So many tears, so much sadness

DELPHOS - Delphos resident Dennis

Wieging was just 19 years old when he was
drafted by the Army, left Fort Jennings and
spent a year in the brush of the Republic of
Vietnam taking solace from a prayer book
and living the mindset I have to kill them
or they will kill me.
Its been 45 years since I came home
from the war and each time I approached
the traveling Vietnam War Memorial, I
cried so many tears, I could not go on. I
could not walk up to it, he said emotionally. It wasnt until the Moving Wall was
in Defiance, this past May, that I could
finally walk up to the wall.
He said hes very grateful he made it
back and its very sad that many of them did

not make it back home.
When he was called and asked if he
wanted to take the last Honor Flight out of
Toledo to Washington, D.C., on Oct. 29,
he accepted. Knowing it would be a very
emotional journey, Wieging had second
thoughts and chose to take the flight anyway.
When we landed in D.C., we had so
many people shaking our hands and hugging us, he said. Wherever we went
three busloads of veterans police escorts
led the way, stopping traffic so we could
arrive at our next destination on time.
After departing the bus near the Vietnam
Memorial Wall, Wieging said he met up
with two Delphos vets and walked to the
wall where they laid red carnations at the
foot of the wall.
There were a lot of tears and it was very

sad for everybody, he said emotionally. I
walked over to the Lincoln Memorial to
chill.
He said Arlington Cemetery is huge and
sad with rows and rows of headstones.
They had a cookout for us at a country
club where we had barbeque chicken, burgers, potato salad, baked beans, hot dogs,
salad and soft drinks, he said. I want to
thank the workers and volunteers who made
the Honor Flight possible.
There are many things about his time
spent in Vietnam that he doesnt forget,
including the first attack he was involved
in. He explained it was an L-shaped ambush
that happened on the third day he was in
country. At the time, they were behind a hill
in the brush when lead started to fly.

ny, told me just shoot, damn it! Wieging

said. I was scared to death and opened fire
and shot blindly into the brush wherever I
thought the enemy was.
He said May 11, 1969, was a day he
couldnt stand up because of flying lead.
As I laid there in the dirt, I thought
to myself, what day is this? he said.
Mothers Day. You dont think I was
thinking about my mom on Mothers Day?
He carried A Soldier Prays in Vietnam
prayer book and took solace in A Prayer
When Home Sick.
It was a 24/7 job and we stayed out
in the brush three weeks straight, he
explained. I got jungle rot and my skin
from my wrist just past my elbow was falling off.

Holiday shoppers: Be savvy, safe Sponsors needed

with tips from STEADY U Ohio for Christmas party
COLUMBUS As holiday shopping season gets into full swing, the
STEADY U Ohio initiative reminds
Ohioans that there are things they can
do to prevent falls during the hustle and
bustle of bargain hunting. Older adults
are at increased risk for falls and fallrelated injuries, and the chances of a
fall go up when we are rushing around
or distracted by crowds and sales. The
Ohio Council of Retail Merchants and
the Golden Buckeye Program have partnered with STEADY U Ohio, an initiative of the Ohio Department of Aging,
to provide these tips for shoppers to
prevent falls: Shop at off-peak times
to avoid crowds and long waits. Bring
someone with you who can wait in line
for you while you sit and rest.
Report slipping hazards, such as
spills, loose rugs or mats, and unsafe
sidewalks or stairs to store staff immediately.
Avoid walking around items blocking
aisles or displays that block your view of
other shoppers and obstacles. Tell store
staff that you think these are hazardous.
Ask store staff for help carrying
heavy or bulky packages or bags to
your vehicle. Avoid carrying large, lowhanging bags that can trip you.
If you use your cane or walker, always
shop with it or take advantage of the
mobility scooters many stores provide if
you could be on your feet for longer than
you usually find comfortable.
Tell store staff if you see anybody
behaving in an unsafe manner.
If you fall, even if youre not hurt,
notify store staff and management right
away so that they can document the
incident and take steps to prevent future
accidents.
Falls are the leading cause of injuryrelated hospitalization and death among
Ohioans age 65 and older, said Bonnie
K. Burman, Sc.D., director of the Ohio
Department of Aging, which operates
STEADY U and Golden Buckeye.
However, falls are not a normal part of
aging, and most falls can be prevented.
Knowing your surroundings and your
abilities are important to ensure a fallsfree holiday season.
Creating falls-free zones in Ohios

retail establishments can be achieved
largely through staff and customer education, added Lora L. Miller, director
of governmental affairs for the Ohio
Council of Retail Merchants. We have
partnered with STEADY U because we
know that every retailer in Ohio wants to
create a safe and pleasant environment
and shopping experience for their customers and staff. When staff or customers fall in your business, it
doesnt just hurt them, it
also hurts your reputation
and your bottom line.
In addition to tips for
individuals and families to
prevent falls, the STEADY
U Ohio website (www.
steadyu.ohio.gov) features
a section specifically for
businesses with tips and
resources designed to help
them create a culture of
falls prevention among their staff and
customers.
Things retailers can do to prevent
falls for staff and customers include:
Create a falls prevention policy and
make sure your employees know and
understand it.
Identify issues with flooring, stairs,
lighting and housekeeping that could
cause accidents.
Have staff regularly monitor aisles
for items that have fallen off shelves and
are blocking. Provide seating around
your business, particularly in areas
where customers may have to wait during busy times.
When its snowy or icy, extend sales
or offer shopping options for older customers.
Empower staff to offer assistance
to customers who appear to be having
trouble getting around.
Follow STEADY U Ohio on
Facebook and Twitter for daily tips,
news and resources to help prevent falls
year-round.

CANTON (AP) Painted portraits of children and

teens awaiting adoption will be displayed this month in
one northeastern Ohio county as a social service agency
there seeks to find permanent homes for them.
The Canton Repository reports that 13 local artists
donated their talents to create the portraits. The paintings are part of a touring exhibit organized by the Stark
County Job and Family Services.
The whole idea is to plant that seed in peoples
minds about adopting, or to make them take the next
step if they have been considering it, said Susan
Verble, a program administrator for public relations at
county agency.
The initiative is in its fourth year. The social service
agency is actively seeking permanent homes for 38
Stark County youths.
The artists work will be displayed this month in various locations, including the Massillon Museum and the
Carnation Mall in Alliance.
Participating artist Judi Krew says the portraits incorporate the artists styles and what theyve learned about
the children.
Its a way to expose the kids in the paintings to
people all over Stark County, Krew said.
Artist Lynn Digby agrees. There are a lot of kids
who are up for adoption and looking for homes and we
never see their faces.
LOS ANGELES A team

of animated Marvel characters rocketed past a group of
wormhole-bound astronauts at
the weekend box office.
Disneys animated adventure Big Hero 6, featuring the
inflatable robot Baymax and
his prodigy pal Hiro from the
Marvel comic book, debuted in
first place with $56.2 million,
according to studio estimates
Sunday. Paramounts space
saga Interstellar, starring
Matthew McConaughey and
Anne Hathaway as astronauts,
took off in second place with
$50 million, estimates said.
Before launching in more
than 3,500 theaters this weekend, writer-director Christopher
Nolans Interstellar played
Wednesday and Thursday in
about 250 theaters equipped
to project the movie on film
The Dark Knight filmmakers preferred method of
showcasing his creations.
Interstellar opened below
Nolans last film, the mindbending thriller Inception,
which conjured up $62.8
million when it debuted in
2010. Nolans sci-fi odyssey
also wasnt in the orbit of last
years $55.8 million opening
for Paramounts previous space
epic, Gravity. Interstellar
has a hefty running time of
169 minutes, while Gravity
clocked in at 91 minutes.
The
difference
is
Interstellar isnt in 3D, and
certainly the running time
on our film does change the
play pattern in that you lose
an evening show, said Megan
Colligan, Paramounts head of
domestic marketing and distribution. Given those factors, we did spectacularly well.
Gravity also opened by itself.
We had another big film in the
marketplace.
If the estimates hold up,
this weekend will mark the
fourth time in box office history that a pair of films both
opened with $50 million or
above. The previous matchups
were Monsters University
vs. World War Z in 2013,
Madagascar 3: Europes Most
Wanted vs. Prometheus
in 2012, and WALL-E vs.
Wanted in 2008. In each
instance, the animated option
came out on top.
Both movies were able to
do well without cannibalizing
each others audiences, said
Paul Dergarabedian, senior
media analyst for Rentrak. By
opening a diversity of product
against each other, the industry
can expand the marketplace.

Its a perfect example of counterprogramming. It paid off for

the industry, and it just doesnt
happen that often.
Dergarabedian noted the
box office total was down
about 7 percent compared with
the same weekend last year,
when the Disney superhero
sequel Thor: The Dark World
opened with $85.7 million.
Interstellar, which cost a
reported $165 million and is
being distributed by Warner
Bros. internationally, dominated overseas, earning an
additional $80 million from 62
markets, including the United
Kingdom, South Korea, Russia
and France. The film is set to
open in China on Wednesday.

The Monroe County

that culminated in a hat auction to benefit the downtown

but some were put aside for
the special fundraiser.
The vintage hats, ranging
from a $6 orange straw widebrim to a one-of-a-kind Jack
McConnell black-feathered
pillbox that went for $210,
raised $933. Tickets to the tea
and auction, which featured
homemade scones, finger sandwiches, cookies and Ahmad

delicate china cups with saucers, raised another $1,470.
Women attending the event

Sometimes it amazes me how many

changes have occurred in the world in
my lifetime.
Some of them have been great advances like computers, which have made
researching and finding information
much easier. I like being able to look up
nearly anything on the Internet, it has
made going to the library and looking
things up on the card catalog completely
obsolete. Does anybody even remember
the Dewey Decimal system anymore?
I like shopping on-line. Having the
ability to find virtually anything I want
in exactly the color I was looking for is
fantastic.
I like being able to download photographs on the Internet and send them to
family members all over the country.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of things
that I dont like about computers, too.
I dont like how much time kids (and
adults) waste on the Internet. Facebook,
Twitter, and YouTube have perfected
the art of wasting time. This doesnt
even take into account all of the games
people are playing. And this is best-case
scenario.
Many of these things arent just wasting time, sometimes they can be destructive. Now that cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and identity theft have become more
common place, this useful device we
have in our house has become a monster.
We now need to purchase software to
protect us from the viruses and malware
that are invading our computers and our
lives.
Our kids now have access to pornography at younger and younger ages with
a simple click of a mouse. Much of it has
been designed so that a mistaken search
will send them to sites they had no intention of going to. While it is normal for
kids to be curious, the unfettered access
they have to nearly anything the world
has to offer can be very damaging for

young minds.
There are of course many safeguards
that can be put on your computer to try
and prevent this; unfortunately, kids are
generally more tech savvy than their parents and can easily figure out how to get
around these safeguards.
For instance, I have put safeguards
on my computers so my son can only
use them to look at certain websites and
only when I am there to monitor his
use. I monitor his Facebook so I know
what he is posting and what his friends
are posting. The result is that he almost
never uses our computers and he doesnt
go on Facebook. I suspect that he probably uses his friends computers and I
know he accesses other social sites like
Instagram.
I havent made any attempts to shut
down or monitor these sites. I am fully
aware I cant keep him away from everything. My goal was to get him to understand the reasons behind the safeguards.
Why he has to be cautious about who he
talks to and what he says. The types of
pictures that are appropriate and the ones
that arent. He knows the legal issues
involved in using the Internet and I hope
that is enough.
This electronic monster we have let
into our house is here to stay for better
or for worse. Hopefully we can keep it
under control.

Watson wins his first

World Golf Championship
Associated Press
SHANGHAI Even in the midst of a meltdown, Bubba
Watson never lost hope Sunday in the HSBC Champions.
He stood on the 16th tee with a 2-shot lead. He trudged
off the 17th green facing a 1-shot deficit behind five players
suddenly tied for the lead. And right when it looked as though
Watson had blown it, he delivered a finish that not even the
creator of Bubba golf could have imagined.
From some 60 yards away in a bunker left of the green
on the par-5 18th hole, Watson blasted out of the sand and
watched his ball roll 25 feet before it dropped for eagle.
Watson was so stunned that his eyes widened and he screamed.
He didnt know what else to do.
Moments later, he rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th
in a playoff to beat Tim Clark and capture his first World Golf
Championship.
You never know what hes going to do, said Rickie
Fowler, who watched it all unfold at Sheshan International.
Watson closed with a 2-under 70, a score that doesnt even
begin to describe his wild ride an eagle, birdie, par, bogey
and double bogey filled his scorecard over the last five holes.
The 2-time Masters champion looked like a lost cause when
he stood in the bunker on the 18th in regulation, waiting his
turn to play. Thats when he turned to his caddie and told him,
Its been a miserable couple holes here but this will change
everything if it goes in.

Arlington pushes Jays out of playoffs

By LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
ARLINGTON The Arlington

Red Devils dominated both sides of the
line of scrimmage on Saturday night to
eliminate St. Johns from the playoffs
in Division VII Region 24 quarterfinal
action 28-0 at Castor Field.
Ive been around long enough to see
a lot of good running backs along with a
lot of good lines, Blue Jay coach Todd
Schulte said. Arlington is very good up
front and we had trouble containing the
two big tackles all night, creating problems for our offense all night. It all starts
up front and we got beat by a stronger
team up front.
The Blue Jay defense started out
strong against Red Devils star running
back Austin Rettig on their first series
of the game. Lineman Trent Closson
stuffed him at the line on 3rd-and-9,
forcing a punt.
St. Johns took over for their first
possession at the 25 and managed to
pick up a first down before the drive
stalled. Deven Haggards punt bounced
off the shoulder pad of an Arlington
defender and the Jays recovered on the
Red Devils 36. With new life, the Jays
reached the 28 after a completion from
Nick Martz to Evan Hays to set up 4thand-1. Logan Speyer dropped Martz for
a 2-yard loss, giving the pigskin back to
Arlington on downs.
It took Arlington only two plays to
score as Rettig ran for 12 yards, followed by a 58-yard touchdown run for
the first score of the game with 4:40
left in the first period. The point-after
by Grant Hester was good as Arlington
led 7-0.
The Blue Jays got good field position
to start their second series after a nice
kickoff return by Aaron Reindel to the
36. However, a 3-and-out followed
despite Martz completing short passes
to Eric Vogt and Austin Heiing and
Senior Austin Heiing of St. Johns wraps up Arlington running back

Buettner move in to finish the stop. Those three seniors, as well as 12
others, played their final game for the Blue Jays in a Region 24 quarterfinal loss to the Red Devils. (DHI Media/Larry Heiing)
Haggards kick pinned the Red Devils
back at their 12 yard.
The long field just gave Rettig more
room to run as he racked up runs of 32,
nine and 18. A sack by senior defensive
end Alex Haunhorst slowed them briefly but after two more runs by Rettig,
Dominique Fuller used his legs to score
from 22 yards out only 34 seconds into
the second quarter.
The Jays started in great shape again
as Hays returned the kickoff to the 42.
The Jays went on a 14-play, time-consuming drive that included four straight
Martz completions (Vogt twice, Tyler
Conley and Hays). Later near the red
zone, Martzs pass was tipped by Conley
and Aaron Reindel grabbed it for 1stand-goal at the 9 yard line. Arlington
prevented the Jays from scoring for the
first time in 10 quarters, denying four

straight runs (Hays and 3 by Martz).
That goal line stand by Arlington
was a huge turning point in the game,
commented Schulte. If we could have
scored just before the half down 14-7,
that would have gave our team some
much needed momentum and confidence.
St. Johns got the ball to open the
second half and quickly went 3-and-out.
The Red Devils also went 3-and-out
but with a different result: Fuller scored
again on a 52-yard run on the third play
from scrimmage for Arlington in the
second half. The extra point by Heaster
put Arlington up 21-0 with 9:04 remaining in the third.

Grove sends archrival Rockets out of playoffs

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
COLUMBUS GROVE The last time the two State
Route 12 archrivals Columbus Grove and Pandora-Gilboa
played at Clymer Stadium, the host Bulldogs needed a late
safety to secure a 2-point win.
They didnt need such heroics Saturday night.
The Bulldogs picked off five passes and downed the
Rockets 21-6 in a Region 24 quarterfinal.
The Bulldogs (7-4) will tussle with Tiffin Calvert 7 p.m.
Saturday at a site to be determined.
Were excited about being in week 12. We finally broke
through that week 11 drought, Grove coach Andy Schafer
said. We played great defense, especially our front four and
the linebackers; they controlled the line of scrimmage and put
great pressure on the quarterback. Its nice to have a pair of
6-2 safeties (Tanner From and Logan Diller) that just attack
the ball in the air. Theyre defense forced us to huddle, which
we really havent done all year, because they were doing some
things we hadnt seen before. We made adjustments up front
and our offensive line began to assert itself.
Grove held the Rockets (6-5) to minus-3 yards rushing (23
rushes), sacking senior signalcaller David Miller (17-of-31
passing, 174 yards) six times for minus 50 yards.
The first two possession ended in punts. On the latter from
Joey Warnecke (19 rushes, 103 yards on his 18th birthday),
Jacob Basinger gathered in the boot at his 11 in the middle and

the corner behind the block of David Bogart during
the Bulldogs 21-6 victory over SR 12 archrival Pandora-Gilboa Saturday at Clymer Stadium. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
started right. He appeared to be hemmed in but broke several
tackles, cut across the grain, found the sideline and sped to the
pylon with 7:48 showing in the first. The 2-point run failed for
a 6-0 P-G edge.

Committee could decide between Big 12 or Big Ten

for the AP Top 25 and wrapping up college footballs
11th weekend.

WHICH BIG IS BEST?
Big 12 vs. Big Ten.
The race for the first
College Football Playoff
could be headed toward the
selection committee choosing
between a Big 12 team and
Big Ten team for the final
spot in the final four, two
conferences that go about
determining their champions
in very different ways.
Baylor of the Big 12 and
Ohio State of the Big Ten
took big steps forward in The

Associated Press Top 25 on
Sunday after winning crucial
road games.
Baylor climbed four
places to No. 6 after routing Oklahoma, 48-14,
and
Ohio
State
moved up five spots
to No. 8 after beating
Michigan State 49-37
on Saturday night.
The Bears slipped
in right behind Big 12
rival and fifth-ranked TCU.
Ohio State is now best positioned to represent the Big
Ten in the playoff, though
No. 11 Nebraska (8-1) cant
be discounted.
For the fifth straight week,
the top teams in the media
poll are Mississippi State

(9-0) and Florida State (9-0).
The No. 1 Bulldogs received
49 first-place votes. The second-ranked Seminoles have
12.
Oregon jumped to
No. 3 past Alabama,
which remained No.
4.
Mississippi State
is at Alabama on
Saturday. If either
team wins out, you
can safely slot them into the
playoff.
Oregon and No. 7 Arizona
State are on a similar path.
The Ducks and Sun Devils
could meet in the Pac-12 title
game. If either wins the rest
of its games, a playoff spot
should await.
Same goes for Florida
State of the Atlantic Coast
Conference if it can stay
unbeaten. The Seminoles
play at Miami on Saturday.
That scenario would leave
the Big 12 and Big Ten vying
for a spot and the selection
committee weighing the merits of how conferences determine a champion, and how
much the randomness of inleague scheduling should be
held against a team.
The 10-team Big 12
doesnt play a conference
title game, but is the only
Big Five league with a full
round-robin schedule. One
true champion is the Big 12s
slogan.

Experienced BU women
expect big cage season
By Ryan Schadewald
Sports information assistant
BLUFFTON The Bluffton University womens basketball team looks to continue to build on last years run into the
Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament and has
important contributors back from that team.
The Beavers return four starters and eight letterwinners
from last years 14-12 squad, leading to high hopes for the
upcoming campaign.
The expectation is that the learning curve will be minimized, head coach Chad Shutler said about the amount of
talent returning to the squad for the coming season.
Shutler is going into his 10th year
coaching the Beavers and will be assisted by second-year graduate assistant
Brianna Calver, as well as first-year
assistant and former Bluffton High
School head coach Dennis Lee and
Lawrence Ervin.
A key returnee to the roster comes
in senior Brenna Kurilec (Mt. Gilead,
Gilead Christian), who injured her knee
in the preseason of the 2013-14 season
and never saw the floor. After a breakout
second half in 2012-13 when she led the
Beavers in scoring eight times, Coach
Beining
Shutler and the women are excited for
her to return.
She had a great second half to her sophomore season and
we expect her to pick up where she left off, Shutler said.
Blufftons other senior is Mikayla Coburn (McGuffey/
Upper Scioto Valley), who has battled back from numerous
knee injuries to be able to get on the floor for her final season.
The Beavers return two double-digit scorers from last year
in Kaitlyn Pennekamp (Hamilton/Ross) and Taylor Whitaker
(Mansfield/Lexington). Whitaker did an exceptional job providing instant offense off the bench for most of 2013-14.
Leading rebounder Rachel Beining (Ottoville) also brings back
9.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and a .519 shooting percentage for her
sophomore season. Point guard Taylor Knight (Perrysburg), a
2-year starter out front, is the floor general for an experienced
Beaver squad after averaging 3.5 assists per game as a sophomore.
Bluffton also returns junior Abby Jerger (Middletown/
Madison) and sophomore Gwen Downing (Kenton) as key
bench performers from last season. Junior Marina Lyons
(Springfield/Catholic), along with sophomores Ashley Salyer
(Marion/River Valley) and Jessica Boggan (Cincinnati/
Princeton), look to increase their minutes this season.
Bluffton will also have key freshmen looking to fight for
playing time in 2014-15, including Macey Sheerer (Bucyrus),
Abigail ODonnell (Arcanum), Olivia Poole (Shaker Heights)
and Vanitrus Prime (Cincinnati/Winton Woods).
We have to improve our shooting percentage and rebounding and also reduce our turnovers if we are to be successful
this season, explained Shutler about the keys to this seasons
success.
The Beavers struggled to start the season last year, falling
to 2-4 early on before four straight victories to finish 2013,
including winning their own holiday tournament. Bluffton
rounded out the season losing only two home conference
games while finishing HCAC play at 10-8 and earning a 4-seed
in the HCAC tournament before falling to Manchester by three
points in the opening round.
Fast-forward to this season and Coach Shutler believes the
team can build on the success they had in conference play last
year, including splitting with perennial favorites Hanover and
Franklin.
Our expectation is to be back at the top end of the conference again this year, according to Shutler.
He also believes that the returning depth is crucial because
the chemistry of the team is already there. The HCAC coaches
rewarded Bluffton for its highly-successful 2013-14 campaign
by voting the Beavers fourth in the recent pre-season poll,
behind #25 Transylvania, Hanover and Franklin.
The Bluffton women will open the 2014-15 season on
Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Webster University Tip-Off tournament in St. Louis, Mo., against Spalding University.
The home opener will be the following Saturday when they
take on the College of Wooster Fighting Scots in the Sommer
Center at 3 p.m. on Nov. 22.
Grove
(Continued from page 6A)
After a Grove punt, the

Bulldogs nabbed the first
of their five picks by
Warnecke at the Pandora
46. However, they could not
take advantage and a 40-yard
Warnecke punt stopped dead
at the 3.
The Rockets had a 3-andout and the hosts commenced
at the 36. After a 2-yard loss,
Reid Stechschulte (9-of-12
passing, 143 yards) dropped
and found From (4 catches,
60 yards) on an out-and-up
along the right sideline with
19 ticks left in the canto.

Warnecke added the kick for
a 7-6 edge.
The last five drives ended
on four punts and the Rockets
ran out of time at the Grove 13.
The hosts opened up the
second half with a David
Bogart 20-yard kickoff
return to the 36, then went
on a 7-play drive, keyed by
Stechschultes 28-yard run.
At the Rocket 4, Stechschulte
faked Warnecke off left guard
and kept it around the corner
to the end zone at 9:44 of the
third. Warnecke added the
point-after for a 14-6 lead.

Palmer hurt, Stanton

rallies Cardinals past Rams
Associated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. After Carson

Palmer went down with an injured left
knee in the fourth quarter, the Arizona
Cardinals perked up.
In a little under four minutes, backup quarterback Drew Stanton and the
defense combined to score three touchdowns that rallied the Cardinals past
the St. Louis Rams 31-14 Sunday and
improved their record to an NFL-best
8-1.
Whether the Cardinals will need to
try to keep winning minus Palmer was
uncertain.
Palmer left with 11:28 to play and the
Cardinals trailing 14-10.
On the first possession after Palmer
was hurt, rookie John Browns diving
grab of Stantons 48-yard touchdown
pass put the Cardinals up 17-14 with
7:40 to play.
Palmer was taken to the locker room
on a cart after being helped off the field.
It was the same left knee that he
injured Jan. 8, 2006, in a playoff game
against Pittsburgh, when he tore his
ACL and MCL on his first pass of the
game.
Patrick Peterson got his first two
interceptions of the season, returning the
second one 30 yards for a touchdown to
make it 24-14. Moments later, Austin
Davis fumbled and Antonio Cromartie
returned it 14 yards for a score as
Arizona outscored the Rams 21-0 in the
fourth quarter.
St. Louis (3-6) was shut out in the
second half.
At 8-1, the Cardinals have their best
record after nine games since going 11-1
as the Chicago Cardinals in 1948.
Palmer was playing some of the best
football of his career and, on Friday,
signed a 3-year contract extension worth
a reported $50 million with $20.5 million guaranteed.
On third at the Rams 28, Palmer
dropped back to pass, then tried to
avoid blitzing safety Mark Barron. The
quarterbacks leg gave way and Barron
touched Palmer for a sack.
Stanton went 2-1 as a starter earlier
this season when Palmer was out with a
damaged nerve in his throwing shoulder.
On Petersons second interception,
the ball bounced off the hands of the
Rams Kenny Britt. Peterson caught it
and raced to the end zone for the score.
On St. Louis next possession, Kareem
Martin hit Davis and the ball came free
as he tried to pass. Cromartie picked
it up and ran in for the score to put
Arizona up 31-14 with 3:58 to play.
Arizona has outscored opponents in
the fourth quarter 91-34.
The Rams pointed to a crucial penalty after a 41-yard pass to Jared Cook
had put the ball on the Arizona 4-yard
line late in the third quarter. But Lance
Kendricks was called for a blindside
block, a 15-yard penalty that pushed St.
Louis back to the Cardinals 45. Calais
Campbells second sack of the game
eventually pushed the Rams out of fieldgoal range.
Gordon
There were no fights following this race but it was

still intense as the championship field flipped and
flopped with every lap. The
most shocking change came
after Gordon had crossed the
finish line in second behind
Jays
49ers 27, Saints 24, OT

NEW ORLEANS Colin Kaepernick
completed a 51-yard pass on fourth down to
sustain a tying drive, Ahmad Brooks sacked
and stripped Drew Brees in overtime, and
Phil Dawson kicked a 35-yard field goal to
cap San Franciscos stirring 27-24 victory
over New Orleans on Sunday.
The victory snapped a 2-game skid for
the Niners (5-4) and marked the first home loss for the
Saints (4-5) in more than a season.
The Saints had won their past 11 at home overall
and the past 20 at home including the playoffs, when
coached by Sean Payton, who was suspended in 2012.
Brees was intercepted twice but also passed for
three scores, the last to Jimmy Graham to give the
Saints a 24-21 lead with 1:52 left in regulation.
Graham also caught a desperation pass in the end
zone at the end of regulation but was called for offensive interference.
Broncos 41, Raiders 17
OAKLAND, Calif. Peyton Manning threw five
touchdown passes in less than 17 minutes and the
Broncos handed the Raiders their 15th straight loss.
Manning threw a pair of early interceptions that put
Denver (7-2) in a hole against the NFLs only winless
team. That all changed with a short pass that C.J.
Anderson turned into a spectacular 51-yard catch and
run. The touchdowns didnt stop until Mannings day
was done after three quarters.
Manning added two TD passes to Julius Thomas
and two more to Emmanuel Sanders as the Broncos
rebounded from last weeks loss at New England by
beating up on the Raiders (0-9).
Manning went 31 for 44 for 340 yards. He extended
his record with at least two touchdown passes in 15
straight games and his streak of 48 games with at
least one TD pass is third longest, breaking a tie with
Johnny Unitas.
There was almost nothing positive from the Raiders
in their first blowout loss since interim coach Tony
Sparano replaced the fired Dennis Allen after four
games.
Seahawks 38, Giants 17
SEATTLE Marshawn Lynch rushed for a seasonhigh 140 yards and career-best four touchdowns.
Russell Wilson threw two interceptions, the
Seahawks committed three total turnovers and Eli
Manning picked apart Seattles secondary for the
first half. It all didnt matter because of Lynch leading
Seattles unstoppable run game.
The 350 total yards rushing by Seattle (6-3) were a
franchise record and the most by any NFL team since
Cleveland had 351 vs. Kansas City in 2009.
Lynch carried 21 times but there was plenty of
running to go around. Wilson added 107 yards on 14
carries and a 1-yard TD run with 5:19 left. Most of
Wilsons runs were designed as New York (3-6) failed
to keep contain.
Jets 20, Steelers 13
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Michael Vick threw
two touchdown passes and the Jets forced four turnovers while shutting down Ben Roethlisberger to end
an 8-game losing streak.
Roethlisberger threw six touchdown passes in each
of his last two games and was playing in front of a
MetLife Stadium crowd that appeared nearly half-filled
with Terrible Towel-waving Steelers fans. But the Jets
(2-8) wouldnt allow Roethlisberger to get into much
of a rhythm.
Roethlisberger finished 30 of 43 for 343 yards and
connected with Martavis Bryant for an 80-yard TD with
1:16 left. The Steelers (6-4) attempted an onside kick
but Eric Decker recovered to seal it for the Jets who
avoided setting a franchise mark for consecutive losses.
Jaiquawn Jarrett had two interceptions, a sack and
a fumble recovery for the Jets, who hadnt won since
beating Oakland in Week 1.
Vick, who became the first quarterback in NFL
history to run for 6,000 career yards, threw touchdown
passes to T.J. Graham and Jace Amaro. Vick was 10 of
18 for 132 yards and ran eight times for 39 yards.
Harvick and thought he was

in. Instead, Ryan Newman,
needed one more position to
bump Gordon out of the final
four. He ran Kyle Larson
high up the track to get the
rookie out of his way to claim
an 11th-place finish that put
Newman in the Chase.
I didnt take him out,
St. Johns picked up a critical 4th-and-6inches play on their next drive as they desperately needed a score but Chase Glick
sacked Martz twice to end that threat.
The high-octane Red Devil offense
needed just five plays to score again as
Fullers arm accounted for the score
an 11-yard TD pass to Aaron Starr with
3:03 left in the third.
Todd Schulte and his coaching staff
pulled out all the stops in the second half
to try to get the Jays offense on track,
including going to a 2-back set for the
first time all year. They did reach the
Arlington 19 but Arlingtons Matt Glick
picked off a Martz pass at the goal line
and returned the ball out to the 23.
The Blue Jay defense stepped up to
force a rare punt by Arlington.
Senior Jorden Boone took over at quar-
After forcing another

3-and-out and a 17-yard
shanked punt by T.J.
Koepplinger, Grove finished
the scoring on a 2-play,
40-yard quickie. At the 38,
Stechschulte again dropped
and threw down the middle to Aiden Fortman. The
junior got inside the DB and
gathered it in for the six.
Warnecke made it 21-6 with
7:17 remaining in the period.
The Rockets then put
together a pair of nice drives.
The first reached the Bulldog
5 but a penalty, an Elisha
Jones sack and two incom-
Cook got behind rookie Deone

Bucannon for a 59-yard touchdown pass
with 1:50 left to give St. Louis a 14-10
halftime lead.
The Cardinals had scored 10 in a
row to take the lead when Chandler
Catanzaro tied an NFL record with his
17th consecutive field goal. The
streak ended when he missed a
53-yarder the play after Palmer
was hurt.
Newman said. In a day or

two, hell understand. Its
hard to rationalize that but I
did what I had to do. I dont
like racing that way.
Gordon wound up missing
the final by one point to Newman.
He was tied with Harvick in the
standings but Harvick earned the
automatic berth for his victory.
terback for St. Johns as they picked up a

first down on pass interference against the
Red Devils but the defense stiffened and
the Red Devils took over on downs.
The Jays forced a punt but any hopes
for a comeback were dashed when
Aaron Starr picked off a Boone pass
near midfield.
Arlington improves to 10-1 and
moves onto to the second round to play
McComb (8-3) next Saturday night.
The Blue Jays finish the campaign
with a 4-7 record as 15 seniors played
their last game wearing the royal blue
and gold of Delphos St. Johns. The
seniors had the distinction of being a
class that qualified for the playoffs all 4
years of their high school careers.
The Devils (10-1) advance to battle
McComb 1:30 p.m. Saturday as part of
a day-night doubleheader at Findlays
Donnell Stadium.
ARLINGTON 28, ST. JOHNS 0
plete passes ended it.

The second, Pandora
drove from the 20 to the
Grove 20 in seven plays but
on play 11, Diller picked off
Miller in the end zone.
A series later, Christian
Stechschulte picked off
Miller but the Rockets
forced another punt, with
Warneckes 37-yarder pinning the guests at the 4.
From returned a pick
25 yards to the Rocket 20.
However, on fourth down at
the 23, Warnecke was well
short on a 40-yard field goal
with 1:52 left.
COLUMBUS
GROVE
21,
Lions 20, Dolphins 16

DETROIT Matthew Stafford led Detroit to
another thrilling victory in the final minutes, throwing
an 11-yard touchdown pass to Theo Riddick with 29
seconds remaining.
Calvin Johnson had seven catches for 113 yards
and a touchdown in his first game back from an ankle
injury and the Lions (7-2) won their fourth straight
game. Their past three victories have been by a combined six points, all with fourth-quarter
comebacks.
The Dolphins (5-4) managed one
touchdown after they blocked a
Detroit field goal attempt and Dion
Jordan returned it deep into Lions territory. Miamis Ryan Tannehill threw for
201 yards but it was Stafford who made
the final big play, snapping a sidearm
pass to a sliding Riddick in the back left
corner of the end zone.
Chiefs 17, Bills 13
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Anthony
Sherman recovered a fumble to set up
Alex Smiths 8-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Jamaal Charles also scored on a 39-yard run as the
Chiefs (6-3) scored twice in span of 4:31 to overcome
a 13-3 deficit. The Chiefs defense then made a stand
at its 15 by forcing Kyle Orton to throw four consecutive
incompletions and turn the ball over on downs.
Kansas City improved to 6-1 since opening the
season with two losses. Charles finished with 98 yards
rushing, while Smith went 17 of 29 for 177 yards.
Smith scored two plays after Sherman punched
the ball out of the hands of Bills punt returner Leodis
McKelvin and then pounced on the loose ball at
Buffalos 26. That wasnt the only Bills miscue in a game
Buffalo settled for two field goals on four trips inside the
Chiefs 20.
Marcell Dareus had three of Buffalos six sacks.
Cowboys 31, Jaguars 17
LONDON Tony Romo returned after missing last
week because of a back injury and helped the Cowboys
snap a 2-game losing streak by throwing three touchdown passes.
Originally hurt two weeks ago, Romo started for
Dallas (7-3) and completed 20 of 27 passes for 246
yards against the Jaguars (1-9) at Wembley Stadium.
This was the last of three regular-season NFL games
this year in the British capital.
Romo threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jason
Witten in the first quarter and then hit Dez Bryant for a
pair of TDs in the second, the first from 35 yards and
the second from 68. Romo finished with a season-high
passer rating of 138.8.
DeMarco Murray ended up with 100 yards rushing
on 19 carries and 31 yards receiving for Dallas. He
had his record streak of eight straight 100-yard games
to start a season snapped by the Cardinals last week.
Bryant gained all of his 158 yards in the second
quarter and did it by breaking several tackles on each
touchdown catch.
Ravens 21, Titans 7
BALTIMORE Justin Forsett ran for 112 yards and
two touchdowns to back a strong performance by the
Baltimore defense.
The Ravens (6-4) bottled up rookie quarterback
Zach Mettenberger, who went 16 for 27 for 179 yards
and an interception in his first road start. He was sacked
five times and rarely got the chance to comfortably plant
both feet in the pocket.
Tennessee didnt get its initial first down of the
second half until 4:37 was left in the game. Soon after
that, newcomer Danny Gorrer intercepted a pass to
clinch the victory.
The Titans (2-7) have lost seven of eight. It was 7-7
at halftime but Tennessee had three 3-and-outs in the
third quarter while the Ravens took control.
Falcons 27, Buccaneers 17
TAMPA, Fla. Matt Ryan threw for 219 yards and
one touchdown, helping the Falcons stop a 5-game
losing streak that left the Bucs with a five-game skid
of their own.
The Falcons (3-6) won for the first time since
embarrassing their NFC South rivals 56-14 on Sept. 18,
a game in which the Bucs (1-8) lost quarterback Josh
McCown to a thumb injury.
McCown returned to Tampa Bays starting lineup
for the first time since loss, throwing for 301 yards and
two TDs. His 1-yard pass to Austin Seferian-Jenkins
put the Bucs ahead 17-16 early in the fourth quarter.
But Ryan drove the Falcons down the field, throwing a
5-yard touchdown pass to Roddy White and a 2-point
conversion to Harry Douglas.
Steven Jackson scored on a 1-yard run and Matt
Bryant kicked four field goals for the Falcons.
Thats the system we

have, Gordon added. I mean,
I could have taken out Harvick,
too, to make it in. But I didnt.
Also eliminated Sunday
were Matt Kenseth, who finished third, Keselowski, who
needed to win to make it in
but finished fourth, and Carl
Edwards, who was 15th.

DEAR ABBY: May I

have some advice about a
touchy subject? One of my
boyfriends close friends
is going through his third
bout with cancer and the
prognosis is not good. He
is married with a healthy
3-year-old son. So imagine
our surprise when his wife
announced shes pregnant.
This is a decision we do
not support. I dont know
what theyre thinking, but
if you are facing the reality
that your spouse will not
be around much longer, we
dont feel it is wise to bring
another child into the world
who will never know his or
her father.
Some of her close
friends want to throw her a
sprinkle, and although I
am only an acquaintance, I
have been invited. How do I
handle this? Should I attend
and keep my thoughts to
myself, decline and/or send
a small gift in my absence?
I have a hard time making
small talk about subjects I
dont agree with.

Higher bar for health law

in second sign-up season
WASHINGTON (AP) With a bright look to its rebuilt

website, version 2.0 of President Barack Obamas health
insurance overhaul represents another chance to win over a
skeptical public.
But more than possible computer woes lurk as HealthCare.
govs second open enrollment season begins Saturday.
The risks include an unproven system for those renewing
coverage and a tax hit that could sting millions of people.
Those tax issues are the result of complications between the
health care law and income taxes, and they will emerge during next years filing season.
Things will not be perfect, said Health and Human
Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell, trying to set expectations. We are aiming for a strong consumer experience, and
it will be better.
The Obama administration cannot afford to repeat last
years online meltdown. Congress will be entirely in
Republican hands in 2015, and GOP lawmakers will be
itching to build the case for repeal. The Supreme Courts
decision Friday to hear another challenge to the law is also
casting a shadow.
The health insurance exchanges offer taxpayer-subsidized private coverage to people who do not have access on
the job. HealthCare.gov will serve 37 states, while the rest
run their own markets.
This new sign-up period will be the first time that renewal has been tried for current customers, and also overlaps
with the first tax-filing season that the laws requirements
are in effect.
On the plus side, premium increases are expected to be
modest in many, though not all, states. New insurers have
come into the market, promoting competition, and regulators now take a close look at anything above a 10 percent
increase.
The online application for most new customers is down
to 16 screens from 76. Website security is better, thanks to
aggressive monitoring. The government and insurers have
added call center staff.
The administration had said last week that consumers

would be able to get an early peek at 2015 plans and premiums this weekend. It looked like that early goal was slipping. Officials said Sunday that window shopping would be
available overnight, without giving a specific time.
This year, the bar will be higher.
The Congressional Budget Office has projected that 13
million people will be covered through federal and state
insurance markets in 2015. That means retaining most of the
7 million people now covered and adding 6 million more.
Many are skeptics who sat out last years campaign.
One potential motivator: The laws tax penalty for
remaining uninsured is rising, to a minimum of $325 for
2015.
We have some momentum built up, said Rachel
Klein, enrollment strategist for Families USA, an advocacy
group supporting the law. We can build on that, but it is a
somewhat higher bar to find all the people we need to help,
because by definition, they are harder to reach.
An Associated Press-GfK poll found that 31 percent of
those questioned expect the health insurance exchanges to
work better, while 49 percent think they will work about the
same. Also, 18 percent expect version 2.0 to be worse.
Some of the potential enrollment pitfalls:
For those already signed up, coverage will renew
automatically if you do nothing. Sounds good, but maybe
not. You could miss out on lower premium options and get
stuck with an outdated and possibly incorrect subsidy. Shop
around, but dont dally. You have until Dec. 15 to update
your income information or change plans if you want to
have everything in place by Jan. 1.
New customers, be advised: The Nov. 15-Feb. 15
open enrollment is half as long as last time, and it overlaps
with the holidays. Try to get familiar with some of the basic
health insurance trade-offs. A low-premium silver or bronze
plan may not make sense if youll wind up with high out-ofpocket costs for the deductible and copayments. In that case,
you might be better off going for the gold.
Officials: IS leader wounded in airstrike

BAGHDAD (AP)
Iraqi officials said Sunday
that the head of the Islamic
State group, Abu Bakr alBaghdadi, was wounded in
an airstrike in western Anbar
province. Pentagon officials
said they had no immediate information on such an
attack or on the militant leader being injured.
Iraqs Defense and Interior
ministries both issued statements saying al-Baghdadi
had been wounded, without
elaborating, and the news
was broadcast on state-run
television Sunday night.
The reports came at a
time when President Barack
Obama said the U.S.-led
coalition was in a position
to start going on the offensive against the Islamic State
militants.
Al-Baghdadi, believed to
be in his early 40s, has a
$10 million U.S. bounty on
his head. Since taking the
reins of the group in 2010,
he has transformed it from a
local branch of al-Qaida into
an independent transnational
military force.
He has positioned himself
as perhaps the pre-eminent
figure in the global jihadi
Services
community. His forces have

seized large parts of Syria
and Iraq, killed thousands of
people, beheaded Westerners
and drawn the U.S. troops and
warplanes back into the region,
where Washington is leading
a campaign of airstrikes by a
multinational coalition.
An Interior Ministry intelligence official told The
Associated Press that alBaghdadi was wounded by
an Iraqi airstrike that came
during a meeting Saturday
with militants in the town
of Qaim. The official, cited
informants within the militant
group. A senior Iraqi military
official also said he learned in
operational meetings that alBaghdadi had been wounded.
The operation was carried
out by Iraqi security forces,
both officials said, although
they did not know how seriously al-Baghdadi was hurt.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to
discuss confidential material.
A statement posted Sunday
on the official Facebook page
of Defense Minister Khalid
Obeidi also said al-Baghdadi
was wounded, but added that
he was targeted in the north-
ern city of Mosul, currently

the groups biggest stronghold in Iraq. A senior U.S.
defense official said Saturday
that the coalition conducted a
series of airstrikes targeting
a gathering of Islamic State
leaders near Mosul, but he
could not confirm whether
al-Baghdadi was part of the
gathering.
Reports
circulated
Saturday that al-Baghdadi
may have been wounded in
an airstrike, but there was no
confirmation at that time from
either U.S. or Iraqi officials.
The
U.S.
Central
Command said Friday it conducted two airstrikes near
Qaim that destroyed a militant armored vehicle and two
checkpoints of the militant
group, which is also known
by the acronyms ISIL and
ISIS. On Nov. 1, the U.S.
military conducted four
strikes in the town.
When asked about the
Iraqi reports, Air Force Col.
Patrick Ryder, spokesman for
U.S. Central Command in
Tampa, Florida, said Sunday:
We have no information to
corroborate reports that ISIL
leader al-Baghdadi has been
injured.

Ohio farmers see big

jump in property taxes
CLEVELAND (AP)
Ohio farmers are seeing big
increases in their property
taxes and, like the weather
they curse and embrace,
theres not much they can do
about it.
Recent
reappraisals
by county auditors have
increased taxes on some farm
parcels as much as 400 percent at a time when grain
prices have plummeted.
Taxes on Ohio farmland
are not based on market values like houses or commercial property, but instead are
calculated using a complex
formula that includes crop
prices, to determine the lands
current agricultural use value
or CAUV.
But the CAUV formula
relies on previous years prices and not what farmers are
now getting for their grain,
primarily corn and soy beans.
Ohio farmers are essentially victims of their recent success. Favorable growing conditions and technology have
resulted in bumper crops the
last several years. And while
farmers have benefited from
high grain in the last couple
of years, prices have plunged
in 2014.
Most states in the Midwest
use similar tax formulas that
consider soil types, crop
yields, crop prices and interest rates. In Ohio, farm taxes
are calculated by averaging
five years worth of numbers

over a seven-year period, discounting the high and low
years.
Jarra Underwood, auditor
for rural Wayne County south
of Cleveland, said higher farm
values are the result of perfect storm. Wayne Countys
assessment on agricultural
property has doubled from
2013 to this year, she said.
The CAUV has been in
place since the early 1970s
and has largely helped farmers. If agricultural property
was taxed on market value,
farmers in exurban areas
where land is coveted for
development would have to
sell because they could not
afford to keep their land, said
Lowell Wolff, a dairy farmer
in Medina County south of
Cleveland.
Wolff said property taxes
on his various parcels have
risen as much as 300 percent.
He would like to see small
adjustments in how CAUV
is calculated, but is wary of
wholesale changes
Were paying high taxes
now, Wolff said. But in
a few years that will turn
around.
The Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation is concerned
about the big jump in taxes.
Officials say those who will
be hardest hit are older farmers who lease their land and
live on fixed incomes.
Why many arent celebrating

low US unemployment
WASHINGTON (AP) The unemployment rate no longer seems to reflect
Americas mood.
Fridays strong jobs report showed that
the jobless rate the most closely watched
gauge of the economys health is down
to 5.8 percent. A year ago, the rate was 7.2
percent. Five years ago, it was 10 percent.
Its the kind of sustained decline that
would normally suggest a satisfied public.
Not so much anymore. After Tuesdays
midterm elections, exit polling showed how
little falling unemployment has resonated. Most voters said they cast their ballots out of fear for the economy, stripping
the Democrats from the Senate majority
and implicitly rejecting President Barack
Obama.
Many Americans dont feel theyve benefited from falling unemployment any more
than they have from a sustained rise in the
stock market or from solid U.S. economic
growth.
Some hints of their discontent can be
found within an otherwise glowing jobs
report for October: Wages that are barely
growing and a stubbornly low proportion of
adults who either have a job or are looking
for one.
Underneath the surface, things are not
good, said Michael Mandel, chief economic strategist at the Progressive Policy
Institute. Both Democrats and Republicans
would be making a mistake if they looked

at the unemployment numbers and didnt
understand why voters are angry.
Is there solid evidence that the economy
is better? Definitely.
Home values have recovered from their
recession-induced lows, according to real
estate groups. Government figures show
that fewer and fewer workers are being laidoff. Consumers punched the accelerator on
auto sales this year. And the stock market
has kept up its stampede to record highs.
But the jobs report contains clues to why
many voters shrugged off those positive
trends.
Consider wages. Workers pay usually
outpaces inflation once the unemployment
rate dips beneath 6 percent. Thats because
when fewer people need to look for jobs,
employers must raise pay to attract the most
desirable among them.
Even with 5.8 percent unemployment
and even though more than five years have
passed since the Great Recession officially
ended, this phenomenon has yet to take
hold. Most workers pay is barely keeping
up with historically low inflation.
People arent looking at the statistical
aggregates, said Bill Galston, a senior
fellow at the Brookings Institution. They
care about their standard of living, and most
Americans think their standard of living has
declined.

A new entrance stone will be unveiled at

Spencerville Area Veterans Memorial Park at
7 p.m. on Tuesday.
State of Ohio VFW Commander Robert Poole
of Cleveland and VFW District 2 Commander
John Wiley of Van Wert are among the dignitaries who will attend the event. The Spencerville
High School choir and band will also perform.
The public is invited for the presentation of
the addition to the park.
The new stone will list all conflicts/wars in
which US military personnel have fought and
died. The list, containing many forgotten small
conflicts in addition to wars which receive more
attention in history books, is long enough to
cover both sides of the stone. The number of
casualties is listed with each conflict.
The stone was purchased and erected with the
goal of reminding visitors to the park about the
many conflicts in which Americans have given
their lives for their country.
Local veterans who died in service to their
country will also be remembered during the
service.

movement, he said. If we
heard anything, we used our
field radios to call back to the
company and fire would fly.
While in the landing zone,
he said he and his company got
their first bath in a month.
We took our bath in the
river, a bunch of bare-assed
GIs, Wieging chuckled.
He said the compound was
attacked on particular night and
in the morning soldiers cleaned
up camp. It was nothing like
cleaning up beer cans after a
party; they were picking up
body parts.
I picked up a GIs foot
from the ankle down and it had
a green sock on it, he said
straight-faced. I asked my sergeant what to do with the foot
and he told me to throw it in the
trash barrel, so, I did.
He said there was no way
to identify the foot and that
the bodies had already been

transprted out of the camp. GIs
bodies were always sent home.
The enemy would not claim
their dead soldiers bodies so
Weigings company would pick
them up, along with body parts,
and take them to a mass grave/
garbage pit. He said bulldozers would come periodically to
cover the bodies.
His meals consisted of C
rations which were cold eggs,
spaghetti, beef stew, kraut and
hot dogs.
I wanted a Big Mac badly,
he smiled. We ate when we
could.
Wieging said it was his last
night before he was to fly home
and to save time in the morning, he turned all his weaponry
in that night. He said there was
an early-morning attack and he
had no weapons to protect himself.

I always had my M-16 by

my side along with 25 magazines and two grenades, he
explained. I was scared to
death and all I could do was lay
on the ground and wait it out. I
just wanted to go home.
Daylight came and Wieging
got on the plane - a C130 - and
flew to Cam Ranh Bay, jumped
on a commercial flight to San
Francisco, got on the first plane
out to Texas, flew to Chicago
and then landed in Toledo.
After I finally did get home,
I went to the Old Fort where
Milton Nichols bought me my
first beer. Whitey Sherman
bought me a beer, as well as
an unknown patron, he said.
That was my welcome home.
