ELIDA Upgrades to the village wastewater treatment plant highlighted the Elida Village Council meeting Tuesday evening. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is mandating the plant have a screening process. Village Administrator Scott Fessler reported three different engineering firms have been interviewed and he visited two sites to check on their work. I would like to go with the recommendation to contract with Jones & Henry for work at the wastewater treatment plant, not to exceed $60,000. The goal is for them to suggest current status and what the plant should be doing in 20 years and how we achieve that goal. This will make our plant more efficient and have fewer maintenance issues, Fessler said. Fessler also proposed to council the annexation of property currently in the village to American Township. We have been approached by attorney Younkman representing a resident who wants to have his property at 2641 Baty Road annexed into American Township. Fessler said. By annexing this corner lot, it would make it feasible to split his lot for building purposes. Council took the proposal under advisement. Council President Kim Hardy presented a vote on

STATE/LOCAL Marion Township waits for response from Delphos on fire contract
Information submitted MARION TOWNSHIP The Marion Township Trustees met Monday with the following members present: Joseph Youngpeter, Howard Violet and Jerry Gilden. The purpose of the meeting was to pay bills and conduct ongoing business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Trustees then reviewed the bills and gave approval for 17 checks totaling $22,300. Road Foreman Elwer spoke with the county regarding helping with the trees and brush removal from the ditch in the Cremean Road area and they will provide help where needed. Fiscal Officer Kimmet gave the trustees the Fund Status and Bank Reconciliation reports from Nov. 30 for their review and signature. He gave trustees Youngpeter and Violet their bonds needed to get sworn in for their next term. Two representatives from the Delphos City Council were present to see why the township has not contacted the city regarding the Fire Contract. The trustees presented the letter that was emailed to all of them plus the mayor and safety service. A hard copy was also delivered to the City Building, all of which was done on Oct. 16, which asked the city to get back with the township regarding the level of services the township will receive due to the reduction in personnel. The trustees stated no one has contacted the township regarding this and this is what the township is waiting on before a contract can be negotiated. There being no further business a motion to adjourn by Violet was seconded by Gilden and passed unanimously.
E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: What are some ideas for being greener this holiday season? Beth Livingston, Camden, NJ
While the holidays are festive and fun, they can take a toll on the environment. All that shopping, decoration, food preparation and travel adds up to more carbon emissions and more waste. But there are ways to minimize our impact and still celebrate the season in grand style. For starters, buy fewer gifts. Homemade, personal gifts are always appreciated as much or more than something store-bought. Paint a painting, bake a cake, or make a playlist of favorite songs. EarthEasy.com recommends giving services instead of goods to cut down on the materialism of the holidays: A great gift could be an hours massage at a local spa, or music lessons for a budding musician. Other service gift ideas include childcare or tutoring, dog walking, cooking, window-washing, a car wash and vacuum or even Internet/computer lessons. Another way to cut down on the amount of stuff passing under your tree is by having a Secret Santa exchange among grown-ups so that every adult doesnt have to get gifts for several others. The kids, who participated in the Nov. 25 Fun Day at the Y, are showing the crafts that Another way to save energy and waste is they created during the activity filled day. (Submitted photo) to tone down the holiday decorating, especially with regard to lighting. A 2008 report commissioned by the Department of Energy found that holiday lighting across the U.S. uses up some six terawatt-hours of electric-
ity per year, which is equivalent to the total electricity consumption of half a million homes in a month. If you do still decide to indulge in holiday lights, try to go LED. The smaller light emitting diode bulbs dont get hot to the touch (and are less likely to start a fire) and consume a fraction of the electricity of their incandescent predecessors while lasting 10 times longer. HolidayLEDs. com gives customers who recycle their old holiday lights with them a voucher for 15 percent off a new order of LED lights. Believe it or not, your choice of a Christmas tree affects your environmental footprint as well. The Epoch Times reports that artificial trees are not necessarily the answer, as most are made out of petrochemicals, PVC, metals or sometimes even lead, and cant usually be recycled so end up in landfills after a few years of useful life. Furthermore, some 80 percent of artificial trees are made in China, meaning shipping them on trucks, railways and container ships uses a lot of fuel and emits a lot of carbon dioxide accordingly. Getting a real tree, preferably one that is organic and sustainably harvested by a local tree farmer, is a better choice. After all, real trees provide habitat for wildlife while they are growing, and they filter dust and pollen out of the air while producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide. The Epoch Times adds that typically one to three tree seeds are planted for every Christmas tree harvested in the U.S. And if you get a potted (living) Christmas tree, you can keep it for years after the holidays pass, either in its pot (or a bigger one as it grows) or in the ground outside. Of course, another way to keep your carbon footprint down over the holidays is by just staying home. A third of the carbon emissions we generate in our daily lives come from driving our cars, so why not stay off the roads over the holidays? And air travel is one of the biggest carbon splurges any of us indulge in, so not jetting across the country to visit in-laws might be the best environmental action you take all year.

VAN WERT The YMCA of Van Wert County will be holding an all-day event, Kids Fun Day at the Y, for kids ages 6-12 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 23. We wanted to give the kids something structured and fun to do on their next scheduled day off of school, stated Mitch Price, Y program director. We plan to structure it similar to summer camps, only indoors. A variety of fun events are scheduled for the day and possibly a great last minute shopping day for the parents. These events include but will not be limited to sports, games, swimming, bounce house, arts

COLUMBUS Nutrient management, agricultural drainage and state tax policy were among issues voting delegates addressed at the 95th annual meeting of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. Delegates also established a committee to study changes to the membership model for the organization. The organizations policy, enacted by the 346 delegates, will direct Farm Bureaus actions for the coming year. The meeting took place Dec. 4-6 in Columbus. OFBF reiterated its commitment to assist farmers as they take steps to improve water quality. Without approving any specific legislation, delegates supported nutrient management education programs that include certification for fertilizer applicators. Farm Bureau policy also states that Ohio should have a comprehensive reduction strategy for all nutrient sources. The agricultural portions should be based on the 4 - R principles, be economically feasible for farmers and provide clear criteria regarding suspension of certification. On taxes, delegates recognized that tax reform is often a trade-off between taxing methods; they created policy that prioritizes income taxes over property taxes as revenue sources for state and local governments. Delegates also prioritized how oil and gas severance tax revenue should be used: First use should be for oil and gas regulatory programs, followed by local economic development and then income tax reduction. Delegates also called for any tax credits offered on new severance taxes to proportionally benefit producers and landowners with royalty interests. Farm Bureau delegates voted to support streamlining of the petition ditch process and development of a statewide plan that provides consistency to petition ditch easements and maintenance. In addition, delegates called for an alternative funding mechanism for Ohio State Universitys Agricultural Technical Institute. Other state policies approved pistol caliber rifles during deer gun season, called for improved transparency in electric choice programs and supported steps to protect chemical sensitive crops, bees and other pollinators. Delegates also voted to support market-based commodity programs in the farm bill. See POLICY, page 10

By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com So, Robert Griffith III is being shut down for the rest of the season. This just leads more credence it was pretty apparent watching RG IIIs press conference after Sundays game and other reports that there is a war going on between head coach Mike Shanahan and owner Daniel Snyder on the direction of the team. I guess that makes sense if you are afraid your franchise QB is playing hurt and could get hurt more in the last three games, especially if the Redskins tank the. However, Griffith apparently is not pleased with this decision but is playing the good team guy. Guess who will win that war, especially since, appar-

their mission statement, I feel like I fit it pretty well. Wednesday was also a lot more low key this time around for Manziel, who had his hopes of a Heisman repeat clouded by less than stellar performances late in the year and four losses by the Aggies. Though hes granted a vote this year as a Heisman winner, Manziel said he was going to follow the Heisman Trust and not reveal his vote but added he didnt vote for himself in first or second place. Its a possibility, Manziel said of the chances of seeing consecutive freshmen win. I guess well find out on Saturday. But its crazy to have that long of a barrier and then potentially we could have two back-to-back. So definitely a neat deal, though. While there is lots of intrigue about whether he could enter the NFL draft after the season ends, Manziel said he will take time after the season to discuss it with his mentors and coaches but likes his readiness. In my mind, I feel like Im playing for the most part at a high level, he added. Im putting the ball where I want it to be, and Im throwing it with a lot of velocity. So in my mind, I think I am. As for Winston, he said he hasnt started to envision holding the Heisman at the end of the week. It would be an honor, man, Winston added. If that happens, just to look in the stands and see my family and see my coach, and say Hey, I made you happy. I made your proud. Its not really for me. Its for my family and my teammates. My teammates, theyre going to like that, because my teammates want me to get it and my family, of course they want me to get it. So its more about them than me.

left disappointed by the way the season went for his team. The Crimson Tide was knocked out of a chance to play for a third straight national title after losing to Auburn. Mosley will end his college career when Alabama meets Oklahoma on Jan. 2 in the Sugar Bowl. He leads Alabama with 102 tackles, has seven tackles for losses and broke up five passes. Sam, who grew up in nearby Hitchcock, Texas, enjoyed returning to his home state for the ceremony. Sam became the first player from Missouri to be a finalist for the Lombardi Award after piling up 18 tackles for losses and 10 sacks. He also returned a fumble for a touchdown. Barr is tied for fifth in the nation with 20 tackles for losses. He also has 10 sacks, 62 tackles and forced five fumbles this season. He was honored to be a finalist for the award. Michigan States Narduzzi wins Broyles Award LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi won the annual Broyles Award given to the top college assistant coach. Narduzzi, in his seventh season for the fourth-ranked Spartans, was honored at a luncheon in Little Rock. Hes responsible for guiding a Michigan State defense that earned a spot in the Rose Bowl against No. 5 Stanford with a 34-24 win over Ohio State in the Big Ten Conference championship game. The Spartans (12-1) were first in the country this season in total defense, allowing an average of 248.2 yards per game. Its the third straight season Michigan State has ranked among the top 10 nationally. The Spartans were fourth in the country in allowing 12.7 points per game. Narduzzi has served as defensive coordinator under Mark Dantonio for the past 10 seasons, including three years together at Cincinnati from 2004-06. The Spartans also led the nation in rushing defense this season, allowing just 80.8 yards on the ground per game. The award is named for former Arkansas coach Frank Broyles, who is noted for developing assistants into head coaches. A number of his aides went on to stellar careers, including Hayden Fry, Joe Gibbs, Jimmy Johnson, Johnny Majors, Jackie Sherrill and Barry Switzer. Fry, Majors and Switzer were on this years selection committee. See ROUNDUP, page 7
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. Tiger Woods said long ago he would give up golf when he felt he could play his best and still not win. That includes his lifetime invitation to the Masters. Let me put it to you this way, Woods explained last week at his World Challenge. Im not going to beat Arnolds record. Im not playing that long, thats for sure. Palmer set a record in 2004 by playing in his 50th consecutive Masters. Woods won his first green jacket when he was 21 and with reasonable health (a big assumption considering his injuries), he would seem to be in the best position to break that record. Even with his injuries, the Masters is the one major Woods has never missed. He just doesnt appear the least bit interested in that kind of a record. For me, I always want to win, he said. So if I cant win, why tee it up? Thats just my own personal belief. And I know what it takes to prepare to win and what it takes to go out there and get the job done, and theres going to become a point in time where I just cant do it anymore. We all as athletes face that moment. Im a ways from that moment in my sport, but when that day happens, Ill make a decision and thats it. But for Woods or any golfer, its tough to know when that day happens. See GOLF, page 7
Associated Press Pitts Donald wins Lombardi Award HOUSTON Pittsburghs Aaron Donald picked up another award Wednesday night, winning the Rotary Lombardi Award. Donald beat out Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley, Missouri defensive end Michael Sam and UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr for the award given annually to the nations top college lineman. Its already been a big week for Donald, a senior defensive tackle who won the Bronko Nagurski award given to the nations top college defensive player Monday. Its a true blessing and a true honor for people to notice me and notice the hard work I put into this game, Donald said. The 6-foot, 285-pound Donald leads the nation with 26 tackles for losses and his 28 career sacks are tops among active players in the Football Bowl Subdivision and fourth in school history. Donald has 10 sacks, 54 tackles and has forced four fumbles this season. Though Pittsburgh is headed to the play Bowling Green in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl on Dec. 26, Donald was disappointed that his 6-6 team didnt do better. Mosley was another finalist who was

Other finalists were Auburns Rhett Lashlee, Baylors Philip Montgomery, Florida States Jeremy Pruitt and Dukes Kurt Roper. Auburns Malzahn wins Home Depot Coach of the Year ORLANDO, Fla. Auburns Gus Malzahn has been named Home Depot Coach of the Year and Washingtons Austin Seferian-Jenkins was selected the John Mackey Award winner for the nations outstanding tight end. The announcements were made Wednesday. Both awards will be presented today as part of the College Football Awards Show at Disneys Boardwalk. In his first season as Auburn coach, Malzahn led the Tigers to a 12-1 record and berth in the BCS national championship game against Florida State on Jan. 6. A win in the title game would make Auburns improvement from 3-9 in 2012 the best in FBS history. Malzahn is only the second first-year coach to lead his team to the national championship game. Seferian-Jenkins becomes the first Mackey Award winner from Washington and third from the Pac-12. Malzahn, Mason receive SEC awards BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Southeastern Conference coaches have voted Auburns Gus Malzahn coach of the year and picked
his star tailback Tre Mason as the top offensive player. Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley and Missouri defensive end Michael Sam are co-defensive players of the year. The SEC released the winners on Wednesday. Alabama receiver/return man Christion Jones is special teams player of the year. Mississippi receiver Laquon Treadwell is freshman of the year. Texas A&M left tackle Jake Matthews receives the Jacobs Blocking Trophy. Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is ScholarAthlete of the Year. Malzahn and Mason have led No. 2 Auburn into the national championship game Jan. 6 against No. 1 Florida State. Mason is a Heisman Trophy finalist. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players. ACC coaches vote FSUs Winston player of year GREENSBORO, N.C. The Atlantic Coast Conferences coaches have selected Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston as the leagues player of the year and Dukes David Cutcliffe as the coach of the year. The ACC announced the results of the coaches vote Wednesday, one week after the voting media selected its award winners. Winston, a Heisman Trophy favorite, also was voted the leagues rookie of the year, the offensive player of the year and the first-team all-ACC quarterback by the coaches.
Palmer never won another PGA Tour event after the Bob Hope Classic in 1973, though he remained competitive for many years. Several players eligible for the Champions Tour are hesitant about moving on. When is it time? In golf, you can still win golf tournaments in your 50s and guys have done it, Woods replied. Probably the more difficult thing is that you can still finish top 10, top five, but youre probably just not quite as efficient as you need to be to win golf tournaments. But you can still be there. Might he change his mind about the Masters as he gets older? It doesnt sound like it. Mellowing on that? No. Ill be on that first tee starting out the event, Im sure, he added with a smile and a dose of sarcasm. So I mean, you hit a good drive and you cant get to where you can see the flag? I dont know why its even fun. STENSON AWARD: Henrik Stenson has won the Golf Writers Trophy from the Association of Golf Writers, awarded to the top golfer who was born or lives in Europe, along with European teams. Stenson became the first player this year to win the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour and the Race to Dubai on the European Tour. Nearly two-thirds of the AGW members made Stenson their first choice on a ballot that included U.S. Open champion Justin Rose and Europes Solheim Cup team that won on American soil
Musings
for the first time. Stenson was the first Swedish male to win the award. Annika Sorenstam won the award twice. Stenson primarily lives at Lake Nona in Orlando, Fla. IN THE BAG: Jack Nicklaus wont have a bouquet of head covers in his bag when he plays the PNC Father-Son Challenge this weekend, though the 14 clubs in his bag have changed from his prime. Nicklaus noted when he played on the PGA Tour, he carried a driver and a 3-wood, a 1-iron through a 9-iron, pitching wedge, sand wedge and putter. Now Ive got a driver, a 3-wood, a 4-wood and a 5-wood, he explained last week in a conference call. Im not a big hybrid guy, although Im playing with one right now and I took out the 2-iron. Thats pretty much where I am. Im usually a 3-iron through 9-iron, pitching wedge and sand wedge. I dont know if thats 14 or 15 (clubs) but itll be 14 when I tee it up. No other player hit more memorable shots with a 1-iron than Nicklaus, a club that featured in three of his majors the 1972 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the 1975 Masters and the 1967 U.S. Open at Baltusrol. But there were times when he benched the
1-iron. I used to even go to Augusta when I carried a 1-iron a lot and sometimes Id put in maybe a 4- or 5-wood, simply because you needed some elevation to stop it on the greens and some of the lies you played, Nicklaus added. THE HANEY SHOW: Hank Haney has gone from writing a book on his years with Tiger Woods to hosting his own radio show on SiriusXM. The radio network continues to beef up its programming. It already has shows for Henrik Stenson and Ian Poulter, along with 2-time Masters champion, architect and golf savant Ben Crenshaw. Haney will host Hank Haney Golf Radio, an instructional-based show that will air Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. ET starting on Jan. 3. The program will be geared around Haneys teaching philosophy and he will take calls from listeners who want help with their games. Haney also will offer his analysis on todays players and take on current topics, which are sure to include Woods. TWEETING TIGER: Jason Dufner jokingly tweeted to Woods that the schedule of the World Challenge be changed so Dufner could watch Auburn in the SEC title game last week. Woods replied on Twitter, Petition denied.
It was a significant only because it was Woods first tweet in more than a month. It was his 35th tweet in the span of a year, most of them commercially related. And that Dufner tweet was the first of get this FIVE tweets in two days. Woods said girlfriend Lindsey Vonn is trying to persuade him to tweet more. Progress remains slow. I grew up in a different era and its a little bit different for me, Woods added, who is 9 years older than the downhill ski champion. Im still a little bit old-school. Im kind of getting it but still not grasping the whole concept yet. But Ill get there eventually. DIVOTS: K.J. Choi donated his $100,000 from the World Cup to help with relief efforts in the Philippines. I wanted to represent Korea in sharing the sentiment of my fellow countrymen to our friends in the Philippines, Choi said. I send my deepest condolences to the people of the Philippines who have lost their families and homes. The donation from the KJ Choi Foundation was sent to the American Red Cross. Redstone Golf Club is now called Golf Club of Houston under a contractual requirement when it changed ownership. It still is host of the Shell Houston Open, the final PGA Tour event before the Masters. Cal coach Steve Desimone has been selected U.S. captain of the Palmer Cup next year. The Palmer Cup, which matches college players from the United States and Europe, will be June 26-28 at Walton Heath.
They came to this conclusion on technical grounds, so whether there was merit to the case is in dispute. I guess for me, the question is: if this had been vice versa, what would have been the response from the usual suspects? As far as I know, these men werent interviewed on the usual shows, the usual reporters, etc. In fact, they may have ended their careers; they made noise and perhaps wont have a snowballs chance in the other place to get another job in their chosen profession. My complaint is that men are supposed to suck it up, to take it like a man and move on. Wrong! Whats wrong is wrong,
no matter who. Men are people, too! This is something I fear we will by necessity, should? see more of as we go into our politically correct future. I dont like it but thats how it is. Just like this item that I came across a while back. It is in regard to a disputed mascot. It seems Coachella Valley (Southern California) High School is nicknamed the Arabs, featuring a snarling, black-bearded mascot wearing a head scarf. According to information I have perused, the mascot was chosen as a recognition of the areas datefarming reliance, which apparently is traditionally a Middle Eastern
crop. There is also a nearby community named Mecca which also pays homage to the Middle East. They have had this personage for almost a century but has NOW become a controversial figure as a stereotype and offensive in the views of an anti-discrimination group. Apparently, the nearby school district will keep the nickname Arab but adopt a new mascot, which is yet to be determined. There are those who, good for them, are not happy with this because the original intent was to honor their areas legacy, a good thing or so you might think. They also feature belly dancers at halftime, which also is in danger of going the way of the do-do. Is nothing sacred anymore?
Wonder if they will be forced to change the name of the nearby town from Mecca because that is discriminatory? Or is that OK? People have too much time on their hands. I am waiting for all these nattering nabobs of negativism to go after Notre Dame for its Fighting Irish after all, since I know of at least one writer in the Washington Redskins baloney who claimed that if ONE person is offended, it needs to go because I am Irish and I dont fight, so I am offended. Or the San Diego Padres or New Orleans Saints because, as a Catholic, I am offended at these demeaning and debasing stereotypes, so they must go! Forget the lack of a mascot; the NAME is offensive!
I dont want them called Golden Eagles (Marquette when they changed from the Warriors) because that is demeaning they are now animals, not human beings, and everybody should be offended by that, including their players! or Red Storm (as St. Johns University changing from the Redmen) because that is a destructive, violent storm on Jupiter and is that want we want to be? Violent? Murderous? One person is offended by anything and everything. What is the old maxim: 10 percent of the people (or so) in the world hate you simply because you exist! See how far this can go once you allow bullies to get their way? Is this where we REALLY want to go?

However, taking fish oil capsules is not the same thing as eating fish. There is very strong evidence that people who regularly eat fish have lower rates of heart disease. Multiple well-done studies have shown that a diet including fish leads to lower rates of heart disease and stroke. So I advise my patients to keep eating fish, especially fatty fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Examples of fatty fish include salmon, sardines, mackerel, char and halibut. You might still decide to take an omega-3 supplement. At low to moderate doses (1,000 milligrams or less per day), this appears to
be quite safe. Since fish oil has a mild blood-thinning effect, check with your doctor if youre also taking a blood thinner as well as fish oil capsules. In the meantime, stick to proven ways to lower your chance of heart attack and stroke: -- Quit smoking. -- Exercise more. -- Eat smaller portions. -Decrease saturated fats and eliminate trans fats. -- Keep your blood pressure in the normal range, with medicines if needed. -- Lower your LDL cholesterol with medication if needed. -- Ask your doctor if you should take a baby aspirin.

Save Box SARA NOEL Tops and labels: Check your shelves for products that have the Labels for Education and/ or Box Tops for Education. Many schools collect them to secure equipment and other things for their students. A lot of people just throw them away, but they can be put to good use! The labels are on cereals, snacks, soups and many other things found in your home. (I even found them on a cleaning product.) I no longer have school-age children, but I still collect the labels for a local school. Some of my relatives have been in the habit of saving them for me, too. All a person has to do is call a local school to find out if they collect them, then periodically have someone take them to the school. (Some schools have volunteers who will be glad to do so.) Save them yearround and find out when the deadline for redemption is so you get them to the school in time. -- M.K., email Buying precious metals: I own some silver and gold. As with anything, you need to know why youre buying it and understand how it fits into your overall financial plan. Its not a get-rich-quick scheme, and its also not a guaranteed way to preserve wealth. I purchase my gold from Bullion Direct. Theres an auction part of their site and also a fixed-price listing. I paid a few dollars more and used the fixed-price side. They shipped it to my door via FedEx. -- Sarah, Massachusetts

ress. Added House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, If youre for more deficit reduction, youre for this agreement. Boehner also took a swipe at outside groups that helped steer Republicans toward the politically damaging shutdown and opposed the current deal before it was sealed. Theyre using our members, and theyre using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous, he said, evidently referring to the Club For Growth, Heritage Action and other organizations. Modest in scope, the deal underscores how much ambitions have shriveled since the summer of 2011, when Obama and Boehner held private but unsuccessful talks on a grand bargain to reduce deficits by $4 trillion over a decade. In the current climate, though, it means a return to something approaching a routine, where spending committees will be able to write and pass individual bills each year, removed from the threat of a shutdown. As drafted, the bill would reverse $63 billion in across-the-board spending cuts scheduled to take effect in the current budget year and the next one, easing a crunch on programs as diverse as environmental protection and the Pentagon. It would offset the higher spending with $85 billion in savings over a decade from higher fees and relatively modest curtailments on government benefit programs. Nearly a third of the total savings would come almost a decade from now, in 2022 and 2023, partly from extending a current two percent cut in payments to Medicare providers.
WASHINGTON (AP) Citing a potential threat to public health, the Food and Drug Administration is taking steps toward phasing out the use of some antibiotics in animals processed for meat. Many cattle, hog and poultry producers give their animals antibiotics regularly to ensure that they are healthy and to make the animals grow faster. Now, the agency has announced that it will ask pharmaceutical companies to voluntarily stop labeling drugs important for treating human infection as acceptable for that growth promotion in animals. If the drug companies sign on and two major companies have already signaled they will using those antibiotics to promote growth in animals would be illegal. Prescriptions would be required to use the drugs for animal illnesses. The FDA has been debating how to address the issue of antibiotics in meat for several years as antibiotic-resistant diseases have risen and consumers increasingly have clamored for antibiotic-free meat. McDonalds, among other companies, has moved to limit the drugs in their meat, pushing many animal producers to go along. The restaurant chain Chipotle also has tried to use meat raised without antibiotics, but has cited challenges in finding enough of it. FDA officials said the move is designed to limit antibiotic-resistant diseases in humans as antibiotic resistance has become a growing public health problem. Repeated exposure to antibiotics can lead germs to become resistant to the drug so that it is no longer effective in treating a particular illness. In September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released sobering estimates that more than 23,000 people a year are dying from drug-resistant infections. The biggest risk is from germs spread in hospitals, and its not clear how much of the problem is related to the use of drugs in meat. Still, the FDA says this is one step toward decreasing resistance. We need to be selective about the drugs we use in animals and when we use them, said William Flynn of FDAs Center for Veterinary Medicine. Antimicrobial resistance may not be completely preventable, but we need to do what we can to slow it down. The new guidance will give the companies three years to comply.
JOHANNESBURG As one world leader after another paid homage to Nelson Mandela at a memorial service, the man standing at arms length from them appeared to interpret their words in sign language. But advocates for the deaf say he was a faker. The incident, which outraged deaf people and sign-language interpreters watching the service broadcast around the globe, raised questions of how the unidentified man managed to crash a supposedly secure event attended by scores of heads of state, including President Barack Obama. It also was another example of the problems plaguing Tuesdays memorial, including public transportation breakdowns that hindered mourners going to the soccer stadium and a faulty audio system that made the speeches inaudible for many. Police also failed to search the first wave of crowds who rushed into the stadium after the gates were opened just after dawn. The man, who stood about a yard (one meter) from Obama and other leaders, was moving his hands around, but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for, Bruno Druchen, national direc-
tor of the Deaf Federation of South Africa, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. When South African Deputy President Cyril Rampaphosa told the crowd that former South African President F.W. de Klerk was among the guests, the man at his side used a strange pushing motion unknown in sign language that did not identify de Klerk or say anything about his presence, said Ingrid Parkin, principal of the St. Vincent School for the Deaf in Johannesburg. The closest the mans gestures came to anything in sign language at that point might possibly be the words for running horse, friend or beyond, she said, but only by someone who signs terribly. The man also used virtually no facial expressions to convey the often-emotional speeches, an absolute must for sign-language interpreters, Parkin said. Collins Chabane, one of South Africas two presidency ministers, said the government is investigating alleged incorrect use of sign language at the National Memorial Service, but has not finished because it has been overwhelmed with organizing the public viewing of Mandelas body in Pretoria and his funeral Sunday in his hometown of Qunu. He did not identify the man, but said the government will report publicly on any information it may establish.

Thats created stress and uncertainty not only for the uninsured but also for other people who now have insurance but are seeking to avoid an interruption in coverage in January. Those who are trying to preserve their coverage include some of the more than 4 million people whose individual plans were canceled because they didnt measure up under the law as well as hundreds of thousands who are in federal and state programs for people with serious health problems, from cancer to heart disease to AIDS. Unless there is a proactive attempt to enroll these groups, you are likely to see a significant number of people whose coverage will lapse in January, said Dan Mendelson, CEO of Avalere Health, a market analysis firm following the rollout. That might not be a big deal, because they might not get sick, but some of them will.

As you review 2013 test results, its important to keep the following in mind. Confidence in test results increases with the number of years and the number of locations in which the hybrid was tested. Avoid selecting a hybrid based on data from a single test site, especially if the site was characterized by abnormal growing conditions (like drought stress and record high temperatures). Look for consistency in a hybrids performance across a range of environmental conditions. Differences in grain moisture percentages among hybrids at harvest can provide a basis for comparing hybrid maturity. Yield, percent stalk lodging, grain moisture and other comparisons should be made between hybrids of similar maturity to determine those best adapted to your farm. Results of the crop performance trials for previous years are also available
online at: ag.ohio-state.edu/~perf/archive. htm. A summary of Northwest Ohio shows that for the early maturity varieties there were 67 entries with an average yield of 246 bushels/acre (207 to 265), 17.3 percent moisture (15.8-19.1), final stand population of 36,600 (33,500 to 40,900) and an average test weight of 59.1 (54.9-61.3). For the full season varieties, the Northwest site had 96 entries with an average yield of 251 bushels/acre (217 to 273), 18.6 percent moisture (16.5-20.8), final stand population of 37,100 (32,600 to 41,100)and an average test weight of 58.8 (55.3-61.7).
