Ken Terry, director, Allen County Board of Elections one of those documents will still be able to vote by providing the last four digits of the Social Security number and the ballot is cast as a provisional ballot. If the voter doesnt have identification and doesnt know or have a Social Security number, he or she must sign an affirmation swearing to the voters identity under penalty of election falsification charges and that ballot is, again, cast as provisional. Whether a provisional ballot is counted is contingent upon the verification of that voters eligibility. Many voters do not realize that the provisional ballot is not counted until 710 days after the election so their vote does not affect the calling of the states to different candidates. In addition, Terry reported the board had close to 2,000 provisional ballots, which is up from 1,700 in 2008, and ballots that were cast at the wrong precinct to review. Traditionally, ballots cast at the incorrect precincts would be tossed out.

Delphos comes through to help those in need

Here is a first-hand account of the delivery by local volunteers of assistance items to New York City for Superstorm Sandy victims. BY RICK SCHUCK The Hurricane Sandy Storm Relief projects goal was to generate needed items to assist people in need in one small area of New York City that was especially hard hit. With the help of a local lady from the area, we were able to determine what was needed and how best to distribute it. The local VFW and American Legion had geared up to offer assistance to those in need displaced by the storm. Our collection drive collected items to meet those needs. Clothes of all sorts, coats, toiletries, cleaning supplies and generators were among the items donated and purchased from donated money. Volunteers sorted the clothes and loaded the vehicles and trailers used to transport the supplies to New York. Jay Kundert and Jeff Grothouse donated their time and resources to take the donations to New York. Their cargo van and 6-footby-8-foot trailer were as full as could be when they left for New York Friday morning. My truck was full and the 6-foot-by-12-foot trailer I hauled was over half full. I left for New York with my brother Ray at 9 p.m. on Friday. Literally thousands of pounds of donations left for New York and we arrived at 10 a.m. on Saturday Nov. 17. Once there, we began the task of determining how best to distribute what was brought. We found out that for all the homes flooded, the owners were told to dispose of everything touched by the ocean water; this because there was sewage and oil mixed with the water and there was concern of outbreaks of disease, such as cholera, if the items were kept. This meant that those displaced by the flooding lost everything they owned that was on the first floor, with many homes being only onestory buildings. Those homes still standing now also had to be gutted to remove the possibility of mold growing behind the walls. Washers and dryers, cabinets, clothing, beds and bedding and building materials of all sorts could be seen along the route to our destination. Everything removed from the homes by day was being picked up by the sanitation department by night, to clean it up as soon as possible to prevent rats and other vermin from getting into everything. Many also lost their vehicles which

Report shows disparity in Ohio graduation rates

BRIEFS

STATE/LOCAL

Ottoville Council approves purchase of nearly 12 acres

BY STEPHANIE GROVES sgroves@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE The Village Council approved the purchase of 11.757 acres of Niedecken property in the Industrial Park and will utilize the property for commercial development. The land costs $7,000 per acre, bringing the total purchase price close to $82,300. Council also approved auditing the Villages Personnel Policy and Procedure Manual, Section 6.07, regarding the use of personal employee information. Village council members passed the annual agreement with Monterey Township Trustees for the use of the public library, housed at 349 Wayne St., and the reimbursement of a portion of the yearly electric bill at $1,400 per year. Council member Tony Langhals addressed the absence of the flashing stop light and the danger at the 3-way intersection where routes 66 and 224 meet. Since the storm in June, which took down the flashing light, management of the traffic at the intersection has become perilous. The installation of a new flashing light or any other caution-

COLUMBUS (AP) New statistics show that Ohio has one of the lowest high-school graduation rates for black students, but one of the better rates for white students. The U.S. Department of Education comparable state-bystate graduation numbers show only three states have a wider disparity between graduation rates for blacks and whites. Ohios graduation rate for all students was 80 percent for the 2010-11 school year, the first year in which a common calculation was used in most states. For black students, the rate was 59 percent. For white students, it was 85 percent. For students who come from poor families, it was 65 percent. Iowa had the top overall graduation rate, while Nevada had the lowest. The numbers were reported by The Columbus Dispatch today.

Ohio Senate nixes divisive family planning bill

COLUMBUS (AP) The Ohio Senates leader says his chamber wont act this session on a bill that would boot Planned Parenthood to the back of the line for public family-planning money. Republican Senate President Tom Niehaus told reporters Tuesday that the Senate wouldnt have adequate time to weigh the significant policy issues at stake. He said he let House Speaker William Batchelder, a fellow Republican, know his plans. The full House has not voted on the measure, and its unclear whether the GOPcontrolled chamber will act. Niehaus said he didnt consult his caucus about the decision because there was nothing to discuss at this point. He said he took into account the entirety of the work of Planned Parenthood, which he believes includes needed services that arent available at other places.

Hunters harvest more than 1,300 turkeys during Ohios fall season
Information submitted COLUMBUS Hunters harvested 1,338 wild turkeys during Ohios 2012 fall wild turkey season, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Ohios 2012 fall wild turkey hunting season was open Oct. 13-Nov. 25. This years total is a 2.5 percent decline from 2011, when hunters bagged 1,372 wild turkeys. The 2010 harvest total was 1,425. Wild turkey hunting is a challenging activity that thousands of hunters enjoy year after year with family and friends, said ODNR Director James Zehringer. Ohios wild turkey population remains strong, and we appreciate those hunters who participated in the fall wild turkey season this year. The top 11 counties for fall turkey harvest were: Ashtabula (61), Coshocton (56), Geauga and Tuscarawas (53 each), Knox (46), Clermont (42), Licking (41), Guernsey (39), Holmes (38) as well as Adams and Richland (37 each). Ashtabula was also the top county in 2011, with 67 wild turkeys. Prior to the start of this falls hunting season, Ohios wild turkey population was approximately 180,000. More than 17,000 hunters, not including private landowners hunting on their own property, enjoyed Ohios fall wild turkey season. Hunters could pursue a wild turkey of either sex in 48 counties using a shotgun, muzzleloading shotgun, bow or crossbow. More information about Ohio wild turkey hunting can be found at wildohio.com. Hunters can share photos by clicking on the Photo Gallery tab online. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all.

SAFY (Specialized Alternatives for Families and Youth) recently teamed up with Shear Brilliance Salon to raise money for The Rapunzel Project. For every $5 donation, staff had a chance to win cancer awareness prizes such as jewelry, tote bags, blankets, scarves and more. The Rapunzel Project is dedicated to helping cancer patients keep their hair during chemotherapy via cold cap approach. The caps help preserve hair during treatments by cooling the hair follicles which helps prevent the toxins from reaching them, thus preserving the patients hair. It was a great week and it was rewarding to make contributions that could help to Make a Beautiful Difference in the lives of cancer patients. Participating in the donations are, from left, Kathy Reinsel, Jane Breggeman, Kelly Hackworth, Peggy Grothause, Sherry Bockey and Jenni Verhoff.

The trail, which is designed to link the four corners of Ohio, is a continuous looping hiking trail of 1,444 miles encircling the state.

Also addressed was the contracting of sludge cake removal from the wastewater facility. Quazar Energy Group gave a $4.59 per gallon or $200 per load to treat and remove the waste, which can be used as fertilizer. The Fire Departments station is in need of renovations and includes interior painting of the floor and walls and replacement of existing metal walls. The total anticipated cost for the work is $25,000 to $26,000. The next council meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Dec. 19.

ATHENS (AP) The state is holding an openhouse style forum instead of the formal public hearing that southeastern Ohio gas-drilling opponents had wanted. The Columbus Dispatch reports that opponents of a proposed hydraulic-fracturing waste disposal well in Athens County are rankled the state isnt holding a public hearing. Instead, theyll get a public forum tonight that isnt open to people carrying signs, banners or video cameras. Heather Cantino, a member of the Athens County Fracking Action Network, said the open house doesnt give residents an opportunity to have their comments placed on the record before the state grants a disposal-well permit. But a state spokeswoman said the venue will provide people with greater access to officials.

Senate Dems divided over cuts to benefit programs

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press come up with enough votes in the Senate to cut benefit programs as Republicans are demanding. I hope not if it means Social Security or Medicare benefit cuts, said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I. Theres a growing consensus among Senate Democrats and the White House that Social Security should be exempt from any deficit-reduction package. But some centrist Democrats in the Senate argue that fellow Democrats must be willing to consider cuts to Medicare and Medicaid in order to get concessions from Republicans on taxes. It has to be both a significant revenue increase as well as spending cuts, said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., who is retiring as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said rising health care costs in Medicare and Medicaid are helping to drive future spending, making them an essential part of a long-term deficitreduction package. Ive been part of every bipartisan group here. Weve always put everything on the table, Conrad said. If youre going to solve this problem, youre going to have to deal with where the spending is and the revenue can be raised. whatever the talking points are. I think most of us hold the secretary of state and secretary of treasury to a whole different level. We understand theyre going to support the administration, but we want to know they are independent enough, when administration is off-base, that they are putting pressure. I think thats what worries me most about Rice. Rice answered questions Tuesday from Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte about her muchmaligned explanations about the cause of the September attack in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. At the hour-plus, closed-door session, Rice conceded that her initial account that a spontaneous demonstration over an anti-Muslim video triggered the attack was wrong, but she insisted she had not been trying to mislead the American people when she made her comments five days later. The talking points provided by the intelligence community, and the initial assessment upon which they were based, were incorrect in a key respect: There was no protest or demonstration in Benghazi, Rice said in a statement after the meeting. While we certainly wish that we had had perfect information just days after the terrorist attack, as is often the But senators like Baucus and Conrad increasingly are being drowned out by other Democrats emboldened by the recent election results to fight against benefit cuts. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said he is willing to find savings in Medicare and Medicaid by making them more efficient. But, he said, he wont support benefit cuts. I think the election spoke very strongly about the fact that the vast majority of American people dont want to cut these programs, Harkin said. Congress and the White House are devoting the next three weeks to finding at least a bridge over the fiscal cliff by reducing the sudden jolt of higher taxes and spending cuts in January while laying a framework for addressing the nations long-term financial problems next year. Obama wants to let tax rates rise for wealthy families while sparing middle- and low-income taxpayers. Some Republican leaders, including House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, have said they were willing to consider making the wealthy pay more by reducing their tax breaks. But most Republicans in Congress adamantly oppose raising anyones tax rates. Negotiations are going slowly as each side waits for the other to make concessions.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

DEAR EDITOR: Dear community, Have you toured these two treasures in our community, the Delphos Museum of Postal History and the Delphos Canal Commission Museum. If you have an opportunity when Gary Levitt is giving a tour at the postal museum, please attend. He has so much information that his tours are interesting even to a person like me who is not a stamp collector. If you are a stamp collector, plan on spending hours at this museum. The second treasure is the Delphos Canal Commission Museum. From now to Christmas, there are many decorated trees at the Christmas Tree Festival. The themes vary from tree to tree. Some trees are decorated by community groups while others are decorated by volunteers at the museum. Several trees are decorated with items which will be given to local charities. A group or a family may wish to do this next year. However if the trees do not interest you, the displays in the museum are wonderful. If you look carefully, you will notice you are touring a parlor, dining room, bed room, and a kitchen. Upstairs there is an old store, a school room, a log cabin, a military display with a barbwire tree, toys from the past, and a medical display. There is also the torture machine, an old fashioned machine used for hair permanents. More than one older lady could tell about their scalp burns. The basement has farm items, items from roads and items manufactured in Delphos. There are other displays, too. The price is family friendly because both are free but a donation is always welcome. Thanks to all who volunteer their time to build and maintain these two Delphos treasures. Catherine Heitz Delphos

IT WAS NEWS THEN

WASHINGTON (AP) American consumers are growing more confident about the job market, companies are ordering more equipment and home prices are rising in most major cities. The latest batch of government data suggests that the economy is improving just as the holiday shopping season begins. The only threat is a package of huge spending cuts and tax increases that will kick in unless Congress strikes a budget deal by years end. Rising home values, more hiring and lower gas prices pushed consumer confidence in November to the highest level in nearly five years. And steady consumer spending appears to have encouraged businesses to invest more in October after pulling back over the summer. Those trends could boost economic growth slightly in the final three months of the year. But the real payoff could come early next year if the automatic tax increases and spending cuts known as the fiscal cliff can be averted. Businesses that have postponed expansion plans could move forward with projects, leading to more hiring. Reports Tuesday showed: The Conference Boards consumer confidence index rose to 73.7 in November from 73.1 in October. Both are the best readings since February 2008. The index is still below 90, the level that is consistent with a healthy economy. It last reached that point in December 2007, the first month of the Great Recession. But the index has increased from the alltime low of 25.3 touched in February 2009. The Standard & Poors/ Case-Shiller 20-city index of home prices rose 3 percent in September compared with the same month last year. Prices also gained 3.6 percent in the July-September quarter compared with the same quarter in 2011. Prices increased in 18 of 20 cities over the 12-month period.

WASHINGTON Deep divisions among Senate Democrats over whether cuts to popular benefit programs like Medicare and Medicaid should be part of a plan to slow the governments mushrooming debt pose a big obstacle to a deal for avoiding a potentially economy-crushing fiscal cliff, even if Republicans agree to raise taxes. Much of the focus during negotiations seeking an alternative to $671 billion in automatic tax increases and spending cuts beginning in January has centered on whether Republicans would agree to raising taxes on the wealthy. President Barack Obama has insisted repeatedly that tax increases on the wealthy must be part of any deal, even as White House officials concede that government benefit programs will have to be in the package too. It is the presidents position that when were talking about a broad, balanced approach to dealing with our fiscal challenges, that that includes dealing with entitlements, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday. But even if GOP lawmakers agree to raise taxes, there is no guarantee Democrats can By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press

Senate Dems rally for Rice against GOP opposition

WASHINGTON Senate Democrats rallied to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rices defense as Republicans said they were even more troubled by her account of the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and signaled they would try to scuttle her nomination if President Barack Obama tapped her as the next secretary of state. The personal attacks against Ambassador Rice by certain Republican senators have been outrageous and utterly unmoored from facts and reality, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who called the criticism unfathomable in light of disclosures from the intelligence community. As congressional Democrats and the Obama administration delivered a full-throated defense of the possible diplomatic nominee, Rice was meeting Wednesday with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Bob Corker of Tennessee. Corker is next in line for the top GOP spot on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Well see and were going to sit down and talk to her, Corker told The Associated Press. She always delivers the party line, the company line,

WASHINGTON As events unfolded in what shall ever be known as The Petraeus Affair, one cannot escape noticing that the women in this sordid saga have been handed the short end of the shtick, as though the men are mere victims of ambitious, hormonally driven vixens. Theres the so-called socialite in Tampa, Jill Kelley, who courted generals and exchanged at least hundreds of emails with our lead commander in Afghanistan, John Allen. And theres the biographer with toned arms, Paula Broadwell, who wore tight jeans and allegedly seduced Americas most darling general, David Petraeus. The double standard we apply to men and women in these very human dramas is nothing new, but also nothing short of appalling. Even as we urge women to behave in every way as men, even pushed to arms on the battlefront, the Madonna-whore dichotomy is alive and writhing. The two men are golden, we are inclined to infer. The women, well, what is one to think? Tarnished and branded, discarded as chattel having each served her purpose. Heres an alternative narrative. Lets assume for a moment that everyone involved in this spectacle is actually a good and decent, if

American complex

case the intelligence assessment has evolved. She was joined in the meeting by Acting CIA Director Michael Morell. Rice requested the meeting with the three senators her most outspoken critics but she failed to mollify them and they indicated they would try to block her nomination. We are significantly troubled by many of the answers that we got and some that we didnt get concerning evidence that was leading up to the attack on the consulate, McCain told reporters after a session with Rice that he described as candid. Said Graham, Bottom line, Im more disturbed now than before that 16 Sept. explanation. He said in a later interview that Rice went far beyond the flawed talking points and should be held accountable. Im more troubled today, said Ayotte, who argued that it was clear in the days after the attack that it was terrorism and not a spontaneous demonstration. Rices unusual visit to Capitol Hill typically only nominees meet privately with lawmakers reflects the Obama administrations campaign for the current frontrunner to replace Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton against some strenuous GOP opposition.

KATHLEEN PARKER

Point of View
flawed, person, variations of the definitions notwithstanding. Yes, Kelley and her husband have financial difficulties, but who doesnt these days? Isnt it also possible that Kelley, in addition to enjoying the company of generals, wanted to do something nice for her country by providing a social outlet for military personnel in the area? As for her email exchanges with Allen, the only relevant concern seems to be the general apparently has more time on his hands than a general should. Otherwise, communicating via social media and email is merely our modern campfire. We are social animals, and lonely people will find each other through the smoke. Do we really care who and how people choose to fill the void in their lives? More complicated is the relationship between Petraeus and Broadwell, if only because of an investigation into questionable emails she sent to Kelley, whom she apparently considered a rival. Broadwell is being investigated for cyberstalking and also in

regard to classified documents found on her computer. These investigations are ongoing and, as yet, have confirmed no personal or professional breach. Still, Broadwell has been essentially indicted in the public mind. Her security clearance, which ultimately might justify her possession of the documents in question, has been suspended, which is probably appropriate under the circumstances, though hardly conclusive. Nevertheless, Broadwells reputation has been tarnished well beyond the sin for which she has expressed sincere remorse. The married mother of two has been characterized by an increasingly tabloid press as the scarlet woman, the mistress, an outdated word that indicts a woman but rarely the man, smirkingly suggestive of kept-ness. Broadwell has even been criticized for showing too much arm on TV. Such observations seem odd in a sleeveless era launched by the first lady, whose enviable guns are legendary and often on display. As much as we sympathize with the painful upheaval suffered by the families involved, lets pause a moment for Broadwell and recall that she was an Army officer, a West Point graduate, an accomplished, yes, ambitious, elite member of the military who,

as it turns out, happens to have had a relationship with a man for whom she apparently had strong feelings. Did she cause others pain? Of course, and for this she is suffering by all accounts. Does she deserve to be pilloried in the public square? Or does she deserve the same second chance any similarly accomplished man would be accorded? One does not need to approve of the behavior to grant compassion and suspend judgment, at least until we know whether there is any reason for public interest beyond the prurient. In the meantime, our urgency to apply different standards to women than to men deserves scrutiny. For women, theres no margin for error in public life, yet men walk away virtually unscathed re-elected to office, rehired by Wall Street, re-assigned to a new parish, rehabilitated by the mere act of entering rehab. Puhleez. Broadwell is one of Americas success stories, if you buy the woman-warrior myth. Her only flaw seems to have been falling for another man and, in the way some men do, showing off biceps toned by hundreds of hours of hard work. To the pyre, to the pyre.

Withering press propels Lady Wildcats past Apaches

jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

SPORTS

www.delphosherald.com

By JIM METCALFE

DELPHOS The Jefferson girls basketball team has thrived over the decades under 30-plus-year mentor Dave Hoffman on forcing turnovers that lead to fast-break points. The formula worked well once more Tuesday night as the Lady Wildcats crushed invading Fairview 57-20 in non-league action at Jefferson High School. The stats dont lie: the Wildcats (2-1) forced 31 miscues (11 of their own) even throwing in a 46-38 winning of the backboards (22-16 offensive) that accounted for a 64-44 disparity in fieldgoal attempts. The Red and White finished making 22 shots (including 4-of-5 3-balls) for 34.3 percent to the Lady Apaches seven (1-of-3 triples) for 15.9 percent. We are in a much better flow offensively when the ball is moving up and down the court. That is our game and were at our best in that style, Hoffman said. We moved the ball better as the game wore on, using the skip pass and so forth. We are getting more aggressive taking the ball to the basket as well. The turnovers started from the word go as the hosts forced eight in the first period as the visitors struggled to handle the full- and halfcourt pressure defense of the hosts. Still, Delphos didnt necessarily take advantage as they canned only 4-of-18 shots. A desperation 23-foot 3-ball by Fairviews Ali Hug at the horn got the Apaches within 9-7. Whereas the Apaches only seemed to get worse from then on the seven points in the first was their best output of the night the Red and White were just getting started. The Wildcats kept up their pressure D and forced eight more errors by the visitors, plus they maintained their excellent offensive rebounding, getting second and even third attempts on their treks downcourt. Five different

our defensive improvement from our opener Friday. We got burned off the dribble quite a bit and weve been addressing that in practice, Hoffman added. We were much better keeping things in front of us and that leads to steals. We got into some foul trouble the first half but we got contributions off the bench. As a starter, Rileigh really had a good game. Fairview was 5-of-6 from the line (83.3%) and received five points, 15 boards and four blocks from senior Brittany Conkey, one of only two for the Lady Apaches. They added 15 fouls. The seniorless Wildcats knocked down 10-of-18 freebies (55.6%). Junior Gabby Pimpas had a team-high seven steals, classmate Brooke Hesseling four dimes and 6-1 sophomore Shelby Koenig four blocks. They totaled 11 fouls and will visit Columbus Grove to commence NWC play Dec. 6. In junior varsity action, the Wildcats also went to 2-1 with a 38-18 whipping. Freshman Taylor Stroh led the hosts with eight, while Kayla Bauer countered with eight for the visitors.

Lady Lancers ride third-quarter blitz over Hicksville 58-43 By JIM COX DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com HICKSVILLE - After an ugly first half by both teams, Lincolnview played a beauty of a third quarter and took a 58-43 win over Hicksville in girls basketball action Tuesday night.

The Lady Lancers are now 2-0, the Lady Aces 0-3. After the third quarter started with a Hicksville free throw to put the home team on top 19-17, the visitors went on a 22-4 blitz triggered by the Lancer defense (12 Ace turnovers in the period) to turn the game around at 39-23 with 2:02 on the clock: a Katie Dye free throw, 17-foot corner swisher by Claire Dye, Kaylee Thatcher freebie, slicing layup by Katie Dye, Thatcher layup (assist Katie Dye), nothingbut-net trey from the right wing by Julia Thatcher, Kaylee Thatcher layup (assist by Hannah McCleery), Katie Dye layup, Kaylee Thatcher layup, another wing three by Julia Thatcher and two Julia Thatcher free throws. It wasnt over, however. The Aces sharp-shooting sophomore, Rachel Schroeder (16 second-half points), came alive to lead a run that closed the gap to 43-36 with 4:51 remaining in the game. At that point, though, Lincolnview took control for the final time, getting an elbow basket by Kaylee Thatcher, steal and layup by McCleery, two Claire Dye free throws, an old-style 3-point play from Katie Dye and a Kaitlyn Brant layup (assist Julia Thatcher). With the score 54-40 and only 1:56 remaining, there was no longer any doubt. The first half (18-17, Hicksville) should probably best be forgotten but the stats were noteworthy for their ugliness. In the first 16 minutes, the Lancers shot 6-for-29 (21%) from the field and committed 16 turnovers. The only good stat for the visitors was a 21-12 edge on the boards. Hicksville was 7-of-21 (33%) from the field with 14 turnovers. The Aces 5-10 swing player, McKenzie Gonwick, the only senior on Hicksvilles

LOCAL ROUNDUP

roster, had nine points by then. However, she would not be a factor in the second half. We were being a little too unselfish, making too many passes, said Lancer coach Dan Williamson. The girls had shots in the paint, or they had driving lanes, and they wouldnt take it. Obviously, our passing was not very good but they (the Aces) did a nice job of controlling the tempo. They wanted to slow it down and it was really effective in the first half. In contrast to the first half, Williamson had to love the third quarter numbers for his team - 8-for-15 field goal shooting and only four turnovers, while the defense was wreaking havoc on the Aces backcourt. In the third quarter, their press was huge for us, explained Williamson. I think well do well when teams try to press us. We have the guards who can handle that and can make the right decision. We got some layups and that gave us some confidence. Until then, we werent making any shots. Despite the brick-shooting contest in the first half, both teams came up with some decent numbers. Hicksville ended at 40 percent (16-of40) from the field, while Lincolnview shot at a 34 percent (20-of-58) clip. The Lancers were hot from the stripe - 75 percent (15-of-20); the Aces were not - 53 percent (10-of-19). Hicksville boarded better in the second 16 minutes, ending up with only a 27-29 rebounding deficit, but the Aces committed 32 miscues to the Lancers 22. Lincolnview got balanced scoring from four starters Julia Thatcher (14), Katie Dye (14), Kaylee Thatcher (13) and Claire Dye (11). There was little balance for Hicksville, with Schroeder and Gonwick hitting for 19 and 14. Lincolnview visits Ottoville

Beavers stay perfect at 4-0 with 74-53 win at Oberlin College

OBERLIN The Bluffton University womens basketball team used a dominating performance from junior post Lauren Hutton (New Reigel) to spank Oberlin College 74-53 Tuesday at Philips Gymnasium in the Beavers first game away from the Sommer Center. The beat rolled on for Bluffton as the visitors moved to 4-0 for the first time since the 1991-92 cam-

paign. Oberlin lost for just the second time in six games. The home team scored first a minute into the contest and led 6-3 before Bluffton ran off nine straight points and never trailed again. Hutton, who blistered the nets with 9-of-10 shooting from the field, keyed the run with a triple that put the Beavers up 8-6 at the 16:40 mark. She got to the rack for consecutive buckets midway through the first period, making the score 18-13. With starting point guard Taylor Knight (Perrysburg) stuck on the sideline thanks to a pair of early fouls, fellow freshman Carolin Baker (Bethel-Tate) did not miss a beat as her layin at the 6:24 mark made the score 22-15. The Yeowomen were still within four (27-23) late in the first stanza before three straight Bluffton hoops in the paint gave the Beavers a comfortable 33-23 advantage at the break. Sophomore Mikayla Coburn (McGuffey/Upper Scioto Valley) and Brooke Ruffer (Stryker) converted early in period two, while Hutton dropped in six quick counters as Bluffton opened a 45-30 lead with 14:51 to play. Oberlin trimmed the deficit to just five points (54-49) at the 7:04 mark but triples by Knight and freshman Taylor Whitaker (Mansfield/Lexington) and consecutive chip shots from Hutton helped Bluffton quash any thoughts of a Yeowomen win.

St. Ritas Home Medical Equipment named HomeCare Elite Top Agency
Information submitted LIMA St. Ritas Home Medical Equipment has announced it has been named a Top Agency of the 2012 HomeCare Elite, a compilation of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. Now in its seventh year, the HomeCare Elite identifies the top 25 percent of Medicare-certified agencies and further highlights the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall. Winners are ranked by an analysis of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, process measure implementation, patient experience (Home Health CAHPS), quality improvement and financial performance. The 2012 HomeCare Elite winners demonstrate a commitment to providing patient-centered care and serving as leaders in the home health community. Their success offers data-driven proof of being well-managed and high-quality care providers to hospitals, managed care organizations, ACOs and other potential referral partners across the healthcare continuum, said Susan L. Henricks, president and COO of National Research Corporation, the parent company of OCS HomeCare. Again this year, we updated our methodology to reflect

the rapidly-evolving qualityfocused healthcare landscape and national value-based purchasing trends. HomeCare Elite recognition continues to gain importance given the increased regulatory mandates and the threat of shrinking reimbursement revenue. Home health agencies that have earned recognition among the HomeCare Elite demonstrated that they not only can adapt to an evolving marketplace but continue to excel in clinical, patient experience, quality improvement, and financial outcomes, said Marci Heydt, product manager for the postacute care business group of DecisionHealth. The HomeCare Elite is the only performance recognition of its kind in the profession. The 2012 HomeCare Elite is co-sponsored by National Research Corporation (also known as OCS HomeCare), the leading provider of cross-continuum healthcare metrics and analytics, and DecisionHealth, the publisher of the industrys most respected independent newsletter Home Health Line. The data used for this analysis were compiled from publicly available information. The entire list of 2012 HomeCare Elite agencies can be downloaded by visiting the National Research Corporation website at www.nationalresearch. com.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) A New York man claiming part ownership of Facebook indicated Tuesday that his lawyer wants off the case because hes received threats, but he opposed the lawyers motion to withdraw. I appreciate the fear for his own safety that he has and the threats that have been made against him, Paul Ceglia of Wellsville said during a telephone conference to consider Ohio attorney Dean Bolands request to leave the case. But Ceglia said it would be hard to find another attorney for his 2-year-old lawsuit, especially since his arrest last month on criminal charges accusing him of doctoring and destroying evidence to support his Facebook claim. Hes pleaded not guilty. Boland filed the request to withdraw last month, after Ceglias arrest on federal charges. He detailed his reasons in two private letters to the judge. On Tuesday, Facebook attorney Orin Snyder asked that Bolands reasons be made public to determine whether they might be overblown, exaggerated or worse. The judge gave Boland until

BUSINESS Man suing Facebook wants lawyer to stay

Dec. 4 to respond and said hed rule on the request after that. At least a half dozen lawyers or law firms have withdrawn as Ceglias attorney before Boland. Ceglias original attorney, Paul Argentieri of Hornell, has stayed on the case in a secondary role. But he said Tuesday that his own future is uncertain because hed recently received a subpoena to testify about Ceglia before a grand jury. Snyder, from New York City firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, dismissed Ceglias suggestion that hed influenced federal prosecutors downstate to bring the criminal charges to better Facebooks chances in the civil case. In his 2010 lawsuit, Ceglia claims he and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg signed a software development contract in 2003 that included a provision entitling Ceglia to half-ownership of Facebook in exchange for $1,000 in startup money for Zuckerbergs then-fledgling idea. Zuckerberg counters the document he signed had only to do with a street-mapping database called Streetfax that Ceglia had hired Zuckerberg, then a Harvard University student, to

Carbon monoxide monitor can save your life and home

DEAR DOCTOR K: What is carbon monoxide? And why do I need carbon monoxide monitors in my house? DEAR READER: Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, colorless, odorless gas. It sounds harmless, but breathing it in can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal. Because you cant see, smell or taste carbon monoxide, it can kill you without warning -- that is, unless you have carbon monoxide monitors to warn you of the danger. You might be surprised how many sources in your house can release carbon monoxide. These include cars, small gasoline engines (such as lawnmowers), stoves, furnaces, gas ranges, water heaters and clothes dryers. The risk of poisoning is especially high in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation. When you take in a breath, you pull lots of oxygen into your lungs. The oxygen passes from your lungs into the blood. There, it attaches to a protein inside your red blood cells, called hemoglobin, and takes a ride as your blood circulates throughout your body. Thats how oxygen reaches every cell in the body -- and every cell needs oxygen. Normally, theres virtually no carbon monoxide in the air you breathe. However, if one of the sources Ive listed above is releasing carbon monoxide in the air, it also passes from your lungs into the blood and attaches to hemoglobin. In fact, it attaches much more readily and sticks more tightly to hemoglobin than does oxygen. As a result, the blood cant carry oxygen throughout your body. Without enough oxygen, cells suffocate. If youre exposed to just low levels of carbon monoxide, you may feel tired and achy and have impaired memory and concentration, shortness of breath, dizziness or fatigue. If you breathe in high levels of carbon monoxide and dont get immediate treatment, you could lose consciousness and die. Even if you recover, theres a risk of long-term brain damage. To reduce your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, first and foremost install carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Put them in hallways near bedrooms and in garages attached to living areas. You

should also: -- Open the flue when you use a fireplace. -Never use charcoal grills or hibachis indoors. -- Buy appliances that vent to the outside. -Have fuelburning appliances professionally installed. -Have your heating system, flues and chimneys professionally inspected before turning on your heater for winter. -- Never operate gas-powered tools or engines inside. -- Never leave your car running inside an attached garage. Several years ago, the carbon monoxide detector in our home sounded an alarm. I was upstairs, and came downstairs to smell gas in the kitchen. It turned out there was a leak in the line to the gas range. So the carbon monoxide detector had alerted us to a fire danger as well. Fortunately, everything worked out well.

Make cookie dough logs to give as a gift

Cookie dough can be frozen with ease. You can roll cookie dough into logs, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag. When youre ready to use the dough, thaw it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, then slice and bake. You can also place cookie dough in each compartment of an ice-cube tray for freezing and thawing. If its for cutouts, form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag or storage container. The first reader tip shares a great use for cookie dough logs: Homemade gift: Jar gifts with cookie ingredients layered inside are nice, and baked goods in tins or on plates are great; but I like to give frozen cookie dough logs wrapped in plastic wrap. Its a happy medium and a little different than the usual homemade cookie gifts. You can wrap the dough log in giftwrap or butcher paper. Add the recipe or baking instructions on an adhesive label or gift tag. -- Paula, New York Make muffin bars: In the winter, my three teenage boys and my husband bake two double batches of muffins each week. We bake them in a 9-by-13 pan because it is easier to bake and clean up, so they end up being more like muffin bars. The guys can plow through a 9-by-13 pan of muffins in a half an hour easily, especially if it is a favorite flavor, like banana-chocolate chip. The child responsible for dinner makes biscuits or cornbread with dinner where appropriate, and for breakfast the next day, they eat syrup over the cornbread and jam or honey on the biscuits. -Zakity, Oregon

high, I gave her a lesson on what a sucker is: I shopped thrift stores and secondhand shops to find lots of gently-used namebrand clothing at a fraction of the cost. Now, while her peers might have seven pieces of name-brand clothing their parents purchased new, my daughter has 50 pieces she can combine to make endless outfits. I also let her rip and restyle anything; it only cost $.50, so why not? Pretty soon little girls who lived in McMansions were begging their mothers to go to the Salvation Army Boutique.

Man says prayer group leader told him to kill wife

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Less than three months after he stood as a groomsman in the wedding of two friends he had known since college in Texas, Micah Moore walked into a suburban Kansas City police department and unloaded a dark secret: He had taken the womans life at the request of her new husband, a charismatic prayer group leader. Police said Bethany Deatons death initially appeared to be a suicide. Officers found a note and empty bottle of over-the-counter pain medication along with her body in a minivan parked by a lake on Oct. 30. It wasnt until Moore confessed nearly two weeks later that police announced she had been killed. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on a first-degree murder charge today. In the criminal complaint filed in support of the charge, police detailed a stunning series of allegations that Moore made as part of his confession. Moore, 23, lived with Deaton and her husband, Tyler, in a communal home shared by male members of their prayer group. He told police that several members had sexually assaulted Bethany Deaton and that they were worried she would tell someone. Moore said thats when Tyler Deaton ordered him to kill Bethany Deaton, according to a criminal complaint. Tyler Deaton has not been charged in his wifes death. Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said Deaton was under investigation but declined to elaborate. Deaton does not have a listed phone number and did not respond to requests for comment The Associated Press made through Facebook and phone and email messages to his father. Moores attorney, Melanie Morgan, declined to comment. Tyler and Bethany Deaton moved to Kansas City in 2009 from Texas to attend a six-month internship at the non-accredited International House of Prayer University. The two had met as freshmen at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, in 2005, and two years later Tyler started a prayer group, a former longtime member of the group told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was afraid of retaliation from Tyler Deaton. Tyler Deaton was listed at one point as a division coordinator for IHOPUs friendship groups, but the school said that was a mistake. It issued a statement distancing itself from Tyler Deaton after Moore, a student at IHOPU, was arrested. Since Bethanys death it has come to light that over five years ago, both she and Mr. Moore joined an independent, close-knit, religious group in Georgetown, Texas, the

Man arrested in girls death due in court

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP) After her father and stepmother were arrested last year for chaining her to a dresser, young Jersey Bridgeman received something of a fresh start when she began kindergarten this fall in northwestern Arkansas. Then, last week, the 6-yearolds body was found in a vacant home two doors from where she had been living with her mother. The fact that she went through what she went through when she was 5. ... And then this happens, Chelsea Jouett said Tuesday after dropping a teddy bear off at Jerseys home. She had such a rough life. Police have arrested neighbor and family friend Zachary Holly, 28, in Jerseys death. Holly is due in court today in Bentonville, a city about 215 miles northwest of Little Rock that is best known as the home of Wal-Marts headquarters. Holly was being held on capital murder, kidnapping and residential burglary charges Tuesday night at the Benton County Jail. A judge is likely to appoint a lawyer to represent him during his court appearance today. Hollys arrest Monday came about a week after Jersey was found dead in an empty house next to the mobile home where Holly lived. Police said a search turned up the girls body just minutes after someone reported her missing Nov. 20. So far, Bentonville police have not said how Jersey died or released any possible motives. Chief Jon Simpson said many questions about the investiga-

school said in a statement. This religious group of fewer than 20 people was led by Tyler Deaton. They relocated to Kansas City over the last few years and operated under a veil of secrecy. IHOPU is the educational arm of International House of Prayer of Kansas City, an evangelical Christian group focused on missions and preparation for the end of time. The Deatons prayer group had at least two houses, with women living in one and men in another. Bethany Deaton, 27, moved into the mens house with Tyler Deaton after they married in August. According to the criminal complaint, Moore told police that men in the house began drugging Bethany Deaton and sexually assaulting her soon after she moved in. He said she was seeing a therapist and group members became concerned she would tell the therapist about the assaults.

clothes as their building was being torn apart to repair all the damage, the flood waters having reached about three feet in depth. From there, we were headed to another VFW post that needed clothes and other items. Before we could get there, we received a call that there was an area in the Rockaways that needed all the clothes we had. We turned around and went to the 90th Street beach area of Rockaway to find dozens of people rummaging through the few clothes that were there. With the help of a fire department chaplain, we were able to drop off all the clothes we had and before we were done unloading, people were coming to sort through the clothes. One lady thanked us very much for the help as she was one who had lost all her belongings. We unloaded Jays van completely and kept a few boxes of items in the trailer I was hauling to take to another place. By this time it was about 6 p.m. and time to get Jay and Jeff on their way as they were going to head back home. After dropping bothoff at a motel in Brooklyn, my brother Ray and I headed out to Long Island to spend the night with a cousin, arriving there around 8:30 p.m. A very long day behind us, we relaxed and went to bed. On Sunday, I visited a friend on Long Island who had been out of power for almost two weeks but otherwise was okay. While there, he and his daughters gathered up four bags of clothes so I could take them to those in need. I also found out that the donations I still had in the trailer would be better served at the American Legion post we first went to. When I got there, I was told they had a load of clothes that they didnt need, so we loaded the clothes on the trailer so we could take them to the area we were at the day before, the trailer being over half full when I left. After loading the trailer and dropping off a generator and other supplies, I went off to pick up the lady who had helped us the day before, who was willing to help drop off the new batch of items I had picked up. When we got to the place we had dropped off the clothes on Saturday, we found that half the clothing had already been picked up by those needing it. There were even more people around than the day before and they were ready to take the additional clothing, cleaning supplies and toiletries we dropped off. By the time we were done unloading the trailer, all the cleaning supplies, soaps and toiletries were gone. The lady who helped us, Ann Hanovic, a childhood friend, had lost her house as well as her daughters house from the flooding. The ocean at her house was at least six feet deep at street level and she lives three blocks from the beach. Both her and her

daughters house have to be gutted and rebuilt. Needless to say, she is living the very worst of the storm. She was very grateful for all we brought to help her community. Everywhere we went to drop off donations we were greeted by thankful people. We know first-hand that all the donations went to those in need.

On Nov. 15, students from St. Johns High School collected items for the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. Seeking God Prayer Group worked with the VFW in Delphos to help with this project. Items collected were clothing, cleaning supplies and toiletries. The VFW transported the donated item to the east coast. Emily McRedmond and Calvin Vonderwell, leaders of the Seeking God Prayer Group, stand with some of the donated items.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) Wearing elf ears and wizard hats, sitting atop their dads shoulders or peering from balconies, tens of thousands of New Zealanders watched their favorite Hobbit actors walk the red carpet today at the film trilogys hometown premiere. An Air New Zealand plane freshly painted with Hobbit characters flew low over Wellingtons Embassy Theatre, eliciting roars of approval from the crowd. Sam Rashidmardani, 12, said he came to see Gollum actor Andy Serkis walk the red carpet and he wasnt disappointed. It was amazing, Rashidmardani said of the evening, adding his Gollum impression: My precious. British actor Martin Freeman, who brings comedic timing to the lead role of Bilbo Baggins, said he thought director Peter Jackson had done a fantastic job on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

If its possible, its probably even better than The Lord of the Rings. I think hes surpassed it. While it is unusual for a city so far from Hollywood to host the premiere of a hoped-for blockbuster, Jacksons filming of his lauded LOTR trilogy and now The Hobbit in New Zealand has helped create a film industry here. The film will open in theaters around the world next month. Perhaps the most well-known celebrities to walk the carpet were Cate Blanchett and Elijah Wood, who reprise their roles in the LOTR in the Hobbit.

tion will be answered when a probable cause affidavit comes out today. Simpson said Holly worked at a restaurant in town called The Flying Burrito Company. The manager, Tabitha Stevens, confirmed that Holly worked there but declined to comment further. One neighbor, Julie Pickard, said Tuesday that Holly wept the day Jerseys body was found. He was crying for a long time, said Pickard, who lives on the other side of the home where Jerseys body was found. Later that day, Pickard said, police knocked on her door and told her to let them know if she saw a man wearing Mountain Dew pajama pants. (Holly) was wearing Mountain Dew pajama pants, Pickard said. No one answered the door Tuesday at the mobile home where police say Holly lived with his wife. A childs bicycle rested on a patch of grass near the home. Simpson, the police chief, told The Associated Press the couple didnt have any children but that Hollys wife has a child who is pretty much the same age as our victim. Simpson described Holly as an acquaintance and a friend of Jerseys family. Next door, a childs bike with training wheels lay in front of the house where police said Jersey lived with her mother, DesaRae Bridgeman. Nearby was a deflated balloon decorated with the kinds of princesses that fill little girls dreams.
