nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Yet another seat
will be vacant on City Council.
At-Large Councilman Kevin Osting
read his resignation at Mondays
meeting, citing PERS retirement
polices and regulations.
I was recently notified that I had
to be retired from public service by
Nov. 30 in order to be eligible for
future benefits within the system,
Ostings letter read. I am grateful
for having had the opportunity to
serve the citizens of the City of
Delphos for more than 14 years.
I have always prided myself on
asking the difficult questions and
representing the citizens of Delphos
to the best of my ability. I offer
my best wishes to the current City
Council and administration in their
continuing efforts to make Delphos
a great pace to live and do busi-
ness.
Osting last ran on a Republican
ticket. The Allen County Republican
Party will need to appoint Ostings
replacement no sooner than four
days and no longer thatn 45 days
after his last day. After the 45 days, if
no one is appointed, council can then
appoint someone.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier was
asked if anyone had responded to
notices in the newspaper and on the
radio for the vacant council president
seat. Gallmeier said he had not had
any contact about the position. The
deadline to express interest for the
seat is Friday.
The new city maintenance super-
visor was introduced to council. Eric
Furry started Monday and is training
under current but retiring supervisor
Jeff Rostorfer.
Furry, 46, is a Toledo native and
has served in collections for the City
of Toledo and recently held employ-
ment locally with AWC Trucking.

SPENCERVILLE - During the village council meeting
Monday night, Spencerville Police Chief Darin Cook reported
that there have been three car break-ins in the past six days
within the village and warned residents to not leave valuables
in their vehicles.
We have fingerprints at the I.D. Bureau, he said. The
break-ins are contained to one area.
Cook said he will be working in conjunction with the
Sheriffs Department and Ohio State Highway Patrol on
school bus safety by shadowing bus drivers at bus stops.
We want to make sure people are obeying school bus laws
and bus drivers are using lights correctly at the stops, Cook
explained. All shifts will be covered.

COLUMBUS
Unemployment in coun-
ties across the state dropped
in September, according to
civilian labor force estimates
released Tuesday by the
Ohio Department of Job and
Family Services.
Locally, the jobless rate hit
an 8-year low in Van Wert
County, falling to 4.3 percent
in September. The decrease
was common throughout Ohio
as 79 of Ohios 88 counties
saw rates fall. Allen Countys
rate dropped to 5.0 percent,
Putnam County saw its rate
fall to 3.9 percent. In Paulding
County, the figure fell two-
tenths of a percent to 4.2 per-
cent.
Even the county with the
states lowest unemployment
rate saw a drop. The rate
in Mercer County fell from
3.0 percent to 2.9 percent.
The rate in Auglaize County
remained steady at 3.5 per-
cent, the third-lowest rate in
Ohio.

Electrical aggregation could
save residents $200 per year
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
FORT JENNINGS - Aspen Energy Representative Marc
Hollinger met with council members and residents to discuss
residential electric aggregation and establishing a program for the
village during the Tuesday night village council meeting.
Hollinger said this is an opportunity for aggregation to go to the
ballot for the Nov. 4 election and it would be beneficial if it would
pass. Residents could save $200-$225 per year and keep that money
in the community.
With aggregation, were looking at 7.2 cents per kilowatt hour,
Hollinger said. Without it, its 8 cents or more per kilowatt hour.
He said if aggregation passes, the village will host two public
hearings, council will sign an agreement, the supplier will take care
of the documents and the village will be locked in for three years.
The only event that could raise prices would be a regulatory event
or an additional tax placed on the utility by the government. All
meters (residents) will receive have an option to opt out with no
early-termination fees.
The provider is Integrys Energy Services, Inc. and everyone
will receive all the contact information to call with questions,
Hollinger said. From a service standpoint, all costs come on one
bill.

Money issues monopolize Elida Board of Ed. meeting
BY STEVE COBURN-GRIFFIS
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
ELIDA Money. That was the
common thread of conversation, verbal
and nonverbal, at Tuesday nights meet-
ing of the Elida Board of Education.
In an informative pre-meeting
question and answer session, mem-
bers of the public listened to the
boards rationale behind a new
request for funding that will appear
on the Nov. 4 ballot. The 5-year,
5.9-mil levy a funding vehicle that
amounts to $17 per month for every
$100,000 valuation on a residence
is intended to provide $2 million per
year for the duration of the levy.
In supporting the need for the levy,
Joel Parker, treasurer for the Elida
School District, often cited statistics
from an article about Lima and sur-
rounding communities in the iconic
magazine, Rolling Stone.
A couple items in that Rolling
Stone article that I think a lot of
people have been talking about, a
couple items are very true there, he
said. They talked about $1.8 billion
cuts to public education. Thats the
political reality that we live in. Thats
the type of uncertainty we have to
deal with on a daily basis.
Parker went on to detail additional
funding losses, including over $1 mil-
lion in reduced inventory taxes and
$600,000 in state aid.

Study finds drugs still
in recalled supplements
CHICAGO (AP) Dietary supplements
containing potentially dangerous prescription
drug ingredients may still be for sale even
years after safety recalls, a study found.
In supplements bought online, researchers
detected hidden steroids, similar ingredients
to Viagra and Prozac and a weight loss drug
linked with heart attacks.
They tested 27 products promising big
muscles, sexual prowess, weight loss and
more. Of those, 18 contained ingredients not
approved for over-the-counter use; 17 still had
the same drug that prompted the recalls.
Manufacturers are putting profit ahead of
consumer health, but lax oversight by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration is contributing to
the problem, said lead author Dr. Pieter Cohen,
an internist and researcher at Cambridge Health
Alliance, a Boston-area health care system.
The tested supplements were recalled by
manufacturers after FDA raised concerns about
drugs in their products. This type of recall
is usually voluntary, involving products that
could potentially cause serious health prob-
lems and even death. The FDAs role includes
assessing whether recalls successfully remove
potentially unsafe products from the market.
There should be significant legal and
financial consequences for manufacturers
who the FDA finds to be continuing to sell
these spiked supplements, Cohen said.
Unlike prescription drugs, dietary supple-
ments dont need FDA approval before they
are marketed. Still, their labels must list all
ingredients and manufacturers are not allowed
to sell products that are adulterated or mis-
branded, the agencys website say
The study was published in todays Journal of
the American Medical Association. The authors
say laws that increase FDAs enforcement powers
may be needed to fix the problem.
In response to the study, the FDA said
it has issued hundreds of consumer alerts
warning about tainted products, sent warning
letters to supplement makers and pursued
civil and criminal enforcement against those
illegally marketed products. Deterring manu-
facturers is sometimes challenging because
they are often difficult to locate and some are
overseas, the agency said.
The researchers bought 27 of the 274
supplements recalled from 2009 to 2012.
The products were purchased in summer
2013 from manufacturers websites or other
online retailers. An Oregon research labora-
tory tested them. Whether any consumers
were harmed by using the tainted supplements
was beyond the studys scope.

West Ohio Food Bank
acquires new box truck
LIMA Thanks to our partners, PotashCorps donation
of $85,000 and the United Way of Hancock Countys grant of
$22,500, the West Ohio Food Bank has been able to acquire
a much needed 24-foot refrigerated box truck. This truck
can hold up to 10 pallets of frozen and perishable food and
replaces a 20-year-old vehicle. According to CEO Gary Bright,
Operating and maintaining a safe fleet of trucks is an absolute
necessity for us.
The United Way of Hancock Countys matching grant
included donations from: the Dominion Foundation, the Bob
and Phyllis Boyer Fund, an anonymous $10,000 donation, as
well as many others whose smaller donations proved to be
significant for the food bank to exceed the goal for this truck.
Some of the excess funds from this truck funding drive are
being held in reserve as seed money for the purchase of the
next truck replacement, which is needed as soon as possible.
Anyone interested in donating toward the truck fund, please
contact us at 419-222-7946 or through the DONATE tab at
wofb.org.
Donations like this are critical to our ability to continue
delivering eight meals to our community for every donated
dollar. This efficiency is possible largely because half of those
six million meals are rescued food from food donors and
retail partners across our 11-county service area. It is important
to note that our distribution of six million meals is only filling
about half of the areas food insecurity need of over 12 million
meals, according to Feeding Americas Map the Meal Gap
study. We are constantly looking for new food rescue partners
and financial donors to help us with our mission of ending
hunger together. With increased financial resources, we could
do so much more to close the gap. Please contact us to find out
how you can help, stated Gary Bright, CEO.
Sincere thanks to PotashCorp and United Way of Hancock
County as well as our many other partners for their generosity
and investment in their community. WOFB is deeply grateful
for their support.
Agency to get $300,000
for Ebola protection
COLUMBUS (AP) The
Ohio Department of Health
won approval Monday to buy
thousands of additional pro-
tective outfits to prepare for
the possibility of the states
first Ebola case.
The agency, acting because
a Dallas nurse tested posi-
tive for the virus after flying
from Texas to Cleveland, also
received permission to con-
tract with a biohazard com-
pany for cleanup and decon-
tamination.
Treatment of a single
patient for one day would
require 240 sets of protective
equipment over 24 hours
such as gowns, boot covers,
goggles and respirators said
Lynne Bratka, interim chief
of the departments Bureau
of Health Preparedness. That
assumes 10 health care work-
ers changing their equipment
eight times during a shift,
times three shifts, she said.
The $300,000 in state and
federal funds approved by a
legislative spending commit-
tee allows the state to step in
if a hospital has difficulty
receiving their supplies in a
timely fashion, Bratka said.
The contract, with Cardinal
Health in Dublin in suburban
Columbus, allows the state to
boost its current supplies six
times over.
Fewer young
Ohioans getting
drivers license
COLUMBUS (AP)
Fewer young people in Ohio
are getting their drivers
license, according to state data
and new research.
The number of licensed
drivers in Ohio ages 16 to 20 is
8.5 percent lower than 10 years
ago, The Columbus Dispatch
reports. During that same span,
the number of licensed drivers
statewide increased by about
2.2 percent.
Additionally, the num-
ber of driving trips taken by
people ages 16 to 34 have
decreased by 15 percent per
capita, according to a new
report by the Ohio Public
Interest Research Group.
Delays in major life events
like getting married or enter-
ing the workforce may be fac-
tors for young people wait-
ing to get behind the wheel,
according to the report.

art instruction, they will build memories of one of their com-
munitys greatest assets, the Wassenberg Art Center.
The cost is $35 per month or $30 per month for art center
members.
The art center is now the home of Faces of Little Bighorn,
the collection of former Van Wert artist, author and historian,
the late David Humphreys Miller, who has established addi-
tional theories on that pivotal American battle.
About the instructors: We employ professional art educators and
skilled instructors. Most supplies will be provided. All holidays and
cancellations will follow Van Wert City School schedules.
Wassenberg Art Centers gallery hours are 1-5 p.m. Tuesday
Sunday. Wassenberg is located 214 S. Washington St., Van Wert.
The Wassenberg Art Center is a not-for-profit community
art center which provides 1012 free exhibits, events and art
programming throughout the year. To learn more about the
Wassenberg Art Center visit wassenbergartcenter.org.

BY LOVINA EICHER
Another week has already gone
by, which makes it time to get this
column written. The weeks just fly
by. I write my columns in one-subject
notebooks which have amounted to
quite a few in the years of penning
this column. This month 12 years ago
is when I wrote my first column. I
think that was the hardest column for
me to write.
Joseph, 12, was my baby at that
time. Elizabeth, 20, was eight and
in second grade. Susan, 18, was in
kindergarten and 6 years old. Verena
was 4, Benjamin, 3, Loretta, 2. I
remember how hard it was to write
the column and keep an eye on the
four preschoolers.
Life still seems busy now but I
guess just in different ways. The chil-
dren get older and each has different
plans for the weekend sometimes.
Last Saturday, Joseph spent the night
at a friends house in honor of his
birthday.
Susan had Moses sisters two
little boys here for part of the day
Saturday. Loren is 4 and Jayden, 2.
Susan gave them pony rides and kept
them entertained. Of course Lovina,
10, and Kevin, 9, were glad to help
keep them entertained.
Elizabeths puppy Izzy was the
only one not happy to have them here.
She is not used to little children and
the boys played too rough for her, so
she stayed close by one of the girls.
My husband Joe started the coal
stove Saturday, so the house is cozy
again. Our coal was delivered for the
winter. Joe hooked a [metal] jacket
up around the coal stove in the base-
ment to help get more heat up here
if we need it. It has a door on the
jacket we can open on days we dry
laundry in the basement, to keep
more heat down there. Verena and I
plan to clean the basement today as
dust seems to accumulate and things
get misplaced. So its high time for
another cleaning.
Saturday we had a killing frost in
most places so the gardens are history
for 2014.
We have two more wedding invi-
tations on our refrigerator. Rosanne
and Solomon will exchange vows on
Nov. 7 and their wedding will be in
Decatur, Ind. Then on Nov. 20, Edwin
and Rosa Mae will exchange their
vows in Rochester, Ind. We hope to
attend both weddings. Both grooms
are Joes cousin Leanders sons. Joe
and Leander had lots of good times
growing up together. We wish both
couples Gods blessings on their mar-
riage and many happy, healthy years
together.
This week I will share an omelet
recipe I made for our breakfast on
Saturday. I hope you will all like it as
much as we did.
Meat and Cheese Omelet Roll
4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 eggs
1 1/2 cups meat (chopped bacon,
sausage, ham, smokies, etc.)
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
1/4 cup onions
1/4 cup green peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons mustard
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In
a bowl, combine cream cheese and
milk. Whisk until smooth, then add
flour and salt. In another bowl, beat
eggs and then add cream cheese mix-
ture. Cut wax or parchment paper to
fit jelly roll pan. Pour into jelly roll
pan. Bake 30-35 minutes or until
puffy and golden. While that is bak-
ing, chop meat, vegetables and shred
the cheese. When omelet is done,
remove from oven and spread with
mustard, then layer meat, onions,
pepper and cheese. Roll into jelly roll
fashion, removing the paper from the
omelet as you roll. Serve with salsa or
cheese sauce.

Logano: No worries about
retaliation from Patrick
By JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Joey Logano
said hes made peace with Danica
Patrick and isnt worried shell inten-
tionally wreck him to ruin his champi-
onship chances.
Logano spun Patrick during the Oct.
11 race at Charlotte and she was given
permission over her team radio to retali-
ate. She later remarked that wrecking
Logano would have no effect on his title
chances because hed already earned a
spot in the third round of the Chase for
the Sprint Cup Championship.
Logano said Tuesday he took respon-
sibility for the accident in a conversa-
tion with Patrick. Logano, winner of
one race in each of the first two rounds
of the Chase, said the Charlotte accident
was his fault.
I think we came to a good conclu-
sion of what happened thats in the
past, thats in the mirror and well move
forward, he told reporters during an
appearance at the NASCAR Hall of
Fame. It was a racing deal.
It was one of those points that we
were both being very aggressive. She
was going to, obviously, try to take the
spot and come down across me and I
probably should have gave at that point
and I didnt. I told her, really in all hon-
esty, I probably should have backed out
in that situation.
The Chase field has now been reset and
Logano heads into Martinsville Speedway
this weekend as one of eight drivers trying
to advance into the finale. A win in any
of the next three rounds sends a driver to
the Nov. 16 finale with a shot at the title
and no driver wants to worry about being
wrecked by a non-contender.
Martinsville, a tight .526-mile paper-
clip, is the perfect track for drivers to
settle scores because the cars are on top
of each other the entire race gouging
for position. Contact levels are high and
tempers are short.
Travis Geisler, competi-
tion director for Team Penske,
said there was little the orga-
nization could do to smooth
things over between Logano,
Patrick and her Stewart-Haas
Racing team.
Its between the people
behind the wheel and what-
ever mood theyre in at the
moment, Geisler added. We
try to do the best we can to
maybe advise in that depart-
ment on whats the right path.
Thats where the quarterbacks make the
call. They do their thing.
Newman dodges penalty for
Talladega inspection: NASCAR
decided Tuesday not to penalize Ryan
Newman after his car failed inspection
following the race at Talladega.
The Richard Childress Racing
Chevrolet was found to be too low in
the rear on both sides of the car after
Sundays race. NASCAR brought it
back to North Carolina for a further
inspection and concluded that damage
during the race was to blame.
I was happy with the fact NASCAR
took the time to take the car back to the
tech center and analyze everything,
Newman said during an appearance at
the NASCAR Hall of Fame. In the end,
they saw that the damage from being hit
from behind was enough to knock the
back of the car enough down to take it
out of its (clearance) window.
Newman said his car was damaged
on the final restart of the race when he
was hit by Matt Kenseth as the drivers
furiously charged for position.
Had NASCAR decided to penal-
ize Newman, he likely would
have been docked 15 points
in the standings. Newman
had already moved on to
the third round of the Chase
and had a 27-point lead over
the first driver eliminated at
Talladega.
I didnt know if there
was going to be a penalty, I
didnt know what that penalty
was going to be, Newman
added. I was confident it
wasnt going to be more than
27 points because that would be the big-
gest penalty for that type of thing, ever,
that I could imagine. In the end, you
never know, and I was happy they did
their due diligence.
Newman goes into Martinsville this
weekend as one of the surprises of the
final eight drivers. He joins Logano,
Brad Keselowski, Jeff Gordon, Carl
Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin
and Kenseth in this 3-race segment of
the Chase.
The top four drivers after the Nov.
9 race at Phoenix will advance to the
season finale at Homestead, where the
champion will be the highest finish-
ing driver. A win in any of the next
three races at Martinsville, Texas and
Phoenix automatically advances the
driver to the finale.
For a young Mexican star, seeing helps him believe
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
The road to the PGA Tour out of Mexico was never going
to be easy for Carlos Ortiz, even if it was paved with a mea-
sure of privilege.
Only five Mexican-born players had ever made it to the
PGA Tour. Two of them won tournaments a generation before
he was born, the most recent title by Victor Delgado in 1978
at the Ed McMahon-Jaycees Quad City Open.
Mexicos golfing icon was a woman, Lorena Ochoa,
who grew up at his home club in Guadalajara.
The male players Ortiz idolized Adam Scott,
Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods he had seen only on
TV or in magazines.
So imagine how he felt the day he made his PGA
Tour debut.
Ortiz had already won twice on the Web.com
Tour last spring when he received an invitation to
play in the Memorial. He walked into the clubhouse
at Muirfield Village, recognizing players he knew
only by name. His awe turned into anxiety when he
saw his idol, tournament host Jack Nicklaus.
Oh my god, it was pretty exciting, Ortiz said. When you
see them in real life its different. And first thing when I got
in the clubhouse, I saw Jack Nicklaus right there. I got scared.
They told me to go shake his hand but I got scared so I went
upstairs to my locker because I didnt know what to do.
But then I came back and said, Thank you for having me,
for the invitation. And he was really nice.
Ortiz rallied with a 68 in the second round to make the cut
at the Memorial, then he returned to the Web.com Tour to fin-
ish a remarkable year. He picked up his third victory late in
the season for an instant promotion to the big leagues and was
voted Web.com Tour player of the year.
The 23-year-old is paving his own way now with high
hopes. He has made the cut in both his starts in his rookie
season, closing with a 65 to tie for 18th in Las Vegas. He is
headed to Malaysia next week before gearing up for the OHL
Classic at Mayakoba. It will be the eighth year for Mexico to
host a PGA Tour event and the first time it had a local player
with so much promise.
Just dont get the idea Ortiz was ever on the fast track to
stardom.
Ochoa has been around him for the better part of a decade,
though he didnt immediately stand out. Ochoa would come
home from college at Arizona and practice with the juniors
at Guadalajara Country Club and she recalls a little boy who
loved his golf.
He was there every afternoon, Ochoa recalled in a tele-
phone interview from Mexico City. I used to see the little
kids running around and practicing and playing. He was just
a little one, a happy guy. Every time I came home, I see him
growing. He was very skinny, very tall. And he was hitting the
ball very hard.
Ortiz made a few trips to America for junior events, though
he never played well enough to get anyones attention.
Brad Stacke, the golf coach at North Texas,
managed to find him with a little help and some
intuition.
Stacke had a player from Mexico named Kenji
Maruyama who had played on his junior college
team in Iowa and the coach told him to keep an eye
out for any promising young players from south of
the border.
He called me three weeks later and said, Ive
got a player for you. Hes really good, Stacke
recalled. I said, Why dont you go play with him?
So he went and played with Carlos and he said,
Hes really good. I said, What did he shoot? He
said, Hes really good.
Once the coach finally got a number out of him, he paused.
Ortiz had shot 81. But it was enough of an endorsement for
Stacke to remember the name, especially a few weeks later
when Ortiz had rounds of 63-65-67 to set a 54-hole scoring
record in a Mexican junior tournament he won.
Ortiz headed to Denton, Texas, for four years he wouldnt
trade. He won three times as a sophomore. He qualified for the
U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills. He earned a degree in interna-
tional studies. And he started to believe he was good enough
to achieve everything he had dreamed.
He was hard to ignore last year on the Web.com Tour. He
picked up his first win in Panama with a 66-64 weekend.
Playing a month later before a home crowd in Mexico, he
recovered from an opening 74 with rounds of 67-66-68. Ortiz
nearly lost a 3-shot lead until he birdied the last hole to beat
Justin Thomas.
Could he be the male version of Ochoa? That might be ask-
ing too much of anyone.
Ortiz looked up to Ochoa as the best player in her sport and
the best person in golf. Ochoa was renowned for her humility
and her charity even as she rose to No. 1 in the world. And
there is the pressure of playing for a country with a limited
golfing heritage.
Ochoa still keeps in touch with that little kid, the happy
guy she saw running around the golf club.

Beavers double up Yellow

Jackets in womens soccer
DEFIANCE Despite
trailing early, the
Bluffton womens
soccer team used
a hat trick by
sophomore Terrill
Webb (Kenton) to defeat
their archrival Defiance
College Yellow Jackets 4-2
on Tuesday.
The win was Blufftons
first in Heartland Collegiate
Athletic Conference play,
improving to 1-4-1 (4-10-1
overall), while the Yellow
Jackets fell to 0-5-1 in the
HCAC, 2-13-1 overall. It was
also Blufftons first victory
over Defiance since 2011,
when they won with a 1-0
shutout.
The Yellow Jackets began
the scoring in just the fifth
minute of action as Erica Islas
found Kassie Memmer, who
buried one in the back of the
net to give the home team
a 1-0 lead. Webb respond-
ed with a goal in the 18th
minute with an assist from
Danielle McQuillin (Delta/
Pike-Delta-York) and Jo
Bondra (Highland Heights/
Mayfield), knotting the score
at 1-1. Brittany Huffs (Union/
Northmont) corner kick
curled into the net with 14
minutes to play in the open-
ing stanza, giving Bluffton a
2-1 halftime advantage.
The Jackets would respond
early in the second half, when
Memmer returned the favor
by assisting on a goal by
Islas to tie Bluffton at 2-2.
Webb then put the nail in the
coffin with goals in the 76th
and 83rd minutes, courtesy
of assists from Brittany Huff
and Jessica Williams (Genoa/
Genoa Area) to hand the
Beavers the 4-2 victory.
Webbs three goals gives
her a total of eight on the sea-
son, placing her just outside
of the top ten on the all-time
Beaver goal-scoring list with
three matches left to play.
The all-time record is 16, set
by Tara Young in 1998. It
was Blufftons first hat trick
since Kristen Tropf (Findlay/
Van Buren) accomplished the
feat in a 5-0 shutout against
Anderson a year ago.
The visitors were able to
outshoot the Yellow Jackets
12-6, as well as having a
4-1 edge in corner kicks.
Webb also led the
Beavers with seven
shots in the con-
test, all of them
being on frame.
The Bluffton women
return to action at home this
Saturday as they take on
the Transylvania University
Pioneers in a 1 p.m. start.
The match will be played
at Bluffton High Schools
Steinmetz Field as both soc-
cer teams, the football team
and the volleyball team are all
at home this Saturday.
The Yellow Jackets have
three matches left. Their next
match is on Saturday when they
face Mount St. Joseph at home.
Start time is set for 1 p.m.

BOWLING
Minnesota, newcomer
Maryland B10s surprise teams
Associated Press
Minnesota is 3-0 in Big Ten play for the first time since
1990. Big Ten newcomer Maryland has won two of three
conference games and is within striking distance of
Michigan State and Ohio State in the East.
Not bad for a couple teams picked to finish fifth
in their divisions.
The West Division-leading Gophers are on track
to finish with a record better than the previous
season for the fourth straight year under Jerry Kill. At 6-1,
theyre off to their best start since Tim Brewsters 2008 team
won seven of its first eight. A victory at Illinois this week
would make Minnesota 4-0 in the Big Ten for the first time
since 1967.
Kill said last weeks 39-38 win over Purdue revealed some
pluck that the Gophers hadnt shown before. They won for the
first time in 23 games after trailing at halftime. Kill said he
issued a challenge in the locker room when they were down
31-20.
Youve got to go out and prove that were a good football
team and the only way to do that is come back. So they did,
Kill said Tuesday. They showed some character and didnt
panic, and showed some maturity, which we havent had. It
was a huge win for a lot of reasons but certainly being able
to come back is something we havent done a whole lot of.
Theres nothing fancy about Minnesota, whose only loss
was at the Big 12s TCU. The durable David Cobb, whos
fourth in the nation with 144.7 yards a game, has had 30 or
more carries in four straight games. Quarterback Max Leidner
is a serviceable passer and capable runner.
The Gophers defense is middle-of-the-pack in the Big Ten
statistically but has limited big plays.
Definitely has Jerrys personality all over it, Northwestern
coach Pat Fitzgerald said. Theyre physical on both sides of
the line of scrimmage. They know who they are as far as what
theyre trying to accomplish in all three phases.
The Gophers toughest games are in November. They play
Iowa and Ohio State at home and finish on the road against
Nebraska and Wisconsin.
Maryland, which finished no higher than fifth in its divi-
sion in its last three years in the Atlantic Coast Conference,
has been one of the Big Tens surprise teams despite a run of
injuries.
The Terrapins lost 52-24 to Ohio State three weeks ago
their other loss was to the Big 12s West Virginia and
should stay in the East race until the end if they can win at
Wisconsin this week.
Obviously, theyve fit in very well in the Big Ten and
they came from a quality conference, Wisconsin coach
Gary Andersen said. Theyre a great addition, which we all
believed.
The Terps are averaging 35 points a game with a versatile
offense led by double-threat quarterback C.J. Brown
and two of the Big Tens best receivers in Stefon
Diggs and Deon Long. The offenses production has
covered for a defense that has given up 39 plays of
20 yards or longer.
Maryland is coming off its most satisfying Big
Ten win, rallying from 14 points down in the fourth quarter
to beat Iowa 38-31. Brown ran 21 times for 99 yards despite
missing a quarter with a back injury.
I knew there were outstanding coaches in this league, out-
standing players, and thats come to bear out as weve played,
Terps coach Randy Edsall said. You take a look at what these
people do and try to make them do something different. But
what you have to do is focus on what you do and try to get
better. So far were 5-2 and well see where we go from here.
Penn St. has pressure of No. 13 Ohio St., beyond
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Penn State coach James Franklin says one of the big-
gest challenges he faces in his job is meeting high expectations of a huge fan base.
Even larger, perhaps, than meeting No. 13 Ohio State on Saturday night.
Franklin understands that patience is minimal, even though reduced scholarships
in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal have led to inconsistency in the
teams offense and other areas.
Everybody talked about these things before the season started but once the
season starts, its: Lets find a way to get it done, he said Tuesday. Theres an
expectation, theres a culture of winning here. Its been here for a long time and we
embrace that. Its one of the reasons why we want to be here and why were so excited
about coming to Penn State.
Penn State faces many challenges on the field on Saturday. Ohio State (5-1, 2-0
Big Ten) has won 18 straight conference games and set a school record by scoring
50 points or more in its last four games. Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer has not lost an
October game since 2010.
Franklin doesnt mind asking for help from those same fans who have high hopes.
We would love to have a huge home-field advantage of 107,000 Penn State fans
wearing white, screaming and going crazy, making it really difficult for them to com-
municate, he said. Our defense is really looking forward to that advantage.
The Nittany Lions (4-2, 1-2) are coming off their second off week in a 3-week span.
Franklin said the workload during that time was minimized.
That goes back to learning from our experiences and effects of what were deal-
ing with and that were as fresh and healthy as we can be, he said. The second half
of the Michigan game (an 18-13 defeat), we ran out of gas in key positions and key
spots.
Franklin said the Lions wont shy away from the running game, adding he might
have abandoned that aspect of the offense too early against Michigan.
Its not like youre going to come in and wave a magic wand or flip a switch, he
said. Were going to stick to the plan and keep working really hard.
That plan comes with ample self-analysis: Im that way with every aspect of
my life. When it comes to football my job things that I can do better, I wake
up in middle of the night. I kind of have a reputation of texting coaches, or texting
administrators.
Franklin said he doesnt expect people to respond at 3 a.m. but he likes putting
issues up for discussion.
By striving for perfection you have a chance to reach excellence and thats what
were trying to do in every aspect, he said.

LeBron eyeing his third title, first for Cavaliers
By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND Four years away
from home changed LeBron James. He
came back more mature, more focused,
more complete in a class by himself
as a player.
More significantly, playing with
Dwyane Wade in Miami taught him how
to be a champion and James won two
titles while making four straight trips to
the finals with the Heat.
Now that hes returned to his Ohio
roots, he wants No. 3, the title that
would top them all.
Cleveland hasnt experienced the
glory of winning a pro sports champi-
onship since 1964, when the Browns
finished atop the NFL. The champagne
has always sprayed elsewhere.
In the prime of his career, James now
knows what it takes to win it all. Hes
fully aware that any path to a title is
strewn with potential roadblocks such as
injuries and chemistry issues. Nothing
is certain and nothing will
come easy to the Cavs.
There will be growing
pains, perhaps roster chang-
es. It may take a year or two.
Still, James is poised
to deliver that long-sought
championship to Cleveland. Its his
chance to make good on the promise he
made before leaving in 2010, when his
departure broke hearts and drained hope
from an entire region.
Hes got a much better supporting
cast this time around. Hell team with
All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love
the leagues newest Big 3 and
maybe a trio more devastating than pre-
vious incarnations in Boston and Miami.
James had preached patience in the
heartfelt Sports Illustrated essay which ush-
ered in his return in July. That was before
Love was on board and before
the Cavs with James urg-
ing signed Shawn Marion,
Mike Miller and James Jones,
all players with championship
pedigree to help him to get the
job done.
A championship here would be more
meaningful.
For multiple reasons but I dont
want to get too ahead of myself, James
said recently, trying to tone down roar-
ing expectations. I dont want to talk
about it too much because then it could
be used as a sound bite. So Im not even
going to get involved in that right now.

AP sources: Rices appeal
hearing set for Nov. 5-6
Associated Press
A hearing on Ray Rices appeal of his
indefinite suspension will be held Nov. 5
and 6, two people familiar with the situ-
ation said Tuesday.
The people spoke with The
Associated Press on condition
of anonymity because details
of the hearing have not been
made public.
Rice was suspended indef-
initely Sept. 8 for violating
the NFLs personal conduct
policy after a video of Rice
hitting his then-fiancee in an
elevator was released public-
ly. NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell originally had sus-
pended Rice for two games.
Once the video became
public, the Baltimore Ravens cut the
star running back and the league banned
him indefinitely. The league considered
the video to be new evidence, giving
Goodell the authority to further suspend
Rice.
The players union is appealing
Rices suspension, saying Rice should
not be punished twice.
A neutral arbiter is expected to decide
whether Goodell should testify. The
arbiter had not yet made that decision
as of Tuesday afternoon, the sources
who informed the AP of the hearing told
reporters.
The arbiter, former U.S. District
Judge Barbara S. Jones, was jointly
picked by the commissioner and the
players union. Union officials said
when the appeal was announced that
Goodell and his staffs testimony are
key to the appeal and a central reason to
have an outside arbiter.
NFL creates Sportsmanship Award
for players
NEW YORK The NFL has cre-
ated a Sportsmanship Award that will be
voted on by the players and presented to
the winner on the eve of the Super Bowl.
The award will be part of the NFL
Honors show in which The Associated
Press presents its major league awards,
including MVP and Coach of the Year.
A player who best demonstrates
the qualities of on-field sportsmanship,
including fair play, respect for the game
and opponents, and integrity in com-
petition will earn the award, the NFL
announced Tuesday.
Each team will nominate one player.
A panel of former players will select
eight finalists, four from each conference,
from the 32 nominees. Those finalists
will be listed on the Pro Bowl ballot
under the NFL Sportsmanship Award
when the players vote on Dec. 19.
From the eight finalists, each teams
players will submit a consensus vote
of its choice for the winner. As in Pro
Bowl voting, a team cannot vote for its
own player.
The panel of former players will
be comprised of Pro Football Hall-of-
Famer Curtis Martin, Warrick Dunn,
Karl Mecklenburg and Leonard Wheeler.
The winner will be announced dur-
ing the nationally-televised NFL Honors
show on Jan. 31 on NBC and will
receive a $25,000 donation to a charity
of his choice.
In addition to the MVP and Coach of
the Year awards, the AP presents during
NFL Honors its awards for Comeback
Player of the Year; Offensive and
Defensive Player of the Year; Offensive
and Defensive Rookie of the Year; and,
for the first time this season, Assistant
Coach of the Year.
Titans trade LB Akeem Ayers to
Patriots
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Tennessee
has traded linebacker Akeem Ayers to
the New England Patriots in what coach
Ken Whisenhunt says gives the line-
backer a fresh start.
The Titans traded Ayers and their
seventh-round draft in 2015 to the
Patriots and will receive New Englands
sixth round draft pick pending a physi-
cal, according to multiple reports.
Ayers had been scratched five of
seven games this season in Tennessee
where the Titans switched to a 3-4
scheme under coordinator Ray Horton.
But he had surgery to repair the
patella tendons in both knees this offsea-
son. With the Titans bringing in veterans
Wesley Woodyard and Shaun Phillips
along with the scheme change, the 6-3
Ayers fell down the depth chart.
The Titans also signed running back
Antonio Andrews from their practice
squad to keep the rookie around.
Jordan rejoins Dolphins after sit-
ting out 6 games
DAVIE, Fla. Defensive end Dion
Jordan rejoins the Miami Dolphins rest-
ed, recharged and ready to
start his season after a forced
layoff.
The 2013 first-round
draft pick sat out the first six
games without pay for twice
violating the NFLs substance
abuse policy. With his suspen-
sion lifted, Jordan returned to
practice Tuesday and might
be activated for Sundays
game at Jacksonville.
Jordan was first suspend-
ed July 3 after testing posi-
tive for a prohibited stimulant.
As the Dolphins were notified Sept. 19
that his suspension was lifted, they were
advised of a second suspension and
Jordan underwent treatment.
Jordan, who was allowed to take part
in the exhibition season, said hes unsure
whether hell play this week.
Jordan provides additional depth on
a defense that is allowing only 4.7 yards
per play, best in the NFL. He might also
contribute on special teams, as he did
last year.
Bucs sign WR/KR Holiday, pro-
mote DE Fatinikun
TAMPA, Fla. The Tampa Bay
Buccaneers have signed receiver and
return man Trindon Holliday and pro-
moted defensive end T.J. Fatinikun from
the practice squad to the active roster.
To make room for the additions, the
team waived receiver Solomon Patton
and defensive end Scott Solomon.
The Bucs also announced linebacker
Mister Alexander and receiver Marcus
Thigpen were signed to the practice
squad. Linebacker Shayne Skov was
released from the practice squad.
The NFL has suspended defensive
end DaQuan Bowers for two games
without pay for violating the leagues
policy on performance-enhancing sub-
stances.
The fourth-year pro will join sus-
pended Buccaneers fullback Jorvorskie
Lane in sitting out Sundays home game
against Minnesota, as well as a Nov. 2
road game at Cleveland.
Jets sign Jeremy Kerley to 4-year
extension
NEW YORK Jeremy Kerley always
figured hed stay right where he is.
The New York Jets made sure the
reliable wide receiver didnt go any-
where, signing Kerley to a 4-year con-
tract extension on Tuesday.
Kerley, a fifth-round draft pick in
2011 out of TCU, was due to become an
unrestricted free agent after this season.
The team did not immediately dis-
close financial terms.
The move came three days after
the Jets completed a stunning deal to
acquire wide receiver Percy Harvin
from the Seattle Seahawks for a condi-
tional draft pick.
Bibbs stays with Broncos after Bills
come calling
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Running
back Kapri Bibbs big break is rather
bittersweet since his good buddy and
former Colorado State teammate was
released to make room.
The Denver Broncos rookie was pro-
moted from the practice squad to the
active roster after Buffalo tried to sign
him to bolster its injury-riddled backfield.
To clear space, though, Denver had to
cut linebacker Shaquil Barrett, who was
just added to the active roster last week.
If Barrett clears waivers, he could
take Bibbs spot on the practice squad.
Bibbs figured a call might come
from the Bills after the weekend they
had: Losing C.J. Spiller and co-starting
running back Fred Jackson in a win
over Minnesota. Jackson is expected
to miss four weeks with a groin injury
and Spiller was placed on the reserve
injured/designated to return list Tuesday,
a day after he had surgery to repair a col-
larbone injury.
Denver is already down a running
back with Montee Ball recovering from
a groin injury. Thats opened the door
for Ronnie Hillman, whos rushed for
174 yards and two touchdowns the past
two games.
The Bills restocked their banged-up
offensive backfield by signing Phillip
Tanner on Tuesday.
Cowboys release Michael Sam
from practice squad
IRVING, Texas The Dallas
Cowboys released Michael Sam from
the practice squad Tuesday, dropping
the rush end as they prepare for several
potential reinforcements to return to the
defensive line.
Sam spent seven weeks with the
Cowboys after joining their practice
squad Sept. 3, four days after he was
among the final cuts by the St. Louis
Rams at the end of the preseason. He
was never placed on the 53-man active
roster.
The Rams didnt keep Sam because
they had depth on the defensive front.
The same situation is developing for
the Cowboys. Dallas has rookie second-
round pick DeMarcus Lawrence close
to coming back after breaking his right
foot in training camp.
Veteran defensive end Anthony
Spencer gets stronger each week in his
return from microfracture knee surgery
that sidelined him all but one game last
season.
Defensive tackle Josh Brent, who
is serving a 10-game suspension for
his intoxication manslaughter convic-
tion in the 2012 death of teammate Jerry
Brown, returns to practice next week.
He will be eligible to play Nov. 23 at
the Giants.
The Cowboys added linebacker Troy
Davis of Central Florida and defensive
tackle Ken Bishop of Northern Illinois
to their practice squad.
Colts Wayne still waiting for
answers on injury
INDIANAPOLIS Colts receiver
Reggie Wayne says hes still waiting for
MRI results on his injured left elbow.
During his weekly radio show
Tuesday, Wayne told WNDE listeners
he would do everything in his power to
play Sunday at Pittsburgh.
Colts coach Chuck Pagano told
reporters Monday that Wayne was
having an MRI on his injured arm.
The Colts (5-2) were off Monday and
Tuesday after routing Cincinnati 27-0
for their fifth straight win.
Wayne says he was hurt during the
first quarter when he landed awkwardly,
noting that it didnt feel right. He
finished the game wearing a sleeve
on his arm and iced the elbow after-
ward. Wayne had four catches for 15
yards, becoming the ninth member of
the NFLs 14,000-yard club.
Redskins sign linebacker Brown,
place Orakpo on IR
ASHBURN, Va. The Washington
Redskins have signed linebacker
Everette Brown and placed linebacker
Brian Orakpo on injured reserve.
Brown was in training camp with the
Redskins this year but was cut at the end
of the preseason.
Brown has appeared in 38 NFL
games with three starts with the Carolina
Panthers, San Diego Chargers and
Dallas Cowboys. He played in seven
games with the Cowboys last season and
had one sack.
Three-time Pro Bowl player Orakpo
tore his right pectoral muscle in Sundays
win over Tennessee.
The Redskins made the moves
Tuesday after announcing Monday that
Orakpo was out for the season.
Sproles, Kendricks back to practice
PHILADELPHIA Back from a
bye, the Philadelphia Eagles added some
reinforcements.
Running back Darren Sproles and
linebacker Mychal Kendricks were
among the injured players who prac-
ticed on Tuesday, though their status is
uncertain for Sundays game at Arizona.
Sproles sprained the medial collateral
ligament in his left knee in a 27-0 win
over the New York Giants on Oct. 12.
Kendricks hasnt played since he injured
his calf in a win at Indianapolis in Week
2. Casey Matthews has started in his
place and Emmanuel Acho and rookie
first-round pick Marcus Smith also have
filled in for him.
Center Jason Kelce and third-string
running back Chris Polk also practiced.
All-Pro guard Evan Mathis is expected
to practice today. Mathis sprained a knee
ligament in Week 1. He isnt eligible to
play until Nov. 10 after being placed
on injured reserve with designation to
return.
Kelce had surgery for a sports hernia
on Sept. 23, so he probably needs a few
more weeks.
Polk missed the victory over the
Giants because of a hamstring injury.
Rice
Revocable trust may not
adequately protect assets
DEAR BRUCE: My hus-
band and I, as individuals,
created and placed all of our
assets in revocable living
trusts. Does that protect our
assets? Or do we still have to
spend all of our liquid assets
and transfer ownership of real
property to our heirs?
We both have long-term care
policies. But the daily allow-
ance from those policies will
not be enough to cover the
current daily charge at nurs-
ing homes today. We live in
Georgia where it would be
necessary to liquidate at
least five years before it may
be necessary to be placed in a
nursing home. -- C.R.
DEAR C.R.: The word
revocable means you can
yank your assets out at any
time. Whether that gives you
any solid protection against
assets being attached to cov-
er monies that Medicaid has
advanced is another question
-- one that will have to be
answered on a specific basis.
On balance, I dont think you
are particularly well covered, but
you do have the ability, because
it is a revocable trust, to change
to a will. It gives you more cov-
erage, meaning more protection
for your assets in case you have
used (at least in theory) all your
assets and then are covered by
Medicaid advances, which is
essentially what they are.
As to the five-year period,
I believe you are correct:
Five years in Georgia is the
look-back period. Whether or
not you wish to explore giv-
ing away your assets is quite
another matter. I very seldom
endorse that approach if a bet-
ter way is available.
Seek a competent attorney in
Georgia to help you with this
matter.
DEAR BRUCE: My hus-
band was recently hired by a
friend to drive his truck and
they split the commission. His
friend owns a legitimate busi-
ness, but there are no taxes
taken from my husbands
check for Uncle Sam. I tried
looking into how we would
go about paying taxes here in
Florida, because I would like
to do it monthly or weekly, so
there isnt a large bill when
its tax season. Please help.
-- Reader
DEAR READER: Your
husbands friend is apparently
not withholding any monies,
which means he is hiring your
husband as a private contrac-
tor, and he is also not con-
tributing anything to Social
Security, etc. You can do this
on a bi-weekly basis. This
means also paying your share
of the Social Security as the
employer and Florida unem-
ployment tax.
Simply put, if you make $100,
you will have to pay approxi-
mately 7 1/2 percent of your
money to Social Security as the
employed person, and then you
have to pay an additional 7 1/2
percent as the employer, for a total
of approximately 15 percent, plus
Florida unemployment tax. There
is no way to avoid that.
DEAR BRUCE: I have a
question about my mom gifting
to me and my brother. She is in
a nursing home, but has enough
money coming in to her check-
ing account from retirement
accounts and Social Security that
she pays for the nursing home
herself. Medicare only kicks in
when she is hospitalized and for
doctors appointments.
Someone told us that
Medicaid can go back five
years if her money is gone
and she has to have Medicaid
pay for her nursing home care.
Could you tell me if this is
correct? -- Reader
DEAR READER: You say
she is in a nursing home, but
has enough money coming
in that she pays for the nurs-
ing home herself. Medicare
only kicks in when she needs
hospitals and doctor appoint-
ments. The likelihood is that
she is fully covered.
That someone told us that
Medicaid can go back five
years if her money is gone is
essentially true, but Medicaid
is not Medicare, and Medicaid
doesnt start kicking in until
all your assets are exhausted.
Your mother is paying her
bills, so no Medicaid liabil-
ity is being built up. So far,
everything is under control.

Unemployment rates fall in 31 US states last month
WASHINGTON (AP) Unemployment rates fell in 31
U.S. states in September, including in many where incumbent
governors and senators face tough re-election campaigns. The
report is the final data on state unemployment before the Nov.
4 elections.
Tuesdays data may quickly find its way into late campaign
ads and stump speeches. The economy is the top concern for
voters in this years Congressional and gubernatorial races.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that unemployment
rates rose in eight states and were unchanged in 11 states. That
is the smallest number of states to see an increase since April.
Employers added jobs in 39 states and cut jobs in 10. South
Dakotas job count changed little. States can gain jobs but
may not see their unemployment rates fall if more people start
looking for work. People arent counted as unemployed unless
they are actively searching.
Colorado and Kentucky, two states with hard-fought Senate
campaigns, experienced the biggest declines in unemploy-
ment. Colorados rate fell to 4.7 percent from 5.1 percent, and
Kentuckys rate dropped to 6.7 percent from 7.1 percent.
Colorados Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is also locked
in a tight race against former GOP Rep. Bob Beauprez. His cam-
paign could benefit from Tuesdays report, which showed that
Colorado added 14,600 jobs in September, the third-highest gain
among the states. Texas added 36,400 jobs, the largest increase.
And Illinois Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, in a close re-
election race with Republican Bruce Rauner, will likely tout
the states gain last month of 19,300 jobs. That is the second-
highest among the states. Illinois unemployment rate has
fallen sharply in the past 12 months, to 6.6 percent from 9.1
percent. Thats the sharpest drop among all 50 states.
But that decline may exaggerate the health of the states
job market: Some of the improvement likely occurred because
many of those out of work gave up searching for jobs.
The declines come as hiring nationwide has been healthy.
Employers added 248,000 jobs in September and the unem-
ployment rate fell to 5.9 percent, a six-year low, from 6.1
percent. Employers have added 2.64 million jobs in the past 12
months, the largest annual gain since April 2006.
In Georgia, the unemployment rate fell to 7.9 percent from
8.1 percent last month, a potential boost for GOP Gov. Nathan
Deal. Deal is in a close race with Jason Carter, grandson of
former president Jimmy Carter.
Deal has questioned the accuracy of the states rate after it
jumped sharply over the summer. It was 6.9 percent in April. Yet
the state has added 83,100 jobs in the past year, boosting total jobs
in the state by 2.1 percent. Thats faster than the national pace.
Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott may also benefit from
Tuesdays figures. They show that Florida added 13,400 jobs
in September and the unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent
from 6.3 percent. The state has added the seventh-largest
number of jobs of any state in the past 12 months. Scott is in
a dead heat against former governor Charlie Crist, a Democrat
who switched from the Republican Party.
Stocks rally; S&P 500
has best day of 2014
NEW YORK (AP) The U.S. stock
market marched higher Tuesday, giving
the Standard & Poors 500 index its best
day of the year.
Investors rallied behind an encourag-
ing report on the Chinese economy as
well as strong quarterly results from
Apple and other big companies.
The market continues on its recovery
from last weeks swoon and has now
erased much of its losses over the last
two weeks.
I think its too early to call to call
this a new rally, but I think there are
definite signs that investors are gaining
confidence again after last weeks volatil-
ity, said Kristina Hooper, head of U.S.
investment strategies at Allianz Global
Investors.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
added 37.27 points, or 2 percent, to
1,941.28. The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age rose 215.14 points, or 1.3 percent, to
16,614.81. The Nasdaq composite rose
103.40 points, or 2.4 percent, to 4,419.48.
This week so far has been a contrast
to last weeks turbulence in many ways.
Volatility is down, the S&P 500 index is
on pace to have its best week of the year
and the price of crude oil has stopped
sliding. The bond market has also sta-
bilized, with the 10-year Treasury note
remaining around 2.20 percent for the last
several days.
Last week the main thing driving the
market was the decline in oil, the Ebola
scare and the rally in the 10-year Treasury
note. All of those items have stabilized,
said Ian Winer, director of equity trading
at Wedbush Securities. The Ebola risk,
which was likely never a real issue, is
being confirmed as such. Oil is holding
at $80 a barrel and the 10-year note has
stabilized.
That said, theres still a chance for
bumps ahead given that a meeting of the
Federal Reserve is coming up next week
where the central bank is expected to end
its bond-buying economic stimulus pro-
gram for good. Growth worries in Europe
and China are still top of mind, and with
U.S. corporate earnings season under-
way, the markets direction could change
quickly, traders and strategists said.
Investors are likely to see more vola-
tility, not less. We expected this to happen
now that the Feds quantitative easing
program is ending, Hooper said. We are
in unusual times, so expect to see more of
an outsized reaction in the market.
Since falling to a six-month low last
week, the stock market has now basically
recovered nearly all of its losses. After
closing at 1,862.49 on Oct. 15, the S&P
500 index has rallied more than 4 percent
in four days.
One notable part of the market inves-
tors have been moving back into is small-
er, riskier companies. While the S&P 500
and Dow are still down 1.6 percent to
2.5 percent this month, respectively, the
Russell 2000 is up 1 percent for October.
Thats an important sign that inves-
tors are regaining their confidence,
Hooper said.
Apple gave a boost to the overall mar-
ket. The maker of iPhones and iPads rose
$2.71, or 2.7 percent, to $102.47 after
its quarterly results easily beat analysts
expectations. Apple said it earned $1.42 a
share last quarter, helped by strong sales
of the latest version of the iPhone.
Investors also had an encouraging
report out of Asia. Chinas economy
expanded by 7.3 percent in the third quar-
ter from a year earlier. Although growth
slowed slightly from the previous quar-
ters 7.5 percent, analysts had expected a
more marked slowdown, to 6.9 percent.
China has been a worry spot for inves-
tors for many weeks, and has been a key
reason why financial markets have been
volatile lately. Signs of a slowdown in
Europe have also been worrying inves-
tors.
After last weeks volatility in the
financial markets, the last thing investors
needed was bad news out of China, said
Neil MacKinnon, global macro strategist
at VTB Capital.

Dear Abby
Wrong number leads woman
to think shes met Mr. Right
DEAR DOCTOR K:
Between my job and kids, I
rarely have time to prepare and
sit down to a healthy meal. Ive
had my fill of fast food and
energy bars. Any suggestions?
DEAR READER:
It certainly is easy to eat
badly. For one thing, as you
say, many of us have very
hectic schedules. Fast food is
appealing because its fast. But
fast food is often unhealthy.
You dont have to sacrifice
nutrition when youre on the
go. I spoke to Dr. Michelle
Hauser, a nutrition educator
and clinical fellow in medicine
at Harvard Medical School,
and registered dietitian Kathy
McManus, director of the
Department of Nutrition for
Harvard-affiliated Brigham
and Womens Hospital. They
offered the following tips to
keep meals and snacks healthy
when youre in a hurry:
-- PLAN AHEAD. Plan out
meals and snacks for the week.
Make a list and go shopping.
Then make time in your
schedule to cook or prepare the
foods.
-- COOK IN BATCHES.
Cook extra food to save time
later. You can do this with
entire meals or with meal
elements. For example, cook
a large batch of brown rice,
then portion out and freeze the
extra. The rice reheats in the
microwave in minutes.
My wife and I do this a
lot. Last night we had what
my niece (when she was a
child) called Uncles Famous
Hamburgers. I mixed my
secret ingredients into the meat
about six weeks ago, and froze
six meals worth of patties
-- each meal two patties in
its own zippered freezer bag.
Well have them every week or
two. Same thing with Uncles
Famous Spaghetti Sauce. An
hour on a Sunday afternoon
saves many hours down the
road.
-- EAT NUTRIENT-DENSE
FOODS. Nutrient-dense
foods are the ones with the
most vitamins and minerals
and the fewest calories. Try
legumes (beans, lentils), dairy
products (low-fat yogurt,
eggs), avocados, leafy greens
(kale, spinach), vegetables
(Brussels sprouts, mushrooms,
bell peppers), seeds (flax,
pumpkin, sesame, sunflower),
nuts, whole grains (barley, oats,
quinoa, brown rice), fish and
poultry.
-- TRY A SMOOTHIE. Toss
as many ingredients as you like
into a blender, and youll have
a drink that can be used for a
meal or a snack throughout the
day. Plain yogurt and frozen
berries and bananas are a good
place to start. But smoothies
dont have to be fruit-based.
Plan ahead to keep healthy
meals and snacks ready to go
Vegetables (think carrots, beets
and spinach) make delicious
smoothies as well. Dont
believe it? Try it. (Still, I prefer
fruit.)
-- KEEP SNACKS SIMPLE.
Choose just one or two
ingredients. Some satisfying
and nutritious pairings include
plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
and a few nuts; a tablespoon
of peanut butter and an apple;
or chopped vegetables and a
quarter-cup of hummus. Keep
snacks packed in your pantry or
refrigerator, ready to grab and
go.
Youve got to have chips
sometimes? There suddenly are
lots of delicious chips on the
market that have no unhealthy
trans fats and are very low in
unhealthy saturated fats. But,
in moderation, nuts still are
healthier than even healthy
chips. And, for me, more
delicious.
DEAR DOCTOR
K: My doctor says I have
prehypertension. If its pre,
then I dont need to worry
about it, right?
DEAR READER:
Prehypertension is a blood
pressure reading of 120-
139/80-89 mm Hg. Thats the
gray zone between normal
blood pressure (below 120/80)
and hypertension, or high
blood pressure (above 140/90).
We know that hypertension is
dangerous. It increases your
risk of heart disease, stroke,
kidney disease and impaired
vision.
Doctors first coined the term
prehypertension because
they found evidence that having
prehypertension puts you at
higher than average risk for
developing hypertension later
on. Having prehypertension
meant, at a minimum, two
things. First, it was even more
important for you than for
the average person to make
the lifestyle changes that
reduced your risk of getting
hypertension. Second, it meant
your blood pressure needed to
be measured more frequently.
Now, new studies reveal
that prehypertension also poses
health risks of its own. It may
independently increase your
risk of having a stroke. For
example, researchers analyzed
19 high-quality studies that
focused on the links between
prehypertension and stroke.
The studies included more
than 750,000 people who were
followed for 36 years. The
researchers broke down the
participants into two groups:
-- Low-range prehyper-
tension: Blood pressure
between 120/80 and 129/84.
--High-range prehyper
tension: Blood pressure
between 130/85 and 139/89.
People with high-range
prehypertension had a 95
percent higher stroke risk
compared with people with
normal blood pressure. Those
in the low range had a 44
percent higher stroke risk.
This study only adds to the
evidence that we should take
prehypertension seriously.
How seriously? So far, doctors
dont recommend that people
with prehypertension take
medications. Blood pressure
drugs lower blood pressure, but
they can also cause harmful side
effects. In the prehypertension
range, benefits and risks seem
to cancel each other out.
Instead, people with
prehypertension should focus
on lifestyle changes: low-
salt diets, healthy weight and
regular exercise. These can
lower your blood pressure
to the normal range without
having to take medications.
After the concept of
prehypertension began to
appear in the media, a patient
of mine asked me a question.
Why do you doctors keep
lowering the threshold of
things I should worry about?
Why do you keep dropping
the level of blood pressure, or
of cholesterol, that you call
high? Are the drug companies
pushing you to prescribe more
drugs, so they make more
money?
Well, thats an
understandable concern. Of
course the drug companies
would like to sell more drugs.
And, unfortunately, some
doctor thought leaders are
paid a lot of money by drug
companies, and then talk to
other doctors about the virtues
of medications.
For the record, I dont
take any money from drug
companies. And I have not
seen scientific evidence
showing a benefit from
treating prehypertension with
medications. But that could
change as new research is
published. In any event, Ill
recommend medications for
something only when I think
theres solid scientific evidence
that you will benefit -- and that
the benefit will exceed the risk.

DEAR ABBY: I met a guy over the
phone when he called my number by mistake.
After a brief conversation, not particularly
polite on my part, the call ended. Forty-five
minutes later he called me back, saying he
couldnt stop thinking about me. I thought,
Who is this goofball?
Over time, my phone has been pinging
with messages from him. He has sent his life
story, photos and address. He even gave me
his Social Security number and told me to
run a check on him to see for myself that hes
legitimate. We have been talking for eight
months and are making plans to meet. He lives
in another state, but he has a sister in mine.
Should I meet him in his hometown or
let him come to me? I dont believe this is a
game-playing situation. I am 55 years young;
hes 64. We converse on FaceTime daily and
at night we have Bible studies together via the
Internet. He makes me happy. What is your
opinion, and what should I do? -- SWEPT
AWAY IN GEORGIA
DEAR SWEPT AWAY: Your romance
seems almost like a Hallmark Channel love
story -- two strangers who connect because of
a wrong number. However, have him visit you
first, meet your family, friends and minister.
THEN visit him in his hometown and meet
HIS friends, children (if he has any), minister,
etc.
Dont do this just once -- give yourself
enough time to get beyond the endorphin rush.
He may turn out to be Prince Charming, but a
woman can never be too careful, and you need
to proceed with your eyes wide open. If this
becomes a successful relationship, it will be a
wonderful how did you meet? story.
DEAR ABBY: My parents just informed
me that they have not been practical about
their finances. I suspected it based on the ratio
of their salaries to their purchases, but it was
confirmed during a conversation in which they
said they have saved nothing for retirement.
More disappointing, they both had advantages
that would have set them financially for life
had they been smart with their money.
On the other hand, I save religiously, and
Im on my way to building the retirement I want
for me and my wife. I feel bad for my parents,
but I cant help worrying that everything I am
working for is being threatened by their poor
choices and unwillingness to change how they
deal with money.
When I expressed concern that I would
have to support them financially at some point
because of this, I was made to feel selfish
because of all the sacrifices they made for me
over the years. Who is wrong here? -- BAD
SON IN BALTIMORE
DEAR SON: Your parents are, for
having blown the money they should have
been saving and for trying to guilt you into
supporting them. (By the way, theyre not
alone. MANY Americans in their 50s and
60s have only now awakened to the fact that
they wont have enough -- or any -- money to
supplement their Social Security.)
The sacrifices parents make are supposed
to be done out of love, not to indenture their
children. If there is still time for them to
sock away some savings for when they will
no longer be working, I suggest they start
now. (Suze Orman says that whether youre
in your 30s, 40s or 50s, its never too late to
start saving for your financial future.) As a
GOOD son, ask if they would like your help
in investing it.

Mayor P.J. Johnson said he
attend Mayors Court training
and learned of new updates to
the legislation. He said there
were a few changes and one
was to the requirement for vil-
lages to hold Mayors Court.
Instead of 100 people in
a village, they now need 200
to hold court, Johnson said.
The village that had 198 peo-
ple appealed the legislation
which was attached to a tex-
ting ban law and the Ohio
Supreme Court repealed the
texting ban law and upheld the
Mayors Court law.
Johnson also announced
he would like to participate in
Limas Chamber of Commerce
Marketing Allen County
where the village would be
highlighted in a video, which
would be owned by the village
for the purpose of marketing
the village.
There would be a cost asso-
ciated with the video, Johnson
said. It would be a good tool.
Council members approved
paying the villages bills in the
sum of $12,743.
Village Administrator Sean
Chapman announced the vil-
lage has completed plans for
an Open House at the Water
Treatment Plant from 6 - 8 p.m.
on Nov. 13.
This is the opportunity to
show people what our com-
munity has worked very hard
to accomplish, Chapman said.
The general public is wel-
come.
He said Kirk
Brothers, Peterman and
Associates, Industrial Fluid
Management(IFM), Findlay
Machine and Tool (FMT) and
Poggemeyer Design Group will
be there for the ribbon-cutting
ceremony.
He said the plant is operat-
ing very well and IFM and
FMT will finalize all controls
and get all settings the way
they should be as they work
towards turning the plant over
to the village by the end of
October. Chapman said if there
any problems, modifications
can be made remotely.
The 2014 Ohio Public
Works Commission (OPWC)
Street Resurfacing Project has
been completed and paid in
full. The invoice from Bluffton
Paving was for $76,813 and
their original bid amount was
$77,852.50.
OPWC paid $53,769.10 or
70 percent of the project and
the village was responsible for
the remaining 30 percent or
$23,043.90, Chapman said.
WTP employees Bill Becker
and Jim Cave are scheduled for
training in Lima at Alloway
Testing on Nov. 3 at a cost of
$29 each.
The training provides con-
tact hours needed to keep their
certifications, he said. This
is a morning-only seminar, so

performed as normal.

Gallmeier reminded everyone Trick or Trick will be held
from 6-7:30 p.m. Oct. 30.
In old business, Councilman Josh Gillespie inquired if the
timing of traffic signals had been changed recently as he had
received several complaints.
Ive had several people tell me they are now worse than
before, Gillespie said.
Coleman said someone worked on the signals recently and
was supposed to show the maintenance department how to
operation and adjust the lights but it had not been done.
Osting gave an update from the Public Properties Committee
meeting prior to the council meeting.
We reviewed seven properties that are not contiguous with
the city and are receiving inside rates due to annexation papers
being signed some time ago, Osting said. We are going to
introduce three pieces of legislation at the next meeting to
address some issues with annexation, property owners and utili-
ties.
Some of the annexation agreements date back to 1987.

With aggregation, everybody combines into one large
bloc to show the use of more kilowatt (KW) usage result-
ing in a better rate, Smith summed it up. Its all pretty
seamless; the village and the high school have already
joined.
Mayor Jim Smith announced that Public Works Utility
Commission (PUCO) will be available at 6 p.m. on Oct.
30 in the library for a meeting with council members and
residents to answer questions about electricity aggregation.
Residents can bring their utility bills with them and
representatives from PUCO will go over their billing,
Smith said.
Council members also discussed the villages insurance
renewal with the options of increasing their liability limits
at the cost of $1,100 and increasing their earthquake limit
to $100,000.
We scored better this year and received a $1,420 credit
making our premium for the year $13,305 for the next three
years, Smith said.
Outgoing Park Board President Jerry Siefker announced
that he was resigning as president and Nathan Wannemacher
will be taking over as the new president.
Weve shifted and created a Fort Fest committee,
Siefker said. Wes Klir and myself will chair the festival
which will give me the time and energy to improve it.
Siefker said the Eagle Scouts will work on a project in
the park, adding three new flag poles each having their own
flag; an Ohio flag, a POW-MIA flag and a Fort Jennings
flag.
Smith reported that there will be asphalt work done
in front of the post office, fire station and in front of Jim
Wiegings house. He said the work will be done sometime
this week.
In addition, Smith said he is working to collaborate the
cleaning and the video recording of storm sewers through-
out the village. He said Columbus Grove has a camera
which costs $150 per hour and they can camera pipe with
a diameter of 8-24 feet and cover 1,000 feet. Smith said it
would be ideal to do it this fall after the leaves have fallen
and before it freezes.
The next village council meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. on
Nov. 18 in the library.
For its part, the public questioned
the administration and the board as
to what efforts they have considered
to reduce the impact of those fund-
ing losses and what cuts are under
consideration.
In response, both Parker and
Superintendent Tony Cox assured
those assembled the district is already
spending less than the state average
per student while meeting the lions
share of the states requirements.
When asked if he would issue a list
of activities or services that the district
may have to cut, Cox simply said,
No.
If we dont pass this levy, are we
going to have to tighten our belts? he
asked, then shrugged. If I lose votes
because I didnt put out a cut list, Im
okay with those votes that we lost
because I dont think thats the right
thing to do.
More discussions along similar
lines continued after the board official-
ly convened its meeting. Throughout
these discussions, members of the
districts faculty, teachers clad in gray
and orange T-shirts, sat silently. On
the tables before them were letter-
sized signs with black block lettering
that read, Support Teachers. The
reverse side of these placards bore the
message, Elida TeachersWorking
Not WalkingYet.
A prepared statement sent via
email by Elida Education Association
Crisis Committee Chair Michael
Klaus explained their message and
their presence.
Members of Elida Education
Association (EEA) are continuing to
provide the best education for its stu-
dents and community while working
under an expired contract. The EEA
as the utmost respect for the collec-
tive bargaining process and the board
of education, thus the EEA looks
forward to continuing the bargaining
process. Meanwhile, the members of
the EEA will continue doing what
they do bestproviding for the edu-
cational needs of the students of the
district.
The next meeting will begin at 7
p.m. Nov. 18.
