Vol. 145 No. 108
Personal crimes up at 19%

BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
Since 2000, Gallup has asked

Americans in its annual Crime Poll
to report whether they or anyone in
their households have been the victim
of one or more of seven core crimes,
including burglary, property theft or
larceny, car theft, vandalism, robbery,
physical assault and sexual assault
in the past 12 months. Traditional
crimes against property or physical
assaults are not uncommon in the
U.S. but typically affect one in four
U.S. households and just under one
in five Americans each year.
The October tally found the per-
centage of Americans who have been

personally victimized has escalated
from 14 percent in 2006 to a range
of 15-17 percent in the mid-to-late
2000s to 19 percent in 2014.
Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fittro
gave an overview of the statistics
for the eight crimes tracked for the
city, including homicide, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, theft, motor
vehicle theft and criminal damaging/
vandalism.
Since 2008, Delphos has seen
a 38-percent decrease in burglaries
(down from 47 to 34), he said.
During that same timeframe, there
has been a 23-percent increase
in thefts (from 122 to 150) and a
300-percent increase in motor vehicle
thefts (from 1-4), which are a result

of the heroin problem in our city.
According to Gallups index of
crime victimization, 26 percent
of Americans say they or another
member of their household were
the victim of some type of property or physical crime in the last
12 months, ranging from theft to
sexual assault.
Per the Crime Poll, property theft
and vandalism are the most common
and the most consistent at close
to 15 percent for U.S. households, followed by burglary at six
percent. The other crimes are rare,
with only as many as three percent
of the respondents reporting each
occurred to a household member in
the last 12 months.

In the past five years, there
has been a 43-percent decrease in
criminal damaging/vandalism cases
reported in Delphos, with only 48
cases in 2013 as compared to the 84
cases in 2008.
Under the law, criminal damaging and vandalism are different
crimes and most people dont realize this. What the average person
would call vandalism, we call criminal damaging, Fittro explained. For
example, this would be an act which
would impair a persons ability to get
to work, like slitting their vehicles
tires.

Clime Street home lost to fire Tuesday
A Clime Street mans home has been declared a loss following a late Tuesday night fire. Dennis
Kings residence at 409 W. Clime St. was engulfed in flames by the time Delphos Fire and Rescue
arrived on the scene following an 11:36 p.m. 9-1-1 call. Reports indicate the fire started in a bedroom of the home and King told firefighters he had been smoking in bed and must have fallen
asleep. King and his wife, Kecia, and their dog escaped the blaze unharmed. Fire Chief Kevin
Streets has estimated the damage to the home at $30-$40,000 and reports indicate structure of
the home has been irreversibly damaged by the fire. Above: Delphos Fire and Rescue Personnel

hours. Below: The King home Wednesday morning. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)

DELPHOS The boilers

at the Delphos Public Library
are back online and keeping
patrons and employees warm
against the recent drop in temperatures.
Director Kelly Rist reported the replacement boilers
have been ordered but have
not been received by Reliable
Plumbing and Heating.
The boilers quit working
on Sept. 10 during a late summer storm. The two sump
pumps in the basement of the
library failed to keep up with
the influx of water and 18
inches gathered in the lower
level. One pump was brought
back online and an additional
pump was brought in but not
before all four of the boilers
sustained damage.
The two boilers that were
repaired are seven years old
but the two remaining were of
an undetermined age and technicians alerted Rist repairs
would not be cost-effective.
The repairs cost $315 and
two new 94-percent efficient
gas boilers will cost $13,640.
Building improvements
continue at the library. Lees
Construction has finished
the painting and repairs to
the outside of the building.
Moores Tree Service was
given the contract to tree trim
and remove some trees to
close to the building.
A report on the changes
to e-rate was given and the
library will apply next year
for Category 2 e-rate money
for wireless routers, firewalls
and other materials that are
covered by that funding.
The Read One Program
saw a good response from the
library.

Lewis Family McDonalds prepares

for annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner
BLUFFTON As Thanksgiving quickly
approaches, Lewis Family McDonalds begins
its preparations for their annual Thanksgiving
Day Dinner. The dinner, started in 1989 by the
Chester Carey Family, is now in its 10th year.
The dinner will be held from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
Nov. 27 at the Lima Veterans Memorial Civic
and Convention Center.
We recognize the importance of having a place for people to eat and fellowship
on a special day like Thanksgiving, local
McDonalds owner Jerry Lewis said. We
continue to be amazed with the support of our
community.
The dinner includes the traditional
Thanksgiving fixings including turkey, gravy,
mashed potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie and
more. Enough food will be prepared to feed
3,200 guests. More than 800 pounds of turkey,
800 pounds of mashed potatoes, 540 pounds
of stuffing, 300 pounds of gravy, more than
200 pies and 24 pounds of whipped cream
will be prepared that day.
The dinner is free and open to the public
and everyone is welcome.
Guests join us because they are not able to
prepare a meal, do not have relatives in town
this year or simply want to fellowship with
others in the community that day. Either way,
we become a family that day, Lewis said.
In addition to the dinner, there will be
clothing and grocery giveaways. Only Believe
Ministries in Botkins will bring a school bus
filled with clothing. Guests will be able to
take with them any needed clothing items,
including pants, shirts, shoes, coats and hats.
There will again be a grocery bag giveaway for guests. Last year, each guest was
able to take home several bags of groceries
in addition to the hot meal they received.
Our goal is not just to feed someone for one
meal, but to provide them with enough food
for several meals. We are able to do this year
after year thanks to our many community
partners, Lewis said.
The grocery giveaway is made possible
through the generous donations of many local
organizations, including the Boy Scouts of Allen
County, Childers Media Group and Save-A-Lot
Food Stores. The Boy Scouts are currently collecting non-perishable food and toiletry items
during business hours at the Scout Shop, located
at 752 W. Robb Avenue in Lima.
New Country 92.1 The Frog and Sport
Radio 93.1, part of a five-station radio group
known as Childers Media Group, and Save-
A-Lot Food Stores have also teamed up again

this year for a Cram the Van event to collect items for the Thanksgiving Day Dinner.
Various Childers Media Group radio stations
will be at two Save-A-Lot Food Stores in
LimaCole and Bellefontaine on Nov. 24
and 25. For every $3 donation that a customer
adds to their bill, one bag of groceries will be
donated to the Thanksgiving Day Dinner.
Free transportation to and from the event
will be provided if needed. RTA will have
one bus running from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
on Thanksgiving Day to transport people
to and from the dinner. The bus will stop
at Pilgrim Place Apartments, The Towers
Apartments, Furl Williams Apartments, Lima
West Apartments and along Brower Road.
Year after year, we continue to be amazed
at the communitys willingness to give up
their own Thanksgiving to serve one another,
Lewis said.
The community partners that help make the
Thanksgiving Day Dinner possible include: New
Country 92.1 The Frog and Childers Media
Group, Save-A-Lot Food Stores, The Boy Scouts
of Allen County, Allen County Refuse, CocaCola, Only Believe Ministries, New Horizons
Baking Company, Dickerson Wrightway Food
Service, Allen County RTA, Lima Allen County
Veterans Memorial and Civic Convention Center
and Millers Textile Service.

Friend of ex-Ohio official

gets 4-year sentence
COLUMBUS (AP) A co-defendant of a former Ohio
deputy treasurer was sentenced Wednesday to a four-year federal prison term for his role in a $500,000 bribery scheme, the
first sentence to be imposed in the case.
Mohammed Noure Alo, a Columbus lawyer, lobbyist, and a
friend of ex-deputy treasurer Amer Ahmad, pleaded guilty earlier this year after the government said he and other defendants
used Ahmads position to secure lucrative state contracts and
enrich themselves and their businesses.
Ahmad is under arrest in Pakistan, where authorities say he
fled to avoid sentencing. He served under two Democratic state
treasurers in Ohio before going to work for Chicago Mayor
Rahm Emanuel.
Alos role in the scheme whether a minor player or a
middleman was debated in court before his sentencing. His
48-month term pronounced by federal Judge Michael Watson
represented the shortest amount of time sought by prosecutors,
but was twice what Alos lawyer requested. Alo also must
serve three years probation upon his release.
The judge delayed Alos sentencing last week to weigh new
arguments over how much conspiracy-related money Alo should
be held liable for as the court calculated his time behind bars.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Doug Squires argued the amount
should be $3.2 million. Squires said that was the amount
earned by co-defendant Douglas Hampton, a Canton-based
financial adviser, during the time Alo was involved in the
scheme.
Alos lawyer, David Winters, said the amount should be
$123,623, the figure deposited into Alos bank account to be
given to Ahmad.
The judge on Wednesday set a sentence that accepted the
governments figure, and further ordered Alo to repay the
$123,623 and undergo drug and alcohol counseling.
House GOP selects

Rosenberger as speaker
COLUMBUS (AP) An Air Force veteran is slated be
the next leader of the Ohio House after his fellow Republican
lawmakers picked him for the job Wednesday.
State Rep. Cliff Rosenberger, of Clarksville in southwest
Ohio, is poised to replace term-limited House Speaker William
Batchelder when a new session of the General Assembly
begins in January.
The House speaker helps set the legislative agenda. He
decides committee positions, in addition to recruiting and
working to elect caucus members. The leader also will play
a key role in next years budget negotiations with Republican
Gov. John Kasich.
The GOP caucus selects the House speaker because they
hold the majority. This month, Republicans won a record 65
seats in the 99-member chamber.
The leadership race was less competitive in the Senate,
where the GOP majority chose to keep its current leaders
for the next General Assembly. The Senate leadership team
includes: Keith Faber of Celina as president; and Chris
Widener of Springfield as president pro tempore.
Democrats will elect their leadership teams later for the
House and Senate.
At 33, Rosenberger is thought to be one of the youngest House speakers and the chambers first Asian-American
leader. He was first elected to the House in 2010 and is in his
second term. Prior to becoming a legislator, he was formerly
assigned to the 113th fighter wing of the Air National Guard.
He also served as the national political events coordinator for
Republican Mitt Romneys presidential campaign in 2008.
Rosenberger said he doesnt intend to fill Batchelders
shoes, but maintain the tone set by the longtime legislator.
Im looking to continue on his legacy and what hes built
a fair and open process for a caucus, a caucus thats strong
and independent, and one that will continue to do the right
things for our members as we continue to come together as
one, Rosenberger told reporters.
Rosenberger had been considered the front-runner after he
and potential rival Ron Amstutz of Wooster merged their teams
of backers this summer. That gave Rosenberger an apparent
numeric edge among the caucus.
State Rep. Jim Butler, a Dayton-area conservative, had also
sought the position.
Rosenberger did not outline any specific proposals for the
upcoming session, though he said job creation would remain
a priority.
Heroin awareness walk set

INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
VAN WERT There are
so many questions to be had
when it comes to the psych
of addiction. If you are a
member of the Van Wert area
you surely know addiction is
active in the lives around you.
Everyday there is an opportunity to do something powerful with your life. Heroes
and Heroines is a local group
that is trying to exercise their
opportunity by hosting the
Awareness Walk.
These
Heroes
and
Heroines call upon everyone
in the community to do the
same as the group hosts its
first event at 7 p.m. Friday.
The group is striving to
find answers and productive recovery options. They
believe taking the front line
on the battlefield starts with
awareness through education.
There is a lineup of community officials who are working
hard to find something that
can offer results and provide
more hope for our beloved
friends who suffer opiate and/
or other addiction.
This event will be held
at the Van Wert Goedde
Building. Community supporters will walk across Main
Street, following the order in
which traffic flows and abid-
ing by all traffic laws. Please

bring a candle or LED light.

the Goedde Building for free
chili in the cafeteria. There
will also be hot chocolate
stands along the route provided for those who are participating. Around 8:30 p.m.
the lineup of speakers will
start in the gymnasium.
The matters of discussion
will be informal to the public
so everyone can learn a little more about what is being
done by the city as well as
answer some questions people may have. This is a great
time to exchange thoughts,
ideas and efforts to put forth
into doing a little more in
your community.
Please come to join hands
and hearts with the Heroes
& Heroines group to bring
each and every person a little
bit closer and create lasting
bonds of support. Most of
all, this is the time to show
loved ones who suffer this
wrenching addiction that we
care about them, and we will
offer hope.
If anyone would like to
bring a crock pot of chili
or any small treats, it would
benefit the community
event greatly. Please contact

New Farm Bill programs coming soon

BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension
Ag Educator
news@delphosherald.com
Farmers will need to sign up for the
new Farm Bill programs this coming
winter and understanding new terms and
calculations will assist in the decision
process. The 2014 Farm Bill uses a market
year average price for calculating the revenue guarantee for both the individual and
county Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARCCO) program and it is used to determine
the actual crop revenue for ARC-CO and
the price used in calculating potential
Price Loss Coverage (PLC) payments. It
is important that producers understand
how this number is derived since it will
determine the amount of program payments.
Chris Bruynis, Ross County Extension
Agriculture Educator, has prepared an
explanation of the market year average
price.
The market year average is the national
average price received by producers during the 12-month marketing year and is
different for each crop. The marketing
year for wheat is June 1 to May 31 while
corn and soybean are both Sept. 1 to
Aug. 31. USDA determines the market
year average price for each commodity
using a National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) survey of commodity
buyers. This monthly price survey uses
data from more than 2,000 buyers nationwide to determine the monthly average
price. These prices are weighted across
the United States each month and for the
12-month marketing period for the crop.
More specifically buyers are asked for
the total number of bushels purchased
of each commodity and the total dollars
paid for those bushels. NASS divides the
total dollars paid by the total quantity pur-
chased to determine the average price for

the month. These average prices are then
weighted by month to reflect the percent
of crop sold that month. For example, if
20 percent of all corn was delivered in
November then the November average
price would make up 20 percent of the
market year average price. Understanding
NASS definitions will help farmers understand market year average price calculation:
Point of Sale is when the buyer takes
ownership of the grain and payment is
made.
Commodity quantities are on dry or
shrink basis and based on standard moisture.
Forward contracts and deferred payment contracts are reported in the month
the purchaser takes ownership.
Basis, minimum price and options are
reported the month the grain is delivered.
Delayed pricing will have the price
determined in the month when the price
is determined.
Pooled grain is reported in the month
when the major portion of payment is
made.
For example, the following is how the
market year average price is used in ARCCO. An Olympic average price is used
which removes the highest and the lowest
price. The county benchmark revenue is
the 5-year Olympic average of the higher
of market year average price or the reference price times the 5-year Olympic average of the higher of historical county yield
or 70 percent of the county transitional
yield. I suggest you read the previous
sentence carefully, because it has many
implications. Farmers should know that
the new farm bill is extremely complicated with many different options to help
farmers control their financial risks.

I dont know what to expect exactly at the final
race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship on the
Homestead-Miami Speedway at Miami Sunday.
We know it will come down to a quartet that will have
a chance to win in the new format Kevin Harvick,
Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano and Ryan Newman. Maybe
its not the foursome they would have preferred that didnt
include the likes of Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie
Johnson or Tony Stewart but I think the first installment of
the new format has gone very well.

COLUMBUS In the days leading up to Ohio States bigtime Big Ten showdown with Michigan State last week, offensive coordinator Tom Herman said the message was simple.
Our mantra for the week was we were going to empty the
chambers, he recalled. We needed to be very aggressive.
That was a staff-wide, offense-wide kind of a philosophy.
Against a program that prides itself on its defense, the
Buckeyes (8-1, 5-0 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP) showed how far
and how quickly its offense has developed.
The performance, including five total touchdowns from
quarterback J.T. Barrett, pushed Ohio State back into
the national conversation as it heads into Saturdays
game at Minnesota (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten, No. 25 CFP).
Before the season, coach Urban Meyer and others had
huge questions about an offensive line missing four starters
and a running attack without 1,500-yard rusher Carlos Hyde.
And that was before 3-year starting quarterback
Braxton Miller was lost for the season with a shoulder injury.
Still, the Buckeyes have a stadium full of options when
they call a play.
With Barrett, a redshirt freshman, at the controls, they are
averaging 46 points and 512 yards a game.
It takes a lot for Meyer, with two national championships
on his resume, to be impressed. But even he was stunned by
such production during the Michigan State game.
Its the best performance that weve had since weve been
here, the third-year coach of the Buckeyes said. We probably had more yards against other teams. But that was against
a legitimate top-5 defense in America and a bunch of NFL
players on that defense.

The Buckeyes ran for 268 yards on 41 carries (6.5 per

attempt), led by Hydes replacement, Ezekiel Elliott, who
gained 154 yards on 23 carries. Barrett a minor surprise
as the starter when Miller went down completed 16 of 26
passes for 300 yards and also ran for 86 on 14 carries.
The linemen, who looked more like matadors in the 35-21
home loss to Virginia Tech in Week 2, allowed only one sack
and provided terrific blocking for Barrett, Elliott and the three
Buckeyes with at least 90 yards receiving.
Were starting to play well as a full team at all positions,
said line coach Ed Warinner, who had to replace three linemen
who started last week in the NFL. Were starting to get confidence. We have a lot of young guys playing and/or inexperienced guys if theyre not young. So the whole thing is
coming together as we planned, when we need it to.
Elliott is averaging almost 100 yards rushing per
game and has scored seven touchdowns. Eight receivers have double-digit catches.
But Barrett has been a revelation. Just nine games
into his college career, hes just two back of the school
record of 36 touchdowns Miller ran and passed for a year ago.
Hes been a part of at least four TDs in the majority of his
games.
Not a bad fill-in.
Hes trusting us more to make these plays, said Michael
Thomas, the Buckeyes reclamation project of a leading
receiver (31 catches, 538 yards, 7 TDs) whom Meyer says
was close to being left off the team. Hes more patient in the
pocket now. Hes sitting back there, hes making his reads and
hes letting it go.
Meyer, critical of his team several weeks ago, has come around.
Early in the season we were not a great team, he said.
This is the most improved team that Ive been a part of.
Bengals Dalton has to get past awful game

By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI Andy Dalton is trying to

forget it and fast.
The Bengals quarterback had another horrible game in primetime last Thursday, throwing three interceptions during a 24-3 loss
to the Cleveland Browns at Paul Brown
Stadium. He completed only 10 passes
for 86 yards and finished with a passer
rating of 2.0.
The loss knocked the Bengals (5-31) out of first place in the AFC North
and raised more questions about whether Dalton is capable of handling big games.
Thats not the kind of player I am, not the
kind of offense we are, not the kind of team
we are to put that showing out there, Dalton
said on Wednesday. So you cant lose any
confidence. You cant all of a sudden panic
or anything.
Dalton said the team has to hang on to its
successes.
Dalton has the best career winning percentage of any Bengals quarterback with more
than 10 starts. Hes one of only five quarter-

NASCARs Final 4 lacks

star-power but has intrigue
By JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
NASCAR title for one of them.

Harvick spent 13 seasons driving for
Richard Childress, who hastily called
him up to the big leagues to drive Dale
Earnhardts car just five days after the
Hall-of-Famer was killed in the 2001
Daytona 500. He had raw talent to go
with his hair-trigger temper.
But Richard Childress Racing could
never get him close
enough he finished
a career-best third in
the standings three
times and he began talking to good
friend Stewart about his future in 2012.
Stewart told Harvick if he left RCR to
drive for Stewart-Haas Racing, he could
get Harvick a title.
Harvick joined SHR at the end of
2013 and this first season has been nothing short of magical. Harvick has four
wins including last weeks version of
a walk-off home run to race his way into
the finale and his 2,083 laps led are
tops in the series this season.
These moments are what you live
for when youre racing or a professional
athlete, he said of his first true chance
to win a championship. You want these
moments.
To make room for Harvick, Stewart
had to jettison Newman, the driver he
brought with him in 2009 when he
became part-owner of Stewart-Haas.
Newman got his pink slip last July
and promptly won the Brickyard 400
the next race out. That victory raised

Smoke never contended.
NASCARs biggest stars are all
absent from this final field of four racing for the Sprint Cup Championship
at Homestead-Miami Speedway on
Sunday.
The new elimination format introduced by NASCAR this season was
designed to emphasize wins over points
and create a survival-of-the-fastest finale. Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski
were eliminated last week. Six-time and
defending champion Jimmie Johnson
and Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCARs most
popular driver, were knocked out in the
second round. Three-time series champion Tony Stewart didnt even make the
16-driver field.
It was a startling development for
NASCAR, particularly since Earnhardt,
Gordon, Johnson and Keselowski combined to win 18 of the 35 races this season. They will be racing only for pride
and a trophy on Sunday while Kevin

but in many senses it was a bit of a seat
swap with Harvick.
Newman, who won a Daytona
500 driving for Roger Penske and at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway driving for
Stewart, was the final seed in the 16-driver field after a steady if unspectacular run
in the playoffs. Last week, he
moved Kyle Larson out of his
way to snag the last spot in the
finale and bumped Gordon.
Despite just 41 laps led all year
and no wins, he has a chance to end
the 20-year championship drought for
Childress.

Just to have this opportunity, this is a
chance for a dream to come true.
Of the foursome, only Hamlin has
been in this position before.
He was the points leader headed
into the finale under a different format
in 2010. But his nerves were shaky
before he even got in the car and he lost
the championship to Johnson. Hamlin
hasnt been the same driver since.
Last season, Hamlin feuded for more
than a month with Logano, his former
Joe Gibbs Racing teammate. Things
boiled over at California when they
raced each other hard and contact sent
Hamlin hard into the wall. He broke
his back, missed five races and failed
to make the Chase for the first time in
his career.

Kluber pitched consecutive 14-strikeout games in

September, the first to accomplish the feat since Arizonas
Randy Johnson in 2004. He became Clevelands fourth Cy
Young winner, joining Gaylord Perry (1972), CC Sabathia
(2007) and Cliff Lee (2008).
Hernandez, who won the AL award in 2010, went 15-6 with
a 2.44 ERA. He struck out 248 in 236 innings.
From the start, Kershaw was headed toward his third Cy
Young in four seasons.
He won the major-league season opener in Australia on
March 22, then a strained upper back put him on the disabled
list for the first time in his 7-year career.
Once he returned, he was nearly unbeatable and kept
looking more and more like his friend, Dodgers Hall-of-Fame
lefty Sandy Koufax.
Kershaw joined Koufax as one of nine pitchers with at least
three Cy Youngs. Roger Clemens leads the list with seven.
The previous pitcher with a unanimous win was Detroits
Justin Verlander, who took the AL Cy Young and MVP in
2011. A year earlier, Philadelphias Roy Halladay unanimously won the NL Cy Young.
Verlander is among six AL pitchers to take the Cy Young
Musings
Its the backup stories that might

be of even more intensity and scrutiny
than the major story of who will win
again, exactly what NASCAR wanted
when they redid the old format.
I am referring specifically to Jeff
Gordons comments after he was eliminated at Sundays by one point
from being in that foursome about
how if NASCAR thought the intensity
was crazy leading up to that point,
wait until they see it in that finale at
Homestead.
You could tell he was angry there
is another word that Id LIKE to use but
the censors (me!) wont allow it! at
a certain unnamed individual but whose
initials are Brad Keselowski.
In all honesty, I cannot blame the
Rainbow Warrior for his emotion.
It was Keselowskis controversial
son and has nearly everyone

back, including center Frank
Kaminsky. Dukes loaded,
too, adding a strong recruiting class headed by preseason
All-American Jahlil Okafor.
But its not just about who
has the best talent. Chemistry
is a big part of which teams
make deep March
runs.
Kentucky
was
the preseason No. 1
last year, too, but fell
out of the rankings
before pulling it altogether
in the NCAA tournament.
Connecticut wasnt exactly a
favorite last season, yet won
the title just like it did in
2011.
With that in mind, maybe
the team under the confetti
canons in Indianapolis will
be one like Michigan State,
Gonzaga, Louisville or, yes,
UConn.
Predicting this seasons
star players could be tough,
too, though there are some
quality choices.
Kaminsky led the Badgers
to the Final Four, is a nightmare matchup as a 7-footer
who can shoot and is a preseason All-American. North
Carolina point guard Marcus
Paige was perhaps college

basketballs best go-to player
last season. Kentucky has
returning stars like big-shot
Aaron Harrison, his twin
Aaron and athletic 7-footer
Willie Cauley-Stein.
The freshmen class might
not be quite as sparkly as last
seasons but theres definitely
talent.
Okafor was the third freshman preseason All-American
in five years and could make
the Blue Devils quickly
forget the loss of Parker to
the NBA. Athletic Stanley
Johnson could do the same
at Arizona, which lost 1-anddone forward Gordon.
Big man Cliff Alexander
will be a handful at Kansas
and Karl-Anthony Towns
might be the most talented
player on Kentuckys roster
this season.
The conference with the
best group of teams will likely be the powerful ACC.
Last season, the ACC
picked
up
Syracuse,
Pittsburgh and Notre Dame.
Louisville will be a part of
the conference this season,
giving it four Hall of Fame
coaches and grinder of a
schedule for its teams.
and MVP since Gibsons NL sweep nearly a half-century ago.

Kershaw became the first pitcher to lead the majors in ERA
for four straight years. He topped baseball this season in complete games and was best among starters in strikeouts per nine
innings and WHIP (walks plus hits per inning).
He struck out 239 in 198 1/3 innings, three behind NL coleaders Stephen Strasburg and Cueto.
Kershaws crowning achievement was the first no-hitter of
his career, at Dodger Stadium against Colorado on June 18.
Soon after, he was picked as an All-Star for the fourth time
in a row.
Kershaw came within one vote of being unanimous last
year. Tim Lincecum had been the last NL pitcher to win backto-back Cys, in 2008-09 for the Giants.
The Cy Young was first awarded in 1956. Up through the
1966 season, there was only one selection from both leagues.
Kershaw earned a $1 million bonus, while Wainwright gets
$500,000, Cueto $75,000 and Bumgarner $25,000.
Kluber gets a $10,000 bonus, while Sale receives $80,000
and gets a $1.5 million boost in his 2019 team option to $15
million.
Kluber played in college at Stetson, leaving one season
before Jacob deGrom arrived. On Monday, deGrom was chosen NL Rookie of the Year.
to say the least move the week before

to try and pass Gordon after a restart
through a very small window that most
of the drivers felt was far too narrow to
accomplish and, well, wrecked Gordon.
That 29th-place finish basically
knocked out Gordon despite finishing
second last week he needed to win to
lock in his place in the NASCAR Final
Four after having what many consider
a renaissance year for the 4-time champion.
What could Mr. Gordon be up to?
In my humble opinion, I think if Mr.
BK is in his sights sometime during the
race and he has a chance to do something, he may very well take it.
Do I think he will do something
stupid?
Perish the thought.
However, if he follows the logic
of NASCAR Chairman Brian France,
who legitimized Keselowskis move as
exactly what the boss wants his drivers

to do go for the win well, you do
the math.
BK better have eyes in the back of his
head and along both sides.
I would not be surprised if Gordon
isnt the only one that might be willing
to do the same thing during that race.
And you know there are always
behind the scenes issues involving drivers we probably dont know about.
After all, this has been a grueling
season.
Some articles I have read and programs I have watched have suggested
the season is too long anyway (some
say the same thing about MLB, the
NBA, etc.) and perhaps the accumulated
fatigue may be a dangerous concern.
Im not saying it will but my guess
is that NASCAR officials will be on the
lookout extra-special come Sunday.
Let the fun begin.

The poor woman may be planning to have

her relationship with the girl wasnt a good

of things in the kitchen sink -- children, pet
dishes, the soles of shoes. As long as your

DEAR ABBY: My four girls and I recently

moved from Texas to Florida to help out my
in-laws. My husband, Jeff, made a big deal
about not wanting to move without a job, so
he stayed behind.
Now I feel like a single parent, and even
though I hide it from my daughters, I am
depressed. I havent been able to find work,
and Jeff says he doesnt want to come here for
several more months.
My husband and I have been together 14
years, and this is tearing me up inside. He
seems to be treating this issue as a joke. I
suspect he likes not having the responsibility
of a wife and kids. Our youngest is 6 months
old and shes growing up without her daddy!
Please help me figure this out. -- LONELY
AND DEPRESSED
DEAR LONELY: How long has this been
going on? Three weeks? Three months? Tell
your husband that because you can no longer
tolerate being separated, you are moving
back to Texas. Be sure to mention that the
responsibility of helping HIS parents should
not be yours alone. Your concerns about your
baby girl are valid. She should be bonding
with both her parents right now -- and the
separation may make it more difficult for her.
DEAR ABBY: Last February we lost my
14-year-old niece to suicide. Needless to say,
it has been very hard on the family, especially
her father, who is my brother. The two of them
were inseparable.
Her mother has been playing the perfect
mother card since then, even though all
they did was fight. Her latest move has the
entire family appalled. Mom is planning a
birthday party for my niece, with a DJ and
everything, even though she never had one
for her while she was alive.
We are all worried about my brothers

Fast-acting glucose
tablets, which are

You should start
feeling better within
15 minutes after
eating sugar. At that
time, test your blood
sugar level. If its still
low, you may need to
eat more sugar.
Particularly
if you have ever
had an attack of
hypoglycemia, you
should always keep
some rescue candy
or glucose tablets
with you at all times.
You need to be able
to treat yourself
at the first sign
of
hypoglycemia.
(Dont forget to keep
some rescue candy
next to your bed
and in your car.) If
you wait too long to
treat hypoglycemia,
you could become
confused or lose
consciousness.
Lower your risk
of
hypoglycemia
by eating at regular
times during the day.
Never skip meals, and
maintain a consistent
level of exercise.
Also,
consider
wearing a medical alert
bracelet or necklace
that identifies you as
having diabetes. This
will help you get
appropriate treatment
in an emergency. If you
should pass out from
hypoglycemia,
the
medical alert bracelet
or necklace tells the
doctors or emergency
medical technicians
that you may need an
intravenous injection
of sugar.

Q: Im trying to recall a movie I saw 30

years ago. Its about a businessman traveling
through the desert, where he passes a slowmoving tanker truck. The truck driver is
offended and attempts to
kill the car driver. It was
an incredibly suspenseful
movie. What was its name?
Is it available on DVD? -O.B., Lynn, Mass.
A: The made-for-TV
movie is Duel (1971),
starring Dennis Weaver.
Weaver plays David Mann,
an electronics salesman
traveling through the desert Steven Spielberg
of California when he
encounters the psychotic truck driver.
Steven Spielberg directed Duel. It is
available on DVD.
Q: I just heard a word I havent heard in
many years -- agog. What is the origin of the
word? -- F.T.L., Bangor, Maine
A: My Merriam-Webster dictionary defines
agog as being full of intense interest or
excitement. Agog comes to us from Middle
English agogge, and from Middle French
en gogues, meaning in merriment.
Q: Im involved in a silly (but fun) lunchroom
debate about the most popular fruit in the
world. Apples and bananas seem to be the most
popular choice. Do you know? -- L.C., Tulsa,
Okla.
A: Id suggest oranges, cherries and grapes.
Americans scarf these down by the tons. But
the operative words in your question are in
the world. Experts tell me its the mango.
Reports show that people around the world eat
three times as many mangoes as they do apples.
Compared to bananas, mangoes are eaten 10to-1. Besides being scrumptious, mangoes also
offer many health benefits.
Q: I saw a movie, No
Highway in the Sky,
starring James Stewart and
Marlene Dietrich. Another
actress, Elizabeth Allan,
was in the film. What can
you tell me about her? -J.Z., Roanoke, Va.
A: Elizabeth Allan was
born April 9, 1910, and Marlene Dietrich
died on July 27, 1990. She
was an English actress who worked in both
Britain and Hollywood. Allan made about 50
films; her first film was in 1931. Later in her
career, she appeared as a frequent panelist on
TV game shows, including the British version
of Whats My Line? She was named
Great Britains Top Female TV Personality of
1952.
Q: This happens to me once or twice each
week: A song or portion of a song comes into
my head and there is no way I can get rid of it.
For me, the only thing to do is to get immersed
in something else as a distraction. I once heard
there was a name for this. What is it? -- B.I.M.,
Glens Falls, N.Y.
A: Experts call it an earworm. An earworm
is a catchy piece of music that continually
repeats through a persons mind after it is no
longer playing. Besides the term earworm,
musical imagery repetition, involuntary
musical imagery and stuck song syndrome
also describe the same thing.
Q: Who invented the last of the great electric
typewriters called the Wheelwriter? -- D.B.,
Fairmont, W.Va.
A: I could not find out who invented the
Wheelwriter, but here is some information
about the typewriter: In 1984, IBM introduced
Wheelwriter 3 and Wheelwriter 5 typewriters.
In 1991, IBM and Clayton & Dubilier
created Lexmark International Inc. Lexmark
developed, manufactured and sold personal
printers, typewriters, keyboards and related
supplies worldwide. I have seen refurbished
Wheelwriters in the $250 range.
Q: On the show Wheel of Fortune, why do
contestants clap during the game? It makes it
hard to hear. Can you please tell them to stop?
-- C.S., Maybee, Mich.
A: I can tell them to stop, but I dont think
theyll listen! I read an interview by a former
contestant, and she said that prior to taping,
producers give instructions as to what to do
during the game. They are told where to look,
how to spin the wheel and when to applaud.
Yep, contestants applaud because the producers
tell them to.
Q: What does CVS stand for in CVS/
pharmacy? -- B.L., Leesport, Pa.
A: CVS stands for Consumer Value Stores.
The first CVS store was opened in Lowell,
Mass., in 1963. Today there are more than
7,500 stores.

Gas to average under $3

House,
Senate
to
in 2015, government says
NEW YORK (AP) The
average price of gasoline will
be below $3 a gallon in 2015,
the government predicted
Wednesday. If the sharply
lower estimate holds true,
U.S. consumers will save $61
billion on gas compared with
this year.
In a monthly report, the
Energy Department reduced
its forecast for global oil prices next year by $18 a barrel to
$83. Weakness in the global
economy will crimp demand
for oil, while production in
places like the U.S. keeps
rising.
The result: Drivers will
pay $2.94 per gallon on average in 2015, 45 cents lower
than this year. Based on
Archives
expected gasoline consumption, thats a savings of $60.9

billion.
That may not seem like
a lot in the context of a
$17.5 trillion U.S. economy,
but economists say it matters because it immediately
gives consumers more money
to spend on other things.
Consumer spending accounts
for 70 percent of the U.S.
economy.
It would be a reversal of
the trend over the last few
years where consumers cant
stretch a dollar far enough,
says Tim Quinlan, an economist at Wells Fargo.
Quinlan says the price of
gasoline is one of the three
big drivers of consumer con-

Terry Rogers, a local Eagle Scout, was
guest speaker at the meeting of the Delphos
Rotary Club Wednesday noon at NuMaudes
Restaurant. Terry told of a recent trip which he
made to a national Scout Jamboree at Valley
Forge, Pa. He was introduced by Arnold Scott,
vice president, who was in charge of the meeting. Club singing was led by Robert Porter.
Dorothy Schwinnen was elected president
of the Landeck Catholic Ladies of Columbia
fidence, along with stock

prices and the unemployment
rate. Lately all three are
moving in the right direction, he says.
The average gasoline price
in the U.S. has fallen for 48
straight days and is at its
lowest point since December
of 2010, according to AAA.
That was also the last full
year when the average came
in below $3 a gallon.
Drivers are now paying
$2.92 per gallon on average,
AAA says. Late fall is often
when the price of gas hits its
low for the year. The government is now saying that these
prices arent just a low point,
but instead will be the norm
next year.

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
vote on Keystone
WASHINGTON (AP) Long-stalled

legislation to build the Keystone XL
pipeline got new life on Wednesday after
Senate Democrats suddenly abandoned
efforts to block the measure in hopes of
helping endangered Sen. Mary Landrieu
keep her seat in energy-rich Louisiana.
Republicans responded swiftly to
Landrieus maneuvering, scheduling a
vote in the House today on an identical bill sponsored by Rep. Bill Cassidy,
Landrieus Republican rival in a Dec. 6
runoff.
It was unclear what impact the votes
would have on the Senate race, but
Senate passage of the bill as early as next
Tuesday would force President Barack
Obama to either sign it into law or veto
the measure just weeks after a Democratic
drubbing in midterm elections.
Republicans and several moderate Democrats insist that construction of the Canada-to-Texas pipeline
would create tens of thousands of jobs.
Environmentalists maintain that the project would have a negative impact and
contribute to climate change.
The White House had no immediate
comment on the days developments.
I believe that we should take the
new majority leader at his word and stop
blocking legislation that is broadly supported by the American public and has
been for quite some time, Landrieu said
in a speech on the Senate floor. I want to
say yes to majority leader new majority leader Mitch McConnell. The time to
start is now.
Landrieu cast herself as an independent willing to challenge Democrats and
Republicans, hoping to shake up her
Senate race.
Ive stood against my leadership,
she told reporters, and added, And Ive

report cyber-crimes than traditional crimes,

cyber-crime victims are much less likely to
alert the police to their occurrence. Sixty-seven
percent of respondents victimized through traditional crimes said they reported the incidents
to the police but only 45 percent who had credit
card information stolen and 26 percent who
had a computer or smartphone hacked said they
reported those crimes to the police.
Results for this Gallup poll are based on
telephone interviews conducted Oct. 12-15,
2014, with a random sample of 1,017 adults,
aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states
and the District of Columbia.

Basically the market year average price is the price

side of the revenue unless it would fall below the reference price, which is $3.70 for corn. Secondly, the market
year average price is used to calculate the current year
actual crop revenue. This calculation is the actual average county yield times higher of the market year average
price or national loan rate (about $1.95 for corn).
For the PLC program the market year average price
is compared to the reference price. Soybeans have a
reference price of $8.40 and if the market year average
is above the reference price, there is no payment. If the
market year average price is below the $8.40 reference
price and above the national loan rate, there would be
a payment for the difference between those prices on
the program acres and program yields. Since the market
year average price is used in calculating program payments for all three new farm bill programs offered to
crop producers, it is critical for producers to understand
how it is calculated. (Bruynis, 2014)
A series of Farm Bill educational meetings will be
held this winter (details forthcoming). Farmers have
three major decisions to make. The Yields Update and
Base Acre Allocations need to be completed by Feb. 27,
2015. The Program Choice election needs to be completed by March 31, 2015. Farmers should expect to make
several trips to the FSA office and should be working on
Yield Updates now.

Trivia
PATIENT CARE.
stood up to the Republicans.

The back-and-forth came against the
backdrop of a new political landscape
and fresh calls for an end to Washington
gridlock. Republicans rolled in midterm
elections, seizing majority control of the
Senate with a net gain of eight seats. A
GOP victory in Louisiana would make it
nine and Cassidy is heavily favored.
Come January, Republicans could
have a 54-46 majority in the Senate if
Cassidy wins, controlling the chamber
and legislation for the first time in eight
years.
McConnell said the election of a
Republican Senate majority has already
changed the dynamic.
I hope this post-election conversion
on Keystone signals Democrat cooperation on a whole host of other energy bills
they have blocked, and whose passage
would help to make America more energy-independent, he said in a statement.
Echoing Landrieus plea for a
vote were moderate Democrats from
Republican states, who argued that the
project that would carry oil from Canada
south to the Gulf Coast. The southern leg
of the pipeline between Oklahoma and
Texas is already operational.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., has moved in the past to prevent the Keystone measure from passing,
giving credence to Republican claims
that Landrieu is ineffective as chairman
of the Energy and Natural Resources
Committee.
The Republican sponsor of the bill,
Sen. John Hoeven of North Dakota, said
the measure has the support of all 45
Republicans and 11 Democrats. It will
be incumbent upon Landrieu to persuade
four more Democrats to back the measure to reach the 60-vote threshold.
Answers to Wednesdays questions:

Carl Cooper hit the longest golf drive in PGA
history as a 31-year-old journeyman. On the par4, 456-yard third hole, Cooper launched his drive
at the 1992 Texas Open. On the fly, the ball hit a
downward-running concrete cart path and took off.
The ball rolled past the fifth green. Then it passed
the sixth tee. It eventually left the cart path and
veered onto an unpaved maintenance road. And
finally it came to a stop behind the No. 12 green.
At many points along its route it could have rolled
out of bounds, but the ball somehow stayed on the
course. Everyone on site agreed it was a minimum
of 750 yards from the No. 3 tee box; some thought
it was more than 800. The figure of 787 yards is the
one most cited because thats the yardage that was
determined by Coopers caddie.
Secretariat raced for only 16 months in 1972 and
1973. In that time, the chestnut stallion became the
first horse in 25 years to win the Triple Crown,, set
record times in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont
Stakes and won 16 of his 31 races.

How was the car known at the Fiat named?
Is there a Tootsie behind the Tootsie Roll?
