Superintendent Joel
Hatfield reported the staff
Christmas breakfast will be
on Dec. 20, with serving at
6 a.m.
Concerning the building
and grounds, we met with
Sprint Electric and Graybar
about the electrical issues in
the K-12 building, Hatfield
said. We are looking at
grounding issues and wiring
for the cameras. We need to
replace equipment approxi-
mately nine of the cameras
with a newer, more up-to-date
version and put these new
digitals down the main hall-
ways because the digitals do
not need an electrical source.
We think it is an internal issue
with our electrical system. It
is going to be a trial and error
for us. We are looking to find
a retired electrician to come
in and look over the electrical
issues and do the upkeep.

DELPHOS Delphos residents Lance and Annette Brown were friends with Jim Winget
for many years. Jim and Lance had known each other since fourth grade and had been best
friends ever since they were best men at each others weddings.
After attending The Ohio State University, Jim worked in Washington D.C. In 2011, he was
diagnosed with Lupus, which he learned to live with.
This summer, Jim was working on a Habitat for Humanity house when he started experi-
encing a lot of back pain, Annette explained. Doctors found a large tumor on his spine, which
was removed but then grew back even larger within a week of his surgery.
Jim anticipated that he was not going to survive the cancer and approached Lance on grant-
ing his last wishes, which was for his ashes to be put into fireworks and scattered somewhere
in the great state of Ohio.
Jim said to me, Just in case I dont make it, youre in charge of the funeral, Lance said.
During this years 4th of July holiday, Jim was in the hospital and that was where the Browns
and all of Jims family and friends went to visit him.

The Brumback Library
Brumback Library again
named among best in U.S.
BY ED GEBERT
Times Bulletin Editor
VAN WERT For the third straight year, the Brumback
Library has been recognized as one of the best in the country.
Brumback Library was named as one of Americas Star
Libraries by Library Journal, one of 32 Ohio libraries to
receive a star designation.
In comparison to libraries with similar budget and funding
levels in its respective category, the Brumback Library was
ranked eighth in the nation and first in Ohio. For this honor, the
Brumback Library was given a four-star rating. Last year, the
library also received a four-star rating and in 2011 was given
a three-star honor.
These rankings clearly demonstrate that the resources, ser-
vice and programming efforts the Brumback Library provides
are well-utilized by Van Wert County residents of all ages,
remarked Brumback Library Director John Carr.

DELPHOS After more than 35
years as an artist, Michael Bendele
still feels like a beginner.
Bendele is an artist who works
with forged metal. He heats bars of
metal and while its hot, he shapes it
to create art.
Metal is a challenging material to
work with and Im always learning
something new, he said.
His art does not consist of sculp-
tures just to be admired but they serve
a purpose and have meaning.
Its solving problems in a creative
way and its providing something
that you cant get anywhere else,
Bendele said.
He makes railings, tables, candles,
bowls and more for individuals and
he also creates pieces for churches
and organizations.
One of his most recent pieces
was revealed last week at the new
Wassenberg Art Center facility at
the location of the former Van Wert
Armory. He created a archway to be
located in front of the building.
The Armory was going to be
demolished and this provides an out-
side symbol to show re-purposing,
Bendele said. You know this is no
longer just an armory because of the
sculptures in the front and you can
probably tell its related to art.
On another level, Bendele wanted
the sculptures to serve as a portal or
an archway from the street.
My idea creates an interest to
cause people to come in off the streets
and see whats inside, he said.
For each piece that he creates,
coming up with the idea for it is at
least half of the job.

For the most recent
information concerning the
I-75 reconstruction proj-
ect through Lima and Allen
County, and the safety
upgrade of Ohio 117/309 on
Limas east side please visit:
www.odotlima75.org
I-75 between Fourth
Street and Ohio 81 in Lima
will have occasional night-
time lane restrictions during
reconstruction of the existing
lanes of pavement, replace-
ment of mainline bridges
and reconstruction of the
interchanges. Work began in
March 2013 and will con-
tinue through fall of 2015.
Traffic is maintained two
lanes in each direction the
majority of the time. Lane
restrictions generally occur
from 7 p.m.-10 a.m. the fol-
lowing morning. The follow-
ing is project information for
the coming week:
I-75 Mainline
-Construction of the noise
walls along I-75 between
Ohio 117/309 and Reservoir
Road is underway and will
continue through the winter.
Construction is taking place
on the east side of the inter-
state first.
-Traffic in both the north-
bound and southbound direc-
tions is now traveling on the
new concrete pavement from
just south of Fourth Street
to a point prior to the Ohio
117/309 interchange where
traffic is then transitioned
back to the existing pave-
ment.
- By mid-December traffic
on I-75 will be traveling on
new concrete pavement from
just south of Fourth Street to
Reservoir Road and then be
transitioned back to the exist-
ing pavement.
- Paving of asphalt in the
median area between Ohio
81 and Stewart Road will
continue. Daytime lane clo-
sures will occur in this area
on Saturday. Motorists are
cautioned to watch for trucks
entering and exiting the high-
way as the operation contin-
ues.
-Embankment work
between Ohio 81 and
Reservoir is ongoing and will
continue for the next several
weeks. Motorists are cau-
tioned to watch for trucks
entering and exiting the zone.

been placed throughout the
project area.

Ohio 117/309 interchange

struction of the Ohio 117/309
roadway itself. Traffic wish-
ing to access I-75 northbound
or southbound is directed

Drivers Escape
Serious Injury
Two drivers, Virgil Thines,
503 East Second St. and C.C.
Jenkins, Rushmore, were for-
tunate in escaping death or
serious injury when the cars
they were driving crashed at
Scott and Fourth streets at
about 9:20 Saturday morning.
Thines was driving south
on Scott street with the M.B.
Lindemann grocery truck and
was crossing Fourth when the
Jenkins machine, a Ford tour-
ing car, struck the right side of
his truck near the rear wheel.
A wheel was broken off the
truck and it overturned forty
feet from the intersection.
Thines was pinned under the
machine until Jenkins went to
his aid.
The Jenkins car turned
completely over, landing right
side up, after which the driver
crawled out through the bro-
ken top which was complete-
ly crushed and other damage
was done.
Thines sustained only a
slight contusion on the side
of his head. Jenkins was not
injured. Both are congratulat-
ing themselves on their fortu-
nate escapes.

New Locomotives Are

Painted Olive Green
And Striped With
Red and Gold
Are railway locomotives
to follow the example of the
automobile industry in the
matter of style and color?
Twenty new locomotives,
which will be delivered to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
next week by the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, will be
painted olive green, striped
with red and gold, and put into
service on the passenger trains
between Washington and New
York.
So far as is known, this is
the only railroad to change in
recent years of its locomotives
from the usual sombre black.
When these verdant giants

The year is almost over but there is still one month
to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Lincoln
Highway. We can celebrate that this coast to coast high-
way, sometimes called Main Street Across America,
especially since it goes right down Fifth Street in our
town.
The Lincoln Highway began in Times Square, at
Broadway and Forty-second, in New York City and
ended at the Pacific Ocean in Lincoln Park, San
Francisco, 3,389 miles west. From New York, it angled
southwest through Trenton and Philadelphia, where
it turned west, beginning its path across 12 states;
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and
California.
Carl Fisher is known as the father of the Lincoln
Highway. Fisher was a man of ideas. In 1912, he
hatched a new idea, a coast-to-coast highway. In
September of that year, he threw a large dinner party
for the leaders of the Indianapolis automobile manufac-
turing people. He knew the enthusiasm and capitol of
these men could get the highway started. He told them
that a gravel highway could be built from coast to coast
for about 10 million dollars. This would be for basic
road building materials. He thought counties and cit-
ies along the route could provide labor and machinery.
(Note: Fisher was the man responsible for paving the
Indiana Motor Speedway and inaugurating the Indy
500 in 1911.)
Fisher was also the founder of the Prest-O-Lite
Company, the maker of carbide headlights. Fishers
speech at the dinner was well received with the
first major pledge, a $300,000 offer from Frank A.
Seiberling of Goodyear. The time had come the first
Model T rolled off the Ford Assembly line in 1908 and
people were getting automobile fever. Fisher wanted
his dream highway finished in time for 25,000 cars to
cross the continent for the Panama Pacific Exposition
in San Francisco, only two and one half years away.
During the spring of 1913, Fisher hurriedly called
several informal and closed meetings in Detroit, the
heart of the automobile industry. As a result, sub-
stantial subscriptions for the highway came from
the Hudson Motor Company and Willys Overland.
Henry Ford did not support the program because he
thought roads should be paid for by everyone through
taxes. However, Henry B. Joy, of the Packard Motor
Company came onboard. Hes the one who suggested
the highway be in honor of Abraham Lincoln. This was
before the Lincoln Memorial was built in Washington,
D. C. and many people were anxious to do something
in honor of Abraham Lincoln.
In July 1913, the group met again in Detroit, where
they acted to put the organization into official exis-
tence. Those in attendance were: Henry Joy, Roy
Chapman, Emory W. Clark, Arthur Pardington and
Henry Bodman. Fisher was absent. He and Joy could
not agree on the chosen route. Joy became presi-
dent of the Lincoln Highway Association; Fisher and
Pardington, vice presidents; and Clark was elected
treasurer. Pardington was also placed on the payroll
because he administered the day-to-day operations of
the association. Now all they needed was the route.
Joys route was chosen because of its directness and
easy terrain and the fact that a motorist could reach the
high point across the mountains at less than 9,000 feet.
It was not chosen for its scenic beauty but for a direct
route. Fisher wanted to take the road through Kansas
and Colorado. Officials of those two states were very
disappointed with the chosen route.
The public announcement of the highway route was
made 14 September 1913. October 30 was set aside
as a national day of celebration for this memorial to
Lincoln. The farmers in Indiana marked the occasion
by combining it with Halloween and set jack-o-lanterns
on fence posts along the route. Parades, bonfires and
fireworks were held in towns along the route.
By early 1914, it was apparent to the directors
that the association was in financial difficulty. Joy,
Fisher and other founders personally underwrote the
preliminary expenses. The group realized roads of
gravel would not last so they suggested concrete. A.Y.
Gowen, of Lehigh Portland Cement Co. offered a dona-
tion, thinking the ocean-to-ocean highway might be
a proving ground for his new road building material.
They would create sample strips of concrete, called
seedling miles. The first seedling mile was completed
near DeKalb, Ill., in the fall of 1914. The year of 1914
saw the first effort in making the red, white and blue
Lincoln Highway markers. In 1915 they poured seed-
ling miles of concrete in Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana.

Close of business November 22, 2013
Where has the year gone?
Its already November and weve had
our first snowfall.
To many peoples surprise, weve
already had a Christmas story in the paper.
Im sure with the economy, the Delphos
Community Christmas Project will need
every bit of time they have to pull together
a nice holiday for those who need a little
boost. Its tough out there and every penny
will count.
It will be that way for many of us, I fear.
Most of us are fortunate and have jobs. It
may not be the one we want or need but a
job none the less.
And here comes the quandry: What
place will Thanksgiving have this year?
Ive written several times of how I feel
perhaps one of the most necessary of holi-
days the one where we are supposed to
count our blessings and be thankful for
what we have is going to be lost in the
commercial frenzy known as Christmas
shopping season.
Stores are already offering Black Friday
pricing to move as much merchandise as
they can before the dreaded Christmas
markdown. Trees and tinsel have popped
up everywhere.
Christmas shopping no longer starts on
Black Friday. Many stores are open on
Thanksgiving. I saw on the news a guy was
already set up in a parking lot earlier this
week to be first in line on Friday. Really?
What could possibly be so important on his
list to waste a week of his life in a parking
lot?
Maybe his time would be better spent in
a homeless shelter or soup kitchen so he
can see what is really important.
In my little corner of the world, Im
plotting and planning that special meal that
brings our families and loved ones together
for food, fellowship and yes, football.
The turkey will roast and fill the house
with that delectable, mouth-watering smell.
The potatoes will be bubbling on the stove
and the deviled eggs will disappear before
the meal hits the serving dishes.
Well bow our heads and say a prayer of
thanks for all who are around our table and
those who could not be there for whatever
reason.
My sister-in-law and I will chat while
we clean the table, put away leftovers and
do the dishes.
The men will head into the living room
to watch a game and soon the soft con-
tented sound of snoring will waft into the
kitchen.
Now thats what Im talkin about.
Thanksgiving will be a tough holiday
for some, too. A Thanksgiving feast may
be out of reach and some will find little to
be thankful for. But its the little things we
need to give thanks for.
If you are breathing, be thankful. Many
will face a Thanksgiving with one or more
empty chairs.
If you have a roof over your head, be
thankful. Many are homeless.
If you have food, be thankful. Many
people are wondering where their next
meal will come from.
If you have a job, rejoice. You all know
what its like out there.
If you have your health, dance.
There is always someone else who has
less.
We learn from history that we do not learn from history.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, (1770-1831) philosopher

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
One of a kind-ness
WASHINGTON -- Meet
Simile and Sui Generis.
Simile, to refresh memo-
ries, is a favorite rhetorical
device of writers that com-
pares two essentially unlike
things that nonetheless have
similar characteristics: The
quarterback was like a loco-
motive.
Sui generis, the Latin
phrase meaning unique or
one of a kind, is a help-
ful restraint upon the former.
Some things, even if they
share certain characteristics,
shouldnt be compared. Sui
generis is the braking system
on a rhetorical locomotive, or
at least it should be. That was
a metaphor, by the way, and
not a very good one.
We in the news busi-
ness could stand to apply
the brakes to our runaway
impulse to similize. I per-
sonally love a good simile,
which is often a way to inject
levity into a column. But
lately weve seen instances
of simile-itis that might have
saved readers and viewers
some angst, even if writers
and pundits were left with
less to say. (Lets go light on
the air horns, please.)
In the past several days,
weve heard news people and
others compare Obamacare to
Katrina and Iraq. Sarah Palin
compared our national debt
to slavery. Countless times
in recent years weve seen
Nazi applied to people with
whose policies or politics we
disagree, none so frequently
as George W. Bush, though
President Obama, too, has
had a few turns.
All of the above are clear-
ly sui generis and should be
retired from any future simi-
les unless they are referring
to truly like things, not just
a single persons impression
of the world while musing
on current events. Katrina is
like Sandy because they were
both natural disasters, though
significantly more people
died in Katrina than in Sandy.
Iraq is sui generis and noth-
ing like Vietnam, to which it
was sometimes compared.
Nazis and the Holocaust
shouldnt be compared to
anything else. The system-
atic, state-sponsored extermi-
nation of 6 million Jews, as
well as others, is sufficiently
horrific to stand alone. Pro-
lifers who sometimes charac-
terize abortion as a Holocaust
are probably not helping the
cause of revelation.
Finally, slavery merits its
own place in Americas mem-
ory. To compare it to anything
else, especially something as
mundane as debt, is wrong on
its face. Indentured servitude
to China might have been a
better choice for Palin, who
prefaced her remark with,
This isnt racist, but ...
Note: Anytime you start
a sentence with This isnt
racist, but ... , you probably
shouldnt finish it.
In Palins defense, she
obviously meant no offense
and the attacks in response
have been so vicious that
the attacks themselves are
beyond comparison. One
in particular was so awful
that I wont repeat it. Just
as Palin didnt deserve such
an onslaught, people read-
ing this column in good faith
dont deserve to have such
wretched thoughts imposed
on their psyches.
These recent examples
of similes gone awry raise
two questions: What is the
impulse that drives our need
to make such comparisons?
And why do we react so vis-
cerally when we do?
The impulse is usually to
elucidate, i.e., this is as bad
as that. But it is also partly
lazy. Do we really have so
little imagination that all we
can do is summon Katrina
every time an administration
fails to meet our expecta-
tions? Or Hitler to denote our
impression of bad? Surely it
is a rhetorical crime to turn
someone so evil into a cliche.
From a purely political
perspective, the impulse may
be driven by the desire to
remind people of the past
transgressions of political
foes. Thus, when commenta-
tors say Obamacare is like
Katrina, the mind flits from
Barack Obama to George W.
Bush and only the differences,
rather than the single similar-
ity of administrative incompe-
tence, register: People died in
Katrina and President Obama
only wants to help people.
Through subliminal jujitsu,
the real comparison lands in
the community psyche.
Conversely, as Salon polit-
ical writer Brian Beutler sug-
gested during a recent con-
versation, even Republicans
may see benefits to this com-
parison in that it neutralizes
the ongoing, negative liabil-
ity of Katrina for the GOP.
But then the cycle continues
into absurdity. If Obamacare
collapses and Republicans
present Americans with
Ryancare, we likely can
expect Democrats to char-
acterize every glitch as the
GOPs Katrina II.
To the most important
point, comparing a horrific
tragedy or atrocity to any
thing else trivializes and
diminishes it. By trying to
capture, quantify and cate-
gorize others suffering, we
trespass on the sacred.
Some things are like noth-
ing else -- and should be left
to rest in peace.

DEAR EDITOR:
I want to say thank you to a very special organ donor who in November 1997, allowed
me to be alive today!
I received a heart transplant at the Cleveland Clinic. I will always remember the day my
donors little sister asked if she could hear her brothers heart beating in my chest. I will never
forget the big smile and happy tears on the face of that 11-year-old younger sister. She just
hugged me and said Aaron, her brothers name, and looked up and smiled.
Have you considered being an organ donor? You could help to give the gift of life to another.
Thank you for considering it.

DEAR EDITOR:
Wednesday morning, we the City of Delphos, lost one of our most dedicated public servants
we had, Tom McCabe.
Sgt. Tom McCabe worked, lived, and died supporting the Delphos Police Department and
the City of Delphos.
Tom was my superior officer when I started in law enforcement and was basically in charge
of breaking me into law enforcement. He did his most to lay the groundwork for me in law
enforcement; just wish I had absorbed his photography skills.
Tom was not only one of my most loyal and dependable officers I ever had served with, but
one who had moral and ethical qualities. He was a friend you knew was forever.
Thanks for being a good cop Tom and loyal employee.
If I may borrow a favorite saying from Tom, This is a bunch of bull----,; we wish you
still were here.
May your soul rest in peace but you be spiritually with us forever.

PUTTING YOUR
WORLD IN
PERSPECTIVE
BY SENATOR ROB
PORTMAN
There are two paint-
ings beside the desk in my
office. One is of George
Washington, the man who
helped establish the Union.
The other is of Abraham
Lincoln, the man who saved
it.
One hun-
dred and
fifty years
ago or
seven score
and 10 years,
as he might
have put
itAbraham
L i n c o l n
stood on a
wi nd- s wept
battlefield at
a tiny rail-
road cross-
ing in south-
ern Pennsylvania. He was
not the featured speaker
that day. That honor fell to
Edward Everett. Everetts
speech would last two
hours; his first sentence was
more than seventy words
long.
Lincoln had come to ded-
icate a cemetery, a burial
ground for the soldiers who
only a few months before
had fought outside of a town
called Gettysburg. The Civil
War was two years old then,
and though it would rage
for another two more, there
was a sense that the tide
had turned, that the war
would end with the Union
preserved, albeit after many
thousands more lives were
sacrificed. And so while
Lincoln was there osten-
sibly to set aside a final
resting place for those who
had died in battle, his true
purpose was even greater
than that.
Part of the genius of the
F o u n d e r s
was that they
were able to
look beyond
their own
times and
their own
s t r u g g l e s
to see that
the colo-
nies, united
together and
dedicated to
the proposi-
tion that all
men are cre-
ated equal, could change
the world. But that Union,
with that goal, was a work in
progress. As Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas
has said, it was not perfect,
but it was perfectible. It was
the striving for that per-
fectionthe perfection of
freedomthat was the great
task Lincoln spoke of.
But Lincoln knew some-
thing else, too. He had set
out to save the Union. In
this, he had failed. At least,
he had failed to save the
Union as it had existed
before. Change was inevi-
table. A new birth of free-
dom was needed. And only
by rededicating ourselves
to that central principle at
the heart of the Declaration
of Independencethat all
people are born freecould
our nation endure.
We still hear Lincolns
call today. The work of
which he spoke is still
unfinished. Liberty is our
goal, freedom our watch-
word. Sometimes we come
up short. Sometimes we
dont live up to our own ide-
als. But though we stumble,
we will not fall.
Lincoln sometimes
got things wrong, too.
The world will never for-
get the sacrifices made at
Gettysburg, but neither will
they forget the words that
Lincoln spoke there. The
Gettysburg Address is a
founding document. It ranks
alongside the Declaration
of Independence and the
Constitution as a corner-
stone of our nation. Today
we honor it, and we honor
Abraham Lincoln.
But we must do more than
remember. One hundred and
fifty years after Lincoln
spoke at Gettysburg, we
must once again rededicate
ourselves towards achiev-
ing what those honored dead
throughout the centuries
have been willing to give
their lives to accomplish
that government of the
people, by the people, for
the people, shall not perish
from the earth.

Many have asked for an

2012. While he
continues to see
several doctors,
I am happy to
report that he has
recently been
able to com-
plete nearly two
weeks of four
10-hour days.
Each time he has
returned to work,
he has been able
to withstand a few
more hours each day. He
began with some days only
able to work 2-3 hours but
the return to work has made
him (and us) feel better and
greatly improved his sense
of self-worth. There are still
some issues to work through
and it will still take another
2-3 years for his brain to
heal, the doctors say, but we
remain thankful for the mir-
acles that were granted. As
we approach Thanksgiving
Day, let us all be thankful not
just on that day but each and
every day for all the bless-
ings in our lives that God has
given us.
Speaking of being
blessed, the Delphos chapter
of the Junior Catholic Sons
of America recently held a
food drive and donated their
collection of canned goods
to the Thrift Shop. The Food
Pantry really needed that
boost, especially as the hol-
idays are approaching and
we want to be able to help
out as many families as we
can. Challenge your family
members to all
bring a canned
good or two to
your get-togeth-
ers and then
donate those to
the Thrift Shops
Food Pantry.
What a way to
make everyone
feel good and
blessed.
In conjunc-
tion with the
Community Unity
Meals On Us program on
Thursdays at the United
Methodist Church, Thrift
Shops Social Services
Director Becky Strayer is
working on putting together
some classes and instruction-
al materials for those who
are attending the dinners.
The goal through these
classes and materials is to
help equip the clients with
information and helpful sug-
gestions to make their lives
better. Some are so broken
and depressed and we want
to be more than a band-aid.
We want to be a hand up and
not just a hand-out. Its the
teach a man to fish philos-
ophy. Topics and materials
should be available shortly
for presentation at the din-
ners.
As weve done for many
years now, it was decided
to again donate several
hundred gift certificates to
the Delphos Community
Christmas Project. We also
will continue to donate
Christmas trees, decorations,
lights and ornaments to the
project as in past years.
Please dont throw away
your old artificial trees, even
if theyre in pieces. Drop
them off and well get them
to the guys at Hohenbrinks
who will re-work and repair
them.
The Thrift Shop will be
closed on Thanksgiving
Day but will have regular
shopping hours on Friday
and Saturday. We will also
be opened for our regular
shopping hours on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday after the
Christmas and New Years
holidays.
Plans are underway and
are being discussed for a
Prom and Bridal Show,
which will hopefully be
held some time in January.
We will post all the details
when the plans are finalized.
Many beautiful dresses have
already been donated but we
will greatly appreciate any
more you care to donate,
along with shoes and jew-
elry. All donations are tax-
deductible; just ask for a
receipt.

The Lake Erie Fish Ohio Report
LAKE ERIE
Regulation to Remember: The daily bag
limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie
is six fish per angler; minimum size limit is
15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow
perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters
of Lake Erie. The trout and salmon daily
bag limit is 2 fish; minimum size limit is 12
inches. The black bass (largemouth and
smallmouth bass) daily bag limit is five fish
per angler with a 14-inch minimum size limit.
Lake-wide
Walleye: Recent weather has limited
fishing opportunities.
Where: Most walleye anglers have been
fishing nearshore from Catawba Island to
Kelleys Island and Cedar Point to Vermillion;
fish have also been caught off traditional fall
pier locations.
How: Troll using deep-diving crankbaits
such as Reef Runners or Deep Husky Jerks,
fished in the middle portion of the water col-
umn or higher. On the piers, anglers are using
traditional techniques.
Yellow perch
Where: For some of the big-
gest perch of the year, try tra-
ditional fall spots, such as the
green buoy off Catawba State
Park; Green and Rattlesnake
islands; Ballast Island; Kelleys Island shoal;
east of Kelleys Island airport; between
Kelleys Island and Lakeside; the Marblehead
Lighthouse; north of Cedar Point; the south
end of the sandbar offshore between Vermilion
and Lorain; and just off most of the ports from
Huron to Conneaut.
How: Perch-spreaders with shiners, fished
near the bottom.
Smallmouth bass
Where: Bass start moving shallow to feed
as water temperatures drop. Try fishing rocky
areas along both island and mainland shore-
lines to find feeding smallmouth bass; areas
with gizzard shad, shiners or gobies will be
best.
How: Tube jigs, drop shots
with goby imitations, and
crankbaits or jerkbaits.
Water Temperature: The
water temperature is 42 degrees
off Toledo and 49 degrees off
Cleveland, according to the
nearshore marine forecast.
Spaces available for Certified Fishing

Instructor Workshop in Findlay
FINDLAY Spaces are available for edu-
cators, leaders, or conservation clubs who
have a sincere interest in taking kids fishing
and want to become certified fishing instruc-
tors, according to the ODNR, Division of
Wildlife. A free workshop is available from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 11 and will take place
at Wildlife District Two Office, 952 Lima
Avenue, Findlay, Ohio 45840.
Passport to Fishing is a 1-day instructor
training program that qualifies individuals to
become Division of Wildlife certified fishing
instructors. All participants will need to pass
a background check before being certified.
Passport to Fishing was developed by the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and adopted
by the Recreational Boating and Fishing
Foundation. Workshops teach volunteers the
basics of fishing and how to run a 4-station
fishing program with a fishing event. These
instructors then go back to their communities,
with a written curriculum and training aids,
to teach youngsters and beginning anglers the
basics of fishing.
By becoming a certified instructor, attend-
ees will not only be able to help in reconnect-
ing students with the outdoors but will also
have the skills and resources to do it in a more
successful way. Resources available include
grants, equipment, brochures and training.

St. Johns took about 16 minutes to
really get untracked in its 42-10 Region
24 semifinal rout against Tiffin Calvert a
week ago.
The eighth-seeded Blue Jays dont
want to see that happen tonight as they
take on sixth-seeded Arlington in the
Regional finals at Lima Stadium.
Head coach Todd Schulte looks at the
offense a one-back, 3-wide, 1-tight
end look first.
They are big and strong up front.
They open a lot of holes for their back,
Austin Rettig, who has over 2,000 yards
rushing, Schulte explained. Just in the
last two weeks, he has 505 yards rushing
and seven scores. They run a lot of power
plays out of their set; they want to run the
ball primarily.
That will test a Blue and Gold defense
ceding 21.6 points and 341.3 yards
(202.8 rushing). Linebackers Cody
Looser (82 solo stops, 49 assists) and
Austin Heiing (61 and 37) lead the effort,
along with Evan Hays (48 and 36; 2 picks),
Jordan Mohler (50 and 17; 2 picks),
Tyler Jettinghoff
(37 and 25),
Luke MacLennan
(44 and 12) and
Jason Wittler (23
and 30).
Defensively,
they rotate a lot
between 4-man-
and 5- man
fronts; they use
the 5-man front
usually against
a tight end. We
have seen a lot
of different fronts
but that is what we
have seen the last two weeks, Schulte
continued.
The Blue Jays offense averaging
25.9 points and 286.6 yards (237.2 rush-
ing) a game is topped by the 3-head-
ed backfield monster of senior tailback
Jettinghoff (228 rushes, 1,384 yards, 27
touchdowns; 7 grabs, 73 yards; 22.9-yard
kickoff return average), senior fullback
MacLennan (96 totes, 829 yards, 7; 15
catches, 251 yards. 2; 25.4-yard punt
return average; 4 pancake blocks) and
junior quarterback Nick Martz (122 tries,
578 yards, 5; 44-of-106 passing, 574
yards, 2 TDs, 10
picks).
Outside, his
top targets are the
junior Hays (8
grabs, 103 yards)
and seniors
Andy May (7
for 105) and
Ben Wrasman (5
for 38; 36-of-42
extra points, 39
total points; 38
punts, 37.2-yard
average). Up front,
senior left tackle
Spencer Ginter has 14 pancake blocks,
along with junior left guard Wes Buettner
(6) and senior center Ryan Shumaker (4).
Controlling the line of scrimmage
this week is the biggest key for both
teams. We both want to run the ball,
which means we have to establish the line
of scrimmage, Schulte explained. Its
all about execution up front. Defensively,
its about stopping their run and forcing
them to drive the football.
Also, special teams and turnovers get
more and more important because if you
can get a short field for your offense, that
helps you a lot. As well, you want to give
a long field to your opponent.
The Jays exploded for the final 42
points in last weeks playoff win.
When we looked at the films, it just
seemed that we werent quite ready to
play. Their 80-yard touchdown simply
came because a linebacker didnt cover
the cut-back lane, Schulte added. We
simply didnt execute very well early
on but neither the coaches nor the play-
ers panicked; we have had to fight from
behind a lot this year, so everyone stayed
calm. We just started to execute better
and I felt we wore them down.
Overall, we have made less and less
mistakes as the season has worn on. We
have gotten better at making the little
adjustments on the run.
Red Devil head coach Dick Leonard
have only had three losses this season.
We lost to playoff teams in the
Blanchard Valley Conference Liberty-
Benton and McComb and outside
to Liberty Center, who just missed in
Division V. We lost by five to McComb
and Liberty Center and by two scores
to Benton, Leonard explained. In the
games we won, we managed to run the
ball very well that is our game
especially when we got off to a quick
start. However, for the first time in our
program, we have a 1,000-yard passer
to go with a 2,000-yard runner, so weve
been more balanced this season than
ever.
Defensively, the development of our
line has been the key. As that group has
come along, that has made our entire
defense better.
The Red Devils (9-3) are led by that
2,104-yard runner, Austin Rettig (235
rushes, 41 touchdowns; 11 catches, 77
yards, 2); that 1,365-yard passer, Andrew
Hunter (84-of-174 passing, 13 TDs, 14
picks; 61 rushes, 380 yards, 6); Xavier
Martinez (65-of-74 extra points, 71 total
points); and receivers Aaron Starr (19
grabs, 324 yards, 5 scores), Josh Elledge
(18 for 334, 2) and Jared Green (13 for
210, 3).
They are led on defense which
gives up a mere 113.0 yards per game
rushing and
73.4 yards pass-
ing by Josh
Elledge (49
solos and 39
assists, 22 for
loss; 3 intercep-
tions), Bryce
Hartman (27
and 53, 21 for
loss), Chase
Glick (22 and
36, 15 for loss),
Koltin Marquart
(19 and 34), Matt
Glick (16 and
34), Hunter (6 picks) and Aaron Starr (24
punts, 36.6-yard average).
We have a lot of respect for the St.
Johns coaches and program. A Todd
Schulte team is always well-prepared,
well-coached and well-disciplined; so are
its coaches, Leonard added. Its a solid
team all over the place; we dont see
many weaknesses. They have really good
linebackers and a really good backfield
to start with. They want to run the ball as
much as we do.
Games like this with two basi-
cally evenly-matched teams come
down to which team can make the fewest
mistakes, whether turnovers, penalties,
missed assignments, whatever.
All three phases become so much
important, especially special teams. A
dropped punt snap can be a game-chang-
er, like what happened in their game
against Leipsic.
Kickoff tonight is 7 p.m.

Indians open with W
over Lady Jeffcats

DELPHOS There were a number of reasons for
Jeffersons 64-42 opening-night girls basketball loss to non-
league foe Fort Recovery Friday night at Jefferson High
School and they applied at various times.
The one constant was poor shooting for the night 13-of-
60 (2-of-13 downtown) for 21.7 percent.
We had nine games last year where we shot under 29 per-
cent from the field. We had some shots from the outside that
didnt fall; we just have to finish inside, Jefferson mentor
Dave Hoffman explained. We play way too scared the first
half and had too many turnovers; then we didnt get back quick
enough to stop their transition and gave up way too many easy
baskets.
The Wildcats were minus a pair of 3-year letterwinners in
Hannah Sensabaugh and Makayla Binkley due to off-season
knee surgeries.
Fort Recovery head coach Doug Bihn was pleased with his
teams effort overall.
We try to use our athleticism and feel were deeper than
most of the teams we play, he added. We played with a lot
of energy tonight; that is the key for us every night. We want
a high tempo.
Jefferson turnovers were a part of the problem in the first
period against the Lady Tribes 1-3-1 3/4-court and half-court
defense: the Lady Wildcats committed six of their 17 for the
game in the span. If it hadnt been for a 17-10 supremacy on
the glass in the quarter (7-3 offensive), theyd have trailed
much worse than the 13-11 they did. Both teams were look-
ing to push the pace and extend their defense but the Indians
only had two miscues (25 for the night) in the first period. Tori
Lennartz netted five of her team-high 21 markers (9 boards,
3 assists) for the Purple and White but Red and White senior
Rileigh Stockwell scored six of her game-high 22 (to go with
10 boards). It was fellow senior Gabby Pimpas who hit the
1st-of-2 singles with 17.4 ticks to go to reduce the visitors
lead to 13-11.
Lennartz scored five in the second period but got a bit more
help than her Wildcat counterpart: Stockwell notched five of
her own, including the only two fielders the hosts made (out
of 10 shots). They still turned it over seven times (5 for the
visitors) but the Indians seized command of the glass 16-8
(9-2 offensive; winning the battle for the contest 58-39, 19-17
offensive). When Recoverys Sierra Pugh (4 assists) notched a
3-point play with 27.2 ticks on the board, the guests led 30-18.
Delphos took supreme care of the ball the third period, not
turning it over once. However, they could only can 5-of-20
efforts from the field. Early on, senior Katie Goergens hit a
pair of 3-pointers (8 markers, 5 rebounds, 4 steals) around
two singles by junior Brooke Culp (7 markers, 3 steals) to get
within 30-26 at the 6-minute mark. However, Lennartz scored
nine straight points (11 in the canto) and the Indians ran off a
24-8 spurt the remainder of the period. When Julie Wendel (8
counters, 6 caroms) hit a long two from the left corner with 6.0
seconds showing, the guests led 54-34.
Jefferson forced seven straight turnovers to open the finale
(14 in the period) but could only counter with a Stockwell
basket at the 7-minute mark to make it 54-36. They could not
make it any closer from then on.
The Tribe finished 27-of-63 from the field, 4-6 of 6
triples, for 42.9 percent and 6-of-15 at the line (40%). Caley
Schoenherr added 14 markers. Kendra Siefring and Cassidy
Rammel led the guests with 11 caroms each. They concluded
with 20 fouls and will host St. Marys Memorial tonight.

B-W stings Lady Jackets
for first loss of 2013-14 sea-
son
BEREA It was a rough
night for the Defiance
College womens basketball
team as the Yellow Jackets
of Baldwin-Wallace took
care of business at home by
a score of 87-55. DC drops
to 1-1 on the year, while
B-W ups its record to 3-1.
In the defeat, freshman
Kelsey Tietje chalked up
another fantastic perfor-
mance. The center scored
25 points (9-of-15), while
raking in 10 rebounds and
a steal. That marks two
straight 20-10 double-dou-
bles to open up her colle-
giate career.
Action didnt start off
well for the Purple and Gold,
as B-W jumped ahead quick-
ly by a score of 6-15 in just
over four minutes. However,
a 6-0 run by Defiance cut
into the deficit and brought
it within three at 12-15.
Unfortunately, DC never
again got that close to the
host Yellow Jackets. A well-
balanced offensive attack
by the home team began to
pull away in the contest, as
it with a 7-0 spurt of its
own. B-W then took a 37-21
advantage into the locker
room at the break.
In the second half,
Bal dwi n- Wal l ace
extended its lead
to 21 points within
three minutes of
intermission. But
the Purple and Gold
put together one last
push on the shoul-
ders of Tietje.
During the 14-3 run by
the Yellow Jackets, Tietje,
the Patrick Henry High
product recorded nine of the
points on four field goals
and a make from the char-
ity stripe. A hit from behind
the arc from senior Maggie
Neanen trimmed B-Ws lead
to 45-35.
However, with every
attempt Defiance made to
get back into the game,
Baldwin-Wallace always had
an answer. B-W racked off
nine-straight points to bring
the home lead back up to
54-35 with just over 10 min-
utes to play.
The host Yellow Jackets
cruised through the rest
of the contest in the open-
ing round of the Baldwin-
Wallace tournament.
In two games for Tietje,
the sensational freshman has
now posted averages of 24.5
points (62.1 percent) and
10.5 rebounds to go along
with one steal and a block.
Other contributors
on the night were Ashley
Birchmeier (Vaughnsville/
Columbus Grove),
who totaled eight
points and four
boards and Neanen,
who scored six
points on a pair of
three pointers.
B-Ws offen-
sive attack was just
too much for the Purple and
Gold, as the home squad
had eight different players
account for five or more
points.
After shooting above 50
percent from both the field
and behind the arc against
Alma, DC struggled tonight
by shooting 20-of-54 (37
percent) inside the 3-point
line and 2-of-11 (18.2 per-
cent) from long range.
Defiance did hold the
advantage on the glass as it
outrebounded the Baldwin-
Wallace 36-31. But turn-
overs plagued the Purple and
Gold as they committed 24
to B-Ws 13.
DC will now play in the
consolation contest today
against the loser of the Ohio
Wesleyan and Calvin match-
up. The game is slated to
begin at 2 p.m.

Ole Miss needs a
signature win to tell
people I am here.
This is it, especially
at home.
OKLAHOMA
STATE: Maybe this
is a heart pick (a
Buckeye fan) but
Cowboys are more than capable at
home.
UCLA: Pasadena is rocking again
and it aint the Rose Bowl! Bruins take
another step to their full-blown come-
back.
WISCONSIN: Midwest weather is
hitting us hard. The 3-headed tailback
monster in Madison is too much for
Gophers. How much is the debacle
in the desert costing Badgers AND
Buckeyes in BCS?
TEXAS A&M: LSU defense is talent-
ed but not quite there. Not good against
a very motivated Johnny Football.
Should be a shoot-out.
NOTRE DAME: Simply because
this is in South Bend, I give the edge to
Fighting Irish.
PRO:
GREEN BAY: Has Packers defense
had to be better without Mr. Rodgers in
the neighborhood? Yes. They are.
CLEVELAND: Steelers have owned
this rivalry lately but Browns had have
some recent success. Methinks the
Browns get a close win on the lake.
DENVER: Patriots should be livid
after that ridiculous non-call in the
Monday-Nighter. However, the Pats
defense is too beat-up against high-
powered Broncs.
NY GIANTS: G-Men making a late
run to the playoffs. Jerry Jones is giving
his boy Jason Garrett a vote of
confidence. Speaks volumes.
ARIZONA: A dome team like Colts
heading to the desert. Good luck, Luck!
CHICAGO: Which Rams team will
show up? I think a better-than-expected
Bears team will.

ARIZONA STATE Sun Devils pull
off the upset over the Bruins.
WISCONSIN The Badgers are
simply the better overall team. Paul

LSU Johnny Footballs visit to

GREEN BAY Two teams going

CLEVELAND Do I pick this game
with my heart or my brain? Do I side
with the Mrs. and her beloved Steelers,
or go with a team that stunk against the

Offense, I would pick the Steelers hands
down; however, defense vs. defense is
where the Browns will win the game and
I hope Big Ben survives.

really played anyone other than a
sub-par Oklahoma team. Oklahoma
State is far and away the best team
Baylor will have played this season
and I think it will be an eye-opening
experience for the Bears. Im taking
the Cowboys, big.
Arizona State: I think the Sun
Devils are sneaky good this year and
only getting better. UCLA is a solid
team with a good quarterback but I
think Arizona State will use this as its
coming-out party.
Wisconsin: The Gophers have put
a very solid string of games together
but it will come to an end Saturday
with a loss to the Badgers, who are
a lot better than people give them
credit for.
Texas A&M: Only because Johnny
Manziel is underrated as a quarter-
back, seriously.
Brigham Young: Two of my least
favorite teams in the entire NCAA
going at it. But Ive said it before, I will
never pick Notre Dame because of my
intense hatred for the Irish. BYU!
Pros:
Minnesota: We all saw how ter-
rible the Packers are without Aaron
Rodgers against the Giants last week.
The Vikings dont have a quarterback
either but they have Adrian Peterson,
so Ill side with them.
Cleveland: If my Browns are going
to get the Steelers, this will be the
year. The Steelers are probably going
to win this game but I just dont feel
right picking them.
Denver: The Patriots are too busy
crying about the no-call Monday, that
they probably havent even realized
they have Peyton Manning coming to
town Sunday.
Giants: Purely coin toss for me
but picking against Tony Romo just
feels right.
Colts: Somehow they find ways
to grip wins from the jaws of defeat.
Probably will be much of the same
against the underrated Cardinals.
St. Louis: The Bears are seem-
ingly falling apart and with Cutler out,
I like the Rams.
PIGSKIN PICKS
I KNEW I should have taken USC last week didnt I write that? Yes, I did!
Plus, the officials missed all kinds of illegal procedures on Michigans tying field goal versus Northwestern, thus cheating me out of another successful pick!
My MY? Patriots got hosed by the official choke or is it officials choke? Monday; again, do they KNOW???
LOL!!!
Anywho, four of us had pretty good weeks should have been better (grumble, grumble, grumble)!
Regular Bob Weber had the best at 9-3 (4-2 college, 5-1 pros) to extend his strong mark to 83-49 46-20 and 37-29).
I, regular Bob Boninsegna and guest picker Charlie Warnimont each went 8-4: I and Charlie went 4-2 and 4-2 and Dave 5-1, 3-3.
That improves me to 75-57 (39-27, 36-30) and Dave to 72-59 (39-26, 33-33).
With second GP Brian Bassett going 3-9 (3-3, 0-6), the GPs are now a combined 131-107 (68-51, 63-56)
Brian returns this week and Herald Correspondent Erin Cox is pinch-hitting for Charlie this week (family emergency).
Due to technical reasons, Daves picks wont be in this week.
Here are the Games:
College: Missouri at Ole Miss; Baylor at Oklahoma State; Arizona State at UCLA; Wisconsin at Minnesota; Texas A&M at LSU; Brigham Young at Notre Dame.
NFL: Minnesota at Green Bay; Pittsburgh at Cleveland; Denver at New England; Dallas at NY Giants; Indianapolis at Arizona; Chicago at St. Louis.

Jefferson finished 2-of-13
downtown and also struggled
at the line, hitting 14-of-
29 (48.3%). Junior Shelby
Koenig added six boards and
a pair of blocks. They fin-
ished with 12 fouls and host
Antwerp tonight.
We did a lot of things
better the second half: we
took care of the ball, for an
example. We just struggled
to shoot the ball, Hoffman
added. We got to the line
quite a bit, the same thing we
did last year when we shot
far more free throws than our
opponents. We just have to
make more. We also got out-
rebounded; we gave up way
too many second and third
shots. We have to come back
out (tonight) and be better,
especially in our guard play.
In junior varsity action,
Fort Recovery won 20-14.
Kirsten Jutte led the vic-
tors with nine points. For
the hosts, sophomore Taylor

Wildlifes toll-free 800-WILDLIFE (945-
3543) general hunting information hotline
will offer extended hours during the youth

hours include:
8 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday for
youth deer-gun season.
8 a.m.-7 p.m., Nov. 30 to Dec. 8 for deer-

Ohioans are encouraged to help enforce
state wildlife laws by reporting violations
to the divisions Turn-In-a-Poacher (TIP)
hotline by calling 800-POACHER (762-
2437). Established in 1982, the TIP pro-
gram allows individuals to anonymously call
toll-free to report wildlife violations. The
800-POACHER hotline is open for calls 365
days a year, 24 hours a day.
Tips concerning wildlife violations can
also be submitted at wildohio.com. Tipsters
may be eligible to receive a cash award.
Ohio hunters can purchase and use

antlerless deer permits through Dec. 1
COLUMBUS Ohio white-tailed deer
hunters can still purchase and use antlerless
deer permits through Dec. 1, according to
the ODNR.
Hunters can tag and check antlerless deer
with an antlerless permit through Dec. 1.
After that, hunters must possess or purchase
an either-sex deer permit to pursue bucks and
does until Feb. 2, 2014. Either-sex permits
can be purchased online at ohiogamecheck.
com or at a license vendor.
Deer bag limits are now determined
by county. The statewide bag limit is nine

method or season. Only one antlerless deer
may be checked per county using an antler-
less permit. Ohioans are again reminded
that antlerless permits will not be valid after

Ohios hunters get more prime hunt-
ing time when deer-gun hunting season
opens Dec. 2
COLUMBUS Deer-gun season, one
of Ohios most revered hunting traditions,
begins Dec. 2 with 30 more minutes of prime
hunting time each day. Ohios deer-gun sea-
son is open through Dec. 8.
Hunting time is extended 30 minutes for
all deer-gun seasons. Hunters were already
allowed to hunt deer 30 minutes before sun-
rise and this year an additional 30 minutes
has been added after sunset for gun seasons.
We are eager to increase opportunities
for Ohios sportsmen and women, said
ODNR Director James Zehringer. Ohio is a
top 10 whitetail hunting destination and the
extra half-hour after sunset will give hunters
more opportunities to bag a deer.
Deer hunting in Ohio continues to be a
popular activity for many who enjoy the out-
doors. The ODNR Division of Wildlife antic-
ipates 80,000-90,000 deer will be harvested
during the weeklong hunt. Approximately
420,000 hunters are expected to participate
in this years season, including many out-of-
state hunters. Hunters checked 86,964 deer in
the 2012 weeklong deer-gun season.
Deer can be hunted with a plugged shot-
gun capable of holding no more than three
slugs, a muzzleloader .38 caliber or larger,
a handgun .357 caliber or larger and bows
during deer-gun week.
Hunters are reminded to use safety
precautions while hunting, including wear-
ing required hunter orange clothing, using a
safety harness while in a tree stand and safe
handling of firearms, said Scott Zody, chief
of the ODNR, Division of Wildlife.
A valid deer permit is required in addi-
tion to a valid Ohio hunting license. Hunters
must purchase an additional deer permit to
hunt more than one deer.
A new tagging procedure administered
by the ODNR Division of Wildlife requires
hunters to make their own game tag to attach
to a deer. Game tags can be made of any
material (cardboard, plastic, paper, etc.) as
long as it contains the hunters name, date,
time and county of kill. Go to the Deer
Hunting Resources page at wildohio.com for
more information on changes to the game
check process.
More deer hunting information can be
found in the 2013-14 Ohio Hunting and
Trapping Regulations and at wildohio.com.
Hunters can share photos by clicking on
the Photo Gallery tab online.
Hunters are encouraged to harvest more
antlerless deer in some areas of Ohio this
season to help the needy in their area and
also manage deer populations. The DOW
is working with Farmers and Hunters
Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) to help pay
for the processing of donated venison.
Hunters who donate a deer to a food bank
are not required to pay the processing cost
as long as funding for the effort is avail-
able. More information about this program
can be found online at fhfh.org. Hunters
can also donate venison through Safari
Club Internationals Sportsmen Against
Hunger program by learning more at safa-
riclubfoundation.org. Whitetails Unlimited
chapters also use local funds for programs
such as venison donation. Go to whitetail-
sunlimited.com to find a local chapter and
make a donation.
Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident
hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associ-
ated with hunting-related industries. Hunting
has a more than $853 million economic
impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment,
fuel, food, lodging and more, according to
the National Shooting Sports Foundations
Hunting in America: An Economic Force for
Conservation publication.

Wildcats
Roethlisberger looks to pad mark against Browns
By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND Growing up in
Ohio, Ben Roethlisberger knew all about
the Steelers-Browns rivalry, once the NFLs
nastiest intra-division spat.
It used to be a somewhat fair fight. But he
has tilted the series almost single-handedly.
Pittsburghs quarterback carries a 15-1
career record against the Browns into
Sundays matchup between teams hanging
on the fringe of the AFC playoff race.
Browns linebacker DQwell Jackson
knows that despite Pittsburghs record and
any rumors swirling around Roethlisberger
and his future, that as long as the imposing
No. 7 is under center, the Steelers (4-6) are to
be taken seriously.
Hes had a great career over there,
Jackson said. We know were going to have
our hands full.
Following a 0-4 start, the Steelers (4-6)
have turned their season around and can
move themselves closer to playoff conten-
tion by beating the Browns (4-6), who are
still smarting from a disappointing loss last
week in Cincinnati. Cleveland scored the
games first 13 points before unraveling
in the second quarter, when the Bengals
blocked two punts, scored on
a fumble recovery, scored 31
straight points and coasted.
Roethlisberger passed for
367 yards and four touchdowns
last week in a win over Detroit.
The strong performance helped
subdue talk fueled by a recent
report the 31-year-old will seek a trade in
the offseason. Roethlisberger dismissed the
notion, saying he wanted to be a Steeler
for life.
Thats not comforting to the Browns or
their fans, who have only celebrated five
victories over Pittsburgh in 30 games since
1999.
To stop the Steelers, the Browns must
slow Roethlisberger and thats never easy.
Ray Horton, Clevelands defensive coor-
dinator, spent seven seasons on Pittsburghs
staff and knows firsthand how tough the 6-5,
240-pound Roethlisberger is to handle.
I dont think theres been a quarterback
in the league that has taken unabated shots
and shrugged guys off, made more big
plays, than Ben in the history of the
league, Horton explained. I told
our players, he was a shortstop in
baseball; youd think he would be
a pitcher. He was a point guard in
basketball; youd think he would be
the center. And he punts left-footed.
So this guy is the most athletic guy
that well face, meaning total package of
completeness.
Horton marvels at Roethlisbergers abil-
ity to turn a broken play into a big gain to
his receivers.
Hes a unique guy, he added. Theyre
a unique bunch in that their wide receiv-
ers thrive on getting open after contact and
going up the field and creating plays that
are really school-yard basketball plays: Go
behind the Subaru and take a left and Ill hit
you. They make a ton of big plays that way.
Buckeyes take on Hoosiers
and history on Saturday
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Hoosiers and history are on the checklist
for No. 4 Ohio State this Saturday.
The Buckeyes carry a 22-game winning
streak into their one-sided series against
Indiana the longest active major-college
streak.
On top of that, however, if the Buckeyes
win theyll eclipse the school record set by
the 1967-69 Ohio State teams.
That accomplishment comes only if
they take care of business, however.
Right now, were just focusing on beating Indiana, center
Corey Linsley said. Because Indiana doesnt really care about
our winning streak.
Even coach Urban Meyer, who runs screaming from just
about anything other than the Xs and Os of the next game,
says it would be an impressive accomplishment.
Any time a player plays at a place like Ohio State and you
can make a name for yourself or a dent in this great tradition,
that is certainly worth being recognized, Meyer added.
The Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0) can also clinch a division title and
a spot in the Big Ten championship game.
Here are five things to watch for in the game:
GET YOUR POINTS HERE: Ohio State won last years
matchup, 52-49. This year, the two offenses may be even bet-
ter theyre combining for more than 1,000 yards per game.
Plus, the defenses may be worse.
Defensively, its a couple teams that have given up some
points, Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said.
Dont be shocked if 40 points are scored by the end of
the first quarter.
FAILING HISTORY: The Buckeyes have made it an almost
annual occurrence to beat the Hoosiers. Not only are they a
32-point favorite this time around but theyve won the last 17
meetings with Indiana.
Amazingly, thats still not their longest streak in the series.
The Buckeyes did not lose to the Hoosiers from 1952 to 1986,
going 31-0-1 and winning the last 23 in that span.
MOVING ON UP: Ohio State is third in the BCS rankings
and needs to impress voters and the computers over its final
two games plus a potential date with Michigan State in the Big
Ten title game.
Meyer is angry with himself that hes been distracted by
all of the BCS talk and that in turn his players have been dis-
tracted by it.
When I started getting asked questions about the BCS, (I
should have just said), Move on, Meyer said. Because (the
players) watch me and Im saying, Dont pay attention to it
and Im paying attention to it. Then its a mixed message. But
the best thing they can do is just play.
CLOSING STRONG: The Hoosiers (4-6, 2-4) need to win
their final two games they finish up at home against archri-
val Purdue on Nov. 30 to be bowl-eligible.
If they were to accomplish that, it would be Indianas first
bowl trip since the 2007 Insight Bowl and only the second
since 1993. But itll take a huge upset, first.
With two weeks to go, (we still have a) chance for a
bowl opportunity, Wilson said. Our goal is always constant
improvement. I just met with our leaders, our seniors. I need
their best two weeks. We need to get better on offense from a
week ago. Weve got a great challenge this week and we have
to bring every phase of our defense along.
SENIOR LIVING: Ohio State bids a fond adieu to 18
seniors, along with redshirt junior CB Bradley Roby who has
already announced hes giving up his final season of eligibility
to jump into the NFL draft.
Bengals team of extremes in control of AFC North
By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI No dull moments with this Bengals team.
Theres always something big going on.
Big lulls followed by big comebacks. A Hail Mary
pass that ties the game followed by a loss in overtime.
Andy Dalton setting club records for touchdowns one
month, throwing interception after interception the
next month.
And maybe thats the personality of a team that
seems to play its best after putting itself behind. As
coach Marvin Lewis put it, I guess we will continue to major
in thrilling at this point.
The real thrills or yet another huge disappointment
are still to come.
The Bengals (7-4) have taken control of the AFC North
with the toughest stretch of their schedule behind them.
Theyve got a 2-game lead in the loss column over Baltimore,
Pittsburgh and Cleveland, all 4-6 heading into the weekend.
They have a late-season bye that should get them closer
to full strength for the final push. Only one of their final five
games involves an opponent that currently has a winning
record Indianapolis and theyll get to face the Colts at
home.
Three of the last five will be at Paul Brown Stadium, where
the Bengals are 5-0 this season.
All they need is a few more wins and theyll not
only be headed to the postseason for the third year
in a row something the Bengals have never done
but theyll be in the running for home-field advan-
tage deep into the playoffs.
They were in very good shape heading into the
bye-week break.
Were first in the division and weve got more than a
2-game lead and the truth is youve done something obvi-
ously pretty good to be to this point, offensive tackle Andrew
Whitworth said. So I dont think theres any point to putting
ourselves down.
Lets find out where we can be even better and finish this
thing the way we need to and well be right where we want
to be.
The Bengals two defining traits so far have been inconsis-
tency and resiliency.

By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2013
Home and living conditions should
be your focus this year. Add to
your comfort and share your space
with people who contribute to your
happiness. Open-mindedness will
lead to knowledge and skills that will
encourage you to strive to acquire a
better position.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Money matters may limit what you
can and cannot do. You are best to
take care of your debts before you
take on more responsibility. Dont let
emotions influence negotiations.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Send out your resume or set up
a plan that will help you earn more
money. An investment must not
be allowed to limit your cash flow.
Protect your interests and your
possessions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Keep a close watch over what
transpires around you. Someone will
try to limit your chance to follow your
dream. Let your heart lead the way
and impulses take over.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Get together with old friends or
colleagues. The discussions that
unfold will help you make choices
that will improve your financial and
personal situation. Romance is
favored.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Restlessness will take over if you
arent busy. Get out of the house and
do whatever makes you feel good
or adds to your skills or confidence.
Mingle and have fun.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Participate, take action and do things
that enhance your relationships with
key people in your life. Refuse to let
an emotional situation ruin your day.
Live, love and laugh.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A
change in the way you do things or
the people you hang out with will
give you an idea of what can be
accomplished. Home improvements
will be a good place to start.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
With a little extra effort and physical
force, you will receive recognition
and good fortune. There are profits
to be made, and unique contributions
will boost your reputation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Walk
away from trouble. You will benefit
far more from doing what works
for you and letting others fend for
themselves. An opportunity will
develop through a secret connection.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Attend an event that is geared toward
a personal interest. Discuss plans
that include travel or positive lifestyle
changes. Unique offers will capture
your attention.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Nurture and improve personal
relationships. Offer help or
compromise in a situation that
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2013
Make personal changes that
will bring you greater comfort,
confidence and peace of mind. Not
everyone will be happy with the
choices you make, but if you dont
follow your heart, you will be living
a lie. Speak up and prepare to do
whats best for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Avoid conflicts. Put more effort
into family matters and taking care
of responsibilities. A change of heart
will be based on secret information.
Dont share personal opinions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- There is plenty to accomplish. Set
your goals high and be persistent
in your pursuits. Dont let anyone
guilt you into lending or making a
donation. Charity begins at home.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Play by the rules and stick to a
budget or plan if you dont want to
be subjected to discord or end up
in a compromising position. Listen
carefully and do whats necessary.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- False information will surface
and must be sorted out quickly
before someone gets the wrong
impression. Offer what you can, but
make sure you take care of your
personal situation first.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Double-check what you are getting
for your money before making an
impulsive purchase or financial
decision. Minor ailments will be due
to stress and poor choices.

Answer to Puzzle
by Gary Clothier
Q: I hope you can solve a
60-year-old mystery for me.
In the late 1940s, the war was
over and I was in elementary
school. There was a young,
attractive Englishwoman
who lived next to us. She was
a member of some English
espionage group, and she
talked freely of her spy activi-
ties behind enemy lines. She
said she was a piano player.
As a kid I didnt think much
about this, but as I got older, I
could not figure out what she
actually did. Did the English
have some type of USO that
entertained troops? -- E.T.N.,
Bristol, Tenn.
A: Its possible that she
was a member of the Special
Operations Executive (SOE).
The SOE was formed in 1940
by Winston Churchill to con-
duct acts of espionage, sabo-
tage and reconnaissance in
Europe. It was Churchills
plan that because of this
underground activity, German
troops would be pulled out
of combat to guard railroad
lines, bridges and tunnels. As
the war progressed, the scope
of the SOE expanded. As for
your friend the piano player,
pianist was a nickname for
an SOE radio operator.
DID YOU KNOW? As a
young man, Pierce Bronsan
was a fire-eater in a circus
act.
Q: True or false: Actor
Woody Harrelsons father
was a convicted contract kill-
er? -- L.K.,
Medford,
Mass.
A :
Its true.
In 1973,
C h a r l e s
V o y d e
Harrelson
was given
a 15-year
prison sentence for the 1968
contract killing of Texas busi-
nessman Sam Degalia Jr. In
1978, he was released after
serving only five years of
that sentence. One year later,
Harrelson was arrested for
assassinating U.S. District
Judge John H. Wood Jr. in San
Antonio. Harrelson suppos-
edly received $250,000 for
the murder; he also received
two life sentences.
In 2003, one of the
two brothers implicated in
the conspiracy stated that
Charles Harrelson was not
involved in the murder. He
claimed that Harrelson was
framed because he was try-
ing to blackmail the broth-
ers. Harrelson died of natural
causes in his maximum-secu-
rity cell on March 15, 2007.
He was 69.
Q: I have incredibly fond
memories of New Years Day
with my whole family, gath-
ering at my grandparents to
enjoy conversation, food and
drink and, of course, foot-
ball. One year, my grandfa-
ther told me that the game
we were watching was being
played at Kidd Field, which
was my last name. He said
it was named after me. I
didnt believe him until the
announcer mentioned the
name. You cant imagine the
excitement I experienced.
Im now a grandmother,
and to this day the story still
brings a smile to my face and
tears to my eyes. What was
the name of the bowl game
played at my namesake sta-
dium? -- M.F., Roanoke, Va.
A: It was the Sun Bowl,
which was played in El
Paso, Texas. The first three
games were played at the El
Paso High School Stadium.
In 1938, the game moved
to Kidd Field, where it was
played until 1963, when it
was moved to Sun Bowl
Stadium. Today, Kidd Field
is an athletic facility used
primarily by University of
Texas at El Paso for track and
field meets.
Q: I recall reading that
once a diamond is formed
deep in the Earth, it takes
about 1 billion years for that
diamond to work its way to
the surface. Im wondering,
do scientists know the age
of the oldest diamond ever
found? -- C.L., West Palm
Beach, Fla.
A: Most natural diamonds
are formed under high-pres-
sure and high-temperature
conditions existing at depths
of about 100 miles in the
Earths mantle. In 2007,
National Geographic News
reported that minuscule
gemstones were found that
are 4.25 billion years old,
roughly the age of Earth.
The article, Worlds Oldest
Diamonds Discovered in
Australia, goes on to say the
tiny diamonds were found
trapped in zircon, a rare yet
stable material.
I came across a short
blurb in BBC Knowledge
Magazines April issue that
reports that diamonds have
been found embedded in a
meteorite that is at least 5
billion years old. Thats older
than our solar system!
Q: A few weeks ago you
answered a question about
Bob Keeshan (Captain
Kangaroo). This reminded
me of an email I received
about actor Lee Marvin and a
conversation on The Tonight
Show. During his visit, he
told Johnny Carson about
an experience he had during
World War II when he was
wounded during the inva-
sion of Iwo Jima. He went
on to extol Keeshans heroic
a c t i o n s
d u r i n g
the battle.
Ive often
wondered
if this is a
true story.
The email
is a tran-
script, and
it sounds
b e l i e v -
able. --
J.L.C., Manhattan, Kan.
A: Lee Marvin was, in
fact, wounded in World War
II, but it was during the inva-
sion of the island of Saipan.
He was wounded in July
1944, and he spent the next
13 months in Navy hospitals
before being discharged. The
Battle of Iwo Jima occurred
while Marvin was still hos-
pitalized.
Keeshan was more than
three years younger than
Marvin. By the time he was
18 the war was nearly over.
Most biographers tend to
agree that he saw little -- if
any -- action during the war.
I, too, have seen the tran-
script of the interview
between Marvin and Carson.
I dont think the interview
ever happened. I cant believe
Lee Marvin would fabricate
such a story on national tele-
vision. If any reader did see
the interview, please let me
know.

Detained Americans wife asks for his return
PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) The
wife of an 85-year-old veteran detained
in North Korea implored authorities
on Friday to let her husband return to
his anxious family and end what she
called a dreadful misunderstanding.
We have had no word on the
state of his health, whether or not
the medications sent to him through
the Swedish Embassy in North Korea
have been delivered or why he was
detained, Lee Newman said in a pre-
pared statement released in California.
Meanwhile, North Korean offi-
cials told the Swedish Embassy in
Pyongyang that they were holding
an American but did not confirm it
was Merrill Newman, who was pulled
from a plane Oct. 26 while preparing
to leave the communist nation after a
10-day tour.
The Swedish Embassy is nego-
tiating on a daily basis on behalf of
Newman because the U.S. has no
diplomatic ties to North Korea, State
Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki
told reporters in Washington.
Until his planned departure,
Newmans trip had seemed posi-
tive, with postcards describing good
times and knowledgeable guides, Lee
Newman said in her statement.
The family feels there has been
some dreadful misunderstanding lead-
ing to his detention and asks that
the (Democratic Peoples Republic of
Korea) work to settle this issue quickly
and to return this 85-year-old grandfa-
ther to his anxious, concerned family,
she said.
David Thompson at Juche Travel
Services London office said in an
email that Newman and his compan-
ion had booked a private tour through
the agency, and arrangements were
handled in North Korea through the
Korea International Travel Co., the
state-run tourism office.
Mr. Newman had in place all nec-
essary and valid travel documents to
take his tour, Thompson said.
Newman has been described as
an inveterate traveler and long-retired
finance executive. His son, Jeffrey
Newman, said his father wanted to
return to the country where he spent
three years during the Korean War.
Its unknown why he is being
detained, but his fathers travel-
ing companion, Bob Hamrdla, said
Newman earlier had a difficult dis-
cussion with North Korean officials
about his experiences during the war,
according to Jeffrey Newman.
Hamrdla, who lives in the same
11-story Palo Alto retirement apart-
ment building as the Newmans, has
led more than 40 travel programs
to Central Europe for Stanford
University.
By agreement with the Newmans,
Hamrdla declined an interview.
North Korea has detained at least
six Americans since 2009, including
two journalists accused of trespassing
and several missionaries accused of
spreading Christianity.
Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American
missionary and tour operator, has been
detained for more than a year.
Newman doesnt fit the pattern of
the other detained Americans.
It is hard to fathom how an
85-year-old senior citizen could
pose any threat to the regime, says
Victor Cha, who holds the Korea
Chair at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies in Washington,
which researches international public
policy issues.
The incident requires the U.S.
government to make a forceful and
high-level statement deploring such
acts and promising consequences if
Bae and Newman are not returned,
Cha said.
Kerry, Russian FM
join Iran nuclear talks
GENEVA (AP) Secretary of State John Kerry and for-
eign ministers of other major powers lent their weight to the
Iran nuclear talks after envoys reported progress Friday in
marathon negotiations to curb the Iranian program in return for
limited sanctions relief.
After a third day of talks, State Department spokesperson
Jen Psaki said Kerry was en route to Geneva to help narrow
the differences. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
arrived in Geneva late Friday.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague announced he
would also travel to Geneva. A French diplomat, speaking
on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to
release the information, said French Foreign Minister Laurent
Fabius would join the others here.
The announcements followed a day in which diplomats
appeared more and more optimistic that a deal could be struck.
As talks adjourned, a diplomat said Iranian Foreign Minister
and top European Union diplomat Catherine Ashton had made
progress on a key sticking point Irans claim to a right to
produce nuclear fuel through uranium enrichment
Irans official IRNA news agency quoted Iranian Deputy
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Geneva as saying that
Irans right to uranium enrichment must be part of any deal.
Enrichment is a hot-button issue because it can be used both
to make reactor fuel and to arm nuclear missiles. Iran argues
it is enriching only for power, and scientific and medical pur-
poses. And it says it has no interest in nuclear arms.
But Washington and its allies point to Tehrans earlier
efforts to hide enrichment and allege it worked on developing
such weapons.
Wind energy company
pleads guilty to eagle deaths
WASHINGTON (AP) The govern-
ment for the first time has enforced environ-
mental laws protecting birds against wind
energy facilities, winning a $1 million set-
tlement Friday from a power company that
pleaded guilty to killing 14 eagles and 149
other birds at two Wyoming wind farms.
The Obama administration has champi-
oned pollution-free wind power and used
the same law against oil companies and
power companies for drowning and electro-
cuting birds. The case against Duke Energy
Corp. and its renewable energy arm was the
first prosecuted under the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act against a wind energy company.
In this plea agreement, Duke Energy
Renewables acknowledges that it constructed
these wind projects in a manner it knew
beforehand would likely result in avian
deaths, Robert G. Dreher, acting assistant
attorney general for the Justice Departments
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, said in a statement Friday.
An investigation by The Associated Press
in May revealed dozens of eagle deaths from
wind energy facilities, including at Dukes
Top of the World farm outside Casper, Wyo.,
the deadliest for eagles of 15 such facilities
that Duke operates nationwide. The other
wind farm included in the settlement is also
in Converse County and is called Campbell
Hill. All the deaths, which included golden
eagles, hawks, blackbirds, wrens and spar-
rows, occurred from 2009 to 2013.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based Duke has a
market capitalization of nearly $50 billion.
We deeply regret the impacts of golden
eagles at two of our wind facilities, said Greg
Wolf, president of Duke Energy Renewables Inc.
in a statement. Our goal is to provide the ben-
efits of wind energy in the most environmentally
responsible way possible.
A study in September by federal biolo-
gists found that wind turbines had killed at
least 67 bald and golden eagles since 2008.
Wyoming had the most eagle deaths. That
did not include deaths at Altamont Pass,
an area in northern California where wind
farms kill an estimated 60 eagles a year.
Until Fridays announcement, not a single
wind energy company had been prosecuted for a
death of an eagle or other protected bird even
though each death is a violation of federal law,
unless a company has a federal permit. Not a
single wind energy facility has obtained a permit.
In 2009, Exxon Mobil pleaded guilty and
paid $600,000 for killing 85 birds in five states.
The BP oil company was fined $100 million
for killing and harming migratory birds during
the 2010 Gulf oil spill. And PacifiCorp, which
operates coal plants, paid more than $10.5 mil-
lion in 2009 for electrocuting 232 eagles along
power lines and at its substations.
Wind farms are clusters of turbines as
tall as 30-story buildings, with spinning
rotors as wide as a passenger jets wingspan.
Though the blades appear to move slowly,
they can reach speeds up to 170 mph at the
tips, creating tornado-like vortexes.
Flying eagles behave like drivers texting
on their cellphones; they dont look up. As
they scan for food, they dont notice the
industrial turbine blades until its too late.
The wind farms in Fridays settlement
came on line before the Obama administra-
tion drafted voluntary guidelines encour-
aging wind energy companies to work
with the Fish and Wildlife Service to
avoid locations that would impact wildlife.
Companies that choose to cooperate get
rewarded, because prosecutors take it into
consideration before pursuing prosecution.
51 dead in grocery
roof collapse in Latvia
RIGA, Latvia (AP) As
Latvian rescue workers searched
Friday for bodies in the rubble
of a supermarket collapse that
killed dozens, speculation about
the cause focused on a garden
and a playground being installed
on the grass- and gravel-covered
roof.
The death toll from the
Thursday evening rush-hour
roof collapse at the Maxima
supermarket in Latvias capital
had risen to at least 51, including
three firefighters, police said.
Police opened a criminal
investigation into the cause of
the tragedy at the award-winning
building once vaunted as a
place where high-rise residents
could step out of their homes,
stroll along a shady garden and
pick up a couple of items for
dinner.
Riga Mayor Nils Usakovs
told reporters that large bags of
construction materials and soil
were left on a weak spot on
the roof and could have caused
the collapse. It had rained for
days, leading to speculation that
the soil had become soaked and
weighed down.
Deputy Mayor Andris
Ameriks said that several rein-
forced steel beams fell over at
once, which might indicate that
engineers failed to properly cal-
culate load pressure on the roof.
He blamed budget cuts for a lack
of construction controls.
In recent years due to the
economic crisis many institu-
tions, including construction
oversight, were closed in
Latvia in order to save money,
Ameriks told Latvian television.
An enormous crater-like hole
gaped in the supermarkets roof,
while building materials were
still stacked on the remaining
sections.
It was the largest tragedy for
the Baltic state since it regained
independence from the Soviet
Union in 1991. Latvias gov-
ernment declared three days of
mourning starting Saturday.
At least 35 people were
injured, 28 of them hospitalized,
including 10 firefighters struck
just as they entered the unstable
building, emergency medical
officials said.
The store was filled with
shoppers when an enormous
section of the roof caved in. Two
hours later, while rescue workers
searched for survivors, a second
and larger section of roof caved
in, trapping and killing firefight-
ers.
Nina Kameneva, a retiree
who lives on the seventh floor of
an apartment building overlook-
ing the supermarket, said she and
her husband were in the kitchen
when the first collapse occurred
at approximately 4:45 p.m. on
Thursday producing a jolt so
powerful it shook their building.
She said they both rushed out
onto their balcony, from where
they saw survivors trying to
scramble out of the store through
a cloud of dust.
Philippine
typhoon death toll
rises above 5,000
MANILA, Philippines
(AP) The death toll from
one of the strongest typhoons
on record has risen above
5,000 and is likely to climb
further, although recovery
efforts are beginning to take
hold, Philippine officials said
Friday.
Interior Secretary Mar
Roxas said 4,919 people were
killed on Leyte, Samar and
nearby islands in the Eastern
Visayas region. Civil defense
chief Eduardo del Rosario
said 290 others died in other
parts of the central and south-
ern Philippines.
The regions were battered
two weeks ago by fierce winds
and tsunami-like storm surges
from Typhoon Haiyan, locally
called Yolanda.
Del Rosario said there were
1,611 people still missing.
That is the sad record of
Yolandas passage through
our country, Roxas said. But
he added that The worst is
over.
He likened the region to a
patient that has been moved
out of the emergency room
into an intensive care unit.
We have overcome the
most difficult part, he said.
In the first week we can say
we were in the emergency
room this second week we
are now in the ICU, still criti-
cal but stabilized.
He said the hard-hit Leyte
provincial capital of Tacloban
reported 1,725 dead. I believe
this number in Tacloban city
is not yet final, he said.
Most of the bodies have
been buried in mass graves,
many of them unidentified,
he said.
It is possible that some
of the missing are among the
unidentified, he said.
Journalists in Tacloban say
the stench of death from piles
of debris, upturned vehicles
and remnants of what once
were homes indicates that
bodies remain trapped under-
neath.
Roxas said the situation
was stabilizing, with major
roads on Samar and Leyte
cleared of debris and some
banks, grocery stores and gas
stations now open.
More troops and police
have been brought to the
region from other parts of the
country to beef up law and
order.
The new color scheme was adapted for
these locomotives in order to have these
locomotives have the whole train harmo-
nized. The coaches as well as the mail,
express and baggage cars, in use on the B. &
O. are olive green and the new locomotives
will match this hue, with a little touch of red
and gold added to enhance their appearance.

Has Suggestions to
Eliminate Scotts Crossing
P.J. Backus has a suggestion to overcome
the dangers of Scotts Crossing. He would
re-route Harding Highway on the north side
of the railroad by turning the road to the
east a short distance to the crossing at the
elevator.
His letter to editor of the Herald follows:
Editor,
Will you please tell the people this, for
more safety at Scotts Crossing. For the
lives of the traveling public on the Railway
trains and those traveling in cars on the
Highway.
Run a detour through Scotts Orchard,
so the west bound traffic on the highway
can avoid dangering their lives and the lives
of the people on the fast trains. Another
good point is that it would parallel the traf-
fic, causing the auto driving public to slow
down and making it possible for them to
cross the tracks on a level. In case a fast
train was ever derailed by an automobile, it
could not go into the Auglaize River Valley,
if the surface was level at this elevator
crossing.
Until an overhead or underground cross-
ing can be installed, one crossing should
be plenty, for the present traffic. I tried to
put a highway through Scotts orchard in
1899, and this is 1927. Nothing could have
saved the childrens mothers lives, which
were lost here last Saturday, but a by-pass
through Scotts orchard. Also this would do
away with one of the most dangerous cross-
ings in Ohio.
Yours sincerely,
P.J. Backus
(P.S. Mr. Backus of Delphos, invented
many things, including railroad gates. R.H.)

Partial obituary, one of the oldest residents

of Washington Township, Van Wert County.
One of the oldest residents of Washington
Township, Mrs. Cresentia Smith, answered
the call to the great beyond at her home
about three miles west of Delphos Thursday
morning. She had contracted a cold last
Tuesday and on Wednesday was able to go
about her work at her home in the usual way.
Flu developed Thursday morning, proving
too great a task, due to her advanced age.
Mrs. Smith was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Baldauf on August 24, 1842 in
Regansburg, Germany. At the age of nine
years, she and her parents came to this
country and resided at a little settlement
at French Creek, Ohio. The past sixty-one
years were spent at the old home place
where she passed away.

That same year, Carl
Fisher stepped away from
an active role in the orga-
nization and moved to
Florida. Henry Joy was an
outdoorsman with wan-
derlust and enjoyed tak-
ing his beloved Packard
on reliability tests. In
1915, Joy and two of
his friends set out for
the west coast. It started
to rain just before they
got to LaPort, Ind., and
rained for days and days.
The roads were bad. Joy
remarked that they were
12 to 20 inches deep in
jumbo. They made 37
miles on Tuesday, driv-
ing in low gear prac-
tically all the way.
They even forded the
DeMoines River, driving
the Packard through mud
and water; water above
the hubs and running
boards but the carbure-
tor and ignition remained
dry. It had taken them
11 hard days to cover
the 1,000 miles between
Chicago and Cheyenne.
In good weather, they
could have done it in lit-
tle more than three days.
They eventually made it
to the Panama Pacific
Exposition.
Henry Joy and his
companions made a tri-
umphant entrance to San
Francisco and the exposi-
tion. Their unkempt car
was the center of atten-
tion as it crossed the
San Francisco Bay on a
ferry, rumbled through
the city and entered the
exposition grounds, cov-
ered with mud and road
grime. The Packard was
placed on display in the
Palace of Transportation.
His beloved car had
proved to be very reli-
able but Henry Joy was
a little disappointed in
the coast-to-coast road.
It took them 21 days
to make the trip from
Detroit to San Francisco.
The Lincoln Highway
was no highway in the
spring of 1915. It was a
mud hole extending from
Illinois to Wyoming.
Later came U. S. Rout
30, which covered parts
of the original route and
since that time Interstate
80 runs along side the
Lincoln Highway or just
a few miles away in some
instances.
Next week, this col-
umn will feature some
of its points of interest
and especially its route
through Ohio and our
City of Delphos.
We are patiently waiting for
the new doorway between the
current shop and our annex build-
ing to be completed. The foot-
ers are in and the steel for the
sides and the roofing material
is ordered. The biggest hold-up
is, of course, the state-mandated
regulations and red tape. We
did paint the step into the annex
a bright, very noticeable orange
to caution shoppers to be careful
upon entering and exiting.
Many nice items are still avail-
able in the Christmas Shop annex
great knick-knacks and table
decorations, stockings, Christmas
sweaters and sweatshirts, trees
and all the trimmings. Theres
some very beautiful, fancy little
Christmas dresses for the little
girls for the holidays, too.
The Boutique has some very
nice leather jackets and purses
and be sure to browse all the nice
crystal, and china, and the nice
array of porcelain dolls. There are
many clothing items still with the
tags on and shoes, too. Stop in to
check it out!
If youve driven up to the drop
off window with a donation and
the window is overloaded, stop
around to the back door of the
shop. Someone is always there
from 9 a.m. to noon Monday
through Friday. Well gladly help
you unload, too! We very much
appreciate your gently-used,
clean items. Please, never leave
things on the sidewalk; its against
the law as people may stumble
over it and those nice items are
then subject to the weather and
may not be able to be used if left
in the rain or snow.
The Thrift Shop has a nice
problem. Our business keeps
getting bigger and bigger. To help
alleviate an overload of duties on
just one person (the shop coor-
dinator), the board has decided
to separate those duties and des-
ignated Barb Haggard as the
volunteer coordinator and Kelly
Williams as the retail coordina-
tor. Each of these gals can now
dedicate the time needed to make
the Delphos Thrift Shop the best
in the area.
As always, if youd like to
volunteer your help, please
call the Thrift Shop at 419-
692-2942. Or, if youre in
need of assistance, please call
us to arrange for an appoint-
ment with the Social Services
Director.
All of us at the Thrift Shop
wish you a time of joyful,
peaceful reflection about what
youre truly thankful for and
wish you and your families
a very Happy Thanksgiving.

It was his time to wrap things up and say goodbye to every-
one, Lance stated.
A few weeks later, the Browns had the opportunity to see Jim
one last time before his passing on July 31.
He did not want people sitting around in a funeral home,
Lance said.
He wanted people talking about and toasting his life, Annette
explained.
After some research, the Browns found the American Fireworks
Company in Hudson, Ohio, who arranged everything including
calling and scheduling the Fort Jennings Fire Department to be on
hand during the pyrotechnic farewell.
He was a multi-faceted man and liked all kinds of people,
Annette said. When they (the fireworks company) asked me
about colors, I said use every color.
The Browns said that this past Saturday was the first time all
of Jims family and friends could come together for the celebra-
tion of his life they traveled from Texas, Michigan, Maryland,
Massachusetts and Virginia.
Jim made sure we had great weather for the fireworks, Lance
smiled.
Prior to setting off the fireworks, an employee from the
company showed us the 12 shells containing Jims cremains, the
Browns explained. We used Sharpies and wrote messages to Jim
on the outside of the shells.
The Browns said that the experience was awesome and much
more than they had ever expected.
People could see the fireworks display which lasted 11
minutes from Landeck and Ft. Jennings and of course, off
of US 30, where people pulled over to watch and/or sound their
horns unknowingly participating in a very unique celebration of an
incredible mans life.
Finale
I try to come up with an idea that
solves a problem to fit a solution,
Bendele said. The key thing is I try
to do something unique for each per-
son or organization to fit their needs.
Thats what keeps it interesting: I
dont do a lot of the same.
Usually Bendele comes up with a
basic concept that is just clear enough
to him to get started, rather than cre-
ating a model.
A drawing or a model is one thing
but the material is something differ-
ent, he said.
The pieces in each work of art
respond to each other, he explained,
and the process of creating the over-
all piece is ongoing. A model may
serve as a basic starting point but for
Bendele, it is not always necessary.
I couldnt always do it this way,
but I can now because of where I am
in my career, he said.
Bendele became intrigued with
metalsmithing when he took a jewelry
class in college.
Something that intrigued me fair-
ly immediately was the ability to
manipulate something that appears
solid, he said.
He attended Bowling Green State
University at the time and graduated
with a degree in English education.
In 1976, he started blacksmithing as
a hobby and after a couple years of
teaching, he left in 1978 to become a
full-time blacksmith.
Now, he combines his education
background and his love for metal-
smithing by teaching at national and
state conferences and various craft
schools as a way of giving back.
The initial intrigue, though, still
exists for Bendele.
Metal can be very expressive,
he said. The intrigue with it to take
a piece of steel thats a cold, lifeless
object and to create movement and
motion, its really intriguing.
That intrigue added to the chal-
lenge of working with metal makes
each experience feel like he is learn-
ing, Bendele said.
I still consider myself to be learn-
ing, otherwise its just a lot of hard
work, he laughed.

The Brumback Library
is one of two libraries
in the state to receive a
four-star rating, the other
being the Loudonville
Public Library. Three-
star recognition went
to New Carlisle Public
Library, Orrville Public
Library and Habor-Topky
Memorial Library.
The 2013 rankings,
which are based on 2011
statistics, give star sta-
tus to 263 public librar-
ies, with 32 in Ohio.
Libraries are rated by
Library Journal on their
performance within cat-
egories determined by
operating expenditures.
Performance is then mea-
sured and points awarded
in circulation, library vis-
its, program attendance
and public use of the
Internet. The number of
stars received is based on
the total points earned.
More than 26,000 coun-
ty residents are registered
library card holders. In
2011, the library expanded
services to include access
to e-books, downloadable
videos, audios and music
through the Ohio Ebook
Project, bringing in more
patrons.
In 2012, library patrons
checked out more than
739,000 items. Between
the main library and the
five branch facilities,
the Brumback Librarys
collection is more then
228,000 items.
The library offers a
service schedule of 179.5
hours per week, said Joan
Stripe, president of the
Brumback Library Board
of Trustees. While there
are public libraries that
have much larger incomes
than we have and oth-
ers that are smaller and
able to save large sums
of money due to fewer
demands for their servic-
es, the Brumback Library
has an admirable record
indeed. We have and con-
tinue to be good frugal
stewards of the funds
untrusted to us.
Over the past 11 years,
the Brumback Library, like
the states other 250 public
libraries, has experienced
many funding freezes and
major funding cuts. As a
result, staff reductions, a
slight decrease in hours of
operation, cuts in salaries
and limited reductions in
purchasing some materials
have occurred.
While many libraries
have cut hours and servic-
es greatly, the Brumback
Library sought to mini-
mize such cuts by reduc-
ing staff size and the like.
In fact, the library pres-
ently serves larger num-
bers of people, many from
area communities whose
libraries hours of opera-
tion and purchases of
print and non-print items
were severely cut, Stripe
added.
The 0. 5-mill levy
which was approved by
county voters in 2005
and renewed in 2010 has
helped greatly. Although
it has not fully compensat-
ed for all the state fund-
ing cuts, it has helped the
Brumback Library keep its
services and resources at
the level county residents
have come to expect.
We are truly grate-
ful for the support of Van
Wert Countys residents
in passing the aforemen-
tioned levies, Carr noted.
Such funds are indeed
vital and are truly appre-
ciated. The doors of Main
Library and the librarys
branches in Convoy,
Middle Point, Ohio City,
Willshire and Wren are
open to one and all. The
Brumback Library remains
a center of lifelong learn-
ing for Van Wert County
residents of all ages.
