soon after it was rst diag-
nosed in Liberia, Sierra Leone
and Guinea last spring.
WASHINGTON (AP)
Federal Reserve Chair Janet
Yellen sounded an alarm Fri-
day about widening economic
inequality in the United States,
suggesting that Americas long-
standing identity as a land of
opportunity was at stake.
The growing gap between
the rich and everyone else nar-
rowed slightly during the Great
Recession but has since acceler-
ated, Yellen said in a speech at
a conference in Boston on eco-
nomic opportunity. And robust
stock market returns during the
recovery helped the wealthy
outpace middle-class America
in wages, employment and
home prices.
The extent and continuing
increase in inequality in the
United States greatly concerns
me, Yellen said. By some
estimates, income and wealth
inequality are near their high-
est levels in the past hundred
years.
Yellens extensive comments
on economic inequality marked
an unusual public departure for
a Fed chair. Her predecessors
as head of the U.S. central bank
tended to focus exclusively on
the core Fed issues of interest
rates, ination and unemploy-
ment. Indeed, the Feds man-
date doesnt explicitly include
issues like income or wealth
disparities.
Yellen greatly
concerned by
inequality

I dont know about you, but
it disturbs me to have to move
a reindeer or snowman to get
to the Halloween decorations
on store shelves.
Im the type of person that
likes to take things one at a
time. To my way of thinking, I
should be able to buy a swim-
suit in July, when I might need
one, not in February when Im
still sloshing through snow.
I cant quite get in the mood
to try on a winter coat in Au-
gust, either. Need gloves, a hat
or scarf in January when its
-5 degrees? Forget it, unless
there happens to be some in
the bottom of the bargain bin
behind the ip ops and sun-
screen.
The retail rush sometimes
puts me in a panic. Im brows-
ing in a store, minding my
own business, and I run into a
Christmas display. Immedi-
ately I break out into a sweat. I
havent even started my Christ-
mas shopping or made my card
list. Aaaargh! Then I realize its
only October and I have more
pressing matters to attend to.
My pumpkins arent carved and
the goodies we will be hand-
ing out for trick or treat need
bagged. I may be done putting
the nishing touches on the
decorations when its time to
take them down.
Halloween is one of my
favorite holidays. If I had a
more adventurous better half,
I would still dress up each
year and hit the festivities.
Who doesnt like pretending
to be someone else, if just for
a little while?
Ghosts, goblins, the new
costume craze (I have a feel-
ing I will be seeing a lot of
characters from Frozen this
year and maybe a Boxtroll
or two), witches, zombies;
who knows what will happen
upon my doorstep begging for
treats.
After the spider webs and
pumpkins go by the way-
side, Ill start decorating for
Thanksgiving. I dont do a lot:
a few well-placed leaves and
the like. Just enough to know
that the holidays and my life
are moving along.
Theres Thanksgiving din-
ner to prepare for and the
Black Friday shopping frenzy
that has somehow now started
the week before. Give me a
break!
By the time I get the lone
new box of lights out we
bought last year so I can nd
matches, they will all be gone
because I did not have the
foresight to shop for them last
week while getting the last
of my Halloween candy. My
lights will not match and it
will bother me for ve or six
weeks until they come down
in January or February, when-
ever the snow melts sufcient-
ly to bring them in the house
and not have to string them
around to dry.
Well, enough of that. In
the next few days I will carve
my pumpkins and check
each morning to make sure
they havent fallen victim to
a vicious pumpkin-smashing
incident. Ill bag up the awe-
some trick or treat offerings
we found and make sure the
candy dishes are replenished
with spooky treats for us.
The leaves will begin to
cover the ground and make
that great crunching sound
when you walk on them. A
sound totally different than
snow underfoot, which I like,
also.
There will be the heavenly
aroma of backyard res and
spiced cider and pumpkin this
or that. Mmmm. I can almost
close my eyes and smell it.
Well, back to reality. I
guess I could wear a Santa hat
as a costume.
It seems like three-quarters
of my job involves contacting
people. I need those people to
get information to me or else
I need to get information to
them. And one day as I was
exchanging contact informa-
tion with someone else, I re-
alized how many ways we
have to get in touch with one
another.
Ill use myself as an ex-
ample since Im always need-
ing to get a hold of myself.
(Pause.) I have a cell phone.
That comes with a phone
number and your garden va-
riety telephone. I do not have
a land line since I really cant
think of a reason to have one. I
dont need some doofus with a
phone book calling me up ask-
ing for a campaign contribu-
tion or wanting to sell me win-
dows. So one telephone will
do me ne, thank you. That is,
unless you count the phones of
each of my three kids and my
one wife.
Now, if you limit yourself
to my own phone number,
you can call me to talk, or
you can send me a text mes-
sage. Frankly, I use texts so
frequently I will occasionally
forget to speak when answer-
ing that vocal phone. Texts
are easier because I can text
in a quiet meeting without
disturbing anyone else, and I
can answer when Im ready to
answer. If thats three minutes
between comments, so be it!
Its not a vocal conversa-
tion, I dont have to rush to
keep the conversation mov-
ing. But if a vocal exchange
is needed (and occasionally it
is), there is the voicemail op-
tion. In my generation, we all
learned to use voicemail easily
because we originally learned
to use those home answer-
ing machines. We understand
the concept on voicemail. We
know that you dont break un-
welcome news via voicemail.
You dont leave a message
like, Ed, I needed to tell you
that your car has ebola. You
leave a vague message so you
can utter those words directly
to me.
A recorded voice is how
I listen to Elvis Presley. If
youre alive, I can move you
up on the priority list. Back in
the day, people would screen
calls with answering ma-
chines, needing the caller to
announce oneself and the in-
tention of the call before mak-
ing the decision whether to
answer the call or make fun of
the caller while the message is
being recorded.
Now, screening calls is
unnecessary because our
phones announce who is
calling and even show the
callers picture. Its to the
point where voicemail is
barely used anymore because
if I know that Phil called, Ill
call him back. I dont need to
listen to a recording of Phil
telling me his name, what
time it is, and that he wants
me to call him back. I knew
all that by looking at the call
log on my phone. In the list
of calls, it says Phil called,
what time Phil called, so
then I call him back.

ON THE
OTHER
HAND
Communication isnt hard
Can I just carve my pumpkins?
With all of the news focusing on the spread of Ebola and the
movement of ISIS as the terrorists continue to attack and take
control of territories in the Middle East, you may have missed
the to-do brewing in Houston.
Recently the City of Houston passed a non-discrimination
ordinance which included a clause that stated if a biological
man felt like he was really a woman, then he could use the
female public restrooms (and vice versa for a woman). The or-
dinance was championed by the citys rst openly lesbian may-
or. A petition against the ordinance gathered more than 50,000
signatures but was thrown out due to a legal technicality. In
response, a lawsuit was led against the ordinance, trying to
have it repealed. In reaction to the lawsuit, the city led sub-
poenas seeking copies of all the sermons of at least ve Hous-
ton preachers that spoke about the lawsuit and the petition from
the pulpit. Also included in the subpoena requests were emails
and other private correspondence that discussed the subjects.
Mayor Annise Parker called the preachers and sermons fair
game if they delved into those areas - even if the objections
were religiously based.
After a dressing down from the Texas attorney general, the
subpoenas were amended yesterday to change sermons to
speeches.
We have several issues with this case, but not with the part
that has been drawing the most news time. We have heard and
read many commentators who have gone on about how request-
ing copies of the sermons is a violation of freedom of religion.
We disagree. A sermon is a public declaration and as such
has no reasonable expectation of privacy. In fact, every pastor
we have ever known wants as many people as possible to hear
their sermons. But asking for them sure is not smart.
The questions immediately begin once the Houston ofcials
have the copies in their hands. What actions will they take? If
they attempt in anyway to discourage the pastors from deliver-
ing religious-based sermons - perhaps by threatening to revoke
their non-prot status - then they are infringing upon not only
their freedom of religion but also their freedom of speech. If
they attempt to use the sermons as some sort of an intimidation
tactic, then the same applies.
Also, the subpoenas for the private messages are incorrect
in every way possible because of one important factor: the pas-
tors are not a part of the lawsuit.
Let us write that again: The pastors are not a part of the
lawsuit and yet the city has requested their private messages.
This is a slippery slope the Houston ofcials have stepped
on and they may not like where it eventually lands them. If we
allow government ofcials to squelch legal protests, stomp on
the freedom to practice religious beliefs, and silence the guar-
anteed rights of freedom of speech, then where does the taking
of freedoms stop?
There is no good end for the path the Houston ofcials have
taken. Any action they begin once they have copies of the ser-
mons can be construed as restricting freedoms. As a group,
the LGBT community should understand the importance of
maintaining those rights at all costs because they have needed
to ght against those kinds of restrictions for their whole lives.
Instead, it appears Mayor Parker is attempting to use the same
tools in revenge against her opponents that were used against
her in the past. But as is always the case - two wrongs do not
make a right.
Two wrongs are
not so right
To the editor,
In Kasichs rst term, he attacked working
families by removing the right to bargain for
public workers. I have two sisters-in-law who
are teachers. I have two sons that are public
employees. One is a reghter the other is a
state trooper.
The working people of this great state
stopped Kasich by voting and returning the
right to bargain back in place for these work-
ing families. If Kasich is re-elected, it will be
his last term. To help his rich friends, I fear he
will again attack working people.
My sons protect the families of this great
state. They will risk their lives in this service.
How cowardly is Kasich to take their right to sit
at a bargaining table away and not allow them to
protect their benefits and their families?
We must vote for people who care about
working people not people who take tax dol-
lars from our communities, schools and our
children.

To the editor,
It has come to my attention that there
has been misinformation concerning the
Latch Key Service at Tender Times. I
ride the school bus every morning and
afternoon as a volunteer. At no time was
a student ever sitting in the aisle. The
school bus has never been overcrowded;
the maximum capacity is 66 students.
Bus 9 averages 43, the least amount be-
ing 32, the most was 48. I count every
day. No student has ever stood in an aisle
while the school bus was in route.
Most of the 17 Latchkey students rid-
ing Bus 9 from the center have attended
Tender Times Toddler, Pre-school and
Pre-K classes. The parents of these chil-
dren asked if Tender Times could provide
after-school transportation as some par-
ents still had younger children attending.
I offered to take on this challenge
thinking I could use my van for transpor-
tation. As the numbers grew, this became
impossible. Tender Times has a waiting
list for parents wanting their children to
attend. We then went to the superinten-
dent and after he discussed the situation
with both school bus drivers, they agreed
to pick our students up at the center re-
gardless that the center is in Delphos City
limits. These were the reasons:
Tender Times is on the route.
School Bus 9 had seating averaging
only 28 students before Tender Times
students would be picked up.
It costs the taxpayer of Delphos no
additional amount of money for gas, sala-
ry or maintenance to provide this service.
The school bus route was not changed
to accommodate Tender Times students,
the routes were changed before Tender
Times students were involved because of
combining another bus route. This is the
only reason students are arriving home a
few minutes later this year.

Kick Kasich out!
Pharmacy completes
Give Back program
Volunteer speaks out
opin1
John Kasich is going to win re-election as
Ohios governor in a few weeks. If he doesnt,
it will be the biggest popular vote surprise
since Barabbas. Down 22 points in some polls,
his opponent all but gave up
months ago and has been send-
ing his nancial support to oth-
er candidates. Nevertheless, it is
imperative for conservatives to
show at the polls and cast their
votes for Kasich.
A narrow victory for an in-
cumbent candidate is a warn-
ing. A landslide victory is a
mandate. After a narrow vic-
tory over Ted Strickland to win
his rst term, John Kasich started out as if he
had a mandate only to quickly learn that the 49
percent that didnt vote for him were willing
to ght.
Emboldened by the edgling Tea Party
movement in 2010, Kasich took ofce eager
to transform Ohio into an incubator for small
government policy. Like Scott Walker in Wis-
consin, he set about the necessary but unpleas-
ant task of challenging the right of public
unions to collective bargain. Unlike Walker,
Kasich included policeman and reghters in
his challenge.
Walker has won in Wisconsin so far, if you
call constant death threats and the invasion of
Madison by foul-smelling beatniks winning.
Kasichs initiative, however, proved a bridge
too far. Ohio voters repealed it by referendum
a year into his rst term. The loss slowed Ka-
sich but didnt stop him as he proceeded to bal-
ance the budget anyway.
Opponents may argue that he balanced said
budget by cuts in funding to local government.
As a member of local government, Ill say that
well nd a way to get by. I think the saying
goes Everybody wants to go to heaven but
nobody wants to die. So it goes with cutting
government handouts. If local voters want to
fund local government more, they always have
that option and isnt that where the option
should be anyway?
Under Kasichs leadership, Ohios budget
was balanced while its income tax was slashed
and its inheritance tax eliminated. There is no
reason for wealth to ee to Florida anymore,
although the wealthy cold still might. Fur-
ther, the over-collection by the Ohio Bureau
of Workers Compensation has been properly
returned to employers.
All of this makes Ohio more attractive for
business and investment. A criticism of Kasich
is that all the jobs being created during his ad-
ministration are in the big cities. Well, that may
be so far. But the things he has
accomplished and the things a
landslide election mandate will
allow are critical to counties
like ours that border Indiana, a
right-to-work state with private
insurance for workers compen-
sation. Why is Honda in Indi-
ana and not here? Math.
Kasich hasnt been a con-
servative robot he has some-
times let common sense trump
bravado. His base questioned his Medicaid
expansion. But some perspective: By passing
enabling legislation as Ohio did, the expansion
can be easily undone after the initial commit-
ment. If the referendum process would have
been used to expand Medicaid, as it was used
to protect public unions, it would have been a
much more difcult thing to undo as Obam-
acare falls apart over time.
Perhaps more questionable to diehard con-
servatives lately is the allowance of Common
Core education into our state. This has led to a
protest-vote campaign against Kasich this fall.
I sympathize with those who wish to purge the
party of collaborators and RINOs (Republi-
cans In Name Only) the Democrats didnt
create a $17 trillion debt by themselves. But
I would urge some measure of trust for Ka-
sich, who, otherwise, has made the ghts he
was elected to make in his rst term. I would
further urge the opponents of Common Core
to mimic the public unions and use the refer-
endum process. (Stop by for my signature if
you do.)
This election needs to be a mandate, not
only for the sake of Ohio, but for the sake of
Van Wert County. Ohio needs right-to-work
legislation, privatization of workers com-
pensation insurance, and elimination of the
income tax. Seven states have no income tax
all seven are in the top ten of Forbes maga-
zines Most Business Friendly States.
Kasich will win the election thats not the
point. If the conservative base wants second
term accomplishments, it needs to be a land-
slide.

When you review recent
Muslim history, it is fair to
ask: Can a good Muslim still
be a good, loyal American?
Wed like to believe it is, but
weve also got to consider
the warning of militant Is-
lamic leaders: we will de-
stroy America from within.
You cant read a news-
paper, watch TV or check
your smartphone news up-
dates without hearing about
the latest savage, barbaric
atrocities being carried out
by jihadist extremists is Syr-
ia, Iraq, Turkey and a host of
other trouble spots around
the world.
It only makes sense for
Americans to be suspicious
and wary of the warnings ex-
pressed by followers of ISIS,
ISIL, al-Qaeda, the Kho-
rasan group and other mur-
derous organizations. You
can Bing Muslim Atrocities
Against America for a list
of recent brutal aggressions.
Here are a few examples.
In 2013, the Boston Mara-
thon bombing, in 2002,
reporter Daniel Pearl was
kidnapped and beheaded, on
9/11/01 four airliners were
hijacked and used to kill over
3,000 people, in 1988, the
U.S. embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania were bombed, in
1993 the World Trade Center
was bombed the rst time, in
1988 Pan Am Flight 103 was
bombed, in 1985 TWA ight
847 was hijacked at Athens.
All of these events were car-
ried out by Muslim males.
President Obama says the
United States is not at war
with Islam and no religion
condones the killing of inno-
cents. ISIL is a terrorist or-
ganization, pure and simple.
Stephen Prothero, a re-
ligious studies professor at
Boston University, writes
every religion has bad
guys. Not every believer is
a saint. Every religion has
good guys. Not every be-
liever is a terrorist.
Ive been asked in per-
son, and via emails, why our
American Muslims are so
quiet and not speaking out
about the atrocities being
waged in the name of Islam.
Are they afraid their fami-
lies in the homelands will be
retaliated against? Are there
other reasons?
I checked several sources
and learned there are 1.6 bil-
lion Muslims worldwide, 23
percent of the population.
There are over 10,000 liv-
ing in Wisconsin. There are
over 2,500 mosques in the
U.S., including over 25 in
Wisconsin. States with the
most mosques are New York,
California and Texas.
No one is saying all
Muslims are bad, but many
Americans have a healthy
concern about the Muslim
immigration trend. Should
we worry that the mosques
are a sanctuary for sleeper
cells and lone wolf terror-
ists?
America protects a per-
sons right to practice all
forms of religion. But, are
Muslims able to exploit this
freedom at the peril of other
Americans? Muslims have
used their religion to get
special treatment and avoid
certain forms of proling.
Proling, after all, is a legiti-
mate police tactic.
Americans fear the Islam-
ic war against America, and
her allies, is a religious war.
We need to understand and
be mindful that a religious
war is bigger than we know
or understand. We must re-
alize the Muslim world has
been aficted with economic
stagnation for many centu-
ries and has a hatred for the
United States.
Former CIA analyst Mi-
chael Scheuer argues that
terrorist attacks against
Americans are not motivated
by a religiously inspired ha-
tred of American culture or
religion, but by the belief
that U.S. foreign policy has
oppressed, killed, or other-
wise harmed Muslims in the
Middle East.
As a result, Scheuer says,
They hate us for what we
do, not who we are. Either
way, they want to bring death
to our doorsteps.
An unidentied man, who
worked in Saudi Arabia for
20 years, offered his opin-
ion and knowledge in an-
swer to the question: can a
good Muslim also be a good
American. Here is what he
had to say.
Theologically no. Be-
cause his allegiance is to Al-
lah, the moon god of Arabia.
Religiously no. Be-
cause no other religion is ac-
cepted by His Allah except
Islam. (Quran, 2:256)
Scripturally no. Be-
cause his allegiance is to the
ve Pillars of Islam and the
Quran.
Geographically no.
Because his allegiance is to
Mecca, to which he turns to
in prayer ve times a day.
Socially no. Because
his allegiance to Islam for-
bids him to make friends
with Christians or Jews.
Politically no. Because
he must submit to the mul-
lahs, who teach annihilation
of Israel and destruction of
America, the great Satan.
Domestically no. Be-
cause he is instructed to mar-
ry four women and beat and
scourge his wife when she dis-
obeys him. (Quran 4:34)
Intellectually no. Be-
cause he cannot accept the
American Constitution since
it is based on Biblical princi-
ples and he believes the Bible
to be corrupt.
Philosophically no.
Because Islam, Muhammad,
and the Quran does not al-
low freedom of religion and
expression. Democracy and
Islam cannot co-exist. Every
Muslim government is either
dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually no. Because
when we declare one nation
under God, The Christians
God is loving and kind, while
Allah is NEVER referred to
as Heavenly father, nor is he
ever called love in the Qurans
99 excellent names.
Its a dangerous world we
live in. We must be on guard
at all times.

for the Delphos children, it is not manda-

Tender Times has 21 adult volunteers
from four area churches supporting this

To the editor,
If America is going to send our troops into
harms way, the only way, is to kill every moth-
ers son of ISIS.
No time to separate the sheep from the goats
or the wheat from tares. Terminate all our en-
emies before they do it to us. P.S. Our enemies
hate us.
They will not just kill our loved loves but will
torture and rape as well.
At least Americans just kill our enemies. Its
awful, its horrible, but thats the cold-hearted
truth.
I say attack Islam and all Islamic nations that
follow, practice and teach Mohammedanism.
The time is now for Americans, not our cowardly
government ofcials, to speak and stand up and
arm up. Patriots of America arise. If the true pa-
triots dont stand and verbally demand total and
complete military action against our Muslim op-
pressors, our children, our elderly and we our-
selves will die long and horrible deaths.

October is National
Domestic Violence Month
By Mary Callow
In Van Wert County, we
celebrate the 35th anniversary
of the House of Transition a
shelter for victims of domestic
violence women and chil-
dren a place of rest and free-
dom from abuse and a place
to plan for the future.
The staff is very well
trained and periodically at-
tend workshops and meetings
that keep them up to date on
the legal rights of victims.
They believe in what they are
doing and never say if I were
you, I would. They just in-
form the victim of their rights
and let her make up her mind.
They work hand-in-hand. Van
Wert County Victim Services
are available to help them
with any legal work that must
be done. There is much to be
done to protect this victims
future and they are well quali-
ed to inform them.
Long before there was a
House of Transition, there was
a Crisis Care Line for victims
of domestic violence, abuse
and rape. This line was open
around the clock it was all
volunteer. Victims were shel-
tered out of town and out in
the county. It wasnt the safest
place but it was all we could
do. Time passed and eventu-
ally, after many garage sales,
nancial help from friends
and churches, the Van Wert
County Foundation, United
Way and grants from Co-
lumbus but mostly the help
from a local bank the House
of Transition was opened. At
last we got it all together. The
women in the county donated
appliances, Charlie Willi-
man donated furniture and
many times food, Dale Da-
vies helped us with food. Ace
Hardware donated paint and
many things to help us and
Mr. Schumm checked the fur-
nace and did so much to help
us.
My personal thought:
At this time, I wish I could
personally thank those people
who supported us nancially
and gave their time on the Cri-
sis Care Line. Places like the
churches with their nancial
support, groceries, clothing
and especially their prayers. I
feel we are very lucky to have
a great police and sheriff de-
partments. This is the most
dangerous call they can go
on. Although we have worked
very hard, domestic violence
is one of and remains the most
serious crime under-reported
human rights violation in our
country. This crime sends
more women to the emer-
gency room than for any other
reason.
Last, but not least, these are
the silent victims the chil-
dren. If these beatings dont
stop and nobody helps, their
world collapses. They have
no power and they learn that
people they love have a right
to hurt them. They wonder if
their father has a right to vent
his anger just to keep the fam-
ily in line.
If you are a victim please
know that the help you need is
as close as your ngertip just
dial 9-1-1-.

Lippi, Zaleski lead Knights to come-from-behind win
BY JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
CONVOY A late game bad snap helped
Ada hand Crestview the Knights rst loss of
the year last weekend. On Friday evening, as
the Knights hosted Spencerville, a low snap
on an extra-point try wound up as a Preston
Zaleski-to Alex Cunningham 2-point conver-
sion and Crestview captured a 22-21 win over
the Bearcats.
Football is a heck of a game, Crestview
coach Jared Owens admitted, acknowledging
the ups and downs of the season.
In a game dominated by the ground attacks
of the top two rushing offenses in the North-
west Conference, it was an adjustment by the
Knights that turned the fortunes of the contest.
For a quarter-and-a-half, the Bearcats dom-
inated, with Zack Goecke, the conferences
leading rusher, gaining 123 rst-half yards on
only 12 carries. The Bearcats took the opening
kickoff and marched right down the eld, with
Trevor McMichael scoring to cap off a 12-play,
85-yard drive that chewed up better than ve-
and-a-half minutes of clock.
After a Crestview punt, Spencerville was
on the march again when quarterback Mason
Nourses pass was picked off by Dylan Grand-
staff. What should have been a momentum
swinger for the Knights ended up the other
way. On Crestviews rst offensive snap fol-
lowing the interception, Zaleski was brought
down in the backeld and Spencerville recov-
ered a fumble on the play, putting the Bearcats
offense back on the eld.
It took just ve plays for the Bearcats to go
26 yards to pay dirt, with Goecke nishing the
drive from six yards out. With 11:54 to play in
the rst half, the Bearcats led 14-0.
After the teams exchanged possessions
again, the Knights nally found some suc-
cess moving the ball. Taking over with 7:51
to play before halftime, Crestview reeled off
a 15-play drive that featured two fourth-down
conversions and ended with Jake Lippi bulling
his way into the end zone from six yards out.
Lippi, who came into the contest with just 42
carries on the year, hauled the rock 10 times
before halftime and had 52 yards before the
intermission.
Lippis score with 37 seconds left in the
half pulled Crestview to within 14-7, but that
was enough time for the Bearcats to answer.
Goeckes 51-yard run put Spencerville in po-
sition, and Nourse found a wide-open Calvin
Wilson for an 18-yard strike and the Bearcats
held a commanding 21-7 lead at the break.
In the second half, it was all Knights.
Though they didnt score on the possession,
Crestview opened the third quarter with a 16-
play drive that took over seven minutes off the
clock. Though the Bearcats went three-and-
out, their punt was downed at the Knight one
yard line.
With the clock nearing the end of the third
quarter and still trailing by 14, Crestview had
99 yards to go to reach the end zone.
Behind the efforts of Lippi and the Knight
offensive line, Crestview eventually got there.
Lippi and Zaleski worked the two-man op-
tion game to perfection during the drive, and
Lippi eventually scored his second touchdown,
pulling Crestview back to within one score at
21-14.
With 6:36 left in the game, Spencerville
needed to eat some clock. With a rushing at-
tack that averages nearly 400 yards per night,
that seemed like no problem. After Goecke
was thrown for a loss of rst down, however,
Bearcat coach John Zerbe surprised everyone
in the stadium by calling a pass play on sec-
ond down. An under-thrown ball to a wide-
open receiver resulted in an incompletion, but
the Bearcats went to air again on third down.
Nourses pass was too long this time and the
clock stopped again as Spencerville was forced
to punt.
Jefferson forces way to 33-point rout of Vikings
BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor

DELPHOS Jefferson scored in
a number of ways Friday night in-
cluding two defensive touchdowns
routing Evergreen 49-16 in non-league
grid action at windy Stadium Park.
In addition to those defensive
scores, Jefferson (6-2) held the Vi-
kings (2-6) to minus 31 yards rushing
and forced seven turnovers.
Defensively, we played well
throughout the game. We forced the
turnovers and got to the football well,
Jefferson coach Chris Sommers said.
We made some mistakes, especially
the rst half thats part of football.
We made the adjustments we needed
to make at the half and began to ex-
ecute better, like were used to.
After forcing a three-and-out on
the games rst possession, Nick
Etues punt into the wind gave the
Wildcats possession at their 47. From
there, Jace Stockwell ran a play-action
pass and found Mike Cline down the
left seam. He out-fought the defender
for the pigskin at the 25 and nished it
off in the end zone. Kurt Wollenhaupt
added the point-after-touchdown for a
7-0 edge at 10:36 of the rst.
After getting the ball back on
downs at the Evergreen 37, Jefferson
reached the 5 despite a chop block
penalty but Cline was stopped just
short of the 1 on fourth down.
Again with a short eld on the en-
suing punt the Evergreen 38 the
Wildcats were again stopped three
yards short on 4th-and-goal at the 5.
On the next Viking play, Etue (21-
of-37, 217 yards, 6 interceptions, 2
TDs) dropped back, but his pass was
deected by the interior of the defen-
sive line, caromed up and end Drew
Wannemacher grabbed it in the end
zone for the touchdown. Wollenhaupt
added the kick for a 14-0 edge at 1:24
of the opener.
Evergreen briey garnered Del-
phos space, reaching the 44, on its
next drive but had to punt, with Josh
Teman returning it 23 yards.
On play two at the Viking 46, Vi-
king senior Brett Smallman recov-
ered a fumble. However, Evergreen
returned the favor as Trevor Dudgeon
picked off a tipped pass at the 27.
Evergreens next drive started at
the Delphos 49 and reached the 20.
On the next play, Etue dropped the
shotgun snap and junior Dalton Hicks
picked it up at the 25, went right and
tore down the sideline for the 75-yard
score with 1:33 left in the half. Wol-
lenhaupt made it 21-0.
A punt, a recovered fumble by Ev-
ergreens Kade Salyers and a Teman
pick ended the half.
Peyton Pawlaczyk picked up a
Delphos fumble on the second play
of the second half at the Delphos 42
and Evergreen needed four plays to
get on the board. At the 27, Etue found
Jon Milliken down the left seam; the
sophomore out-fought the defender for
possession and the score. Etue found
Kyle Brighton for the 2-pointer and a
21-8 decit with 10:26 left in the third.
Ryan Goergens returned the short
kick 20 yards to the Evergreen 47 to
set Delphos up. Six plays later, at the
three, Cline busted up the gut to pay
dirt. Wollenhaupts kick was wide for a
27-8 edge with 8:34 to go in the period.
Jays roll past Parkway
BY LARRY HEIING

ROCKFORD Its been four years since Parkway and St.
Johns met on the football eld.
The two teams got reacquainted Friday night in Rockford
as the Blue Jays came away with the 43-12 victory in Midwest
Athletic Conference action.
St. Johns took the opening kickoff and went on a 13-play,
67-yard drive. The Blue Jays rst play went for a rst down as
Austin Heiing rambled for 11 yards. A pitch from Nick Martz
to Aaron Reindel moved the ball to mideld. A keeper from
Martz was good for another rst down to the 35. Martz found
Eric Vogt open downeld two plays later as he fought his way
down to the two. Hays found the end zone with 5:41 remaining
in the rst with a 1-yard run. The extra point was no good as
the Jays led 6-0 early.
Cougars rush to one-sided victory over Deance
BY NICK JOHNSON
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT Deance came
into the contest at Van Wert on Fri-
day night allowing over 43 points per
game during its 0-7 start to the year.
The Cougars cleared that bar at Eg-
gerss Stadium, posting a 45-14 West-
ern Buckeye League win.
We expected to play well, and
Deance has been struggling, Van
Wert head coach Keith Recker noted.
To actually come and dominate the
game, I think we took a step forward
as a program. We had the expecta-
tion tonight that we were going to
win, and we didnt go through the
motions. We really came out well
and played the game.
The Bulldogs open with an onside
kick, hoping to catch the Cougars
asleep, but Van Wert recovered the
kick and went to work on offense.
Van Wert racked up close to 450
yards on the ground and the ground
assault started early.
The Cougars called ten straight run
to start the game including a 34-yard
Colin Smith touchdown run and 21-
yard Justice Tussing touchdown run.
The Tussing score run came with 8:42
left in the rst quarter and, after Gavin
Gardner connected on both points-af-
ter, Van Wert had a 14-0 lead.
After Deance stopped the Cou-
gars on Van Werts third drive of
the night, Bulldog quarterback Alex
Gonzalez connect on his next three
passes, including a 11-yard connec-
tion on third down to Austin Eh-
linger. Three plays later, Gonzales
called his own number on a designed
quarterback run, got a good block-
ing from his line and toko the ball
to pay dirt for a 50-yard run. After
Gus Detiefsen added the extra point,
Deance cut the Cougar lead to 14-7
with a 1:58 left in the rst quarter.
Van Wert got a 31-yard eld goal
from Gardner with 8:23 left in the
second quarter to make the score
17-7, Cougars. On Deances next
offensive play, Gonzalez was picked
off by Cougars safety Ryan Stoller.
The Stoller interception lead to a
Tussing 19-yard touchdown run with
6:16 left in the rst half. Gardner
added the point-after and Van Wert
took a 24-7 lead.
Three minutes later, Smith, not
wanting to be outdone by his back-
eld mate Tussing, scored on a 28-
yard touchdown run with 3:56 left
in the rst half. Gardner added the
point-after and the Cougars had a
31-7 lead.
Deance made a push to get points
before the end of the rst half, as Gon-
zalez found Ehling again, this time
for 22 yards and later on in the drive
for 14 yards. With fourth and goal on
the six yard line, Gonzalez run to his
left and the Van Wert defense tackled
him short of the end zone and Van
Wert took a 31-7 lead into half.
The Cougars kicked the ball off
to open the second half but the Bull-
dogs apparently wanted no part of
the kick off and Keagan Hardmon
was able to scoop up the ball at the
26 yard line of Deance. The Cou-
gars wasted little time as Van Wert
scored with 11:12 left in the third
with a 26-yard touchdown dash by
Tussing. 38-7 was the score after
Gardner tacked on the extra point.
The second half saw a change at
quarterback for the Bulldogs as Noah
Strausbaugh took over. Strausbaugh
went 5-for-5 on that drive includ-
ing an 11-yard TD pass to Damian
Elford and after the Detiefsen extra
point, the Cougar lead was cut to 38-
14 with 5:52 left in the third quarter.
The Cougars capped off the scor-
ing with an 11-yard TD run from Tus-
sing with 11:25 left in the second half
and after Gardner point after attempt
was good Van Wert had a 45-14 lead.
The Van Wert offense racked up
449 yards on the ground, getting 272
yards from Tussing with four rush-
ing touchdown and Smith added 184
with two rushing touchdown also.
The Cougar offense only had to
punt twice while the Cougar defense
forced four turnovers three intercep-
tion (Stoller, Chandler Adams and
Jacoby Kelly) and a fumble recovery.

Wayne Trace routs Hicksville
BY KEVIN WANNEMACHER
DHI Media Business Manager
kwannemacher@timesbulletin.com
HICKSVILLE Daron Showalter ran
for 156 yards on nine carries and scored
three touchdowns to lead the Wayne
Trace Raiders to a 40-6 win at Hicksville
on Friday night in Green Meadows Con-
ference football action.
The win by the Raiders (7-1) sets up
the much-awaited matchup with unde-
feated Tinora (8-0) next weekend as both
the Rams and Raiders will come into the
contest at 5-0 in league play.
After a scoreless rst quarter, Wayne
Trace dominated the second stanza to take
control of Fridays contest with the Aces.
The Raiders opened the scoring when
Tyler Showalter plunged one yard for a
touchdown, capping an 11-play, 80-yard
scoring drive with 11:02 left in the sec-
ond quarter. Daron Showalter caught
the 2-point conversion pass from Tyler
Showalter to put Wayne Trace on top 8-0.
Wayne Trace would strike again mid-
way through the period.
Taking over at their own 40-yard line,
the Raiders needed only ve plays to nd
the end zone. Facing a fourth-and-three
at the Aces 34, Daron Showalter was on
the receiving end of a 34-yard touchdown
toss from Tyler Showalter with 5:28 left
in the half. Tyler Showalter then ran in
the two-point conversion as Wayne Trace
stretched the lead to 16-0.
We made some adjustments there
in the second quarter, and it allowed us
to free up some of our athletes, stated
Raider head coach Bill Speller.
The Raiders also beneted
from solid offensive line play,
giving Tyler Showalter plenty of
time to make plays in the second
quarter.
They did a very good job of
protection there in the second
quarter, Speller continued.
The Raiders would add two
more scores late in the rst half.
Much like Daron Showalter did
on his touchdown reception, Jake
Dingus caught a short pass from
Tyler Showalter and broke multiple
tackles in turning it into a 69-yard
scoring strike with 2:03 left in the half.
Thats one thing weve been able to do
this year is score quickly, Speller added.
Weve got some speed and athleticism
and theyve done a good job of
making big plays for us.
After a Dingus interception
put Wayne Trace back in business
at its own 11-yard line, it took
only one play for the Raiders to
score again.
Daron Showalter broke
through the Hicksville defense and
rumbled 89-yards to make it 32-0
Raiders at halftime.
He had an outstanding game tonight,
noted the Raider mentor. He kind of gets
overlooked but he showed how quick he
is. Hes a big kid that likes to run over
people but he can outrun them too.
Hicksville got on the scoreboard late
in the third quarter when Garrett Crall
found Phil Karacson on a 29-yard scor-
ing strike.
Daron Showalter then round-
ed out the scoring, scampering
11-yards to set the nal margin at
40-6.
The Raider win sets up the game
that was expected for what appears
to be an outright league title.
We know they are a very
good football team, commented
Speller of Tinora. We will have
to watch some tape and learn
there tendencies this week as we
look to come up with a game plan.
Its hard sometimes to guess how
teams are going to play us but well have
to make adjustments next week and see
what happens. It should be a great atmo-
sphere with a lot of people there and a lot
of fun.
Tyler Showalter was 12 of 20
through the air for 209 yards on
the night, leading Wayne Trace
to 481 yards of total offense over-
all.
The Raiders nished with 268
rushing yards overall, including
75 from Jake Dingus on ten car-
ries. Daron Showalter also add-
ed six receptions for 95 yards.
Karacson topped the Aces with 89
rushing yards 17 attempts and Wulff
chipped in 55 yards on 17 tries. Crall n-
ished 8 of 21 passing for 92 yards.
The Raiders and Rams will hook up
on Friday at Raider Field.
Wild World Series: Perfect

A pair of wild cards, set
to begin the World Series on
Tuesday night at Kauffman
Stadium in a matchup offering
most everything a fan would
want to watch. Tight, too, with
the Giants opening as a slim
favorite to win it all.
Theyre as hot as you can
get, Posey said, already a
two-time champion with the
Giants. We were playing
them earlier this year and they
spanked us pretty good. We
know were going to have our
hands full with them.
Theyre a dynamic team
that pitches really well, re-
ally good defense. Theyve
got pop, too, along with speed.
Well denitely have our
hands full, he said.
So much on the eld to sa-
vor on both sides. Plus, there
probably will be room for
some second-guessing this
week, Royals manager Ned
Yost poked fun at those who
earlier thought of him as the
dumbest guy on the face of the
earth.

they met in Surprise thats

beat the Royals early in spring
training.
By August, the Royals
were rolling. They swept
the visiting Giants in a
three-game series, beating
Bumgarner, Tim Hudson and
Tim Lincecum, and stealing
seven bases in the nale as
All-Star closer Greg Holland
excelled.
Now, they meet again.

The Bulldogs led 21-0 after one quarter on a
pair of Reid Stechschulte touchdown passes and a
blocked punt return for a score.
Stechschulte found David Bogart from ten yards

Andrew Nichols picked up a blocked punt and
returned it 30-yards for a score to widen the Co-
lumbus Grove lead to 21-0 with 5:03 remaining on

Joey Warnecke scampered 56-yards with 10:32
left in the half as the Putnam County squad pushed the mar-
gin to 28-0.

quarter and Lachlan Clymer completed the scoring
with a 15-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Stechschulte nished the night 7 of 12 passing
for 75 yards while running for 83 yards on nine car-
ries. Warnecke paced the Bulldogs with 151 yards
on 14 attempts.

A DHI Media publication COMICS Saturday, October 18 & Sunday, October 19, 2014 11
Saturday, October 18, 2014
A strategic game plan will
keep you on track this year.
Look to others for advice,
but rely on your instincts as
well. Once you have your
priorities in order, you will
make great strides toward your
destination. Dont let anyone
or anything stand in your way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Compliments will come
your way as a result of your
latest self-improvement effort.
The only person you can
change is yourself, so refrain
from critiquing others unless
you are asked.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-
Nov. 22) -- New friendships
are bound to form if you get
involved in a cause that youre
passionate about. Get out and
explore subjects and pastimes
that hold the most interest for
you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Dont jeopardize
your reputation or position
by becoming involved in
squabbles at work or home.
Stay on the sidelines and keep
your opinions to yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- Adventurous times
are heading your way. A risk
will result in a fnancial gain.
Consider a residential move
if it will bring you closer to a
better job market.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- New friends are coming
into your life. Attending a
community event or taking an
out-of-town trip will introduce
you to potential partners both
professional and personal.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Resist the urge to get too
attached to business partners or
clients. Keep your professional
and personal lives separate, or
you stand the chance of losing
your job and credibility.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- You will be the life of
the party today. Your clever wit
and entertaining personality
will ensure that everyone has
a good time. Love is in the air.
TAURUS (April 20-
May 20) -- You will get more
accomplished if you do the
work yourself. Others will
not be in the mood to help
you out. Once you fnish your
tasks, reward yourself with
something pleasant.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Be true to yourself. If
an unsatisfactory relationship
cant be rectifed, you should
deal with it once and for all.
Letting matters linger will not
solve anything.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Reward your hard work
with something that youve
wanted to do or purchase for a
long time. Gathering together
with close friends, doing some
traveling or taking part in an
enjoyable activity will hit the
spot.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Money can be made if you are
ready to take a risk. You will
be dynamic and eager to step
out and be the life of the
party.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- An unnecessary repair
or overpriced purchase will
leave you upset. Make sure you
get full value for your dollar.
Shop around for the very best
deal.

JIM METCALFE
COLLEGE
O K L A H O M A :
These Big 12
games are getting
wilder. K-State
is a tough out
anywhere these
days but in
Norman, Sooners
rule.
ALABAMA: The
Crimson Tide have
proved vulnerable lately but the Aggies have
taken a step back from the Johnny Football
days. My, how time ies!
TCU: The Horned Frogs are for real. The
Cowpokes nd out up close this week.
NOTRE DAME: Fighting Irish nd out how
good they really are against a very distracted
Seminoles, even in Tallahassee.
ARIZONA STATE: I have been singing the
praises of Cardinal but the Sun Devils have
quietly been compiling a nice resume in the
desert.
GEORGIA: The way the Dawgs destroyed
Maty Mauk and Mizzou last week was
impressive!
PROS
DENVER: Broncos are probably the best
team in the NFL right now; are 49ers starting
to get back to where we though theyd be? In
Mile High City, Im going with Peyton.
DALLAS: This could be the week where we
nd out if Cowboys are for real or are they a
mirage? Running game gives them a better
chance for the former.
INDIANAPOLIS: Missing a game-winning
eld goal to end OT last week has to be
nagging at Bengals this week. Colts arent a
team to make things easier.
DETROIT: Saints win at Superdome, lose
on the road. This game in Ford Field; need
I write anymore?
SAN DIEGO: Chargers had BIG wakeup call
last week, almost losing to Da Raiiidderrrrrz.
Theyll be better this week.
GREEN BAY: See remarks regarding
Cincinnati /Indianapolis, though Panthers
lucked out vs. Bengals.
ERIN COX
COLLEGE:
OKLAHOMA: Purple is a weird uniform color
so Ill go with Oklahoma.
ALABAMA: A before T is enough reason
for me.
TCU: The Chosen University let me down
last week but I just found out that they are
the Horned Frogs,
which is awesome.
FLORIDA STATE:
Winston gets
my pick on
q u a r t e r b a c k s .
Despite all the
c o n t r o v e r s y
surrounding him,
hes still kicking
butt and hell prove
it on the eld this
weekend.
STANFORD: The Cardinal has won the
recent match ups between these two teams
so I choose them.
GEORGIA: I got Georgia on my mind.
PRO:
DENVER: Peyton. Manning.
DALLAS: My boys are rolling and they are
still Americas Team in my opinion.
CINCINNATI: The Bengals have been slow to
recover from their loss but they gure it out
this week.
DETROIT: The Saints are struggling and Im
loving it.
KANSAS CITY: Im not a fan of the Chargers
and they barely beat the RaidersIm not
impressed yet.
CAROLINA: The Panthers are high off a tie
with Cincinnati and I like blue better than
green.
JOHN PARENT
COLLEGE:
Oklahoma: If Katy Perry likes Trevor Knight
and Oklahoma, who am I to disagree? Ill take
the Sooners in a rout over K-State.
A&M: Two of the SECs biggest names,
and the Aggies have scored plenty versus
the Tides defense over the past two years.
Johnny Football is gone, but Kenny Hill, son
of a former Montreal Expo ace, is getting it
done. I like the Aggies in a high-scoring
game.
TCU: I wonder how many people even knew
what TCU stood for? I liked what I saw from
the Horned Frogs last week, though they
lost to Baylor in a 61-58 barnburner. Good
enough for me to pick them this week against
an underperforming Cowboys team.
Florida State: The big game is in Tallahassee
where its undefeated Florida State and
undefeated Notre Dame. If this game were in
South Bend, I might pick the other way, but
Ill take FSU whether Jameis Winston plays
or not.
Stanford: PAC-12 game of the week is
Stanford and Arizona State. Somehow,
Stanford has
maintained an
o u t s t a n d i n g
program even
with impossibly
high academic
standards. ASU
has no such
problems. Take the
Cardinal.
UGA: Georgia
didnt miss a beat
without Todd
Gurley last week, and I hate Bret Bielema,
so hunker down you hairy dawgs. Georgia by
two touchdowns.
PRO
Denver: The Niners looked like they got back
on track with a comeback win last week,
until you consider that they had to comeback
against the Rams. Austin Davis is no Peyton
Manning. Broncos win this one fairly easily.
Dallas: Peytons little brother has played
well this year and the national pundits have
told me that hes an elite quarterback since
he won two Super Bowls (he did that all by
himself, apparently). Shocking as it may be,
Tony Romos career numbers are MUCH
better than Elis and the Cowboys have the
best running game in the league. Cowboys
win again.
Indy: The Bengals got embarrassed by New
England, then had to settle for a tie against
Carolina. This team is headed in the wrong
direction, which is the only reason Im taking
the Colts this week.
Detroit: Lions-Saints should be a wild one,
right? Not with this Detroit defense. The Lions
have been much more than a Calvin Johnson
show and the Saints have consistently found
ways to lose this year. In a low scoring game,
I favor Detroit. If it gets into the 30s, I like the
Lions there, too.
San Diego: I have next to no interest in this
game, but Ill take San Diego on a hunch
Carolina: Assuming everyone in Carolinas
lineup has recovered from all the ankle-
twisting Vontaze Burct did last week, the
Panthers are the better team this year. Aaron
Rodgers is great, but the Packers have
allowed some of the weapons around him to
leave over the years. Panthers win this one in
a high-scoring contest.
MIKE WULFHORST
College:
Oklahoma; A battle of of 2 1-loss teams in this
dream match up. You have Oklahoma coming
of a tight battle against Texas while Kansas
State enjoyed a bye
week. Oklahoma
has really struggled
the last few weeks
in games against
Texas and TCU
(there only loss of
the season), and
Kansas State comes
off a bye week
rested and ready to
travel to Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is awfully
tough to beat at home and that will continue
this week when they beat Kansas State by 2
touchdowns.
Alabama; All I have to say is Alabama big
in this matchup of SEC powers. Texas A&M
has no defense (giving up 81 points the last 2
games) and that means trouble for this Texas
A&M squad, Alabamas offense will be able
to run and pass all over the Texas A&M in this
one and win by a comfortable margin.
TCU; TCU is looking to rebound from an
emotional loss last weekend, while Oklahoma
State is on a 5 game winning streak in this Big
12 battle. I look for TCU to be too much for
The OSU in this matchup and pull away late
for the win.
Notre Dame; Notre Dame in its rst true road
game of the season travel to Tallahassee
to tangle with Florida State. Huge play off
implications are riding on this heated contest.
It is a classic trap game for Notre Dame
against the overmatched Seminoles. Notre
Dame should win this handily if they are
not caught looking ahead two weeks when
they play the Navy Midshipmen. I am going
with the Notre Dame by a score of 42 to 17
with Florida State scoring a few garbage
touchdowns at the end.
Stanford; A classic matchup of Arizona
States high powered offense vs one of the
nations best defenses in Stanford. Arizona
State still may be without there starting
Quarterback in this one. Which style will
prevail? We are going to go with Stanford in
this tightly contested matchup by a slim score
of 17 to 13.
Arkansas; Arkansas has suffered back to
back heartbreaking conference losses this
season. Will this be the game they nally
breakthrough? While many people thought
Georgia would struggle without the top
running back in football (Todd Gurley) last
week against Missouri a 34 - 0 victory. I
am expecting a good old fashioned slobber
knocker in this ght. A really low scoring
game with Arkansas nally breaking through
and getting there rst SEC win in 2 years by a
margin of 20 to 17.
NFL:
Denver; The 49ers travel to the Mile High City
to take on the Broncos. This will be a great
test for the 49ers, to see if they are still in
the top tier of the NFL. I think they will nd
out, they have some work to do. The defense
will have trouble stopping Peyton Manning,
though I do think it will be a close game.
Broncos by a touchdown, 31-24.
Dallas; After the Cowboys big win in Seattle
last week, they take on their NFC East
opponent, the NY Giants. The Giants were
absolutely killed on SNF last week, and I
predict another beat down this week. The
Cowboys are playing the best they have
in years, and the Giants, well, they are just
showing up and collecting a paycheck. I like
the Cowboys, in a game you can shut off by
halftime, 45-13.
Indianapolis; The Bengals, coming off an
impressive tie this past week will try to get
back in the win (or loss) column. Indianapolis
has had an extra 3 days rest to prepare for
this game, so they will be well prepared for
the AJ Green-less Bengals. The extra time to
prepare, homeeld advantage, and just the
way Cincinnati has looked the past couple
of weeks, I have to take the Colts, in a close
one, 28-24.
Detroit; Is this the week New Orleans nally
wakes up and plays to their potential? Will
Detroit have enough offense to beat out the
Saints, even with Calvin Johnson possibly
out for a 2nd week in a row? I feel if the Saints
havent looked like the Saints of old by now,
they probably will not this year. Detroit wins
this 23-14.
San Diego; Phillip Rivers has been on re
through the rst 6 weeks of the season.
Kansas City is coming off their bye, so they
have had extra time to prepare for their
divisional rival. Even with extra preparation,
I cant see the Chiefs keeping up with the high
powered Chargers. San Diego wins in a blow
out, 38-10.
Green Bay; The Packers have outscored
their opponents 107 to 41 over the past
three weeks. The last 4 weeks, the Panthers
defense has given up 37, 38, 24, and 37
points. This is bad news when you have to go
up against a quarterback playing as well as
Aaron Rodgers. I think the Panthers defense
will play better, but will still end up with a lose.
Packers win, 24-20.
There were only two pickers last week: me and
Erin Cox.
I went 7-4-1 (3-3/4-1-1) to improve to 46-25-1 (20-
16/26-9-1).
Erin was better at 8-3-1 4-2/4-1-1 to now
stand at 44-27-1 (22-14/22-13-1).
I have conferred with the highest authorities
well, not THAT high and will be rearranging the
deck chairs on the HMS Pigskin Picks.
Erin and I remain as regulars and Times Bulletin
Sports Editor John Parent will become the third.
We will also have one Guest Picker.
This week, that is Michael Wulfhorst, a member
of the Delphos City Schools Board of Education.
That overall mark (now counting Dave Boninseg-
na) stands at 62-45 (36-23/33-27).
This weeks Games:
COLLEGE: Kansas State at Oklahoma; Texas
A&M at Alabama; Oklahoma State at TCU; Notre
Dame at Florida State; Stanford at Arizona State;
Georgia at Arkansas.
PRO: San Francisco at Denver; NY Giants at Dal-
las; Cincinnati at Indianapolis; New Orleans at De-
troit; Kansas City at San Diego; Carolina at Green Bay.
(From page A9)
Forcing a punt, Teman returned the kick 45 yards
to the guest 30. From there, freshman Brenen Auer
swept the right side, cut all the way back to the left
sideline and pulled out of a nal tacklers grasp to
the pylon. Wollenhaupt, in kick mode, took the snap
and found Jordan McCann for the 2-pointer and a
35-8 edge with 6:41 left in the stanza.
Teman picked off another Etue pass, putting
Delphos at the Evergreen 49. Keyed by a personal
foul, they went the distance in ve plays. At the four,
Hunter Binkley bolted inside right guard. Wollen-
haupt made it 42-8 with 4:35 showing in the period,
invoking the 30-point mercy rule and a running
clock.
On the very next play from scrimmage at the
Evergreen 43, Teman tipped and picked off his
third pass at the host 25. The drive started at
3:24 and ended 15 plays later. At the Evergreen
26, Cline swept left end, found the seam to the
sideline, stiff-armed a defender and was off to
the races. Wollenhaupt made it 49-8 with 7:12
left.
The team traded turnovers, with Evergreen start-
ing its nal drive at its 16 against the Jefferson back-
ups. In six plays, they tacked on the nal points on a
39-yard Etue aerial to Brighton and a Jake Clay run
for the 2 with 3:19 left.
Mistakes are a part of football but we know we
have to improve a lot from this week, Sommers
added. We have to be ready to play at the start and
be consistent throughout the game. We have to be
prepared for a very good Ada team next week.
Jefferson visits Ada 7:30 p.m. Friday.

We challenge them and we
thought we could do that. We
ran the ball pretty well at Ce-
lina last week just had some
costly mistakes over there,
Recker said. I felt like we
could run the ball and our of-
fensive line did a nice job over
covering guys up. Colin did a
good job of getting us into the
plays that we wanted when he
needed to get away from some
extra defenders.
Van Wert improves to 3-5 on

COUGARS

We are a running team, but at that point,
momentum was on their side, Coach Zerbe
said of the consecutive pass attempts. We
needed a momentum swing. We had guys
open, we just missed them. If we complete
that, it might be a different story. Sometimes
you gotta take that risk.
It took only one play for Zaleski to score,
breaking through the Bearcat defense and
sprinting 68 yards up the sidelines to pull the
Knights within an extra-point of tying the
game. Thats when the senior quarterback,
who is also the holder, made yet another spec-
tacular play and gave the Knights the lead.
Thats Preston, Owens said. It was a
mishandled or bad snap - I couldnt tell which
- and Preston just making a play.
Spencerville had one last try, but Zaleski
sealed the game when he picked off Nourses
pass after Braden Van Cleave batted the pass
into the air.
After gaining 200 yards of offense before
the break, Spencerville was held to a mere 66
second-half yards.
Our defensive line, and our two lineback-
ers in there, especially, we were able to gure
some things out (in the second half), and play
tough, Owens added.
Zaleski wound up with 139 yards on 18 car-
ries while Lippi banged out 107 yards on 27
runs.
Jake is going to feel it tomorrow, quipped
Coach Owens. Because he put every ounce
of his ability and being on the line tonight -
both offensively and defensively. Hes a senior
captain. We need it, and he provided it; what a
gutsy performance.
The Knights wound up controlling the ball
for 29:40 of game action to Spencervilles
18:20.
They kept our offense off the eld, Zerbe
noted. They had a couple of long drives, and
we just kind of made some mistakes and had
some penalties to keep them in the game, and
thats on us. Hats off to Crestview; they de-
serve this one.
The win creates a virtual three-way tie atop
the NWC standings, with Jefferson, Crestview,
and Spencerville all holding one conference
loss. The Jeffcats and Bearcats will face off
in week ten. Crestview visits Columbus Grove
next week.

The Panthers returned
the kick to their own 36 and
marched down the field on
a 64-yard scoring drive in
11 plays. Quarterback Jus-
tin Barna completed passes
to Kris Gangwer and Bai-
ley Rodriguez to move into
St. Johns territory. Barna
found green in front of him
as he motored downfield to
the 15 with a 27-yard run.
After a penalty moved the
ball back 15 yards, Barna
notched three big gainers to
set up first-and-goal from
the three. Barna scored on
the sneak with 19 seconds
remaining in the opening
period but the 2-point con-
version failed as the scored
was tied at 6.
The Blue Jays proved that
they are not a one-man show
on the ground as Hays be-
gan to pile up the yardage on
runs of 20, 12 and 34. Hays
nished off the 6-play drive
scoring on a 5-yard run and
the 2-point conversion was
good for a 14-6 St. Johns
lead.
Parkways next posses-
sion resulted in the rst punt
on the night as the Jays were
pinned deep at the 18. On the
fth play of the drive, Hays
ran towards the left sideline
and made a beautiful cutback
to the middle of the eld and
was off to a 69-yard touch-
down romp. The PAT by Brian
Pohlman was good as the Jays
led 21-6 with 5:42 remaining
before half.
Disaster struck for the
Panthers as the kickoff return
was fumbled at mideld and
the Jays recovered. Martz hit
Reindel for a 23-yard pickup.
Four plays later, Hays scored
his fourth touchdown of the
rst half with another 8-yard
gain as the Jays took a 28-6
lead.
Parkway put together a
nice drive as Barna gained
26 yards on a pair of rushes.
His pass to Bailey Rodriguez
pushed the Panthers into Blue
Jay territory but a sack by
Austin Schulte put the home
team in long yardage. Gar-
rett Nagel intercepted Barnas
pass and St. Johns had great
eld position.
The Panther defense got
the ball back two plays later
as Clayton Bollenbacher
picked off a Martz pass. The
Panthers could not take ad-
vantage of the turnover, as
Tim Kreeger sacked Barna to
end the rst half.
Parkway turned the ball
over on downs to open the
second half as the Jays took
over. Heiings 9-yard pick-
up, a counter play by Martz
and a personal foul on the
Panthers extended the drive
to the host 21. Four plays
later, Martz hit Reindel with
a 4-yard scoring pass. The
Jays set up for the extra point
and the fake was good for a
2-point conversion.
St. Johns scored for the
nal time as senior Jorden
Boone took over at quarter-
back and engineered a 6-play
scoring drive as Reindel
punched it in with a 10-yard
run.
The Panthers offense
ended on a positive note scor-
ing on its last possession of
the night. Barnas completion
to Ryan Lautzenheiser drove
the Panthers across the mid-
eld stripe. A Barna bomb
was complete to Rodriguez
between a pair of Blue Jay
defenders at the 3 yard line.
A keeper by Barna from there
was in for the touchdown. The
Panthers went for the 2-point
conversion but failed to make
the nal score 43-12.
St. Johns evens its sea-
son record at 4-4 (2-4 MAC)
and will host Coldwater next
Friday. Parkway will take on
New Bremen.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
DEAR ABBY: I have
been seeing Tony for a few
weeks. He is kind, caring and
will make a great boyfriend,
husband and father someday.
My problem with him is he
thinks Im a status digger.
(Its similar to a gold digger,
but he means I care only about
someones standing in the
community.) His rationale is
based on my friendships.
I come from a privileged
background. While some ac-
quaintances in my circle are
spoiled and supercial, my
close friends and I are not.
Because I grew up here, it was
only natural Id date guys from
a similar background. While
I was not opposed to dating
outside my social circle, the
opportunity never presented
itself.
Abby, I have never mea-
sured a guy because of his po-
sition in society. The thought
never occurred to me. I admit
I would probably be more in-
clined to date someone from
a similar background because
thats what Im familiar with,
but I dont think this makes
me a social climber, status
digger or elitist. How should
I address this with Tony? Im
afraid our relationship will
end if he cant see me for who
I really am. JUST ME IN
HOUSTON
DEAR JUST ME: Tony
may come from a blue-collar
background. Because he per-
ceives you and your friends as
having had so much given to
you, he may feel inadequate, so
hes putting you on the defen-
sive by accusing you of being
solely interested in social status.
Of course, thats stereotyping,
and it isnt fair to you. Because
someone comes from inherited
status/wealth there is no guar-
antee that it wont disappear.
Thats the reason some women
prefer self-made men to those
from a privileged background.
You and Tony should have a
frank talk. When you do, sug-
gest that before he assumes any
more preconceptions about you
are true, he should get to know
you because if he doesnt, he
will miss out on someone who
is not only very nice, but who
thinks HE has a lot to offer.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: When I was
in my 20s, I was involved in a
long-term relationship with a
married man. I became preg-
nant, we ended the relationship
and I gave birth to an amazing,
intelligent and well-adjusted
son, Kyle. There has been no
contact with my former lover,
and we have no mutual ac-
quaintances.
Now that Kyle is an adult, he
has expressed an interest in con-
tacting his father. He is curious,
but doesnt want to disrupt his
fathers life. Kyle doesnt feel he
missed out by not meeting his
father; he simply wonders what
he is like. The man is easy to lo-
cate on social media because he
has an unusual last name.
I dont want to see my son
hurt by rejection or lack of in-
terest from this man. Should I
make the initial contact? If so,
what would be the best way to
do it? PROTECTIVE MOM
IN TENNESSEE
DEAR PROTECTIVE
MOM: Your impulse may be
to protect your son, but Kyle
should make the contact. When
he does, he should tell the man
that you are his mother, and
that he would like to meet him
for no other reason than to ask
him some questions and get his
medical history. The response
Kyle gets will tell him a lot
about the man who fathered
him. But there is no guaran-
tee that a man who never pro-
vided nancial support for his
son will be receptive, compas-
sionate or polite, and your son
should be prepared.

FALL FESTIVAL
(From page A1)
The festival has become
a well-oiled machine over
the years with families tak-
ing on projects and handing
the tradition down to younger
members through the years.
Adults, children, and grand-
children work side-by-side
frying chicken, cooking beef,
making gravy, mashed pota-
toes and dressing. Some have
purchased T-shirts to wear
so everyone knows what that
family takes pride in doing for
the fundraiser.
The preparation the week
before is mind-boggling with
vegetables diced for dressing,
chicken cleaning, preparing
carry-out sides like cranber-
ry salad, cole slaw and apple
sauce; separating plastic bags
for the carry-out; baking
more than 5,000 cookies for
carry-out meals; hauling out
the china for those dining in;
and of course, washing dishes.
There are always dishes to be
washed.
Thousands of meals will be
enjoyed both in the cafeteria
and at home. Last year, 4,821
carry-out dinners and 1,617
diners were served. Saturday
is the biggest dine-in day and
Sunday is the biggest carry-
out day.
Laura Cork Ulm is in
charge of the meals and a
large binder she carries is a
testament to the task.
Everything is in here, she
said. We know what weve
done since 1990.
The food list alone is
daunting. Volunteers will have
cleaned 7,296 pieces of chick-
en to go with 2,300 pounds
of beef; 380 pounds of dry
noodles will be cooked; 800
pounds of cabbage mix will
be joined with 45 gallons of
dressing, a secret recipe; and
65 dozen eggs will go into
bread dressing.
Meals will be served fam-
ily-style in the Little Theater
from 4:30-7 p.m. today and
from 4-7 p.m. Sunday. The
menu includes chicken, beef,
noodles, mashed potatoes and
gravy, dressing, corn, roll,
cole slaw, apple sauce and
dessert. Dinners are $8.50 for
adults and $6.50 for children
fth grade and younger.
Speaking of dessert, hun-
dreds of cakes will line the art
room in the basement to serve
diners and dozens are prizes
for the cake wheel.
During the festival, $2,514
in cash will be given away.
A trip to the Robert A.
Arnzen Gymnasium is a must
for a chance on the Teacher/
Staff Rafe Booth items or
the Money Wheel with an en-
tire wall of prizes. The Coun-
try Store and Treasure Island
are also included.
The rst housewarming
was held in October 1913 in
the schools then new audito-
rium. The festival was deemed
a success with $9,600 netted
for the school fund. Fast-for-
warding to today, the event is a
homecoming for parishioners
who have moved away and
for those who are still here, a
sense of place and community.
More than 7,200 pieces of chicken were cleaned for
St. Johns Festival meals this weekend. (DHI Media/
Nancy Spencer)

Ries did emphasize that all the buildings on
the tour are safe and the owners have cooper-
ated to allow the visits, but which buildings are
on the tour? Ries would not conrm the list.
There is an air of mystery about it; you
wont know which buildings youll be going
through until you get there, he teased.
Of course there is a further motive for Ries
for the whole tour.
The goal is to get people thinking, and
talking, about what could be going on in these
buildings, he said. Of course its about pre-
serving the buildings but maybe they dont
have to sit empty. Maybe somebody on the
tour can envision what could be in those spac-
es, like an apartment, and ofce, artist loft, or
something else creative. In a small town like
Van Wert were not seeing retail on the second
and third oors, but you are seeing ofces, lots
of ofces, you are seeing lots of apartments
especially high-end apartments, something
that attracts a younger person, maybe someone
who is working in Van Wert or one of the sur-
rounding communities. If they arent thinking
of purchasing a home, theyre looking at rent-
ing. Why not give them that cool space to live
at a rate that they cant afford that quality of
apartment in some other town.
A building in Delphos is also providing
some inspiration in this area.
There is a prime example in Delphos of a
six-unit apartment building with luxury lofts
that are built in downtown Delphos. Theres
no reason that demand wouldnt be 12 minutes
away, also, Ries noted.
Noting that the efciency of using more
than just the rst oor of a building when us-
ing additional oors could provide the income
to help pay extra maintenance costs, Ries
is looking forward to seeing the reactions of
those on the tour.
Tickets are available at the Main Street Van
Wert ofce at 136 E. Main or at Perks Cafe at
105 W. Main St. Tickets can be reserved by
contacting Ries at (419) 238-6911. The tour
will also include a hot beverage and some com-
plimentary snacks along the way. Only 150
tickets will be sold for the tour, and according
to Ries more than half are already sold.
DOWNTOWN
A chance to get a look inside some
of the upper stories of downtown
buildings will come with the Hidden
Spaces tour next weekend in
downtown Van Wert. A few empty
and untouched spaces will be on the
tour to help people see some of the
treasures downtown. (DHI Media/Ed
Gebert)
(From page A1)
The later it gets and the excess moisture
results in a greater potential that wheat crops
wont survive, Young said. Farmers will
have to compensate for some loss by increas-
ing their seed rates.
Young said the county has seen very re-
spectable corn yields at 130-200 bushels per
acre, corn quality looks good and, in general,
it was a good corn growing year with mild
temperatures and adequate moisture to ll out
grain and push nutrients to the plants.
There are challenges with poor stalk qual-
ity, Young explained. A wind event could
lead to lodging.
Young explained lodging occurs when
heavy, large ears of corn are high on stalks and
are blown down and bend or break the stalks.
Once the corn falls on the ground, there is a
loss of crop and time.
With the wet fall and hail, bird, or insect
damage, there is a potential for ear rot, Young
added.
In Putnam County, Hoorman said they have
seen corn yield averages of 175-180 bushel per
acre and some as high as 300 bushel.
Yields from crops that grew in wetter soils
and/or had areas of standing water came in
around 70 bushel per acre, he said. Weve
seen 20-15 percent moisture on corn.

Delphos Man Works
For Ringling Brothers
Spring is surely on the way.
The kiddies playing marbles
on the streets is one of the sure
signs, has become a common
sight.
Roy De Haven, Delphos
man who leaves this city
each spring to take charge of
the seating problems of the
Ringling Brothers show, left
Delphos Wednesday for Ft.
Wayne. He will visit in that
city and in his hometown,
Bluffton, Ind., for a short time
and will go to New York on
March 6, to join the show for
the season.
The circus is opening earlier
than usual this year and that ac-
counts for the early departure
of Mr. De Haven. It will open
in a new building in the Bronx,
New York, and will show there
for two weeks. It will then move
to Madison Square Garden for
three weeks. After that it will
go to Boston in a new building
for two weeks. Then to Wash-
ington, D.C., after which they
will start a swing across the
country.

Bartenders Play
Ball Game
The attendance at the ball
game played by the bartend-
ers of Delphos against those
of Van Wert was attended by
a large crowd. The game was
a regular circus.
For the most part, the bat-
ters were easily fanned out,
but with some of them it was
hit and run. The pig skin
was swatted in a terric man-
ner and the elding was what
caused the fun. The way the
tenders shinned the ball was
a caution. There were times
when no one could hold the
sphere and the ball was ve
minutes getting back into play.
It is said that it was 6 to 5, in
favor of the winners.
The visiting bartenders
were shown a good time and
departed for home with words
of praise for their brethren in
Delphos for the brand of en-
tertainment afforded them. It
is probably that the Delphos
boys will go to Van Wert for a
return game.

But when newspapermen quartered in a ga-
rage near the home ashed word of the passing
of the Wizard of Menlo Park to every corner
of the globe, messages of condolence began
pouring in to the widow and the six children
who were at the bedside of the 84-year-old in-
ventor when he died.
They came from China, Australia, Alaska
and Africa, from civilized and near civilized
countries in which the electric light bulb was a
reminder to millions that the light of its maker
had gone out.
They came from statesmen who honored
him peace; from scientists indebted to him
for wresting many secrets from nature and
turning them to every day use; from noted
men and women who found inspiration in
his devotion to humanity; from the youth of
America, whom he helped and guided; and
from a host of persons unknown to front-page
publicity whose lives had been brightened
and made innitely more pleasant through
his benefaction.
President Hoover called him a precious as-
set to the whole world. Pop Pius XI cabled
Cardinal Hayes his deep sorrow, and asked
him to transmit his condolences to the family.
The cities, the four Oranges, were in deep
mourning to-day. The mayors of each asked
that all ags be own at half mast for a week.
A two minute silence throughout the towns
was to be observed during Wednesdays fu-
neral services.
Edison, who throughout his lifetime toiled
incessantly at his manifold tasks, just before
his death told his physician, Dr. Hubert S.
Howe that he was well content to die, since his
life work was over, it was learned to-day. He
met death fearlessly.
It is very beautiful over there, Edison was
quoted by Dr. Howe as having said to him be-
fore his death.
At Edisons bedside when he died were Mrs.
Edison and his children, Charles, William L.
Theodore and Thomas A., Jr., and their wives,
sons, and Mrs. Marian Oser and Mrs. John E.
Slain, daughters, and their husbands.
EDISON
Dear Heloise: I keep a
cardboard oatmeal can near
my dryer. When I remove the
lint from the dryer, I place it in
the can. When the birds return
in the spring, I place some of it
in small, empty tuna cans, and
put them around the yard or
in a tree, where the birds can
get it for their nests. R.E. in
Nebraska
Backyard birds are our
friends, and they are just love-
ly to watch! However, this old
and very common hint is no
longer safe.
All bird experts tell us
NOT to use dryer lint. Dryer
lint is made of bers (many
man-made) from material, and
may have detergent or softener
residue, which is not good for
our feathered friends. If you
want to help birds out, set out
natural materials, such as hu-
man or animal hair, twigs,
moss and leaves. Now I have
a good use for Chammys (our
silken wheaten terrier) and my
hair that collects in our brush-
es. Heloise
P.S.: Next is a brilliant bird
hint. Im watching my hum-
mingbirds right now!

HANGOUT
Dear Heloise: I have no-
ticed that hummingbirds like
to sit and watch over their food
supply. I made a hummingbird
swing of my own with a met-
al clothes hanger. I bent the
middle of the clothes hanger
upward, toward the hook on
top, to make two loops, and
hung it over the feeder. They
love it! Shirley Davis, Lis-

Dear Readers: Jordan Gray

that Anya is protective and
loyal, but also as sweet as they
come. Heloise
FRUIT STAIN
Dear Heloise: I bit into a
beautifully ripe strawberry,
and juice dripped down the
front of my favorite sweater.
Can you help? Wilma, via
email
Dont stress over a straw-
berry stain! Dampen the
sweater (if its washable, of
course) with cool water, and
rub a drop or two of liquid
laundry detergent into the spot
(from the back of the sweater),
then wash. Do not put it in the
dryer. Check the stain, and
treat again if its still there.
The next time this happens,
try to dab the spot with cold
water to help dilute the juice.
More maddening stains?
Want to know how to save that
shirt? Just send $5 and a long,
self-addressed, stamped (70
cents) envelope to: Heloise/
Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001,
San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.
Stains are going to happen, so
be prepared! Remember, to
prevent pilling on sweaters,
wash them inside out. He-
loise
PANTRY PACKAGES
Dear Heloise: I put my ex-
tra shoe holder on the inside
of the pantry door to hold all
those packets I buy. The in-
dividual cornbread mixes,
soups, taco mixes, etc., are all
at eye level and stay organized,
instead of falling off the shelf.
